It pains everyone the land grabbing by that tin god, it always is the elephant not in the room that has to covertly be mentioned

obyback:

Thanks naptu2 for the job well done. I know how difficult it is to do these updates

shosky1794:


But this one was not grabbed by anyone. The state govt have the intention of converting it to a medical park(or whatever they call it) but work on that has been very slow. So the land still belongs to the Lagos State government

naptu2:
I forgot to explain Jimi Disu's comments about the nursing school.

When Jimi Disu asked Jimi Agbaje the question about the nursing school on Sunday, I said that it was one of his favourite topics. I listened to his show in 2014/2015 when he interviewed Akinwunmi Ambode and the nursing school was one of the issues with which he tackled Ambode.


The Lagos State Nursing School was on Awolowo Road for many decades. The complex is almost opposite Creek Hospital (military hospital) and it is just before the ramp that takes you to Ring Road Bridge (on your way to 3rd Mainland Bridge).

However, the school was moved to Igando c2012 and
the complex in Ikoyi has been abandoned. The walls are covered in dust and weeds are growing in the premises.


There is a rumour that Bola Tinubu bought over the complex from the Lagos State Government and it is that rumour that annoys Jimi Disu very much. He often challenges APC candidates that they should explain what has happened to the complex and none has given a satisfactory answer.

Jimi Disu said that the nursing school was built at that location because it is close to the General Hospital Lagos, the Island Maternity Hospital and the Massey Street Children's Hospital and this makes it easy for student nurses to get practical experience. He is angry that the school was moved to a far place like Igando.


However, on the other hand, I've also heard a different story.

I remember that Bola Tinubu fell ill when he was governor and he had to go to the United States for treatment. Many people criticised him for going abroad for treatment. When he returned he said that he was working towards establishing a hospital in Lagos that would be like the hospital in which he was treated.


He later came up with the idea of a medical park (the Obasanjo led federal government also had a similar idea). The idea was that Nigeria had many medical doctors that were practicing abroad. These doctors were among the best in their field. Therefore, the government would provide infrastructure (land, electricity, etc) for these doctors to come back to Nigeria and set up practices where the major ailments that were afflicting Nigerians would be treated.


Basically, it would be like a large park where surgeons, dentists and other Nigerian medical professionals that are based abroad would be able to practice for a few months every year. This would reduce the need to go abroad.

It was initially proposed that the park would be in Lekki, but it was later decided (during the Fashola era) that it should be at the nursing school complex. There are billboards on the walls of the nursing school that advertise the medical park idea.

However, the complex has been abandoned since c2012 and its decrepit state is annoying a lot of Lagosians.

Legislation etcetera that makes it criminal not to provide accessibilites in public places etcetera would have been more convincing, dont you think. Nobody gets properly grilled by Disu, its always padi-padi, chuckle chuckle smiling chit chat with him
Sanwo-Olu has just admitted that "Uncle" Jimi has been so nice to him.... can you believe that
I've heard enough, already late stepping out and work is calling

Mrtesso:
Naptu2, thanks for this written concise rendition of today's program with Mr Disu. U didn't miss a thing.


Now, my question for u is this; Do u believe any of the things they just said and claimed they'll do?

Do u believe their eloquence in their speeches and responses resonate with their conscience and actual intention?

I'm asking for ur personal opinion. Do u have a modicum of faith in their words?

naptu2:

Jimi Disu suggests that Sanwoolu can appoint Agbaje into his government. Sanwoolu says that it's possible, but it will be in an advisory capacity.

naptu2:


Thank you.

dfrost:


Uncle naptu2, has he won already? That's too early in the day to start thinking of appointing JA or not.

naptu2:


Jimi Disu likes asking those kinds of questions (in a jocular manner) to see if he can trip up his guests. But to be fair to him, he used the word "if", but they were going so fast that I ommitted it.

shosky1794:

vengertime:
Ok

naptu2:


I will post a link to the recording once it becomes available.

Kaysalas:

Kindly do same for the fashola interview if you have it

MuttleyLaff:
I know that after you've now read naptuu2's rejoinder you are happy to retract your remark that this one was not grabbed. This man's greed is insatiable.

shosky1794:
Naptuu2 rejoinder didn't say anything different from what I said. The land still belongs to the Lagos State government. They are supposed to build a medical park on it and that has not changed. It's only when you see something else on that piece of land that you can start accusing anybody. For now, your accusations are baseless.

MuttleyLaff:
"There is a rumour that Bola Tinubu bought over the complex from the Lagos State Government and it is that rumour that annoys Jimi Disu very much. He often challenges APC candidates that they should explain what has happened to the complex and none has given a satisfactory answer."
- by naptuu2 today

Did you notice a difference in length all of a sudden with your nose?

shosky1794:
So your accusations are based on rumours. Even Jimi Disu himself got the information that the place is to be converted to medical park and there are different sign boards indicating this in the former nursing school.

OGHENAOGIE:
Jimi bias...u must high on weed...it's u who is bias...person wey invite agbaje and others too nawa

vengertime:
he's program is now boring, its not about who he invited or not.

OGHENAOGIE:
u want him to do ur bidding...wats is boring in his program...jst have an open mind simple...one tin I like about Jimi is his originality

vengertime:
very funny, putting originality next to Jimi Disu is an insult to the word originality
