The Federal Government has recently commenced a clampdown on illegal roadside dealers of cooking gas, originally known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas, LPG in Lagos and Abuja.

The government had in May, said it has commenced a policy to remove ownership of Liquefied Petroleum Gas cylinders from consumers, while dealers would be barred from refilling gas cylinders by the roadside and other unauthorized places.

The policy, the government said, would require that the ownership of the cylinders rests solely with the dealers and distributors.


Officers of the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, in conjunction with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, flagged off the enforcement in Abuja and environs, with the operations aimed at curbing the illegal activities of LPG retailers and skid operators, and five illegal operators were arrested.

Visiting Galadimawa, Lokogoma axis and other suburbs within the city, where the team clamped down on illegal operators found dispensing gas in very dangerous circumstances without the necessary safety precautions.


Head of Gas of the DPR, Engr. Umar Gwandu said most of the illegal outlets lacked basic and standard minimum requirements like fire extinguishers and detectors, water sprinkler, temperature gauge, pressure and volume gauge among others.

Speaking at one of the illegal outlets in Galadimawa, Gwandu said, “This place can easily explode if there is any spark. Even with a very tiny leakage, once there is a spark, this place is gone. We have come here several times as you can see from our seal. These people are not ready to comply. If there is any spark here this place can go up in flames in seconds.”


Some of the measures shared by the Department of Petroleum Resources include:

Replace instead of repairing a faulty cylinder. It is unsafe to repair a faulty gas cylinder.

Buy your gas cylinders from certified LPG plant.

Exchange of empty gas cylinders with a full one is best practice instead of refiling from another cylinder

If you are buying LPG cylinder, look for Nigerian Industrial Standard number on the body of the cylinder.

Gas cylinders are to be kept outside or in an open and well-ventilated area.

Other safety tips to keep in mind include,

6. Keep empty cylinders away from full ones, says SafetyandHealth magazine

7. The Liquefied Petroleum Gas Safety Association of Southern Africa advises that you test any gas appliance for possible leaks by spraying a soap-water solution on all connections. Leaks will show in the form of bubbles and must be repaired immediately

8. Do not use aerosols or flammable, cleaning liquids or sprays close to the heater

Ronaldo did not. That award was meant for Salah or Messi. I pick Messi.

In 2017/2018 Ronaldo was the highest goal scorer in Champions league, he scored more than Messi in the World Cup, Ronaldo scored more goals than Messi but they gave it to modric


They don't want Ronaldo to be ahead of Messi

chinos20:
But didn't you notice modric performance in the Champions league and world cup.

Ronaldo was also the highest goal scorer in champions league

Martinez39:
Check out Messi's stats and don't forget that he won the La liga. He had a good overall performance in the ucl and copa del rey. No player was better than Messi last season. His gameplay and techniques went to the highest level that no player, even Ronaldo, has attained. Free kicks, passing/assist, and shot accuracy were god level. Too bad he didn't win the ucl due to barca defence complacency in the second leg and he lost in the copa del rey final. Liverpool had the ucl and Van Dijk did great last season but Messi is far above Van Dijk.

I am a Ronaldo fan but I love the truth more than Ronaldo and we must give honour to whom it is due. That award belongs to Messi. Messi has worked hard, proved himself and must not be denied.

Ronaldo have better stats than Messi in 2017/2018 , won champions league and also the highest goal scorer but they gave it to Modric just because he did not win World cup

ChristianNorth:
Stop being lazy.

Use Google dude

ChristianNorth:
So yorubas love themselves and their moslems were busy massacring their Christians in Ilorin during the cross over services?

So, the North love themselves yet Fulanis don't marry hausa girls and confiscated all political position without even sharing ordinary LG Chairman?

They love themselves yet they are killing them in the name of BH, bandits, kidnapping while our sophisticated brothers mine each other's skull.

No major tribe can ever enjoy the cohesion Ndi Igbo have always have.

Not in a life time.

You are a Liar there was no where Muslims are massacring Christians during any cross over services

Just looking for a bad name to give even if it is a lie

Why is Nairaland acting funny?

goaldynboy:
Shame no dey catch you to yarn this opata?

Ibadan has suffered stunted growth and abandonment and you are here blabbing and foaming in your mouth like someone suffering epilepsy!

Ibadan is notorious as the worst town without toilet in Nigeria! You can only lie to people who hasn't been there!

Tell me that New York of 1940 still look same as today and I wil believe you!!

Ibadan is three times bigger than Lagos and all the old part can't just disappear in just a short period of time.

You will still find the old part of London

Every city in the world can't be like New York because I know you love worshiping your white masters

Onitsha and Aba is notorious as the dirtiest city in the world, Anambra is notorious as a state without toilet.

You can find all kind of roofs in Ibadan, so why are you not talking about the picture of Ibadan below with no brown roofs?

Even if Ibadan have no brown roofs you will still have something bad to say about it.

The Joke is on you because Nyamirin in Ibadan alone are more than all Yoruba in the East.

Stay in your Eldorado in the East and stop migrating like there is a war going on in the East.

goaldynboy:

Go and wear your goggles or wash your eyes!!

Does that picture of Florence look anything close and slummy as Ibadan?!

You are the one with no heritage whining about others heritage

The area view of both Ibadan and Florence look the same.

Are you not the one screaming brown roofs?

Is there no brown roofs in the area view of Florence?

The Joke is on you because Nyamirin In Ibadan city alone are more than all the Yoruba you will ever find in the Eastern region.

Stay in your New York city in Anambra and stop exporting hopeless wretched and nuisance people to other parts of the world.

These are the area view of both city and it is both brown.

tot:
Nice. Good job travelwaka. Unfortunately, Nigeria has refused to take tourism seriously. Countries like Turkey, Dubai, Greece are all making money for their economies from tourism.

The silly comments about brown roofs are quite ridiculous. These are things other countries would have turned around and packaged as a relic of the past. But Nigerians choose to wallow in ignorance and use it as a tribal slur. It's all your loss at the end of the day.

London still have some of their old ancient buildings still standing today

In country like Greece, Turkey and Italy etc you will find some cities still with the ancient touch like Ibadan.

Ibadan is almost the same size as Anambra and bigger than Lagos state 2 times.

There is old and new part of Ibadan and you can find the brown roofs only in the old part.

You can even find some pictures with different colors of roofs in the pictures above, it is something that should be cherish because it is Heritage of the city and what make the city unique.

This is picture of Florence a city in Italy looking like Ibadan, I wonder if Italians make jest of it too

Let them continue to wallow in their buffoonery

mungoparks:
Omg,see brown roofs.

It is part of what make the city great, beautiful and unique

ProudlyAfarmer:
Kukuma say you went to an ancient church in Ibadan...





BTW, what will it cost the government of Oyo State to wash all those 'BROWN ROOFS'?






THE IMAGE BELOW THOUGH...

There is nothing wrong with the brown roofs


Ibadan city is almost the same size as Anambra state and you can find all kind of roofs there as you can see in the pictures

The brown roofs is what make Ibadan unique and it is part of the history of Ibadan as an ancient city

You will still find many old buildings and ancient part of London till today

This is the area view of Florence a city in Italy looking like Ibadan

I love the scenery of this place


I wonder why all these Nyamirin keep screaming brown roof like they don't have brown roofs in their region or something

Ibadan is almost the same size as Anambra state, and you can find all kind of roofs there as you can see in above pictures, brown roofs is as a result of aging of iron sheet.


In London you will still find many old buildings and old part of London

This is the area view of Florence city In Italy, looking like Ibadan and it is part of what make the city unique.

It is not our fault that Nyamirin have no heritage

A top ranking official in the office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo speaks to Pulse on the recent fallout between Osinbajo and President Buhari.

A top ranking source in the office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo tells Pulse that all is well between the nation’s number two citizen and President Muhammadu Buhari.

For the better part of a fortnight, the Nigerian media space has been awash with tales of a fallout between Osinbajo and Buhari, especially after the president named an Economic Advisory Council (EAC); amid reports that Osinbajo has been ordered to seek Buhari's approvals to run agencies attached to his office.


Pulse had done a story on the entire development which you can read here.

However, an aide of the vice president who pleaded that his name be left out of this story tells Pulse that “Yes, the President in the exercise of his powers has formed a new Economic Advisory Council and replaced the Economic Management Team (EMT) which was led by the vice president. This is really a change in strategy and not a reduction of the statutory functions of the vice president.


“As the Chairman of the constitutionally created National Economic Council (NEC), the vice president will continue to play a leading role in economic matters in singular support and assistance of his principal, Mr. President. Only last Thursday the VP at the NEC meeting clarified that both NEC and the new EAC will interact.


“On the issue of agencies under the VP, the truth is that nothing is changing and there are no new directives. This is because nothing has gone wrong at all. A presidency statement already clarified this. All the other stuff you read are all lies!

Running the agencies, corruption allegations

When Pulse asked this aide if Osinbajo is still overseeing the affairs of the agencies assigned to his office he said, “Let us review some of the lies so far. That the new presidential directives have affected the VP’s Chairmanship of NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency), NDPHC (Niger Delta Power Holding Company)? It is a lie. In fact, on the same day NEC met last week, VP also presided over an NDPHC board meeting.”

There have also been reports bordering on corruption in the office of the vice president. This top aide tells Pulse that: “There are wild speculations on this, but they are all fabricated without exception.


“Specifically on the NEMA probe, the House of Representatives did not indict the VP. The report of the committee is in the public domain.

“The committee said the VP, then Acting President did not seek appropriations for the money he approved to deal with the impending famine in the North-east.


“But the presidency issued a public statement to say, no, the money the Ag President approved for release in those dire emergency situation was sourced from the Rice Levy which had already been appropriated in that year's budget. And that explanation settled the matter.

“Why is it coming out now again? Desperate elements who just want to confuse those who are gullible are behind all of this. Please be above such fake news.

“A new lie discovered is that some money was found in some private accounts related to the family of the VP family or that some FIRS (Federal Inland Revenue Service) funds were traced to the VP'S office and that Asiwaju Tinubu and Baba Akande were informed of some financial scandals or that Asiwaju himself is behind the attempt to smear the VP. All of these stories are pure lies.”


A cabal to be afraid of

Pulse has been told by various sources that the cabal in the villa is behind recent attempts to cut Osinbajo to size, whittle his powers, emasculate him and put him out of the 2023 presidency permutations.

The president's powerful Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, and his cousin Mamman Daura have been mentioned by almost all of our sources as the unseen hands behind Osinbajo's current travails. Kyari did not immediately respond to Pulse' inquiries on the subject.



When we brought the subject before our Aso Villa source, he said: “There is certainly a group of people within and outside government who want to attack the cordiality between the president and his constitutional deputy, the VP. So they are actively seeking to sow seeds of discord as some of them are afraid of what 2023 portends.”

Pulse will continue to bring you updates on this story as events unfold.

You are a Fulani man

I know you in this forum, you are a Fulani defender in this forum

The news is real!

Tinubu betrayed Abiola and was lobbying to be Abacha's VP

Tinubu betrayed AD and AC

Tinubu betrayed NADECO

Tinubu betrayed the SW when he supported Tambuwal as Speaker against a Yoruba woman

Tinubu ran a smear campaign against Fashola when Buhari wanted to make him VP and minister
.

Tinubu is currently attacking Ambode as I write and his online dogs are doing same to the Foransati led faction of Afenifere..

Tinubu is a greedy selfish bastard who has attacked and destroyed all Yoruba institutions .

The man is truly a bastard

All these "Tinubu betrayed and betrayed" rambling without any prove

Do you think it is that difficult for Tinubu to get any Political position?

The same Tinubu that you said betrayed South West brought the emergence of several Yoruba that are in several positions in this government.

This is politics dude, you and folks like you just keep displaying your political immaturity with your incoherent rambling and ranting of "betrayal".


It is lame, boring and annoying
