A Chicago housing official shocked attendees at a crucial meeting by making an inappropriate personal remark. Francine Washington, a member of the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), reportedly stated in front of colleagues that she was in “dire need of sex” and needed to “get laid.” This incident led to an investigation by the Office of the Inspector General, which confirmed that Washington had a sexually graphic conversation in the presence of other agency staff. The report further noted that Washington was critical of an attorney’s response to a union representative and described the reaction as stemming from “white privilege.” Interim Board Chair Matthew Brewer later met with Washington, and according to the report, she committed to refraining from such behavior in the future. While Washington acknowledged the meeting with Brewer, she said she couldn’t recall the specifics of their conversation. Washington believes the incident was reported by a human resources manager who may have been frustrated with her persistent questioning of agency operations. “All the board members know me,” she said. “I don’t change with the weather. I love being a public housing resident and I love my residents. I would never do anything to hurt the residents or the authority.” Appointed to the CHA Board of Commissioners in 2014, Washington also serves as President of the Central Advisory Council and the Washington Park Local Advisory Committee. She is involved in several other prominent boards and committees. The Inspector General’s report revealed a lack of a formal sexual harassment policy within the CHA and recommended that such a policy be developed. In response, Brewer agreed with the report’s recommendations, noting that commissioners already undergo annual ethics and sexual harassment training. The CHA stated that it is committed to maintaining a culture of respect and accountability and emphasized that while it cannot comment on specific personnel matters, it takes all allegations of misconduct seriously.

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has predicted a wave of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, citing dissatisfaction with the party’s performance at the state level. NNPP’s spokesperson, Adetayo Alabi, said the ruling PDP has failed to meet the expectations of residents, prompting party members to seek alternative platforms. Alabi stated that the defections witnessed in recent weeks are just the beginning, as many PDP loyalists are growing disillusioned with what he described as the government’s inability to deliver on its campaign promises. He added that the NNPP is gaining traction as a viable opposition in the state, ready to offer better governance and accountability. He emphasized that the NNPP remains open to accommodating new members who share the vision of a progressive and inclusive Osun State. According to him, the party has embarked on grassroots mobilization to strengthen its presence across all local government areas ahead of the next general elections. The NNPP called on residents of Osun to hold their leaders accountable and to consider alternative political platforms that prioritize development, transparency, and the welfare of citizens. Alabi expressed confidence that the NNPP will emerge as a formidable force in the state’s political landscape.

I just drove pass ikate heading to V.I. I saw one girl across the road looking frustrated so I decide to ask her what’s up. She said she’s going to Eko hotel but she lost her money. I can see the tag of the mall she worked for and she look so decent. She spoke so softly .Told her to hop in, as we are getting along then she said I can have her for the night that she do coded hook up short time 15k, and all night 25k. I asked her to get down of my car immediately. Imagine doing 9 to 5 job and still add hookup ontop. Omo, Like wtf!
