Inspiring! Man who sold Nylon bags, served as a bus conductor and Laborer in Lagos emerges Speaker, Lagos Assembly
Very Inspiring story. Mudashiru Obasa, a politician representing Agege Constituency 1, who started his life as a street hawker who sold Nylon bags and wrist watches and later became a bus conductor and Laborer, all to eke a living while growing up in Lagos, today became the new speaker of the Lagos state House of Assembly. He is pictured below taking his oath of office. Congrats to him. Read about his early beginning below...
"I grew up in the Papa Ashafa area of Agege and there is hardly anything I have not done to make money, except armed robbery. Maybe I was too young to be an armed robber, but talking about hustling, there is hardly any type I have not gone into. I did all this on my own volition and not because my father could not afford to pay my school fees, but the friends I grew up with were always in one engagement or another. We would go to Agege Motor Road to sell nylon bags.
Then, 12 nylon bags is half the price when we buy and you would make times two of the amount you invested. Within few hours, you would have sold an encouraging amount. I was once a bus conductor, I was a labourer…just mention it. For me, I don’t believe in staying idle and that is why when people approach me asking for assistance to help them pay their children’s school fees, their accommodation and others, I ask them who is going to pay the next one. So why don’t you find something to do? For me, I don’t believe in staying idle and that is why when people approach me asking for assistance to help them pay their children’s school fees, their accommodation and others, I ask them who is going to pay the next one.
So why don’t you find something to do? That’s also why I don’t strongly believe in unemployment. If your father is not Dangote or Otedola and co, then you must look for something to do. It is only one with such as a father that can dictate where he wants to work. You have to be engaged, you have to do something to cross to another level,” he told PM news.

A Nigerian businessman based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Mr Emmanuel Onyekaozuru, 50, was killed yesterday Sunday June 7th by gunmen. The President of Nigeria Union in South Africa, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, on Monday told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Pretoria, South Africa, that Onyekaozuru was shot by two gunmen.

The report said that the gunmen shot the deceased and escaped in a car. The incident has been reported to the police and the Nigerian Consul General in South Africa,’’ he said.
Anyene said that the union would work with the consul general and the police to ensure that justice was done in the case.
"Mr Onyekaozuru is the only son of his parents. He is married with three children. He is an indigene of Abatete in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State,’’ he said.
Anyene also said that the gunmen did not remove anything from the business premises of the deceased.
"This is one death too many and we are not happy that a Nigerian has been killed,’’ he said.

Photo: Woman in police custody for sharing fake testimony in Lagos churches
A middle aged woman identified as Mrs Blessing Emeka Eze (pictured above), is currently in the custody of the Iju Police station for going to different churches in Lagos to give false testimony and extorting money from unsuspecting worshipers. Mrs Eze, an indigene of Owode, Ogun State was said to be in the habit of going to different churches claiming that her 8 year old daughter, Precious, was kidnapped and released after 11 days.
According to PM News, she was arrested yesterday June 7th after she attended Four Square Gospel Church, Obawole, Iju station and gave the same testimony.
While giving her testimony, the woman claimed that her daughter told her that the kidnappers gave her raw meat and food items to eat while she was in the supposed kidnappers den. The resident pastor, Rev Adekunle immediately asked his staff to take the little girl to go see a medical doctor. When they got to the hospital, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with the little girl as all the test carried out on her showed she was hale and hearty and had not swallowed anything that was damaging to her system.
While the doctor and the church members were trying to figure out what was going on, two people who knew the woman with the girl walked in and informed them that the same woman had come to their church, Christ Apostolic Church Ogba last Sunday, to also share the same testimony. They said their Pastor gave the woman N5,000 for the girl's upkeep.
Sensing foul play, the church members quizzed the woman who after much persuasion confessed that her daughter was never kidnapped and that she was using her to get people to give her money for their upkeep. She was afterwards handed to the police at the Iju police station.
