NIGERIA IS FAILING AND FALLING-Comrade Agbonifo

@VONNEWS

Perturbed by the recent unsavory socio ecomic developments in Nigeria Nigeria, especially the deplorable and highly unacceptable security situation.

Nigeria's fast rising leadership critic and a National Coordinator of Speak Up Nigeria, SUN, an international society watch group poised to promote accountability and transparency in the governance of Nigeria for a better nation, Comrade Princess Agbonifo, recently declared that Nigeria is currently failing and falling.


Agbonifo who was cornered in Lagos by newsmen while returning from a trip, pointed at the spate of insecurity, hardship and the helplessness of govt as as clear indices.


Lamenting the rate at which the Fulani herders have saturated every part of Nigeria brandishing lethal weapons, unchecked by the official forces of Nigeria.

Agbonifo blasted that Nigeria is no doubt presently ruled by a govt that has lost grip of leadership and remains unwilling to accept that fact, situation she said has escalated pain, poverty, fear and hopelessness.

On the onslaught of the killer herdsmen in the south and west where kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, arson and sundry wanton destruction of lives and property have become the order.

She avered that if a govt in full control of the police and armed forces behaves unconcerned in the face of these hydra headed terror, then Nigerians and indeed the rest of the global community should hold this administration responsible if Nigeria falls into a nationwide hostility.

Adding that the deployment of military troops to Orlu in Imo state to scare those protecting the areas from the invasion of killers is as questionable as the disrespecful elongation of the tenure of the of the Inspector-General of Police of Nigeria, who masterminded and supervised the previous and present Lekki tollgate national shame.

Comrade Agbonifo fired further that the Speak Up Nigeria team has watched with pain as this dance of shame unfolds in Nigeria, and that the international body, headed by Ambassador Steve Nwose responded earlier with a petition to the United Nations for expected intervention in the interest of Nigerians, to augment the various massive protests held strategically across the globe.


She used this medium to call on the politicians preparing to contest for the presidency of Nigeria to jettison such ambitions and first seek ways to extinguish the raging inferno or be ready to share in the blame for the ruining of Nigeria.

Finally, she urged the Nigerian Youths to remain committed to their demand for a better Nigeria and advised all Nigerians to insist that this nation must be restructured.

MY DESIRE IS TO TACKLE NATIONAL PROBLEMS FROM THE GRASSROOTS-Hon.Oseni Ahmed

@VONNEWS


Chairman/ Managing Director -Tour de ville Nigeria Limited and Founder, Hope Of The Masses Foundation, Hon. Oseni Olajide Ahmed who is presently vying to become the next executive chairman of Igando/Ikotun LCDA, Alimosho, Lagos state, has declared his interest to ameliorate the socio economic plight of the people of Igando/Ikotun proceeding to higher leadership pedestals, by starting from the grassroot.


Speaking to Voiceout Nigeria News (VONN) recently in his Isheri Oshun residence, he pointed that his aim to use leadership to better the people can only materialise through the people's votes, stressing that the choice of the people will always prevail, the reason he said voter's orientation is necessary.


Oseni added that media communication to properly sensitise the grassroots people has become very essential now, and that no grassroots politician should be allowed to impose any candidate.

Affirming the need for intending leaders to first imbibe the culture of spending personal resources for charity, philanthropy and other social or community help projects before getting into office, he also noted that the act of giving is inherent in him and that if the good people of Igando/Ikotun eventually permits him to hold the mantle of leadership, his philanthropic prowess will translate into a service and people oriented leadership that will reflect on roads, healthcare, education, empowerment and general wellbeing of the people.


One time House of Representatives and House of Assembly contestant in Lagos, Hon.Oseni is not a new breed in the political terrain and is sure to make a difference, a feat he has already demonstrated through the provision of a drainage network in his community to curb erosion or flooding, using personal funds.

Advising the youths not to initiate another protest in Lagos which might be hijacked by hoodlums, he called on the people essentially to partake in the registration exercise of the All Progressives Congress in readiness to play their roles in choosing their leaders.

WICKEDNESS:
Lagos Landlord Sells House Strangely,Plunges Tenants And Buyer At War

@VONNEWS

Embattled will best describe the tenants of house 8,John Bamidele close , off Omo Oye Bus stop, Abaranje, Ikotun, Lagos, after their Landlord sold the building under a strange circumstance to a buyer who is bent on throwing the tenants out without notice.


Trouble began sometimes in November last year when the landlord suddenly introduced two women as caretakers who will thereafter manage the
accomodation on his behalf. The duo later came to the building in dispute with one Mr.Alatise who eventually claimed to be the new landlord and introduced one of the earlier introduced women as his wife.


The new buyer who wanted to quit the tenants within one month resorted to threat, harrassment and the use of dangerous thugs.


One of the tenants, Barr.Deji Obaderin who spoke to VONN, confessed how the buyer of their residence had at different points brought hoodlums and some people suspected to be members of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC to burst the septic tank open to generate suffocating stench so as to make tenants run. The use of charms in the compound at different intervals by Mr. Alatise isn't excluded too as all the tenants witnessed this.


According to Barr.Deji, the thugs even broke into some apartments to destroy various gadgets and items.


When all efforts to make the controversial buyer to follow due process in enforcing ejection proved abortive, Deji and his other troubled co tenants petitioned the police authorities at the Area M command concerning the injustice, and proceeded to write the DC Panti when they felt insecure about how the men and officers of Area M were handling the matter.

There was also an illegal construction by the new landlord in other to add new tenants to the already crowded building which made Lagos State building planning Agent to visit and placed an order to stop the building of illegal construction, they mentioned that the house also does not have a building plan.


The tenants later found that their former landlord sold the housedue to the loan he took from a bank. The tenants who are set to fight the matter in court and who want the intervention of well meaning Nigerians are presently dwelling in fear.

The worst happened on Sunday 31th of January 2021 at about 8am when the same man Alatishe and his wife who made them self lord over the people came with fully armed hoodlums to wreak havoc on the tenants. Their intention was to commit murder if not for God who at his mercy saved them and their children's lives, they couldn't save their belongings though, they were destroyed by these hoodlums.

MILITARY MADNESS:Army Major Invades Automobile Shop With Men,Beats Up Dealers,Customers,Seizes 2 Vehicles At Gunpoint

@VONNEWS

At a time when the Nigerian military is poised to reposition for global best practices, one of its own, Dirisu Ahmed, a Major, had recently tarnished the good name of the Nigerian Army by barbarically and lawlessly behaving untrained in Lagos.

 The unruly major had on 18 January,2021 ordered some Military Police men to go to a car port along the popular Lagos Badagry expressway, belonging to one Mr.Uzezi Ephraim, to go get a Toyota bus worth 4.5 million naira with the guise that their boss wanted to purchase it.

As instructed, the Military Police men in uniforms arrived the auto place and tricked Uzezi's boys to test-drive the bus while they also jumped into the vehicle.

While testing, the military officers directed them to head towards the Ojo Barracks , surprised, the auto dealers asked why and the officers retorted saying that their boss was to confirm the vehicle's efficiency.

 At a point of the road, the vehicle developed a mechanical fault and the officers angrily alighted and left, situation which forced the driver and colleague to reverse.

According to Uzezi,CEO of the car port, later that day, Major Dirisu stormed the car port with over six uniformed and unniformed officers, brandishing a pistol, threatened,beat up customers and workers, and eventually commanded his men to seize 2 camry cars of different models.
The lawless officers also forced Uzezi's workers, even customers into these cars and zoomed off.

VONN reporter gathered that the army officers also carted away vehicles' documents and keys belonging to other vehicles, Dirisu and his men also drove their captors to the Ojo barracks, precisely to the office of the provost.

 At the provost office, they were told that the action was due to a debt of 1.5 million naira owed Dirisu by one Festus who was his old schoolmate, whom he gave the sum to buy him a car, which he never did.
Mr.Uzezi and others were told that the vehicles will remain their until Dirisu gets his money from Festus. According to Uzezi, Major Dirisu merely paid a punitive expedition to his company and punished innocent people.

Speaking, Uzezi said, "Festus is a mere hustler who occasionally brought buyers to the car stand, he is not a staff or partner of mine . From all indications, he had a transaction with Dirisu a year before we ever met him."The debt has nothing to with Ephraim Motors"

Mr. Uzezi said that sequel to this development he had arrested Festus and taken him to two different police stations(Okoko and Isashi divisions), from where he was released after Dirisu refused to appear for Festus despite police invitations.
Further, Festus confessed to the debt and revealed that he has 500,000 naira to deposit to Dirisu as an instalment to repay his debt.
However, Uzezi said he has reported the matter to the MP office in Apapa and had sent a petition to Zone 2 police command, without Major Dirisu responding.
He therefore calls on relevant authorities to intervene to save him from the problem created by the continual seizure of the vehicles that belong to people who are already pressing for their vehicles.
 Uzezi stressed that Major Dirisu Ahmed serves in PortHarcourt according to disclossures from Festus.

COVID-19:
Nigerians Must Take Safety Measures Seriously

@Vonnews


Against the background of the health threats posed by the second wave of Corona virus, a renowned medical practitioner and Medical Director of Olidec Hospital in Lagos, Dr.Diogui Oliver has urged Nigerians to be mindful of the safety protocols of govt in order to escape the deadly scourge of covid 19.


Dr.Oliver who spoke during a crucial interraction with Voiceout Nigeria News yesterday stressed that the spate of the spread of the disease is intimidating, stressing that the rate of casualty in Nigeria compared to that of foreign lands is small.


He attributed the reduced number of victims to the temperate climate which is not conducive for the free spread of the virus and the possibility of a very strong immune system in some people.


Highlighting some of the symptoms of the virus as fever, sorethroat etc, Dr.Oliver pleaded with Nigerians to embrace the use of facemask and the regular use of sanitizers, warning that the dreaded virus can be transmitted through droplets of fluids from the mouth and nose, amongst others.

Moreso, he said that part of the reasons why people are proving fearless and careless is due to the fact that over the years, diseases like Malaria, chicken pox and others have ravaged Nigerians who lived under a poor healthcare system till their immune system became resistant to any of such ailments.

However he noted that the victims who had other sicknesses such as diabetis and kidney complications are not so lucky. On why the people are doubtful of the entire phenomenon, he asserted the non transparent activities of the govt and their agencies especially during the first wave, which is the major factor why people disbelieve and distrust the intentions of the govt towards combating covid 19.

Dr.Oliver also lamented about the situation where palliatives were hidden rather than shared.

He therefore called for improved education and the equipping of private facilities to expand the healthcare space for the needed attention for victims, urging that not all suspected or confirmed cases should be rushed to isolation centres where serious attention should be paid to people with complicated covid 19 cases.

Finally he advised stakeholders to stop spreading unnecessary panic, stating that the people should be made to know that there are deadlier diseases people should also be conscious of.

THE END OF THE MEETING OF THE GOVERNORS’ FORUM WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF MIYETTI-ALLAH CATTLE BREEDERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (MACBAN) AND THE HEADS OF SECURITY AGENCIES ON EMERGING SECURITY CHALLENGES IN THE SOUTH-WEST GEO-POLITICAL ZONE

@VONNEWS

The meeting held today 25th January 2021
Following the Executive Order of the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwaratim Odunayo Akeredolu SAN, to the Fulani Herdsmen illegaly occupying the State Forest Reserves to vacate within seven days With effect from Monday 18" January, 2021, the Nigeria Governors' Forum led by its Chairman, Dr. Kayode Fayemi met with the leadership of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), security agencies and other stakeholders on 25th January, 2021 at the International Centre for Culture and Events (DOME), Alagbaka, Akure, Ondo State to find lasting solutions to the incessant killings, kidnapping and crises between herdsmen and farmers in the Southwest geo-political zone of the country.

Meeting discussed vigorously and resolved that:

The security and welfare of the people of Nigeria is the primary purpose of Government as enshrined in the 1999 constitution of N igeria as amended.

The stakeholders are committed to the unity and indivisibility of Nigeria.

Insecurity is a national challenge and not peculiar to any tribe or region but must be addressed by the cooperation of all.

The order of the Ondo State Governor was misconstrued and misrepresented by a section of the media. He only ordered those occupying the Forest Reserves in Ondo State illegally to quit.

Criminals should be apprehended and punished, no matter their origin, class or status.

Security agencies have been trying to stem the tide of criminality in the country but must step up their efforts in the fight.

There is the need to build partnership for peace and security with MACBAN and jointly wage war against criminality.

No one had sent anyone away from any state or region but all hands must be on deck to fight criminality.

MACBAN is a peace loving, law abiding organization which does not habour or condone criminals and agreed that:

(i) Night grazing should be banned henceforth

(ii) Under age herding is Inimical to security and hence be banned

(iii) Occupation of State Forest Reserves illegally is condemned.

MACBAN also suffers insecurity and kidnapping and thus desire peaceful coexistence.

MACBAN is ready for any peaceful move by the states to engender security.

Fake news is another issue that makes our security worse than solving it.

There must be an enduring framework with MACBAN in a way that will help address security issues.

That free range grazing must be stopped to avoid conflicts between the farmers and the herders

Strengthening an alternative security arrangements and make them complementary to the mainstream security agencies in Nigeria.

MACBAN should embrace and be committed to modern breeding process by creating grazing reserves and practice ranching to prevent cattle roaming about.

Standing Committee comprising of farmers, MACBAN and the Government should be set up in each state (where they don't exist) to ensure synergy and result.

We must create economic opportunities for our people and reduce opportunities for criminalities in our country

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I woke up this morning with the pains caused by our leadership
Imagine leaders who can not take their time to do the right thing for their people.
As rich as they claim they are still stealing from the poor massively.
Think about the POWER sector, we pay bills without adequate supply.The prepaid meters are in short supply, and no one is calling anyone to order-PADDY PADDY GOVT.
The citizens are abandoned to face whatever decisions the powerful NEPA LORDS make.
What a place? It certainly means that the crazy deductions they make are all that matter. The masses get poorer, and their worlds get worse.



The law and the law enforcement agencies exist not for the oppressed, but for the oppressor.
The oppressors' children are in other countries enjoying the money their parents extorted from the poor. They will lock you up in jail if you ask for your right. God forbid this leaders!

It became worst with a government in place which cannot take care of the citizens and which forbids to do the right thing.
And if any opposition party stand to do the right thing they will kill that person or group, frustrating their political career with lies and frame up.
Please at this time let all of us say NO to all of them. It is even a big shame to see that the so called APC government who kept us in this present condition are still preaching to their oppressed to join and vote them inn again as the best. So annoying to see or hear them talking of APC.
Let all of us stop being used, let's tell them that we have stopped being fools.


Let no one be deceived by their lies because they will lie until they die. Let no one be carried away by their bribe because they are masters of bribery.
The aim of their manipulations is to push themselves in again in order to accomplish the remaining wickedness.

@VONNEWS

Comrade princess Agbonifo, member, speak up Nigeria group and publisher of voice out Nigeria news (VONN), rolled out the drums yesterday 25th Dec at the prestigious CY hotel and suites, Lagos to mark her birthday in pomp and pageantry.

At the birthday ceremony which attracted the creme - de - la - creme of the Nigerian society who came to celebrate with this dogged social crusader and critic, there were much to eat and drink even as she was showered with gifts amid ecstatic dancing and rejoicing by friends, associates and well wishers.

Journalists at the occasion seized the moment to corner the jubilant celebrant who readily entertained questions from the journalists.

After wishing all Nigerians a very merry Christmas, she specially extended devout greetings to Ambassador CY the M/D. CY hotel, 2nd admin the person of Naomi, staffs and board members of VONN.

Greetings to the man she referred to as her friend and boss,ambassador Steve Nwose, the fire - spitting convener of speak up Nigeria who is far away in United States.

Princess Agbonifo specifically described him as a man of integrity and a man with a large heart far charity, hailing him and indeed, all their efforts targetted at achieving a paradigm shift in leadership of Nigeria so as to herald a new dawn that will usher in the new Nigeria Long longed for.


Talking about the present Nigerian leadership, Agbonifo emphasised with pain that everything has gone haywire from top to the base, creating an atmosphere so vicious and unsupportive of living and businesses.


She therefore blamed the successive leaderships for consciously allowing things to go from bad to worse, until Nigeria has become a circle of doom.
Agbonifo Proceeded that the task to rebuild Nigeria is everybody's responsibility, but that the political will for such changes must be made available by the present leaders in the face of the rising insecurity and hardship confronting Nigerians.


Ending, she said, that the issue of instituting true federalism for a holistic socio - economic development of Nigeria is sacrosanct and non negotiable, thus that no one person or group should work against any process that could bring it to fruition; now that Nigeria is at a swim or sink era; warning that if the government fails to address the fundamental questions raised during the EndSARS Protest staged by the Nigerian Youth, then, a big palava awaits the nation in the shortest time to come.

TOUCH OF LOVE OUTREACH PARTNERS WITH BE INSPIRED NIGERIA TO EMPOWER AND CELEBRATE DESTITUTES AT XMAS.


@VONNEWS



A Non Governmental Organization, Touch of Love outreach has collaborated with a foremost humanitarian and developmental Organization, Be Inspired Nigeria, to show love to the inmates of the Center for Destitutes Empowerment Int'L, Idimu, Lagos State, to make Christmas exciting and their living, meaningful.


Be Inspired Nigeria visited the center over a month ago and decided to share the story of the destitutes and their handlers with Touch of love outreach; a situation which led to this glorious revisit.


This time the humanitarian synergy of these charitable groups resulted to the donation of Mattresses, cash gifts and the payment of tuition fees, owing to the fact that BIN took the list of these needs with them when they visited initially, and decided to share with Touch of Love outreach


Nneka Okechukwu (Ochiora), Coordinator of Be Inspired Nigeria, Ikotun annex, who presented the gifts and cut an Xmas cake on behalf of the groups, said that the visits will continue until the destitutes are brighter, happier and better. She also noted that the essence of the Christmas cake is to show love this special season.


A 300 level student of the Federal College of Education (SPECIAL), OYO State, Oleyede Opeyemi, who is a product of the center, and who had enjoyed free education love and care of the home for over 20 years, stressed that the uncommon love administered by the BIN and Touch of Love outreach is a huge source of motivation and encouragement which should be emulated, especially as the home needs expansion and development to accommodate those rejected and abandoned physically challenged people out there.


Custodian and President of the center pastor Samson Okoliko while appreciating the angelic Visitors, confessed that the gesture is one of its kind, considering the closeness of the visit and the great gift and love showered.


He therefore used the moment to enjoin other Nigerians to embark on charitable works and indulge in supporting homes and Orphanages scattered across the nation.

BOKO HARAM
NIGERIA MAY CONTINUE TO WASTE ECONOMIC RESOURCE, LOSE SOLDIERS IF........
SECURITY EXPERT.


@VONNEWS


Consummate security professional, Aleghe Sunnie has opined that unless the Nigeria government looks inward to dialogue with the forces of terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria, especially in the North East - the Nigerian soldiers may be going and never returning, and funds will continue to dissipate through that evil conduit channel.


Aleghe who granted a special audience to Voiceout Nigeria News (VONN) in Lagos, shortly after he was honored by the media as the most Prolific Security Icon of the year 2020 recently, noted with dismay, that the war against terrorism is far from abating due to the fact that the causes of the hydra - headed national security problem are rooted in extreme poverty, hopelessness and leadership abandonment.


In trying to proffer possible solutions, Aleghe advised that the FG must re - strategise to engage the local people in the troubled region in a huge dialogue aimed at finding a lasting panacea, mostly, to the economic problems confronting them, stressing that most of the youths enticed by the terrorist groups are teenagers who have been grossly impoverished and abandoned to accept anything, no matter how terminal a reason he said they became soft and easy tools for the manipulations of the terrorist.


On the general insecurity in the country, Aleghe said that Boko Haram apart, a big security challenge which stems from the kidnapping, armed robbery and banditry spheres stare Nigeria in the face, intimidatingly and constitute a worrisome burden for a government and a people already confronted with a myriad of economic and political hiccups.

He therefore urged the Nigeria Leadership to think in the direction of using dialogue, economic empowerment and other strategic resolution to arrest the unhealthy security situation.
Aleghe also significantly urged the FG to urgently read - design or reposition the security architecture of the Nigeria state with a view to giving a serious consideration to the issue of state Police, as practiced in Western climes; emphasising that the adoption of state Police will deeply harness the huge potential latent in community policing Initiative for the good of all.

On the major advantage of the state policing strategy, Aleghe said that the commissioner of police in every state will have autonomy to operate with the governors who are supposed to be the chief security officers of their states. This he said is better than the quasi security texture we feel presently where the bureaucratic process of waiting for an almighty IGP to dish others causes wanton delay and disaster when security issues require frenzied urgency.

AFTERMATH OF LEKKI SHOOTING

IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT. IS COVERING UP SOMETHING WHEN THEY THEY SHOULD APOLOGISE TO NIGERIANS.

@VONNEWS

US - based freedom crusader and entrepreneur, Ambassador Steve Nwose has described as shameful, all the antics of the Nigerian leadership, aimed at beclouding the world from the real aftermath of the Lekki saga; pointing that it is a humongous corruption to shy away from the truth when they should apologise to the people and indeed the world.

Nwose noted with chagrin during a recent online media chat, that it saddens and frustrates to see that the monumental efforts of the youths towards pursuing a real - modeling of the sociology - leadership structure of Nigeria is about to be swept under the carpet in the usual Nigeria tradition.

"I am glad that the youths were able to synergies and galvanise resources to stage a nationwide peaceful protest in demand for national sanity. But i am heart broken seeing that the very stiff ruling cabal are making concerted efforts to use the institutions to frustrate the move of the youths";Nwose lamented.

Emphasising that there is a serious dearth of capacity to democratically manage the Nigerian state by the current government, Nwose stated that it remains incomprehensible how a government marshalled the military to quash peaceful protesters when it was not an external aggression, saying that this leadership has lost public trust by the way it is going.

On the investigation panel handling the EndSARS - Lekki matters, he intoned that from all indications, the panel is not going to achieve anything meaningful as government is just buying time and seeking ways to shut everyone up.

Calling that the Nigerian people should be resilient about pursuing true federation, he assured that they in the diaspora community will never relent in tending voices to the matters that will liberate Nigerian from the grip of authocrats who parade in the garments, meant for democrats.

He maintained that for security to be actualised, the issue of state Police which is a component of true federalism must be adopted now.
Nwose therefore urged the Nigerian Media to be more vigorous and authoritative about reporting matters that would change and build a nation where every citizen would be proud and happy; highlighting that the media must sincerely play its watching roles as Nigeria presently stands.


Ending, he said that the media in the United States places the government on its toes to always do what is right, and that with this kind of political structure that Nigeria is running the nation will remain retrogressive.

As a group that believes in the progressive, tranquility, and integrity of our member, we called on all the people involved in the cheap blackmail of Hon. Jude Idimogu to desist from it, because account on the proceeding have been duly followed, with expository on how the transaction was made by Mr. Olu Davis, the Account bearer and Polychris Bdc ltd Mrs. Udoka Ezenamala which the court of competence found Hon.

IGBO STAKEHOLDERS UNITED FORUM, EZE NWACHUKWU AND OTHERS MEET WITH THE OSOLO OF ISOLO FOR PEACE IN LAGOS.

@VONNEWS


In order to forestall any outbreak of mayhem in Lagos State and the Southwest; The
Igbo stakeholders United forum, led by its Lagos chapter chairman, prince Nixon okwara, together with the Eze Ndigbo, okota, His highness, chief Nwachukwu and other representatives of the people of other tribes, met with the traditional ruler of Isolo kingdom in his palace yesterday 26th October 2020 over the flying internet threat which gave an ultimatum to Igbos to vacate Lagos following the recent violent protests by some hoodlums who destroyed property and lives.

The convergence which was chaired by the Osolo saw the various leaders which included the sarkin hausawa suing and calm in the face of the threat which was sent by an unauthorized citizen who merely usurped the social media to create unnecessary tension.

During the meeting, the Osolo in his very simplistic and down - to - earth nature, describe Isolo as a cosmopolitan land where their is an admixture of different Nigerians and Others from different parts of the world, living peacefully and pursuing legitimate businesses.

Condemning the unfortunate ultimatum and threat issued online by an element he described as insignificant and unknown; the Osolo assured all non - indigenes of the commitment of leaders of Isolo ,and indeed the entire state to ensuring continual peace and stability.
He also advised Nigerian youths to channel all protests constitutionally and eschew violence that will lead to loss of lives and destruction of property.

Speaking, the Lagos State chapter chairman of the Igbo stakeholders United forum, prince Nixon okwara, buttressed the need for unity, focus and love amongst people of the different nationalities, describing the Yorubas as the most hospitable people as far as the Nigerian nation is concerned, given the fact that their soil is open for anyone who desires to live and establish legitimate businesses in any part of the Southwest.

Okwara shared when he spoke with a minister in the federal capital Territory (FACT) and the minister declared that the investments in Abuja are mostly owned by the Igbos and people from other tribes, an indication that points to the ownership of the FCT by investment and property.

Condemning all forms of violence and destructions that hoodlums perpetrated in Lagos and beyond, okwara stressed that the Yorubas, the Igbos, the Hausas, Fulanis, Ijaws, Itshekiris, uhrobos, Egbiras, Tivs and all others that make up Nigeria are victims of bad leadership and governmental policies that now make people angry and restive.
He therefore appealed for uncommon love and understanding amongst citizens who should see each other as brothers and sisters who must unite to achieve a better world for themselves, pointing that it is foolishness and madness that make anyone suspect the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and others as their problems.

Advising the youths against attacking police officers and platforms, prince okwara noted that the policeman is like every suffering Nigerian who should be protected by law and other citizens.

His Highness, Eze NWACHUKWU said that the Leaking protesters were peaceful until the evil politicians visited them. He thanked the Osolo and called for total peace in the land ; pointing that there is no alternative to a good nation where citizens are happy.

A youth leader at the parley used the occasion to demand for the regulation of the use of the social media so that harbingers of trouble will not continue to have a field day there.

The general tone of the participants delved in the direction of peace and progress in Lagos State and beyond.

WAR AGAINST CRIME.

EJIGBO DIVISION RAGES ON TRIUMPHANTLY UNDER CSP OKUWOBI


@VONNEWS .

Last week, just like others past, was such that marked a conquest over criminals for the Ejigbo division as the police family harvested sundry criminals who committed deadly sexual crimes, amongst other successes.

The division headed by a workaholic and result- Oriented iron- Lady, CSP Okuwobi Olabisi, actually dealt deadly blows to the realm of rogues and plucked out some of the dangerous elements for onward prosecution, to cut, down societal tension and viciousness.

In one of the delighting onslaughts, the division is on the trail of some suspects who possibly gang-raped an 11-year old junior secondary School student , along the popular Ejigbo powerline , after nabbing the only suspect from the gory scene.
These evil elements actually raped the tender female to death.
Concerted investigations are presently ongoing, undertaken at the instance of this no-nonesense divisional head.

Similarly, a 19- year old gay young man who forcefully penetrated the anus of an 11-year old son of a hotelier is presently cooling off in police net as men of this division arrested him for this bestial act and coaxed him to confess to have been introduced to homosexuality way back in his hometown. The Ejigbo division, having arrested this criminal, transferred him to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, for further investigations.
What a havest of crime these are!
.
Meanwhile, all is set for the commissioning of the new office complex of this division by the commissioner of police Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu. Lagos State officials and dignitaries from different walks of life, are expected at this great occasion.

The new complex is another brainchild of the tireless and fearless-quite-educated Chief Superintendent of Police( CSP), Olabisi is raging and fast becoming the rave of the moment,as far as female police professionals in the Nigeria police are concerned.
CSP Okuwobi just would never stop putting the Ejigbo division in the kleighlight for positive reasons.
She is a go-getter and one leader who likes working in conducive places and ensures that others get the desired conduciveness.
Though workplace challenges or hurdles never deter or dispirit her due to her unstoppable nature!.

She noted that between 2014 when her son Osazuwa, had an unfortunate affairs with the teenager daughter of a politician who sent his political thugs who were mostly undergraduate cultists after him , die to his poor family background, strange attack have characterised her dwelling.

Mrs. Joseph emphasised that a time was when certain young men pushed her down from moving motorcycle which made her sustain several injuries; stressing that she has to relocate from the area for over one year before returning.
She therefore said that the spate attack began to gather momentum only a few weeks ago with an attack on her elders daughter who paid her a visit on weekend from her husband's place in portacourt; a reason made her conclude that if God had not guarded and guided her son Joseph to run away he would have been death and burried she cried

GROUP RALLY AGAINST VICES, HARDSHIP AND GOVT. INSENSITIVITY IN LAGOS

@VONNEWS

In order to press home it's demand for a better society where peace and prosperity reign, a group, the Ambassadors for Peace And Enlightenment Foundation and micro - Entrepreneurs of Nigeria (APEF), recently marched against human rights abuse, poverty and general hardship in Lagos; a protest March which took them through the streets of Lagos.

APEF which comprises of various professionals, such as journalists and lawyers have remained a strong Voice against all forms of injustice and Leadership, a misclemeanor since its inception organised this latest protest due to the heightening difficulty in Nigeria, especially Nigerians who are still enmeshed in the challenges imposed by the pandemic lockdown.

The president of APEF, Comrade Prince Saviour while addressing the media men during the protest said that the untold hardship caused by border closure, and the failure of govt to address the causes of suffering gave rise to the protest, stressing that Nigeria's inability to create an enabling environment where industries can grow for employment and the manufacturing of goods for export and local use has resulted to the increase in crime. Nigerians have to survive with a currency with little or no value.

Speaking further, he noted that the time for the masses to arise and stage a unified protest is now, when the cost of living is so biting, pointing that it is inexplicable and quite unacceptable that this administration has imposed more pain on citizenry by hiking petroleum and power tariffs, at a time when the pandemic has forced many firms to close down, and many out of job.

Emphasising the role APEF has played in economic empowerment, rights enlightenment and entrepreneural development, he asserted that APEF has been recognised by the Lagos State Ministry of Education which has already written the organization to be free to train schools on human rights.

Finally he urged government to look in the direction of the challenges emanating from border closure, and to see how opportunities for employment can be enhanced, especially through the agro sector which holds, numerous benefits economically, condemning the recent increase of the pump price of petrol, as well as the electricity tariff hike which they noted as signs of government insensitivity to the plights of the people.

ABSURDITY:

LUTH SUSTAINS MAN'S CAPTIVITY BY OBJECTING COURT ORDER FOR HIS RELEASE.

@VONNEWS

The protracted battle by the younger sister of Solomon Akukwe, Ngozi Adenuga, to secure his brother's discharge and/or release form the custody of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital-LUTH, after being dumped there by his lover, one Mariam Seidu, has taken a strange dimension, as the LUTH, rather than obey a court order from the Federal High Court, Lagos Judicial Division, to free him.

In a suit filed on 16th, July, 2020, Number FHC/L/CS/816/2020, the LUTH prayed the Court, presided over by the Judge, Hon.M.A.Ayetenu , to ignore the request of Ngozi Adenuga the release of Solomon Akukwe for alternative treatment and care, sequel to which the judge moved hearing to Oct 6th, 2020.

Recall that the ensuing matter between the Akukwes and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital was occasioned by the abandonment of Solomon Akukwe at the psychiatric wing of the LUTH by his lover, Mariam Seidu since the month of February,2020.

It is also worthy of note that the family of the now detained patient were not allowed access to their brother and son for strange reasons.

Ngozi Adenuga had however after several attempts and appeals for Solomon 'freedom,' told the public, through some media efforts, that the LUTH, through the agency. Of one professor Adeyemi ( a consultant ) Co-horts , instructed by Mariam Seidu, had seized her brother and siphoned millions of naira from his account.

She proceeded to alleged that rather than treatment, the LUTH delved into financial investigations by infiltrating, into the account by the patient by forcing him to the bank severally for strange reasons.

According to Ngozi, it was shocking to find that in a document attached to the bunch submitted to court by the LUTH , a letter was conveyed to the management of LUTH on 15th June, 2020, by the only recognised next of kin ( Mariam Seidu) the patient she took to be released precisely to his sister, Ngozi Adenuga. Her request was contained in the letter written on her behalf by her lawyer due to her ill-health.

Ngozi however expressed shock why the LUTH , seeing all these have sustained their detention of her only brother, subjecting him to inhuman treats and accessing his account at will, stating that Over 11 million ( Eleven million Naira) have been withdrawn from Solomon's (her brother's) account since his inception as a special patient at LUTH .

Describing professor Adeyemi, LUTH's consultant as a major accomplice in this gang up against the Akukwe's ,/ Ngozi stressed that his professorship, should be questioned due to his shaddy ways and his resolve to use his knowledge of the Akukwes as a tool to commit evil against their Son and the entire family, wondering how and why the LUTH management submitted family matters , matters, which included, the strenge murder of their mother and brother to the court,as part of the reason for the continuous sezure of Solomon Akukwe.

Ngozi remains shocked why the LUTH and co, became EFCC, ICPC, Nigeria Police and family Matters Advocates, all at the same time, just because they have an interest that the Federal High Court alone will soonest unravel when (Hon.M.A.Ayetenu resumes hearing in oct.

Due to multiple complaints emanating from quarters of displeased Ndigbo who worried how image of Ohaneze is being affected by the recalcitrant ousted Chief John,the elders council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State rose in reaction, having viewed for years,the unpleasant ways of John Uche and embarrassing impacts on the pan igbos body in Lagos State, especially as it is forging ahead beautifully under the presidency of Chief Solomon ogbonna(aguene) , took a huge step as Igbo patriotis and banished or excommunicated John Uche form all activities that concern Ohaneze.

The elders submitted that the leadership of Solomon ogbonna has given Ndigbo a clear voice in Lagos State that is personal touch to the lives of Ndigbo in Lagos Stated is presently second to none;that it is unnecessary to join issues bordering on blackmail and distraction by a set of disgruntled person(s).

In a communique issued by the elders council recently announcing the excommunication, Chief John Uche was described as a chief mischief maker who claimed to be the founder of Ohaneze Ndigbo Lagos State but was never;
He was also presented as one arstwhile chairman (not president) linked extortion indiscriminate installation of kingship/Eze in Lagos State embezzlement of Ohaneze funds, other questionable conducts, immorality, Atrocious - Abominable, unspeakable and Adulterous behavior with Ohaneze married woman; sabotage of Igbo agenda, among others.
