🇫🇷 Mass riots escalating across France

Despite bans on gatherings outside closed lycées, clashes with police have continued since morning in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Rennes, and other cities.

More than 400 schools are fully closed today over damage and threats to staff. Pupils… pic.twitter.com/tmadn01Cgm

By this logic all Christians are terrorists because some Christian pastors are on the internet telling women they’re evil for not tolerating abuse from their husbands.

You must be a terrorist too.

Heavenly Father, Jehovah, I know You neither sleep nor slumber, but I just want to remind you of your covenant for Israel. Your people are facing many existential threats. They are not just in the midst of archenemies in the middle east alone but they are hated all over the world. Father, I know you are aware of everything— nothing is hidden before you. Our Lord and Savior, the Lion of Judah, roar in anger and devour all your enemies, and trouble those who are troubling Israel.

God bless Israel.
God bless Nigeria.
God bless Yoruba land.

Amen.

Ai has killed the reading culture of many people. They depend solely on it. AI is also wrong sometimes.

AI will make things easier but will cause more harm.

I still don't know profession AI can not capable of replacing going by rate at which scientists are developing AI in different fronts.

The onus lies on political leaders to bring out policies to coordinate and regulate activities of AI developments globally, just like they did in Atomic bomb.

Unfortunately, mad man America voters entrusted their leadership in, talking thrash when they asked for AI regulations.

But wait oh, why are a lot of young guys always having problems with police?
A lot of them lose it immediately they sight policemen, it makes no sense.

Highest, just give them few rubs without them asking and they won't disturb you.
Whether it's the drugs they're using that is making them have unnecessary scenarios in their minds I don't know.

Why will you sight a policeman and be shaking or feeling fear?

If you know how to compose yourself and also respect yourself, you'll never have problems with the npf.

I think we need to be careful about the argument that “the demarcation will simply overload the Niger Bridge.” That statement, on its own, is not enough to condemn the project.

As a structural engineering principle, any permanent addition to a bridge introduces additional dead load. Whether that load is significant or insignificant cannot be determined by simply looking at the barrier. An engineer would need to know the weight per metre, how it is connected to the deck, where the load is transferred, the condition of the existing structural members and, most importantly, the bridge's remaining load capacity.

In fact, bridges around the world use physical median barriers.

Take the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It has a movable median barrier separating opposing traffic, and the barrier system itself consists of steel-clad units filled with concrete. The bridge was specifically assessed and engineered for the additional system.

So the argument should not be “barriers on bridges are dangerous.” They are not inherently dangerous.

The more important question is:

Was the First Niger Bridge structurally assessed and was the additional dead load of this particular demarcation incorporated into the rehabilitation design?

Because there is a major difference between installing a barrier on a bridge that has been structurally assessed for it and simply placing substantial concrete elements on an ageing bridge without demonstrating the available load capacity.

And there is another issue people are overlooking: traffic loading is not just about the weight of the divider.

A bridge is designed for combinations of dead load and live load — vehicles, including heavy trucks, buses and other traffic. The arrangement of those vehicles across the lanes matters. Engineering studies have shown that congestion and the positioning of heavy vehicles can significantly affect bridge loading.

So if you reduce the usable carriageway and squeeze traffic into narrower lanes, particularly on a bridge carrying heavy commercial traffic, you also need to consider how that changes vehicle distribution and loading.

And then there is the practical safety issue.

What happens when a truck breaks down?

What happens when there is an accident?

Where does a stranded vehicle go?

Where does a towing truck pass?

How does an ambulance or emergency response team get through?

A physical divider may improve lane discipline and prevent head-on collisions, but if it leaves inadequate refuge or emergency access, then the traffic-management solution can create another safety problem.

Again, the Golden Gate Bridge provides an interesting example. Its barrier system was not installed in isolation. It is part of a broader traffic-management system, with different lane configurations, emergency response arrangements and operational procedures.

So personally, I wouldn't say:

“Remove the demarcation because it will collapse the bridge.”

That is too simplistic.

I would ask the government and the engineers responsible for the rehabilitation to publish the engineering basis for the decision:

1. What is the additional dead load of the demarcation per metre?
2. What is the total additional load over the bridge?
3. What was the assessed load-carrying capacity of the existing bridge before installation?
4. What is the remaining capacity after the addition?
5. Were the deck, girders, connections and foundations checked?
6. Was the condition of the old steelwork and concrete considered?
7. What provision has been made for broken-down vehicles and emergency evacuation?
8. What happens when a heavily loaded truck is stationary beside the barrier?
9. Has the reduced lane width been assessed for the size and volume of trucks using the bridge?

Those are the questions that should be answered by the structural and highway engineers — not social media arguments about whether concrete “looks too heavy.”

The First Niger Bridge is an important piece of infrastructure. We should welcome measures that improve safety and traffic management, but because it is an ageing bridge undergoing rehabilitation, every additional permanent load and every change to its traffic configuration should be backed by calculations and a documented engineering assessment.

If the engineers have done the calculations and the bridge has adequate reserve capacity, then show Nigerians the assessment. If it has not been assessed, then that is the real concern.

That, to me, is a much more reasonable engineering conversation than simply saying “demarcation will overload the bridge” or “demarcation cannot affect the bridge.”

Because in structural engineering, we don't guess load — we calculate it.

No be laughing matter, we have serous serious problems in this country. A man can not give you what ha does not have. A criminal in a suit or agbada sitting as an elected official is still a criminal. You can put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig. One thing most criminals have in common is that they do not have shame or honor. When you look at NFF officials and the people in government in Nigeria you can see that 95 percent of them have no shame or honor. Nothing about Nigeria surprises me anymore. When the populace finally decides that they are tired of the nonsense going on in that country they know what to do. You carry people who you will never hire to work as a receptionist in your company give power to make critical decisions that will impact you and loved ones because of tribe Religion and you expect miracles to happen. I was in Nigeria last year and the level of poverty i saw was devastating. One day i was coming out my house and i saw this boy who was just a kid in the neighborhood eating some rotten food in my trash. I started crying, i took him to chicken republic and feed him. I then took him to the market where I bought food items for him and his family. We have the worst life expectancy in the world and we are an OPEC member country. You keep electing criminals who steals away your future and dangles tribalism, Religious bigotry and the populace continue to fall for it.

I will never understand these people.

Despite all the evidence Soludo and the Anambra government has provided, despite the fact that they can use their own mobile apps to check the name of the account Obi provided as "savings account", despite all of this and plenty of other evidence including the clever and insincere confession of Obi that the allegations are true, they still insist the Soludo is the one telling lies....is this really love or witchcraft?
