Prediction of 236days heavy rain in Lagos, 2012

No one can forget the effect of the heavy downpour of last year, it was so bad that many lives were lost and properties destroyed and now there is a prediction of rainfall in Lagos AGAIN! This time 236days! this sounds really bad O!

Photos of last year's rain

 
The Commissioner-Tunji Bello said: “The natural phenomena that controlled 2011 rainfall are still in force and as such it has been predicted that rainfall will commence from Thursday, March 22, with a margin of error of four days. To a large extent we will agree that this prediction is true as the rains have started in Lagos. It has also been predicted that the end of the season for 2012 is November 12 with a margin of error of two days; with between November 10 and 14 as probable days. The total length of rainy season for the year is approximately put at 236 days with a margin of error of two days. Like last year, Lagos will experience heavy rainfall with serious intensity.”


He further assured residents that the government had designed programmes to manage the expected rain water and minimize flooding through exercises such as massive clearing of drainages, dredging of primary and secondary channels, lining of many earth channels and the introduction of resident drainage maintenance officers in local councils in the state. The effects of last year’s rain on Sunday July 10, 2011 which lasted for about 15 hours still brings unpleasant memories to those who witnessed it. Some houses and cars were completely submerged in water and the flood got into people’s home in ways they never wished for. The floods showed the poor condition of drainages and the state’s unpreparedness for heavy rainfall.

Honestly I was expecting to read or hear that we need not to worry that every loop holes that made many lose lives and properties have been taken care of 100%, so that we as citizens can go about our daily lives without fear of these 236days rain prediction. Do you agree?

N4.56 billion meant for thousands of pensioners former director of pension buys lots of property with it

Some pensioners have not been paid for the past 10years yet one man acquires properties worth N4.56billion, is this wickedness or what?

Dr.Sani Teidi Shuaibu,is standing trial over a N4.56 billion pension scam in the disbanded Pension Unit in the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

In what can be described as one of the biggest fraud investigations on an individual by the Commission, the Federal High Court in Abuja granted an order permitting the Executive Chairman of EFCC to seize and retain custody of Dr Shuaibu’s properties.(two choice buildings and four filling stations)

This country we do really have money,if the Federal Government decides to give each citizen 1million to start up whatever they are good at as source of livelihood,there will still be more than enough left to develop the country..... Abi no be true my people?  :)

The killing of Trayvon Martin- 26th February 2012 because he was wearing a hoodie.

Trayvon entered the estate to visit someone, the watchman saw him, he was black, he was wearing a hoodie, to him that seemed suspicious, and so he started to follow the boy. There was a confrontation; Trayvon gets two bullets to the chest.

This is the video dedicating it to Trayvon’s death by Chaka khan titled: FEAR KILLS, LOVE HEALS

The picture of Tayvon and his killer

Details of how he was killed

Zimmerman was on his way to the grocery store when he spotted Trayvon walking through his gated community. Trayvon was visiting his father's fiancée, who lived there.

He had been suspended from school in Miami after being found with an empty marijuana baggie. Miami schools have a zero-tolerance policy for drug possession.

Zimmerman called police and reported a suspicious person, describing Trayvon as black, acting strangely and perhaps on drugs.

 Zimmerman got out of his SUV to follow Trayvon on foot. When a dispatch employee asked Zimmerman if he was following the 17-year-old, Zimmerman said yes.

The dispatcher told Zimmerman he did not need to do that. There is about a one-minute gap during which police say they're not sure what happened.

Zimmerman told them he lost sight of Trayvon and was walking back to his SUV when Trayvon approached him from the left rear, and they exchanged words. Trayvon asked Zimmerman if he had a problem. Zimmerman said no and reached for his cell phone, he told police.

Trayvon then said, "Well, you do now" or something similar and punched Zimmerman in the nose. Zimmerman fell to the ground and Trayvon got on top of him and began slamming his head into the sidewalk, he told police. Zimmerman began yelling for help.

Several witnesses heard those cries, and there's been a dispute about from whom they came: Zimmerman or Trayvon. Lawyers for Trayvon's family say it was Trayvon, but police say their evidence indicates it was Zimmerman.

One witness, who has since talked to local television news reporters, told police he saw Zimmerman on the ground with Trayvon on top, pounding him and was unequivocal that it was Zimmerman who was crying for help.

Zimmerman then shot Trayvon once in the chest from very close range, according to authorities. When police arrived less than two minutes later, Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose, had a swollen lip and had bloody lacerations to the back of his head.

Paramedics gave him first aide but he said no to going to the hospital. He got medical care the next day. Zimmerman was never arrested by police. They took his statement and let him go. He claimed he had acted in self defense.

New developments have surfaced in the case, including a new witness who came forward suggesting that Zimmerman pinned Trayvon face down after the shooting and did nothing to help him.

According to Mary Cutcher on Dateline NBC, she and her roommate both saw Zimmerman "straddling the body, basically a foot on both sides of Trayvon's body, and his hands pressed on his back." Mary Cutcher told Dateline NBC’s Lester Holt in an interview: “It sounded young. It didn’t sound like a grown man is my point. It sounded to me like someone was in distress and it wasn’t like a crying, sobbing boo-hoo, it was a definite whine."

Cutcher added that Zimmerman told her and her roommate to call the police. "Zimmerman never turned him over or tried to help him or CPR or anything," Cutcher said.

 What did I just read? really sad story. Meanwhile Zimmerman has not be arrested.....Is this racism or what?

Hope he is brought to justice soonest.

It was reported that Titus Ime trailed Blessing John to her father’s farm and raped her to death.

Titus claimed that he did what he did because Blessing refused to date him. This is what Titus said” I just moved to Lagos from Akwa-Ibom State to look for a job,my uncle is married to her elder sister. "As soon as I set my eyes on her, I fell in love with her but I kept it to myself.

When I could not bear it anymore, I went to her to declare my love for her but she turned me down. I kept pestering her but she refused blatantly that she did not love me; this made me angry.” Titus added that despite Blessing’s refusal to date him, he had to device a means to force her to have sex with him. “I did not intend to kill Blessing but my feeling for her was very strong.

So after monitoring her movement for some time, I discovered that she goes to the farm to uproot cassava in the evening with her father. That day, I trailed her from her house to the forest. She was alone and she did not know I was following her, when she got into the dense forest and there was no one in sight, I ran ahead of her and grabbed her, and started declaring my love for her but she turned me down. "I was very angry and I grabbed her dress. She started struggling with me but I took a big stick and hit her on her head, she slumped immediately and I bend down over her and removed her skirt and had sex with her. All this while, she did not respond but I still had sex with her a second time but I do not know that she was dead; I thought she was just unconscious.”

 After committing the act, the suspect hid in the forest for four days. He however came out of his hiding when he could not bear the hunger anymore, and reported himself to his family who then handed him over to the police for prosecution. Blessing’s corpse was discovered by her father and has been deposited at a public mortuary for autopsy, while the case has been transferred to the Homicide department at Panti, Yaba for further investigation.

Mtschewwwwwwwww!Love ko!,love ni!

Lagos state to Spend 1 Billion Naira on Bola Tinubu's Birthday

Can someone tell me this is April fool in advance! Is this for real?

Reliable sources told SaharaReporters that Mr. Tinubu, a professed opposition figure and leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), made it compulsory that the chairmen of all local governments under the party contribute cash to give him a birthday that one of his critics has described as “obscene and immoral.” In all, the ACN chieftain has asked the state and local governments to cough up N1 billion.

Seriously?

“The birthday party is being planned as a month-long affair and will be celebrated in phases,” said one source.

 In addition to the funds from his state, Mr. Tinubu has also asked that the governors of Oyo, Ekiti, Edo and Ekiti make significant cash donations to the planned events. Our sources revealed that tension may be brewing between Mr. Tinubu and Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State over the latter’s refusal to contribute towards the lavish birthday party.

Mr. Ajimobi recently hosted President Goodluck Jonathan's wife, Patience, during her visit to Oyo State. A source close to the governor told SaharaReporters that Mrs. Jonathan told Mr. Ajimobi not to create enmity with PDP elements in his state. She reportedly described former Governor Tinubu as a closet member of the PDP. Our source said Mrs. Jonathan, who was piqued by Tinubu’s recent criticisms of her husband’s policies, also revealed that Mr. Tinubu has met secretly with her husband on several occasions. She said that, at one such private meeting last year in France, President Jonathan and Tinubu struck a deal to quash a case against the former governor for violations of Code of Conduct provisions.

After portraying Mr. Tinubu as a selfish politician out for his personal financial interests, Mrs. Jonathan told Ajimobi to contact her directly if he needed anything from Mr. Jonathan. A source in Oyo stated that Governor Ajimobi’s decision not to bankroll Tinubu’s birthday extravaganza may signal the governor’s determination to escape from under Mr. Tinubu’s tyrannical style of leadership within the ACN political orbit and Ajimobi's move to start a gradual migration back to the PDP. Ajimobi is generally described as a non-performing governor by Oyo indigenes. Although Mr. Tinubu claims to be 60 years old, a source told us that he is at least 67 years old.

60 year old American woman marries 26year old Nigerian man

Photo of Daniel Ukoko (26years) and his bride in Warri

Hmm! Do you blame this marriage on the Nigerian economy? Because the rate at which young men are getting married to white women who are old enough to be their mother is alarming……
 

This new trend not appealing I must say!

Men are not born players?…..Nollywood/Hollywood (One of Most difficult professions to sustain a lasting man/ woman relationship.

As a boy, he listened to his mother’s advice which were “treat your woman right,respect her, don’t hurt her,your father might be a polygamist but you shouldn’t, love and cherish her and she will love forever.

 

With that advice at back of the man’s mind…..He gets into the university or gets to the age of having a woman in his life, he heeds to his mother’s advice with such innocence…. he believes this is woman that will be his confidant, best friend, wife and the  mother  to his children. Then one day to his shock& horror his first love/lady breaks his heart…., then he moves on to the next lady…Hoping she will be different from the first……Unfortunately history repeats itself…in his mind he still believes in his mother’s advice and went for the 3rd relationship yet another sad news, the lady breaks his heart, then and then his mother’s advice became questionable to him and he refused to be confused. From that moment became a different journey for him with women….calling it the last straw…..

To him all women are the same,”I will have two girlfriends/women at the same time, if one breaks my heart, I have the other one to fall back on, and at no point in my life will I have just one girlfriend in my life” When it’s time for him to get married he tells himself “I’ll simply settle down with 'THE ONE' I think meets my personal preferences”
Hmmmm!  Could his personal preference mean “NO WAHALA”?

Is this the reason why we have marriages last for only 6hours (Rudolph Valentino& Jean Acker marriage. 72days (Kim Kardashian and Christ Humphrey marriage).

 2face Idibia has Six children from different women& now he is about to settle down with‘THE ONE’ that has met his personal preference

(ok you can over look that question).

Is that the reason why……….. (As stated above)…Nigerian women ranked as the most unfaithful women in the world?

Difficult to answer right?.....personally,I think the statistics above is not true or do you think othewise?

Tiger Woods For The First Time In More Than Two Years Wins PGA Tour Event

Yesterday 25/03/2012 Tiger proved to us that he might not be the best husband but he is good at what he knows best-GOLF.At the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, FL. He shot a -13 and won by five strokes.

It was Woods' first PGA Tour win since the 2009 BMW Championship in Chicago. Woods won the Chevron World Challenge last December, but it's not a PGA event and Tiger is the host of the event and always donates his winnings to his own charity.
 

The past few years had been a tough one for him, he  fought injury and even fought a recent book about him and guess what... Tiger Woods is back…..The Tiger we know when it comes to Golf…

Congrats Tiger, you keep it real

JAMB is it a classic case of ‘Survival Of The Fittest’?

24th of March, 2012, on Saturday, 1.5million students sat for JAMB to gain admission into tertiary institutions across the country.Good News right?

 But here comes the clause…Professor Dibu Ojerinde(JAMB registrar) said  days back, that the admission capacity across all tertiary institutions in the country is only 500,000.

So what happens to the remaining 1million students (who have been studying really hard to excel and look further to gaining admission from their brilliant performance? Let me phrase the question, if 1million students make above the required mark that JAMB need, what happens to them since JAMB admission capacity is only 500,000 students?
