Yes, we checked google and we saw that GEJ awarded the contract in 2011.

According to google, GEJ spent 6 years in office and collected N51 Trillion oil revenue and he still abandoned the project.

When you bring up the rubbish about GEJ starting this and that, you are not doing him any favors, you are actually indicting him, you are making him look bad.

Shameless people.

Meanwhile, Buhari seems determined to rack up N51 Trillion of DEBT...
At the rate he’s BORROWING, our grandkids will still be paying off his debt!

PigTormentor:
Sure some will still blame Buhari for the Ghanaian running away from Ghana.

Before, it was largely Mexicans crossing the border but their numbers have reduced due to the fact Mexico is far more richer now than it was decades ago and also the difficult of getting across. It's much tougher now than decades ago.

The people being caught now are nicknamed "OTM'", which stands for "Other Than Mexicans" . These are mostly from Central America and further down south. Central Americans are fleeing poverty and a murderous crime wave.

However, a Ghanaian is a funny way to see an OTM. He isn't Mexican so it is okay.

Mexicans are still coming in large numbers...
The difference now is that most are not doing so illegally because many of their relatives are now legal in the US.

Let us analyze the recent upsurge in dropping children.

!. When Trump was separating kids from their parents CNN called it CRUEL... Today these smugglers are DROPPING KIDS (without parental escort) CNN no dey talk anything. why? because THE LIE THAT "NA MY PIKIN BE THIS" has been unearthed.

Even Man united's Amad Diallo, its been proven his so called brother is not his blood brother and they actually paid their fake parents for papers lol

2. Unless they begin turning back KIDS by actually HOUSING them on MEXICAN Soil not US soil will solve this influx but DEMs need migrant votes,

Ekemeze:
although na old news.
but blame it on Biden. One his campaign promise was to welcome all immigrants. Such a clown

Kingcalls:
This is what Trump fought against...but the demonic Democrats no gree

You lot need to get over your idolatry of the fake-tanning White Supremacist Dotard...
The BEST thing that happened to the world in the pandemic-scarred 2020 is the defeat of that ignoramus!

I don't mind going through the same, africa is hell.

Unfortunately, the kid can still be ultimately deported...
The only difference with the Trump era is there will be a proper exclusion hearing first.

HONESTFACT101:
At what cost,why do African enjoy illegal here is a parent putting his kids at risk by doing something only refugees will do......signing out

But it’s NOT an African phenomenon...
In fact, this would be a RARE African occurrence.

Illegal migration by unaccompanied minors is a Latin and Central American thing...
Including these two sisters similarly dropped over the border wall a couple of weeks ago.

If Lagos state can find a way of doing away with the sea of agberos, abok.i nuisance, beggars and hawkers...not forgetting the activities of commercial bus and okada riders...then it will be on course to achieving it's TRUE potential.

If the government tries doing any of that, it will be criticized and attacked ceaselessly by the chattering class (including here on Nairaland)...

How many cities that claim to have 20 million plus people don’t have light rail?
Are you a citizen, a tribesman or an idiot when it comes to the provision of services, utilities, facilities and infrastructure maintenance by the local and state governments?
Which one of the three are you

Is Lagos not CURRENTLY building a light rail system...
It may be delayed, but why are you blathering on as if there are no plans for it?

Meanwhile, you could have easily made the point without the JUVENILE ad hominem insult. SMH

Nigerians have taken to social media to share their childhood stories with their parents and pastors.

A Nigerian Twitter user, Cheekah @Chika_Blairssen started it by sharing her 'deliverance' story when she was just 10. She was accused of being a witch just because of her big eyeballs. She wrote:

Other Nigerians reacted to Cheekah's story by sharing their own stories too.

Nonsense and Kano pillars

There’s DIGNITY in ALL honest labor!

thundafire:
even the Abuja stadium that was built with the same design from Japan/Korea 2002 W/cup was inflated to x2 the amount

It was NOT...
The contract sum of $360m was REASONABLE for a stadium of its size and specifications.

Furthermore, unlike these sorts of stadiums, the Abuja National Stadium was NOT just a football stadium...
Rather, it had other facilities like the velodrome, indoor sports hall, Olympic-size swimming complex, hockey stadium, tennis complex, etc.

The ONLY problem with the Abuja Stadium has been MAINTENANCE (or a lack thereof) - that age-old Nigerian shortcoming.

Dalil8:
Beautiful.

But qatar is really hot. Wonder how the players would cope with that.

Qatar 2022. I'll be there live and direct.

The stadiums will have cooling systems, fans will be transported between venues and hotels in air conditioned trams, trains and buses - and it will NOT be a “summer” World Cup. Instead, it will be played late in the year (Nov-Dec) when the weather will be relatively much cooler.

all thanks to PMB who's administration have given room for Nigerians to start building refineries if they choose to build. So leave dangote out of this

Which PMB?
Can he differentiate between refinery and distillery? SMH

Most (if not all) of these licenses PRECEDED PMB...
The Dangote, Waltersmith, Edo, Ogbelle refineries were all under Jonathan.

But there was no malice intent involved here.

Rozcol:
These are some of the challenges extremely beautiful women face: It can be hard to develop a personality when others are permanently keen to project a ready-made one onto one's features.

The beautiful are fated to be told who they are far more than they are encouraged to unearth interesting identities for themselves. The beautiful are seldom single for longer than a few months;its just too difficult to keep turning people down.

In bed the beautiful wonder 'is it me or is it my body they want? They want of course to be loved for the whole of who they are but their exterior is so affecting it. The very beautiful stand to discover that very interesting people who don't look so nice are terrified of approaching them,it can be puzzling to find that one has this effect.

The very beautiful are presumed to be stupid (Nigerian standard),people don't wait to find out,they like the idea of the beautiful being resolutely dim. People feel fortune has smiled on these beauties enough already,they surely don't need anything further,like kindness or understanding that's why the beautiful may be on the receiving end of some remarkable cruelty,their pains and sorrows are of no interest,their so-called insecurities attracts scorns,certain people may even feel they need actively to show these beauties that they are nothing special though they never claimed to be.

The beautiful face difficulties in making female friends just by being beautiful. People will assume things about you just because you are beautiful,you will be called promiscuous,stuck-up,arrogant,dumb and everything in between.

Anything you do will have to be thought through a million times because it will be misconstrued as sexual interest by males and antagonistic behavior by fellow women. No matter how accomplished you are,you will always be judged on the basis of your appearance which is probably the worst part of being beautiful.

Life is indeed difficult for extremely beautiful women and more difficult if you are academically sound(she use wetin she get collect wetin she no get).

These are some of the things extremely beautiful women face.

... And they allow those Basstard Terrorist called Book Haram and ISWAP to post all kind of barbaric and Evil things ! Encouraging evil and supporting terrorism against humanity ! This YouTube is another Terrorist Cult group

YouTube takes down (and shuts down) all terrorist posts as soon as it comes to their attention...
It may take them a while to become aware of it - just like Mr. Joshua’s - but once aware, action is swift.

But, nonetheless, why would Mr. Joshua and you self-righteous lot seek to keep company with so-called “Terrorist Cult Group”?!

Cancel culture is taking over most social media platforms, especially Facebook, IG and YouTube.

That’s like coming into a restaurant or club...
Starting a fight, and when thrown out, start bitching about “cancel culture”!

YouTube is a PRIVATE business....
It has the RIGHT not to allow people to use it’s platform to spread HATE and prejudice.

Neither you nor me nor Mr. Joshua have a right to YouTube...
If we elect not to abide by their rules, we can simply leave - and/or start his own platform.

petra1:
YouTube, Facebook, etc are gradually showing the face of who's behind them

Righteousness2:
If you wanna be on youtube to Preach the Raw Gospel of JESUS Christ, you need to be ready for so many things.

What they term as hate speech is Preaching the Raw Gospel and telling people to Deceit from Wickedness Abominations and Evil.

Youtube has become a den of the devil that strikes and sensors Raw Preachings of the Gospel anyhow.

YouTube is a PRIVATE business...
You don’t have any RIGHT to the platform.

If you don’t like the “face of who’s behind then”, then move on...
Why would you lot be struggling to use the so-called “den of the devil”?!

Amotolongbo:
YouTube has suspended popular Christian television channel, Emmanuel TV, owned by Pastor TB Joshua of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations.

Joshua disclosed this on his Facebook and Twitter accounts on Wednesday.

He said the channel was suspended over a video said to contain hate speech.

WELL DONE YOUTUBE....

Everyone doesn’t behave like Nigerians who will let people get away with culpable or reckless HOMICIDE...
Anyway, YouTube is a PRIVATE entity, and no one has a RIGHT to use the platform. Don’t like their rules, then BOUNCE!

Someone should please explain how bonds work

It’s simply another form of BORROWING money (DEBT)...

Eg, government (or a company) can issue a 7-year N100b bond, which is bought by investors (aka “bond holders”)..
During the 7 year term, the issuer (ie, the government or company) will pay interest (called a “coupon”) to the bond holders.

At the end of the 7 years (or Term), the Issuer will buy-back the bonds (called “Redemption”) for N100b (the “Principal” amount).
There can many different provisions (eg, “puts” or “calls”, among others), but the foregoing are the vanilla BASICS of bond issuance.
