IGBOGBO, AN ANCIENT COMMUNITY OF OVER 500 YEARS IN EXISTENCE. WHOM DID WE OFFEND? Written By Shakiru Seidu.

Growth is organic and could metamorphous to a going concern concept as postulated by the accounting body. When growth is adequately orchestrated by the progressives, technocrats and the people of like minds whose passion is development and provision of safe haven for all and sundry, nothing in this life can stop the people from progressing However, where there is laxity, conspiracy of silence and complacency in community building, growth is bound to be thwarted and the people will become the slave of their inadequacies. The ancient town of Igbogbo community is crying for rapid growth and development. Since three years ago, no doubt about it that the emergence of the current King of Igbogbo land, His Royal Majesty, Oba (Barr) AbdulSemiu Orimadegun Kasali Emugoriade 1, the Adeboruwa of Igbogbo land, birthed the undiluted fresh air of great transformation that everyone can testify to.  As an erudite lawyer and a remarkable intellect, the king has overtime, in alliance with Hig

CHAIRMAN AGORO PALLIES HEAVEN'S FORECOURT, OPENS PRIVATE CEMETERY IN IMOTA, URGES PEOPLE OF LAGOS EAST SENATORIAL TO BURY THEIR LOVE ONES AT HFC. It's solemn, neat and very affordable, HFC Management reveals.

All roads were led to Imota on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, when Heaven's Forecourt, HFC, a beautiful, solemn and neat place with lot of spaces and no congestion had its grand opening.

DAINI APPLAUDS BUHARI, SAYS RENOVATION OF PRISONS TO BECOME CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, A DEPLETE TO SECURITY CHALLENGES IN NIGERIA.

As the Nigerian Correctional Service Bill was signed into Law by President Muhammadu Buhari, repealing the Nigerian Prisons Service Acts of 1972, the walls around the convicts shall be called correctional facilities, not prisons anymore. Nice as it sounds, it took 11 years for the bill to scale through to become law, a primary indication of the reflections of a system that sees those behind the walls as the only prisoners in our society. But that apart, it’s good news that one of the biggest crime-breeding plants in our system has been demolished. But this also depends largely on whether the law exists on paper alone or its provisions will be attended to by the concerned departments. In as much as the law is expected to put in place a framework for the rehabilitation and transformation of inmates and address inadequate funding for the prisons, full implementation of its provisions will help the society overcome crime recycles in the society through the outdated prisons system.
