It is truly painful to watch a life cut short, especially someone who still had so much ahead of them. The incident that occurred today, where a young girl was killed after being hit by a vehicle, is a serious cause for concern.

Every day in Bonny Kingdom, we see drivers moving at dangerously high speeds on roads that are meant for slow driving. Many of these roads—especially residential streets and areas where children are present—are designed for speeds of 20–30 km/h (12–18 mph).

However, some drivers exceed this and drive at much higher speeds, putting lives at risk.

For clarity, here are internationally accepted general speed guidelines:

Residential / Small Roads where children and pedestrians are present::20–30 km/h

Urban / City Roads:40–60 km/h

Highways / Expressways:
80–120 km/h depending on the country and road conditions

Lower speeds on small roads give drivers more time to react and significantly reduce the chances of fatal accidents.

As drivers, we must always remember a life can never be replaced.

Let us slow down, stay alert and protect the lives around us especially our children.

A CALL FOR HOLISTIC REFORM IN BONNY EMPLOYMENT SYSTEM

The recent video circulating online by the Chairman of the Bonny Integrated Recruitment Center (BIRC), Jumbo Julius Adawari, is both timely and commendable. In his address, he clearly stated his commitment to ensuring that companies operating within Bonny Kingdom do not default by diverting employment opportunities meant for indigenes to non-indigenes.

This stance reflects a strong sense of responsibility and dedication to protecting the interests of the Bonny people.

His call for individuals to bring forward complaints to his office further demonstrates openness, accountability, and a willingness to engage directly with the people.

There is no doubt that he is a disciplined leader who stands by his words.
While this effort is highly appreciated, it is important to respectfully draw his attention to another pressing issue affecting workers within the kingdom.

Beyond the allocation of employment slots, there is a growing concern regarding the failure of some companies to uphold the original salary structures and welfare packages agreed upon in contracts.

In many cases, contract holders and Community Liaison Officers (CLOs) allegedly manipulate these agreements by reducing the approved salaries and benefits. Workers are then presented with altered or scrutinized employment letters that do not reflect the true value of what was initially agreed upon.

This practice undermines fairness, transparency, and the dignity of labor.
In a community like Bonny, where the cost of living—covering feeding, transportation, and accommodation—is significantly high, such salary reductions have far-reaching consequences. Many youths are left operating on a hand-to-mouth basis, unable to save, invest, or establish small businesses.

This, in turn, negatively impacts the local economy, as fewer people have the financial capacity to contribute meaningfully to economic growth and development within the kingdom.

Addressing employment allocation without tackling wage integrity leaves a critical gap in the system. Therefore, it is essential that the BIRC leadership expands its focus to include strict monitoring and enforcement of agreed salary standards and welfare packages for workers.

We, however, remain confident in the leadership of Jumbo Julius Adawari. We trust in his mandate, knowing that His Majesty was deliberate and specific in his appointment as Chairman of the BIRC. This appointment reflects a clear intention to bring lasting and sustainable solutions to employment challenges within Bonny Kingdom.

It is our hope that under his leadership, not only will employment opportunities be protected for indigenes, but fairness, transparency, and dignity in employment conditions will also be fully restored.
