The Chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (Aka MC Oluomo), has announced the introduction of the Bar Code to checkmate untoward activities among some commercial bus drivers.

According to him, the initiative will curb kidnappings and other criminal activities perpetrated by some commercial bus drivers.

Akinsanya said the issue of insecurity is a major concern to everybody and as stakeholders in the transportation sector, the agency cannot fold its arms and allow charlatans to turn their garages and parks into criminal hideouts.

“Our goal is to leverage technology to detect some criminal elements using our parks and garages to perpetrate crimes. We want to make our parks and garages as safe as possible. We will make the them hell for anyone with criminal intention,” he said.

He warned leaders of various parks and garages to weed out criminal-minded elements in their domains else would be held responsible for their actions.

Speaking on how the Bar Code works, Lagos State Parks and Garages Secretary, Comrade Olayiwola Lemboye, said commuters would download an app and scan the bar code on buses to confirm if they are safe for boarding.

“Once you scan the bar code on any bus, it will bring out certain information about the park or garage for commuters to determine if the bus is safe for boarding or not. For those who usually forget their ‘loads’ in the bus, the code will help passengers recollect the vehicle’s number plate and trace it to the park or garage such the vehicle operates from.

“We’re using this medium to urge the public to try as much as possible to key into this project because the bar code will assist in curbing the cases of kidnapping, theft and other societal vices people perpetrated with public buses. We are urging the public to just give us the benefit of the doubt on this project and key into it. It is for the good of all,” Lemboye said.

Mr Isaiah Arowolo from Dotmatech Technologies Limited, a firm handling the installation of the bar codes, said over 20,000 buses have been registered into a central database.

Arowolo said: “We have generated the QR code sticker for the 20,000 buses registered and the number is increasing daily. How does it work? We have a unique QR code sticker which will be on each bus; the commuters will download the app from the Playstore or Apple iOS. When they scan the code on the bus, information will be given to them on that particular vehicle including its number plate and the name of the secretary of the branch of that park or garage. The reason for that is just for them to have the history of the car or vehicle they board in a month or in a week or daily so that they can fall back to it and after one month.”

Your shoe size can tell your age.

Grab your calculator and try this: Here is
how it goes;
1. Take your shoe size.
2. Multiply it by 5.
3. Add 50.
4. Multiply by 20.
5. Add 1015
6. Minus the year you were born. You
will get 4 digits, the first 2 is your shoe
size and the second is your age.
Try it and lets see if am correct.
Leggoo!!

Do that and i will be the first one to slaughter you. I ain't even kidding. But why will you wanna commit an act of instigation and expect not to be attacked? I have never seen a group so afraid of muslims like the christians. They will come to the internet and spew vermin like they are ready for the third world war, but light up a firecracker near them and see how they scramble like coacroches. If you think all muslims are terrorists, what then does it change on the muslims. If on the other hand you have so much hatred for muslims(because of you of a wierd abnomality that you have), then i suggest you go to any muslim community near you and try what you listed above. If however you are genuinly concerned with differentiating muslims and criminal elements, then i would say i understand your concern as it is not easy, because as i type this, i can't see a kanuri man and not be afraid. The first thing to come to my mind is that he might be hiding some explosives somewhere, but still that doesn't mean all kanuris are terrorists. So you too have a right to be concerned, but this is not the way to show your concern. If that is the case, all Niger deltans are potential militants too, all igbos are potential seccesionists too, all christians are potential sodomists and terrorists too (remember LRA, IRA, David Koresh, KKK) because all of them were christians who knew the bible back and front and felt the bible gave them the right to kill, maim, descriminate, take slaves, sodomize young boys e.t.c So you see, there is better way of showing concern when a whole group of people are concerned. I don't feel i have to apologize to anybody because i am a muslim, and i don't regret being a muslim. But atleast to nullify the concerns of brothers of different faiths, i think more muslims should stand firm in condemning terrorism, protest against it, lunch t.v programms sorely preaching against terrorism and e.t.c That i believe will help rather than abuse and counter abuse, instigations and counter instigations.
