naptu2: The long running saga of

[size=14pt]Becomerich vs Nairaland[/size]

This battle is almost as old as nairaland itself. Becomerich has launched attacks against nairaland and its bandwidth using weapons like mapographic scud missiles, graphic and horrifying cruise missiles (made up of pictures of blood and gore) and bunker bursting batu bombs.

Nairaland on its part has retaliated using weapons such as banning and deletion.

However, Mr Musiwa devised an antidote to Nairaland's counter-attacks and that antidote is composed of numerous IDs, eg Becomerich 1-100, Becomrich, Becoomerich, Becomricha, Becomericher, Eguofor, Complove, Nigeria1, Nigeriaone, Bashali, Tayo4life and Uche 2005. He also created a "rival" website known as This Globe (Seun has censored the name of that website. Try and type "This Globe" without any space between the words and see what happens) .

The audience in this battle (Nairalanders) have often switched sides, sometimes backing becomerich and at other times supporting Nairaland. This led to the famous incident when Becomrich was voted politics section poster of the year, disqualified and then reinstated.

Numero uuuno: kudos to the LSG with all this great projects!
♍Ɣ question is how is the cable car feasible with the erratic power supply in Nigeria.

The project will have 5 sources of power viz – (1) The Independent Power Project (IPP) on the Island (2) Gas (3) Diesel (4) Turbines (5) Inverters (which will provide 30 minutes back-up power).

[size=14pt]Exclusive: 3 Petrol tankers with 99,000 thousand liters of fuel cause of Alausa fire.[/size]

By Citizens Platform

In an exclusive chat with Citizens Platform, the Lagos State Fire Service  has clarified cause of the inferno which engulfed the premises of a trailer park in Lagos Thursday evening. The Lagos State Fire Service director Mr. Rasak Idowu Fadipe said the utility service had responded promptly to a distress call of 3 fuel tankers burning behind GT Bank, Alausa.

“We dispatched 3 fire trucks that carried specialized chemicals which is best for fighting petroleum related fires, we were able to bring the fire under control and also save other trucks and saloon cars in the premises”

Citizens Platform gathered that the petroleum tankers were carrying full shipments of approximately 33,000 liters per truck, this made the inferno more difficult to quell, however according to Fadipe another fire truck was on standby to stop the fire from spreading to other buildings around the area.

Residents of Lagos State had sent out feeds on the micro-blogging site Twitter about an unconfirmed explosion around the Alausa Central Mosque at about 8:45 PM. As at the time of filing this report Fadipe reiterated that the Lagos Fire Service was on top of the situation.

He said that work had reached an advanced stage on the construction of the sub-stations and tracks for the eventual take-off of train services had already been laid.

LAGOS State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, yesterday, said the state government was accelerating work on the first phase of the state`s light rail project to ensure speedy delivery.

 Fashola told newsmen after inspecting ongoing work at the various project sites that contractors were working round the clock, to achieve the objective.

 He said that work had reached an advanced stage on the construction of the sub-stations and tracks for the eventual take-off of train services had already been laid.

 The governor urged residents to be patient as the government was doing everything to deliver the project.

 The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that some of the sites inspected by Fashola included the Iganmu-Orile-Mile 2 and Abule-Osun sub-stations.

 Fashola, in company of other government officials, also inspected rehabilitation work at the Mile 2 Jetty and ongoing work on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

 ``We had promised on the rail project that the section from Costain to Mile 2 would be completed by the end of July.

 ``Progress has been made clearly, we have not finished but you can see that the rail project has advanced,`` he said.

 The governor said the project, when completed, would not only move people from place-to-place conveniently, but also create jobs and other economic opportunities for residents.

 According to him, the state government is rehabilitating no fewer than four state-owned ferries to complement services already being provided by private operators.

  He said that when the repair was completed, it would provide subsidised ferry services to residents and boost the state`s inter-modal transport system.

 On the 10-lane Lagos-Badagry Expressway project, the governor said contractors were accelerating work, to ensure speedy completion.

 He said that the concrete meant for the drainage works had already been cast and asphalting on the road would start from September.

 The governor urged residents to support the government by paying their taxes.

Says there's no going back on new traffic law

Article | September 12, 2012 - 4:11am | By Gbenro Adeoye

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos has told commercial motorcyclists in the state to turn to farming should the new Traffic Law prove too stiff for them.

At a meeting with the state leadership of commercial motorcycle operators, popularly called okada riders, on Tuesday, the governor said their members were free to leave the job.

Assuring okada riders of government support, Fashola advised that their members who could not cope with the law could "register with the Skill Acquisition Centres across the State or take to farming as a profession."

No going back

Reacting to public pressure to suspend the law, Fashola said it had come in force since the day it was signed.

"From the day I signed it, it became a law, so the idea of suspending the law is not something I can do even if I wanted to," he said, stressing that the law was not intended to put people in jail.

"Our intention is to explain to you why this law is in your interest and in the interest of other citizens."

Pointing out the scores of public petitions he receives about the activities of okada operators, the governor added, "Now you think I am restricting you; some people want you banned”.

In his address, Fashola explained the objectives of the law as including the promotion of safety, good health and improved quality of life for all.

He also urged the operators to first comply with the law before complaining, promising that operational adjustments could be made where genuine complaints arose.

Noting the challenges posed by not regulating the activities of the motorcyclists, Fashola said many women and children had been widowed and orphaned, and some had been maimed by their recklessness on the roads.

“You have a right to do business but that right is not absolute. It means you must respect other people’s rights so that they will respect your own," he added.

Rising from the meeting, Tijani Pekis, Chairman of the Motorcycle Operators Association of Lagos State, promised to initiate programmes to sensitise their members to ensure total compliance.

He added that the association's leadership would also assist in the enforcement of the law.

“One big statement that has been giving me problem since I sat here is, am I going to ask my child to come into this business? I think that question has personally knocked me out of the okada business," he said.
