The excuses may have started building up. The next story will be how and why the grants and loans from Emefiele were wasted and no longer repayable. Next phase please.

This is the situation this morning as residents of Akeem lawal street mobilized miscreants to prevent motorists and pedestrians from passing e through a government public road.

The trend of illegal barricades on major roads in Lagos is beginning to assume a dangerous dimension. The formation of residential estates both legitimate and illegitimate seems to be the vehicle utilized by these residents to perpetuate this illegal activity. The ability to employ gate guards is also another requirement for setting up these barricades as well as perpetuate some antisocial activities. The focus for today is a surburb called Baruwa inside. This is a growing community tucked somewhere in between Ipaja and Isheri Igando within Alimosho. The spate of estate formations and attendant road barricades within this community is becoming alarming. The initial signal to this problem arose some years ago with certain residents proclaiming themselves as peace estate. They established several barricades on some link roads within the larger Baruwa community putting some under permanent lock with guards turning back motorists under the flimsy excuse of being non residents of their estate. The non reactivate nature of non residents of this peace estate may have been the required tonic for other residents in the other parts of Baruwa to initiate their own barricades with the attendant turning back of motorists and extortion of some who may insist on passing through especially on commercial missions. This is the true situation with Akeem Lawal and Monsuru Agoro streets both within the Baruwa inside. Their barricades constitute public nuisance and threat to the peaceful habitation of the entire Baruwa community. There have been hot debates and threats from other residents of other clusters to establish their own barricades in order to retaliate the actions of the other barricaded clusters. This is the looming dangerous dimension lagosians may not find funny. The experience is not different for people who attempt driving through iyana odo bus stop along Isheri Igando to link Baruwa. The residents beside impress event center have announced themselves as royal estate and also erected a barricade stopping motorists from plying the road. Is this not establishment of cages in a cage? What is your experience?

It's so unfortunate how we regard people at mere 70 years as old. It doesn't help that we have also been brainwashed to believe such people should be debilitated by ill-health especially arthritis. People should concentrate on how to live healthy especially nutrition wise.

The self glorifying zombie may be setting up herself for an early elimination either by man or nature. Wish her the best.

What is their crime that they are cuffed? Has the police gone mad?

To confess before strong commitment is exemplary. Abortions have very bad negative effects. If both of you have slept together,it is sin. Relationship,especially marriage is the bonding of two histories. Look hard at your past history and what you will like it to be till the end of life. Does her past and imaginable future look suitable for your dream? This needs to be your consideration for the next possibly one year before a reasonable decision can be made. And you must not sleep with her in order to be objective. Most mistakes in our marriages arise from not doing such realistic reasoning. And we are prejudiced by sex.

The plane has been flying around the real destination for a long time. The landing at the previously planned position is now. I keep wondering who they think is deceived.

Aisha buhari just came back from UK. How much duty did she pay for tens of bags brought as luggage?

The headline says baby factory. The actual story says underage prostitution. The police trying to make omelette with bad eggs.

It is no longer in doubt that Nigeria is cash strapped. The economy is severely challenged and the government itself is battling to survive. This puts the common man in a very precarious situation. The once regulated local government revenue drive undertaken by the Joint Tax Board (JTB) seems to have evaporated under the current desperate measures by the federal and state governments to sustain the usual opulent lifestyles of officials and godfathers. On the federal highways from Onitsha to Lagos,ninth mile to Abuja,Jos etc,the same story abound. Local governments officials and touts line up especially at very bad portions of the roads to forcefully request for various emblems and stickers from trucks and buses. You can never have all the certificates they request from you because they come out with coinages that do not exist anywhere else. Today 23/10/2019, local government officials and thugs operating all around Ikotun,Abaranje,Egbe,Idimu,Ejigbo have been arresting trucks for not having ON and OFF permit and Garage permit. The intimidated drivers and companies are being taken to local council offices and made to cough out about #12,000. The touts claim that the permits are obtained for #5,000 and #4,500 respectively. The extra is the penalty for not knowing about the new certificates. One really wonders if these are the ingredients of the fuel required for the take off of the next level jet. A reminder is necessary here for those who don't understand the transient nature of power that the mandate,security protection and all other freebies they enjoy today as government functionaries will not last forever. Alex Baddeh should be on peoples minds.

Stage getting set for Lagos bandits against a man that attempted to size up their terrified leader.

Border closure results: Time will soon tell the winners and the losers. No need for any hurry.

A little in the right direction. But none of the above deserve to fly business class.

Business is normally driven by the primary principles of competitive advantages. A digression means inefficient allocation of resources. The results may not be fully appreciated from the start. Therefore,Time is an essential element for a better analysis of the present scenario.

We are wailing and it is good for our souls. Soon and soonest,the #30,000 bloggers will find out that membership of this club will be permanently denied them. We hope they can find another club other than that of suicide.

Nigeria is actually a poor country. The administration that understood and managed the resources properly was the Obj government. Lean resource management and savings was the hallmark.

One of Tinubu boys harassing and extorting truck drivers in the night. You only need to witness where and how these urchins deal with stranded drivers when their trucks break down at night. They even collude with LASTMA and more especially in Ogun state with TRACE officers to extort drivers. This one is lucky today. Might not be so tomorrow.

Mr Ali can do well to know that the amount they have collected will go back abroad via higher prices for next importations. How has that made Nigeria better? Secondly,how long can Nigeria afford to keep the borders closed? What about the costs of keeping the borders closed?

surgical:
Bandits are VIP in this government,it is the ordinary law abiding citizens that are at the receiving end

Na you talk am.

Ha!! Nigeria Army.

Sowore versus Bandits.

Backwardness forever.

For lying so foolishly and stupidly this director will reap his rewards both here on earth and hereafter. This is a train project that started well over 10 years ago.

She may still be traumatized possibly because she had the same baggage.

SIMPLE ECONOMICS: If the incompetent Buhari administration had paid the slightly higher than $800m,the nation wouldn't have been going through this unnecessary and unfortunate situation. The travel expenditures of some of these hooligans to U.K.,the monies currently wasted on legal experts local and abroad,monies wasted on laundering an already horrible image with foreign media,the cost of distraction from very important current matters. Nigeria is being run by people close to baboons.

It's good to be positive and confident. But this one? Nigeria is in. Meanwhile the Lai refused to inform that the hurried court conviction of P&ID in Abuja was thrown into the garbage by the British court. Soon we will find out.

Leopantro:
Nigeria still has to pay P&ID $250m
Total to pay $450m within 2 months

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the the real account of what transpired. After all this is the fraud republic of Nigeria.

Somebody should recheck those Cambridge and waec results or certificates. What did you see? Ehn. Ehn. Abracadabra!!!

So game 1 hypocrisy of the attorney general and the cows colony starts.

Saint Buhari must hear this. Whoever gave this lawmaker the information must be a terrorist. Guess who?...

Power!! The language of the terrorists called leaders in Nigeria. It runs through all of them not minding the party or position. Funnily,the same idiots will resort to wheelchair, stretcher or even fainting when nemesis plays the catchup game.
