Happy independence day!

IKORODU, LAGOS — September 2026 — LSG Investment Limited has launched a free monthly professional development initiative for real estate practitioners, aimed at promoting greater trust, competence and professionalism in the sector.
The initiative, known as the LSG Realtor’s Clinic, held its September edition at Golden Kharis Event Centre, beside Jendol Superstore, Kasholeri, Ikorodu, Lagos, under the theme, “Becoming the Realtor Clients Trust.”
The clinic brought together realtors and other real estate practitioners for a practical session focused on client relationships, professional conduct, personal branding and continuous learning.
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director/CEO of LSG Investment Limited, Builder Ridwan Olaitan, MNIOB, thanked participants for attending and announced that the Realtor’s Clinic will be held monthly on the last Tuesday of every month, free of charge to participants.
Olaitan said the initiative reflects LSG’s belief that improving access to homeownership must go hand in hand with developing professionals who can responsibly guide prospective homeowners.
“Our mission is not only to make owning a home accessible to every Nigerian, but to build real estate professionals who are trustworthy as well.”
He noted that realtors play an important role in helping clients navigate property decisions and that professionalism, knowledge and integrity are essential to building lasting confidence in the industry.
Building Realtors Clients Can Trust
Facilitating the session, Remilekun Soyege challenged realtors to shift their focus from simply closing transactions to understanding and solving their clients’ needs.
“Think like a problem-solver, not a commission chaser. Solve your client’s problem.”
Remilekun emphasised that trust is built through the everyday actions of a professional, including appearance, communication, active listening and a strong understanding of the property being represented.
She further highlighted the importance of personal branding, telling participants:
“Your brand is what people say when you are not in the room.”
The facilitator encouraged realtors to communicate effectively, listen more, understand their products and consistently improve their knowledge as the real estate industry continues to evolve.
Strengthening the Real Estate Ecosystem
The Realtor’s Clinic forms part of LSG Investment Limited’s broader commitment to strengthening the real estate ecosystem and supporting the people who connect prospective homeowners with property opportunities.
The company’s vision is “To build thriving communities where homeownership is within reach for everyone,” while its mission is “Redefining homes through purposeful, resilient, and enduring communities.”
According to LSG, achieving that vision requires more than developing properties. It also requires competent and trustworthy professionals who can help clients make informed decisions throughout their homeownership journey.
The September edition provided participants with an opportunity to learn, exchange experiences and discuss practical approaches to improving client relationships and professional practice.
LSG Investment Limited has confirmed that the Realtor’s Clinic will continue monthly on the last Tuesday of each month, with participation remaining free.

I passed through the newly reconstructed Ijebu ode-Epe road, and I love it! .... the approach of Ogun govt towards making its link roads to Lagos motorable and superb is a wonderful policy. The Ijebu ode - itoikin road should be touched too. Kudos Gov Dapo!

Very interesting post...kudos to the writer

Interesting.....Ola Oresanya, former LAWMA boss now OGWAMA boss. Nice! The guy piloted the enviable status of waste management in Lagos before Ambode removed him for the disastrous Visionscape. Round peg in a round hole and a plus for Ogun.

tribalistseun:
Does the road also link to Dangote refinery?

Yes, it actually connects to Dangote refinery through Epe via Lekki-Epe expressway (Eleko road)

I like this guy a lot...... very unassuming and humble, he just wants to make his state better. Just look at the scene of the meeting, no unnecessary serenren.

presidency:
By FEMI ADESINA

For many years, week after week, Shaka Momodu opens the sewers and pours vitriol on President Muhammadu Buhari on the back page of THISDAY Newspapers. We ignore him, reasoning that when a mind is diseased, there is hardly much you can do to point such soul to decency. It remains impervious to anything not from the very nether region of hell.

However, on Friday, January 10, 2020, Shaka Momodu overreached even himself in hatred and deviousness by his piece with the headline, The General is Divider-in-Chief. Yes, you know who he was talking about. He usually has no other topic than President Buhari, whom he takes delight in using the foulest language against. Foul language is often evidence of poor breeding.

In the build-up to general elections last year, Momodu embarked on a crusade, urging all and sundry to vote out President Buhari. And what did he, and his cohorts, get at the end of the day? A shellacking, drubbing that left them reeling in shock. But rather than wake to reality that he is among the tiniest of minority voices in the country, the columnist rather gets worse by the day. He still stubbornly waves a flag that is perpetually limp, not even at half-mast.

In the very repetitive January 10 verbiage, the columnist, who curiously is also an editor with THISDAY, demonstrated that hatred for President Buhari was deeply embedded in his bones. He dug up, and kept repeating long-discredited narratives, parading them as truths, to attain his jaundiced purpose.

Hear one thing he kept repeating like a broken gramophone record in the piece: “He declared from the outset of his regime that he would pursue a policy of 97 percent and 5 percent and proceeded to implement his regime’s policies and appointments on that basis.”

Thick skulls and sick minds keep repeating a falsehood, even when their follies have been repeatedly pointed out. The columnist was referring to what the President said in the early days of his administration, as he met with Nigerians in Washington, United States of America. He said in rewarding those who voted for you in any election, it stood to reason that those who gave 97 percent of votes should get more positions than those who gave 5 percent. But he ended by submitting: “The Constitution forbids me from such, and I won’t do so.”

What did perennial haters do to that speech? They took the earlier part only, cut off the conclusion, and began to trumpet it on all media of mass communication. We explained the true position, but since it didn’t favor their narrative, they refused to listen. It is amazing that an editor and columnist is among those still advancing the jaundiced position after much explanations. See what hatred can do to a man!

Another falsehood, talking of President Buhari: “He so defended Boko Haram that it nominated him as one of its negotiators with the Jonathan government.” But that is just a tiny part of the story. When that purported nomination came from Boko Haram, it was seen clearly for what it was. An attempt to cleverly demonize the then General Buhari by the government of the day, who saw the Daura born General as the greatest obstacle to its continuation in office. Buhari denounced the nomination, and said he had nothing to do with Boko Haram. Why did Momodu leave out that part of the story, if mischief was not at play? Hatred addles the mind, and makes people lose all sense of reasoning.

If Gen Buhari was to be Boko Haram negotiator, why did the same group attempt to terminate his life in Kaduna in July 2014, leading to loss of many lives? Except maybe it was not Boko Haram…

And the columnist gave himself out again when he posited: “For those who have chosen to forget, the support of people like Buhari, the Borno Elders’ Forum, the Northern intelligentsia, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) made it difficult to defeat the group… Boko Haram is what it is today because it had a big supporter in Buhari and his party, the APC.”

Ah ha. This is about hatred for a man, a section of the country, the North, and a political party. Can we rightly say then that Shaka Momodu is one of those who miss the wheeling-dealing days of the People’s Democratic Party? Well, those days are gone, and a new order is here. You may resent and deride the new order, but here it is. And it is laying a new foundation for our country, giving the people a future and a hope.

The bilious article was written based on a statement issued by the Presidency, after 11 people were executed in December by Boko Haram. Momodu said they were of the Christian faith. Does it really matter which faith they belonged to, except to somebody who wants to divide Nigerians further? Long ago, it has been established that Boko Haram is not about religion, but sheer evil and anarchy. They kill Muslims (even possibly more than adherents of other religions); kill Christians, animists, and anyone they can lay their hands on. It is not about religion, except to columnists with convoluted minds.

He alleges that “useful idiots” foisted Buhari on Nigeria. Fifteen million voters are idiots, while Momodu and his ilk are the only wise ones. Good luck to them. Before the elections last year, we told them that Buhari would give them a whacking. They didn’t believe. Now, they are still licking their wounds. The pains would endure till 2023, God willing.

There is something about believing, and chronic unbelief. Those of us who believe in Buhari will follow him from Cape to Cairo, while those who don’t believe are welcome to their unbelief. Momodu is in the latter group. How do I know? He gave himself out again: “I scoff at his speeches and preaching of peace each time I come across them and turn away in perplexing bewilderment at how successfully he has managed to fool so many people.”

Once you have resolved not to believe a man, and “scoff at his speeches,” you are really beyond redemption. Chronic unbeliever! Right is the man who said to those who believe, no explanation is necessary, and to those who don’t believe, no explanation is possible. Shaka Momodu is obviously in the latter group.

At the end of 2017, the Presidency released a comprehensive list of all appointments made since 2015. It was very revealing. Ogun State had the highest of 21 positions, Imo and Kano followed with 15 each, Edo and Katsina (the President’s home state) had 14 each, Ebonyi and Abia, two each, Kebbi, three, while Zamfara, Sokoto, Oyo, Enugu, Ekiti, and Akwa Ibom, had four each. Yet, the cry then was still about lopsided appointments, till statistics put the lie to it. More than two years later, Momodu still repeats the same hollow lie: “His high profile appointments to strategic national parastatals are so lopsidedly in favor of his tribal/ethnic/religious stock almost to the total exclusion of other parts of the country.” God, give us journalists that are not blinded by hate, those who won’t attempt to feed the populace with noxious substances in the name of information.

To the columnist in question, all is fair in love and war, including lies. The Hate Speech Bill, he says is promoted by President Buhari, “to now gag us.” Lie! The President has nothing to do with the Bill, and it has been said repeatedly. Even the lawmaker promoting the Bill has said so. But when you are Hater-in-Chief, reason flees.

All attempts to bring amity between farmers and herdsmen in the country, Momodu describes as land grabbing gambits. He seems to prefer that the bloodletting should continue, thinking it would discredit Buhari. It’s like swallowing poison, and thinking it would kill your neighbor. Issorait (as it’s said in local lingo).

Let’s leave Shaka, who usually attempts to treat the President shakashaka (Yoruba word for treating someone like what the cat dragged in), and go attend to more serious things. We simply commend to him the words of William Shakespeare: “Love me or hate me, both are in my favor. If you love me, I’ll always be in your heart… If you hate me, I’ll always be in your mind.”

• Adesina is Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity

God forbids I read any of his shakashaka column again, I really thought he was one of the “reasonable fellas” until it was obvious he is just looking for the next meal.

There is actually a movie series about him, telling his story shortly after Pablo’s death.....too bad I can’t recollect the name again but it’s in Spanish and subtled to English

This is big project and kudos to the Lasg...


BTW.. I have affordable and secure lands not too far from the project in Imota . 250k per plot. Dry land. contact on 08026042556 or mail leshocreations@gmail.com

You all crazy, I swear it!! ����

I am not cursing you; I am wishing you what I wish myself every year. I therefore repeat, may you have a hard time this year, may there be plenty of troubles for you this year!If you are not so sure what you should say back, why not just say, ‘Same to you’? I ask for no more.
Our successes are conditioned by the amount of risk we are ready to take. Earlier on today I visited a local farmer about three miles from where I live.
He could not have been more than fifty-five, but he said he was already too old to farm vigorously. He still suffered, he said, from the physical energy he displayed as a farmer in his younger days. Around his hut were two pepper bushes.
There were kokoyams growing round him. There were snail shells which had given him meat. There must have been more around the banana trees I saw. He hardly ever went to town to buy things. He was self-sufficient.
The car or the bus, the television or the telephone, the newspaper, Vietnam or Red China were nothing to him. He had no ambitions whatsoever, he told me. I am not sure if you are already envious of him, but were we all to revert to such a life,
we would be practically driven back to cave dwelling. On the other hand, try to put yourself into the position of the Russian or the America astronaut. Any moment now the count, 3, 2, 1, is going to go, and you are going to be shot into the
atmosphere and soon you will be whirling round our earth at the speed of six miles per second. If you get so fired into the atmosphere and you forget what to do to ensure return to earth, one of the things that
might happen to you is that you could become forever satellite, going round the earth until you die of starvation and even then your body would continue the gyration!
When, therefore, you are being dressed up and padded to be shot into the sky, you know only too well that you are going on the roughest road man had ever trodden. The Americans and Russians
who have gone were armed with the great belief that they would come back. But I cannot believe that they did not have some slight foreboding on the contingency of their non-return.
It is their courage for going in spite of these apprehensions that makes the world hail them so loudly today.
The big fish is never caught in shallow waters. You have to go into the open sea for it.
The biggest businessmen make decisions with lighting speed and carry them out with equal celerity. They do not dare delay or dally. Time would pass them by if they did. The biggest successes are preceded by
the greatest of heart-burnings. You should read the stories of the bomber pilots of World War II. The Russian pilot, the German pilot, the American or the British pilot suffered exactly the same
physical and mental tension the night before a raid on enemy territory. There were no alternative routes for those who most genuinely believed in victory for their side.
You cannot make omelettes without breaking eggs, throughout the world, there is no paean without pain. Jawaharlal Nehru has put it so well. I am paraphrasing him.
He wants to meet his troubles in a frontal attack. He wants to see himself tossed into the aperture between the two horns of the bull. Being there, he determines he is going to win and, therefore, such a fight requires all his faculties.
When my sisters and I were young and we slept on our small mats round our mother, she always woke up at 6a.m. for morning prayers. She always said prayers on our behalf but always ended with something like this:
May we not enter into any dangers or get into any difficulties this day.’ It took me almost thirty years to dislodge the canker-worm in our mother’s sentiments. I found, by hard experience, that all that is noble and laudable was to be achieved
only through difficulties and trials and tears and dangers. There are no other roads.
If I was born into a royal family and should one day become a constitutional king, I am inclined to think I should go crazy. How could I, from day to day, go on smiling and nodding approval
at somebody else’s successes for an entire lifetime? When Edward the Eighth (now Duke of Windsor) was a young, sprightly Prince of Wales, he went to Canada and shook so many hands that his right arm nearly got pulled out of its socket. It went into a sling and he shook hands
thenceforth with his left hand. It would appear he was trying his utmost to make a serious job out of downright sinecure.
Life, if it is going to be abundant, must have plenty of hills and vales. It must have plenty of sunshine and rough weather.
It must be rich in obfuscation and perspicacity. It must be packed with days of danger and of apprehension.
When I walk into the dry but certainly cool morning air of every January 1st, I wish myself plenty of tears and of laughter, plenty of happiness and unhappiness,
plenty of failures and successes. Plenty of abuse and praise. It is impossible to win ultimately without a rich measure of inter mixture in such a menu. Life would be worthless without the lot. We do not achieve much in this country because we are all so scared of taking risks.

An Appeal to My Dear Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

My dear Asiwaju, I pray my letter meets you and yours in fantastic spirit. It has almost become a tradition for me to write, or openly express my views, to you periodically on political issues, since about 2007.

Before I go into the meat of my epistle, kindly permit me to establish some protocol, or preamble. I always choose to write to you in this manner, in moments of great concern and uncertainty such as this, because these words must be kept for posterity. It is not easy to advise someone much older than oneself in our clime. An elderly person can do no wrong, according to our tradition, particularly, if such an elder is respected and revered as you are. It is even much tougher to offer advice to someone as powerful as God has made you to be. You are a man of destiny, and miracles. Yours is a fairy-tale. A real grass to grace story that many applaud and seek to emulate. But at the end of the day, Sir, you are very human. You are a very kind and generous man. You are exceptionally brilliant and smart and everyone, including your foes, admit and acknowledge that fact.

I have known and seen you at your lowest ebb, when we were in exile in England. You rose stoutly to the occasion then like a true generalissimo. We didn’t see the type of crowd that currently mill around you now. You were focussed on dismantling the military junta under the command of General Sani Abacha.

I remember with nostalgia how Tokunbo Afikuyomi and I used to stroll into your apartment around Cavendish near Regent’s Park, as if we were the owners of the beautiful flat that you still own till this day. I could go into your kitchen and cook whatever food I wanted and later do damage to your wine collection. I recollect the NADECO meetings at the Quadrangle, God bless Lt. General Alani Ipoola Akinrinade, for his inspirational leadership. Some of the faces I used to see are staring at me as I type this letter to you, Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, Reverend Peter Obadan, Hon. Wale Oshun, Dr Amos Akingba, Commodore Dan Suleiman, Chief Ralph Uweche, just to mention a few. I remember you as a good dancer at our occasional discos at Mill Hill. I also recognise two good names, Mr Ibukun Fakeye and Mr Bola Opaleye. We were under pressure, but you made things easier for most of us because of your natural gift of giving. Mama Calabar restaurant at Hendon Central was a good place to rendezvous then for good home food.

From your home, you coordinated many things, linking up with Papa Anthony Enahoro, Professor Wole Soyinka, the Afenifere Group at home, Dr Kayode Fayemi, the main man at Radio Freedom (later Radio Kudirat) and several other distinguished refugees. We had young but active journalists like Richie Dayo Johnson, George Noah, Greg Odo and Ike Okonta. I will readily attest to your uncommon courage and unassailable commitment to the struggle for democracy in our dear beloved country Nigeria. Nothing would ever scare or rattle me like the day you and I sat alone, in a coded location, with some German mercenary, who told us his organisation could rescue Chief M.K.O Abiola from detention. Many more personalities who are now sojourners in your various homes, who have made fame and fortune through you, were not part of the beginning no matter how much they now try to demonstrate that they were. Some of those who planned and plotted at that time joined you in your political forays, especially, a perfect gentleman like LT. General Alani Akinrinade who chose to observe from the back seat and make occasional contributions as the exigencies of our political situation dictated. I have gone through this tale to soften the ground a bit for what I’m about to tell you.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since those London days. Please, Sir, cast your mind back to the day you boarded the British Airways flight back to Nigeria a free man, about 20 years ago to the minute, in October 1998. God has been extremely kind, in all ramifications. If anyone had predicted you would ever be this big, you would have dismissed the person pronto as insane. You never prepared to be the Governor of Lagos then. Perhaps, you thought of returning to the Senate. The name on everyone’s lips was Dr Wahab Dosunmu. But the ways of God are permanently mysterious. All in a jiffy, things turned around for you and you became first the Candidate and later the most powerful Governor in Nigeria. You know those who helped you achieve that status and assisted in ensuring that you ultimately became the most powerful man in Nigeria after the President of Nigeria, even after you finished your term of office.

It wasn’t all rosy-rosy as you had a running battle with President Olusegun Obasanjo who, for whatever reason, chose to starve Lagos of its statutory funds. You assembled a fantastic team of technocrats and, with them, you set out on a beautiful voyage to create a new roadmap and gargantuan masterplan for modern Lagos. You survived every challenge or attack on your person, including plots to impeach you. After a turbulent first term, you coasted home to victory during your second term. By then your eminent position in the pantheon of Nigerian icons was assured.

You were not yet done. Out of the blues, you gave Lagos a superlative retirement gift in Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, a gentle colossus, who took Lagos to a new height of excellence. Many people never knew Fashola had such incredible talent. But towards the end of his first term, tragedy almost struck, when news broke out that you were not going to endorse him for a second term in office. I remember writing you a letter, in this same Pendulum column, asking you to perish the thought. I remember saying emphatically then that the marriage between you and Fashola was consummated in heaven and any attempt to seek a divorce by either of you would end up in monumental disaster for both of you and your great party, ACN. I have no idea how many important personalities appealed to you before you calmed down and embraced your godson, warts and all, but you did the needful, and despite rumoured friction between both of you today, Fashola remains a great pride of Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.

Thereafter, I also had occasion to beg you not to get involved in certain battles at the beginning of the Buhari administration because I was aware some people were out to use and dump you, but your new acolytes frowned at my humble suggestion and went to town with blistering insults and abuses. Over three years after, I’m sure you’ve seen the futility of your great effort at helping your party get its bearing right. Even the reconciliation committee which you headed was never allowed to flourish for one day. It has been one crisis after the other. But let’s leave that and move forward to the crux of the matter today.

Let me say categorically that no one has sent me to you because what is fashionable these days is the web of conspiracy stories on social medial. You must have guessed what this is all about, already. My appeal to you, openly and frontally, is to plead with you to handle the Akinwunmi Ambode debacle with utmost care and tact. Until you brought him out from retirement, not many people ever knew him and his achievements as the Lagos State Accountant-General. He was obviously a young, shy but brilliant man who knew how to get results. Your unusual sagacity and prescience in unearthing gems like Fashola and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice-President birthed another genius of an administrator in Ambode. He has succeeded in following and emulating the glorious heights set by you and Fashola and Lagos State has again been better for the choice you made. I have read all sorts about how power changed him and how he has not been too grateful and appreciative to all those who gave him this uncommon favour and the seat of power that he currently occupies. I have also sat with people who swore never to forgive him even if you do. We all know though, that once you give direction, all the sabre-rattling by these political journey-men will cease and they will abide by your decision. Hmmm, Asiwaju, at the end of the day, no matter what happens, you would be held responsible for the plight of your party, APC and Lagos State, for good or for bad.

It is normal for every mortal to feel let down. It is even always tempting for humans to get angry and seek vengeance but after every war, the gladiators often come together on the table to start a new life as if they were not killing themselves in recent past. I can’t claim to know all the sins Governor Ambode committed to warrant his present predicament. But whatever it was, we are told he has begged and pleaded, his wife has apologised, many distinguished Nigerians have beseeched that you forgive and allow him to complete his good work. I have read the complaints of many of your foot-soldiers, Sir, the reasons and excuses for dumping Ambode are very similar, he has not looked after anybody, he has been standoffish, who does he think he is, and so on. These are at the very worst, personal issues that could naturally lead to bickering and animosity. I doubt if the issue was more about lack of performance in accordance with the mandate of improving Lagos which you gave to him. Not even uncharitable persons would accuse him of that. Politics is indeed a delicate and dangerous game. A few months back, no one would have envisaged this type of strife or brouhaha to visit a man everyone called the most hardworking Governor in Nigeria. If I want to sound superstitious and to put it the African way, this is the handiwork of witches and wizards.

I’m aware that my very dear Brother, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, incidentally, I’m 20 times closer to him than Ambode, has been dragged into the cauldron of intrigue and power struggle in Lagos State. I will love him to be Governor, because he is undoubtedly qualified, but not in the manner many of your supporters are going about it. If he is so destined, he may still be Governor, some day. This is my reason for saying that the apparent unnecessary and unwarranted humiliation of the current Governor is bizarre and definitely uncalled for. The giddiness of the moment must urgently give way to sobriety. If care is not taken ‘kata kata’ may burst! It seems that the Lagos electorate is being taken for granted and that it is assumed that they are merely dogs that can be controlled by the whistle of the dog handler. Asiwaju, you never know, the unpredictable may happen and it has happened before. I do not pray that history repeats itself within a short time, at a time when you hold sway as the undisputed power broker. If that happens, God forbid, most of those saying there is no one like you today, will swiftly disappear before you can blink an eye. I venture to say that most of them do not personally like you. They live in fear of you and not in awe of you. I hear and know what many of them say behind you. If one asks them, why haven’t they told you face-to-face, the usual answer is “you will be called an enemy once you tell Oga the truth…”

I remain your dear younger one who will not shirk from telling you the plain truth!

These are people very close to you, but do not have your interest at heart. They are only concerned with their selfish interests and self-preservation.

What would be worse is for this grave matter not to be settled and Babajide’s head is used to break coconut. This would be sad. Everything must be done to bring your team together again as one. Both of them can still work perfectly for the good of the State. There is nothing wrong in having two brilliant, diligent and industrious people on the same ticket to advance the prospects of the State, with the recognition that the deputy is already anointed to take over. I believe that this may be a veritable solution to the present imbroglio and that it can work to assuage the feelings and aspirations of all concerned.

The present situation is sad and unfortunate. I seriously pity those who think you and Ambode cannot be friends again. I know from your antecedents that you do not practice politics like that. You are much more astute. You are buoyed by the philosophy of ‘itesiwaju Eko’. That demands sacrifices for the Lagos State you envision. I believe this is one sacrifice that is necessary to make. It is difficult but not impossible. You must forgive and make up, before it is too late. All those who have intervened are waiting, and watching, to see if you would disregard, and disrespect, them all collectively. That would be truly unfortunate.

Finally, Asiwaju, you have shown your power and demonstrated the ability to squash and rout, but, please, don’t fire the bullet. Ambode deserves a second chance.

Very laudable app and easy to use..I started saving on the app about 2 months ago. Paystack powers it, so it’s a reputable venture

Nevee:
Well, there could be so many explanations for that.

The most likeley is as a result of recent speculations of an increase in pump price. When this happens, holders of such inventory (fuel, in this case) would stop selling now in order to sell at a higher price in the future, invariably, when such speculative price increase comes to pass. Note that these marketers purchased the fuel from the depots at the normal price. So it's not an issue of cost driving up prices. It is just to make abnormal profit, arguably driven by greed.

When this happens, it creates an artificial scarcity of petrol, thereby forcing consumers to buy more than they currently need (i.e. panic buying).

Another possible reason is shortage of supply to depots (where the marketers load) in Lagos and it's environs by the satellite depot , not ruling out the possibility of the satellite depot not being supplied from the atlas. (Basically, the flow is Atlas to Satellite depot to other various depots).

NB: The satellite depot for south west is in Sagamu, Ogun state.

A lot shaa, let me avoid too much jargon.

Your latter suggestion is almost spot on, this is just the handiwork of the oil marketers...greed and exploitation
May God help us in this country

Hmmm...time will tell

More food for the IDPs
We need more seizure like that to feed our homeless and needy

This is a brilliant political strategy on the side of Hon Gbajabiamila,by submitting himself for investigation as one of the principal officers of house is an indictment on other officers that refuse to do same....it's getting more interesting

I don't know the motive of the writer of this piece but it sure is a big fat lie.just this past month,my father Inlaw was rushed down to Gbagada general hospital due to cardiac arrest he suffered on his way to work.he was transferred to this cardiac and renal center this writer claimed has packed up where he did series of tests with some of these equipments said to not function.I could have been one of the gullible commenters to the this post too if I wasn't at the center recently,believe me when I tell u even the lobby and corridors of the center are well ventilated with AC talk less of the operating rooms and lab.am very glad and grateful that such an advanced center could be found among us here which saved my father inlaw's life,he was discharged within a week

Nawa o!

I have always knew that we have not heard the last about this unfortunate saga by some of our military men.This matter should have never been swept under carpet,I support the inquiry and any personnel found wanting should be dealt with swiftly! Enough of impunity in our nation

*sighs....I miss Fashola

Like my 'boys' will say, "ode ni won like"....Lai Muhammed is a loyal and dedicated party member that has been through thick and thin for his party.he deserves every benefits he gets.and its not as if anybody is competing his competency o.Yeye people

Ameachi just seems to be unfortunate to have an enemy (Wike) as governor of his state....no more,no less.Na only God and Saraki fit help am for this matter

Make we know the price na?

Its simply a Pdp agenda,remember "Alhaji Tambuwal" said 8 out of d last 7th assembly principal officers voted Dogara.pls who constituted majority of the last assembly? Pdp noni!.So Tambuwal should just pls let hear word about his cry of competence when we all know they all have a certain agenda(ii.e the NPDP caucus in APC).
BtW who knows Dogara when Gbaja was championing the struggle for change in the lower chamber,so it is now he is not competent abi...shioor!

I can confirm seeing this same girl a number of times on television news,always on a rally with a megaphone campaigning vigorously during the last general elections.Some of her videos are on youtube and facebook sef.....you can always feel the passion in her then,kudos girl

I think Saraki is still enjoying the public space because of the absence of PMB's cabinet.By the time the team is fully formed and real action begins,Saraki will be begging for attention.More importantly, APC leaders are still evasive concerning the treachery of Saraki,trust them to serve him appropriately when the time is ripe!....like they say.the masquarade wey display first,na look he go look last last

This is what u get when u are desperate and selfish,u can't have your cake and eat at d same time na.He wanted power and he has it,let him use now....power comes from majority! Its a simple rule of life,its not too late for him to retrace his steps cos I still like him

Dele Momodu is a big disappointment to say d least,he had warmed up to some of us who sees him as a credible link between we the youth and the old leaders/politicians.but seeing his stand on this treachery act of both Saraki and Dogara is really a big dent on his growing image in the political arena of our nation.its not too late for him to retrace his steps now,cos I really think he can do better!

mbulela:
This is part of planning. Mimiko has taken us back to the Awolowo school of leadership, that leadership is not by permutation but good planning for the welfare of the people” .“That was how human rights activist, Yinka Odumakin, summarized the Residency Card initiated by Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko at the flag-off ceremony of its utilization phase.

Any pile of poo is decorated with the Awo mythology by this Odumakin man and suddenly it is ought not to be contested and debate around such is termed heresy by he and his Afenifere goons.
All these pointless cards from national ID to BVN to SIM registration as good as the schemes are on paper have been nothing but schemes to embezzle funds.
Odumakin should allow Awo to rest in peace.
If this scheme was being initiated by Amosun or Ambode, I doubt he will laud it as he is doing now.
Men who can never see beyond their political groupings and insulting public intelligence with toga of human right activist.

Don't mind the yeye man,the Lasg has embarked on this since the 2nd term of ex-gov Fashola.They keep deceiving themselves thinking they deceive us,abeg who even sabi Afenifere again!
