Duhhhhhhhh, are you just reasoning it.
😂 😂 😂



So you people on NL shouldn't get offended when I am belittling Nigeria.

VaselineCrew:


The likes of seunmsg, legendhero, omenka... will still get offended.

They will put their chests out, headstrong in their staunch support for under-development.

These things don't even cross their minds, like maybe a society need a 911, naaaaaaa. That's not their concern at aaaaaaaafllll.

It's to log on and tell us why so and so politician is this and that, like how president need a yacht, and how we don't need 911, that if you want 911 you should go to your village or japa, you won't be missed.

Sad that these guys are in the majority in some areas.

Dial 112 on your mobile phone and see what happens

I remembered the two scenarios

1.. I was about crossing the Express at oworo(olopomeji) when this guy was hit by a car and it sent it across the pavement, I rushed there and saw him bleeding, crossed to call the police from alonge police station division that mounts there,they said it's not their work, we should call someone else... tho we managed to inform his family and he was taken to the hospital (st Daniel's hospital at carwash)....

2.. that same road(na this one pain me wella)
An elderly woman was knocked down and her leg bone was broken and you could see it,those same alonge police said their jurisdiction no reach there..called 112 and they said no available ambulance

We did and we do.

We had 199 back when P&T and Nitel were still operating. Chaos ensued when private telecoms operators arrived and Nitel went comatose. Every telecoms company had its own number and many states also had their own numbers. Lagos State had 112 and 777 as emergency numbers. Finally the NCC has developed a project to have a single 3 digit emergency number for the whole of Nigeria and the number is 112.

You can see 112 listed as one of the numbers in my second post (112 is the general emergency number, but some agencies still have their own specific numbers).

naptu2:


Telephone service was provided by P&T (Posts And Telecoms) which became Nitel in 1985. There were area codes - Ikoyi was 68, Victoria Island was 61, Lagos Island was 62, Festac was 88, Ikeja was 97, etc.

You had to wait for a dialling tone before you could make a call. We were lucky, the government paid our phone bill.

There were huge telephone books (1978, 1979, 1982 and 1983) and you could find people's phone numbers with the telephone books.

Some short codes were 199 (emergency), 198 (speaking clock), but I can't remember what the ring back short code was.

You had to book international calls with the operator.

naptu2:


We used to have a single national three digit emergency number back when Nitel was the only service provider (the number was 199).

The system became disorganised when private operators were given licenses and Nitel eventually collapsed. Each service provider and state had its own emergency number. The NCC is trying to reintroduce a single national three digit emergency number.

Yes! Absolutely I have. I did so just last week.


c1982 I called 199 when my neighbours alerted me that there was a fire at NEPA Building on Awolowo Road. They answered and the Fire Service put out the fire.


c2016 I called 112 when a building near my brother's house was on fire. The operator told me that they've already gotten the information and that the Fire Service was on its way. The Fire Service arrived around 7 minutes later.


I heard a loud crash around 5am two Saturdays ago when I was getting ready to go jogging. Just as I thought, a probably drunk driver had crashed into two other cars. I went pass the accident scene on my way to the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge and I saw a guy on the floor. It looked like he was unconscious. I called 112 as soon as I got to the bridge and they said that they had already gotten the information and LASAMBUS was on its way. I passed by the scene an hour later on my way back home and the man was gone and there were policemen on the scene.

It works.

I had already memorised 199 when I was still in nursery school. I looked at that page on the P&T telephone directory at least once a week. Memorise it. It might save your life one day.

Saturday morning ritual

I was pretty late going to the bridge this morning. It was 5 minutes to 5am and I was almost ready to head out when I heard

GBA GBOOM GUN KINKILI

It sounded like someone had dropped a heavy load from a great height. I had a little suspicion about the cause of the noise. I heard people shouting and a girl repeatedly screaming immediately afterwards. That heightened my suspicion. Then, a minute later, there were many loud and persistent honking of car horns. Now I was certain about the cause of the noise.

I went out and took a detour to see the accident scene. The back of a black Toyota Corolla had been completely smashed to bits. A red corolla was also involved, but I couldn't see the damage at that time. There was a small crowd some distance away. They were standing around a man that was lying on the median. He wasn't moving at all.

I went back to the bridge and called 112. They said that they had already been informed about the accident and had sent LASAMBUS to the scene.

I went back to the scene after my workout (an hour and 30 minutes later).

A man walked past me and kept muttering to himself, "If you want to drink, stay in your house and drink. If you want to drink, stay in your house and drink".

I saw the smashed black Toyota and I saw the damage on the red Toyota (it wasn't much). Now, for the first time, I saw the third car. Apparently, it was a Honda that rammed into the rear of the black Toyota, which made the black Toyota hit the red Toyota.

The engine of the black Honda was completely smashed and one of its side mirrors was dangling. A policeman was inspecting the accident scene. A girl was kneeling and praying fervently beside the black Honda.


This kind of thing has been a common sight on Admiralty Way in the past 6 years (since that notorious night club was opened). It's reduced since the night club closed, but obviously the problem hasn't gone away.
