Third Mainland Bridge To Be Reopened On November 6

The Federal Ministry of Works, on Thursday,
disclosed that the Third Mainland Bridge will be
fully opened to traffic from November 6, as
scheduled by the contractor, Borini Prono.
The Director, South-west, Federal Ministry of
Works, Ejike Mgbemena, disclosed that according
to the work plan made available by the
contractor, the bridge would have been opened
for use last week because work was ahead of
schedule but due to the contractor’s inability to
apply some finishing touches, the opening was
postponed.
“I’m sorry to inform you of the postponement of
the opening of Third Mainland Bridge. We lately
discovered that the on-going pavement repair
works will not be ready earlier than anticipated
and this is responsible for this postponement”
he apologised.
Meanwhile, Mgbemena has revealed that the
Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, will be in
Lagos on Tuesday to declare the bridge open
and to thank Lagos residents for their patience.

We Have No Hand In Our Mum’s Death – Psquare React To Accusations Of Sacrificing Mum For Fame

This news is strange! Even a whiff of the rumor, I
never heard or read of anywhere. For anyone to
begin to insinuate that multi-platinum selling duo
of Peter and Paul Okoye, popularly known as
Psquare sacrificed their mother for whatever
reason, is the height of irresponsibility and
madness. As far as we know, they’ve attained the
height of success even before their mom took ill
and eventually passed away.

Here’s an excerpt of their reaction to the rumour:

How do you feel about your mum’ s death?
We feel so bad to know that our mum is no
more. But who are we to question the Almighty
God. Traditionally, we are supposed to bury her
and not the other way round. It is just that it
happened so soon.. Indeed, her death was a big
blow to us.
It was rumoured that you people knew what
happened to her?
Then, it is too bad to hear that people are
accusing us of being responsible for our mum’s
death. We are not blaming anybody. People are
free to say what they want to say. We begin to
wonder whether there is anything that will ever
make us to go for the life of our beloved mother.
Her life cannot be quantified in terms of money
or fame. So, our answer to this question is that
we have no hand in our mum’s death. We only
blame the death that snatched her away from us
if not so, people won’t be pointing accusing
fingers at us. She died after a brief illness.
Aside your mum’s death, there was another
rumour that you guys have joined Illuminati?
We are short of words. Why would anybody say
such things about us? Well, the fact remains that
we do not belong to any secret cult,  whether
Illuminati or anything you call it. We owe our
achievements and everything that is happening
to us to Almighty God.

Ten Tips To Survive Without Okada in Lagos

Now that Fashola has decided to ban Okada on
Lagos roads and suggested we start trekking,
here are some few tips that you use to help
you cope without our usual quick bike rides to
our daily destinations.
10. Buy shoe protectors, replace as the need
arises.
9. In relation to number 10, carry an extra pair of
foot wear (preferably slippers) in your bag (men
inclusive). That bag should also carry the
following: a small umbrella, water bottle and
small chops to go.
8. Wear casual clothes to work, change into your
official clothes at work, then change back to the
casual clothes for the journey back home. You
don’t want to look too official while trekking.
7. For the ladies, this is the time to smile from
ear to ear with that ugly male colleague who
drives a car and lives near your residence.
6. For the guys, buy a car before your girlfriend’s
colleague starts to take her home.
5. Save the money for your gym membership,
you are getting enough exercise already.
4. Start trekking groups in your office, class,
church, mosque etc. After all it is said that a trek
trekked with companion is no trek at all.
3. Learn how to entertain yourself in your own
space. Stock up on game consoles, books,
magazines, movies etc. Pay that DSTV
subscription too.
2. As the crime rate increases due to the okada
ban, buy a gun.
1. If none of the above works, pack go your
village and fulfil Fashola’s innate dream for Lagos
state .

Incredible: Man walks from Bosnian to Mecca

A Bosnian pilgrim who
left last December on pilgrimage to
Mecca on foot said that he has arrived
after passing through seven countries
including Syria. “I arrived in Mecca on
Saturday. I am not tired, these are the
best days of my life,” Senad Hadzic,
47, said when reached by phone on a
Saudi mobile number. He said that he
had covered some 5,700 km in 314
days of walking through Bosnia,
Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria and
Jordan to Saudi Arabia, with a
backpack weighing around 20 kg.
He charted his progress on his
Facebook page, where he posted a
picture apparently of an entry/exit
card for foreigners issued by the
Syrian Interior Ministry. “I passed
through Syria in April. I walked some
500 km in 11 days. I went through
Aleppo and Damascus and passed
dozens of check-points held by pro-
government and opposition forces
alike, but I was never detained,” the
Bosnian added.
“At a check-point held by forces the
soldier ordered me to empty my
backpack ... When I showed them the
holy Quran and explained I was
making the pilgrimage on foot, they
let me go,” he said. On his Facebook
page he said God had shown him the
way in dreams, including to go
through Syria instead of Iraq. During
the pilgrimage, Hadzic faced
temperatures ranging from minus 35
Celsius in Bulgaria to plus 44 Celsius in
Jordan and he said God helped him in
this. — AFP

The spokesman said the pilot’s attempt to raise
the aircraft, failed.
