This wont be NDA.

Obiano has really tried in Anambra. I just hope he doubles his efforts come second term because we know Governors usually relax during second term.

The scoreline looked like it ended in a penalty shootout.

Most importantly now is that we won.

MadeInTokyo:
The Zombies have arrived.

What's the meaning of this nonsense?

For y'all above, please quote me and share with me a source to where BRF promised 24 hours supply in the first place.

Thanks.

Keep us updated.

Thats very unfair to the whole country.Its Lagos the only coastal State in Nigeria.What happened to Calabar Akwa-ibom and Rivers and Bayelsa states.They should Deconjest that Lagos Jareh! Every Year we spend huge sums of money on Lagos Benin Express way, East-West road.some of these would have been transported through water ways to the south. APC government be appointing 83 year old man as a chairman are we moving forward or backward in this country.Nigerians are not bored so enough of this African Magic on the polity.

yes, it looks unfair but please hold your leaders accountable. This project was abandoned during the previous government and because BRF couldnt influence the continuation, the project suffered. But now, BRF has been able to influence the project to the benefit of Lagos.

Lemme ask you, during GEJ's dispensation, which projects like this were your representatives able to attract to your region (If you are from the SE or SS)

Lagos is not congested. It's because areas like Lekki, Ikorodu, Epe are not as developed as the mainland that's why there are more concentration of people in the Mainland.

Once the Badagry, Eko atlantic and Ibeju-lekki project comes up, people would migrate to these areas giving the mainland a breather.

I believe if the reps from the coastal states like Crossriver, Bayelsa and the rest approach the FG, they'll listen to them.

agabusta:
Good development. But we need a modern rail line from that Badagry port and that will pass through all the South West states to the North. So that goods can be easily evacuated from this port.

I just wish Ambode will cool down and give Fashola the needed respect. If he does that, Fashola will really help him and make his job easier.

I'm curious sir. Has Ambode been doing otherwise?

I was thinking both have moved on.

9ja4show:
shey its not the federal account that they will deduct the money from abi

It will favours nigeria not just lagos

Obviously, it will favour Nigeria because Lagos is in Nigeria but Lagos as a state would benefit more in terms of

1. Employment
2. Increase in IGR/ GDP
3. Increase in FDI
4. Increase in population that'll bring about increase in tax
5. Etc.

naptu2:
1) Apapa Port
2) Tin Can Island Port
3) Lekki Port
4) Badagry Port
5) Ikorodu Port (Lighter Terminal. NPA is working on making it an export port).
6) Ijora Wharf
7) Customs Quay (the original port of Lagos)

Allahu Akbar

Thanks for the expose sir.

FlamesD:
To the Lagosian, this is a good development so they would say. But to every rational thinker and in the spirit of one Nigeria, this is more reasons why people will continue agitating for true federalism or brake up. A state with two seaports and counting is still given another seaport while the one in Calabar, Oneh and Onitsha is been aboudoned. This is unjustifiable, unfair, wicked and ungodly. This is sharp way telling the southeast and south south that they don't belong to this entity called Nigeria.

In as much as I agree with you that the South South seaports ought to have been given considerations, we can't but admit that representatives from that region are not doing enough to attract development to their area. They are instead embroiled in one issues or the other that won't have any impact on those they claim to represent.

This Badagry seaport couldnt be approved in the last dispensation because Lagos didn't have an influential representative during Jonathan's government but the South East/ South had enough in high places, yet none didn't think of bringing it up during the FEC meetings. But because of BRF now in Buhari's government, this project would soon kick-off.

Even if you succeed in seceding, there is no guarantee that the dubai of your dreams would be immediately replicated in Niger Delta Republic or Biafra.

My own is to always tell people to hold their leaders responsible. But that is not the case because we now see people living in Delta state more concerned about what happens in Lagos than in their vicinity.

Order has returned to the north-east says Nigerian minister Fashola


The UN and Medecins Sans Frontieres have warned that millions of Nigerians displaced by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram are facing starvation due to the insecurity in the north-east of the country.

Babatunde Fashola, a senior Nigerian minister insists that order is returning to the region.

Mr Fashola said he guaranteed that people will not starve and that a team of people were focusing on getting life back to normal.

"In the last three to four months, the president himself ordered the release of food support from our strategic reserves of agriculture, so we are mindful of the problem," he added.

Boko Haram’s seven-year insurgency has left 20,000 people dead.

I knew with BRF position in the 3 key ministries, Lagos would get lots of favours.

Now Lagos state has or intend to have how many seaports About 4 in total in the next 6 years.

The Lekki deep seaport is already ongoing.

Edited :::

Thanks to naptu2, Lagos is expected to have 7 seaports

1) Apapa Port
2) Tin Can Island Port
3) Lekki Port
4) Badagry Port
5) Ikorodu Port (Lighter Terminal. NPA is working on making it an export port).
6) Ijora Wharf
7) Customs Quay (the original port of Lagos)

I am more excited about the Power prospects this project would bring about.

I read that for Lagos to enjoy 24/7 electricity, it needs at least 10,000MW.

When this refinery is completed hopefully, Lagosians would experience uninterrupted power supply.

God bless MAD for conceiving this project.

I can't say for others but Buhari would not sack Fashola.

Baba eh calm down biko

BRF is on a league of its own. The best governor we've ever seen in the last 16 years.

I just hope Ambode would make his own mark, I believe he would sef because he has started on a wonderful note.

Besides most legacy projects initiated by BAT and BRF would be completed during Ambo's tenure. Lucky him.

I was about to open a thread on this.

Full story and more pictures here: http://akinwunmiambode.com/lagos-economy-to-be-boosted-by-eko-atlantic-city-project/

Abeg see government wey sabi. Ride on Ambo. Eko o Ni baje.

If the flood that happened during the time of Noah was to purge all evils and it is believed that those in the ark were only the good ones, how then did evil return back to the world?

Thanks.

Mr 'objective one nigerianist' alias 'let us unite'. You have condemned IPOB fine, can you show us where you condemned your Oba's unprovoked anti-Igbo comments?
Abi na only Igbo good for you to condemn? Show us if you are not a deceitful yoruba man pretending to be objective.

I should show you where? very funny. If you had been following me, you'd have known. I dont only make my points here on NL, I do same on Facebook and Twitter and I condemn any statement that brings about division or incite hatred. I condemned the Oba of Lagos statement and if you wish to know, I also condemned Buhari's 97% and 5% statement.

But just for you to know, I dont see IPOB as Igbo. So, if I condemn the IPOB or MASSOB, I am not attacking the Igbo nation but just that secessionist group. Thank you and have a nice day.

I think there are more people there behind the camera that's why he used the Mic

Yyeske:
My dear, abeg leave those jobless clowns. I live in Onitsha and very vocal against the nonsense IPOB is all about, imagine no dissenting voice, no opposition, no complaint. Are we in Nazi Germany? I've been called sabo several times but I don't care. They can never take my people back to 1970 because of their brainwashed brains.

Bro, it is very difficult because these Igbos are who I lived with for 16 years, you know what that means. Then coming online to see Igbo v Yoruba fights pains me a lot. I have emotional attachments to both tribe because I grew up in Igbo land from a Yoruba family so it is just difficult to understand where the hate comes from.

When you make your anti-IPOB stance, they call you names. My childhood friend (Igbo) posted something against Biafra on facebook, and my goodness, see the insalts. One even went as far as telling him to ask his mother for his paternity that his mum might have been raped by an Hausa Fulani because no true Igbo son would be against Biafra. Just imagine the nonsense. I have also listened to the Radio biafra via the radio app so let no IPOB _fucktard tell me nonsense because I know you people well. I have friends who participated also in Biafra remembrance day but they dont exhibit so much hatred like the ones I've found on NL do.

It's just so sad to take. My boo is even from Arondizuogu, Imo and she told me her parents dont even support the madness of IPOB. I'm sure if she makes her opinion known, she'll be accused of being a Yoruba with an Igbo name to cause division. smh.

medpren:
yoruba man you are deceiving yourself. Check the history even here on internet, before any of us knew who kanu was, you yorubas cheered whenever police and soldier arrests and kills MASSOB member. You even called them 'hand bag' carriers. Ezu river was there before kanu, you yoruba cheered the killings their.

Stop deceiving yourself that kanu instigated hate, we already were not very fond of you just as you hated us, before Kanu became popular. Go your way in peace, and if you still maintain that you must live with you mutually hate by force. Good luck to you.

You yorubas cheered? Fallacy of hasty generalisation. I dont even know what you are talking about that "yorubas" cheered on. Abeg swerve. Keep it up with your hatred online.

justice2016:
lier we don't speak of taking up arms . And no body is against any other Biafrans who are not in support . I support Biafra but still respect my friends different view about Biafra .

I have been following Radio Biafra since the period of GEJ so I know what I am saying. My Chemistry teacher in sec school is an IPOB, so dont tell me nonsense. That is the problem with you folks but I have insulated myself from your insalts and abuses online. Keep it up bro.

My biggest problem with this IPOB members is the way they dish out insalts and curses to fellow Igbos who dont support their Biafran dream.

It makes me wonder what kinda nation they want to have when they cant even accommodate opposing or dissenting views.

I happen to have more than 80% of my friends as Igbos because I grew up in Anambra and most care not about the agitation but they are afraid to voice it out else they'll be called names.

The day I unfollowed the Radio Biafra page on Facebook was when i read a comment from an IPOB requesting that they all should be supplied arms and he is willing to kill anyone around him even his parents if they dont support Biafra. I saw the comment weeks before Nnamdi Kanu was arrested.

I just couldn't believe how such a large number of industrious Igbos I have come to love could easily be instigated and brainwashed to hate their fellow Nigerians and even wish death on their perceived enemies.

It was really disappointing and heartbreaking. You can go about your agitation, but abusing people from your own tribe who dont support your agitation, calling them sabos, is just not the way to go.

I do point 4 a lot.

As for point 7, when people see me at first, they think I am Igbo but when I tell them my name, they look shocked that I am Yoruba. But I'll now shock them more when I speak in both Languages (Igbo and Yoruba: beautiful languages

I hope Laspark is still active?

There is a difference i have observed between Fashola's road constructions and that of Ambode.

During the era of Fashola, roads were being constructed alongside trees being planted on the side. They always left spaces for flowers to be planted. But most of Ambode's roads I have seen though of very good quality still lacks this important beautification Fash was known for that we has then nicknamed Flower planter.

Some of the parks in the pics posted by aresa do not look same if you visit those places as at today due to lack of maintenance.

I just hope Ambode doesnt forget this. Greenery is what sets Lagos road construction apart from others.

I believe Fashola can get the power situation right. He understands the situation and has a plan to tackle the challenges.

I think for the Igbos, its Anambra. I grew up there and they love the state.

I believe this can be realised. It's just impressive that despite the decline in the National economy, Lagos still soars on.

I just wish the state government has the constitutional authority to provide power for the citizens.

This is what we Lagosians suffer mostly.
