Nice title wey dem give the man- Lagos based Osun robber.
Just like our Lagos based Osun ajele/rent collector, appointed by the JagaBandit

BishopMagic: He is claiming 62 but I know that is a lie as everything about him is a lie but putting that aside Tinubu is really sick.

This is Tinubu in 1999

www.nairaland.com/attachments/701127_tinubaba_jpg17e7cea4bbe5e7e62565f69992766144

look at the way he has wasted away

Maybe, just maybe he has the OTHER virus

The JagaBandit looks really sick.
All the stolen billions of Lagos and yoruba states cannot obviously buy health talk less of youth

Let them meet both secretly, nicodemously and even opendentialy.
We the PEOPLE will decide not they our slave masters.

atlwireles: Who told you Nigeria generates 4000MW?

Abeg spare the guy.
He is confusing Nigeria (the country) with Nigerian government. If not for the confusion he would have taken note of this post right here on this same thread
SELECTIVE blindness perhaps

atlwireles: Dangote, Others Generate 15,000MW Of Electricity From Private Plants

VENTURES AFRICA – BUA Group, Honeywell and Dangote Group in conjunction with similar manufacturing plants across Nigeria are generating more than 15,000 megawatts of electricity used by the companies off the national grid, Dr. Lazarus Angbazo, President and CEO of General Electric (GE) Nigeria disclosed at the weekend.

According to him, the captive power of 15,000mw is sufficient for the private companies to operate.

“When I say they are captive, I am talking about consumer industrial groups that are self-generating, like the Dangote Cement, Bua Cement, Lafarge Cement and others,” explained Angbazo.

He said due to inefficient power supply, these groups are constructing private power plants to ensure their operations are not affected by epileptic supply of electricity in the country.

“We are in partnership with Dangote, for example, on Obajana, Ibese, Shagamu and Gboko and we are the one providing the power,” local news platform, local daily ThisDay quoted him as saying.

wristwatch: Seriously what is wrong with Nigerians hailing an incompetent person ranting GEJ till Christ comes! I dnt hv time for this. Now back 2 d topic, 1.5million what If they actually created the jobs has claimed by their statistics, d rate of emplyment wud have reduced. Mayb they are referring 2 drivers, cleaners and factory workers who are underpaid becos considering how d indians, indonesians and chinese treat nigerian employees, they will neva treat their dogs like that.

What is Nigeria's current and PAST rates of unemployment from a RELIABLE statistics source

RotrEmmanuel: All this grama and majority are still jobless.

Because majority are holding PAPER certificates but do not have EMPLOYABLE skills having been taught by youth corpers in secondary schools rather than our state governors recruiting PROFESSIONAL qualified teachers, for example.

PS: Anyone who needs a job will have to re-tool and re-educate him/herself in line with realistic employment opportunities. These include TECHNICAL and VOCATIONAL skills that focus on PRECISION and emphasises CONTINUOUS improvement.

olapluto: Last year, it was 4 million jobs, add that to this 1.58 million. Yet unemployment rate is going up everyday. Who is deceiving who?
People Deceiveing People (PDP)

What do you gain from telling blatant LIES even when you are confronted by naked truth
Right there in the OP was this:

The new jobs created in 2013 represent 48 percent upgrade from 1.071 million estimated totals for 2012, data from the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) shows.

“The increase has been as a result of improved performance in production output and the corresponding increase in the rate of capacity utilisation,” says MAN.

Please show us where you got 4 million jobs from manufacturing last year (i.e. 2013), otherwise you are not only a confirmed LIAR but also of the CLUELESS variety

OtunbaJega: My opinion:

1) The figure was inflated
2) Manufacturing jobs = Factory workers... Chinese, indian and lebanese companies come to mind.. Unskilled labour, No workers compensation, No job security, long working hours (including night shift and overtime), low wages, hazardous workplace conditions.... That one na job?
3) Can they also tell us how many jobs were lost due to epileptic power supply, corruption and poor economic policies

yeye dey smell....

Lest I forget, PDP deceiving gullible Nigerians since 1999

I guess since opinion is an a*s everybody gets one.
Meanwhile SOME QUICK facts that BLIND MISCHIEVOUS, don't-want-anything-good-for-my-country pessimists may have missed:

- the DATA was released by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, MAN.
- the safety & welfare of workers rests as much with the LGA and states where the factories are located through regular INSPECTIONS by adequately MOTIVATED agents of these tiers of government.

For how long shall we remain CLUELESS MUGUS

aguiyi: they are still too expensive.

the I10 should not be more than $5000 which is around NGN800k or what is the price in Korea

What is the price of Ghana/Nigeria produced yam in the UK, USA

What is the price of TV in China, Korea

misterjosh: Chei, d pple is dat area sef too dirty, dme no dey do environmental? They just use style resemble their local gvt chairman, none of dem wan work.

And you are too MUMU.
The LGA has the constitutional RESPONSIBILITY for environmental sanitation of common public areas like gutters, roads, parks etc. Please see below:

Immacula8: According to the CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA 1999

1. The main functions of a local government council are as follows:
(a) the consideration and the making of recommendations to a State commission on economic planning or any similar body on -
(i) the economic development of the State, particularly in so far as the areas of authority of the council and of the State are affected, and
(ii) proposals made by the said commission or body;
(b) collection of rates, radio and television licences;
(c) establishment and maintenance of cemeteries, burial grounds and homes for the destitute or infirm;
(d) licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically propelled trucks), canoes, wheel barrows and carts;
(e) establishment, maintenance and regulation of slaughter houses, slaughter slabs, markets, motor parks and public conveniences;
(f) construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lightings, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such public facilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State;
(g) naming of roads and streets and numbering of houses;
(h) provision and maintenance of public conveniences, sewage and refuse disposal;

Your MUMUness is one of the CLUELESS legacies of General Muhamadu Buhari.

Immacula8: (f) construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lightings, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such public facilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State;
(g) naming of roads and streets and numbering of houses;
.
.
.
.

From point (f) above, the decision to embark on road construction and repairs lies entirely on the assembly; but the local government must take pictures such as the one posted above to them. May be by then they will listen.

Please can we find a means of getting these pictures to the state house of assembly as well?

I think your interpretation is very wrong.
There are designated Local Government roads in Nigeria just as there are state and federal roads.
Please see attached extract from a FRSC presentation.

maclatunji: APC is stronger than Zuma rock in Ejigbo. I am not a party member but I know..

Could it be due to the famed "stomach infrastructure" strategy to oil the wheels of election winning machinery
Our people don collect rice to replace good roads, tap water, schools etc that will ensure they can buy their own rice

Firefire: And where is the (N10.8 billion)

Maybe EkoOle knows...............BTW has anyone seen him around here

Qelvin: typical yoruba enclave, inbred pigs.

As if your own area, whatever tribe you are from, is any better
Rather than emulate the yorubas to also hold your useless governor and LGA chairman accountable you are here doing arrant tribalism that serves no purpose- silly e-goat.

sarutobie: oh ho!? it is beginning to sink in, I have been saying it here on Nairaland and everywhere a discourse on these issues are brought up. the LGAs have been getting away with a lot of bullshit in this country. people are always wailing "our leaders" forgetting that the local government chairmen are the closest arm of leadership to the people, it is the local government who actually know the people's plight not the people in aso rock.when they fail the people, there is only little the federal AND state government can do..c[b]harity begins at home, until we begin to see the development and progress of this country as a collective duty, only then can we begin to move towards a better Nigeria[/b].

Thank you very much for your concise points.
For those in doubt about the stark CORRUPTION at the LGA level, just remember:

N10.8b Lagos funds released

LAGOS State won yesterday its four- year battle for its seized local government funds. The struggle ended quietly, with the President directing the Accountant-General of the Federation to immediately release the N10.829,527,300.43 (N10.8 billion) withheld by the Obasanjo administration.

The amount to be remitted, however, falls short of the state’s expectation.

The fund, which had been subject of court cases and mediation, was withheld by the past administration, following the creation of 36 new local governments in Lagos State.

The insistence of the state not to yield to the directive of the Federal Government to cancel the new local governments attracted the withholding of funds meant for the 20 existing local governments.

At the height of the tussle, the state reversed the creation of the local governments but this did not appease the former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who was bent on holding back the funds, even with the Supreme Court’s pronouncement that the money be released.

The seizure of the fund, according to former Lagos State Governor Bola Tinubu caused untold hardship.

President Umaru Yar’Adua’s directive to the Accountant-General yesterday, according to presidential spokesman Olusegun Adeniyi, follows his (the President’s) consultations within the agencies and institutions of the government.

He was also quick to add that the amount to be remitted fell short of what Lagos was demanding.

Explaining the difference, Adeniyi said: "the Federal Government is paying the exact amount withheld, excluding interest, as demanded by the state government.

"Lagos was asking for interest, which is not going to be granted because the money was not put into an interest-yielding account. But the important thing is that the President sought the opinions of all the relevant ministries on whether it is legal to hold this money and they all said that it is illegal. So, why do we hold on to it?"

Very good, practical policy from the FGN and I hope the states will set up similar things.
@ OP many thanks for initiating this thread and the Mods for putting it on FP.

Nigeria shall RISE again and the gates of Boko Hell will not prevail against us.

customized13: kk, i went to ikotun from isolo last week and it was as if that area is in ogun state, the roads are in a sorry state.

What do you mean by calling Ogun state
Amunisin (Enslavement) People's Congress, APC is also in charge there with Amosun building narrow bridge for N9 billion

Meanwhile OP thanks a lot for your eReport with pictures o jare. Seeing is believing as we plenty wey our hidden names na Thomas
Over 15 years of progreTHIEF administrations and some N500 billion annual state budget plus multiple billions of LGA budgets see what we have
For those who think this is exclusive to Ejigbo, you are on to a long thing. Roughly 80% of Lagos state is like that:

kolaaderin: Been curious, we some times ago heard that old VW factory is to be use for production of NISSAN CARS not HYUNDAI. Is anyone following this trend. To be candid, we all want progress in this country but before i could believe any news i must be convince beyond reasonable doubt backed up with pics and Nigerians working in the factory. Sorry for been too curious, its just that we have heard too much lies from this group of thieves selling propaganda as physical achievement and its coming as completed projects.


FP please, we want more details of this news, i will be happy to have positive view of this from the masses.

I think this part of the OP may answer your question:

The company announced last month the commencement of locally-produced Hyundai range of vehicles, having inaugurated and rolled out the first set of made-in-Nigeria Nissan automobiles in April.

Since this is an assembly plant they can do different brands and models from the same factory lines. From what I understand they will expand into more complex assembling as time goes on and based on market response, particularly the continuing TARIFF policy to encourage local production as is done by China, India & South Korea.

kolaaderin: where is the factory located, can anyone confirm that. to believe this, get us some pics with Nigerian working on ground and the pics of the car been assembled. and if no one can verify the location of this factory its all lies. Jonathan propaganda at work.

The factory is located at Ojo on the Badagry expressway. It is the old Volkswagen of Nigeria (VON) plant.

BTW, should this not be on the FP so we have more eye witness reports from the area where the planty is actually located and maybe people who work there or are involved with the project

nicflame: When you fail to notice that there's little difference between the 20% the whole federal gov't is contributing, and the 18.5% just a state is contributing, then mathematics has failed you by dear brother.

Mathematics MAY have failed him as you allege, due to the use of corpers for teaching rather than recruit PROFESSIONAL qualified teachers in our secondary schools by the state governors, including Fashola.
What do you think

Ilaje44: Hillary is not an opposition candidate. She's a bonafide member of the Democratic party. She's just letting her opinion out, because she would like to succeed Obama in that office. She's distancing herself from Obama in order to gain support for her ambition which is her very right. She must not share the same idea with the president like it's expected in a country plagued by Rogues and iron hearts politicians. BTW, she resigned from the Government of Obama.

Thanks for pointing out the difference between a nation of serious and ours of UNSERIOUS looters hailed and praised by our MUMU fellow compatriots.

BTW, I don't think she exactly resigned more like she did not continue with him into the second term just as Colin Powell with George Bush Jnr.
She probably needed a break to prepare for the 2016 run in case she finally decides to do so.

whitecat007: At least it's better than Fg under this administration that you invite for dinner only to hold your hands.

Do you mind to explain for those of us not smart enough to understand sharp parables from highly intelligent NLers like you.

XKZ:

That 18.5% Lagos is contributing consists solely of what they claim as the value of the land.
They are not putting up a single kobo besides making the land available.

In other words the land is valued at $277.5million (18.5% of $1.5billion), which translates to ₦44.4billion (at ₦160/$).

If it reads like a SCAM, smells like a FRAUD then it must be a 419

bobonicez: During Pastor Enoch Adeboye's sermon on Thursday night at the ongoing 62nd annual convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Adeboye narrated that a high profile woman who was an executive of the West African Examinations Council, WAEC, did everything to seduce him.

According to him, the woman came to him and announced to him that God had told her that he would be her husband, and immediately he rebuked her, saying “you know that I am happily married and have children.” That didn’t deter the woman who continued to pester him, and even came to the camp to threaten him, saying “if you stand on my way to marrying this man, I will kill you.”

Pastor Adeboye took the matter to then Inspector General of Police who immediately invited the woman and her husband to his office and after a meeting banned the randy woman from entering the Redemption Camp or ever making passes at the man of God.

“But that measure didn’t stop her. I travelled to London without telling anybody, to work on the church’s devotional, Open Heaven. As soon as I settled down in the room, the telephone rang and the voice at the other end said: “welcome to London. I am coming in 15 minutes,

The cleric continued, wondering why his audience responded with a laughter.Continuing, he said he told the voice:

“You don’t know anything, you know that the Police in London are very efficient and if you dare come here, I will call the Police for you.” There is a Police station a few meters from where I am staying and she must have known that because she didn’t come but kept calling me.“I cried to God Who told me ‘You know of the scripture that says, whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven.’ Believe me honestly, unless God helps, there are things you cannot handle on your own,

He stated, urging the large crowd to stand and pray with holy anger:

“Anyone hindering my progress, before this month is over, Holy Spirit send down Your fire to consume them”.

Why the man no hand over the matter to God as he constantly encourages his followers to do in their personal challenges
Do as I say and not as I do

As our muslim brethren will say:

Eni ti ko ba gbon ohun ni awe n gbo - na person wey nor wise na im wey fasting/ramaddan dey affect

whitecat007: When will Lagos learn that Fg will continue to be a clog in Yoruba wheel of progress. Can't Fasola find another foreign investor to take the 20% meant for Fg? For how long are we going to sit and watch Fg use bone to drag out meat?

Fasola please just drop Fg with their 20%, afterall it's not as if they are contributing even a quarter of the cost. Abeg drop them and find others to replace the yeye 20%.

i am sure Eko Ile and CyberG will provide you very good answers sharp sharp.
Dey there dey wait oh

emiye: So it is the NPA footdragging? They just might continue to investigate the value of the land contributed by LASG for the next 5 years, and at the end nothing gets done . I will implore the LASG to seek for a means to take up the portion of the FG (NPA) if actually that is possible.

How long should it take to value a land for goodness sake ? There are thousands of independentt land valuers, employ one and get the job done.

You obviously are looking at this from a very favourable point of view for LASG, right
What makes you think the land has not been valued by a professional estate surveyor and that the resulting value was REJECTED by one or more of the parties to the project
Is the COMPENSATION paid to the original landowners not also a good measure of the value

After collecting plenty accolade and praise-worship from its teeming MUGUS, Fashola's administration cannot deliver on this project- that is the reality.

CyberG: Well, apparently the ONLY governors with sense, vision, administrative and leadership potentials are virtually ONLY in the South Western part of Nigeria!

From: https://www.nairaland.com/1344968/construction-seaport-airport-begins-lekki

I hope it will not end up as "bad business" just like the SCAM of the Floating boat Sunborn hotel- N8 billion just like that

lafuria1: So as Secretary of State she was that powerless right? She contributed to the foreign policies and didn't protest about them till now, talk of trying to throw Obama under the bus to make herself look the better person indirectly saying I would have been a better president than Obama.


Sigh, failure and success must be credited to the president

You must have missed this part of the OP so let me re-post for your re-reading pleasure:

Clinton, widely considered an undeclared presidential candidate, was an unsuccessful advocate of arming the Syrian rebels when she was secretary of state during Obama’s first term.

bushdoc9919: The problem with the power supply in Nigeria is twofold.First, there is the distribution aspect.The transmission infrastructure is old, outdated and not functioning well.

Second is generation.Even if transmission infrastructure is fixed....5000, even 10000mw is not enough for Nigeria. We need at least 50,000mw to have 24/7 power supply(my estimate) and grow our industries. That is where Nuclear power,green energy.....even all those refuse dumps come in.

Thank you and may I add that it is not going to improve massively OVERNIGHT.
It will take a very long time to rectify the cumulative rot of many decades of CLUELESS military rule.

etunoman76: “Till now, the Federal and state governments have not come out with a concrete position on the life insurance cover they have offered to us and the public.

OP, why did you omit this aspect of the report
It is the type of federal-government-only MENTALITY like yours that is killing OUR country as the state governors and LGA chairmen are left off the hook of their constitutional RESPONSIBILITIES for primary health care centres, general hospitals, sanitation/hygiene INSPECTORS and facilities while we gnash our teeth in sorrow, tears & blood

thegoodjoehunt3: EBOLA: Open Letter To President Goodluck Jonathan

So I plead we channel some Money into helping the Canadian company Tekmira which have their own experimental drug (TKM-Ebola) to get it in the country as quick as possible. They are ready to test. We should give them the necessary assistance (Including Financial) to help us win this race against time.

https://www.nairaland.com/1851792/ebola-open-letter-president-goodluck

I hope you have also addressed your letter to the 36 state governors who also have a core RESPONSIBILITY in the fight against Ebola and ensuring we are all healthy

Feraz: Education?? This same education that made our graduates believe that Ebola has a particular time frame of operation; that believed Ebola ended operation at 5am; that made people take to social media to write about salt and water solution and its potency in the prevention of Ebola instead of looking up articles online to verify?

So do you suggest there should be NO education or do you prefer we work on the QUALITY while ensuring all children are educated
What is your preference?

uplawal: Guinea has closed its border from Serialeone and Liberia,et we still open our own border gbagada,we need to be serious for once.

I believe it is called and spelled:

A little google search when not sure would have made you avoid the UNSERIOUS label, which is the subject of the thread
