I just smuggled my way out of the hell-hole that is Ifo/Ado Odo-Ota axis of Ogun State now. It's a complete mess. Clearly, the Police are overwhelmed. From Ijaiye through Toll-gate, Dalemo, Sango, Ijoko/Ogba-Ayo, Gasline, Ota, Agbado Crossing, Joju, Oniyale, Iyana-Ilogbo, all the way to Ifo, tension is high among folks in those communities as we speak. The bad boys are ransacking homes in broad daylight, carting away money and foodstuff. Three separate individuals in Ijoko told me they came last night, carting away money and anything edible they could lay their hands on. Hungry lots. . The somewhat heartwarming part is that community have largely stood against them in the last five days, observing vigils amid bonfires. Yet, sadly, at least two people have died in one community in Ijoko, their heroic moves unsung, their gallantry buried in the midst of the chaos. As scary as the tweets being directed at the do-nothing OGSG on Twitter via the #OgunUnrest hashtag are, they are for me a tip of the iceberg of what obtains in that axis of the state NOW. A two-day peregination of these areas have shown me far worse developments. . I spoke to a man in Joju who narrated how they invaded their homes around noon Thursday. Some hungry boys with tiny necks, they came wielding POS machine, baying for blood and money and Semovita. So pervasive have the boys become that Police now reject SOS messages, multiple residents confirmed this to me. I did try the emergency numbers, too, earlier today. No luck. Overwhelmed. . The sociological makeup of this part of the stae shows that it's traditionally the hideout of retired criminals and promising urchins, many of whom Lagos flushed out of its ghettos back in the day. Again, in these communities, at least 60 percent residents are wallowing in abject poverty. I spoke to an aged woman, a pepper seller, who had almost her entire capital swept off by the rampaging boys Wednesday. She spoke to me in ways that suggest that her poverty has found a new nomenclature, defying simple social categorisation. I realise yet again that in this clime, it is expensive to be poor. Pathetic. . What's heartbreaking is that in the quest for survival, folks have become very desperate. You stand a very high chance of being lynched if you preach "social distancing" in that axis as I type this. Yesterday, I watched as young men gathered to form a shield around Iyana-Ilogbo, whispering gibberish into one another's ears. It's a pathetic sight. The situation was same in Plaza, where, in the absence of the state, young men mingle freely to devise their own means of ambushing the rascals. But do you blame them for having no regard for a virus they can't "see"-----in the face of devising pushback mechanism against a death-inducing threat they can see and literally feel? . When this covid19 phase is finally over, there will be too many heroes for us to recognise. But, sadly, the genuine heroes would go unrecognised, their commendable efforts buried in obscurity. Many of these unsung heroes are in Ifo, Agbado and Ijako areas as I speak now, young boys observing sleepless nights amid fear and piercing sounds of bullets, pushing back against criminality with their bare hands and unusual courage. . May they all live to witness the birth of a new dawn. (Oladeinde Olawoyin of Times). NB: I am not the writer. I am just a concerned Husband and Father. |

Fellow Nairalanders and Nigerians. I greet you all most especially during this Covid-19 pandemic season. I will want us to discuss who "the poor of the poor and vulnerable people" are in today's Nigeria that is combating Covid-19 pandemic. Are they those on the so-called social alone? Does the poor of the poor include Nigerians that they and their families depend on daily income for survival? Nigerians like Carpenters, Vulcanizers, Petty traders and traders, Mecahnics, Drivers, Conductors, Marketers, etc. You can also add to the list. These are Nigerians that due this present lockdown in some states, the have been rendered and ed the league of the so-called "poor-of-the-poor". Does the vulnerable according to the government also include those mentioned earlier? That due to the fact that there are no means of survival will become hypertensive and fall sick that is not even due to Coronavirus infection. Does the vulnerable include those due to no daily income to cater for daily family needs will lead to increase domestic misunderstanding and violence at home. Does the vulnerable include those that are now more prone to robbery attacks due to this Lockdown? Only if we keep on deceiving ourselves are we going to be oblivious to the fact that their is massive hunger in areas were their is complete lockdown. Only if we keep on deceiving ourselves are going to say that the Government so-called palliatives are getting to real poor of the poor and vulnerable in these lockdown States. I believe the government should look beyound the so-called social and man-up to their duties and responsibilities rather than what we are experiencing presently. My thoughts, feel free to express yours. Let's discuss what we feel can be done wholesomely and objectively. NB: there is every possibility that the lockdown will be extended. |

I am even looking beyound the social because of the unusual situation we are in presently. There are vulcanizers, Carpenters, petty traders, mecahnics, drivers, conductors, etc who survive by their daily earnings. How are are they going to survive during this time when only what the government is concerned about is the so-called poor of the poor. The government isn't showing consciousness to the fact that the daily survival earners have also become the poor of the poor during this lockdown.

The Senior Special Adviser to The President on Social Investment Programme (SIP), Ismaeel Ahm ed was invited on an NTA programme this morning to shed more light on the actions of the presidency towards the welfare of Nigerians during this Covid-19 pandemic. A viewer asked about payment into the of Nigerians via BVN to help in cushioning the hardships that would be felt by Nigerians during this period. The SSA replied that the President only mentioned payment to Nigerians on the Social and Tradermoni. This now leaves me to question that "What happens to Nigerians In the lockdown states whose existence and family depends on daily means of survival and are not on this so-called Social ?" What do you Nairalanders think? Let's discuss wholesomely and objectively. NB: The signs showing really indicates that the lockdown will be extended. |

This is highly welcoming with an air of relief that can be felt by some, and apprehension by some sets of people. I just hope the high expectations will be duly delivered and not cut short.

eyeview: There are specialists in the field of Agriculture that will be best suited for the post due to advanced and in-depth knowledge of the field and know what it obtains to be more effective than one that might have only had his first degree in agriculture and specialized in geography. First degree is usually a stepping stone while your advanced focus of speciality is what really shapens the niche and experience obtainable... My take |

I am actually baffled why lecturer with speciality in geography be nominated for the post of a commissioner for agriculture. That's my take.

Telkart19: Cattle rustling is done more by the fulanis themselves and not farmers. What happens to other food animals? Are they not also meant to be included in the animal census? Why only cattle? If the FG really wants to mediate in the clashes, they know what to do without being biased to just a particular tribe. This is the age of sophisticated modernization. 2 Likes |
