 LASG SHUTS OKO-OBA ABATTOIR OVER  UNSANITARY ACTIVITIES, WASTE MISMANAGEMENT The Lagos State Government on Thursday announced the shutting down of the Oko-Oba Abbatoir over unsanitary activities, waste mismanagement and unhygenic handling of animal products.  The directive was given by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, after an extensive inspection tour with the media to the Abattoir at Oko-Oba in Agege informing that the Ministry received a petition from the Ministry of Agriculture to intervene as regards various environmental and health infractions going on at the abattoir.  According to him, what was witnessed at the abattoir today is heart-wrenching; the operators have defied and chosen to take the laws into their hands as they slaughter animals and discharge the waste into the public drainage system with impunity, and this is unacceptable.

 The ongoing Beckham family saga has taken another dramatic turn, with new allegations emerging about money, property ownership, and parenting philosophies that could rival any soap opera storyline.  According to recent reports, Nicola Peltz's family has accused David and Victoria Beckham of being "tight" with their finances when it comes to supporting their eldest son Brooklyn. The controversy centers around the couple's recent £11 million Hollywood mansion purchase, which sources claim was primarily funded by Nicola's trust fund rather than the Beckham family wealth.  The Daily Mail reports that Nelson Peltz, Nicola's billionaire father worth $1.6 billion, had to sign off on releasing funds from his daughter's trust fund to purchase the property. This has apparently led to accusations that the Beckhams aren't adequately providing for Brooklyn, with sources suggesting the family "cuts their children off financially" when they turn 18.  Howev...
