Freeze Questions Why Ayodele Daniel Dada's Achievement Of Becoming The First Nigerian Graduate with a 5.0 G.P.A Isn't Celebrated As We Did To Jumoke Orisaguna..... The Bread Seller Turned Model.

Freeze took to his IG page to express his feelings on Jumoke Orisaguna instant rise to fame with various endorsements while Ayodele who finished with a 5.0 CGPA from the University of Lagos isn't getting any deal. Continue below...

Before Ayodele, no one had 'EVER' finished with a perfect CGPA in UNILAG!!! Since it was established in 1962, he made history by becoming the first to achieve such a commendable feat!

Now, so many questions come to mind. How come my dear friend Kunbi of 'April with Kunbi' hasn't styled him or recommended him for styling? How come CNN hasn't done a story on him? How come his life isn't documented on blogs daily? How come he isn't a brand ambassador for any product?

The questions are ceaseless.

Ciara put up a post of an equally beautiful traffic hawker selling some type of fruit yesterday and she was described, in Ciara's own words as 'beautiful and talented'. If these two 'hawker beauties' were discovered less than 2 months apart, it means that beautiful girls that hawk commodities aren't in short supply in Lagos.

While people who finish with with a 5.0 CGPA are almost non existent! It took 54 years to produce the first one!

While Olajumoke and this other lady are rough stones that could be polished to achieve a lustrous shine, Ayodele is a true jewel, a rare yellow diamond in its truest and purest form.

Let's not let our 'poverty mentality', that makes things of lesser importance seem valuable, cloud our judgement. I have no objection to polishing stones to bring out their shine, but please let's not do it at the expense of gems of inestimable value!

The outcome of our future depends largely on 'what' or 'whom' we invest in. If Japan, Switzerland or America invested their time and money in pretty bread sellers, we won't have the brains behind their automotive, aeronautic, horological or financial achievements today.

I'm not saying we shouldn't celebrate Olajumoke o! Before people call me a hater but like hell we must celebrate Ayodele first! Just my thought on a Saturday evening~FRZ

Fake Policeman Who Bought Police Walkie-Talkie For N2,000 Was Arrested In Ketu, Lagos.

For two years, 45-year-old Dele Oduwole had operated as a fake traffic policeman around Ketu area of Lagos.

His specialty: arresting traffic offenders and extorting money from them.

Oduwole, who ran out of luck recently, said he and an accomplice had arrested a motorist at Ketu and impounded his vehicle before a suspicious policeman challenged them about their identities.

The suspect said he preferred to operate with just a walkie-talkie rather than putting on a fake police uniform.

According to him, he lost his job at the Agboyi Local Government secretariat, Lagos where he worked as an enforcement officer in the traffic unit about two years ago.

The suspect said he didn’t go to the extent of acquiring a police uniform in order not to draw too much attention.

Oduwole said, “After losing my job at the Agboyi Local Government secretariat, I realised that I had become good at arresting traffic offenders. So, I simply continued my work by telling people that I was a policeman in mufti.

“I realised that people respect policemen when they are holding a walkie-talkie. A friend told me where I could get the radio cheaply and I went there. I bought the walkie-talkie for N2,000 at Oshodi.

“The walkie-talkie does not even work. I swear it has never worked since I bought it. But for the period I used it, people obeyed me anytime I stopped a vehicle for any traffic offence. “I was actually helping the government. For example, the man we arrested before we were arrested was actually making a call while driving. That is a crime.”

Oduwole claimed that he had not used his fake police identity to commit any other crimes. But the police have said investigations are ongoing to determine if he had been involved in more grievous crimes while parading himself as a policeman.

No PVC, No Govt. Patronage, Fayose Warns Eligible Ekiti Citizens

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has told citizens of the state who have attained age 18 and above but have no Permanent Voter Cards that they risk losing their rights and privileges in the state.

He said, “If you don’t have your PVC, you may no longer enjoy benefits from government because very soon, about 10,000 people will benefit N10, 000 monthly in our social security scheme.”

Fayose Sacks Revenue Boss, Two Arrested For Forgery

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has relieved the Chairman of the State Internal Revenue Board, Ropo Ogunjobi, of his duties for negligence leading to an alleged fraud running into millions of Naira.

Two other officials of the board were on Thursday arrested by the police in connection with the alleged fraud.

The two suspected racketeers allegedly forged the receipts meant for the newly introduced fee for Tipper Trucks’ Haulage.

The suspects, Mr. Omotayo Ojo, an official of the revenue board and a printer, Mr. Akinniyi Akinsola, have reportedly made confessional statements to the police upon interrogation, indicting some other members of staff. Ojo reportedly confessed to have made N250, 000 from the fraud with the backing of some senior officials of the board.

He reportedly said he had printed 10 booklets of receipts with which he had been defrauding the government by collecting N500 rate per trip from tipper truck owners.

Although, the amount involved in the scam was not immediately known, sources said it could run into millions of Naira.

The governor warned the people of the state to stop paying money directly to any government official but rather approach the banks for such payments.

The governor, in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Modupe Alade, said, “The Revenue Chairman, Ropo Ogunjobi, who also doubles as Special Assistant to the State Governor on Revenue Matters, should hand over to the most senior officer of the board.”

Fayose said the arrested duo would be prosecuted to serve as deterrent to others while expressing surprise that workers could still engage in defrauding the state despite the dwindling economic fortunes of the state.

He said, “The people should stop paying to the officials of the board. They should pay to the banks because these touts were on the rampage and they can dupe you. “Ekiti needs money and you all know that this has been the headache of this government and we have been doing our best to shore up the revenue, but these people are desperate to thwart our efforts. They are cornering our money

Glo debunks sacking P-Square as Brand Ambassadors.

It should be recalled that blogosphere was awash with reports of the purported sack of the pop duo during the week. It was alleged that the company fell out with one-half of the group, Peter, over his conduct during the grand finale of his sponsored reality show, Glo Dance

With Peter late last year. Peter reportedly insulted officials of the company for failing to keep to their own side of the bargain regarding the competition. And when the honcho of the company, Dr. Mike Adenuga heard about the incident, he was furious, and declared that P-Square should be dropped as ambassadors.

However, a trusted source in Glo revealed to Showtime that the telco is yet to take a decision on the fate of P-Square with the company.

The source also stated that this situation is not peculiar to P-Square alone as the company is presently deliberating on whether or not to renew the contracts of the ambassadors whose deals are up for renewal.

Speaking further, the source assured Showtime that a decision on the company’s brand ambassadors would be reached in a couple of days.

Honorable Rotimi Agunsoye Gives Back To His Community.... He Empowers 200 Graduates In Kosofe Local Government.

The House of Representatives member representing Kosofe federal constituency area of Lagos State, Hon. Rotimi Agunsoye, says by putting smiles on the faces of others in meeting their needs, he relaxes too.

For some politicians, politics is simply about convincing people to vote for you, winning elections, serving your term and either returning home at the expiration of it or coming back to your constituency to ask for their votes again and again. Yet, for some others, politics is about the people, who voted you into office and as such, they could go the extra length to make them happy.

A member, House of Representatives from Kosofe Federal Constituency of Lagos State, Hon. Rotimi Agunsoye, is an example of politicians with a passion to give back to their constituencies and according to him, it is his most pleasurable and relaxing experience, when he is able to impact positively on peoples' lives.

To Agunsoye, holding elective office in trust for the people requires energy, time and commitment such that it does not leave ample time to play around. Yet, for him, who has always relished the company of people as a way to unwind, identifying their peculiar needs and meeting those needs - within his capacity - would pass for a perfect pastime. "Politics, particularly for those holding elective offices are quite demanding in the sense that you have to work tirelessly to meet the aspirations of your people at all times. Whenever I am able to do something that puts smiles on the faces of my people, I would say that is what relaxes me.

"I feel very comfortable and happy when I am sure that what I have done is having positive impacts on my constituency and that is my purpose in politics," he said last Monday during a skill acquisition empowerment scheme in the oil and gas, constructions, ICT and agriculture he had organised for 200 graduates. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, Hon Gbenga Ashafa, Hon Mrs Kemi Nelson, Hon Desmond Elliot and lot more were present at the event.

Unlike most other empowerment schemes, Agunsoye's programme, which is being undertaken in collaboration with Nationwide Apprenticeship Scheme for Technicians, Artisans, Entrepreneurs and Agro-preneurs, is designed to professionally prepare and equip the 200 trainees and secure them with job placement with blue chip companies after the training, even in the establishments, where they received their trainings.

According to the lawmaker, the trainees will also enjoy monthly stipends from him as encouragement in the course of undertaking the various courses, which would last for more than six months. He considers the initiative as a better empowerment package compared to the conventional system where most of the equipment given out is sold. "But with what we are doing, we are not giving them fish (money), instead, we are teaching them how to fish and I can assure you that it will have greater impact."

Asked what his motivation for embarking on the scheme was, Agunsoye said: "I consider it as a way to give back to the people, who brought me to where I am today. One way or the other, these people brought me to where I am today; to step beyond a life and a job I love, to make a commitment to larger course, preserving Kosofe, Lagos State, Yoruba and the Nigerian dream - restoring hopes of the forgotten people of this constituency and reclaiming the future of our children.

"Without mincing words, in today's Nigeria, the ravaging disease facing our economy remains unemployment. It is a terrible thing, but unfortunately it has become an everyday normality. Unfortunately, there is an abundance of workers but not enough jobs. On the other hand, there are plenty of jobs but workers do not have the right skills of experience to handle the jobs. "Either way, these have made unemployment to be on a steady increase, a trend that further plunges the Nigerian economy. It has led to series of societal menaces and it is making living extremely frustrating to the unemployed youths.

"Therefore, on my part, I want to reinvent representation, make it more different - people oriented, efficient and more impacting.

Sad! BRT Bus Crushes Okada Man to Death in Ikorodu Area Of Lagos (PHOTOS)

Panic gripped the Agric area of Ikorodu, Lagos on Thursday 25th of Feb. 2016 when a BRT vehicle crushed a commercial motorcycle rider, Taiwo Adeleye, to death. The deceased was said to have fallen on the BRT corridor and his head smashed open by the bus’ rear tire. Adeleye was said to have dropped off a passenger and wanted to return to the road to pick another when he fell into the barricade and onto the ground. The bus then climbed on his head, crushing it and splattering  his brain all over the road.

A security officer, who gave a different account, said the accident was caused by a jeep which hit the motorbike rider sending him crashing on the ground before the bus climbed and killed him. The security officer said the jeep had sped off ignorant of the damage it had caused.

There would have been a major breakdown of order but for the heavy presence of the police in the area as other bike riders were said to have been mobilising to cause mayhem on other BRT buses on the route. The Rapid Response Squad was said to have responded swiftly to distress calls and hovered the area with their chopper before their vehicles arrived the scene.  The bus driver, Oguntoyinbo Akinola, was later arrested by the police.
