Some may actually have known family that can claim the property, but, the accrued taxes to be paid may be more than the worth of the property.

Okay

Many countries are facing reduced investments in oil.

That's true, at this point, Nigeria needs help from God.....All these leaders are acting as if they don't know that people are bearing the brunt of this economic downturn ......

God, please do not let things get worse than this...............

Tohhhh.

Hmmmmm

Hmmmm

The people of the state will determine his fate but I don't like him. He didn't his principal when he needed his .

chiefolododo:
it will be unwise to sack any commissioner, that will be his undoing

They should stay , alive f he mistakenly sack one of them, then it's an own goal for his political ambition, one of them should just contest against him. Let's wait and see

The resignation is a statement to the governor, that it won't find it easy to governor the state and will even be more challenging to emerge as APC governor in the next election. He was too ambitious and was ready to get the seat before the man died. Jonathan is well respected in the North because he never pushed to be president when Yahadua was sick. I am not from Ondo state, but the represented the interest of South west and the entire southern Nigeria while he lived.

It's a professional job

id4sho:
Very risky job but the pay go loud

Na truck driving I go do if I enter Yankee

I know someone saving $1.5k monthly. He's jobs is a low level job

See, what an average grown up wants is a stable life, free of harassment, insecurity, and Co....more so, I'm sure he's not thinking of himself, most probably he's more concerned for the future of his children.

The battle line was drawn long ago. Fubara is not very wise IMO. He should have gotten more muscles in of more loyalists from the house of assembly guys before lunching any resistance to Wike. Which ever way, a house cannot contain both of them.

Ok

He is only back to his country.

Stop being a racist! We are all useful.

Africa's most populous city is battling floods and rising seas. It may soon be unlivable, experts warn
By Nimi Princewill, CNN

Updated 8:02 PM ET, Sun August 1, 2021
Residents wade through flooded Ige Road, in Aboru, Lagos, after a heavy downpour on July 6, 2020.
Residents wade through flooded Ige Road, in Aboru, Lagos, after a heavy downpour on July 6, 2020.
Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)Cars and houses submerged in water, commuters wading through buses knee-high in floods, and homeowners counting the cost of destroyed properties.

Welcome to Lagos during rainy season.
Residents of Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, are used to the yearly floods that engulf the coastal city during the months of March to November. In mid-July, however, the major business district of Lagos Island experienced one of its worst floods in recent years.
"It was very bad, and unusual," Eselebor Oseluonamhen, 32 told CNN.
"I drove out of my house ... I didn't realize it had rained so much ... There was heavy traffic on my route because of the flood. The more we went, the higher the water level. The water kept rising until it covered the bumper of my car ... then there was water flowing inside my car," Oseluonamhen, who runs a media firm on the Lagos mainland, recalled.

Photos and videos posted to social media showed dozens of vehicles inundated with water after torrential rain. The floods paralyze economic activity, at an estimated cost of around $4 billion per year.
Home to more than 24 million people, Lagos, a low-lying city on Nigeria's Atlantic coast, may become uninhabitable by the end of this century as sea levels rise due to climate change, scientific projections suggest.
The problem is exacerbated by "inadequate and poorly maintained drainage systems and uncontrolled urban growth," among others, according to a study led by the Institute of Development Studies.

Nigeria's hydrological agency NIHSA has predicted more catastrophic flooding in September, usually the peak of the rainy season.
Eroding coastline
Lagos is partly built on the mainland and a string of islands.
It is grappling with an eroding coastline that makes the city vulnerable to flooding, which Nigerian environmentalist Seyifunmi Adebote says is attributable to global warming and "human-induced action over a prolonged period."
Sand mining for construction is a major contributor to shoreline erosion in Lagos, environmental experts have said.
Manzo Ezekiel, a spokesman for Nigeria's emergency management agency (NEMA), told CNN that the riverbank of Lagos' Victoria Island is already being "washed away ... particularly in the V.I area of Lagos." "There's this problem of the river bank being washed away. The increase in water level is eating into the land," Ezekiel added.
In Victoria Island, an affluent Lagos neighborhood -- an entirely new coastal city christened 'Eko Atlantic' -- is being built on land reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean, and will be protected from rising waters by an 8-kilometer-long wall made from concrete blocks, developers say.

While the ambitious project could contribute to reducing housing shortages in other parts of the city, Ezekiel fears that "reclaiming land from the sea will put pressure on other coastal areas."
Other critics have argued that adjacent areas not protected by the wall will be left vulnerable to tidal surges. CNN has ed Eko Atlantic for comment.
Coastal cities at risk of being submerged
Low-lying coastal cities in some parts of the world may be permanently submerged by 2100, one study's findings showed. The study published by research group Climate Central stated that affected areas could sink below the high-tide line if sea levels continue to rise.
Deadly floods inundated parts of Europe, but the Netherlands avoided fatalities. Here's why

"As a result of heat-trapping pollution from human activities, rising sea levels could within three decades push chronic floods higher than land currently home to 300 million people," the study said. "By 2100, areas now home to 200 million people could fall permanently below the high tide line," it added.
Global sea levels have been predicted to rise more than 6 feet (2 meters) by the end of this century.
This leaves Lagos, which experts say is less than two meters above sea, in a precarious state, given that a chunk of Nigeria's coastline is low-lying. In a study from 2012, the UK's University of Plymouth found that a sea-level rise of just 3 to 9 feet (about 1 to 3 meters) "will have a catastrophic effect on the human activities" in Nigerian coastal environments.
Adebote told CNN that Lagos' fate "would depend on how we prioritize this science prediction and what corresponding actions we take as a response." "It is only a matter of time before nature pushes back and this could be a disaster," he added.
Nigeria deadly floods
Perennial flooding in Nigeria's coastal areas has left many dead and scores displaced. According to NEMA data, more than 2 million people were directly affected by flooding in 2020.
At least 69 people lost their lives in flood disasters last year. In 2019, more than 200,000 people were affected by floods with 158 fatalities.
"Every year we witness flooding in Nigeria. It is a problem that climate change has brought and we are living with it," Ezekiel told CNN.

Beyond Lagos' vulnerability to climate change, poor drainage systems and clogged street gutters in large swathes of the city are believed to have escalated its flooding challenges.
"As much as climate change plays a part in rising sea levels, what you can see in this video is predominantly a drainage system issue," a social media tweeted while reacting to a video of the recent flooding in Lagos.
However, as flooding rages in some areas, low-income neighborhoods constructed on reclaimed wetlands have to contend with sinking buildings.
Keeping Lagos afloat
Adebote told CNN that for Lagos to stay afloat in the face of floods and rising sea levels, it must adapt to climate change.
"We need to look at our infrastructures -- drainage systems, waste management facilities, housing structures ... How resilient and adaptive are these infrastructures in the face of environmental pressures and when put side-by-side with our growing population?" he said.

Authorities in Lagos have since commenced the clearing of the state's water channels to mitigate perennial flooding.
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has also expressed the country's willingness to partner with global allies in tackling climate change.
"We look forward working with President [Joe] Biden and Vice President [Kamala] Harris. We have great hope and optimism for the strengthening of existing cordial relationships, working together to tackle global terrorism, climate change, poverty, and to improve economic ties and trade," Buhari wrote in a January tweet.
But Adebote remarks that government responses to climate action "have been largely poor."

"There is a lot that must be done and will take consistent and deliberate actions on the parts of various stakeholders for Nigeria to properly take climate actions, especially in adapting to the impacts that are already threatening our livelihood," he added.
An environmental activist, Olumide Idowu, urged government authorities to partner with the private sector in order to boost funds to tackle the issues.
"Government should look at private sector partnerships in order for them to drive climate finance to solve the flooding issues," Idowu told CNN.
Nigeria's economy has struggled in recent years, shrinking financing for climate change and other critical sectors. Authorities are nonetheless still pledging to ramp up the country's climate change response.
Last month, Nigeria's Ministry of Environment announced a presidential approval for a revamped national policy on climate change, aimed at addressing "most, if not all, of the challenges posed by climate change and climate vulnerability in the country," a spokesman for the ministry wrote in Twitter post.

Nice thread, this is a very lucrative job in Canada and the US. Many drivers own their own trucks after driving for few years.

blackmantis:


I'm really pissed off. Why are they granting her interviews.
What is the meaning of he was not in a happy marriage?
Why is the media so insensitive to the family?

The family must have sanctioned the interview. His cousin, a lawyer featured in the interview.

Munzy14:
It's obvious na...Career guy vs career lady...Normally boring...




However, looking at this case psychologically, Two motives must be behind this guy's death...

1. A Business competition.

2. The wife...

Chidinma was simply an Alibi.

You are right man. There is a lot behind this story. Among many things I heard from the interviews, the investigation will not stop with the lady. Whether she killed him or not, she will spend some time in jail for her role. I won't assume anyone must have been involved, I trust Nigerian Police, if they are not pressured, the truth will come out.

If you have up to six months before moving. Go and learn software development. You can complete the front end in six months. You will be glad you did. If you have few thousands of naira, you can check search for places to learn it in Nigeria or go to technology section on nairaland. I know of Aptech, https://www.aptechlearning.com/it/courses.aspx

Fistop:
Why do we always God mostly when in need?

It's those that are sick that need physician, he looked rightly. Moreover, Jesus is the greatest healer that can heal him.

I understand that our system of education is very rigid and some courses can actually become a curse, but suicide is not the answer. The fact that you are failing a course or two doesn't mean you not brilliant. The only thing is that you are not catching up at the speed required. You can always try something else. With my MSc many of my mates stopped at secondary school, the other I saw a immediate junior while in secondary school, he's into cow skin trading with his school cert. Oh boy, PHD doesn't quarantied success o. MAY GOD LEAD US TO A RIGHT PATH. AMEN. NO TO SUICIDE!

Congratulations

“We’re excited to have Chiney Ogwumike back on the court with us,” General Manager/Head Coach Derek Fisher said. “In 2019, Chiney brought us energy, defense, rebounding and an ability to score efficiently. Off the court, she continues to raise the bar as a role model, entrepreneur and civic leader. She’s an important part of our Sparks family and we’re looking forward to having her back.”

Chiney Ogwumike is Vice President of the WNBPA and worked alongside her sister, teammate and players union President Nneka Ogwumike to help shepherd the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement.
