Lagos State government has prohibited live band music at various beer parlours and restaurants. The government also told religious leaders to soundproof worship centres to minimise the effect of noise generated on the residents.

Shabi said some of the structures were located in places without the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) which would enable government plan for the area or possibly p...

Footballers react to Joshua's KO win Mauricio Pochettino's side are four points behind leaders Chelsea at the top of the table, having amassed a club record of 74 points this season. A victory over Arsenal in Sunday's north London derby will guarantee that Spurs will finish above the Gunners in the top flight for the first time since the 1994-95 season and inflict a damaging blow on their rivals' hopes of a top-four finish. Kane, however, says their priority is on closing the gap to Chelsea and keeping their title hopes intact. "For the fans, it would be great to finish above Arsenal and actually do it by winning against them but, from our point of view, we've got bigger things to look forward to," he said. "We've got to try and win that game to keep the pressure on Chelsea as much as we...

Our agony aunt Mary Fenwick offers words of wisdom to help with whatever is troubling you Q.  After much heartache, I told my husband that  I was unhappy  and thought that we should separate. I am 34; he is 49. He is a good man, but I feel as if I am living his life with little determination of my own choices, or influence in the relationship.

The question is for your husband: does he want to be in a relationship with yo...
