  1. Lagos Local Government Elections

As at press time, APC had won in 14 Local Governments.

  1. Mainland Floods

The other week it was sorry tales of flooding homes and roads from our friends in Lekki and other parts of the Island. This week, it was the turn of our folks on the mainland to suffer the floods. Major victims of the heavy rains include Surulere, Ikeja and so on. See tweets and reactions.

Some people even turned it into an Island – Mainland flood comparison

  1. Governor Fayose

Gov Ayodele Fayose was all smiles as he attended his son’s convocation from the Covenant University Ota last week. Whether you like him or not, you must admit that in a nation where leaders send their children to better Universities abroad, his sending his son to a university in Nigeria is worth emulating. We wish his son and other graduates well.

On the other hand, Arsenal was completely dominated by Chelsea, as the Blues trounced them three goals to zero in their pre-season friendly. Goals were by Willian and Michy Batshuayi who scored a brace as the champions coasted to victory. As expected, the #WengerOut chants have already re-begun. Sorry gunners.

  1. Kevin Hart cheating, Usher’s Herpes and R-Kelly’s sex cult

Sensational news about celebrities always spread like wild fire, and last week diminutive comedian – Kevin Hart, Pop/R&B artists – Usher and Rkelly were material for heavy discussion. While Usher is reported to have infected a lady with herpes and paid her off to keep her silent, R-Kelly is being faced with allegations of having a sex cult involving teenage girls. Kevin Hart was also reportedly caught cheating on his pregnant wife with the same woman he cheated on his ex-wife with. What a story line.
