THE GOOD PEOPLE OF AGEGE AND ORILE AGEGE DEMAND'S JUSTICE, FAIRNESS, PEACE AND RESTORE BALANCE OF THE PEOPLE'S WILL

At Agege today where statements are being made, for peaceful co- existence amongst the communities in agege and Orile Agege, concerning the just concluded primaries elections of the councillors and chairmanship elections in the 10th of May, 2025. They are making their mind known to the public, leaders, political parties leaders and representatives the presidential campaign council (PCC) of agege and Orile Agege categorically rejects the results been circulated from the All Progressives Congress APC, local government primaries held on Saturday, 10th May 2025, these results are not only misleading but a gross misrepresentation of the democratic will of our party members in Agege and Orile Agege. The outcome was not a reflection of due process but a culmination of manipulation, exclusion, and abuse of party machinery by entrenched interests who have hijacked the local political spaces allegedly.
The Chairman, PCC Agege hon. Sabitu Kamorudeen, speaks on the committ members of the APC, acknowledged and respected the supremacy of party directives and structures, such deference must not be misconstrued as passive endorsement of tyranny or authoritarianism cloaked as leadership. They cannot support a scenario where a single individual, wielding inordinate influence, positions himself as the sole arbiter of who rises or falls within the party
Saying that it is not part disciplines, it is political capture, and it is antithetical to the democratic ethos of our party, the APC. And political climate in Agege and Orile Agege is uniquely troubling for over a decade,

Power has monopolized by hon. Obasa, speaker of the house, and he exercises unchecked control over local government executive and wards officers who by design, form the voting delegation in primaries. This structure, driven by fear, patronage, and intimidation, has effectively disenfranchised independent voice and reform-minded aspirants within the party. Any primary process steered under such influence cannot, by any objective measure, produce a fair or credible outcomes. It is a protest against an oligarchy approach to leadership that suppresses internal democracy and close off opportunities for participation ti those outside a privilege inner circle.

They thereby urge the leadership of the party, most importantly the state party Chairman, national working committee, board of trustees, and others well meaningful stakeholders to act decisively. This is Lagos, this is Agege, it is not a political estate to be inherited or transferred at will. Agege and orile Agege are home to so many, don't just a constituency.

Dr. Falmata Zulum acknowledged the hardships endured by IDPs due to insurgency, which has led to mass displacement, loss of lives, and destruction of communities. She reaffirmed the Borno State Government’s commitment to ensuring the palliatives reach the intended beneficiaries, alongside efforts to provide education, healthcare, and empowerment programs for IDPs to rebuild their lives.

Lagos to increase BRT fares by 18% February 17

facebook sharing buttontwitter sharing buttonemail sharing buttonsharethis sharing buttonwhatsapp sharing button
The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has announced an 18 percent increase in fares under its bus reform initiative (BRI) scheme.

In a statement on Thursday, LAMATA said the fare adjustment was necessary due to rising operational costs and to ensure the continued availability of bus services for commuters in Lagos.

According to the transport authority, the new fare structure will take effect from February 17, 2025.

“The fare rise is because of the increase in the cost of operations and the need to ensure that buses keep running and guarantee your movement around Lagos,” the statement read.

“We seek your understanding and cooperation.”

On June 30, 2022, LAMATA announced that the Lagos state government approved an increase of N100 for fares on all routes of the bus rapid transit (BRT).

The authority said the decision to hike the fares was reached due to the rising cost of diesel and the high number of buses that were out of operation due to the lack of spare parts.

In an interview with TheCable on January 5, Fola Tinubu, the managing director (MD) of Primero Transport Services Limited, an operator of the Lagos BRT scheme, said his company would subscribe to the compressed natural gas (CNG) initiative of the federal government by converting its buses to CNG to save cost.

In the interview, Tinubu emphatically said the move would not lead to a reduction in fares as the firm seeks to be profitable

I love the ịgbo culture so much. If you impregnate a lady as a guy in most Igbo part of this country without paying her bride price, you already know the child belongs to the girl's family and not yours as the guy.

Let me rephrase; I hope you know in Igbo land, if you impregnate a lady and she gives birth without you paying her bride price, even if you later marry her, the child she gave birth to before you paid her bride price isn't yours. hope you know?

We start counting your legitimate children from the ones she birthed after you paid her bride price. Except her parents wants to pity you by giving you the child. By right, it's not your child.

I said let me notify you incase you don't know how the culture works

I always laugh whenever I see people fighting over custody of children they didn't pay any kobo on the lady that birthed the child as bride price. Culture dey Sha. If na my side you kon drag Pikin wey you no pay bride price for the girl head ehhh, your front teeth for don loss. Yes, you can't win anywhere no matter your money and connection.

For some of you, your father, mother and some of you wouldn't have been in the family they are in today. But, because they didn't pay their mother's bride price, the girl's family decided to keep them as their own. It's a common practice in ịgbo Land, especially Anambra State.

That's why you see people rushing to pay bride price once they are aware that the lady is pregnant because if she born when you no pay, nothing for you. In some places, they won't accept the girl's bride price once they notice the girl is pregnant. Meaning double loss for you.

I am always shock to hear some tribes give out the children despite when nothing was paid on the woman's head to the man that got her pregnant. Well, everybody with their culture Sha

How to grow rice from store-bought brown rice
Materials Needed
Store-bought brown rice (unprocessed and organic if possible)
Shallow containers or seed trays
Large pots or garden space
Plastic wrap
Watering can or spray bottle
Potting soil or garden soil
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Selecting and Preparing the Rice
Choose Brown Rice: Select organic, unprocessed brown rice to ensure the grains can sprout.
Soak the Rice: Place the rice grains in a bowl of water and soak for 24 hours.
2. Planting the Rice
Prepare Containers: Fill shallow containers or seed trays with about 2-3 inches of potting soil with good drainage.
Sow the Seeds: Scatter the soaked rice grains evenly over the soil surface and cover lightly with a thin layer of soil.
Create Humidity: Cover the containers with plastic wrap to maintain humidity and warmth.
3. Germination and Early Growth
Light and Temperature: Place the containers in a warm area with indirect sunlight. Maintain a temperature of around 70-80°F (21-27°C).
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Remove the plastic wrap once the seedlings emerge, typically within a week to ten days.
4. Transplanting Seedlings
First Transplant: When seedlings are about 5-6 inches tall, transplant them into larger pots or a prepared garden bed with full sunlight.
Spacing: Space the seedlings about 6 inches apart.
5. Ongoing Care
Watering: Rice requires a lot of water. Keep the soil consistently moist, mimicking the flooded conditions of traditional rice paddies. Water daily.
Feeding: Fertilize with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season.
6. Managing Growth
Weeding: Keep the growing area free from weeds.
Pest Control: Monitor for pests and treat them promptly.
7. Harvesting
Maturity: Rice plants will mature in about 3-4 months. The grains are ready to harvest when they turn golden brown and the stalks begin to droop.
Harvesting Grains: Cut the stalks and allow them to dry in a warm, dry place for a few weeks.
Threshing: Once the grains are dry, remove the rice grains from the stalks by gently rubbing them.
Tips for Success
Proper Soaking: Ensure you soak the rice grains thoroughly to enhance germination.
Consistent Moisture: Maintain consistent moisture levels.
Full Sunlight: Provide at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
