obayaya: What's your problem? Are you high on cheap crack?

How is this statement related to the issue at hand? you are jubilating and praying for more accidents. So that you'll be able to shout "I said it" SMH.. You're pathetic

for your information.. That road is arguably an 8 lane road.. 4 on the flyover, 4 on the ground level.

shame on you, may lies ever be the order of your life. Which road is 8 lanes? Say the truth so that your government will wake up. I still insist that our government is useless

in those pics above, oh i wish i could swim in that pool, Nigerian flood is brownish and sandy, what does that mean. BAD AND USELESS GOVERNMENT

in anambra, we are use to bad roads and narrow roads nah

yesterday, i was complaning that we are really living in hell in anambra as a result of bad and narrow roads. And some idi-ots here were insulting me. Now mr governor, more and more accidents and deaths will surely occur if you dont want to do something about thoes narrow roads

OkijaAmaka: [size=18pt]i think your pure and undiluted phool.

In Kano you will bombed to shreds nobody will visit you in hospital but your body will returned in nylon bag.
In Port Harcourt the cultists will either shoot before snatching your bicycle or shoot you for not having enough in your wallet.
In Lagos the Danfos will definitely slam you into 3rd mainland bridge or atworst LATSMA will arrest you and collect 40k whic is better,

chose your poison or better relocate to Kano.
u didnt mention calabar, uyo, enugu and asaba na Kanonistan you dey mention....i smell APCshit here[/size]

lets then go and compare the accident occurance rate, and post any picture of traffic light in anambra if there is any. Then i will give up the arguement

gratieao: There is nothing like Okada ban again in Lagos, i don't no about other state. Pls stop telling people lies

and have you boarded okada from oshodi to lekki? And morover the service lane in lagos is wider than the federal and state roads in anambra, i live in anambra and was born there. Quote me wrong and i will upload some pics here

op, am posting from a hospital bed. i was hit by a commercial bicycle why trying to drive my own bicycle. Do u think this would have happened if am in other cities like ph, lagos, abuja, kano, owerri and so on which have a good town planning and good means of transportation? Anambra economy is good but the living standard there is compared to hell

“I challenged the pilgrims to
provide me with medical
proof that they had been
healed. None did.”

jared007: Obama was never d Antichrist. Don't be deceived by people because Nimrod would not be revealed until the depature of the church from d world through d rapture. IT IS ONLY THOSE LEFT BEHIND THAT WILL SEE AND RECOGNIZE NIMROD!

one word for you. #confusionist

so Obama is no more the antichrist?

Ucheosefoh: Anambra the home of the brave and home of the strong also the home of the intellectuals and home of the rich

yet no town planing

the most funny aspect of it was how they changed some of our traditional names to theirs like Peter, Samuel, Joseph, John and yet none of those white dude agreed to bear names like Okeke, adebayor, tunde. Obi. Nigerians now refers to our traditional gods as that satan/lucifer in their bible

God help me. Since two weeks now i found it difficult to read news, just always straight down to the comments

1) The heart is the thinking
aspect of man. “For as he thinks
in his heart, so is he.” (Prov. 23:7
NKJV) Jesus asks, “Why do you
think evil in your hearts?” (Matt.
9:4 NKJV) “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts.” (Matt.
15:19 NKJV) “If that evil servant
says in his heart, ‘My master is
delaying his coming.’” (Matt.
24:48 NKJV) The evil servant says
this in his heart because that is what he is thinking. “But Mary
kept all these things and
pondered them in her
heart.” (Luke 2:19 NKJV) Mary
thought about these things and
mulled them over in her mind. One could go on and find verse
after verse in the Bible teaching
the same thing about the heart
being the place of thought,
reasoning, and understanding
within man.

anambrarians never wished to see cars run on their roads thats why the kept on making narrow roads that wilv contain bycycles and motorcycles alone. Shame on that Animal kingdom

Gamechanger: TO GOD BE THE GLORY. LET THE TRANSFORMATION CONTINUE

transformation without town planning. For all i care, anambra is still an Animal Kingdom

its unfortunate that most of them have not been to nigeria. Even our wild and domestic animals here in Nigeria are corrupt, beggers at the road side are corrupt, fake drugs every where, our beverages are 100 percent chemicals yet u will see where it is written 100% fruit juice at the pack. We even corrupt the road construction companies, infant let me stop here for now

the churches are more confused than a sane man

my mum and my dad are religious but me and my siblings are agnotics and we dont go to church expect my parents.

falcon01: we came before technology and they after

please i want to use this opportunity to plead to all states governors to take a major steps to fight this menance

It is disheartening to note that in every area of decent living, Nigeria has always ranked woefully. It is, therefore, not an astounding news when recently, experts also declared Nigeria as the noisiest country in the world! It is that bad that we do not need to wait for experts to observe that the level of noise pollution, especially in our cities and particularly Lagos, is a scary development. Even though noise pollution is not limited to Nigeria, it is a phenomenon usually common to many developing nations and even some developed countries. As a matter of fact, Madrid, the capital city of Spain and New York City in the United States are also some of the noisiest cities in the world. It is, however, worrisome that despite experts’ caution on the dangers of uncontrolled noise pollution on the well-being of the people and the environment, we have continued to carry on unperturbed. Noise pollution is displeasing or excessive noise that may disrupt the activity or balance of human or animal life. It is a form and level of environmental sound that is generally considered likely to annoy, distract or even harm other people. High noise levels can contribute to cardiovascular effects in humans, a rise in blood pressure, and an increase in stress and vasoconstriction, and an increased incidence of coronary artery disease. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons for the high incidence of hypertension in Nigeria. The high level of noise pollution has become a major source of health concern in Nigeria as The Nigeria Hearing and Speech Association (NIHSA) has raised the alarm on the increasing hearing challenges being faced by many Nigerians as a result of noise pollution. According to the National President of NIHSA, Professor Julius Ademokoya , the number of patients with ear and hearing- related problems seen in some health facilities is about 10 weekly. According to him, people are not expected to expose their hearing to the sound level of 80 decibels as the part of the ear that picks up sound is called Coplair and it is a combination of cells and very sensitive to noise. So, the more the Coplair is exposed to a high degree of noise, the more the danger of becoming deaf or having hear impairment. Gradual hear loss is high in Nigeria due to its position as the loudest noise producer in the world. It is worrisome to observe that noisemaking has become a socio-cultural problem among our people. It has become a way of life in many of our communities. We party at the least cause for celebration. For a naming ceremony, streets are closed while music blares at its loudest and may extend late into the night. In Nigeria, Lagos, being a littoral state, with a population in excess of 20 million people and great intense economic and social activities, naturally faces the greatest challenge of possible environmental abuse and degradation, particularly that of noise pollution. In Lagos, the major sources of noise pollution include motor parks, worship centres and roadside music centres. Indeed, it is common knowledge that most worship centres in the state are located in residential areas and the noise generated from these places often become a major source of pain to most residents who find it hard to sleep at night because of the noise emanating from most of these centres. Some of the worship centres make the loudest noise even in the dead of the night! Ironically, the owners of the erring worship centres are so unruly that they sometimes even have the effrontery to engage the authorities and the communities in running battles. Our comatose power sector also plays a big role in the high level of noise pollution in Lagos. Because of the constant failure of electricity supply in the country, almost every household has its own power generating sets, especially the noisy portable type, popularly called ‘I better pass my neighbour’. It is unimaginable the level of noise these generators produce. Every barber, hairdresser, welder, tailor, grinding machine operators, etc., now rely on generators to do their business. Similarly, the state experiences disturbing noises from roadside music vendors who, in a bid to attract prospective buyers’ attention, often blare the sound of the music they advertise to a very ridiculous level. Also, the high vehicular traffic in Lagos coupled with bad driving habits of many drivers encourage a high level of honking from motorists. The commuter bus drivers are particularly notorious for unnecessary honking that is displeasing to the ears. The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, (LASEPA ) is the regulatory authority on environmental pollution in Lagos and the agency’s position on the permissible level of noise pollution is clear. This has been communicated to all stakeholders in the state. LASEPA limited the level of noise allowed in the state to 55 decibel during the day and at night between 42 and 45 decibel. In order to ensure compliance with this position, the agency has been organizing stakeholders’ meetings in which it communicated the position of the state government to them as well as rub minds together on how to guarantee strict conformity with the noise level requirement in the state. Despite the fact that there has been a clampdown on erring bodies particularly the worship centres by LASEPA in recent times, there is yet to be an appreciative abatement level in noisemaking in the state. There is an elevated level of ignorance amongst the populace on the danger of constant exposure to high level noise. Many people are unaware of the health risk posed by noise pollution and so they do not find any reason to report noisemakers. Even those that are aware of the dangers are very lackadaisical when it comes to reporting noise pollution. Everybody justseems to be too busy ‘minding their business.’ Due to our sentiments and attitude to issues bordering on religion, many of our people are also usually reluctant to report perpetrators that share the same faith with them. In order to attain a desirable environment that is devoid of noise pollution, the government must, therefore, begin an aggressive public enlightenment campaign to sensitize the populace on the dangers of noise pollution. Our people must put religious sentiments aside and embrace a noiseless environment that sustains their well-being. The government may also need to review the present report system that is centralized at LASEPA ’s office in Alausa Secretariat. It is imperative that local offices of LASEPA be created to make reports easier. Because of the sheer size of the Lagos population that is in excess of twenty million people, the government can explore the possibility of involving the Environment Departments of the Local Council Areas in the report and enforcement of noise pollution offences. The Federal Government must also fix the power sector to reduce the noise -making from power generating sets, This sector is critical to the socio-economic development of the country as almost all the other sectors depend or thrive on efficient power supply
