We stand by Paris

A survivor said-
They, ( the attackers) did n't understand that this was a multi cultural area where Jews, Christians and Muslims all mix.

patronising the IVM cars.

 The cars are beautiful with modern looks, appeal and gadgets.

 The government of Nigeria can make it a priority for every Ministry, Department and Agency to buy IVM brand cars for Executive, Personnel and Utility purposes.

That's one benefit IVM should get because it is made in Nigeria.
If we buy more cars from IVM, we help to keep the jobs of their workers secured.

We do not expect the Americans to drop their Cadillac in preference for a Mercedes Benz as Executive transport car for President Obama...

And the Trains are back in Nigeria

I grew up to reach twenty something years old before I saw the first moving train in Nigeria.

The only Train.
Running from Ebute Metta-Yaba-Sango Ota was the only operational Rail Line route as what most people can conclude.
Other tracks and routes have been left abandoned, neglected and seemed forever impossible tthat Trains will connect the vast land scape of Nigeria again.

The Story.
The first Rail Road in Nigeria was constructed by the British colonial
government in 1898.
By October 3, 1912 the Lagos government Rail Way and the Kano- Baro Rail Way were amalgamated, thus began the Government Department of Railways. After the passing of the Nigeria Railway Corporation act of 1955, the Nigeria Railway Corporation was born.




Abandoned.
Lack of maintenance of Railway assets like tracks and locomotives, the Nigeria Railway Corporation was left for dead from the 1970s to the 2000s, with scanty or no operations in most route.

A bright future begins.
Since 2012-2013, passenger service returned to the Lagos- Kano route as the Government gives attention to the NRC with some foreign assistance.
Although the service may be laden with some challenges and imperfections for now but the big news is that soon, the Trains are goin to be linked to the sea ports in Lagos and Port Harcourt for effective movement of passengers, goods and fuel from south to north of the Country.
As time goes on, the Nigeria Railway Corporation would begin to fulfill it's full obligations to support land transportation in Nigeria.

Open Manholes.

 A cyclist fell into this manhole and broke his leg.

 A manhole is an opening to an underground chamber or a confined space that give access for maintenance or installations of cables or utilities.

In Lagos,most manholes that serve this purpose have either been abandoned or such cables or utilities underneath are no more in use.

During road construction activity, newly constructed manholes are left opened for many weeks and months, posing great danger to pedestrains, motorists and riders.

Relevant construction companies and the government should ensure the prompt closure of manholes before they cause more damage to vehicles, motor cycles and even injuries to pedestrains.

flying In the RAIN. Safe or Unsafe.

Your flight may be delayed, but such delay will affect other flights and not yours alone.

Thunder storms contain high speed variable winds that are dangerous to aircrafts, your pilot knows this so he won't be flying you into a thunder storm.

Pilots won't take off if a thunder storm is directly on the departure path or if one is around the airport.

Pilots won't take off into heavy precipitation (heavy rains) even if there is no thunder storm involved.

Once your aircraft has gained altitude, heavy rains is not a big problem.

It is during take off and landing that a pilot needs to avoid the possibility of strong down drafts (movement of air downwards) which are associated with heavy rains.

There is nothing to bother much.
Your flight might only be delayed and you arrive late at your destination.

Relax, sit back and enjoy the flight.

Danger Voyage

Even if they are running away from Conflicts, War Zones, Famine, Unemployment, Political Persecution, or just to seek the Better Life, the choice of medium illegal immigrants employ are getting more dangerous. 

Africans fleeing from Africa for any reason will use some of these methods;
1. Trekking through the desert.

2. Camels and Donkeys.
3. Using even paddle boats to cross the straits of Gilbrata into Spain.

Illegal migration is expensive, unsafe, and most important, you are not guaranteed you will make it successfully to your destination.

Many illegal immigrants hav lost their lives in those dangerous journeys or branch out to become armed bandits, or sold out as slaves or sex workkers.

They are, in some cases, attacked by bandits and armed thieves.

Illegal travellers also suffer in the hands of corrupt and wicked customs officials, w caught in illegal entry points of such Countries.

Now is the time for the World to act now by discouraging people from embarking on journeys of no return.

I will be back soon

I was away and out of station this long.
