Psquare’s House Locked Up Over Failure To Perform At A Show After Getting Paid, Their Security Guard Left Injured (Graphic Photo)

According to report, Lagos high court Sheriffs today stormed the music duo’s home with a court order to seize property following a judgement against them.
When the security men at P-Square’s home refused them entry, saying the brothers were not home, they allegedly forced their way in injuring one security guard.
Source revealed that many years ago there was a show in Benin that they were supposed to perform in. After they were paid N1million, the brothers arrived Benin for the show only to be told that the show had been postponed till the next day.
P-Square refused to stay till the next day and returned to Lagos. The organizer of the show demanded for his money back and when he didn’t get it, took the case to court. He got a court judgement and promptly moved to Lagos.
The source further said the case had been in court all this while but the brother’s weren’t really aware of it as no one represented them. It looks like judgement may have been passed in absentia, which brought the court Sheriffs to their home today. They tried to tow a vehicle after showing the papers brought from the court but no one would allow them take any car away.

GEOLOGY: THE FIELD REPORT ONE



CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Geology is a field oriented and field dependent discipline. It is not possible to appreciate the beauty of geology without a substantial portion of time being spent on the field activities. This help to better understand the theoretical background of geology provided in classroom. Geological field mapping exercise require detailed survey, sampling, identification, examination and interpretation of rock samples, fossils and minerals, and the production of valid report including the geological map of the area 
This presents the report of the intensive geological field mapping exercise covering Ogunmakin and environs between longitudes E 0030 45’ to 0030 50’ and latitudes N 070 10’ 30’’ to 070 13’ (Fig. 1.1) located on part of Ibadan sheet 281NE (on scale 1:100,000 topographical map), covering approximately 43 square kilometers. Some of the villages in area of study include Omi-Leragun, Omi-Fatokun, Fadipe, Bankole, Olonde, Sola, Seko, Dada, Onigbagbo, Abuku, Olubadan e.t.c. 
The geological field mapping exercise was carried out in these areas between the 30th of August, 2015 and 9th of September, 2015. Ogunmakin and  its environs lies within the Pre-Cambrian Basement Complex of southwestern Nigeria composed predominantly of migmatitic and granitic gneisses; quartzite; slightly migmatised to unmigmatised metasedimentary schist and metaigenous rocks; charnokitic, gabbroic and dioritic rocks; and the members of the Older granite suite mainly granites, granodiorites and syenites.

1.2   Objectives
The objectives of the field exercise include the following:
  • To identify the lithologic units in the study area.
  • To determine the relationships of various lithologic units present in the area.
  • To analyze the petrography of the rock samples.
  • To produce a detailed geological map of the study area.
  • To identify the structural features and determine their orientations.
 1.3       Location and Accessibility
The studied section located within coordinates longitudes E 0030 45’ to 0030 50’ and latitudes N 070 10’ 30’’ to 070 13’. Important settlements in the study area include Omi-Leragun, Omi-Fatokun, Fadipe, Bankole, Olonde, Sola, Seko, Dada, Onigbagbo, Abuku, Olubadan among others.
The area is also well accessible by networks of major and minor roads, as well as foot paths linking the villages together. This facilitates easy movement during the mapping exercise. Some of the footpaths have been upgraded to minor roads while new ones have also been created see (Fig.1.2). Figure 1.1 shows the sampling locations while Table 1.1 presents the geographical coordinates for the sample locations

1.4. Climate and vegetation
The area is characterized by rain forest; derived savannah (Fig. 1.3a). The rainy season and the dry season alternating each other are typical of the rain forest belt, including the study area. The rainy season starts in March/April and runs through September/October and with annual rainfall of 1000-1500mm (40-60 in). The dry season is between November and March with mean annual temperature of 210C-300C. These two seasons are caused by the moist maritime south western monsoon winds which blow on land from the Atlantic Ocean for the rainy season and dry dust laden winds which blow from the Sahara deserts for dry season (harmattan).
The dry season is usually marked with bright sunshine, the northeast trade winds known as the harmattan keeps the humidity/wetness extremely low, most vegetation remains dry and most of the rivers and streams in the area are dried up or at a relatively low energy level. However, the vegetation of the area have been cultivated into secondary forest type characterized by thick to light vegetation composed mainly of cultivated palm trees, teak, mango, cashew, etc. During cultivation and farming, the natural vegetation is mostly destroyed through bush burning. This has led to deforestation of the natural and cultivated trees. A pictorial view of the type of vegetation present in the area is shown in Figure 1.3b. Hence, this vegetation is made up of palm trees, timbers of all kinds, averagely tall, long grasses and resistant shrubs of various species.
Fig 1.3a: vegetation map of the study area
Fig. 1.3b:  Photograph showing the vegetation of the study area
1.5. Topography and Drainage
The studied area is characterized by moderate relief in some area while in some other area there is presence of flood plain relative to the hills around the area.  The major rock exposures are expressed as hills with the highest elevation being above 140m.
The drainage system is characterized by streams and rivers that flow from the northern end towards the southern end. Most of the rivers and streams are very dry during the period of this mapping exercise, this indicate that they are seasonal. The streams and rivers flow almost parallel to the strike of the rocks in the study area. This is an indication that they are structurally controlled. Their tributaries form a dendritic drainage pattern covering the study area (Fig. 1.4).
