Governor Adams Oshiomhole apologizes over comments to a widow

Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo today Friday November 29th apologized for the comments he made to a widow in Benin during an inspection tour on Mission Road, in the state capital, a fortnight ago.

Oshiomhole said that he now regretted the comments which had become the subject of discourse in the social media. The Governor said that he made the comments in anger.

The governor’s apology was made when the leadership of the Federation of Muslim Women’s Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN), paid him a courtesy visit in Benin. Continue...


He noted that though the challenge of modern times had bestowed on the shoulders of some women and single mothers the status of bread winners of their homes, such should not be used as an accuse to flout the laws.

The Governor urged the Muslim women leaders to use their offices to propagate the essence of healthy living among children and women in the nation and the need to maintain proper sanitary conditions in their neighbourhoods.

Oshiomhole lamented that the challenge of widowhood had also exposed children to different temptations, adding that there was the need for society to be careful, to avoid unwittingly creating more problems for the nation.

He noted that money was not the best thing that guaranteed ones happiness, “but honesty and selfless service.

The Governor added that if Muslims and Christians were adequately committed to their religious doctrines, the world would be a better place.

Gov Fashola said Stella Oduah’s armoured cars will buy 51 police patrol vehicles'

During the 7th annual Town Hall Meeting on Security held in Lagos, Governor Fashola said the two BMW cars bought for Stella Oduah will purchase 51 patrol vehicles for the Nigerian Police.

"It is sad to know that the Federal Government that allocate three patrol vehicles for one state police command of 370, 000 police men, is unable to resolve how N255 million was used to purchase 2 saloon vehicles for one officer. It is a very grave irony. The cost of average vehicle needed to patrol the state is just N5 million. And with such fund, we will have put at least 51 patrol vehicles on the road, patrolling the streets of Lagos.”

"In spite of all this, they resist the idea of a state police. The money from the fund was in the last one year used to provide vehicles for the Nigerian Prison Service, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, National Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC and indeed the airport wing of the Nigerian police, is funded from this money. And it is the same aviation ministry that manage the airport that we had this very odious car scandal of N255 million.” (PM News)

The reason I have never been to Nigeria until now was because of my parents, US rapper Wale

In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale said the reason he's never been to Nigeria until now was because his parents, who are both from Ondo state, were so poor they couldn't afford a bring him home.

"I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects. Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly, to my family that wasn't really... you know...like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm not going to save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn't what I was thinking when I was that age. And then I was in college and the money tight right then.

Just too sad! Nigerian man killed by a lorry after storming out of car during row with his wife

Daily Mail reports  

Nahinmu Nicholas had stormed out of the Ford Focus with his suitcases, saying he was going to hitch-hike to Heathrow, but was knocked down by a lorry in the morning darkness.

His wife had pulled over on what they both thought was the hard shoulder of the M25, not realising that it was a live lane because of roadworks. A coroner was told that lorry driver Martin Hook was unable to avoid Mr Nicholas as he suddenly caught sight of him.

His 13-tonne bread lorry also struck the couple’s car in the accident just six minutes after they had stopped on the clockwise carriageway of the M25 at junction 6 for Godstone,  Surrey, at around 4.30am on April 10.

Florence Olokun-Ola told the inquest in Woking, Surrey, that her husband was going to Nigeria alone for 12 days and that the fight started because she wanted their bank card while he was away. ‘The argument became very aggressive and his voice changed,’ she added.

Healers in the making By Kehinde Dacosta-Lawrence. A must read

Read this lovely article by Kehinde Dacosta-Lawrence and I just had to share it. Reason being my thoughts  exactly
Read on....
 So you have the gift of healing, you travel all over announcing you will be at such and such a place, asking people to come and be healed for a small fee.
 Hmm, some will pay you in the back before you go on stage, some will send you gifts afterwards and those with nothing to give? Hmm...you make sure that you don't show up for 'free'...you stand on stage with a funny smile, while you display all manners of drama, waving your arms while people fall under the so called anointing you have; you bring some on stage and show off some more, pushing them, sorry, laying hands on them, so they fall into the ever secure arms of your workers, all this with lights and cameras on hand to document your performance...ok, cool! 
Here's my thing,

 if you are really so gifted, how about you just lay your hands on the wall of a hospital and watch the sick come out healed and if the wall is too thick, then why not walk through the wards and watch the sick get out of their beds, you don't have to be noticed nor do you have to wait for a standing ovation or credit per their miraculous healing. 

Remember, there is not a mention of CHRIST being given a dime after HE healed anyone, rather, HE bestowed additional blessings, like sins being forgiven etc. Please if you are willing to do this, I would even help to raise money for a private jet to make sure you can get to the hospitals without glitches...≈KDL®™©2013 (This is not a mockery of real gifted people, who are doing it daily with no cameras nor wanting to get the credit or glory, kudos to you)

The Delta State-born model cum actress bared her mind to The Entertainer recently. Excerpts:

Tell us about you growing up, how was it like?

My growing up was blissful. I had the best mother and a caring father; I went to a very
good school. They tried to give me everything so that I wouldn’t lack. So, we are very comfortable.That means you were born with a silver spoon?

Yes, I was much pampered; it was when I got into acting that I started experiencing hard times. I never had to hustle or struggle for anything. When I was growing up, I had everything I wanted at my beck and call. That’s why my father never wanted me to work. They felt acting was a poor man’s job, but I didn’t understand the glamour behind television. I didn’t know there was something more challenging and more difficult behind it. When I got into modeling I found out that it wasn’t easy.
