Your phone may soon land you in jail: Says FRSC Nigeria

If the recent pronouncement of the Corps Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Osita Chidoka, is anything to go by, Nigerian prisons will soon be playing host to a new set of ‘tenants’ – motorists who make or receive calls while driving.

Chidoka announced in Abuja last Saturday that the era of collecting fines from motorists who violate road safety laws of the country had gone.

The FRSC boss said the system was no longer a deterrent to errant motorists. He said the corps would now prosecute violators of its rules, especially the one prohibiting the use of telephones while driving, and ensure they are sent to jail.

The law may push many errant motorists to prison, even though on the list of offences and penalties posted on the FRSC website, the offence currently attracts a N4,000 fine.

But this does not seem to concern the FRSC as its spokesperson, Mr. Jonas Agwu, said the duty of the corps was to ensure the total eradication of deaths brought about by such prohibited practices.

Agwu shed light on the new strategy in a telephone interview with Saturday PUNCH on Wednesday. He explained that the decision to introduce the prison dimension came about when it became clear thatmany motorists would rather be caught and pay the prescribed fine than obey the law.

Matt Smith exit prompts Doctor Who speculation

The news that Matt Smith is to leave his role in Doctor Who at the end of 2013 has already prompted speculation on the identity of his replacement.

A host of names have been suggested in Sunday's papers, among them Idris Elba, Dame Helen Mirren and John Hurt. Hurt was introduced as 'The Doctor' at the end of the last series and returns in November's 50th anniversary episode.

Prancercise: New eccentric fitness routine mimics dancing like a horse

Move over Richard Simmons.  Johanna Rohrback has arrived, and she has a unique workout routine that is taking the Internet by storm.
Known as Prancercise, Rohrback’s workout is described as “a springy, rhythmic way of moving forward, similar to a horse's gait and is ideally induced by elation.” Various YouTube videos showcase Rohrback “prancing” at different speeds – including the Prancercise walk, trot and gallop.
According to her instruction, all you need are a couple of ankle weights and some music to get started.  For the more intense Prancercise box, individuals can strap the ankle weights to their wrists and punch into the air while they prance.

Rohrback originally introduced her unconventional routine back in 1989, but the endeavor failed to take off.  Looking to revive Prancercise, Rohrback published a book about the routine in Dec. 2012 titled Prancercise: The Art of Physical and Spiritual Excellence, along with the series of YouTube videos currently circulating the web. The book is described as “a recipe for fitness, health, and self-fulfillment!”
