  Hard but good for our sanity. *Lagos State New Traffic Rules: Offences and Penalties*  JULY 30, 2022 New Lagos State Traffic Rules 2021 - Offences And Their Fines. Lagos State is one of the most populous cities in Africa, and even in Nigeria yet one of the smallest in size. It was once the capital of Nigeria, but the capital was changed to Abuja. The newly elected governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu assumed public office as the executive governor of Lagos State, there has been a very strict approach to traffic management in the state. This extends to bringing every resident of the state to a whole new level of sanity and punishment for breaking Lagos traffic rules. After working so hard or taking a loan to acquire a car, the last thing one would want is to watch the car being auctioned off at a ridiculous price to some stranger who doesn’t know what you passed through to get the car. But that can only happen if one violates any of the many traffic rules in Lagos State. Please try anything p

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said. We are at our best when we serve others.” Credit: Ira Byock Source: Weird and Amazing Things

 Many are ignorant of what ACADEMIC WORK is all about. Academic work is not FACTORY WORK.  ASUU strike is not  a strike by Post-office workers, or strike by Textile workers. Yes,  during ASUU Strike, Lectures do not take place and  Students are not graduated.  But SERIOUS MANDATORY RESEARCH never stops.  CONTINUED EDUCATION of individual Academics for sharpening proficiency never stops.   GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT of Academic units with the GRID of International Academia never stops. The very day Mandatory  Research, Continued honing of skills and  Engagement with Global Academia stop   in a University  that is the day the University ceases to be a University.  The University is a totally different entity in the scheme of things. Its work, its modus operandi and its goals are unique in Society. You can't  treat a University as a Railway station, a Tricycle  manufacturing company or a  Cocoa processing factory. The average Academic does not work 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.  He or she works
