WOMAN BUYS VULTURE INSTEAD OF FROZEN CHICKEN IN LAGOS
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU..
As Paedia Express Multimedia ‘s inquests into the alleged shipment of the controversial Asian Corn beef begins in earnest ,it has being discovered albeit in a world exclusive investigation that a woman{names with held}surprisingly brought a live vulture instead of the frozen chicken she paid for at a highbrow supermarket in Lagos,Nigeria during the 2016 yuletide fiesta.
Checks by this reporter revealed that the woman believed to work for a Lagos based food and beverage company had to eventually throw away the strange looking bird as she neither paid for a vulture nor a duck during the controversial transaction.
The source who told this reporter of the sad incident affirmed that since the bird was well wrapped in a package ,it was difficult for the buyer to have spotted it among other things that she had brought until she got home.
She speaks:”She had to throw away the vulture as had an unusually long neck upon inspection”
At around 1:30P.m. on the 23 rd of June,2016 ,The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia finally met with Mr Linus Eshiet ,Branch Manager of Shoprite ,Ikeja,Lagos,Nigeria to alert him on the recent spate of information trending in global food business while pleading with him to be allowed to do a check.
Eshiet thanked this reporter for informing them of trends and affirmed that they will continue to collaborate with Paedia Express even in the future if need be.

This reporter then did a facility tour of the frozen chicken section of the supermarket and saw chicken variants branded in Shoprite,Zartech and Natnudo Colours  but with nothing amiss during the inspection exercise.

AFRICA:BEWARE OF ASIAN CORN BEEF

BIZARRE!!!
AFRICA:BEWARE OF ASIAN CORN BEEF
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU…
The people of the Republic of Malaysia are believed to have started producing canned corn beef using dead human remains as its main constituents.
In a facebook posting by Ghanaian ,Madam Barbara Akosua Aboagye on the 3rd of May,2016 at around 8:44 P.M. ,Africans were warned to steer clear of every Chinese or Malaysian mad canned food product with particular reference to corn beef and minced meat.
Madam Aboagye pleaded with Africans to stay away from  foreign beefy caned product from the Far East found in every Afro-Asian grocery shops around the continent.
Aboagye was so concerned while posting the news worthy information online that she asked her friends from Ghana and around the world to send it to others.
A source speaks:”I hear that they claim that their cemetery was full and so they have to device the present method of canning human cadaba “
“They do not however eat it,my sister from the United States sent the piece of information to me on my social media “
Yet another source confirmed that she got the news through her Whatsapp phone platform..
In his own contributions to the growing debate on the affair,Elder Sunday Ogunyale of the African  Church  of God in Ifako-Ijaiye ,Lagos State revealed to this reporter that he was aware that such obnoxious practices exists among the Chinese for so long as they use it for corn beef and mince meat.
This reporter saw web pictures of a  Malaysian   and Chinese national with several laps of different humans publicly displayed as if on a barbecue ‘s public exhibition.
Checks Also showed that a particular canned product of corn beef was labelled  light meat tuna..
In a related issue,another source told this reporter that it won”t be the first time she will hear of such cannibalistic tendencies and pleaded with the government to swing  into action to stem the tide.
Another source, told this reporter that eating of human meat has a very dangerous spiritual dimension added to it as it has the tendency to make the consumer behave and act like a sadist.
When this reporter got to the Cinch Supermarket at Georgeous Cole  Estate in Ifako-Ijaiye ,Lagos,Nigeria to see the possibility of buying a corn beef for forensic analysis on the 22nd of June,2016,he was told to come back after another 24 hours by an attendant As the retail outfit was still expecting some new deliveries.
In a related issue,Mrs Mary Agbeyegbe has however disagreed that all corn beef were bad as she disclosed that she and members of her family usually consume Argentine made corn beef.
She paid tributes to canned corn beef products from Brazil and Argentina  as she singled them out for being top quality.

So from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco,The River Niger and its plains in West Africa,The Congo Basin in Equatorial Africa  ,Somalian axis in the Horns of Africa.Bantu and Zulu Nation ,South of the Limpopo River:you are warned to steer clear  of Asian made canned corn beef as Paedia Express Multimedia continues its inquests on the matter as at press time.

ISTANBUL AIRPORT:FACEBOOK USED IN TRACKING THE MISSING

ISTANBUL  AIRPORT:FACEBOOK USED IN TRACKING THE MISSING
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU..
A Facebook application is now said to be in vogue in Turkey as the government pulls all vital stops to determine the number of death and survivors of the recent terrorist attacks at the Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul ,Turkey.
In an exclusive chat with The News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos, Nigeria ,it was discovered that some Africans were involved among the death recorded.
The source however explained that though he had a video call via skype with some of his friends in Istanbul as at press time,it was still early days to know or determine the number of Nigerians involved.
He noted that the recent influx of Syrian Refugees into Turkey aside from the possible entry of I.S.I.S operatives must have made Istanbul a very vulnerable location at this time.

At least 28 people are believed to have been killed in the recent explosions that rocked the Ataturk International Airport  in Istanbul,Turkey with video surveillance camera showing that two men linked to terrorism and wired to the hilt were seen involved in the sporadic shooting the took place with security forces moments before going suicidal with wired bombs

BREXIT:SCOTLAND TO LEAVE DISUNITED KINGDOM

BREXIT:SCOTLAND TO LEAVE DISUNITED KINGDOM
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU..
Echoes of the just concluded referendum  regarding the possibility of the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union is beginning to hit very hard.
Feelers received by The News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria shows that those who feel very strongly that the last referendum which forced Scotland to remain in the United Kingdom was rigged in favour of those against it are  now pushing for a new move towards the Independence of Scotland.
Over 33 million people participated in a recent referendum from England ,Scotalnd,Wales,Northern Ireland and Gibraltar with Brexit results showing that Scotland voted overwhelmingly in favour of remaining in the European Union as 32 out of 32 councils chose to remain in the European Union instead of leaving.
“Scotland has delivered a strong ,unequivocal vote to remain in the E.U. and I welcome that endorsement of our European statues “Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said in a statement.
The Vote here makes clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union “he added.

It would be recalled that during the  last general elections held in the United Kingdom ,The Scottish National Party [S.N.P.]won an unprecedented 59 out of 60 seats in the British Parliament as Scottish agitators continue to press home demands for independence and political reforms.

 AS AT PRESS TIME,BUT PAEDIA EXPRESS AWAITS OFFICIAL PRONOUNCEMENT
She looks very beautiful and even despite her age,Lady Maiden Ibru will still make a lot of heads to turn anywhere she goes.
She is an outrageously beautiful woman, but this is as far as the sentiment goes, because inside of her is a satanic  force darker than black itself or else how can one explain her reasons for deciding to keep in her employ people who are professionally tagged as misfits and should ordinarily be in prison if Nigeria were to be a sane environment.
In a related issue,The fight to control news and dissemination of information got even messier at the weekend as the forgery scandal rocking the Nigerian press got into its 12 th year.
Checks by the News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos,Nigeria showed that after the verbal confrontation  between the Lagos State Governor and the founder of Paedia Express ,the gang up against the latter has become even more serious.
On the 25th of April,2016,Governor Akinwunmi Ambode was spotted alongside Former Vice President ,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar at a London function in a photo news which  was published on the front cover of the Independent Newspapers of Nigeria.
Ordinarily ,this will have been a normal shot but judging from the fact that the spat between Ambode and Adeku  took place a week before the meeting,then it was interpreted as an attempt by officials of the Lagos state government to promote the politician as an independent person rather than been viewed as a stooge of any politician..
It is strange that the former veepee considered a filthy political rag by the Tinubu political camp was the one chosen for this shot by Ambode,a die hard Tinubu associate: what an irony…..
It would be recalled that about the time of the verbal confrontation, a sundry information about two Nigerian scammers who tried to defraud Governor Ambode started to trend and was even promoted to high heavens as state propagandists tried to douse  the tension in the state.
Paedia Express Founder, Mr Abdulmumini Adeku after raising an alarm at Governor Ambode’s attempt to use executive fiat using the Nigerian Police to  lay siege in front of a junction near his private residence in the name of security so as to make his godfather, Tinubu happy later relaxed this ,but it would appear that same has since resumed as at press time.
On the 25 th of April, and 26th April,2016,pictures of Mrs Maiden Ibru and Africa’s leading business magnate :Alhaji Aliko Dangote were splashed  in front of the day’s edition of The  Guardian Newspapers  who gave the Hausa born business magnate guru an award as Man-of-The-Year for 2016.
Speculations are rife that this award  would have set the trader back by at least N1Billion as usually moguls pay for them .
It is strongly believed that since The Guardian Newspapers is losing a lot of money due to the forgery scandal rocking its boat since 2004,this is one of the ways the owners of the firm have cooked up to block the holes in the loss of revenues and give the general public the impression that all was well in there domain.
The disgraced publisher, Lady Maiden Ibru, who had been underground  since the scam broke  big time to a traffic of at least 4billion people globally suddenly got her her mojo after a recent meeting with Chief Ajibola Ogunshola ,Former Chairman of The Punch Newspapers at an Institute of Directors meeting where a picture between the two was captured by The Punch Newspapers.
This may not have being unconnected to a back cover editorial comment by The Punch Newspapers in which it was critical of The Guardian Newspapers, though it never made mention of the forgery scam rocking the Rutam House outfit…
The Paedia Express editorial team had also spotted a denial from Professor Wole Soyinka  on Tinubu as his public relations team tried to package his bad public image.
The highly respected Nigerian denied praising him as alleged in a newspapers reportage  thus fuelling suggestions that there was  a clandestine effort to dress Tinubu in a royal garb at all cost even if it appeared suicidal.
There has being a lot of altercations between Eko Foundation, The Punch Newspapers ,Lagos State Government over the choice of Kongi as the Chairman  of Lagos at 50 fiesta.
Checks also showed that between February to March,2016,an award  was held in the television broadcast sector of The Nigerian Press with Television Continental winning in major categories in an industry that also had the likes of Channels Television,African Independent Television ,Silverbird amongst others.
It is believed that this event was fixed to massage the bruised ego of Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu .
It was eventually gathered by this reporter that even the online newspaper award by The Guardian Newspapers was fixed to give a wrong impression to cover-up that all was well as the brand does not have the highest online traffic among Nigerian newspaper companies.
On April,21,2016 ,Pastor Williams Kumuyi was featured on page two column,Naija Heroes as a hero in the Nigerian nation by The Guardian Newspapers .
Feelers suggests the way the highly respected clergy was bruised by Paedia Express as the latter rebuked him for moving around Nigeria with a forgery expert in the name of faith while allowing a charlatan to pose as a professional journalist, well,it would appear that this did not go down well the highly respected clergy  and now Eluemuno Emeka Izeze ,a member of the evil clan has to manipulate the news by arranging public relations hypes for the man so as to help massage his ego or placate him.
On page 15 of April,2016 edition of The Guardian Newspapers ,the brand promoted its Man-of-The Year awards which it claimed took place at Wheat Baker in Lagos, Nigeria strictly by invitation.
What a lot of people did not know was that Alhaji Aliko Dangote was chosen carefully as  the winner because of the desire by the company to use the award event to “milk-him”dry as they were losing a lot of money to Paedia Express  onslaught  via the social media.
It was for this same reason ,a back cover column was created so as to have Mr Debo Adeshina ,say good things to make the public happy on Mondays.
This would equally afford him and The Guardian Newspapers to repair there battered image ,though the page actually runs from Mondays to Fridays every week.
On the May,23rd,2016,Mr Debo Adeshina literarily went berserk as he went haywire in his Monday column,on the 4th column, paragraph three,page 64 back cover of The Guardian Newspapers ,he called  the social media commentary of this reporter as akinned to Sambisa Forest.
His Words:”in the best of climes ,the social media with all of its titillating attributes of instant information ,entertainment and commentaries is often times not an introspective ,engaging platform of ideas”
“in Nigeria,the situation is worse,the social media landscape here is not too different from Sambissa Forest ,a jungle in which all sorts of nincompoops roam freely with so much scum swirling in their skulls”
“Decency of conduct  is alien, the language is cruel,uncouth,cynical and spiteful,in the worst of English and humanity is given little or no consideration”
“that is the breeding ground for the insinuations and cruel innuendoes about the girls who were found near the insurgents  stronghold last week”
“The suggestions that locating Amina and Sarah was stage managed for a positive outcome for the Buhari regime is an insult to the President,the height of insensitivity to the anguished parents of the Chibok girls and a mockery of the collective agony of Nigerians,not to talk of sympathizers across the globe”
An elderly psychologist  speaks:”Adeku,you will never be a member of Boko Haram in Jesus name”
“The man ,Debo Adeshina is evidently afraid and ashamed of all of his actions towards you in the past which has now being exposed to the whole world and this is why he is feeling terrorized”
“It is clear case of envy  and jealousy ,to think that a man can use a situation in which a lot of people commented to use as a way of attacking you”
“That he did not mention your names at all shows the level of fear”he added.
“The insult he has thrown at you are no germane ,it is fake and nobody will believe him at all  with the level of evidence stashed up against him”
“He is just trying to buy himself some importance,do not be surprised  that he can deny insulting you under a legal situation as he never mentioned your names in the article”
On the 28 of May,2016,this reporter spotted in the days newspapers  officials of the Newspapers Proprietors of Association of Nigeria [N.P.A.N] at the Presidential Villa but conspicuously absent was Lady Maiden Ibru who ordinarily should have wanted to use the event to make a brand statement considering the group’s recent mileage  but instead her son,Mr Toke Ibru,the Group Executive Director of the dubious brand represented her .
It is strongly believed that the disgraced publisher ran away from  Aso Rock Villa because of th fear and shame associated with her stupid actions to retain professionally incompetent twats in her firm against every form of conventional wisdom.
In the pictures of the N.P.A.N meeting at the Presidential villa,Mr Azubuike Ishiekwene ,another Editor who should be in jail by now for fraud was seen ducking behind one of his colleagues for fear of the discovery and leakage of his past shenanigans by Paedia Express in its reportage.
Checks also showed that when N.P.A.N officials  met earlier on with the Minister for Information ,Alhaji Lai Mohammed ,Mrs Ibru was also absent as well.

A source critized Mrs Ibru for been a very big crook by her decisions to retain all the crooks in her midst .thus raising questions about her own moral strength.

RED HOT!WAR INSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE


There is serious tension in the British monarchy as at press time as a royal scandal is threatening to destroy the house with a chequered history.

Since 2015,there have been kites flown even on social media about the Queen’s Health but it would appear that this time it is about the heir to the throne,Prince Williams ,with reports suggesting that the father of Two and Kate Middleton’s adorable husband was not actually sired by Prince Charles as initially thought.

In the last twenty four hours reports of Queen Elizabeth scolding Prince Williams has gone viral via Yahoo News thus fueling suggestions that the report was actually true.

The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia initially got whiff of the information via the African Royal Majesty magazine in Nigeria ,with the latter culling it from the World news daily report as trouble looms with Canadian journalist,Francois Bugingo insisting that Prince Williams was his son conceived in secrecy by Princess Diana after a serious roll in the hay secretly as lovers

EXPOSED!!!! IRAQ:MAN WITH BAGHDAD LOOT IN LAGOS

EXPOSED!!!!
IRAQ:MAN WITH BAGHDAD LOOT IN LAGOS
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU AND DEXTER FILKINS
BAGHDAD WAS SERIOUSLY LOOTED IN THE HOURS AFTER THE FALL OF SADDAM,AMERICAN SOLDIERS TAKING CONTROL OF COMMAND IN THIS SHOT
courtesy:Google 
A Nigerian whose identity is now under wraps on account of the security implications but who is closely linked to the massive looting of Iraq during  the regime of Saddam Hussein is believed to be at the moment cooling off in Lagos,Nigeria or so we now believe.
In a world exclusive investigations by The News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos,Nigeria ,it was discovered that the Nigerian once an errand boy in The Presidential Palace in Baghdad,Iraq is currently having a ball on  a daily basis in high brow Victoria Island I Lagos,Nigeria on account of his deep pockets.
An impeccable source said that the Nigerian is  believed to have been an aide working privately in the employ of the deceased Iraqi leader…
In January,2016,he was believed to have thrown a big ,wild and raunchy swimming pool gig at his private but posh home in Victoria Island ,Lagos,Nigeria.
The source explained that some of the girls that took part in the poolside party came from overseas.
The source while describing the gig affirmed that the controversial businessman spared no expense as he spent very big cash to send tongues really wagging.
According to the source ,assorted winery used by the celebrant to entertain his guests at the once-in-life-time party continued to be a talk of the town till date from those who were privileged to be in the guest list.
The source however pointed out that the residence of the billionaire tycoon has an aerial car park aside from its being built in a way that the building will not attract the attention of the general public.
·         IN a related issue,In the hours before American bombs began falling on the Iraqi capital in 2003, one of President Saddam Hussein's sons and a close adviser carried off nearly $1 billion in cash from the country's Central Bank , according to American and Iraqi officials here.
The removal of the money, which would amount to one of the largest bank robberies in history, was performed under the direct orders of Mr. Hussein, according to an Iraqi official with knowledge of the incident. The official, who asked not to be identified, said that no financial rationale had been offered for removing the money from the bank's vaults, and that no one had been told where the money would be taken.
"When you get an order from Saddam Hussein, you do not discuss it," said the Iraqi official, who held a senior position in a bank under Mr. Hussein's government. He said he had been told about the seizure of the cash by the Iraqi financial officials who had turned over the money to Mr. Hussein's son and the adviser.
The allegations provide a glimpse into the final days of Mr. Hussein's rule — which, with its emphasis on family connections, has been compared to the mafia — and perhaps a clue about how he intended to finance his escape and survive out of power.
Qusay Saddam Hussein, Mr. Hussein's second son, presided over the seizure of the money, along with Abid al-Hamid Mahmood, the president's personal assistant, the Iraqi official here said. The seizure took place at 4 a.m. on March 18, just hours before the first American air assault.
The two men carried a letter from the president, bearing his signature, authorizing the removal of the money, the official said.
The sheer volume of the cash was so great — some $900 million in American $100 bills and as much as $100 million worth of euros — that three tractor-trailers were needed to cart it off, the Iraqi official said. It took a team of workers two hours to load up the cash. Their work was completed before employees of the downtown Baghdad bank arrived for work.
The seizure of the money was confirmed by a United States Treasury official assigned to work with Iraqi financial officers here to rebuild the country's banking and financial system.
Iraqi officials said they were uncertain of the effects that the disappearance of $1 billion would have on the Iraqi economy. The Iraqi official said the removal of the money amounted to about a quarter of the Central Bank's hard currency reserves.
The billion dollars is nearly twice the amount of hard currency believed to have been looted by Iraqis in the three weeks after the collapse of the Iraqi government. American and Iraqi officials said about $400 million in American dollars and at least $40 million in Iraqi currency were taken by looters from banks across the country after April 9.
The disappearance of such a sizable amount of cash as $1 billion is giving rise to fears here that it is being used to finance remnants of Mr. Hussein's government, many of whose senior members are believed to be hiding in Baghdad or its environs.
Some members of the Iraqi National Congress, an umbrella organization for groups that opposed Mr. Hussein, assert that the money may be a central element in what they described as an extensive "post-occupation strategy" devised by Mr. Hussein that envisioned an American takeover of the capital and his eventual return to power.
Neither Iraqi nor American officials claimed to know the whereabouts of the $1 billion or, for that matter, of Saddam Hussein, Qusay Hussein or Mr. Mahmood. All three men are being sought by the United States.
The Iraqi official insisted on anonymity because, he said, he feared that he could fall victim to Mr. Hussein or one of his associates who remain at large.
Some Americans suspect that the money may have been spirited across the border into Syria, in much the same way some senior officials in Mr. Hussein's government are believed to have fled Iraq.
Col. Ted Seel, a United States Army Special Forces officer who said he was aware of the seizure of money from the Central Bank, said intelligence information at the time indicated that a group of tractor-trailers crossed the Iraqi border into Syria. Colonel Seel, who is assigned to the Iraqi National Congress, said the trucks' contents were unknown.
Mr. Hussein held near-absolute power in his government, and so, in a sense, it is unclear what laws might have been violated by the cash seizure. But the Iraqi bank official said the country's banks had been largely left alone during Mr. Hussein's years in power. He said the president and his family would sometimes demand cash from Iraqi banks but not in the amounts said to have been taken on March 18.
"Sometimes they would come in for small amounts, maybe $5 million," the official said.
In the case of the $1 billion, the official said Qusay Hussein and Mr. Mahmood had brought five Iraqi officials with them to the bank: the director of the Central Bank, the Iraqi finance minister and the director of the Iraqi treasury. The only others present, he said, were workers to load the money and the drivers of the trucks.
The Iraqi official, as well as others in Baghdad, said the former Iraqi finance minister, identified as Hekmet al-Azawi, was in American custody.
George Mullinax, an official with the Treasury Department, said the money had been taken by "Saddam Hussein's people." He put the figure taken at about $900 million.
"If you had $900 million dollars, you would need two or three flatbed trucks to carry it all away," he said.
Mr. Mullinax said it was possible that a large chunk of the money had already been recovered. He said the roughly $650 million in American $100 bills discovered by an American sergeant in one of Mr. Hussein's palaces last month might be from the Central Bank. He said that had not been determined for certain.
The Iraqi official, however, said the $650 million certainly belonged to Mr. Hussein's eldest son, Uday, who, he said, was known for hoarding vast stores of personal cash. "That was Uday's money," he said.
American and Iraqi officials have recovered other large sums of cash since the fall of the Hussein government. Last month, Iraqi bank officials, with the help of American soldiers, recovered an armored car loaded with about $250 million in American currency.
Dhia Habib al-Khyoun, chairman of Rafidain Bank, one of Iraq's largest, said the $250 million had been gathered into the armored car from branch banks around the country.
While it was unclear for what purpose the $1 billion was taken, it seems clear that Mr. Hussein took steps in the dying days of his government to safeguard at least some of its money.
In early March, Mr. Khyoun said, he was ordered to disburse the Rafidain's Bank hard currency deposits to branches around Baghdad. He said the goal was to safeguard some hard currency in case the headquarters of the bank was bombed.
Mr. Mullinax, the Treasury official, said he believed that the Central Bank's vaults had not been opened since the beginning of the war. But the Iraqi official said some 18 billion Iraqi dinars, or about $9 million, had been taken by looters from the bank.

American troops have since sealed off the area around the Central Bank and have barred entry to all but its employees.

SUSPECTED FAKE VACCINE USED FOR 2016 ANTI-MEASLES CAMPAIGN




SUSPECTED FAKE VACCINE USED FOR 2016 ANTI-MEASLES
CAMPAIGN
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU..
Officials of The Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health in Abuja are now at a loss as to how to evade
Paedia Express Multimedia’s enquiries on the usage of  fake vaccine on children in 2016 during the anti-measles campaign.
In a world exclusive investigations by The News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos, Nigeria ,it was discovered exclusively through  the Chief Medical Director of a private hospital [names  with held]in Lagos  and a personal friend  of this reporter of how several children started  to develop  rashes and react indiscriminately after the vaccines were administered on them early this year.
An impeccable source while discussing the issue of urgent national action with this reporter lamented that the country only ever get to react to an issue whenever a serious damage had being done especially to highly placed Nigerian .
He noted that he was aware that at least nine children developed serious ailments due to the fake vaccine aside from complaints from various quarters around Lagos State.
According to him ,the epidemiological unit of the  State Ministry of Health  was fully aware of the incident but the source will not know to what extent they have gone on its investigations and its findings as at press time.
The source explained that the B.C.G. vaccine used for children to fight tuberculosis was actually a bacteria strain of the same causative agent which was isolated synthetically and then re-introduced into the body so that it can prevent any future attack of tuberculosis after providing the body with ant-bodies.
The medical doctor insisted that until a thorough medical enquiry backed up with an evidence ,it will be difficult for him at this stage to make a statement on the controversial vaccine
He paid tributes to the health of seasoned psychiatric patients whose body immune and defense systems are so strong that they almost do not fall sick unlike the normal healthy human being, saying this was simply because the former have the right quantity and quality of anti-bodies to fight any form of foreign invader.
When this  reporter enquired from a health official at the Ifako-Ijaiye Health Centre in Ajilete Area of Ifako –Ijaiye in Lagos State, he was informed that though there were bureaucratic documentations to be filed if there were complaints made by patients but fortunately there was no form of complains recorded .
On the 16th of March,2016,the consumers Protection Council drew the attention of the entire world to factors stimulating antibiotics resistance.
The agency’s Director General ,Mrs Dupe Atoki while addressing a cross section of the press explained to the gathering that due to anti-biotic resistance that was very much in vogue in Nigeria there was medical intervention procedures such as organ transplants, surgeries and other forms of treatment that requires a follow up with antibiotics to ensure a patient full recovery.
On the 18 of March,2016,at the Ifako –Ijaiye Local Government Area organized road show to boost the National Immunization programme on polio project ,The Primary Health Coordinator in the area ,Dr Oladapo Asiyanbi while answering questions from a cross section of the press told Paedia Express Multimedia at Pen Cinema area of Agege,Lagos  said that there was no cause for alarm.

“They will have to deny so as to save  their faces from shame but I know that I saw something”he added
