Donjazet2:
Izzuo, do you still think that rallies are useless and meaningless??

Do you still think that massive rallies like these are meaningless??

Because I know how crazy I feel seeing pictures of thousands of people in places like plateau and Niger state.

It means that the message is resonating and spreading like wildfire.

Especially when you know that EVERY SINGLE PERSON out there came out there with their own money and time to do this and without financial or selfish inducements. These people are passionate about retrieving power from the ruling class and Changing the political terrain.

So I ask again izzuo, do you think rallies are meaningless and not morale boosters?

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, your darling LASTMA officials who in collaboration with the Lagos State Government, recently auctioned off people's vehicles for driving one-way against traffic.

And no be say them self no dey break the law. I can even understand for those that take one way on highways and proper Express getting stiff punishments but on street corners. Give me a break

Oya see this one now. Lastma truck gangan. Who are they auctioning this van to bayi

A40:
You mean with all the monies these people are sharing in Alausa and extorting from citizens and motorists

They can't put signs like this? That's ordinary Vietnam. Now megacity una no fit put simple signage

"Where is the One-Way signage? Show me the One-Way signage..."

This is what LASTMA officials do in Lagos. This is how they enforce traffic laws in Mafia-style. They could have confiscated this man's vehicle and then auctioned it off.

Think about it because e fit be you. pic.twitter.com/RQuWMFRGYk

You can see these shitfvcks in action as usual

GloriousGbola:
Toyota corolla. No be izzou be this trying to make quick money for weekend?

A40:
They're running organized and institutionalized theft

When you drill it down most of these offenses are drivers passing back streets somewhere in Mushin or Ifako Ijaiye with little or no signage. Maybe a road being constructed and motorists passing adjoining streets.

They just wait ready to pounce on unsuspecting motorists. No road signs. Nothing.

You will hear these things and they will paint it like the person was driving Anini style on Sagamu-Benin expressway

Donjazet2:
To whom it may concern.

The Yorubas feel they should rally around Tinubu

The Igbos feel they must rally around Obi

And these two tribes are expecting the Northerners to rally around any of them, as if they don't have Atiku there. [/color]

GloriousGbola:
the interesting thing though is that it is probably being done in conjunction with some people in the vicinity.

otherwise someone will capture them on camera when the removal is going on.

BlueRayDick:
I agree with you that government has to do more about road construction and traffic management. I also know how terrible that Lagos-Badagry expressway can be. I had a personal experience there ; my driver like myself was oblivious of how bad some portions of the road can be on the way to Agbara; we didn't follow other cars to join one-way instead we followed trucks who were maintaining the normal route. Long and short of it, the car got stuck in a bad portion of the road and a truck had to pull it out for us after we parted with cash.

GloriousGbola:
i think the bridge is operational. i was in marina over the weekend

a new bridge will take anything from 6 months with a lot of inconvenience.

they are building a link bridge from second rainbow to orile and it has been on for two to three months now.

one way is not just about bad roads it is also about a refusal to wait through any traffic jam up.

Theflint1:
It will get to this eventually

A state where LASTMA officials invent ways to trick drivers into committing traffic offences is where people think it's okay to introduce these kinda draconian laws. Some of these persons that had their cars auctioned already served 3-year prison sentences for their "crimes" only to come out and have their cars auctioned for peanuts. Where is it head of, that a 3-year prison sentence is an appropriate punishment for traffic offences like driving one way or on okada?

Well, Shettima don talk say na Buhari/Abacha regen Tinubu be, so no surprise.

BlueRayDick:
I do not fancy APC's style of governance either in Lagos and at the federal level , but that being said some Nigerians can be so reckless and by passing one-way and I think they deserve this type if that is what it takes to have a sane society.

I know our politicians, military personnel and VVIP's break the law by following one-way thereby leaving behind bad examples, but we citizens too have our part to play in obeying the laws. A lot of people have been killed by vehicles (Both private and commercial ones) following one-way.

I remember a personal experience on the day of Chelsea vs Arsenal FA cup final 2020. I was at a friend's place and we went to watch the final at a bar not far from his house. While coming back and joyfully discussing Arsenal's victory, we attempted the cross the road opposite his house after looking well in all directions. A Keke came from nowhere following one-way and hit my friend from behind; it took only a second for me to hold and drag him hand while he was almost going to the floor to be stepped on by an on-coming vehicle. The unfortunate Keke didn't even stop but was looking for an exit route at the next junction. I sprinted up to his postion while he was navigating his way and descended on him with serious Vawulence. Unfortunately for him egbon adugbos wey know my guy and those we don buy drinks before dey junction. I'm damn sure that guy would never pass one-way in his life cos aside from few blows and slaps here and there; he also paid for cost of treating my guy.

These people passing one-way are menace and should be condemned too just like we condemn our wicked politicians. Because of those people I don't even cross normally, rather I look here and there and then still have it at the back of my mind to expect the unexpected from any angle.

Can someone make it clearer

etc etc etc

When Nigerian Mopil form come out I will buy one for him.

Donstan18 is one of those we need to fight civil unrest and insecurity

DeadPresidents:
I don’t think XD is boring. I actually enjoyed working with XD (when i still fooled around with design)

I think the web-first nature of Figma was the game changer tbh. If you have a modern browser, you’re already good to go. Can’t get much better than that.

By the time Adobe figured this was the killer, it was too late, Figma had the market in a death grip already

drisham:
Omo i saw the annoying news

I pray it doesn't happen abeg

DeadPresidents:
Adobe just threw in the towel. This means Adobe XD is a dead product. Figma is the winner and the winner takes it all.
