Maybe he bought a House In V.I?

Ikeja – The Lagos State Government on Monday said it had procured no fewer than 100 vehicles for the use of traditional rulers and chiefs across the state.

Mr Ademorin Kuye, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, made the disclosure at the 2015 Ministerial Press Briefing in Ikeja.

He said the vehicles, which had since been presented to the traditional rulers, were to ease the movement of the beneficiaries in the discharge of their duties.

Kuye said the government was committed to the welfare of Obas in the state, and would continue to take steps to demonstrate it.

“With these vehicles and more that we have provided for our Obas and Chiefs, we can boldly say our traditional rulers are the most taken of in the whole of the country.

“We see traditional rulers as partners in progress and we will continue to do our best to make them comfortable,’’ he said.

Kuye said government was building new palaces and renovating old ones to enhance the comfort of traditional rulers.

He said that the palaces of the Alara of Ilara, the Ayangburen of Ikorodu and Suenu had just been furnished for the comfort of the respective traditional rulers.

Giving other statistics, Kuye said the government processed no fewer than 44 applications for the recognition and upgrade of chieftaincy stools in the last one year.

The commissioner said the state’s Chieftaincy Standing Tribunal of Enquiry had commenced inquiry into applications for upgrade to Obaship from various divisions.

He said the government gave approval and recognition to seven new chiefs and Baales in Epe/Ibeju division of the state within the period under review.

Kuye gave the new chiefs as Prince Adewale (Iwajoba of Akodo), Rafiu Bello (Baale of Okun-Ise), Raufu Mustapha (Baale of Okun-Tiye) and Raufu Alaka (Olisa of Orimedu).

He said the others were Lamoriu Adekoya (Apebi of Orimedu), Babatunde Lamidi (Aro of Orimedu) and Kabiru Ganni (Losi of Orimedu).

The Commissioner said Gov. Babatunde Fashola had presented staff of office to Prince Mufutau Ogunnukan of the Muja Ruling House as the Adegbajo of Odo-Igbajowo in Eredo Local Council Development Area.

“Chief Adisa Awoyemi, Oroja of the Fafunmi Ruling House, had also been presented staff of office as Oba of Meiran in Agbado –Oke-Odo area of the state, ” he said.

According to Kuye, no fewer than 27 chieftaincy matters have been referred to the Standing Tribunal of Enquiry for adjudication.

On boundary issues, Kuye said the government successfully resolved the boundary and land conflicts involving the Onilogbo of Ilogbo-Eremi, Phillip family and Bambgose Idolabumo Ruling House of Ilogbo-Eremi in Badary area.

He said the government had also received the report of the committee set up to look into the remote and immediate causes of the civil disturbances between two in Ijede Local Council Development Area.

“The findings and recommendations had been analysed. The Ministry had communicated directives to all the MDAs mentioned in the recommendation such that amicable solution could be fast tracked as this will engender harmonious existence between the two communities” he said. (NAN)

'Carnal knowledge'.

Not 'canal' - which is a waterway.

iyatrustee:
Unless if you are telling me that the "delegation" came in their personal capacity. If they came to rep their respective countries, my dear, na world leaders things be that!

They are not 'world leaders' if they are sent representing someone else.

A 'world leader' would entail a head of state. Most likely these are people already resident in Nigeria as Ambassadors and Charge D'Affaires, their raison d'etre is to befriend Nigerian government representatives so as to push their agenda.

Stop being so naive.

iyatrustee:
I love the way World leaders are falling over themselves to be amongst the first to be associated with Buhari.

Nigeria would be great again!

Baba get swags abeg, see him forming with daily sun N/paper

'Delegations' are not the world's leaders.

They are people who represent a nation who wish to gain something, often at the expense of Nigeria and Nigerians.

Don't be so quick to be excited, they haven't done anything to benefit you so far.

I wish I cared.

Let South Africa deal with its own issues. You have enough of your own.

Stop looking for the external approval and acceptance from others and build your own nation.

ozoigbondu:
So many crazy kings abounds in africa.He should go and defend his genodical statements with his zulu brother in lCC


All hail the lagoon king

None of them serve a purpose.

There should be no monarchs in a fledgling democracy.

princeofpeace22:
OK goood

my country Nigeria is a great country
we are getting there gradually someday


sai change

sai buhari.

the officer deserve national award .

There have always been good and honest people in Nigeria. Some have chosen to pretend as though those people do not exist so as to justify their own immoral behavior.

missystephen:
So, why did you give birth to him, when you cannot take care? Some humans in the form of women can wreck their destiny . as a result of their questionable attitudes.

You raise a good point and there are many such women but the problem is that whenever someone suggests that birth control or family planning be brought in some (or a lot of) people claim to be 'offended' by the idea that someone else should inform them on their reproductive habits.

Tubs?

You mean 'thumbs'?

OYINBOGOJU:
It is very obvious the mother has so much to explain than to ask.

Anyway i will share ,if that is all i could do to help.

It sounds like the woman was hiding the letters for 20 years. That is evil.

It's rare that men don't want contact with their children, contrary to what some might claim. The truth is that they want nothing to do with the woman.

I hope the father hasn't passed on.

PassingShot:
So, people like you would prefer we carry on as we have done in the past which is what brought us to our knees!

Have you read about how some of the performing nations such as China, Japan, Korea and even Indonesia managed to pull out of corruption which was their main stumbling block just as is with us now? It took a leader with the political will to step on toes and say enough is enough.

We cannot continue to gloss over our problems without tackling it headlong. Let Buhari fight for us to reduce corruption even if it is by 50% of what it is now.

If he can recover just about half of the stolen funds, Nigerians will be amazed to see what the money can achieve for us.

Lastly, who says that while the war against corruption is going on other businesses of the nation cannot be continued? Please let us unite to encourage the General to help retrieve some of the loots from the wicked unpatriotic thieves.

China, Korea and Indonesia still have problems with corruption.

Whenever there is a change of leadership in China that is when increasing numbers of Chinese officials are dealt with but it depends upon which faction they belong to.

I wonder why so many people insist on risking their lives crossing the roads instead of using the pedestrian bridges.

That punishment is odd though. They should fine people who don't use the pedestrian bridge.

manny4life:
That is your belief and not his... There are MANY men and women who have the same physical interaction and nothing to show for it despite having a clean bill of health.

Biology is not a 'belief'.

There are biological issues that would stop some people from procreating - nothing to do with the imaginary spirit world. The human body is a complex machine, any number of physical (and mental) issues could stop procreation from taking place.

Twaci:


So sad. A child is a gift from God, mentally ill or not and should not be abandoned that way. I am disappointed in her parents but still, who knows what they have been through? (Financially, mentally and/or physically)

My heart goes out to the little angel and I do pray that she is well taken care of.

A child is a responsibility borne of physical interaction between a man and a woman.

There is no 'god' involved in that process.

I have no respect for the parents in this position but there are people all over the world who have done likewise and worse.

I always find it odd how people in the tropics think that it is a sign of prosperity to dress in a similar fashion to those in northern Europe.

What reason is there to wear a blazer in 30 degrees celcius?

bushdoc9919:
But you cannot have those social policies without a hefty treasury.

And it seems to me that countries that are innovative make more money than raw material reliant countries.

We cannot have an effective social/welfare policy because we don't have enough money....thanks to the fact that oil...our only resource....is subject to price fluctuations that affect the amount of kudi one can make from it.

That is why we have to develop an industrial society. We have no choice.

Developing a robust economy should always be a priority but I was not thinking of expensive welfare programs - more so using the existing networks to spread information that will assist in social development.

Basic lessons and information on health and hygiene would go a long way in parts of Nigeria - the need to keep an environment clean, proper refuse collection practices, how to deal with waste water etc. The money for such a project could easily be found, no need for a hefty treasury.

The other fact is that many of these social policies are cost saving - advising people to have fewer children is one such example.

sweetguy26:
Most of our problems started during the Obasanjo regime in 1999. I find it hypocritical that Nigerians will accuse GEJ for all the problems this country is facing.

Most of Nigeria's problems started in the military era.

Had you listed the Obasanjo regime of 1976-1979 then you would have been right.

bushdoc9919:
China has too many people....yet is close to being developed.

It isn't the number of people that determines how a country is developed...it is how you use those people that determines how a country is developed.

That is why you and the Northerners at state level should develop innovative and industrial economies...not economies that export raw materials....that tomorrow when the price drops , our treasury would suddenly start looking empty.

China has a lot of people but a much slower birth rate (as a result of their state enforced policies), allowing their development to be felt by the people.

India has a lot of people but an unsustainable birth rate - any development that is taking place there will not be felt by the majority because no economy can grow to match such a birth rate.

A good economy needs equivalent social policies to be effective.

Defcon1:
Please, don't get me wrong.
Nobody is disputing the fact that the true essence of food is nutrition.
l was only trying to say that the attraction in food is more about aesthetics than taste.

There's a lot of well-presented food that tastes dreadful, to insist on that point is odd.

To many people outside of Africa some of the soups that Nigerians eat are not appealing to look at but they taste delicious.

Presentation is a factor in a restaurant and will have some relevance for children who can be shallow when it comes to food but taste and nutrition far trumps aesthetics.

Defcon1:
Honestly, food is more of aesthetics than taste
Oyibo sabi packaging.

Food is about nutrition, not aesthetics.

Taste is definitely important as well.

What a peculiar mind you have.


P.S.
These pictures were taken expressly for the purposes of the newspaper - the school food that the kids eat is presented very differently, most schools do not use prison trays for school meals.

xdos:
I lodged here for more than 2 months and d truth is dat d only fantastic tin they have is the building. They don't even have a gym facility let alone a swimming pool.
There food menu is very scanty and they don't do continental dishes. All they have on it are garri, rice, beans, swallow, yam and plantain. The hotel is nice for someone planning to stay for 1/2 days But if you are planning for a long stay then u may need to reconsider.
infact my first two months there was pretty terrible and this was due to terrible and untrained management staff. The receptionists were never smiling, always rude. Infact some of my friends had to move to another hotel because of that.
Now they have a new management who have listening ears. You talk to them and they listen to you and take action. They need to train their workers and also improve on their meals. They also need to build swimming pool and a gym facility atleast for them to attain a 3-star rating.
they need to also get their cinema working since there is no cinema in Yenegoa.

What are 'continental' dishes when you are in Africa? Are you talking about palava sauce? Tef with roasted lamb and sauce? Cous cous with roasted vegetables? Peanut stew?

I'm curious.

It's clear that there are a lot of people having children who should not be.

If you cannot take care of yourself you have no business having a child.

dokyOloye:
after him go do seize IBB's hilltop mansion,Thief'nubu's orient hotels,Abdulsalami's mansion,Atiku's,etc.
She deserves even more, at least oil well dey her backyard,unlike Ali baba and d 40 thieves from d desert.

I take your point that those in the region from which the wealth is created should benefit but that does not excuse public officials using the commonwealth for their own personal benefit, to a greater degree than other citizens.

In a just world all of the assets that you listed would be sold or used for the public benefit.

Tosinayoko:
point of correction, dey worship him in Nigeria. He is a GIANT

Show me those people that worship him outside of the south-west.

Thanks.

Chiaka:
y role model remains minister of health -Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu for
systematically helping to stop the spread of Ebola in Nigeria.
Nigeria will also be declared Polio free soonest. We need more people like him!!!

Nigeria would have been polio free many years ago were it not the common factor in most of Nigeria's problems.

JustCalMeDBoss:
When such type of person(Bola Ahmed tinubu) are the agents of change in a country you know that country is in soup. Now when such type of person publicly lambast anoda(buruji kashamu) to go ans their drug case in the USA when they are accuded of the same crime then you know it not change its the usual pot calling kettle black.

Only very foolish people believed that Tinubu has ever been an agent of change.

Buhari's reputation is equally undeserved.

The Nigerians who voted APC are in for a shock.

Old news, Nigerian reporters have been saying this for years.

Daily Beast are hardly a major publication - I wonder why none of the more popular websites reported this before the election?

bynat:
Wat about Arab Contractors?

Arab contractors do lousy work.

I agree with this list but I would like to add that the society places a very different burden on men than women which is why they are less likely to seek help and less likely to trust doctors. There is far more attention placed on female welfare than men's, by society - more drives for breast cancer than testicular cancer, for example; greater outrage when girls are kidnapped in the north east than when boys are slaughter or conscripted. Another point is that men tend to work more dangerous jobs and are thus several times more likely to die at work than women.

Socially it is more acceptable for a woman to act out or to talk excessively as a result of problems than it is for men. This leads to a bottling effect that causes greater stress.

The life expectancy gap for men and women is closing in western nations because women are being pushed towards traditionally male roles which has lead to them assuming some of the worst aspects of life - excessive drinking, greater risk taking, greater stress levels.

forgiveness:
why?

what about surulere?

Bode tomas, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Ogunlana Drive etcetera.

Surulere is ok to be honest, just a bit too crowded for me.

That's the problem with most of the Lagos mainland, it's overcrowded and the infrastructure suffers as a result.

onyi4edu:
Can someone help me tell these old men to just keep quiet and stop insulting grey hair! What happens to "there is great wisdom in silence"? Just keep quiet and watch events unfold, that's not too much to ask please

There is wisdom in silence but necessarily in old age.

If Nigerians did not know this before they should know it now.
