Ptimes: The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, on Monday confirmed the arrest of two persons, including a pastor, for allegedly being in possession of fresh human parts, which they concealed in two bags.

The commissioner said the pastor and his accomplices were arrested on Saturday and were currently being detained at the State Criminal Investigations Department for further investigation.

According to him, fingers, heart, liver, kidney and intestines were all concealed in two bags, which were discovered during a stop-and-search operation by policemen from Ikotun Police Divisional Office.

Mr. Manko disclosed further that two bottles, filled with what was suspected to be human blood, were also recovered from the suspects.

The commissioner also said the police have commenced investigation into the killing of an Assistant Superintendent. of Customs, who was allegedly shot dead by his colleague on duty post.

The Police chief, who confirmed the incidents to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said the suspect, a Deputy Superintendent. of Customs, was being detained at the state Criminal Investigation Department.

However, NAN investigation at the department revealed that about eight persons, all customs personnel, who were on duty with the deceased on Saturday when the incident occurred along the Lagos-Badagry highway, had been invited by the police.

NAN gathered that the police had also requested for the release of the vehicle containing the contraband the deceased and his colleagues wanted to impound during the shooting.

[quote author=Ìyániwúrà123]-CARLOS SLIM HELU
He might be called Slim but this guy is neither slim in size nor wealth. Enter Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, the Superboss of all Billionaires.

1-He makes about $30 million per day (that's almost N5 billion naira).

2-The 1st Mexican to top the list and the first from the developing world, he is worth an eye-popping $78.1 billion. To appreciate this, he can spend N200,000 every minute for the next 100 years before finishing his money.

3-He lost his wife of 33 years, Soumaya Domit Gemayel (see images on the website below) in 1999 to kidney failure, and has not remarried since. Their marriage produced six children (three sons and three daughters). He described his wife as the love of his life and he learnt a lot from her about sculpture and painting. Their honeymoon was full of gallery visits. (Try that with a regular Nigerian gal if e no go red for you...lol!)

4-First named the world's wealthiest in 2007 when he surpassed Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, he has been ranked by Forbes to be the richest man on earth since 2010. At a time, he gained $23 billion in just 14 months. That's like double of Dangote's wealth -in just 14 months! Before he broke the jinx, Americans were the world's richest for sixteen years. Something tells me Dangote may emerge the richest man on earth in a decade or two.

5-Born on the 28th of January, 1940 in Mexico City, he is 73 years old and his parents were originally from Lebanon before migrating to Mexico.

6-He is a Maronite Christian. Across the globe, Maronites number just about 3.5 million. They are called thus because they follow Saint Maron, a 5th-century Syriac Christian monk who spent all his life on a mountain in Syria. He taught miraculous healing and Christian monotheism. Like many other minorities in a wicked world as ours, Maronites have been persecuted over time, with over 50,000 of them being massacred in the 1800s.

7-Interestingly, the world's richest man has some modest sides: he drives himself always even though his convoy of bodyguards closely follow, he lives in a not-too-spectacular six-bedroom house for the past 40 years, and is a mile from his office, a simple building. He says he doesn't need a bigger house and asks in Spanish-accented English: 'What I do with a house 10 times bigger?' In a big house, you don't see your family, never. You don't meet each other. My wife and me try to have this family, to, ehn, to live together, convivencia, I don't know if you say that in English. What for you want a big space? What for you need a big space? NB: Convivencia is the Spanish word for 'coexist'.

8-He has no interest in luxurious superyachts or palaces scattered across the globe and for most of the 1990s, he was using a plastic calculator watch (it doubles as his calculator). He doesn't indulge in designers but confessed he has a weakness for expensive Cuban cigars and of course, fine art. His arts are said to worth $6 billion but funnily, he has a debt of $1.5 billion.

9-He does not travel widely and has no home outside Mexico, something he is very proud of. He stays up late at night reading history books, especially about the legendary Genghis Khan and his art of deceptive warfare. And he never overpays for anything. At a time in Venice, he haggled with a store owner for hours just to get a 10% discount on a tie.

10-He is crazy about baseball, supports the New York Yankees and has a vast knowledge of the games and player statistics.

11-He is unassuming and rebuffs criticism saying: "I think sometimes when you are successful in business, you have others trying to turn public opinion against you because they are trying to compete with you." He says money is not his goal and becoming the richest in the world is not a competition. He just wants to be a good businessman.

12-He also said that he has no interest in being the world's richest, that making money is not his goal. He has a surprisingly simple strategy for making money: buy up undervalued companies cheaply and build them into powerful monopolies (why am I thinking of the Oracle of Omaha here?) Of course, he enjoys broad support from the Mexican government and is a good friend of the President (scratch my back, I scratch yours too!). When the Mexican Revolution broke out in 1910, Slim's father bought the companies of his rivals who were fleeing the violence at very cheap rates and by the time the dust settled, he was many times richer.

13-Today, he owns the largest companies not only in Mexico but in all of South America. One is America Movil, the 3rd largest mobile network operator in the world, providing services to almost 252 million subscribers in 18 countries. That makes him the Adenuga of Latin America, which also brings to mind an interesting thought: if Mike Adenuga of Nigeria can control all of Africa's telecommunications, he can easily become the richest man on earth. #OwoBabaIjebu!

14- He is also into mining, banking, insurance, railways, bicycles, hotels, construction, drilling, airlines, tobacco, cement, retail, restaurants and printing. Mexicans joke that he owns every cactus (a type of desert plant) in the country. He also owns a part of New York Times, Firestone and Citigroup (owners of Citibank). In short sha, he controls over 200 companies (he says he has lost count) and plans to replicate his success on a global scale. Adenuga, buckle up o!

15- He was taught business practices by his dad, and by 12, he had already bought government bonds and shares in a bank in Mexico. He later proceeded to the university to study civil engineering while also lecturing algebra and linear programming (a mathematical discipline that includes knowing the best outcome of an event, also related to the concepts of maximum profit or lowest cost). He keeps costs as low as possible. His dad (who later died when he was 13) also taught him the art of book-keeping, record-keeping and how to read financial sheets, a skill that would be with him for life.

16- He owns the Carlos Slim Foundation, which built the $70 million Museo Soumaya, a private museum in honor of his wife (see images in the website below). The museum, covered with 16,000 pieces of hexagonal aluminum sheets to reflect the sunlight, was designed by his son-in-law, holds over 66,000 art pieces worth over $700 million and these include works of Da Vinci, Rodin, Van Gogh, Dali and Monet. That reminds me o, do we have a national museum in Nigeria with 50,000 art pieces? I'm not sure, just asking. His foundation, found in 1986, has been endowed with $4 billion and it focuses on health, sports and education.

17- Like other billionaires, he has come under fire and has been criticized for being a ruthless monopolist (but seriously, can anyone become a billionaire or stay one without being aggressive? Forget the baby face of Adenuga jooor...lol!). His company controls 90% of the landline market in Mexico while he has also been accused of charging some of the highest fees in the world. His wealth is equal to 5% of all of Mexico's economic output in a year (it was 7% at a time). Now, that's more than a small slice of pizza. Critics say his domination has prevented the growth of smaller companies, decreased labour wages and increased unemployment where 50% live in poverty but he responds: "When you live for others' opinions, you are dead. I don't want to live thinking about how I'll be remembered."

18- His extent of influence is perfectly captured by the Telegraph UK: The reach of his dominion is so large that the average Mexican will wake up on sheets bought from a Slim-owned store; buy their morning bread from a Slim-owned bakery; and drive to work in a Slim-insured car. They will call friends on a Slim-owned mobile phone, lunch at a Slim-owned restaurant, and smoke Slim-owned cigarettes. It is little wonder that the country is referred to as “Slimlandia”. Well, is Dangote not doing the same thing to us? LOL!

19- He is a philanthropist but when Bill Gates and Warren Buffett pledged to donate at least 50% of their charities, Slim stubbornly refused to follow suit (akagum aye..lol!). He said: "But why half? Why half? I think it will be a big mistake that companies like Microsoft, Apple, the leaders of the world in technology be sold by the founders to put the cash to fund charities. They shouldn't. It's more important that they continue to manage the companies." He didn't stop there: "(Bill) Gates has to study how he can (fight poverty) in the same way that Microsoft...succeeded in business, because charity has not solved the problem." He bluntly stated that he has no intention of retiring from business to focus on charitable activities.
"It's based on my conviction that poverty is not fought with donations, charity or even public spending, but that you fight it with health, education and jobs." "Poverty isn’t solved with donations," he once said, stating that building businesses is often more beneficial to for society than "going around like Santa Claus." (Do you agree?)

He also said: Wealth is like an orchard - you have to share the fruit, not the trees. With the orchard, what you have to do is make it grow, reinvest it to make it bigger, or diversify into other areas." Me I kuku trust Naija billionaires, they will give they all they have to charity without blinking an eye...lol!

20- He left control to his sons and sons-in-law to run the major arms of his business after a heart surgery. Talk of keeping it within the family. That reminds me of Alhassan Dantata, the greatgrandfather of Dangote and the richest man in West Africa told his kids shortly before he died: they should marry within the family. So dude, forget that your dream of marrying Dangote's daughter...lol!

21-He has no computer in his office and prefers to keep his records in carefully-written notebooks. (I thought someone would die in this era without a computer...lol!) He has a personal laptop but he doesn't like using it. He says: "I'm a paper man, not electronic."

22-He has been described as being avuncular and talkative. But hey, watch it, he can also lose his temper quite easily. For now, he is still untouchable in Mexico, and according to one government official: "When Slim dies, we can finally regulate his kids." His kids also studied in Mexican secondary schools and universities and did not go abroad to get their degrees.

23-Although Slim has many technology-based business empires, he agrees he does not understand how the technologies work. When he was asked a technical question in March 2007, he responded with courtesy: 'Senorita, I have no idea what you are talking about'.

24. He has the largest private collection in the world of the works of French sculptor Auguste Rodin.

25-He said he learnt some of his secrets of spotting opportunities early by reading Alvin Toffler's book, Revolutionary Wealth which he thoroughly read, jotted down, heavily underlined and made comments inside his own dog-eared copy. He is now very good friends with the author. Many people today would rather perish in poverty and ignorance than read or gain any form of tangible knowledge. Just saying.

sadeiyare: When Solomon Komolafe, a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Winners Assembly, Ibadan, Oyo State, set out for church on February 4, 2013, he was hale and hearty.

But the church was thrown into chaos when Komolafe slumped after leading the congregation in a prayer session and died right on the altar.

https://edge.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Komolafe-360x417.jpg
Komolafe

Komolafe died nine months after one of his daughters lost her life to an auto crash in May 2012.

One of the children of the deceased, Funsho, told PUNCH Metro that Komolafe’s death was shocking and unbelievable.

He said with his father’s death, it had become double calamity for the family.

Funsho, who responded to our correspondent’s questions via electronic mail, said the 69-year-old pastor did not have any terminal ailment.

He stressed that he and other members of the family had yet to come to terms with the sad incident.

He said, “My father, Pastor Komolafe, popularly known as Jack Solo, slumped right on the altar.

“The incident was immediately after he led the congregation in a prayer session. He slumped and died on the spot.”

Funsho said the night preceding his father’s demise, he (Komolafe) had spoken at length with his daughter, Seyi, in the United States.

He added, “Komolafe did not have last moments since he died unexpectedly. But the night before his death, he had a long telephone conversation with Seyi, his son-in-law and grand children in the US.

“He also spoke with Biodun, his son in Lagos and they discussed at length about the Super Eagles”

Funsho said his father was a product of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, with a degree in English and Philosophy as well as Post-Graduate Diploma in Advertising and Office Management.

Funsho eulogised his father’s virtues, saying he was a disciplinarian, industrious, compassionate, philanthropic, pious, accommodating and exemplary leader.

He said Komolafe, an indigene of Ikere Ekiti, Ekiti State, was survived by his wife, Adewunmi and three children: Oluwafunsho, Abiodun and Oluwaseyi.

He said Komolafe will be buried in Ibadan on March 8

MC Dumexx: From time to time, new invention(s) emerges. Its has from old consistently developed from the greatest invention- Human beings to shelter, clothing, gaming, medicine, chair, table, fire, electricity, mirror, ink, paper, pen, skyscrapers, telephone, radio, Tv set, typewriter, braille, computer, shoes, chandelier, air-plain, cement, Kama sutra (you disagree with kama sutra?), cigarette, beer, wine, gin, soda, indomie, golden-moore and the list goes on.

The sequence of inventions may not necessarily be as listed but alot has been said about which is due to be the best invention so far.

However, my subjective view sees the telephone (cell-phone) as the best invention so far.

[quote author=Mr.T Anonymous]The Federal Government of Nigeria has concluded plans to collaborate witha safety organization toinstall surveillance cameras in all the major highways across the country. This isin a bid to curtail violationof road traffic laws and ensure there’san eye out to see when criminal activities are being committedon our highways.
A Memorandum of Understanding,MoU, would therefore be signed this week between the government and Risk and Accident Prevention Society of Nigeria, RAPSON in a move that will bring about theinstallation of 10,000 units ofsmart cameras and 13,000 sets of memorycensors on thenation’s highways.
Chairman of RAPSON, Mr Ben Koko Odohofre while speaking ton newsmen in Abuja said the organization was set to employ 300,000personnel to work on the project.
RAPSON is an organization with the objective to save lives andreduce the toll of injuries and death resultingfrom accident and violence on roads.
According to Odohofre, a committee comprising the State Security Service, SSS, the Nigeria Police, Vehicle Inspection Officers, VIO, and Federal Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Justice and Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, would work with the organisation onthe project.
The Chairman/CEO said the company as a player in the private sector,would source the funds whilegovernment would enforce the project.
“Government would fine offenders whilethe percentageof money realized from the fines wouldbe shared between government and RAPSON. However government would provide its agencies which would drive the project. The police would arrest the offenders whilewe are asking the police for 5,000 men,” hesaid.

Upon inspecting it was found out that it was a tanker explosion. (thank God, i thought it was a bomb) So far no other information has been released and the death toll is very low, Sadly i couldn't get a good shot with my phone.

fagin1982: After three months of intensive training at the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, Zaria, the first batch of the 2,000 Dangote graduate drivers have completed their programme. The Advert was advertised on the honigerianjobs website and National Dailies

The graduates who were issued with certificates and automatic employment into the Dangote Group of companies were very excited during the ceremony which took place last Friday at the NITT Zaria, Kaduna State.
A statement from Dangote Group said that the Director General the institute, Alhaji Aminu Musa Yusuf, said the Graduate Driver scheme is the first of its kind in Nigeria.

He said of the 100 shortlisted, 96 were able to make it to the end of the programme,adding that the programme was delivered in partnership with the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and Federal Vehicle Inspection Office (FVIO).
He said the ‘super’ drivers have the advantage of becoming members of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, which is the lead professional body for the regulation of logistics and transport practice worldwide.
Group Chief Human Resource Officer, Dangote Group, Mr. Paramjit Pabby said the graduates were selected through a rigorous process.

He said the aim was to make Nigerians safe on the road, adding that “as graduate drivers, you are expected to run our newly formed super fleet with a professional touch, putting into practice all that you have been taught here.”
He said a female driver is among the graduates and that six other ladies will join her in the next batch.
“The scheme also envisages a competitive salary made up fixed basic salary plus incentive based on trips and safe driving. Based on conditions, the drivers will have the opportunity to own trucks in the future,” he said.

In her speech Nigeria’s first female commercial pilot and rector of the Nigeria College of Aviation Technology, Captain Chinyere Kalu, said the training programme was part of Dangote’s Corporate social responsibility scheme and a response to road safety which poses threat to peoples’ lives and businesses.

Kennyblues: Tragedy struck on Wednesday, as senior legislative adviser to Senator Mohammed Saleh and a former staff of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Kaduna, Mohammed Ibrahim Matazu, lost his life from severe burns he suffered when his wife set him ablaze. It was further learnt that the deceased had a domestic quarrel with his second wife, who allegedly complained that he was spending too much time with his first wife in Kaduna.

Saturday Sun gathered that Matazu’s second wife, simply called Mummy, had complained bitterly as her husband was preparing to travel to Kaduna, saying that she would no longer bear her husband’s long absence from her in Abuja. Sources revealed that in an attempt to stop her husband from travelling on that day, she allegedly drew some fuel from a generator set, emptied it on her husband and set him on fire at their Gwarinpa residence, Abuja.

Matazu, already aflame, was said to have rushed out of the house, shouting for help. He was rushed to hospital. He died at the Ahmadu Bello Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Shika, Zaria, where he was later referred to, where he died on Thursday. According to the deceased’s younger brother, Engineer Magaji Ibrahim, “on Wednesday last week, my elder brother called me that he was coming to Kaduna from Abuja to represent Senator Mohammed Saleh at a meeting with the NNPC in Kaduna, and that the senator was travelling to Imo State for another engagement.

So on Thursday morning, I saw missed call on my phone, and I called the number back, only for the voice at the other end asking me if I was Matazu’s brother, and I said yes. “He now narrated to me what happened to my brother, saying that my brother rushed out of his room with fire all over his body. He said that neigbhours rescued him, adding that my brother’s wife came out of the house and, taunting my brother, she asked: ‘what can you do now?’ That was at about 9 am on Thursday.

“When neighbours asked my brother what happened, he said his wife that poured petrol on his body and set fire on him. It was at this point that the neighbours now grabbed the wife, and called the police to arrest her. They all left for the police station with her. She is simply called Mummy. “My brother too followed them to the police station, even with pains all over his body. It happened in Gwarinpa, Abuja, and the day he was preparing to go to Kaduna for the meeting.

He was later rushed to Zone 3, Wuse hospital. He was briefly treated there as his body was bandaged. But according to the doctor’s report, 77 percent of his body was severely burnt, though he was speaking and discussing with people. “Then the senator came and met us, and advised that we should take him to the National Hospital, Abuja, but by the time we arrived the hospital, they said there was no more bed for admission. Then we went to University of Abuja Teaching hospital, in Gwagwalada, only to be told that they were on strike.

It was at this point that we begged for an ambulance to enable us take him to 44 Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna. When we arrived 44 Hospital at about 10 pm, they started treating him, but we later moved to Giwa Specialist Hospital, and from there we took him to Ahmadu Bello Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Shika, Zaria based on the advice on doctors at 44 Hospital. “The doctors at Shika, about seven of them, tried their best and treated him, and my brother was actually responding to treatment.

He was passing stool normal, and he even told me that he will survive, that I should not be disturbed. But at about 4pm on Wednesday this week, one of my younger brothers called me and said, we should take heart and pray to God that Matazu had given up the ghost. So he was buried on Thursday this week at Kudenda burial ground. “The wife said she poured him the petrol because he was over staying with first wife in Kaduna. But my brother was always in Kaduna because of the assignment the senator gave him to do, that is borehole projects. So he used to spend 10 days before going back to Abuja.

He was going round the seven local governments to supervise the boreholes project the senator is embarking on in those areas. “And he was spending almost five days in Abuja before coming to Kaduna again. But the wife continues to complain that he did not spend enough days in Abuja. She was the second wife. He married her about a year ago, but she has no baby yet. The first wife gave birth to six children.

She is currently being detained at Wuse police station. We have nothing to say; we have left everything to law to take its due course.” Reacting to this, Senator Saleh said: “Ibrahim Matazu was a very pleasant and friendly personality. He contributed a lot to the development of our party, that is Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and in my legislative duty he did his best to contribute to the smooth running of my office.

He was actually the pillar of the office. This is a plain murder case; it is a case between the state and the accused. His wife, who committed this heinous crime, is in police detention now and I intend to follow through to ensure that justice is done. I don’t know if this case is a bailable one, but we will ensure that justice is done; we will do it.”

Senator Saleh, a retired Major General, who is representing Kaduna Central Senatorial zone on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), engaged Matazu as his senior aide soon after he won the election. Matazu also worked at Nagarta Radio, a Kaduna based electronic medium, after his short stint at FRCN.
