Ebele/Bianca    The otherwise serene but joyful, smooth transition of power in Anambra State was marred by an ugly, shameful brawl between two high profile, supposedly dignified women of Igbo extraction. It turned out that were anything but dignified and noble. Highly placed persons who throw decorum to the wind in a public space simply prove that they have a poor perception of their role as models for the people that they lead. And they ought to be called out for their ‘agbaya’ behaviour and their ignominious display of juvenile rascality in their old age! The two women – one, the outgoing First Lady of the state, Mrs. Ebele Obiano (55+), reputed to be abrasive and hyperactive, once reported, while ‘half clad’, to have ‘hit people with broken bottles’, and it took combined efforts of men of the DSS and Police to stop her. The other, former beauty queen, widow of War Lord Ikemba Odumegwu Ojukwu himself the physically attractive Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu (54 years), the lady who decades ago de

 Lagos State Government Saturday sealed the premises of an event centre where petrol was shared as souvenirs. Officials of the Lagos Safety Commission and the Rapid Response Squad sealed Havillah Event Centre, Oniru, for contravening public safety rules for allowing sharing of the petroleum product in jerrycans. The senior special assistant (SSA) to the Governor of Lagos State on New Media, Jubril Gawat, said the Lagos State police commissioner has ordered the arrest of those involved. “There is no doubt that this action is dangerous and can lead to loss of lives and property,” Lagos State commissioner for information Gbenga Omotoso said in a statement earlier on Saturday. Omotoso said sharing petrol as a souvenir is blatantly against all safety measures in such places. “The Lagos State Government, through the Safety Commission, is investigating this matter and will ensure that all parties to this reprehensible action are made to account for it. “The safety of lives and property of Lag

 An estimated N2 billion naira has been lost to the ban on Twitter by the Nigerian government, NetBlocks, an international Internet monitor, says. NetBlocks Cost of Shutdown Tool (COST) is a data-driven online service that enables anyone to quickly and easily produce rough estimates of the economic cost of Internet disruptions. The digital rights advocacy platform estimates the economic impact of an internet disruption, mobile data blackout or app restriction using indicators from the World Bank, International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Eurostat amongst others. According to its analysis, an estimated N2.1 billion naira is lost when Nigeria shuts down Twitter for 24 hours. NetBlock says it uses the Brookings Institution’s method which relies on development indicators and Naira/dollar exchange rate of November 2019. However, it did not specify whether this estimated loss is from advertisement revenue, Twitter marketing and sales of products, traffic generated by Twitter or a drop in

  Mixed Reaction As Man Who Looks Like Buhari Was Spotted Driving A Bus In Lagos State (Photos). Apparently, there is a one in 135 chances that there’s a single pair of complete doppelgangers. There’s definitely a mathematical chance for two doppelgangers to exist, but it’s highly unlikely. Mostly, people do not come across doppelgangers of themselves. The human face is said to be extraordinarily unique. A Twitter user identified as “He always” has taken to her Twitter page to share a photo of a man who looks like President Muhammad Buhari, driving a taxi in Lagos state. Sharing on her Twitter page, she wrote: “Buhari’s lookalike spotted driving a bus in Lagos State. One Nigeria Forbes”. See tweet below.. Another Twitter identified as “Ada King” also said: “It is finished, Buhari is now a bus driver in Lagos State. BTW, say No to one Nigeria”. See tweet below.. It is said believed that seeing your doppelganger is an omen of death. According to English and German folklore, seeing your d

  The Nigerian government has increased the pump price of petrol to N212.61 a litre, less than two weeks after assuring the nation there would be no hike. The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) announced late Thursday that the retail price for a litre of petrol for the month will be between N209.61 and N212.61. The ex-depot price, which is the amount sold by fuel depot owners to marketers, will be N206.42, while the landing cost stands at N189.61 per litre, the agency said. The announcement comes amid a partial scarcity of fuel that has lingered for weeks. There had been concerns the government, which says it has deregulated the sector and no longer pays subsidy, would raise rates as crude oil prices have seen a rebound in the global market. The state-owned NNPC, which regulates the sector and is the sole importer of refined petrol, however, assured there was no such plan for February and March. On March 1, the NNPC said in a statement by its Group General Manager, Gr
