 Today, as I celebrate my 61st birthday, my heart is incredibly full. For eight of these celebrations, I have had the rare privilege of serving as your Governor. It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve this extraordinary state and its people. The journey has been demanding, humbling and deeply rewarding. Leading a state as dynamic and energetic as Lagos is no small task. It has taught me more about resilience and patience than any other chapter in my life. I am filled with gratitude today, gratitude for life, for family, for health and for the enduring trust of Lagosians. Public service has its challenging days but the privilege of building a greater Lagos makes every single moment worth it. We have come a long way together yet the work never stops. As I celebrate today, my commitment to you remains as strong as ever. There is still more to do, more to build and more progress to achieve for everyone who calls this great state home. Thank you, Lagosians, for walki...

INDONESIA’S MOUNT LEWOTOBI LAKI LAKI ERUPTS AGAIN, SENDING MASSIVE ASH PLUMES MILES INTO THE SKY. (PHOTO).


 Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupts again, sending massive ash plumes miles into the sky

Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, erupted for a second consecutive day early Saturday, sending volcanic ash and debris soaring up to 18 kilometers (11 miles) into the sky and covering nearby villages. No injuries were reported immediately.

The volcano had also erupted Friday evening, releasing ash clouds reaching 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) and illuminating the night with glowing lava and lightning. Both eruptions occurred within a five-hour span.

Indonesia’s Geology Agency reported avalanches of hot gas, rocks, and lava rushing up to 5 kilometers (3 miles) down the mountain’s slopes. Drone footage revealed significant magma movement, triggering tremors detected by seismic monitors.

Volcanic fragments, including hot gravel the size of thumbs, were hurled as far as 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the crater, blanketing surrounding communities in thick ash. Authorities warned residents to remain alert for heavy rain, which could cause lava flows in rivers originating from the volcano.

Saturday’s eruption is among the largest in Indonesia since 2010, when Mount Merapi erupted on the populous island of Java, killing over 350 people and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate.

The recent activity follows a major eruption on July 7 that disrupted dozens of flights at Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport and covered roads and rice fields in mud and volcanic debris.

Lewotobi Laki Laki, standing 1,584 meters (5,197 feet) tall on the remote Flores island, has remained at the highest alert level since its June 18 eruption. The exclusion zone has been expanded to a 7-kilometer (4.3-mile) radius due to increasing volcanic activity.

Thousands of residents were permanently relocated after a series of eruptions last November claimed nine lives and destroyed thousands of homes.

Indonesia, home to more than 280 million people, lies along the “Ring of Fire,” a seismic hotspot with over 120 active volcanoes, making it prone to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
