Naija Gists/Gossip

Let me start by apologising to two of my ardent readers I offended. Nma and Damilola...sorry sweets...I don't like it when people are mad at me, especially when they're I'm wrong...I've said it a few times that I can be pretty annoying sometimes...if any of my post really piss you off, just think of my other nice posts and smile for me ok? Kisses!

Ok so to Naija gossip gist. I'm sure y'all know I get most of all this stories from our Naija gossip mags...the journalists here will tell you that most of what they write is true. Some are actually true, some are total lies, while others have a little element of truth in it...so you choose what you want to believe or not...

Here we go...

Lagos State Police PRO speak on indecent dressing...
What do you have to say about the latest war on indecent dressing by the police?
Mr Bode Ojajuni "It is in the interest of the public"
But the police are abusing it, they even arrest innocent people at night without no reason
Mr Bode Ojajuni "We are only arresting people that are suspected. Don't you know that some ladies are being used to commit crimes? Those who are innocent and we screened them, were always immediately released by the police"
Don't you think the exercise is an infringement on people's fundamental human rights to freedom of movement?
Ojajuni "When robbers attack you, that is when you will know that it's not about fundamental human rights"
What an Arse! Ass! Arss! In every way it can be spelt!

So feel free to gossip about others...you know what they say about gossip? If you don't gossip about others, they'll gossip about you...lol

On a final note, I'd like to send my condolences to the family of Thisday's deputy Editor, 36 year old Samuel Famakin, who died on Thursday July 26th 2007. I don't know him personally, but his death seemed to have affected a lot of Naija journalists, who seem suspicious of the way he died. He was a father of two and his wife is 8months pregnant. May his soul rest in peace. Also, to the family of Ibukun Adeniyi, the undergraduate who died on the Lagos-Benin road, on her way back to school, and to Senator Obanikoro, whose daughter was the only survivor of the accident. May pretty Ibukun rest in peace...amen!

See y'all later.
