The Federal Road Safety Commission is an established arm of government charged with the responsibility of safe guarding our roads and the people on the roads.
Among the things outlined by the FRSC for any road user to do on the road, whether federal, state or local include; possession of certificate before driving/riding, wearing of helmet (In case of bike), use of seat belt,etc
Unfortunately, the FRSC is not living up to its expectations. Instead of safe guarding the people on the roads, they have turned into money generation department.
They have changed their name from Federal road safety commission (FRSC) to federal resources commission.
The FRSC is being selective in enforcing road laws. Due to the corruption in the system, drivers that bribe them are often allowed to go free while others have to plead their way to freedom.

But the most surprising is the way government officials are OVER SPEEDING on our roads. Whenever they come on our roads with their convoys, they chase other road users off the road.
State governors are notorious for over speeding. Just recently, the governors of Benue, Kogi, and Katsina states were involved in ghastly accidents.
Human being is a social animal. Law, equity and justice are among the major factors keeping a society in peace. That can only be achieved when there is a functioning government meant for the people.
Leaders are expected to be servants of the people. They should not be arrogant and out laws.
Roads are meant for the people. Without people, one cannot call it a road.
Most highly placed government officials in Nigeria hardly use roads like ordinary citizens.
For the safety of our roads and its users, those privileged people over speeding must be stopped. Over speeding has been identified as the number one cause of death on Nigerian roads.
I hereby call on the FRSC, VIO, High way patrol to live up to expectations and safe guard our roads and its users.

Yesterday Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state engaged newly elected governor of Ekiti state in a hot war of words over the state of the legislature in their respective states after Fayose badmouth him in one of his interviews.

Hear what Governor Adams told Fayose through his Press Secretary, Peter Okhiria yesterday.

“We find it utterly laughable and as the height of political childishness for the Ekiti State governor to hide behind his media aides and seek to drag the name of the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, into his crude gangster tactics, which he has re-introduced into Ekiti politics less than two months after assuming office.

“If the Ekiti governor is too lazy to read and too politically-illiterate to know what is happening in Edo State House of Assembly, we expected his psychedelic media aides to simply shut their loud mouths rather than behave like capering neophytes.

“Even a kindergarten knows that 15 is greater than 5. So if five PDP members decide to sit with three suspended members and another, whose seat was declared vacant, in a chamber which is undergoing renovation, then we can at best regard that as the height of crass legislative irresponsibility.

“It is ridiculous to even contemplate that the Ekiti governor and his media aides do not know that 15 is greater than five. For sure, they seem engrossed with their stomach infrastructure mantra, such a dubious contraption which can only be contrived by an ideologically-clueless and gluttonous administration.

“But for the kind of democracy we practice in Nigeria, where the PDP promotes and condones all manners of illegalities, inanities and shenanigans which have become the second nature of that party, Ayodele Fayose would have been cooling off his heels in gaol rather than brandishing the appellation of being a governor.

“We are thoroughly ashamed that Ekiti, hitherto known as the fountain of knowledge, is being reduced to a mindless bubble by a man running her affairs without a discernible direction like a drowning man clutching desperately at flotsam.”

Fayose also fires back through his media aide:

Is it proper for a state House of Assembly to sit in the Government House? Should a state House of Assembly complex be put under lock and key for six months? And can actions taken at the sitting of a House of Assembly held inside the Edo State Government House be said to have the stamp of legality?

“Here we are with a supposed progressive comrade governor perpetuating illegalities in Edo State with lawmakers of his party, APC, sitting exclusively in the Government House where he resides with his wife and children; and instead of his aides to remove the timber in their boss’ eyes, they are getting concerned with the toothpicks in another person’s eyes.

The reality is that whether the APC lawmakers are 15 or 5, the lawmakers cannot sit anywhere else apart from the state House of Assembly. Or are they saying that the National Assembly can also relocate to Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos?

“It is our advice that Governor Adams Oshiomhole should solve the problems in the Edo State House of Assembly and stop meddling in the Ekiti State affairs because on June 21, 2014, the people elected their governor in person of Ayodele Fayose, and millions of APC evil machinations cannot stop him from governing Ekiti State for four years.”

Governor Adams Oshiomhole is a member of the APC party while Fayose is a PDP member.

Some dare devils took over a bullion van conveying money to UBA at Elemoso village off Ondo-Akure road yesterday and got off with an undisclosed amount of money.

The robbers opened fire on the  bullion van and escort vehicle around 4:50pm in the afternoon yesterday.

The operation was successful as the robbers looted almost all the money belonging to United Bank of Africa.

An eyewitness said police escort were caught unaware when the robbers opened fire on the bullion van and the escort vehicle simultaneously.

 “The policemen and the driver of the van took to their heels immediately the hoodlums opened fire on them. The operation lasted for just about seven minutes.

“The speed breaker erected on the highway helped the armed men. They overtook the vans and opened fire on the policemen before they could realise what was going on. The men were better equipped because they operated with confidence.” – an eyewitness told reporters

A pastor coming from a mechanic shop was said to have suffered serious injuries when he came under rain of bullets.

As at the time of this report, the whereabouts of the police escorts and the bullion van driver who took their heels after the robbers struck is still unknown.

The victim, Pastor Ajah, a school proprietor was rushed to the general hospital for treatment.
