maybe after reading this, you will know that 90% of southwesterns hate incompetency:

CITING some recent observations said to
indicate the nation’s economy is in crisis, the
Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG) yesterday
warned that if urgent and honest steps are
not taken to arrest the apparent drift, the
country may find itself in serious economic
depression capable of crippling national
development.
In a statement yesterday, the Yoruba socio-
cultural association said there were fresh
signs that removed any doubt as to crisis in
economy. According to the group, in recent
times, the Federal Government, in the face of
dwindling oil revenue, has been scurrying for
funds.
It said besides realising its bloated
governance structure, the government has
suddenly remembered that many of its
agencies are not remitting revenue to its
coffers. The group pointed at what it
described as allowance impasse in the
country’s national team, Super Eagles, at
recent international events as one of the
indicators of a troubled country. The football
team was said to have arrived at the venue of
their last Cup of Nations match just hours
before the match. The same was said to have
happened when they faced Tahiti at the
Confederation Cup and it took a presidential
intervention to resolve the impasse.
The Federal Government, Afenifere recalled,
has not also been able to meet its financial
obligations. Commissioners for Finance were
said to have walked out on the Minister of
State for Finance recently over unpaid arrears.
“We cannot even imagine what this portends
for many states that depend on federal
allocation to meet financial exigencies”, the
group stated.
A few weeks ago, the Minister of Finance, Mrs.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, disclosed that the
country’s foreign debt stood at US$6.67
billion.
Afenifere, however, pointed out that the
ministry curiously forgot to tell taxpayers the
current status of the nation’s domestic debt,
which she said, was $42.23 billion in August
2011. “We feared she intentionally left out this
detail as the value may be shocking”, it said.
The strongest of these signs, as far as
Afenifere is concerned, is the revelation that
came a few days ago, purportedly from the
Finance Minister that the nation’s economy is
in doldrums while addressing the meeting of
15-member Economic Implementation Team.
According to Afenifere, Okonjo-Iweala’s recent
heated demand for passage of amended
budget, without which she said the economy
would collapse by October, is therefore, not
surprising after allegedly admitting behind
closed doors that the multi-billion naira
contract awarded to Niger Delta former
militants to guard petroleum pipes has not
paid off. “If anything, the country now records
worse cases of crude oil theft, which have
seen the country losing,” Afenifere said.
“In fact, we may be witnessing the most
profligate administration in Nigeria’s history
under President Jonathan and the abetting
National Assembly that has refused to carry
out people’s oriented agenda. This is why we
have always said this governance structure
that allows for profligacy and unmitigated
corruption must be pulled down to pave way
for a Sovereign National Conference, which we
are confident, will bring about efficient and
transparent management of the country’s
resources.
“And we dare say that the time is now
because we would not stand by and watch
Jonathan’s administration drag all of us into
bankruptcy. Finance Minister reportedly
complained that NNPC has refused to be
accountable to the nation, what more portrays
ineptitude?”
The group, therefore, called on Nigerians to
“join us in demanding the restructuring of the
current system, so that the people can live
good, healthy and productive lives, in a
country where no man is oppressed.”

anonimi: Maybe Fashola should invest himself in rehabilitating the many PUBLIC dilapidated secondary schools and ENCOURAGE the chairmen of the LGAs who are all under ACN to also rehabilitate primary schools.
Same goes for state and LGA feeder roads.

Person wey never finish im own assignment dey do longer throat for another person work.
All because of toll gate money and NOT because of the residents welfare.
Haba!!!
Dat wan na real olojukokoro.
Maybe the man nor hear say:



Greed and avarice nor good sam, sam!!!

I know you will appear here. Fashola said the same thing for the APAPA/OSHODI expressway for the hand over. Ikorodu road was handed over to LASG, since then there's been a smooth ride on the road. I hate dirty politics

The worst so far in the history of Nigeria without a civil war. even the state of emergency will curb it for a while before springing up again. its just a relief or short measure.

austinkenneth: He and Tinubu wanted to make money off the road by tolling and at the same time be calling the govt bad names.

They simply want to profiteer. I dont know why people find it difficult to understand.

All of you that are supporting tolls. I wonder what you'll say if the FG does the road and tolls it.

maybe you are ignorant about the said road. At present, FG is collecting tolls despite being in a deplorable condition.

Sincere 9gerian: Why Lagos airport road is not rehabilitated— Fashola

Tuesday, 12 February 2013 00:00 BusinessDay

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has blamed government’s failure to either rehabilitate or reconstruct the road leading.....



It seems the vultures have now resorted to regurgitating very STALE reports. That report was done in February but we are now in July. We are now in JULY!!!

you don't need this rather you should tell your boss not to play dirty politics with the development of infrastructures in any part of Nigeria because we are still far behind.

sleekdot: Very few roads are more important than that road

Also the road leading to Apapa port which the irresponsible FG led by Retardeen Jonathan abandoned

FG makes trillions of naira from both the seaport and airport but failed to maintain and rehabilitate these two important roads. It's shows these people are not serious at all. can you imagine Barack Obama flagging off road construction in the USA but our president did that. playing dirty politics with the office of the president.

austinkenneth: Why is Fashola so obsessed with tolling?

because that's the way to go and the future. even currently FG is collecting tolls at the airport despite being in a deteriorate and deplorable state.

solomon111: Nonsense.
There are thousands of state roads that needs fixing.
FG will repair the airport road by themselves.
*cheap blackmailers*

yes I agree with you but the international airport road is an eyesore and a disgrace not only to Lagosians but to all Nigerians. do you know how many people and passengers that ply that route? Its the only viable gateway to Nigeria via Air route.

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has blamed government’s failure to either rehabilitate or reconstruct the road leading to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Ikeja, on politics.
Speaking at an interactive session with media executives and top editors late Friday, in Lagos, Fashola noted that the issue had been politicised, adding: ‘’all sorts of things are going on.”
The governor regretted his decision not to modernise the 4.2 km road when the idea first struck him, recalling that his plan was to expand the road, provide service lanes and introduce tolls for motorists who opted to use the fast lanes.
Fashola said that his administration worked on more than 190 roads in the state in 2012, while another 100 roads would receive the desired attention this year. According to him, Lagosians want him to concentrate more on developing the state’s roads to ease traffic flow. He noted that in all that his administration had done to rehabilitate and reconstruct roads in the state, including the expansion of the Lagos/ Badagry Expressway; it had not confiscated any single approved building. He challenged any landlord, who had lost his property to the state government as a result of the ongoing road construction, to come forward with the necessary evidence to back up such a claim, adding that rather, the state had paid compensation.
“Bring the proof that we unlawfully took your property,’’ Fashola said, stressing, however, that the owners of illegal buildings had no legal rights. He recalled that in the Ejigbo axis, the government even constructed two bridges. instead of one, to avoid demolishing many buildings that were most probably illegal. On the newly rebuilt Tejuosho market in Surulere, Fashola dismissed complaints that the owners of the burnt stalls could not afford them under the new dispensation, noting that many of them had already done so.
He said that many of the traders had been able to pay for the stalls through installments, adding that the state government was even the one holding them back.
The governor urged the development of the mortgage system in the country, adding that there was the need for Nigerians to imbibe the habit of acquiring facilities, including housing, through instalmental payment.
On the recurring complaints about the fate of Maroko residents, a slum settlement in Lagos that was sacked by Raji Rasaki, a former military administrator in July, 1990, Fashola said the story was ‘’more fiction now than fact.’’

Nigeria recorded 3600 deaths in over 400 bomb explosions in the last three years.
This statistics is from the Nigeria Police anti-bomb unit, according to a United Kingdom based organization known as Action on Armed Violence (AOAV).
The organisation said the over 400 bomb explosions occurred in different locations of the
country but more frequently in the north-west
zone between 2010 and May 2013.
'According to the Nigeria Police Forces' Anti-bomb squad, over 400 bomb explosions have shaken Nigeria in the last three years with an estimated more than 3600 people recorded by human rights groups who lost their lives in the process between 2010 and May 2013,' the AOAV said.
North-Central Coordinator of the body, Elizabeth Jeiyol, expressed hope that the revelation contained in the organization's interim report
titled 'Mapping Efforts Against Violence in Nigeria' would help to contain armed violence and ensure better livelihoods for all especially the vulnerable-women and children. Jeiyol also informed that between 2008 and 2010 the Nigerian Police Force recorded 887 cases of kidnapping and piracy across the country just as sectarian violence in the North Western part of the country had claimed over 1500 casualties between 2011 and 2012. Earlier, a Senior Security aide to the Benue state government, Samuel Kande said that the government is concerned about the preservation of lives and properties of its citizen and would therefore make all efforts to stop proliferations or arms and weapons in the state.
Similarly, AOVA's country representative, Julia
Knittel intimated that her organization was in
Nigeria to gather data for other donor agencies
who are also interested on working against armed violence in the world.

anonimi: What is it with ACN and their affinity to LIES




As propaganda and hypocrisy is no longer enough na so una dey add lie, lie join am.
Na wa for una ph!

Eko Atlantic was only telling you that Awolowo had paid the price and sacrificed for us to know the importance of education to the people of southwest earlier before any ethnic group. so we dnt need any yeye free education at the tertiary level which can't be sustained with the current arrangement in Nigeria unless we go back to regional govt.

Ekiti ACN rift: Mind your business, ACN tells
PDP

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has said
the PDP verstepped its bounds by criticising, in
the crudest of language for which it is now
notorious, the decision of the party’s (ACN’s)
leadership to settle the rift between Gov.
Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti and a member of the
house of Representatives from the state, Mr.
Opeyemi Bamidele.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the party wondered why the PDP,
beset with a humongous crisis of its own
making, would use the time
it doesn’t have to dabble into what is strictly the
internal affairs of the ACN, an issue that has no
bearing on governance at the national level
where the PDP has been bumbling.
It said the ACN leadership has no regrets for
saying Gov. Fayemi should be allowed to go for
a second term because he has performed well,
adding that a student who does well deserves
promotion.
”This is unlike the situation in the PDP where
even a President who has failed woefully, using
his own lowered ‘marking scheme’, is being
offered an automatic ticket! ACN rewards
excellence, not indolence, and we have no
apologies for this,” the party said, asking when
Mr. Bamidele appointed the PDP as his
defender.
ACN wondered why the PDP leadership has been
gallivanting from one zone to another trying to
reconcile its ever-warring members, if indeed
the ruling party believes that other parties have
no right to do the same.
”It seems, however, that what has irked the PDP
is that where its own reconciliation efforts have
failed woefully, because they were insincere,
ACN’s have succeeded, due largely to the
discipline in the party and the sincerity of its
efforts. After all, we don’t go around suspending
or destroying our best performers in the name
of ’reconciliation’.” it said.
ACN advised the PDP’s Acting National Publicity
Secretary, Tony Okeke, to learn the elementary
lessons of being a party spokesman,
which includes that you don’t just make
comments unless their are compelling reasons
to do so.
”We have noticed the enthusiasm of the new
spokesman, which is good, especially since he
wants to impress his masters so they can keep
him on the job. But he needs tutelage and
mentoring so that he can carry out his duties
effectively. So far, he has not availed himself
creditably,” the party said.

Timehin: Which yeye godfather and for whom You mean autocratic 'self acclaimed' progressives and naija politicians who doesn't give a hoot about the masses but their cronies and interests

Anyway, am proud to be from ondo state cos we choose our leaders. We don't believe in any godfather but trust God the Father!

how many of you are from Ondo? simply because Ondo is being led by another opposition, you are all yoruba. no qualms, help me tell tomakint, anonimi and all your other yoruba wanabes to reduce the false and their propaganda.

Rossikk: Thanks for that figure CFC. By the time the MMA remodelling PLUS the new terminal are completed, we're talking of the best airport in West/Central/East Africa by a mile. A real hub for international traffic.

I like your optimism, but never exaggerate your points. who knows there are might be people to quote you when it eventually completed.
I learnt the lekki airport will take that position when completed.

plaindealer: Lagos state's IGR is N20 Billion and not N30 Billion.

N30 Billion is what they end up with after adding the N10 Billion monthly allocation.

How do you even make valid points with flawed and bogus facts.?

Who compares Lagos with a state like Akwa ibom? The number of school kids in Lagos is probably same with the entire population of Akwa Ibom and yet even with less money than Akwa Ibom, Lagos state still managed to build new schools and invest more in education that akwa ibom where the governor is yet to build one single school.

Abeg, leave that mediocre who doesnt know what he or she was saying. falsehood is in their DNA.

dolphinife: oga, you are day-dreaming if you dnt knw. I was inside the Kano airport on February 7th, 2013 from 7am - 7.30pm....dat means from the morning till evening and it was on wednesday.

When i got to kano airport aboard arik from Lagos, i was astonished to see only tarmac with no aeroplane parked. what was on ground were KABO, MAX and IRS aeroplanes which were borrowed to do re-certification for this year hajj.

i took off from the airport to the airforce base, to ashton road and there to the town. Kano is now a joke of the century cos Boko haram has wrecked havoc to the city. The hotel i was lodge in was empty and it got to a stage i was afraid cos nobody was patronising anything and the shops were closed.

coming back to the airport, according to Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria(FAAN), The first five airports in Nigeria are ranked bellow.... Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Akwa Ibom, Kano and Borno. At no time was Kano airport so busy more than abuja and lagos.....i has never happened in history.

I agree that Kano is a commercial centre, but majority of people going to kano ply the road and rail system

They can only fool few people but not everybody. Tell them, its called mediocrity!

I love the competency of Fashola. He is a good administrator. he's the best leader from the current crop of leaders we have in this country. Anything he does always world class. Thank you sir!

ITbomb: It is a highway Sir, not a city street.
Here is an example of a highway in ur 21st Century Countries.

so because its a highway, it doesnt need streetlights? you probably showed one of few highways in abroad. check lekki-epe expressway

anonimi: What exactly are you blabbing about
Does Fashola not collect N30 billion monthly as IGR from all these "movement in and out of Lagos"?
Did you hear that Akwa Ibom, under PDP's Akpabio gives free and COMPULSORY education to ALL children in the state irrespective of whether they are indigenes or not?
Did Awolowo, Jakande and the other UPN governors DISCRIMINATE against non-idigenes when they gave free education 60 & 30 years ago respectively?
Is children's education at primary, vocational and secondary level in the "exclusive list of the constitution" to be "under GEJ power"?
Now, who is suffering from "illiteracy, ignorance and intellectual blindness"
If Fashola is clueless about providing adequate education for Lagos children he should follow Pope Benedict'e example- QUIT!!!

Am sorry, you need to stop all this nonsense you are spewing. Lagos Govt. provides free education for all except at the tertiary schools. same goes to all southwest states. so you except Fashola to provide free education to over 4million kids in Lagos? you must be joking. the 40 billion naira monthly allocation and IGR are being used to build standard infrastructures, pay salaries of the largest civil servants in Nigeria after the FG and also being used to maintain infrastructures.

Emmadani: As in,i no just undastand some nigerians,if GEJ ad abandoned d kano airport,pple wil complain dat he has not done anytin.,.,but now GEJ has renovated d kano airport,pple ar stil complaining dat kano dnt nid an airport dat GEJ is just wastin money.As in,wat do nigerians really want?because u av an airport in ur area does'nt mean dat pple in oda areas dnt deserve their own airport?.Wtf...!But y pple dey get bad belle like dis?And most of dis negative pple are d fashola/apc addict.Smh.Is dis how u pple want 9ja to grow?By condemin d work done in anoda region dat is not ur own.,sumtimz one wil av to rethink weda most of d problem in 9ja is as a result of d govt OR d main citizens itself.

what am saying its that if you as a leader what to build or construct any infrastructure, we should go for world class not this village infrastructure. period!

anonimi: You obviously forgot about 10 million children out of school and MISPLACED PRIORITY when you wrote just two days ago on the thread that Fashola BEGINS Lekki airport and seaport:



Can we conclude that your sympathy for the out-of-school children is FAKE
Can we go further and use your analogy to say GEJ should be a subject to be study (sic) in Nigerian universities for COMPLETING the rehabilitation of many airports in the country
SMH!!!

I know when it comes to celebrate mediocrity. you re one of a few here. kano airport is a disgrace not fit to be called local airport not to talk of international. the only world class local airport in Nigeria is MMA2 built by Obasanjo even the so called remodelled GAT in Lagos cannot withstand it.

dabrake: as in, original big-time 'ewwwww'. what the Bleep is that? An airport? more like a mosque.

am telling you, these villagers are celebrating mediocrity. can u just imagine people of this age making noise over mosque-like airport and even called it world class? even the jetty built by Fashola is better than this village airport not to talk about MMA 2.

CHESSBOARD: Ediota, how can the project commence during OBJ's regime when your thiefing Yoruba brothers , Ajibolade Babalola and Femi kayode that were Aviation ministers were stealing all the money encouraged by OBJ....at the same time crashing planes.

yes under babalola as the them minister, few aircrafts crashed but during FFK, there were no way aircraft could crash cos he stepped up the regulations n rules. under him, the only world class local airport was commissioned MMA2.

GboyegaD: There are more infrastructures begging for attention than airports that can't boast of 50 in/out bound flights weekly. Why not fix the roads which most of us ply on rather than airport that we rarely do? Its all for them to ease their flying plans and stuffs.

don't mind those mediocre. we don't have to be wasting funds on low-class infrastructures such as this. what we need is to build world class schools, hospitals, roads, airports, water works, jetty, etc and to do these, PPP is the answer suchas what Olusegun Obasanjo did here:

The Federal Government of Nigeria has
embarked on a process of reforms in the
aviation sector including, transferring the
responsibility for the development, financing,
management and operations of Nigerian
airports to the private sector.
In 2003, Bi-Courtney Limited, was awarded the
concession of the Federal Government of
Nigeria to develop, finance, manage and
operate the Lagos Airport Terminal 2 (and
ancillary assets) under a Build-Operate-Transfer
(‘BOT’) arrangement. This is the first major BOT
project in Nigeria.

bigtt76: @OP Nice one ....Laptop number pls? We need ro know how many power gen sets were installed there. I think a more stable electricity would impact more people than these.

you people should stop celebrating low class residential-like building airport for goodness sake.

here's a local airport built and concessioned by Olusegun Obasanjo

solomon111: I know you must think you've said something smart.
Where were you when your mates were applying for the YOUWIN loan scheme?
So you are telling me that refurbishing our airports to world class standards is a waste of funds?
Na wa o.

I don't why you lots like to ridicule Nigeria by showing us residential-like building airport in this century. And you called this world class? you can't fool everyone.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has stated in her
interview to one Abuja's radio station that
the federal government "may not be able to
pay workers' salary by October," should the
national assembly fails to amend the content
of the 2013 appropriation budget.

Nigeria's Minister of finance and coordinating
minister of the economy said thus: "It come to a
point where some amendment has to be made
and that's why Mr president sent this
amendment to the national assembly. I think
we can continue a little longer and at some
point we need the amendment to pass, because
come September or October, we may not be
able to pay salary.
"We have been talking with various committees
and the leadership in a collegial way trying to
see how we can fix this problem. But one
specific example that is critical is the salary and
between now and October, we will need about
N32 billion."

Speaking on the current state of Nigerian
economy, the Minister tried to refute the
reports that the country is broke, stating that
Nigeria's economy is "strong but currently
experiencing some cash flow hiccups".
"We have been very open about it. I always
believe in telling Nigerians about what the
situation is all about with regards to the budget,
with regards to the economy. Nigerian economy
is fundamentally strong but within a strong
economy, you can experience a cash flow
problem. Outside agents regard us as
fundamentally strong. Now the issue is we are
experiencing short term problem," she
disclosed.

It would be recalled that President Goodluck
Jonathan has re-submitted the 2013 budget to
the national assembly for amendment with a
reported slashing of about N56 billion to the
earlier rejected budget amount by House of
representatives last week.

Lagos State Commissioner for Works and
Infrastructure, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, has
assured residents of Igando and Ayobo that
government would provide a modern bridge
that would link them with other communities.
Hamzat gave the promise in a statement
signed by the Head of Press and Public
Relations, Mr Biola Fagunwa, which was made
available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
in Lagos, at the weekend.
He said that government was alive to its
responsibilities and would, as a matter of
policy, ensure inter-connectivity of
communities.
“We have undertaken the Okota-Itire link
bridge. We are working on Ajao-Ejigbo Bridge.
“Even the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge is to address the
issue of communal linkage and reduction in
travel time across the state,” he said.
Hamzat said that the Igando-Ayobo situation
was not peculiar, adding that no comparison
should be drawn in terms of the situation of
the bridge.
The commissioner said that government was
constrained by funds and has to prioritise
road projects in order of their needs.
He explained that the traffic, population,
and economic importance of roads and
bridges and the expected impact of the
projects were some of the parameters used in
considering project prioritising.
Hamzat stated that the insinuations that the
government infrastructural development did
not favour the poor were wrong.
He explained that Alimosho area alone
enjoyed over 19 per cent of the total road
projects portfolio of the state since the
inception of the Fashola-led administration.
“With the number of road projects skewed in
favour of the non-elite communities, the
impacts are felt appropriately,” he said.
Hamzat reiterated the administration’s
commitment to deliver the Ayobo-Ipaja Road
this month.

The people of Ogun State can commence
cashless transactions.
Skye Bank , at the weekend, kicked off phase
two of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN,
cashless policy in Ogun State .
The Bank Regional Manager for the State, Femi
Fatunmbi, made this known during an
enlightenment television programme in
Abeokuta, the state capital.
He highlighted the advantages inherent in the
new policy and urged Nigerians to embrace it,
just as he added that similar operation has
commenced in four other states which include:
Anambra, Abia, Rivers, Kano and the Federal
Capital Territory.
The policy is coming barely a year after it was
kicked off in Lagos in April, 2012 .
The policy emphasises less cash movement in
business transactions with the CBN limiting the
amount of money that an individual could
receive through any bank’s counter in the
country.
Mr. Fatunmbi commended the CBN for the
introduction of the policy which he said would
assist and raise the standard of Nigeria’s
economy as well as individuals and corporate
bodies.
‘’I urged Nigerians to embrace it as it is not only
convenient, but it is safe and secured. As an
individual and corporate body, you stand a
better chance of doing your business without
the risk of being attacked by hoodlums,” he
said.
He said that the new policy would not only
recapture the money in the informal sector but
also enhance the ability of the banks to grant
credits to its numerous customers.
Mr. Fatunbi said his bank had deployed many
solutions in its various branches across the
country to ensuring the success of the policy
and patronage of its customers.
He listed some of the alternative channels to
include skye pay platform, online transaction,
automated teller machine, (ATM), point of sale
machine (POS), flit cash, a transaction which
allows a customer to transfer money to a third
party’s account without using cash.
The bank which received commendation from
the CBN for a seamless roll out in Lagos also
revealed that the new policy would assist the
apex bank in reducing the money it spent on
cash management, especially in destroying
mutilated notes in the country.
