ISpiksDaTroof:
54 years and Christians had no hand in its rot?

The biggest problem with yall Nigerians is your hypocrisy. Lies, burying your head in the sand and ignoring truth are your expertise.

Did I say that "Christians had no hand in its rot"
Why are you twisting my words to mean something entirely different?
Is that not DECEPTION and MISINFORMATION bordering on LIES
Why would you want to do that?

chukwudi44:
Believe this and you will believe anything

The OP should post a copy of the agreement/pledge that he signed with three witnesses

ISpiksDaTroof:
If Nigeria truly belongs to you all, you currently have a Christian President that's been there for 5yrs, before that, you had OBJ that was there for 8yrs...

It's starting to seem to me that Nigerian Christians are actually more intolerant than their Muslim counterparts than I previously thought.

Why is your ARITHMETIC so deficient
Jonathan has been president for five years

BTW, why stop with Jona and OBJoke when Nigeria has been in existence for 54 years?

NoContract:
For every one repaired, a dozen more are abandoned.
That's how Nigeria is.

Thank you for REMINDING us of how our country is since most of us already know.
We will appreciate MORE if you could let us know how we can make it what it should be.
Can you do that

Can anyone guess what % of Oyo state is provided with this BASIC modern essential, TAP water

Ademola1964:
It is a good thing. Nigerian governments have been plagued wiith many abandoned projects. So I appreciate Government of. Oyo State.

This is a very good observation.
However, the Asejire dam has been in existence for decades, what Ajimobi did can more appropriately described as Turn Around Maintenance ( a major overhaul/refurbishing) of the old dam.

OAUTemitayo:
While acknowledging the contributions of the bank towards the provision of pipe borne water for the people of the state, Governor Ajimobi said that his administration had successfully rehabilitated the Asejire Water Plant, which had been moribund for over 17 years.

With the inauguration of the rehabilitated water plant, he said that water supply to the city of Ibadan and its environs had improved drastically.

That is something we should do more regularly so things do not break down completely.
It would be interesting to know how much the rehabilitation cost and the loan from AfDB.

I implore Govt to visit Felele to avert millions of water been wasted anytime the water runs. It will be futile venture if the water is being wasted.

Is there no LGA Councillor for the Felele area who is also "govt"
What do you think he receives a guaranteed N300,000 monthly for?
That's a lot of money for loafing around, if you ask me!

Who else remembers that MILITARY Governor Ike Nwosu also borrowed N1 billion (or $1 billion) under Abacha who also inaugurated a water project in Ibadan some 20 years ago now

agitator:
You mean PDP had been ruling the state for the past 13years?

Good question.
Let's hope he can answer.

This is a good initiative.
Our people should be provided with TAP water which is a very BASIC element of modern life.
No debate!
I will look at the details later for any further relevant comment.

SLIDEwaxie:
between Nigerian and youths, put "igbo" and the rest of your statement about them is true!

I see that the mod here is HACKING my posts again while allowing those favourable to APC to stand just as he did for the Falomo 115 metres bridge SCAM of N2.5 billion.
Keep trying to cover the TRUTH.
I wish you plenty of luck as you will surely need it

PassingShot:
Nigerian youths - always selling their future for a plate of porridge.

Simply borrowing from the JagaBandit's playbook
Did he not throw his Association of Conmen in Nigeria, ACN candidate RibaduN under the bus after collecting his personal stomach infrastructure from Aso Rock just before the 2011 elections and promptly delivered south west + Edo state votes

So how do we know the picture reflects the title

Given the very high propensity to tell LIES by Arewa People's Congress, APC sympathisers, I would look out the window to confirm if they tell me Good morning

eleojo23:
Really?

Abi o!
Stranger than fiction!!! Perhaps we can expect a sequel from the OP =>

Why NEGATIVE Thinking Can be Good for You

egift:
If I say to you that "the chicken has come home to roast", does that mean in any way I am calling you a "Chicken"?

(Jonathan has destroyed Nigeria's educational sector)

That level of English is taught in primary and secondary schools where LGA chairmen and state governors are responsible for ensuring ALL our children are in school with professionally qualified teachers who are well motivated by being paid regularly. Instead they are engaging youth corpers every year and increasing unemployment.

Perhaps a clueless follower of a daft old soldier won't know these pertinent issues of governance

Iykopee:
^^^ the OP is perenially jobless. Ask a newly registered NL who owns NL, he/she might mistake the OP for seun due to his constant online appearances with numerous posts but says little of any value.

He is actually not jobless at least internet warrior for the supporters of APC HYPOCRISY and LIE fabricating system na work too

berem:
maybe he's gay.
Anonimi- chasing APC supporters since 1952.

Chasing HYPOCRITES and LIARS would be more appropriate.

omenka:
Lol. You kidding right??

Did you ask Fash'OLE that question for the Falomo 115 metres bridge (without access road oh!) at the cost of N2.5 billion
Arewa People's Congress, APC simply a bunch of smart but worse ROGUES.
No wonder Alhaji Babatunde Raji Fashola was playing daft by saying the FoI does not apply to Lagos state- a bill that was passed by the National assembly oh

Those LASU students might be correct after all with one of their protest placards reading =>

Being a SAN does not mean you are SANE

Did the clueless governor not finally reverse the 1,000% hiked fees after so much UNNECESSARY, AVOIDABLE stress

Keneking:
Does that look like a 10KM access road?

So you wan see the entire 10km for inside picture?
Make you try Google earth, you might get lucky if they have updated already.

diluminati:
WOW

These crimes are enough for impeachment, then imprisonment and then firing squad and thereafter to hanging and then sentenced to life imprisonment without parole

I thought the Arewa People's Congress, APC was in majority at the House of Reps. Any idea why they did not initiate impeachment proceedings
Perhaps because they are MORE corrupt and have committed MORE crimes

Keneking:
Anyway after reading this post, i conclude that 400mtrs bridge and 10 Km access road is interesting. But you know the drift, until I see the access road pictures, map between the two states and the access road layout, the location of the bridge

Oga I fit find recommended glasses give you oh since the access road dey for the photo gadagba

LeSaint:
It is NOT muslim-muslim that will govern Nigeria if they win - it will be Buhari-Fashola.
The one a strict disciplinarian/anti-corruption crusader, and the other a great strategist/planner/organizer.

Na true you talk, bro.
Fashola is a master strategist how to steal the money he receives on OUR behalf from Abuja as well the IGR from our pockets, wallets, bags and handbags through FRAUDULENT, hyper-inflated yoyo projects such as this Falomo 115 metres bridge costing N2.5 billion

Fashola Inaugurates N2.5bn Falomo Bridge

IKOYI—Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, Wednesday, commissioned the N2.5 billion Falomo On–Ramp Bridge.

At the commissioning of the 115-metres long bridge, Fashola explained that the project, executed in collaboration with Lekki Concession Company, LCC, (again?) under a Public Private Partnership, was aimed at easing traffic gridlock in Lagos Island.


Falomo-bridge
He said the project, which was constructed by LCC, was the first of such magnitude and specification to be built anywhere in the country. (this man mouth too sweet for tell LIES abeg!)

Fashola said: ”This is a deliverable of the 30-year PPP in 2006, pursuant to which the company is already rehabilitating and upgrading approximately 50 kilometres of the Eti-Osa Lekki–Epe Expressway and will also construct 20 kilometres of the Coastal Road.

”Of the N50 billion long- term finanacing raised by Lekki Concession Company to execute the on-going works on the Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe Expressway, a substantial portion of which represents Foreign Direct Investment into Lagos State, N2.5 billion had been used to construct the new Falomo On–Ramp, that we will all be driving on soon.”

He said the bridge would improve travel time for motorists travelling from Ikoyi from the Westbound lanes of Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, noting that motorists would now be able to access Ozumba Mbadiwe and Adeyemo Alakija streets’ intercession.

Mr. Opuiyo Oforiokuma, MD/CEO of LCC, said the firm had undertaken the construction of many projects on concession arrangement with the state government.

Special Adviser and Director-General, Office of Public Private Partnership, Lagos State, Mr. Ayo Gbeleyi, said the bridge is among the road works that constitutes the state infrastructure projects meant to complement the ongoing contentious Eti-Osa-Lekki –epe Expressway rehabilitation and expansion.

‘’It is a clear testimony of the enormous benefits derivable from PPP where private sector resources and expertise are leveraged by government in accelerating the delivery of public infrastructure land service to the people. This is therefore just one of the many projects currently under procurement with others in the pipeline,” he added.

will not spoil Seun's hard work of making this platform available to all Nigerians for balanced views.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Roflmaoooooooooo

So this bridge cost almost $50million??!

Which mod is allowing one set of posts without allowing others to show that APC is doing WORSE on the CORRUPTION score card
I hope Seun is aware of this attempt to disrupt a forum he has worked so hard to build as a balanced platform.

fortunes0215:
But the same Osun returned him for another four years. Are you wiser than them?

That is because PDP being a democratic party did not impose a more capable candidate than Omisore on the state branch. Imagine if they had nominated Isiaka Adeleke, it would have been like Ekiti where Fayose, (Ekun oko APC - Tiger devouring APC).
Meanwhile more on the SENSELESS religious violence instigated by daft Aregberascal =>

Aregbesola visits Baptist High School, Iwo; brings Muslim, Christian parents together

Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola today visited Baptist High School, where some students protested over the wearing of hijab (veil) by female students.

Aregbesola explained that his government neither approved nor disapproved of the use of hijab in any school.

The governor while making his remarks at the peace meeting between the Muslim community and Christian Community at the Baptist High School in Iwo and the distribution and assessment of the performance of Opon Imo, noted that it is the court’s position that the status quo ante be maintained until the case is determined.

Aregbesola stressed that his government being a product of rule of law is guided in all its actions in strict adherence to the principles of the rule of law in the state.

He said, “We are a product of the rule of law and this has guided all our actions. As we have said in the past, we have not approved the use of hijab in any school. Let me repeat this again for the hearing of mischief-makers who have been working tirelessly to bring religious war to our state.

“Those prompting chaos and conflagration in our state; those who have well established antecedent of violent behaviour; those sowing the seed of discord in our schools and community and inciting one religion against another, as we have said in the past, government did not at any time approve the use of hijab in any school, before the matter went to court. It is the court’s position that the status quo ante be maintained until the case is determined. It is the court’s position that the status quo ante be maintained until the case is determined. ”The governor told the gathering.

He pointed out that government has set up a committee on discipline in public schools and when the report is out government shall begin to enforce discipline in all schools.

The Deputy Governor, Mrs Grace Titilayo-Tomori who doubles as the commissioner for Education who spoke earlier said, “Peace must be a permanent feature not only in our schools but every facets of the state. So, where there is pocket of disturbances, government will respond swiftly in restoring peace and order. This is what has been demonstrated at the peace meeting held at Baptist High school premises”.

Speaking earlier, representatives of the 3 religions lamented that things that are ordinarily unconnected with learning and knowledge have now been constituting impediments to students’ progress in their studies.

They stated that none of them supported the unconventional ways students have been dressing to school.

Rev Bayo Ademuyiwa, who spoke on behalf of the Christians said, “We are in support of programmes and policies of government on Education since the last three years. We also express our disappointment over the crisis playing out in Baptist High School for sometimes. We want to tell government that we are lovers of peace and we abhor disunity.”

Alhaji Idris Magaji, who spoke on behalf of Muslim parents, said the three religions have the responsibility to fight against indecent dressing and promote love and unity among all students regardless of their faiths.

“We are a peace loving people. And we are proud of the many innovations in the education sector of the current administration. We must not allow agents of destablisation to deprive our children the quality education for which the current administration has been working,” Magaji said.

Mr. Ifawole Anifalaje, who also spoke on behalf of the traditional religious worshippers, prayed that peace reigned in the community and that the vision of the present administration for quality education be realized.

“We don’t have problem with any faith. What we also want is the progress of our children. We were never part of the plan to make any masquerade to come to Baptist High School. Some other people looking for trouble must have instigated the coming of a masquerade to the school compound.

whu told u dat there is religious chaos in osun..mind u i live in osun nd d man is d bst gou we ever had

Perhaps na me invent this news item abi

theshadyexpress:
Christians in Osun State, especially members of the Osun Baptists Conference, on Monday protested against the attempted merger of Muslim students wearing hijab with the Baptists High School, Iwo, under the new education policy introduced by Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

Aregbesola last week inaugurated a new education policy in Osun, which the governor said had necessitated re-classification and merger of public schools in the state to reflect the new education system.

The governor, who expressed worry about the protest, however, urged the people to cooperate with the school restructuring, saying the policy was introduced as part of transformation of the education sector by his government.

Aggrieved Christians armed with Holy Bible and Hymn books trooped to the Baptists High School as early as 7:30am and dislodged the students and prevented teachers from entering the school premises.

They said that the merger of the schools, if allowed to succeed, would obliterate the Baptist heritage and that they would not allow hijab-wearing students in a school founded by Christian missionaries.

The Christian protesters defied the presence of armed security operatives and insisted that they would not allow the merger to work.

Presiding minister for the 35 Baptist churches in Iwo land, Rev. Bayo Ademuyiwa, said the church had nothing against the government’s attempt to equip schools in the state but he said that the church would not allow any attempt to erase its identity and heritage.

He said, “Our forefathers and missionaries sacrificed their lives, resources and everything to establish schools, reputable schools with morals and values and that is why the Baptists in Iwo land are here to protect our schools.

“Without any doubt, the Baptists in the state are known for excellence, decorum and dignity. These virtues are highly cherished by the Nigerian Baptist Convention and this is the reason why the Baptists are making these two submissions which are, “Baptists in Iwo land say no to merger of schools and Baptists in Iwo land say no to the use of hijab in Baptists schools.

“While we welcome genuine efforts to provide modern infrastructures and equipments in schools in Osun State, the Baptists see merger of schools as a step in the wrong direction as it will rob us of our identity and bring more pains to parents and students.”

Chairman, Osun State Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Elisha Ogundiya, also said that CAN would not allow any programme to erase the legacy of the Church.

Ogundiya said, “We have maintained this stand from inception and we will continue to defend lawfully what belong to us as Christians in the state.”

“As a major stakeholder in the state, the leadership of CAN expects the state government to invite us to discuss this issue without delay. We wish to explain it clearly that at no time did the new leadership of CAN in Osun held any meeting with the state government on the issue of merger of schools.”

But the governor, in a statement by his media aide, Semiu Okanlawon, allayed the fears , promising that the interest of all groups, organisations, religious and social bodies would be protected in the ongoing re-classification and reform.

He urged the people of the state to discountenance and dismiss “any untrue and baseless insinuation” critics of the government might be spreading across the States.

Ohun ti ko da, ko da ni ohun je - bad thing nor get another name, na bad thing

Aregberascal is clueless about ensuring ALL our children are in school.
Maybe he wants to compete with his friends & political associates in the Arewa People's Congress, APC on producing the most almajiris

Hello Peep, i need ur advise,, i am married to a woman i tot was of a certain characteristics upon marriage and two years down the line my only source of happiness are the two children (Boy and Girl) we have.

Despite all I do (as bread winner) to please her she is not appreciative, she disrespect me, she doesn't cook for me, she complains too much, she compares me to her father daily even though i have told her her mother has a better character than her that is why her father would do anything to please her.

I am always unhappy becos of her character, i am thinking of seeking divorce.

What do u guys think?

I think you should open a brand new fresh account to open a very private post like this.......

Obiagelli:
What is the primary aim of a political party if not to win office

It's not about creating and sharing an ideology about how their particular society- country, state, LGA etc should function for the people's benefit
Interesting perspective, innit?

econity:
This is one of the reason why i'll not and will never vote for Jonathan,
Buhari built rd for north what did Jonathan do for South? Nothing, rather he continued where you think buhari stopped by building more rd for d north.
Buhari gave north political post while all d security chiefs are still for d north under Jonathan. You know see that one abi.
You have nothing against Buhari until u prove to me that he is corrupt.
Buhari all d way.

You obviously do not understand the geo-politics and military set up of our country.
Just remember that the north has 19 states to the south's 17 today and the number of federal appointments including seats in the FEDERAL legislature- Senate and House of Reps- is on that basis.

saintkash:
common sense should help in ur argument. ... ryr from time the North has the largest population, more states, more people in government n more in d military. .. so wat do u think

co

I would be MORE concerned about how four regions -three in the south and one in the north- in 1966 yielded 36 states with 19 in the north and 16 in the south today =>
