Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / OH NO : 20 New Distressed Buildings Marked For Demolition In Lagos |
on: 19-07-2013 11:30 PM
| Following the collapse of a storey building in Ebute Metta area, this past week, which killed at least eight persons, 20 new buildings in Ebutte Metta, Yaba Local Coucil Development Area, LCDA, have now been identified by Lagos State Government to be distressed and marked for demolition. Disclosing this yesterday, during a sensitisation and awareness campaign by the agency in Ebutte Metta axis of the state, Managing Director of Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA, Mrs. Abimbola Animashaun, said: “Since the commencement of the enlightenment exercise today, we have identified about 20 buildings, apart from the one that we have identified before. “Out of these, we have identified five that should be demolished completely because they can cave in soon. We have issued several appeal to the owners of these buildings, to conduct Integrity Test, IT, on the buildings but they weren’t yielding. “Last week, we were in Lagos Island and this week is Lagos Mainland, to tell the residents about the need to alert the government whenever they discover any distressed or building under construction that doesn’t have any signboard to show that the state government was aware of the construction. That means the ongoing construction was done illegally.” She assured residents that the agency “will continue with its enlightenment campaign. We will not stop the enlightenment campaigns, it will be a continuous exercise.” | | |

Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / WAR ????? Christians, Muslims Must Join Hands To Confront Boko Haram – Shehu Of Borno |
on: 19-07-2013 11:25 PM
| Nigerians should see Boko Haram as a common enemy and not an attempt by Muslims to Islamise or divide the country, Abubakar Ibn Garbai, the Shehu of Borno, said yesterday. Mr. Garbai, who is a member of the Inter Religous Council of Nigeria, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Maiduguri. “Boko Haram is not a deliberate attempt by Muslims to attack Christians; if it is, they would not have attacked me. “If it is a question of targeting only Christians, 13 of my district heads, two council members and many other Muslims would not have been killed. “The Emirs of Fika and Kano are Muslims, yet they were attacked by the sect, who also killed many other Muslims leaders,” he said. He said that some Christians worked in his office and some were traditional title holders in his palace, adding that he held regular meetings with the Christian community in the state. Mr. Garbai said that Nigerians had fought in the past to keep the country united and that they should do everything possible to ensure that anything that could violate the country’s constitution was not allowed. He also said Nigerians should try and settle their differences through dialogue and not emphasis those things that would divide them. The Borno monarch also said that the Inter Religious Council of Nigeria, which is made up of equal number of Muslims and Christians, was set up by the government to advise it on how to move the country forward.

Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / #BBATheChase: I Wanted To Use A Cóndom But Selly Wanted Raw‘Séx’ – Nando |
on: 19-07-2013 11:17 PM
| One of Ghana’s representatives at Big Brother Africa Season 8, Selly, was evicted days after the representative from Tanzania, Nando had accused her of giving him a Séxually Transmitted Infection (STI) when the two had unprotected séx in the house. Nando is angry over the development and is openly talking about it to other housemates in the competition: “You know I hate that bitch! I’m bleeping frustrated cos that bitch [Selly] gave me STD! That’s why my blood pressure was high yesterday,” he told Bimp, the representative from Ethiopia. According to Nando, he wanted to use as a condóm before having séx with Selly, but the Ghanaian lady said she wanted raw séx so he bonked her raw, completely unaware he would contract any disease. Reports say medical doctors are treating Nando for an STI called Chlamydiae. There is however no medical evidence yet that Nando contracted the infection from Selly. But Nando is so angry that he has even confronted Selly over the matter and told her straight in the face that she had infected him with a séxually transmitted disease. All Selly could do was to break down in tears and walk away when Nando demanded to know the last person she had séx with before their séxual intercourse in the Big Brother House. The raw séx between Selly and Nando became big news in Ghana because the lady is publicly known to be in an intimate relationship with hiplife musician Steven Fiawoo known in showbiz as Praye Tiatia of Praye fame. Praye Tiatia has not hidden his relationship with Selly and her mother has even stated publicly that Selly and the musician had stayed together for four years before she travelled to South Africa for the Big Brother show. What is not certain is whether Praye Tiatia would accept Selly back after the competition considering what has happened between her and Nando. Meanwhile, Selly’s mother, Benedicta Galley, has told Peace Fm’s ‘Entertainment Review’ that she believes Nando had cast some sort of spell on her daughter because her Selly is a well-trained girl who has been dating only Praye Tiatia for over four years. A video of the intercourse between Selly and Nando circulating on the internet showed the two kissing passionatély in béd with their hands all over each other. At a point Nando’s head disappeared under the sheets while Selly kept winding her waist and making erótic moans. Towards the end of the video, the Tanzanian was seen rocking his waist at Selly’s behind rhythmically under the sheets for over five minutes before leaving the béd to wash down. Several viewers, the world over, after watching the video of the ‘under béd sheet’ intercourse between Selly and Nando, concluded the two were having séx. Even though Big Brother confirmed the act, Selly’s mother denied her daughter was bonked. She insisted that what happened under the sheets was not séx but just a playful game. “I don’t believe Selly had séx. Even Big Brother himself could not go under the blanket to see what really happened because I have seen several other male and female housemates who also were under the blanket doing the same thing, so you cannot determine that simply because a male and a female are under the blanket it means they are having séx,” Benedicta Galley told Peace Fm’s ‘Entertainment Review’ and said Selly is her only child. Now that both Big Brother and Nando have confirmed that, indeed, what happened between the two was séxual intercourse, suspense has gone high over what explanation Selly would give to Praye Tiatia on her return to Ghana. | | | |
