Fashola, we are dying of noise pollution

Dear Sir, I hope this appeal meets you in good health. As you wind down on the final year of your administration, I have decided to draw your attention to one of the challenges that make Lagos one of the most hazardous places to live in the world. The menace of noise pollution in this city is one issue I believe your administration must pay close attention to beyond the current half-hearted approach of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency and the Ministry of the Environment.

The danger of a scourge that has made Lagos to be lowly ranked on the Liveable City Index certainly demands a more aggressive approach. As you would have noticed in my introduction, my concern was to first ask after your health condition. This is because I believe that since you live among us, you are also affected by the chaos this city has become. I know that as you go about your official duties, you are also not immune from the nuisance of noise pollution.

There is no doubt that Illegal migration has proven itself to be bad in every ramification. But why do Nigerian youths still take the risk of travelling through illegal channels despite the efforts of the government to stop this so far? Little wonder stakeholders are expressing concern.

A prosecution witness on Tuesday told an Abuja Federal High Court that an arrested Boko Haram member, Mustapha Umar, wept bitterly over his failure to die in a suicide-bombing mission.

The arrested suicide bomber is “always crying because the operation he went for failed, he said that he would have been happier if he had died in the operation with people (victims) so that he would be in heaven.” 

Umar is standing trial for bombing a plaza housing the offices of some newspapers in Kaduna in April 2012.

The witness, a police detective, said he interrogated Umar after he was arrested in Kaduna and brought to Abuja. The accused is unhappy because not dying with victims of the attack had denied him the opportunity to make it to heaven and enjoy his "virgins".

One problem is that they like to go to churches where they do paparazzi and the rest. They don't want to come to the truth and that is why they are dying this way. If they come to me, I will tell them the mystery why people are dying in Nollywood just like I've been able to tell Nigerians why electricity can't be stable in Nigeria. I know why they are dying. Let them come to me"
