This Present House Press Release

Re: Right of Way over its Premises

In the last couple of days, This Present House has been in the news, not in relation to what it is renowned for but rather over the right of way to its premises along Freedom Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.

The Church led by medical doctor and social entrepreneur Dr.Tony Rapu is well known for its acclaimed programs in social rehabilitation through Freedom Foundation and The God Bless Nigeria initiatives amongst others.

It is a humanitarian enterprise that has successfully taken many young men and women off the streets, off drugs and crime and turned them into responsible citizens of Lagos State.

This Present House and the Lagos State Government have enjoyed a robust and mutually beneficial relationship over the years. This has enabled the Church implement its multi-faceted programs, which have become a case study in Nigeria and abroad.

For more on these programs please go to www.freedomfoundationng.org

The Church (This Present House) which prides itself in citizenship development and leadership training, has quietly run these and many other programs over the years; the Bethesda School program offers full scholarship in its primary and secondary schools across the State for the indigents while Genesis House has successfully taken commercial sex workers off the streets of Lagos.

The Church has run these programs from its Lekki Phase 1 office for the past 15years. The right of way to this premises is currently being re-assessed by the Lagos State Government.

The Church will like to inform its congregation, well-wishers and the general public who have been anxious in the last couple of days following the discussion generated in the public space that it is in touch with the State authorities and avenues for a speedy resolution are being explored.

We believe that this would be achieved within the shortest possible time.

There are many challenges confronting our dear nation. It has always been the belief of the Church that religious institutions being trustees of the discretions and personal struggles of the people are necessary partners of government. The Church has no doubt that the issue at hand will be amicably resolved with Lagos State government.

The Nigerian Police Force has commenced investigations into the outrageous comments made by an alleged Police Officer, Inusa Saidu Biu on Facebook.

Inusa had threatened to kill 200 people if President Muhammadu Buhari dies, adding that the president was poisoned but survived. See the post below:

The statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), DCP Don Awunah read:

RE – POLICEMAN THREATENS TO KILL 200 NIGERIANS IF BUHARI DIES

The Nigeria Police Force has commenced investigation into the unfortunate Personal comments made by the alleged Police officer named Inusa Saidu Biu on his Facebook account. Police officers are not to make unauthorized public comments.

Meet Mariam Nabatanzi Babirye, the 37-year-old mother who has already given Birth to 38 children.

Mariam lives in Kabimbiri Village, Mukono District in Uganda and the villagers have already given her a nickname, Nalongo Muzaala Bana, which means “the twin mother who produces quadruplets.”

In what must be some sort of record, Mariam has six sets of twins, four sets of triplets, three sets of quadruplets and two single births.

In a recent interview with a Ugandan daily, she said:

“My father gave birth to 45 children with different women and [they] all came in quintuplets, quadruplets, twins and triplets.”

Mariam says her father had 45 children, many of whom came in quintuplets, quadruplets and twins.

Dr Charles Kiggundu, a gynecologist at Mulago Hospital confirms that Mariam may have taken after her father, as her case may be genetic.

He said: “Her case is genetic predisposition to hyper-ovulate (releasing multiple eggs in one cycle), which significantly increases the chance of having multiples.”

Mariam said she was married off at an early age and she gave birth for the first time at the age of 13 to twins.

She said she sought medical advice several times in a bid to stop having children but doctors advised her that since she produces so many eggs, it would be dangerous to her health.

However, Dr Kiggundu said Mariam was not well advised, because doctors could easily have performed tubal ligation as a permanent method of contraception.

Moreover, Mariam has a non-supportive husband who is rarely there for her and her children. Her eldest son, Charles Musisi, 23, confirmed: “Our siblings do not know what father looks like. I last saw him when I was 13 years old and only briefly at night because he rushed off again.”

As a parting shot, Mariam advised parents to never sell their children off to early marriage and men to look after their wives and children

Yesterday, A female first time visitor was left stranded in Lagos Nigeria, after an Uber driver robbed her of over a million naira.

The victim, who is a South African and has been identified as Mo (Mongy Mathobela), wrote:

“I’m a visitor in Nigeria. I went to the bank to withdraw money in Lekki, so he saw the money that I had it in my bag.

He left me stranded on the road luckily, I had my phone on me because I wanted to buy something on the side of the road. I even bought him food and paid him more than what he was supposed to be paid and inside my bag it was my passport and money 500k naira and $2000.

Please help me share this so that I can get my passport and go back to my country my flight is on Thursday I do not have a passport. Pls help.”

Now, the Uber driver has been arrested..

This exactly what happened plus all the SMS’ he sent his victim.

“He was able to drive off with the bag because she was to pick up a document from one Yemi in bakare estate,agungi and head to South Africa .so as usual she went into the compound and asked him (driver )to give her few minutes.by the time they came out he was no where to be found and he sent her a text saying he drove off to the nearby mosque to pee and he was coming right back but that was the end of the show before they realized he was gone for good.

Mo has been using the guy since she travelled down to Nigeria and she’s a very nice and generous lady.

she saw the guy as a young and cool guy and showed support to encourage his hustle.mo would give this guy 50 percent of whatever her fare came to and just last week she said he drove her to balogun or was it ogba and in the process someone picked his iPhone 5 and she had to give him 75k to get a new phone but he didn’t get an iPhone but at least he got a phone with an internet to sort his Uber directory and all.

she gets him food at every outing and made him comfortable.so,it was after the story went viral that his neighbor on the mainland alerted Mo through her DM TO COME TO a particular address on the mainland.then the neighbors alerted others to use cars to block the taxi so as for him not to be able to drive out because already he had packed his stuff.

Thats they were able to arrest him”
