Despite the sacking of 788 doctors on May 4, 2012, the face-off between the Lagos State government and the Medical Guild continues unabated. Rather than wane, the discord between the two parties appears to be waxing stronger.

Like the common saying “all things work together for our good,” so it was for 32-year-old single mother, Mrs. Kikelomo Ilori, who after making several attempts to abort a pregnancy, ended up giving birth to a boy in a Cherubim & Seraphim Church, clinching a Holy Quran in his right hand.

The week has been a very busy one but not in the sense of national re-birth or national development. It was a mélange involving former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidency, the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, also jumped into the fray, while the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Buhari’s political party chose not to be left out.

Most Nigerians have congratulated the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) over the recent introduction of per-paid meter as the new way of the payment of power bills.

In 2005, a new phase of meter was introduced in the country as a way of addressing issues pertaining to electricity billing system in the country. While the deployment of the new pre-paid meter introduced in 2005 was still on in the Lagos district, further distribution had been suspended in the Ikeja distribution zone since July last year.
