.       The rubble of the collapsed school (copyright) Yemco Tragedy was averted today. Thanks to good thinking and quick reflexes .   Students and teachers at two schools owned by one proprietor, Yemco Nursery & Primary school, and Yemco Comprehensive College in Ogba, Lagos escaped de@th by the whiskers as the building housing the school started collapsing.   But, there was a brisk evacuation of the four-storey building minutes before it collapsed around noon today. Everyone escaped safely. Some call it a miracle , a work of God, especially it is pointed at a restaurant to ongoing Lent and Ramadan that played a huge part in the incident.  It is not impossible. But, let's praise the quick actions of the school's management too. Or is it solely a "miracle"?  But, why such a collapse? There was no rain or storm that could have caused this collapse unless the building was not structurally fit from the beginning. Houses built durin...

  Iran is one of the major suppliers of oil in the world.  Expectedly, as war broke out between aIran and a US-Israeli coalition last week, many economists projects a significant rupture in global oil prices in its aftermath.  Now, the war's impact has landed on the shores of Nigeria . Dangote Refinery , which is the largest private refinery in Nigeria, threw the first shot.  The refinery has increased the gantry cost of oil to N1,175.  Prices of goods and services will jump up now. Religious Ramadan and Lent fasts met a perennial fast in the belly of Nigerians already. This is hunger raised to 100 power ratio. Government should do something to alleviate this. 

The late kart stalwart  (copyright) APC This man had a robust, energetic day. It was crowned with his attendance at an Iftar dinner at Sheraton Hotel, Abuja, where his boss hosted eminent party dignitaries to break the Ramadan fast, March 6. They all had a vibrant evening filled with happy talks, jokes and night hopes for the immediate future starting w the impending National Convention amidst a feast of good food. The gathering dispersed at 9 pm in that atmosphere of conviviality. On getting home, this man complained to his wife that he could not breathe properly. She rushed him to the hospital. As emergency medical personnel rushed to wheel him in, he was already de@d. De@ad on arrival.  Just over an hour and half after leaving the Sheraton Iftar dinner.   That is why the  All Progressives Congress (APC) is was shocked and deeply saddened by the death of the man,  a highly respected Party Chieftain, Dr. Chamberlain Dunkwu, at 54.

  The Nigerian police and military forces hauling complained of gross neglect and severe under payment in view if the grave risks they encounter daily.  Worse, their pension, for those who made it to the 35 years of service, get pittance as pension. Subsequent administrations hardly did anything to change this narrative. In the case of the police, even after the Police Service Commission was set up, there is no visible change in police'' welfare across Nigeria.  It got so bad that police officers have to buy their uniforms and boots as well as stationery used at police stations.. But, joy is coming! President Bola Tinubu just signed a mandate declaring and increase in the salaries of all secure personnel in Nigeria .. Will this lead to better efficiency? Or more of the same? Drop your thoughts.
