In the Federal
Capital Territory of Nigeria, word has it that the city has since become a
shadow of what it was six years ago… Mallam Nasir El-Rufai seems to be the best
thing that happened to Abuja as there was sanity in this city while he was in
power. What do you think?
Street beggars and hawkers
– Driving on the roads, one has to be extremely attentive these days as beggars
and hawkers are everywhere on the streets. At any traffic light, once the red
light stops you, they all appear. Sad part is, hand bags and mobile phones could get
missing if you have your car doors unlocked or windows down without paying
attention. Once upon a time, these people would not dare show up on the streets
as there were laws to ensure that such people were never around town.
