Most of the facilities in the video look substandard. Awarding contracts should be for quality delivery, and not on man-know-man basis. I hope Anambra people will take advantage that they have a governor that is willing to develop the state and do the stuff that transform the state...

What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and he loses his soul. What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Hope those children are his. Most of the time a woman's hatred for her husband starts a long time before plot. The man must have ignored several signals. When you have such a wife, it is better not to strive with her - let her be.

How did you come about that? Just one day inspection and spurious figures start jumping out. Yet the incalculable loss of lives of peaceful protesters is yet to elicit a statement from the president. How much is a soul worth?

I think it is putting the hart before the horse. Granted that we have a lot of road users that are not disciplined. We also need to ask the government if they have done enough to control these excesses by installing visible road signs, traffic lights, public education, etc. In some areas in Lagos, only traffic officers know which road is one-way and otherwise. When there are visible road signs placed where people can easily see them and people still violate the instruction then government can exercise the rule of law albeit reasonably. I have heard of instances where there are no road signs or the road signs were cleverly hidden away in such a way that it would take a magician to notice there was anything like that on the road, and an innocent road-user committed an offence and was instantly arrested. It was like setting a trap and once the trap went off, you would see LASTMA coming out from their 'holes'. Very ridiculous.

When you give government agents this kind of opportunity in Nigeria, it is like giving a signed open check to an insatiable looter. The zeal with which they carry out this instruction will shock you just because of their personal benefits. very soon some LASTMA officer will commence their 100k contribution per day or month (?). The point is there is always a better way to stem public excesses than the use of force on those that have no voice. I am sure "big men" won't have problems coping because non of them will be arrested...

How do you expect the bridge to stand when there is no single reinforcement? Lord have mercy...
