Kingpunter: Sad news for Olajumoke's fans as the model you know as lajumoke Orisaguna is no more! She now goes by the name Olajumoke Chris,
We are someone sure Chris is not her father's name but since she needed a male sounding name as a last name and also a trendy sounding name to go with her new brand she has chosen to be called, Olajumoke Chris for now.
You will recall that Olajumoke and her (now ex) husband ran into a rancour into who is the boss of their home and how Olajumoke has turned him into a house husband.

Funny how people think, when obj PDP made otedola the sole importer of diesel for a year nigeria, sold FG stake in AP to otedola nigeria was on track when he approved unified banking in nigeria that made Cecilia ibru erastus akinbgbola billionnaire's over night and made banks employ target marketing instead of bankers banking, nigeria was on track, when they did independent power plants without considering where gas to run these plants would come from nigeria was moving, $16b still not accounted for, when law makers were brazenly bribed by obj nigeria was on track, now they have decided to appropriate allowances to themselves increasing their take home by over 600% when they sold Nigerian sugar company, benue cement to dangote, Nigerian bags to dangote, when they did a sham and scammed nigerians instead and called it privatization of power, nigeria was moving, when gej PDP woke up without consultation and increased the pump price of fuel, nigeria was moving - when they did the malabu oil deal nigeria was on track when they did closed circuit Security cameras for Lagos and abuja and stole the whole money nigeria was moving, when genco and discos which use the same grid meaning u cannot' put up your own infrastructure and manage your distribution was sold by gej and an irrevocable Sale agreement which can only be renewed or declined was signed by the gej administration and till kingdom come we would never have power, because the constitution places it on the exclusive list instead of concurrent and you say nigeria was better, when we were paying subsidy for imported water nigeria was moving when pipeline vandals became custodian of our oil pipelines and billions was paid nigeria was moving, when we were importing garlic, salt matches, bread, pizza, Nigeria was on track, when we had the highest number of private jets and the least number of industries nigeria was on track, when small spare part sellers were buying forex from cbn through bureau de changes and selling it in the black market round 'tripping nigeria was doing fantastic bah, when we were doing TAM for all our refineries every 6 months and billions was shared Nigeria was moving, when intels was collecting all revenues accruing to nigeria at the sea port apapa and not remitting all this money to nigeria we were on track bah? If any of the above can be corrected in 10 years, and you claim everything APC has done would take 10yrs to clear then let God judge us all- if because today you are affected adversely by this govt policy then you have been an economic saboteur, because banks have repositioned and are posting fantastic profit, Nigerian breweries is selling more, rice pyramids are gradually replacing the ground nut' pyramids, we are recovering more from taxes, customs, jamb, npa, and our income from quick cash oyel is lower

asuustrike1: Do broadcasting houses especially government owned charge levy? Yes or No Do you pay levy in court? Yes or No
Govt media houses charge for buying minutes t'o advertise urself, that's why they are not a commission the court also charges for filing petitions but they are not income based only for sustaining because petty cash materials like paper and that's is why they are not a commission, FIRS - end service they provide a service and bring in revenue for govt NCS service they collect' taxes on govt behalf at ports IMS they collect move for passports issued on behalf of my govt they are not commissions
asuustrike1: Those fines are there to serve as deterrent measure to curb restlessness and carelessness of drivers. Yes part of government's revenue is fines; Federal Road Safety Commission is an agency of the government
Then they should be on the express monitoring crazy drivers overtaking anyhow, they should be at vulcanizer shops and tyre sellers stop to seize bad tyres finally their name should be changed to *service* and not a *commission* (a commission is meant to serve the people, a service to generate income and regulate)
Any motorist that violates any of the road traffic laws is expected to pay the penalties.
On federal roads in Nigeria, there are specific amounts that are paid as fines for the different traffic offences.
These fines and penalties are administered by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
The FRSC is the agency established with a mandate to reduce vehicular accidents on federal roads, educate motorists and pedestrians on traffic laws, clear any form of vehicular obstructions, etc.
The authority of the FRSC is restricted only to Federal roads and highways. That is, inter-state roads or federal government-built bridges or flyovers.
The FRSC has no statutory mandate, or authority, to operate or carry out its functions on State government constructed roads.
Now, here are 38 traffic offences and the fines issued to offenders.

Firstly, is the road safety an income generating agency? I thought the idea was to make our roads safe- well, as usual misplacement of establishment priorities, they should change the name to road safety service and not commission if they want to continue along this trajectory - if they implement all theses fines, all the commercial vehicles, buses taxi's, Keke, and motor cycles would all be off the road
actiondrilling: Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has inaugurated a six-man committee to see to the implementation of six new universities, colleges of education and polytechnics.
Prof. Chima Iwuchukwu will lead commissioners and other members of the committee.
But the move did not go down well with the governor-elect, Emeka Ihedioha, as he has written to the National Universities Commission (NUC) not to honour the approval of more universities in the state.
Okorocha said the House of Assembly backed the committee’s inauguration with a law.
He compared the move to about 15 universities established in Ogun State, which enhanced admission opportunities and job placements.
The proposed new schools include: Aboh Ngor University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences; University of Agriculture and Developmental Science, Umuagwo; University of Science and Technology, Onuimo; University of Creative Technology, Isiaku-Nkwerre; University of Medical Science, Ogboko, Ideato South; Marine University, Oguta; College of Health Technology; Mbonu Ojike Polytechnic, Arondizuogu; and Bishop Shanahan Polytechnic, Ahiara Mbaise.
Okorocha said the new institutions would be on 90 per cent private investors funding and 10 per cent government input, noting that government would handle infrastructure areas.
Meanwhile, medical doctors in health facilities owned by the state have commenced indefinite strike.
Chairman, Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in Imo, Kyrian Duruewuru, who briefed journalists in Owerri yesterday, accused the state government of treating the doctors unfairly.
He noted that the industrial action was to register their disaffection with the way Imo government under Okorocha had openly marginalised medical practitioners in the state.
The NMA chairman explained that the first phase of the strike would involve all doctors in Imo State University Teaching Hospital (IMSUTH), Orlu; Imo State Specialist Hospital, Umuguma; and the Hospital Management Board (HMB).
According to him, the second phase of the industrial action will involve all doctors in private hospitals and those in federal health centres in the state.
Duruewuru asserted that while their colleagues practising in other states were enjoying the adjusted salary structure for medical practitioners, Okorocha refused to implement it.
He said: “For the past four years, doctors in Imo have received 70 per cent of their salaries. Also, the doctors are being owed three months salaries by Imo government. For us, this highly unacceptable and very insensitive.”
PrettyCrystal: The two policemen who beat up and killed one Ogar Jombo, a two-star officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), in Abuja last month, have been dismissed and charged to court.
The Civil Defence officer died after he was assaulted by the two traffic wardens identified as TW GII Idoko Sunday and TW GII Katdel Dabit - for violating traffic rules.
The arraignment of the dismissed officer followed investigation, which indicted them for assault and excessive use of force on the deceased after his arrest.
A statement by the Force Spokesman, DCP Frank Mba in Abuja on Wednesday also noted forensic analysis by a pathologist as seen in the autopsy report clearly traced the cause of death to injuries inflicted on the deceased during his encounter with the traffic wardens.
Details of the update into the cause of death of Ogar read: “In keeping with the assurances by the Inspector General of Police, Ag. IGP Mohammed Adamu, to ensure a transparent, accountable, comprehensive and speedy investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the late ASC Ogar Jumbo, an Assistant Superintendent of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Nigeria Police have today arraigned in Court the two Traffic Wardens – TW GII Idoko Sunday and TW GII Katdel Dabit for complicity in the unfortunate death of the NSCDC Officer.
He also stated that the two traffic wardens have been remanded in Kuje Prisons pending the next adjournment of the case.

Onyemadonald: The House of Representatives of Nigeria on Tuesday rejected the Bill for an Act to establish the Chartered Institute of Forensic and Investigative Auditors of Nigeria (CIFIAN) for effective regulation, cerification and registration of members.
The audit bill which was sponsored by Hon. Uzoma Nkem-Abonta (PDP-Abia) and two other lawmakers also determines the knowledge, cerification and skills that a practitioner is required to attain in order to qualify to practice as a Forensic and Investigative Auditor. The bill, which passed first reading in the year 2018 at the senate, was rejected by the House for the conflicting role of the Chartered Institute of Forensic and Investigative Auditors of Nigeria with similar professional body such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN).
The Deputy Speaker, Mr. Lasun Yussuff, while contributing to the bill stated that since the word ‘audit’ was being contested, it could, for clarity purposes, be coined to read ‘forensic investigators’ or ‘experts’.
Hon. Yussuff went further to explain that the Bill could look like an exclusive accounting bill, but with his advice, it would be more encompassing for other fields. Nkem-Abonta said that the word ‘audit,’ was encompassing and could be used as investigation and the bill should not be rejected just because accountants don’t like it. He also noted that the bill, as it was, was not an exclusively accounting one, but all encompassing.
A reps Member, Hon. Simon Arabo (PDP-Kaduna), while contributing stated that if the word ‘auditor’ was the only contention, it could be expunged to accommodate the content. Hon. Kayode Oladele (APC-Ogun), said that since it had been discovered by the three-man committee set up by the Speaker that other countries had the proposed body, the Bill needed to be passed. Rep. Oladimeji Ayodele (PDP-Ekiti), said that if the proposed Bill was for the establishment of an association, it would be okay; but the fact that the proposed institute seeks to be chartered, then it was contradictory to laid down law.
Rep. Shehu Garba (APC-Kaduna), said that auditing was one responsibility strictly reserved for accountants and passing the proposed bill as it was would be creating confusion of agency roles in the minds of Nigerians. Also, Hon. Babangida Ibrahim (APC-Katsina), on his part, said that an auditor was a professional.
“So, the word ‘audit’ should be expunged. The way it is being applied in the proposed bill or the bill should not be passed. ”Nkem Abonta, in exercising his right of reply, said that the term ‘audit’ in the bill was just to investigate and did not seek to take anything away from the accounting profession.
The lawmakers unanimously declined passing the bill through second reading when it was put to a voice vote by the speaker, Hon. Yakubu Dogara
For the first time in their life, they did something, right - they still have to prune all the agencies of govt down - 1400 MDA's is a waste on our small resources that is not to talk about ministries O! Abeg wetin special duties dey do?
kayzat: I think it is the journalist that is trying to cause problem for Ambode. He only mentioned successive government without mentioning names but we all every states in Nigeria has one form of foreign debts or the other even before the creation of some states because the debts were shared as liabilities from the old state. Example is Oyo and Osun, Ondo and Ekiti etc
Truth be told he said it indirectly, but we all know who or possibly those, he was referring to- that apart, we have seen the massive infrastructure successive administration's did of which ambode refused to complete - he just decided it's bus-stops he wants to focus on
ikewaterwater: Three Policemen and four others, have been sentenced to death by the Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday over kidnapping in the state. The kidnappers identified as Cpl Emmanuel Charlie, Fidelis Emmanson Jeremiah, Cpl Bassey Sunday (377812), PC Mfon Bassey (478463), Ndu Okon Johnny, Unyime Edem Etukakpan, and Itohowo Godwin Akpakwa, were sentenced to death alongside the woman (Ekaette Edet Moses) they paid N50,000 to cook for the victim – Deaconess Ime Anietie Ekanem, while the ransom negotiation was on.The three police and fours others were sentenced to death over kidnapping by the court, which acted according to the state instituted Suit No HU/13c/2012 against 8 members of the gang in 2012.
The convicts who were found guilty of three-count charge of conspiracy to commit felony, kidnapping, aiding and sponsoring kidnapping, reportedly dragged out their victim out of the Toyota Sienna car driven by the husband, in front of the family house at about 6.30 PM and whisked her away in a Volvo Wagon Car to Afaha Udoeyop in Ibesikpo Asutan LGA where she was kept, under armed guards, in an isolated building pending agreement and payment of Ransom.
However after the anti-kidnapping unit of the state CID got involved as telephone negotiations between the kidnappers and the victim’s husband brought down the initial demand from more than twenty million naira (N20m) to about N1.8 million to be paid on 2 installments, they were shocked to discover that the first 2 persons who approached the Afaha Ibesikpo Market square, venue for the ransom delivery were their colleagues at the state CID.
The same police are the ones killing innocent Nigerian's extra judicially - and they are same people that, would refuse posting to borno sambisa O!

AutoJoshNG: The rainy season is just about kicking off.
Countries – especially those in the tropical region – that have witnessed severe cases of flooding due to heavy rainfall in recent years, are putting measures in place to avert such crisis from repeating itself.
For instance, in Kenya, the government is taking proactive steps to ensure that there are no flooding in city centers especially in big cities like Nairobi, Mombasa, etc.
There, the authorities are making concerted efforts to clear up blocked drainage systems. ahead of the rainy season.
Blocked drainage systems in cities can lead to flooding, a situation where water is diverted from the channels into roads, homes, etc.
Sadly, in Lagos state, a place prone to flooding, and also a place that is supremely notorious for blocked drainage systems, there has been absolutely nothing done to rid the drainage systems of refuse.
See photos of the clean-up exercise of drainage systems in cities in Kenya.
We do you think people wanted ambode out? He has destroyed all the work put down by BAT- and fash, by now the drains would be evacuated during BAT and fash's time, but this one- is doing nothing wasting $70m and $50m upandan

Okwyla: President Muhammadu Buhari has agreed to inaugurate Africa’s first mega bus terminal, Oshodi Transport Interchange before May 29, officials of the Lagos State Government have confirmed.
Besides, the president will equally unveil the 10-lane Oshodi-Murtala Mohammed International Airport road, another iconic transport infrastructure project the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode executed under two years.
The state’s cabinet-ranking officials disclosed the plan to inaugurate the two strategic transport projects purposely developed to serve at least one million commuters in the metropolis daily.
One of the state officials, who spoke with Akelicious in confidence, described the transport interchange, as the first of its kind in Africa, which he said, was similar to Victoria Terminus in London, the United Kingdom. At the time Ambode formally sealed the contract to construct the transport exchange at the height of economic meltdown in 2016, the project was then awarded at a whopping cost of $70 million Constructed purely by an indigenous construction firm, Planet Project Limited under the leaders of Mr. Biodun Otunola, the official said the transport interchange was a people-oriented project that would help at least one million residents commute easily daily.
He, specifically, compared the socio-economic value of the transport interchange with the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, which according to him, was designed to serve about 40,000 people daily. While the airport would only serve the elite, the official noted that the transport interchange was conceived “to reduce travel time on Lagos roads; unlock gridlocks associated with the megacity and help people commute without stress.
“That informed Ambode’s decision to construct other bus terminals – Ikeja Bus Terminal, Berger Bus Terminal, Yaba Bus Terminal, Oyigbo Bus Terminal and Race Cross Bus Terminal – to make Lagos function like other megacities in the developed world.
“This is the kind of project the governments at different level should invest in. The project will serve larger population and not just the elite. Ambode’s burden to relieve commuters’ pains of gridlocks informed the conception of the project.”
A statement from Planet Project Corporate Communication Office explained the rationale behind the transport interchange, which it said, was informed the peculiarity of Oshodi, West Africa’s busiest transport interchange in West Africa, with over 13 parks and 5,600 buses loading per day.
It said Oshodi “has over 100,000 passengers and 1 million pedestrians daily, with 76 percent of its land area dedicated to transport and related activities. This leads to serious traffic congestion and other environmental issues.
“Our concept seeks to transform Oshodi into a world-class Central Business District (CBD) with business, travel and leisure activities conducted in a serene, secure, clean, orderly and hygienic environment, comparable with other transport terminals around the world including Stratford and Victoria Bus Station in the United Kingdom.” The statement, therefore, said the transport interchange would consolidate all the 13 city and interstate bus parks into 3 multi-storey terminals, providing standard facilities including waiting area, loading bays, ticketing stands, drivers lounge, parking areas, rest rooms, accessible walkways and pedestrian sky-walks linking all the 3 terminals.
According to the statement, other components of the terminal include 20 lifts and escalators, two sky-walks connecting the terminals to each other, Architectural LED Lights, passenger concourse, public address systems, bus depot, passenger drop-off areas, taxi and car parks, passenger lounge for intercity commuters, loading bays, passenger information systems, etc.
It, also, explained the benefits of the transport interchange, which it said, ensure the reduction of the traffic congestion and chaos traditionally experienced at Oshodi with a reduction in the scattered and unruly transport activities, leading to a world-class excellent transport experience for commuters and an improvement in the standard of life of Lagos residents.
With the consolidation of all transport activities, the statement said a lot of the informal economic activities “will be brought into the tax-net of the State government and Oshodi would thus be rebranded as the new and iconic face of Lagos.
“With the ongoing pace of works, the project is billed to be completed this month, and operations commencing soon after. Commuters around Lagos can therefore look forward to having a comfortable, accessible and world-class transport system.”
See how stupid ambode is- he didn't complete the metro line- yet he spent this amount on an interchange - no value for money clean the place up and tar the axis- why waste hard earned resources on that spectacle, God would not forgive us for patting ambode on the back for doing something to change the aesthetics instead of what is functional and we can see the addition to the GDP and employment of many unemployed - especially with our poor maintenance culture- N21b for by pass interchange? - that would take the lagos light rail to almost conclusion - mass housing - to increase internal generated revenue and then increment in tax revenues to govt
yinka10: The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a new scheme that is targeted at creating employment for 60,000 Nigerians aged 18-25 years.

Mr Udoma said the new scheme is called the N-Power knowledge multi-track youth empowerment programme.

He put the value of the programme at N5,595,669,250 with a completion period of nine months.
Hmmm - APC my party - but on this one they should stop all this rubbish already - this is not the way to solve this issue* we can't continue to hide behind one finger and think social investment schemes is the answer to our problems - a social investment scheme is a social net - not a solution to a problem- if they want a solution I have many* let them contact me

8Ebisco: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday boycotted issuance of certificates of return by Independent Electoral Commission for what it blamed on ‘safety reasons’.

Since this akubundu took over she has been owing contractors for 3yrs - while the FG has released nothing less than 500m to the office, - she would come only when the fG release overhead expenditure funds like today - or if she hears they have release capital expenditure funds- she would bring all manners of vouchers and receipts for retirement of her "so-called" courtesy visits- (because she has the sgf in her pocket- if you report the matter, it would be thrown out, or they would quickly call her to attended to the matter- the man never see fine girl before) and bring all the umu ada's of her village and say she is doing a special program - steal all the money and go away again - she has stolen the office into redundancy and oblivion, she initially came with a routine of illegal staff to see if she could use them to siphon money - quote me anywhere the staff expenses have also been stolen- a staff was supposed to go for appendicitis operation the office was supposed to support the staff with N100k - she collected the money put receipt in the staff file and the poor man is walking around in pain
