“This is Lagos State. We don’t care about court orders” | See our top 10 quotes from the past week

Senator Dino Melaye has had the most stressful week of all but it definitely cannot compare with the kind of week that the survivors of the UK terror attack have had nor can it compare with the hardship that thousands of the now displaced residents of the Otodo Gbame fishing settlement in Lekki have suffered at the hands of the Lagos State Government.

As always, we had our ears to the ground listening through all of it just so we can bring you everything you absolutely must remember from the past week.

See our top ten quotes below:

“This is Lagos State. We don’t care about court orders; take it to the Governor.” 

The unbelievably distasteful response that the Lagos State Task Force officials and other security residents gave to the residents of Otodo Gbame fishing settlement in Lekki when they appeared to demolish their homes against court orders and without notice nor alternative shelter arrangements.

“Terrorism has no borders and no season.”

President Buhari in a letter to the British PM, Theresa May commiserated with the UK leader over the recent terror attack on Parliament while thanking the country for all it’s support to Nigeria in fighting Boko Haram.

“Sahara Reporters please sue me and ABU if it is true that I did not graduate from Zaria. Tell Magu to arrest me and prosecute me. SR you and your fake documents. I’m presently a student of ABU pursuing my 7th degree. Go round all the UNIS I attended in digging more. I can’t be cowed. Still waiting for Sahara to indict me. What happened to the foreign account you reported I have. Na una go tire. Will not be surprise if Sahara Reporters say I’m not a Nigerian. Shame!”

Senator Dino Melaye’s initial response to the allegations by Sahara Reporters that he did not meet the requirements to graduate from his Geography course at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

“We have checked our records and can find no evidence of Dino Melaye having any degree qualification from the London School of Economics and Political Science.”

Candy Gibson, a senior media relations officer at the London School of Economics and Political Science revealed mid-week despite the claims Dino Melaye had reportedly made about having a degree from the LSE and Havard.

“I see Sowore in befitting prison uniform”.

Senator Dino Melaye took to his social media on Friday to express his complete displeasure at the fact that Sahara Reporters have been behind the certificate scandal he’s had to endure all week. He has now filed a cyberstalking petition against Omoyele Sowore, the publisher in addition to his NGN 5 billion Naira suit.

“Many states have big problems. Almost all states have big problems. A lot of people don’t realise how good our bill was because they were only viewing Phase One. I think what will happen is ObamaCare, unfortunately, will explode. This year should be much worse for ObamaCare.”

President Donald Trump was quite the sore loser after his attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) failed to get the required votes in Congress yesterday.

“Today was a victory for the 24, 000, 000, people at risk of losing their health insurance, for senior, for families battling the quiet epidemic of addiction, for new moms and women everywhere. Most of all it’s a victory for anyone who believes affordable health care is a human right.”

Hillary Clinton‘s statement after the Trump’s GOP healthcare failure posted on her Twitter. It looks like she is starting to make a habit out of celebrating every Trump loss.

“Some people have been making overtures to me to join the APC, but I cannot join them. With what have they repaid somebody like Asiwaju Tinubu? He worked and helped the party to secure victory but has been dumped. That is not a party I would be interested in joining.”

-Governor Ayodele Fayose offered an explanation to Nigerians as to why he won’t join the ruling All Progressives Congress.

“I have always believed that political differences should be resolved outside the courts, but unfortunately we are already involved with it and gone up to the Supreme Court, but we are hopeful of a political solution. Party politics is supposed to be a family affair and ought to be resolved amicably without resorting to the courts.” 

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan seems like the only the PDP party member optimistic about an amicable solution to the raging internal party crisis.

“Governors of Lagos since 99 claim to be progrethieves -sorry progressive…”

Demola Rewaju started a very tricky conversation on twitter on Friday. It involved casting doubt on the value that the famed Lagos governors: Fashola, Ambode et al have added to Lagos State.
