At the 12th anniversary of the scary Ikeja Cantonment bomb blasts, late last month, two groups embarked on protests at the memorial arcade built in remembrance of the victims.
On Sunday, January 27, 2002 at about 1 pm, staccatos of bomb explosions from Ikeja Military Cantonment rocked Lagos and its environs. During the race to escape from the blasts, at least 1,000 people to died in the Oke-Afa Canal, in the then Oshodi Isolo Local Government Area.

The advantage of Lagos being located along the coastline has not been fully utilised because the waterway has not really been developed and the water transportation is still in its rudimentary stage.
In a place with over 20 million inhabitants, the water transportation needs to be more attractive to reduce road transportation prone to gridlock, which is one of the major issues of the magacity

Few years before now, the major demand of millions of residents of Ikorodu from the Federal and Lagos state governments was the reconstruction of the Mile 12-Ikorodu road to respond to the population explosion in the axis. But today, there are fresh challenges as the work progresses.

It has ben a string of attacks since Sunday, January 13 when Kawuri in Konduga LGA, Borno State was invaded by suspected Boko Haram insurgents, sacking about 37 communities with thousands of residents displaced taking refuge in Cameroon Republic and villages in Chibok, Damboa, Gwoza, Konduga council areas as well as Maiduguri, the state capital.

On January 26, 2014, the people of Chakawa village, a border community between Madagali in Adamawa State and Gwoza in Borno State woke up normally with high hopes of a crisis-free Sunday worship.
But, little did they know that danger loomed over the village, a predominantly Christian settlement.
