I actually knew Engineer Williams personally (which was one of the reasons that the roads around my house were resurfaced in 1987).

Interesting to learn that...
Was obviously before my time, but our parents’ generation revered him.

Eteka1:
Building still looks modern. Those guys really tried back then.

It was comprehensively renovated/rebuilt by Fashola...
But you are right because the basic design remains the same.

naptu2:
It was a joint project. I've often written about Alhaji Femi Okunnu's role in the project, but he was not a governor of Lagos, so I couldn't have written about him in that post.

By the way, did you read Brigadier Johnson's interview on the first page (about how the idea of the Ring Road was concieved)?

Ok...
Also do not forget the contributions of Funsho Williams.

FrLukas:
Sane military? What's the business of the military with governance of a nation?

Nigeria has never had a sane military, even till now.

Well, tells you how much of a sad commentary on Nigeria that most of the things that work today in this country was from the military rule...

naptu2:
It's a quote from a post that I made on November 5th, 2014. Ambode could not have been listed because the 2015 elections had not even been held.

Click on my name in that quote to see the full (much longer) post.

Good post, but abegi Mobolaji Johnson (although an achiever) cannot take credit for Eko Bridge, TMB or the ring roads...
Lagos was then the federal capital, and another great Lagosian Femi Okunnu takes primary credit as Fed Works Commissioner.

princemillla:
Very cool...we need more to decongest Lagos. also to bring development to other 'states. May be Lagos population go reduce small

Exactly how would this “decongest” Lagos?
If a foreigner is going to do business in Lagos or Ogun state, she would fly to Kano and then drive to Lagos?
>

OlujobaSamuel:
Nice one but why are they all having same design, those that did the design no try o, Enugu, Lagos and Kano, they should have been creative with it

The new international terminals were designed by some connected local firm based in Abuja. Very DULL basic designs...smh
>

olu77:
Looks nice at the moment. I will be back for the 5 years challenge.

adenigga:
Our maintenance culture 0%

It’s planned to be concessioned to private operators...
Same as the Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt terminals.

>
Thank you Jonathan and Buhari....

However, the Lagos terminal, which is the BUSIEST airport, remains uncompleted.

RIP...
A real officer and gentleman.

What's with the churlish obsession over her age? Is she playing for the Golden Eaglets?

Anyway, people are NOT homogenous and age differently, but she does look her stated age.

litaninja:
He did what?
That guy sent lagos state to the pits of hell.

BEST 1-term Governor ever in Nigeria...

Meanwhile BSO is just taking pictures up-and-own...
I pray he quickly grows into the job, because we Lagosians cannot afford failure.

BlueRayDick:
He has done well. Let Óbasa go and explain how the budget that had the purchase of the 820 buses clearly stated was approved by the house and the house is suddenly claiming they never approved the purchase of the buses.

They should stop wasting time on frivolous issues. They should start holding the current governor accountable

Abegi don't mind those Bourdillon lapdogs...

olumide2019:
thank God for money tiwa no fine at all

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
But you have to get into the same building to behold her.

BrutusOj:
This is their new format now, sing rubbish and introduce stupid dance step along, before you say jack...lagos agberos and idle Nigerians will dance along and make the music trend by force.

While your own "format" is to come to NL and wail about it...
>

joepepsy:
New dance!! No light, no water, no any social amenities, don't worry xenophobia part 2 will soon kickoff, mumu people make una no go pretest for better life, dey follow tiwa wey no get direct value to the economy.

When Nigeria's "lazy yoots" were electing the Lifeless One, what did they think would happen?
Abegi let us enjoy following Tiwa, her music relieves blood pressure and CREATES JOBS FOR NIGERIANS!
>

Netanya:
Companies are flowing out of this country like water, but all what these celebrities can think of is dance, DANCE

Are they the ones that are supposed to be keeping companies in Nigeria?
At least they are CREATING JOBS IN NIGERIA FOR NIGERIANS and generating income.

magicminister:
I hate the way a lot of Nigerians think.

What he did was extremely unprofessional and can almost be defined as stalking. Even if he felt a great connection with a paying customer, he should have asked her if she’s fine with him texting her later in the day and asked her to write her number down. Using her data in such a manner to satisfy his personal desire is a huge breach of trust

Now, his ego is hurt and he feels that the girl is looking down on him because her response was unanticipated.

Contacting her in the first place was rude. He was the first one to cross the line.
The girl was nice and courteous and he misread that to be a “green light”.
If the girl was rude and snobbish, people like you would still accuse her of being “pompous”.

There’s nothing wrong with shooting your shot but there’s a time and place for everything and even if you must shoot your shot, politely say

“hey, this was a very short trip and I really enjoyed our conversation. It would be awesome if we exchange numbers, assuming you’re fine with that and I wouldn’t be offended if you say no, just that I’ve been doing this for a while and come across a lot of people but never really had any meaningful conversation with them”.

That way, the girl will have a choice to accept the shot or deny. You can’t inject yourself into someone’s life and call it shooting your shot!

etrange:
Why are you guys not condemning the Chibuzor idiot who took advantage of his kind of job to harass his client? Such lack of professionalism. There's nothing wrong in wooing a girl but this one is violation of privacy. Why didn't he tell her how he felt before they parted ways and ask if he could call or text her later?

Why do we guys see the these dirty things and support them in the name of guy support for guys? How do we expect the society to be better with this unbecoming attitude? Imagine if it was a lady that did this, we would all be shouting "olosho", "destiny killer", "LovePeddler", "useless" and other unprintable things. Now it's a guy, it's suddenly right. Some are still blaming the lady who's clearly the victim here. Imagine the FTC guy read the entire thing and all he could do was to find a way to insult the lady.

Y'all are just ridiculous.

abbey621:
Nigerians and unprofessional behaviors! You are working, the rider is a paying customer, HOW DARE YOU USE HER PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WAY! In a sane country, he would not only be fired but could face possible lawsuits/jail time, this rubbish has to STOP!

BLESS YOU ALL!!!!
There's still some decency and hope left in Nigeria!

drips8:
The bolt driver has terrible taste in women.

NyenwePHC:
Am sure if the guy had cruised in an expensive ride like G-boys does she wouldn't even dare talk in such a condescending manner, she might even be thinking of how to outwit her bf just to spend the night with the nigga. Stupid bitcches everywhere.

dotuna3:
correct guy. He proof say he go school. To be sincere, that he do taxify driver no mean her present boy friend is doing better than him or she should look less on him. From the guy conversation, address and construction he can’t be less than her boy friend standard. She should just give him audience not till you see a man with big Benz before she lower her shoulder, las las Benz guy will use her for rituals why not cool your self down for a guy in legit business . From the way she responded to this guy am sure if the guy is someone that works with shell and have a good position she won’t answer him that way. Why not play same card even though you know you won’t have anything to do with him

Wuzyurdaddy:
Most Nigerian girls need reorientation

Jestin:
What wrong has the driver done? Mumu girl

AK481:
There is nothing wrong with what the guy did.

The girl is stupid for bringing this to the public.

She has to put her bf and her picture as screen saver just to make the current boyfriend feel like she is secures for her.

I remember those days when my ex used to tell me how many boys chyked her and how she normally insulted them.for my mind I go say see this mumu after that I go increase her mileage by I km.

Nonsense.

chigoizie7:
Someone said that the bolt guy lacks taste in women.

And that’s true, he lack taste in quality women

Nothing epitomizes how DANGEROUS Nigeria is for young females than the many posts here approving the Bolt driver's UNPROFESSIONAL, CREEPY E-STALKING, AND ULTIMATE RUDE actions (or deeming it appropriate in any way).

Even if dude was so taken that he UNPROFESSIONALLY had to "shoot his shot", once the approach was unrequited and he discovered the feeling were not mutual, the PROPER reaction would be to apologize and not to start with the entitled "you think you are better..."

When many Nigerian men are rejected by would-be suitors, they DUMBLY think money...
But this story (and sadly many responses) just show how RUDE, CRUDE, CRASS and Entitled many Nigerian males can be! SMH

prince985:
She was wrong for sharing the whole chat when she could just block him

That's how Sex-for-Grades-lecturers remained unexposed for years....

She did the ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THING!
<

RealLordZeus:
This case dey somehow!
The guy behavior was not professional but na one place person go jam wife na!

To say the least...
In fact, CREEPY comes to mind.

If it's in the West....
Bolt would sanction or fire him!

It's ENTIRELY her prerogative...
Why does she have to settle for less than she wants or otherwise lower her standards?

It's her life and her PERSONAL preferences...
Nigerian men act as if women should be flattered by the attention of any man AT ALL. SMH
>

htweet:
She should answer the simply question: is she better than him?

It's an IRRELEVANT question...
She is NOT interested. Simple.

That should be enough...
Women do NOT have justify themselves to STRANGE men!

Legionx:
You know a school environment where all the girls prefer to walk half naked in bum shorts showing their legs, thighs and leaving nothing to imagination.

I'm trying to keep my focus but it's not easy. Lots of girls say I'm handsome and too serious... Those words make me think I can get a girl without stress

But

I'm trying to achieve my goals but the sexual urge sometimes makes my head dizzy....

I'm not broke, I got a medium size gen, TV, GOtv and all that... Which is probably why the ladies are showing interest...

How can I forge ahead when all I see is ass, laps and thighs whenever I step out...

Hope you are not planning on going abroad...
Because you sound like a prime sexual assault. candidate.
>

Rednaxelot:
You can drop out of school and open a barbing shop, since you have got gen, TV, GOtv. Ladies won’t come patronizing, but men. With that, there won’t be sexual urge which will disturb you from achieving your goals and no head dizzy.

Anuofia.

Perfect response!
POST OF THE YEAR!!!

Foxman19:
Federal government should invest in tourism first .

Fix the country FOR NIGERIANS IN NIGERIA (security, electricity, water, roads, rail, etc)...
And tourists will come on their own accord, without the government having to "invest in tourism".

TissuePaper:
What would one expect, afterall isn't that all they have to offer.

This is the only thing an average Nigerian lady thinks about...dumb hoes

The usual Nigerian male Misogynist!

She's an award-winning international artiste, who owns her own house and small business, and raises her own kid...
Her craft provides jobs and livelihoods for many Nigerians - producers, audio, visual and electrical engineers, marketers, designers, suppliers, artisans, security, managers, lawyers, laborers, logistics, builders, etc. AND SHE HAS BACHELOR'S AND MASTER'S DEGREES!!!

Go face your own life and struggles! SMH

While we should all condemn the illegal dumping of refuse (assuming a proper alternative exists)...
The people who should have arrested are those who collect taxes and yet leave a "street" (if you can call it that) in the following condition.!

OgogoroFreak:
This Sanwo man is far better than that Ambode. We did well by booting him out.

As a Lagosian, I pray that BSO comes good (even great)....
But tbh the only ones seeing improved fortunes in his 200 days thus far are the OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS!
