Am I getting this wrong?
I thought they said trailers should only ply the road at night

This is naija where anytin goes

A tragic accident happened earlier today at 2nd Rainbow close to Mile 2 area of Lagos after a trailer loaded with two 20feet containers lost control and fell on the highway.According to reports,a commercial motorcyclist narrowly escaped death in the tragedy.The exact cause of the incident is yet to be ascertained except for sketchy reports that the trailer lost control and fell on the highway

There has been a controversy on whether there was really a massacre of Nigerian soldiers in the north or not.Although Nigerian army denied the report,the military later issued a contradictory statement that the alleged missing soldiers had returned.

However the headline on the headline of yesterday's daily news is giving Nigerians a serious concern/to have a rethink.What is your take on the post?

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) said on Monday that it has deployed 2,200 corps members to Borno State for the 2015/2016 service year.

The Public Relations Officers of NYSC in the state, Mr. Suleiman Aliyu, who disclosed this in Maiduguri, the state capital, said: “2200 Corps members have been deployed to Borno State for the exercise which orientation camping is scheduled to hold between Wednesday 25th November to Monday 14 December 2015.”

Aliyu , who said that the 2,200 corps members would do their orientation in Benue, Gombe and Nasarawa States, added that Katsina State had been designated to host the forthcoming 2015 Batch B stream orientation programme.

‎The NYSC official however lamented that the Boko Haram crisis which has bedeviled the state since 2011 was responsible for the relocation of the orientation camping to outside the state , saying the state coordinator of the scheme would like to see the state governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, grace the swearing in ceremony of the corps members on Friday.

“It may interest you to know that the presence of Bauchi state governor and his cabinet had made corps members who earlier seek to redeploy elsewhere to change their mind thereby canceling their relocation to stay in Bauchi. Why can Borno do the same?

“We wish to urge the Borno state Governor, Kashim Shettima, to show more concern to the new corps members that will be sworn-in in Katsina on Friday. It will encourage them to stay in the state instead of seeking redeployment elsewhere,” Aliyu said.

I'm glad that Mrs Remi Tinubu has burried the hatchet, and has agreed to work with the Senate leadership, to enact laws that will move this nation forward. Her conduct at the ministerial screening of Obanikoro last year is still fresh in my mind. She really disgraced women, on that day. I hope, this is am indication that Saraki and the President, will now look into how to solve the persistent fuel distribution crisis.The effect of this scarcity is telling on Nigerians, in every part of the nation.

exactly.All we need is a way to move naija forward

Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano took a tour of the Coched Farms in Anaku, Ayamelum Local Government Area and assured that the State would soon attract more prominent investors in the agricultural sector.

Hinting that Dangote may soon join the array of prominent investors looking for a foothold in the agricultural sector of the state, Governor Obiano further revealed that negotiations are ongoing with some consulting firms in the Netherlands and Australia for the construction of an irrigation project that would support a three- cycle planting season in the area.

According to him, the state is on course to achieving food sufficiency in rice production and contributing significantly to efforts to reduce the rice supply deficit in the country.

Governor Obiano made this declaration recently while inspecting the 300-hectare rice field belonging to Coched Farms Limited, a subsidiary of Coscharis Limited, in Anaku, Ayamelum LGA of the state.He was accompanied to the farm by Hon. Rita Maduagwu, Speaker, Anambra State House of Assembly and welcomed  by Mr. Cosmas Maduka, Chairman, Coched Farms Ltd and Mr Bharat Dhir, General Manager, Coched Farms Ltd.

Coched Farms Limited is the largest commercial farm in the state with a total of 2,800 hectares of land for rice farming with a lake from which water is channelled to all parts for irrigation purposes.

Governor Obiano who spoke after touring the farm, observed that the project, a joint venture between the state government and Coched Farms, has within months of operation, put on ground significant efforts despite the enormous cost of clearing the land and creating access routes to all parts.

The Governor who noted that the state is at present producing 20,000 metric tons of rice against the 300,000 metric tons that is consumed in the state, creating a gap of 240,000 metric tons, said when fully operational, the farm would produce about 150,000 while the production by out-grower farmers is expected to overturn the remaining deficit.

The Chairman, Coscharis Group, Chief Cosmas Maduka said they are collaborating with out-growers who they are providing improved rice seedlings and who in turn, is expected to produce 50% cent of the total production target required by the Rice Mill they would be constructing soon, adding that when it operates at full capacity, the total land area of the farm would be 508 Square kilometres.

On his part, the General Manager of the farm, Mr Bharat Dhir explained that the farm was constructed according to international standards, while every part of the farm has been well irrigated to support the full scale rice production.

'I am delighted to once again welcome you this morning to share with you and by extension the general public about the activities of the Command in the last few days. It would not be out of context for me to say that our efforts in crime fighting in the State are yielding significant results. This can be predicated in our sustained and improved response time to distress calls.

The team chased the suspected kidnappers thereby forcing them to abandon the victim, their operational vehicle and the victim’s Lexus Jeep registration No. ABJ 724 BC. One of the suspected kidnappers also got fatally wounded during shot out with policemen. This effort has no doubt confirmed that our response time to distress calls has greatly improved.

Similarly, one Austin Kalu ‘m’ 28 years who was kidnapped on 07/11/2015 at Rumudara was safely rescued on 13/11/2015 at Ogbakiri forest while one of the suspected kidnappers named Emenike Sunday was arrested and a locally made short gun and five live cartridges were recovered at the scene.
