PRESS RELEASE:

The Lagos State Government has announced that traffic will be restricted on Monday 23rd January with diversion on the Island on Tuesday 24th January, 2023 in preparation for the visit of Mr. President to Lagos State.

In a statement released by the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, the Commissioner, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde assured that alternative routes have been mapped out as well as the deployment of the State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA to manage Traffic flow during the 2 day visit.

Explaining the routes that would be manned by the LASTMA Personnel, the Commissioner stated that; on the First day which is Monday 23rd, movement around Lagos Rice Mill, Imota in Ikorodu, and the Lekki Deep Port Sea axis will be restricted.

While on the Second day which is Tuesday 24th, movement around Eko Hotels and Suites, Ahmadu Bello Way, J-Randle through to Broad Street and Outer Marina will be diverted from 6.00am to 3.00pm.

Pleading with Motorists for their cooperation, Oladeinde highlighted the alternative routes made available as options for Motorists depending on the desired destinations.

The options according to the movement plan will have Motorists diverted from Ahmadu Bello Way, Ademola Adetokunbo and Akin Adesola Street to Falomo Bridge (Five Cowries Bridge), to Alfred Rewane Road to connect their desired destinations.

While Motorists that are Onikan bound from Ozumba Mbadiwe and Bonny Camp are enjoined to make use of Falomo Bridge (Five Cowries Bridge) or Awolowo Road.

The Transport Commissioner further stated that Motorists from Awolowo Road heading to Onikan Roundabout, Tinubu Square or any other part of the inner Island will make use of Falomo Roundabout to link Alfred Rewane to further their journeys.

Another diversion option made available according to the statement is for Motorists from King George V Road to connect Moloney Street and then Obalende for their desired destinations, or alternatively link Turton Street through Moloney Street to Lewis and Sandgrouse Streets.

For the Motorists from Eko Bridge trying to link Marina, they will be diverted to Elegbata, Ebute Ero to Police Post to link the 3rd Mainland Bridge (Adeniji Adele) to further connect their desired destinations.

While stressing that all the adjourning Streets leading to the dedicated routes for the movement of Mr. President will be temporarily closed.

Komu1048:
You are the OP and the thread u created is what is pushed to fp

Komu1048:
I don't see why agbero is appropriate for what the op is referring to there. Why can't they use hooligans or one igbo word? With this narrative one can think it's to run a people that are causing issue there

To All My Teeming Supporters.

Earlier tonight, the National Publicity Secretaty of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announced the decision of the National Working Committee (NWC) of PDP, suspending me from the party.

I have since been inundated with telephone calls and messages from various persons, seeking my clarification on the matter.

Just like every other person, the decision and announcement of my purported suspension from the PDP came to me as a rude shock and huge surprise.

I was never at anytime notified of any petition or complaint against me or informed of the grounds that formed the decision of the NWC of the PDP to suspend me from the party.

I was not also invited to any meeting, proceeding or hearing of the NWC of the party where my supposed offence (s) was/were discussed. I was therefore, not afforded the opportunity to make representations on my behalf at any meeting where the proposal and decision to suspend me from the party was made. My right to fair hearing was consequently violated against the clear provisions of the Constitution of the party, especially in disciplinary proceedings. More importantly the Superior Constitution of the FRN.

I therefore, appeal to all of you to remain calm and law abiding, while we continue our campaign to a hopefully victorious conclusion. To God be the glory.

Nigerians keep bouncing back and forth


1) Government limits the number of political parties to two, or, much later, government prescribes stringent conditions that political associations must adhere to before they can be registered as political parties (you must have an office in every state capital, etc.)


Nigerians: This is undemocratic and unconstitutional. You cannot limit the number of political parties. The constitution guarantees freedom of association. Government is trying to prevent people that it doesn't like from creating political parties.

Gani took INEC to court and won.

********************

So INEC registers all the political associations as political parties. We have 90 political parties and 70 presidential candidates. There are 200 more associations waiting to be registered as political parties.


Nigerians: This is a joke! How can we have so many presidential candidates? What is INEC doing? They need to deregister some of these mushroom parties! It is a deliberate ploy by the government to divide votes!

---

2)

Nigerians: We cannot have politicians going to the polling booths with their police and military escorts. They will intimidate voters and election officials. Their security escorts will compromise the security officials on election duty.


Inspector general of police and chief of defence staff: No uniformed security official should follow any politician to the polling unit. We shall withdraw most of the police and military guards of politicians 24 hours before the election, to ensure that politicians cannot use them to affect the conduct of the election.


Nigerians: The government has withdrawn the security guards of governor ***** because they want to attack him during the election. Hold the federal government responsible if anything happens to governor *****. How can you withdraw a whole governor's security. That tells you that they want to rig the election.

---

3)

Nigerians: We need to do away with moneybag politicians. Moneybag politicians destroyed our democracy in the first and second republics. They become godfathers, determine what happens in the party and the people will have no say.


Babangida: Government will provide subventions to political parties to ensure that they are not dependent on any moneybag politicians.


Nigerians: If government provides subventions to the parties, then that means that the parties are no longer independent organisations. It means that they are now arms (slaves) of the government and dependent on government and will do whatever government wants.


Nigerians: Some people go into politics solely to get government subventions and not to serve the people.

INEC: We will limit government subventions to political parties that have won at least one election.


Nigerians: That means you are supporting strong parties against weak parties.

Also Nigerians: You are wasting tax payers' money. These politicians only create political parties in order to steal government subventions.

INEC: We will stop giving subventions.

Nigerians: Parties that control federal/state governments have an advantage because they have access to government funds. Why doesn't the government help smaller parties?

4)

Nigerians Why are our elections so militarised. There are armed policemen at every polling unit. This could scare voters away. You don't have armed policemen at polling units in the US and UK.


The electoral act is amended to ban armed security agents from being within a certain distance from polling units.

Heavily armed thugs attack polling units and the policemen at the polling units can't do anything because they are unarmed.

Nigerians: The politicians did this deliberately. They posted unarmed officers to the polling units so that their thugs can easily disrupt the process.

The IGP has stepped up NPF's ICT platforms for better service delivery. This is where the NPF Rescue Me App is being monitored. It's fully equipped and 24 hours powered, with no power outage or interruption in any way. Kudos. Ire oo

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, fdc today hosted INEC, all security agencies and political parties to identify grey areas and fine tune preparations for security before, during and after the elections.

The IGP met with the European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS today at the IGPs Conferment Hall, Force Headquarters Abuja. The meeting discussed many security issues and the electoral process in Nigeria. It was an avenue for the Police boss to roll out the achievements and efforts of the NPF and other security agencies towards a secure electoral process in 2023. We are optimistic that the 2023 general elections will be a success, free, fair, and credible. We can only appeal to those who are bent on creating chaos in the land,to sheath their swords, and embrace peace. I choose Peace!!!. Ire o.

Through Sara's story, I feel compelled to express how at the very least a team can support their player that's a mom.

1. Providing their own hotel room on away trips(yes we usually have roommates

2. Providing a hotel room for nanny/caregiver

3. Providing seats on the team flight for baby, caregiver.

4. Providing meals/per diem on the away trip for baby, caregiver.

5. Providing a suite/private space at the game for baby, caregiver.

This is the bottom line. There are so many more ways in which a club can support their players with children.

But again, this is the bare minimum from a club to a player.
