At least they would have learnt the hard way for their next incarnations...
Since nothing happened,they should all go home and enjoy their free petrol while some can as well decide to sell...

That truck is probably carrying JET A-1 (from the color code) which is equally highly inflammable. The triangle is complete already; FUEL+ OXYGEN+ HEAT (from the motorcycle exhaust).
I congratulate them for escaping the terrible and ugly situation that would have happen to them, the community and the nation at large.

When such thing happens, please let us call the appropriate authority to come and clean the scene, what we will gain from the little product we scooped will not be amount to anything if there is fire outbreak.

My advice

SATURDAY BREEZE
Phone etiquettes many don’t follow

Tunde Ajaja

It was an unusual silence in the bus that evening. The driver had turned off the engine, having been stuck in the traffic jam for about 30 minutes. The passengers had also become anxious and thoroughly exhausted.

But, suddenly, something happened and they all swiftly sprang to life; the mobile phone of a woman sitting in the middle row rang. She had a call, but the noise of the ringtone could make anyone run away. It was as if the volume of a deck was suddenly turned up. The sound was deafening.



Our correspondent, who was also in the bus, observed that while she brought the phone closer to her eyes and stared at it closely to identify who was calling, the other passengers kept looking at her with disgust, perhaps with the intention of telling her to pick the call or throw the thing away quickly before they all became deaf.

But surprisingly, while they grudgingly maintained silence, the last straw that broke the camel’s back was when she answered the call. She screamed on top of her voice, like someone who had just been bitten by a snake. A stainless cup placed at the edge of a table could fall, from the vibration of her voice that evening.

Apparently, she had been expecting a call from the person but, perhaps the person delayed. Thus, she kept shouting, which was to the dismay of everyone in the bus, such that people sitting close to her had to touch her to take it easy. Such is the discomfort people go through sometimes, with the impolite way some people use their phones, especially in public.

No doubt, the advent of mobile phone is remarkable and one would not imagine a world without this technology. For example, Nigeria that has a population of about 180 million people has over 155 million active subscribers, as of January 2017 and the users cut across age groups and class. That is how much it has been received and the acceptance in other parts of the world is similar.

Given its wide acceptance, findings have shown that there are many impolite things people do with mobile phones that could inconvenient others. This means that even though it is a personal property, it does not mean it can be used anyhow. Thus, it has become imperative to look at telephone etiquette tips:

Keep your ringtone volume considerably low: The essence of having a ringtone is to alert the owner of a call or message, but when it gets to a level where the volume or loudness of the ringtone makes people around uncomfortable, it is deemed an uncivilised way to use a phone. Like the woman who rattled everyone in the bus, some do it with no intention to inconvenient others, but some, especially younger people, do it thinking people around would enjoy their ringtones and accord them some respect, especially when they use trending songs or the tone is synonymous with a respected brand. It should be noted that in civilised gatherings, blasting music in the name of ringtone is an easy way to get people to look down on you and see you as uncultured. Therefore, think of others and keep the volume ‘considerably’ low always.

Mind your speaking volume and keep it down: It is entirely understandable for people to shout on the phone when they are angry or when in a noisy place. Almost everybody is guilty of the former. But inasmuch as that is excusable, occasionally, it remains an inappropriate way to use a phone and it is a good way to constitute public nuisance. Apart from the fact that one could give away information to the wrong persons, it could also portray such person as a troublemaker and an aggressive fellow. During phone conversations, people are therefore advised to keep their voice down, especially when in the midst of people, so that you do not carry everybody along in a supposed private conversation and so you don’t disturb others. Even though front desk officers in corporate organisations are trained to do this, experts say people could borrow a leaf from them.

Take permission before putting call on hold: Sometimes, one could have a call waiting while on another call, and in some cases, the incoming call is also important and should not be missed, possibly. However, instead of dropping the subsisting call abruptly, experts say it is more appropriate to take permission from the person to take the other call, and the person must give consent. Without giving out unnecessary details, people are also advised to say why the other call is also important. And when you put someone on hold, let it not exceed few seconds so the person doesn’t drop the call in anger. They said people should avoid saying “Let me call you back, I have another call,” as this could make the person on the previous call feel slighted and unimportant. Therefore, people should be treated as if their call is also as important. “Wisdom is essential,” one of them said. A post by Lehigh University in the United States says, “When putting a caller on hold, always ask permission. Examples: “Would you mind holding while I check?” or “Can you hold briefly while I see if Mr. Jones is available?” And when taking a caller off hold (or when you are to call back), always thank them for holding.”

Learn to use the ‘Silent’ and ‘Vibrate’ option: During formal gatherings, like meetings, dinners, seminars, conferences, or when in the library or a ‘quiet zone,’ it is inappropriate to allow your phone to ring out, especially when everyone had been told to put their phones off. Instead of making yourself a centre of unpleasant attention, if the phone rings accidentally, either ‘vibrate’ or ‘silent’ options should be used. According to career experts, at such gatherings, when the phone is on vibration, it should not be left on the table so that it doesn’t distract others when it vibrates. Also, when the phone is on silent, keep it away from others so the phone’s lights do not distract them if you have a call or message.

Know when not to receive a call: Etiquette experts have advised that it is wrong to answer calls when in a meeting, unless the rules guiding the meeting allow it or the call has to do with the meeting. They also said that if the call is so important, such a person should take an excuse before answering the call, and not after saying hello. If it is a private meeting, like involving just two or three people, experts said it is better to inform the others you are expecting a call.

Let people know when they are on speaker: People tend to put a call on speaker when in a noisy place, and that is partly understandable. Even though people are advised not to put their calls on speaker in places like dinners or corporate social gatherings, as it could be disgusting to others and portray such a person as uncultured. But beyond these, experts have said that if you are not alone when receiving the call, it is better to tell the other person he or she is on speaker and that you are not alone. This, according to them, is for the other person to be conscious of their language and the things they say.

Be polite to unknown callers: No doubt, people have preferred ways of talking to friends, colleagues and family members on the phone, but when talking to strangers, experts advise that they should be polite and receptive, unless they have reasons or suspicions to act otherwise. It is not uncommon for people to answer calls from unknown persons and say things like, ‘Yes, who are you?; Hello, who is that, or what do you want?; Who gave you my number?” etc. People are advised to start each conversation with a greeting, when the call is about to end, mentioning the person’s name, of course with the appropriate title, helps to enhance your image in the face of the other person.

Avoid long voicemails: This might not be very common in this part of the world, as people prefer to call back or send a message when the person is not available. But it is still an option some embrace. Therefore, for the people who do it, a career coach, Barbara Pachter, told Business Insider that such messages should be short, straightforward and more importantly, let the receiver know why you called. Pachter noted that if you have to dictate numbers, you should do so slowly, so the person would find it easy to retrieve.

Don’t delay answering calls unnecessarily: Some people deliberately delay in answering calls, and in some cases, it could be understandable, so as not to appear desperate. But inasmuch as that has its merits, experts have advised that the delay should not take forever, because the person calling could also lose interest and terminate the call.

Don’t end calls abruptly: Etiquette experts have advised that people should not end calls unless both of them have impliedly finished with their conversation. People consider it a rude act to terminate calls prematurely, hence, ending every conversation with “bye” might be the way to go.

Know when not to use a phone: Given that certain interactive features now come with mobile phones, people use it anywhere and anytime, including when driving, eating, resting, walking, especially in a crowded place and while in the toilet. But according to etiquette and safety experts, using a phone during some of these activities is very wrong and dangerous, especially when driving, walking on the main road and when in certain premises where it is strictly prohibited.

5 Everyday Habits That Cause Sagging Br.easts


We all know that with age br.easts become a little less perky. Unfortunately, b,reas tissue ages two to three years faster compared to the rest of the body, as revealed by a recent study published in the journal Genome Biology. While there isn’t much you can do about the genetic factors, there are still steps you can take to keep your pair from sagging prematurely.

By avoiding some everyday habits, you can do your part in keeping b.reasts young-looking for as long as possible.

1. Wearing a bra that doesn’t fit
This habit is more common that one would think. Most bras are made of flexible materials, and over time with normal wear, they will eventually stretch out. But the bra’s primary purpose is to give support. Wearing an ill-fitting bra can contribute to b.reast sagging as the more your br.east bounce around, the more stressed bre.ast skin and collagen become. You need to figure out what your bra size is, so that the cups adequately hold your br.easts. About 80% of women are wearing a bra that is not their perfect fit, so make sure you get measured, which can be easily done in a lingerie shop.

There is a discussion going on about the pros and cons of wearing a bra, and I have covered this in one of my previous post about the suggested link between br.east cancer and bras. Aside from the scientific debate, what both groups agree on is that you should wear a properly fitted bra.

2.Smoking
Smoking makes the skin lose its natural elasticity, which causes the b.reasts to drop. It reduces the amount of collagen in the skin and worsens the blood circulation. This makes the skin become weaker and age faster.

Smoking causes a lot of other health issues and you can see for yourself what happens to your lungs if you smoke only 60 cigarettes. If you are a smoker, then I have 5 natural ways to help you quit smoking – they are all scientifically proven.

3.Crash dieting
Having a balanced diet is very important to the health of your b.reasts. Yo-yo dieting that makes you lose vast amounts of weight quickly, only to put it back on later, puts a strain on your skin tissue. Repeatedly losing and gaining weight has been shown to make your bre.asts drop. The skin tissue stretches to accommodate the weight gain, but it can’t indefinitely snap back into place when the weight comes back off again. So try to maintain a steady weight or a proper nutrition in a healthy, sustainable way.

If you want to lose weight, you can read my 9 secrets on how to lose weight without diet and 12 simple tweaks for weight lossand you can also read my ultimate guide on how to lose weight and get rid of your belly in my e-book Blast Your Belly Fat.

4.Not protecting yourself from the sun
B.reasts, and cleavage in particular, can get burnt easily and they absorb their share of the sun’s UV rays. This can damage the skin, make it wrinkle and age prematurely. Protect yourself from the sun and don’t over-expose your skin. Also, sunscreens are not the magic solution and I have written before about the potential chemical dangers that lure in some sunscreens, especially the high-factor ones.

5.Not exercising and adopting bad posture

It’s important to exercise and keep your chest muscles strong. However, some back-and-forth repetitive motions (like in running) can make your bre.asts go saggy, as they breakdown br.east collagen. Make sure you support your br.easts during a high-impact exercise session and pay attention to your posture throughout the day. Walk straight and make your br.easts stand up proudly. You can easily improve your posture by doing the following exercises to improve your posture.
