SMOKE BAN AND EARTH QUAKE!

I just heard that smoking in enclosed public places, pubs and bars etc has become illegal in Wales as of 6am today Monday April 2nd 2007.

Anyone caught lighting up will face a £50 fine and the Assembly Government of Wales has embarked on an advertising and publicity campaign to warn people.

When will this happen in Nigeria? Something tells me Naija's will not adhere to such a ban...well, let's wait and see

It just came to my notice that there was a powerful earth quake just this morning Monday April 2nd which struck the tiny Solomon Islands, swallowing entire villages and killing at least 12 people with many more missing. The shallow quake, with a magnitude of at least 8.0, levelled buildings and damaged a hospital on Gizo island northwest of the Solomons capital, Honiara.

At least seven people died in Gizo, many trapped in their homes when waves swept through the town. Other bodies could be seen but not reached because of huge waves crashing ashore, their government has said in a statement.

It's so sad!
