Nigeria bans Under 25 from driving trucks, taxis

                            

Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, may have stirred human rights controversy when it said Wednesday that commercial driver’s licences would no longer be issued to applicants below the age of 25 years. Disclosing this, the Lagos State Sector Commander, FRSC, Mr Nseobong Akpabio, said the step was intended to get rid of underage drivers and sanitise the profession. Commercial drivers licences are given to drivers of trucks and taxis. “An underage commercial driver has no commitment and may see driving as one of those jobs that could be toyed with. Many road crashes, especially with articulated vehicles, were usually traced to motor-boy drivers, who were without experience,” Akpabio told the News Agency of Nigeria. Akpabio called on transport unions, parents, as well as passengers, to assist the commission in checking underage drivers in order to achieve the United Nation’s Decade of Action for Safer Road Users. “Road crash involving a commercial bus may jeopardise the existence or progress of 10 families and if it involved freight vehicle, it will affect the progress of the company.

“Drivers are very important as they can either mar or make a person, because if there is safe arrival, goals and aims can be achieved, but in a reversed case, such goals and aims have been cut short,” he said. He said that the approved minimum age of 25 years for obtaining commercial driver’s licence would help in checking road crashes usually caused by underage drivers. He urged commercial drivers to start processing their licence now to avoid last minute rush, adding that they should avoid patronising touts and go through the normal process of obtaining the product. The new commercial driver’s licence – Class-E — was flagged off in Lagos on 31 December, 2012, to identify underage and unqualified drivers. .

Have your say: is the FRSC right in banning Under 25 Nigerians from obtaining commercial drivers’ licences, since a Nigerian is deemed to be an adult from 18?

Angels were behind me during Ethopia's match – Nigeria's Goal Keeper,Enyeama

                                 
Nigeria goal keeper, Vincent Enyeama who made a point blank save immediately after Nigeria’s opener has sensationally declared he had no clue how he pulled off an incredible point blank save. “I don’t know how I did it, the Angels of God were behind me and caused my hands to be in the right place to stop the ball”. Asked if he was worried going into the last 10 and it was still goalless “not at all, this is football and I have come to understand that as long as the game is on anything is still possible so I kept urging the guys to press on. Fortunately we got there in the end”.

The Nigerian players were obviously delighted with the win but the Nigerian press contingent and Nigerians all over the the internet sites and blogs seemed unimpressed with the qualification and have been very critical of the team’s play. Already, the consensus is that this present Nigerian side is not good enough to get past the Ivorians who have been rampant so far in the tournament. It is very hard to figure out who has a more difficult job between the Nigerian President or Stephen Keshi in terms of pleasing Nigerians.

PHOTOS: Meet 27-Year-Old Nigerian Whose Incredible Sketches Look Like Digital Photos

                                          
Kelvin Okafor, 27, graduated from Middlesex University in fine art and is now making waves across the country.

                                              
His subjects include popular music artists Tinie Tempah, James Morrison and Adele. He has also picked out tragic figures from actor Heath Ledger to the late King of Jordan, King Hussein – and with each, he tries to evoke an emotion in the viewer.

Finally, he has used friends and colleagues for the impressively accurate images, which look like soft focus digital photos. Last year, the artist from Tottenham, north London, exhibited at numerous major art galleries and won a clutch of prestigious national awards for his remarkable work. Each of his pieces takes around 80-100 hours to complete, over approximately three weeks in the studio.

Mr Okafor creates each piece only in black and white – using graphite pencils, charcoal, black coloured pencil and sometimes grey pastels. Yet he believes that the range of tone, shade and texture is almost endless.

                                             


He draws on a combination of life and photographs, working on his art for up to 15 hours a day. He admits he is ‘passionate about precision’. ‘I aspire to create art as vivid as eyes could see,’ the artist writes on his blog. ‘I want my drawings to prompt an emotional response, making viewers feel as though they are looking at a real live subject.

Mr Okafor describes the pencil as ‘a humble instrument’, but says this is part of its appeal. ‘I’ve always been creative, but fell in love with using pencils in particular. ‘It amazed me, that with only one shade of lead, you can create so many tones and textures, and almost create the illusion of colour. ‘It was only when my images started to create a buzz with other Middlesex University students that I realised their impact.’

                                             
He was selected as one of the top two pieces of work at Cork Street Gallery’s Winter Show in 2012 and recently won the Catherine Petitgas Visitors’ Choice Prize, part of the National Open Art Competition. His work is currently on display at the The Watercolours + Works on Paper Fair at the London Science Museum, until February 3. Before starting a piece, Mr Okafor spends a few days analysing a photo, concentrating first on the subject’s eyes, which are central to his works’ impact.

His pieces are now selling for on average £8,000-£10,000, depending on the scale. ‘The attention I’m receiving is surreal and hasn’t really sunk in yet,’ he added. ‘I’m usually sheltered from it in my studio as I continue to build my portfolio, but I’m really humbled and honoured that so many people appreciate my work. ‘I hope to have my own gallery in the future.’

He has now had more than 50 commissions, and the dedicated artist cites his role models as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo – because they not only mastered the arts but branched out into other fields including engineering, poetry, science and maths. Twitter users describe his work as ‘incredible’, ‘extraordinary’ and ‘astounding’
