The commercial motorcyclist, who resides in Lagos state, said he is yet to come to terms with the reality of his wife’s confession.   Yaqub Ganiyu A father of four,  Yaqub Ganiyu, has narrated how he reacted after his wife of 17 years revealed that he is not the biological father of their 14-year-old daughter. In an interview with Vanguard, Yaqub, a commercial motorcyclist, who resides in Lagos state, said he is yet to come to terms with the reality of his wife’s confession. According to him, he fainted twice out of shock when his wife broke the news. Speaking in his one-room apartment on Matomi Street, Alagbado, a border town between Lagos and Ogun states,  the father of four said his wife informed him that a neighbor who has relocated to Germany is the father of their daughter. “I met Muridia  17 years ago when she was an apprentice.  I assisted her financially until she mastered the skill. Thereafter, we started dating and living together. I brought her to Lagos, from Otu Village, Oyo State, to set up a business for her.   We are blessed with four children, a daughter and three sons – aged  14, 8 and 4 years and three months respectively. Initially, things went smoothly in the family while I was working as a truck operator.  At a point, I lost that job. I started riding a motorcycle in order to put food on the table. Recently, I  noticed that my wife started behaving strangely.  I kept calm to allow peace reign until she brought a Tecno-5 Phone home.  When I asked where she got it from, she gave a flimsy reason.  I also noticed she had been communicating with a man whose identity I did not know. I had to seize the phone. About a month ago, she woke me up at midnight and told me that I was not the biological father of our 14-year-old daughter.  She said her former boyfriend who lives in Germany is the biological father of the child. You won’t believe that this same man and I were once neighbors before he travelled abroad. I fainted out of shock and disbelief, twice. It was neighbours that resuscitated me. What baffled me was that the man she claimed to be the biological father is a relative and an old friend of mine. His father has two wives, one of them is my aunt. I later got to know that things were not going smoothly with him. When they enquired to know the cause spiritually, it was revealed that he had a child somewhere and that until he accepts the paternity of the child, there won’t be any solution to his issue. Initially, I thought my wife was out of her senses. I  contacted her family members to pray for her so that she could get well but I didn’t know she had other plans. Two weeks ago, she reported the matter with So-Safe Corps at Abule-Iroko, Ogun State. I was arrested and detained by the Corps. Its officials ordered me to pick up my belongings and leave our one-room apartment. ’It did not end there, they ordered me to return the phone  I seized to her and pay  N5,000 weekly, for the family upkeep. I have been homeless since then. The attention of both families have been drawn to the matter but from all indications, Muridia’s family members are in support of her action. I have an aged mother and an elder brother who are not medically fit to intervene. The man my wife claimed is the father of my daughter said I should stay far away from her or face the consequences, boasting that he has the financial muscle to deal with me. I used to have three motorcycles but sold them to enable me to fend for my family. The one I am currently using was bought on hire purchase.”    When interviewed, Muridia said she was indeed pregnant for another man when she met Yaqub. “When I discovered I was six weeks pregnant, I told Teslim about it but he sent me away and asked me to terminate it. Luckily for me, Yaqub walked into my life and slept with me. A few weeks later, I told him I was pregnant for him, he accepted paternity and we pulled resources together to rent an apartment. Teslim and I were in the village while Yaqub was visiting from Lagos.    I am a hairdresser but our stay together had been hellish as Yaqub has no tangible source of income to fend for the family. Several attempts to walk away from the marriage were unsuccessful as he tactically tied me down with pregnancy. This is the fourth rented apartment I have paid for but he always disrupts my chances of staying alone. One day, I got a call from Teslim’s friend, who requested to know what happened to the pregnancy of 15 years ago,  I did not give him any response. I was in church one day when Teslim’s relative sent a Tecno-5 phone to me because mine was faulty. Teslim called me to say he was in Germany but that settling down maritally had been difficult. He told me that upon divination, he was told to go and claim the paternity of the baby he abandoned in order to have a settled life. Two weeks ago, Yaqub and I had a quarrel in my shop. Neighbours intervened by contacting the So Safe Corps which effected his arrest. My uncle and other members of my family are aware of this matter. There are moves to conduct a DNA test to ascertain the biological father of my daughter, Zainab” she said

The 39-year-old actress said, “At some time in my life my manager had to get me a counsellor because I was depressed but lived in denial. I was not happy and very scared of life. “It was that bad that I thought of swimming or jumping from the third mainland bridge and hoping someone will save me. “I confided in people and they used it against me, I had fear of the unknown, my thought filled with negative things. “It was hard for me to trust people then because the people I had around me didn’t know how to keep things secret. “I am from a Christian home but had to avoid them because I started smoking cigarettes. “I detached myself from my family because I thought I was going to die soon and didn’t want them to miss me.” She, however, took responsibility for her life after she got a new manager and a counsellor and has since continued to soar higher in her life and career. “I had to change everybody around me, had a different mentality to rediscover myself. “When you’re depressed you don’t know what you’re capable of doing, Immediately I overcame all of that, I redesigned my life to be my best version. “I got over my fears with the help of my manager and counsellor. You have to go through fire to have the finest things,” the actress concluded.

Lagos Commercial Bus Operators To Pay N292,000 Annually Fee To State Government

TonyGists App 3 Out Now. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TonyGists.TonyGistsapp The new levy by government is aside tickets issued by the National Union of Road Transport Workers across the state.     A new transport levy has been introduced by the Lagos State government.   According to Sahara Reporters, commercial bus operators in Lagos will now pay N292,000 annual fee to the state government under a new Consolidated Informal Sector Transport Levy.   The new levy by government is aside tickets issued by the National Union of Road Transport Workers across the state.   The move is designed to harmonise dues collected by government from commercial motorists at parks and garages.   Commissioner for Finance in the state, Dr Rabiu Olowo, asserted that the levy pegged at a flat rate of N800, covered monies for local government, clearing of waste from the motor parks, which was being paid to the Lagos State Waste Management Agency, and pollution, dues which were collected by Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, among others.   "Personal income taxes of the drivers will also be deducted from the N800 levy which commences with immediate effect," Olowo said.   According to the report, each commercial bus driver was expected to pay N800 daily, which accumulates into N24,000 monthly and N292,000 in a year with this harmonised levy.   Confirming the development, Chairman of Lagos State Chapter of NURTW, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as ‘MC Oluomo,’  who noted that the union in collaboration with the Road Transport Workers Union had approached the state government to consolidate the fees collected by different LGAs and agencies to make collection easier for government.   MC Oluomo explained that the new development affects only government levies but has nothing to do with the union dues charged.   However, Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Transportation, Mr Toyin Fayinka, said that the development was the phase one approach towards total restructuring of the transport sector; saying it is expected to bring sanity to motor parks in line with best practices globally.   He explained that money collected as levies before now were lost to unknown agents.    Stressing that research had shown that an average commercial bus paid at least N3,000 as due per day while some buses paid as high as N8,000 to N9,000.   "The new development is a form of revenue assurance, that would have a strong implication on reduction of levies paid by bus drivers at different points/parks before now.   "It will drastically reduce the suffering of the people as it is expected to reduce the cost of road transportation," he added.

He recently declared interest to contest in the 2023 presidential election.   Ojudu stressed that his decision not to support Tinubu was based on personal conviction, adding that any coercion to do otherwise would not be democratic.   In a statement on Tuesday, Ojudu, who works in the Office of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), said his refusal to support the presidential aspiration of the former Lagos State governor should not portray him as a betrayer.   According to the statement titled, ‘Principled Political Choices are not Betrayal’, the presidential aide said though he had benefited from Tinubu’s kindness in the past, he was not made by the APC leader.   Ojudu wrote, “The idea that everyone who has related with Tinubu and disagrees with him on this Presidential bid is a traitor and a betrayal is puerile. Many of us, his associates, were not made by him as you also want the world to believe.   “We were already made before meeting him and in the cause of relating we gave one another a helping hand… So, on this matter of 2023 I wish him (Tinubu) well but I cannot in good conscience give him my support or cast my vote for him in the coming primary. It is my right. I am above 60 years of age for God sake. I almost died seeking this inalienable democratic rights, held up in detention and severally tortured. Your god is not my god.   “Let no one think he can browbeat or blackmail me to do what does not go with my conscience or my ideals. Enough of your phone threats and embarrassment of my family members.”   “For the irritants who have been sending threat messages to me and members of my family or calling to abuse me for not supporting Tinubu, do know that is not democracy. It is something else. I spent my youth years fighting autocracy and intolerance of the military and I am still willing and ready, even now, to stand up for what I believe, even if it will cost me my life. Enough said,” he added.

It's not as if she can beat me if I decided to fight back, I don't want to raise my hand on a woman, it's a curse and I don't want to do that, this is getting out of hand and I am not living comfortable at home again, we sleep on different bed, she doesn't allow me touch her again.

I told my sister about her behavior, the advice she gave me is that I should beat the hell out of her whenever she raises her hand to beat me. I have pleaded with my wife to let us continue the way we have been doing before but she wouldn't listen to me. I am really confused and I don't know what to do right now..

This is as the agency added that the CMPV2 outbreaks were caused by immunity gaps in children.   File photo According to a report by The PUNCH, the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency on Thursday announced that Nigeria has officially reported 395 cases of the Circulating Mutant Poliovirus Type 2 across 27 states and the Federal Capital Territory. This is as the agency added that the CMPV2 outbreaks were caused by immunity gaps in children. The PUNCH reports that in August 2020, Nigeria was certified Wild poliovirus free by the World Health Organization and allies following the fact that the country reported its last case of the Wild poliovirus in 2016. The NPHCDA in a statement signed by its executive director, Faisal Shuaib further explained that the suspension of immunization programmes due to the COVID-19 pandemic has further created new immunity gaps which have led to new outbreaks. The statement partly reads, “We currently have 395 cases of Circulating Mutant Poliovirus Type 2 (across 27 states and the FCT. “Nigeria and the African region were certified Wild Polio Virus (WPV) free in 2020, following a rigorous verification and certification process by the African Regional Commission for the Certification of Poliomyelitis Eradication which spanned three years of no detection of WPV. To date, there has been no case of WPV anywhere in the country. “cMPV2 outbreaks are caused by immunity gaps in children due to several reasons, including low routine immunization coverage, and missing children during immunization campaigns. The suspension of several polio campaigns and other health programmes in 2020, as well as disruptions to routine immunization because of the COVID-19 pandemic, created further immunity gaps which led to new and wider outbreaks and further increased transmission of the circulating mutant poliovirus both globally and within Nigeria. “The viruses thrive in areas with poor sanitation, open defecation, and inadequate access to clean drinking water. These have allowed the virus to be easily transmitted from one person to another through contaminated water and poor sewage disposal. Malnutrition occasioned by increasing poverty is also a predisposing factor in exposed children. These non-wild polioviruses which originated because of normal changes in the reproduction of viruses in the environment are not as virulent as WPV and are also being reported in many other countries. The agency added that it is currently, “Working with our Donors and Development Partners, Nigeria has already acquired new tools and resources to ensure the outbreaks are contained through very robust outbreak responses using the novel Oral Polio Vaccine which has been shown to be effective in halting the spread of the cMPV2. All 36 States and FCT have completed at least one nOPV2 Outbreak Response. “Several other rounds of the OBR, as well as other campaigns to improve the mucosal immunity of children aged 0-5 years old using Injectable Polio Vaccine, have also been planned for this year. Efforts are also being ramped up to increase routine immunization coverage beyond pre-COVID values.
