Lagos State Bus Driver Speaks

The Lagos state government staff bus driver who collided with a moving train in the state’s Ikeja area on Thursday has urged the victims of the crash to forgive him.

This is coming after one of the survivors of the crash, identified simply as Titilayo, while recounting the events leading up to the collision, said in a conversation with reporters that they pleaded with the bus driver to wait for the train to pass, but he refused.

Another survivor said the 44-year-old driver, Oluwaseun Osinbajo, put on his earphones while driving and ignored orders from the railway’s signal officers.

According to new reports, the driver has been transferred to the state’s Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Branch, while up to seven people have been confirmed dead and others injured in the accident are currently being treated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.

The driver, who works with the Lagos State Ministry of Transport, shared his version of what happened on that fateful day, blaming a mechanical failure in the bus for the incident.

“It was not my fault. How could I have ignored warning signs? The bus had a mechanical fault. It is a pity this has happened. I beg everyone affected to please forgive me in the name of God.” The Vanguard newspaper quoted him as saying.

Designer Of Nigeria’s Flag, Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi Dies At 87

Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi Flag

Nigerian civil servant and the designer of the National flag, Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi has died at the age of eighty-seven (87).

According to his family, Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi died in the early hours of Tuesday, August 29th, following a brief illness.

One of his children announced his tragic death on Facebook.

“Life is indeed transient; I can say boldly that you live a life with a landmark. Continue to rest, my father! Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi (O.F.R.): Great Man has gone.”

The late Pa Michael Taiwo Akinwunmi, born on May 10th, 1936, had his primary education at Baptist Day Secondary School, Ibadan, and his secondary education at Ibadan Grammar School. He started his career as a civil servant at the Ibadan Secretariat and then went abroad to the Norwegian Technical College to study agricultural engineering.

While living abroad in 1958, Akinkunmi came across an article in a national newspaper requesting for ideas for the Nigerian flag in light of the country’s impending independence from British rule. His application was selected as the best among approximately 2,000 others.

A red sun with flowing rays was placed on the white band of the initial flag design, which was bordered by two green bands. The oversight committee ultimately left the sun to create the current design.

The ingenuity and subtlety of Akinkunmi’s design were key factors in his choice (the white band symbolizes peace, while the green bands reflect the country’s immense natural resources and forests). On Independence Day (October 1, 1960), the American flag was raised in place of the British Union Jack.

When Akinkunmi’s project was chosen, the government gave him 100 pounds. Additionally, President Goodluck Jonathan awarded him the MON (Member of the Order of the Niger) award.

A 20-Year-Old Kenyan Lady

A 20-year-old Kenyan lady, known as Shakilla, has claimed that women lose their attractiveness and value faster than men.

20-year-old Kenyan lady says

In a video circulating on the Internet, the 20-year-old lady advises women to make the most of their opportunities while they are still young because when they cross a certain age, it’s over for them.

According to her, women become less desirable in the eyes of their husbands between the ages of 28 and 30 and men begin to seek out younger girls like her.

In her words,

“Women expire faster than men, if you have an opportunity at your young age use it well, build yourself a house and do other things. When you turn 28-30, you’re done and your husbands will be looking for young girls like us”

Her statement sparked a huge controversy on social media, with many chastising her for age-shaming women as if she wouldn’t age herself.
