Oya answer 😁

Go and answer all my questions before i will answer this.

Interesting.

BlueRayDick:
This bold is an assumption that may not be true.

I don’t live abroad and can’t claim to know for sure if there aren’t road signs for almost every potential traffic violation.

Why not let’s ask people who live abroad if there are signs for all of the things u mention up there or if drivers are just expected to do them ?

livelongnprospa what’s it like in Canada?

That sharp turn would not need a “no U-turn” side over here, especially on a bridge. It would be expected that all motorists would know that it is unsafe and illegal to turn there.

Only a roundabout or a designated lane for those making a U-turn would make sense there.

Emaprince:
Especially that one way own.

How can any body know a road is one way where he is just driving for the first time?

This looks like a failed attempt to excuse the police criminal activities in that area.

Why was the warning sign removed, if not to exploit more unsuspecting motorists

Personally, I feel once there's a visible sign warning motorists the police have a right to arrest offending motorists.

However, assuming everyone plying the road must know about the technicalities of that route without any warning sign is unfair.

For example, there are roads in Lagos that are allows two-way traffic from morning till 3pm. Once it is 3pm, that road becomes a one-way and u will see LASTMA and taskforce effecting arrest once it is 3.01pm. The link bridge between Egbeda-Akowonjo and Agege-Dopemu is a classic example of this. There is a road sign at the start of the bridge warning motorists.

Anybody arrested there have no excuse and I learnt LASTMA collects as much as 200k before releasing any arrested vehicle

According to Obi governance is not rocket science but we have been looking at his Anambra governance and it seems like rocket science oh


Shey na the same brain he use govern Anambra into that condition he wan use govern Nigeria abi na another one?

If it was Sowore or some candidate who has never governed before we for dey give am benefit of doubt but Obi that actually governed and the state turned into a mess in his hand suddenly remembered its not rocket science

The easiest way to identify a failure in governance is one who can only point at those who took over from him as evidence of his success.

The failure that Lagos experienced under Tinubu's tenure, he has brought to the national scale...I trust am sha, when e tenure finish e go begin point e successor work as e own.

Under Tinubu govt BRT was launched
Under Tinubu govt in Lagos, LASTMA was established
Under Tinubu admin IGR was increased greatly
Under Tinubu admin as governor healthcare was prioritized, I still remember the Jigi-Bola scheme
Under Tinubu admin as governor of Lagos RRS was established to partner police and reduce crime
Under Tinubu as governor the Millennial schools were also established

Tinubus successors are always praising his legacy and what he handed to them, Obis successors are always sending curses to him for being a terrible governor who had no vision

I with you on this one. There is a traffic sign for literally everything here. There would be big sign on that bridge from the entrance of the bridge and the exact area where it occurs, especially, if the it has been observed that people are making turns that endanger lives. They would not leave it to the judgement of humans because not every one drives defensively.

The municipality or City, depending on who maintains the road will install and maintain the sign. They may decide to put a light that allows for U turn or flat out ban it because that median doesn’t allow for safe UTurns. They can also extend the median further past the bridge to ensure no one is attempting a U-turn on the bridge which is dangerous by the way.

The only issue I have is that, the sign was installed by citizens and not the appropriate authority that regulates traffic in Lagos (LATSMA, I believe).

Consequently, road users may refuse to follow the sign because, it is not exactly backed by law. LATSMA or the appropriate agency that manages that road, need to put the sign and include violations, this way it is backed by law and penalties can be enforced.

But I definitely understand why the citizens took it upon themselves to install the sign. Again, like I have always said, we have very weak institutions in Nigeria.

Its people living in Nigeria that voted Tinubu and will vote for him again in 2027

Most of the few that voted him have realised their mistake.

The people supporting him now are either abroad, fellow crime gangs or bots

donjazzet:
Interesting.

Most of the people that advocate good governance through Peter Obi made the list.

The Tinubu people filled the foolish list.

Posterity judges justly

Tinubu is high on propaganda. I lived in Lagos during the Tinubu years.

All what you have mentioned are in other words agberoism and a long straw deeped into Lagos State treasury.

Tinubu is a gang lord. All he does in politics is fuel his Gang of Lagos.

I mean all he does.

To the extent that nothing but crumbs are left for the masses.

The few who voted him were enough to send Obi to 3rd place. No one abroad voted Tinubu, It was Nigerians who saw his administration in Lagos and wanted him to do the same to Nigeria

They also saw the Obi admin in ANambra and said No we dont want that

BRT that people take to work and back till date is agberoism
LASTMA that clears traffic is agberoism
Health centers is agberoism and ganglords
RRS is agberoism and ganglord
Millennial school is agberoism

Yet all his successors hailed those and continued even did more

while Obis successors are telling us he was a terrible governor whose investment in his personal business is worth next to nothing

[color=royalblue]Sorry to ask

Yes, I believe they have in most places. Generally, they put markings on the road as well as signs before a roundabout.

Some lecturers are just saddists and na young lecturers Dey always wicked like this .

Why didn't he wave it, abi he was chasing first class? All that stress for a one unit course? Never.

This is a regular occurrence na. I faced the same threat twice when in school. One lecturer was even going to intentionally fix his test for the time we were out of the school representing the school in a sports competition. I think the provost finally prevailed on him to postpone it by a week or so, but he didn't allow those whose attendance fell below the minimum requirement because of the sports trip to take the test.

Another case of Nigerians been kind to themselves unlike the unfathomably wicked political leaders.

Oh yes, it is called a "Yield" sign. You will observe it as you approach the entrance of each road that make up the roundabout.

If it is a high traffic round about, the Yield sign is observed a few 100 feet before you approach the roundabout, and at the entrance of the roundabout, that way you are prepared.

Who tell u say na all courses dem Dey waive ? U never hear of compulsory courses before ?

Can a student decide to waive a course after you've failed it? Once you fail it you have to re-register and pass it

Forgot about that. It's been awhile.

raumdeuter:

If it's not a compulsory course, and it doesn't really have much effect on your GPA, then you can wave it.

I just Dey look am

raumdeuter:

Yes , u can waive an elective course if u have passed the total number of units required of you to graduate .
Let’s say over 8 semesters , wrote different courses with cumulative units of 160. Some schools may allow you to graduate after passing 155 units by allowing u to waive some elective courses u failed . They hardly allow I waive compulsory courses except maybe the senate just approve special waivers for that graduating year

TemporaryHansel:

That’s why students are always begging for at least 40 E ( Let my people go ) in compulsory courses

has elder ever made professional inputs in any discussion
has he ever actually discussed his experiences in a higher institution?
has he ever said anything alluding to his academic displine?

every once in a while, a mask will slip.

this is what you are seeing
