For what ever purpose it is, we have chosen to develop politically in Nigeria it must certainly be in the direction of the rule of law since there is the understanding of democratic antecedents we have decided to embrace  In that, equity, transparent must be the  in-thing when it comes to following its due process  that is inline with sincerity of purpose as established in the face of laws of the land essentially in democratic setting with which Nigeria is said to have been operating for about seventeen years and still counting. From the past, the challenging of internal democratic tenancies has been observed to be one of those impediments of political parties in the country putting its integrity to test in the face of many Nigerians. Until recently, the people democratic party had it own share  when its members  decamped en-mass to other parties as result of their inability to curtail those differences that lead to so many of its members living where  they originally belong ,to pitch there tent with  another party.  Some of the reasons cited by many observers   was what is still cropping up in these there new marriage of coming together and forming another party  which many analylist  have  said is capable of ending this emerging political  party  called APC in the same way it did to the people democratic party.

Lagos hitherto like every other settlements exist as a small community, rural in character and characterized with homogeneous population. The 1865 British Colonization of Lagos colony brought a lot of attendance impact mostly change in demographic composition of the colony, associated with civilization and population redistribution. The period of colonial administration of Lagos brought about social, physical and demography changes which propel the colony as a rallying point of economic and social activities.

GSM Base station for who , where and how? by Olusegun Ariyo

                                                                                    

 The speed of advancement in network technology and sciencetific innovation in many areas has enhanced the evolution of global scientific mobile innovation through communication network. This is in effect has  made communication development possible within the metropolitan area in the cities which however remains significant in accessing, extracting and disseminating information in a digital format of encoding and decoding with reduced lab our, less human innovation and accuracy with an amazingly short period. Global satellite network remains a tool for communication gap were all means of coding and decoding are done through network means in every inhabitant but certainly, its lacks the requirement for environmental quality in the placement of its base stations in the metropolitan Nigerian cities.

Going by the manner to which the urban rich live on the toil and patronage of the urban poor, one is tempted to jump to this conclusion that poverty is of complimentary essence in the urban centers of the developing nations. For instance, the numbers of the affluent-owned organizations engaged in supply of table water in small polythene sachets to the urban poor increases as few public faucets supply potable water. Secondly, the new pocket of slums of predominantly tenament houses, for the urban poor as targeted tenant rapidly proliferate.

Nigeria's Transport union and its passengers By olusegun Ariyo

                                                                        

The ignominious failure in urban transport and traffic management is one of the major courses of transportation problems in most Nigeria cities. One of the common traditions in Nigeria city traffic behavior is conflict among the road users that is characterized by street trading, road obstruction, on road- parking, evacuation of structures on road set back, abandonment of damaged vehicles  at roads sides, and unhealthy competition between the pedestrians, motors, motorcycles,  street traders and cat pushers. As a result of this, the traffic decay in the city mobility in Nigeria has been characterized with an increase in the waiting hours on board vehicles.

In the name of pedestrian crossing in Okokomaiko By Olusegun Ariyo

An artificial pedestrian cross over bridge along okokomaiko Cassidy end that is accessing Alaba international market has been generating a lot of controversy. Residents have said. Accordingly, lot of pedestrians that are moving to there market place during the peak and after of peak hours uses that channel on a daily basis. Amazingly, checks also has it that this man-made pedestrian bridge has been in existence for more than two decade busy operating on commercial purpose, collecting tolls from the larger patronage of the Alaba market traders where majority of their residence has a proximity advantage to that location. Not only in that area alone, even the access road that is linking Alaba market international is also not left out on this issue  were toll is collected on every commercial motorcycle that pass through it. The implication of this development is that the riders have resorted in hiking the price of fare in other to accommodate the tolls fees leveraged on them, making those marketers to be at the receiving end, in addition to those that are patronizing the market. Angered by this development, the market traders resorted to carry along media agents to have a focus group discussion with some selected members of the traders that stay in that location. According to them, they believe that having been collecting tolls for over twenty years, it is indeed enough for them to have a standard bridge to access through it. To them, it has become an extortion and that it is unjust and asking the government of the day to come and intervene.

The performance of the housing sector is often a barometer for measuring the health or ill health of a nation. Therefore, for any nation, housing is a set of durable assets which account for higher proportion of a community’s wealth and on which house hold spend a substantial part of their income any analysis of housing problems, including those being encountered by different players in the sector. Therefore, is a study of a nation’s attempt to adapt its inheritance to new need and to add to this inheritance in ways that accord with a changing economic and social structure and rising human aspiration? Since the housing problem has an ever changing nature of dynamic proportions which neither lend itself to static appraisal nor a belief in a once and for all solution.

THE MDG CONSTRAINT IN NIGERIA; by Olusegun Ariyo

                                                                                        

There has been an upsurge in the number of people that inhabit the earth and more specifically, the urban centre as such, the need for development have also become importance. The alarming rate is capture by the state of the world report, where they observed that “we have never seen urban growth like this in history in term of speed and scale, yet, the important of future growth has not captured public imagination. And surprisingly little is being done to maximize the potential benefits of this transformation or to reduce its potentially negative consequences. Currently, there are a token of 6,679,493,900 as estimated by US census international in 2008, people in the world today, most of these increases in population have been deduced to come from Asia and African countries, this explain why the pressure is more on developing country where such increases are becoming a burden rather than a blessing. More worrisome is that majority of this population live in slum and shanties. In 2002, UNFPA argued that today, million of people live in Slums, 90 percent of whom are in developing countries. They state further that the battle to reach the millennium development goals and cut extreme poverty by half by 2015 will be waged in the world’s slums. The world leaders in recognition of the fact that these human agglomerations are inevitable have come up with various programmes aimed and addressing the myriads of problems associated with such increase.

Development control issues and lagos environment by Olusegun Ariyo

The world we live in is very dynamic in every ramification. It Has consequential effect on man’s activities and the environment in which he lives. The quality of the environment is greatly influenced by the number and quality of people within the environment. A close look at the population and its growth rate in Nigeria and Lagos gives an insight into the enormity of problems and perhaps challenges to anticipate. Figures  in Nigeria and from the Nigeria’s national report to the habitats11 world congress in turkey shows that as from 1946, no settlement in Nigeria had a population of up to 200, 00 and from available records, within  the period of  fifty years, sixty one  cities have been produced, when non was existing as an indicator of high urbanization rate. This become interesting when one realizes that as at 1921, Nigeria’s urban population was just 5% of the total. The population rose to 20% in 1970, 38% in 1993 and 40% in 1996 and has been predicted to reach 60% by the year 2010 and 62% by the year2025. When compared with the national average the growth of Lagos state has been more alarming.

IBA L.CD.A AND THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT

When john Strauss mills a renowned expert on local government and development molded the word ‘’pedagogical’’ in his understanding, his narrative was how is developing the people can be done by the people and  for the people them- self’s and that in actual sense, was what he meant with such word .This is by know means a new dimension of inculcating good governance with excellent leadership quality in the annals of self transformation and inter dependency that is geared towards development of the grass root. Doing it your self, indeed, is what this concept preaches and in-doing, the reality of happening in our government at the grassroots can be best described as the independent of having elective leaders in every segment of both the legislatures as Councilor and its executive arm.

Evening has fallen in the street of Lagos; indeed, it was time when every employee, artisans in all work of life has to start returning home from their various places of origin. Indeed, happy hours for some has evolved, while it is usually a sad one for others since majority of our mode of movement is indeed on road and the means of transport that majority  of the population uses as  channel  still  remains commercial vehicular movements. Everyone is looking forward in getting on board through various routes that are in-existence in every terminal in-demand, in other to get to their various destinations. Experiences as, to the way things  are done in most unusual manner by those operators of commercial vehicles, that majority of them, the populace ply during peak period,  and  where  you don’t even know any  agency to lay complains to when the needs arise, instead,  some  of those dying cultures  is being allowed to be celebrated without any body  questioning what ever is their sense of judgment on there  maintenance and vehicle worthiness in the cause of their movement from one location to the other is truly one out of many obstacle we are yet to cross in the annals things that  should be done appropriately.

Housing is one of the basic yardsticks for human survival and the need to ensure its qualitative and quantitative delivery cannot be overemphasized. Further study on housing becomes paramount when considering the rate influx of people from the rural areas to urban setting particularly because of dichotomy, which exist within the rural and urban areas in the developing world. The phenomenal growth of large urban agglomeration in the third world region of the world over the last few decades has become global concern. Reports reveal that by the year 2020, a high proportion of 93% of the worlds over billion people will occur in the third world countries and that 2.2 billion inhabitant will be added to the population in the cities. An increase of 160%. Some cities however are growing two or three times faster than the country’s over population, reflecting massive migration to the cities.

 The word honorable as defined in the oxford dictionary is some-one worth’’ deserving respect and admiration, showing high moral standards, allowing to keep their good names and high moral standards. Borrowing from such, one is tempted to say that the underlined indeed, can be in an opposite terms in the attitudes of some of our honorable legislators, given  their various action and inactions that some individuals have experienced in the course of having one means of engagement with there constituents especially if it’s boiled down with having  engaging in one  transactions or the other with them.

Available statistical evidence  suggested that the cumulative number of estimated  hiv infection world wide stands at over 50million since the beginning of the pandemic across the globe, no continent has escape the virus and its prevalence varies among region and countries.

local government Autonomy; to be or not to be? by olusegun Ariyo

                                                                                    

Successive administrations in Nigeria have made various attempts to create governance structure that allows for pursuing decentralized and representative administration through different levels of government, albeit with differing degrees of success. These efforts are exemplified in the use of regional Authorities, native and district and the introduction of parliamentary system of governance with the independent constitution then. Similarly, the creation of state that rose from an initial twelve to present thirty six, as well as the creation of three hundred local government areas in 1976, which progressively rose to seven hundred and seventy four were also aimed at creating an administrative environment for grass roots development through decentralization.

At a time like this in our history when transition to another democratic dispensation has struck the fear of God into us, it is only difficult to find positive ground.
