Uncivilised treatment of female suspects

THE herding of male and female suspects into a detention cell or prison is one more example of the callousness and human rights violation perpetrated by the police and other law enforcement agencies in the country. Undoubtedly, it is an action not associated with decent societies as it violates the United Nations rules for the treatment of women prisoners and offenders. Regrettably, Nigeria seems to be descending into this immoral abyss without the authorities realising it or aware of its dangers. The UN specifically states that women must be kept in separate quarters from men; and girls in separate quarters from boys. There is an urgent need to educate and train security agents on gender-specific rights of those in detention.

Travelling on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway with tears

                                         A failed section at Adura Bus/Stop.

 Travelling on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway can best be described as nightmarish, given the number of potholes motorists have to contend with.

Although it is a federal road, it covers some parts of Lagos State. Right from Oshodi, Iyana Ipaja, down to Meiran, Ijaiye, Alakuko, among others, Lagosisans are currently suffering from the deplorable state the road has fallen into.

Worsened by floods from recent rains, countless potholes, which cause gridlocks, have surfaced in several sections. This causes untold hardship to motorists and commuters, who spend endless hours in traffic snarls, which have become a regular feature on that road. A motorist says between Iyana Ipaja and Sango alone, a distance of about seven kilometres, he has counted up to 52 potholes.

There Will Be Heavy War In Nigeria If Jonathan Don't Win In 2015 ––Asari Dokubo

These are not the best of times for Governor Rotimi Amaechi. Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Asari Dokubo, has described him as a traitor that would be dealt with.
According to the ex-militant leader, since the governor joined forces with the North to work against President Goodluck Jonathan, he has betrayed the people of the Niger Delta. He said the 2015 general elections would “define and decide” the existence of Nigeria...

Yoruba may determine who wins 2015 presidency

The voting pattern of the Yoruba people of South-West geopolitical zone in the 2015 presidential election may determine who wins and who loses. In 2011, even though the zone voted the Action Congress of Nigeria in all the elections, they voted more for the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate in the presidential election. That helped in no small way to swing victory for President Goodluck Jonathan.

Many had fingered the ACN leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for that massive vote for Jonathan because of the last-minute discussions he reportedly had with the latter. But that would be saying that the South-West people are sheep that don’t have their own mind. Weeks before the 2011 presidential election, even while talks were on between the Congress for Progressive
