NURTW Lagos Reacts To Proposed Ban On Danfo Buses

The National Union of Road Transport Workers (N.U.R.T.W), Lagos Chapter, on Tuesday advised its members not to panic over the

Governor Ambode:Lagos State To Ban Commercial Buses {Danfo,}

The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday said his government plans to remove yellow buses popularly known as Danfo from Lagos roads for a more efficient, well-structured and world class mass transportation system that would facilitate ease of movement within the city.

Speaking at the 14th Annual Lecture of the Centre for Values in Leadership (CVL) held at Muson Centre in Onikan with the theme: “Living Well Together, Tomorrow: The Challenge Of Africa’s Future Cities,” Governor Ambode admitted that the present connectivity mode in Lagos was not acceptable and befitting for a mega city and as such, a well-structured transportation mode would soon be put in place to address the challenge.

Governor Ambode said.

"When I wake up in the morning and see all these yellow buses and see Okada and all kinds of tricycles and then we claim we are a mega city, that is not true and we must first acknowledge that that is a faulty connectivity that we are running.”

“Having accepted that, we have to look for the solution and that is why we want to banish yellow buses this year. We must address the issue of connectivity that makes people to move around with ease and that is where we are going.”

“For instance, people going from Ikorodu to CMS have started leaving their cars at home because the buses are very convenient and so why can’t we do that for other places? Yes, we don’t have the money to do that but we can go to the capital market and then improve on the technology of collection of fares and that will encourage investors and then the city will change,”

He also added that the government was also embarking on massive reform in waste management system, expressing optimism that the plan will fully be actualized by July this year.

“We are also embarking on massive reform in the waste and sanitation management system. I don’t like the way the city is and the Private Sector Participants (PSP) collectors are not having enough capacity to do it but again should I tax people to death, the answer is no. I don’t want to tax people and so we need this partnership with the private sector so that they can invest in the sanitation management of the city and in no time maybe by July, the city will change forever.”

The Governor, who recalled the massive infrastructures being put in place in critical sectors of the Lagos economy such as transport sector, road construction and rehabilitation, construction of lay-bys, and flyovers among others, said the main objective of his administration remained the growth of the Lagos economy from 5th to 3rd largest economy in Africa.

On power, Governor Ambode said the major issue had always been with transmission and advocated an embedded power initiative that would allow clusters of Independent Power Projects (IPP) to run the cities. He said he had remained focused on some issues such as infrastructure, security, job creation, power, adoption of technology as an enabler and driving investment through ease of doing business.

In his opening remarks, CVL founder and renowned development expert, Professor Pat Utomi said the idea behind the formation of the group was to get young people to begin to appreciate early what leadership was all about being service to the people.

Speaking on the theme of the symposium, Utomi said Lagos remained the best governed State in Nigeria in the last 18 years, and a good example of what the country should be beyond and without oil. He commended Governor Ambode on his leadership style, and particularly congratulated Lagos for being named by the Rockefeller Foundation as one of the 100 most resilient cities in the world.

Chairman of the occasion and former Governor of Cross River State, Liyel Imoke said the theme of the symposium was apt considering that Nigeria’s population by 2050 would have tripled and as such it was important for the country to start planning for livable cities. He commended Governor Ambode over his achievements in office so far, saying that it was obvious that the Governor has been performing very well and he is a good example of continuity in governance.

On his part, Director of Centre for African Economies, Oxford University, Professor Paul Collier said from his over thirty years experience of coming to Nigeria, Governor Ambode has proven himself to be the third excellent Governor in a row in Lagos. Collier, who was the keynote speaker, said judging by the population projection of Nigeria by 2050, now is the time for the country to start building its cities to conform with modern trend.

He said Nigeria’s oil had been a course which messed up the economy, and so there was need to start proper planning for development.

As a way out, Collier suggested alliance between the business community and political actors, saying that to build a city that works, attention must be focused on energy and connectivity.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones officially recalled by US regulators

BETHESDA, Md. -- U.S. regulators are issuing an official recall of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 phone because of the risk that its batteries can explode or catch
fire.

Samsung already has voluntary recalled the devices, but the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is stepping in on a formal recall.

Samsung says it has confirmed a few dozen instances of the problem, out of 2.5 million phones sold. Samsung promised replacement devices, but that was put on hold while regulators reviewed the situation.

The recall comes at a crucial time for Samsung, as its rival Apple just announced its own latest versions of the iPhone. The Note series is one of Samsung's most expensive, and demand for the phone had been high

THE iPhone 7 and its possible looks

Rumour of iPhone 7

Welcome to iMax9ja, where we look at smoke from afar to figure out if there’s any fire. This time, signs point to a new iPhone 7 Pro. In addition to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the Pro model would feature a dual-camera system as well as a smart connector at the back.

Possible looks of iPhone 7

Two photos spotted by Nowhere Else shows the three models side by side. As expected, the iPhone 7 Plus looks like a bigger version of the iPhone 7. And the iPhone 7 Pro could be a more powerful iPhone 7 Plus.

This isn’t the first time a leak points toward an iPhone 7 Pro model. Last month, a Chinese repair shop shared three different components for the next generation of iPhone, indicating that there would be a new option.

Similarly, reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities already predicted that the iPhone 7 Plus would get a dual-camera system. The iPhone 7 won’t get the dual-camera system indeed. But if today’s new photos are true, there will be an iPhone 7 Plus with a regular camera and an iPhone 7 Pro with an improved camera.

Now, why would Apple put two cameras at the back of your iPhone? There are many potential use cases. LinX has built a hardware and software solution to make two (or more) lenses seamlessly work together. For instance, a dual-lens system could improve background defocus and recreate depth of field — background defocus is one of the reasons why people use low aperture DSLR lenses.

Two cameras could also improve low-light performance, color fidelity and HDR performance. And this module could let you focus on the foreground or the background after capturing a photo, like with a Lytro.

You can also spot a smart connector at the back of the iPhone 7 Pro. Apple introduced these magnetic smart connectors with the iPad Pro as a way to expand your devices with accessories, such as keyboards. With the iPhone 7 Pro, Apple might take advantage of this connector for a battery case.

The body features a front under spoiler, back and side under spoilers and a lower wing spoiler. Body and bonnet stripes are more pronounced in this version which always works well to distinguish it from the Modulo which is a sister model with striking similarities. The wheels are more eye catching thanks to the flower-spoke rims which are 20 inches wide. One of the main selling points is the trademark colors that the model will feature.

The 6 speaker sound system has been tuned to give the best audio quality in that class of cars. There is a satellite radio, a 7-inch touch display and a navigator. An automatic air conditioner will also be availed in this model. In a wordirror Link. Driver and passenger safety also came high in the designer’s mind; parking sensors, cruise control, Airbags and security alert systems have been installed in that respect. The suspension is much stronger on this version which gives it smoother off-road handling and better rides than the previous models.

Honda HR-V Mugen – Powerful Engine and Performance

This cat sprints on a 141 hp 1.8-liter engine with a total of 126 pound-feet torque. The power and torque are comfortably achieved between 4300 and 6500 revs per minute. You either settle or a continuously variable transmission system or go for the four- wheel drive version. With this vehicle, you get to achieve 125 mph and dash from 0-60 mph in 10 seconds. The Honda HR-V Mugen will do 18 gallons for the mile in the city and 25 gallons per mile on the highway.

Honda HR-V Mugen – Release Date and How Much will Cost?

This beautiful masterpiece from Honda Mugen will be available in the market anytime in the last quarter of 2016. The much anticipated vehicle is slated to compete against Mazda CX-3, Subaru Crosstrek and the Nissan Qashqai not forgetting the Mitsubishi ASX. The starting price for the SUV is at $31,500 which is very fair for a vehicle of its caliber. Actually the price is value for money.

HP out with the world slimmest laptop

Most of today’s laptops are plenty portable. But HP’s latest offering proves that PC manufacturers are still finding ways to make their devices thinner and lighter still.

HP claims that its Spectre laptop, unveiled April 5, is the world’s thinnest laptop.

The Spectre measures 10.4 millimeters (0.41 inches) thick. This would mean that it’s slimmer than than the 12-inch MacBook (0.52 inches), MacBook Air (0.68 inches) and Dell XPS 13 (0.59 inches) at their thickest points. It’s also thinner than the 0.52-inch Razer Blade Stealth.

HP’s new notebook looks like a sleek, general purpose laptop, with an advertised nine-hour battery life, 13-inch HD 1920 x 1080 resolution display, and sixth generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. That last bit is particularly notable, as many super-thin laptops run on Intel’s Core M processors, optimized for mobile performance rather than desktop-like power.

The Spectre doesn’t come with any hybrid features like similar offerings from other companies, some of which include screens that can detach from their keyboards or twist and turn to function like a tablet. But the Spectre’s simplicity and premium design make it a potential competitor to Apple’s MacBook Air.

The Spectre will be available for pre-order on April 25 for $1,169.99 before it hits Best Buy stores on May 22 for $1,249.99.

Honda accord celebrate 40th years of existence

They may not make it any longer, but Honda's had an Accord Wagon in its lineup several times throughout the years.

Honda

Back in 1976, a plucky little three-door hatchback appeared on the market. It was called the Honda Accord. While it was praised at the time, people weren't exactly running around, saying the car would outlast entire brands. But it has, and now we're celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Over those four decades, Honda's sold some 12.7 million Accords. Since 1982, the company's been building them in the US, something no other Japanese company could claim at the time Honda opened its Marysville, Ohio facility. To date, the automaker's produced nearly 11 million vehicles in the US for global markets. No wonder it's  one of the most American cars you can buy

But it's not like the Accord's been soldiering on despite tepid reviews. If anything, the Accord's been one of the most solid cars  to live this long. Car and Driver's included the Accord in its 10Best list a record 30 times, and while it might not be the most dynamically engaging car on the planet, we love it for its ability to be both fun and sensible, with  the latest  Model earning Roadshows praise for its Tech .

Here's a fun fact for you: The original Accord's wheelbase was smaller than the current  Honda Fit's . The cars you think are small today don't hold a candle to compacts from decades past.

Frankly, there isn't much to say that hasn't already been said by me, my colleagues and every other outlet on the planet. It's a damn good car, full stop, and its 40-year anniversary is a testament to that.

One thing iPhone 7 will fix people hate

 Apple will release the iPhone 7 later this year, and apple will adress on the issu of storage, the 16GB storage capacity has been the complains of most iPhone users sufficient storage. IPhone has been advancing but the storage capacity seems not to be, now apple has promised to improve on the iPhone 7 to 32GB

Since 2011 iPhone has future 16GB storage, but with advance in software which can be up to 1GB or 2GB, 16GB sound like a joke if you really need to make full use of your phone, 

So watch out for the iPhone 7, we hope to have freedom using the iPhone 7
