Kobojunkie:
How do you know it is not good for their health? Answer that first . . . . how did you come to that conclusion by this ban?

So rather than directly tackling the Okada issue head on, the freedoms of a group of people in the society should be impinged on instead? So an Okada man cannot drive his pregnant wife to the hospital, even gently to the hospital? Pregnant woman who own motorbikes are barred from riding them for the duration of their pregnancy even when their is NO evidence to prove that riding on Okada is bad for the babies health?

No o, there are ambulance up and down teh state now even at 2am, not just in Lekki, i hear about ambulance patrolling my area in ajegunle just hop in, aint you heard about the helicopters too? They are multi-purpose


If the governemnt allow preganat women to travel on public transport for free that will be a good idea- plus school kids under 16 with an I.D and Older people over 60 with proof of I.D or address

SEFAGO:
IMO, no one has really said anything sensible actually or hit the point on why schools like Exeter or Eton are "perceived" as good. Its pretty easy to make a public school or any type of school good.

1. (Most important) Making it highly selective. Search for the best students in primary school and pipeline them into these schools. Also admit rich silly people to fund scholarships for these supersmart students who cannot afford to attend a private school. This will ensure that you have successful alumni. Rich students will have the connections to make them always successful, while smart poor students would have the drive to reach the greatest heights.
2. Form ties with the best universities in the world, and become a "feeder" for these top schools. Exeter is a "feeder" for the most high selective schools in the US, while Eton is a "feeder" for the Oxbridge schools.
3. Good facilities (This is the least most important)
4. Good well paid teachers

I dont think the OP wants a discussion about few private schools who are mostly carrying the badge of their past

We already have those!

lekside44:
they should privatise the schools

so that the number of children going to school decrease by 70% abi?

Some private schools are just breeding ground for corrupt teachers who get paid to help during jamb/waec/ssce
They just wear fancy uniforms and razz foreign names like Chelsea intl secondary school

The govt is statain the blooming obvious!!

So what will happen is they use okada, They will imprison mother and baby as usual? or punish the okada man- whats the punishment/fine?

believe me:
The Lagos State Government has said that no motorcycle operator (Okada) should carry any visibly pregnant woman or school aged children or women with babies strapped at their backs.

To this end, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa, at Alausa, Ikeja, said yesterday that with effect from [b]Thursday, July 1, 2010, the Government would commence the full enforcement of all road traffic laws and regulations guiding Okada operation in the state.[/b]
Nairalanders whats your take on this?

Bravo!! 6 months to the end of the tenure they are now going to enforce the law? so which road traffic laws having they been 'enforcing' ?

Nigerians need a visa at no cost which has to be obtained at the embassy in nigeria before travelling usually process within 5 days (no automatic right)

Some countries only need a ticket

Who is better Adeniyi or the new Spokesman?

Pillars failure to get points away from home cost them!!

Afonja warriors for african tickets oya Honeric where da money wey we bet 

bayelsa played three games in five days? 


i think they need to tune their calendar well well everyone in the world's finish playing only in nigeria, i bet the NPL officials are even out of the country already as part of the 14 committees

Kwara 6-0 R Bees 


so how many players scored a hat trick this season?

I think many graduate schould be employed as teachers, they should be able to take a one year on the job training after a one year teachers training - this would massively reduce the number of unemployement especially for the female graduates- After wards they should get 6 months off every other year whilst being paid 50% of their salary to improve themselves

-the Govt should introduce a 'minimum standard' in terms of infrastructure needed in classrooms so they all look like that school commissioned by fashola recently and every private school must also adhere to these standards as a minimum

Headteachers should have a minimum postgraduate qualifications in management and HR

Schools performance should be recorded and monitored- instead of having just statistics for the number of students passing/failing every school, every local government should be made to compile a % of its student not achieveing 5 credits including Englsih, Maths and I.T; headteachers of schools with consequective years of lower than expected results should be named and shamed and redeployed to the LASMATA or let go understudy headteachers in top schools, the government will then redeploye upcoming headteachers from tops school to failing school as change agent working closely with LG

I.T should be introduced as a compulsory subject with Advance Word and Excel the core to be taken at Jamb/waec ssce

Private companies, banks,manufactures,service providers should be made to work with schools in developing curriculum that will meet the basic needs of future business areas

head teachers should be earning more than local Government chairmen/Councillors

Scholl should only take student in the LG/LCDA or not more than a certain kilometeres away from the area
so students dont waste time and risk life travelling across the state to get to school

Schools with better performance should get bonus funding to spend on 'luxury' equipment/ school trips/staff development/ specilist teachers- dyslexic, career mentors/school parties etc


obe to dun owo lo baje

There's something i stil dont understand with this 'disparity'

What exactly is the difference between someone with HND Accountancy and B.A Accountancy

Zimbabwean national Bright Madzudzu, Obunna Ndzubuisi from Nigeria and George Magubane also from Zimbabwe, were convicted and sentenced in the Protea regional court in Soweto last night.

oh No!!!

Mthethwa said: “It took police no more than 24 hours to arrest these lunatic scoundrels.

It further took the justice department no more than 48 hours to sentence them.”

HMMM impressive!!!

Where is that fat rabbit called ONOVO?

oyb:
me - i think this was staged

the woman was conveniently out of the country, the assassins snatched phones - they conversed in front of the staff

gbemi apparently is on facebook yarning about Allah's protection of the righteous or some such bs

odd coming from someone who NEXT reports is carrying on an adulterous affair with our embattled speaker ( the righteous noise)

apparently the gumne went as far as to inform the staff that 'they were from kwara' - i heard that on the radio this morning

Exactly!! Just like Bakole claiming to have received death threat na today?

Imagine senators house not having CCTV or panick button straight to the police station

all these fatso are looking ofr sympathy votes then chat some religious BS

Princek12:
Why is this on NL, especially on front page? Who gives a hoot about Ghana's economy doing bad? We need to worry first about our own economy.

BECAUSE WE NEED TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT OURSELLF UNFORTUNATELY

1) For no obvious reason, Lewis attempts to pass "through" Kimi, loses the lead and is out of the race!

lol he was so caught up in trying to race them from the line, kimi was 'blocking' off the other guy pushing him to the right

that was a deadly crash, people forget how dangerous this sport is, thanks to the design and safety measures put in place, who would have thought a little spare part would cause so much damage to massa last year despite his helmet


and buemi's wheels coming off under him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7D2SHDqk1E&feature=related

watch how he steers the wheels away lol

We should get 3 points from this, I watched them play today , they are not interested they played Luton FC

I'd have prefer he starts from 2nd or third for some reason, so he can attack, dont want no boring race

from pole to the podium

As the commercial hub of the country, the demand for good accommodation is ever increasing due to continuous number of business people and diplomats into the state. The State Government has responded to the challenge by providing various forms of housing opportunities to the people of Lagos through the construction of low to medium income homes across the State.

Such as. . . .?

Delivery specifications show that among the facilities in the state include a health centre with three consulting rooms, a police post, a mini-waterworks with 35,000 cubic liters daily capacity, shopping complex and security post.

what is a police post and a security post? a police station for 250 flats?

Excellent, now we want more!!!

and who are these commissioners, nigerian journalist are a lazy bunch!!

if the senate dont tell you why not ask them instead of publish half baked press briefings

Canada should be interesting i watched the first practise and was think there should be 2 McLarens on the podium

now this Hamilton to be on the podium

[quote author=phuck_NL link=topic=458071.msg6196404#msg6196404 date=1276276025]It's not a question of "speaking for myself". There is available data to back up my statement. Okay, you went to see Araromire, how about the remaining millions who prefer to buy pirated cds. Do you expect producers to make quality 100 million naira movies just so that Djswaggz and a handful of other nigerians can come and watch it? I am not making excuses for Nollywood, i'm only saying the environment this movie makers work in is harsh.
How many theatres do we have in Nigeria? Probably less than 15 in the entire nation. How do you expect them to make quality movies since majority of their films have to go straight to DVD. If they depended solely on cinema movies, they would be bankrupt. The nigerian environment does not provide for quality movies to be made.

Someone made a comment about "useless scripts". Why would anyone sit down to write a good script if they don't expect a good return on their investment. Good scripts require time, dedication and "PEPPER". James Cameron spent over 4yrs preparing for AVATAR.
Do you expect Tunde Kelani or one of the big name movie producers to sit down, for 6months or year making a movie that will only yield peanuts?
Nigerians do not want quality movies. If we did, we would have stopped patronizing PIRATES[/quote]you argument on this is true but getting very narrow, it's akin to saying Nigerians dont like painting their houses because they dont want to be robbed

You have to remember that in other parts of the world people have always bought pirated movies!! And in fact, piracy is a bigger problem to Hollywood than to Nigeria considering the many avenue used- the chinese in the barber shops, the internet, cinema recording and leaks that are all easily available before the films are even released!!

Most nigeria DVD cost about N250, how much exactly do pirated videos go for?
the lose in my opinion is amongst the so called marketers, distributors and producers themselves- they are all dodgy agents, the have distribution outlets and VCD copying machines everywhere

the problem is the laziness of the producers and distributors, they are not exactly well educated in the business many of them are opportunist that want to make quick money instead of coming together to work out ways of fighting piracy they are busy fighting for chairmanship of one board membership or the other

According to the report, Governor Yuguda ordered her not to remove any property and also instructed the police to retrieve her vehicles and other gifts. The police have since carried out the governor’s orders.

However, they (Police) were unable to stop Mariya from taking along her three children. She managed to escape with them and her whereabouts has since remained unknown.

Unconfirmed reports alleged that she may have escaped overseas with her children.

Ahhh in nigeria policemen arrest women going away with their kids?

how do you escaped with your own kids? journalistico

says a lot doesn't it? when Nigerians are comparing their newly built capital city to historically important capital city AND EVEN AT  that it still doesn't beat it hands down


_{keep it clean guys. . . . .}

Tcrack:
piracy piracy piracy.
am not trying to make any excuse for the home video makers but unlike the artist who have other avanues of making money eg.:shows, record sales, coperate sponsorship, the movie makes rely solely on sale and the pirates are making that impossible. beside if they shot a film hollywood standard and demanded hollywood price per copy ,how many of you cheap critics  will buy?

well true

But if you can make a Hollywood standard film you wont be putting it straight onto DVD will ya? You will be taking it to the cinemas across the country/continent and that where you make your money!!

those producers are greedy and in a rush most of the time, the wnat to wrap up a film in 2-3 weeks, they still cant get the volume right, they still don't understand we dont want to hear the barking dog or the crazy generator used outside, its about time they start listening to criticism or even partnering with music producers instead of using the smae lame excuse of piracy and price people are willing to pay, if the all collectively adjust their price and some pirating each others movie then people will buy at a good price

Ruq:
That girl self na waoo! Two years!! She was probably loving it @10 taking that kind of kondo. May be d father offended her dat why she is reportin now. After taking kini for two years she got tired of the thing i feels like changing.

I hope you will soon get caught too you paedo!

In a country where children are not be seen and not heard, where children are immediately locked up in churches branded witches and wizard when they are about to report criminals like these what do you expect

@dis guy: r u from itam in akwa ibom state dis one u are perturbed.
In journalism the inclusion of names and places/location of a particular subject matter authenticates the report/story

no i'm not from there, and the incident took place in lagos. . . so i was wondering is this to indicate to others that its a cultural norm for people with this background?
