Lagos Gov't trashes 'Gangs of Lagos' movie

The Lagos Government has berated the promoters and marketers of the movie "Gangs of Lagos" describing it as mocking Lagos' cultural heritage.

Why not watch the video here.

The Lagos Government in a statement released on their site says that the movie "Gangs of Lagos" has portrayed a misrepresentation of the Lagos culture and also displays the culture of Lagos State in a derogatory manner.

The statement reads;

"A release signed by the Commissioner for Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Pharm. (Mrs.) Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf said the Ministry, being the regulatory body and custodian of the culture of Lagos State, views the film/series as a mockery of the Heritage of Lagos.

"The Commissioner expressed her disappointment with the promoters of the film, Jade Osiberu, and Kemi Akindoju, for portraying the Eyo Masquerade as a gun-wielding villain while adorning the full traditional regalia."

"We are of the opinion that the production of the film 'The Gang of Lagos' is very unprofessional and misleading while its content is derogatory of our culture, with the intention to desecrate the revered heritage of the people of Lagos. It is an unjust profiling of a people and culture as being barbaric and nefarious. It depicts a gang of murderers rampaging across the State".

Full Text Of Prostrate Health.

I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above, father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbour, colleague. Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think ...

IPOB Replies Gov Mbah On Plans To End Monday Sit-At-Home In Enugu The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has urged the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu if it is serious about ending the insecurity to end in the South-East. In a statement on Friday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB knocked the Nigerian Army for linking it to the incessant sit-at-home orders and enforcement in the region. The pro-Biafra group dissociated itself from the violent enforcement of sit-at-home exercise across the South-East. It warned the army chief against unleashing terror on the South-East people in the guise of going after sit-at-home enforcers. They advised the Bola Tinubu administration not to toe the same line of the past government. IPOB said, "The Army Chief, Taoreed Lagbaja, will not claim ignorance of all the previous press releases written by IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu disassociating ourselves from Simon Ekpa and his criminal sit-at-home enforcer...

Tobi Amusan has apologized to Nigerians after losing her women's 100m Hurdles world title at the World Championships in Budapest. Amusan finished sixth in 12.62s as Jamaica's Danielle Williams regained her title from 2015 in a Season's Best (SB) of 12.43s, Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn settled for silver in 12.44s, and USA's Keni Harrison won bronze in 12.46s.

Cassava Stick To Chase Away Wall Geckos In Your Rooms.

Wall gecko. This little creature called wall gecko is one of the most powerful animals used by spiritual forces to perpetrate their nefarious act against human beings in the spiritual realm. Don't forget that spiritual controls the physical. Before anything manifests in the physical, it would have first been perfected in the  spiritual realm.  When forces want to come to where you're living and have personal contact with someone, they use wall gecko. It is simply for monitoring and to deposit some spiritual problem in the life of the host.  Anytime you see wall gecko in your room, or any part of the house, just know that, a particular force is already operating in your house and by extension, your life. At times, they will be hiding and you won't notice and they would be carrying out their assignment silently. The silent one is the most deadliest. With this, things would stop operating the way it should. Many things would start going wrong. Whatever it would take you, onc...
