Politics / Re: Lagos State Removes All Illegal Shops Around Mandilas Building by AKswift: 3:53pm On Jan 26 |
lexylaw40kuti: Even if they ‘start thinking home’, they should not bring this haphazard style of development, where structural and building regulations are utterly disregarded all in the name of building shops. This’s a modern era, and as a governor in any Eastern states, l will also demolish any unplanned layout, detachment or building causing any form of chaotic urbanization 1 Like |

sanctity454: Like Igboson1 stated, the growth, demand should be organic. Take for example, l wouldn’t build a 10-floor high rise in Owerri for office lease because the demand is not there, except it’s a personal hotel. The only viable market for high rise in Nigeria is Lagos, ABJ, and Rivers coming distant third. Remember investment is influenced by ROI, which Owerri can’t provide. Another angle to look at this is high rise building for luxurious apartments, which we see on the island in Lagos. The average income level in Imo state can’t support that. Even the few who can afford it would rather stay in their mansion in New Owerri. Plus, Imo, and the East in general, do not boast of substantial skilled immigrants like Lagos who live in such service apartments. An industrialized Imo state will make this happen, but the state is not there yet, so this high rise buildings, for now, is not economical; l would prefer an organic growth 5 Likes |

Cjrane2: The dude only presented a perspective of contemporary urban development, which is something most African cities (Nigeria for example) lack- proper city planning. Like you argued about critical infrastructure facilities residing in the exclusive list, say, rail, power and some of the big shots; but urban city development(planing) and aesthetic are being influenced by state and local governments. The Anambra govt and her residents are doing well on key public/private investments, but these efforts should be well planned in a structural way to avoid a chaotic development. Try to embrace the import of his post. His submission is not peculiar to Anambra, but a country-wide problem. 6 Likes |

mktinsight: Nice post, Ore. This is what real urban planing should be at the minimum, yet we keep seeing dirty and unplanned streets and cities in Nigeria. I saw a thread about Orlu the other day and was disappointed on how filthy the roads were. Local and State governments need to rise up to the occasion of planning their cities...this is the 21st century, pls! 2 Likes |

I believe most imolites here have read about the new Administration of Criminal Bill Law signed by your governor. This law is un-democratic, violates some sections of our constitution and human rights, and doesn’t promote an enabling environment for real investment. This is tyrannical and must be repealed! 1 Like |

Ofodirinwa is empirically intelligent and thoughtful with his opinion. He is among the few persons l look towards his opinion on issues being discussed on NA, however he’s terse with posts. Arguing slightly with his view on airport infrastructure in SE, l feel the SE administrators should focus on improving road infrastructure, security and improving the ease of doing business in the region rather than the race for each state to have an airport. Improving health, education, per capita income and security are weighted more than airport infrastructure on the HDI model. There is always time for everything! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Irrespective of the states, l don’t like the idea of govt. building hospitals and running schools in Nigeria. Let discuss on hospitals, Imolites have rich dudes that can invest in the health sector same way they are pumping millions into hotels. The government should identify these individuals and encourage them to invest in the sector. Take for example, Ezenna of Orange drugs, why can’t he build a start-of-the-art, mid size hospital in Owerri, he is into pharmaceutical, right? same goes for Maurice Iwu and the big names in Imo. The Mbaise community in the States has a good number of health practitioners; why not tap from their pocket to enable them invest in sector rather than just owing fancy homes in Nigeria? Same way the govt was a major player in the hotel biz in the 80s and earlier 90s before private capital took over, what can we say about the magt of big hotels like concord, hotel presidential, federal palace hotel and their likes? Govt should face its biz of being an effective regulator, while it’s encourage private capitals in most sectors of the economy 1 Like |

riches4me:Bros, this initiative is sound! Even if you cut/block government wastage, we still need private capital to drive public infrastructures in Nigeria. Here in the US, Federal highways are tolled and the yield is used to maintain the facilities. One good thing about this initiative is its private administrative handle, which will ensure that the resource is well utilized, unlike when the FG was managing toll gates before OBJ demolished those corrupt spots that failed to remit the appropriate amount to the FG. 45 Likes 5 Shares |

Both parties are wrong: it’s a poor PR for the carrier to address her customers as ‘bunch of useless...’ in an official letter; Naira, too, has been known to be a menace. However, reading through some replies to this post, the Nigerian mentality is visibly present: the fact you have some millions does not mean you should misbehave or get praised/shielded whenever you broke a law. |
