Angry tanker drivers block Lagos highway

Image
A tanker driver, by name Salisu Sani, was yesterday crushed to death at Oshodi. This happened when he noticed that law enforcement agents were about to impound and drive away his truck, and so he broke up his prayer and accosted them to inquire what was amiss. Demand by the driver from one of the officers behind the wheels to come down led to an altercation and a struggle in which he reportedly fell, while being beaten and crushed to death by their patrol vehicle. The LASTMA officials reportedly left the scene immediately. According to Mr. Sodiq Seriki, a welder, who claimed to have watched the incident when he arrived his workshop early yesterday morning: “I saw one of the LASTMA officers in mufti trying to drive the trailer forward, and the driver who came back from where he went to pray told the LASTMA to come down from the trailer but, he refused and as he went through the other door, one of the task force officers who came with...

Wenger blames poor weather conditions for Championship loss

Image
There are reports that three of Arsenal's biggest supporters groups are joining forces to protest about the continued trophy-less seasons at the club. Black Scarf Movement and Red Action are backing the campaign along with the Arsenal Supporters Trust to voice their anger at the way the club is run, with some of their frustration also aimed at boss Wenger. “We lost the championship at home against the lower teams, but we played at home in a very difficult climate,” Wenger said. “We have to realise that, away from home, we are championship winners. At home, against the smaller teams, we lost the league. “This club does have special values though and one I’ve experienced over the years is to stick together and support the team. There’s no success without that Arsenal only in fact have the third-best away record, behind Leicester and Tottenham. “Look, I can understand the frustration of our fans. But, despite that, they want to support our team. The best chance they can g...

10 bad habits that could destroy your relationship

 There are some habits that are really bad for your relationship and may cause your partner to leave you if you don’t stop them. Here are 10 of such habits; 1. Keeping score of wrongs / holding grudges: It is normal for people to make mistakes and your partner is not an exception. Nobody wants to be in a relationship with someone who finds it hard to forgive. 2. Trying to change your partner: You are not the Holy Spirit, so stop trying to mold your partner into what you want them to be. Think about how you feel when someone tries to do the same thing to you. 3. Comparing your partner to your ex: Nobody likes being compared. If your ex was that perfect you would still be with him. Stop the comparison else your partner may be forced to end the relationship. 4. Not giving them breathing space:  It’s nice to want to spend time with your partner and know what’s going on their lives but when it becomes suffocating it’s a problem. 5. Prete...

A Federal High Court sitting in Asaba on Friday sentenced an unemployed graduate, Paul Osita, to five years imprisonment for possession and distribution of fake drugs.

10 things ladies do to avoid sex with men they visit

For most ladies, there is this strong believe that men will always want to sleep with them when they pay them a visit either for the first time or thereabout. Going with such thoughts comes with actions as well and thus the following reactions are observed by these ladies. 1. Leaving the door open Ladies certain times request for the door of the guy to be left open or do it themselves as a defense strategy since it would be so difficult for a guy to try something funny or an easy escape route should anything try to happen. 2.  Wearing tight clothes Ladies see tight clothings as an armour which protects their bodies from easy penetration by men they visit.

Fulani herdsmen kill at least 48 people in Enugu community in Nigeria

Image
 At least 48 people have been killed and over 65 houses and shops have been put to flames by fulani herdmen in a fresh attack in Enugu community. The attack came two days after a security hint of an impending attack by over 500 fulani herdsmen from nassarawa state, leaving over 58 injured residents in the hospital. These herdsmen were said to have wielded grenades, AK 47 rifles as well as other dangerous weapons which made them powerful enough to have overpowered the team of soldiers and mobile policemen drafted in the area. The Commissioner of Police, Nwaodibo Ekechukwu who visited the area urged the people not to take laws into their hands as measures were being taken to prevent future attacks. A worker at Bishop Shanahan Hospital confirmed that 30 bodies and 22 injured persons were received by the hospital in the morning hours. The menace of these Fulani herdsmen has thus become worse than Boko Haram and President Buhari has been called upon to do something to stop th...

Hookers sighted at Chocolate

 Chocolate which was opened in Choba this year around February has managed to maintain the feat of being the centre of attention. It spots a bar, supermarket and a small club which keeps people coming on daily basis. It is mostly crowded at night with its largest number being comprised of young adults. It is a good place for fun seekers but certain people with a different lifestyle prefer other neighbouring bars. This is because fun-driven youths have the habit of overcrowding new places like this but how long before they find a better and new...

Mysterious fire burns down popular brothel near Catholic Church

A popular brothel located near a Catholic Church in Choba has been gutted by fire. The brothel, which has thrived for years within its location was erased by what people described as 'HOLY GHOST FIRE' This is not far from the truth because on countless occasions, the hookers here have mocked the Priests of God by dancing outside in panties during mass processions such as Palm Sundays and other Catholic events. Reconstruction is in progress yet we await another divine stunt because such businesses should not be sited around places of worship (the church).
