Go and read American history...the likes of Abraham Lincoln did some things the ordinary American considered foolish then but they're reaping the benefits today.

I really don't have much to say to you until you know the true reasons why countries who practices real democracy have different ministry. Why jobs are shared among the ministries and a particular minister is assigned to their duties. You love this man dearly from your comments but acting right in a time of wrong is quite foolish.
This is his chance to truly impress by drawing a blueprint to savage a recession hitting country and shine in the face of all including opponents. Guess there are no important national concerns then.

I will have a proper debate with you when you actually implore your years of education into a conversation, instead of name calling like a disease infested worm. Till then enjoy sucking the empty b*obs of your government who have the most expensive blackout in history; £20 billion dollars from 1990-2017 spent on giving you 24hrs electric or should I say 2.4hrs electricity.

You are not saying anything and you have said nothing so far.

Just the usual rant.


No big deal in a leader inspecting infrastructure they spent money building.

Putin once did the same thing and handled the contractors accordingly.

Yet you quote Putin as if that is the role model.

I forsee another peopled centred movement and citizenry backed presidential candidate,against the establishment and cabal in 2019 ,as it was in 2015,if Osinbajo continues this way.Ironically,he maybe d fulcrum of the Ist revolution in Nigeria and d making or breaking of d contraption called Nigeria in 2019,again if he continues at this pace and vision.
How?The north wud want to lay claim that a candidate from that region shud complete d 2nd tenure of d sick cattle rearer.But having tasted what good governance is,and having seen a Nigeria pulled from d economic nightmare it was plunged into,with positivity in other areas,the people wud troop out from all nooks and crannies to demand that its either Osinbajo gets a full,4yr tenure to continue his then manifest incredible works,or Nigeria seperates,so that those satisfied with d kind of mediocre leadership provided by d accursed,corrupt fisherman,or d sick,disappointing PMB,stick with that type,while d rest of us,go our way to get Osinbajo type leadership.
I see d northern elite and cabal losing the 2019 decider of Nigeria's faith.

Osinbajo Inspects Toilets, Carousels at Lagos Airport
February 24, 201752369



Chinedu Eze

In line with the federal government policy on the ease of doing business in the country, the acting President, Yemi Osinbajo yesterday inspected facilities, including toilets and the carousels, at the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.

Accompanied by the Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, the acting president drove from the VIP section of the domestic airport through airside to the tarmac of the international wing of the airport.

He went through the security areas to the arrival hall, where he inspected the travelator and expressed disappointment that the facility was not working.
Osinbajo also inspected the carousels and toilets, before proceeding to the departure hall of the airport.
Throughout the inspection, he expressed disappointment that many of the facilities were either obsolete or broken down, and even newly installed equipment like the carousels were not in efficient working order.
He inspected the immigration area and went to the Visa on Arrival section to enquire how quickly a visitor could obtain visa on arrival.



“We are doing a lot to ease the process of doing business in Nigeria, so we want to make the environment friendly, not only in the area of transportation but for everybody who wants to come and do business in Nigeria.

“The airport is one of the places where we need to ensure that facilities are working and that things are being done properly. We have come and we have looked around and seen quite a few of the equipment.
“There are many things that need to be corrected, so a lot need to be done. We need to work on them,” Osinbajo said.

The minister also affirmed that there were things that needed to be done at the airport to enhance easy facilitation and improve the comfort of travellers, adding: “We are here to look at these things. I agree with the vice-president. A lot needs to be done. That is why we are here.”

When THISDAY asked Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) sources why many of the facilities were not in good working condition, one official said most of the contracts awarded for the execution of projects at the airports were done by the Ministry of Aviation (now Transport).

He disclosed that oftentimes FAAN’s management is excluded from the award of contracts for project, “so for the agency to effectively handle the affairs at the airports, interferences from the ministry must stop.”
During the inspection, it was learnt that the company that ought to maintain the carousel had not been paid and discontinued work.

He actually left Abuja to check toilets and how I knew is a mystery to find on a faceless forum.
Suggesting a solution? I did three mentions ago by stating minister of health and Lagos ministry of health.
I find it hard believing you have crossed boarders cos if you have then your comments are either typed by a 2 years old suckling or you are paid peanuts from your commonwealth to dance to every bongo bongo played by the government.
And finally I am not a fan of politics, America or British but I do read daily to know what's up. A BBC and CNN app is all that is needed.

Mr. Ag president please do sack all these ministers in and out of Aso Rock let have the right people to get to work.

Don't you know how dishonest and inefficient most of these ministries are? Read the news very well and you'll notice that the money for the repair of these facilities was collected by the ministries but never got to the relevant contractors.

By washing public toilets? Never knew we are being governed by a janitor. The recession is no coincidence then.

Actually the toilets at MMIA are pretty good, I used them in September last year while waiting for my flight and I was pleasantly surprised. There is always an attendant inside that gives you toilet paper and clean after you.

And if you know anything about Nigeria Aviation sector you should know that both the ministers and the Aviation stakeholders have nothing to offer, Billions of naira have been spent on Airports in the country yet some can't boast of good runways and basic facilities.

Brother, read the news o this issue very well. All these ministries you're talking about do next to nothing. From the news, you can ascertain that these ministries are very corrupt! They FG paid for repairs of the airport facilities but it never got to the relevant contractors. I have a feeling if they know he's an acting president that will not just give order but also back it up with impromptu visits to inspect, people will seat tight and things will get better. It's not a matter of loving him so dearly, he's not my father but I believe he has his reasons. For example, he was a lecturer in Unilag and must have travelled for international conferences using the airport so, he knows the situation of things there. If the Ministries are saying they've repaired the facilities and the airport users are saying a different thing, how does he want to ascertain the truth? I won't be surprised if the visit is what informed the firing of the 10airport top officials.

Again like I say to others I will have a real convo with you when you learn to think out of the box. "This is Nigeria and not some developed countries" yet you pray and fast for Nigeria to be developed and still think like this. Or better still, you wish to leave Nigeria for greener pastures in a developed world. I have met your type before so no surprises.

Encourage a VP to inspect toilets when we have a ministry and minister of health. I really think some countries need to be carved off.

Do you know how many billions go into all this things and at the end things are like this?

So we should celebrate that our VP is doing the work of a ministry of health or we should call out and shame the ministry and the people assigned to do it. You pray for a better Nigeria then you act and think like a better citizen and not swallow every rubbish you see.

PYO for president.

Permit me to vociferously eulogize this dogged gentleman for his unquantifiable achievements in just one month as Acting President. He has enthusiastically demonstrated a visionary leadership,indisputably made obvious in his quintessential leadership strategies. An erudite professor, a legal luminary and a compendium of political sagacity. Prof Yemi is actively acting as our Acting President ! Mind you, I'm not a card carrying member of any political party. Just aired my view without any sentiment.
