After Admitting He Had 250,000 Pairs Of Glasses, Elton John Goes Glass Shopping

He previously admitted he owns 250,000 pairs of glasses but for Sir Elton John that just isn't enough.

The 67-year-old singer/songwriter was spotted shopping at LA Eyeworks in Los Angeles where he tried on numerous colourful pairs before making his purchase.

Back in 2010, Elton told BBC Radio:' I don't have a iPod or a mobile phone or a computer. I do have a quarter of a million pairs of glasses but I don't even have a mobile phone! If people want to get hold of me they can.'

Elton and his glasses often hit the headlines and in 2013 he was forced to deny claims he had hired a separate hotel room in which to store his spectacles.

The star was on a four show tour of the South American country celebrating 40 years of his Rocket Man album.

And according to Brazil's Pampulha newspaper, the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road singer told gig organisers in Belo Horizonte, south east Brazil, to reserve an extra room for his glasses collection.

Lagos Blasts PDP For Hiring 100,000 People To Post Illegal GEJ Posters

Lagos Blasts PDP For Hiring 100,000 People For Dirty Campaign Jobs.
Lagos Orders Immediate Removal Of Illegal Jonathan Campaign Posters
The Lagos State Government has ordered the Transformation Ambassador of Nigeria (TAN) and its affiliates to immediately remove all President Goodluck Jonathan campaign materials illegally deployed on street lamp poles in Lagos.

The government said if TAN failed to heed the order, its enforcement team would remove the posters in line with the enabling law setting up the Lagos State and Advertising Agency, LASAA.
At a news conference in Ikeja, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Wednesday, Managing Director, LASAA, George
Noah, said the agency was constrained by recent developments in the electioneering campaign in Lagos to bring to the fore impunity and illegality that posed immeasurable and long term damage to those who erect, operate and maintain billboards in the state.
Noah said the agency had been informed that in the last 48 hours, two advertisers in the outdoor sector had terminated multi-million naira contracts with outdoor agencies registered by LASAA to operate in the state.
He stated that the contracts had been terminated as a result of the parallel and illegal deployment of Jonathan campaign materials on poles paid for by these advertisers.
“The two advertisers in question are Chinese Telecoms firm, Huawei and Globacom and the outdoor agencies affected are Touch Point Limited and Clearedge Limited. Both agencies have lost a whooping N350 million.
“The illegal and brazen act by agents of the PDP is unjust, inconsiderate and therefore unacceptable at a time outdoor advertising is facing stiff competition from television, radio and social media
“The illegal act by the agents of the PDP is capable of destroying outdoor agencies in our State. It will almost certainly leads to lay-off of workers and loss of revenue for our stakeholders,”he stated.
Noah added that in line with the agency’s statutory functions to regulate and control outdoor in Lagos,
“LASAA hereby directs the Transformation Ambassador of Nigeria and its affiliates to remove all campaign materials illegally deployed on street lamp poles in Lagos State immediately, failing which our enforcement team will remove same in line with the enabling law setting up LASAA.”
He also alleged that the PDP agents had been removing the advert materials of Glo on poles which the telecom company paid for, to replace them with Jonathan’s posters.
Noah further alleged that the PDP and TAN had deployed policemen wherever these impunities were taken place to give them cover and safeguard their illegal act, adding that the police authorities had withdrawn the policemen attached to the agency to assist it in enforcing illegality in the outdoor industry.
“What they have done is to withdraw the policemen attached to us. They are using the police to fester an illegal act. They are coming to Lagos to disrupt the outdoor business worth about N50 billion and employs about 100,000 people. They have transferred all sorts of people to Lagos state to do their dirty jobs. It is one illegality gone too far,”he said.

Aregbesola planning to disrupt tribunal sitting – Omisore

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, has accused the Osun State governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, of planning to use political thugs to prevent the Election Petitions Tribunal hearing matters arising from August 9 Osun governorship election from sitting on Friday (tomorrow).
Omisore’s media aide, Mr. Victor Oriola, said this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Wednesday.
The panel has shifted the adoption of written addresses by the parties involved in the case from January 28 to Friday, January 23.

Omisore claimed that Aregbesola had concluded plans to use “state boys” to pose as members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria to prevent the parties in the suit from adopting their addresses on the adjourned date.
The statement read, “Series of meetings have been held in Osogbo by a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress with the state standing army codenamed “state boys” to scuttle the process.
“The mode of operation is for the “state boys” to pose as JUSUN members and prevent the tribunal members and lawyers from gaining access to the court premises on Friday.
“This is one of the latest in the series of assaults on the judiciary by Governor Rauf Aregbesola, who has come to his wits end after his witnesses failed woefully to defend the case of massive rigging preferred against him after the August 9 gubernatorial election by Senator Iyiola Omisore.
“While we sympathise with JUSUN members for the delay in implementing the autonomy for the judiciary workers by the state governors across the country, which necessitated the strike action, we also want to appeal to JUSUN not to allow its members to be dragged into partisan politics.”
However, the governor on Wednesday debunked the allegation levelled against him Omisore.
Aregbesola, in a statement made available to our correspondent by his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, described the alarm raised by the opposition as an attempt to divert attention from the crime they wanted to perpetrate.
He said, “We must view this as an alert to all security agencies to watch out for the PDP and its army of thugs who obviously must have concluded their plans to cause mayhem in the state. It is therefore pertinent for the security agents to be prepared to arrest anybody who causes any breach of the peace in the state under whatever guise.
“The first reasonable question that the PDP and its leaders must be asked is to produce any evidence of their imaginary plot by Aregbesola, aides or any of his associates.
“To all right-thinking people, is it logical for a sitting governor to cause mayhem in his territory where he has restored and maintained peace in the last four years and more in order to engender development?
“Nigerians know the PDP for what it is: a bunch of political rascals always calculating on the next issue it can manipulate to confuse and hoodwink the people. But it is gratifying to know that Nigerians are wiser than PDP’s antics and are therefore ready always to condemn their puerile allegations into the dustbins.”

Buhari liable for Katsina attack on Jonathan —PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party has said that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), is liable for Tuesday’s attack on the convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan in Katsina. The PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation said it would hold Buhari responsible if anything should happen to Jonathan in the course of the electioneering while PDP spokesperson, Olisa Metuh said the party would no longer tolerate such acts of violence on any of its members Both Metuh, the publicity secretary of the PDP, and Femi Fani-Kayode, the director of media and publicity of the PDP campaign organisation, on Wednesday reacted to the Katsina incident. Fani-Kayode, at a press briefing in Abuja, said, “Let us take this opportunity to also serve them (APC) notice that if anything untoward happens to our candidate or his supporters during the course of this campaign we shall hold Buhari and his party responsible and the consequences would be grave, unimaginable and far-reaching.” Fani-Kayode alleged that a group of broom-wielding vandals, chanting “sai Buhari”, hurled stones at the convoy of the President and that but for the gallant efforts of the security personnel, “this small group of violent vandals would have harmed the President and caused damage to the vehicles in his convoy.” He said it was regrettable that the stoning occurred in Katsina, the home state of Buhari, and reminded Nigerians that the APC presidential candidate had visited Bayelsa State, where President Jonathan hails from and that while there, Buhari was not molested. He described the action of the APC supporters in Katsina State as “despicable, barbaric, shameful and highly reprehensible.” Metuh, in a statement in Abuja, said the attack was “a clear indication that the APC is not ready to dial back on its rabid desire to attain power through violence despite signing a peace pact a week ago in Abuja”. He said, “This brazen attack on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and our presidential candidate clearly showed that the APC was never committed to the spirit and letters of the Abuja peace accord which they signed in the presence of prominent Nigerians and international personalities. “It is unfortunate that while the PDP and other parties are busy ensuring that their members and supporters remain committed to a peaceful electioneering, the APC has been hatching plots to unleash violence on our candidates and members. “We invite Nigerians, friends of Nigeria and all lovers of democracy to rise in condemnation of this dangerous phenomenon. These early developments clearly demonstrate that the comments and declarations by the leaders of the APC that Nigeria would be thrown into chaos and bloodshed should it lose the February general elections were real.” Metuh commended the maturity and the peaceful disposition of President Jonathan and the leaders of the PDP even in the face of provocation. He said, “The irony which we wish to place on record is that the APC, which has successfully completed its campaigns in the South-South, including Bayelsa, the home state of President Jonathan, without any incident and has even signed a pact to maintain peace, is turning round to unleash thugs to disrupt the presidential campaign of our party. “In spite of this, we wish to assure Nigerians of the iron cast resolve of the PDP to ensure peaceful and credible general elections where the votes of the people shall exclusively determine who emerge as leaders in the general elections” Meanwhile, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, has said his group would respond appropriately to the attack on Jonathan’s convoy in Katsina State. Dokubo-Asari, in Abuja on Wednesday, said members of his group were putting the world on notice because the Katsina youths chose to attack the President’s convoy as he was leaving a campaign venue. He said, “There is an established pattern of pre- and post-election violence in the north. In the 50s when late (Chief Obafemi) Awolowo was campaigning in the north, he went with helicopters and he was mocked. “People said he was flying over the houses and peeping on their wives. That has continued and everywhere in the country, people say leave them alone. We don’t want any trouble. But I think the game has changed. The rules of the game have changed. “For every action, there will be an opposite and equal reaction. I knew that the signing of the accord was useless and that the President subjected himself to sign such an accord. For me, it was out of place for a President and Commander- in- Chief of the armed forces of a country. But the President is a humble person. He does things that even marvel some of us and make us sometimes to be very angry.” SOURCE - See more at: http://www.naijaolofofo.com/buhari-liable-katsina-attack-jonathan-pdp/#sthash.Xi5Il5jh.dpuf

How We Steal Cars In Lagos, Sell in Cotonou - Suspects Opens Up

Four suspected car snatchers, who are now in the custody of the Lagos State Police Command, have explained how they snatched expensive vehicles in different areas of the state and sold them to buyers in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

The suspects are Raoul Dedavi, Bright Ekeocha, Aziza Akobu and Adebayo Peter.
According to the police, Dedavi, a Beninoise car dealer who is based in Cotonou, is one of the the alleged receivers of the vehicles stolen by the gang.

Our correspondent learnt that information had reached the Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti, about the gang’s activities, and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad Commander, SP Abba Kyari, was directed to apprehend the gang members.

Punch Metro gathered that the suspects, except Dedavi, were arrested on January 5 at about 5pm in the Ojodu Berger area of Lagos.

The suspects were said to have confessed that they delivered the stolen vehicles to Dedavi in Cotonou, who allegedly sold them and shared the money.

A few days later, the SARS reportedly apprehended Dedavi from his hideout in Cotonou, and also recovered a stolen Toyota Venza at the scene.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro, the 45-year-old Benin national explained the gang’s mode of operation.

Dedavi added that he had worked with different gangs to steal cars in Lagos, and sell them in Cotonou since 2012.

He said, “I work as a car dealer in Cotonou where I also live. I did not start selling stolen vehicles, but in 2012, I met some Lagos-based robbers who began to bring stolen vehicles across the border for me to sell.

“The deal is that they steal and bring the vehicles, while I sell and give them their share. I don’t sell such vehicles to Nigerians. I sell them to other West African countries. In 2013, I got six stolen vehicles from Lagos. In 2014, I got three. It was Peter (Adebayo) that I knew first among this gang. He came to buy second-hand clothes in my place.

“He told me the gang had a stolen Toyota Venza to sell and they brought it. I gave them N1.5m. my plan was to sell it for N2m or more. I did not know that the police were on the trail of that car. They spent about five days in my area, monitoring me before they were able to arrest me. I went into all this because of greed. I am very repentant now.”

Ekeocha, 25, from Owerri North, Imo State, said he disguised as a buyer while Akobu disguised as a technician during which they stole the Toyota Venza from their victim.

He said, “Apart from Dedavi, there are other receivers of stolen vehicles which our gang used. When we stole one Lexus jeep and sold it, I made about N200,000. I pretended to be a buyer while Aziza (Akobu) pretended to be a technician and I went to our victim’s sales office because he was a car dealer too.

“When he brought out the vehicle for us to test-drive, we fled with it. The vehicle was stolen on December 18, 2014, and it was with us till December 29 when we then took it Alhaji Cotonou (Dedavi).”

Akobu, 23, from Orlu, Imo State and 38-year-old Peter from Modakeke, Osun State, added that they were expecting N300,000 each as their share before the police rounded them up.

The Lagos State Police spokesperson, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the arrest, adding that investigation continued on the matter at the SARS.

He said, “The owner of the Toyota Venza is one Thomas Nwaonicha, who is a car dealer at Kilometer 52, Lagos-Ibadan Expresssway. He initially reported the matter at the Area H Command, Ogudu.

“The police were able to locate the suspects, who have also confessed to the crime. The case is under investigation at the SARS, Ikeja.”
