Gucci Ferragamo shows a different side of the  #MTVMAMA2015 and #MTVMAMA2016 “Best Female” winner and is expected to be housed on Miss Alade’s untitled third studio album; alongside her EDM smash “Want You” and emotive duet “Get Through This” with Mi Casa. 
 
Miss Alade’s vocals glides from happy to threatening and demeaning as she delivers a sound, aggressive and vivid afro-pop number; about a common story of a girl who just found her sexuality in many a neighborhood gist.

An angry mob vandalised a mass transit bus (LAGBUS) belonging to the LAGBUS Assets Management Limited for allegedly crushing a five-year-old girl to death, and injuring another pedestrian.The incident occured at the Otto bus stop, in the Oyingbo area of Lagos State . 
 
PUNCH Metro learnt that the mob, which smashed the side glasses of the BRT and damaged the front windscreen with stones. 
 
It was gathered that at about 12pm on Friday, a woman and the schoolgirl, whose name had yet to be known, were walking on the pedestrian side of the Oyingbo-Otto Road, when the LAGBUS driver hit them. 
 
The five-year-old&#8217;s legs were said to have been smashed, while another male pedestrian, said to be an okada (motorcycle) rider, was injured.The girl was reportedly rushed to a nearby hospital where she was confirmed dead. 
 
A police source told PUNCH Metro that the driver fled immediately he heard that the victim died in 
the hospital. He added that some of the youths wanted to set the bus ablaze, but were stopped by the police.He said,

The woman was the mother of the girl, and they were returning from the school. The LAGBUS hit them at the junction and also hit an okada rider. The police got information that there was commotion in the area, and that some youths might resort to violence, so we moved in and the bus was towed away. The driver is at large.&#8221; 
At the scene of the accident, PUNCH Metro gathered that the okada rider had hit his head on the ground and bled for a while before he was stabilised by Good Samaritans. 
 
A bus driver, who gave his name only as Wasiu, and claimed to be an eyewitness, said the LAGBUS driver disappeared when he got to know that the girl had died. 
 
&#8220;The girl was about five years old. She was being taken home by her mother. We do not know her name. The bus hit them at the pedestrian side. The girl was badly injured. The driver of the LAGBUS initially came down and helped in rushing the girl to a hospital. It was in that process that some youths vandalised the bus. It was when the driver learnt that the girl had died that he fled. 
&#8220;The other man was bleeding all over. He would have died too, but for the first aid given by the people staying around the scene.&#8221;

Ken Saro-Wiwa's memorial art bus seized by Nigeria Customs - Photo.

A sculpture created as a memorial to Nigerian environmentalist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists has been denied entry into Nigeria, where it had been sent as a gift to mark the 20th anniversary of their execution by the military government. 
 
Customs officials impounded Sokari Douglas Camp’s sculpture, in the form of a steel bus, when it arrived at Lagos port on 8 September, on grounds of its “political value”. Leaflets and reports sent by courier to commemorate Saro-Wiwa’s life and death were also seized. 
 
Subsequent efforts by the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, Social Action and other pressure groups have failed to secure the work’s release and a memorial vigil in Bori-Ogoni may have to go ahead without it. 
 
Celestine AkpoBari, national coordinator for the Ogoni Solidarity Forum-Nigeria, has spent the past two months working to secure the release of the sculpture, called The Bus - Living Memorial, from a secure area of Lagos port and remains determined to get it to Ogoniland, nine hours’ drive from Lagos, next week. 
 "I have been fortunate to see the bus in London but it will be so exciting to see it in Nigeria, I don’t know if I might faint," he told the Guardian. "It will give so much happiness and strength and every Ogoni will want to come home and see it. We are still looking forward to hearing the good news, we need the bus because it is the symbol of our struggle now that Ken is not with us. We will use the presence of the bus to begin another era of our campaign for justice." 
 
The Bus was commissioned following a competition to mark the 10th anniversary of the executions andfirst exhibited outside the Guardian's London offices in 2006. The artist described her work as a “spectacle” and symbol of the importance of transport to environmental debate. It was given to the Ogoni people by UK campaign group Platform, to show solidarity with them. 
 
The Bus spent four days at the bottom of the Thames in August, after it was dropped while being loaded on to a ship at the Port of Tilbury in Kent, and was repaired before leaving the UK for Lagos on 19 August. The plan was for it to make several stops in Nigeria en route to its final destination in Ogoniland.

Abuja AHEAD of the unveiling of names of chairmen and vice-chairmen of standing committees by Senate President, Bukola Saraki, tension has gripped the lawmakers over who heads the juicy committees. 
 
According to a source, ranking senators across party lines have vowed to resist any move to give them committees that are seen not to be powerful. 
At press time last night, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senators were said to be meeting at the residence of former Senate President, Senator David Mark, over the issue. 
 
It was gathered, yesterday, that those who had been fighting Saraki have vowed to continue with the fight, using the standing committees as a reason. 
Meanwhile, the leadership of the Senate were, yesterday night, putting finishing touches to the list. 
 
 
List to be unveiled tomorrow if… 
Barring any last-minute change, the Senate President will unveil the list tomorrow. 
Asked in a text message if the list was ready, a principal officer replied: “No, we may finish the final touches tonight (yesterday). 
 
The source said that the composition of the committees will help calm frayed nerves generated by the confirmation of former Rivers State Governor, Mr. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, last Thursday. 
 
PDP senators staged a walk-out from the plenary on Thursday during the confirmation of Amaechi following the All Progressives Congress, APC, senators’ decision to ignore their PDP colleagues. 
 
Committees now 64 
 
According to a source, as part of moves to ensure stability in the Senate, Saraki has increased the standing committees by eight, thereby moving it from 57 to 64. 
 
With this development, the Senate will be toeing the line of the House of Representatives which recently increased the number of its standing committees from 89 to 95. 
 
Vanguard gathered that Saraki’s inner caucus had agreed that for the Senate President to enjoy a stable reign, he must find ways to accommodate more senators as committee chairmen. 
 
A source told Vanguard that the Senate leadership, which had been working on the committee composition since August would round off, yesterday night, having agreed to increase the number of committees to 64. 
 
The source said that the Senate Selection Committee, made up of the Principal Officers, decided to increase the number of the standing committees to ensure stability in the 8th Senate. 
It was gathered that ranking senators have said that the 8th Senate might continue to witness turbulence following the emergence of the Senate Unity Forum, SUF, led by Senator Ahmed Lawan and Like Minds, headed by Senate President Saraki. 
 
Regional spread 
 
It was also gathered that the amended Senate Standing Rules 2015 prescribes equal committee chairmanship positions for each of the six geo-political zones of the country. 
 
This provision as contained in Section 3(iv) of the 2015 Senate Standing Orders, does not exist in 2011 edition used during the Seventh Senate. 
The implication of this is that the zones controlled by the PDP will chair almost the same number of committees with those controlled by the ruling APC. 
The section reads: “The appointment of senators as chairmen and members of committees shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the six geo-political zones of the country and there shall be no predominance of senators from a few geo-political zones.” 
 
This development is a deviation from the hitherto existing tradition in the Senate in which chairmanships of two committees – Public Accounts and Ethics and Privileges – were the only two committees reserved for the opposition.</div>
