Lagos State Government says residents of the state spend over N1bn on parties and entertainment every month.

Punch News has it that, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Ademorin Kuye, said this on Thursday at the briefing of the ministry in Alausa, Ikeja.

Kuye, while responding to a question on the validity of Merriment Tax being collected by local governments in the state, said the figure was a product of a recent research conducted by the state’s Ministry of Economic Planning and Budgeting.

He said the benefits of entertainment industry had not been fully utilized in Lagos and the country, adding that taxes that should accrue to the government were spent on social gatherings.

Parties could be seen in Lagos state at the end of the week in every nuke and cranny. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are Lagos party days.

A joint task force comprising of both operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) and Operation Mesa (OP Mesa), a combined security outfit comprising the police and the armed forces, had in March raided the hideout of the alleged terrorists and recovered a large cache of bombs, weapons and ammunition.

Such threats and information are not to be treated lightly as no one knows what these so called terrorist have strategized. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

ThisDay Live has it that some of the 2,000 troops deployed in Borno in the aftermath of the presidential proclamation, have begun an offensive to retake territory seized by the Islamist insurgents by raiding camps in a game reserve in the state.
The Agence France Press (AFP) quoting a military source, said the troops raided the terrorists’ camps in the Sambisa Game Reserve, located in northern Borno, early on Wednesday to flush out members of the terrorist group who have killed about 4,000 people since 2009 when they took to arms struggle following the extra judicial killing of the sect leader, Mohammed Yusuf.

Where necessary, the military could also resort to air strikes as it confirmed Thursday that it was ready to launch air strikes against the Islamists.

Despite the peaceful negotiation offered by the Federal Government which the Boko Haram sect turned down, many still believed that the State of Emergency rule was rather a harsh one BUT must we wait until all is dry and spoil before taking an offensive step?

CAN President, Papa Ayo Oritsejafor demands a disbandment on the Amnesty Committee set up before the Emergency Rule.

Channels TV reports:

Mr. Oritsejafor maintains that, “the committee was no longer relevant and should be dissolved.”

Mr. Oritsejafor has persistently opposed the negotiation option with the Islamist fundamentalists that have staged attacks against churches and other public places across the states in the northern part of the country.

The leader of the Christian community in Nigeria on Wednesday said that the declaration of a state of emergency in three North East states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, is a justified action and a vindication of CAN’s position that negotiation with terrorists will always end up a futile exercise.

In another story published by Vanguard News on the 10th of May, 2013, Papa Ayo opposed the wasteful nature of Tax payers fund in the Amnesty programme. He was quoted as saying:

“Indeed, the arrogant and deriding manner with which Boko Haram dismissed the amnesty deal coupled with the earlier quoted statement by Abu Qaqa have both reinforced our stance that the sect’s only interest is to eliminate Christians and enthrone an Islamic state in Nigeria. This is why we are again calling on President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan not to waste tax payers’ money on a futile exercise”
