Lagos State Government shut the popular auto spare parts market, Ladipo Market in Mushin




The Lagos State Government today shut the popular auto spare parts market, Ladipo Market in Mushin area of Lagos, southwest Nigeria. Ten suspected Bakassi boys were also arrested during the closure of the market.
Officials of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit stormed the market as early as 4.00a.m  and shut it because it was filthy.

Hundreds of fully armed taskforce officials  led by its Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, a Chief Superintendent of Police besieged the market and shut it down, with thousands of traders shut out. The traders were dispersed by taskforce officials with several canisters of teargas.

PATIENCE JONATHAN: GREED, CORRUPTION AND UNBRIDLED AMBITION




Why spend five hundred million naira on a thanksgiving party? Why allocate 4 billion naira to a white elephant project in Abuja. Why lobby, and then accept the Permanent Secretary position in the Bayelsa State civil service when you knew you were not qualified for such an appointment? Why engage in a public quarrel with your predecessor over a public land deal in Abuja? Why lie to the nation about your medical condition and secret treatments overseas. Why the bombastic statements, and the supercilious attitude? What’s the immoderations that have come to define you?” The questions are almost endless. But this has been the ways of Patience Faka -- the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Nigeria grants bail to Russian arms smuggling suspects



LAGOS, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Fifteen Russian sailors charged with illegally bringing weapons into Nigeria last year were granted bail on Monday and released until a hearing in early April, a Lagos court ruled.
Nigerian authorities intercepted a ship and arrested its Russian crew on Oct. 23 after they found several guns and around 8,500 rounds of ammunition aboard.
The Russian sailors have pleaded not guilty and the Moran Security Group, the Russian company that owns the confiscated vessel, has said the ship had permission to carry arms, calling the accusations "groundless".

Countries will start to shoot down US drones - exclusive interview with Rick Rozoff ( MUST READ)




"The US and its NATO allies, and its NATO allies are, we have to recall, all the major colonial powers that had formally divided up and ruled the African continent: Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, later on Germany and Italy, also Turkey during the Ottoman period, and this is a force that is not going back to supposedly restore order or pacify Africa again. I am sure the Africans on the ground, if not their governments, are nervous, they recollect what happened the last time these guys were there."

The world is just starting to take notice of the expansion of US drone usage worldwide. US drones are becoming increasingly larger, deadlier and greater in number (now at approximately 8,000) and pose a threat to world peace. In addition for NATO’s AFRICOM and the US, Mali is important due to its strategic location near uranium reserves, hence the recent military operations in the country, which are characterized as another “energy grab” by Voice of Russia regular contributor Rick Rozoff.

Another one claimed O'Brien made an inappropriate approach after night prayers. The four demanded O'Brien's immediate resignation.
O'Brien denied the allegations and had been expected to continue in his post as archbishop until mid-March, when he was due to retire at age 75 but he resigned today.

I’d have Become Head of State if I Wanted –Domkat Bali



General Domkat Bali (rtd), one-time most senior military officer and prominent player in Ibrahim Babangida’s military presidency but now the Ponzhi Tarok, says he never became head of state because he rejected the position.
Excerpts: After serving in the military for three decades, how well will you say you have adjusted to your new life? I am yet to adjust to it. I have always been a very free person in the sense of going where I want to go to and doing what I want to do and no restriction whatsoever. In this traditional setting, there are too many restrictions, too many don’ts and dos and the don’ts are more than the dos.
What is the major difference between serving in the army and now being restricted to your palace and the community? The major difference is the restriction. In the army, nobody restricted me. I would go to the office in my uniform and do my normal work. When I return home I change from my uniform and live my life like anyone else. I am no longer that free.
