FUTURE CIVIL AIR TRANSPORT

The Quad Deck Monster Jumbo Jet by Phil Pauley.

As air passengers and tourists grow, so it will be for air craft sizes to grow to monster flying machines.

Anchor Walker

the most dangerous road in the World.

The Apapa- Oshodi express way in Lagos state Nigeria.
From the mile 2 end of the road to the sea ports is the most dangerous areas.
Vehicles, Motor Cycles and Pedestrians struggle for space caused by total blockade of the entire opposite by heavy trucks.

THE FIRST EVER MADE IN GHANA CARS.

Good and Very Good, is the word used to describe the Kantanka car from Ghana.

To test it's tough, rugged and reliable built, the Ghana Police will be the first to use it and if it survives the Police torturing, then the Katanga car is good for the public and ready to take on foreign brands for it's share of the markets.

Mr Kwagwo Sato Jr, the CEO of Kantanka Group said " The biggest challenge is people believing and having faith In the car. People think the doors will fall off or the tyres will blow off or something...

As the police prepares to start using this cars, Kantanka is  certain the cars will live up to it's reputation.

THE HIGHWAY RUNNERS.

A man was knock down on this spot recently, by a high speed car, he has a long road of recovery to make.

Despite the Lagos State government' s enforcement and campaigns, the highway runners still persist in their deadly quest to make a quick dash across the road in front of dangerous traffic.

Welcome to the Okota-cele express bus stop in Lagos State Nigeria...

The Government spent money to build this pedestrian bridge for people to cross the road in safety but some of this people don't see the need for the bridge.

Whenever we try to ask a risk taker why they prefer to face traffic danger instead of using the bridge, they just laugh or smile it off. One man said, the stairs in the ped-x bridge are too many, another said, the stress of climbing it is too difficult and wastes time.

But that little time and stress spent in climbing the bridge, might just save a life.

The worst case I have seen was a woman that crossed her 4 little kids. I held my breadth tight as she and those little kids made the cross.

When I questioned her of the danger, she just said, I am too tired to climb.

I wished the Local Council guys were around to arrest her.

Although several arrest are made, but still dose n't deter people. I  think stiffer sanctions for offenders should be applied.

THE LAGOS STATE NEW POLICE CARS

 This is a departure from the old order when Nigerian police cars are only pick up vans like the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Pick ups.

Too bad for their sluggish appeal.
Enter the new patrol cars for the Lagos State Police Command.
I have seen the Ford Focus and the Toyota Corolla, modern, cream white color, body marked stripes, toll and serial numbers.

The RRS.
Rapid Response Squad is the first Lagos State anti armed robbery busters, created in the 1990s by Military Administration of Colonel Marwa.
The RRS will be the first in line to use the modern cars for patrols.

Some police cars of some states in Germany.

 In Baden Wurrtenberg, the police use the Mercedes Benz E class and the Bavaria the police use the BMW.
Well, they are rich, hence they can afford luxury brands.

The other Police Command

We also want more states in Nigeria to adapt to decent cars in their patrol duties, especially the oil rich states of Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom.

Maintenance and Spares

Keeping the new patrol cars clean and in good working condition means maintenance should be a top priority for th officers assigned to those cars.
In my opinion, using several brand makes of cars is going to pose challenge in availability of spare parts and mastery of repairs.
Most police departments all over the world stick one brand make for this reason.

Even in military Aviation, the need to maintain similar platforms stem from this consideration of spare parts and maintenance.
An example is the Lockheed C-130 Transport Aircraft.

I wish the Anambra state police command leads the way by purchasing IVM cars for patrol and personnel transport.

In so doing, most states in the eastern Nigeria, will follow cause.
