Dele Olojede is a Pulritzer prize winner but is yet to conquer courtesy. In a live media chat with President Goodluck Jonathan, the Next publisher could afford to cross his legs to tell anyone who cares 'I've been on this stage before, so this does not scare me one bit. Infact anyone who didn't know Mr President could be forgiven if he thought mr Olojede was calling the shots in Aso Rock. Ride on sir, but be warned pride goeth before a ...
Tricia Eseigbe is the host of the TV profile show bold faces. But she's not bold one bit. One she couldn't summon up enough courage to look into the camera. And couldn't do same to ward off a guy who came to disturb her mealtime at delta kitchen Surulere. Someone please tell Tricia to walk the talk
CMS is the acronym of one of Lagos oldest landmarks, the church missionary society. its rooftops speak of its age-old. They belly the body paint of its much admired walls and window treatment.
The plight of the 'irresponsible' seem not to border the four persons in the nearby phonecall umbrella. Afterall it was not their business to even tell the 'chief whip' custodian to tender justice with mercy. Maybe, just maybe, they have a vested interest in the boys' humilation on a Sunday evening by the road
The rains came down hard on Monday, June 14 2010 in Lagos. And they ensured that commuters stayed indoors. For this keke marwa driver this wasn't a time to stay idle. And in the security of the downpour, he packs by the road to take stock of his sales before the 'rainfull' disruption
The Lagos traffic is not one that will catch Femi Otedola napping. No way. Not with this luxury boat 'parked' at a floating jetty in front of his Zenon enclave. The son of a former Lagos state governor sure knows how to make his monies do the talking.
It's a humilating Sunday evening for these six chaps. Their offence was- playing street soccer on a busy Spencer road Yaba. So the 'appropriate' punishment of balancing on their toes at the adjacent street gate for nearly 45minutes is their lot. The rains came and saved their day otherwise...
The human spirit is an amazing one. And the strength of a woman is worthy of emulation. On a prolonged wet and rainy friday, this woman would have none of it. 'man has to survive' she seems to be saying as she dares the rain in her bid 2make ends smooth
Lagos is compact. The city is tight. And is the envy of other cities in Nigeria.it's a city of endless possibilities. This picture of Adetokumbo Ademola street Victoria Island is a proof to the vastness and grandeur of endless dreams
Looks like our banks do not care if the naira is battered or not. For them it's simply a case of deposit garbage in and garbage out. Skyebank Alausa simply don't care. That's the simple season they'd pay this customer a torn note and short change the customer a cool 1000 bucks. Did i hear someone say 'No Skyebank'
That was the question on my mind when my wife bought a pack of six tablets of Tetomosol and they were all fake. I felt horrible when last month she bought two tablets and it was same story. Really its embarrassing.
Something is not right with the homevideo industry in Nigeria. This crew was seen shooting on Spencer street Yaba with everything that has bedeviled the industry. Lack of preparedness and preliminary survey has seen the crew shoot a car pick up scene in front of a locked gate. Will we ever learn?
Lagos bus stops or shelters are coming 2 terms with modernity. And Adekunle bus stop murtala mohammed way Yaba, speaks of that newness. This is the third type of design and they are also representing. Check out the one at City mall Onikan and the others along Ikorodu road then you'll agree that Eko is for show
Fashola's Lagos is no longer conducive for street traders. By the magistrate court of Adebola Road in Surulere, a street trader displays her foodstuff but can't afford 2 show her face. It is a clarion call to all who care 'Lagos no go spoil lie lie.'
Relationships have their squabbles and this is one of such moments for this couple. The guy had apparently taken hold of the girls SIM card to assert his authority. The girl would not give in and insisted on retrieving her phone SIM. For over an hour on a wednesday morning on spencer street Yaba, this couple decided to make their private matter public. And one couldn't help but give them this publicity too-to salute their courage
Yes, this view through a vulcanizer's tent at Apapa road looks bland. But that's what he gets everyday- watching cars and people pass him by. It looks like no one notices him by the road. Ofcourse his hope is never deferred for too long. Very soon he would hardly notice this bland view. A puncture, a leak and a flat tyre will send a motorist his way. Then he will be too engrossed to worry about bland views. Or any other sorts but to earn his living: gauging, pumping and patching up.
It's a whole new world down there in the middle of this pix. Inside a motor park at marina Lagos by CMS stuff is pretty localised. Walking through at daytime only gives glimpses of the real thing. The little communities of bus drivers and conductors, taxi cab operators, area boys, local council and transport union officers, food vendors...all provide exhilarating sights, sounds, and gestures for the unschooled passerby and commuter
Sleep can be colourful. Tis is what this well made bed seems to be saying. The ambience of the entire room is heavily accentuated by the bed. One couldn't resist taking this pix cos apart from the bed being well laid, the combo of the adjoining wall colour and that of the duvet was a pleasing feed for the eyes
Let's be serious- both men here Wayne Bridge (in white jersey) and John Terry (in blue jersey) need help. Bridge is playing the victim's card and doesn't want 2 come over it. His compatriot Terry is playing the part of the arrogant bully that is been edged on by his gang. Bridge expects the world to stop at his feet and address his case before anything else. Terry believes he's on top of his game and hence expresses no remorse over his actions. Some of us have taken sides in this matter not minding that the tables may turn tomorrow. Yet a few of us have refused to take a stand forgeting that if we fail to stand for something, we will fall for anything.
The story of this bike is like the many cases of gra gra in our national life. The owners of this bike always ensured that this bike was put indoors before going to bed every night. December 2009 came and the owners completely forgot to continue the trend. And so for a period of over two weeks, this bike was left to taste the harsh cold of the Yultide.
