It's about being aware of greatness and doing whatever it takes to get there. It's about being drenched in sweat, after 80 minutes, knowing you've given nothing less than your best.

20 Words to the Wise!

01. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
02. Dear God: I have a problem. Sometimes, it's me.
03. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.

Lagos New Traffic Law: 11 More Vital Things You Must Know

I wrote an article on the seven vital things you must know about the Lagos new traffic law a few days ago.  Since then, I have been besieged by people asking for more clarifications and analysis of other areas of the law. So I decided to add eleven more key issues worthy of note to you as a driver on Lagos roads. There is clearly no substitute to reading the over 80 pages of the law yourself, but I will try and highlight eleven more salient things you must know about this well intentioned but badly drafted law.

7 Vital Things You Must Know About Lagos New Traffic Law

The new traffic laws in Lagos has generated a lot of news footprint over the past few weeks and I also wrote about it in a previous article on the need for effective implementation to avoid chaos on Lagos roads.  I am a fan of Governor Fashola and I believe he is well intentioned. But I also feel he is either misinformed or disinterested as to the level of atrocities committed daily by his henchmen and officials under the various agencies he has set up over the years. For instance; LASTMA is an agency many Lagosians will agree is needed but majority will also disapprove of the way it is currently managed and the manner in which they constitute themselves as terror to many law abiding Lagosians.

15 Year Old Nigerian Girl Secures Admission to Study in Havard

15 year old Saheela Ibrahim (pictured above) was accepted into 13 schools, which included Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, University of Chicago, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Cornell and 4 other Universities. She picked Harvard. She will be heading to the university this fall to study neurobiology or neuroscience. 

The high school senior at Wardlaw-Hartridge private school wasn't sure any university would want to admit a 15 year old, so she filled out applications to 14 schools with her grade point average (between a 96 and 97 on a 100-point scale) and her 2,340 SAT score (a perfect 800 on the math section, a 790 in writing and a 750 in reading). 13 schools accepted her, including six of the eight Ivy League schools.

Saheela will be among the youngest members of Harvard's freshman class.

Saheela wants to become a research scientist who studies how the brain works. She credits her parents with teaching her to love learning and work hard. Her father, Sarafa, an analyst and vice-president at a New York financial firm, would often study with her at night and home school her in subjects not taught at school. “I try my best in everything I do,” Saheela said. “Anyone who’s motivated can work wonders.”
