The Lagos State House of Assembly yesterday January 20th passed a bill seeking to make smoking in public places illegal in the state, with first offenders having options of paying a fine of N10,000, three months in jail or both. The bill which is waiting the approval of Gov. Fashola to be signed into law prohibits residents from smoking in places such as libraries, museum, public toilets, schools, hospital, day-care centres, public transportation, restaurants among others.
Lagos residents who break this new law repeatedly would either be sent to prison for 6 months or pay a fine of N50,000, while owners of public places who encourage the breaking of this law would pay a fine of N100,000 or be sent to jail for six months.

The bill also seeks to punish anyone who smokes in front of a child with a fine of N15,000 or six months imprisonment. The bill also directs corporate organizations to place the 'No Smoking' sign in their premises. Companies who default would pay a fine of N250,000.
The Bill when passed into law would be supervised by the Lagos Environmental Protection Agency.

A Pastor who operates and resides in Oyo State, Pastor Adepoju who was a former pastor at The Apostolic church, TAC, Oke Afata, Gbongan in Osun State has stabbed his pastor friend to death in his home. Adepoju left Ibadan for Osun State to meet with Pastor Julius Olusoji Oguntoye in Osun State pretending to be there for a courtesy visit.

After Oguntoye welcomed him, Adepoju immediately brought out a knife from his suit and stabbed Oguntoye several times. He stabbed him on his head, chest and stomach.  While stabbing him, the pastor accused him of using his glory and that of his children.
Oguntoye, 48, was buried on Monday in Ede, Osun State amid tears. Some of his members described him as an easy going person who cannot hurt a fly. He was reportedly transferred to Gbongan five months ago from Ede, where he served for 12 years as a Pastor. Interestingly, Adepoju was the best man of late Oguntoye when he got married several years ago. The killer has been arrested by the police.

US Threatens to Sanction Nigeria over Anti-Gay bill

 
 
 
 
 
 
The US has threatened to sanction Nigeria following President Jonathan’s signing of the Same-Sex Prohibition Act 2014. The world power is threatening to scale down its support for HIV/AIDS and anti-malaria programmes in Nigeria. This was made known yesterday Jan. 20th by James Entwistle, the US Ambassador to Nigeria.

Mr Entwistle said he was worried about "the implications of the anti-same sex marriage law which seems to restrict the fundamental rights of a section of the Nigerian population.”

"The issue of same-sex marriage was very controversial all over the world, including within  the United States where 17 states out of 50 had endorsed it, but others still reject its legality. The issue that we see and I am speaking as a friend of Nigeria is that as I read the bill, it looks to me that it puts significant restrictions on the freedoms of assembly and expression; in my opinion which applies especially in advanced democracies, once government begins to say something in these areas, freedom no longer applies. It seems to me that this is a very worrisome precedent.”
