Jonathan hand work!!!

Weyrey ni bobo yi sha

Well, I was expecting to see the One-day governor host meetings, discuss with Ambode and his cabinet members, maybe given an opportunity to commission at most 2 projects, give an acceptance speech... you know, something more memorable like it was done under BRF but this looks boring and uninspiring. I hope I am wrong

An example of what I am saying is here -> http://www.newerafoundation.org/?p=393 Fashola took the one-day governor on tours of projects around the state.

Boss Seun, Am I the only one experiencing this?

The site is no longer a sub domain.

Our official site says until two days before its launched.

1. I was the one who developed the ThatEnyimbaFan.com site but because the domain wasn't renewed in time, he switched over to the WordPress site.

2. Our official site was to have been relaunched by the 1st of July. Well, lets hope it would be launched in two days time.

Welcome sir.
If truly you are a diehard fan of Enyimba, then you should always read this independent blog owned by an enyimba fan,Sam Nnaji, for enyimba fans alike.
http://thatenyimbafan.com
I personally visit the blog everyday to enjoy myself. Infaxt the blog has proven to be even better than Enyimba's odfixial website no thanks to bad management ofxourse.
The players and coaches of our club also frequent the site.
Even some of the recent coaching tactics and selections of late have been influenced by suggestions on the blog.
I found his NL ID but his account has been dormant for almost a year now.

Yea, I introduced him to Nairaland but he said he doesnt really enjoy this site though.

I'm in touch with Enyimba's media officer. He is working on a new website for the club.

Hopefully, our club would become as big as we dream of someday

I was living with someone in 2008 when their cousin came around to spend the holiday. He stayed in my room. That's when he told me about NL. I joined in 2009 after a year of viewing as guest.

SeverusSnape:
Buhari's own is becoming too unbecoming.

Even while preparing budget, He had to bring in a photographer, Just to portray himself as a serious administrator, But we know the truth, We know why he's doing all these. Same reason he wore suit during campaign, and snapped a picture with Osinbajo taking sachet milo. Just to deceive gullible... As for Fayose, He has always been a grassroot man.

We're now in a dictatorial photocratic government.

The photographer has been given a job to do and he has a bit of an unfettered access to the President.

Again, like they say, a picture is worth more than a thousand words. So stories backed with pictures would give a better credibility and a visual cue of what is going on.

We are in a social media age and photos are a huge part of it.

You should learn to live with it under this government. GEJ did same too. Buhari is doing same. The next president would do same and maybe even use snapchat.

That's why we have pictures of our leaders on the internet we can use as memes and cartoons.

If anyone is fed up with the pictures, he can move to other stories

SeverusSnape:
Okay fine, Feeding disables is a nice gesture, But must he have to position a camera man to capture the action just to portray himself as someone who loves the poor and downtrodden.

Government officials at every level have photographers to take pictures of events for future memory.

The pictures are not only for the official, it can also be requested for by individuals captured in the photo.

So, there is absolutely nothing wrong with these pictures being taken.

Fayose, Buhari's number 1 critic does same always to also portray himself as someone who loves the poor and downtrodden

If you get to political office someday even if it is as a mere commissioner, you'll do the same.

This is quite some interesting fact.

Can we possibly have two more of these please?

henrydadon:
remind me of the movie akilah and the bee

but sadly keke Palmer is now a hoe in real life

that's sad. What American life can turn your childhood idol to!

Same way people from other tribes open IDs with names of a rival tribe to cause confusion too.

Every tribe is guilty of this on NL.

The governor was spot on.

Why running away in Lagos traffic that you know is very dangerous.

These hawkers know it is illegal to hawk yet still go ahead.

The government has been lenient with them.

If you didnt hawk, you wont be pursued.

And if you hawk and you are caught, dont run but submit yourself to arrest.

Only criminals run when they sight the presence of security officials.

What Ambode had just done is what I had expected BRF to do but I am glad he has taken the bold steps to take hawkers off the street.

It's left to see how far they'll go with the implementation.

I'm quite interested to see if we wont witness a protest from an organised groups of hawkers in the coming weeks.

To tame the madness of Lagos, Ambode needs to wield the big stick and take bold decisions.

Everything is gradual. Soon I believe he'll go after the Agberos. Lets deal with the hawkers first.

Wow. One of my favorite authors of Nigeria's golden literary generation.

Another chapter of a literary giant closed.

And for those saying he wont be forgotten because he sabotaged Biafra's dream, your opinions are inconsequential.

He'll be remembered as a literary giant by the international literary community, what would you be remembered for?

Adieu Elechi.

Lol. His nose doe

Happy birthday my Honorable. Hurray!!!

I don't join issue with kids. Get busy.

Then why did you quote me in the first instance?. Abeg swerve Adult.

Sincerely, Ikorodu Lagos has most been neglected maybe because they are in the outskirts of Lagos but I hope Ambode wont neglect them too. The day I spent a week in Ikorodu, kai, I vowed not to go back there. I pitied the residents there.

worlexy:
Typical zombiec response. Did I expect something different? Nope. Lagos IGR was N600M or we were told it was N600M, just listen to what you put down, with all the multinational companies in Lagos, Houses, shops, small-large scale businesses, hospitals, construction companies, recreational centres among others and anyone would accept that Lagos IGR was N600m? I've been following politics before u were born

Point of correction, I'm a human python and not a zombie. So, next time never you insalt me in a reply, take note of my moniker.

Now, I realise you are more shallow than expected else, I'd have expected you google it up and learn about how Lagos during that period had to look for alternatives to generate revenue. Lagos was a _shit hole then. Lagos was regarded as the dirtiest city in the world before the coming of Fashola.

Tinubu who met Lagos in a dilapidated state restructured the economy and appointed folks who'd help him to look inwards and increase their IGR. By the time he left, Lagos IGR was at about 6-7 billion.

If you had known about Lagos politics before I was born, you'd have known all these but partisanship and hatred for no just cause has beclouded your sense of constructive reasoning.

jacksonite:
is withholding a state allocation by a president a good thing? Why not assess this issue based on its merits rather than drawing comparison to OBJs actions which were equally illegal and immoral ?

No, withholding allocation is never a good thing.

Is the way Fayose attacking Buhari a good thing?

Is he the only governor in opposition?

Why is Wike not doing such too?

worlexy:
Lagos is a country on its own. Lagos can survive only on its IGR, if Tinubu had governed Ekiti that time he had issue with OBJ, he would have suffered. Lagos is the heartland of Nigeria Economy. Don't compare the two

The problem with you folks is that you started following politics recently that's why you make such a false claim.

During that period Lagos IGR was just 600 million naira with a wage bill of 2 billion. How did you expect the government to have survived then? Pls go back and read up on what happened back then, its on the internet.

Lastine:
Do you know how much Lagos State generate every month fir internal revenue

You can't compare Lasgidi to a just rising state like Ekiti

Do you know how much Lagos wad generating as IGR then? Just 600 million naira with a wage bill of about 2 billion so please argue on only what you know about.

Folks coming on NL to support Fayose would never wish to have such a man as a governor.

He's such an embarrassment to governance.

I am no fan of Tinubu but when he was having issues with OBJ, we didnt witness all these.

Imagine if Buhari withholds Ekiti's funds the way OBJ did to Tinubu!

Is he going to complete Enyimba FC's stadium renovation?

He added that 35 states were in the process of submitting the required documents for the
facility.


35 out of 36 states needs bailout

But which state do you think is the 36th that is not interested in the bailout

Lykar:
Are u dangote's son abeg tell ur papa to not do sometin dat will cus world war III demo befor the actual war okay?

Lol. The power supply to be generated wont be for only Lagos, it'll be extended to other parts of the country via the national grid but that is after Lagos must have been satisfied of its power requirements

I read Lagos needs between 5000MW-8000MW for a 24/7 electricity supply.

Lykar:
Only in lagos? So the rest of the country shd be in darkness? Again, selfish interest on the prowl!

Kpele Ndo

Sadly this project has suffered a setback. The investors have pulled out and the government is currently shopping for new investors.

What is interesting to note is that his gas project would supply us with 3 billion cubic feet while the nations requirement is just 2 billion cubic feet, a surplus of 1 billion meaning we can be exporting. That would cater for our power supply needs.

Again I read that the nation consumes about 350,000 barrel of oil daily and his refinery would cater for 650,000 barrel of oil daily, that means fuel scarcity would disappear in Lagos permanently. Wow.

This is just amazing from one man. Lalasticlala and i cant wait for 2019

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Saturday said that the refinery, petrochemical, gas and fertilizer projects being undertaken by Africa’s richest man and business mogul, Aliko Dangote at the Lekki Free Zone (LFZ) in Lagos would significantly boost the economy of Lagos and Nigeria in general.

Governor Ambode who spoke to newsmen shortly after an extensive inspection tour of the projects by the Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and some members of the Federal Executive Council, said the projects would have great multiplier effects on the nation’s economy.

He said, “Firstly, there is a refinery project that is ongoing, second there is a petrochemical project that is also ongoing. There is pipeline transfer project that brings gas from Bonny down to Olokonla and down to Lekki and then the fourth one is the fertilizer project all in one location.”

He said the projects would also be critical to the economic growth of the Lagos East and West Senatorial Districts which according to him, will be open to massive investment opportunities on completion.

Governor Ambode said the decision of the Vice President to lead the inspection visit to the projects was a signpost to the benefits inherent not just for the State but to the nation. He assured that his administration would provide the necessary support to ensure that the projects are completed within schedule.

“The coming of the Vice President to inspect this project is instructive and a sign post that the Federal Government is in support of what is going on us and the truth is this, we might not be able to show you all that is going on here but in another few weeks, we will do an aerial view of this project and also do a documentary because for the very first time we are going to have a Petrochemical project that is coming on stream by December 2017; a Refinery that is coming on stream by the first quarter of 2019 and also the Gas project that is coming on stream by 2018. You can just imagine or visualize what that means to the economy of Lagos,” Governor Ambode said.

He added that apart from the 135,000 direct jobs that will be created from the projects, another 100,000 indirect jobs would be generated while income accruable to the Federal Government would be in the region of over $500million in three years.

“It is important that we understand the debt of what has happened here and also use it as a platform to encourage other investors that Lagos is on the rise and the future of Lagos is very bright,” the Governor said.

Osinbajo, while addressing newsmen after a project briefing at the LFZ, said the project as a whole is an incredible industrial undertaken being the largest and the most ambitious in Africa.

The Vice President who was accompanied on the inspection by the Ministers for Finance, Kemi Adeosun; Solid Minerals, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola and Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah, said the Gas Project upon completion has the capacity to produce about three billion cubic feet of gas daily, which would permanently address the two billion cubic feet daily gas required to power the country. “This is incredible if that can be done because it would be a major strategic asset for Nigeria, It would boost our power supply tremendously,” the Vice President said.

On his part, Alhaji Dangote said the decision to site the projects in Lagos was due to the investment friendly climate in the State. “Lagos is one State that is very investor friendly and the Governor himself has always been asking what are the issues and he normally put in place steps to resolve those issues immediately,” he said.

He said the Gas Pipeline Project would guarantee uninterrupted power supply in Lagos on completion, which he said would also positively increase the State’s Gross Domestic Project (GDP). Dangote further said the projects would also attract other bigger investors into the Zone. He also said the projects would benefit the local communities as at least 65 per cent of people in the catchment area would be employed, while over 1000 would be trained.

“Our target is that in the next five years or so from now, we hope and we believe that half of Nigeria’s crude will be refined and exported rather than just exporting crude to go and create jobs elsewhere,” Dangote said.

They want the FG to "move" all refineries back to the ND within 7 days?

Our refineries must really be mobile

Bomb third mainland bridge? I welcome them to try

But why third mainland bridge that is far away in the west?
