We saw peaceful protests all around USA over Trump's verbal utterances even when he hadn't settled down to work. We lend our support to such peaceful protests though we can't all join physically. We saw Police and the role they played. We can go to organised countries for medical treatment and enjoy other comforts of good governance which they fought for. We love and cherish the legendary efforts of Martin Luther King and Mandela who never resorted to violence yet won the hearts of people beyond their climes. The organisers said the peaceful protest is against bad governance at all levels: Local Governments, States, National Assembly, Judiciary and Executive. Governance at all these levels involve all Political Parties that won elections (not only APC and PDP). If the protest was pro-government, are you saying the CP will start making excuses? How can you be defending a man whose wife said she will not vote for again? Life is not all rosy. When you take honey and sugar every day, you are courting diabetes or pile. Any government that wants everyone to praise and support all its policies is living in a world of sycophants. Even the Bible is ..."profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction..."(2 Tim 3:16). When you take so much of scriptural sweets, you may have spiritual pile. Who the gods want to kill, they first make mad. Let the CP make arrangements to guide the peaceful protesters and deal with hoodlums. Very soon now, he will become a "Security Expert" on TV analysing and criticising the government and he expects us to listen to him. No condition is permanent. PDP was in government; now its APC. Diariz God o! Arresting 2Face will surely boost his image and endear him in the hearts of Nigerians who have the final say in elections that are not rigged. The peaceful protest is even coming very late. If there is no money to pay workers, don't pay Governors, Senators etc simple. Kudos to Acting President's office. You can't beat a child and tell him not to cry! Na pass I dey pass.

Driving is becoming a lot of nightmare especially in Lagos. Please can someone help educate us on which documents these officials should statutorily look out for on Lagos (Nigerian) roads:
1) Road Safety
2) VIO
3) LASTMA
4) Traffic Warden
5) Police Federal Highway
6) NDLEA
7) Customs
Etc
Thanks

She might be innocent or not of the "media" charges but come to think of it, if GEJ had won, would she not have still been in govt. For someone who is by no means a pauper, did she want to die in office before going for full dedicated treatment? The stress in governance and especially her office alone, is cancerous - Senate is inviting her, House of Reps is inviting her, Lai Mohammed is firing, Oshiomhole is spiting venom, court injunctions here and there, Soicial media has prosecuted and found her guilty of all Nigeria's woes. Now see what accumulated stress has reduced her to. Can't people resign to maintain their integrity? Education should emancipate us but we are still hunted by so many witches and wizzards. Nigeria is a very funny place and our mentality is twisted. May God heal her.

He was trained to be an Enterpreneur so he doesn't need a job that is not even there. Those speaking Queen's English have they gotten jobs. He'll employ the gramarians as contract staff.

The current National Assembly has proved beyond reasonable doubt that they will make or mar PMB's administration. What do we expect from a crop of former Governors who finished the treasuries of their respective states and killed Local Govt administration. Am not sure there is any of the former Governors, now Senators that is transparently honest. For mentioning Amaechi in a number of uncleared corruption petitions yet the Senators "bowed" to him, is a capital MINUS to the genuineness of this Govt's anti-corruption and change posture. It is a replication of the impunity we are trying to run from. Ndume linked to BH sometime, Senate President standing trial, Akpabio as fresh Senator not qualified to be Minority leader. The demonised cabal that grounded GEJ Govt is still holding us to ransome. I hope in the end PDP will not have any cause to tell APC "We dey laugh o".Nigeria we hail thee!

God Win!

To ease Lagos traffic, we may try the following:
1) Fix potholes (especially in the night)
2) Open up all access gates being closed or permanently locked by all Estates
3) Deploy effective, efficient and structured water transportation in all riverine areas: Oworonsoki, CMS, Mile 2, Apapa, VI, Lekki, Ikoyi, Ajah, Ikorodu, Badagry (work out the route order)
4) Retrain and change the Aluta orientation of Lagos road users especially the Danfo drivers, Keke Marwa riders (involve their Unions)
5) Ensure compliance with traffic regulations including but not limited to traffic light and right of way
6) Reduce the high concentration of Lastma and Traffic Wardens at some locations e.g. Outer Marina, Allen Round About and Excellence
Hotel - redistribute to other locations
7) Provide more Pedestrian crossings and enforce strict usage compliance
Traffic Radio and other Radio Stations to do more on sensitisation of good road culture
9) Mount CCTV in strategic locations
10) Staggered working hours or shift can help
11) Decongest some key government offices and Bank Head Offices from the Island
12) Companies should consider their Staff place of residence and allign with office (branch) posting
