Hmmm yes from experience

i agreed with those elderly friends. high % like 65 even more will do anything!!!!!!!!!!! women love to be independent and not dependent they love life and many would not let this snap outta their faces. the bags the shoes the Owambes all gone because she is preserving a used kitten? afterall the husband wont even know if such things occur


first to comment dancing Obesere!

Eko Ile show us the pictures to Fashola schools na.

My conclusion is that Fashola only performs in easily noticeable things like roads and flowers. People should visit Lagos public schools!!!!!! Fashola s a fraud!!!!!

Atleast 300k to live ok. Any less na managing.

Lagis don't need to ban danfo but license other buses. Pple should have choices.

I think it has to do with how you pple settle the phcn guys and nearness to major phcn installation

nice idea but thousands will be rendered jobless again?
besides this cant work in Nigeria

she can do a registry marriage and the guy will bring her traditional marriage list. it wont cost much.

"parking fees are normal everywhere" some people are fools. you compare yourself to Americans? greatest joke of the centuries. maybe youve forgotten that Americans dont fuel their gens they dont have one they dont change their cars shock every month because of bad roads they have good hospitals they have good public pry and high school where you virtually pay nothing(how many people in Nigeria can leave their children to go to public primary school? you have to send your children to private schools and pay exorbitant fees) after all these you still pay about 10 dollars/day to shop and visit the cinema?

i am a doctor but i'm in IT i dont practise . non of my children's children will ever study medicine. with this approach of govt . medicine will become less attractive to the intelligent ones and be left for mediocres and who will suffer me and you

I know the doctors will not make unreasonable demands. If government really cares about its citizens then they should have addressed the situation. Instead they government abandoned lagosians to suffer. Imagine I had an appointment with a Urologist in LASUTH. The total cost of the operation was about 37000. Now that they are on strike.to use same surgeon I will have to part with about 350000 which I don't have. Now who's suffering. Na we the patients ooooo. Fashola is a mad man

Even if they want to go on strike. The emergency room and the clinic should not be left unmanned and they should be seen as reluctant to go on strike by extending the ultimatum given. With that people will know they value life.

wait until segun agbaje destroys the GTbank

kaysy: Nairaland Moderators are being partial, how did this make the front page? i just don't understand

Well RIP to Tayo we really miss him, though i was a staff of GTB when he died and we mourned him for weeks, all i use to remember him now is the T-shirt that was shared among us in memory of Tayo.

GTB.... Nigeria's most influential Bank... for most influential people.

they are not being partial, they have the right to choose whatever they put on the homepage

This Man is no man of God. He is a man of business This is part of the sign of the last days. false prophets that will act in ways that may even deceive the chosen ones. his followers have lost the power to reason. i pity the fools that call him man of God. This man is no man of God but Satan

The Lagos State government may soon ban commercial motorcycle operators, also known as okada riders, in the state and restrict them to rural areas following their alleged involvement in armed robbery attacks and other vices.

The 32-member committee set up by Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State to look into the menace posed by okada riders in the state has passed a vote of no confidence on them.

The committee submitted its report yesterday and came out with a damning report on okada riding, saying that its disadvantages far outweigh its advantages.

The Chairman of the Committee, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, Olusegun Kazeem, was about to read the full recommendation of the committee to the governor and others present when Fashola passed a note to him to stop.

Kazeem noted that while a recommendation for an outright ban of operators in the state seemed to be the best bet to address the menace posed by operators, the challenges of transportation the development would pose in some parts of the state was to be taken into consideration.

The chairman, who did not read the committee’s recommendation, has given signal that okada riding might be ban outrightly from the city and restricted to rural areas where there are transportation difficulties.

He stated that research had shown that the vibration caused while riding on okada could lead to impotence in men and that the helmet worn by several people was a source of spreading diseases and had serious health implication.

According to the chairman, “Economically, okada has become a lucrative business for its operators who have in turn become very reckless and impossible to control with flagrant disregard for law and order.”

He said the committee also discovered that undue influence and interference was always brought on law enforcement agents by some influential people, thus thwarting attempts to enforce the law.

Kazeem stated that because the majority of the commercial motorcycle operators were migrants from other states who have no accommodation or shelter before coming to Lagos State, they have constituted nuisance in several neighbourhoods.

He said that the operations of the commercial motorcyclists had security and health implications, adding that 17 out of every 20 robbery cases are carried out by commercial motorcyclists.

“Between January and November 2011, 492 robberies were committed by commercial motorcyclists while in the month of November alone, 79 armed robbery cases by okada operators were reported.”

The chairman disclosed that 1,908 commercial motorcycles were apprehended in October for traffic violations while in October and November 179 cases of accidents were recorded at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) Ikeja with 170 of them being passengers on okada.

He said records at the Accidents and Emergency Centre at the Lagos Ibadan Toll gate showed a total of 41 cases of Okada accidents between the same period while in the 20 General Hospitals across the state 1,039 accidents cases involved okada riders.

He explained that the engines of the commercial motorcycles are a source of noise and air pollution which is also contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer, stressing that there is a need to embark on quick action to reduce the pollution level.

Kazeem said the committee was convinced that the disadvantages of the operation of the commercial motorcyclists far outweighs the advantages since the injuries and crimes associated with its operation could not be compensated for.

“The incalculable cost of loss of lives, injuries and crimes cannot in any way be compensated by its economic benefits. It is the contention that the government must be ready to forgo the revenue accruing from issuing licenses and riders’ cards to operators in order to seriously confront the menace of motorcycle operators,” he stated.

Receiving the report, Fashola said the State Executive Council would deliberate on it and implement the recommendations of the committee, while appealing to residents to be vigilant, watchful and to report all suspicious movements to the security agencies.

“It is very essential that in terms of vigilance, we must increase our power of observation. We must be able to say details like complexion of a particular person, his height, shape and other characteristics.

“Members of the Neighbourhood Watch must remain vigilant to notice and report unusual happenings and occurrences in the various communities which may signpost major problems,” Governor Fashola advised, adding that his administration would do its best to ensure that law abiding people in the state go about their businesses without any form of molestation.

Nigeria has bad road , its unfortunate GEJ

hercules07:
Let them pay the toll jare or go by public transport, how do they expect the government to survive if they do not pay the toll, a 120 Naira or 240 Naira toll per day equates 5K per month, if you have no business leaving your area do not, do not add to congestion on the roads abeg.

very good but consider a friend who got a land in Epe and was able to erect a BQ but works in MArina when all the 3 tolls are fully functional ,my guy will be paying 900naira per day and 4500 per week abt 20k per month and with fuel increase?

[size=16pt]my people, we need to think really deep. there is nothing wrong with tolling for example if you are going to ikeja from mile 2 ,you can pass airport and pay toll or pass thru oshodi and avoid tolls. in this case no alternative and the money goes to TINUBU.the projected revenue is 1billion per month .that's 12 billion per year and for 30 years its 360 billion. all to tinubu [/size]

its too cumbersome
