Politics › 20 Children Killed, 75 Others Injured In Christmas Auto Crashes by dridowu(op): 10:40pm On Dec 30, 2013
ABUJA — Over 20 children have lost their lives in various road traffic crashes that occurred in the country during the Christmas celebration.
doctors1The management of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, which announced the sad development in Abuja, said, 75 others were injured in the crashes involving 239 children with 144 of them rescued alive by its patrol operatives.
The FRSC’s Corps Public Education Officer, Mr. Jonas Agwu, said the accidents happened between December 19 and 28, 2013.
Disturbed by the spate of road fatalities involving children, the FRSC, according to Agwu, has reiterated the need for all motorists to ensure the safety of children in their vehicles even as the FRSC intensifies its awareness campaigns and patrol activities towards reversing this trend.
The commission has reiterated its warning to parents and other drivers who convey children in their vehicles to ensure that they are appropriately restrained when travelling in a motor vehicle.
He added that children who are under 12 years should be restrained in the rear seats, in line with the provisions of the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2012, because air bags can injure or kill young children travelling in front seats, in the event of a crash.
Agwu said the commission had robust public advocacy, massive deployment of human and material resources and intensified patrol activities since December 19, 2013 which has resulted to a reduction in road crashes and fatalities in the initial five days, 19-23, of the 2013 yuletide special patrol, tagged “Operation Zero Tolerance.”
Consequently, the corps has mandated its commanding officers to intensify enforcement of traffic rules and regulations bothering on child safety during the 2013 yuletide patrols which is slated to end on January 12, 2014.
Additional steps will be taken by FRSC operatives to conduct routine checks on vehicles conveying children to ensure that such children are properly positioned through restraints.

10. Following the crowd instead of forging against it
You can be aware of the trends, but never follow them. If all your time is spent trying to adjust to your surroundings, you’ll get lost in the crowd all the more easily.

Success and greatness are constructed by trendsetters themselves, not those who latched on to what’s currently trending. We hope that you don’t have any aspirations to look like your favorite rapper. Temptation to be influenced by those who you aspire to be like is easy, but no one finds his or her calling while following in the footsteps of another.

9. Failing to energize those around you
Although you may sometimes think there is a lack of talent in your networks — this is never the case. It is your sole responsibility to inspire, encourage and drive those around you to succeed.

Failing to do so only confirms that you fall victim to that which you accuse others of. Change and greatness can be sparked everywhere, but bring it upon yourself to trigger it.

8. Thinking you need to stop learning and growing
You have more zeros at the end of your bank statement and stamps in your passport than you had ever imagined. Don’t consider this your victory lap, but rather as a taste of greatness. Do you live to enjoy the moments you dreamed of or a lifetime of unimaginable success?

The common misconception that once things are in your favor, you no longer have to put in the 3:00AM work hours is a dangerous problem. The fewer nights that you’re willing to put in the work, the fewer opportunities you will have to celebrate your achievements in the future.

7. Thinking that anyone will ever pay you back
Your 20s will be accompanied with a slew of poor investments by both you and those around you. Whether rich or poor, there will always be someone in your circle that will need a helping hand. If you ever think you’re going to see that money again, you’re sorely mistaken.

If there were a plan of action and re-investment, then the truth is that you will not see $1 back. Times are tough, especially in your 20s and finding a route back to financial freedom is often seen only when winning the lotto or signing your first deal with Ca$h Money Records.

Of course miracles do happen, but the probabilities that you’ve essentially given the money away are far too high.

6. Investing in relationships with the wrong values
Your love life is an investment — and the smarter the deals you execute, the savvier of an investor you become. Instead of navigating through an ambiguous investment in which you shower your lover with cash and prizes for existing, make sure he or she will demonstrate positive returns. Your love life should have a solid ROI.

5. Holding on to friends that waste your time and add no value to your life
You’ll be sucked down into the abyss right with them if you don’t cut the fat of the group. Family and friends could have been great to you as a child, but if they no longer hold the value and inspiration that is needed for you to thrive in life, then cut them loose.

The only individuals you should be surrounding yourself with are those that challenge your ideas and motivate you to find the next solution to your problems. No, not the pessimistic assh*les who shoot down your ideas with their negativity, but rather the ones who genuinely want to see you succeed no matter what you do in life.

4. Forgetting about the piggy bank and spending every dollar you have
If our check is for $9, then we’re most likely spending $30. Between credit cards, school loans and every other avenue for attaining a quick dollar, our need for immediate gratification is worse than ever.

The truth is it’s about making more money, not saving it. But at the same time, if you have no means for expanding your revenue channels, then you must be able to save a few dollars here and there. No one likes to have to walk to work because he blew every dollar at LAVO.

3. Not wrapping it before tapping it
If you don’t want to have a child then you better limit your excuses. As vulgar as it may sound, sometimes there are only a few options in life, so you must avoid all potential margins of error.

The road to success is not paved with having responsibilities of children and your future wife to be. This is a somewhat lonely journey that you must take by yourself and those you love will be able to celebrate with you after.

2. Dating unstable people with mommy and daddy issues
We need to control the invincibility we all feel when it comes to both men and women. Whether she’s a stripper or he’s a frat bro, we feel the need to be the knight in shining armor for our lovers.

As chivalrous as this may seem, we hate to break it to you, but you will never be able to change anyone. By setting yourself up for a losing battle, you’ve only ensured your misery for the next few months. She’s clingy for a reason, don’t be her Dr. Phil. And if he doesn’t have ambition now, he never will.

1. Forgetting that karma is a huge b*tch
Whether it’s burning bridges with people you loved, stealing your friend’s girlfriend or plotting against an ex-partner, we must always remember that karma is the biggest b*tch we’ve ever met.

There is nothing more true than the fact that whatever goes around comes around, and you are not immune to the cosmic forces that be. We’re not asking you to go on your Mother Teresa pilgrimage, but don’t be surprised when reality catches back up with you and brings you to your knees. Be a good person. You’ll get further in life.

Nairaland General › The 20 Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make In Your 20s by dridowu(op): 10:42pm On Dec 29, 2013
Your 20s compose undoubtedly the most pivotal time in your life. While there are plenty of temptations and distractions, the decisions you make here are truly what dictate your future, as the weak fail and only the strong survive.

Do you have what it takes to become a monumental success? Or will you live out a life of mediocrity? The choice is up to you. While many think they have all the answers and the keys to success, we have seen those people make the same pitfalls too many times before.

This is the time for you to hustle, scrap and fight for the life that you want for yourself. You manifest your own destiny during these crucial years.

Every move you make is a test. Don’t f*ck it up. These are the 20 Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make In Your 20s.

20. Working for money, not for building your dreams
Never do anything just because it’s convenient for you. Look to challenge yourself and build your own dream instead of building someone else’s. Even if it doesn’t exactly make sense now, create something with great value so you can cash out big.

Always look to the future and never for immediate compensation. What are you going to do with those weekly wages anyways? Stop being so entitled and pretending like you deserve cash, prizes and vacations just yet. You will soon realize once you’ve made it that making money doesn’t make you happy. It’s the journey.

19. Thinking that this is the right time to fall in love
While all of your friends might be doing it, don’t fall into the trap of a relationship. Sure it seems like the right thing to do, but your 20s are entirely too crucial for your personal growth for you to be focusing on fulfilling the wishes of another individual.

Not only does it make you complacent with where you are in life, but it makes you boring. When your business is at stake and your future is resting on your shoulders, the last thing you need is to be bogged down by an insecure lover rushing you home.

Get out there, meet new people, test the limits and have fun. It will take you to the places you’ve only dreamed of going.

18. Trying to act like the man rather than learning how to become one
Instead of going overboard on the Gucci monogram and bottles in the club, as if you just signed to Rocnation, spend that time focusing on your career.

Every second counts and if more time is spent pretending to be the person you want to be instead of becoming that man, then you’ll sink in quick sand without even knowing it.

A real man is willing to make sacrifices. If you aren’t down to put in the work, then please don’t act like you are. You can enjoy the success when you actually attain it.

17. Making friends instead of earning trust
The in-crowd may be tempting, but you’ll probably fall victim to surrounding yourself with social climbers. We know you feel entitled to celebrate, but please relax. It’s never attractive when you act as though this is the last time you’ll ever see this in life.

Make connections with people based on trial and error, not presuppositions and drunk ranting about what they can do for your business.

If you ever want people to take you seriously, then you have to take them seriously. Just because you think you trust someone doesn’t always mean you can. Heed any red flags in the past before jumping into any kind of venture with them.

16. Not caring because you only live once — that’s for fools
We all are guilty of irrational decision-making in our 20s. Fast people and fast times with money in your pocket always lead to over-extending yourself.

A life of partying, heavy drugs and pretty much having that YOLO attitude will leave you flat on your ass. Get focused and lock into what you’re supposed to be doing. If you don’t know what that is, then you better figure it out ASAP.

15. Making all your wants, needs
Expensive women and cheap thrills coupled with the expensive sneakers should not be on the list of your needs. Setting the foundation for your business and team is far more important than updating your wardrobe and chasing sex.

Distinguish between what you want and what you actually need. Make sure your priorities are in tact or you will lose your track.

14. Forgetting that family comes first
Those who supported you before anything deserve to be taken care of when you reach your success. If you aren’t doing this for the ones you love, then you’re not doing it right. Family comes first, no matter what happens. If you work for whom you love instead of just yourself, you will get far.

13. Blaming anyone else but yourself for anything in life
Hold yourself accountable for everything. At the end of the day, all you have in the world is yourself — so go hard. Don’t look to anyone for answers and instead of making problems, create solutions.

Whether it was that job you wanted, the funding you needed or the love you think you can’t live without, there is no one that can be held accountable in this universe except for you.

12. Getting comfortable like you actually deserve down time
Unless you’re chilling with Victoria’s Secret models in Monaco this weekend, you shouldn’t even be thinking about taking a break anytime soon. You need a vacation?

What have you accomplished? Mark Cuban spent seven years building out his first business before he even took a break. Don’t get lazy now.

11. Sticking with jobs that didn’t teach you anything
A bad job is like an unhealthy relationship. Truthfully, the only reason you’re there is because it is the safest and easiest thing you know.

Any job or relationship that allows for you to get comfortable should be avoided at all costs. The last scenario you could ever want is becoming like the rest of those miserable 40-somethings faced with weekends of minivans and soccer practice.

Education › 200 Sokoto Students On Scholarship To Cyprus, Pakistan by dridowu(op): 10:32pm On Dec 29, 2013
The Sokoto Government on Sunday announced plans to sponsor 200 students to pursue various degree programmes in Cyprus and Pakistan. Gov. Aliyu Wamakko disclosed this at the Yabo Local Government Area of the State when he inaugurated some projects executed by the Old Boys’ Association of the Sarkin Kabi Shehu Model Primary School, Yabo.
Wamakko said that the students were expected to depart Sokoto for Cyprus and Pakistan in January 2014.
According to him, “the gesture is in addition to the over 1,000 students currently being sponsored by the state government in some universities within and outside the country.
“The gesture is part of our modest efforts to boost the human resources of the state. This is also in the bid to further enhance the development of the state and that of Nigeria, by extension.
“We will continue to accord priority to the education sector and provide equal opportunities for all indigenes to acquire quality education, within and outside the country,’’ the governor said.
He commended the members of the association for executing the projects and appealed to others to emulate them.
Wamakko stressed the need for all and sundry to complement the government’s efforts in providing a conducive atmosphere for effective teaching and learning.
Alhaji Shehu Shagari, a former President, challenged wealthy individuals to complement government efforts by providing infrastructure in their former schools.
“The responsibility of developing education is not that of the government alone. Hence, the need for people to contribute their quota to the development of the society,” he added.
Shagari, who is also a member of the association, commended his colleagues for providing infrastructure for the school.
The elder statesman also urged other well-to-do individuals in the state to emulate the gesture by the association.
The projects inaugurated by Wamakko included a block of two classrooms, as well as the provision of teaching and learning materials

Politics › Man Killed Over Disagreement On Chickens by dridowu(op): 4:32pm On Dec 27, 2013
The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended
two men over the murder of one Gbadamosi Tabra,
who was killed in the Epe area of the state.
According to Police authorities, Gbadamosi was
killed following a disagreement over the ownership
of two chickens.
PUNCH Metro learnt that trouble started after
Gbadamosi and three others, Musa Sumaila, Usman
Garuba and one Yahaya; had a misunderstanding
over the chickens. It was learnt that the argument
led to a brawl.
Our correspondent learnt that Gbadamosi was
injured and was later rushed to the Epe General
Hospital where he was declared dead.
It was learnt that due to the nature of the case, the
doctor on duty informed the Divisional Police
Officer, Epe Division, who then sent his men to the
hospital.
Sumaila and Garuba were said to have been
arrested immediately, while Yahaya fled.
Our correspondent learnt that following
Gbadamosi’s death, some of his relatives protested
and demanded that his body be released to them so
he could be immediately buried according to Islamic
rites.
A police source said, “Most times, when there is
any death, especially one resulting from murder, it
is the duty of the hospital to keep the corpse in the
mortuary after which an autopsy will be conducted.
“However, Gbadamosi’s colleagues, who are all
Northern Muslims, demanded that the corpse must
be given to them or they would wreak havoc. That
was why the hospital called us.”
Police Public Relations, Ngozi Braide, told PUNCH
Metro that efforts were on to arrest Yahaya.
She said, “Around 9pm last Thursday, the DPO Epe
received a call from Epe General Hospital that three
men brought Tarba to the hospital. They were said
to have fought over the ownership of two fowls.
“Tarba died before doctors could even attend to
him. Two of the men were arrested while the third,
one Yahaya, escaped. The matter will be
transferred to the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Yaba for further investigation.”
Braide said normalcy had been restored in the area.
