This David Hudeyen obsession with Tinubu makes me wonder if Tinubu fvcked his mother

Tinubu's chief of staff and also protocol officer are the ones who would take care of accomodations and logistics while in New York

Seyi Tinubu isn't a Government official, so he doesn't earn the $2000 estacode

Israel-Hamas war: Saudi Arabia summons emergency meeting of Islamic countries

Salman bin Abdulaziz, the ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has called for an emergency meeting of the member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

The OIC is the second largest organisation after the United Nations with a membership of 57 states spread over four continents. The organisation is the collective voice of the Muslim world.

According to a statement posted on OIC’s official website on Sunday, the meeting is slated for October 18 and 19, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The emergency meeting is called to discuss the ongoing conflict in the Gaza strip between Hamas and Israel.


“At the invitation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which chairs the current session of the Islamic Summit and the Executive Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the Organization’s Executive Committee is convening an urgent open-ended extraordinary meeting at the ministerial level, to address the escalating military situation in Gaza and its environs as well as the deteriorating conditions that endanger the lives of civilians and the overall security and stability of the region,” the statement reads.

“The extraordinary meeting of the Executive Committee of the OIC will take place on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at the General Secretariat headquarters in Jeddah Governorate.”

On October 7, Hamas launched an unprecedented and coordinated land, air and sea incursion of Israel which reportedly killed 1,300 Israelis.

According to Gaza’s health ministry, at least 1,900 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli retaliatory strikes, including 614 children and 370 women.

Nigeria has been a member of OIC since 1986.

Lagos govt seals hospital for transfusing unscreened blood into patients


The state Health Facilities Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) sealed the facility following a tip-off from a concerned citizen.

The Lagos State government has shut a private hospital at Ago-Okota in Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area for collecting and transfusing unscreened and unlabelled blood to unsuspecting patients.

Bodunrin Osikomaiya, the executive secretary of Lagos State Blood Transfusion Service (LSBTS), said this in a statement signed by Tunbosun Ogunbanwo, the state Ministry of Health’s spokesperson, on Sunday in Lagos.

Ms Osikomaiya said the LSBTS, in collaboration with the state Health Facilities Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA), sealed the facility following a tip-off from a concerned citizen.

“Following the tip-off, and after thorough investigations, the enforcement teams of LSBTS and HEFAMAA, during their joint monitoring exercise in the area, visited the facility and confirmed to be true the unwholesome, unprofessional, and unethical medical practices and conduct of the hospital management,” Ms Osikomaiya said.

She added that the facility was shut down for contravening the blood transfusion service law, for unethical and unprofessional medical practice, and for risking the lives of unsuspecting citizens.

“The law states that no person within Lagos state shall transfuse blood into a patient unless such blood has been screened, tested, labelled by the state blood transfusion committee, and found to be negative for all transmissible diseases including HIV I and II, Hepatitis B and C, Syphilis and any other disease as may be deemed necessary by LSBTS,” she said.

Ms Osikomaiya said the details of the blood donors and transfusion recipients had been retrieved from the hospital’s management.

She noted that patients who were transfused with the unscreened units of blood at the facility were being traced as part of the protocol to ascertain their clinical health status and ensure their safety.

Ms Osikomaiya stressed that the management of the hospital and workers found culpable in the unwholesome act would be prosecuted in accordance with appropriate laws.

She said the agency had rejigged its strategies in sanitising the state against unethical blood transfusion practices and continued to wage war against the unwholesome practice of transfusing unscreened blood in the state.

Ms Osikomaiya appealed to citizens to support the war against unwholesome blood transfusion services by reporting infractions and harmful practices when they see any.

She also implored health workers and stakeholders involved in the blood transfusion chain, including blood banks, blood donation centres, and logistics firms, to adhere strictly to WHO regulations and the state Blood Transfusion laws on blood donation, collection and transfusion.

No one will get preferential treatment in demolition exercise – Lagos govt

The Lagos State Government assured that it was committed to ensuring that justice and fairness were served equally in the ongoing demolition exercise


The Lagos State Government on Saturday insisted that it would not be selective in applying the law in the ongoing demolition of illegal structures at Lekki Phase II and environs.

The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who said this on Saturday in Lagos, assured that the state government was committed to ensuring that justice and fairness were served to all equally.

Mr Wahab, who was besieged by pleading occupants and owners of the fully built structures constructed on the drainage setbacks and already marked for demolition, said stopping the demolition exercise would amount to double standards.

The commissioner added that the demolished blocks of duplexes were on the same drainage setback alignment like the ones yet to be removed.

He said the state was irrevocably committed to reclaiming its drainage setback and restoring its master-plan.

Mr Wahab explained that it was sad that the government had to take a very difficult decision to pull down the fully built-up structures to reclaim the drainages setback for a free flow of stormwater in the area.

He said that the owners of the structures demolished in Ikota were aware that they contravened the law.

The commissioner said that the owners had different engagements with the ministry from 2020 when most of the structures were at foundation levels and several notices served.

“At Ikota, the level of encroachments is just unimaginable; people have built on the canal path and we resolved that these nuisances cannot be allowed to continue; it just had to stop,’’ he said.

He said that he had visited the Ikota site once again and personally met the owners of the structures yet to go down.

Mr Wahab advised homeowners to seek and obtain drainage approval alongside other approvals before embarking on their building projects to avert such a situation.

“This enforcement will be a continuous exercise; people cannot blame government for what they caused by their actions; whatever negative thing you do to the environment will come to haunt you eventually.’’

Market closure, reopening

Speaking on the closure and reopening of some major markets in the state, Mr Wahab said the markets were closed for defaulting the provision of the State Sanitation Laws.

He said that for any market to be closed, a checklist was handed to its executives to be fulfilled and once the conditions were met, the market would be reopened.

“You need to see the unsightly state and scene in the markets before closure and we cannot allow our people to trade food commodities and other items in a dirty and filthy environment,” he said.

He said the state government would be undertaking a safety audit in the markets through the safety commission to ensure the safety of lives of traders and patrons in market spaces.

Mr Wahab was accompanied on the tour by the Permanent Secretaries, Office of Drainage Services, Olalekan Shodeinde and Environmental Services, Gaji Omobolaji.

The team visited Osapa London and major housing estates in Ikota, Lekki County Estate and Victoria Garden City Estate. (NAN)
