An Open Letter to Governor Fashola

Good day Sir,

I am writing to you concerning what could be a dangerous situation at Ijegun to Ijagemo road of Igando/Ikotun Local Council Development Area, Lagos state Nigeria.

Because of the early winter thaw, and the rainy weather lately, there has developed series of potholes. This problem started as a small group of potholes I believe, which have since merged together into a gap which grows daily. The hole is now roughly five feet wide and getting large enough to swallow the rear of an entire car.
 
The roads are now deteriorating so quickly they are becoming impassable in anything other than a HGV or Tractor and even they run the risk of the road collapsing and sliding into the ditch. Boundary Lane at Hundred End is predicted to catastrophically fail anytime soon, endangering lives for the want of a bit of maintenance.
 
According to the contributions that was outlined to be done by our honorable of our constituency, Hon. Omotayo Aramide Oduntan (Mrs) who has been a member from July 4th 2011, which are:
 
* Rehabilitation  of federal water project in Alimosho constituency II (January 2012);

* Repairs of bad portion on Ijegun road;

* Silt clearing on Ijegun road and drainage, January 2012);

It is unfair to have this rigorous lies on the Lagos state house of assembly website. Looking at our political office holders ranging from the local government to the house assembly, Ijegun/Ijagemo has recorded the worst representatives in the whole local governments in Lagos state. I said that because there is no one that is trying to bring any developmental projects to the area and

INEC Inaugurates New Office in Alimosho

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday said that the inauguration of its new office in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos was part of efforts to give Nigerians the best in 2015.
Dr Adekunle Ogunmola, the Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC, Lagos State, spoke in Lagos at the official inauguration of the prototype office.
The office consists of five rooms, a store and a conference centre.
Ogunmola said: “The opening of this office today shows that INEC is making everything possible to give Nigerians the best by 2015.
“We thank the local government for accommodating us; In fact, when they called us to say that a plot of land was ready for us in Lagos to erect our office, we were surprised.
“When we informed the headquarters about the development, they asked us the local government

Why I sleep and wake up in coffins – Lagos Pastor

Prophet Samuel Olawale of “the Holy Michael Church of The Lord (Aladura) Cherubim and Seraphim along the Ikotun/Ejigbo area of Lagos state, known for sleeping in a coffin has opened up on why he makes sleeping in a grave and coffin a habit.

It is widely held that the acclaimed prophet does not only sleep in the grave but equally goes out with an empty coffin when evangelizing.

“Yes, it is true that I have a coffin covered with a black cloth in the church, it is in a big van. Not only this, I have a big hole dug by the altar. You can go and see it, take the picture. But for the grave or the hole, it is by the altar. And next time, I will open it for you while I am there. The two strange objects are pregnant with meanings. I have reasons why I am keeping them there.” He said.

He further said “Yes, it is true that I am carrying the coffin about while preaching and what I am trying to point out is that, no matter how wealthy you are, you will not leave this world with these money. It all ends here. You will not go into the grave with your wealth or with money, be you a civil servant who steals money, be you an armed robber, be you a landlord or a caretaker, your money and wealth ends here the moment you are dead.”

“Any time I go out, I would at times sleep in the coffin, telling everybody that, that is how we will end. Yes, we should remember this. If you are buried with expensive coffin, clothes and jewelleries, all will be stolen from you in a night and your carcass will be left. To me, life has no meaning until we come to God. Things are going wrong in this world and we should mend our ways. Yes, I even sleep there (in the coffin and the grave) at times too. To let us know that we will all end up in the grave!” He concluded.
