According to the Lagos State Government's Motor Vehicle Statistics for 2012, in Lagos alone there are just over 1,000,000 cars. Did you know that in 78% of all rides, the driver travels alone? Compared to 12% where only 2 people travel in the car and 10% where 3 or more people travel in the car. What is Carpooling?

Image
Sometimes in 1970, there was the six days war between Israel and the Arabs, this war led to quadrupling increase in oil price over night. All of a sudden Nigeria became rich with a lot of money to the extent that Federal government of Nigeria in her magnanimity ordered the immediate effect implementation increase of salary for all the civil servants(Udoji salary awards,  1974). All civil servants' salary were doubled. Of course with the new found wealth a lot of people wanted build their own houses but there was severe cement shortage in the country. The demand for cement and other building materials was astronomical, under pressure from the military the government committed itself to a massive Barrack building program and thus ordered 16 million metric tonnes of cement for the building of Army Barracks alone, amounting to 80% of the country’s total cement import.

Misuse of Siren on Road Traffic in Nigeria

Image
Siren is a device that makes a loud prolonged signal or warning sound use on road alerting the environment, to warn other drivers and pedestrians of the approach of an emergency vehicle and request the right-of-way. This is used by the authorized users on the road traffic such as state institutions and government officials (the President, Vice President, State Governors and Deputy Governors, Senate President, the Deputy Senate President, the Speaker of House of Representatives etc), hospital ambulances, security companies, bullion vans etc. The siren device must be operated in order to meet the legal definition of that emergency that occurred according to the provision of the law. It has been observed that the misuse of siren by both authorized and unauthorized persons has become a nuisance to law abiding citizen, through madness of blaring sirens indiscriminately by the privileged Government officials, Police force and wealthy people, even criminals.
