He doesnt have to ban the use of fireworks or dealings in fireworks for it to be safe.All he has to do is regulate strigent safety rules,outlining the dangers and precautions,tax it duely and monitor it properly to the minimize the prolifiration and risk to the barest minimum.Because there will always be risk dealing with explosives,it is part of nature and celebrations.Part of man's understanding of the energies around him and the art of creating stars.

Banning them outrightly does not tell anything good about a suppose evolving society.Society evolves by workable and rational regualations that guides it path.

Doctorate degree in animal husbandary.He is probably taking nigeria for a piggery that it literally is.

Pigs like anenih would have been better of tied up in a peg,rather than been giving another opportunity to ruin one the rogue nation frontline economic powerhouse.

justphillips: heroes park ko, heroes park ni.....looting on his mind

Dont mind the baboon,he probably meant traitor's park.

I dont know much about aziza,but every reasonable nigerian knows that anybody that is deeply connected with nigerian ruling elite is a rogue.On the other hand,probably his outstanding nature could be the reason why he as ghastly killed.

lekanolas: About 94 deaths occurred in 191 road crashes across the country in the last five days.

The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Mr. Osita Chidoka, who disclosed this, said speed violation was a major cause of the crashes.

Chidoka, however, said the corps had devised speed-reducing measures as part of strategies to engender safer traffic culture among motorists, especially during the festive season. He said: “It is an attitudinal issue as this year witnessed rehabilitation of major corridors of the highways.

People tend to disregard traffic laws bordering on speed limits and accelerate beyond recommended speed thus resulting to the figures we have witnessed the last five days.

“We have devised measures to address this unpleasant development.” An online statement signed by the Deputy Corps, Education, FRSC, Mr. Bisi Kazeem, said that Chidoka who stopped over in Lokoja in the course of the aerial monitoring of traffic situation on Lokoja – Abuja highway and other major roads, appealed to motorists to reduce their speed and obey traffic regulations to reduce carnage during the festive periods.

He expressed delight over the free flow of traffic on Abuja – Lokoja – Okene highways, attributing the success to the activities of his men and other security agencies and the improvement in road conditions across the country.

The Corps Marshal urged motorists to be mindful of road regulations, warning that phoning while driving and drunk driving, over-speeding, overloading and seat belt violation would be visited with severe punishment. Chidoka promised that the FRSC would re-double efforts to cope with expected influx of traffic during the New Year to avert further crashes.

The state Sector Commander of the FRSC, Mr. Mohammed Garba, commended the Federal Government for the timely repair of a section of Lokoja – Abuja road, which was washed away in the recent flood disaster.

He said the action contributed immensely to the free flow of traffic being experienced on the road now. Garba also said that enough men and vehicles had been deployed to strategic points in the state, adding that the current level of patrol would be sustained till January.

At the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, the Corps Marshal said the FRSC had sustained aerial surveillance to get real-time information on the traffic situation on the nation’s roads during the Christmas and New Year celebrations. He added that the purpose of the surveillance was to identify areas of gridlock and resolve them to ease travelling.

According to him, the helicopter flight will take the commission’s officials over Gwagwalada, Lokoja, Onitsha, 9th Mile and other areas that usually experience serious jams during Yuletide. Chidoka said the surveillance would enable the FRSC to monitor the flow of traffic in many parts of the country.

He explained that the commission recently carried out a road audit which was submitted to the Federal Ministry of Works.

Chidoka was also at the Niger Bridge in Onitsha to monitor traffic which extended into the city and the neighbouring city of Asaba, Delta State, where he directed realignment of patrol strategies. Based on the directive, the Anambra State Sector Commander of the FRSC, Hyginus Omeje, had to relocate to Onitsha from Awka on Sunday.

The traffic yesterday, however, was heavier at the Asaba end of the Niger Bridge as thousands of motorists struggled to gain access to the bridge from the western and northern parts of the country. Vehicular movement in other parts of Anambra State had increased as many citizens of the state and their families trooped out for the Christmas celebration.

However, the presence of the FRSC operatives in Onitsha and the support from component commands in Delta State contributed to normal traffic flow along the Asaba – Onitsha highway.

How does some part this story contradicts the thread that says igbos are running away from their villages for the fear of kidnnappers?

There are no other ways of catching kidnappers apart from tracking them from their pick-up point or giving them marked money which could have disappeared so easily in nigerian cash themed economy,if the guys werent stupid enough to try to bank hot ranmsom money at the heat of moment.They probably would have gotten away with it.

Kidnapping is one of the hardest crimes to pull out successfully,but it seems very easy in rogue states.

I dont think any sane igbo man will inspire to be a president in the present rogue nigeria,not with the kind of politics nigeria plays and the kind ursurpers called politicians in nigeria.

A revolutionized nigeria maybe,but as long as i remains so backwardly primitive,no sane person wants to identify with it.The bunch of present nigerian politicians are brood of vipers,ready to sulk the last drop of blood of the infants.

Creatures to be ashamed of.

I bumped into Nigerian Human Right Commission(NHRC) web site today and it is all dry like a scorching desert.No informations,no activities,no motivations,no patronage and not even their suppose forum is functional.

They seems to be just there,doing nothing and allowing the atrocities of the police,judiciary and government to carry on unchecked in nigeria.

There seems to be no laws in nigeria and nobody is challenging.No law person/s and institutions.

Only in nigeria where custormers have no right,neither do they have choice.

It is more like the city dwelling yorubas being scared of going to their villages for fear of witches.Lagos use to be empty and lonely at christmas time when the igbos are gone for christmas.It is a time of coming home,a time of letting go stress and time of meeting up.

To a great extent it is a true story.Delta state and other south east states are hot zones for heinous crimes.Well to do people,both the bad and good ones are terrified of murderous criminals that are in most cases headed by the police themselves,like in the case of delta state where the police commissioner,ikechukwu aduba is a confirmed hardened criminal.

Any kidnapping that is revealed to the police is a foiled one,otherwise it will mean the police endorses and tolerates kidnappings.It doesnt matter whether it turn out good or bad,the police must foil and bring the kidnappers to book and must never let them get away with the ransom.

The only kidnapping that pulls out sucessfully are the ones the police are not aware of,the ones that the victim's family has been strictly warned that letting the police know means the end of the victim.The one that is done discreetly.

Nigerian police/government lies indiscrimately and they see no misconducts in their actions.

Why do guys always have to choose among gangters?Like the italians.

What has made these two people exceptional for them to be capable of ruling men?Are they not part of the same people that are destroying nigeria?Have they not stolen public fund,even if it is hundred naira?

The only point that caught my eyes is the economic freedom,because that is the key point.As long as people can feed themselves,they will be capable of taking care of other needs,including security.

Ignorance brings wars and wars brings businesses for those that are using it to survive,i.e,the arms makers, dealers and wheelers.

African new kingdom will be built on wisdom,peace,plenty and harmony.

There cant be peace without justice.The whole nigeria is crying out for it,but it seems to be systematically hotter in the east.And it point to some kind of emerging revolution that will bring fundamental change at the long run.

There will be no rest for the wicked.

Siena: You're kidding me...every Nigerian citizen, rich or poor has the right to demand what their offences are! And even if he was resisting "arrest", he deserved to be beaten to death?

I think he mentioned primitive"" and when you are dealing with primitives,anything goes.One should always be on his/her guard.

Nigerians need cultural orientation of common sense and restructuring of the mind to bring them back to sanity and reality.They treat their fellow human beings like filty animals over nothing because suffer has "dabarued" their senses.

afam4eva: Africa should close it's doors and look inwards before opening the door to foreign investors.

They dont need foreign investors.They are there as colonizers and as ursurpers,.as always.

Our natural resources can buy our ways to all the necessary investments we need to survive.Our terms,our ways and conditions.

What is the full meaning of MRS?Or does it stand for MRS FIRSTLADY(GEJ)

In other words the colloquium is saying africa needs true independence(common sense).

A people can not be said to be independent,unless they can learn to initiate,plan,execute and create.

This wwould have made sense coming from a man like Soyinka or even bakare,but coming from the kingpin himself shows how ridiculous nigerian politicians are and how they easily take the populace for granted.

Some gullible people may even hail him for spitting all that trash,yet he is one the major plagues that has ever befallen nigeria.

How can the problems be solved,when the opinions of thieves are taken seriously?How can problems that are not identified be solved?

All they did was recruit thugs as lastma personnels without any form of criminal background check.Most them are area boys(like dem ekoile aka babapupa) who were brutally robbing people under bridges that took the opportunity earn/extort monies legally from hardworking and somehow unruly drivers.

Unruly because the system is unruly and fashola is not making it better by using thugs to harss and kill innocent citizens.

Eisenhower: as if we are not tired of impotation .so teee dem go import festival from brazil and the carribean.

It is all about black thing,you know.It is good to incorporate.It is colorful.

The carribeans and brazilians you are talking about are mostly africans that were carted away by the oyinbos.They incorporated african culture with that of the western hemisphere and created the carnival themes and allures.

berem: The man don try na! E no easy to live up to dat age.

Not even in a normal world where people live long it is easy to hit that age and still be functional.

He is a legend,he can only go to rest,not dead.

babapupa: Oloshi, death is yours and only yours since its only you and your bitter and miserable people crying and losing sleep over Christmas light.

Go and die. Fashola is not your father and lagosians don't give a damn about you and your dead azzz.

You think miseries can be hidden,it all over you.As soon as you speaks,it emanates.You stink of ignorance and of course misery.Not even thousands of miles apart will not shed it.

Lagos is a state in my country and it belongs to me,all reasonable africans and humanity in general.

Stone age man,you are long dead.

The guy dey colo.I like him though,he is less sinister than the rest of the yoruba tribal bigots like ekoile,babapupa or whatever he calls himself and bluetooth.Not to forget the reigning tribal bigot queen herself,desola.

babapupa: Please shut up and kill yourself with your sorrow, sadness and bitterness, Lagosians won't miss your floating dead body under 3MB.

You are living dead,at least i will die someday and that will be my only death.But all your miserable life,you lived it dead.

2015 is at hand.Even the little the ignorants have will be taken from them.

This guy dey colo.And he is always being taken seriously by some people,i dont know why?

He is got a soft melancholy.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]I learned from you young ppl in this section. My puzzie may be old and wrinkly at age 47, but I can still parry like its hot.[/quote]Yeah.I can tell you borrowed a leaf from african american women in that regards.Ever young.

But i think you should sound more happier most times

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]You no know before?[/quote]No.How do you manage to keep up with the conventional yarns like being nasty the way you come across sometimes?Or do you like them young?

blink182: first of all, to get these minerals from the ground, labour is needed. If that is all we gain we should be ok with it while we gradually press for government to be more prudent.

I understand all that,given a chance nigeria can only but grow.But we can do better with accountable leadership and accountable leadership is the birth right of any free human being,anything short of that are slavery,subjection and man's inhumanity against man.

[quote author=tobimotors][/quote]I think too much beating and oversubduing of nigerian youths as children have turned them to jellyfish without stings.The dont seem to have opinions of their on,the feel of responsibilities and directions.That is why most them only come here to ask who among the failed elders is better to lead them.

demmy: Keep on thinking like that my friend and you will be left in the gutter. Revenue generations are already making difference. Opportunities abound in Nigeria. In the next 5-10 year Nigeria will be the undisputed No. 1 economy in Africa. All sectors of the economy are growing with agriculture leading the way. Don't miss out.

I dont think you are seeing very clearly,because the way things are going there wont be nigeria in the nest 5-10 years.A society cannot thrive or develop in a cesspit of corruption called nigeria.The leaders are literally bandits that carts away everything within their reach like warlords carting away spoils of war.
