Then feed-backs are also helpful. We report issues wt bbm let's also share feedback.

walcolm: great news...maintenance is ultra important


which more roads get closed occasionally for maintenance

Wordsmith: Does anyone here listen to August Burns Red or Underoath? I prefer Underoath though. One of my favorite rock songs has to be Iris by GooGoo Dolls, Coldplay's Trouble, Keane's Try Again and She Has No Time. Ah yes, and also Until June. Lovely band. Only one album though. 3 years back another favorite of mine was Anthem Of The Angels by Breaking Benjamin. And if y'all are into alternative, try out Bloc Party. The lead singer's of Nigerian origin (Igbo). I like the way they experiment with sounds.

Late 2011 to early 2012, i picked up Sanctus Real and Josh Garrels. Nice albums too.

Revealedtv: Nothing will top D'banj's association with Kanye for a long long time...its the biggest news in African music...even if R.kelly signs Tuface and Jay-z signs Mi and Wutang signs Vector and Beyonce signs Omawunmi, it won't be that big a deal

Oga!!! If JayZ signs you and your hook is "JayZ signed me, I don blow, I no dey una level again (x10)" You would sell fire in Nigeria, abeg. If Jay signs me nobody go hear word, i no go shut up

naanmin: Crash

Dede1: I guess you forgot Okada riders might have guns too. Now, it becomes a matter of who is the best shot. When everybody is perceived to be packing a gun, it creates an unseen equilibrium. In USA, a policeman will always approach suspected law breaker with caution even if it is a minor traffic incident.

If Nigerians really want to engage in democracy, they must observe every bit of democratic nuances.

Dede1: Before Nigeria/Biafra civil war, law-abiding Nigerians were allowed to own gun and freely go to hunt. But since after the civil war, the cabals due to the fear of being ignominiously booted out of office by the angry crowd slammed gun ban on the society and gave petty thieves the leeway to be real bad.

Okay, yea. But Nigerians then ARE different from Nigerians now. If just anyone in our times is granted a licence, there'd be lawlessness. People are on the edge. . . _{I might even shoot a couple of okada riders. . . i hate the fuqqas}

Pa22: pray this becomes the break-though we need to combat this monster!

It's a virus not a monster

afam4eva: I pray the cure of HIV/AIDS is never found. The world is already bad the way it is. Finding the cure of HIV will make people to live a carefree life afterall there's a tablet waiting in the corner.

Don't worry mahn! "magun" still dey

Dede1: Thanks very much for the above write-up. It is very rare to read accurate information from NL without undue influence of tribal bias. However, I guess Nigeria government is very silly with its ban on public possession of firearm. How about the law, Section 4 of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act, Cap. R11, Vol. 14, Laws of the Federation, 2004? It sucks because every firearm case does not necessarily relate to robbery.

I really don't think it sucks that it's not legal to own a firearm. I think Nigeria and Nigerians are still growing and learning. As you can see from the daily hustle and bustle attitude our people, coupled with impatience and the "do-you-know-who-I-am" syndrome, people would be shooting each other like it was legal to do so. Someone has a very bad day at work + probably trying to deal with the frustration of impotence uhm. . . gets his car scratched by a danfo, he might get all trigger-happy.

Like I said we are still learning, it's not very long ago that Nigerians started wearing their seat belts willingly, without thinking of LASTMA. A few years ago this wasn't the case. Also the same with littering (throwing trash out your car windows) . Not to say people are still not doing these, but we are still learning not only what is right, but what is reasonable.

Legalising firearms at this level of our development, to me, is not advisable. I might not be right but that's my view, maybe not the intention of the Law Makers. Altho there's the need for solutions to self protection. I have been thinking of how to legally get a hold tasers for this purpose.
