this guy is a betrayal...

iampeterben:
With all the proposition and amendments twitter still carries their headquarters to Accra, Ghana. What a shame to the leaders of this nation.

melaniaup:
It's better this country return to regionalism or break up. Cause when you talk of South, there are different ethnic tribe in South and every of their top notch elite has their ethnic people.

Nobody is a slave to another ethnic tribe.

South West,

South East

And South South which has many ethnic tribe in them

So please for peace without much bloodshed or less progress let ambition be drop them.

JohnieWalker12:
Its what you sow that u would reap. Nigerian Government has failed all of us with no future for us and our generation unborn. Government make una enjoy the music

LexxoManny:
It all boils down to politicians stealing huge billions means for the redemption of the nation. Only a revolution can turn things around for the better in this hopeless country. Definitely not in our generation or the next to come so if you have the opportunity pack your bags and leave this shithole. YOLO!!

ivandragon:
This piece is dubiously written & seems to be an attempt to redirect the blame for the present scarcity of Nigerian passports to other sources rather than the fact that it is this present administration that is incompetent.

How can the contract be almost for life when it is clearly stated that it has been renewed about 3 times?

While it is good that Nigerian passports be produced locally, it is the dubious nature & poor planning culture of this administration that has led to scarcity of passports & not because of the existing contract.

STNL has a contract to produce about 6m passports & while the exact number of passports produced so far is debatable (about 4m+), the contract cannot be said to be unfavorable (except in the sense that we should produce passports locally) or for life.

This administration is piss-poor when it comes to planning & implementation but always prefers to blame others for its incompetence.

The solution is simple, allow the existing contract run its course or mandate STNL to produce the balance passports within a specific timeframe or payoff STNL for the balance of passports yet to be printed... How hard can it be?

No need for CRUDE ETHNIC BIGOTRY...
We Lagosians should be bigger than that.

Igbogbo phase one was completed under Fashola, but not phase two.
Meanwhile, Ambode completed phase 1 of the road and launched phase 2.

majamajic:
Ambode dragged Lagos back

Sanwo Olu is the main man that should have come Immediately after Fashola

I remember the igando housing scheme Fashola started it till 90% ambode left it till sanwo Olu completed it again , these are projects Ambode could have finished , I don't know his main reasons of abandoning them

Lagoon0:
Lol commissioning ambodes project? You're a joke.

What has sanwo-olu started and finish?

Tap0lane:
If I tell you all this project we're completed under Fashola you won't believe it but that is the truth I am from Ikorodu n I stay in Ajah. Completed housing such as this is still in Ajah n another. Lose to Igbo Efon just before Lekki that is yet to be commissioned they were all completed during Fashola era. That Ambode was a curse on Lagos n see Igbos support Ambode n foolish Yoruba also join them I just shake my head at the foolishness of such person.

I pray another visionary like Fashola will take over Lagos this Sanwo no get sense. Ambode I repeat was a curse every Lagosian should pray never to happen again.

agabusta:
This is another Housing project completed by Fashola, but left to rot by the cynical Ambode regime. Yet people like you still sing Ambode's praises daily.

We discussed same housing matter three months into Sanwo Olu's Admin when he commissioned the Housing project at Igando. Some people tried to ascribe it to Ambode until reports and pictures of the completed building during Fashola regime were dug up.

Politics asides, this is part of the reasons people following Lagos progress closely will never appreciate Ambode.

zillonnair:
Another Ambode project

plaindealer:
The last time Lagos state was commissioning projects every week was under Fashola.

Lagos State is finally back on track.


Sanwo Olu is on track to wear Fashola's shoes.

Redoil:
stop lieying to yourself it will do you no good
Ambode was hated for refusing to share Lagos money as always expected

Olofo, how much is Dangote refinery?
If dem dey deceive you, you sef suppose dey deceive urself?

Foolishbuhari:
What! I was grossly wrong. That's all shades of wrong for God's sakes! $15B! funded by the CBN!

Foolishbuhari:
Thieves! Even the Dangote 650,000 bpd refinery built at $2b plus is grossly over priced. It was used as front to steal and round trip dollars gotten cheaply from the CBN.

Dangote Refinery, a 650, 000 (bpd) integrated refinery and petrochemical facility is being constructed for about $15b.

Racoon:
FG revamping refineries with humongous amount that what Dangote used to build his new refinery? What kind of wickedness is this for goodness sake? See them new yam eaters them cashing out while bitterly complaining of cash crunch.God will punish all of una.Ndi ala!

Dangote Refinery, a 650, 000 (bpd) integrated refinery and petrochemical facility is being constructed for about $15b.

“With the approval of $1.5b to rehabilitate the refinery, one can still hope that the government is trying to enhance the value of Port Harcourt Refinery in readiness for either full privatisation, or outright sale,” Ajibola said.

favor914:
Lazy man the sooner you & your friends go & start your own small modular refinery the better, Dangote will only bring more foreign exchange to you & your country. 16 billion dollars investment is no joke, wasting time relating with poor minded people like you, is actually a waste of time.

favor914:
The one claiming it is a Yoruba that wrote the article, and The culprit that wrote the article, must everything have an ethnic undertone, now Dangote is a bad person, IBeto is a good businessman?

COMPAQ:
Benefits to the economy goes beyond the price of the final product. There are jobs created - direct and indirect, economic activity created, technollogy transfered, taxes paid etc

Also there are many factors that contribute to the factors of production and ultimately cost of a product. Nigerias inefficient economy doesn't help. There was a report recently that it costs $1000 to transport a container from China to Lagos, but to deliver same container from Apapa port to Ikeja ,transporters were charging N150k due to difficulty to move at the ports.

Agreed that the policies could be implemented better and it seems like the same names come up - Dangote,BUA etc, but they seem to be the only ones willing to take the risk and there are also benefits to the economy as I explained above.

Most Nigerian rich men like easier money. They prefer trading to manufacturing. Import for N50k, sell for N100k and no value added.

I can't take the risk they do, doing such huge business in Nigeria where everything is working against you, so if they also make huge profits for their risk, why should I complain.

tutudesz:
OBJ was the one who gave Dangote cement Monopoly and not Buhari

festacman:
Every government policy like Backward Intergration Programme (BIP) is supposed to have a document stating its SMART objectives, implementation guidelines, periodic review of journey so far, etc. If the government agency or NASS committee that is supposed to oversee and regulate BIP implementation decides to be inactive, beneficiary firms won't meet with their commitments as expected. Here the executive and parliament are both to be blamed for their failings.

KunleyY19:
When LASTMA was impounding vehicles some weeks ago an EndSars activist was calling LASG thieves. This Lagos na strong hand we need. That's why I miss BRF, law enforcement during his tenure was far better with heavier fines...

Deathissweet:
KNow this right. As far as Nigerian police will not benefit in the case. They won’t stress thereself.

madridguy:
During the era of Gov. Fashola, no one dares try nonsense but immediately Ambode took over, he scattered everything and the current governor his even burning everything.

Wish we can bring back Fashola.

BitmapStudios:
Thank you for the prompt and ever factual expository.
I had always thought Olusegun Obasanjo was a Lt. General. Thank you again.
Do you know why Olonisakin, the immediate past CDS was a Lt. General and never promoted to (a 4star) General? Was it more of political than the regimental oversight?

Buhari is referred to as Maj. General, do you know of any reason why he didn't promote himself to a full General (I mean, since he was the HOS)?

Thanks again sir.

MummyD2020:
Why must the north always have appointment s? Cant other tribes also have? Remember we have major tribes in Nigeria. Let the fulani be omitted for once abi na?

Bluffly:
Military and the economy was far more better under Abacha's regime. He suffered as a result of some killings.
