Many residential buildings in Ikotun-Egbe on the outskirts of Lagos have been converted to hotels and inns because of the presence of the Synagogue of all Nations Church, writes ’NONYE BEN-NWANKWO Mr. Joseph Sunday, who resides at Egbe in Ikotun Egbe, Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos, last Saturday looked every inch a worried man. The expression on his face showed a man whose inner recesses are preoccupied with worries. Indeed, the 40-year-old father of five, who our correspondent saw at a property agent’s shop, is having an accommodation problem. His landlord at Bolungberu Street on the Isolo-Ikotun Road, has given him a notice to vacate his house in the next six months. So, Sunday’s anxiety was not only on how to secure another accommodation for his family, but also how to raise the needed money to do so. He also has to meet his landlord’s deadline if his belongings would not be thrown out of the compound. Securing and paying for accommodation in Lagos is no ch...

It was gathered that the pastor whose case had just been transferred from the Ekiti State Magistrate Court to the state High Court was granted bail in July after being remanded in detention for about three months due to his inability to meet his initial bail conditions. The new church, which he started in Ikoyi area of Ikere-Ekiti was said to attract a lot of people, having succeeded in taking away many members of the church where he pulled out. The girl, Oluwadamilola who until her ordeal was an SS1 student of a high school in Ikere-Ekiti, gave birth to a baby boy on May 26, while the man was still in detention, over the matter.

El-Rufai A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has described President Goodluck Jonathan as a drowning President, who distorts facts. El-Rufai, in a statement on Wednesday, insisted that Jonathan had resorted to ethnic and religious politics to score some political points. The President’s spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, on Sunday described el-Rufai as “a serial liar” while responding to an interview the former minister granted  Liberty FM, Kaduna, on Saturday. El-Rufai, in the interview, said Jonathan was playing religious and ethnic politics. The former minister, who, on Wednesday, insisted that Jonathan was playing the ethnic game, noted that the Presidency had not addressed issues he raised on Saturday. He said, “It may interest the President to know that Nigerians are much wiser now and will not be deceived by the antics of a drowning president and his desperate aides.” El-Rufai, for instance, said Jonathan favoured his hom...

Nigeria Police Nigerian policemen are deeply involved in unlawful activities and lose their lives every day because of that, the Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) of a Police Zone 6 Command, Mr. Jonathan Johnson, has admitted. He also acknowledged soaring corruption in the Criminal Investigation Department (CDI) of the Police Force. He made this statement during his visit to Akwa Ibom State Police Command in Uyo on Tuesday. The AIG further lamented, "If you investigate our men, you will discover they are armed robbers. They are not contented with what they have. "We go to the road to extort money from people, engage in illegal business, and liaise with armed robbers." He, however, warned police officers who engage in criminal acts: when caught, they would be dismissed. "No criminal has lived in his criminality and has never been caught. If you want to live in palava, you will die in palava." He went on alleging that police officers sold ammuni...

'Independence Day celebrations too 'sacred' to be changed'   NAGPUR: Change is the only constant thing in life, goes a saying. But this does not seem to be the case with the Independence Day celebrations in our schools. For nearly as long as one can remember, the routine has remained the same. Flag hoisting, national anthem, garlanding of the portraits of national heroes, and then speeches, parades and cultural programmes in varying order. Flag hoisting, national anthem, garlanding of the portraits  of national heroes, and then speeches, parades and cultural  programmes in varying order. Most school heads are of the opinion that the 'customs' followed on this day are too 'pious' to be changed. "The order in which these things are done have always remained the same, and will remain that way. It is because the flag is the most important symbol of our nation, and it comes first. So, saluting it is fir...

The state governor, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, who paid an unscheduled visit to the state Staff Training Centre, venue of the exercise, said “if you can’t read, what do you teach the pupils, what do you write on the board?” Chairman of the state Nigeria Union of Teachers, Mr. Patrick Ikosimi, who was also at the screening to monitor the exercise, said that the woman’s failure was “an embarrassment.” On arrival at the centre, the governor took time to peruse some of the teacher’s credentials and documents presented.

Minna— There ap-pears to be no end in sight to the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, in the country as Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala declared, yesterday, that the nation’s economy cannot accommodate the demands of the lecturers for now. The minister spoke while delivering her keynote address at the opening ceremony of this year’s National Council on Finance and Economic Development, NACOFED, in Minna, Niger State, yesterday. Okonjo-Iweala She said that if other sectors were to be adequately and urgently developed, less emphasis should be placed on recurrent expenditure, especially salaries and allowances of workers. According to her, “at present, ASUU wants government to pay N92 billion in extra allowances over and above their salaries. Though we are in discussion with them, the problem is that the resources to take care of the demands are simply not there.” She said that with the p...

IN yet another bizarre occurrence, suspected members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, have reportedly gunned down 44 people praying in a mosque in Borno State. Agency reports on Monday indicated that the killings occurred on Sunday morning at a mosque in Konduga town, about 35 kilometres outside Maiduguri, the Borno State capital city.

The state security agent spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to reporters. Musa and the security service agent said the attackers wore military camouflage...

ABUJA— PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, admonished Interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, to stop being ill-mannered and hypocritical. He said the APC chieftain should respect his age and Nigeria. The President was responding to comments attributed to Akande, weekend, that he was a “kindergarten” leader who treated national issues with levity. In a statement by Dr Reuben Abati, President Jonathan’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, entitled: “President Jonathan to Akande: Respect the truth, your age and Nigeria,” the president said it was sad that Akande was denigrating the exalted office of the President of Nigeria. Bisi Akande and Goodluck Jonathan Noting that he was yet to declare whether or not he would seek re-election, which he was constitutionally entitled to, he asked Akande and leaders of the APC to resolve their internal leadership problems arising from alleged ambitions of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and  Gen...

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has offered President Goodluck Jonathan to go to court if he felt discredited by the description of his presidency as a ‘kindergarten presidency’ by the Interim National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande. The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a statement issued in Accra on August 12, 2013, said Chief Akande merely told the truth by his characterization of the Jonathan presidency, adding ”Isn’t truth a defence to libel?” It also said there was nothing strange or wrong in criticizing a democratically-elected President, after all he is neither an Imperial President, a Monarchy nor an Emperor. APC said nothing confirmed Chief Akande’s assertion that Jonathan is running a kindergarten presidency than the crude manner it (presidency) responded to the frank but constructive criticism by the APC National Chairman. “In the true character of this presidency, its increasingly irreverent and undignified spokesman f...
