I knew this was going to happen following the Acting President's visit to Lagos@50 celebration. Ambode would have informed him to help speed up the process.

I just hope the National assembly wont call for a stop of this directive like they have done to the National stadium.

An Igbo not in support of Biafra is an Afonja

You can check out the Part 1 here -> http://www.naijapodcast.com/podcasts/episode-10-ten-habits-highly-effective-people/

Hey my Naija Peeps, welcome to NaijaPodcast, this is one show that rekindles our spirit as a people and you are tuned in to the solo round.

Today you will be hanging around with me Opeyemi Philips and I will be bringing you the concluding part of 10 habits of highly effective people. Hope you enjoyed the first part and have been practicing them?

Recall that on episode 10 we talked about five habits that could change anybody’s life and that includes

Waking up early. Gratitude, daily goal settting, exercising and eating healthy breakfast.

Today I’m going to give you more five habits that has changed the lives of many people you admire out there and would change yours too.

Are you ready? I’m super pumped, so let’s do this Naija Peeps!`

Manage your time well. Time is the scarcest resource we have—I know it’s a cliché but it could not be truer. How well you manage your time will determine what you can achieve. I said in my first book, The “OBAMA” in You! That Accomplishment is the ultimate proof of time and that only comes when you manage your time well. You must find an effective way to manage your time. There are tons of time management resources on the internet to help you. Get rid of time wasters like surfing the internet with no clear cut purpose, wasting time on social media, needless phone calls, excessive watching of TV, idle talks and all those time wasters. It’s going to take some time for you to master time management techniques which you want to inculcate into your daily routine, but with a good use of your time, possibilities are endless and you can accomplish most of the things you set out to.

Learn a new thing! In our world today, the information age, you would be left behind if you don’t constantly make yourself relevant by acquiring new skills or improving on the skills you already have! It could be learning a foreign language or mastering the usage of software. You just want to make sure you learn something new daily. Dedicate a portion of your day to doing this and you’d see a world of difference. There are a myriad of ways you can learn nowadays. It could be through audio book, a blog post, a podcast like this, a how-to video on YouTube , listening to Ted talks or taking a free massive open online course. Make sure you look for something that would be beneficial to you in the future and start learning them today.

3. Network: you must have heard that saying that your network is your net worth—sounds like a badly composed rhyme but it’s so true! You’ve been around enough to know that succeeding in life would not just depend on what you know— you would definitely need to reach out to people at some point even if you’re a certified loner! Now networking is not all about dropping your business card at functions or just thinking about how you can benefit from people, you want to find ways to genuinely help and add values to other people’s lives. That’s what networking is all about.

4. Get enough rest.

Even though it’s vital to wake up and work hard every day, it’s also important to take ample rest. Finding that crucial balance may not be an easy thing to do because of your busy schedules, but if you care enough about your physical wellness as you should anyway, because it will determine your future success and effectiveness,(without good health, you can’t accomplish your goals) you’ll want to ensure you do nothing less than 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.

If you have difficulty falling asleep, be careful to avoid coffee or alcohol when bedtime is close.

Another thing is that if you eat a lot of sugar or smoke or take in any other type of toxins during the day, you’ll have some difficulty in getting to bed in a good time.

5. Take Action

It’s something that we have heard like a broken record but many of us still fall short. When we don’t take action we fall into procrastination. And we always have good reasons for that. I’ll talk about procrastination more in the next round. But let me quickly chip in that there is a way to overcome procrastination using the 15-minute rule. If you’ve not heard that before, it’s simply to take anything you’ve been putting off for a long time, set a timer on your phone for 15 minutes and do that thing for just that short period. The idea behind this is that it breaks the cycle of inaction. By committing to that task for 15 minutes, you will build some momentum that can help you to keep going!

Keep committing to these good habits Naija peeps—remember that you are a product of your habits and record your improvements and let me know about them on NaijaPodcast by sending a mail or commenting at the bottom of the show notes. All right, that’s about it for this episode and the concluding part of the ten habits of highly effective guys.

I’ll see you again with another solo round pretty soon and until then keep getting better like old wine and keep representing Naija!

LukmonSodiq:
Also don't fail to let them know that what befell Ifeajuna and co will also befall them. Biafra 2.0 will have ZERO tolerance for saboteurs. We cannot afford slip-ups or to make the same mistakes Ojukwu made. Any proven enemies of the state a.k.a saboteurs will be subjected to very gruesome types of execution. This will serve as a deterrent to others.

Be advised and guided accordingly...

Then this Biafra is going to be a hell compared to the suffering we are currently facing in Nigeria.

You accuse Nigeria of suppressing opposing voices but this is what you want to do with your Biafra to the extent of executing them.

Is that your dream sir?

Even those who are not going to identify with the cause would sit at home.

During the time of massob before the coming of IPOB when such sit-at-home order was announced, we all would sit at home and it didnt mean at that time that we were supporting the cause.

It was simply to avoid unnecessary problems via intimidation. You'd be called all sorts of names like sabo, slave etc and if you're unlucky to have a business, words would go round that people should avoid your business because you didnt identify with the Biafran cause.

I just want to ask though if hospitals would also be closed on that day?

Seriously, so any Igbo person that doesn't support Biafra doesnt have a true Igbo blood in him/her?

I'll have to share this new info with my Igbo friends who don't support this agitations.

I'll take your opinion with a pinch of salt. Tinubu may lose influence in Abuja, heck in other regions in Nigeria and even in the south west. But to lose his influence in Lagos, that's a big joke man.

Tax payers’ money at work in Lagos - Ambode

…Set To Construct Eight-Lane Road From Ikorodu To Epe

…Commissions Network Of Roads In Epe, Ogudu, Others

Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Friday expressed appreciation to tax payers in the State for performing their civic obligations, revealing that the taxes paid have been judiciously utilized to make life comfortable for the people through implementation of several projects.

Governor Ambode, who spoke separately at Epe and Kosofe Local Governments where he commissioned network of roads, said tax payers deserve to be commended for their efforts at contributing to the development of the State.

“Our government is very grateful to Lagosians for their prayers and support particularly in the discharge of their civic responsibility through payment of taxes. It is my belief therefore, that we will continue to enjoy your unflinching support as we work together in transforming our State to the “Lagos of Our Dream”.

“On our part, we shall continue to ensure that your taxes are judiciously managed and utilized towards making life more comfortable for everybody,” he said.

Speaking at Epe, Governor Ambode revealed plans by his administration to construct a standard eight-lane road from Ikorodu to Epe via Agbowa, Itoikin and Ijebu-Ode.

He said the road project would be delivered through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement, while a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to that effect would be signed next week.

The Governor also revealed that in a bid to scale up the socio-economic integration of the South West region, the State Government in partnership with Ogun State, would construct a top-class road from Mojoda to Ijebu-Ode junction.

The roads reconstructed and upgraded under the Epe Phase 1 Project included Lagos Road (Oke Osho/T. Junction/Aiyetoro Roundabout), Professor Agbalajobi (Aiyetoro Garage/Ita Marun-Ottin) and Oloja Estate (Bature/Otunba Adeniyi/Omotayo/Uthman Mustapha/Adekunle Rahman) roads.

Governor Ambode, while commissioning the roads, said the completion of the project was in line with his promise during electioneering to address the challenges of gross infrastructural deficit, flooding and erosion that the people of Epe had lived with for decades.

He said: “It gladdens my heart to see that two years into the tenure of this administration, the dream of transforming Epe and its environs into a modern city is becoming a reality. The narrow roads are being redefined to give Epe a face lift. The network of roads have been complimented with street lights to provide illumination, improve security and enhance socio-economic activities.

“This is consistent with our pledge to ensure inclusive growth, where no part of the State will be left behind or neglected. The ongoing infrastructural development in Epe is a foundation for economic progress and development,” Governor Ambode said.

He added that the plan of his administration was to open Epe town to local and international investors who would be keen to take advantage of the ongoing transformation of Ibeju-Lekki axis which is currently being turned into an industrial hub.

Aside the roads, the Governor said the ongoing Epe Marina project, when completed, would turn Epe into a world class destination for tourists and adventure seekers.

Giving details on other road projects in the axis, the Governor said work had already commenced on the Phase II of the project from Oke-Oso-Araga-Poka and Epe-Poka-Mojoda road, while the proposed Phase III is the Mojoda to Ijebu-Ode junction road to be delivered in collaboration with Ogun State.

Besides, the Governor expressed optimism that the Ikorodu-Agbowa-Itoikin-Ijebu-Ode and Itoikin Epe road projects would provide viable alternative routes to Lekki-Eti-Osa-Epe Expressway which will witness increased vehicular movement resulting from industrial activities at the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

“We are optimistic that the future prosperity of Lagos State is secured. The development of the East-West wings of the State is our sure bet to prosperity,” he said.

While thanking the people for their support during construction of the roads, the Governor urged them to endeavor to get necessary permit before embarking on any construction to prevent demolition of structures for such future road projects.

“As we celebrate 50years of our dear State, there is no better way to say thank you to all the good people of Epe division than the provision of economic infrastructure that will help make the communities liveable and viable,” he said.

At Kosofe Local Government where he equally commissioned newly upgraded eights roads in Omotayo Banwo, Kola Iyaomolere, Omotayo Close, Adetunji Adegbite Street, Ogun Street, Goodluck Street and Prince Oyewunmi Streets, the Governor said the rehabilitation of the roads was part of the efforts to further improve road connectivity and reduce travel time in the axis.

He expressed happiness that the efforts of his administration in the axis was already paying off and had resulted in massive improvement in the flow of traffic to and from the Island via the Third Mainland Bridge as a result of the construction of Laybys, Alternative Routes and creation of more spaces for bus stops.

Specifically, the Governor said the newly upgraded Banwo and Iyaomolere roads would decongest traffic on Oworonshoki expressway by providing a link through Ogudu to Ikorodu expressway.

Governor Ambode Vs Governor Ambode - See Some Hilarious Trending Photos



Ambode vs Ambode kwa?

Lol these would forever silence these Anti-Fashola & Pro-Ambode loudmouths here on NL.

deomelo, you never disappoint. I'll bookmark this link so that any dolt that comes next time and waste space by spitting trash about Fashola would witness a baptism of projects under Fash.

Sprumbaba:
Ta comot there. Fashola did not present Ambode but against him. The same argument you are spinning for Fashola can be said of Tinubu that put Fashola there too.

So, Fashola too worked on the work Tinubu laid down.

We all know Fashola is a soft spoken cool thief.

I dont know your state of origin but I am sure most folks from your state of origin would prefer to have that man you call "soft spoken cool thief" as a governor than the one you currently have.

Out of the three, Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode, Fashola is the shining star because he institutionalized governance but we mustn't forget that Tinubu is their Master architect. He designed the blueprint which his successors have adhered to.

Therefore when it comes to governance in Lagos, it's totally illogical to compare the three governors. They simply worked according to the plan laid out and it's expected that the successor should outperform his predecessor.

And at the end, Lagosians would be the greatest beneficiary.

coolcatty:
Many thanks for being civil....i appreciate that.

Kindly see my reasons below:

1) Deporting of Igbos and Hausas from Lagos.....i have never heard in my adult life that someone can be deported from his own country till fashola,a supposed lawyer did that.

2)Total neglect of all projects in Igbo dominated areas like festac,okota, amuwo odofin,satellite down to okoko...you need to see what Ambode has done in these areas in less than 2years.

Regards

1. I was expecting you to mention the deportation. Let's address this. Fashola explained what happened and what went wrong. He made it clear he didnt deport, he only repatriated back some people to their state of origin after communicating with the host state governor. Did you watch during his ministerial screening when this issue was asked? Did you know that in the presence of Senator Akpabio, he said Akpabio as the governor of Akwa Ibom also sent some destitutes loitering in his state back to Lagos and no one raised an eye-brow. Fashola has also done same to yorubas, but when it came to that of the Igbos, he was seen as evil.

2. You may be right because I dont stay in those areas but there were also areas dominated by the yorubas which Fashola's government couldn't touch. What do you expect the yorubas living there to say? For instance, Ikotun and large parts of Alimosho dominated by yorubas didnt get much attention, so is Fashola now being a tribalist on his own tribe?

I am yet to see a better reason why you think Fash is a tribalist. I was thinking you'll mention when Fash locked up one popular market dominated by the Igbos and Rochas had to intervene.

In governance, you do the greater good and without fear of being labeled as long as you know you're doing the right thing.

That's my submission sir

coolcatty:
Please kindly tell us apart from the lekki-ikoyi link bridge which other project that was started and finished by fashola??


I'M waiting before i answer your question.

cc deomelo

Anyway, so many threads have been created here in the past to list Fashola's achievements. Please go find them. Maybe I can help with a link
