I hate stupid drivers, I can't seem to escape them


Utterly ridiculous! Today was the third time I have encountered a vehicle where a stupid driver was driving dangerously this past week alone. I do get angry when I see bad driving. Those drivers cutting up and speeding should know that causing road rage is not fame. Like it or not, the whole world knows you as idiots have seen. Unless you live in hell, you should know the main causes of accidents is because of drink driving, careless driving and speeding. I have been a fan of motorsports since childhood but seeing “buffoons” turning public roads to formula one circuits is not funny at all. These kind of idiots are eroding efforts to making road travel safer for all of us.  Reckless driving seems to be a major problem that many drivers have been perpetrating with impunity. Killing innocent people as a result, is not an achievement but is rather a criminal offense and such crooks should spend behind the bars for the rest of their lives. I hardly see any attempts to prevent dangerous driving in most places I have traveled to and the place I was today is no exception. Witnessing careless driving is bad enough.

However, seeing irresponsible drivers speeding like Lewis Hamilton often annoys me and when they bully other motorists on the road, it pains me. I have seen it three times this past week. The society is in dire need of harsher measures to discipline these careless drivers and ensure that lesson is served to the current and future drivers. Without tough punishment, these bad drivers will keep speeding, ignoring traffic lights and overtaking when they shouldn't because they feel they can get away with it. I just wish a day when before one is issued with a driving permit, he goes through tougher driving tests as that would be a good start to combating road carnage. Contador Harrison feels that when it comes to road safety, there should be no compromise and the society should ensure that safe driving is practiced at all times, by all road users. I have been driving since the age of 13 and have never caused an accident. This is because my father told me that knowing how to drive is not good enough to earn me a spot on the road. He and my tutor who was a Jewish mechanic, made it clear to me that I must also know how to drive responsibly.

To secure Africa’s future, there’s need to reduce deforestation’s emissions

African countries are home to some of the world’s top forests cover and in DR Congo, we all know the history of Belgian Congo as the country was known before independence from Belgium and how its vast forests and mineral wealth led to the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. Despite the decreasing forest cover in African countries there is need for continuous fight to better manage the continent environment. Africa is home to some of the most important forests in the world when it comes to ecosystem conservation and biodiversity and countless species found especially in Madagascar, Tanzania, Uganda and Mozambique. The continent and its population have every reason to be proud of their incredible natural forests and species. Therefore, one would expect that the current political and technocratic class would be serious in engineering comprehensive efforts needed to ensure that this centuries old forests can be sustained and enjoyed by future generations as envisaged by th

Social media helping East Africans stay appraised

Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have emerged as the new meeting points for criminals in East Africa a trend that has baffled security agencies in the region. While some might think of crime activities as happening in secret locations, social media platforms are helping make such wars more public than ever before. Study conducted recently revealed that youthful criminal members have been making threats and violent statements on Twitter or Facebook and even worse threatening their victims without any fear although most of them use fake identities. I came across this piece that basically describes how even underage trolls do not like the crime occurring over anything meaningful. “A couple of young girls that need to be raped, plus a resistance, plus sex equals tomb material,” Kabena K****** says bluntly. “This is a f***ing 18-year-old a**hole statement.” More of these criminal acts are happening online and much so the authorities in the region have failed to

ICT is a catalyst for innovation in Africa

Africa is fast becoming an increasingly competitive region and such development are being accelerated through information and communications technology sector that has seen double-digit growth over the past fifteen years. Having traveled to more than a dozen countries in continent, there are exciting things happening in Africa with almost all countries implementing the projects under the ICT. Studies show that Government are continuing to support their country’s innovative spirit through their multiple programmes and initiatives aimed at transforming lives, businesses, and the education sector. As a result, the software vendors have launched various initiatives, such as organizing the Innovation competitions. One of them is Google’s funded ‘Africa connected’ competition where five successful entrants will win $25,000 each and Google hopes to find the most inspiring stories in Africa about how the web has transformed the lives and business ventures of its users in Technolog
