The way I hear it, there are curious signs of improvement in Nigeria.
Among them: electricity and petroleum products seem to be more available. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seems to have a bolder and firmer understanding of economic and financial crime. The police appear to be reinventing policing, slowly turning its focus to crime and criminals, and somewhat away from law-abiding citizens. Alongside—or on top—of all of this, is a new industry: the manufacturing of excuses and explanations which favour of Nigeria’s former leader, Goodluck Jonathan. Among its most notable: The National Peace Committee, headed by General Abdussalam Abubakar; Dr. Mike Okonkwo, the leader of the Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM); and Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka. Professor Soyinka gave his remarks when Jonathan was still in office, although they have just been published by the EFCC. “There are forces around Jonathan, you put your fingers around it, which he himself does not understand and that is why I stressed that, you've got to choose your circle of advisers very carefully, when you are in charge,” he said. “He's been caged; things are going on…he did not know about." He added: "When it comes to the issue of corruption, Jonathan surrounds himself with certain unsavoury characters and that is something you don't have to do if you are in charge.” Bishop Okonkwo, for his part, told Vanguard newspaper that GEJ appeared to have been under a spell, from which Nigeria’s “Men of God” failed to deliver him. The Christian chieftains, he said, had “the responsibility of taking him out of the spell, [praying] with him even for three days and whatever was holding him would have been removed…” Then there is the “Peace Committee,” which visited President Muhammadu Buhari last week supposedly “to discuss how to “wind up” and to check if there was a new national assignment they could undertake.” Committee member Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, the respected Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese, explained that the committee was not against combating corruption, but wanted to ensure “due process”. They wanted to make it clear this was a democratic 2015—not a 1983 military contraption—and that all are innocent until proven guilty. It was curious that the committee went to the president, who has consistently underlined the rule of law, to make the case about the rule of law. Contributing to the same developments last week was the PDP’s Senate Caucus, headed by former Akwa Ibom State governor and now Senate Minority Leader Goodswill Akpabio, which denounced Buhari’s push against corruption. “The current war lacks transparency, fairness to all and appears to be aimed at political adversaries,” the group said in a statement. They alleged that in the PDP States of Abia, Rivers and Akwa Ibom, the State Security Service was hounding government opponents and intimidating electoral officials using “trumped- up” charges. “The PDP Senate caucus is worried, alarmed and shocked by the recent development in our polity where the DSS is now involved in electoral matters,” they said. All of this is coming on the eve of an anti- corruption comeuppance that Buhari has promised since he began to contest for the presidency in 2003. That was before GEJ was ever heard of as a politician; before Akpabio became governor; and before one Marilyn Ogar— not a Buhari government—dragged the DSS into electoral matters. The problem is that all of this constitutes dancing on the periphery of the dance floor, which is that Mr. Jonathan will find it hard to avoid a corruption mud-bath in which he could drown. Such an embarrassing prospect could have been avoided, perhaps in 2010 when Jonathan routinely said he would combat corruption, only to embrace it. It could have been avoided in 2011 when he erected his vast mountain of electoral promises that he would scandalously ignore. It could have been avoided in 2012, but that was when he scornfully rejected the notion of declaring his assets, and then began to provide philosophical cover for corruption. Nigeria is the funniest village on earth when it comes to corruption. Every single citizen wants the menace to be confronted and defeated, unless where it involves us or our relatives, political or otherwise. That is when we call the idea unprintable names. This is the fork in the road at which we now arrive. At one end is the meaningless Peace Committee, hiding under the umbrella of “due process” to trumpet GEJ’s “spectacular achievements” as a currency. Where did GEJ hide his “spectacular” achievements? Did he defeat Boko Haram? Did he defeat unemployment? Did he defeat corruption? Did he implement his electoral promises? Did he implement a presidential report? Did he Transform Nigeria? Did he Bring Back Our Girls? Did he inspire a child? Hopefully, the Peace Committee will provide answers, or else leave us with the conclusion it simply wishes a “soft landing” for GEJ ahead of the imminent probe of his kleptocracy. Otherwise, why preach due process to a government that has declared it to be non- negotiable, especially when you have never said anything productive about the scorched-earth corruption in the land? Soyinka has unfortunately also provided the sour suggestion that GEJ may somehow be less than culpable for the mess he made of his leadership because he was “caged,” and had surrounded himself with “unsavoury” characters? Who caged GEJ? The characters he surrounded himself with were his, and at no point did he reject anyone as undesirable. In fact, he went out of his way to bring back to respectability such characters as former Bayelsa State Governor Dipreye Alamieyeseigha, granting state pardon to a man recognized internationally as a byword for corruption in our country. Similarly, if you take away Bishop Okonkwo’s coded language, Jonathan was a good man with great intentions. He wasn’t caged; he was trapped behind a spell. Finally, Senator Akpabio, himself the poster child for lack of accountability, now leads the PDP’s charge against what the party describes as lack of transparency and fairness. Akpabio ran AI like a personal estate from an executive jet, an expensive toy AI never needed. And it is on record that in 2014, he confessed the malfeasance that was the PDP. “We have messed up…” he told Obasanjo during a well- publicized encounter. “For me, I don’t want to go to jail and my children are too young.” Akpabio was begging that his children not have to face such a imposed on them by the menace of the PDP, but he showed absolutely no concern for the children of hundreds of millions who suffer deprivation and pain every day for the same reason. In the end, the question is whether, in the Jonathan years, what passed for governance in Nigeria was one, and whom it benefitted. The time has come for those who ran Nigeria to answer questions about what they actually did, and how. It is a question of justice, not opinion. Where I come from, that is called “answering your father’s name.” It is actually a simple question, unless you have no idea whom your father is. In that case, you might call the question malicious, or a witch-hunt. • sonala.olumhense@gmail.com • Twitter: @SonalaOlumhense

Is this the end of the road for Nigerian women famed for exploiting young ladies, luring them into sex slavery and running prostitution rings outside the country? Only time will tell. Not too long ago, one Esther Nicole Otubo and a young Nigerian lady simply identified as Precious made the headlines for the wrong reasons – The former being the ‘dealer’ and the latter the ‘item’. Esther Nicole Otubo, one of the ‘Dubai Madams’. This case of a young lady started in August, 2014; when the starry-eyed Precious was lured into the illicit trade and, as part of measures to get her to pay up her daily dues, made to ‘swear an oath’ in front of camera. Actually, she was naked as she stood in front of the camera.

This act would serve as an ‘alibi’ of sorts were Precious to renege on her agreement with her Madam, Esther; the principal of the ill- famed ‘PROSTITUTION BUSINESS EMPIRE’. Principals who own and run these prostitution outlets are said to rake in as much as $30,000 (N6 million) net profit monthly. The girls are camped in various sex outlets and average hotels across the United Arab Emirates, their jobs being to trade their bodies till they can raise enough money to settle their bosses. It’s strange how much young Nigerians are willing to travel out of the country, guided by the misconception that over there the streets are paved with gold. It isn’t always what it seems to be. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Recent developments on the Precious case reveal that she completed her degree education as well as National Youth Service program in Nigeria before travelling to seek ‘greener’ pastures in far away Dubai. Therefore it brings us to these questions: Are young Nigerians forced into these acts abroad? Are they deceived into the acts prior to travelling? Are they entirely hopeless about the future back home in Nigeria? On the other hand, could it be greed that fuels the need to travel in these cases? Whatever the answer, sex slavery and human trafficking is not the answer. It is not the way. It will never be the way. Above all; whether or not Esther Nicole Otubo of the Prostitution Business Empire, nor her fellow ‘Dubai Madams’ are rounded up, and punished as they deserve, this incident will forever be a blot for years. It will always be out there for the world to see. Reacting to Precious’ humiliation; lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye, recently spoke to Punch.

He lamented the situation, and condemned the fact that young Nigerian girls were in these traps primarily because they have no one to speak for them than it is about them voluntarily entering into these illicit dealings. Ugwuonye who runs the group Due Process Advocates spoke further: ‘I have videos of two different girls recorded under the most debasing conditions, naked and scared. What Nicole does is to videotape these girls in the nude and blackmail them into prostitution in Dubai. This woman is like none that you have come across before. She is a ‘Madam’ and a human trafficker. She takes desperate young Nigerian girls on a sex slave mission to Dubai or other Middle Eastern countries for prostitution. Before they leave Nigeria, she would first make the girls and their parents swear an oath at a local shrine in the belief that such would place a curse of sudden death on those girls were they to disobey her. The total amount she plans to get from each girl is about $30,000.’ ‘The girl is to become a prostitute, make money from her ‘clients’ and keep giving such money to the woman until she agrees she has received $30,000 from the girl. This Madam uses blackmail as an additional means of enforcing her plan. She would take a video recording of each girl, who would have been made to stand stark naked. She would tell each girl that if she failed to pay her $30,000 when she gets to Dubai or elsewhere, she would release the video tape on Facebook and would delete it when she eventually gets paid. ‘These girls apparently agree to this. I use the word “apparently” on purpose to raise questions about the voluntariness of these girls’ participation in this. Ostensibly, some of these girls have not paid the Madam all the money she demanded of them. That must have been what led Madam to release that video on Facebook. I have seen videos of three girls in such humiliation. People forwarded them to me in order for me to use DPA to help track down the woman that is behind all this. ‘There are many, many Nigerian girls suffering under her control. These girls lack the ability to cry out. They are in slavery and bondage. We must set them free and we must have the ‘Madam’ arrested.’ There is also another ‘Dubai Madam’; we simply identified her as Ann in the course of our findings. ‘She has five girls under her control. Madam Ann lodges her girls in a three-star hotel while she would stay at home and offer them men in exchange for cash. After each girl must have slept with four or five men, Madam Ann would come and collect the money they would have made from them. ‘The hotels cannot be busted by the Dubai Police. These Madams change hotels like every two days to remain undetected. Any girl that stays in the hotel for more than four days would be expected to leave because of the slow sex seekers’ traffic. The hotel’s members of staff may not know what is going on. So if there are steady traffic of clients in the hotel and to a particular room, after two days, the hotel would notice and ask the girls to leave. The only things they take to the hotels are sexy lingerie to entice customers,’ Ugwuonye said.

Naija got brains....

The birth of a child brings joy and happiness not just to the parent but to the whole family. A child does not partake or determine what name he or she is to be known with or called. This is the exclusive preserve of the parents and family to decide.

Parents give names to their new infants for many reasons. The common reason is for identify but there is more to that. Names are given to children based on circumstances surrounding the birth of the child. So, in the case of the former president Goodluck Jonathan, his first name Goodluck might have been carefully chosen for some reasons, since his parents were into canoe making. More so, they might have wanted the child to find luck and not just any kind of luck but goodluck in future. If going by his first name, Goodluck, it will be agreed that a child that did not have shoe to go the school had providence smiling on him. I brings to you the three Goodluck


1. The Mystery Around His Name
The is this popular saying among Nigerians that one man’s failure is another man’s success. There are some myths surrounding the name, Goodluck. These myths date back from when he was still in secondary school. It was said that while he was in his final year, he happened to be the assistant head boy of his school. He later became the head boy at the demise of the previous head boy. Then, as the deputy governor of Bayelsa state, providence came smiling on him when his then boss, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was impeached by the state House. In December 2005, Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in as the governor of Bayelsa state. Again, as the vice president, he was made the acting president through a motion from Nigerian Senate tagged doctrine of necessity, when the president, Yar’Adua was hospitalized in a Saudi Arabian hospital in November, 2009. At the death of late president Umaru Yar’Adua on May 5, 2010, Goodluck Jonathan became the 14th head of state of Nigeria on May 6, 2010.

2. First Elected President From South South
Nigeria is divided into six political zones of North-West, North-East, North-Central, South- West, South-East and South-South for easy political administration and for power sharing. Since Nigeria’s independence in October 1,1960, not a single person from the South- South has been elected president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Even, military head of state eluded the zone during the infamous period of military rule. However, the jinx was broken by Goodluck Jonathan in 2011. Goodluck smiled on Jonathan as he won not just the keenly contested Peoples Democratic Party nomination by beating well established politicians like the former vice president Atiku Abubakar, he went on to win the poll in landline victory against his arch-rival, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the defunct, Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). Jonathan polled 22,495,185 (58.89%) while Buhari got 12,214,853 (31.98%). By this victory, Goodluck Jonathan became the first elected president of Nigeria from the South-South zone. There were rumours that some parents at that time named their male children ‘Goodluck’. Perhaps, they wanted providence to also smile on their children’s fortune as it did with Jonathan.

3. Good Luck Smiles On Nigeria Sport Nigerian sport men and women won more laurels in Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. The Super Eagles won Africa Cup of Nation (AFCON) in South Africa. This winning came after 19 years that the country had to wait to achieve this feat. As if that was not enough, the nation U-17 team won FIFA U-17 World Cup in United Arab Emirates. Nigeria had the best performance at the Commonwealth Games and the World Athletic Championship. Team Nigeria at 2012 summer Paralympics, where our men and women athletes did the country proud by winning 6 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze. This is what one of Nigeria’s finest sport personalities, John Fashanu, said about Jonathan’s sport achievement: “All these happened because he was really a lucky president and most importantly, he created an enabling atmosphere for sports men and women to strive because of the way he normally appreciate them when they return [from major sport competition] .” These are just few of the good luck that shone on the country’s sport during Jonathan’s tenure.

Music videos are mediums for artistes to
showcase their looks, dance steps and tell a story
of their songs. In the Nigerian music landscape, it
has grown beyond that into a medium for display
of gangsterism, sex and violence. Our videos have
become bad deal for our impressionable youths
who tend to copy most of what they see on TV
and the internet. And the Nigerian
cinematographers are pushing the limits and
becoming more expressive in their shots.


These days, caution has been thrown into the
wind and their new form of entertainment is
display of boobs, butt or bust cleavage, naked
laps and other subtle erotic parts of the body.
Studies have shown a connection between music
videos and violent behavior of adolescents.The
study also shows a relationship between the
imagery displayed in videos and inappropriate
sexual behaviours. In no particular order, we
chronicle 10 Nigerian music videos that will send
shock waves down your spine.


Reminisce –Skilashi 2015
Just like his previous sensual video, Tesojue,
Reminisce continues to push the limits as far as
releasing shocking videos is concerned.The Alaga
Ibile crooner makes use of vulgar lyrics and
obscene images in this video.The visuals are filled
with different scenes where the video vixens can
be seen dancing provocatively and occasionally
revealing their bums.
In other words, this video falls into the category
of a soft porn. Lately, Reminisce has been
releasing sexually charged videos without thinking
of the harmful effects it will have on the younger
generation. The video is directed by Frizzle and
Bizzle Films.


Olamide –Falila Ketan 2015
What message can be passed in a music video
where bums are being shaken in most of the
scenes? This is the question that comes to mind
when you watch Olamide’s Falila Ketan. All you
can see in the video is skimpily dressed ladies
twerking their God-given bums. It’s not the kind
of video you want to watch in the presence of
your children, if you don’t want to answer
inquisitive questions.The video is directed by
Unlimited L.A.


Niyola-Love to love you – 2014
Before the video of this song was released, the
beautiful RnB singer, Niyola, posted a picture from
the video shoot with her upper body laid bare,
covering her breasts with her arms.
This generated various negative comments on the
social media. Love to love you is a love song with
sexual connotations, provocative dance steps and
erotic steamy scenes.
The video was shot in New York and shows how
Niyola loves to show love to her man. The video
is directed by Kemi Adetiba.


Wizkid- Expensive Shit– 2015
Though this song has an amazing Afrobeat feel, it
still goes on to unveil some shocking raunchy
scenes and suggestive dance styles. The visuals
were shot in South Africa and capture Wizkid in
the midst of skimpily dressed video
vixens.Towards the end of the video,Wizkid
cuddles one of the video vixens, puts her in a
compromising provocative posture, as though he
is ready to take her to the ‘Next level’. The video
is directed by Sesan.


Seyi Shay-Crazy 2014
Seyi Shay’s vocal dexterity is in no doubt, but
same cannot be said of this music video which
has many question marks over it. The visuals
have various sexual scenes blended with
provocative dance steps. In a particular scene,
Wizkid is spotted in a romantic position with Seyi
Shay.
This short scene has Seyi Shay seizing Wizzy’s
crotch. In another scene, Seyi Shay can be seen
twerking on Wizkid. The video is directed by Meji
Alabi.


Mr2kay –Bad girl special – 2015 (featuring
Cynthia Morgan and Seyi Shay)
Weeks before the video was officially released, the
behind-the-scenes pictures were unveiled to the
public. A particular steamy picture of Mr2kay and
Cynthia Morgan went viral, getting everyone
thinking there could be more between the duo
than just music. For starters, the video begins
with Cynthia Morgan seductively walking towards
Mr2kay in a revealing top.
In this scene, the German juice sensation shows
off her curves and cleavage, affirming that she is
a ‘Bad’ girl for real. Another notable part in the
video is a scene where the duo are in the kitchen
caressing each other with Cynthia taking a sniff
of her cigarette. There was a time when Nigerian
music videos had a message and brilliant
concepts, it seems those days are long gone. The
video is directed by Clarence Peters.


Davido –Fans Mi – 2015
What comes to mind when you see guns, lots of
cash on a table and ladies dressed seductively in
a music video? This image portrays violence,
gangsterism and sensuality. Davido’s new video
depicts these negative vices in no small way. In
the visuals, the young popstar tries to seal a deal
to supply cocaine, while the leader of the gang
hands him stacks of dollars for the business
transaction. He goes back to his house where he
is welcomed by scantily dressed ladies arranging
the cocaine.
If music videos are meant to be a vehicle to pass
positive messages for the good of the coming
generation, this video has done nothing but just
the opposite. The video is directed by Sesan.


Cynthia Morgan-German Juice 2015
The title says it all. German Juice connotes
buttocks. The ladies in this video swings it from
the beginning to the end. It was shot on a sunny
and summer-themed location. Cynthia Morgan
sings on a groovy dancehall beat while the ladies
were just shaking their big bums. The video is
poor in concept and lacks the needed depth that
should be displayed in a music video. The video
is directed by Clarence Peters and Jude Okoye.


Skuki-Silifa 2014
This video is reminiscent of Timaya’s Shake your
bum bum where ‘White’ video vixens were
shaking their assets. Shot sometime last year, the
song’s lyrics is empty and the video has no
storyline. The only shocking aspect of the visuals
is the brazen manner the video vixens were
shaking their buttocks. Little wonder, it was
tagged ‘Not suitable for work’(NSFW).


Flavour-Ololufe (Featuring Chidinma) 2015
Flavour made headlines years back when he
passionately kissed Tiwa Savage in the video of
the song ‘Onyi remix’. It generated lots of
controversy and sparked dating rumours been
these two hit makers. This is 2015, and the
suave singer is back to his kissing antics.
This time his partner in crime is the petite
Chidinma Ekile and the video is ‘Ololufe’. Since
the video hit the public domain, she has been
heavily condemned. Though, Chidinma has
revealed that she is not dating Flavour, her fans
are yet to recover from the shock of seeing her
engage in such an offensive act. The video is
directed by Godfather productions.



May the Lord deliver us from all ds celeb.

“I think what we are concerned about is the process. It is no longer a military regime and under our existing laws, everybody is innocent until proven guilty." - Bishop Kukah

This is a statement credited to the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Dioceses, Bishop Hassan Kukah, when the Peace Committee for the 2015 general elections led by the former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, visited President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, August 11th. As it were, I found nothing wrong in the Peace Committee visiting the President, because any credible group is free to visit the President since the President is for everybody and for nobody in particular. What I am worried about is the timing and the motive of the visit. I am deeply worried about the purpose of this visit. Is it to shield some people from the investigations on corruption going in almost every critical sector of our economy? Is it to try to circumvent a clinical process being put in place to put things in order in Nigeria? Is it to try to slow down President Buharis’s agenda to rid Nigeria of corruption? Is it an attempt to intimidate the President to slow down and let the corrupt who pillaged and plundered our common patrimony to go scot-free? Is it blackmail to render nugatory APC’s agenda to bring the change it promised Nigerians? Are the Peace Committee members not aware of the sordid roles some members of the committee played during President Jonathan’s tenure? Why these crude interventions at a time like this? Is the Peace Committee working to protect Jonathan and his cronies and shield them from facing the jury? When has it become an offense to investigate past leaders and bring them to book if necessary? What is the meaning of this dangerous mediation at a time like this? A friend tells me that the rampancy of corruption in Nigeria is a function of low Intelligent Quotient (IQ) on the part of all of us. Can the members of the Peace Committee be exonerated? Please listen to Bishop Kukah’s second sentence: “Again, our commitment is not to intimidate or fight anybody, the former President’s commitment and what he did still remains spectacular and I think that President Buhari himself appreciates that. So our effort really is to make sure that the right thing is done.” Now, what is this spectacular thing that the former President Jonathan did? To preside over a corrupt empire never known in the history of Nigeria, to decimate and desecrate the political decision to rotate power between the North and South and consequently put the nation in danger, to accept that he blew billions of dollars and pounds in an election he was bound to lose because the figures were not in his favor. He did something spectacular by accepting defeat in an election he lost fair and square? He did something spectacular by allowing every Tom, Dick, and Harry including his wife to declare war on our national till? Let the truth be told: former President Jonathan was defeated black and blue, left and right, front and back, and up and down. Eleven small states in the South-South and South-East would not have defeated Twenty-Five States from the South-West, North-West, North-East, and North- Central. There was no way two small zones would have defeated four big zones in that crucial elections. Therefore there was nothing spectacular about accepting defeat. He had no choice that to hand over and bow out. He could not have contested elections in 2011. He could not have contested again in 2015. Former president Jonathan’s ambition to rule Nigeria for 10 years plus OBJ’s 8 years put Nigeria in great danger. In fact it put a knife on things that have held us together. It divided the country, and it was a threat to national unity. It is therefore worrisome and unacceptable for the members of the Peace Committee to try to blackmail and intimidate APC and President Buhari in their strong desire and determination to fulfill what the party promised Nigerians. APC promised Nigerians to fight corruption, impunity, and lawlessness. APC promised to restore sanity and progress in the land. APC promised to do things differently and change the way we think, the way we reason, the way we act, the way we plan, and the way we work. APC promised to plug all the loopholes and stop all the leakages within the system. APC promised to stop the oil thieves and chase the saboteurs away from the power sector and NNPC. APC cannot achieve all this without the required political will, courage and strong leadership. The task of rebuilding and repositioning Nigeria is a task that must be done and the president must be encouraged to go the whole hog. Have we suddenly forgotten what President Buhari went through in the cause of the campaign? Have we forgotten all the hate campaigns against candidate Buhari? Have we forgotten the certificate issue, his health issue, and his age issue? What did the Peace Committee do? They said Buhari would not rule Nigeria. They said he is brain dead. They said he has no certificate. They said he is not electable. They said he would die in office. They abused his family. They said APC would not survive till October 2014. They said Nigeria would be set on fire if Jonathan loses. Now that God has made Buhari president, please let us allow him to work. There are some faces I saw in the Peace Committee that send strong signals to me that it is former President Jonathan’s show. An evil spirit visited the house in the night and the child died in the morning. We know better. President Buhari should be allowed to do the work God wants him to do. God brought this President in the saddle to do what he is doing now. They did everything humanly possible to stop him but he defeated them all. I know that the election losers are still very angry, and are yet to come to terms on what hit them, but the mission was accomplished. I am told that old ways will not open new doors. PDP posed an existential threat to Nigeria while the bazaar lasted. Now we have a new order. This is a new Nigeria. Please allow President Buhari to fight corruption and restore sanity in the land.

The blamer to me is the most annoying stuff....while casting blame after the show we both enjoy that most time they ar the one that initiate it. Its just annoying.

Service Chiefs got yesterday a three months deadline to crush Boko Haram – the sect that has given Nigeria horrors. President Muhammadu Buhari gave the directive during the officers’ swearing in and decoration with new ranks at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Those decorated yesterday after their appointment on July 13 are General Abayomi Gabriel Olonishakin – Chief of Defence Staff; Lt.-General T.Y. Buratai – Chief of Army Staff; Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas – Chief of Naval Staff and Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar – Chief of Air Staff. The Commander-in-Chief, who noted that the officers were qualified for the appointments, urged them to end Boko Haram’s terrorism in three months. He said: “Rightly, the armed forces have been in the vanguard of the fight against terrorism. While commending the efforts of the armed forces so far, you need to brace and continue to team up with other stakeholders to come up with a well coordinated joint effort, which will bring a desired end to this insurgency within three months. “In the course of carrying out this assignment, you must be accountable for all men and equipment placed under your command. Your troops’ welfare must be uppermost in your mind. Take care of them and make available what is due to them. “Concerted efforts should also be made to make judicious use of resources that are available to you in search for solution to these challenges. “On our own part, we shall be ready to give you the needed resources to achieve this feat. You will recall I have been to several countries with the sole aim of canvassing for global support to eliminate terrorism from Nigeria. “These efforts, which include establishment of the Multinational Joint Task Force, should be complemented by you . You should therefore re-professionalise your force and give your troops creditable training so that they can perform their job creditably “You should also ensure that they abide with the newly enforced rules and regulations of international standards while carrying out their assigned tasks. In particular you must protect innocent civilians ….and respect the rights of combatant ….” This, Buhari said, will earn the support of local communities, respect of allies and support of international community. He went on: “Therefore, I have no doubt in my mind that all of you are equal to the task ahead of you. You must acquaint yourselves and justify the honour done to you.” The President recalled that the activities of misguided groups and individuals have resulted in wanton destruction of lives and properties of Nigerians and disruption of social economic lives of millions of Nigerians.” On behalf of the Service chiefs, the Chief of Defence Staff said they would not let down the nation just as he asked for the cooperation of all to defeat the sect. Speaking with State House correspondents at the end of the ceremony, Gen. Olonishakin said: “We are already strategising on how to handle most of the challenges since we were appointed. “And all these strategies we are beginning to put them in place, so we’ll just put in more efforts to ensure that we achieve the desire of the President.” On if three months was enough to crush Boko Haram, Gen. Olonishakin said: “The President has given a presidential directive.”

Aaaaaaah!!!


When you are in a heated arguement with another Lagosian especially conductors or those agberos and it looks very likely that a physical fight is on the way, just shout the word 'Aaaaaaah!' 3 times and end with by screaming the word 'Emi, emi, emi, Iya eh!'

Lol.. seriously?

Hmmmn....

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned against attempts to truncate the fight against corruption under any guise, while also expressing support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s determination to end corruption. In a statement in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party appealed to Nigerians, especially opinion leaders, to ensure that their actions and utterances do not give comfort to those who have looted the commonwealth. ‘’Our party promised Nigerians change, but the change we promised and which Nigerians desire so much cannot be achieved if we allow the resources that belong to Nigerians to be appropriated by a few. How do we upgrade our decayed infrastructure and provide jobs for our people when the money meant for that has been squirelled away by a few? ‘’President Buhari has promised to break the vicious cycle of corruption that has held Nigeria down. How can he do that if he allows those who have looted the treasury to escape justice, and then use their ill-gotten wealth to fight the government? How can he do that if he turns a blind eye to the monumental corruption in all sectors. ‘’We know that fighting corruption in a society where the cankerworm has eaten deep into its fabric will not be easy. We know that corruption will always fight back. But there is no other choice than to confront and destroy this monster once and for all, lest it destroys Nigeria,’’ it said. APC said the President’s sincerity of purpose could be seen from his statement that any of his party members, who is found to be corrupt, would not escape justice. ‘’Therefore, those who are shouting themselves hoarse by saying the Buhari Administration’s fight against corruption is selective or is a distraction are only seeking to sabotage the epic battle. ‘’If they have any case of corruption against any member of the APC, they should forward their evidence to the appropriate anti- corruption agency. But to take to the airwaves and the pages of newspaper to use their paid agents to launch a campaign against the anti- graft fight is to fight against the existence and survival of Nigeria. ‘’The danger in truncating the fight against corruption is that it will consign Nigeria to poverty, insecurity and unemployment in perpetuity. That is why we are restating our unalloyed support for the President, and urging him not to be deterred or distracted by those hiding under sophistry to weaken the fight,’’ the party said. It said those who are engaging in nitpicking on the anti-corruption fight are simply implementing a well-oiled plan to make enough noise by accusing the Buhari administration of being selective, and hope to create enough confusion and distraction to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians. ‘’We are glad that many Nigerians have lent their support to the government’s fight against corruption, going by their interventions on the social media, which has now become a people’s parliament of sorts, and other fora. We urge them not to relent in their support, irrespective of the antics of the naysayers,’’ APC said.

Lagos is a fascinating place but every Lagosian
knows that to survive, you must learn the
language of the street. Some of the slangs are
actually words of Yoruba origin but have been
blended into everyday conversation so think twice
before you say you’re not interested ‘vernacular’.
Below top ten street expressions common in
Lagos.

Twale
Twale is an exclamation that is used to show
respect to another person. In Lagos, saying Twale
is accompanied by raising the two hands and
raising a leg. That’s to show the person that you
accord the person some respect. In dangerous
situations, shouting twale can take you out of a
dangerous situation.Area boys are the king of the street.
In difficult situations learning to speak like them can save your life.

Eja
Eja is the Yoruba word for fish. In this case
however, the meaning is far from it. it is a slang
for marijuana and is a very common euphemism
employed by smokers. Therefore, you need to
think twice before accepting an offer of Eja as it
may not be Titus that the person is offering you.

Akube
If you see those guys and babes who parade
themselves in ‘fitted tops’ and frayed jeans, don’t
think they all do their shopping in those boutiques
in Lagos. Some of them know that Katanguwa
market is the place to get the best Akube. Akube
is slang for grade 1 second-hand wears.

Yaba Left
If someone asks you if you’ve been to Yaba left
or you plan to go there, the person is actually
talking about the psychiatric hospital ay Yaba.
The slang is used to mean you need to get your
head checked probably because of something you
did or said!

Radionic
A radionic work in his workshop in the floating slum
A radionic work in his workshop
Radionic sound like a word out of Merriam
Webster dictionary and its used as a professional
description of the person who repairs electronic
appliances like television, radio, DVD, etc. Nobody
cares what the real name is since Radionic has
been adopted in Lagos as the professional name
of the repairer of these appliances.

Agbero
That’s the name of the guy you see with his
trouser hanging loosely around his waist as if he
needs a belt. He might be brandishing a cane in
one hand and holding a bottle of gin in the other
hand. He probably has a deep baritone and his
base is the bus-stop where he collects (or extort)
money from commercial drivers. He probably has
an NURTW ID but that doesn’t change who he is.
He is an agbero and that’s what he does for a
living. Please don’t call him that name though as
you might be forced to see the stars in the
afternoon.

Igbo/Aba Made
That’s slang for counterfeit or substandard
goods. It however does not necessarily mean the
product was made in Aba or produced by an Igbo
person/company. Somehow, the name has been
adopted by Lagosians probably because the Igbos
have been known to be in the business of selling
copy-cat products in Lagos. No seller will
however tell you he is dealing in copy-cat
products so don’t go to the market and say you
need an Igbo-made shoe.

Aso-ebi
Aso-ebi is a Yoruba word that means ‘family
cloth’ but its usage is beyond that. It means the
cloth material that is made available to friends
and families to use uniformly during an Owamber.
Owambe.

owambe
That’s another name for a party, ceremony,
function, etc where food and drinks are available
aplenty. Owambe is a Yoruba word which loosely
means ‘it’s there’. That means something
wonderful or noteworthy is going on and you need
to be there. Lagosians love the opportunity to
flaunt the gorgeous aso-ebi and enjoy free meal.
The next time you get an invitation to attend a
wedding or burial ceremony, know it is going to
happen there!

Please feel free to add urs...

The mantra that the ‘Police is your friend’ is a popular, yet meaningless inscription you find in almost all police stations in Lagos. It is Only a JJC that will believe it. In fact, the sight of a person in uniform brings goose pimples to some Lagosians. Lagosians hate the police for many reasons but here are 5 reason Lagosians don’t consider the police as their friend.
1. Bribery and Extortion. Bribery is no doubt the biggest reason the police in Lagos is hated and has lost all sense of respect. Every police officer is viewed as a potential bribe collector. Some people with the means even break the law knowing that they can pay their way through. Lagosians feel that the toughest of police can be broken down by offering him a few Naira notes. This has made the police lose all sense of respect among the citizens.
2.Response 911 is the first thing that probably comes to the mind of any American in time of distress. Some Lagosians feel that the police never respond on time but only come after the storm has cleared. In a robbery situation for example, there is the popular belief that the police will claim they have no fuel but will come after the robbers have gone hours later blowing their sirens! 3. Crime The police is supposed to fight crime but some Lagosians feel police officers sometimes perpetuate crime. Some Lagosians feel the police support criminals with guns to commit crime and this has left a bad taste in the mouth of a lot of people. Whether this is true or not cannot be confirmed that it has been alluded to many times that a lot of people believe it.
4. Ill-Trained Officers Some Lagosians believe a lot of police officers are not well trained and therefore cannot trust them to handle situations. Some people suggest that the lack of professionalism in the police force is because a lot of renegade officers joined the force due to unemployment. People would rather handle situation themselves rather than involve the police.

5. Trust Trust, they say, is earned and not forced upon. A lot of Lagosians don’t trust the police at all and this is due to experiences they have had with the police in the past. These incidents have shaped the way people perceive the police making it difficult to believe any reformation is possible.in fact, some parents advise their children not to join the police force as it is the worst profession.
Conclusion The place of the police in a society is to serve and protect and the police in Lagos need to show the people that they are capable of doing this. The police must display a sense of willingness to work and shun corruption so that the dark cloud hovering over the image of the police will be removed and they can earn the applause and respect of the people
