Now that we know that we lost direction.....Why is it now so hard to accept restructuring or at best divide this unholy union? Bubu came back and start telling us ''the unity of Nigeria is non negotiable" Story that we have heard for over 50years that lead us no where. I weep one more time for this Zoo republic and Animals leading us.

You must be dreaming if you think any president will agree to a diminishing of the powers of the President of Nigeria.

Obasanjo never agreed, Yaradua never considered it.

Even meek Jonathan who spent 5 yrs in the saddle was just playing mind games.

Ordinarily, when NASS separated the Attorney General from Minister for Justice and other constitutional amendments which is sequel to a gradual restructuring, GEJ vetoed it and sued them to the Supreme court.

He categorically stated that he vetoed the amendments because they seek to reduce the powers of the president.

Chadian army will finish Nigeria army anyday anytime with same weapon power...Just see how they helped wipe boko boys that time NA were running into Cameroon

War is won first by strategy. The NA army were initially confused by the guerilla tactics of boko haram. Moreover, they were also having command and control problems including low moral and internal sabotage.

Pls someone should help on how to change bank on the platform, very important

I have tried and tried since the 2nd week they started, tried to make calls, sent countless emails, searched the internet for any clue but was still unable. I had to go open a fresh account with a relative's details.

But don't get discouraged, that does not mean you may not find a way sha. Just keep putting pressure on your bank. Your bank may even find a way around it before you are able to change.

Tell the bank to ensure they pay the money using pay-direct. The caption on pay-direct is NCS EAuction participation fee.

saintjoel:

Lalasticlala do d needful. Abi u no get car? Or u don't go out to see d shameful state of our roads. Alfred rewane into Osborn to 3rd mainland from 4pm to 8pm is a no go area. Govt should come up with plans to ease her citizens life. If u close from work by 5pm, at least 6pm u should be at home, eat, rest and still have time to sleep with ur wife if need be. But with d current situation, when u close by 5pm get home by 9pm, u only eat and sleep. No time for wife and family.

Abeg you are right Oga. After person don drive for hours, which energy and time person wan use to make love?

After all the potholes have started making your body joints pain you on getting home, na too just eat and sleep and to hit hit Road again the next morning dey happen.

Before one knows it, Lagos potholes may start affecting marriages

Mynd44, OAM4J, lalasticlala we need this on the front page pls. It has to be given publicity.

Lagos inner roads and even some major roads are going seriously bad causing traffic and attendant huge loss of productive time and even vehicle damage.

SalamRushdie:
This seems like a post sponsored by the foaled Fashola himself , since I have been in Lagos I haven't seen a governor that has constructed or patched more road than Ambode the only problem I have noticed is that the continous use of that sham construction company is wasting good plans and taxpayers funds due to the poor nature of their constructions , A big city like Lagos needs the best construction companies to work and not a cut and join gang of cronies like Hitech Construction . The Governor also needs to look into the quality of work the office of Public Works is doing because they are really of poor quality and at times not well thought out ..Another place our amiable governor must look at is the ajah badore road which used to be one of the best roads in the state but when I passed there recently I was shocked at the rot caused by sand dredgers at that place ..Ambode has vision and that what matters in governance the most ..

You are not being truthful.

I equally supported Ambode, but that does not mean I should turn a blind eye to his failings.

During Fashola's regime, whenever there is a pothole or bad portion on a major road, I can authoritatively tell you from personal experience, that within a short time, you won't notice that particular pothole again.

Lagos State public works were very very active during Fashola. They seemed to have gone limbo now.

The same thing happened when Ambode came in, Lagos State Public Works did not do anything and all the roads started going bad and causing terrible traffic congestion. It was when people started complaining and abusing him that he mobilised them to start fixing the roads.

onegig:
Yeah sponsored posts. You would do well to keep quiet and kindly exit the thread.

Take a drive to Osborne - Ilubirin heading towards the 3rd Mainland and experience tyre ripping holes and gaps. That has been there for over a year now and nothing done about it.

Or take Marina towards the State house onwards Bonny Camp. A whole section of that road has completely failed and the other part riddled with potholes.

Or is it the underpass before the UBA house leading to Marina?

Or kindly take Ebutte Meta towards Herbert Macaulay Way Yaba and come back and respond to this post.

Or go to VI, Bar Beach bus stop to be precise and see how the road there has turned to a one way drive because of large craters on the road. If such could be happening in VI now imagine what would happen on the mainland. I purposely don't even drive through Apongbon at night even when it is the shortest route home because of the bad roads leading to severe traffic there giving pick pockets and thieves a filled day there.

The Road Maintenance team are the worst i have seen in years. Not even an effort to fix major roads. Lagos was celebrating 50 years of excellence painting and erecting useless monuments when basic infrastructure like roads were going extremely bad. i have had to change my back bushing and upper arms twice in the last 6 months due to bad roads. A colleague has had to buy 2 new tyres in the last one week both tearing apart from the sides due to bad roads.

I clearly think the Governor seems to be sleeping or LSWPC is headed by a dumb and deaf career politician that knows nothing about road maintenance.

Very apt and true. I frequent almost all the places you mentioned. The roads are indeed an eyesore.

I was in a terrible traffic one day from VI through Osborne, I even thought a vehicle broke down, only for me to get to front of that estate and discovered it was bad portions on the road that caused the traffic. I spent almost 4hrs to get to my destination that day.

Hypocrisy of Vanguard news paper

At the weekend, Trump failed to properly address the issue of the protesters, hence the business men advisers realized that Trump has demarketed them, if they continued to hold allegiance to him. Many started resigning, trust Trump, he changed it to disbanding the group.

More like boy friend and girlfriend relationship .
The girl tells the guy it's over, the comes back and say I broke up with her.

Vanguard the ipob wing has no holds barred for hypocrisy.
Their end is coming soon. See how Vanguard twisted the headline, whereas no one was sacked. This evil newspaper will go down, just as Biafra is a failed project

Vanguard is a very useless newspaper. I don't know yet if their agenda is just too drive traffic or to ensure the country goes up in flames.

Beautiful write-up.

Agbaletu:
Two state ministers!
Why can't they split the ministry into Power (stand-alone) and Work and Housing separate?

That ministry needs such.

This guy is actually making sense. But as usual, they won't read with an open mind, but will just be foaming in mouth and issuing abuses.

oganology33:
PHEDC surprisingly came to my area Rumuomasi, PH to install prepaid meters for FREE ( although we fine them small thing sha. 9ja).

Since the installation, we've had increased power of about 16-18 hrs. average and my preinstalled 25units is still on.

Heard 1kw is about 24naira which in my OP is still expensive. Since then I've not even thought of my AC. fridge is now on a need to cool basis.

BTW my bill was about 900k b4 the prepaid meter. useless PHEDC and their estimated billing system

1kwh for 24naira is not expensive.

If it was to be an APC governor that was holding cutlass and asking where PDP dey? I can imagine the comments I would read here.

The problem of this country is just hypocrisy.

drakeli:
They are talking about fully blown out war by the US in Iraq and Afghanistan that destabilized the whole countries and toppled their Russia allied government, you are talking of about just propaganda political disturbance caused by Russia in Georgia and Ukraine. It was not even a war in full sense of it.

US is the largest Chinas trade partner. The largest china export goes to the US. You think China is ready to risk losing that? If you are conversant with the news, china has said that it will maintain neutrality in case North Korea provokes an attack by firing missile at Guam a US territory near North Korea. Korea has been issuing rehetorics about attacking Guam. Trump is now saying let's wait and see if North Korea will live up to its words before US will unleash its military arsenals.

US is not threatening to attack North Korea until Korea threatened to fire missiles to US coastal region of Guam.

You will be surprised Russia and China will maintain neutrality in the case of US war with North Korea. No one wants to risk the event of of nuclear war with the other. The best they can do is to arm North Korea. That's all.

As per the highlighted part above, you are obviously not properly informed, and there is no point going the entire lane with you.

MyNewJackeT:
What did Russia do when America invaded Iraq and Afghanistan? And now Syria, what did Russia do when the west carried out a coup in Georgia they only responded during Ukraine, you really think China can stand a war with the US.

America has 7000 nuclear weapons while China has 200.

Now Australia says it will support the US if they ever need help just add that up, and last time I checked the British will follow the US.

Australia is a paper weight not worth mentioning.

When Russia invaded Ukraine what did US do?

When Russia intervened in Syria to destabilise US plans what did US do?

When Russia invaded Georgia and the Russian Black Sea Fleet blockaded the Georgian coast, what did the US do?? Except issue mundane rhetorics. Their usual talk talk on CNN and no action.

See, the Americans have grown soft, they are not ready to stomach a direct military confrontation with an enemy who has the capacity to strike back.

They have been behaving like bullies all this while, attacking and invading countries without the capacity to strike back.

The sole reason we have North Korea today is because of China. It was the Chinese army that assisted North Korea to drive back the US and South Korean forces that has already defeated the North Korean forces and almost pushed them into China.

China mobilised more than a million troops within the twinkle of an eye, to the surprise of US and South Korea and started pushing them back, reclaiming lost territories back to North Korea until the present 38th parallel was achieved and all parties dug into their present positions till this day!

As it happened during the Korean war, China will definitely enter the battle on the side of North Korea as failing to do that will mean the collapse of North Korea and Americans at their very border.

Countries only react when their strategic interests are threatened. China does not want US at her border, same with Russia that was why Russia reacted swiftly to Ukraine when US started getting over ambitious with them. China will do same here.

North Korea has the capacity to militarily strike strike back at US, it's bases in the region, and also it's allies in that region, that is why the US is back to its usual mouth mouth talk. They won't attack North Korea.

South Korea also does not have the mind to do the dirty job for the Americans. They have grown fat and successful and not ready to have Seoul which is very close to North Korea to be in ruins. North Korea has thousands of standby artillery directed at Seoul (South Korea), ready to start firing at any instant.

US has also not attacked Iran till date because it knows Iran also have some capabilities to strike US bases and allies in the middle East. And create serious oil crises.

Nuclear weapons are more of strategic weapons and not tactical. Although I know some nuclear weapons are designed as tactical and dubbed same, but nuclear power on the face value is mainly a strategic power. Why did the US not use them against China during the Korean war at a time China itself was not yet a nuclear power??

US is just making noise. North Korea as a nuclear power has come to stay, and all their talk is not going to change that. They are just talking for talking sake.

I'll be proud to hear that you were able to import your car all by yourself after you read this post.

ShyCypher:
Please, you didn't say anything about the shipping fees and other fees involved even if the vehicle is located close to the port. What are the estimates? The agent over there will not work for free na and the shipping will also not be free. Again, the RoRo or Container method should attract different fees, how much? Please respond... Thanks.

AutoJoshNG Why did you abandon your thread now? Answer the above enquiry pls. A lot of people will have one or two things to gain from the info, me inclusive

damysill:

You cleared it yourself? That sounds good. Please explain the process to me.

GAZZUZZ:
If you get it right from the start, and keep to periodic maintenence, vehicle will last for long time.

Ensure you go under and check for rust. Also run the vin for rust.

Thank you.

GAZZUZZ:
to the best of my knowledge those are just vehicle trims, the limited edition XLE is the extra luxury limited edition, LE luxyry edition, CE is the basic edition (cheapest you can get)

They should all have same powertrain (engine and transmission) but some would come in 4wd (not necessary if the terrain is good) others in Fwd

Wow, that was quick, thank you.

What about the question below pls?

I assumed Sienna would be a good rugged ride for this work, hope I'm right? Other suggestions would be much appreciated.

clean cheap 04 sienna at a give away price engine and gear sound only bumper and ac needs fixing

GAZZUZZ:
3mz engine mated with a 13pin gear is how much? Make unna fear God o

I am interested in Sienna 04/05/06. And would appreciate your candid advice.

I need it for my wife to do home runs and also supply her products at different places in Lag. May be doing once a month 10hrs trip fro and back to Lag to pick up products from factory outside Lag.

I assumed Sienna would be a good rugged ride for this work, hope I'm right? Other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Among the Sienna 04/05/06 there are many variants. CE,LE, XLE, XLE Limited. Please which one is the least problematic?

I actually like the XLE/Limited because of added functions. But if the price drives me away, may go for others. So pls share your professional opinion on the choice of Sienna and on the variants.

Thank you Boss.

Senators allegedly want Hope Uzodinma removed as Customs Committee Chair


By Samson Atekojo Usman on August 7, 2017

http://dailypost.ng/2017/08/07/senators-allegedly-want-hope-uzodinma-removed-customs-committee-chair/


Following alleged shocking discoveries in documents circulated recently which showed that Senator Hope Uzodinma owns substantial interest in NigerGlobal Engineering and Technical Company Limited, lawmakers have reportedly commenced agitation for his removal as Chairman of the Senate Joint committee on Customs, Excise & Tariff and Marine Transport.

DAILY POST reports that the lawmakers said his continued stay as Chairman of the joint committee may further ignite conflict of interests and cause the Senate a series of embarrassments as witnessed with his allegations of 282 missing vessels leveled against the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).

The Senate Joint committee, had on the 17th of July, 2017, held a public hearing where it accused the NPA of “failing to provide records of 282 vessels that berthed in its terminals between 2010 and 2016.”

But the NPA in a swift reaction to the allegation which was conveyed via a letter from its Managing Director on the 26th of July, 2017, contended that the allegation by the committee was not based on verifiable evidence, stating that there were no names of vessels; no dates of arrival; no rotation numbers and registration dates in respect of the vessels as required to enable the NPA investigate the matter.

However, after reviewing documents provided by the Committee, the agency discovered that: “of the 29 items handed over to the NPA on July 20, 2017, only five vessels were identifiable. ”

NPA maintained that it discovered that the other 24 items are repetitions of the five vessels that were identified. A report to this effect, with relevant supporting documents evidencing payment of all charges for the five vessels, is said to have been forwarded to the Senate Committee by the NPA as requested.

Clearly disappointed with the series of unfolding developments, some Senators who spoke on condition of anonymity said his removal by the Senate President as chairman of the committee would be in the interest of the upper chamber, as doing so would save the senate from further embarrassments.

One of the lawmakers said: “In all fairness, I think with all that we read in the media about Hope’s involvement in NigerGlobal and his lingering feud with the Managing Director of NPA, is enough to see to his immediate removal.”

“In saner climes, this sort of revelation alone ought to have made him resign chairmanship of the committee, because it is clear why his actions and utterances are always against the interest of NPA.”

“Besides, attempting to use the institution of the Senate to settle personal scores or have things work in your favour, or compel persons in authority to do percuniary biddings to me is completely unacceptable.”

“As an institution, we have always tackled the executive arm of government, that whenever one is found wanting in certain areas, such a person must be sacked or suspended pending the outcome of investigations. And we saw compliance to this in the events that led to the suspension of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal. Why then should ours (NASS) be any different?

“If documents have emerged that Uzodima’s actions are driven by his interests, then he cannot be said to be fair anymore. That places the Senate in an awkward position in terms of its image, and the right thing to do is for the Senate President to have him removed immediately.”

Recall that recent reports indicated that the feud between Senator Hope Uzodinma was stirred as a result of the refusal of the Nigeria Ports Authority to make further payments to NigerGlobal, a company in which the lawmaker owns substantial interest.

NPA had in the past expressed reservations about the Joint Venture contract with Niger-Global Engineering and Technical Company Limited with successive management board refusing to accede to demands for payment by the company.

The board of agency which has Hadiza Bala Usman as Managing Director, has also refused to accept liabilities in respect of the said agreements worth over N26 billion Naira.

In a letter to the Managing Director of the NPA by Martin Aguda & CO, a law firm representing the interest of Niger-Global Engineering and Technical Company Limited, the company is demanding the payment of the sum of $22, 065, 998.21 dollars in respect of the Calabar Ports Dredging Contract.

The company, it was further gathered, admitted receiving the sum of $12.5 million from the agency in 2015 without certificate of completion, a crucial requirement for compensation, in line with the Public Procurement Act.

The NPA, had in April 2017, presented an estimate of N234 billion Naira as its budget for the 2017 fiscal year for approval by the legislature.

Investigations by our correspondent revealed that several efforts were made to ‘insert’ the sum of N25 billion in the agency’s budget before passing it into law.

The sum, it was further gathered, is claim for works allegedly done by Messrs Niger-Global Engineering and Technical Company Limited in respect of the Joint Venture Contract it entered into with the NPA in 2015. Specifically, the company was awarded the Capital Maintenance Dredging Contract of the Calabar Channel valued at N26 billion Naira.

The development was said to have prompted Senator Uzodinma to declare war against the Managing Director of the NPA, Hadiza Bala Usman, who, according to our sources, is bent on having the budget passed without the N25 billion Naira new line items.

The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPE) had on March 3rd, 2015 directed the then Managing Director of the NPA, “to put on hold all matters relating to the Capital and Maintenance Dredging of Calabar Channel” until the matter was discussed with the President”.

Subsequently, in a memo to former President, Goodluck Jonathan in May 2015, the BPP drew the attention of the president to the unlawful practices that saw to the emergence of Niger-Global Engineering and Technical Company Limited as the preferred bidder for the contract for the dredging activity at the time the company and its JV partners, were said to have no legal personality to be so qualified.

Efforts by DAILY POST to reach out to Senator Hope Uzodinma did not yield results as he did not answer his calls and did not also respond to a text messages forwarded to him.
