Lottery and sports betting industry has been described as a huge money spinning industry that records an average of N30billion transaction every month and can record far more transaction when fully harnessed. The disclosure was made by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lagos State Lottery Board, Lanre Gbajabiamila, who added that besides being a well regulated sector in the state, the industry has the potentials to generate hundreds of thousands of employment. Gbajabiamila spoke at a Sales Agents Reward ceremony organized by Golden Chance Lottery to reward its Sub-Agents. He explained that if optimally explored the industry was capable of creating hundreds of thousands of employment opportunities adding that the major challenge to achieving that was the wrong perception about the practice as being the same as gambling. He was represented at the event by Olawale Adalemo.

Qatari government has banned travellers
from Nigeria who have no valid certificate
of vaccination against Wild Polio Virus,
WPV.
At the weekend, many Qatar-bound
passengers were shell-shocked when they
were turned back to their respective countries
for not possessing valid proof of having
been vaccinated against the virus.
Only recently, the World Health
Organisation, WHO, declared polio as a
resurging public health emergency currently
ravaging 10 countries worldwide.
Although WHO mentioned Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Cameroon and Syria as
posing the greatest risk of exporting the
virus, Nigeria, which only last week
celebrated its first year without polio, was
curiously included on the list.
WHO said for urgent travel, at least, one
vaccine dose should be given before
departure, while all travellers are to obtain
certificates of vaccination.
As a result, the Department of State Services,
DSS, has drawn the attention of the Federal
Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, to
the fact that reports availed the service has
revealed that Qatari authorities have
resolved not to go back on its ban against
all Nigerian citizens travelling to Qatar
without valid certificate of vaccination
against polio. The ban, according to the DSS
took effect from June 29, 2015.
According to the report, the precautionary
measure is to guide against the spread of
the disease in that country.
Deputy Director and Chief Press Secretary in
the FCTA, Muhammad Hazat Sule, who
confirmed this in a statement yesterday
said in view of the above, Permanent
Secretary in the FCTA, Engineer John Obinna
Chukwu, has intimated stakeholders and
intending travellers, particularly those
resident in the FCT on the need to obtain
duly signed and stamped yellow book on
polio and other communicable diseases.
Chukwu said obtaining the yellow book on
polio and other communicable diseases is
very necessary to avoid embarrassment at
the port of entry into the country.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday dissociated itself from the ordeal faced by the former
spokesperson of the Department of State Services,
DSS, Marilyn Ogar, who was demoted and redeployed from the agency’s
headquarters to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
Her redeployment was, however, reversed following
public outcry from those, who believed that while
the
demotion may be justified, the redeployment to
Maiduguri, a hotbed
of Boko Haram, was punitive.
It would be recalled that Ogar had told
Channels Television last year that each time the
APC had an election, a spate of bombings
followed, stressing that, “It is not the first time
security forces are being deployed for election duties; we had provided security for election in Edo
and at the end
of that election, permit me to say, there was no
bomb blast.
“We moved to Ondo and the Labour Party won in
Ondo, there was bomb blast. We moved to
Anambra and APGA
won in Anambra, there was bomb blast. We
moved to Ekiti, PDP won in Ekiti, there was bomb
blast.
“We thank God that we were able to deploy
appropriately. The results have come out and the
APC has won and
thank God, there was no bomb blast.”
But speaking with Sunday Independent, its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, said Ogar and others whose
promotion were reversed knew their promotion did
not follow due process. He stressed that it was
why none of them had come forward to challenge the decision.
At the twilight of the Goodluck
Jonathan-led administration, Ogar and 28 others
were promoted from Grade Level 15 to 16 while 16
others moved to Grade Level 17 from 16. The
promotion rankled the agency as some officials
who were due for promotion were left out despite
being extremely qualified for the promotion.

The presidiot doesn't care about that. As long as Amaechi was one of those who bank rolled his campaign; He (Amaechi) is a sacred cow.

The man goes about blurting "I will pight kwarruption", While his closest men are all epitome of corruption.

Buhari is not just a dullardiinhoo, He's also a liardiinho.

'V Boot/ V Nyansh' Mercedes Benz 300 1990 This ride caught Naija by storm. Nigerians fell head over heels in love with it. It was majestic and a beaut in its time. The design at that time was unique and its nickname, ‘V boot’, was derived from the unique shape of its boot which was later made sexy with the pidgin term ‘V Nyansh’.

'Beast' Mercedes Benz 600 1995 This car was a huge monster that came out before most asian cars got into the bigness parade. It was never regarded as a regular car and was seen to eat up space. It was so massive and ugly it became rare and Nigerians just called it ‘the beast’.

'Muscle' Toyota Camry 2007 This car turned out to be a correction over the ‘Big for nothing’ because now all the bigness was put to good use; the car had curves that accentuated its beauty and gave it a distinct look; curves people referred to as ‘muscles’. Nigerians couldn’t resist calling this beauty the ‘Toyota Muscle’.

'Big for nothing' Toyota Camry 2004 The name probably came as a disdain registered by Nigerians at Toyota’s sudden decision to ‘fatten’ up the Camry again. This time it was so big and bogus that it was nobody seemed to see any use for its bigness.

'Millenium' Toyota Camry 1998 Suddenly Toyota must have thought it was time to slim down and introduced a slimmer model that became popular in Nigeria till today. The problem is, it didn’t have any distinctive nickname. The only name I ever gathered it was called was ‘Millenium’ because it came out in the year 2000; when we entered the millennium.

'Orobo' Toyota Camry 1992 This Toyota Camry probably marked the beginning of the ‘fattening up’ of the Camry range. Its longness and rotundness earned it the nickname ‘Orobo’ which is a Yoruba/pidgin lingo for ‘Fatso’.

'Anaconda/Evil Spirit' Honda Accord 2009 When this Honda came out last year, people were alarmed because it had one heck of a scary look when you first came across it, and it was BIG compared to its past models. It got its nickname from the look of its healamps which look as menacing as the notorious Anaconda snake of the amazon jungle. The evil look of the headlamps also gained it a second nickname of ‘Evil Spirit’.

‘End of Discussion’ Honda Accord 2003 It was the tagline of its Ad that made this car popular as well as its Iv-Tec engine. The Ad simply said – ‘The New Honda Accord. End of Discussion.’ People loved this ride and it caught on like wildfire. However, the nickname ‘Iv-Tech’ later took over the former.

‘Baby boy’ Honda Accord 1998 The circumstances surrounding this car’s nickname is quite funny. The car sort of became popular after it was spotted in John Singleton’s film titled ‘Baby boy’ which starred Tyrese Gibson in the lead role. Tyrese is seen cruising this Honda with cute alloys in many scenes in the movie.
my bro's latest sha

‘Bulldog’ Honda Accord 1995 This ride gained its nickname because of the way its back was shaped and the way it sat on the ground – like a bulldog.

‘Alla’ Honda Accord 1990 This was another favorite that continued where the 86’ model had left off. It was a heavy amongst the Hausas of northern Nigeria who were obsessed with it. This is how it came to be nicknamed ‘Alla’ because its supposedly said that when a Hausa man boasted about his Honda, he would go; ‘Na my Honda, Allah!’

‘Pure Water’ Honda Accord 1986 This dude became the people’s favorite among regular sedans in Nigeria. Each time someone thought of buying a car, this Honda was not far off from the consideration list. It became so common that Nigerians nicknamed it ‘Pure Water’ because sachet water was the most accessible commodity anywhere

Cars are amazing technological feats that litter
our roads round the world today. Every passing
year witnesses the debut of a new model or some
incredible modification on an existing model. But
I’m not here to examine car models or talk about
which is the newest innovation.
I’m here to talk about the funny names Nigerians
give these cars!
It’s amazing how some cars that have become
popular end up getting nicknames which are
usually as a result of situations surrounding them
or their looks.
I took some time to gather as much as I could on
the famous car models that were notorious for one
thing or the other way back then and presently
today.
The Honda series are usually very notorious for
getting names.
