Even though he was denied second term ticket,Ambode has worked.

He was denied because he was not feeding the party people. That is what his Ojuyobo boss said.

@NAIRATREND.COM.NG

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said on Tuesday that though Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has done well in office, he has not been a good party man.

For this reason, Tinubu said, the party has decided to withdraw support for the governor who wished to go for a second term.

He stressed that the decision to abandon Ambode for Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu was beyond him, adding that he was only doing the wishes of the party, which had entrusted him with its leadership.

Tinubu spoke with journalists at Ward C, Ikeja Local Government Area, after the conclusion of voting in the Lagos APC governorship primary.

Asked why he withdrew his support for Ambode, Tinubu said, “Who did I support in 2014? Ambode. Life is dynamic. It’s those who made me the leader of the structure in Lagos who said it was what they want. It’s only if you have followers that you’re a leader in democracy.

“If I look back and I don’t find them again; if I don’t respond to them, if I fail to accede to their request, I would have failed the leadership test.

“This is not personal; it is beyond me as a person. Every democratic constitution is preceded by ‘We, the people’. So, I had to submit myself to the wishes and the yearnings of our party.

“This is an elixir for the general election. Ambode Akin, he’s doing well, yes; he hasn’t been a good party man; not only the glamour, not only about brick and mortal. A talent is determined by character. For you to become an influential person, you have to respond to the yearnings of the people. This is politics; democracy, one man, one vote.”

Tinubu dismissed the suggestion that the development in Lagos State could negatively affect the fortune of the party at the national level in 2019.

He also described the direct primary as the best, saying it had helped to eliminate intra-party corruption.

Not saying other places should not be developed, but our gateway needed improvement and was rightly done.

Is Badagry/Seme not another gateway, by road into the country

to be sincere.. I blamed the woman for allowing that intimidation to go on for long. I have a lot of numbers to petition several agencies.. Nonsense dey this country oooooo

It would be better for you to share the numbers and other details of such agencies here now and on any related thread from time to time.
That would be a real help.

Some countries are way more advanced than Nigeria. Just see how UK handles willing to secede Scotland, or its own secession from Europe. You might want to copy your neighbours, but make sure you have your neighbour's skills and abilities first.

Part of copying your neighbours is the development of the skills and abilities that he has to be ahead of you. Is that not what Singapore, South Korea, China, India etc have done/are doing steadily while we blacks are chopping the life of our head in misery

Oga the root of the NNPC failure is our structure. What do you think will happen when an incompetent private firm wins the bid to run it like our power sector discos?
SAUDI ARABIA didn't just work out because it was privately managed but because they are united and gave it to competent fellows to manage.

The incompetent firm will run losses until it goes bankrupt and some smart guy will buy to turn it around into profitability.
Are there not banks that have been dealt with in a similar manner
Oceanic, for example!

I saw your post on IEPCL, anonimi, and researched it but I don't believe Atiku can Genuinely privatise Nigerian public institutions, and one swan ain't cutting this. I need to see flocks of swans.

There will come a time in the future when we might have to raise up our voices to sell nnpc, but I'm certain most wouldn't want Buhari to sell it now, for one reason or another. Or would you?

Yes, I would.
Which of the countries where Nigerians are running away to in droves, risking death in the Sahara desert and Mediterranean Sea has its government owning the equivalent of NNPC?
Why not if not
If you are a responsible parent and your child is always going to spend time with your neighbours, won't you find out what is the attraction and try to replicate it so your child stays home to develop your heritage?

The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya.
A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.
The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.

There is no reason to conclude that nnpc will be profitable from the argument you posed with Aramco. Some might point out that not privatising like Aramco should make nnpc profitable, but since they are both not privatised, and one makes profit while the other doesn't, then perhaps privatisation is irrelevant.

Except, where Atiku is concerned, it is very relevant! Who would he sell it to if not his cronies, or has he not got form? What happened to all the other companies he privatised? Is there any reason privatised nnpc would not end up the same way? Or do you just not know Atikus's record regarding privatisation?

Could anyone provide some please, if there's any.

I schooled in uniben, so I know the history and origin of that flooded area. First it an indictment on the kind of civil engineers we produced and the kind of government we have, who see substandard as the common man dividends of governance. When RCC was constructing this road back in 2012.
I knew this problem will arise .since the road starts from total filling station at dawnson , a covered drainage from there to oluku bypass was the ideal thing to wade off run off water. The soil mechanics of the total length will indicate a high soil retention ability .The exact position of this havoc is megom junction opposite S & T barracks. The asphalt layer is higher than the ground level of the S&T section while the other is the same .since their is no drainage system the water gathers and flows directly into evubmore street thereby causing untold hardship for the street residents. They decided to use bagged sand as a embankment for the water.it was so high that anytime rain falls the water is trapped.

Are you sure the road was rehabilitated in 2012
According to the BMC people, Jonathan did absolutely nothing. So please check your date and reconfirm.

Anambra poll: Buhari, Tinubu, others protest at INEC headquarters
November 28, 2013

https://thenationonlineng.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/APC1-1024x547.jpg

Top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by a former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari defied police and military barricade to march on the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in protest against the shoddy conduct of the governorship poll in Anambra State.

They demanded outright cancellation of the election by INEC.

They also called for the resignation of INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega and dissolution of the management of the electoral body.

Reminiscence of pro-democracy struggle between 1993 and 1998 during the dark days of military era, the leaders trekked for about five kilometers from APC National Secretariat in Blantyre Street in Wuse II part of Abuja to Zambezi Crescent in Maitama District where INEC is located.



The initial stage of the trek was piloted by Governors Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun State) and Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti State) and many members of the National Assembly.

The great trek was later coordinated by a former National Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change, Engr. Buba Galadima.

But when the procession took off, Buhari and some top leaders of APC withstood the rigours of standing in an open lorry for the protest march.

Others tucked in the lorry were the National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande, the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; a former National Chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu; a former National Chairman of the defunct All Peoples Party(APP), Alhaji Yusuf Ali; ex-Governor Ahmed Sani Yerima, ex-Governor Segun Osoba; ex-Governor Niyi Adebayo; Senator Nazif Suleiman; the Deputy National Secretary of APC, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, Senator Abu Ibrahim; and a former member of the House of Representatives, Comrade Dino Melaye.

Others who participated in the hectic protest were Senator Oluremi Tinubu; Senator (Prof.) Sola Adeyeye; Senator Domingo Obende; Senator Anthony Adeniyi; Senator Ahmed Lawan; Senator Gbenga Asafa; House Minority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajiabiamila and the Chairman of the House Committee on the Diaspora, Hon. Abike Dabiri.

Others were the Deputy Minority Chief Whip in the House, Hon. Garba Datti; Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Suleiman Kawu; Hon. Umar Bago; Hon. Adeola Solomon; Hon. Yakubu Balogun; Hon. Pally Iriase; Hon. Munir Hakeem; Hon. Abayomi Ayeola; Hon. Taiwo Adelekan; Hon. Adeyinka Ajayi; Hon. Gafar Akintayo; Hon. Sunday Adepoju; Hon. Ajibola Famurewa; the APC National Women Leader, Barrister Sharon Ikeazor, APC National Treasurer, and Hajiya Sadiat Umar Farouk,

Waving brooms amidst blare of revolutionary songs, traffic was brought to a standstill for about two hours along the ever busy Ademola Adetokunbo Street in Wuse II.

Many workers in the business district abandoned offices to identify with the protesters.

They wielded leaflets and placards with the following inscriptions: “Anambrarians, Nigerians are with you,” “Anambra Election: Jega, not the INEC Messiah, Resign Now,” “2015, No hope with Jega,” “No Supplementary Election in Anambra,” “Cancel Anambra Governorship Election Now,” “Election Fraud Must Stop Now.”

The stupid court should have first of all indicated which part of our constitution prohibited protest.

And how the said protest impinged on the right of the petitioner.

The panel is just trying to shield him from further disgrace on one side and the judiciary too on the other side from further embarrassment that comes with the whole saga.

Person go go toilet him no go carry water, some go use paper instead of tissue and instead of discarding it properly they dump it inside the toilet bowl, after messing and rendering their toilets unusable them go come begin break into other people's own..... It got to a point i just gave up and started patronizing the Convenience beside Environmental Faculty...

.. I learnt many things in UNN... one of them is Nigerians need re-orientation... This our "afterall no be my own" mentality is doing us more harm than good..

Considering the fact that a government is the reflection of its people.. It's no wonder our country is in shambles..

Outrage as FG abandons N140bn 2nd Niger Bridge
31/03/2016

...Buhari should order Julius Berger back to site - Stakeholders

There is anger in the South East zone over the Federal Government’s abandonment of the N140 billion ($700 million) 2nd Niger Bridge.
Investigations by The AUTHORITY revealed that the contractor, Julius Berger Construction Company, stopped work on the project which is being constructed under Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement since April 2015.
Concerned citizens of Eastern Nigeria and other stakeholders are appealing to President Buhari to direct the construction company to resume work on the project.
After a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on August 26, 2015, the Director
General of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Aminu Diko, had hinted that work on the vital bridge would be suspended.

Dikko said: “The communities around that area are clamouring that their lands have been taken and that they have not been compensated adequately. As a matter of fact, we got a letter from the Onitsha Traditional Rulers Council complaining that they have not been adequately represented in this transaction.”
As that was raging, the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole called on the former Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, to explain to Nigerians the whereabouts of the billions meant for the bridge as according to him, $700 million was drawn from the Sovereign Wealth Fund for the project.

The bridge’s contract was awarded by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan during the second term of former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.
Onolememen had then assured Nigerians that the project would be completed before the expiration of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in 2015 as part of efforts to deliver on the campaign promises of that government.
But Jonathan lost in the election and immediately the contractor left the site.
The bridge is said to have been reflected in this 2016 Budget with hope that something tangible would be done to construct the bridge.
All the several efforts made by The AUTHORITY to speak with the management, including the Managing Director of Julius Berger Construction Company, Mr. Wolfgang Goetsch, on why work was stopped on the project, proved abortive.

Some stakeholders, however, claimed that the construction giant abandoned work immediately President Buhari took over the mantle of leadership about 10 months ago, following a presidential directive that work at the site should discontinue.
An employee of the firm (name withheld) who claimed he was recruited in April 2014 at the site of the bridge, admitted that Julius Berger had stopped work at the project site since June 2015 due to non-funding by the Federal Government.
