She's in her 30s, but the agenda can continue from here.. again, she has BSC in educational technology.

Madridguy na your wife be this?

I must commend madridguy for his consistently stupid comments on pressing national issues.

Softmirror:
Yes by being proactive.

Being proactive includes:

- Seeking reinforcements for the election day (more officers on ground)

-Doing a show of force exhibition around the state (full armed parade) to remind intending miscreants of what awaits them if they attempt to forment trouble on election day.

-strategic positioning of officers, armoured personnel carriers, weapons and police vehicles at all possible potential flashpoints to disuade any possible confrontation and for rapid response to any potential flashpoints on said date.

-swift and decisive action against formenfors of trouble on election day. This will inspire voter confidence and boost voter turnout. It will also encourage confidence in the election outcome.

helinues:
I support 100%

You are sick in the head

GoodLife4live:
Naa who go marry tis demon Now ?

I pity any man wey propose to you...

You are a very stupid fool for this comment.

FreeStuffsNG:
Government of Lagos State will never wake up one day to remove structures without prior notice. In fact, sometimes the multiple notices will last for weeks, months or years but people will be paying bribes to different corrupt people who will be giving them false hopes until the day LASG will remove the structures.

Some of you sound like people without parents.

Knowing the sensitivity of the location, why was this demolition not done at the weekend or at night!?

eldoradoxx:
My conclusion is that this is not a coincidence, that Nigeria was not refining petrol locally all this while was deliberately orchestrated by the criminal gangs in the oil and gas industry. How come immediately Dangote's refinery began refining crude locally, within three months all Government refineries that were hitherto moribund are beginning to produce? It was deliberate, they saw that removal of subsidy by Tinubu and Dangote's refinery coming into production had dealt a big blow on their cruel business against the Nigerian people including smuggling of subsidized Petroleum Products. I give kudo to Tinubu on this, if he had not removed subsidy, nothing would have happened, Dangote would never have agreed to go into production, NNPC refineries would never have also come on board. It is the beauty of deregulation we talked about.

Did Dangote start building his refinery after tpain assumed office?

SarakiBukola:
Obi is a useless political prostitute.

Ojukwu cursed him for leaving APGA.

Where else do you want him to join ? APC ?

Is APC anything but an association of criminals?

EponObi:
What f structure does Obi possess other than his rabid, idiotic followers called 0bidense?

Whatever you sha call them, they are his followers and form his structure.

At this point in time, I think I have to blame Peter Obi for still remaining in this madhouse called Labour Party where the leaders have been bought out and are shamelessly denigrating their own candidates to back APC and INEC.

Obi should have perfected plans already to pick a more honourable party platform to further his political aspirations and move with his entire structure. This his delay is giving rise to other parties stealing his obidients who are beginning to lose hope in Nigerian politics

Abeg which dstv channel dey show the match?

lexy2014:
but where you expecting the lady to accept the proposal just because of phone and wig? when will you guys learn that buying things for ladies is not the way to get them to love ad accept you?

why did he disgrace himslef by doing public proposal? could he not discuss marriage with the girl in private and save himself the embarrassment?

That's not the point. Phone and wig which he collected on the spot is a reflection on how serious he was about the girl because those items dont come cheap. For a guy to buy you that much it means he really likes you. My angst is at the slant of the write-up making the woman out to be a victim in the story when she was clearly a gold digger. Both parties got embarrassed that day: the guy because he was turned down and the girl because of the unplanned public proposal.

He believed he had found the one hence the proposal not knowing that he had only found a leech. imo he should be thankful that he dodged a bullet!

Gistmedia10:
A young woman was left heartbroken and humiliated after her boyfriend forcefully took back an iPhone 15 and wig he had gifted her. The couple, who had been out on a romantic outing, became the center of attention for a shocking reason.

The boyfriend suddenly kneeled down and proposed to his girlfriend, catching her completely off guard. The unexpected proposal quickly drew a crowd of onlookers who began cheering and urging her to say yes. However, to the surprise of everyone present, the young woman declined the proposal and walked away, visibly surprised.

The rejection did not sit well with the boyfriend, who, in a fit of anger, rushed after her and snatched the wig and iPhone 15 he had previously gifted her.



Is an iPhone and a wig now a prerequisite for marriage?

The writer of this post must be very stupidddd to be taking the side of the woman who rejected the guy after everything he had done for her.

thomasjoe:
Kindly remember that many people especially females are very manipulative and Selfish...They will do all to lead you on to their advantage ,collect all they can and still not share themselves with you . This is very common especially amongst single females .

I guess you now realize who the joke is on?

Well I guess the joke is on the girl because she was kicked out into the cold without transport fare and a replacement called in pronto

funkemary:
So the girl should just assume things in her head that this guy is interested in her without the guy saying anything of the sort just because he gives her stipends

Sheh you know the handwriting are written on the wall that this said guy only wanted her for the night and there is every possibility that it won't stop after one night. She is wise not to accept fling that has no direction

Then why did she go to the house when the guy clearly told her he wanted to cuddle? He didn't leave anything for the girl to assume. He told her what he wanted and she agreed!

It's like you don't understand the meaning of cuddle. The guy wanted romance ni! He wanted them to be lovey dovey in each others arms and the girl came! Is that not asking for trouble?

funkemary:
He invited me over and I accepted. Fine. Do you have to rub it on my face? Manner of approach matters a lot you know right. The fact that you are buoyant financially doesn't mean you should not checkmate how you approach people coz your intention may be right but I tell you this, your approach can make it look bad.

P.s I never supported her for not going with T.P and I wonder why you are not seeing what the guy did wrong. Are you saying you can even do worse?

meanwhile this is what you get when you are completely dependent. For me, I rather learn with peoples mistakes than wait until it gets to me

Happy Sunday

Any girl born even yesterday knows when a guy is interested in her.

If a guy invites you to come over and tells you he needs to cuddle and you don't get the 411 then you are certainly on a long thing.

As for the behaviour of the guy, he has the right to invite and eject whoever he likes from his house. If you don't want to be sexually assaulted you dont dine with the devil period. If you choose to do so with a long spoon, come prepared. The guy in question asked the girl to leave. He didn't force himself on her or beat her up.

flatROCKhead:
You messed up big time. No be by force na. You lose for futures trading but you still wan bleep. The girl was smart enough to know that you were going to fvckk the futures loss out of her. Na she send you work?

Why would you throw her out in the dark like that? You are the wicked and the selfish one. What if she fell into the trap of ritualists, rapistss and what have you? You are an evil being

Pls look for a way to apologize to her. If possible, make her happy by buying her stuff

You're joking right? If he feels like buying stuff, he should buy gifts and send to his parents who sacrificed to raise him or better still go to the nearest motherless babies home and invest!

If anything the girl should be the one apologising for leading him on! From the onset she should have clearly defined the rules of engagement and let the boy decide if he wanted to continue with this weird relationship/friendship thingy.

funkemary:
Where is the hypocrisy? Where is it coz I can't find any

Of course it's okay for the girl to receive gift(s) did he mention that she has been denying him material gift? Oh, i get you... The gift you are referring to is her body. You are not serious.

It's a gift remember she did not force him to extend his act of generosity so why forcefully ask her to pay back with her body?

You may be right in the sense that she isn't stupid to spend time alone with a guy but hey, she isn't stupid either to know that this guy only want her for the night and probably as a fling so she declined. I think she is a smart girl who know what she wants

So you as a babe if a guy that has been giving you gifts asks you to come to his house to 'cuddle' will you honestly go there not knowing what could happen? Why agree to go and cuddle someone from the opposite sex and not expect anything to happen if you are really smart? The worst part is that the girl went there and did not even go with her TP just in case something goes wrong? And you call her smart? Perhaps you are also as 'smart' as her! No free lunch anywhere my sister. If you think you've been smart all this while eating men's money and getting away with it, it's only a matter of time before the cock will come home to roost!

funkemary:
You are wrong and it doesn't speak well of you. Based on how you define she is just someone you assist with one thing or the other, no intimacy or whatever connection attached you now call her one day to cuddle and probably lay with her. Haba would you have succumb to it if it was to be you

Not all persons are cool with friends with benefits kind of thing. I'm glad your conscious took a better part. Please apologize for sending her out that late in the night

Lots of hypocrisy on display here.

It's ok for the girl to receive gifts from the guy but not vice versa?

Is the girl that stupid not to understand the poisoned chalice she was drinking from going to spend time alone with a guy in his house and accepting his gifts? Did she imagine the boy was father Christmas?

Shimran:
You're pained with Ramadan stuff severely like this? What of the rice shared by the southerners during Christmas?

Was it shared by state governments?

Good people kindly suggest FTA dedicated Nollywood channels and their frequencies to me.

Throwback:
Very good!

We don't spend dollars in Nigeria. Collect the naira equivalent and spend.

Why government will tolerate that rubbish is quite puzzling.

Nigeria is about the only foolish country that tolerate that nonsense. No sense of economic security.

Next is to ensure domiciliary accounts only get credited with foreign currencies from international transfer to cater for those who work rotations abroad or those who work remotely, and once the account is credited, any amount beyond a certain threshold should be converted to Naira, while whatever is left should be taxed at a monthly rate that ensures that the money is reduced to half of what was left as a foreign currency in the domiciliary account. That will help discourage any plan to retain forex as a means to store wealth in the domiciliary account

This double blow will ensure that those stockpiling forex cash do not have anywhere to offload it within the Nigerian economy.

All forex trading outside of the banking system should carry life imprisonment for economic treason.

I can vouch that 50% of all the forex trading going on in the past 6months, is not serving any economic purpose besides storing wealth.

Very very stupid comment! Is Forex a Nigerian business?

PortHarcourtcit:
Mr ITK, don't worry yourself everything is under control...

What was that for? No need to get angry 😂

PortHarcourtcit:
that's a means of developing those areas

Metro is supposed to be a MASS transit scheme. It is not intended for developing areas but as a veritable tool for traffic decongestion.

Siting a light rail project in less developed areas means that the project would be blighted with low patronage which would ultimately undermine the maintenance and successful operation of the project as a business as it would be blighted with heavy losses.

Procashtips:
Refer to what Neptu said.

This argument is not strong at all. If you have been long in this country, you wouldn't bring this up.

Take it from someone in the construction industry.

Most old houses hardly renovate or buy any major building materials. The argument is flawed

Haba sir you are being economical with the truth or perhaps you live in an area of Lagos where anything goes and people have no taste. Otherwise it is normal even in old houses for landlords to renovate same and rent out to new tenants. This is why we even have caution fee in the first place.

naptu2 feels he is the next best thing since the invention of bread and butter. He would quote encyclopedia Britannica to try and make a point but when you sift through all the big English and posts, there is little content.

These are the kinds of Pharisees Jesus rebuked in his days. People who are quick to quote law without thinking first that Sabbath was made for man and not the other way round.

Let him continue to bask in his delulu of grandeur.

In a sane clime, if Quilox wanted to do an open air event, they would apply for the necessary permits to do so. Upon application to the relevant govt agency eg LASEPA, same would deploy their officials to work with Quilox management to ensure success of same event whilst ensuring they don't constitute a public nuisance by deploying all the necessary logistics for a smooth functioning. These are things that are easy to coordinate when the communication lines between government and these businesses are open and cordial. It's just like saying that we are expecting the president to visit Lagos and there won't be advance notice or that the relevant govt agencies won't put in place the necessary logistics for smooth functioning of said event.

These things are not rocket science!

Basic123:
You just want to criticize.
Its a very easy thing to do..its cheap!

Like I said go and read what I wrote. The priority right now should be protecting people's businesses right now. Government and government agencies should have a human face.

Government in choosing to enforce the law can choose to be absolute or pro people. Imagine if all shops and even barbing saloons are evacuated from residential areas too. Schools and hospitals as well. You get my drift?

Basic123:
This is how you people fail exams!

The ministry of works is doing theirs,
The ministry of environment is doing theirs.
Should the ministry of environment stop working because the ministry of works has alot to do.

This is how will be discussing activities of ministry of education and you people will be asking "will that bring down the values of dollars?"

You people just criticize blindly and emotionally!

I'm sure sir that you can read. Go ahead and read all I have written beforehand.

Succinctly put I have advocated against destruction of people's properties and businesses because same are cited in residential areas.

I have also advocated for a need to tweak government approach towards these infractions with a view to prioritising keeping people's legitimate business afloat in this difficult economic climate whilst working with these units to address some of the environmental issues highlighted instead of the extreme of relocating businesses and destroying people's properties indiscriminately. When Buhari was in office, several times he wanted to remove subsidy but as a man of the people he knew doing it would make the people suffer. That's why he stayed action for so many years due to public outcry. He also set up social welfare programmes because he wanted his government to have a human face. He didn't get everything right but I think any responsible government should measure the impact of its actions on its people and devise ways to get the best solutions for all.

You are the one who will fail the exam because you just reacted emotively without taking time to understand what I've been talking about!

ps. Forget naptu2 he seems to believe that lasepa is an autonomous body that is not part of the organs of the LASG and as such should operate indiscriminately as they are not accountable to anybody but themselves. All ministries under the government whilst having different functions, work under a single corporate vision as defined by the governor. If the governor cares about the people and wants the best for them, this vision will guide their operations. If his goal is to maximise profit and not the public good, same would be reflected in their operations etc

naptu2:
One of the best examples of this problem is Quilox Night Club and you'll understand what is happening when I describe the problem to you.

The interior of the club is soundproof, you can't hear the music outside, yet Quilox causes massive problems every Christmas season.

The first time they held a 24 hour non-stop party. The party was held outside ! They not only disturbed the neighbourhood with their noise, but their customers parked their cars right on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, thereby causing massive traffic jams. They were walking right on the road early in the morning, I almost hit some of them.

It's like they were emboldened by that event and in 2019 they had a 48 hour non-stop party. It was reported that Governor Sanwo-Olu was stuck in the traffic that they created and his motorcade had to take another route.

I knew better than to take that route that day, after my experience the previous year, but I was following the events on Twitter. It trended across Nigeria because people that were stuck in traffic were complaining. Some people spent the night in that traffic.

LASTMA came to make the customers to move their vehicles, but they resisted. LASTMA then got police reinforcement and towed vehicles off the road. The police arrested people that resisted and took them to Maroko Police Station. LASEPA then came and shut down the club.

There was commotion at Maroko Police Station. Policemen said that Shina Peller (the owner of Quilox) came to attack them, so they arrested him. Shina Peller said that he went to bail his customers and the police arrested him.

There were still similar problems with Quilox in 2021 and 2022.

The government was better prepared last year (when Quilox held a 58 hour party) and they immediately went to shut the place down when complaints about the noise and illegal parking began.

This is a nightclub that has a soundproof hall!

That's the anyhowness that happens here and that's what government is trying to stop.

That's one way to look at it. People can choose to view a glass half filled with water as half full or half empty.

Wrt to the Quilox case. I asked someone a while back that if visitors and workers to the Dangote refinery caused a traffic blockage in the community where same was sited if LASG/LASEPA would consider shutting down the refinery, sealing it off or arresting Dangote? I'm sure they won't dare. Why then Quilox? Do you know how much Quilox pays yearly in taxes to LASG? Do you know how many staff Quilox employs?

Why not proactively work with Quilox to:
a. Ensure they secure a property nearby for costumers to park their vehicles. I hear that there is a primary school close by with a large expanse of land that can be used for this purpose.
b. Why should LASTMA wait for traffic jams before they come around? Knowing the proclivity of Lagos drivers to indiscriminate parking and traffic jams, why are officers not deployed ahead of time to ensure proper parking and free flow of traffic with defaulters apprehended tout suite? How is traffic and parking managed on the Lagos Ibadan expressway during RCCG and MFM mega programmes?

Are these measures too hard to implement? Will they not go along way towards resolving the issues raised?

You see what I mean about being proactive? A responsible government should be able to anticipate these issues and provide mitigants and work with the affected businesses to forestall such occurrences! Instead of always being reactive and quoting law after the fact!

Procashtips:
They won't demolish anything, they just want to use that to make owners evict these set of entities from their buildings.

Remember Nigerians only know force. If it's to demolish, how many will they demolish?

As for hike in rent, did they just build most of the houses that you're asking me to go to the market to price building materials?

Are the houses buying building materials daily to demand hike in rent?

I can understand new houses, but the old ones.

Rent hike didn't start now, it started a while back, just that old houses with no modem facilities have now joined without shame.

Let churches, mosques, clubhouses and businesses go and rent mails meant for businesses or build their own in designated areas
.

Bros be honest. You and I both know that building materials are used either in constructing new buildings or renovating older ones after old tenants vacate the property and before new tenants occupy same. Also as property values appreciate in neighbouring properties, landlords will increase their rent to reflect same as well as to reflect current economic realities.

Procashtips:
Demolish?

They said vacate so the properties can be used for the intended purpose.
Residential should be residential.

Apart from the unnecessary noise and other environmental issues they bring along, have you noticed that rent has gone up?

The demand for few available houses is just too much.

Churches, mosques, clubhouses and other businesses should move to areas designed for such activities and let residential environments remain so.

Let's for once be okay with doing the right thing and stop antagonizing everything!

You want your country to develop, when they decide to take decisions to that direction, you antagonize it again.

Shhh what exactly do you people want?

Read the original quote. Building owners are expected to vacate such occupants within 30days or such structures would be removed at owners expense.

As per increase in rent, guy let's be honest. Our inflation is officially approaching 30% and you expect rent pricing not to go up? Whenever you are less busy, take a stroll into the building materials market in your area and spend 30 minutes there comparing prices of items there 6 months ago to today's prices. Then come back and let's have this convo.

Thank you.
