berem: STFU you bloody hypocrite! The other day you posted a picture of a bad portion of Lagos -Badagry express way and said Fashola was not working. You failed to post pictures of the already constructed part of the road. Now you are whining and complaining about a solar panel which fell down due to poor installation. You should be ashamed of yourself you hypocrite!

Lilimax:
There is nothing wrong with China products when given the right specification for manufacturing.
Afterall China manufactures products for the US, Britain, Canada etc.
The problem is that Nigeria has no standard specification in a lot of products coming into
the country from China. Anything goes.... Standard Organization of Nigeria should wake up to their responsibilty as the onus rest on them in drafting standards for products.

davodyguy: The author of this post doesnt have a brain. 100s of units were installed, storm or rain made 1 unit to fall, then $470million has fallen? SMH

The project which is funded through a $600 million credit facility obtained from EXIMBANK China, was secured as a soft credit line with 3 per cent interest repayable in 10 years after an initial 10 years of grace. That is all we know about the transaction because there exists a clause in the contract that stipulates non- disclosure to a third- party. This move is beyond unacceptable as the federal government should not have allowed ZTE to include such a clause.

The report also mentioned “that some of the materials deployed for the critical national security infrastructure are of low quality compared to what is used in China.”

Sky-walker:


Most of china products coming to Nigeria are inferior products because no quality assurance team to check them.As long as it works. I know someone who got a contract to distribute IPAD to educational institution only for him to go to china and bring in far more inferior products that is not apple product. Nobody checks them. That's why i said made in china products. Most of made in china products are not the same quality as other products being shipped to developed countries.

Eko Ile:


Joke ke? Na so we see am o....

lmao...



Funny enough, the Reterdeens responsible for this sad and shameful atrocity drive up and down all day everyday with this shame in full sight and still ignore it as if it's has nothing to do with them.


Meanwhile, the money for this rubbish na borrow borrow from china and we are still on the hook for that loan....

GeneralJ: No dey go CHINA but the fisherman and his cohorts would never listen, buying everything from china, no be ZTE dey make those chinco fone wey go dey fuc.k up a week after buying it, but they will still go and contract the same company without doing research, somebody please EDUCATE these people.
Even look at the camera pole, one camera on a pole, are these people dullards or what, so one pole for one camera, how one camera go take see the whole road...SMH for this country ohhh

Lilimax:
Why do you call them inferior? We do not have have a standard specification to comapre most of this electronic products coming into the country. I repeat, SON should wake up to their duties.
Didn't you see what NAFDAC is doing in the area of drugs and Cosmetics? They are somehow winning the war agianst inferior drugs because they have a set standard in place to check any drugs that is being manufactured.

Can you stop this nonsensical brouhaha already? I live here & I've seen a couple of those sh1ts called solar panels that have rotten, fallen or even stopped working. Why are there so many hypocrites licking the as$ of this present no. 1 citizen?

Just yesterday, I was so disappointed at the nature of the drainage channels along the central area. And I started wondering if at all GEJ sometimes come out at night to see things & how there are.

If time permits me before today runs out, I'll snap & upload some for Nlanders to see.

Bloody hypocrite.

Okija_juju: This thread is a joke best suited for a beer palour.. I jumped in hoping to see something and ended up disappointed. 1 camera pole that was obviously brought down as a result of an accident is what the OP is calling the entire CCTV programme as packed up.. Its like entering a road with many streetlights only to find one that is bad and then photograph it and call the entire street as having no streetlights..

This is very sad the extent Nigerians would go to rubbish their own.

The Mod that put this uselss thread on the frontpage is just as much a person as the OP.

Leading debate on the motion, he raised concern about the quality of materials being used by the Chinese company alleging that they were substandard.

He further noted that the poles being used for the CCTV cameras were different from the ones used by the same company in countries like Ghana, Senegal, Morroco and Malaysia.

He said,"the National Public Security Communication System is based in a system known as Global Trunking Architecture which provides telecommunication and it could be used to monitor elections and verification of election results as well as disaster management and control.

"The contractual details of the transaction with the Federal Government is presently shrouded in secrecy which is a clear violation of the doctrine of transparency, accountability and an infringement of the laws of the country," Honourable Saleh said..

speedyboi: as much as i like eko ile and texas.cowgirl. I really think both of you are now becoming a nuisance on this forum. When will you peeps learn that, only people who live in a city can make conclusions about those cities? Texas.cowgirl, you don't even live in Nigeria, yet you will take your time (which you could have used for more constructive things) to search for some ridiculous and mostly old pictures on the internet. for what exactly? To prove what? We all need to start thinking right! If Nigerians think they are alright, then live it that way, and stop meddling.

eko-ile, this post is very ridiculous. If anyone should start any post of this kind, it should be an abuja resident...who knows the recent happenings and not you posting different angles of the same camera. how ridiculous can you get? I wonder what some Nairalanders derive from all this shii. I visit lagos so well (official purposes), I know things that are not right, i know the media propaganda, i know Lagos. But what you will never see me do is bash Lagos or any other place for that matter. If Lagos residents say everything is alright, who am i to say NO?


If Abuja residents say everything is fine, who is eko-ile to say NO?
And it's even more sad to think that you guys are ____________eeerm...never mind

Texas.Cowgirl:



Did he say otherwise?

I fail to understand a typical Nigerian's reasoning (no reasoning at all)

How's Eko-Ile making Nigeria look bad? Did Eko-Ile use baseball bats to smash up that [b]CCTV?

IGBO-SON:


^^^On the bolded: i wouldn't put it past him!

Sincere 9gerian: "$470 Million Abuja CCTV Cameras & Solar Panel packups 6 Months"

Someone posted earlier that ALL the pictures are different angles of the SAME camera that was probably brought down by rain storm or whatever. How the falling of a single camera amounts to "$470 Million Abuja CCTV Cameras & Solar Panel packups 6 Months" can only be explained by ACN notorious LIARS and propagandists. These ACN e-warriors still dont understand that you cant win the hearts of people by telling WICKED and unclad LIES. Even if Lai Muhammed, is notorious for telling lies cant his footsolders do something different?

Back to the fallen CCTV cameras, I know the Chinese contractors handling the project have not completed the work so they should be compelled to go and fix any fallen camera. This sort of project should have a maintenance component to fix things like this immediately.

Meanwhile, the Lagos light rail project, Lagos- Badagry road and many other projects in Lagos are also being done by the Chinese.
