BREAKING: POLL SHOWS STRONG DISAPROVAL TO PROBE AMBODE!



An overwhelming majority of lagosians has condemned the move by the Lagos State House of Assembly to probe the purchase of 820 buses by former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for public transportation, describing it  as unnecessary and diversionary! The poll result exposed the move as  a tactic designed to coarse and intimidate political appointees to submission and subject them to perpetual manipulation! They also faulted the subject of the probe insisting that the buses are visible for all to see and already in operation! These are some of the  startling revelations  plucked out from the hastily conducted  opinion poll to ascertain the mood of Lagosians after the news broke out last tuesday whether they are in support or not. A large majority views the attempt as no more than a kangaroo attempt to nail the former governor at all cost. The poll carried out in strategic districts around the Lagos metropolis showed a staggering 65% of Lagosians are clearly not in support of the probe expressing surprise at the motive coming so soon after the aborted attempt to impeach the former governor while in office including the non-release of the 2019 appropriation bill, which rightly frustrated his last days in office; and now the probe! This group of respondents rhetorically asked: is this not a confirmation that the Lagos Assembly has become a mere “rubber stamp”? Respondents in Surulere, Ikeja, Apapa, Orile, Ogba, Jibowu, Ojodu, Isheri areas all returned the same negative verdict. Those sampled include men and women from the age bracket of 25-60.  Their reasons were unanimous: This is an ill-advised move and should be halted immediately. The poll result showed the outcome of the probe was already premeditated and headed in one direction: to publicly ridicule an innocent man! 25% of the respondents expressed disgust at the sad turn of events calling the damning move a “witch-hunt”. They agreed that the House of Assembly being a cesspit of corruption itself, ordinarily lacks the potential to push for Ambodes’ indictment unless there was strong backing from “somewhere”; this group of people mostly 25-35 years bracket reminded Nigerians that the Assembly people are the same set of people that wanted to “impeach” the former governor while in office for no just cause! They also point to the manner he was frustrated at the party’s primary when he was completely isolated. The same set of accusers and judges are now set to fine tune their strategies to deliver the killer punch. Another 5% dismissed the probe as no more than a power play. They say Ambode’s refusal to “bow” for the powers that be, cannot go unpunished, noting that this is reminiscent of  Nigeria’s dirty style of politics. The remaining 5% said they are worried because they are turning democracy upside down noting that this is not  a case of   PDP versus APC, but APC against APC!  Above all, the poll results returned a verdict of  poor cooperation amongst the Yorubas who are adept at washing their linen in public, while other tribes are consolidating, regardless of the spate of kidnapping, marauding herdsmen, banditry and robbery enveloping the land concluding that the former governor is a Yoruba man like them and has nothing to do with 2023 politics!

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...

RAPE SAGA: FATOYINBO IN THE CLEAR?

Two months after Busola Dakolo’s rape claim against Mr. Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Church (COZA) cracks have begun to appear.   When the accusation first broke out in June, the backlash against the stylish COZA lead Pastor was so intense that it snowballed into frenzied demonstration by aggrieved Church members who subsequently barricaded the entrance to both Lagos and Abuja Church premises.   It did not take long for him to succumb to one of their demands to step down from the pulpit. But then reporters attached to Newspaperman went to town and began a discreet investigation into the affair.   First, the team discovered a “loophole” in Busola’s claim of being raped “ repeatedly ”, noting that the same person cannot be “raped” repeatedly, unless there must have been some sort of 'consent", “collaboration” or “cooperation” in place; something like a paddy paddy affair. Secondly, Fatoyinbo must have been extremely “crazy”, “r...
