“We understand that the lady and her son were unpacking a crate of patio slates from India. As they removed the last slab, they came across the snake.
“They managed to get it into a large biscuit tin but in the process the lady was bitten. The son immediately called for an ambulance and the woman was treated with anti-venom serum when she arrived at the hospital.

Anyone seeing one should not under any circumstances attempt to catch it. They should get in touch with the RSPCA on 810 234789 or call the police. There are two or three well-known snake experts in Sheffield who have worked with us and the police in the past. One of them now has the viper from Hawley Street.”

Ogun is losing it. Period!!! Lagos, Oyo and Ogun States are the only ones of the 6 states of the southwest completing the first term in a few days.  Lagos is commissioning projects to round off! I have lost count of both private-sector projects and government-inspired ones.  Oyo has done an investment summit in London and has commissioned an ultra-modern Lodge in Abuja.  Pray what is my beloved Ogun doing to round off the first term, nothing absolutely nothing.  Time was when the story was different, I have no recollection of any time in this democracy where Ogun was so uninspiring.  It is sobering and required all true-born, indigenes, residents, friends and lovers of Ogun State to not slip into indolence, to do so is to be guilty of aiding and supporting what will make the present handlers fall asleep on duty, I hate leaders who play to the gallery, and it seems that is what has become of us, there is no point crying over spilt milk, what we must p...
