The Lagos State Police Command has revealed its intention to begin security operations against the attacks of Badoo, cult group in Ikorodu hence, the need for residents to use their identity cards everywhere.
Just as the Nigerian Master of Ceremony (MC), Chinedu Paul was mistakenly lynched for a Badoo member, the Lagos Police Command ordered residents of Ikorodu to wear their valid identification cards to forestall future unfortunate happening.
The statement signed by the State Police Public Relations Officer [PPRO], ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole,yesterday, reads:
‘ATTENTION TO IKORODU RESIDENCE
The Lagos State Police Command would like to inform members of the public especially residents in Ikorodu and environs, that from henceforth, everybody moving around that part of the state, residents, students or workers, should always have on them a valid form of identification.
This has become important and necessary because of the series of police operations lined up in the area by the Lagos State Police Command led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations.
The Lagos State Police Command is deeply concerned about the criminal activities in the area which is not only unlawful but also affecting the integrity of the state.
The planned police operations demand residents carry on them a valid form of identification which will be verified, in order not to be restricted or face apprehension as adequate security arrangements have been put in place for the safety of every Nigerian throughout the state by the police and other security agencies.

Nigeria, Africa’s most crowded nation and home to more than 155 million individuals is amidst political, monetary and social shakiness. The north, focal and south eastern parts of Nigeria are the most influenced parts.
No wonder the country sits pretty comfortably on the 6th position of Africa 10 Most Dangerous Countries.
Killings in different forms has been the major headline in the last 8 Years. If it is not MEND it will be BOKO HARAM. If it is not HERDSMEN it will be KIDNAPPERS.
Tension fills the whole region and no where is considered save for habitation. Although, the efforts of the Nigerian Army is yielding the desired fruits as we were told sometime ago that these elements had been technically defeated.

Around mid-2016, a group called “BADOO” was reported to have carried out a bloodletting operation at an area called “Ikorodu”, in Lagos State.
Their modus operandi is to sneak in to houses at the odd hour or hijack a loosely closed doors. They hit their victims on the head with a grinding stone and soak their blood in their magical handkerchief.
The spate of Badoo operations in Ikorodu is becoming increasingly alarming and nobody knows who their next target will be.
However, looking at the name Badoo, one may tend to mistake it for one of the Nigerian finest Indigenous rapper, Olamide, who adopted the nickname ‘Badoo’ and turned it to a brand.
Olamide to lovers of indigenous Rap music needs no introduction. He is a musician who rose from nothing to become something. And he is never shy to remind his fans that he’s truly from the street (ghetto).
As people continue to mumble on what brought the name ‘Badoo’ for destructive missions, I ask : What Effect could Badoo Onslaughts Have On Olamide Badoo’s fan base and image.

Mide Martins maintained that she tries very hard in keeping her marriage affairs from the media.

The controversial Senator Dino of Kogi Central is hitting the media again with his eloquence and resonant speech.
The Senator with a favorite quote of. ‘if you lie, you die; if you speak the truth, you die” decided to speak to speak the truth according to him, the yesterday’s plenary session of National Assembly.
He called on the Senate President to question the activities of the executive arm of government over the continued refusal of the Presidency to sack Ibrahim Magu as the Acting Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
He said:
“It’s time for the Senate for the executive arm of government to stop playing blues and dance reggae. It is time to stop aprobating and reprobating’
“This republic that our founding forefathers like Olusola Saraki, Wabarra fought for is about to be completely desoiled.”
He charged the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to protect the power of the legislative arm of the Nigerian government.
He partly said:
“May it not be in the time of Saraki that the power of the Senate is being eroded.”
“Enough of bojuboju presentations.”
“It’s time for the senate to act.”
“The integrity of Senate is oppressed.”
“I hereby move a motion that it becomes abominable for the Senate to read another letter of the confirmation from the from the presidency be read until the Presidency until the powers of the Senate be recognized.”
“The inconsistency of the executive to choose what to do despite legislators’ rejection should be checked.
The Senate cannot be disregarded or insulted”, Melaye emphasized.
“Magu is not the last Nigerian Angel”, he ended on the case of Acting Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu.
In the video posted on the Nigerian Senate page this morning on Facebook, various people have now reacted to Melaye’s submissions. Some condemned the senator while some other celebrated him for his ability to voice out.
The Lagos State House of Assembly yesterday, passed a resolution to revive teaching of history in schools for nation building.
The House called on Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to direct relevant ministries and agencies of the state to revive and enhance the teaching of the subject.
The Assembly also called on the state’s ministry of education to brief the House committee on education on strategies needed to achieve the goal.
The Deputy Majority Leader, Olumuyiwa Jimoh, who moved the motion, said that there had been a decline in the teaching of history in schools.
“Our history and collective patrimonies should be taught in schools to address some of the fundamental issues on nation building and give us direction.
Without history, we are a lost race; it is through history we know our origin and tradition.
We need to resuscitate it and make its teaching compulsory. Without our history, there is no way we can develop,”.
Other lawmakers also decried the decline in history teaching in schools, saying that Nigeria had suffered much from the decline.
According to them, history is important for the socio-economic, cultural and political development of the nation.
The lawmakers decried the decision of the National Council of Education in 2007 that teaching of history was not necessary in schools.
The Chairman, House Committee on Education, Lanre Ogunyemi, said it was sad that history was no longer taught in many schools.
Ogunyemi said that subjects such as social studies, civic education and government could not replace history.
“The importance of history to mankind can’t be overemphasised because it helps us to remember the past and shape our future.
No one can kill history no matter how he tries. The earlier we bring back teaching of history in our schools, the better for us,”
In his submission, Speaker Mudashiru Obasa described history as a teacher. He said
History is like a teacher teaching us where we were, where we are, and the way to go.
It is to our own advantage politically, economically, culturally and others.
It is important to return history to our school curriculum.

Chimamanda Adichie
In a statement by Adichie, the writer said the workshop which would have been in its tenth year will not hold due to the withdrawal of its sponsor, the Nigerian Breweries PLC (NB PLC).
The statement reads:
”I am sorry to announce that the Farafina Trust Writing Workshop will be unable to hold this year, which would have been its tenth year.
Our sponsor, Nigerian Breweries PLC (NB PLC), abruptly withdrew their sponsorship due to a need to streamline their expenditure.
NB PLC has had a half-decade relationship with the workshop and I thank them for encouraging the development of literary talent in Nigeria and Africa.
In the years since NB PLC’s involvement, many alumni have gone on to confirm the promise they showed at the workshop.
My commitment to the growth of our voices has not wavered. Nor has the commitment of those who have worked to make this decade-long endeavour the success that it has been. We will take this time off to establish a new organisation and structure that will provide a more stable foundation for the workshop and other initiatives.
From the initial reaction of potential sponsors and partners, we are optimistic about the future. My thanks and best wishes to all those who have made enquiries about applying for this year’s workshop. The workshop will be back next year.”

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, who retired from the national team during the Sunday Oliseh reign as the Super Eagles coach has been sacked by the new Lille coach, Marcelo Bielsa.

The new manager was reported to have said that they are not part of his plans for the club.
Enyeama, who has 101 appearances for the Super Eagles just last season penned a deal with the club and has been reported to likely follow the lead of Tallo who said:
“As for me, I’m under contract. I will respect the two years I have left. I’m in no hurry.”
“I want to establish myself at Lille.
“It’s the club that wants me to leave. We’ll see if they find a solution between now and the end of the transfer window. I’m calm. It’s a bit bizarre, but I’m handling it OK.
“I was informed like the others, by text. We’re under contract, the club does what it wants.”
Tallo added:
“We would have liked to have had a discussion. But it’s a business choice made by the bosses. The club has already made some summer signings including Burkina Faso international goalkeeper Herve Koffi following Lille’s disappointing 11th place finish in Ligue 1 last season. Howevr African players such as, former captain Rio Mavuba, Eder, Julian Palmieri, Marko Basa, Éric Bauthéac, Lenny Nangis and Marvin Martin have been ordered to stay away from the rest of the squad as pre-season started on 3 July.”
Enyeama has made a total of 164 appearances for the club since he joined in June 2011.

At the plenary session which held yesterday, 3rd July, 2017, the Nigerian Senate outrightly condemned the comment made by the Osinbajo that executive appointments did not require legislative approval based on Section 171 of the constitution, which they interpret to undermine their legislative powers.
While the Acting President sent a letter to the National Assembly for the confirmation of Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, as the Chairman of the National Lottery Commission, the Senate refused ‘until the presidency recognizes the legislative powers.
at the plenary session
Senator Eyinanya Abaribe (Abia South)also moved a motion for the impeachment of Acting President Osinbajo, since President Mohammadu Buhari is on medical leave and the Acting President is in Addis Ababa for the African Union Summit and the country cannot be with no leader.
Senator Kabiru Marafa also supported the motion citing the constitution that “if the President is not around, the Vice President should act, and if the Vice President is not around, the Senate President who is number 3 citizen shoukd become the acting President.”
But, the motion was ruled out by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

“What an incredible talented artist I LOVE ED @teddysphotos deserves all our love and respect like all humans do. I wish all people on the internet would be positive and loving and apart of creating an internet community that is empowering, not hateful and mean.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki is currently the number one Trending Topic on Twitter Nigeria at the moment.. and this is for two reasons.
1. The Senators on Tuesday had tried to declare him as president of the nation.
Senator Eyinanya Abaribe (Abia South), raised a motion that since President Muhammadu Buhari is on medical leave, and the vice (acting) president Yemi Osinbajo is in Addis Ababa for the African Union (AU) summit, the country has no leader and as such Saraki should be declared president.
Senator Kabiru Marafa, citing the constitution also said, “if the President is not around, the Vice President should act, and if the Vice President is not around, the Senate President, who is the number 3 citizen should become acting President.”
Saraki however interfered and ruled Marafa “out of order”.
The senators had earlier turned down Osinbajo’s letter seeking the confirmation of Lanre Gbajabiamila, as the Director General of National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
It said that since Osinbajo had earlier reportedly said the Senate had no power to confirm nominees, it is subjecting the letter to deliberations.
The second reason is as a result of a series of tweets from @SaharaReporters’ account over a plot to stop Osinbajo from becoming president.

The Vigilantes called the police to take the suspect away, but before the police arrived, a mob that had already gathered were calling for her head. They were demanding for Jungle Justice to be carried out on her.
As the Vigilantes couldn’t handle the crowd, they took it upon themselves to take her to the police station. Unfortunately, the crowd were too many for them to control.
She was later beaten and burnt to death with her bag containing the list and juju ring.
A popular South African radio presented has been fired by the Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), for calling President Jacob Zuma a “zombie” in a Facebook post, the privately owned News 24 site has reported.
According to SABC spokesman, Kaizer Kganyago, he said OAP Ravi Govender’s contract was terminated because of concerns that he had brought the public broadcaster into disrepute.

Mr. Zuma’s son, Edward, accused Mr. Govender of hate speech and threatened legal action against him.
Edward was quoted saying
“We fail as a family to understand what prompted Ravi Govender to make such a statement referring to our father as a zombie. Is this still part of freedom of speech? We believe that this is the worst form of abuse of democracy that many of our leaders fought so hard to achieve,” .
