 |
| An accident scene |
About 30 persons were feared
dead and several injured in an auto crash that occurred at Mobalufun junction, in Odogbolu
Local Government of Ogun State on Tuesday. The details of the accident is still skechy but I learnt that a truck loaded with flour
rammed into a Lagos-bound passenger bus. Eyewitnesses said other victims of the accident were traders and some commuters. A lot of people were said to be
seriously injured in the crash. Those injured were said to have been
rushed to the General Hospital, Ijebu-Ode and the Olabisi Onabanjo
University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, for treatment.
A source said as at 7p.m yesterday the remains of seven persons, including a pregnant woman, had been deposited in the hospital morgue.
Dear God, please save us from this road accidents. I don't even know who to blame; the government for not fixing so many bad roads or the drivers for over speeding?

DON'T FORCE N5,000 NOTE ON NIGERIANS- NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
During the Senate session which held yesterday, the chamber rose in unison asking President Goodluck Jonathan to stay action on the introduction of the N5,000 note. Read the statement made by the President of the Senate, David Mark,:
“Let me also
quickly join that I also heard it from the news the way you heard it. I
was not briefed. The only briefing I had about this issue was in the
national dailies. The important thing is that if Nigerians say they
don’t want a particular policy at any given moment, there is no harm in
government retracing their stand on the issue and I think that is the
situation that we find ourselves. I have listened to the arguments from
those who support it but those arguments are simply not convincing. They
appear to me to be highly theoretical and technical in nature and they
do not address any practical issue on ground.
“Any policy that
does not address issues directly but just talking about indices we
cannot verify for now should wait. We have not reached that level where
we are just talking of hypothetical cases all the time. I think the
disadvantages of the N5,000 note at the moment far outweigh not
introducing it and on balance, we should not go for it.”
Well said. If Nigerians don't want it, why force it on us? We still do run a democratic system, right?
