Not just safety and security, also severe traffic snarl in Lagos metropolis. But, Mr. Governor, please identify genuine Lagosian okada and Keke operators affected by the ban and rehabilitate them or offer palliatives. None indigenes should go to their respective zones or another business area. I support the ban. Only that it was without countermeasures.

Let's see if he can sustain the tempo or it's just out of fear of Supreme court reviews Nice move though.

I feel very embarrassed when I see an educated person in this generation talk this way, education is not just about the theories you read in school but for critical thinking, so nobody can decieve you, oga go back to primary 1..if this is how you still think in this generation, terrorism has nothing to do with religion, if you just sit in one village and type rubbish because you don't travel, go out or know what's happening in the world then sit there in your community and stop typing rubbish here.
People here re learned and civilized.

You have a serious problem with comprehension.

Good evening my good people. Our result just came out today and my worst imagination has happened. I saw my name in 2:2 division, what I have always tried to avoid since my year 1. I know it's my project supervisor that fvcked me up cause he has been hostile to me for no reason. I feel really bad, but that did has been done.

So, I just want to know how bad is 2:2 in Nigerian market? Is it something to count on or should I just move on like I never went to the university??

I need answers please!!

Bros, if u can help it, go get a master's degree. If u can't, look for work or do some stuff like business or entrepreneurship. U aint lost, you have a very bright prospect. I know many 2.2 who turned out better than the firstclasses. Believe me, it's all in you, it depends on how you see it. Anywhere u are applying for job always include your CPGA beside 2.2, it helps as well. Are you aware that the famed and cerebral lawyer, late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, was a third-class product? Are u aware that late Chief F.R.A. Williams was also 3 class? Where were the first-classes of their respective era? Good luck.

That's great. Except that the neatness and tidiness of the environment is UnNigerian Despite the NYSC integration, our country is still as divided as ever. Haba!!

What's there to be in Nigeria For by the way? People no go still come

They can still come, only that we are battling the worst form of terrorism and armed banditry. All lizards lie prostrate, no one knows which one suffers bellyache.

FIRE SAFETY AS A NATIONAL AND GLOBAL IMPERATIVE
By Clarius Ugwuoha
The wave of fire incidents in recent times, claiming precious lives and millions of naira worth of properties in Nigeria and elsewhere, raises global fire safety imperative. It took the razing of the Ochanja market in Onitsha for the government of Anambra state to rise to the critically unsafe inadequacies in her fire emergency response armoury. This lack-proactive approach is not a best practice in a responsible environment. The very sad part is that the fire incident at Onitsha, and indeed other places, which gutted innumerable properties, destroyed life, etched irredeemable imprints on psyches and business, is preventable! Fire incidents continue to pose a serious challenge globally with California and Australia wild Fires almost becoming a yearly metaphor, enigmatic and seemingly intractable!
Is it not instructive that in busy and overcrowded markets and businesses there is no single fire extinguisher in place? Where there are, they are simply there to fulfil all righteousness. They are either not fit for purpose or no trained personnel to administer the extinguisher in times of need or emergency. Thus, preventable small fires morph into highly calamitous events and continue to cripple businesses and claim lives.
Extinguishers are Fire-specific. This many people do not know. The source of fire is important in choice of extinguishers. For instance, electrically energized fires cannot be safely quenched with water or foam-based extinguishers. They are best quenched with carbon dioxide based for electrical fires of all voltages and dry powder for fires not exceeding 1000 volts source. What causes Fire outbreak?
Fire is a result of Chemical reaction. There must be source of heat, fuel and an oxidizing agent for fire to occur and the elements must be combined in the right proportion. Fire Extinguisher Chemistry is precise and clear-cut, built around the control of these three important elements.
There are five main types of fire extinguishers – Water-based, Foam, Dry Powder, Carbon Dioxide and Wet Chemical-based respectively. Water-based extinguishers have bright red code and are suitable for ordinary combustibles like paper, wood, cloth and the like. Foam-based are coded cream and appropriate for both ordinary combustibles and inflammable liquids. Dry powder, coded blue, is suitable for a wide range of fire sources except domestic fires as from cooking or frying pans. They are also not effective for high-voltage electrical fires above one thousand volts. They can be used for liquid, metal and gaseous fires. Carbon dioxide-based extinguishers have black code and are suitable for flammable liquids and all electrical fires; while wet chemical, labelled yellow, are most effective for domestic fires.
Knowledge of basic fire safety techniques would spare the world costly losses in human life and materials. The various Governments and Non-Governmental Organizations should strive to educate the masses on Fire Safety imperatives. Markets and businesses, offices and public places, private and public vehicles, should as a matter of minimum standards have basic fire extinguishers and trained personnel in place. There should be Fire Services stations not only in the capital areas of various states but also satellite towns and communities. Emergency Response drills would keep Fire personnel on the cutting edge and prevent the kind of lack-lustre and lack-proactive response that aided the fire incident at Ochanja market and elsewhere.

My brother, you can make payment online but if you fail to do the RIGHT thing at chosen office they will delay you tire!

Hmmm. Let them stay there o. Evacuating them means spreading the epidemic freely in Nigeria as we don't have the capacity to control or manage spread.

Terrorism actually is not religious. But what cant be disputed is that 99.9% of modern terrorist groups are Muslims.

I do not know if it has to do with Religious indoctrination or social factors or both.

We should not however antagonize harmless Muslims because a certain Islamic group is violent. We should also not pretend that all Christians are harmless.

Let us collectively put an end to terrorism. Let us say NO to suicide bombing and other terror acts.

Let us begin with ourselves, immediate families and neighbours. Report suspicious acts where u have no power to effect correction or redirection.

I thought THEY said Abacha was clean and stole nothing? Where is all these revelations coming from?? Abacha loot is clearly bottomless. Only God knows how much they are looting today. Poor country!!

I hope this does not include the so-called free entry to every dick and harry in Africa

Please include graphic, op. This is the worst anybody can do to fellow man. The depth of hatred is clear for all to see. Too sad. May the soul of the departed rest in peace, amen.

Rest in peace, Daniel Arap Moi. For decades he bestrode Kenyan politics like a colossus. Nothing lasts for ever, truly. We will all be like that one day with only our good works to speak for us.

Thank God for you. It's well. You are healed forever from all affliction, amen!

The main the main eniyan buburu

If we are winning the war against insecurity, what led to the spike in killings in recent times? Truth is bitter. We cannot be deceived. We are not safe at all. Period. Amotekun should go round all regions for proper security.

Exercise in futility. It's in fact making Trump much more popular. With elections so close, why are Democrats so bent on removing Trump? They should wait to evict him at the poll if he is so anti-America. The enlightened populace must be seeing it too, not just Speaker Pelosi and fellow Democratic law makers.

Continuity in government is becoming an issue. Also, the Local Government has continued to remain an appendage of the state government. The stranglehold is the same everywhere. This doesn't speak well of our democracy.

Very nice initiative on paper. The implementation is the matter. Many ghost farmers will certainly benefit to the detriment of real farmers who really needed this incentive.

Good. The church can help us this way. If they can genuinely apply the enormous spiritual and material resources gainfully back to the society, crime will come down. Kudos to the church and the man of God at the centre of it all.

The truth is that the withdrawal was too abrupt without palliatives. The common man go hear am.

Good development. Intra-city rail system is also advised. The traffic gridlock on Lagos streets is a metaphor.

40secondsMan:
Well, thanks.

I just wanted to point out to you How superfluous your rant is over this topic.
A simple perusal over the post would have helped you to understand the real meaning of the post and why it is a good move.
Just know that it is to early for wailing.

ok bye!

I read the post thoroughly and I don't have comprehension issues. It was an advice I thought superfluous in the African context though germane elsewhere. You and I know that the enlightenment for self-quarantine in cases of suspected exposure is not there. What the government can do is to raise grassroots awareness and initiate ways and means of isolating suspected cases for quarantine. Many people are still dying of HIV/AIDS despite free tests and treatment available in many government hospitals. People will rather go to babalawos that they are having spiritual attack or witchcraft other than self-quarantine. It's the reality here.

40secondsMan:
with all due respect....Pls shut up!

U are a big bold idiot.

This is just funny, coming from government which knows our people very well. Oyinbo can self-quarantine but black man thinketh not that way. There is no social welfare if you don't work. There is no punishment for breach so who will obey??

No dulling. Chioma is truly pretty. That's the charm she used to rein in on OBO. She is indeed pretty. Gather here if you concur.

Well, they have money to burn. If I were to decide, it's crazy to wed in foreign land to impress whoever. Only inferiority or superiority complex can occasion this. I am yet to see Arabs or Indians or whites coming to Africa to wed unless the spouse or so is from here. We cant learn.

China don cast o. Who wan 'chop' virus infected apple? Please, our country should mind goods coming from China most especially those being smuggled in.

Insecurity seems to have been weaponized by successive governments as a political tool. I think Buhari did not start it. But he seemed to have been cordoning the excesses of his Fulani brothers. That's where I score him critically low. If he could rein in on the Fulani, Nigerians will know peace and progress. Now, with this trend, descent to ethnic crisis seems all but certain.
