Lagos tanker fire accident must have recorded more casualty than reported. 9 people were reported to have lost their lives and several others injured. Vehicles burnt total 54, as a matter of factly more than 9 people lost their lives. Reducing the number of casualties in order not to smear government integrity is not the way forward .Loss of one life is painful enough let alone 9 lives . The crux of the matter is that, has any lesson been learnt? What would the government do differently next time. Articulated vehicles are menace on our roads, strict measures should be deployed to control their activities on our roads

Killings of protesting butchers in Bodija abattoir was not necessary. Nigeria police force could douse tension without shedding innocent blood. Relocation of the abattoir to new location by the government was resisted by the butchers which led to violent protest and eventually death of two individual. Government action to relocate the butchers now is prejudicial since the case is still in court. Nigeria police should also know that using live bullets to disperse protesters is criminal and uncivilized.
The video of this young man who attempted suicide by jumping into the lagoon has gone viral. His utterances shows he is ready to park it all up, this was tragic.What could make a young man attempted suicide ?
. Lagos Lagoon is becoming more popular for the wrong reasons. In the spate of 1 month, minimum of 2 people have committed suicide by jumping into the lagoon. The recent incidents involve a student of Lagos State University who jumped into the lagoon in a bid to commit suicide but was rescued alive. Why do people prefer to die in Lagos lagoon? If the government could build a very tall barrier that would prevent people from diving into the lagoon, this would reduce the incidence. The water is being polluted, don't you think so?
Former F.C.T Minister Jumoke Akinjide would not want anything to toy with her freedom. She had since returned 650m naira back to EFCC . The fund was given to her for 2015 presidential campaign. Why is no one going to jail, if one is guilty of corruption, the fellow should not only refund, he should be jailed Until this is done, fight against corruption would not be holistic.
I was moved to tears when watching the video of how villagers in Plateau were running for dear lives. Women ran with their children, some women only escaped with their wrapper. A man lost one of his legs and he was in pain, he was carried by his friend. We could hear a gunshot at the background and a dead body was lying on the floor. After the dust settles 86 people lost their lives Children were not spared, many women have suddenly become widow. Where did we get it all wrong? Government is overwhelmed, I think the international community should come to our aids. An attack that lasted for several hours could not be stopped by security agencies The hoodlums had a field day killing innocent people . How many arrest has been made, we can not continue like this.
Killings in Plateau and other parts of the country should be stop forthwith,are we at war in this country? We can not continue like this, where are the security apparatus when all these killings are on going. Some people hide under the guise of politics to unleash terror on innocent souls.
It is sickening that aside from high level of insecurity, Nigeria poverty ranking worsens. 87 million Nigeria lives in extreme poverty and it has overtaken India with 73 million. A counry that is bless with oil could still be ranked as poor among comity of nations.Leadership problem, corruption, etc are the banes of our economic woes. Our resources is being plundered by few individuals that are occupying leadership position. I doubt if they have any sense of shame, ranking Nigeria among poorest countries call for total economy revamping. Past leaders are still interested in coming back to power, while they held sway, what did did they achieved?. Many of them suddenly became political millionaire overnight, some past governors were alleged to have stolen to the tune of billions of naira, may be someday things would change..
I was sad reading the story of how this young boy lost his life at FMC Lokoja. He was said to have been left unattended to after he suffered ruptured appendix. The surgical operation was delayed due to lackadaisical approach on the path of inexperienced doctors on duty. One of the reason life expectancy is low in Nigeria is because our medical facilities is in shamble. May the soul of Rapheal rest in peace. Nigeria someday would arise from slumber .
Plateau killings is barbaric, 300 cows were rustled and because of this gun men with sophisticated weapons invaded 11 villages and killed 86 people. Government seems to be helpless, how can 3 soldiers guarding some of these villages would not be overran by battalion of armed youths? The invaders are many, how come none of them has been brought to book? This are some of the questions begging for answer. There are speculations that this senseless killings is being sponsored by disgruntle politicians, government should attack the issue headlong and bring all these wicked sponsors to justice. Are we not tired of mass burying of innocent people? Government may be clueless on how to stop the killings.
Nigeria Super Eagles would file out against Argentina.The match against Argentina will be their last match in the group. Nigeria Super Eagles mauled Iceland 2 against zero to have an edge in the group. Our game against Argentina would determine whether we are moving into the next round of the competition or not. Argentina performance in this competition has been very poor, so they may want to exert pressure on us in order for them to save their faces from impending shame.
As it is the norm, there is no permanent friend and enemies in politics. One is not surprised that Obasanjo met with Afenifere to chart the undisclosed course. The meeting have in attendance key opposition to Obasanjo himself. Nigerians are wiser now, we know who is going to serve the interest of the masses Leaders of thought meeting should not changed our mind about who to vote for. For all I care, they all have their privileges to change the fortune of this country, but they failed.

The former governor of Edo State Adams Oshiomole will emerge as a consensus candidate during APC convention in Abuja. His emergence would reposition the party, the abysmal performance experience under the former chairmanship of Oyegun would be look into. Elected officials today would direct the affairs of the party as 2019 election approaches.
A popular pastor in Kogi was arrested for murder. He was alleged to have killed a prostitute and buried the torso in a shallow grave. The call girl was lured by two men from the hotel to an undisclosed location where she was killed. Inordinate ambition to acquire wealth must have caused this, the ritual would have brought good luck to the pastor, his congregation would have swell. Law should take it's course .
Ahmed Musa scored two goals to silence raging Croatia, it was a decisive match of some sorts to Nigeria Super Eagles after they were beaten by Croatia. For Nigeria Super Eagles, hope is rekindled as they may be fortunate to move to the next round, If Ahmed Musa was not benched in the match against Croatia we would have coasted to the next round of the competition without stress. By the time we meet Argentina in our last match and we are able to sustain the tempo, then the mystic pig predictions about Super Eagles will be moving towards becoming a reality
Revelation from a producer and filmmaker that female artiste that are successful could either be a prostitute or semi prostitute may not be farther from the truth. According to him, he said they are bad influence unto upcoming actress and actor. Founding fathers and mothers in the make-belief world conduct themselves with lots of decorum which is absent now. Successful artists in other clans may not need to sell their body before they become prominent. Hard work should be the secret to their success, anything outside diligence would not last.
The kind of politics we play here is frightening, politics of bile and destruction.People seeking political office are desperate, I ask myself what is the desperation. all about? For putting on PDP T-Shirt this young man was murdered by some political thugs that are loyal to the opposition party. Some youths have become tools in the hands of politicians, how many more youths would loose their lives because of trivial things like election. Is it not obvious that these unguarded politicians are selfish and they do not have interest of people at heart.
. There is always a day of reckoning, Professor Akindele would have known better that nothing in life is constant. After the news went viral that he demanded for sex in order to upgrade his student, his life had never been the same. Authority of OAU has dismissed him after thorough investigation, he was found to be culpable. Career of more than a decade just gone down the drain because of amorous feelings. There are more of his kind in our citadel of learning, someday their own chicken will also come home to roost.
People that must have been robbed by these six man gang would have mistaken them for policemen. They are well kitted in police outfit with police utility vehicle. The six man dare Devil armed robbers also double as kidnappers. How did they come about police uniform and ammunition in their possession? Kudos to police team that see to the arrest of these hoodlums.
. A truck carrying planks emptied its content on vehicles under the bridge at Ojuelegba. The accident was fatal, lives were lost. After this accident, a container fell from the bridge on some vehicles and many people were feared dead Any lessons learnt ? None I guess. It is obvious the truck that emptied his contents was overloaded. Most of the trucks that ply our road are accident going some where to happen. Accident like this is avoidable .
. Former governor of Oyo State Senator Rasheed Ladoja said he would not return any money to EFCC . According to the ersthehile governor, some people have returned money to EFCC, but he has no score to settle with the institution . There is a saying that he that alleges must prove .EFCC should prove to Oyo residents that their former governor has a case to answer . Though, It is a common knowledge that most of the past governors have integrity issues . Court of law would determine if Ladoja was guilty or not.
. Technology rule the world, imagine a world without technology. FIFA introduction of V A.R (video assistant referee ) is a step in the right direction. The center referee some of the time could make costly mistakes. Going down memory lane, Diego Maradona once score a goal with his hand and he called it hand of God. VAR would improve fairness in the round leather game Application of VAR made the referee to rescind his decision not to award penalty to Peru against Denmark. In the nearest future there should be further deployment of technology to add value to the most popular sport.
. It is an open secret that people that unleash terror on Benue citizens are not herdsmen in real sense of the word. Some arrested herdsmen confessed that politicians sponsors this unprovoked killings. Politicians armed thugs and they disguised as herdsmen to kill innocent people for political gains . The question begging for answer is this, how many of these criminals have been tried and convicted in a law court.. Sophisticated artillery are being use by these criminals.Government should publish the name of their sponsors the same way they publish names of looters, until this is done there is no solution in sight and also the offenders should be tried and prosecuted .
. Fashion differs from people to people, from one race to another race. Most of the time people put on what they are comfortable with. To the generality of the people decent dress should not be revealing. Upskirt is common now among some fashion conscious individual . Whether it connotes decency or not should be judge by people.
. As 2019 election draw nearer, we expect some renown prophets to reel out some prophecies as to who will occupy sensitive political positions. A prophet unequivocally declared that Atiku Abubakar will become Nigeria president come 2019. He also revealed who will become Ekiti State governor in July 14 election. God is all knowing but has he really spoken? Time would tell.
. Argentina did its best to overrun Iceland . Lionel Messi would not forget Iceland goalkeeper in a long while. After several attempt to put the ball behind the goal keeper, the match ended 1-1 What are the chances of Nigeria Super Eagles in this group? There are no under dogs in this group. We hope Nigeria win their match today.
In a bid to encourage Lagos residents to enjoy ongoing soccer fiesta in Russia . Lagos state government under the able leadership of Akinwunmi Ambode has provided 6 viewing centers for lovers of round leather game.. Nigeria Super Eagles would be filing out against Croatia.This match should be taken with all seriousness .
Accountability is a value that can not be relegated if we really want to experience development. Every politicians that occupy position of authority should be ready to tell the masses how they spend our commonwealth . It is not out of place for a past leader to give account of how 16 billion dollars was spent on power and there is no power. Nigeria would not experience meaningful development if we continue to spend recklessly. Also, whoever is found culpable of siphoning resources meant for development should be jailed. Two governors were recently jailed, the tempo should be sustained to stamp out corruption out of our system Law is not meant to be a resoecter of person.
. Inspector General Of Police intelligent team have arrested another Offa robbery suspect. Police have promised to leave no stone unturned in arresting all suspects involved in this dastardly act. Youths have no moral values anymore, they think making money at all cost is every thing. Nigerians are earnestly waiting to see the justice prevail in this matter. Many happy home has become sour, many women have become widows because some unguarded youths want money.

. As long as Police Service Commission would not recruit right candidates we will keep having incidents like this . A woman with her child straped to her back was molested by a policeman because she indirectly stopped him from collecting 50 naira from a bike rider. This unfortunate incidents happened in Ibadan, police have lost their respect. Beating a nursing mother is criminal and the police man should be dealt with.
Evans as he is popularly called may have suffer another set back. His counsel voluntarily withdrew from the case due to undisclosed reasons. Now that his lawyer is out, he may need to engage another lawyer to pursue his case. It is likely the lawyer withdrew because of intimidation from certain quarters . Evans was involved in kidnapping for ransom, an offence that is contrary to Nigeria constitution Many of his victims have come out to witness against him so there is overwhelming evidence against him.
This ritual killers was caught in a cemetery when he had already succeeded in severing the head of a corpse that was buried.Some human parts were also recovered from his poly bag.

She brazenly pour hot water on the husband after he asked her to explain why she came home late. The woman was arraigned in court for attempted murder, they both have four children in a union that have lasted for 13 years. I doubt if this man would still be interested in the relationship, domestic violence has been on the increase. It is increasingly difficult for people to tolerate their partners, having abusive relationship is like sitting on a keg of gun powder.
Russia 2018 started on a rather comical note. The match between the host country and Saudi Arabia ended on good note for Russia. It was harvest of goals , the first 15 minutes of the game was keenly contested . All of a sudden, Saudi Arabia mid field collapsed and defense was non existing . The goal keeper tried his best to parry many shots but he ended up conceding five goals. Russia has a good start but all is not over for the Arabia.
Trailers now park on our roads, these trailers are heading to Port, look at how they are stretched on our roads. These have brought untold hardship to Lagos residents, there is heavy traffic jam on Ikorodu road due to indecent parking of trailers on the road.

When former governor of Plateau State Chief Joshua Dariye was sentenced to 14 years by Federal High Court some few days ago, he shed tears and pleaded for mercy. Joshua Dariye misappropriated funds that runs into billions of naira when he was the executive governor of Plateau State. Corruption is a monster, corrupt leaders are vile.Money that is meant for development is being diverted by some group of people. The roads are bad, basic amenities are not provided, health facilities are in shamble yet billions of naira are budgeted on a yearly basis. Many women have become widow, some children are out of school because of poverty. The tears shed by the governor could not be compare with wailing of widow and men who have lost source of livelihood due to bad governance. EFCC should intensify effort to bring many past governors to book, everyone that erred should be made to pay for his sin.
Some men would look for every avenue to make money illegally, the holy book says the love of money is the root of all evils. He was arrested for running illegal blood bank, Paul claimed to be a Lab Scientist and he deceitfully lured children into his one room apartment in order to collects their blood. As at the time of arrest he was caught with several pints of blood. Paul would have to dance" palongo" music all alone.
Economic and Financial commission has been securing conviction of past governors who were alleged to have mis- appropriated their state funds. Former governor of Taraba State Jolly Nyame was sentenced to 14 years in prison without an option of fine for fraud. Plateau State governor Joshua Dariye is also going to spend the next 14 years in jail for similar offence. Nigeria criminal justice system is highly predictable when it affects the men of timber and caliber, where is Bala Ngilari? Bala was sentenced but he never serve the jail term. Our justice system has been reduced to toothless bull dog, it could only bite the poor.
NYESOM WIKE. APC leadership in Rivers State has accused his governor Nyesom Wike of planning to offset six months salary arrears owed by Ekiti States to civil servants. This gesture is to gain support from civil servants during July 14th governorship election in that state. If this allegation were true, then it only shows that politicians are toying with people emotions.Should they wait until election is near before payment of salary? Electorates should be wiser now, politics is business in our country and people should wake up to this reality and vote desperate politicians with their feet.
Could it be true that she committed suicide because of her adulterous lifestyle which was exposed to the husband? The story of the lady that dived into the lagoon in Lagos is pathetic.Story have it that none of the 3 children she gave birth to belong to the husband.

What is the way out of these incessant suicide act ? Almost on daily basis someone would end his or her life. Depression is one of the major cause of suicide, why are people getting depressed? A lady parked her SUV and jumped into the lagoon, this is rather unfortunate. Life is becoming increasingly difficult and people should learn to confide in someone.
Lagos state commissioner of police Mr Edgar has done well by giving marching order to three policemen that inflicted injury on a man at Chinese town Ojota. The three police officers accused the victim of being a Yahoo boy and in the process mal-treated him. Police authority under the able leadership of Mr Edga swiftly responded by trying policemen involved and they have been summarily dismissed.
Acrobatic display is a form of exercise, people chooses how to exercise their body. At times when people hear good news they may throw caution to the wind and display some acrobatic moves to show they are happy.

As pastors preach about tithing with emphasis .They should also let members know that not all tithes are acceptable to God.Sacrifice of a sinner is an abomination to God. Story of despatch rider who stole 14000 Euro and was determined to pay tithe from the loots is confusing . Holiness sermon is downplay, prosperity would take no one to heaven .Stealing to pay tithes bring damnation .
After police paraded gang of armed robbers that robbed 5 banks in Offa Kwara State, it was discovered that two members of the gang were not paraded. There has been increasing speculations that they might have been silence extra judicially. Micheal Adikwu and Opadokun were absent, Micheal is the arrow head of the group and he coordinated deadliest robbery attack that despatch 33 soul to journey of no returns. Police authority may need to carry people along, every one is following the investigation.
In mathematics you are asked to arrange in ascending order of magnitude. Could you arrange in ascending order of magnitude three politicians that claimed President Buhari is planning to frame them up? Hint ; Start from Dino Meleaye.
Does SARS police officers has the right under the law to shoot and kill innocent guys labelling them Yahoo boys. What sort of country is this ?

A young man was labelled Yahoo boy, and SARS police shot him, VIDEO HERE https://www.facebook.com/GossipMillNaija/videos/971724199700761/
The allegations of framing up leveled against the presidency is becoming embarrassing It started from Senator Dino Meleaye, he accused the presidency of witch hunting him because of his stand on some issues that are anti-Buhari. Leadership of senate also have score to settle with APC led government, confessions made by gang of armed robbers arrested indicted the senate president as their sponsor. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo outburst in the news revealed he had uncovered plan by President Buhari to frame and harm him. All allegations should be proved. .
Senate President Bukola Saraki who was alleged to be sponsors of Offa robbery suspects has written to the police to absolve himself. Nobody should be presume to be above the law, police has the constitutional right to invite anyone who is not immune from litigation. Since senator Saraki is not under immunity, writing to defend himself is unconstitutional . This is not one of the case that should be swept under the carpet, whoever is liable should be brought to book regardless of their status.
Nigeria police can be very agile and intelligent, more often than not they display high level of gross indiscipline. Playing game on duty is the peak of indiscipline, and this is one of the reasons why policemen are caught unaware when robbers strike. Security of lives and property is a serious business and it demands high levels of professionalism. It is rather unfortunate that men in black have perform below expectation, and they needs to be up and doing.

Hepatitis A is a viral infection of the liver that is commonly spread when people eat or drink something contaminated with fecal matter.

He sacrificed himself for our nascent democracy, he paid the supreme price with his blood. June 12 would linger in our memory for a long time, thanks to APC led administration, they have done well by declaring June 12 as democracy day. A former president failed to recognize role played by Chief MKO Abiola,, it is a cheering news that president from northern extraction remember Bashorun MKO Abilola effort to our democracy. Buhari has exceeded South West and generality of Nigerians expectation by this declarations, come 2019 his victory would be landslide.
. Every Nigerians has come to terms that freest and fairest elections in the history of Nigeria was won by Late MKO Abiola on June 12, 1993. The election was annulled by military Junta under IBB.

Why the move for President Buhari impeachment by the senate ? What offence did he commits. Movers of impeachment proceedings against the president hinged their reasons on the fact that President Buhari made some withdrawal without recourse to National Assembly. There was a timeline attached to the purchase of fighter jet which was sold to Nigeria by U.S.A. What is wrong with President Buhari action, security of lives and properties is the primary responsibility of any serious government. The impeachment proceedings would definitely fail.
Politicians employed them as political thugs, they are in their payroll.From political thuggery to armed robbery. They unleashed weapons of mass destruction on hapless Offa residents. Will the blood of the slain not cry? Will God ever forgive politicians that are mentioned ?
