Nigerians find it difficult withdrawing money for the Festive Celebration
As the eve of the Christmas 2016 draws near, people are expected to make cash withdrawals either from the ATMs or directly from the banking halls for their Christmas celebrations. However, Nigerians are not in any way finding it easy getting their money from their respective banks. Most ATMs are not dispensing cash while the few that are dispensing fail at intervals. This has led to crowds at the ATM points. The banking halls are not left out. The banking halls are always filled to their capacities with people wanting to withdraw cash. Some of the customers interviewed alleged that the banks refused to pay them the exact amounts they wanted to withdraw. They have always given them half of the amount they had requested to withdraw. This makes me think that the banks are intentionally frustrating their customers discouraging their withdrawals with several tactics.

Canada Declares Internet Access a Fundamental Right for All
In what is being described as a "historic" decision that will have a significant impact, particularly on the lives of those living in rural and First Nations communities, Canada's telecom agency on Wednesday issued a new rule declaring high-speed internet a basic service "necessary to the quality of life" of all Canadians.
"The future of our economy, our prosperity, and our society—indeed, the future of every citizen—requires us to set ambitious goals, and to get on with connecting all Canadians for the 21st century," said Jean-Pierre Blais, chair of the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), at a news conference. "These goals are ambitious. They will not be easy to achieve and they will cost money. But we have no choice."

Law Enforcement: Ketu Bridge Overcrowded (photos).
The law enforcement agents seem to be working hard on enforcing traffic rules in Lagos especially at the Ketu area of Lagos state. These days crossing the road without using the pedestrian bridge at Ketu is highly prohibited. This has caused the pedestrian bridge at Ketu to be highly overcrowded. If nothing is done urgently, the bridge might be posing some level of danger to the Lagosians using it.
