Sakamaje:
OK. What exactly are the buildings meant for? Are those blocks of shops or something? Or is it a Cathedral because the Op didn't even say.

Kpom! My first reaction as well...

What’s new about Mobsters fighting over territory and loot...
If the project here is selfless public service, why would anyone be quarreling over cabinet seats?

mikejj:
well for me so long as it is humanity he is doing it for am OK.. they are human biengs too..I don't want to know whether it is in Nigeria or anywhere...nice one man

Kudos! Just as one is beginning to lose hope in the Nairaland mob...eh, I mean community...a comment like this comes along.

Without prejudice to partisan politics, are folks seriously arguing about the REALITY of grinding poverty in Kano (official rate of 76.4%)?

Sad to see standards/expectations so dreadfully LOW that a handful of dodgy bridges are being celebrated and accorded prominence over massive armies of grindingly poor uneducated/unhealthy Almajiris, who are frankly only slightly worse off than most of the general population.

ObaKlaz:
Though I perceive subtle accusations and covert indictment here (which I won't rebuff or refute), I'd rather agree that you've indeed made valid points. Thanks much!

No problem bro...

bettercreature:
Moghalu did not understand the lady very well,What she was saying is, Moghalu should have teamed up with Atiku to defeat the clown in power instead of creating another party to share the votes

Joining one jamoke to beat another jamoke only makes you a jamoke...

Excellent!

Please extend it to Lagos, where we have so much of the required “raw materials”!

addikt:
Lol...,NAIRALAND,why not your usual "CLEVAGE BEARING TRADITIONAL ATTIRE"...

ObaKlaz:
There are certain things that WILL NEVER get my attention. BBA and BBN are examples. I've never sat before my TV to watch those shows that will fucck up my IQ in the end. If not for social media, I bet I wouldn't know what BamBam, CC and the other dumbasses look like.

Personally, I do not watch BB or indeed any “reality” shows and frankly don’t know most of these reality ‘stars’....

However, I am humble (and intellectually confident) enough not to arrogate to myself the arbiter of good taste and intelligence. The abiding reality of life is that it is different strokes for different folks that makes this world such a diversely interesting place. Furthermore, we should always be quite happy for anyone that finds a way to earn an HONEST living in a very difficult and challenging environment, further recognizing that for everyone you see in front of a camera there are dozens of hardworking citizens earning an HONEST living (and supporting families) - from unskilled laborers, security, artisanal electricians, set builders, makeup artistes, etc., to professionals like sound and/or visual engineers, electrical engineers, set designers, marketers, suppliers, even lawyers, etc. After all, entertainment is an INDUSTRY by itself.

Kastonkastroll:
In a sane country, songs noise like the one froggy makes will only be restricted to the hearing of zoo animals.

But hey is Nigeria where everything goes.

Is it Nigeria that gave him BET and MTV awards? Or is it Nigeria that is blowing “Fall” on radio stations all across the US? Etc.

The girl might be bitter and heartbroken now...
But this could also just turn out to be the best thing for her. Clearly, this was not the dude for her.

candlewax:
she deserved it for turning down other guys advances all those years. I remember approaching girls then when I thought they were important, some always say they boyfriend, whenever a grin tells me that, I will always wish her a heartbreak from the boyfriend. Call me a sadist or whatever. I really don't care

Worse than a sadist, you sound like a petty-minded loser...

Poor roads are a problem in Nigeria...
But speeding on poor roads is an even BIGGER problem!

grandstar:
Such a gargantuan waste.

The private sector could have built on a PPP basis.

Jonathan fall hin hand. I'm sure the $500m spent so far is enough to complete the project but contract padding and so on escalated the cost.

We are still waiting for the private sector to bid for and build the proposed Lekki Airport for the last decade...

Meanwhile, just the 6-story parking garage built by the private sector (Seymour Aviation) in Lagos, and which was privately debt-financed by Fidelity Bank, was causing so much protest. Even the decision to concession (not sell) the 4 international terminals in Lagos, PH, Abuja and Kano, is raising do much furor among some Nigerians - and you think rational private investors would have raced to build these terminals?

Anyway, airport terminals are an expensive proposition and frankly $500 million for 5 international terminals is relatively reasonable, even though it seems a lot more is now being requested basically due to foolish poor planning. Ethiopia spent about $350m for just one new terminal, while Senegal spent about $700m on the new Dakar airport - that’s more than Nigeria spent on the 5 new terminals COMBINED!
.

NaijaRoyalty:
So what happened to the over $900million abacha looted money the Switzerland governement repatriated back to Nigeria between 2015 to 2018 ?

Vanished as usual

You think “re-election” happens by itself?

frowland:
Well, I for one will not like to stay in such an estate. An estate where the gatemen will be asking me questions like; am I born again? Who be that girl you carry? Why you dey go club? etc etc. Its a NO for me. Thanks but no thanks.

R2bees:
Imagine attacking men of God for a living.. He should get ready cos one day God will freeze his life.

Dude, everyone’s life will “freeze” someday...

yuanexchanger:
Freeze please stop this attack on men of God

gypsey:
Just for been hungry?, but some people would say, he should got a job if he was that desparate.

So it is better that he steal someone else’s chicken so that the person will become hungry?

The thing that gets me most about thieves is they often put so much time/invention into it that would make a success of honest work. SMH

Nigeria is often ZOO-like...
But that is NOT in Nigeria.

Lagos Island is a real MESS...

kaffyadeakeem:
me too tire oo.I rushed to the thread to see the career

Abegi, which “career”? And which “abroad” (Cotonou)?

Having said that, the wife, her ally and her husband all deserve to face the wrath of the law. Useless beings!

amaniro:
Tambuwal is a presidential material.

Our standards have fallen so LOW...
But if Buhari can be President, why not.

Olufela30:
After all these years, so Noble Igwe still doesn't av sense ??

Only sense to make money, no sense to think at all....

Better to have sense to make money than sense to drivel while broke on Nairaland...

“Democracy in action” indeed...SMH

Omololu2121:
what's my own with tinubu Is tinubu the governor of Lagos state If the Public Works Corporation is not doing there job well, who stopped him(ambode) from sacking their ogas and replacing them with other people that are ready to work? I remembered the way the people of ikorodu and mile12 do lament about a huge pot hole that is located after the mile12 bridge along the ikorodu expressway, people were spending hours on that axis because of that pot hole for more than 2 years people were wailing to ambode, the mumu did nothing until agbaje talked about fixing the pothole.

Tinubu is the so-called “leader” of the party that spearheaded Ambost’s removal for supposedly not following the so-called “masterplan”, after praising the roads and bridges built by the same Ambode for the better part of 3 years. The same party whose assembly members suddenly found fault with the Cleaner Lagos Initiative during the electioneering season after overwhelmingly (if not unanimously) passing the new Environmental Law that changed the remit of LAWMA and brought the CLI into fruition. The same party assembly members who started trying to impeach Ambode for not keeping the Bourdillon Bullion Vans full. Yeye dey smell - and intelligent folks know the anus it’s emanating from.

How can the orgy of violence in Kano be rationally described as an “election”?

2019elections:
In as much as this is very bad allegation, this has to be proven beyond doubt that the accused really committed the crime.

Students can lay crazy claims to get back to a so called "disciplinarian" ( teacher) if offended.

A case isn't won in court sympathy but facts.

I hope judgement is served accordingly.

Modified:

I can bet u some students can actually approach a teacher and offer such in demand for marks ( secondary school inclusive)

Back in 2014 when I got my first teaching job after my NYSC, I was 20 then. While in the chemistry lab, some ss3 students go de come de use hand de rub my body, mhen e no funny. Wetin man go do, these people de write waec den. I was very professional, I left chemistry lab to avoid likely set up, the principal kept pushing me back to d lab cos I was d only chemistry teacher. Principal no know as e de go. These girls got my number sha and I always avoid staying in d lab alone. When this people finally finished WAEC, na so them de report come my house one after d other.

The rest is history.

If a student approaches a teacher with offer of sex-for-grade, the teacher should immediately drag him/her to the Principal’s office...
The reason that many teachers will not report is because they’re actually interested. The Nigerian education sector is crawling with PERVERTS!

Omololu2121:
Why are some of you so foolish like this I made mention of the names of the roads and where they are located and this idiot they talk rubbish... Una just like causing trouble

Most of the roads in Ikeja GRA are nothing to write home about.

I will not be diving into the gutter of personal insults with you, because I was raised better...

Nonetheless, ask yourself why the same roads that Tinubu and company were had been praising for three years suddenly “degenerated” during the election season. Did Ambode stop the road maintenance crews of the Public Works Corporation from going out every day (or usually at night as they did for almost 3 years of his tenure) to fix potholes? Pitiful that some people cannot distinguish between rain and being peed on. SMH

Omololu2121:
I went to kola from lekki, the roads were terrible... So on my way back to ikorodu I decided to pass through agege to Ikeja so I can pass through Lagos Ibadan expressway... Almost all the roads in agege were in terrible conditions.

Then I asked myself, which road this ambode don dey construct gan gan except for the ones in epe

Suddenly, the roads that even Tinubu was commissioning and they were all praising Ambode for has become “terrible”? SMH

Every remotely-intelligent person understood what happened in the Lagos APC. It’s called “real politik” and we get it. In Lagos that means doing Dabole for the Jagaban and keeping those Bourdillon Bullion Vans full and busy, but please folks should quit trying to insult our collective intelligence with obtuse drivel as if this had anything to do with the welfare of ordinary citizens. When elephants shyte, the grass stinks.

Okeyc230:
Plesde finish oshodi project fast fast

Is there money in it for the Bullion Boss?
