They have just drawn a handful of zebra crossings in front of a government Primary school in my area.
Every morning, on my way to work, I would come across young pupils lined across the fingers of the Zebra crossings waiting to have a break from the non-stop flow of traffic to cross the road into their school.
Car drivers and Keke drivers keep zoom past, negligent of the stranded pupils who stand and wait endlessly to cross the road.
I get angry at them. Very angry. And I sometimes wonder if they're blind or mere fools hurrying to nowhere.
This morning, I walked to the center of the Zebra crossings, stood there, halted oncoming vehicles and waved on the pupils to cross. The anger boiling in me waded off the shouts and curses.
After the pupils had crossed, a bespectacled man rears his head from his Nissan SUV and asks why I am standing in the middle of the road.
" I am standing on the Zebra crossings. Don't you see them?" I hurl back at him.
"Which Zebra? Is this a zoo?"
I wave my head and strut off. I don't know whom to blame; the Government that didn't educate people on road signage or the road user that is waiting for Zebras to gallop across a tarred road before he would step on his breaks and let school children pass.
