naptu2: 1) It depends on the kind of business you are talking about.

2) It's not just about the health and safety measures you take, it's also about the public infrastructure that is available in a given area.

For example, I once lived in a residential area on the Lagos Mainland. A business man (who is now very famous) also had a block of flats in that area. However, beneath the block of flats he had his warehouse (where motorcycle parts were stored and assembled).

The whole neighbourhood suffered because of that warehouse. On a given night he could have 12 or more massive articulated trucks (aka trailers) delivering goods to the warehouse. This is a residential area with narrow roads. The whole neighbourhood would be at a standstill.

I remember that, back in the day, Broad Street, which was a one way street, was by far wider than Bourdillon Road, which was a two way street. This was because Broad Street was in the business district, while Bourdillon Road was in, what was then a residential district.

It's for a similar reason that the Lagos State Government denied planning permission to the developers that want to convert the Federal Secretariat into a block of flats. Questions: do you have enough parking spaces? Are there enough policemen, health centres, etc to service that development?

I remember that, back in the day, traffic jams were non-existent on Victoria Island, but when the zoning system broke down, the traffic jams became hellish.

Roads in residential areas usually have a specified thickness, because of the kinds and number of vehicles that are expected to ply those roads. Roads in industrial areas are much thicker because it is expected that articulated trucks, etc will ply those roads.
Thank you for throwing more light on it, I did not see things from this perspective before.

Technology MarketNew Ipad Mini Review by shiftbutton(op): 2:36pm On Jan 07, 2013
Apple has never been known to abide by industry trends; instead, they have always been known to be trend setters more than followers. The iPhone, iPad and iPod touch are three very good examples of products that have sparked innovation in their respective segment. However, last month, it seemed as if Apple was finally playing catch up when they launched the iPad mini. The 7-inch tablet segment received a big boost after Google launched the Nexus 7 at a very aggressive price. On the surface, the iPad mini seems like a shrunken down version of the iPad and in a way, it is just that. However, in order to keep the pricing competitive, Apple has had to cut some corners which you may or may not like.

Video Review



Apple iPad mini caught on video


Design and Build
The iPad mini measures about 7.9-inches diagonally and features an LED-backlit IPS panel. The aspect remains the same as its big brother so apps don’t need any changing. Apple has chosen to go with a very slim bezel for the sides so they could squeeze in a larger display in a chassis that’s similar to a 7-inch tablet. This makes the screen appear a lot bigger but it does make it a bit tricky to use in portrait mode as the sides of your thumb invariably tend to hit the screen. This is not much of a problem when you’re holding the tablet with one hand. The home button takes its rightful place at the bottom while the front facing camera sits stark center on the top.


Smaller and sleeker


The mini is incredibly thin at just 7.2mm in depth and light as well at just 308g. It’s possibly one of the lightest tablets out there like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 310 and the Google Nexus 7. Because of this aspect alone, the iPad mini feels wonderful in your hand. This also makes it a very good option as an eReader, as those who have the habit of reading books while sleeping will not experience too much fatigue even for extended periods of time. The sides house the volume toggle switch along with the switch to toggle silent mode. The power and 3.5-mm headphone jack sit on the top while on the bottom, we have the mic, speaker and the new Lightning Connector.


iSight camera captures really good detail for a tablet


The aluminium back has a powder coating that’s unfortunately very prone to scratches. In fact, just days after taking it out of the box, it already looks a month old. Fingerprints are a challenge to remove off the matte surface by simply using dry cloth and the logo at the back scuffs pretty easily as well. The coating also chips easily if you drop it but thankfully it doesn’t dent easily and the glass can survive the knocks of everyday use. The build quality is very good, something we’ve come to expect from an Apple product. However, there’s not much detailing along the edges so it lacks the premium feel of the iPhone 5.

Interface and Media
The Apple iPad mini runs iOS 6.0.1 and the look and feel is just like you’d find on a standard iPad. We’ve covered the important features in detail in the past along with a comparison with other mobile OS' so we won’t delve too much into those today. Suffice to say the UI is quick and fluid and this time around and like the Retina iPad, you also get Siri as part of the package. Another advantage of the mini is that all the HD apps that are designed for the iPad are fully compatible with this one. Also, since it uses the same 1024 x 768 resolution of the iPad 2 on a smaller screen, the ppi count is also higher. It’s not Retina-grade of course, but it’s still a lot better than it was on the iPad 2. This is one area where we felt Apple could have done better. A higher resolution screen would have probably upped the cost a bit but the experience would have been better. Those who have a Retina iPad will immediately be able to notice pixels around icons but for most, it shouldn’t be a big issue.


Decent multimedia performance


Beating underneath all this glass and aluminium is the same A5 SoC we’ve seen in the iPad 2. This consists of dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip along with a PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics chip. The SoC still manages to pack a punch for most apps but newer ones that are designed for the faster Retina iPad and above tend to frame a lot, especially games. For example, DesertZombie looks really good but every now and then, you’ll notice some lag as the frame rate drops quite a bit. This hint of lag is also sometimes noticeable in the UI.

Media playback is good with a good pair of headphones. The new music player is quite nice although we do feel that in their quest for a minimalistic look, the player controls and other menu options are a little too small, especially on such a large screen. Audio through the rear speaker is also nice and loud should you feel the need to entertain some of your friends.
