gratiaeo: Wonders shall never end, the offender wielding the big stick on the defenseless when in fact should be the one on its toes..impunity everwhere..
And APC wants to take power over from the centre where they can not fix a common school at the heart of their own government instead they removed the head of the school for allowing the Nigerians to see their hypocrisy outside..There more rotten schools in lagos than anywhere around south west states..Too much media hype about the achievement of tom boy Fashola is beginning to show up..

I told you earlier that this Lagos is Working Phrase of thing is a hype.

A governor that does not want to see a poor person on the road...both private, dispatch riders and commercial Okada. (even God who created us made allowance for the existence of the poor, yet the thieves who stole all the money meant for all of us does not want to see us, we huslers.

A governor who chases away the hawkers without alternative markets... build the market and let it out to the rich thieves...

A government who will tell you to go back to your village even when you genuinely made mistakes that is deemed flouting... or is there any LASTMA that will voluntary tell you to reverse and go round if you are in a wrong direction unknowingly? Nigerians travel abroad and about five to ten years, they became qualified citizen and are respected as such, yet a governor in Nigeria will tell you to go back to your village even after you have spent the best part of your live contributing to the state, you are still a villager..


A government who mandates that all new entrants into Taxi business in Lagos must come into it with a brand new car or forget about taxing in Lagos... but must buy their car in their own company at outrageously high price...

The new law coming now is that vulcanisers are not to be allowed at road side any longer... (are they to vulcanise from their rooms?)

I tell you, if APC takes over the centre in 2015, all the POOR/HUSTLERS must be ready to take their flights to benin Republic as they will no longer be tolerated in Nigeria.

If you must vote, remember not to vote for a TYRANT/DICTATOR in a CIVILLIAN garb.

bloggernaija: Heartless?
No,
I am a lover of law and order and,
There is an economic side to this argument.
What about the widow who borrowed money from loan sharks to rent a shop at a ridiculous interest rate,pays taxes and is being undercut ?
People selling illegally by the roadside are daily undercutting those inside the market and car parks.
While those in the market pay daily taxes used to build roads ,bridges etc,
Those highway hustlers just get a free lunch.
A society without enforced rules and laws will simply whither and die.
The old Wild West around Texas had vengeance laws back in the days.
You kill my father , I kill you full stop.
The laws may look barbaric now but they were good enough to enforce order.
The choice of words by the governor was bad.
All agreed .
But his action was right on the dough .
THE LAW SIMPLY HAS TO BE BLIND.
you cannot take your jagbanjatise to the middle of Times Square and trlalsfagar square and start frying akara.
MY BET IS YOUR BUTTS WILL BE FRYING THAT AKARA IN LONG ISLAND PRISON BEFORE THE END OF THE NIGHT.

The lack of law and order is responsible for the present state of the country.
People pick and chose which laws to obey and which laws to break.
What is the difference between this woman and igbinedion.
If you are confortable with this civil crime ,then you are confortable with more serious crimes.
This is the very reason why igbinedion walked away with a slap on the wrist and ,
You are advocating the same for this woman.
You know the reason why nigeria is shitas?

YOU

If they are so passionate about enforcing the so-called blind law, why does it not start from the top?

Why do we still have president/ governor's convoy that kill people?

Why do we still have governor who choose which law to obey?

Don't forget your president came to power by sidelining a simple agreement, ehn?

If the woman had been the wife of a powerful suppoter of Oshio's party, would he still have the temerity to talk to her like that not to talk of insulting her?

The rotteness of a fish start from the head.

Let them start the cleansing from the TOP...

take dat: This is a country where N75billion was allocated for data capturing machines for voters registration, even after spending such an humongous amount and biometric data collection we still find ourselves in situations where names suddenly disappear from the voters register simply because some government officials are in the habit of tampering with it. How are we sure our thieving government officials won't manipulate our data/information to commit fraud? When bankers who are expected to abide by strict ethics connive with fraudsters to commit ATM fraud, why should I then trust our dishonest and ever-swelling cult of thieves in government?

Nigerians were promised 24/7 power supply since 2001. After a whooping $16b have been "paid into private pockets" , what do we have??.... DARKNESS!!
If you pay more for the darkness in your room, is it not better if you are without the so-called light??


$500m earmarked for national ID Card cannot be accounted for till today, yet we were compulsorily made to register for it. How many Nigerians got that National ID Card today? Yet no one, NO ONE among the THIEFFING RULERS dare ask questions about it...No one got punished...The money entered private pockets...


N750b data machine not utilized till today, did anybody ask questions about their where-about? (N750B!!) Whatever happens to the macchines... Don't be surprised they've all gone back to where they came from... What purpose were they imported for? DATA CAPTURING.
Are we not being made to pay for another data capture through the FRSC/ registration of our vehicles?


Do you expect me/us to believe a government who paid outrageous N1.3trillion for a subsidy tag of N240b or thereabout to thieves within the same year budgetted for, yet cannot jail a single one of them to carry out such a white elephant project without equally paying the money into the account of another set of BIG THIEVES?
They will soon tell us how many TRILLION/TRILLIONses are involved.

We dey watch sha ooo

Please don't post the pictures again....

lastpage: Those TOUTS work for Opeifa and Fashola and his God Father 'Tinubu' so nothing will be done about them.

It just amazes me when these clowns in govt just do a "COPY AND PASTE" of legislation from overseas, into Nigeria, not taking into consideration our "peculiar environmental issues" that differ greatly from where they are copying from and creates a different set of scenario, for such laws!

8-HRS working time is very desirable and is obtainable in most advanced countries but hey, those drivers can organize their 8-hrs properly,
They can predict their income almost to the last dollar for those 8-hrs
They dont have Agbero to contend with, within that 8-hrs
They dont have "official LGA Touts to deal with within that 8-Hrs
They dont have to spend half of that 8-hrs in unending traffic snarls
They dont have useless Policemen shooting at them with life bullets if they dont part with part of their 8-hr income
They have a "social benefit" system which cushions their income of 8-hrs, should the unexpected happen
Their "car-testing and certification" really works unlike ours where the Govt is only interested in the "Testing Fee" and nothing more!
They dont operate within a Govt that closes down their wife's stall and every opportunity the Governors wife farts or his cronies cough!

I can go on and on but it is not necessary.

Our leaders are past their sell-by date, not fit ofr purpose and completely EXPIRED!
8-hrs working time is not top of the list of this govts problem.

For emphasis, build more roads (not those one-season, rain-wash-away make-overs called roads) and open up access for smoother traffic
*Create alternative to road traffic, buod 4th mainland Bridge and other roads. Main Rail and Light rail inter-city systems is needed.
*Stop buying over-used and written-off Buses as new ones to be used as BRT. Buy good and new Buses as obtained abroad.
*Remove all your street urchins from the road.
*Lets have stable power as a priority and other things will follow.
FInally, stop arming thugs for your political rascality, it comes back to hurt the populace ... and your own family, if not you, as well.

I don commot this thread.

Lastpage!

On this particular issue, i think i fully agree with you LastPage...

Why did Fashola and his co-horts who have been preaching Lagos as a model not start "Social Security Benefit" the past thirteen years of their strangle hold on Lagos despite the astronomical rise in their IGR?
Everything they do is hardly in favour of the masses.
Opeifa compeled all Lagos Taxi users to buy taxi cabs from his own company's arrangement with a bank at a higher rate.
Opeifa condemed the use of Tokunbo vehicles for taxi because he has a company that sells new cars at cut-throat amount..

Though, agreed that Lagos no longer need molue for transportation, they were chased out of existence by a Lagos government that did not have a heart for them and the people who use them, only for all of us to be queueing up in the scorching sun sometimes in the rain on a daily basis, waiting for a BRT that is more or less a glorified molue that are not even readily available...

If BRT arrangement is actually for the masses, why was the Train banned from picking passengers at Oshodi, a bus stop that even expatriates know as one of the busiest bus stops in Lagos with the largest concentration of passengers, considering the fact that trains are the principal means of transporting large commuters?
Because BRT in those route will not make money for their owners, so the train was prevented from there.
Why did Lagos government not apply the same agression they visited on Okada and its riders on the Touts at every bus stops in Lagos...because somebody up there will need them when an election comes arround...

They will soon remind you that it is your CIVIC RIGHT to vote, but ask, why are they not telling you now that it is also your CIVIC RIGHT to benefit from all the good thing they and their families enjoys??

Because they don't have a heart for us but for their pockects...

I rejoice with you people myself...

Lesson there is to learn is that (those in position of authority) should endeavour to give our fellow Nigerians the opportunity to act.

You know what, all of us can perform if we are given the encouragement and motivation just as equal as it is being given to the white-skinned.

Eagles' Coach=== a National

Eaglet's Coach=== a National.

We pay white skinned in millions of $..... yet not all of them succeeds and we still kind of worship them.

We pay Nationals pea-nuts in valueless Naira, despite that, they are still achiving..

Shouldn't we start believing and trusting ourselves??

igbsam: These are the exhibits i was able to gather at the accident scene. Please for the safety of others and not yours, Do Not Drink & Drive, Do Not Smoke, Get High and Drive. If you want to die, please drive alone and make sure you head for the ocean alone. All this danfo drivers always do this stuffs without checking the work condition of their buses and then hit the road just like that putting everyone at risk. The bus must have been giving him signs even if the brake pad pulled out, but in a bid to make money asap, he cared less.


Drunk Driving is a crime.

When i see a scene like this especially that of an accident, i used to wonder if those drivers are actually not subject to road traffic laws.
Almost all the danfo drivers drove throughtout the day with recklessness. But what i found confounding is that they are hardly put in check by either Lastma or Police. Not even FRSC marshals question their speed on the road.
If you want to comfirm this, go and station yourself in front of Challenge Bus stop Mushin, you will see how these drivers drives past the so-called road safety marshals without the fear of being arrested for overspeeding.
May be because there is no speed limit in Lagos or is it because most of the Danfos in Lagos are owned by either the Police, Lastma, Army or a Naval officer.
With the knowledge that nothing can happens to them so long their owner is a uniform personel, they are at liberty to speed anyhow.
That is more reason their accidents are always a fatal one. They drives with hazard lights both day and night unchecked inspite of their "high" state.
Their owners also drive with impunity on the road. Check any danfo that parked at unauthorized place, he will be a uniformed person...

You know in Nigeria today, that god-fatherism is equal to impunity.
You dare correct any one of them, he will tell you he have been driving like that for 'hundred years'.

Yet, YET, all of us are saddled with their recklessness since our goverment also failed in that area as well.
May GOD in HIS infinite mercy always see us through our threatened daily activities....

I don't think it's out of place to ban their activities on the High-way....

My thought o.....

No, I did not see it.

Isn't it a scam afterall?

Banana is next to the Apple Fruit in terms of Vitamins and Minerals...

They are God's Good Gift to mankind..

Remember i told you that with a friend like the NP, you don't need an enemy.....?

They are your FRIEND INDEED!

Thank God i don't need a friend...

Retribution awaits...

Tolexander: She dey craze?

Why is she not expected to push? When the moto was moving, she was in enjoying and when the moto needs pushing she must be willing to do that and if she refuses, i will tell her to come down cos i want to push the moto to work. If it works, i won't allow her to enter and zoom off straight home.

You guys wicked small oo

Sagamite: You sure are stuuuuuuupid.

You have not heard of expo in Nigeria?

You have not heard of people sitting exams for others for a fee or sexual favours?

You have not heard of bribing examiners?

You have not heard of invigilating staff colluding with school staff to allow exam halls be discussion centres to assist their students to pass?

And you are wondering how they passed exams and graduated?

Dear Sagamite,

I used to think of you as a decent person.

Don't let me start having other thoughts.

Let us cultivate the habit of correcting a fellow without sounding abusive.

If you know better than me, kindly correct me when i'm wrong.

Nigeria have too much money to be poor.

Inspite of all the money, no social amenities, no social security, no job security. We work like slaves...

That is why there must be a revolution to wipe out these "thieves of Bagdad" we have at the top.

When we are pressed to the wall, surely there will be a tragic re-action. But for now, there is still "space for adjustment", that is why we are still like this.

I have said it a good number of times that Nigeria is a country of demented rulers whom we called leaders.

A country of never-do-wells whose only priority is to loot, deprive the poor of whatever is suppose to be for them.

Believe in Nigeria to your peril.

A country that kill dreams...

Whatever will happens to hundreds of thousands of workers who still plan their life on the stipend they get from their small-time job?

If there are leaders, or a leader in that country, i don't think this will happen.

Let's wait and see....

dolapobello1: I just heard on NTA right now, that two out of every three Nigerians is corrupt. I don't know how they got this fact, but I want to know if you agree with this. I f yes, kindly share your experiences and what you think may be the causes of this (eg poverty etc).

That survey is not comprehensive enough.

It should have been seven-out-of-eight Nigerian are corrupt.

What do you expect from a country that is AFRAID to punish the scoundrels in her?

Prayer for Nigeria? Which Country be that...where dream perishes...

oladimejiX: Mayhem On Third Mainland Bridge
Having the popularity as the longest bridge in west Africa or is it in Africa as a whole? whichever it is, third mainland bridge is many things to many people and to me its just a route i take to work every evening as a night shift nurse in a private hospital on Lagos island, but on this fateful day, third mainland bridge became known to me in a different dimension.

the day was a Saturday, the time was 10.00pm and i was already running late for my shift, i had barely reached the middle of the bridge when my car started making a funny sound, the last thing i needed was a broken down vehicle in the middle of the third mainland bridge at this time of the night, but like fate would have it, what i needed wasn't what i got, the car stopped abruptly and there i was sitting helplessly not knowing what to do, i wanted to come down but i didn't think it was safe for me as a lady to come down on the bridge at this time of the night, i called the driver of the hospital emergency bus, explained my situation to him, he agreed to come pick me up and so i waited , i didn't realize how dangerous my situation was until situation started unfolding before my eyes.About 30 minutes after my car broke down a large black SUV drove past me and parked some 200 meters away from my car, it didn't look like the car was faulty because no one came down, in all the time i,d been on the bridge not too many cars went past my car, my car window was tinted and i left no light on in the car so it must have seemed there was no one in my car. A loud bang soon shook me out of my drifting thoughts, i looked up and i saw a small car park slowly a few meters away from mine, a ,man came down looked at his car tires, he soon brought out tools and was soon busy working on his car tire.

i looked on and did not even entertain the thought of coming down from my car, minutes after a very large man came down from the large black SUV that had earlier packed in front of me, speaking of tall, the man was really tall and he walked purposefully towards the man that was bent over the car fixing the tires, he was followed by another man wearing a flowing white traditional looking attire, he soon got close to the man working on the car, the man working on the car looked up and something scary happened, the large tall man brought a large knife looking like a machete and with such lightning speed he cut off the head of the man working on the car, i froze in fear where i was, the man wearing white picked up the severed head of the man while the large man picked up the dead man and threw him in the lagoon below the bridge, they returned swiftly to the black SUV and sped off, all the while I'd been sitting up and watching, i immediately ducked placing my head on the passenger seat of my car wishing what i just witnessed was a dream, but it wasn't i was on the third mainland bridge and i was alone in broken down vehicle, a sudden knock on my car window immediately turned up my fear to a high volume as i thought the head hunters came back for me, the knocking increased in tempo, shaking all over i fearfully looked up and there he was, the driver of the hospital emergency bus.
this story has been rewritten in my own words to fictionalize it, but it is based on a true account of two witness before whom this incidence happened as narrated on a popular radio program in Nigeria
whether you choose to believe is up to you, but whatever you do be sure to open your eyes and be highly security conscious,
better to be safe than sorry
Culled from Gist&Rhymes

I choose to believe because i have seen badly a dismembered body before on Third Mainland Bridge.

On another ocassion, i help called Econent Wireless Emergency Rescue number with another person's line in order to rescue a man badly wounded as a result of gun shot after he managed to escape. Ikoyi Military Hospital Officers met us there and took the man away to their hospital. Time: 06:20hrs.

So you are right. Anything can happens to you on that bridge in the dead-of-the-night if you are stranded.

Avoid Crossing The Bridge Late In The Night Unless Of Course Your Car Is Still Doing Well.

hammedkola: ...and after reading all these, will my account balance appreciate to 7 figures upward

He has made it already, why worrying yourself...you too make your own

Did you hear yourself talk?

PITY...

That is why a break-through is very far from most Nigerians...

PITY...

If you can't beat them of a thing mentality...

Instead of thinking of crashing the slavery mentality system, some people are steading-up to hop into the band wagon.

PITY...

gerald09: I tot of using crowdsoures but sometimes they get false info, I want to provide Nigerians with real time even, I just purchased an item that make it possible to stream online while its happening, I hear most Nigerian big churches uses it.

That will be the best of all.

Even if they discover it and damage your phone, you must have got some hard-hitting evidence for a back-up.

Idi Amin: I hope you guys have jobs for all the police officers you caused their sack so far. They are people's fathers, mothers, brothers and breadwinners. I am not supporting corruption but how many of you have attempted to expose corrupt politicians, civil servants, bankers etc. An average Nigerian is corrupt so why emphasize on police alone

Let me ask you---are you a retired or serving policeman?

The great difference between the police and the politicians or bankers is that police will threatens you with a gun and it's on record that police have actually killed some people who refused to part with the bribe demanded.

For their threat to life, they are 100% rogues.

Codedeben: I'm afraid Men in black will start confiscating mobile phones now even when you're on calls and apparently not doing anything funny. The moment they see the camera facing them even from afar na gobe be that oo.
This latest trend would put more people in trouble. Both the culprit and the Innocent ones.

Then, if the police command is serious about its image, the order must go out that any policeman who shoot any motorist or anyone, maiming or killing whomever for that matter, by reason of being caught recording him on cell phone should just consider him/ herself dead after orderly room trial as that is tantamount to silencing the truth.

Even before that starts happening, we should device another method to fight these criminals disgracing us with the use of our phones...

lateef4me: With little understanding of Nigerian Labour laws,Access Bank cannot be held liable for whatever happens to these staff because the first basis is that there is no contractual relationship between them and Access Bank Plc ...

Whatever grievances they have ,should be channeled to their employer,not Access Bank .Notwithstanding ,we cannot and should not downplay empathy and emotions as these people are human beings with feelings ,emotions and reasonings .....

But if the 'contract-staff' defraud the their bank, who will they arrest, their out-sourcing company or the staff involved?

Boss13: We need to ask what the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) is doing. Those selfish bastards*. A Lot of Nigerian workers are doing overtime without any compensation. The labour law in this country is very weak and should be looked at. The Chinese too are also exploiting this.

Is there any labour law at all?

The law that is not labour-driven are not implimented, how do you expect labour laws to function?

Do they not know that ''contract-staffing'' is glorified slavery?

Rulers enslaving their subjects...

Nigeria is a DEAD country...

SLIDE waxie: that's is the point!
It happens everywhere!

Is police now a Lagos thing?
We all knw diverse people with diverse ethnicity are being posted to any state by the feds as a police officer!

i dnt get the point of the adjective- Lagos.
This is the Nigerian police. Lagos dnt own a police station, so is any other state.

i biliv we're not trying to say Fashola is the one asking them to extort people?

Do you still remember that police escalated the Boko Haram that Nigeria is saddled with today??

The people at the top will pretend they didn't hear us talk....

One person, i say only ONE PERSON started the Arab Spring....

Just about two weeks ago, a coporal shot and KILLED an ASP....

A day will come all of us will be pushed to that level where staying alive will not mean anything to us and there will be consequences...

If you are one of the ''TOPPERS'', a word should be enough for you....

Put the excesses of YOUR police in check now before it is too late...

You or your family might be the next to be consumed by your police because these so-called police are definitely not the people's police...

I talk my own now ooo..

elampiro: So why were some posters defending the pastor?

You dey mind them?
Yet dey say Vanguard Newspapers na lier?
Shallow reasoning et all..

Hello o Saheed Balogun... Isn't it possible to make amends among youselves and call your wife back for goodness sake and give these children the needed motherly and fatherly love?

Please do it, the two of you must swallow your pride for the sake of your chiildren. It is still better late than....
