BizBooks: Since Abdul Ningi's assertion that Boko Haram has killed more Muslims than Christians
has generated so much reaction, let me add the following: Boko Haram started attacking
churches in 2011 but they have been active in the north since 2009 especially after the
death of their leader. According to Wikipedia,



So if 700 people were killed in Maiduguri in 2009 alone, it is reasonable to assume that a
majority of them were Muslims.

Lagos plans strategy for Third Mainland Bridge repair
June 28, 2012 by Sesan Olufowobi 12 Comments

The Lagos State Government on Wednesday said it would ensure free flow of traffic during the repair of Third Mainland Bridge.

The repair is expected to commence on July 1 and end on November 6.

At a press conference, the Commissioners for Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Obafemi Hamzat; Transport, Kayode Opeifa; and Information and Strategy, Adeyemi Ibirogba insisted that the bridge would not be closed.

They said the government had agreed to a diversion of traffic on the bridge.

Opeifa said diversion on the bridge would occur between 12am and 12pm.

He said, “Between 00:00am and 12 noon, traffic will be diverted for those coming from Lagos Island to the Mainland. At Adeniji Adele, motorists are expected to divert to Carter Bridge and thereafter proceed to Iddo where the redistribution will take place.

“Inward Lagos Island traffic diversion will commence from 12 noon from Anthony Oworonshoki interchange.

“Some roads that were not available in 2008, when a similar repair on the bridge took place will be useful. Agege motor road is one of such roads and it will play a big role in the interchange activity.

“Also, the new Traffic FM, 96.1, will keep residents up to date with information about traffic situation.”

Hamzat, who gave more insight into the repair, appealed to residents for cooperation.

He said, “A bridge normally has expansion joint where it expands and contracts because of the weather.

“Eight joints that need repair have been identified. Three of them are on the inward Island lane while the rest are on the outward lane.

“When the bridge was constructed, it was designed as a county leaver.

“This means that there is a structure which two different structures hanging on it.

“The repair work that is about to be done on the joints is to straighten them to allow the joints to function properly.”

Ibirogba appealed to residents to be mindful of information on social network, adding that the government had put measures in place to keep residents informed about the repair.

* Jimmy Henchman Admits Involvement In Tupac Shooting

US authorities officially classified the death of Tupac as un-solved. In the past, several
people have been accused of involvement in the murder but the case still remains un-solved.

On the night of November 30, 1994, the day before the verdict in his sexual abuse trial was to be announced, Shakur was shot five times and robbed by two armed men in army fatigues after entering the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan. He would later accuse Sean Combs,[41]Andre Harrell, and Biggie Smalls—whom he saw after the shooting—of setting him up. Shakur also suspected his close friend and associate, Randy "Stretch" Walker, of being involved in the attack.

On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot four times in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was taken to the University Medical Center, where he died six days later.

The bureau claimed in a seven-paragraph affidavit supporting the charge, deposed to by Ikechi Iwuagwu, a deputy director, that “on 4th of March, 2003, before the expiration of the first term in office of Governor Bola Tinubu, an asset declaration form CCB-1 was sent to the accused person as a public officer. The accused person declared his assets and liabilities in the said form and returned the form to our office on 6th January, 2004. A copy of the said form is hereby attached and marked as Exhibit “A.”All the assets declared by the accused person are as indicated in the assets declaration from CCB-1. The accused person did not declare any other things/assets or the operation of several foreign bank accounts in the said assets declaration form CCB-1 submitted by the accused person marked as Exhibit A. I was informed by Mr. O. T. Olatigbe, counsel handling this matter, and I verily believe him that the accused person is still operating several foreign bank accounts which he did not declare before the Code of Conduct Bureau.”

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London,[1] and is generally extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower (officially known simply as Clock Tower) as well.

On 2 June 2012, The Daily Telegraph reported that 331 Members of Parliament, including senior members of all three main parties, supported a proposal to rename the Clock Tower to 'The Elizabeth Tower' in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.[14]
