The non-stop rain in Lagos this month has led to heavy flooding in certain parts of Lagos state.
Places such as Lekki, Victoria Island, Victoria Garden City, Ajah and environs are presently flooded. This week has witnessed heavy rainfall during this wet season. The Island has suffered the most of it within the last few days. Places like Lekki and Victoria Island have always been prone to floods this time of year.

"While assuring the general public of the heavy deployment of environmental sanitation officers and emergency rescue teams, especially in flood-prone areas of the state, the government urges residents to stay indoors, either at home or in their places of work, whenever there is heavy downpour, except when the need to commute becomes necessary.
"Warning that heavy downpour is expected for a few more weeks, the government solicits the support of citizens to desist from dumping refuse in the canals and gutters and observe safe and hygienic conducts at all times in order to reduce the effect of temporary flooding being recorded in some areas.
"The government also urges residents to make use of emergency numbers in case of dire situations."
A senior female police officer who allegedly aided the escape of suspected kidnap kingpin,Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, alias Evans, from police detention after he was arrested for armed robbery in 2006, has been arrested.
The Nation reveals that the identity of the officer who is now a Chief Superintendent of Police [CSP], identified only as Tina, was uncovered by a Special Investigation Panel (SIP) set up by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris, to probe Evans’ 2006 arrest, transfer from Lagos State to Imo State and eventual release from detention without prosecution.
play Evans escaped from police because he had insider help (Pulse)
Recall that after Evans arrest on June 10, 2017, a senior police officer had told reporters that his team had arrested the suspect in 2006 following a bank robbery but was later transferred to the Imo State Police Command following the intervention of a female officer who claimed Evans was her brother.
The officer had claimed that Evans and his gang members had a gun duel at the National Theatre in Surulere, Lagos, after a disagreement in sharing their loot and he was shot by his gang members and left to die before he was arrested.
According to the officer, Tina who was then a Superintendent of Police (SP), mounted pressure on them to release Evans and two of his members but when her request was not met, she went through Imo State Command, where a signal was sent for the transfer of the suspects.
Following the revelations by the officer, IGP Idris constituted the panel to investigate the 2006 arrest, transfer and eventual release of Evans and his members and bring to book the officers involved in the sordid affair.
The panel's mandate was to identify all the officers who had a hand in the matter, whether serving or retired and bring them to justice.
According to a source, the panel has made reasonable progress in its investigation because almost all the officers that took part in the 'rape' of justice have been identified.
So many officers took part in that 2006/2007 release of Evans and they are being investigated. The panel has made progress and almost all of them have been identified. An official statement might be released by the authorities soon.”
16 scammers who allegedly used the name of President Muhammadu Buhari to defraud unsuspecting job seekers and other innocent members of the public have been arrested by operatives of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command.
Total media reports that the suspects 10 men and 6 women, were arrested in a storey building they operated from located along Atiku Abubakar Way, Uyo, the state capital following a tip-off.
However, the leader of the syndicate identified as Felix Obonka, an indigene of Delta State, is said to be currently on the run as security operatives have launched a manhunt for him.
Items recovered from the suspects, according to the police, includes the sum of N199,800 and two set of forms tagged 'Empowerment and Surveillance'.
The syndicate which operated with the name 'Niger Delta Youths, Women and Security Movement for Buhari', it was gathered, sold 'membership and surveillance' forms between N6,000 and N15,000 with the promise of securing jobs for their victims and their wards.

It was gathered that Obonka and his accomplices tricked the unsuspecting applicants into believing that those applying for security jobs would be trained by the Nigerian Army and on completion, will be posted to the Nigerian Navy, Police Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Department of State Services, and other security agencies for the purpose of pipeline surveillance and protection.
Others were led into believing that they would become trained artisans and proud owners of shops at the end of the program but it was discovered that the fraudulent syndicate had never given out jobs or training since it started operations in 2015.

Ekenze, indeed, lamented the inability of health care providers to give adequate priority to child surgery, saying that certain factors including culture, ignorance and poverty also, add to the problems.
He spoke shortly before delivering the 120th Inaugural Lecture at the Enugu campus of the University of Nigeria, UNN, on “New born Surgery in a Developing World: Dissecting the Gains, Challenges and Advances,” yesterday.
This was even as he further blamed the inability of medical practitioners to properly diagnose cases requiring surgery on new born babies timely.
According to him, Nigerian parents do not place expected values on their children, largely due to the fact that they bear many children and would consider it a waste of resources on any particular child would cost them a fortune.
His words, “We want to look at our challenges on the new born; what we have gained in the last decades, the ongoing challenges and how we intend to address them.
“We have conducted series of researches and our findings are quite revealing. There are some challenges that are peculiar to us that are not found elsewhere and these include late presentation (of cases of the new born babies before appropriate referral hospitals)”.
The North cannot hold Nigeria hostage – Afenifere, Ohanaeze
On 6:46 am
I don’t understand what they mean by restructuring – Oyegun
By Emeka Mamah, Wale Akinola, Dapo Akinrefon & Yinka Ajayi
The controversy over the restructuring of Nigeria has continued with Afenifere, the Yoruba socio- political group, asking northern leaders opposed to restructuring not to hold the country hostage.
L-R; Former IG of Police, Alh Ibrahim Coomassie, AVM Mukhtar Muhammad, The publisher of Leadership Newspaper, Sam Nda-Isaiah, Alh Bash D. Bauchi and others during a meeting with leaders of the Northern States over hate speeches and several agitation at the State house in Abuja.
The group’s position came on the heels of the support for restructuring from former military President, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, who said, last week, that the Nigerian federation, as currently structured, needs reform that will emphasise the individual strength and advantages of the component units so that governments can really work to improve the lives of Nigerians..
Before then, former VP Atiku Abubakar, also a northerner, had also expressed his support for restructuring.
Among northerners opposed to restructuring, Governor Nasir el-Rufai, on Thursday, described those advocating for the idea as opportunists.
Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndigbo spoke on a day the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie – Oyegun said he did not know what the proponents of restructuring mean, saying they should not armtwist him to use a confusing terminology which means different things to Nigerians.
Afenifere, while welcoming Babangida and Atiku’s intervention on the restructuring debate, yesterday, urged northern leaders still opposed the idea to take a cue.
It noted that the fact that Babangida and Atiku had spoken in favour of the idea means that not all northern leaders are against restructuring.
The National Publicity Secretary of the group, Mr Yinka Odumakin, told Sunday Vanguard, “We welcome their intervention, IBB, especially. We remember Babangida was opposed to restructuring in 1999 when we held a national conference with the late Mr. Alao Aka-Bashorun,we were flogged out of the place. For him now to come to reality to say we have to restructure, and to have spoken those words, and to break it down the way he has done, shows that he has realized the mistakes of those years and that it is the right thing to do. We welcome him, he is a critical voice and he has added value to it.
“For Atiku Abubakar, he has been consistent on restructuring over the years, right from when he was in office. We have noted his intervention for over ten years. He has added value to the debate, he has removed the notion that not everybody in the North is against restructuring.
“So, the two of them have added value to the debate. They have shown clearly that those of us, who have been talking about restructuring, know what we are saying and they have confirmed our position that it is the right thing to do.
“We know that those who oppose restructuring are doing so for their selfish interest cannot see the larger picture and do not care about the future of this country. But those who can see that this country is in danger, and that we have moved to edge of the precipice and we need to arrest the drift, are the critical voices from the North who are speaking loudly for restructuring now. We welcome their intervention and see them are co-citizens who want to save this country from disintegration.”
On those still opposed to restructuring, he added: “They should join the train for us to rescue this country. Everybody can see that there are danger signals. Nigeria is gradually becoming a failed state.. We just have to restructure to bring about inclusiveness to governance. This will bring about an era of prosperity all over Nigeria because that is the most important aspect of restructuring. The idea of restructuring is to move from us from scarcity to abundance, it is scarcity that is causing all the fighting in the land.”
On its part, Ohanaeze Nidigbo, the dominant Igbo socio-political group, is believed to align with the Afenifere’s position that the North cannot continue to block the agitation to restructure Nigeria if it was to move forward.
Although the President General of the group, Dr Nnia Nwodo, could not be reached, a source close to the group cited a former Chief of General Staff, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe (retd), as conveying the message to Afenifere and the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF).
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo is in support of what other Nigerians are saying. We cannot be different. Ohanaeze is thinking along the same line; that Nigeria must be restructured. We are on the same page with them”, the spokesman for Ohanaeze Ndigbo, who preferred anonymity said, yesterday.
Late into the night, Igbo leaders, comprising state governors and legislators, were in a closed-door meeting in Enugu to hold further talks on the state of the nation.
I don’t know what they mean by restructuring — Odigie-Oyegun
The APC National Chairman, Odigie-Oyegun, last night, said he did not know what the proponents of restructuring meant and they should not arm-twist him to use a confusing terminology, which meant different things to Nigerians.
Odigie-Oyegun, who insisted that his party stood for true federalism, told Sunday Vanguard that some persons mischievously misrepresented what he said, last Thursday.
Odigie-Oyegun spoke to Sunday Vanguard on phone; “I do not know what some people want to make out of my statement. Must I be forced to use the word they want me to use, which I do not want to use. I stand by what I said; the APC promised true federalism and I know what true federalism is.
“I did not want to use the word restructuring, which conveys different meanings to many Nigerians. Some will tell you that they want the country to be restructured into 10 federating units, some will say into six federating units, everything is confusing, I do not even know what they mean by restructuring”.
He went on: “Go and read our party manifesto and see what we said there, we did not promise restructuring, we did not address true federalism all this time because of the collapse of the economy, but we will soon get there.”
The APC leader blamed the controversy over his statement on lazy reporting by some journalists, saying that some media houses, however, captured his views accurately, while others sensationalized what he said.
On his part, Obong Victor Attah, a former governor of Akwa Ibom and Co-Chairman of PANDEF, who disclosed that he was attending a function at Calabar, Cross River State, said he had taken time to read the statement credited to Odigie-Oyegun and did not come out with the conclusion that he was against restructuring.
According to him, it was all semantics because from the assertions of the APC National Chairman, his party was not against true federalism, devolution of power and other essential ingredients of true federalism, which is the main plank of restructuring being demanded by Nigerians.
Social justice, cause of our predicament —Faseun
Also, yesterday, the founder of Odua Peoples Congress (OPC), Dr Frederick Faseun, said the reason for the agitations from different sections of the country was become of the faulty structure of the country.
“That we have not institutionalised social justice is the cause of our predicament as a nation”, he said at an event organised by the United Niger Delta Forum (UNIDEF) in Lagos.
“ For those calling for the nation’s break-up. It’s too late for Nigeria to separate because we have been together for 100 years.”
“Majorly, it’s because report of the last Sovereign National Conference, held during former President Goodluck Jonathan administration was left unattended to, that we have agitations by various groups across the country. I bet to say the crisis of Nigeria will not cease until the issues raised by the National Conference including restructuring are addressed. “
We are on top of agitations — Al-Mustapha
Also speaking at the event, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late head of state, Gen.Sani Abacha, called for a platform where all Nigerians would be treated equally and realistically in a democratic setting that would support the future and younger generations.”
“ Any call that would separate Nigeria is unacceptable. I have been playing a leading role right from the onset, before it even got to this level. We have been criss-crossing the North and the South-East, and to all parties concerned, mediating for peace.
I was recently in Owerri to sign a peace accord with appropriate associations as well as in the North. We are on top of these agitations but my understanding of it all, is that people are investing in these problems to promote themselves. If Arewa youths had addressed IPOB as a group or the leader Nnamdi Kanu as an individual, it would have been a fair share, but addressing millions of Igbos that reside in the North is not acceptable by our Constitution. We have spoken to the Northern Leaders Forum as well as Ralph Nwazuruike because Nnamdi Kanu was the boy he brought him up to be in the Radio House in London.
“People that want to create tension in Nigeria are behind Kanu, so he became what he is today as a result of that. However, what he is conveying may not necessarily be his agenda but those investing in the tension to separate us as a nation. But our security agencies are doing a lot to track them and they have the initiative of what is going on. All I am after is creation of a platform that is sincere and caters for indigent Nigerians.”
UNIDEF leader, Comrade Ese Oghenevo Gabriel, told the gathering that Nnamdi Kanu and his fellow agitators may have their reasons for agitating for Biafra, saying however that his group believed in one and indivisible Nigeria. “All we are clamouring for is a system restructured to favour regional resource control where every region control its resources and reporting back to the centre”, he said.
Separately, Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP and one of the contenders for the coming governorship election in November, said social restructuring of Nigeria is the solution to the agitations by some sections in the country.
“Whilst the arguments on restructuring range from geographical restructuring where groups seek secession and or statehood to economic restructuring where some seek resource control and more allocation to the center, I see a type of restructuring which our leaders are not discussing nor agitating for. It is the failure to provide this form of restructuring that has led to the increased agitation for self independence and civil strife that has attracted the militarization of our society today”, he said.
“From the NADECO, OPC, Niger-Delta, MASSOB, Boko Haram to Avengers and IPOB, one thing in common is that they all were fighting injustice, deprivation and perceived or outright marginalization. Our nation, Nigeria needs social restructuring where the average Nigerian has a sense of belonging, is hopeful rather than hopeless and basic needs are met by the state as well as protected by the law.
“When someone gets 50 of 200 of admission cut-off points,he or she is admitted while the other applicants who get between 180,170,190 and even above the cut-off points are not admitted. The same thing in job opportunities. You don’t need to meet the job criteria,once you know somebody, a stark illiterate would be given a job of a graduate.
As long as this kind of injustice continues, as long as we don’t place everything in the basis of merit but on where and who you know, the kind of religion you practice, there would continue to be this kind of agitations here and there.
“I am certain that the application of social restructure in everything we do and say will reduce greatly the tension as we presently see it. I am very confident that no constituent zone of this country can few years after its self independence be free of smaller units complaining of marginalization. With over 200 ethnic groups that live within 36 geographically prescribed states, there will always be those who will cry of marginalization as long as we continue to do things the way they are done today.
Nigeria needs to review this quota system in education as this is different from supporting educationally disadvantaged areas, and review our value system. Until these and others are done, we would continue to breed poor leadership in all spheres in this country and possibly a revolution”.
We must correct imbalance — Onuesoke
In a related development, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, criticised Kaduna State governor, el-Rufai, over his opposition to restructuring.
Onuesoke, who spoke in Kaduna, said while Nigerians are searching for political and economic solution to move the country forward by correcting the imbalance in the system, el-Rufai, among others, were dragging the country backward.
According to him, his opposition to restructuring of the country and the implementation of the Jonathan CONFAB report was evident that he is against the unity and progress of the country. He stated that El-Rufai should not claim to know better than Babangida, Atiku, Bisi Akande and Olusegun Obasanjo among other leaders who who have been clamouring for the restructuring of Nigeria and implementation of CONFAB report
Shell was alleged to have helped in the arrest of Nigerian men who had sought to peacefully disrupt oil development in the region because of health and environmental impacts
(AFP/File)Shell: Nigerian widows seek to sue company in Dutch courts
Four Nigerian women are taking legal action in the Dutch courts against Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell accusing it of complicity in the 1990s executions of their husbands by the Nigerian military, Amnesty International said Thursday.
The civil case has been brought by Esther Kiobel, the widow of Barinem Kiobel, who was hanged in 1995 along with writer and campaigner Ken Saro-Wiwa and seven others. Three other widows are also joining the action in The Hague.
A writ was set to be placed before a civil court in The Hague on Thursday alleging that Shell was complicit "in the unlawful arrest, detention and execution of nine men who were hanged by Nigeria's military government in the 1990s," Amnesty said in a statement.
Saro-Wiwa, president and founder of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), and eight fellow activists were executed on November 10, 1995 after a military tribunal convicted them of the murder of four traditional Ogoni chiefs.
The executions provoked a global outcry and led to the suspension of Nigeria from the Commonwealth. The west African country was re-admitted with the return of civil rule in 1999.
Shell was alleged to have helped in the arrest of the men, who had sought to peacefully disrupt oil development in the region because of health and environmental impacts.
"Shell has been dodging accountability for its complicity in these deaths for more than 20 years but now, thanks to Esther Kiobel's determination and bravery in taking on this corporate Goliath, the past is finally catching up with it," said Audrey Gaughran, senior director of research at Amnesty.
After her husband's death, Kiobel fled to Benin in 1998 and then moved to the United States where she still lives.
She had sought with others to pursue her case through the American courts, but in 2013 the US Supreme Court ruled that the American justice system did not have jurisdiction over the case.
Amnesty is now hoping the court in The Hague will agree to hear the case, although a decision on whether it will go ahead could still be some months off.
The Ogoni movement was set up in 1990 to fight against pollution and the destruction of the ecosystem of the 500,000-strong Ogoni community, which lives on an oil-rich parcel of land on the northern edge of the Niger Delta.
In 2015 a Dutch appeals court ruled that four Nigerian farmers demanding compensation and a clean-up in four heavily-polluted Niger Delta villages can bring a case against the energy giant in the Netherlands.
A 2011 report by the United Nations Environment Programme found that decades of oil pollution in Ogoniland region may require the world's biggest ever clean-up.
The Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) has backed the call to restructure Nigeria, saying it will end agitations by ethnic nationalities and youths across the country.
Interim Chairman of the party in Anambra, Chief Obunike Ohaegbu, said in Nnewi on Tuesday that a united Nigeria that was discussed and restructured would be a better for everyone.
He urged the Federal Government to address the issues that were giving rise to the tension in the country.
As panacea, Ohaegbu suggested that the government should make public the resolutions of the 2014 National Conference and allow citizens decide on it.
“APDA is saying that we need to restructure Nigeria, that if we restructure Nigeria, every Nigerian will have a sense of belonging.
“We made our stand clear that we want Nigerians to be allowed to vote on the 2014 national conference.
“Most, if not all the decisions of the conference, were not voted for; they were arrived at with unanimity.
“So, as a political party, we are thinking that it should be taken to the people to decide what they want to do with it.
“If we have the system running, people will not be clamouring for Biafra,” he said.
Ohaegbu said that the Federal Government should also engage the youths who are heating up the polity in peace talks rather than threatening them.
According to him, this will be more productive than discussing with elders who have little influence over them.
The APDA chieftain blamed the political elite for the problems of the youth, saying that the elite equipped youths with i-pads and smart phones “to insult each other while they wined and dined, leaving the youth frustrated”.
On the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Anambra, he said that the party was ready to take over power from the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).
Ohaegbu said that Anambra people deserved more from what they were getting from APGA government under Gov. Willie Obiano, adding that they could not continue to see government run with propaganda.
He said that APGA should no longer use the face of late Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu as its logo, adding that it was an insult to him and the Igbo nation.
“What is it that APGA has done? It has gone to the point that as Ndi-Igbo, we need to come out and be firm that our leader, Ikemba Odumegwu Ojukwu should not be a logo of any political party.
“It has to stop. Every APGA billboard you see in Anambra as we speak today has the picture of Ojukwu. Is he the logo of APGA?
“Ojukwu belongs to Ndi-Igbo; it is an insult for any political party to use Ojukwu as its logo,” he said.
Ohaegbu urged the electorate in the state and the entire country to endeavour to take part in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
The Okun Development Initiative has backed representative of Kogi-West senatorial district, Senator Dino Melaye against an ongoing recall campaign against him.
A total of 188,580 electorates have signed the recall register in a bid to sack the senator from his position.
The senator has received backing from the Okun group in a statement signed by the group's chairman, Professor Eyitayo Lambo, a former Minister of Health, claiming it is a forgery.
"The Okun Development Initiative, a prominent socio-cultural association from the western part of Kogi State, declares that the signatures being bandied about as those of the constituents of Senator Dino Melaye, seeking to recall him, are actually not from Kogi-West, the district Melaye represents in the Senate.
"The prerogative of any constituent to exercise his or her constitutionally guaranteed right to recall is inalienable but it is obvious the initiators and instigators of the current attempt against Senator Dino Melaye are not from Kogi-West but lackeys and cronies of constituted authority, an apparent outcome of misguided advice to those insistent on dividing and decimating Okun land politically for egoistic purposes.
"Selfish political aspirations are being satiated to the detriment of the collective good of Okun people with Okunland primed for another political experiment and some of our sons and daughters have become willing lab rats.
"The precarious situation of Okun persons in the vanguard of the recall saga is not only pitiable but pathetic but our elders admonish that when sent a slavish message, the virtuous will deliver same like a freeborn.
"The gauge of loyalty is now synonymous with treachery and understandably so for those who cannot fathom life outside political office or patronage from government.
"The modalities that procured the purported signatures from investigations are fraught with lots of irregularities and illegalities.
"Consequently, we wish to state unequivocally that any calculated attempt to cause chaos and avoidable confusion in Okunland will be resisted legally with all the resources at our disposal."
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has acknowledged receipt of the petition and notified Melaye who has dismissed it as a vindictive campaign against him by Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello.
Opera is doubling down on social in its battle for browser relevance.
Opera
Thanks to add-ons and extensions, modern browsers are capable of much more than just accessing websites. However, unless you know what you're looking for, finding useful tools isn't necessarily easy. Instead of relying solely on its extension marketplace, Opera hopes to claw back market share from Google Chrome by incorporating additional features into its eponymous software. We've already seen it roll out low-power mode and a fully-featured VPN, but now it's making things a lot more social by integrating messaging apps like WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram into its sidebar.
The features are included in a new version of Opera, codenamed "Reborn." It takes a lot of inspiration from the company's experimental Neon browser, which debuted in January. Instead of using the web or desktop versions of your favorite messaging apps, Reborn neatly arranges them on the side of your browser window, allowing you to chat while you browse.
The feature works in two ways. First, you can pin the icons to the sidebar and click them when you feel the need to chat. The other option is to pin the chat window so that it sits alongside your current tab. If you want to share a photo you've found online, simply drag it to the messenger's icon and the browser will take care of the rest.
While messaging is the banner announcement, Reborn does come with a few additional features. The browser itself has been given a fresh look, with lighter tabs and improved icons. You can also switch between light and dark themes depending on your mood and control how the browser blocks ads. Opera says that while only three services are available at launch, it hopes to add more in the near future.
Opera
Thanks to add-ons and extensions, modern browsers are capable of much more than just accessing websites.
However, unless you know what you're looking for, finding useful tools isn't necessarily easy. Instead of relying solely on its extension marketplace, Opera hopes to claw back market share from Google Chrome by incorporating additional features into its eponymous software. We've already seen it roll out low-power mode and a fully-featured VPN, but now it's making things a lot more social by integrating messaging apps like WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram into its sidebar.
