Dreyl: this is lovely.fashola thumbs up to you

SLIDE waxie: which crap constructions do u see in Nigeria? Where d hell are u staying?
Some people can talk trash!

Okija_juju:

If you havent seen or cant identify crap construction then you shut up!!

They abound all over Nigeria, especially in Government housing projects.. In Port-Harcourt, I can list some;

1. Trans-Amadi Gardens Estate.. The building were so badly built that many people who bought those houses had to redo almost the whole danm building. Electricity issues, plumbing issues, hollow walls, e.t.c.

2. Odilis low cost housing project (Azikiwe Road)

and many more..

berem: you ain't far from the truth sha. The estate where i live is quite old but the newly constructed flats in the same estate is an apology. the buildings got no pillars and the older buildings are stronger than the new ones. The old ones have balcony while the new buildings have no balcony. to make the situation worse, each of the new flats is sold at 8 million naira per flat or 300k per annum. This is why i still love Festac houses built by foreign contractors back in the 70's.

[b]8 Million na small money na..

Trans- Amadi Garden as at the time I lived there was selling the Semi-Detached for 35 Million. By the time you finish doing the modifications and repairs on the house, you would have spent another 3 - 5 million. One man actually knocked down all the walls in the house because whenever you try to put a nail in the wall, the nail falls into a hole. It was like they used 1 bag of Cement to mould 500 blocks. One other guys house, he suffered so much electricity issues that he decided to rewire his house. When the new electrician started pulling out wires, come and see joinings inside the walls. Ask for water!! Dont bother. The Estate was suppoed to have a central water system. That one is an abandoned project till date, so the contractor sunk boreholes in each house. The one in our house was producing brown water and the same was the case for many others who had to re-sink their boreholes to greater depths. I swear, Trans-Amadi gardens was a horrible experience. My father had to sell off his own house and move.

Guess how much it is to rent that crap?! 2.5 million per annum.. [/b]

abokinside: Well done gov Fashola. Atleast he is doing something to tackle the housing problem in lagos.

This is what Housing in the Projects look like hommie..




COMPARE...

truth.com:


You should compare what the government revenue in US or UK is with Nigeria Government revenue too.

muyiwah666: “My connection with Lagos is deep and longstanding. Although I come from across the Niger, I started my career in Lagos and I have been married for over 50 years to a native of Lagos, from Egba precisely.”.

Good work from the Governor...but Anyaoku should know better.....EGBA IS NOT LAGOS PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...AND LAGOS IS NOT EGBA...

eggheaders:

foolglobe or whatever is it your progenitors choose to christened you numbskull.it will make sense for you to stop your sickening obsession of lagos and the Yoruba race.if only you can channel all the energy you use in hating yorubas into criticizing all the failures in the helm of affairs in your enclave.your folks wont be trooping out of your enclave in their millions.to places where they exteminate them for charity like there soul is more worthless than that of chicken.

Okija_juju:

My point is that what the U.S calls 'The Projects" would be luxury apartments in Nigeria..

truth.com:


You should compare what the government revenue in US or UK is with Nigeria Government revenue too. Just hail this man. He is the best performing governor in the whole of Africa. I live in UK and I know what huge revenue ordinary Council (like local government) are realising in UK here compare to Nigeria local governments. When last if at all did you paid tax to your local government council in 9ja My monthly Council tax here is around 125 pound (about N31,000). What about the TV Licence for watching TV

Mehn, we can't compare how things are run in those countries with ours. Economic situations in those countries are better and stable.

YOU CANT FAULT ANYAOKU IN THE USE OF WORDS IN ENGLISH. Native of also means 'related by birth'.
WHENEVER HE SPEAKS, DUE RESPECT MUST BE GIVEN TO HIM. Be a Secretary-Gen of the Commonwealth is not for slowpokes. Marrying for 50+ years means he knows what he's saying. Or DO YOU WANT HIM TO COME TO YOU TO ANALYSE HIS STATEMENTS?
I think these online teenagers/imbeciled should be quarantined for sanity sake!

MajorJ: In america you know what this is called, they are called the projects, lowest/cheapest apartments, they are usually built with fake knockoff materials and usually end up being rundown in about 5 years from construction date, so i will say enjoy it while it lasts
