In time past people have voyaged the earth, or embarked on specific mission fueled by passion, either to travel round Europe, Visit all Asian countries, Visit all Art galleries, Visit all Museums, Visit the coldest places on earth, visit the world's best resort locations but these realistic fascinations will be shredded as someone is about to indulge in digital fascination.

For over 3 years i have been struggling to stop my friends list from reaching 1000, so periodically i do friend's list maintenance, i kinda know a good number of them after been in separately different places for a lengthy period and after those period i have increased friend's request.  So i devised a method which is sacrificial in nature: in-order for me to add someone new someone else has to leave, its really difficult to do so i avoid doing it most times by delaying the ineveitable.

Now there is someone who has no problem with adding friends has he has found a solution to it {better one if you might say}You can say what you like but i think this Man has got some kudos, i guess one very good morning he logged into facebook and someone gave him an add on facebook making his friends list 788 from 787, he had a thought that 'why would i add up this someone with whom i might not exceed the status of acquaintance or i can force a real live meeting myself'.

I would suppose that gave birth to his thought about visiting all 788 facebook friends of his over a 3 year time frame. You can only guess the resources and cost such a mission will eat up but well, that is his own way to justify having over 500 facebook friends, what about you?

A lady who has gone through 36 cities in Texas targeting 28 Walmart stores and  other 8 stores and has been getting away with it.
She usually makes her move in the early hours of the days going as a normal shopper, using groceries as a camouflage to get the cashier to scan the iPad and she leaves by excusing herself to go get money from her car!!! i can't imagine how she has been getting away with this, guess she wants to make "them cash real quick and i bet you she has, because that black car she was driving is kinda cool.

She usually strikes in the early hours of the morning. Police say she does the same thing every time, leaving groceries at the counter and walking out of the store with two or three iPads. Her latest hit came last week at a Sherman Wal-Mart.

$57,000 worth of iPads have been rooted by just this simple operation of this iThief. I only wonder what happens now her cover is blown.

This unit is now official but for developers

 

        Yes i am certain when Maltina becomes a human i myself might fall in love; the extent companies will go as an advertising strategy you can't imagine until you are in such a position with a task to implement such.
       This was done during one of my favourite dancing competition in Nigeria
Watch the closing performance of the Maltina Dance All 2009. This was done by the Chief Choreographer and Dance Director of Maltina Dance All 2009, Bimbo Obafunwa (Director, Corporate Dance World)

          I will be periodically bringing you up to speed about recent developments in Nigeria. but for the time being lets take Lagos for a look. I think i have lots of interest in metropolis transportation especially rail way as it is such that is very difficult to implement and manage.
         Lagos is the most populous city in Nigeria if no Africa with the best guess for her population standing at 7,937,932 (2006 census) which is still not even close to the actual over 17 million habitats in the city. Development has encroached the local government areas of this city, awareness in Lagos far supersedes that of the other Nigerian states. Such a condensed state surely will have lots of problems attached to it, congested traffic, limited transportation amenities and this has lead for a need for BRT buses, but the ever growing population of Lagos needs even a flying bus to meet up to this mobile city therefor a LAGOS LIGHT RAIL

        This Lagos Light rail managed by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority will first have the red and blue line as shown below  the Green lines and others will be added after an effective Red and Blue to say.
      

 Work is on day and night to ensure completion of this as the Lagos state government will tap from the NRC's rail lines in addition to it's in-city rail transportation.

As of now the people will have faith in the governments' completion of this project but there are questions that remain un-answered to this ground breaking development to Lagos as a state for above other Nigerian' states and Nigeria as a country.

1. Continuity: the Nigerian leaders have proven time without number that they lack the interest to continue already started project by previous leaders  in so doing leaving so many rooms for corruption, abandoned projects, which have affected the long term implementation of railway service in the country. After Fashola, will the next government continue?
2. Maintenance: We lack in great magnitude the culture to maintain good things we have this is not only attached to the government but in so many ways the People,will a common man refuse the temptation of urinating close by the train station? will be try to hold the pure-water sachet he used till he finds a waste bag? will he take the train like his/her own? Will the government replace broken glassed? repair bad chairs? immediately amend bad railway tracks?
3. Safety: It is not a secret that up until now businesses are still carried out on working railway tracks, or the probability of flood eroding a railway track, getting the people aware of the dangers of staying too close to the railway tracks,what kind of training will be given to the traffic men of the railway. 

 

Having said all the above it is surely a good thing  as this seems like a challenge, as even in the city of Port-harcourt the government is also embarking on overhead railway tracks in the metropolis not to mention others.

 One thing for sure is that if the BRT buses has worked well, then the Lagos Light rail will also and this will also provide benefits like

• Employment: As the Railway industry is on the rise again the need for certain skilled and unskilled profession will arise again and in so doing a large portion of our unemployed youths will be kept busy as a railway system is so large and involves so many logistics to be effective.
• Controlled Education: This might not be the right naming for this but i hope you get my idea: In Germany we know they have lots of schools for engineers, in so doing they have been able to provide home grown engineers to keep up and maintain their economy. Now i will advice many youths or young people to study related field of studies that will enable you work in a railway company or serve as a compliment like: Accountant, ICT, Steward, Hostess, Warden, Captain, Maintenance field of studies, Project manager, Promoting strategist, Receptionist, Technologies and certifications to enable you control railway devices, Businesses in railway stations.
• Competition: A successful Lagos Light Rail will provoke other state government to start implementing similar structures though it might not be exact but the possibilities are there.
• Road Safety: As much as it is a disadvantage, the positive part outshines the negative, as more and more people ply the light rail, even more people will be forced to use the BRT buses forcing the ordinary bus drivers out of business there by having a controlled transportation (the government can buy more buses and employ some out of business bus drivers) then we will have a decongested lagos roads, and the less cars that drives and a road the longer the road lies in good state.
