Goodbye: Relocation of Ikeja Computer Village
As a follow up to the story on the relocation of Ikeja Computer Village, our correspondent, during a visit to Katangowa Market, along Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, gathered that Katangowa is the proposed site where the Ikeja traders may be resettled. In terms of size, Katangowa is bigger than the Computer Village, as the market covers about 26 hectares of land with most of the traders dealing in second-hand clothes.
Katangowa shows a vivid picture of a disorganised setting. While the major entrance to the market from Lagos-Abeokuta expressway is almost taken over by street traders, a large portion of the market has been overtaken by refuse. During the visit, some of the items seen on display in the market in large quantities were clothes, bags, shoes, curtains, belts and other textile materials.

Soaps That Restore Vírginity, Gels That Push Up Hips
This one is for the ladies – I heard about a store in Dubai, UAE that sells products that can get you the kind of curves you’ve always dreamt of. You want one like Jennifer Lopez’s or Nicki Minaj’s? You could get Shakira’s for less than Dh60 (about N1,100).
It wouldn’t have been so cool telling you about this if I didn’t know most of you ladies are dying to shop in Dubai if you haven’t-most of the ladies I’ve met lately are regular Dubai shoppers.
The shop, Dragon Mart sells ladies’ products ranging from a Dh25 vírginity soap that promises to tighten muscles, to a Dh60 (about N2570) gel that claims to push your ‘hip up’, dozens of dubious products are selling like hotcakes at various outlets of the ladies’ shop.
“Our vírginity soap has honey extracts and is very effective,” said a salesperson suggesting it be used at least twice a day to get its benefits in about two weeks.

As senators, we stopped impeachment crisis between Obasanjo, Anyim – Durojaiye
Senator Biyi Durojaiye in this interview withADEOLA BALOGUN speak on various issues
The way you reel out dates and details of events does not portray a memory of an 80-year-old, what is the secret of that?
God’s grace is the first secret of what you have observed and what many people have also observed. People say I look younger than my age and that I look strong and virile, it is God’s grace. Another contributory factor is inherited good genes. My father was a very healthy person and he lived to nearly 87 and my mother too was a very healthy woman and she lived nearly 92 before she died. The other one is Spartan discipline; I am not an angel because I too had my fun when I was younger but I avoided excesses. The number of beer bottles I have taken in life can be counted on my finger tips.
It’s unfortunate Akinjide said Yoruba aren’t marginalised –Olajide
Publicity Secretary, Yoruba Unity Forum and former Secretary-General, Yoruba Council of Elders, Dr. Kunle Olajide, speaks on the perceived marginalisation of the Yoruba, nationhood, federalism and more in this interview with AKINWALE ABOLUWADE
The Yoruba Leadership Forum is crying foul over the perceived marginalisation of the South-West. What warranted this?
The bone of contention is that we sincerely believe that injustice in any part of the country is injustice in Nigeria. If any section of Nigeria is treated unjustly, it is injustice to Nigeria. We believe that we have been treated unjustly by the present administration. We have been deprived of political and career appointments even in the ministries, departments and agencies. What appears to be a systematic elimination of Yoruba race has continued to worry us. This was why we had to shout and bring it to the open that the injustice must not be allowed to continue.
Buhari will concede to any APC presidential candidate – Okechukwu
In this interview with OZIOMA UBABUKOH, a former governorship candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change in Enugu State, Osita Okechukwu, speaks about the All Progressives Congress, its plans to oust the Peoples Democratic Party, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential ambition, among other issues
Is the sole aim of the All Progressives Congress just to grab power?
The sole aim of the APC is the provision of welfare and security, which Nigerians have been denied in the last 13 years by the PDP, a political party with the philosophy, ‘Food is Ready’ and motto: ‘Share the Money.’
Many Nigerians are of the opinion that there is no ideological difference between any of the political parties, therefore, the APC is a gang-up with the aim to grab power.

Many Nigerian graduates need retraining –Deru
Femi Deru is a former president of the Lagos State Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In this interview with SIMON EJEMBI, he talks about issues relating to employment such as mismatch of skills
The International Labour Organisation recently published a report which says skills mismatch is affecting job creation. How does this happen?
Before you can have a skill, you must have gone through some training and that training requires you to have either been in a university – training to be X, Y, Z. If you are a doctor and you are looking for a job, you go to the hospital. If you are a specialist, for instance, there may be a mismatch for you because you may not get the type of job you need in Nigeria because of the special skill that you have got. That is an example of how the problem of a mismatch of skills may arise.

A team of three cardinals were asked by Benedict to verify allegations of financial impropriety, cronyism and corruption exposed in the so-called VatiLeaks affair.
