Kairoseki77: ACN hosted the best performing Governors in Nigeria. Remember I said STATE GOVERNORS, before you start spouting off FG projects in regions with failing state leadership.

No matter how much religious jingoism, or ethnic jingoism, people like you wish to inject into the debate, the fact remains that APC's performance record far outstrips PDP's. Saying that APC will be just as bad as PDP, is just a cowards way of admitting that PDP is a failure.

If PDP is a failure, why should I continue to vote for them?
How can you say that APC will be the same, if they have never been given the chance to govern at the federal level? Have you seen the difference between failing PDP governors and performing ACN Governors? It is like night vs day to the people in those states.

ichidodo: So am correct then, yorubas owned lagos before before.

omenka: We don't "think", we KNOW and we have SEEN. Keep living in denial. If they manage to resolve the crises, that's another thing, but in the meantime there are two factions, period.

Keep watching as events unfold.

omonnakoda: formerdomestic aide, Andy Uba Is that the same thing as "Boy-Boy" Please I don't know book ??

brownlord: Nigeria Youth Parliament? Which one be that one again, wetin dem dey do, who elect them, wetin dem dey paliament Who dey pay them, na who send them,can anybody help me answer this questions?

omenka: Honestly, the admins of this site should make it Rule number 22: "Make sure you specify which faction of PDP you are refering to when making reference to the party".

However there were a few new names like Abdullahi Hussaini Maibasari, who emerged as the new national youth leader of the PDP after defeating Baba Wakili by 1547 votes to 421 votes.

At age 30, Maibasari is half the age of the former occupant of that office and the PDP must have realised that the resignation of the former youth leader was a rare opportunity to correct that former appointment which attracted consistent criticism at the time. To many Nigerians, it was simply disgraceful that the PDP chose to elect a man over 60 as its youth leader in its last convention.

Maibasari was before his election yesterday, the speaker of the Nigerian Youth Parliament, a position he was elected to just eight months ago.

Read his official citation as speaker below:

Born in Minna, the Niger State capital on 30th January 1983, Rt. Hon. Abdullahi Hussaini MaiBasira was elected second Speaker of the Nigerian Youth Parliament on Wednesday, December 14th 2012.

A dynamic and highly focused young man with a passion for sustaining a holistic sustainable development of an integrated Nigeria, young Abdullahi attended Air force Primary School, Victoria Island Lagos and later the prestigious Kings College Lagos for his Senior School Certificate which he obtained in 1999.

For his University education, he proceeded to Usman Dan Fodiyo University, Sokoto where he graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Agricultural Economics and Extension in 2006. It was in the University that his leadership credentials began to manifest as he was elected Member to the Students Representative Assembly in 2003 and later in 2004, at the young age of 21, President of the Students Union Government.

While as President, MaiBasira is credited with entrenching a decentralized students leadership in the University, proved his capability to mobilize and maintain public opinion and opening up the political space for greater participation of all students. Still at the University, MaiBasira was also Grand Law Commander (Junior Chambers International) in addition to other numerous positions and responsibilities.

MaiBasira was called to National Youth Service where he was Platoon Leader, Camp Corps Representative and President both for Charity Community Development Group and NIPC Corpers Forum, Abuja.

A naturally interesting personality, who is tireless in the affairs of men, Abdullahi MaiBasira has worked in NIPC, Abuja, Niger State Due Process Office, Niger State PPP Office and is currently with the Niger State Development Company and was last appointed Senior Special Assistant to the Chief Servant, Executive Governor of Niger State Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu on Public Private Partnerships.

Due to MaiBasira’s zest for knowledge, he began a Masters Degree in Agricultural Economics in 2009 in Federal University of Technology Minna which he obtained in 2011. Besides this, he has also attended several trainings such as Student Delegate to the Conference on Nation Building (2004), Workshop on National Draft Policy on PPP (2009), Youth Delegate to National Youth Conference on Anti – Corruption (2008), Leadership and Good Governance (2010), PPP: Successful Implementation for Strategic Economic Regeneration in States and Local Governments, Certified Workshop at the International Institute of Investment Promotion at Baden Switzerland (2010).

In the short period MaiBasira has served as Speaker of the Nigerian Youth Parliament, he has been received by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, RT. Hon. Aminu Waziri, Governors of Osun and Kaduna State and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on MDG. A strong advocate for national security and unity and youth empowerment as an avenue for economic regeneration, the Speaker has made as the centre piece of his goals, the introduction and creation of State Youths Parliaments in all States of the Country in order to encourage discussions by the Youths on issues of local, regional and national importance.

The Speaker, Rt. Honourable Abdullahi MaiBasira married in 2009 to Mrs. Rabi Sa’adu MaiBasira whom he met in 2003 and they are blessed with a son, Muhammad.

A widely travelled Nigerian, the Speaker has visited 28 states and other countries.

naptu2: A businessman (Michael Dopplemayr), whose family owned company has made cable cars for over a hundred years and is the largest maker of cable cars in the world, sees a documentary about Lagos ( "Welcome To Lagos" ) and decides to build a cable car system in Lagos.

He conducts research, contacts Nigerian businessmen, they set up Ropeways Nigeria Limited, get a loan from the African Development Bank and a license from Lamata and begin preparations to build the ropeway system.

Where does taxpayers money come in?

The Economist claims that it "is not a chronicle of economics". Rather, it aims "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress".

naptu2: So Emirates Airlines is the beneficiary?

The Emirates Air Line (also known as the Thames cable car) is a cable car link across the River Thames in London built by Doppelmayr with sponsorship from the airline Emirates. The service opened on 28 June 2012 and is operated by Transport for London. It has an average ridership of 31,601 passenger journeys a week.

The service, announced in July 2010 and estimated to cost £60 million, comprises a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) gondola line that crosses the Thames from the Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Docks. Construction began in August 2011. The cable car is based on Monocable Detachable Gondola (MDG) technology, a system which uses a single cable for both propulsion and support, such as that used on the metrocable in Medellín, Colombia. The MDG system is reportedly cheaper and quicker to install than a more complex three-cable system which would allow for larger-capacity cars.

This is the "Lagos Floating Hotel" once touted as the 9th wonder of the World, according to the Lagos State commissioner of tourism, Tokumboh Afikuyomi. The Lagos State Gov't recently told a bewildered public that it is now privately -owned, but it used to be referred to as a "Public Private Partnership" until the lifeless boat made it to Lagos by way of a tugboat.

Also the Lagos state government funded journalists, Traditional Rulers and federal officials to attend the handing over event of the boat in London last year. Who owns this floating hotel and how much of Lagos state funds went into the venture before it was smartly turned over to the smart private owners? Fast-Shola, kindly provide some answers devoid of too much lawyering!

Oh by the way, when is the first guest checking into this hotel? Reservations please!
