A report in The Guardian says the controversial new traffic bill prescribing 3 years jail term for one-way traffic violators will be signed into law today by Gov Fashola.

Trying to be my brother’s keeper, I would like to share with you some roads in Lagos that can take you directly to jail as from today Friday.

Since a new Shopping Mall accommodating Shoprite was launched in Alausa, Ikeja, the road that passes directly behind it is now a one-way street. Policemen have been feeding fat on people who had used that road for ages and are unaware of this new development. When the bill becomes law, heading in the wrong direction on the road will send you to jail for three years.


To new motorists or those visiting Lagos, Somolu is filled with bosom-traps that can send you to jail. One-way streets there are numerous. But the ones that quickly come to mind include Oyebajo Street. If you're coming from Morocco Road, going to Ikorodu Road, Oyebajo Street is to the right. With no visible signs, this street is a one-way ticket to jail.


Again, when coming from Ikorodu Road, heading to Igbobi College, there is another one-way traffic street by Fadeyi Bus Stop via Kalejaiye Street. It is the right turning before the National Orthopaedic hospital. LASTMA guys will usually not stay at the entry point to warn you, but in the middle to apprehend you. You will regain your freedom in three years!


Then the popular bridge linking Dopemu to Egbeda is one-way traffic at a designated time of each day. From 5am to 1159am you can cross from Dopemu side to the Egbeda side without any trouble. But if you are delayed and cannot cross to Egbeda side before noon, make a quick U-turn. If you still go ahead and cross to the other side, LASTMA and the police will be waiting for you with a Black Maria. Kiss your freedom goodbye.


On the Yaba/Akoka axis, there are a few bosom-traps, apart from the clear one-way traffic roads with concrete medians. The one that leaps to mind now is the major road from University Junction that leads directly to UNILAG Gate. This road is 95 percent two-way traffic. But there is a 5 percent one-way traffic, where you have to detour inside the community and burst out a little further down the road. There is an old, faded ‘No Entry’ sign, to warn motorists, but many first timers miss it. They are joking with three years jail term.


The service lane at Osodi coming from Mile Two is presumably two-way traffic up to a little after NAFDAC. The road forks into two, the right links CAPPA/Mushin, while the left links Osodi Oke. Motorists who want to drop passengers at Osodi, but are too law-abiding to do it on the Expressway, usually enter the service lane, drop their passengers, drive past NAFDAC and at the fork, bear left to link Osodi Oke, onward to Oworonsoki or Maryland, as the case maybe. But any day some LASTMA officials are broke, they usually stay on top of Osodi Oke bridge and monitor those climbing the bridge at the fork. They then pounce on them, accusing them of one-way traffic violation. If you are unlucky to pass that route on one of such days, you will be writing a prison memoir soon, or you offer to pay for the school fees of the children of the ‘hardworking’ LASTMA guys who apprehend you. Which would it be?

Then, from the past few months, motorists coming from Toll Gate by 7 Up, and attempting to link Oregun can no longer drive straight into Ikosi Road by Union Bank. Entry has been barred even though there is no single sign to that effect yet. In lieu of that, there are traffic cones placed there to guide motorists. In all fairness, there are sometimes some honest LASTMA guys at the intersection to guide confused motorists how they can access Ikosi via Lever Brothers. But often times, on duty are the crooked ones who see an opportunity to make money. When a LAWMA truck or other government vehicles exempted from traffic laws blow these cones away, motorists coming afterwards inadvertently drive into Ikosi at the intersection and are slammed by LASTMA and gun-toting policemen. You are in serious trouble.


There are many more, I’m sure. If there are some roads you know that are not included, be your brothers’ keeper and share. Wish you a jail-free motoring.

While I understand that the distance between your home and work for everybody varies, I would like to have an idea of how much on the average people spend on petrol for their cars every week most especially now that petrol costs N97/litre.

Hello Inspired,

Could you be kind enough to help check this VIN - 1YVGF22C7Y5100363.

Thanks for the assistance.

My fiancee never ceases to amaze me. I have noticed a certain behaviour for a while which gets practically worse by the day.

It is obvious we love each other but the problem is that she is nice, courteous and very friendly to everyone around including my family members EXCEPT me.  My parents think she is an angel but her "not-so-nice" side she shows me when we are alone is best imagined.

She's appears to be a good girl but gets angry very easily at very minor things and as you would think she's very unpredictable.  Once she gets moody, Im the one who suffers it, although she tries to manage the situation when around others but unleashes her annoyance raw on me.

Please house, Is this a normal attitude cos I keep wondering, am I not the one she should be more friendly and open to? Afterall, im the one she's getting married to and not my parents/brothers.

Is she not just pretending to love me with this chameleon-like attitude? Everyone sees her as a good wife material but Im really bothered.

Any advice?

(NB: Please dont tell me to sit her down and talk heart-to-heart cos that has never worked, once angry, she never listens to me (but will listen to others) except I give her enough time to cool down)

kokogee:

This thread sound so real and very educative too. The truth that I've come to realise again and again is that: the more you try to please a woman, the more you hurt yourself bcs they are insatiable but see your efforts at pleasing them as indications that you can do more. It's a game anyway, only the wise ones(men) have smth to show when the game is over.

@ op. nice one there!

You cant be more correct, I keep seeing it over and over again. Not trying to sound harsh to the ladies, but a lot of them are sooooooooo full of GAMES. Sometimes they act it without even knowing, blaming it on their complexities and so-called crisis.

naijangel7:

Then they can take it back and change it to her size and taste. people do that everyday and the sellers understand that too. the ring is only symbolic to show that the proposal was well thought-out and no be secondary school love. It doesn't even have to be an expensive ring, it's just symbolic.



S & W, you mean? LOL

While it is true, you can return the ring if its the wrong size, some ladies believe dat as a serious guy you should know the size of her ring and at the same time you are not supposed to ask her cos its supposed to be a surprise.

Ladies, how do we know the size of your ring if we cant ask you and u don't wear any we can steal to find out.
   

This is quite surprising to me as more ladies (who have made comments) seem not to see a big deal in the ring issue, my proposal to my girlfriend is currently delayed for 2 months simply because ive not got her ring yet. (definitely not cost implications)

Actual reason is that I dont know her ring size yet (she currently doesnt wear a ring) and its pretty difficult getting someone to ask for me or to find out.
Left to me i would have gone ahead to propose but im so sure she'll be mad at me if I propose without a ring or if I get a ring she doesnt like or not her size.

How I wish she was like most girls here, I would have forgotten about proposal and probably started wedding plans.
