Somber news to start with,THISDAY witnessed yet another sad event when an early morning fire on Saturday razed the fourth floor of it's corporate offices in Lagos.

This is such sad news,as this is one publication that strives to paint the nation in a better light to others.Hopefully,things will work out great for them.
Another air disaster could have been witnessed on Saturday,if the pilot of a light plane(Beechcraft)which belongs to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture(IITA)Ibadan,hadnt aborted take-off after a bird was said to have hit one of the engines of the aircraft at the Ibadan airport.No lives were lost,neither was anyone injured.The Ibadan airport has been shut following the incident.
Na wa for all the birds in 9ja that are causing mishap!
Nigeria's aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode has accused two UK airlines of treating Nigerian passengers with the "utmost contempt".He said British Airways and Virgin Atlantic could face "major sanctions" over alleged maltreatment of Nigerians on their flights.But British Airways says it is "very distressed" by the comments and shortly after released a statement,"We will be visiting the minister personally next week to address his concerns."
Na una sabi,just make the queues at Heathrow and Gatwick disappear!
Samuel Akinbode Sadela Nigeria's oldest preacher at 107 said he derived his strength from God after marrying a 30-year woman.He said "The Lord is my strength.I am very strong and energetic" after the wedding in Lagos.Sadela who is the founder of Gospel Apostolic Church has been on the pulpit for 75 years,has been married twice previously.
TuFace has voted to take up the challenge of supporting the less privileged in society by setting up a Non Governmental Organization.The NGO known as Innocent Dibia Foundation is conceived to among other things assist indigent patients access quality health care irrespective of their ethnic or religious background.TuFace who made this known in Abuja when he paid a courtesy call on Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital Dr Segun Ajuwon said that modalities have been set in motion to fast track release of funds from his organizations to support indigent members of society who require immediate medical attention but are incapable of bearing the cost.
Good on you 2face,good on you!!
And in the circus that is the build-up to the General Elections,things are threatening to get even more crazy as in Abia state,the Secretary to the State Government,Chief Ralph Egbu announced at the weekend that evidence of voter-registration has become additional qualification for receipt of workers' salary in the state...which means,"you dont vote,you dont get paid!!!".Apparently only 293,219 people out of an expected 1.5 million qualified residents of the state had registered to vote.
Goodluck with that one ya'll!
