Lagos State Government to relocate traders at Computer Village, Ikeja

The Lagos State Government has revealed that, efforts are ongoing to relocate traders in Computer Village, Ikeja to Katangwa in Agbado/Oke-Odo and then convert the area into a world-class ICT Park.

This was disclosed by the State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Wasiu Anifowose, at the 2017 Ministerial Press briefing in Alausa Tuesday as part of activities marking the second year anniversary of Governor Ambode’s administration.

The relocation will, according to the government, curb environmental degradation, housing stock deficit and traffic congestion in the Ikeja axis.

Why Detroit has the largest satanist temple chapter in the US

The "largest public satanic ceremony in history" took place last Saturday in Detroit, a city that has the largest and oldest chapter of a national Satanist organization. The group unveiled a nearly 9-foot tall bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet in a private ceremony attended by 600 ticket holders, Lucien Graves, co-founder of the national Satanic Temple organization in Boston. The Satanic Temple in Detroit has more than 200 registered members. "They are so active and well-organized," Graves said. "There's probably been another wave of interest since this event." The Detroit chapter is the first of the national organization, Graves said. He credits the Detroit chapter's founder Jex Blackmore with the growth of the chapter since it was established there in August 2014. "It's more or less because of her. She was just a very confident person who started working with us," Graves said further. The pair...

Inside her desert oasis! Lady Gaga enjoys freebie stay at $12 million mansion while headlining Coachella

She was the headliner for both weekends of Coachella this year. And while in the desert for the annual musical festival, Lady Gaga stayed at a $12 million Mediterranean mansion, courtesy of Airbnb. The 31-year-old made herself at home in the sprawling 9,500 square foot home, with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. The normally $10,000-a night Airbnb listing is located in Rancho Mirage, which is just a 25 minute drive from the festival in Indio, California. Lady Gaga replaced Beyonce as the headliner for Coachella; Beyonce pulled out of the festival shortly after announcing that she's pregnant with twins. On Monday, the artist thanked Airbnb for the home as she posed next to a large fireplace in a pink hoodie; she wrote: 'Thank you @airbnb for my desert home. A wonderful gift!' While prepping for her Coachella gig, the Grammy award winning songstress rested at the mega estate, which has 360 degree mountain views and a resort style pool. The kitchen had st...

Dangote Blames Taxes, Levies For Nigeria's Expensive Cement As Export Prices Undercut Local Market

Reporter like asked: why is Dangote Cement made in Nigeria but sold outside Nigeria cheaper than your cement sold in Nigeria? Dangote: “When you look at my invoice, the cement I export is cheaper than the one I’m selling domestically, because that’s how exports work...In export I’m saving a lot of money. I’m not paying 30% income tax, I’m not paying 2% education, I’m not paying 1% health, I’m not paying 7.5% VAT, and I’m not paying 10% withholding tax.” And he omitted bank fees. Practically, there is no way any human can avoid being charged fees by Nigerian banks. I understand most of those fees are statutory, which means banks have no other option. But when a big dude like Aliko looks at his bank account, he can see another 0.5% of mindless fees here and there on deductions. Fellow Citizens: do you know that banks charge you about 0.5% for transferring your money from your USD dorm account to any part of the world? You may not notice until you behave like an accounting stu...
