oppinbfg5615123600452693404 In a disturbing incident on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, a Nigerian man lost his life outside a shelter in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, as he struggled to find refuge from the cold. The shelter, along with others in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), was reportedly at full capacity, highlighting a pressing issue in the region. The dire situation was witnessed firsthand by a concerned couple, who had taken a refugee claimant to a shelter two weeks prior. Despite arriving with two Kenyan ladies and a Nigerian man seeking warmth, they were met with a heartbreaking scene—no available space inside the shelter. The couple, forced to make a painful decision, left the individuals outside due to a lack of housing options. This incident sheds light on the overwhelming demand for shelter in the GTA, compounded by the challenges faced by those arriving in Canada on visiting visas and subsequently seeking asylum. The Canadian government has invested significantly in housing refugee claimants, both in shelters and hotels, but the strain on resources is palpable. Rising house rents, attributed to increased mortgage rates by the Bank of Canada to combat inflation, add to the complexity of the situation. The influx of people from various countries, often without a concrete plan for survival, underscores the need for comprehensive solutions beyond immediate shelter provision. The narrator urges a shift in focus from assigning blame to seeking collaborative solutions. Acknowledging the strain on the Canadian government's budget, the plea extends to the international community to support initiatives aimed at assisting those in need. Moreover, the narrative emphasizes the importance of informed relocation decisions, cautioning against hasty moves driven by the perception of greener pastures. The incident's potential impact on the approval rate of visitor visas is also highlighted, urging a more responsible approach to immigration. The closing remarks stress the need for diaspora communities, particularly Africans, to foster a sense of unity and actively contribute to the well-being of fellow residents rather than solely relying on host countries.

CONCERNS ARISE OVER SHELTER CONDITIONS IN MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA – PRINCE KAYODE OLAIDE ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

1699976381376 The Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday frowned at the alleged recklessness of some motorists operating in the state just as the lawmakers raised concerns over the activities of some officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). At a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, the House invited the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa, to appear and give explanations concerning the incessant recklessness of drivers and the roles played by LASTMA officials. Also invited, among others, is the General Manager of LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba. The decision of the House followed a ‘Matter of Urgent Public Importance’ raised by a member, Hon. Temitope Adewale, on the death of two officials of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) resulting from a road rage engaged in by two drivers. Speaker Obasa, while noting that incidents involving recklessness of drivers and careless attitudes of LASTMA officials were on the increase, said, in addition to the invitation of the affected top officials, there was a need to revisit the laws guiding transportation in the state. “The Commissioner and others can be invited so we know what to do to change the current narrative. It is good that we also look at the law to see the penalties. Maybe this would reduce such recklessness on the roads. “The driver who has been arrested must be prosecuted to the latter. If the driver is not found, the owner of the vehicle should be arrested where the driver is an employee of someone so as to serve as deterrent to other motorists,” Dr. Obasa said. The Speaker also supported suggestions by the Majority Leader, Noheem Adams, and another lawmaker, Gbolahan Yishawu, that modern technology be added by the government in the cleaning of roads in the state, but said it was necessary to accommodate the sweepers, who, he argued, were employed to earn a living and assist their families. “We have to call on our people, the road users, to be very careful. LAWMA should also come up with ideas to help protect staff, insure them and make the motorists know when the sweepers are working,” the Speaker said while calling for more enlightenment of motorists. The House held a minute silence in honour of the deceased while Obasa instructed the Clerk, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko, to convey a condolence message to the bereaved families. Meanwhile, the House of Assembly may dust up the law regulating transportation to address the problem of alleged multiple taxations by various unions in the sector. Dr. Obasa gave the hint following a motion raised by Hon. Adewale, over a recent protest against alleged extortion by the transport unions in Lagos. “This alleged extortion affects our people generally and looking at the economic condition of the country, we need to intervene. We must be able to define the paths that these unionists have to tread so that they do not make life unbearable for the people. “At every bus stop, they collect money causing traffic snare. At the end, the man making the payment would go home with nothing and to avoid this, he has to put the weight on the commuters. “We must avoid a situation where people would be moved to take laws into their hands. We need to extract seriousness out of this situation. Where there is a law, there will be penalties,” he said while calling for the engagement of candidates recently interviewed for recruitment into the Neighbourhood Safety Corps to expand the security network in the state. The House resolved to invite the transport unions in the state for discussion.

fb img 16994585227982698298340191900093 Warning: The Below video contains graphic images that some persons would not like after watching! Shocking videos have emerged online, capturing the moment a lady allegedly bled to death after her friend slashed her hand during a heated altercation, inciting widespread outrage among netizens. The distressing footage, which has now gone viral, was initially shared on Tuesday by a user identified as "Obaofph01" on the platform X. The post was accompanied by the caption, "Girl mistakenly kills her friend in a fight. Dear women, please mind the kind of friends you keep; the hearts of some girls are darker than the devil's heart. The smaller the circle, the better." In the first video, the incident unfolded as the lady slashed her friend's forearm during a dispute, while the subsequent footage depicted the victim lying on the ground in a pool of blood. The incident has prompted a strong reaction on Twitter, with users offering various perspectives on the situation. Some individuals advised on essential first-aid measures that could have been taken to mitigate the situation, emphasizing the importance of immediate medical attention. Others vehemently condemned the act and called for the apprehension of the assailant and any witnesses. Rob MD, providing medical advice, stated, "Just a medical advice: if ever in such a situation, don’t panic; get a cloth and tie it firmly around the bleeding point; help the victim to lie down and rush to the nearest hospital. That was an arterial bleed that led to her exsanguination. We need to place more emphasis on first-aid measures to save such situations. Even the person who was doing the video would have done a better job giving first aid help." Ohifeme00 added, "If any of them were educated enough, they would have known how to slow down the bleeding and get her to a hospital." Expressing sorrow over the tragedy, Mr. Sly remarked, "Saddened by her preventable death, I am deeply heartbroken. The application of a simple homemade tourniquet using a belt or fabric could have significantly reduced her blood loss and helped her receive medical support." Irunnia criticized the apparent lack of immediate action, asking, "Over ten grown adult women, but not one with a functioning brain, not even the dead girl. So none of them thought about covering the wound and rushing her to the nearest hospital? All they did was record. Record for who?" BongoIdeas urged the authorities to take action, tweeting, "The company you keep could determine whether you live long or not. All the girls gotta be arrested firstly for their ignorance and secondly for their negligence." Abazz also supported the call for arrest, stating, "Please arrest all of them in that house. She was bleeding for a long time, and no one cared to rush her to the hospital?" Rasheed Zubair expressed the possibility that those present may not have realized the gravity of the situation but agreed that they should face legal consequences. He said, "They probably thought it wouldn't be that serious, but I agree they should all serve jail terms."
