warrenweste:I don't have any information about what she's doing now. I have her audio tape, but I've been searching for it for a while and I still haven't found it. Most of her videos are on Youtube (except my favourite - Ina Gizo Yake), but I think you've already seen all those videos. She was always invited to perform at Maryam Babangida's events for children particularly because of two of her songs that she sang with lots of children - "All We Need Is Love" and "Nigeria My Beloved Country". |

DropShot:I won't have had any problem with it if it was a spontaneous reaction by patriotic Nigerians. I don't even think that the #istandwithbuhari hashtag can distract President Buhari (I think that the President would be the first person to admit that there's a lot of work to be done), but I have serious misgivings about this campaign. When you see that a website has been created, tshirts have been made, etc, then I can't help feeling that the usual suspects are involved. There are people who will launch any type of campaign for any type of person if they believe that they can make some money, become famous, or make contact with people in government through their campaign. These people have no morals and are extremely dangerous and I can't help feeling that they are behind the #istandwithbuhari campaign. Find out as much as you can about a character called Yomi Tokoya if you want to understand the mindset of the kind of people I am talking about. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

manie:Yes. That's my only fear about this move. The Lagos State Government banned danfos and molues from Ikoyi and Victoria Island in 2002. This was a test run before a proposed state wide ban. The government licensed private operators to run transport services instead of molues and danfos. The most popular operator was Cross Country Nigeria, an inter-state transport operator. Cross Country provided intra-state transport services using the name City Bus. City Buses were air conditioned Toyota Coaster and Hiace buses. The drivers and conductors wore dark blue trousers, white shirts and blue ties. Most of them were graduates. The buses only stopped designated bus stops. The fare was 50 naira for every journey. This suited people who were going from Obalende to Ajah, but was too expensive for people going from Obalende to Falomo. The agberos and NURTW members went crazy because they could not extort money from the City Buses. They destroyed the buses and bus stop shelters. The Lagos State Government banned touting at bus stops and arrested many agberos (Ikoyi and VI were filled with mobile policemen), but the union went to court to enforce their right to freedom of movement as enshrined in the constitution. They said that bus stops are public places and the government has no right to stop them from entering or standing at bus stops. They won the case. Students of the Nigerian Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research also destroyed City Buses because they felt that the fares were too expensive. The Lagos State Government eventually had to back down. They eventually licensed NURTW to provide transport services in Ikoyi and V.I. Cross Country eventually had to pull out of the system because they could not compete with the cheap fares charged by NURTW buses. NURTW was given a BRT franchise because of what happened during the City Bus experiment. 8 Likes 1 Share |

anonimi:O please! Would they have destroyed City Buses in 2001/2002 if he was in control of them?? Would they have sued the Lagos State Government if he was in control of them?? (I hope you know what happened in 2001/2002?) 2 Likes |

Naijaboiy these were the kind of phones that were used between 1991-1997 (they are sometimes called bricks or nought-nine-nought phones). [img]http://www.cntr.salford.ac.uk/comms/resources/artefacts/mobile_phones/ETACS/ETACS_collection(2).JPG[/img]

naijaboiy:1) A new technical standard for mobile phones in Nigeria. These are the mobile phone standards that have been introduced in Nigeria (apart from 3G and 4G) and the year in which they were introduced. Total Access Communication System (TACS) - 1991. (090 numbers) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) - c1997 (used landline state codes, eg 01 for Lagos). Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) - 2001 (080 numbers, etc) 2) A further deregulation of the telecommunications sector. Nitel was the sole provider of telecommunications services when mobile phones were introduced in 1991. The phones and systems were very expensive. You could only buy your phones from Nitel and they cost anything between 100,000 naira to 220,000 naira. In Lagos the signals were only broadcast from two towers, one at Saka Tinubu on Victoria Island and the other in Ikeja. You were billed when you made a call and you also paid when someone called you. You paid extra for out of state calls. The telecoms sector was first deregulated around 1997. Private telecoms companies could then provide mobile phone services, but the restrictions that were placed on them were too much (the government didn't want them to be able to compete with Nitel). For example, some PTOs could only provide mobile phone services in Lagos. Most companies were restricted to one or two states. Most of the new companies used the CDMA system. If I remember correctly, this is when companies like Multilinks, Intercellular, etc came into the business. In 2001 the government allowed foreign companies to bid for GSM licenses. The companies were given national roaming rights, which meant that they could operate in any state in Nigeria. The phones were much cheaper and competition drove down the cost of services, which meant that newspaper vendors, students and basically anybody could afford a mobile phone for the first time. |

The state government granted NURTW a franchise in order to maintain peace (remember that NURTW touts destroyed City Buses in 2001 because they thought that the City Buses were meant to replace danfos and molues). The NURTW members did not keep to the terms of the franchise agreement (they basically converted the buses to danfos and molues). The government obviously had to terminate the agreement, but the question is, would NURTW touts resort to destroying Lagbuses? 4 Likes 3 Shares |
