Business / Cms Marina Road Rehabilitation, Lagos Cbd Calls For Understanding And Caution by nemadfsyahooc: 3:27pm On Aug 18, 2021
The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Central Business Districts, Mr. Olugbenga Oyerinde has appealed for patience and understanding of road users, residents and business owners within the CMS Marina Axis as reconstruction and rehabilitation works continues on the roads.

Oyerinde, made the appeal while supervising the control of traffic by CBD operatives within the Lagos Island CBD which had been experiencing heavy traffic situation occasioned by road rehabilitation activities within the axis.

He noted that there was the need to continually appeal to motorists, residents and business owners to exercise patience, obey traffic diversions and traffic rules to mitigate on the upsurge of traffic build up as a result of the road rehabilitation work.
He appealed to motorists to observe speed limits around the construction zones, obey diversion signs and bear the temporary inconvenience that comes with the rehabilitation.

“CBD and other relevant traffic agencies have adequately deployed personnel and resources to be on duty to control traffic and adequate traffic signage’s and diversion notices have been made available to ease the flow of traffic and I want to beg that all road users within the Lagos Island business district should please comply with these simple rules, drive safely, drive slowly especially around diversions. Oyerinde said.

He continued “To residents and business owners, who live and do business around here, we want to seek their understanding, definitely traffic has increased, please tolerate us, accept us for this moment. It is difficult to construct a road of this nature without any discomfort.’’
Oyerinde explained that rehabilitation work is ongoing smoothly on various sections of the outer Marina and diversion of traffic from appropriate areas to fast track construction on the important sections have been made. He noted that due to the rehabilitation work, traffic inward Eko Bridge, Broad Street and connecting inner Marina from Martins Street are affected.

He pledged the readiness of CBD operatives with other relevant agencies to manage the situation on daily basis.
He warned miscreants not to take advantage of the traffic situations to perpetrate evil as security agencies are fully on ground to prevent any criminality.

While calling on shop owners and traders to desist from displaying their wares on roadsides and streets, he disclosed that CBD operatives will continue to dislodge road and street traders as well as remove any impediments constructed on the road setbacks and drainage alignments.

Business / Using An Arrow Light Sign To Market Your Business by andrewpaul9005: 5:36am On Jul 23, 2021
The arrow light sign is a versatile and convenient way for business owners to get their message out. They are a cost effective solution when you consider the time and effort it takes to write and distribute postcards, and post signs in communities and intersections. There are several different kinds of arrow lights available. Some of them are even hand-powered for that added touch of convenience. There is something for everyone and every business. Take a look at some of the options below and find the best choice for your situation.

You can choose from LED lights for any type of arrow sign. There are several different types including accent and motion-sensitive. LED lights are available in various colors so you can easily match your sign with existing building fixtures or paint colors. They are incredibly bright and last up to fifty thousand hours, making them a great long-term investment.

The mini LED light is another option. These are perfect for off-site signage as well as indoor use. They are small and easy to install and there is no need to have an electrical outlet nearby. They are available in black, white and blue, but also come in multicolor models so you can choose the color that appeals to you. The LED lights are extremely bright and are suitable for any location.

One of the most popular is the solar-powered sign. The LED is encased within a clear plastic tube, so it will blend in with surrounding surroundings. Once installed, the sunlight will automatically illuminate the sign, which means it will be noticeable even during low light periods or in dark places.

Sign companies also offer a number of other options including LED under-glass signs, LED external signs and LED external lights. They can come with or without a lip. Under-glass signs are solid, which makes them highly visible in fog or darkness. They are also very weatherproof, making them very suitable for outside use.

Another type of arrow light sign is the LED arrow sign. These lights allow users to point with accuracy. If you need directional directions, these are ideal. In addition to pointing in the right direction, these signs can also display words, logos and numbers.

LED lights provide the best visibility and brightness out of all the options. The arrow light option on these signs allows them to be installed wherever necessary. These signs can be used indoors, outdoors or in any climate. The LED lights are more durable and have a brighter light, which is perfect when it comes to directing people.

The arrow signs are the easiest way to get a huge impact. When used in combination with LED lights, you will get the best visibility possible. You should ensure you place these in the right locations, as they must be easily visible from a distance. When you are choosing an arrow sign, ensure that you get one with the longest beam. This helps you get a clear beam so you know you are directing traffic in the right direction.

It is not just directional arrows that help people get to where they are going. They can come in various shapes and sizes. For instance, there are animal shaped arrow options. There are also options that help you get through thick vegetation or large rocks.

These signs are great if you want to get a message across. You could use them to express appreciation to employees or students. It is important to have clear communication with your customers. If you cannot communicate via signs, you should try it with this tool.

When it comes to the costs, you can always choose a cheaper option. However, this may come at the expense of the effectiveness. However, if you are willing to pay more, you get high-quality lighting, visibility and durability. When choosing LED lights for your arrow light sign, you should ensure you choose the ones with a longer lifespan. This will help you save money in the long run, so it is worth the investment.

Whether you are looking to get visibility for a short period of time or a longer one, using these signs is very advisable. Not only do they work well to attract customers, but they are also very durable and easy to install. You can even choose to have them laser cut if you want to have a custom design. With these lights, you can be sure your business will run smoothly.

Why is the issue of one way rampant in Lagos and we don't have that in Fct?

Yes, some drivers can be very stubborn. But LASG has not been above board in proper signage.

I mean the NO Rickshaw/Motorbike kind of signage and not the self help approach (E. g barikisu iyede/Unilag road). Even the one way around bolade oshodi., @ igbehinadun street and the one Off kunle akinosi road are classical cases of Low signage visibility and poor positioning.

Not to mention the one at dopemu Bridge. embarassed How on earth will a signage that can't be visible within 50m distance be placed at the foot of the road itself, waoh, Lagos!

Situation is so sad that men of the force including traffic teams leave their assigned beats to start hiding behind these traps looking for unsuspecting road users.


The law is draconian in nature and we all know it only provides leverage for LASG traffic officials in the negotiation of bribes on the street. Too many things are wrong with this country all at the same time

Peradventure you find yourself at ICM, Ikeja.

Avoid parking at the fringes of the exit and entrance gates. ( the one opposite alausa sect. / Bero auditorium and the one directly opposite that Testing ground signpost) ,

There is an actual No Parking signage at both points.
Putting on your hazard lights won't help you.

The MIB attached to that axis move periodically to hunt for meat cool. Don't fall prey, You don't wait for your rider there, your rider must be the one waiting for you, if it's a pick up, it must be done with precision.

Your safest pick up point on Weekends is, the Place, Kafi street.

Some of the things you will need to learn is how to scale the frozen food, how to fix the price, where to buy the products, how to store it and how to relate with your customers. 



REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS NAME:
Registering your business name is one of the steps you need to take to launch your frozen food business.



 It will make your business have a corporate look and you can use your business name to open a corporate account, register on online payment processors and even secure grants and funds from the Government and private organisations. 




 INCORPORATE YOUR BUSINESS:


If you are starting as a sole proprietorship i will advise you to just register your business name first and incorporate your business as Limited Liability Company as your Company  grows. But if you have enough money to Incorporate your business, you can go ahead and do so.



Some Grants, Loans providers just request for a Business name, therefore Business name Registration is good for a start. 



LOOK FOR A GOOD LOCATION WHERE YOU WILL SET UP THE BUSINESS 


While looking for a location where you are going to set up your frozen food business you have to watch out for the following;



How close is your frozen food shop to the market?

If you are too close to the market, you will not make as much sales as someone who is far away from the market. 



Also you have to consider getting a lockup shop in the market or in the street. If you are inside the market you are going to make more sales but at the same time you will have many competitors to contend with and that may cause a downwards review of the prices of frozen foods products unlike someone who is on the street. 



How consistent is the electricity supply in the area?

Frozen foods business needs an area that has a steady supply of electricity. Therefore when you are looking for a place to establish your business, make sure you do so in an area with constant electricity otherwise you will incur a lot of expenses buying fuel for your generator which will affect your overall profit. 



Always carry out a background check, to ascertain the nature of electricity supply in the area.



How densely populated is the area?



The more desnsely populate the area is, the higher your customer base.  You have to check how densely populated the area is, if you set up your business in a street where hundreds of people live, you will make more sales than someone who is located in a scantily populated street.



There are many densely populated streets where nobody is selling frozen food, you can just carry out a research and find out.



How secure is the Area?

You have to check the level of security of the area where you want to establish your frozen food business to avoid losing your equipment and products to the hands of thieves. 



GET AN E-COMMERCE WEBSITE AND LAUNCH AN ONLINE FROZEN FOOD STORE:

Dopemu bridge, if you are coming from akowonjo/ dopemu axis to cross over to Agege n environs, after 3pm, you can't use the bridge. The landmark is two metallic beams painted yellow or so at the foot of the bridge.

The signage is there, but there's a problem, it's at the foot of the entrance, so if you r not observant, you are already inside before you realise what's happening.


Advisory :
Stay sharp and frosty when you are on the mainland.

Drive with mental alertness whenever you are in a terrain you are not familiar with,( even Gmap will lead you astray at that point) follow the regular Keke if you are not sure.

You can't drive with any mental alertness in Lagos guy.

Even if we start stating and listing all the one way and illegal turns in lagos people will still fall prey to this guys... Unfortunately there's nothing anyone can do but God.

Case close.
