Politics / Props To Ambode For The Fast Work On Lekki Epe Expressway (pics Included) by EnigmaticEnigma(m): 10:15pm On Jan 22, 2017
I was doubtful at first of this project, as I thought it would be riddled with chaos (as it still sometimes is), but for the most part, this has been a well thought out and smoothly executed project.

Being a critic, in line with my civic duty however, I must say that more still needs to be done if we indeed are intending on heading towards first world status (at least in the little things, like roads).

I'd like to see clear lane markings all through out that road and quite frankly, throughout all roads. With this, we would be able to have STANDARDIZATION, in the sense that our road rules would make a whole lot more sense, if we all knew for instance that, white lane markings can be crossed over, but not yellow lane markings and so on. It would also greatly improve safety on the roads as road users would clearly be able to see were their cars are in relation to their lanes. Far too often, you'd find that lane markings become faded and are abandoned, even on important roads such as Lekki Epe that is even tolled. This should not be the case as either the markings should be done with quality materials in the first place, or be placed on a revolving contract to be touched up every so often.

I'd also like to see better enforcement, especially lane enforcement, were motorists are pulled over for not driving within a lane for a prolonged period of time, thereby causing an obstruction and this could also be indicative of drunk and/or reckless driving. I do understand however that this falls out of the "jurisdiction" of the Lagos government, as enforcement lies squarely on the shoulders of the Federal Government; an aberration that still persists.

All in all, good job to Ambode! Please do not relent now or in the future.

Politics / Good Job Ambode On The Lekki Expressway Roundabout Removal by EnigmaticEnigma(m): 12:51pm On Jan 05, 2017
I was initially quite critical of the remodeling development going on along the Lekki Expressway, but after having passed through that route a couple of times recently, I must say that I see come improvement in the flow of traffic.

However, the area is still quite rough, as is to be expected since the construction is still undergoing.

I wish the government would pay serious attention to the fading lane markings on some parts of that stretch, from the toll gate in VI all the way to AJAH. For instance, once u just pass the toll gate in VI, heading towards Ajah, you will notice how clear all the lane markings are. That way you can horn at motorists that are crossing into your lane since you can clearly see where the vehicle is in relation to the lane markings. However, as you go further and further down, pass Oando, some markings totally disappear and motorist start to sway a bit; obviously this is disregarding the undisciplined drivers who sway regardless of whether there are lane markings or not.

Still waiting to see what the finished product looks like.

I must also commend them for the quick pace of execution, at least for Nigerian standards. Please do not relent in completing that mini project. Don't just say "abeg, we've tried", no!!!!! Please you guys should execute it down to the last curb stone.

Good job to the Lagos goverment.

I'm sorry, but I just don't think this will work out too well.

I passed there today and my fears are already coming to fruition; no lane discipline whatsoever undecided

People on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd lane all wanted to turn left at the same time, blocking those who simply wanted to keep going straight.

Maybe in time, people would understand the new route, but not that hopeful.

Honestly, there was really not much with that roundabout at Jakande, but driver illiteracy and traders.

If the government was serious, the would have cleared all the traders and parked cars from that Jakande rounabout. Usually, people would take the outermost lane (3rd lane) as a parking a trading spot. You'd see multiple danfos parked there, you'd see traders items spilling to the road and so on. I just kept asking myself, isn't this part of the road Why waste a lane

The illiteracy was just annoying, cause people hardly ever kept to their lanes at the roundabout. They'd be on the middle lane approaching the roundabout, then swerve all the way to the left lane at the roundabout, then swerve back to the middle lane once the road goes straight again.

Anywho, guess we'll have to wait and see.

I am of the opinion that the power ministry should be scrapped not because of Fashola, but because the ministry has outlived its usefulness. If you sit down to analyse the problems of the power sector, then you'll know that no matter who the minister is, until certain things are put in place, Nigeria would have power problems.

Those certain things i talked about are in the "chicken vs egg" category.


cool beans, guess we agree then that the ministry should be scrapped ASAP. no qualms

Licences / regulation are in the hands of the regulatory agency NERC.

We used to need a minister of power because the FG held sway in the power sector from start to finish, but that is not the case any more.

Read more and educate your self. You can start by checking the NERC website.

Look, you can always make yourself useful, especially when you have so much clout as the freaking "MINISTER OF POWER".

It's simple, if he as useless as you say he is and he possesses even an ounce of integrity, then he should step down and save the nation some much needed income. Else, he should get to work, even if it is just as a lobbyist with that clout, he would get so much done.

My Dad was once in those circles and he was an excellent lobbyist to the point that he would get backlogs of issues that needed authorization from a different "department", sorted just by lobbying those with the direct authorization needed to solve his "departments" problems. He didn't just sit down, fold his arms and say there was nothing he could do.

Whatever you do, do not call her for a while, pleeeeease.

Even if you think she's the love of your life, please don't pester her at all for at least a month.

If you find yourself wanting to call her, have a friend of urs slap you really hard, to revert u back to ur senses.

What is the work of the minister of power.

Regulation and problem solving, not siting down in the office doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, because his post requires ZERO amount of work according to you.

He might as well not even go the office na, abi

Regulate, revoke licenses, lobby for reformation laws in the power sector. Don't just sit there doing NOTHING, sigh undecided

Why will a consumer (not customer) bypass in the first place - we all see reasons we are still here!

Change starts with individuals.

Average Nigerians will want to cheat no matter how - it is in the blood.

Instead of Discos wasting money on more robust technology to check make meter bypassing by cheating Nigerians and Discos' staff, why can't the government pass a law against power theft and make it well renowned.


Then they will tell you Power ministry is ceremonial, smh

Shouldn't it be Fashola championing this law, lobbying law makers on strict laws (like 30 years imprisonment) for stealing even 1kw of energy

So why is Fashola there in the first place

They are rejecting it because the can't afford to pay for it.
As of now, the Minister of Power is a more or less a ceremonial post because there's really nothing the power minister can do to the gencos and discos since they are private entities.

Car Talk / Re: 5 Things That Could Go Wrong With Cars -2017 And Beyond by EnigmaticEnigma(m): 7:09am On Dec 28, 2016
AutoJoshNG:


1.HACKING

There is really no debate about this , there is sure going to be a lot of hacking in cars in the coming year.Most car manufacturers are starting to build self-driving cars which are fully controlled by software.As a programmer I have a rule I keep in mind always "whatever can be built by man can be infiltrated by another man,no system is completely guarded".


A system can be secured to a point where only the close authors have access to the bypass.

So saying there would be a lot of hacks is far fetched, as any possible hack can be corrected almost immediately. Plus, these onboard computers are running locally and not necessarily running off a network, unless when running system updates.

2.PROBLEM WITH THE LAW

There is going to be a whole lot of problem with the law.For example when a driverless car violates a traffic rule .Who would be blamed or prosecuted ,the car maker or the car user , or the car ? . I hope provisions are being made to handle such cases.

Self Driving cars don't run traffic lights, that just can not happen, unless there is a hardware malfunction, in which case the owner should be at fault for not addressing that in a timely manner after being alerted by the system.

3.LIMITED QUALIFIED MECHANICS

Can't argue with this in Nigeria. Can't argue at all sad

4.CONFUSED CARS

Yup !, another problem.What happens in the event of an impending accident.What decision does the car take , does it decide to drive into a wall or a pole .What if there is no wall but a river ,does it decide to take the risk of killing the occupant and saving the life of a crowd of people its about to drive into,or does it decide to save the occupant and kill innocent people.Confusion everywhere

Still safer than cars being driven my humans in my opinion, but I guess we'll have to wait on the statistics to determine this. Just like how people don't like flying even though statistically, it's the safest means of travel

5. EVEN MORE CONFUSION

What happens when a traffic light goes off ?.Latest autonomous and semi-autonomous cars depends on traffic lights using sensors to know when to stop and move at junctions .So imagine a traffic light goes off due to a malfunction ......the disaster...... which could be easily averted when a human is driving .....

A traffic light going off is synonymous with there being no traffic light at all, in which case the car would have to fall back to proximity sensors and cameras as per normal driving.
