What ever happened to the bright project launched by Gov Donald Duke in 2007. Tinapa promised so much but delivered so little

With its futuristic film studios, luxury shops and elevated light railway, Tinapa should be a showcase of Nigerian dynamism, a commercial hub for West Africa raking in
millions of dollars.

But 10 years after it opened, the resort in southeast Nigeria is a ghost town and has become a symbol of monumental waste.
Its majestic contours and avant-garde domes rise defiantly out of the bush and palm trees.
At the entrance, a giant signboard proclaims: “Tinapa back on track!” But the few visitors who venture inside are quickly disillusioned.
Apart from a few idle employees, not a soul stirs in the endless aisles of shops and warehouses that should have made the capital of Cross River state, Calabar, famous
across Nigeria’s south. “It’s empty there, we have no clients, it’s like a cemetery,” said one shop assistant in Da Viva, which sells the popular brand of wrapper skirts. “Many have left already,” he added, pointing to shuttered premises.

A huge supermarket still displays clothes, furniture and foreign-made knick-knacks but in virtual darkness: the electricity was cut off some time ago. Inside, an old man snoozes in the suffocating heat. Tinapa, with its 80,000 square metres (861,000 square
feet) of warehouses and shops, cost $450 million (413 million euros) to build. But it has become a financial black hole for its backers.

– Economic development –
At the turn of the century, Nigeria was on the point of becoming Africa’s biggest economy and leading oil producer. Newly returned to civilian rule, everything seemed possible. A handful of businessmen and architects got together and imagined an international centre of commerce and tourism in a free-trade zone.

Nigeria’s biggest banks fell over themselves to finance the project, which was opened in 2007. “At that time, everyone was excited. Tinapa was going to boost economic development of the whole region and create thousands of jobs,” said Bassey Ndem, who was in charge of the project. It aimed to attract Nigerian millionaires, who ordinarily
jetted off to Dubai or London to go shopping, as well as make Cross River a commercial crossroads on the Atlantic coast.

A plush 242-room hotel with a view over the lagoon and a water park with slides were built to cater for the cream of high society and their families. Alongside luxury tourism, imported goods would provide for Nigeria and its neighbours such as Cameroon, Chad
and Niger, competing with the country’s commercial capital, Lagos. “Everything was going well at first,” said Ndem. “At the
peak, in 2009, we generated $30 million of revenue. But we faced a lot of resistance from the customs. “They really didn’t want the tax-free zone to work.

” Goods were supposed to be exempt from import duties in the free-trade zone. But from the beginning, the customs — which has a reputation for rampant corruption — blocked containers destined for Tinapa in the ports, paralysing business.

– Top down, trickle up –

Ndem left in 2012. None of his successors has managed to get Tinapa off the ground.
“There was clearly a lack of political will” to make the project succeed, he said, describing himself as angry and frustrated at a “wasted opportunity”.

For the economist and blogger Nonso Obikili, Tinapa’s downfall was largely because of a lack of existing infrastructure to transport goods: bad roads and an average-sized port.
“It was a wide project conceived with the deep sea port, which was supposed to enable big ships to come to Calabar,” said Obikili. “It was the responsibility of the federal government but finally it wasn’t done,” he told AFP.
In the end, no big name jeweller or pret-a -porter line wanted to invest in the paradise promised by its promoters and the hotel remains desperately empty.
The cinema studios have likewise been unable to attract Nollywood’s stars, who have largely preferred to stay in Lagos.
In “Looking for Transwonderland: Travels in Nigeria”, the British-Nigerian author Noo Saro-Wiwa castigates the leaders in the country of her birth.
Few of Nigeria’s nearly 190 million inhabitants have benefited from the riches brought by oil; most still live in extreme poverty. “This top-down approach to boosting Calabar’s economy seemed hollow,” she wrote. “I’d heard Nigerian politicians’ endless talk about theme parks, tourist resorts, shopping malls and their trickle down’ effects on the economy.

“But there’s no such thing as ‘trickle down’ in Nigeria — money trickles upwards or evaporates on contact with air,” Saro-Wiwa wrote in 2012.

THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board have remitted over N5 billion to the Federal Government’s coffers, the Board’s Head of Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin has said.
This even as he has warned that the Board would not condone any act of multiple registration in the ongoing registration for Direct Entry and Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME) for foreign centers.
Benjamin, who did not give details of the N5 billion returned to the coffers of the Federal Government, however, underscored the transparent and judicious utilisation of funds by the current JAMB leadership.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja, the Board’s spokesperson said: “Candidates are to note that multiple registrations is a serious offence in the process of obtaining the Board’s application form be it UTME or the DE currently on sale.
“Our advertisement for 2017 UTME clearly states the penalty for any candidate caught buying two firms. The public is requested to note that any candidate who indulges in double registration will be caught by our software and disqualified.
“This information is necessary for the public to know so that when such candidates are sanctioned it will not be understood.
“The Board is not interested in the candidate’s money as being insinuated by certain group who suggested to the Board that such registration will enhance the revenue base of the Board.
“No, we are more interested in the sanctity of the examination and not the money. If money is our concern we would not be returning over 5 billion to federal government coffers.
“This year, we have remitted back to government over 5 billion naira, the highest ever in the 40 years of the Board. This money was saved through the transparent and judicious use of resources.
“We call on other government agencies to emulate the Board in prudent management of resources so that much can be save, returned to government coffers to stimulate the economy out of the recession.
“Again, we urge candidates to disregard all information on admission especially cut-off marks being circulated on the net. No cut-off mark has been arrived at as this can only be done at a policy meeting which is at the moment yet to be conveyed.
“The policy meeting would kick-start the 2017 admission exercise with all mode, process and acceptable conditions for admission. Candidates should not allow themselves to be defrauded by Internet fraudsters.
“The Prof Oloyede led management is working round the clock to ensure a transparent, acceptable and fair admission process that is selection of candidates.
“It has design software known as CAPS, Central Admissions Processing System where human interference will be completely removed.
The admission criteria would be keyed into the software and it will select candidates blindly according to institutions requirement without any primordial consideration.
“Once you meet the requirements you are picked, you don’t need to know anybody. This will promote equity and fairness to all,” he said.
Benjamin noted that the mandate of the Board was to be fair to all irrespective of tribe, religion among others and that the Board is determined to meet the expectations of Nigerians.

The Dangote Group has raised alarm over a Ponzi scheme in circulation alleging partnership between the “Dangote brand, Nestle, PZ Cussons and other reputable food processing companies” in launching a multi-level marketing initiative that intends to “fight hunger, poverty and stop recession” by paying participants in food.

The group in a release said: “Contrary to the publication widely circulated on social media and mobile instant messaging application, the Dangote brand is neither the initiator nor a partner to the “Happy World Meal Gate” Ponzi scheme and strongly warns the public against participating in such malicious schemes aimed at defrauding un-suspecting participants of their hard earned money.”

Chief Corporate Communications Officer at Dangote Group, Mr Anthony Chiejina noted that: “The faceless entities behind the scheme have sought to achieve cheap legitimacy by associating themselves with the Dangote brand and other reputable multinationals and efforts are on-going to track and prosecute these for unlawful use of our brand name.”

“As it is with other Ponzi schemes, any pyramid recruitment scheme with all mathematical permutations always leads to a dire end for participants who end up losing money. He therefore advised the public to verify any information about the brand on its official website www.dangote.com.”

The type of systems u buy depends on the cash @ hand. If the school is a primary school where all what they teach are basic stuff, you can still get pentium 4 but if its a secondary school where they would be teaching programming and other advanced programs in ICT, then a dual core system is recommended. Like I said earlier, it all depends on the budget and school environment.

@op, it would be advisable if u clone your computers yourself i.e buy all the parts and fix them up yourself. I'm a computer engineer and I know this for a fact. It would cost you less. I can help u with this if u need help. Call or whatsapp 08026148081
