I think ambassadors are expected to report whatever they do in their host countries.

It's quite interesting to note that the U.S actually desires a free and fair election in Nigeria even more than many Nigerians.

not nigerian ambassadors they are expected to report on current Real Estate trends and advance payment methods  

The commissioner for transportation, Bamidele Badejo, during a ministerial briefing on April 8, said government noticed the situation and is working at correcting it.

“The state government is not comfortable with the activities of touts considering the enormity of their unacceptable activities such as issuance of fake documents and outright duping people of their hard earned money. Either way the members of the public are the losers,” the commissioner said.

“To stop these vices, the government is working on a programme designed to protect the interest of top executives and other members of the public who on the account of their schedule do not have the luxury of time to access MVAA’s products and who often times fall prey to touts. A programme for registration and certification of middlemen has commenced with MVAA, VIO and the Nigerian Police collaborating actively on this. The certified agents would fill the vacuum expected from total elimination of touts or illegal middle men.”

Long story short, she told me to give her N3,000 to avoid paying N50,000 if we went to the station. She danced along to Wande Coal’s “Bumper to Bumper” playing on my radio as I drove along, looking for a cash machine. I ended up giving her N2,000, and she advised me to make sure I carried my driver’s licence at all times.

The next day, I went to the driver’s licence office at Ojodu Berger. I walked in, asked a few questions, and was told to fill out a form. Regular licence fee was N5,000 and express would cost an additional N1,000. I did all that. A few hours later, I had my photo taken, and I was told to return the next week for the licence. No driving test, no proof that I could drive. So this is how all those lunatics on Lagos roads got their licences. I feel the bloating coming on already.

See where you got it wrong, Lagos State government does not issue driver's licenses but FRSC, which happens to be a federal institution.
I would have loved for states to be issuing it though as Lagos would be able to control of the blind people with drivers license in Nigeria. The issue is drivers license has been made a form of identity and thus almost everyone has to have one whether they drive or not. based on this, even blind people do get one to enable them make transactions in the banks 

many thanks for the correction, the way ive heard people talk about it is as if tehy are going to the local council or some pay someone who work at the LG to sort it out- cheers

^^ excellent, this will definitely get more people involved with the game and more fans to the stadium, i wonder where agege stadium is though

@aegibson
where is your post from cos i saw a news article: it was bought by the lagos state government for N500m

This guy will be in here in a couple of months, mouthing off about how he returned to nigeria to contribute to the development of our dear nation while you lot slaving away in Oyinbo land

_{I dont think americans sentence offenders to months in prison, starts from years. . damn!!}

^^ well many people like to be called banker so you just never know lol

I have a problem with what they are doing because it causes division. The Sarakis are vipers in our midst.

How?

do you have a problem with the interracial girl at your work place too?
will the people of kwara live get better infrastructure if their governor was a Yoruba/hausa/igbo?

there's division in Ogun state, perhaps he is also from Anambra via Bayelsa

Abagworo:
Saraki once used his own mouth to claim malian Fulani origin.It will be a shame if proven that he is an Egba man.

One lesson episodes like this should teach us Nigerians is to accept everybody as a citizen of wherever he is born or settled as long as he is a Nigerian.

True, most people we refer to as hausa are fulanis some are not even fulanis some are something else we dont know whilst some have links ot niger, chad, etc etc

Kobojunkie:
You mentioned earlier having Lagos sit at a round table of some sorts with FRSC, am that article there tells you that even the agency does not seem serious about doing much to alleviate the problems in Nigeria, talk less of Lagos. They seem more content with having their annual ceremony to remember the dead, than they are about actually working to reduce the number of casualties.

LASTMA extortion issues aside, this project is for WITHIN Lagos, not for outside of Lagos. Granted implementation is where issue end in Nigeria, but I still wonder if people understand what this idea is really about.

Also, with the recent removal of the ban on importation of older vehicles, I believe this is what we need now, and not later, because we are likely to witness an increase in number of death traps on our roads in the coming year.

No i'm not talking about those ceremonial round table, more of a Lagos led round table (with the usually offensive and perhaps some sort of aggressive stance) with FRSC getting a complimentary invite not necessarily to led- perhaps they will be forced to shape up even if it only in Lagos. And i'm certain many states in the SW will back their fellow ACN governor with massive support from the residents

Kobojunkie:
The above is of the FRSC. Does that seem one that is even working to improve the situation at all?

Sorry I don't really get this, you talking about the stats by FRSC. . .

oyb:
this sums it up. maybe if the attackers of lasg lose their loved ones to a trailer with bad brakes , 8 of 12 tires functioning , 'clutch wey dey misbehave' they will understand

I made sure any time we were stuck in traffic or on any motorway my uncle move away from trailer and those huge truck carrying containers, and i saw two that actually got stuck- on almost flipped over but was 'shocked' and offloaded quickly

The problem is Lagos is concentrating on revenue collection under the guise of traffic offence with LASTMA often for minor issues but on the whole they lasg can do a lot more within Lagos itself a huge percentage of cars in Lagos can be shipped or or made to undergo stringent test after all they have a database from M.O.T receipts
making laws that are not implemented is making no efforts at all

desgiezd:
Here's a man who would refer to himself as "Oloye" while in the south but would prefer to be called "Malam" whenever he crosses River Niger towards the north. Now the son is proud to say he is "Bukola Abubakar Saraki", the "Abubakar" that has been so silent before the issue of presidential campaign came up.

actually its people that refer to him as that, even nobody refer to themselves as mallam either

the sarakis are smart allowing people call them whatever

are people from benue and kogi northerners or southerners?

If you call Jarus a northerner he'll answer if you call him a Yoruba he'll answer to that too

some people construe that to mean they are playing smart to gain some sort of advantage

Sarakis are aliens from pluto

Oh please, stop comparing American/overseas prices with Nigeria- doesn't make sense at all

Always knew these so caled 'private' universities people call on to take over tertiary institution are themselves not well governed!

medjai:
If I say this Offa Township Stadium is horrible, I'm only being nice

honeric01:
^^^^^

But i thought they said the stadium has been renovated?

Nah, it's Ilorin Township stadium that is being renovated, so I think they are sharing with Bukola Babes at the moment

which one be that? or you mean Shooting Stars? 3SC?

well the fans also say they don't deserve to be in the lower league -But they are!!!!

^^ actually this sums its up, under this very serious state government one can procure a drivers' license by just paying the fees and snapping a pic voila!

The state government can address this issue first then make it mandatory that all drivers' actually go for a course
too many suicidal drivers in lagos

^^ i swear i could have said the same for Charlton Athletic or even Millwall

yem,

the house in your Pic looks very decent the 'security' aspect can be sorted once the owner gets enough money for a fence, i don't think burglary proof is that important; it's crude- Good fence with decent security system is good enough

seems all rooms en-suite is the new fad

Nice initiative

would be nice if you posted this in the Career section too or _{perhaps I move this there?}

no mind am, he be want division one mate for him insurance

sorry we have better friends going down this season they'll fit you perfectly

And hopefully they actually make the issue of car insurance a priority so people wont be exchanging blows or begging each other on the road

I still don't understand why we have Lastma/FRSC officials not chasing people without M.O.T and Insurance

I cant believe Bukola Babes cant get a point against fellow struggler Plateau utd

seems theyve not been read the riot act in Kwara state they need to fix up, we need 2 teams in ilorin sharing the same stadium

^^ Supersport should start cataloguing all the bad officiating going on in the league and any game that spans into 100+ minutes favouring the home side

and what's with the reporter not listing the Referee's name?
