Third Mainland Bridge re-opens 10 days ahead of schedule
Yey! Finally, after months of closure the Third Mainland Bridge, the longest bridge connecting Lagos Island to the mainland was re-opened on yesterday, Tuesday, earlier than estimated.
Rehabilitations on the bridge started in July resulting in its partial closure. Reports had been rife that the bridge was oscillating in 2006.
This led to the inspection of the bridge and the eventual rehabilitation and replacement of expansion joints in July.
Thank God. Hopefully, traffic flow from the mainland to the Island will be better. Although, I must confess that it wasn't actually as bad as we all thought it will be during the repairs.

Eyewitnesses told SaharaReporters that a lone car bomber approached the church gate hoping to quietly drive into the church before exploding the bomb but the security men at the gate refused him entry.
The bomber then reversed his car and rammed it forcefully against the gate of the church, the gate caved in as the bomb exploded injuring several churchgoers.
Nigerian troops have cordoned off the area while the police and Kaduna state government officials are calming down christian residents in the area to avoid religious confrontations that typically follows such attack in the state.

Hey Guys,
Thanks to everyone who has sent me one message or the other asking me where I've been and why I haven't been updating my blog. I feel so loved!
Really, I've been fine but been mad busy and one hot dude has been keeping me busy *blushing*.

I'll tell you guys all the details soon but for now, I'm back and I promise never to missing on you again.
Ok.. I know a lot has been happening but the most shocking of them all so far has been the Aluu 4. I know most of you must have seen the video and read about those poor souls that were merciless and brutally murdered in Uniport. All we can say is justice be served to those wicked people and may the souls of the students rest in peace.
I beg, has anyone seen Patience Jonathan? I hear Nigerians are looking for her as she seems to have gone missing. I hope she returns in good health, we've all missed her queen's English.

Oh my gosh! Man caught selling Vulture as roasted Chicken in Port Harcourt
What! I don't find this gist funny at all.
This man was caught trapping vultures in Onne, Portharcourt that he roasts as suya chicken and sells to unsuspecting customers.
His excuse was that he used to sell real chicken but chicken got too expensive, so, he started trapping vultures and selling to his customers.
He catches the vultures by rubbing snuff on fresh meat to make the carcass-eating ugly birds dizzy and too weak to fly away after eating the meat.
Abeg, is vulture healthy meat? Just the thought of vultures eating dead meat in refuse dumps and their very dirty looks make me want to puke.
