<p>Most would like to score political points, but implementing fundamentally flawed policies. Here's an excerpt from the article: <br />
  &quot;OFFENDERS of traffic rules in Rivers State are to be sent to psychiatric hospital in the state for attention. Governor Chibuike Amaechi made this known when he set up Road Traffic Management Authority to manage the traffic situation in the state capital.&quot;</p> ]]></description>

I knew i wanted people to be able to see the cars they want to buy without visiting the seller, but I had no idea how to implement.
The arrival of my brother on the scene was both coincidental and timely bacause he bacame the other last part of the jigsaw.</p>
<p>We had a meeting over the phone in the middle of October 2009 and later concluded plans to create a website service during his visit to my home in Ireland late October of the same year.</p>

<p>Cars are certainly changing, and the rate of that change will only increase over the next decade. Before now, it was almost unthinkable in Nigeria to have cars and buses installed with television sets and video players. First, it was only luxury buses that had such luxury. Now, many mini buses, cars and jeeps have that and other advanced technology. There are also vehicles, which respond to voices to change radio, TV stations and a number of other commands without touching any button.</p>

The party's candidate and his deputy, were said to have survived the accident with serious injuries.<br />
</p>
<p>Until his defection to the CPC, Shittu was the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the administration of Senator Rashidi Ladoja.  It was gathered that the four people that died in the auto crash included the State Chairman of the party, Chief Folorunsho Yekini, the director of the campaign organisation for the governorship candidate, Dr. Lai Fatokun, the party's chairman in the Oluyole Local Government, Mr. Kola Adeoye, and the driver of the vehicle.<br />
  It was gathered that 11 other people on the entourage sustained serious injuries in the crash that occurred on Ife-Ede-Akure-Abuja road. The politicians were reportedly on their way to Abuja in a 14-seater bus to partake in the national convention of the party.<br />
</p>
<p>According to source, one of the tyres of the bus burst and led to instability of the vehicle which later skidded-off the road.  According to one of the survivors of the accident, Mr. Taofeek Aiyegbajeje, the vehicle somersaulted thrice and flung the occupants in different directions.  Aiyegbajeje said the accident victims had been rushed to the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, OAUTH.  Though, the governorship aspirant was injured in the neck, he said he was recovering from the injuries he sustained.  Shittu managed to speak from the hospital  bed, describing the incident as painful and unexpected.<br />
