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

mens dept: Very good Fashola and Lagos. Theo Orji is there sleeping for the past 6 years

Well Understood, but still Project is Project! Wheather small or big...

KUDOS TO FASHOLA AND MY STATE GOVERNOR - AJIMOBI

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.

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

ezeama1010: c dis foolish man o...hw many yoruba men get a plot for East, talkless of building dis kind of edifice?somday una go c hw una go tak lose all dese properties.

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..

subnormal: How much is the cost of a single unit, is it on mortgage and what is the length of the mortgage and interest rate. Those are the questions that will help judge this project

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

phantom: At this stage in our national life,government has no business doing this sort of thing.its still the rich folks who ll afford to live here as they can if it was to be a private initiative.from what i see, the middle class still wont be able to afford those apartments.waste of funds IMHO and another one of those 'see,i am working' type of projects.the funds would have been better channeled to health or education.the funds used here can at least buy defibrillators for our hospitals.apart from luth and some big private health centres in lagos, where else do we have mri or ct machines.they each dont cost above 300million.pity!

Okija_juju:

[b]lol!!

Okay. I do pay my taxes, infact, it is deducted at source before it gets to me sef. I have been paying for over 2 years now.

Secondly, I am not aware of any such thing as Local Government taxes here in Nigeria. And please dont be decieved, the Local Governments make a shiitload of money in Nigeria. Question is what have they done with all those monies. Do you know that every small business owner in each state has to pay Local government levies (some even have to pay them daily) for things ranging from sanitation to sticker levies?! Even Hawkers and roadside sellers are not excluded from these taxes and levies. I lived in Obio Apkor LGA of Rivers State for years, this was at some point the richest LGA in Nigeria. Question is what did they do with the billions of Naira they were realizing?

Thirdly, T.V License?! I havent watched terrestial T.V in over 20 years. Till tomorrow, people cant even recieve NTA in Port-Harcourt. Ask for Rivers State T.V, that one na dead matter.

Finally! I am simply pointing out that 'The Projects' a.k.a Low Income housing in the U.S is gonna look like VGC in Nigeria. [/b]

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

Litmus:


Jeeze, this looks hard! Looks like prison. The Nigerian one is just as bad - we have to soften these urban development with trees, flowers, fountains,ponds etc

kingoflag:

They build housing projects to break down in 5yrs? The types of who do you think we employ out here to Govern us, Orji or Peter Obi?

Freddieyankee:

Why can't just praise our country when it going on the bright direction..... Please which projects housing in America is built with knock off materials and runs down in about 5 years ? And mind you there is a big difference btw brown stone building and a project building so oga learn to appreciate good things from our beloved country..... I bet you would av still criticized him if the article had said Nigerians building in Dubai

Lenny5000:

You can never compare this with America... as they build houses with woods and cardboard.. Looks beautiful on the outside but not strong, a lil wind and the house comes crashing down... In Nigeria it might look as beautiful, but the Bricks are strong and the house last much longer than the American ones.. Bless

anonimi:

While we are at YOUR comparison mode, can we also compare the DISPARITY and the gaping ratio between the minimum wage in the US or UK with what their politicians EARN on one hand against the Nigerian minimum wage of N18,000 (that is not even paid completely & promptly) with what OUR politicians RECEIVE from our common wealth every month



Did one of the ACN propaganda people tell you this or you made it up yourself
How many of the 50 or so countries in Africa have you visited?
How many states (or state equivalents) of those countries have you visited?
Even within Nigeria how many states have you visited?
Based on your very extensive visits to all these states in these countries including Nigeria, what yardsticks, parameters and statistics did you use to conclude that Fash-Ole is the "best performing governor in Africa"

Or maybe you were just simply blabbing.



Given your blabbing statements and conclusions above it is doubtful that you live in the UK where the citizens hold their politicians to serious accountability and every action is analysed to the finest detail.
Maybe like we used to say on campus, you are in the university (UK) but the university (UK) is not in you.
[size=13pt]Ask those who knew Surulere where Fash-Ole grew up to tell you how the LOW COST housing there looked like when they were built in the 60s and 70s i.e. 50 and 40 years ago.[/size].
When you have their response, please come back here and compare with what Fash-Ole is doing in the year 2013, Misitah I-like-to-compare well, well
