Posted: 30 Aug 2013 12:15 AM PDT

There was mayhem at the Seme border area of Lagos State on Thursday after a 35-year-old man, Saturday Joel, was shot by officials of the Nigerian Customs Service.
Eyewitnesses said Joel was hit by a stray bullet while some customs officers were trying to apprehend a motorist who was smuggling a red Volkswagen bus from Benin Republic into Nigeria.

It was learnt that after the shooting, some residents took to the streets in protest. The residents were said to have alleged that customs officials had killed at least three motorists this month under the pretext that they were smugglers.



It was learnt that in the ensuing pandemonium, the customs officials stationed in the area fled. However, a Superintendent of Customs, identified as J. I Motojelu, was said to have been driving by at the time.
PUNCH Metro learnt that in retaliation, the angry mob, led by a community leader, dragged the officer out of his Toyota Corolla car marked ABJ 663 DW, and killed him.
It was learnt that the irate mob, also set the deceased officer's vehicle ablaze and set up bonfires at the centre of the road.The culprits were said to have used the opportunity to steal some items that had previously been seized by customs.
A police source said, "Motojelu, who knew nothing about the incident was beaten to death. The mob opened a customs patrol van stationed nearby and took a G3 rifle with 30 rounds of ammunition kept inside it. They then set the vehicle ablaze."
A sad case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time....source(Punch)

Lagos ranked 4th worst city on earth

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 11:23 PM PDT

Eko o ni Baje Oooo. Lagos is ranked the 4th worst city on earth and the second-fastest growing city in Africa. This is courtesy of Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU
According to the list which has countries from Africa and Asia in the first three,Lagos shares its 137 position with Port Moresby, in Papua New Guinea
The report released yesterday reads....
"Rapid growth is not always a good thing because Lagos is now a magnet for two perpetual threats to peace: pirates and Islamist warriors.
Boko Haram have a problem with cities like Lagos and also lots of weaponry. Pirates threaten trade and use kidnapping as a method of funding. Islamist terrorist groups such as Boko Haram ("Education is forbidden") want to create their own version of heaven on earth by destroying cities such as Lagos and imposing strict sharia law. Lagos has enormous potential but as yet little to show for it – hence its poor ranking,"

Hmmn is it the same Lagos I live in or another one...

"Why I put a leash on romance""-Ruggedman

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 10:57 PM PDT

Awww who would have thought Rugeddybaba has a soft side? In this interesting interview with Vanguard,he talks about romance, why he won't show it unless with the right woman and ofcourse..he's still single(Ladies,what are you waiting for)?

 You seem not to be the romantic type?
Says who? I am very romantic when I'm with the right woman. Just like love and marriage, romance isn't something I throw around.
I remember one St. Valentine's day. I went to see my Val but I didn't meet her at home. I tied a rose(a real one not plastic) to her door and wrote my initials on a paper. When she returned and saw it, she knew I was the one who put it there.


The incident that made me put my romance in check happened years ago too on another St. Valentine's  day. I bought loads of gifts and  fifteen cards because I don't like getting just one. I even booked an hotel room for dinner and all. All she did was say "you shouldn't have done all these!" She didn't even bring me a card. After that, I put a leash on my romance. She has to be worth it before I show her that side of me.
Can't imagine a girl doing that to almighty Ruggedman.
No. At that time, it was just the start of my career. I hadn't even recorded Baraje.
So how do you feel having experienced the other side of love?
I learnt that life goes on no matter what, and you need to know who you do things for.
Does that mean you don't have anyone in your life?
Right now I don't have anybody in my life. It's been my work and me for a while now. Although it feels somehow sometimes, especially when I see couples out and about . But I find solace with the thought that the right person is out there for me.
So it means wedding bells isn't ringing any time soon?
I guess so but I'm very happy it's ringing for others and I pray their union stands the test of time.
But is it so hard to find the right woman?
I guess it is sometimes especially now that vanity rules. You find it hard knowing she is with you for you or your status.
It's like you've really had hard times with ladies.
Not at all, the ladies love me and I love them right back. It's getting the right one for me that's the issue. A while ago, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe looked at me and said "Rugged, it's not a curse but before you find a babe for you, it will be difficult." She said I'm a fine man, successful artiste and so, women will come and it will be hard to know who is who. Now I understand what she meant but God is in control
