http://www.punchng.com/news/deji-of-akure-dies-at-63/

The Deji of Akure of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adesida, the monarch that presides over Akureland, the Ondo State capital is dead.

Details of his passage was sketchy as of press time but our correspondent learnt on Sunday that the monarch died around 4am as a result of an unknown complication.

The 63-year-old first class paramount ruler ascended the throne about three years ago after his predecessor was deposed as a result of a street fight with one of the former monarch’s wives.

A highly competent source confirmed the death but said such announcement could only be made after seven days in accordance with tradition.





Very sad. I still saw him at his son's wedding 2 weeks ago at Oregun. He was full of life and went round greeting all the guests & introducing Ondo state governor to a number of his guests.

Eyop: Go to Bridgestone Office at Iyana Isolo at Apapa oshodi express way and you sure will get a good tyre there at an affordable price. When you purchase your tyre there,they will fix it and do a computer wheel balancing and alignment for you there free of charge.

Hello. Kindly give a more detailed direction of how to get to the bridgestone office at Iyana Isolo, I'm not very familiar wt tht area and I want to replace my tyres wt original. Also pls do u hv an idea of the cost of each 195/65R15 tyre.

Thanks.

Hello peeps.
Kindly advise. I need to replace my tryes. I use a Baby Boy 98. My plan is to replace the two front tyres first & then the remaining 2 next month. My budget initially was like 25k.

I later stumbled on a thread where it was advised not to go for tyres in tht my range as its goin to be chinko tht can mess me up.

My vulcaniser was also bragging tht there is a place he can help me get 1st grade fairly used, set of 4 for just 20k. That its far better than new chinko tyres.

I'm planning to sell the car 3rd quarter next year, that is the reason I'm reluctant in considering standard brands like bridgestone, Michelin & others.

Seriously, I don't want tyres to embarrass me as I'd be travelling soon; and so I'm now considering stretching myself a lil & buy 2 standard tyres for now.

Pls where can I get in Lag. I don't want some unscrupulous businessmen to go & sell refurbished tyres for me as new.

Someone mentioned on a thread tht bridestone has a ware house at Apapa Oshodi express way (Iyana Isolo) but tht description is not detailed enough.

Can someone pls give me a detailed direction of where I can get in Lag. And an idea of the cost of each P195/65 tyre. Either micheline, bridestone or any other standard brand tht won't mess up.

Although I'm still considering my vulcanizer's set of 4 for just 20k since I'll be selling the ride next year.

BlessedFellow:

@Kindy: Please is fintserve.com listed on nebosh official website as an accredited centre?

I did mine wt a company in Omole phase 2, Berger, Lagos. The name of the company is Hybrid consulting (www.hybrid-hse.com). They offer NEBOSH IGC for N245, 000.

Very nice & friendly peeps. They re also accredited, u'll write the exam there on the 10th day. From my experience, no matter how good they are where u want to use, u will still hv to do a lot of self study. I mean a lot.

chess guru:
Well my mum came to ph for the 1st time and said ph reminded her of lagos of the 1990's. Same drive, same energy, but no organization.
Brodaly accommodation in ph is expensive o. A self contain In that dreaded Aluu in port harcourt can be gotten for100,000 to 130,000 a year (yes o that dreaded aluu, which is a student area sef).
In town is not too good either. J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ put your mind for a minimum of 250,000 (in a slightly decent area) to 300, 400, 500k (all depending on the particular area you choose).
Final advice will be for you to get a place close 2 work because you don't know hold up till you get to ph. The drivers in lag are matured. Sometimes you can even stick out ur hand and beg a danfo, and he might let you in the lane, Hell ave seen folks J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ flash their head lamps here, and that's enough for another driver to let you into the lane...try that shi*t in ph and dey will almost jam your hand and your head lamp together !
My honest opinion is that if your being sent 2 ph, then a raise wouldn't be a bad idea (except if your coy is an oil company, then nothing do you boss!)

Thank u so much for the Port Harcourt info. I appreciate it Bro.

chess guru:
Like seriously where do the keke load from?
Make I no fall my hand any further , but I don't think onikan is part of obalende.
Some1 help me out. After all we learn everyday

There are two spots in Obalende that Keke loads VI. They load at the junction of that road beside that big building with the sign post "Ministry of commnication" (to your left, if you are facing the building). They also load at the junction of a road that faces Access bank directly, few metres away from that police headquarters I mentioned earlier.

Onikan is not Obalende, but not too far away. Few minutes drive from Obalende will take you to Onikan.

mincuu:


which bridge the keke go follow reach Onikan roundabout?

The keke is not passing any bridge. U re not familiar wt the place as well.

I can't recollect the name of the street but tht police headquarters in Obalende is on tht street. There is an Access bank & a GTB on tht same road. U turn at the first turning to the left & it will take u straight to Onikan roundabout.

chess guru:
Wtf!! Keke from obalende to vi
Which lagos are you staying in, which bridge the keke they pass

The Keke will pass thru Onikan roundabout to Muson centre & then link tht one way road heading to VI.

You re obviously not familiar wt this route & should hv just asked to be enlightened. I just check mated the Chess guru

chess guru: @ op if a poor man can survive in ph (a plate of food in smelly canteen goes For a minimum of 300 naira), then anyone can make it in lag.
I suggest you toughen up

Sorry for digressing; Bros abeg how is standard of living generally in PHC? Is there any major difference wt Lag? My coy wanna transfer me frm Lag to Port, same salary, but I will be given some pay as relocation allowance. I can actually turn it down but I'm kind of tired of Lag & want to hv a feel of another part of the country. Pls do u hv an idea of the cost of a 2-bedroom in a nice but not too expensive area?

Emchio: I'm using this opportunity to thank all those that have in one way or the other contributed to my Nebosh success- the materials, PQ and encouragements, were all helpful. It's been an experience worthwhile!

Now, that I've made a distinction in Nebosh, coupled with a first degree and masters in Geography& Environmental Management; and Environmental Technology respectively, can someone be helpful enough with an HSE or related job connection?

I will really appreciate such help! Thanks and God bless....

Congrats Bros. I got my own result yest. I got credit. I missed distiction by just 8 points, e pain me small sha, but all the Glory to God cos I did the course under great stress. God will provide us with a good offer Bro.

I also hv a MSc in Environmental Pollution Management. I need to move into HSE ASAP, I'm just tired of my present Customer service role.

PapaBrowne:

You guys think business is about sentiments.
And so when Emirates, Turkish and Saudi Arabian fly Kano route for 6 months and keep flying with empty planes, what next?
Egypt Air has been flying Kano forever and they surely are not having a good time as they have to fly from Kano to Lagos to pick up passengers before heading out to Cairo. Or go and ask Ethopian how their performance in Abuja has been since they'd been flying Ethopian?

We can do all the political correctness we like, if we dont have sound economics, all these let me Airport fly international would fail!

ntry


Sir your submission is contradictory. Business is indeed not about sentiments as u said. That is the reason u must not force airlines to ply routes they dont want to ply. You are going to kill the business!

Why are you 'worrying' for these airlines? Are u saying u have more business acumen in aviation business than them??!!

These guys are business people. They said they want to ply a particular route, u are here talking about them flying empty planes after 6 months.
If the market picks up in those other regions they are not plying, no one needs tell them before they apply to also fly there.

That is business for you. Competition! That is what stimulates the growth and creates the much needed employment.

Not some biased regulatory policy based on sentiments.

Why is this country like this for God's sake?!! No wonder this country is not progressing.

Congrats! More blessings!

Looking at it from another angle, its possible the system had earlier credited u wrongly & u made use of the credit.

Trust Naija system not too dull na, immediately it wakes up & there is no credit in ur line, it simply throws ur line into debit.

Now dnt go & be thinking in terms of days or weeks, the wrong crediting may be months back.

avalontony: please what is the difference between NEBOSH and BOSSITE? please any clue can be useful, i have tried googling it, but did not get any satisfactory answer. thanks.

I guess it's BOSIET u are refering to. The full meaning is Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training. It is a safety training for peeps going offshore. Some companies will not employ u for some roles if u dont have this certification; while some others sponsor their employees for the training as it is very expensive.


NEBOSH: National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health is a body that conducts HSE competency assessments and issues certifications for same. Some of their popular certifications are NEBOSH IGC, NEBOSH Envt Cert, NEBOSH Dip, etc. You may go to their site for more info:
http://www.nebosh.org.uk/

diehard: @ Ms_Janie, No you're not right with your conclusions. Most company will not employ you without some sort of cert and experience. The field of HSE is becoming more competitive and more persons are getting certificates and experience along the way. I know of a friend who lost a job opportunity (worth 700K/month) with all his qualifications and experience on the grounds of not having BOSIET certificate (This certificate is for those working offshore and need water survival training). So, if you don't have experience to back up your job search, then get the certifications. hope that helps

I have totally forgotten about this thread. Keep it up guys.

HSE pays big time!!

Hello Diehard. I have been following this thread for a while (though I do not comment much) and I know u as one of the people that have consistently contributed immensely. Nice one, pls keep it up!

I find your post very inspiring. I studied Envt Biology and Envt Mangt. for my Bsc and MSc respectively. And I have done a number of HSE certificate courses. But unfortunately, I have not been able to get any experience in HSE but have been hooked to my Customer Service function for some years now. Thank you for your inspiring post. I will continue training myself in this field that I find so interesting till I finally get an offer.

Btw

Guys there is a company in Omole phase 2, Berger, Lagos. Offering HSE courses at reasonable prices. The name of the company is Hybrid consulting. They offer NEBOSH IGC for N245, 000.

Lagos State Police Commissioner, Umar Manko, has ordered the arrest of policemen fingered in the killing of two boys in Badagry.

The PUNCH had reported that an undergraduate of the Delta State University, Ifechukwude Nwaikpor, and his friend, Kazeem, were beaten to death by policemen and hoodlums in Ajara area of Badagry on July 21, 2013.

Manko, who said he would head investigation into the matter, blamed the Badagry Divisional Police Officer,  Mohammed Dankoli, for tagging the late schoolboys armed robbers.

The CP added that he ordered the immediate arrest of the policemen spotted in the video clip which showed how the boys  were killed by members of a vigilance group.

He said, "Actually, the Divisional Police Officer did not present the matter to us the way it happened.  When we started asking questions, we discovered that the two people, who were killed, were not armed robbers as alleged contrary to what the DPO told us.

"When we saw the video clips and watched the way those boys were killed, we told ourselves that we would be failing in our duties if we fail to bring everyone involved to justice."

Manko said he was not satisfied with the slow pace at which investigations were done and ordered the transfer of the matter to his office at GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.

He  also mandated a senior police officer in charge of Maroko Police Station, CSP Johnson Adenola, who he described as "an upright man" to superintend the trial of all civilians and policemen fingered in the matter.

 He said, "Initially, the matter was sent to State Criminal Investigation Department, but they were not moving at the pace I expected them, so I decided to take over the matter personally.

"I have brought the best hands in my command together under the leadership of DPO of Maroko Police Station, whom people have discovered to be an upright police officer.

  "He and his team would be supervised by me and we would ensure that people do not take laws into their hands next time. No one has right to take the life of another. We have one suspect in custody already and we will get the others. I will not tolerate impunity by anyone."

Nice one from CP I guess. Let's hope its not just talk. The Nigerian Police needs to 'up their game' wt regards to discipline. They have been embarrassing us for too long. Wt all these absurd & shameful incidents happening in the presence of policemen, the more civilised parts of this would would hv come to the conclusion tht Nigeria is a babaric country where everything goes. May God help us & may we help ourselves.

Good info. Thanks guys.

But house be informed about the new strategy of Lagos Uniformed men.

This time around... VIO.

Whenever they collect ur licence they will check it on this website.

https://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org/

If the details does not come, then u re in for it.

They will just declare tht its fake & then cut u a ticket for a 10k fine.

breathless: Night Vigil

me too!

My Brother I understand how you feel. A lot of people at one time or the other have been in your shoes and have come out of this kind of situation better focused and more equipped for life.

Instead of going out-rightly for another degree in Pet Engineering which will cost u a lot in respect of time, energy, finance & your emotions sef. Just try and do a MSc in a field that relates to Medicine but not to the core.

You may consider MSc. Occupational Health and Safety. After doing that coupled wt some other professional courses in Health, Safety and Environment, you may still find yourself in the Petroleum industry or any other industry/manufacturing organisation.

Going back to do another Bachelor's degree after studying medicine for so many years is going to stress u out especially if u are in Nigeria. I pray it should not go and break u sef . Doing it abroad may be less stressful.

This is so so true. I experienced the same rubbish wt this Bank. I am surprised some people are of the opinion that its Access that brought this about. Intercontinental Bank has always been like that. That was the reason i abandoned the account. My account was dormant and i decided to reactivate the account thinking they would have changed as a result of the merger wt Access, i never knew that they are even more radical now in respect of deducting customer's account.

After reactivating the account, I started experiencing different strange deductions. The day I decided I needed another account to separate some cash I designated for some particular purpose, I had the option of opening a fresh FBN account, but I was just tired of having so many accounts and decided to reactivate that Access account, I am seriously regretting that move now. Immediately my ATM expires on the account, I am closing the account. This is so so terrible. On a particular day i confronted the manager of a branch about all these deductions, I made him to realize that this is a savings account and the interest they give me monthly is hardly above 20 naira, yet they deduct almost 200 naira montly from the savings account. Imagine the irony. The guy was just speaking gibberish.

Bearshare: The NEBOSH HSE for Process Industries Certification course covers a broad range of topics in Process safety, as well as safety and environmental issues specifically associated with process industries.

This qualification is aimed at everyone who needs to understand the principles of health and safety as well as courting a career within the process industries, oil & gas, Maritime, construction and Mining sectors globally.

On the NEBOSH website, this qualification was listed as an Award & not a certificate. Infact b4 I could locate it on their site took a while. I was all along wondering where it came from b4 discovering tht NEBOSH qualifications are listed as Diploma, Certificates & Award. And the HSE PI was listed under awards. From the foregoing, I'm of the 'opinion' tht it may not carry the weight tht others listed as Certificates carry (I may be wrong sha). Anyways this just serves as caveat.

Moreover, no knowledge is wasted.

Btw

PLS I'm interested in an ISO 14000 training in Lagos. Pls I would appreciate any information on where I can do this training.

Wow, nice post. Wt renting accomodation in Lagos, one needs all the advice & tips available.

I can't even imagine getting duped after using almost a year to save for a decent accomodation tht I can raise a family inside

People wicked for this life oh.

You seem not to be informed. Go and read about the Korean war & see wht the Chinese did to the Americans. The Chinese practically secured the position the North are today for them. The North was already over-run by the South & American forces after a series of capture & re-capture of each other's territory.

The Chinese are smart, they knew the Americans were goin to push the war into China & so they entered the war whn the North was about to be completely annihilated.

War is not won by numbers as u rightly put it, but its not only numbers the Chinese hv got, they are cunny!!! They are masters of strategy & endurance. And they also hv technology as well. All America is good at is goin to war wt allies & bullying small nations. the Americans even considered using nuclear weapons when they could not resist the Chinese during the Korean war.

The Chinese confused the Americans so much with their strategy & they succeeded in pushing them back into the present day South Korea.

Its an interesting war, try & read it up, I'm sure u'll find it exciting.

The Americans are just hypocrites.if u study this war, u'll be surprised at the level of crimes against humanity perpetrated by US. Hw they were purposely blowing up dams to flood the entire North. Hw they were purposely destroying Agricultural lands to starve the North.

North Korea goin to war with the South & America will definitely draw China in. China not joining the war will bring the American threat to their door step. They were smart enough to see that in the past and they will definitely see it again.

i cam see that you're the most celebrated fool on NL.If i can deduce from your comment,you're in support of the detention of individuals on the church premises,that is in no way a police station.When did churches become detention camps?Because of your bias,lack of fear of Almighty God,and probably your mental state,your sense of reasoning chaffed to the winds.

Bros this church u re talking about has a very very big compound.

And they hv a security post manned more by police men sef (especially during programs)than civilian church security. Not sure whether its a police station anyways but it is even painted in NPF colours & policemen are always there.

I support the detention of any trouble maker in programs like ds. People shuld try & be objective on issues. Even d secondary sch I attended (a Federal Govt college) has a security post where they can detain serious trouble makers b4 they re transferred to police stations.

Do u hv an idea of wht 'few trouble makers' or unruly people can cause in an event tht has hundreds of thousands of people?

Although I'm not an MFM member but I hv been to tht prayer city before and I can authoritatively tell u tht no hawking & street trading is placed conspicuously & strategically all over the place.

If u live in Lagos u'd agree tht people tht hawk & engage in street trading re just too stubborn & difficult to manage(even by the govt). Me I'll never support police brutality sha. But one thing I noticed is tht Nigerians are generally not orderlly & does not like submitting to protocol.

We should always encourage & support things being done in an orderlly & appropriate way.
