CFCfan: Lol. The conveyor belt sounds like a generator? That's too sad.
That's why I support the LASG's efforts in building the Lekki airport. It would give MMIA some much needed competition.

Have you seen the Lekki airport by LASG

The quote hereunder is an extract from the OP with elements that need to be taken into consideration BEFORE making any comment =>

Over N174bn has been spent by the Federal Government on airport remodelling across the country in the last three years.

Following the removal of the former Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, there had been fears that the projects, which she initiated, would be abandoned due to inadequate funding.

However, the then Supervising Minister of Aviation, Dr. Samuel Ortom, had assured Nigerians that the ministry was making adequate efforts to ensure that the projects were completed within the stipulated period.

barcanista: guy let us see the "factory" first before concluding

Na true you talk make we see the "factory" for SYRINGES first.

Meanwhile you may want to have this in mind about the cost of setting up a factory for making essentially NEEDLES and small tiny plastic bottles =>

Aregbesola Commissions $50m ICT Factory In Osun

Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has stressed that technology has become an escape route out of poverty in the continent, just as he last Thursday commissioned $50 million Information, Communication Technology (ICT) factory in Ilesa.
Named Adulawo Technology City, the ICT factory, which would create ten thousand jobs directly and indirectly, has the capacity to produce five thousand mobile phones, in addition to two thousand, five hundred computer sets on a daily basis.
The RLG- Adulawo Technology City, which can also produce LED television sets and other devices, promised to be one of the most productive assets in the State of Osun, while creating employment and revolutionizing the industry through assemblage of electronic communication devices.

From: http://www.osundefender.org/?p=149118

$5 million is about N8 billion oh compared to Amaechi's N45 billion

It seems someone here already knows about the "factory":

UnknownT: No b govt get that company oh! Na Amaechi get am oh!! E good sha but dem sabi owe their workers oh! My guy work run!

Any chance to describe to us how the "factory" actually is so we can have a fair idea of the cost of setting it up
Thanks.

I also notice that it is Amaechi's personal property.....anyone knows how much is the salary of a governor
Has anyone seen Amaechi's asset declaration and annual Personal Income Tax returns

egift: Mathematically,

If Dokubo = Mandela (according to anonimi)
And Jonathan = Mandela (according to NTA)

Therefore, Asari Dokubo = Goodluck Jonathan

You must have been a very poor mathematics student if this is how you reason
Probably taught by one of those youth corper teachers in secondary schools due to your state governor not regularly recruiting PROFESSIONALLY qualified teachers to do the job and reduce youth UNEMPLOYMENT while also increasing education standards.
Quite a shame, innit

Interesting- 45 billion for a SYRINGE factory
Amaechi don mumu Rivers people finish

I believe Mandela was not only called a criminal and jailed he was also labelled a terrorist by the US.
Perhaps you are ignorant of these pertinent details.

arresa: Are you saying your GEJ appointed judges are incompetent or this is just another excuse to justify GEJ's laziness and incompetence.?

Given that you are a political jobber with Lagos state that bungled and mishandled Al-Mustapha's trial, both PROSECUTION & judgement and the Synagogue building collapse DEATHS, your thinking that everyone is as LAZY & INCOMPETENT as your boss might be understandable.

Who will JUDGE him if/when prosecuted?

barcanista: it is a shame that such person like Atiku is working a free man.

He is WALKing a free man because as an Arewa People's Congress, APC member he is NOT corrupt.
According to egift ONLY those still in PDP are corrupt =>

egift: For those supporting the Government of National Unity (normally it should work), but doing so under the corruption of PDP is where the problem lies. Even when Yar'Adua tried, they still wanted everyone to join PDP.

I guess you are saying that STATE governors & LGA Chairmen etc on the platform of APC are not corrupt. Is that what you are really saying
Please confirm. Thanks.

Perhaps the success is becoming OVERWHELMING that SR stands to lose further readership if it continues to ignore publishing such reports.

Kagarko: Nigeria 2015 sai APC
Sai General Muhammad Buhari.
We want people of integrity, honesty and above all passionate about the Nigerian Project.

Do you mind explaining to us the key elements of this "Nigerian Project" about which General Muhammadu Buhari is supposed to be passionate.
Or it is just ordinary sweet, oyoyo TALK as usual to swindle the clueless followers of the quintessential ethno-religious bigot

It is a good thing to have an opposition party but one has to be careful what the opposition has to offer before taking their STORIES as fact.

Was it not this same Arewa People's Congress, APC that was opposed (yes that word again) to emergency rule extension in the three BH affected states because of election concerns just some five months ago =>

APC Warns against Extension of Emergency Rule, Says it's Counterproductive
28 Apr 2014

All Progressives Congress (APC) at the weekend warned those it described as trying to stampede President Goodluck Jonathan into sacking three North-east governors by appointing military administrators after the expiration of the state of emergency to have a rethink because of the grave consequences the action may have on the polity.

The party said such a move would not be in the interest of either the people they intend to protect or the country.

The Interim National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, who gave the warning in Ilorin, Kwara State at the weekend while speaking with journalists on the state of the nation, however said, "the extension of the emergency rule in those three states will be between the President and the National Assembly."

According to him,"the President can not declare the emergency without securing two third majority of members of the National Assembly."

He said, "There are certain issues to be considered by the National Assembly before they would grant the extension. What is more worrisome is the call by some people to the effect that the democratic structures in those states should be dismantled.

"That the governor should be sacked. On the contrary, one can not fight insurgency when the political structure is not in place. So I hope those who are trying to stampede the President into sacking those governors will have a rethink because if they do not, the consequences will not be in the interest of either the people you want to protect or the country."

The APC chieftain also said the battle against insurgency bedevilling the country cannot be fought by the federal government alone, saying that the fight needs active cooperation and participation of all stakeholders in the country.

He advised the federal government to reach out to the affected governors as the number one stakeholders in the states.

"I hope that the FG, having got the assurance of the governors, reaches out to these governors. You see, you can't combat insurgency without active cooperation and participation of major stakeholders and the No. 1 stakeholder in any state is the governor.
"We hope at the end of the meeting, the FG will be less evasive, less defensive and reach out more to the governors and understand that at the end of the day, every security is local, "he said.
Speaking on the letter written by Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State on prevalent insurgency in the area, Muhammed said the governor was not speaking for the APC.

"I think people are getting it wrong. Governor Nyako as governor and leader of the North, expressed his views on what he perceived is going on. When did that one become a party matter? The issue of condemnation or not, let's take a look at the issue and message he said. I have read the letter. He's making certain allegations and those allegations he believes them and proffered solutions to issues raised. Nyako was not speaking for APC. He was speaking as a governor and the letter was not addressed to APC, but to northern governors," he said.

These guys are simply interested in grabbing power for their sponsors and return us to the old status quo of ROT & DECAY that the Jonathan/Sambo administration is trying very hard to fix and revive.
For how long shall we allow APC to just be DECEIVING us with all their lies as if we are clueless MUMUS that they can manipulate so easily

double3: I'm surprised that there is jubilation in the air because ajeokuta steel company could "FORM"(for non engineering students forming in this scenario is similar to importing flour and baking kpof kpof or chin chin ) a metal. That company was initially designed to produce iron and steel from its ore(hermitite) and not to convert billet into finished products. What ajeokuta steel is doing now is merely to melt imported steel and form rods and other products, quite a shame if you ask me. Nigerians love swimming in the waters of mediocrity.

This is quite revealing.
However from an engineering and business perspective is it not better to have this midway revival as a stepping stone to getting back to the grand initial plan of producing steel from iron ore, coal etc?
What do you think, given that we have wasted so much billions for three decades doing absolutely nothing

luvinhubby: Nigeria is steadily being transformed by a "clueless" man, hated by many simply out of petty ethno-religious bigotry.

Can't believe i'm saying this, but , GEJ till 2019.

Even though you are a late comer, allow me to still say Welcome Better late than never and spread the better news to dilute the unwarranted PROPAGANDA of the real clueless ones trying to confuse our folks.

As predicted more will continue seeing the light as stated hereunder =>

anonimi: If it is simply by not being able to TALK like a Smooth Operator that one is "clueless", then you might be right with your assessment.

However, if it is by performance and delivery on one's constitutional responsibility compared to one's predecessors and those jostling to replace GEJ in his job, then he is not in anyway clueless.

Those who want to be wooed & carried away by those who TALK only but deliver nothing are free to do so. Their own cluelessness will soon dawn on them, if it already has not!

Another hypocite can still emerge after 2015. They're all the same.

E go still better!

HOW will it get better
Please educate us.
Thanks.

Clone2020: China became a world power in 30 yrs because they allowed foreign investors to bring in ideas and take advantage of very cheap labor. Cost of labor is slowly creeping up in China and the middle class is rapidly growing, so therefore Africa is poised to be the next China or even better. Cost of labor is still mere peanuts in Nigeria, once electricity becomes stable, watch and see Nigeria grow.

Let us not forget that TAP water provision, a constitutional RESPONSIBILITY of our do-nothing STATE governors is also essential for the much anticipated industrial revolution.

Has Fashola started paying them the MINIMUM wage of N18,000 or he is still underpaying them

Lagos street sweepers groan under poor pay
September 28, 2013

An aged man (name withheld) who works on a road within Isolo area told Saturday Vanguard that when he started in 2009, he was paid N8,500 per month, and only recently it was increased to N10,000.

Another man in Ejigbo area had been on his beat and the same route for three years. He earns N12,000 as well. Others who spoke around Lagos Island said there is need for an insurance policy covering sweepers.

“Up till now, sweepers are yet to be covered with insurance policy against accidents.

“This issue of insurance has dragged on for too long and we implore the governor to assist in resolving any impediment to the insurance policy.

“Street sweepers’ medical issues should be taken seriously because we know that this has not been heeded by healthcare centres.” One common word to them was that government should improve their welfare package. The man in Isolo for instance, complained that his salary is not enough to meet his demands. He also lamented that he had not been allowed to go on leave in three years, while the one in Ejigbo calls on government to extend to sweepers seasonal gifts as accorded to other civil servants especially during festive periods.

Abi nor be that be the BASIC thing to start with before the photo-op PR?
Maybe he wants them to beg money from motorists and passers-by instead of doing a really good job as many Lagosians and other LUCKY Nigerians are doing in London and other big European and North American cities

At least there has been an "increase in the IGR to N237 billion in 2013 from N15 billion in 1999", so no excuse for not paying the LEGAL amount for workers instead of sharing to political jobbers like this OP

omenka: You are the one embarrassing yourself here. If they decide to name anyone as a trusted negotiator, how does that affect the person?? Did anyone call Wole Soyinka a militant when he was named to represent them in talks with the govt?? So far Buhari has weathered the storm of propaganda to taint his image but you people's god, even without being attacked, has no credibility whatsoever!! He swims in filth, wining and dining with convicted crooks, fugitives, terrorists, ritualists, and gunrunners!!

And for the record, every single bigshot and small shot who has been fingerred in terrorist activities are known allies of your god.

Deal with that.

Why are you so focused on Buhari being named as a TRUSTED negotiator on behalf of Boko Haram?
The OLD news report that I quoted in my post was to show your BASELESS & FRAUDULENT assertion that the federal administration is NOW considering negotiation. Why did you tell such a LIE

For what objective? Is that not a CLUELESS thing for you to do

omongbatim: Corrupt Yoruba pastors. I just pity people, especially Igbos, who fall mugu for all these Yoruba con men parading as pastors.

Is Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Reverend King also a Yoruba

Appeal court affirms death sentence on Rev. King

The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos, yesterday, affirmed the death sentence passed on the General Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Reverend King by Justice Joseph Oyewole of the Lagos State High Court.

’’I hereby rule that the prosecution effectively discharged the burden of proof on it. This appeal is devoid of any basis and accordingly fails.

The judgment of the High Court is hereby affirmed, and the conviction imposed on the appellant, (which is death by hanging) is also affirmed,” Justice Fatimo Akinbami who read the judgement held. The two other members of the panel of Justices, Amina Augie and Ibrahim Saulawa concurred with the lead judgement.

Ezeugo was sentenced to death by the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, on January 11, 2007 for the murder of one of his church members, Ann Uzoh. Ezeugo was arraigned on September 26, 2006 on a six-count charge of attempted murder and murder but he pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

The prosecutor had said that the convict poured petrol on the deceased and five other persons and that Uzoh died on August 2, 2006; 11 days after the act was perpetrated on her.

1United1: When i posted the news earlier today, His gullible followers asked for audio/video evidence and I responded that those journalist were yet to refute it, they asked me to go and sit down. The fact is that, The guy that blew the lid has enough evidence as i was told. He is simply waiting for TB Joshua or any of his followers to react before unleashing more damming evidence, which i believe could be video tape.

I am giving Fashola, 1 weeks to either commence investigation or lose my vote/support!

It seems that Fashola has QUIETLY established a panel aka committee to buy time in the guise of doing investigation:

A former Vice-Chairman, Nigerian Institute of Architects, who is a member of the Building Collapse Prevention Guild Technical Committee on the investigation of the collapsed building at the Synagogue Church, Olufemi Shodunke, explained that the structural integrity test to be carried out on the building would involve professional judgement to determine its efficacy.

Shodunke said the professionals responsible for the construction of the collapsed guest house had yet to be identified and that the answer was important to the investigation of the committee.

An estate surveyor, Kayode Ogunji, who is also a member of the collapsed building investigation panel, said, "In the building language, when you have an 'X' sign labelled on a structure, it means there is a distress in that building; it means there is something wrong with the construction. It is either the building is tilting, sinking or the right materials were not used, and even before, during and after construction, if these tilts are discovered, the authority in charge will now come over there to tell the builders to stop.

omenka: I hope those retarded TANoids would be humble enough to come in here and admit their foolishness over calling those who prescribe negotiations to free the girls derogatory names. Their Lord and commander is about to do the deed.

Oh, wait, this is just western propaganda in connivance with the opposition to smear the president's legacy!!

You must be suffering from a very SHORT memory circuit indeed
Did the Jonathan federal administration not initiate negotiations years ago and Boko Haram even named General Buhari as one of those they TRUSTED to REPRESENT them in the negotiations

Boko Haram picks Buhari to moderate talks with govt
November 2, 2012


https://thenationonlineng.net/new/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Buhari11.jpg

Islamic sect Boko Haram yesterday opted for dialogue with the Federal Government, picking former military leader Gen. Muhammadu Buhari as mediator.

Buhari contested last year’s presidential election on the platform of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) against President Goodluck Jonathan.

Boko Haram also proposed Saudi Arabia for the talks, which the government had for long suggested to ascertain the sect’s grievances.

Others, it suggested as mediators are Dr. Shettima Ali Monguno, Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim, Ambassador Gaji Galtimari, Mrs Aisha Alkali Wakil and her husband Alkali Wakil.

Boko Haram named Abu Mohammed Ibn Abdulaziz, said to be the next in command to its leader, Abubakar Shekau, as leader of its team to the talks. He will be joined by Abu Abbas, Sheik Ibrahim Yusuf, Sheik Sani, Kantagora and the detained Mamman Nur.

I think you should STOP trying to play half-smart only to embarrass yourself and show that you are CLUELESS about the things you write to cast BASELESS aspersions on the Jonathan/Sambo federal administration

Ventura1: Were they there on his invitation? If it is a press conference called by him it is a norm for the host to augment the cost of their visit, It is not a new thing. Beside what is the content of the tape being handed out to the journalist?

Do you think journalists from CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera etc in developed countries also EXPECT that it is "a norm" to augment the cost of their visit because their media organisations are broke-ass, loss-making ventures ready to compromise their objectivity

Onegai: A colleague told me about his female friend, who was married with no kids. One day, her neighbour called her and said "I'm sure it's all these jeans you're wearing that's causing your infertility, you need to stop and be more womanly and pray and attend midweek service and this church and that..."

The wife smiled (what else could she do??) and walked away. Her husband had been battling Cancer for some time and treatments were affecting him. Luckily he beat it and survived, and kids came. But the nonsense of that "well-meaning" Neighbour

It is always the woman's fault, even when the husband is medically incapable, it is something she's doing wrong. That's the Nigerian way. It's not lack of knowledge worrying them, it is refusal EVEN in the face of knowledge, to accept any other method. Why would a man subject his wife to several tests and allow his family to harass her, and refuse to do a test? They should both do tests. Even lifestyle affects the libido and spermcount.

Have you considered the fact that the man goes to the woman's family to marry her away from there and the attendant expectations
Perhaps when we evolve further and people don't marry or marry on EQUAL basis things might start to be different.

PS: This is not to say I endorse the lopsided pressure on just one of the partners for fertility wahala oh!

egift: 1. You cannot be a good man and preside over the most corrupt administration. (Either you are corrupt or you have learn it).
2. GEJ has been constantly describe as a "clueless" because he has no unique ideas, do not understand the current challenges, is not proactive, keep quiet when everyone is expecting him to voice out, sending Abati and co when he finally said a thing (you will not know if to hold Abati or Jonathan responsible for the fallout of the terrible statement that was release), etc.

On why PDP are stuck with him? He has the coins and the pot of Honey, they all want to either maintain the loots flowing into their pocket OR remain in their position in hope "peppers" will fall their side. Take the National Purse away from Jonathan, he will be sitting in the cold alone.

Like Sani Abacha (who was adopted by the 5 political parties that existed in his time), Jonathan has muscled and bought his way to lone candidate of the PDP.

If it is simply by not being able to TALK like a Smooth Operator that one is "clueless", then you might be right with your assessment.

However, if it is by performance and delivery on one's constitutional responsibility compared to one's predecessors and those jostling to replace GEJ in his job, then he is not in anyway clueless.

Those who want to be wooed & carried away by those who TALK only but deliver nothing are free to do so. Their own cluelessness will soon dawn on them, if it already has not!

Dee60: Lagos State Governor, a lawyer has not visited so as not to rubber stamp possible illegality. Now the President visits! A bit shoddy isn't it?

Fashola ALSO visited earlier and is yet to do anything PUNITIVE & REMEDIAL.
What do you say about that

Tolexander: he has something to offer!

He is going there to condemn the incidence as usual and set up a committee to look into it

Is that not what the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN)who is constitutionally RESPONSIBLE for this avoidable DEATHS and ensuring it never happens anymore doing

barcanista: What won't work? As in how? Did you follow the case of Emeka Ezeugo aka Rev King? See there is a clear case of negligence and manslaughter here. It is "involuntary" because there wasn't an intent to cause death(or it can't be proven that their was an intent), hence the involuntary route. It will serve as deterrent to many others.

Thanks for your very useful example-filled comment.

Sometimes you wonder why so many of us find it easier to make EXCUSES rather than do the right thing

Do American VIPs not also visit Evil Genius, Maradona IBB at his Minna Hilltop mansion since he is still considered RELEVANT in Nigeria's scheme of things
So it is logical that since we yorubas have ALLOWED a common CRIMINAL who claims to be called Thief'nubu as OUR Asiwaju who can deliver VOTES overnight to GEJ the Americans will also visit him. Dem nor send us, given that we have CHOSEN to be CLUELESS DAFTS led by the Smooth Criminal
