IG of police -- Ban on police road-blocks/check-points still in force

The police road blocks in Lagos is so annoying. And according to this press release signed 

by the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, the ban on the road blocks is still in force. 

Guess the police officers we see on the roads didn't get the memo. Find the press release below..

The Inspector-General of Police, Acting IGP Suleiman Abba, has stated unequivocally that the order banning the setting up of Police road-blocks nationwide is still strictly in force. In a directive issued to all Commands and Formations of the Force, the IGP warned that all semblances of Police road-blocks and permanent check-points reportedly re-emerging in some parts of the country, especially in the South-East, South-South and South-West geo-political zones of Nigeria should immediately be dismantled.

The IGP who described the trend as a serious violation of subsisting order on road-blocks warned that severe sanctions await any Police Commands, Formations and personnel who violate the order.

While charging the Command Commissioners of Police and Heads of Formations to ensure total compliance with this order, the IGP further orders extensive visibility patrol and effective surveillance on our roads.

Nicki Minaj's weird butt at iHeartRadio music festival

There were reports a few weeks ago that Nicki Minaj ruptured her butt while performing on stage at the VMAs. Many didn't believe it but on Friday night, her butt seemed to lean to the left side as she performed at the iHeartRadio Music Festival at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The butt looks weird but maybe there's a better explanation, like camera angle..?

Ebola: Lagos Clears Last Suspect | Affirms September 22nd Resumption Date

The Lagos State Government on Friday said the last suspected

 case of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the state had been cleared having tested 

negative after surveilance.

Governor Babatunde Fashola disclosed this while giving an update on 

the virus at the Secretariat Central Mosque, Alausa, where he observed Jumat Prayers.

The governor said the development meant that the state was now Ebola free 

and that it was safe enough for schools to resume on September 22nd.

“The last time when we discussed the issue, I told you that about 19 people 

were still under observation over the Ebola Virus Disease. They were there

 not because they had the disease but because they were showing suspected symptoms.

“But I am glad to report to you that the last person under surveillance was 

cleared this morning. He tested negative and that means there is no more 

Ebola in Lagos.

“Now that the disease has been successfully contained, schools can resume 

for normal academic session,” he said.

Fashola said the declaration that the state was now free did not mean Ebola 

threats had been completely eliminated.

According to him, the situation in Sierra Leone, Liberia and other high risk 

countries meant cross–border transmission threat is still there.

He, however, said the state government was implementing strict measures to 

ensure the disease was confined to history.

The governor urged residents to be vigilant and to take precautions that would 

ensure their safety from the disease.

Fashola also advised residents to keep their environment clean and maintain

 good personal hygiene as diseases thrive in dirty environments.

Dumped Husband Queues for 44 Hours to Buy iPhone 6 to Appease Angry Wife

If your wife is mad at you, perhaps you could buy her an iPhone 6 to appease her.

Darius Wlodarski, a 41-year-old man from Poland, queued outside an Apple 

store in Bristol, England for 44 hours to buy an iPhone 6 to make his estranged wife happy.

He arrived a day before anyone else, and was the first person in the queue.

His wife, Joana, whom he was married to for 20 years, is said to have

 left him after accusing him of “valuing material possessions over his family.”

Despite their breakup, Wlodarski was determined to keep a promise he made to 

her before their split – to buy her an iPhone 6.

“I did so many things wrong and I want to say sorry to my wife and daughter 

that I wasn’t as good as I could.

It took me a while to realise what really mattered – and that is my family.

My wife said to me I should remember that it is now  ‘things’ that matter, that 

I was worrying too much about saving for things, and she was right.

I know an iPhone is another ‘thing,’ but I told her I would get her one and I 

wanted to keep my promise,” he said.

Darius being welcomed by Apple staff

Wlodarski is currently unemployed, however; he spent £800 on the phone, 

using his credit card to pay.

Although he doesn’t expect that the iPhone 6 will win her back, he hopes it 

will bring her happiness.
