I'm really shocked at the level of negativism (I hope I'm correct) on this thread.  What do u guys mean here/  There are better pilots here in 9ja and I mean it.  Let me tell u something, if that thing had happened in Nigeria, say Lagos, in less than a minute, help (in the form of fishermen) would've arrived, only that u get to hear the news and see the pictures first on CNN before our local stations.

9ja for life.

good stuff

we would have used our yatch/hotel as rescue boat the way water taxi's were used.

Grizzly:
dont u geddit, ? God doesnt sleep
On a lighter side, to think the plank crashed because it hit a flock of birds!!!!
funny

lol, maibe they were trying to claim omo onile/ native right from the plane and it didnt comply. but seriously though, they got there first.

ohaechesi:
I want to say a big PRAISE THE LORD for sparing the lives of 155 people. May his name always be glorified. How could you be very sure that 9jia could be as bad as you had published here? too quick to jumping into conclusion. What happened was just an act of God and not the pilot of which God in his infinite mercy could grant any pilot in 9jia such grace.

Talking about the inefficiency of the rescue team in 9jia, you can't be too sure when it comes to issues like this. This is not a case of armed rubbers rubbing some where and the police was notified, this is a total case of humanity. remember, necessity is the mother of invention. though i'm not comparing the efficiency of US rescue team to the one of 9jia.

the crashes in naija that didnt end favorably were acts of God too. to show he can do as he pleases.

if na for port hacourt, they would be rescued by MEND and taken hostage right after.


its going to take a lot of work but Lagos/NIGERIA would get there.

earTHMama:
You will see them clearly because the cameras are coming in high definition. HDCCTV babe .

at nite too, cos they better make it NITEVISION HDCCTV. those would only cost them a arm and a leg more

the Cameras can tell difference between igbo and cigarette, right! right!!
Of course because their wraps are totally different.

it could be tobacco in the wrap or is that illegal as well.

the camera can also help track people selling at oshodi market after their eviction. it can identify which car is stolen and which one isnt.




a plane just crashed into the river. assuming this happened in lagos and was caught on LAGOS camera, do we have the support system in place to get all on board out of the water on time, not to talk of icy water like it is in this case. are they equipped enough to get 150people out of the water, freezing or not in 20 minutes, so they dont have to deal with hypothermia ati be be lo.


those are my kweshuns.

its not just the roads. nigerians driving habits helps act as a catalyst to what the bad roads are capable of doing.

accidental discharge.

Nobody is hoping for this project to fail. we are only helping point out things that if done would enable it succeed.

there are camera's stationed on carter bridge, a car looses control, flips a few times and ends up in the water because there are no guard rails on the bridge to help hold it back. by the way, all this was caught on camera. what would be the advantage of catching it on camera while it happened, if LASAMBUS, cannot reach the scene in the next 5 minutes, to get the victims out of the water before they drown, lets assume the impact of the flips wasn't enough to take their lives. by the way, non of the LASAMBUS service personnel knows how to swim.

before projects are executed, you cover all bases. equipping an ambulance service by buying equipment is not the alpha and omega of things. equipping them with the needed training is what would better assist. what is the use of a semi automatic weapon provided to police when the handling officer doesnt know how to unlock it when it gets jams in a crisis situation.

AND THE BATTLE CONTINUES! it is ga ju?

shotster50:
I think this is a case of misplaced priorities. No doubt Fashola has good intentions but I think there are more pressing projects that need his attention than this 'eye service', cheap PR seeking antics.

and with that single statement, shotster50 has joined the detractors/naysayers club. welcome my friend welcome!

we need the emoticon that would represent everything from LOL to LMAOROTFLMAO TILL I WOUNDJURE.

just 8 months! wat then should those that live next to a major train stop say about not even hearing a trains noise not to talk of seeing.

so their children won use a huge chunk of their life saving applying for a tourist visa. only to be told NO no mind me. na too much work cause am

they do not have to consult US on matters of security, they didnt consult u before they made laws against carrying liquid onto a plane. or before searching ur bags at the airport for contraband and making u walk thru metal detectors.


rant over, what they need to do is think of all the possible ways a project could be flawed and address them before executing such. it is part of the planning process.

The deterrent factor is enough to reduce crime in Lagos dramatically!

Cameras are rarely used to catch thieves. Their main purpose is to serve as a deterrent!

DETER WHAT! ok maibe but very very minute. if its to deter crime, then they might as well install dummy camera's on every street. i t would sure cost a lot lessssssssssssssss.

lucabrasi:
wats your pointso your genius idea is to totally give  up on nigeria and any government initiatives just because theres a chance of failure, how many times did edison try and fail before inventing the light bulb?i bet if he was nigerian many of the ppl on here will have dubbed him crazy

Mr. Lucab, , why r u comparing how we come about orange juice and how orange juicy is used. theres a difference between giving up on nigeria and what we are doing.

the feeds are not going to be over the www abeg, what are the old nitel lines there for. i kEEd! but seriously though, do we iron out every rough edges on any project we decide to carry out. be it our NUKULAR power project, SATALITE project, FREE EDUCATION project, MASS TRANSIT project, b4 u respond to me kicking and screaming i know not all rough edges would be known until the project is executed to some level but i sure darn know that,(do i sound like alaska Gov or wat) some basic rough edges accompany them from conception.

lucabrasi:
the only sensible comment, and i was almost giving up

and where in the article does it say it is solar powered? u better start giving up.

hajifaty:
I hope they will install some CCTV to watch over pple looting our money Well,this na good move sha but I doubt if this go work for naija sha

Hajia, that would be IMPOSSICANT! it would cost too mush money so we would rather just add the money for such projects to that which they want to steal.

Bhola, u berra leave somebody alone b4 we have them watch u too with the indecent dressing powered cameras.

KOBO no laugh o, dem don talk say u dey pray make the system no work. cos it would be ur sole fault if this camera system doesnt work. any laugh can , shall, will, would, should, wont, shant, etc etc ati be be lo be used against u when the reality of it not working checks in on US.

hehehe, the cameras must be solar powered(because nepa/phcn would not provide power), have night vision capability (because light no go dey where we dey use am watch), must have a supporting system to assist our birds eye view system for it to be useful(because the camera cant make arrests by itself), in case theres a crime in progress on GTB and SKKYE bank on ALLEN, we must make it possible for the men in black to arrive at the scene in good time (it taking 30minutes to travel between toyin street/opebi junction and allen roundabout by the RRS means they would arrive at the 'BBQ' late).

hopefully those monitoring the camera's would be disciplined enough to focus on crime and not zooom in on female back sides and barely hidden chests. trust me it(the cameras) can zoom something 150 meters away to make it seem like its "SHAKING" right in front of ur eyes.

na wa o, it is ga ju!

comedy central, too mush mofies na bad thing o.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyr

The term martyr (Greek μάρτυς martys "witness" is most commonly used today to describe an individual who sacrifices his or her life (or personal freedom) in order to further a cause or belief for many

But if i am wrong in the context with which i am using the word, i just hope u get the drift. I am no Linguist u know.

Guy, I'm not scolding you or anything. the way it was used just simply made it possible to interprete it otherwise. anyway at least u understood what i was pointing at, some people for don respond talk say make i carry my oversabi leg comot while they keep trying to get minds confused

hajifaty:
May God safe us from hell ooo. Naija na hell thats why we have people like OBJ,IBB any many more leaders of hell. The Satanic leaders. Hell and Paradise get different parts according to the holy books. The whole africa is a Hell and the west and asian paradise, So West is the capital of paradise and Nigeria capital of hell

and ur reason for this is postulation is based on?

would it make a difference if i point out that, an individual doesnt make himself a martyr. his deeds, actions is what prompts people to put him or her in the martyr realm after they most likely have passed.

ode remo:
in politics change comes in two ways from the top i.e good leadership or from the bottom i.e through people revolution . nigerian will have to make a choice which one appeals to them.

and that is where the whole bruhaha originates from. why cant we fire it from all angles, we get ourselves good leadership and as well fix our own numerously uncountable faults. they say ,"u cant eat ur cake and have it" but i refuse to attend that school cos i absolutely think we can fry our cake and bake it too.


_{by the way some of you might already think im loco. its a good sign and i hope to infect as many ppl i can with it.}

BOSSman make i ask again true true. cos i dont want to overwhelm anybody with my jamb kweshuns o.

Do we need to be martyrs to stand for something or believe in something?

even if we change Presidents, governors, house of reps members, state senators, federal senators, ministers, commisioners, theres no guarantee things would change if the general nigerian attitude towards things do not change. e.g. keeping silent while being oppressed because, i no wan die, i no wan wound, i no wan quench, i get one child, mama dey for house, papa dey for house, etc etc etc.
