ogb5: Can you enlighten us on how Danjuma became a billionaire.

Was he born into billions or he invented something that generated billions.

Oh I forgot, he received a gift of an oilfield which he sold off for 500 million dollars. How many straight forward people in Nigeria receives oilfields as gifts.

Gbawe: ha ha ha. The GEJ sycophants do not have the mouth to talk or the nerve to show face here because even they know the shocking neglect of the Police force by their messiah who maintains his 10-strong Presidential air fleet with N18 billion while a paltry N11 billion is voted to equip nearly 0.5 million men and women of our NPF.

Throughout Nigeria, the tale is the same and one of an underpaid, under-equipped, ill-trained and poorly motivated police Force too morinund to fight crime. Thank god for conscientious Governors like Fashola, Amosun et al who assume the duties of the FG towards the NPF rather than watch their states ruined by the callousness, ineptitude and corruption of the centre. No wonder Akpabio's wife is living in Lagos with her family and totally disinterested in living it large as first lady of Akwa Ibom.

agbameta:


2. Regardless of where he used to call home, he is now the governor of a state, he is the chief law enforcement officer of a state, he presides over security votes and budgets in his state so he should be able to provide a safe heaven in his own state for his own family and his wife shouldn't be raising safety concerns in a state where her own husband is the governor and also prefer to live in another state and not the state where her own husband is the governor?

3. Regarding the above, why trust another state and another governor/Fashola with your precious family's safety and well being and not your own so called transformed environment?


Omo, keep quiet and confine yourself to your Uyo thread with silly random pictures of everything in that village..

Hezron Lorraine: Let's be factual.GEJ is the best president/Head of state Nigeria has ever had since inceptions.he's achieved far more than his predecessors.The problem now is,he is the most criticised,he is working,but now the eyes of Nigerians are opened widely and their demands are very high.once unable to deliver them,he falls prey to their boxing gloves.

Times past,everyone was stay at home change will come one day,but this has changed.everyone is now following the trend of things and demanding accountability and transparency of everything going on as per the nations development.

But,Nigerians have grown past the stage of do this to 'Kowaje'-that is,no development can be done to woo us this time.Nigerians have seen better and demand better,That's where Jonathan hasn't been able to deliver,we no longer want things working,we want them working fully well to the envy of the world

Now the President is standing out Unclad in the political wilderness protected by a roadside barking dog called Asari Dokubo and a voluble feasting associate adopted as a makeshift godfather who has no political base whatsoever – Edwin Clark.

Ngwakwe: Do you know that Buhari used decree and his foot soldiers to order price reduction of foods, daily needs and fast moving goods in our retail shops in Aba without mandating price reduction from the Supply source and middlemen thereby killing off the poor and the independent middle class?

Buhari was selective in dispensing justice during his regime.

Buhari never had any respect to human dignity by how he mandated his foot soldiers to debase and rough handle Nigerians during his regime.

Buhari accepted to work with corrupt Abacha and was his partner in crime when he stated openly declared that Abacha was never corrupt.

Buhari is simply a political fraud in a democracy.

Ngwakwe: I don't gossip neither do I exchange words for the sake of increasing the number of my contributions in Nairaland.

I am very open and ever ready to change my views when convinced with superior argument.

Being in academic circle have already help me to accepting every credible fact against any long held opinion I may have had and cherished.

Ngwakwe: The Opinion Editor of this thread took time to expose Buhari's regime and his records.

I want you to write a rejoinder in defence of Buhari, let's discuss issues raised in the article without using tricks to change the subject.

Ngwakwe: Can you remember this famous quote and why Buhari made such comment to defend his partner in crime?




You may rant all you want, the truth remains that Buhari is a political fraud that needs to be exposed.

He is not compatible to democracy and will never synchronise with laid down rule of law by virtue of his military training coupled with extreme bias.

Akamu and Stew: I blame the Northerners for stealing our Oyel and using the money to build Lagos and Abuja....

agbameta: Having oil and collecting huge sums off oil proceeds amounts to little or nothing if you don't have skilled, dedicated and credible folks with good sense of duty and purpose.

Ngwakwe: [s]The article raised many salient points but rather than address them line upon line, the APC cheerleaders want to intimidate Nairaland community with their usual distractions.

Buhari is a democracy contraband and caricature to the ballot. If he is the only product APC can afford among many progressives in their camp then Nigeria is doomed.

The only reason he is able to command tangible follower-ship is his readiness to and previous call on Islamic sympathy and support.

Buhari is just opposite of what Mandela offered and stood for, an aberration to democracy and establishment of equality and rule of law.

Much waters have crossed under the bridge in Nigeria since independence and everybody may like to see justice but at this point in time, we need truth and reconciliation more than troubling many waters that have already settled their impurities.

Let keep Buhari out of our ballot by rejecting his candidature based on past antecedents that are harder to sell in democratic dispensation. APC should force PDP to buckle-up to say the lest or permanently put them in opposition's bench.[/s]

Osun State government has awarded and kicked-off a N2 billion full rehabilitation work of Ede Water Works, which supplies over 70 per cent of the water needs of the state.

The government has also set aside another N2.2 billion in the 2013 budget to replace obsolete pipes across the state.

Addressing a press conference signalling the commencement of the rehabilitation project, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Water Resources, Mrs Tawa Williams, said the rehabilitation work would be “wide-ranging and ultimately revamp the water works and transform it into what it was originally.” Upon full completion,the project will not only meet the water requirements of a great majority of citizens of the state, it will also present a scenic and environmental beauty, as well as a tourist attraction.She also said arrangements were also near completion for the Iraqi government, through its embassy in Nigeria, to complement the rehabilitation process with the ultimate plan of exporting badly needed treated bottled water to Iraq.

She emphasised that the Aregbesola administration was committing such a prodigious sum to water “to exterminate the challenge of water-borne diseases which arise essentially because of the absence of effective and efficient portable water. “We cannot be talking about sound health care delivery system without adequate water supply for the citizenry,” she said.

She said that the project, which would be completed within 12 months would raise the production capacity of the water works to close to 100 per cent from the present 30 per cent

She added that the government was in the process of procuring 100 water tankers that would be supplying water to various houses in the state as a bridging process before the completion of the water works and with a view to also frontally solving water needs in other areas of the state.

In the rehabilitation process, Williams said that two additional low-lift pump would be installed with twelve high-lift pump, while additional 1500KVA generator has now been provided for the low-lift station, just as 1000KVA generator has also been provided for the low-lift.
William further stated that there will be exhaustive repairs of four-unit clarifiers and other ancilliary equipment and rehabilitation of the 16 filter beds.

She added: “We are also supplying more dozing pumps and brand new Chlorinators with all pipe work meticulously rehabilitated.

“There will also be rejigging of all civil structure, beautification of the environment and regeneration of the staff quarters to elevate staff morale. The restructuring of the power generation system and the modernisation of the power sub-station will include the procurement of two additional transformer and procurement of 33KV outdoor switchgear system”, She said.

The Special Adviser reiterated that the government is on course in its strategy to ensure that every resident in the state enjoy access to potable water supply.

With a view to ensure the sutainability of the investment being made by the government on potable water supply, William appealed to citizens of the state to partner with the government by paying their water rates promptly to sustain government’s water initiatives.

homesteady: LOL!! You haven't answered the question he asked you! Do you enjoy public water supply in your house??

UYCO: When the righteous are in power, the people rejoice. Uduaghan transformation agenda is working. God bless the architect of modern Delta State

Goddex: [s]See, ewu don't even go there. Don't even attempt to talk about water supply because this is another area Fashola has failed flat on his belly except you do not have knowledge of what municipal water schemes should look like. Taking pictures of painted tanks to post on newspaper and Internet is the height of deception and propaganda we are talking about. Let us be practical, where do you live in Lagos? Do you enjoy public water supply in your house?[/s]

ujoinme: [s]

Eko Ole sorry Eko ile AKA Agbameta since you changed your username/moniker i thought that you had turned a new leaf , but Obviously your obsession with Akpabio is still on going.
All you do is run with your mouth based of rumors. Where did you confirm that Akpabio has relocated his family to Lagos? you are quoting a line off a biased newspaper article as you source? clowns like you need your head examined.

Akpabio prior to his appointment as a commissioner in the Administration of Gov. Attah had been a lagos state resident and still maintained a home in lagos even as a gov. as most people in Nigeria do.
This is not because of what lagos state govt. has done but what lagos state represent ie the commercial capital of Nigeria and a former capital of the nation.

when you want to start your usual rant borne out of your hatred and tribalism traits, come out plain and state it as you usually do and do not try to be stealth for your activities viz a viz doing the biding of your pay masters ACN/APC is well known on this site.

if you thought that your identity was hidden. think again for a goat can never turn into a wolf.

Unfortunately for you no amount of propaganda can change the facts on ground Akpabio is a better gov. than all your APC gov. combined and Nigerians know this[/s].

scopusng: we have seen a lot of development in many PDP controlled states like Akwa-Ibom, the PDP spokesman said.

karl max: [s]don't mind these AC.N\ APC bigots they think anybody that supports gej is ibo or from the south south they would be shocked come 2015. Just like in ondo where their party came 3rd. They would feel the brunt of aligning with those that served in the regime that was responsible for the cancellation of the june 12 election. They think all yorubas are fools. They can continue putting their head deep in their so called leaders ass as long as they like.their deception is failling them as each day passes.. If their paymaster tinubu really care about the SW how come since the inception of his party AC to AC.N has never fielded a yoruba man for the presidential elections. but the demonized pdp has fielded one!! And they claim to have our intrest. When his party name was AC he fielded atiku as president who helped him form the party. Then when they were called ac.N they fielded nuhu ribadu and now that they are apc they would field another northerner.the question I have for those clowns are ,in whose interest is their paymaster working for? The yoruba race or our enemy?[/s]
