it is high time the government and nnpc stop loading these outdated tankers and allowing untrained drivers to drive the inflameble product.too many lost of lifes and properties.

subsidy removal is good for the country and the people. more money for the government to carry out important projects and create more jobs.for the people, no more elaborate parties, spraying money, blocking the entire street.no more driving around aimlessly looking for girl friends.no more excessive speeds on our roads. people will think twice and put pen to paper and do some home economics.God bless the federal republic of nigeria and president Buhari.

how do I join your association. I cannot find your form on line. thank you.

everything is being blamed on the government especially the president. this is a free world, anybody and everybody is free to write whatever comes across their brain. the western world has their drawbacks.be proud of your country and stop comparing Nigeria with the western world.it took them more than hundred years before they could get to where they are today. nigeria could be a greater country if we all participate in her development and progress. let us make the good out of the bad situation.

this is propaganda from boko haram or there sympathysers .where are the bodies of the soldiers killed? where are the bullet holes on the vehicle . where are the boko haram boys who kill or captured these weapons? normally they always show themselves and proud of their deeds.

Rome was not build in a day.it is easier to build on a new site but difficult to rebuild on a collapsed building. you need to remove the rubbish first.

I repeat myself again. oh ye of little faith . Rome was not built in a day . all of you criticising Buhari ,who introduce "war against indiscipline?

oh ye of little faith . why comparing Cameron with Buhari ? Buhari is doing all these travelling for the betterment of Nigeria.in this day and age , no country is an island anymore . the economy of the world is interwoven. as Chinese proverb will say"a journey of a thousand miles start with a step" Buhari need to start by negociating with other countries to facilitate trade and investment.but Nigerians complain about everything and anything.

what about the fly-over bridge to be constructed (cost) in ADO-EKITI? that money could be used to pay government workers in the state.

I totally agree what you wrote in your article. nigerians complain about everything. what do Nigerians do to help the country advance and progress economically ? everybody wants the government to provide everything for them.

come on guys. what time does your wife goes to bed? are you helping her with the house work and the children? pls enlight us more instead of complaining that your wife wakes up at six o'clock.

seeing is believing. why two years to complete a road that has already started in time immemorial. action is louder than voice

why put this in front page. this is an insult.

shame on wale. why can't he pay those boys around him to clean up that area where he is.

I am interested in this design. this is fantastic. what of if I wanted four bedrooms with their own separate toilets and another toilet for guests. i have one plot of land which measures 60ft by 60ft.how much will it cost both the design and building it. if you can email me at : olad733@gmail.com
thank you.

what can Nigerian government manage on their own without foreign assistance? we have qualified well educated Nigerians to manage our airports. soon it will be the sea port and what else? alot of nigerians will be deprived of more jobs.

please wacky1 again go on the net type (mobile phone + explosion) and see what it gives you.now am done with you.bye

Man killed by 'exploding mobile phone'Mike Harvey, Technology Correspondent
A man has died after his mobile phone exploded, severing a major artery in his neck, according to reports.

The man, thought to be a shop assistant in his twenties at a computer shop in Guangzhou, China, died after he put a new battery in his phone. It was believed that he may have just finished charging the battery and had put the phone in his breast pocket when it exploded.

According to the local Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News, the accident happened on January 30 at 7.30pm. An employee at the shop told Chinese media that she heard a loud bang and saw her colleague lying on the floor of the shop in a pool of blood. The employee said the victim had recently changed the battery in his mobile phone.

Chinese authorities have yet to determine the make and model of the phone and its battery. Some reports indicated the store was a Lenovo shop, but it was thought that this might be because the shop advertised Lenovo computer products. Police were investigating whether the phone and battery were counterfeit.

Local reports said that this was the ninth recorded cellphone explosion in China since 2002. In the most high profile recent incident, in June 2007, a 22-year-old welder, Xiao Jinpeng, died from chest wounds when his mobile phone exploded while he was at work at an iron mill in Gansu province.

A local government inquiry found that the mobile phone battery had exploded due to the heat of the iron mill. Lithium batteries are widely used in mobile phones - but if they are overcharged or exposed to heat, the inflammable liquid inside can explode.

Motorola and Nokia, two of the world's biggest mobile phone makers, denied links to the distributors of problem batteries in China, suggesting they were counterfeit.

After the latest incident, the Shin Min Daily News published advice for consumers on how to avoid mobile phone explosions. The tips included:

- Always use original batteries. Be sure that batteries by the manufacturer are meant for your mobile phone.

- Never modify your phone

- Always use original battery chargers

- Do not expose your mobile phone to high temperatures, and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight

- Avoid long phone conversations

- Do not make or answer calls when the phone is charging

- Try to keep your phone in a bag instead of in a pocket

- Do not use damaged batteries
