how expensive is it?

Enwhen:
Bro, I don't know , at first it was MTN, Chevron and mobile staffs there were using it, but presently some Lagos State govt officials are also using it, and I know it's not a public jetty... I use the one at Lekki to Ikoyi , Ikorodu, Apapa,

lewis512:
It’s opened to the executive public ; don’t just go there say you wan board if not order from above ... Public own dey Ajah,Lekki,Ikorodu,Apapa

LIE!LIE!!

Dude, it's a PUBLIC jetty used by hundreds of ordinary Lagosians...
Even if you did not previously know, you should have watched the video before commenting.

PS: The fare is N500 to any of the routes from there (up to Ikorodu).

Looks like BSO is serious about curbing the Nigerian culture of ANYHOWNESS, chaos and lawlessness in Lagos! WELL DONE!

The question is, with South Africa sliding to second position, healthcare and education are still free. Power supply is constant which is essential for industrialization.
However, in Nigeria the sort is different, even a thing as simple as given birth in the hospital requires that the family provide blood before the child will be delivered. Where have we gone wrong.

Money for fee education and healthcare does not come from Santa Claus...
You grow your economy to generate taxes/revenue to invest in infrastructure - if the politicians do not steal it (and citizens pay their taxes).

Which day una go transit from pain begin gain. Over 50 years una still dey pain...and the pain keeps increasing. Even countries when start after una don dey gain

Look at that country critically. In the 50+ years of its existence , apart from ebola eradication and maybe killing of twins, is there one problem you have successfully solved? Ill wait

It's CITIZENS who build countries, not "una" or Vice Versa...
Accordingly, instead of looking at "countries", I look at NIGERIANS themselves!

sucess001:
Either you don't know shit about the economy or your being mischievous. Nigerian economy was the biggest in Africa under Jonathan and even then its not an achievement. Economy is the interpersons economic activities.... The buying and selling we do forms part of the economy. So if u are rejoicing that the trade 200million people do is more than that done by 55million people, then you are delusional. We shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with south Africa on economic indices if the government is properly stimulating the economy

I was with you until you INCORRECTLY equated GDP to "trading"...
Trade is merely one component (less than one-third) of Nigeria's GDP.

Nigeria Finally Unseats South Africa As The Most Valuable Brand In Africa
By Andrew Christian December 10, 2019

For 9 years, South Africa has been blowing Nigeria – Africa’s largest economy – out of the water as the country with the most valuable brand in the continent. But things have changed as the West African country has taken over in 2019, per findings from the 2019 Nation Brands report by U.K-based Brand Finance.

The 2018 edition of the report valued South African brands at USD 207 Bn ahead of Nigeria’s USD 203 Bn. As S.A’s nation brand diminished by 7 percent the past year, that of Nigeria grew by 6 percent. Dwelling on the different of just a few billion dollars, the report did warn that South Africa risked being Africa’s most valued brand following years of mismanagement.

David Haigh, CEO of Brand Finance, said while South Africa remained the gateway to Africa for close to a decade, it faced an uphill battle.

“As South Africa struggles to recover from the turmoil of the Zuma years, its nation brand is also in danger of being overtaken by Nigeria, making it one to watch for years ahead,” Haigh wrote in the foreword of the 2018 report.

Last year, South Africa was the world’s 49th most valuable national brand, while Nigeria was the 50th. This year, Nigeria leaps 10 places and comes six places before South Africa, securing the 40th place on the ranking. Africa’s former most valuable national brand now occupies the 47th place on the report.

Egypt, up from the 54th position in last year, now sits in 49th position, making it the third most valuable nation brand in Africa. As fourth in line Algeria sits at 56th, thought it occupied the 58th position in the previous report. Morocco and Kenya were ranked at 64th and 66th respectively.

SOUTH AFRICA ENTERED RECESSION NOT THAT YOUR ECONOMY IMPROVED?

ACTUALLY THE PEOPLE LEAVING NIGERIA IS ACTUALLY THE PEOPLE STILL HOLDING YOUR ECONOMY THEY ARE SO LITTLE BUT THEY STILL PUMPING THE BLOOD IN YOUR ECONOMY BECAUSE ONE THING IS CERTAIN FOR SURE A SUDANESE MAN CAN'T RUN A VIABLE GOVERNMENT.... IT HAS NEVER HAPPEN AND CAN NEVER HAPPEN....

Acidosis:
More like celebrating South Africa's recent fall. [b]Our economy didn't improve, [/b]South Africa only slumped to another recession.

There's nothing to celebrate.

Nigeria's economy actually GREW...
But of course a RANKING by definition is a relationship to others.

Area4Area:
FYI, Nigeria's economic growth is accounted for by the oil and non-oil sectors.
If oil price and production increases the economic growth rate increases and if it goes down, growth rate reduces.

Tell us the price of a barrel of oil in January 2014 and January this year

Oil and gas is just about 7-8% of Nigeria's GDP...
Accordingly, Nigeria's GDP growth is NOT driven by oil.

However, Nigeria's economy is unduly affected by oil prices...
Because over 90% of forex and about 70% of FG revenue comes from oil.

Reality is that even diaspora remittances are more than oil earnings...
If Nigeria invests in its huge domestic market (infrastructure, etc.), it can build a great economy without oil.

You call stone rice giving people kidney stone lucrative? How is this an achievement. Nigeria is still in recession and govt dey brainwash as usual. Floating the economy to make it look good in the eyes of the media. Guy! Nor make me talk this nite. Quietly go to bed abeg.

Why don't YOU go and clean the rice up?
Isn't it people that do it in SA and the other countries you worship?

While you are busy wailing about problems...
Smart people see same as OPPORTUNITIES. Lazy Yoots!

Don't mention gaining Independence please. If South Africa is still being ruled by the white, they would be experiencing this backward situation now.

If whites have continued ruling Nigeria side 1960. . We would have galloped into advancements....

LOW SELF-ESTEEM RACIST RUBBISH!

The so-called "whites" are still ruling South Africa's stuttering economy...
While if you think Nigeria was "advancing" under colonial misrule, you need a real education! SMH

nuele:
1 dollar to 15.38 Rand
1 dollar to 365.50 Naira

1 Rand to 23.77 naira

Why are we being deceived, if our economy were that good, our currency won't go that way.

We don't need a soothsayer to tell us our economy is poor, infact extremely poor.

So you as a Nigerian investor, you want to buy a machine worth $1000 which would cost you 365,000 Naira compared to a South African investor who will paid 15,380 Rand.

Which of the two investors would be smiling?

People rejoicing at these "audio" economy should continue...

Bro, that's NOT how it works...
The Yen is about Y110 to 1USD, but Japan is a bigger (and richer) economy than South Africa.

However, a bigger economy is NOT synonymous with a richer one...
China has a bigger economy than Japan, but is much poorer measured by GDP per capita.

Nigeria has always been Africa's BIGGEST economy since 2014 (when the economy was rebased)...
Regardless of what ILLITERATE reporters often write. In addition, if we can fully capture Nigeria's informal sector, it would be even BIGGER!

The questions should be who retains water used to wash corpses...
And how can anyone just simply walk into the mortuary and do as they please?

That thing made me depressed. Nigeria is not backward — we are the word before backward. What is it? Ape-ward. Other African countries may be backward, but we're not qualified to be backward — that is way too advanced for us; we are an ape-ward nation

badman007:
Looool

I swear I feel you. Ape ward nation gave me such a big laugh. Dark stone ages App-ward nation.

The country has changed from the one I grew to love, such a shame...

The thing that makes me depressed is that citizens make a country and not vice versa...
Accordingly, if Nigeria is an "ape-ward" nation, it is because Nigerians themselves are "ape-ward"!

If you understood the meaning of the word restriction you wouldn't use the word to describe an outright ban.

Obviously you must be from another planet where trekking, increased traffic jams and increased unemployment with its attendant social vices (People SUFFERING) is viewed as a positive outcome. Talk about being inhumane! This is clearly a reflection of the kind of antisocial upbringing you had!

I will continue to ignore the childish personal attacks...
Again, it merely betrays the lack of a substantively meritorious argument and a crude personal upbringing.

Meanwhile, on the SUBSTANTIVE matter at hand...
How is a MASSIVE reduction in deaths (19 in the previous month and 201 the previous year) to just one be anything but POSITIVE?!

Perhaps you are an undertaker, but laws are made for the general population and thus it's a POSITIVE outcome...
Even ignoring the new buses/ferries, only people who are ALIVE can complain about trekking, and that's way BETTER than death SMH.

If she had known him like that, while still follow him around? Could that be Covetousness? And isn't that's what eventually leads to battering in relationship?

Quit if you can't cope or not interested, but greed won't allow them. Set awon Ole

You can continue to paint what's bad to be good.
The fact is: 'the truth remains the same even if no one believes it.'

No one in this life gives a gift without a motivating factor/reason behind it. You don't tell me you just do things. That's nothing but an hypocritical lie. Either you come to tell us you do it for God (a reason enough since you expect your reward from Him) or for some personal reasons.

This whole long story could have been avoided if the lady had informed the guy she can't settle with him earlier. I'm sure no African guy would take the risk of proposing if he wasn't confident enough of the relationship.

Beyond the gift sef, why still give him hope by going around with him when you have made up your mind?

I care less about the gender involved. My own concern is WE SHOULD ALWAYS ADDRESS THE ACTION THAT TRIGGERS A REACTION.

That's the problem we are facing in our society today. If one gets intimidated and react/ revenge, people that didn't warn the tormentor will be the first to condemn the one that was initially oppressed. Spitting all sort of defensive gibberish.

Abeg, I'm done with this bullshit

So you think that declining someone's marriage proposal is "tormenting" and "oppressive" conduct?!

Dude, if you're the sort of person that believes every woman MUST accept a marriage proposal (especially if the suitor had bought her lunch or given her gifts), then no rational argument put forward by anyone here will make a difference to you. Cheers.

Lagos does not have 37 LGA's

It's still 16 LCDAs out of 57 LCDAs and thus NOT a ban.

Foolishness. What's the job of government other than to regulate? Why can't Okada and kekes be regulated with all the Police, LASTMA, KAI, Road safety, and even Amotekun on the road?

If the insult is directed at me, I opt to ignore it...
Merely betrays a lack of substance and a crude personal upbringing.

Meanwhile, in respect of the SUBSTANTIVE matter at hand...
Restriction is part of regulation, and obviously it's had a POSITIVE outcome.
