Those people are unbelievable, so much hate on Oby because of her identity.

Now the crime is a balanced wazobia crime, they act deaf and dumb.

Oby is the one parading herself as a Saint and activist others are not even though they are all guilty of the same thing

SLAP44:
Seun, we all know the truth in this country but refuse to say it because of who's involved. There was no justification for attacks on Oby yesterday.

There is every justification to attack Oby

She is the one parading herself as a Saint

With heap of debt on the state neck...


Ogbeni Rauf really damage the treasury of the state

Ogbeni Rauf was the best Governor In the History of Osun State



You can not compare his infrastructure achievements with other past Governors in the state even though he failed in workers welfare

SLAP44:
This is the truth, the state has a uniform brown roof colour and that gives it the best uniformity.

Na praise I praise the state o

You will find different colours of roofs in Osun State


Those brown roofs were once shining silver colour roofs

Brown roof is the result of aging of Iron sheet


Igbo in Osun State alone are more than all the Yoruba you will ever find in South East and they are doing their businesses in Osun without any problems


Respect that instead of talking Bad about the state

Aregbesola really tried in Osun State in terms of Infrastructures his only failure was Workers welfare

happney65:
The poverty capital of the southwest..They are as poor as church rat

Poverty kee you there

Your brothers are in every corner of Osun State Pushing wheel Barrows and Hawking Garden eggs

In case you don't know Osun have the lowest poverty rate in Nigeria unlike Anambra that is a beggars colony

These people want to feed on Nigeria reserves by all means

Ekiti government has turned to Scammer in broad day light

Success1020:
Which women? Don't mistake 1-2 women with Fani and Davido with money to care care of them. No sensible Igbo woman will be with a lazy afonja.

It is very obvious you are the Lazy and frustrated one here


Blackmailing afonja because they are taking away your women

A Lazy Afonja is the second Richest Black man in the world right now while your wretched generation is no where to be found

You must have thought selling drugs and getting killed daily in Asia is what they call hardworking

Success1020:
Not pointless but a fact.

But your women can't wait to get married to their Lazy ass while you keep hating like a typical wretched soul

Another fact

Success1020:
I know you may not like what I will say but its the gospel truth, there no difference between South African men and Yoruba men....their women are the bread winners while the men lazy around hating on men working hard.

But your women can't wait to get married to their Lazy ass

A Yoruba is still the second Richest Black man in the world right now when your wretched generation is no where to be found

You think getting killed daily in Asia for drugs is what they call hardworking?

You are the Lazy and jealous ass hating on hardworking men

Stop arguing about what you don't know. Security agents in Lagos are entitled to 10M for permanent disability and life insurance. That's why they are committed to their jobs.

I am judging base on this Article


The government official that presented the Cheque to the deceased's family said it was for the fulfillment of Sanwo-Olu promises to the deceased's family not Insurance

Ikpeazukerosene:
It's from insurance which covers security agents in Lagos State. Only Lagos State has this, not even the Federal government has something like this in place.

Lagos is ahead of Nigeria, other states should emulate this.

It was not from Insurance



The person that presented the cheque to the family said it was to fulfilled the promise Sanwo-Olu made to the deceased's family

Some protesters on Tuesday stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly to express their displeasure over the killing of Nigerians in South Africa.

News Agency of Nigeria reports that the protesters stormed the gate of the assembly at about 6p.m.

The protesters carried placards with various inscriptions: “Stop the killing of innocent Nigerians in South Africa;” “MTN Nigeria, DSTV, Shoprite will not operate until the killings are stopped,” etc.


NAN reports that the violence gathered momentum on Sunday when a protest march against drug dealing by local residents at the centre of Johannesburg was blamed on immigrants and later degenerated into violence, with shops being attacked and looted.

The violence spread to the nearby city of Pretoria, where mobs attacked immigrant traders, workers and shopkeepers on Monday.

South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, condemned the violence on Tuesday and promised to discuss with ministers having responsibility for security.


The leader of the Lagos Assembly protesters, Allwell Ademola, said they had visited the Assembly to express their grievances over the “gruesome killings of innocent Nigerians in South Africa.”

Ademola, a popular Yoruba actress, urged the House of Assembly to come to the aid of Nigerians living in South Africa by stopping the killings.

While addressing the protesters, Mr Rotimi Olowo, representing Shomolu Constituency I, urged the protesters not to engage in destroying property owned by South Africans in Nigeria.


“We have thousands of Nigerians working in DSTV, MTN and some other South Africa companies, so if you destroy their property, it will surely affect the livelihoods of these Nigerians working for them.

“Let us follow due process in resolving this issue because we cannot use violence to resolve violence,” he said.

On his part, Mr. Temitope Adewale, representing Ifako Ijaye I, appealed to the protesters not to take laws into their hands, promising that the House would take urgent steps on the issue

Lagos State Government on Tuesday presented a N10 million cheque to the relations of a Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) official, Folashade Arogundade, killed by a truck on May 25.


Presenting the cheque to the husband, Mr. Tunde Babajide and her younger brother, Mr. Adekunle Arogundade, Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor on Transportation Mr. Oluwatoyin Fayinka said the donation was in fulfilment of the promises of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu when he paid a condolence visit to the bereaved family.

He said although the state and especially LASTMA missed the services of the late officer, who was respected by her colleagues, the gift was to show the governor’s commitment to the welfare of civil servants.

Fayinka urged the beneficiaries to utilise the money.

The SA said a cheque of N5million was written to cater for the education of the deceased’s 18-month-old baby.


He suggested that it should be deposited in an account to be jointly managed by the husband and a relation of the deceased.

A cheque of N3million was handed over to the deceased’s relation, while N2million cheque was given to the husband.

Permanent Secretary Ministry of Transportation Mr. Olawale Maroof Musa said the death of the LASTMA official was sad.



He added that as part of his commitment to the welfare of civil servants, Governor Sanwo-Olu had led a high-powered delegation to the bereaved family to commiserate with them.

Mr. Babajide thanked the governor for his magnanimity and LASTMA for the privilege his family has enjoyed.

He prayed God to guide the governor aright in the task of building a safe and prosperous state.

The deceased’s younger brother, Mr. Kunle Arogundade, who received a cheque of N3million on behalf of her family, thanked the governor for remembering the family in their period of grief. He prayed that such an unfortunate incident would not be recorded in the traffic agency again.

The Buhari administration may have found a silver bullet to shoot down the $9.6billion world record claim against Nigeria’s assets by Irish company Process and Industrial Development(P&ID).


According to reports, the rock-solid defence is contained in a UK law, that gives immunity to Sovereign states. Going by the law, P&ID should not even have dragged Nigeria to any arbitration or a commercial court, to try to milk Nigeria of hard-earned revenue.

But first of all, Nigeria intends to file a stay-of-execution of the judgment at the end of the month when the UK courts resume and has opted not to negotiate any deal with P&ID.

Thereafter, the government will file an appeal based on the extant law of the United Kingdom.

UK’s State Immunity Act 1978 (the Act) bars UK courts from confiscating assets of a foreign state without the consent of that state, gives it a leeway in the matter.

In an illuminating article on the law published in March this year, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP (the largest law firm in the world devoted solely to business litigation and arbitration, said the Act allows a written consent of a foreign state before the enforcement of a judgment which could lead to seizure of assets or freezing of accounts.

The article was titled “Sovereign Immunity in the United Kingdom—Lexology”

The law firm wrote: “Section 13 (2) of the Act provides that: (a) relief shall not be given against a State by way of injunction or order for specific performance or for the recovery of land or other property; and (b) the property of a State shall not be subject to any process for the enforcement of a judgment or arbitration award or, in an action in rem, for its arrest, detention or sale.


“Pursuant to section 13 of the Act, state assets ‘shall not be subject to any process for the enforcement of a judgment or arbitration award or, in an action in rem, for [their] arrest, detention or sale’ unless the state has provided its written consent (see, for example, Gold Reserve Inc v Venezuela [2016] EWHC 153 (Comm), finding that Venezuela had submitted to arbitration in writing by entering into a bilateral investment treaty (BIT) with Canada) or the assets in question are ‘in use or intended for use for commercial purposes’ (section 13(2)-(4)). These provisions apply in respect to states alone as defined in section 14 of the Act, and do not therefore extend to separate entities (see question 8 ) .

“This provision is subject to sections 13(3) and 13(4) of the Act. Pursuant to section 13(3), a state may provide written consent to the grant of any relief against it. It follows that a state may consent to the grant of interim or injunctive relief against it; however, the mere submission to the jurisdiction of the UK courts does not constitute such consent.”

According to The Nation, the decision by Nigeria to anchor its defence on this law, was taken at a meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa in Abuja this week.

It was attended by Finance, Budget and National Planning Minister Zainab Ahmed; Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami (SAN); Minister of Information Lai Mohammed; and Minister of State for Petroleum Timipre Sylva.

Others are Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs Festus Keyamo (SAN); Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Mele Kyari; Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu; and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele.

The Federal Government’s team, made up of many lawyers, met with an American lawyer alongside Mr. Bolaji Ayorinde (SAN), who has been central to the handling of the case with P&ID.

The Lagos State Government has acquired 84 hectares of land in Osogbo, Osun State, to cultivate crops and meet the food needs of residents.

The Commissioner for Agriculture, Gbolahan Lawal, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, noted that the farm would ensure food security for Lagosians.

“Lagos State, with a population in excess of 21 million people and a daily influx of people from diverse places, has a serious agricultural land constraint and being a coastal state, the available land for agriculture has been drastically reduced due to urbanisation,” the commissioner added.


He explained that the state government intended to build another abattoir along the Epe-Lekki corridor that would cater to the meat needs of people in that area of the state.

Lawal said he planned to build an agribusiness application that would not only monetise everything done in the ministry but also support the value chain platform.

“Some of the objectives of the app are that it will groom start-up entrepreneurs, small and medium enterprises, and agro-tech innovators, among others, in addition to promoting the establishment of agribusiness ventures through a vast pool of commercialised agro-technology from the research and development institutes,” he added.

Two scholars from the University of Lagos have attracted a total of €1200,000, pounds (N540 million) for research.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the grants were from the United Kingdom Research and Innovation Global Challenges Research Fund.

The scholars are Sunday Adebisi, Director, African Research Universities Alliance ARUA Centre of Excellence in Unemployment and Skills Development, and Timothy Nubi, a professor and the Director, Centre for Urbanisation and Habitable Cities.

Mr Adebisi secured the grant for Partnership, Research and Capacity Building for Youth Unemployment Solutions in Africa while Nubi got the grant for African Research Network for Urbanisation and Habitable Cities.


The duration of the research projects is 36 months – from September 1, 2019, to August 31, 2022.

NAN reports that the grants are for the development of integrated solutions that will maximise employment opportunities and enhance the future of work in Africa.

They are also to provide a strategic platform for developing research capacities in African institutions to address Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using a hub and spoke models that will increase collaboration among African teams from diverse disciplines.


They are also to be used to fund themed capacity-building workshops, PhD Colloquia in conferences and researcher exchange programmes that will promote mentoring as well as carry out scooping studies in research areas, specific to Africa’s urbanisation challenges.



Mr Adebisi told NAN on Saturday in Lagos that a major aim of the grant was to tackle the challenges of youth unemployment, using a stakeholder network approach involving academic research institutes and non-academic institutions with shared vision, interest, goals and objectives.


According to him, this will build significant research capacity across African universities as well as promote youth employment and skills development in African countries starting with universities in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt and South Africa.

He added that it would enhance the realisation of the SDGs.

“It will also provide sponsorship for academic training for seven doctoral students, six post-doctoral fellows as well as 15 faculty members distributed across African universities for capacity building in carrying out research on skills development for reducing youth unemployment in Africa.


“This grant will also be used to create a one-high performing hub that has the capacity to raise external funds, firm partnerships, explore entrepreneurial activities as well as attract excellent mentors worldwide and anchor research network across African universities toward youth skills development, in a bid to achieve the SDGs.


“We will also strive to hold international conferences, workshops and trainings that will be attended by not less than two hundred participants every year for the duration of the project,” he told NAN.


Mr Adebisi said the activities, under the ARUA Centre of Excellence, would be in collaboration with universities such as Coventry, Lancaster, University of Derby, University of Cape Town and universities of Ghana and Nairobi.

Ha keep deceiving yourself

Do you even know that Ibadan is almost the same size as Anambra state?

Which means every cities in Anambra is like some streets in Ibadan?


Ibadan alone is more developed than all South East cities


Well arguing with you is pointless


If your region is more developed then stop crying about how you are being marginalize and reduce the rate at which you flood to other regions

Goodbye

TundeBricklayer:
Ebonyi state

To be sincere South West is not your mate


Oyo state alone is almost the same size as the entire South East which means South West have a lot of work to do in terms of development more than South East but South West is still doing great regardless with the meagre resources



The whole South East is not Bigger than Oyo State

There are still Villages and Bushes everywhere

You have Oil and Gas and you also receives 4 times allocation more than Oyo State but still yet you are the one migrating in drove to other region

You call yourselves developers but you are still struggling to develop your region that is not bigger than Oyo State



This is ondo state
