hen a child is born, its parents, neighbors and extended family rejoice and thank the Almighty God for His new creation. On the day of the child’s naming, all converge in varying attractive attires to witness the occasion and as the child is being prayed for, all the people wish the child long life and prosperity as contact points for their diverse needs and others agree to the prayers being said by echoing “Amen”. For instance, the barren will pray for the fruit of the womb, those with female or male only children will pray for opposite gender child and the singles supplicate for their own day to come speedily; whereas the old concur, as they have long retired from child bearing but wish their children well too.

Also, the child’s parents, having consulted extensively with other members of the extended family, choose a befitting name for the child. Such name no doubt goes in the existing tradition of the family and is capable of having continuous influence on the child throughout his life time.

It is therefore in the light of the above that this Magazine was named the Flagship and has berthed at the coast of the foremost Department in the Corps. There is no doubt that its voyage to the current coast has been quite long, however, the rudders have been built to withstand all sea hazards in the knowledge that its future sails will transverse the world’s waters.

As you witness the launch of The Flagship with this maiden edition, continue to wish it well as the Corps is the better for it.

At this juncture, please permit us to take you on the first voyage.

The Flagship Monthly January 2013 By AS Adeniyi(SRC)


n life, when one is bombarded with all manners of negative criticisms aimed at either demoting or eradicating the person or institution, the best way to silence such antagonists is to continue to soar in success.

The above is true of the Federal Road Safety Corps. The Corps has a lot of antagonists who have not spared any means at their disposal to disparage and pull it down in spite of its attested local and international achievements which have bolstered the nation’s image in the comity of nation’s alive to road safety ideals. Today, the FRSC has achieved considerable fits. These achievements include but not limited to the following:

World Bank intervention on country capacity review of Nigeria which in part was one of the measures to close identified gaps in Nigeria road safety which culminated in the donation of 16 patrol vehicles with state-of-art devices and other operational equipment which has enhanced FRSC activities on the highways, and facilitates prompt response to road crashes.

Public presentation of Toll free telephone number 122 which created free platform for seamless communication gateway between the Corps and the public enabling prompt response to road traffic emergencies.

Constitution of committee on implementation of international vehicle transit charges at selected Nigeria Border posts thus evolving a strong mechanism to enhance safety and co-ordination of trans-border movement.

Convincing the National Assembly and the general public on the need for the upgrade of the National Drivers Licence and Number Plates. The upgrade of the Driver’s Licence restored its integrity enabling Nigerian to secure reciprocity with six European countries and the state of Mary-land in the USA whereby holders of the new Nigeria drivers licence can replace same with the drivers’ licences of these six European countries and the state of Mary-land.

WHAT TEXTING IS

exting while driving according to Wikipedia, a free Encyclopedia, is the act of composing, sending reading text messages, emails or making other similar use of the Web on a mobile phone while operating a vehicle. This act while driving leads to increase distraction behind the wheels and had been responsible for lots of road traffic crashes. With the proliferation of the use of handsets, texting while driving is a growing trend, worldwide, quickly becoming one of the top killers. Drivers assume they can handle texting while driving and remain safe, but the numbers of road crashes as a result of this act is becoming alarming. CONCERN ABOUT TEXTING WHILE DRIVING Facts’ emerging from the western part of the world, America, for example indicates the following about texting while driving: a. It causes 1,600,000 road crashes per year- National Safety Council. b. 330,000 injuries per year – Harvard Centre for Risk Analysis Study. c. 11 teen deaths everyday – Ins. Institute for Hwy Safety Fatality Facts.

d. Nearly 25% of all car crashes caused by texting. e. Makes you 23 times more likely to crash- National Hwy Transportation safety Admin. f. is the same as driving blind for 5 seconds at a time – VA Tech transportation Institute. g. Texts place by 800,000 drivers at any given country. h. Slows your brake reaction speed by 18% - Human Factors and Ergonomic Society. i. Leads to a 400% increase with eyes off

the road.

WHY TEXTING IS SO DANGEROUS Driving is a full time job so while trying to send that message, your brain is not overly conscious of the fact they can in front of you has had to come to a complete stop. We all know what happen next. You may think you may handle the reading text while driving but texts have shown otherwise.

A study performed by car and driver magazine (unscientific by their own admission) compared driving results between normal driving while reading a text, while writing on text and under the influence of alcohol drinks. The results threw up some surprises with texting worsening reaction times by 600% compared to someone impaired by alcohol. (Continued on page 7)

TEXTING WHILE DRIVING : A HIGH RISK ENGAGEMENT



Reading text was actually more dangerous than writing them. Even the best results for texting while driving still resulted in travelling an extra four feet than normal, which can be the difference between a near miss and a solid hit resulting in possibly injury or at least an expensive trip to shop or panel beater for your car. About 6 times more likely to cause road crashes than driving intoxicated.

THE NIGERIAN SITUATION While battling with the issue of the effects of alcohol and driving as it relates to causes of road traffic crashes, facts are emerging in Nigeria that texting and phoning are fast becoming dangerous and could soon overtake other causes of Road Traffic Crashes.

RECOMMENDATIONS •Legislate with higher punishment. •Intensify Enforcement and public

enlightenment campaigns •Consider the use of technology to block signals inside the car.

CONCLUSION Although data on the Road Traffic Crashes resultant of the use of phone while driving is at the pedestal stage in Nigeria, Enforcement efforts by FRSC in 2012 indicated a total arrests of 7,379 for the practice (1.3% of 571,673 Offences booked ). The year 2013 will witness aggressive data collation on crashes arising from the use of phone while driving . 1.

In order to have a vivid insight into the motivating factors behind the publication of The Flagship, members of the Editorial Board interviewed the Publisher, Boboye Oyeyemi, MFR, mni Deputy Corps Marshal (Operations) in his office on Friday, 25 January, 2013. The interaction is indeed an eye opener, except:

PUBLISHER OF THE FLAGSHIP

Question: What is the Flagship? Answer: The Flagship is the Operations Department’s Magazine. It is a Monthly publication with the mandate to project the activities of the Department (in RSHQ and field Commands) particularly and the Corps in general. Question: What necessitated the floating of the Magazine?

Answer: There is no doubt that information is power and the diverse the sources of one’s information the better as it has a way of reflecting in one’s disposition towards one’s duties and life generally.

I observed that in spite of much work that the Department was engaged in, there was no alternative source of information except through the routine duties and this has a boring effect on staff. Aside from this, I found out that a lot of talents abound in the Corps that could be tapped. Such talents in the Department were therefore harnessed to form the nucleus of the production team of the Magazine. By implication, though it is additional task for all in the Department and the team has decided to deploy their talents positively, under guidance, for the good of all.



Question: What is the Magazine’s

achievement intent.

Answer: The Magazine is intended

to key into the Corps strategic objectives and facilitate speedy achievement of its goals. It is also geared towards sustenance of Operations Department position as primus inters Paris. Aside from these it aims at bringing members of the Department closer through interactions. It is also expected to be inclusive as contributions from other Departments and Corps Offices will be accommodated thus a vehicle for the Corps unity.

Question: How do you intend to

sustain the publication in view of the fact that there is no special financial allocation to the Department for such engagement?

Answer: In terms of personnel, the

Department is known for its doggedness, having been fortunate to have dedicated staff that have sacrificed over time and are still willing to continue to do so. Financially, it is tough but will be weathered. Aside from these, it being a monthly publication will allow the Editorial Board ample room to publish quality contents regularly. Above all, the Department relies on the goodwill and continued support of the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive through his motivational roles, to keep the flag flying high.

Old Farmer to Son in Prison Farmer: This year I won’t be able to plant potatoes because I can’t dig the field, I knew if you were here you would have helped me. Son: Dad, don’t even think of digging the field because that’s where I buried the money I stole. (The Police read the letter and the next day the whole field was dug by the

Policemen looking for the money but nothing was found). The following day the son wrote again, Son: Now you can plant your potatoes, the workmen must have finished ridging by now . Dad….. It’s the best I can do from here.

China Product A Nigerian lady who married a Chinese guy was lucky to have a baby girl after 9 months of marriage. But after 3 months, the baby died and the mother of the Nigerian lady (the baby’s grandma) came to visit them was just shouting ; I knew it ! I knew it ! I knew it ! I knew it ! e.t.c. The Investigating Police Officer (IPO) who was lurking

around seeking evidence for culpable homicide overheard her and immediately invited her to question her about what she said she knew about the baby’s death and the woman responded immediately and repeatedly ; I knew that China product don’t last, I knew that China product don’t last etc.

Foolish Man A man won a 10 million dollars lottery. After claiming the money, he went into bush and buried it at the foot of a tree and took a picture of the tree to remind him of his treasure base after which he

boarded a plane to London. In flight, feeling good about himself, he brought out the photo from his pocket, looked at it and suddenly busted into tears. In his hands was the photo and in it was a man smiling at the top of the tree.
