so far, no one has answered the question of 'how a lay man can access its usefulness' or 'how he can personally benefit from it', as in the bus driver!, if you know well about, then go ahead-makes us know and understand, i believe this is a good thing to happen to Lagos, but it becomes a bad thing when only the top class ones can make use of it.period!

it's a gud thing sha but he should have done this longtime ago and not now that it is almost election time, i hope this is not another means of campaigning for second term ?

why cant we NLanders behave like civilized pple? go to other fora and u'll see what i mean. now first and foremost, not everybody is tech savvy, even in oyinbo land. like heck, a significant number of them dont even know how it works. thanks @paddylo for your contributions so far, @babapupa try and explain, not abuse. besides the only point u've made clear so far is that u are quick to insult pple. but like someone said, how are u going to explain the benefits to the market woman at oshodi?


YOU dont know these people, they purposly ask such questions to frustrate n make a mockery of you,thats all. They can answer some of these questions and need not ask. If lagos provides free food to the poor they would ask how it affects the rich,if they build a road at VI they would ask how it affects the poor(like the ground had a sign on it saying, 'im allegic to poor feet') its mind games, and its a normal thing here now for people to throw insults coz NL has no face!~!!

some people, when they hear that phrase "eko o ni baje", it just triggers something in their brain and sends them into a frenzy.


especially when they know the opposite holds in their hometowns.

bad belle is the bane of nigerians.

some people will use their own jealousy to better develop their place, while others do nothing but gripe and whine in some kind of self-defeating narcissistic and paranoid funk.

What are the benefits ?
Try to think outside the box. The technology is NOT for u. Its for them, the LASG. One of these days you'll all be forced to wear GPS chips 24 hrs a day probably in the palm of your hand. Its way better than CCTV. Fashola will be able to monitor all lagosians' location from one base station. The police can arrest a criminal, kidnapper, tax-dodger or political rival in seconds.
Prince charles and his sons already have on each embedded in their bodies so they can never go missing.
Its only a matter of time before you get yours courtesy BRF. Lol !

Question. Are bus drivers and market women in oshodi the only people that inhabit Lagos?

What about civil servants, doctors, nurses, teachers, construction workers, security agencies, ambulance staff, bankers, bussiness men and women, secretaries, hotel staff, manufacturing staff, delivery companies, electricians, engineers, taxi drivers, architects, IT professionals and others, other health staff, journalists, insurance professionals, real estate workers, the self employed, e.t.c?

Are bus drivers and market women the driving force of the Lagos economy?

Don't be lazy, seek info and educate yourselves,

Babapupa answering question about Oshodi bus drivers below

The Oshodi bus conductors are prob' the greatest beneficiaries of the GPS system since they spend their days on the road, they get real time traffic information to help them plan their trips or reroute based on GPS traffic information, this saves time, money, manpower and productivity of our people trying to get to work, saves fuel and helps the environment.

What more do you want from me? I've explained the effects of the GPS on your average market woman directly and indirectly. How ever you get your goods and supplies (by land, sea and air) you are benefiting from the GPS system, or as usual, you can not read and comprehend. And was the system available when your mom was trading?

Bus driver or no bus driver, market women or no market women, the system benefits you on a daily basis directly or indirectly. What about Taxi drivers, caterers, delivery people, fishing companies and other boaters, trucking and logistics, law enforcements, protection of good and properties, The application is limitless.

Now about your market women question? What if the market woman have no need for a GPS device? Cars are very important in our lives but a lot of people don't drive or even own a car, still it doesn't mean they are not indirectly getting the benefits of the GPS system via their business and other co-lateral applications.

It's a known fact that the GPS saves time and increases productivity and the market women getting her supplies on time or getting real time information about her goods from a GPS equipped vendor prob' have no clue what a GPS is, but she is some way some how benefiting from the application.

What more do you want from Babapupa? What question have I not answered?

Maybe you missed the above responses, but obviously, I answered all their questions. I answered all their questions.

Even after answering all their questions, are they still not asking the same silly questions like retards.

What you're missing is the fact they don't give a dam/n about your answers, their own questions and the GPS itself, the idea is to badmouth, trash and display bad bele by any means necessary and I have no problem qualifying them based on their actions.

See what people are still hopping on? Even after answering this and other questions.

Are you afraid to speak your mind?  Just give us your opinion on the GPS station.

@tensor, i take you didnt read through all the posts here, @tpia, as usual youve done wat ure known for, lol

^^yes, i'm known for not sugar coating i.diocy.

you do sound like an illiterate.

tpia, i ve been on this forum long enough to know you do not matter here.i,like many others here have absolutely zero respect for you.believe it or not there are opinions of a few people i and many others respect here.you are definitely, i repeat DEFINITELY NOT one of them,

lol, and i tot bkbabe was the worst.

your problem, not mine.

enough of these fackals.

who says the market women cannot use a gps system? you will be surprise that when the time comes, the devise will be as comely used as a mobile phone. at least i was proved wrong with the advents of the mobile phone. i felt that these devices will be so complex that only the high tech people will use it. but what do we have these days, mallams, meat sellers, market women naming it are all using it. what the actually need is a bit of orientation and training. at least they all use the home address system to navigate their way now. why wouldn't they use the gps then?

In their minds, market women and bus drivers are stu/pid, dumb and no good illiterates just like them. They are all self defeatists and they don't believe in themselves and other people. They lack the capacity to think forward like 21st century human beings.

You know I thought to myself "Damn, this Jakumo dude's jokes suck major balls. . . . "

I know, I feel so unworthy. I really do deserve a public execution for that one. At least my dogs love me, so I have something to live for.

Geez, another bomb! You really do suck at this . . . . .

We announce the release of our August 2010 Nigerian maps for Garmin GPS devices, for symbian mobile phones, for windows Mobile operated units, for Chinese made GPS and many more.

These are not hacked maps as are being peddled about on NairaLand and in China- these maps are the best you can come about in the country and in Ghana as we speak.

Unique features of these maps are:

Each points of interest on our map now includes the address and the phone number where appropriate - example- if you want to go to XYZ hospital - immediately you search for the hospital and finds it, you will see the address and the phone number- in case of emergency, you can then call them up and get them on alert pending your arrival.

We now have the GPS route you to specific house numbers instead of the intersections of streets hitherto-
(House numberings available for Lagos and Abuja)

We now bundled the Nigerian map with Ghana maps as well as the interconnecting routes. Plans are under way to have Togo and Benin street maps as well.

Please note that these are copyright Third Dimension Technologies maps- not one hacked map by one jobless man.
