Lagos was in trouble throughout last week following serious flood across the metropolis.
Other states in the federation were not spared with many dead and properties destroyed.
Just why do we keep having floods?
· Heavy rains
The simplest explanation for flooding is heavy rains. No matter where you live, you are surrounded by infrastructure and systems designed to move rainwater into appropriate basins and reservoirs.
In most cases, the infrastructure does its job, and you never have to think about where the rain goes when it runs off. When it rains heavily, however, those systems are overwhelmed and that water doesn’t drain nearly as quickly as it needs to.
In short, the drainage systems back up and the water rises — sometimes into homes. This typically happens only in cases of sustained heavy rains over a long period.
· Overflowing rivers
You do not necessarily need to have heavy rains to experience flooding in your area. For example, if you live along a river and areas upstream from you experience heavy rains. It could lead to a serious overflow where you live. Most rivers include a series of dams to help manage large amounts of rainfall, and most river systems are managed by government authorities. Sometimes, however, those authorities have to make tough decisions about how to operate dams. They often can manage the water and prevent flooding altogether — but not always.
· Urban drainage basins
Many of our cities are made of mostly concrete and other impermeable material. When you have an urban drainage basin that is made of concrete, there is no ground for water to sink into. So, when those drainage basins fill up, it is going to mean flooding for low-lying areas.
· Poorly disposed wastes
Waste disposal is a huge challenge in Lagos and most Nigerian cities, making many channels to be blocked. When that happens, passage of water is impeded, leading to flooding.
Flooding often occurs when there is fast runoff into lakes, rivers and other reservoirs. This is often the case with rivers and other channels that feature steep sides. It is a similar issue to having a lack of vegetation which is explained in more detail below.
· Lack of vegetation
Vegetation can help slow runoff and prevent flooding. When there is a lack of vegetation, however, there is little to stop water from running off. This can be a bit of a conundrum after a drought.
While area residents likely welcome the rain, the lack of vegetation after the drought can cause flash flooding. This does not always happen given that basins and reservoirs are close to empty, but it can occur in cases of extreme rains following long periods of drought.
Lagos has been on a lock down lately owing to traffic congestion. Most often than not, it is due to drivers not knowing how to ride well. Being a safe driver can help speed up the flow of traffic but you can also take alternative transportation, such as buses or bikes.
You can even plan your route and trips strategically to reduce the time you are on the road, helping to relieve the burden on other drivers.
Here are five ways to avoid contributing traffic in Lagos and other mega cities in Nigeria.
* Maintain gap between cars: Every time you tap your brakes, the cars behind you will do the same. This can cause a ripple effect for miles down the road. Try to keep a gap between you and the car ahead of you. If another car slows down or tries to merge, you should have enough room to slow down without braking suddenly.
* Stay at a consistent speed: Try to stay at the speed limit, or go at the speed of traffic. If you need to slow down, take your foot off the gas and do not brake unless you need to. In many cases, if you keep a gap between cars, you may be able to slow down without braking. Cruise control can help you maintain a steady speed on the highway.
* Avoid changing lanes too often: The more you change lanes, the more other cars may have to slow down to accommodate you. While you may sometimes need to move over, try changing lanes only when necessary.
* Pay attention to the road conditions: Stay alert by scanning ahead as far as you can. Remain aware of what is happening around you. Watch for road hazards, accidents, bottlenecks, or other problems along the road.
Many highways have signs that will alert you of delays or traffic jams. You can either prepare to slow down or find an alternate route.
*Avoid taking your eyes off the road: Do not text, read the news, check your social media page, or take your eyes off of traffic, even if traffic has stopped dead. Always watch what is happening in front of you.
You never know when traffic will start moving again. If you are on the side of a busy highway, you should remain in your car. If you must exit, exit on the passenger’s side to avoid getting hit by a car.
Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, the First Lady of Nigeria and the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari is a cosmetologist, Beauty Therapist and Author.
Prior to acquiring her higher degrees, Mrs. Buhari pursued a career in Beauty and fashion. Since the start of the Buhari administration, Aisha Buhari has maintained a stately disposition, bringing back a certain modesty to the office of the First Lady.
Over the years, she runs a successful business as the founder of Hanzy Spa and Hanzy Beauty Institute, a beauty salon in Kaduna and Abuja.
She obtained a diploma in beauty therapy from the Carlton Institute of Beauty Therapy, Windsor, United Kingdom. Permanent Make-up, Mesotherapy and Micro-dermabrasion.
She holds a post-graduate diploma in cosmetology and beauty from Academy Esthetique Beauty Institute of France. She is a member of the United Kingdom Vocational Training and Charitable Trust and the International Health and Beauty Council.
A beauty therapist is someone who is professionally trained and specialises in beauty treatments of both the face and body. As well as making their clients look beautiful, they are also responsible for making them feel good about themselves.
She closed her beauty salon when her husband became President in 2015. She is married with 5 children and one grandchild.
She has since published a book “Essentials of Beauty Therapy: A Complete Guide for Beauty Specialists” which has been recommended as a text for the NBTE curriculum.
Aisha Buhari is a vocal advocate of women’s rights and children rights and this was a focal point during her campaign for her husband’s election in 2015. She has, on several occasions, emphasised the need for young girls to get Primary and Secondary school education before getting married, saying that she believes no girl should get married before the age of 17.
In May 2015, on the sidelines of the Global Women Conference held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Aisha stressed the need for Nigerian laws that will protect the women from forced early marriages, sex trafficking and other issues Nigerian girls and women contend with. She raised concerns on Child sexual abuse in Nigeria, sex trafficking and the need for Legislation against early marriage.
As tradition demands, President Muhammadu Buhari addressed the nation on its 59th Independence anniversary.
He outlined what he described as key achievements of his administration.
The second part of the 18th chapter of the President’s Independence Day Speech reads: “The exchange rate in the last 3 years has remained stable with robust reserves of US$42.5 billion, up from US$23 billion in October2016.”
Verification
CLAIM 1: The exchange rate in the last 3 years has remained stable…
PARTLY TRUE: The exchange rate has been between N305 to N306 on the Inter-bank Foreign Exchange Market (IFEM).
Information from CBN shows that foreign exchange rate in the last three years has remained reasonably stable:
1. In October 2016, the Foreign Exchange rate was N305.21
2. In October 2017, the Foreign Exchange Rate was N305.62
3. In October 2018, the Foreign Exchange rate was N306.50
4. As at July 2019, the foreign Exchange rate was N306.94
Additionally, we reviewed the Bureau De Change (black market) exchange rate.
It revealed that the exchange rate has been between N359 to N362, save October 2016 where the exchange rate was N462.03.
According to CBN, the Bureau De Change rate:
1. As at October 2016, BDC exchange rate was N462.03
2. As at October 2017, BDC exchange rate was N362.21
3. As at October 2018, BDC exchange rate was N360.74
4. As at March 2019, BDC exchange rate was N359.24
CLAIM 2: Nigeria has robust foreign reserves of US$42.5 billion, up from US$23 billion in October 2016.
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE: The Foreign reserve as of September is $42.12 billion and not $42.5 billion, although still close. However, no data could be found for October 2016.
For this, we referred to data from the CBN. It revealed as of September 25, 2019, the country had US $42.1 billion as gross reserves and US $41.5 billion as liquid reserves.
In a bid to ascertain verification, we back-tracked our search to 2014.
As at October 2014, Nigeria’s foreign reserves hit $36.3 billion. It subsequently fell to $32.4 billion in January 2015 and stood at $28.6 billion by May 2015. However no data could be seen for October 2016.
Words are powerful and can be used to build an amazing relationship or destroy one.
Here are 10 things you should avoid saying to your wife because women can be quite fragile and emotional.
“It’s up to you.”
Ladies generally don’t always like to hear this. If you are trying to come up with a plan or something, and your wife seeks your opinion regarding it, “It’s up to you” can be a very frustrating response and could even make her give attitudes for the rest of the day. Please engage in conversation with her to find a solution that works for both of you.
“I don’t remember saying that”
Sir? Why won’t you remember? It is important to know that women are confident in their memory. Be careful how you handle this conversation or it could quickly turn into a fight.
If you feel confident in your own memory, try something different like “the way I remember it is…” and approach it from a neutral perspective. Saying something like “I don’t remember saying that” can feel like an attack and put your wife on the defence.
“I don’t know.”
Your wife is asking what you’d like for dinner, and you saying I don’t know. Even as a daughter, it gets really annoying when I ask my dad “can I serve your food now” and he says “I don’t know” please what do you not know exactly?
When your wife turns to you for some insight or help and you reply with “I don’t know” and keep doing what you’re doing, you leave your wife feeling alone. Instead, jump in and make some suggestions. Just say something that will benefit you both please.
“Nothing”
The “silent treatment,” is very dangerous to any relationship at all. It creates disconnection and frustration. Instead, tell your wife you need a short time to “cool off,” and then intentionally go back to the conversation later.
“I’ll do it later”
Please, what happened to now? Or at least why not specify when exactly. We all know that later could be next year. If you do say it, be the person who does it within a reasonable time.
“What have you done all day?”
Personally, I feel like this is the height of it all. This is just a big no, no! Some women stay home to take care of the kids while the husband goes to work, or perhaps works from home. I beg you to please never come home and ask your wife what she’s been doing all day. Maybe the house isn’t perfect or dinner is a bit late, just don’t ask such. It can be really really annoying.
“Get out!”
Okay, is there a crisis situation?, I mean, is the house on fire? did a tree fall on the house or somewhere near? Please and please, if any of these is not the case then do not order your wife out. She didn’t sign up to be bullied. No matter what the issue is, give it time to cool off.
“You always….” or “You never…”
You don’t have to criticize her or at least find a better way of doing it. Instead of discussing all of your wife’s shortcomings, again, be constructive. Simply tell her how you feel and what you would like her to do differently. Yes, you can still do this while married.
“It’s your fault.”
Even if it is her fault, you should find a better way of making her realize it. Assigning blame only takes you further into disagreements. It is nonconstructive. Remember, you’re a team, and you can be part of the solution.
“You’re fat”
Such a blunt statement will never be seen as helpful but hurtful. Your wife knows it that she has put on weight and she might have already made plans to drop off a few pounds. She might be already under some pressure regarding her weight gain, and saying she is fat will only worsen matters for her. So, please be gentle.
The BBC Africa Eye sex-for-grades video is not the first time lecturers are being accused of soliciting sex to help female students.
The story is the same in virtually all citadels of learning – Universities, Polytechnics or Colleges of Education
It is an open secret that so many female students have become victims of sexual harassment.
It should be noted that in May 2016, the Senate considered a bill that would slam a five-year jail term on lecturers who exploit students sexually.
Obafemi Awolowo University
A recorded audio conversation between a senior lecturer in the department of Accounting at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Professor Richard Akindele and Monica Osetoba Osagie, a postgraduate student in Business Administration, went viral on social media.
Akindele was heard demanding to have sex with Monica five times before he would upgrade her score from 33% to a percentage of her choice.
It was also obvious that Monica was not the only student who was embroiled in the lecturer’s sex- for- marks web.
She repeatedly addressed the other person in the conversation as ‘Prof. Akindele’ who protested: ‘stop calling my name!’
At the Osun State University, Osogbo, a randy senior lecturer in the Department of Languages and Linguistics, Dr. Olabode Ajoniyi, was also caught on video having sex in a hotel room with one of his female students identified as Mercy Ikwue.
The case is still being investigated.
UNILAG
Dr Boniface Igbeneghu, University of Lagos
In the 52-minute, Dr Boniface Igbenuhue, a lecturer of the Faculty of Arts in UNILAG, the current sub-dean and the head pastor of Four Square Church, was heard in one of the discreetly recorded videos telling an undercover reporter who had disguised as a 17-year-old admission seeker to switch off the light so he could kiss her.
“Switch off that light, I’ll kiss you for a minute,” he said.
Boniface quizzed the undercover journalist about her age and sexual life, things that are totally out of the purview of an academic mentor.
“Everything that we discussed here be assured that your mother will not hear and anything that happens between me and you, nobody will hear about it,” Boniface told the young undercover journalist.
Ekiti State University
A lecturer at the Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado Ekiti, Dr. Olaleye Aduwo, was also alleged to have been involved in sex-for-grades scandal.
The lecturer, in a 29-second video that went viral, was accused of attempting to have sex with one of his students for mark.
During the process, the lecturer was tortured, harassed and dehumanized by people brought by the lady.
University of Abuja
A lecturer of the University of Abuja whose name was withheld was also indicted to have demanded for sex to award marks to one of his female students.
The alleged scandal was blown up after the lecturer, who is a dean, was caught in a hotel in Gwarimpa area of Abuja, where he had gone to have an affair with the student.
LASU
An Associate Professor of Economics in the Lagos State University (LASU) Dr. Sunkanmi Odubunmi, was allegedly caught sexually assaulting an unidentified female undergraduate of his department.
However, after prompt investigation by the school disciplinary committee, the affected staff involved in the scandal namely Dr Sunkanmi Odubunmi, Associate Professor, Department of Economics, Dr Ajani Ogunwande, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry were dismissed from the school.

The nation a player represents is often the subject of debate. Players with dual-nationality obviously have tricky decisions to make, often regarding which country they feel a closer allegiance to.
In some cases though, players use distant relatives or other such weaker arguments to play for a country which strengthens their chance of winning international honours, and it is these scenarios which are often frowned at.
Some players on this list had very justifiable reasons for playing for countries other than their native ones, while others are a little more questionable.
Here are the top 15 soccer players who didn’t play for their native country:
Zinedine Zidane
Zinedine Zidane
He is the youngest of five siblings and he is from Kabyle in Algerian. His parents, Smaïl and Malika, immigrated to Paris from the village of Aguemoune in the Berber-speaking region of Kabylie in northern Algeria in 1953 before the start of the Algerian War.
He is one of the most famous French football players of all time, widely regarded as a master of the fundamentals and techniques of the game.
He is known for his excellent control and dribbling skills, his magic ball touch, his focused vision and great leadership traits.
His excellence in football has bestowed him some coveted awards such as the FIFA World Player of the Year thrice, and the Ballon D’Or once.
During his active soccer years, no player would surpass the way he controlled and received the ball. He scored 31 goals, out of his 108 international outings.
Deco
Deco
The masterful midfield playmaker who won 75 caps for Portugal, proved to be a world class midfielder during his time with Porto, Barcelona and Chelsea.
He was ignored in Brazil, but Deco went to Portugal in 2003 making his debut against Brazil, in which he scored the winner.
Lilian Thuram
Lilian Thuram
France’s 1998 and 2018 World Cup winning squad featured a number of players born outside of mainland France. The former Monaco, Parma, Juventus and Barcelona defender Lilian Thuram is the first French international to feature on this list. He was born in Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe but made his international debut for France in 1994.
He went on to become a crucial player for the team, scoring twice in the 1998 World Cup semi-final. Thuram had 142 caps for France, making him their all-time most capped player.
Mauro Camoranesi
Mauro Camoranesi
Mauro Camoranesi was a wonderful player who could have represented either Argentina at international level. Born in Tandil, Argentina, Camoranesi was eligible to play for Italy through a great-grandfather named Luigi who emigrated to Argentina in 1873.
As such, his ties to Italy were far from immediate, yet when Italy showed an interest in him before Argentina, he chose to tie himself to the Azzurri. He went on to win 55 caps for Italy, winning the World Cup in 2006.
Clarence Seedorf
Clarence Seedorf
The Holland International who was the former Cameroon national team manager, is considered as one of the most successful player in UEFA Champions League History.
The former Ajax, Sampdoria, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan was regarded as one of the most gifted midfielders of his generation.
Seedorf won four Champions League trophies, as well as countless other titles, trophies and accolades. He made his Holland debut in 1994 and went on to win 87 caps for the country, twice being named Dutch Footballer of the Year
Patrick Vieira
Patrick Vieira
Another recurring theme of this list and the last of a collection of 1998 World Cup winners, a titan of the French national team, Patrick Vieira was born in Dakar, Senegal. Vieira moved to France at the age of eight, and his allegiance to the country was never really in doubt.
He made his France debut shortly after joining Arsenal in 1997. He went on to become a star of the French team as their midfield enforcer, winning the World Cup, European Championship’s and Confederation’s Cup as he picked up 107 caps.
Eusebio
Eusebio
The former Benfica Striker is regarded as Portugal’s greatest ever player with only Cristiano Ronaldo in recent times forming his first genuine competition.
Not just Portugal’s but one of the world’s greatest ever talents. During his professional career, he scored 733 goals in 745 matches (41 goals in 64 matches for Portugal) Eusebio won 11 Portuguese titles and one European Cup with Benfica.
Eusebio was born in Mozambique, but made his Portugal debut in 1961, going on to win 64 caps, scoring 41 goals and winning the Golden Boot at the 1966 World Cup.
Another international who was not born in Portugal is former Manchester United winger Nani. The talented but inconsistent wide man was born on the island of Cape Verde.
Nani made his Portugal debut in 2006 and has since won 88 caps for the country.
Gonzalo Higuain
Gonzalo Higuain
The former Real Madrid, Napoli, AC Milan, Chelsea and current Juventus striker was born in Brest, France, as his father – also a footballer – was playing in France at the time. Higuain holds a French passport and had to apply for Argentine nationality in 2007 in order to play for the national team. He was successful and to date has 75 caps and 31 goals for Argentina.
Pepe
Pepe
Kepler Laveran de Lima Ferreira known as Pepe has become one of the first names on the team sheet in the Portuguese national team, yet he was born in Maceio, Brazil.
Pepe moved to Portugal in 2001, aged 18. Dunga reportedly approached Pepe with regards to playing for Brazil in 2006, which Pepe declined, and he made his Portugal debut in 2007.
The Besiktas defender has over 100 caps for Portugal, and was sent off in their 4-0 defeat to Germany at the 2014 World Cup also part of the Russia 2018 Portuguese World Cup Team.
Lukas Podolski
Lukas Podolski
Former Bayern Munich and Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski was born in the Polish city of Gliwice.
Despite this, Podolski’s decision to represent Germany is rather understandable. Eligible to play for both nations, when Podolski first broke through at FC Koln, Polish media asked the country’s manager whether he was in line for a call-up. He replied by saying that his country had “much better players in Poland”.
A year later, Podolski accepted a call-up to the German squad. Today he has 126 caps and 48 goals for Germany, winning the 2014 World Cup and finishing second at Euro 2008.
Edgar Davids
Edgar Davids
The former Ajax, Juventus, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Edgar Davids is one of the best remembered players of the 1990s due to his distinctive dreadlocks and eye wear.
Davids was also a quality player, who was particularly noted for his combative style, short temper, energy and technique.
Born in Suriname, Davids played internationally for Holland, winning 74 caps.
Davids had no choice in the matter as the Surinamese FA do not allow those based outside of the country to represent them, and having joined Ajax at the age of 12, he was allowed to represent the Netherlands, a path a few others have taken, as you will see later in the list.
Eduardo
Eduardo
A Brazilian-born player who doesn’t represent his native country, former Arsenal striker Eduardo was born in the Brazilian capital of Rio, but plays his international football for Croatia.
He moved to Croatia at the age of 16 when he joined Dinamo Zagreb in 1999. Eduardo made his debut Croatia under-21s in 2004, with his chances of international football with Brazil looking unlikely.
He made his full debut a year later, and won 64 caps for Croatia, scoring 29 goals before retiring in 2014 following the World Cup.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Former Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Middlesbrough striker Floyd Hasselbaink who was born in Suriname. Hasselbaink moved to the Netherlands at the age of 12 and signed his first professional contract with Telstar as a teenager.
Hasselbaink later played in Portugal, England and Spain, winning 23 caps for Holland and scoring 9 goals.
Hasselbaink is now one of the brightest prospects in English football management as the head coach at Burton Albion, where he is doing an excellent job.
John Barnes
John Barnes
Liverpool legend John Barnes is considered the greatest Jamaican footballer of all time, yet he never played for the Reggae Boyz at international level. Kingston-born Barnes chose instead to represent his adopted nation of England, the country in which he moved to at the age of 12.
Barnes won 79 caps for England, scoring 11 goals and being a part of England’s fourth-placed World Cup team at Italia ’90. He did go on to become part of the Jamaica set-up, managing the country in 2008 and 2009.
Fela and the Afrika ’70 released the album Zombie, a scathing attack on soldiers using the zombie metaphor to describe the methods of the Nigerian military.
The album was a smash hit and infuriated the government, setting off a vicious attack against the Kalakuta Republic, during which one thousand soldiers attacked the commune.
The Kalakuta Republic was burned, and Fela’s studio, instruments, and master tapes were destroyed. Fela claimed that he would have been killed had it not been for the intervention of a commanding officer as he was being beaten. Fela’s response to the attack was to deliver his mother’s coffin to the Dodan Barracks in Lagos, General Olusegun Obasanjo’s residence, and to write two songs, “Coffin for Head of State” and “Unknown Soldier”, referencing the official inquiry that claimed the commune had been destroyed by an unknown soldier.
In 1984, Muhammadu Buhari’s government, of which Kuti was a vocal opponent, jailed him on a charge of currency smuggling which Amnesty International and others denounced as politically motivated
Baba 70 still remain in the heart of many Nigerians till today.
2. Charly Boy
His most popular album was 1990 – the title was a reference to Nigeria’s corrupt military government which was expected to hand over power to civilians in that year, although civilian rule did not start until 1999).
1990 earned Charly Boy mixed reviews due to its political nature and caused national controversy, and a number of radio stations refused to play the title track.
Despite this, 1990 was one of Nigeria’s best-selling albums of 1988, and Charly Boy was credited with using his music to stand up to his government, a lá Fela Kuti.
Charly Boy is known as an advocate of the masses as he has fought for the rights of the average Nigerian. He has on several occasions been tortured by the Nigerian police and the military for standing up to his country’s government. However he is also, on occasion, regarded as their friend, depending on the sensibility of those in power.
3. Idris Abdul-Karim (Mr Jaga Jaga )
In 2004 Abdulkareem released his third album Jaga Jaga, a Yoruba term for a shambles, declaiming corruption and suffering in Nigeria. The title track was banned from radio by President Olusegun Obasanjo, but continued to be played in nightclubs.[4] The album cover was by artist Lemi Ghariokwu, known for creating many album covers for Fela Kuti.
In November 2005, Abdulkareem launched his own record label, La Kreem Music and released his fourth album, Letter to Mr. President. The album’s title track addressed Obasanjo’s criticisms of “Jaga Jaga”; the album also featured “Flash Up Unu Lighter”, a tribute to Obasanjo’s wife, Stella, who died while undergoing surgery in Spain, and the victims of the Bellview Airlines crash of October 2005.
He released a sequel to “Jaga Jaga” in January 2012 during the Occupy Nigeria protest against lifting of fuel subsidies.
4. Tuface Idibia
popularly known by his stage name 2Baba, is a Nigerian singer,songwriter, record producer and entrepreneur. We all know 2Face Idibia has always been very vocal about the state of the affairs of the country. It would be recalled that back in 2017, the music star announced a planned nationwide protest which actually didn’t get to see the bright of the day.
According to him: “I will no longer be quiet. My partners, colleagues and I have come together to create a platform for Nigerians to communicate their real pains to government at all levels in a peaceful and articulate manner with a view to getting lasting solutions to our problems. This march is about demanding that our leaders connect with all the people in Nigeria.”
He dissed Nigerian government in his music like “ for instance “….
Burna Boy, Ruggedman and Davido declared support for the legendary musician’s cause of leading a nationwide protest against the Nigerian government.
9ice went weird, e no even look uche face as he blasts the hell out of the “Change” led APC Government and those who led our dear country astray in the past for their own selfish interests.
9ice came out fearless, he voiced out for the common Nigerians at this time when many entertainers are quiet for God knows why.
