bitweezy: I seriously do not understand why Amaechi gets a lot of hype, Rivers State earns the highest allocation in the country and all he has done with the huge revenue is build schools, with no infrastructural development. I heard the town gets flooded every year and nothing has been done to improve the plight of the masses, no major road network or visible presence of the Government.

Try visiting Gombe State and see the massive projects executed in just one year both schools, roads and the entire city is currently been piped for water, you would then realize that he is as corrupt as Odili.

Uyo, Akwa Ibom is generally more celebrated than Port Harcourt. A city like Port Harcourt ought to be more beautiful than it is now and some slowpoke dears to compare him to Fashola (am not a lagosian).

As far as I am concerned Amaechi deserves whatever the FG does to him cos he has not differentiated himself like Fashola and the likes.

Eko Ile:



This is about schools for little kids and not eko ile.

Must you you shallow illiterates bother us with this stupidity? Get out of the thread if you have nothing better to contribute.. It's not by force.


What a bunch of scums..

We are not going anywhere. We are right here with you today, for better for worse. Till the MODs delete the thread do us part!...


Akwa Ibom Power Plant!!! Please post the the picture of that your Fashola generator again, thank you!

[size=30pt]Fears of epidemic in Lagos State public schools, as 6,000 pupils share toilet[/size]

A major outbreak of epidemic may be in the offing in public schools in Lagos State as findings show that in some cases as many as 6,000 pupils share one toilet. In most schools, pupils defecate carelessly around their school compounds due to either lack of toilet facilities or inadequate latrines, Olunike Asaolu and Motunrayo Aboderin report.

Dirty toilets, broken water systems, faulty stall doors and dearth of toilets have now become a norm in public schools across Lagos State, an indication that the state is still far from reaching the Millennium Development Goal on sanitation.

Goal seven of the MDG is to ensure environmental sustainability. And Target C of the goal is to halve by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and halve basic sanitation. One of the indicators of this, according to Section 7.8, is the proportion of the population using an improved drinking water source. Section 7.9 deals with the proportion of the population using improved sanitation facilities

Investigations into the state of toilet facilities in public schools by our correspondents show that toilets in government schools are dirty and grossly inadequate. Because of this, near-by bushes around the school areas have been turned to dung dump, a situation experts claim may result in serious epidemic unless it is urgently checked.

Visits to public schools in different local government areas in Lagos including Ikorodu, Ajeromi/Ifelodun and Alimosho show that the pupils do not only lack basic learning facilities but also do not have access to essential amenities that should make life more comfortable for them.

In most of these schools, the toilets were filled up to the extent that there were excreta on the floor, and where the toilets were manageable, there was no water to flush or clean them. Some toilets had been shut and condemned by school authorities.

For instance, at Tolu Complex in Ajegunle, Nkiru Nwachukwu and some of her friends, all pupils of Ojora Memorial Junior Secondary School, Ajegunle, Lagos, were seen outside the school premises, looking for a place to ease themselves, though they had lied to the gatemen that they were going out to buy something to eat.

Nwachukwu, who appeared to be more outspoken of all the pupils told one of our correspondents that it was easier to get out of the compound when they deceive the gatement of their mission. She said, “We don’t go out to buy anything, though this is what we usually tell our gate men. But we are always coming out to look for where to ease ourselves, because our school toilets are bad. Nobody uses them anymore. In fact, they are in a terrible mess, we don’t go near them, and they have been locked. So, we all look for where to urinate or defecate probably in the bush around us here.”

A pupil of the school, Damilola Olagunju, who was reluctant to enter the toilet, said she hardly used the toilet. Everyday, before coming to school, she said she made sure she eased herself to relieve herself of any form of discomfort during school hours.

Asked where she would ease herself, if at all she felt like going to the toilet, Olagunju said, “Then I will just go to a bush or one corner of the school. I don’t ease myself in public, but I have no choice. I just can’t imagine myself using that toilet. I don’t want to catch any funny disease. It’s really not good that we don’t have a clean toilet. I wish something could be done.”

Hezron Lorraine: abeg,this man try oh.I comot cap for am.Amaechi dey kampe.no mind them all.
F$ck GEJ.F$ck Dame PEJ,F$ck PDP,F$ck NGF,F$ck them all in Nigerian dirty politics.
BTW.are the schools free or at least affordable to the average student.
Anyways impressive.it beats the lagos version.

ewet: Are you kidding me, are this really public schools or private schools?

Okija_juju:

Madam.. The traffic situation in Rivers State is a nightmare no doubt, but lets still give him credit for road construction abeg!

Shoooo!! The man no be winch..

The roads to be fixed in Rivers State are just too darn much.. Hurricane Amaechi is about to enter Npkogu-Trans-Amadi - Slaughter Road, Same Hurricane is also about to enter Woji - YKC - Esate road.. Same Hurricane just passed Opkoro Road, Smae just passed Npkogu village road..

Abeg the man has tried seriously.. So much is still left, but I will say kudos to him.. If not, by now, PH would be experiancing way way way worse traffic than it presently is.


AND on the Monorail matter, I'm a serious believer.. That Project would blow the socks off of unbelievers and show Rivers people why we need that monorail in our lives..

ghost writer: How are u even sure that some of these
Buildings. Are not Govt. Offices
Una come dey show us say na skul

Sunny_bobo: Suddenly Amaechi, of the PDP party becomes a performing governor to Eko_ Ile.

Who said miracles don't happen?

Symphony007: my dear, these schools are free, not only that, the government provides kids with free uniform, free books,free sandal,bags, and even lunch...the launch of this schools are making private schools up their game because they are loosing buisness!

Eko Ile:



This is not about any political party and if that's the case, what about PDP apabio next door to Rivers? Is there anything like what's in this thread in Akwa Ibom?

Akwa Ibom has the largest budget in Nigeria and even way way more than Rivers state, but after a few roads and the phoney e library, the place is still a village with nothing to show for the largest budget in Nigeria.


It's about the individual folks doing the right thing and I don't care what party they belong to, if the have something worthy to show, I show it with zero malice.

cooltone:
Lies against Amaechi like above is very shameful, okporo road is 80% complete even Ada George. Our only problem in terms of road in PHC is East West Road, my office is located there and the experience on that road is hell. GEJ should please allow Amaechi fix the road . Enough of politics on this issue, we are actually suffering.

Eko Ile:

What a bunch of scums..

Policewoman: O.K o, let me agree with you Okija. But last time I crossed that slaughter bridge I learnt it was shaking and in serious need of repairs. Something also needs to be done to that YKC/slaughter/woji axis. The traffic is killing. Ehen, that Iwofe road all the way to eagle cement and beyond, is it in Amaechi's plan at all?

thelastPope:

Yes they are public schools. They are the beautiful works of a [size=14pt]PDP[/size] governor! Clap! Clap!! Clap!!!

Policewoman: How complete is Okporo road? Pls lets be objective here. As for the East west road, I agree with you that the F.G should allow Rivers state to construct their own portion because truly, passing there is just a big nightmare. From tank, up to Eliozu bridge.

ewet:
Then hw abt all the other PDP govs are thy from a diff pary? My people hav this saying"olowo kan larin oto'shi mefa ki la ma pe gbob gbo won" meaning 1 rich man in the lidst of 6 poor men, what sshall we call all of them. They are all paupers.

3 govs performing amongst 23 govs,wht do we call the party tht produced them. Your guess is has good as mine.

domcarez:
shut the crap,am sure u r 4rm rivers state, do u knw ur pple in the rural areas are embarassed, only ph town and obiakpor lga are the only cities that can measure up to modern city standard, u r living in denial,tel urself the truth slowpoke

ballabriggs: Lagos has built far number of classroom blocks in the last few years. It is just there and we don't even look at it anymore.

If anyone knows the uncompleted buildings we call "Mudashiru" in most Lagos schools in those days. If you go round Lagos today you will not see any of those buildings, they have all been completed. Those buildings were left abandoned since Gbolahan Mudasiru's time in the mid 1980s. Fashola came in with the State Schools rehabilitation project and they are all completed today.

But like I always argue, Lagos is highly constrained by the surge in it's population. Places like Ikorodu and Ibeju were local fishing towns before have been taking over by the rising urban population. Most of the schools in those rural areas were planned for the farming population but today people are migrating in large numbers to those places and there is a huge pressure on resources and services in those areas.

thelastPope:

Lies and more lies! Most people in Lagos put their children in private schools. There is no huge pressure in resources. Just an excuse for failure. There is no public school within 4 miles from my house....Liars like Liar Mohammed!

thelastPope:

Go and tell that to the trees!...

Is it not the same Almajiri governors that aint performing much that you people want to out source your presidential ticket to? Funny clowns like you lot...

ballabriggs: Lagos has built far number of classroom blocks in the last few years. It is just there and we don't even look at it anymore. From Ikeja High School, Ransome Kuti, to Ewutuntu, to Gbaja girls, how many do you even want to list.

You had better come join the progressive train. The PDP one you are on is not in anyway progressive nd its leading you no where other than destruction.
