http://ift.tt/eA8V8J By Joseph Undu There was drama at the Lagos State Police Headquarters, Ikeja, recently, when a lawyer (names withheld) openly accused his client of plotting to kill his opponent. The lawyer, who claimed to have spent about 27 years at the Bar, alleged before bewildered policemen attached to Inspector-General of Police Tactical Squad from Abuja, that his client gave him N200,000 with a promise of giving him more after assassinating his opponent, a Lagos-based businessman. Police sources said the revelation came up while the IGP’s team was interrogating the businessman based on a petition written by the General Manager of a micro-finance bank. The businessman had earlier dragged the General Manager of said micro-finance bank to the Federal Anti-Robbery Squad, Adeniji Adele, Lagos, alleging that the banker diverted his $140,000 after a business transaction. He further alleged that he instructed the bank to transfer the sum to his business partner in China in 201...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Land Acquisition: WRITING on the Ilaje situation in Lagos, Ajose Kudehinbu, former Head of Service of Ondo State and prince of the Ilaje Aheri kingdom who spent his early childhood in Lagos, recalled that one of the several places Ilaje had occupied and which he visited with his father, growing up then, in the city was ‘Agege-Odo’, now Akoka and present site of the University   of Lagos from where the original Ilaje occupants were evacuated to establish the University. He remembered how his father who died years ago at   96, and a Baale in a Lagos suburb stated that “when he got to Lagos, the whole of Ebute Meta to Apapa was water, with the Ebute Meta end notorious or famous for its many   crocodiles that the Ilaje like to bait and hunt down, then and elsewhere, even today. He lamented in conclusion,   ‘’the decision of the Ilaje to concentrate all attention on their fishing occupation along the coast, rather than move upl...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J By Olayinka Latona T HE Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev. Alfred Adewale Martins has renewed his call on President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently consider restructuring Nigeria on the path of true federalism. Addressing journalists on the state of the nation during a press briefing organised to mark 58th birthday anniversary at the Holy Cross Cathedral, Lagos, the archbishop said that the way the country is currently being run, would stifle development, adding that Nigeria needs both political and fiscal federalism for rapid development. In his words: “Recently, I did join my voice to those calling for the restructuring of this country. Judging from the fact that restructuring was one of the major promises made by the APC government during its campaign ahead of the 2015 presidential elections, one wonders why nothing concrete has been done in this direction. Let me reiterate here that I still believe that a major restructuring of this country to ensure tru...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J By Femi Fani-Kayode “Our country is about people that God put together”- Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, 8th June 2017. I am sorry Mr. Acting President but I humbly and respectfully disagree. We must not use God’s name in vain. Worse still you have based your assertion on a false premise. I am afraid that you got it completely wrong. The truth is that our country is about people that the British, not God, put together. They did not just put us together but they rigged the system and designated those of us from the south and Middle Belt as slaves and “rich wives” whilst the core north were designated as the master race, the slave-masters and the “poor husband”. Since then the people of the Middle Belt, the northern minorities and the south have been bruised, battered, raped, sodomised, cheated, humiliated, ethnically cleansed, subjected to genocide and hatred, hopelessly marginalised and turned into servile and grovelling serfs in their own country by invaders ...
