img 20231126 wa00067E271466632519470715 The CEO of Nigerians In Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has emphasized the importance of acquiring proper documentation for Nigerians seeking opportunities abroad. During her recent visit to a shelter in Brampton, Ontario, where stranded Nigerians reside, she urged compatriots to travel responsibly and uphold a positive image of Nigeria overseas.
Dabiri-Erewa's visit included an interactive session with the Nigerian community in the city, during which she cautioned against unscrupulous practices leading to potential challenges for those seeking greener pastures. Prince Kayode Olaide, a Nigerian-born Canadian resident, highlighted instances where individuals would claim asylum under the pretext of life-threatening situations in Nigeria.
"These individuals often arrive without financial means, seeking refuge in shelters and food banks," explained Olaide. "Some enter as visitors, while others misuse study visas to pursue asylum claims. The strain on shelters has become pronounced, prompting the Canadian government to accommodate asylum seekers in hotels, incurring substantial costs for accommodation, feeding, and legal support."
He further detailed the process, indicating that asylum seekers submit their stories to the Canadian government, which then processes work permits while awaiting a hearing before a panel. Legal aid is provided to support individuals through the legal proceedings.
The increasing number of asylum seekers crossing from the US to Canada has posed challenges for local governments, leading to a heightened need for resources to manage the influx. As NIDCOM continues its efforts to engage with the Nigerian diaspora, Dabiri-Erewa's call serves as a reminder for individuals to adhere to proper procedures when seeking opportunities abroad.

In a collaborative effort between the Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA) and UNICEF, the Eko Social Health Alliance (EKOSHA)...

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.

009knbvvyi5381761536757371257 Christ Compassion Crusade, led by Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, founder of KICC, left an indelible mark on the rural world (specifically in Igbogbo, Ikorodu) with their 'This Is Life Crusade.'
The event, spanning a week, concluded on a high note with the last day solely dedicated to medical outreach.
Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo shared insights during his morning glow program on social media, recounting the challenges and triumphs of the crusade.
He highlighted the unpredictable weather, from heavy rainfall on the first night to a scorching 32-degree Sun on the final day.
The pinnacle of the medical outreach was the deworming of an astounding 15 thousand children.
Pastor Matthew expressed initial concern about the overwhelming crowd, assuming they were gathered for welfare packages. However, to his surprise, the community eagerly sought medical assistance, showcasing a collective commitment to health.
"I announced that we were only having medicals, and those expecting welfare packages should go home. But, lo and behold, nobody left; they all came for medicals!" Pastor Matthew recounted.
Despite the initial apprehension about time constraints, the team managed to attend to a large number of individuals, attributing the success to divine intervention.
Pastor Matthew further praised the dedicated medical team, noting that surgeons worked tirelessly, even past eleven on Friday night, addressing various medical issues.
The surgeries encompassed a range of cases, from children without testes to men with anomalies like aeniers and growths on their bodies.
The pastor emphasized that, remarkably, there were no casualties, and all patients received thorough and compassionate care before being discharged. "Every moment I could remember is one form of testimony or the other," he added, underlining the positive impact the crusade had on the lives of the rural community.
The 'This Is Life Crusade' not only provided essential medical services but also exemplified the power of communal solidarity and compassionate outreach, leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts and health of those in need.
