Nairaland / General / The School That Reeks Of Death by prettyG: 7:18am On Aug 05, 2013
Everyday, Mallam Yahaya goes to work at Government Secondary School, Mamudo, where he serves as the vice principal; to meet soldiers, a few teachers and no students. His life is a nightmare as he relives the massacre of twenty-two of his students and one teacher.

Every day, since that tragic day – July 6, 2013 – he goes to school and tries to clean up evidence of the massacre. Try as much as he can, the blood remains. The surviving students are too traumatised to resume; their parents are not sure they ever will.

Politics / Fuel Scarcity Hits Lagos As Petrol Stations Shut Down by prettyG: 8:55pm On Jul 02, 2013
A queue at a Conoil petrol station in Lagos, July 2, 2013


Motorists had stopped coming to this station


Many commuters may be stranded or forced to pay higher fares as petrol stations across Lagos State are observing a three-day warning strike by the National Union of Petroleum Employers of Nigeria (NUPENG).
Most of the filling stations visited along the Lagos-Ikorodu Road shut their gates as they refused to sell fuel to motorists.


The petrol attendants were idle while motorists waited outside in vain.


Our correspondent, who visited the FORTE Oil Petrol station at Onipanu, was informed that the station had fuel but could not sell due to the strike.

“We are a member of NUPENG so we are observing the three-day warning strike. We have fuel but we cannot sell due to the strike. We do not want NUPENG to victimise us by preventing petrol tanker drivers from supplying us fuel after the strike. They did it to us the last time and we do not want their problem again that’s why we are observing the strike,” the source identified as Quadri said.

Total, Conoil, Mobil, and Oando filling stations also did not open their gates, while some filling stations were observed to be selling fuel in the state.

A motorist, Hannah James, said, “I bought fuel at Mobil today. The queue was long but I’m happy they sold because my tank was empty.”

On July 1, NUPENG embarked on a three-day warning strike which called for filling stations nationwide to stop selling fuel until certain demands are met.

Nairaland / General / The Lives Of Lagos Security Guards - We Are In Trouble by prettyG: 11:16am On Jun 30, 2013
“I just manage this job because I have to pay for my education,’ he said. “N26,000 is not enough to cover for the type of risk I face daily. There was a time when armed robbers came here, and they hit me with a gun when I told them I did not know where the money was.”

Many security guards face similar risks ― but they earn even less.

Bassey Udor is one of them. He’s a guard at a hotel in Festac, Lagos, and earns only N10,000 a month. ”Normally my job is to open the gate for cars to come in and go out, but I want to leave this work soon: the pay is too small and the risk is too much because robbers usually target big hotels like our own,” he said.

Debe had sued Ojukwu Transport Limited, Joseph Ojukwu, Emmanuel Ojukwu, Lotanna Ojukwu, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Patricia Ojukwu before Justice Okon Abang.
