Your suggestion makes sense, but I think the reason that people are opposed to it is because of the crazy drivers we have here.

I'll give you an example. There are zebra crossings and speed bumps before the two roundabouts at either end of the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge. A sane person would slow down in order to safely go over the speed bump, give way to pedestrians on the zebra crossing and go round the roundabout. Unfortunately there are very few sane people in Lagos. I see quite a lot drivers accelerate as they approach the speed bumps, in order to demonstrate that their car is capable of jumping over the bumps. Sometimes it seems as if their intention is to kill any pedestrian they see on the zebra crossing and unfortunately there have been too many Saturday mornings that I've seen cars that have plunged into the roundabout or smashed into the wall beside the roundabout because they've been trying to go round at full speed.

I think this is why some people are opposed to your suggestion.

Zebra crossing on expressway?

eltata:
I beg your pardon,, zebra crossing on a trunk A road not even speed bumps,, the solution here is to segment the overhead walk way by dividing it into two halves, those coming from the left side take right segment and vice versa on a single line.

He's not able to say much for now because of the witch-hunting of the Buhari-led Government.

The ECOWAS COURT OF JUSTICE has given so many judgments in the past. These are its challenges:::
1. The court is an abnormal court. It is a trial court of first instance but also a final court because there is no appellate court or chamber. If it makes mistakes or the judges act arbitrarily, there is nothing a litigant can do.
2. It solely interpretes the law, including the law that grants it jurisdiction. In situations where a litigant disagrees with its interpretation of the law, there is nothing he or she can do.
3. ECOWAS court, like other regional courts, operates on the principle of litigants fully exhausting domestic or local remedies as a basis for assuming jurisdiction. But, this court acts as a busy body. It is too anxious to assume jurisdiction in the most trivial of cased. Member countries should device means to curtail this unmerited exuberance.
4. This court has no enforcement mechanisms or powers. To enforce its decisions, it relies on the goodwill of the governments and judiciaries of member states. As it is now, the court is on collision course with Nigeria.
5. Taking an overly activist stand could jeopardise the independence, integrity and longevity of the court. For it to succeed, it needs to navigate its path adroitly. For now, dark clouds are gathering and a storm is an expected corollary

Grazing reserves had been established in Nigeria in the early 60's and 70's , It was sponsored by the USAID and it worked effectively until resources started dwindling due to our poor maintanance culture


So, The previous reserves were located in Jos , Kastina , among other places equipped with earth dams, plains , fire breaks e.t.c. and It never led to the complete islamization of the North


Why are ibos always complaining ? I am sure the new bill will not site any grazing lands anywhere near the ss,se or nd , and even if it does they will be on their ranch a fenced and gated community not roaming around anywhere


So why are you really opposing this bill ? You don't want them in one stop you don't want them to roam free , WHAT THE FACCK DO YOU IBOS WANT ??

Cattle rearing has not been commandeered by fiat as belonging to the FG. It is business by private persons who make their money for their personal consumption and at their discretion. Therefore they must acquire business concerns and dwelling places as private individuals seeking to do business and not by force of law.

The role of government should be policies favourable to agriculture such as interest free loans and enabling business environments for more modern methods. That the law has been since the 70s doesn't make it good law.

Trade and commerce are the forte of the Igbo. Have you heard of any law for mandatory provision of shops and lands for their business? Did any govt in Lagos give an Igbo man free land? At least they contribute their quota n pay taxes...can u guarantee same from itinerant cattle rearers?

The FG cannot forcefully convert people's land for cattle rearing. If it most be done then they should limit it to the NE and NW. Coming down to any other part has to be as responsible business people minding their businesses and for delivery of goods. As destructive as they are u really think having the backing of FG compulsorily acquired lands and so called grazing routes will not increase their feeling of invincibility?

Audu is importing grasses to be planted, they have large expanses of arable land so they should limit their grazing reserves to their areas.

I can boldly tell you ojota pedestrian bridge is strong to hold the traffic

Crossing that ojota-ikorodu road without using the bridge is not the best expecially during the rush hours

meolaniyi:
I don't see anything wrong in the bill. Everybody has right to live in any part of the country.

Fulani herdsmen are not as bad as the way Igbos are painting them. If you leave Lagos, Fulani can then leave your land.

I started reading with the mindset that hmmm lai mohammed will surely say something about past administration

blackpanda:
But you guys were the ones who hailed saraki that members of the NA are only answerable to themselves and not the party leadership. Well, this is the result when party leadership cannot whip erring members to fall in line. Do not blame apc, blame the greed of the individual members of the appropriation committee.
It will be a big mistake for the President to sign that rubbish unimplementable document!

DaBullIT:
you people just don't quit so you want more analysis?

what do you mean ? Jona was there for six years,he did nothing !!!!!!!!!

omenka:
Eyaa. Sometimes I don't really blame these guys.

Retirement in the Nigerian system is something every civil servant, especially the low ranking ones, dread. Whereas, in civilised societies, they anxiously look forward to it.
