Lagos State Schools Resumes For Academic Work On October 8

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN, Sunday announced October 8, 2014, as new date for resumption of schools in the State for academic work saying the one week extension from Monday 22 would be used to conclude the distribution of personal hygiene and other preventive materials against Ebola infection in all the schools.
Making the announcement at a meeting with teachers of public schools in the State at the LTV Blue Roof Hall, Agidingbi (Lagos) Governor Fashola said the October 8 date was arrived at by the State Executive Council after considering the fact that the Eid-El-Kabir public holidays was already around the corner, adding that it would not be ideal to break the school programme again soon after resumption.

Genevieve Nnaji vs Omtotola Ekeinde -By Charles Novia

Movie director, Charles Novia, has inadvertently fanned the flame of ‘supposed rivalry’ between Genevieve and Omotola with a recent post on his Facebook page, where he congratulated the Nollywood recipients of the Nigerian National Awards.

Kenneth Nnebue, Joke Silva and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde were given national honours by the President, and Novia sought to make comparisons between Omotola and Genevieve’s acting skills.
Here is what he wrote after the cut.....

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is known to many. Her acting prowess is arguably in a class by itself and her being nominated as one of the world’s 100 most influential persons by TIME magazine a couple of years back must have paved the way for her present national recognition by the Federal Government. Frankly speaking, I personally think she has more depth in acting than her ‘rival’ Genevieve Nnaji. I have worked with both of them in the past and also studied their acting styles. Omotola has the gift of role immersion. She gives everything into her characters. There is an organic style of interpretation she is gifted with. Very few actors have that. She Is not a Method Actor, mind you but she has delivered roles which many method actors would give her a standing ovation for.”

Genevieve, on the other hand, is a fantastic actress and a trend – setting one too. But she lacks the intrinsic ability to evolve artistically beyond her present heights in her career. That is my opinion. There is an underlying stereotype in her interpretation of her roles in many of her movies; a linear aloofness and veiled disdain at the thought of being pushed further down the exploratory lane. Of course she has an uncanny screen presence which generally veils her artistic shortcomings when it comes to acting and between her and her rivals, she comes tops on the fan base list. However, with an attitude which seems to say she has nothing more to prove, even the fans would become restless if new artistic exploits are not offered from her to which they can beat their chests.”

Charles Novia, however, said that his post was not an attempt to rekindle old rivalries between the actresses.

“And for fans of both actresses, this is a professional review of their acting abilities and not an attempt to rekindle old rivalries. Somehow, this post on the National Honours dove tailed into their artistry. All well and good.”

Do u agree with him?

The pastor has come under severe criticisms owing to the church’s collapsed building which killed at least 115 people.

The statement also urged the Synagogue church adherents and supporters not to be misled by the said report.
“Do not be misled and diverted from the truth. No matter how long a lie is sustained, the truth will someday prevail. Jesus is the Truth,” the statement urged.

Police Arrest Woman For burrying One-Day Child Alive

The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested a woman, Ms Patience Aaron, for attempting to kill her new born baby girl.

It was learnt that Aaron, an indigene of Afaha Abia village, in the Nsit Ibom Local Government Area of the state, on September 14, buried her one-day baby alive.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Gabriel Achong, said during a press conference in Uyo on Thursday that the baby was rescued alive nearly five hours after she had been buried.

“The state police detective on September14, 2014 arrested one Patience Aaron of Afaha Abia village in the Nsit Ibom LGA for attempting to kill the baby girl she gave birth to.

“Patience buried her one-day-old baby in a shallow grave. The baby was rescued alive. Investigation is in progress,” he said.

The CP, however, added that it was discovered that Aaron was ill and had been taken to a hospital

The command also arrested 36 others for various offences, ranging from murder to foiled armed robbery and recovery of N8.9m between the months of August and September.

The command arrested one Kufreobong Anwana in the University of Uyo for possession of improvised explosive devices. Another suspect, Udo Effiong, was nabbed for stealing two solar batteries and a panel. One Andre Moses, a driver with Union Bank Plc, Lagos, was picked up for absconding with his boss’ Hyundai and selling the vehicle to a Ghanaian in Port Harcourt.

Achong said the police also rescued stolen children ─ Goodness Sunday (2years); David Eyo (2years); Edikan Sunda (9years); and Gift Joshua (13 years).

The commissioner also explained that on August 25, a manager of a telecommunications company in Ikot Ekpene with one of his drivers went to lodge N8.9m in a bank.

He added that some hoodlums on a motorcycle trailed them, shot the driver of the vehicle and dispossessed them of the money. He said the police rounded up the hoodlums and recovered the money.

Achon said, “Also, the police foiled a robbery at Okobo on September 18. Our police operatives in the Okobo division successfully repelled some hoodlums who invaded Union Bank Plc, Okobo branch and blew off a part of the banking hall and a part of the Automated Teller Machine with dynamite.

“It is pertinent to note that no life or money was lost in the incident. A serious manhunt for the fleeing criminals is on.”

Five persons were also paraded in connection with the beheading of one Godwin Inuen from Ikot Umo Essien in the Essien Udim LGA.

The suspects include Patience Bassey, Nsisong Edet, Michael Akpan and Enefiok James.

A syndicate of four persons who specialised in stealing parked motorbikes in churches were also arrested.

They are Ndifreke Akang, Ubong Etuk, Solomon Etim and Ubong Matthew, among others.

Akpan, who is the father of the boy that was beheaded and also a suspect in the crime, said he was shocked that the crime was linked to him.

“My son was killed. I did not know who killed him. As for me, I don’t have a part in the beheading of my son,” he said.
