IVD Arraigned Over His Wife's De@th
Auto dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly known as IVD, was on Monday, March 20, arraigned. This was done by Justice Nicole-Clay of a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja. The case was over the alleged m@nslaughter of his late wife Abimbola, who d!ed in a fire incident. This took place at their residence in the Lekki area of the state in October 2022.
 
The Lagos state government charged IVD to court on one count of involuntary manslaughter in suit No LD/21055C/23. At the resumed hearing of the case on Monday, March 20, the prosecuting counsel, Adeshola Bello, told the court that there was a mix-up in the date the alleged offense was committed.

“We have on record October 10 but the date was October 12,” Bello said. 

The prosecution counsel then urged the court to grant the prosecution permission to enable them to make an amendment, which the court granted. He told the court that the alleged offense committed contravened Section 229 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
 
When the charges were read to him, IVD pleaded not guilty.  His lawyer, Victor Ogunde, SAN, sought bail for the defendant. While seeking bail for the defendant, the judge asked why he was bringing a bail application even though the defendant was on bail since March 1. The defense counsel replied that the suit against his client was with a different charge number.

Consequently, Justice Nicole-Clay adjourned the case till March 30, May 24, and 25, 2023, for the commencement of trial.

Tinubu's tactics mirror those of Adolph Hi**er in the 1930s - Atiku spokesman

In a statement released by his spokesman, Frank Shaibu, the former Vice President of Nigeria has accused Bola Tinubu of instigating a dictatorship that could lead Nigeria back to the era of the late Military Head of State, Sani Abacha.

What he said: According to the statement, Tinubu's tactics mirror those of Adolph Hi**er in the 1930s, which involved profiling and using the Jews as a scapegoat. Shaibu alleges that Tinubu has launched an assault on the Igbo and all non-Yoruba speakers in Lagos.

“With what happened in Lagos, Tinubu has elevated dictatorship, scientific racism, and Yoruba tribal supremacy and wants to take it to the federal level."

"It is what Tinubu plans to bring to the centre: a N**i style of leadership that will make Nigerians view the past military dictatorship of Sani Abacha with nostalgia.”

The statement also pointed out that Tinubu has ruled Lagos for 23 years, during which the APC wins all local government elections.

What happened: However, during the governorship and State Assembly elections, pro-APC thugs reportedly target non-Yoruba ethnic groups, as seen in the recent attacks against Igbos in Lagos State.

“Prior to Saturday’s governorship election, Igbos were attacked in Lagos State. Markets majorly populated by Igbos were attacked and burnt down before the governorship election. During the election, some thugs believed to be loyal to the All Progressives Congress, APC, warned Igbos against coming out to vote,” the statement further alleged.

What you should know: The allegations come following the victory of the Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in Lagos State. It remains to be seen how Tinubu and the APC will respond to these accusations.

A 60-year-old bus diver, Olisofa Popoola, k!lled a pedestrian when he pressed the accelerator instead of the brake and crashed into another bus outside Victoria Station in London, the Old Bailey heard during his trial on Monday, March 20, 2023. 
 
Popoola was at the wheel of an electric 507 single decker bus when he caused the fatal crash which k!lled 32-year-old Melissa Burr.

Jurors heard Popoola was moving his vehicle forward when he crashed into the back of another 507 bus which was waiting to collect passengers outside the railway station.

Popoola, who later accepted he may have hit the accelerator instead of the brake, continued to drive forward even after his bus hit the other vehicle, the court heard.
 
Ms Burr was crossing the road in front of the front bus at the time of the crash, and was knocked down to the ground before being crushed under the vehicle.
 
The driver of the other 507 bus, Diana Mathuranayagam, was flung from her vehicle and suffered a badly fractured eye socket, it is said.

Prosecutor Alexander Williams said Popoola has admitted responsibility for the crash but argues it was careless rather than dangerous driving.

Jurors heard the crash happened at around 8.25am on 10 August 2021, when Burr, from Rainham, Kent, was crossing the road with two colleagues.
 
Mr Williams said Victoria station was busier than usual that Tuesday, as the Circle and District line was closed and commuters had taken to the buses.
 
"This case concerns a collision that he caused while driving a single decker 507 bus at the bus stand outside Victoria railway station”, he said.

The defendant drove his bus into the back of another 507 bus which was parked in front of his. He collided with its rear and pushed the parked bus forward so it ran over and collided with a pedestrian who was crossing in front of the parked bus.
 
"The driver of that parked bus who was standing at the open door at the time of the collision was thrown to the pavement. She suffered a badly fractured eye socket.

Rioters invade Ogun LG secretariat, cart away mace

Riotous protesters on Monday invaded the Sagamu Local Government secretariat in Sagamu, Ogun State, and carted away with the mace of the council's legislative house.

According to Galaxy News, the violent protest rocked Sagamu, earlier today as angry youths burnt down some banks in the town.

The protest attributed to the naira scarcity had begun in front of the palace of the Akarigbo of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi, with some youths barricading roads and setting bonfire.

Two commercial banks' branches - Keystone and Union - were set ablaze in the town.

But a youth leader in the town, Kayode Segun-Okeowo, described the act as a "motivated destruction and not a protest."

"This is not a protest. I'm a comrade and understand the ABC of protest. It's motivated to cause destruction.

"Those behind this must stop," he told Daily Trust in a telephone interview.

Newsmen gathered that the riotous protesters later advanced to the council secretariat, invaded offices and carted away with the mace.

The Council Chairman, Afolabi Odulate confirmed the development to reporters in a telephone conversation.

The Police Spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi disclosed that at least 27 suspects have been arrested in connection with the riot.

"The riots have been brought under control in the greater parts of Sagamu., including the Sagamu- Ijebu Ode Express Road.

"Currently, the Commissioner of Police in charge of Ogun State, CP Frank Mba, is personally leading a combined team of policemen and soldiers to tackle the rioters on Bank Road in the centre of Sagamu," Oyeyemi said in a terse statement.

Dear Righteous Young Single Brother:

Her shape won’t raise your children. Her skin color won’t brighten the future of your kids.

It goes beyond the physical.
It goes beyond the natural. Marry the right mind, One deeply rooted in Christ Jesus.

What the eyes of men are seeing in marriage is not popularly discussed. The society has been made to believe that women are always the victim.

It takes a woman with the right mind to help you see the clearer picture of your future as a righteous and forward thinking man.

This kind of woman is not for everybody. She’s not regular, she’s not loud.

Find her in spirit and in truth and not with your physical sight.

Reasons Why Love Hurts so Much

Love is painful primarily because people often place too many expectations on the emotion. In many cases, it can’t live up to that high of a bar.

Let’s look at some things that occur to cause pain in love.

1. Fear of the unknown.
When you love someone so much it hurts, there can be fear associated with the future. Many people worry if their partnership will progress forward or if a mate’s feelings might begin to fade. That apprehension can be painful.

2. Love is not always a given entitlement to receive a reward.
If you love someone so much it hurts, and with the expectation that the feelings will be reciprocated, but the partner is not as enthusiastic about the relationship as you hope, you will be hurt in the end.

3. When you can't control the relationship.
When it hurts to be in love, it’s often due to a lack of control. You can’t ensure the other person develops the same feelings at the same pace or with the same “strength” as you believe you’re experiencing.

When you are unable able to “push” your partner along can send you spiraling and be scary and painful.

REASONS MORE SINGLES ARE MARRYING LATE...

Money is the number one culprit.

Yes! Money!

A room and parlour self contain in my area costs #200,000 (per annum) that is if the landlord really likes you and shows you mercy!

A 3 bedroom flat is almost #500,000 in total package. That is very cheap.

A room and parlour self contain in the heart of Lagos is about N800,000 in total package. N450,000 per annum if God shows you favour! A 2 bedroom flat at some places goes for N1,000,000 only.

How much do you earn per annum?

A grown up adult needs at least N3000 meal to survive per day. That is N90,000 per month for one person. How much do you earn per month?

I don't mean to scare you, you need to actively work on your income if you must get married on time and marry comfortably well.

It's okay to start small. Don't remain small. That is the problem! That is the challenge of many singles claiming they want to start small.

20 years from now, they are still earning same income or less. What exactly is the problem?

Have a growth mentality. Enter into marriage with a mindset to grow, multiply, be fruitful and replenish!

Have a clean clear vision of becoming financially independent and actively work towards it.

Erase this mentality that all fingers are not equal or you can't be rich. Go for deliverance if that limiting mentality is hindering you from succeeding.

You don't need to wait till you grow grey hair before getting married. Start with what you have but never be complacent with what you have.

Actively grow your income. Learn how to make more money. Learn to invest. Try multiple streams of income. You need both passive and active income to stay alive this 2022 and beyond.

Stop delaying your wedding and stop being lazy. Work hard and become rich.
