The exit road from Lamgbasa at Ajah roundabout has become a nightmare for commuters living in the Ajah and beyond axis of the Lekki Peninsula area of Lagos state.

The portion seems abandoned as motorists avoid it by all means (as seen in the picture below), opting for the inner roundabout instead.

This development is a part of the cause of the heavy traffic that sprawls from Ikota second gate, all the way to Ajah and beyond in the evenings.

Adamawa Vigilante Group Kills 70 Boko Haram Members!


Members of a vigilante group in Madagali, a town in Adamawa State, On Friday killed more than 70 Boko Haram members and handed over seven captured militants to the police.
The militant overpowered the members of the terrorist group after a tip-off by a local food vendor that the militants were coming to get food before heading out for a major operation.
A source in the village told reporters that the Boko Haram members had planned to raid villages in the area at night, but the vigilante group, laid ambush and waited patiently for the militants.
As soon as the Islamist insurgents numbering more than 100 showed up in the village to pick up their favourite meals, the vigilantes attacked them, killing most of them in a hail of bullets,” the source added.
Friday’s attack is the second time in one week that members of local vigilante groups would defeat the sect members.
Two days ago well-armed vigilantes in Kalabalge, Borno State, ambushed a squad of Boko Haram militants.
Several security consultants had stressed the need for such vigilante groups to be empowered to tackle the members of the Boko Haram sect to end the increasing attacks in the north east.

It’s touched so many lives, I want to continue it there, and even if that’s the only thing I get to do. I started the show back at Cool FM and did it for free.

Twin explosions hit Kenya!



Two blasts hit Kenya's capital on Friday, killing 10 people and injuring 70 more in the latest in a string of increasingly frequent terror attacks.
The blasts came the same week the United States and the U.K. issued renewed warnings about possible terror attacks in Kenya, leading to a bristling response from the country's President Friday, who said such warnings strengthen the will of terrorists.
Nairobi Police Benson Kibue, who announced the casualty figures, said two improvised explosive devices detonated in a market area near downtown Nairobi. One blast hit a mini-van used for public transportation.
Before the blasts, the United States embassy sent out a new travel alert Friday to American citizens warning of a continued terrorist threat in a country where the U.S. Embassy suffered a devastating attack in 1998.
An earlier U.S. warning this week  reportedly said for the first time that the embassy itself is taking new steps to increase security "due to recent threat information regarding the international community in Kenya."
It was gathered that Britain's government also warned its citizens this week to avoid the coastal city of Mombasa and beach towns nearby, prompting a travel company to cut short the vacations of hundreds of British citizens and fly them home.
Security concerns have long been high in Kenya because of its proximity to Somalia and the al-Qaida-linked terrorist group that operates there. In September, four al-Shabab gunmen attacked an upscale mall in Nairobi, killing at least 67 people. The 1998 embassy bombing killed more than 200.
Armed Marines now patrol the U.S. Embassy grounds in Nairobi in bullet proof vests and helmets. Increasingly frequent emergency drills tell embassy staff: "Duck and cover, duck and cover."
"We know from experience whether it's been in Yemen where embassies have been attacked or in Benghazi where our consulate and ambassador was attacked, anything that is a symbol of a foreign country is a potential target," said Scott Gration, the immediate past U.S. ambassador in Kenya.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, who began a previously planned news conference only minutes after the Nairobi blasts, offered his condolences but dismissed the U.S. and U.K. travel warnings, saying that terrorism is a common problem, including in New York and Boston.
Kenyatta said he was aware of Britain's warning and the decision to evacuate tourists.
"I don't want to refer to anybody in particular. Acts like were done yesterday, by the people you just mentioned, only strengthens the will of terrorists as opposed to helping us defeat that war," Kenyatta said.

The similarity of terrorist attacks in Nigeria and Kenya can not be over emphasized, (public bus attacks, markets, bus -stops) considering the fact that these two are emerging African economies in the global terrain.- Roving Informant.
