Politics / Re: "Churches/Mosques Won't Be Reopened Without Residents' Guarantee" - LASEPA by Mustay(m): 3:56pm On Nov 20, 2019 |
naptu2: We have a serious problem with our way of thinking and this is where LASEPA and any info agency can start appealing to the minds of Lagosians because those who make the noise don't know how it affects others. Some people have died, others can't sleep and we have those who have hearing loss. And we wonder why there are many aggressive people in Lagos. People are channeling their grievances to others. Anyway that's an aside. For your example, that's what is expected. I have monitored shows where LASEPA officials come on air and the consensus is the same when they bring this issue up - 90% of the people don't feel they do anything concrete. Normally, people should be able to follow up online or through text services. Online, people can submit evidences with timestamp of the incidence. Not everything Twitter. My problem with the hashtag is that we are interpreting the law to give permission and this is why they say presence of laws is not our problem, absence of enforcement is. Let them include this clause in the law because you and I know that there are vested interests everywhere so saying you need an assent is a loophole. The resident can be bribed to shut up. After all, it's this same Lagos unapproved buildings get built and some officials will act like superman when it collapses and kills people. What if the complainant dies? Reporting is even people helping them do their jobs - offence that they ought to be using to make money from. If you are a repeat offender, they increase the fine you pay for violating the law and 3rd offence or more can lead to closure or suspension of licence or whatever. Man must chop, when you deny them the avenue to enjoy, they will comply. |

A guarantee by the residents does not make sense, just enforce the law. What if residents want the road to be blocked for a party? Will they relax the law on that? It only takes a few bucks to influence the residents association for a business that thrives on noise. What if most of the residents belong to a religion whose house makes noise, does that mean the few have no say? Who thought of this #NoToReopeningWithoutResidentsAssent 1 Like |

Crime / Re: RAPE: FAQ On Nairaland Since The COZA Saga by Mustay(m): 1:07am On Oct 13, 2019 |
queenitee:I am glad the mods didn't rush this topic to the FP because the noisemakers will drown the message. This post of yours is reminiscent of the Catholic Priests Abuse. The pain hardly goes away and the victims want to voice out. What it shows is how powerful people in positions of authority gang up to perpetuate evil. In Nigeria, what we fail to do is to tackle the issue by thinking it's about our faith, our brothers or sisters or some family members. We want to defend evil or sweep it under the carpet. It shows that a lot of people don't know the effects of something until they experience it. This issue is not limited to Nigeria. It is all over the world and takes place in different ways and institutions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6DPc37L4q0 4 Likes |

Health / Re: Diary Of A Depressed Soul by Mustay(m): 2:04pm On Sep 30, 2019 |
Mariangeles: Faith is not a bad idea but in dealing with depressed people, it can further complicate issues because they keep asking "why" and when they realise how the world is not perfect, it further heightens their anxiety. Religion can provide solace in the hopeful verses but you have to understand the mindset of the individual. Normal Nigerian way is to go spiritual but this person definitely has something that keeps coming up. Something that needs to be discussed or confronted. Something that needs diagnosis to get to the root. He or she keeps deflecting the attention away via photography, drugs, girlfriend etc but the devil is still wearing Prada within. Life events have not helped either in soothing the OP's pains. |

Politics / Re: Buhari Orders Immediate Evacuation Of Nigerians In South Africa Willing To Come by Mustay(m): 3:41pm On Sep 09, 2019 |
This should be coming from @NigeriaGov not from Bashir. Instead, what I see is the government of Nigeria retweeting a Presidential Order from Bashir. Now, we have Bashir, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu. A government pronouncement should not be coming through this channel. The individual can state it but the individual is not the office. The earlier they coordinate this, the better. 2 Likes |

Footballers have a very short career that they have to make the most of it. “Probably we would have demanded (not for any payment of some sort) but to have created a system or an institution that will take care of us in old age which is something we have found out now”, he added. The government should create a system that works for everyone, whether you are a footballer or pepper seller. This government, through the NFF that has abandoned injured players during their active years will now take care when they're old, e no fit work. They don't care until they see foreigners hyping or showing them love, then they want to tap into the limelight. |
Career / Re: Ican Vs Anan by Mustay(m): 8:37pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
[quote author=asuustrike1 post=82019667][/quote] ANAN believes that professional accounting is solely for accountants or accounting graduates, they don't believe it's an all comers affair. That's why their admission process is more rigid than ICAN's. In today's world, I don't think that matters. A lot of science graduates have become Chartered Accountants and they come with a different mindset that helps the profession rather than having one way traffic. Whatever works for each body is okay but I believe in making education easily accessible not unnecessarily restrictive. Today, some guys are trying to put some courses like calculus online and making sure it's accredited to solve the 'expensive' maths problem. |
Celebrities / Re: Ooni Of Ife Sings With Paul Okoye In His Palace (Photo) by Mustay(m): 3:17pm On Sep 06, 2019 |
donpapa:It may seem trivial but singing the song of one of them will be seen as patronizing and keeps widening the division. This particular Ooni likes tourism and keeps telling people about African culture. No one can force them but P2 has the potential of being headliners for the twins festival held in Igbo-ora; that's tourism potential. How do you do that when the duo is not united? 2 Likes |

Celebrities / Re: Davido: No Money Osun State Can Make In 40 Years That My Dad Hasn’t Made by Mustay(m): 5:26pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
The fun part about this is that the future value of Osun's returns in 40 years cannot be predicated on Mr Adeleke's present value. That is the economic truth about this. Is is also convenient that we have people who get fooled by rich people's assets but don't open their eyes to see their debts. Kinda speaks to why Osun is broke |

Politics / Re: LAWMA Begins Seizure Of Carts From Cart Pushers by Mustay(m): 7:55pm On Sep 03, 2019 |
Beverlyjean: Very smart suggestion. That's what I would have thought too. A long time problem cannot be solved with force, it takes strategy and gradual phasing out. Budget for them to provide auxiliary services while ensuring that the citizens who engage them desist from this act. The refusal to see these guys as agents of change is sad but as someone said, it may be a politician who wants to clear road. |
Politics / Re: LAWMA Begins Seizure Of Carts From Cart Pushers by Mustay(m): 7:45pm On Sep 03, 2019 |
Good observation. Please don't push them from carts to drugs or other crimes. Our government officials sometimes don't plan alternatives when they make decisions. They forget that every action has a reaction. To the cart guy, he will see government as frustrating him without understanding what he has done or the impact. They ought to channel their energy towards another venture. We already have high level unemployment, these guys can be engaged in other productive ways. Has the government asked why people are patronizing them? If there is no demand, they would not be doing this. This Lagos that some people want free PSP service but don't want to pay for it. The last government created a mess with waste management so I don't expect the problem to go away overnight. All the cart pusher sees is service he is providing, he does not think about the impact on the environment which is because the people themselves patronize them while the govt too has not blocked avenues for the cart guys dumping the waste anyhow. Treat these 2 and they will naturally find alternatives. amaks: |

Politics / Re: Kudos, Knocks As Governors Hit First 100 Days In Office by Mustay(m): 8:46pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
Ugwuanyi recently gave to the police not fewer than 70 Hilux vehicles, Sienna SUVs and other brands for decoy operations. He as well pays monthly allowances to the operatives, provides fuel and other logistics requirements for the agencies to perform. Worthy of note is that the governor himself sometimes leads patrol raids on criminal hideouts and dark spots at Obiagu Road, Ogui and Asata, notable homes for drug dealers and users as well as other criminals. I don't think this is wise for the Governor to do. He is the Cheif Security Officer but the Police can do the job. He does not need Superman moves that could cost him his live. It is so sad that Makinde paying on the 25th is now seen as a good thing to be celebrated. Salary that the workers are entitled to should not be celebrated. Our governors have done so bad that what Oyo government is doing is linked to performance. |

Following the closure of the Akanu Ibiam international airport, Enugu, by the federal government, the Ebonyi State Government on Friday said it will provide free transport services with armed escort for its residents travelling to Owerri, Imo State.
