Does anyone know God's address where He can be honoured with my substance

In responding please remember that Jesus Christ said:

You cannot love God whom you do not see, if you don't love your neighbours whom you see.

babyosisi: In 2020?
Nigerians are indeed play tools in the hands of their criminal leaders
What stops Fashola from starting constant supply to one LGA or section of Lagos as a prototype by the end of this year
Imagine a governor telling people what he will do in 7 years time and someone is actually clapping
Chai
Mumu

And the person's tenancy of the Alausa house is not up for renewal in 2015

Was it OBJoke or Yaradull that had Vision 2020?
I guess Fashola and his NL resident e-propaganda chief Eko Ile think everyone is a mugu for this Lagos.

Bolushalom: If you can get a sexually transmitted disease without having se.x, then why is it a sexually transmitted disease??

Thank you o jare for the very sensible question.
They will have to create NSTDs- Non Sexually Transmitted Disease

KwoiZabo: Kai. This road is long overdue. I passed there some mnths back and it was terrible. The Qs u shld ask urself is that with the population in the area and the traffic should it have waited 4 this long to receive govt. Attention.ppl that live in these areas and use this road pay taxes to Lagos state govt.

14 continuous, unbroken years of waiting for the "progressive" government of Tinubu and Fashola to fix the roads in the populous areas of Lagos.

You can only imagine how the old PUBLIC primary schools (LGA responsibility) and secondary schools (state responsibility) look like and whether new ones have been built to cater for the growing populationin these populous areas of the state.

Opportunity for the UI authorities to launch a serious fund raising campaign among alumni of the hall to rebuild it the same model with updated features.
I hope sey all of una wey dey post una fond memories of your good old days here will respond when the call is made. Or better still champion the cause.
Wish them luck

bright007: I have listened to many of Majek Faskek's songs and one thing that makes me wonder is that he adds Edo language to many of d songs.
Is he from Edo state?

Yes.
Not sure which area exactly from the state.

thelonestranger: About 250 meters

Thanks but are you sure it is only 250 metres? Not more? Not less?
Any other person can confirm or correct the 250 metres lenght

Handsomeemmy: If You guys see the pictures of these bombs and ammunition, the ied making materials and all sort of weapons, i saw the some of the pictures and some of the officers even side they have never discovered weapons and bombs of this magnitude since the begining of the crisis, it was really a classified operation because investigation is still on going. Indeed a lebanese was arrected. He dug a very big hole inside his house to keep all these weapons.

How can we see what you have not shown us

You think sey we be winch ni abi

Does anyone know the lenght of the Mokola bridge

If you do or can find out, please share.
Thanks.

lagcity: Cynic: Did it break the bank?

Governor: No.

Cynic: Good enough for me. Fvck off Haterz!

Everything in your short sketch was good until the above.
N2.2b and still counting spent for such a nawrrow bridge that has been decribed as built by "direct labour" and you said it did not break the bank

Olorun o ni je ki iya o yi mo wa l'ara o, Amin. God forbid that we rejoice over suffering (suffering & smiling), Amen

BTW, nothing as bad as self deception aka self-hatred in disguise.

Security sources close to the military told Vanguard, on condition of anonymity, in Kano that the highly coordinated military operation was carried out following a tip-off by a suspect under investigation.

The military, police and intelligence units CANNOT DO IT ALL, they need the cooperation of responsible, vigilant citizens sharing information with them on suspicious movements, behaviour, persons, packages etc.

It is in our own interest to be vigilant and inform appropriate authorities of ANYTHING or ANYONE suspicious. You never know who the next VICTIM will be.

I refuse to be tempted on this auspicious day

Billyonaire: That bridge looks too cheap and unprofessional. The contractor did a bad job and I am sure, billions of dollars has been spent on that. But I must commend them for not putting a toll-gate on the bridge, yet.

Why you dey look for trouble on Democracy Day like this.
We suppose dey gbaladun jejely with amala and abula sponsored by Eko Ile from his share of the toll gates on Lagos state roads & bridges.

Omexonomy: Though NIFOR are trying their best.

I imagine that as an Edo person you know that NIFOR is a federal government research agency and its revival is a direct result of Jonathan's FRUITFUL efforts to rejuvenate our agricultural and agro-allied sectors.

To me all the state gov are dead those that are not dead are thieves.

I also imagine you can agree with me that the best way to wake them up from their "dead" sitaution is not by trying to "tell gej to do more". That is a guaranteed way for the states and LGAs to continue their free ride at our expense- the hardworking, toiling and tax-paying citizens of this POTENTIALLY great country.

IF we can wake all the tiers of government to do half of what the Jonathan administration is doing, we probably won't see our girls scrambling to go and work in Italy at all costs with the renewed opporunities in our country.

pmc01: Are you related to JEG somehow or you just share the 'R' trait with him?

People from the north, west and east come together to form a coalition and you're talking tribalism?

#come off the weed, ok?

Some of us southerners do not know what the game plan is, or do we
Ask any middlebelt person on the hausa-fulani ways of use & dump to foster their narrow, self-centred goals.
You can also check the stories of Afonja in Ilorin, SL Akintola in the old Western region, MKO Abiola with NPN in 1983 and then with IBB's annuled elections in 1993.

So, indeed the "mugus from the north, west and east come together to form a coalition" in order to hand power back to the fulanis (to resume their "sharing" the national cake aka Niger Delta oil WITHOUT contributing anything worthwhile), most of them without even being aware and those who may be aware are too busy focused on their own personal gains that they have sold their inheritance for a pot of porridge like Esau to Jacob (Yakubu).

Anyway they chose an appropriate acronym, APC - Arewa Peoples Congress!

[quote author=Itoroetti ]Yes,I do remember.imagine all this big firm do have their own sporting club.imagines the numbers of talent that would spring out of nigeria.imagine;airtel,mtn,glo,zenith bank,access bank,gtb and dangote cement all having their various football clubs or basketball club,so many talent would have been discoverd and nurtured for growth in this country.
Back then,we had first bank ,union bank,julius begger,okomu oil,mobil,all having their clubs with football talent abounding there-in,but now,no more.all the do is post their profit for us to see.
Thumbs up to okomu oil.[/quote]Businesses are set up ESSENTIALLY to make profit for their owners. If the sports venture does not tie in to that, it will be very foolish of the management to venture into such otherwise they should and will get sacked.
No sentiments please!

What Nigerian sports needs to flourish is to be PRIVATISED as much as possible with government simply regulating. I see there is a slow move towards that and we are feeling the impact slowly in football for example. You should find out about the South African PSL football league.

Government has no business doing business. QED!

Omexonomy: Most of the produce are consumed localy tell gej to do more so that we can export

The FG sets policies etc but do not forget that there are state governors and LGAs who have their 1999 consitution-ally specified roles also.

The president is not a DO ALL in a democratic, somewhat federal arrangement.
Hold other ELECTED PUBLIC servants responsible and accountable also.
Thanks!!!

[quote author=bejo2_k]becuase most of these figures are made up figures.... to get people interested[/quote]...like the Edo-centric poster below

fados4sure: Edo is moving hater should kill themselves

tunergy: Having in mind that this two companies are not subjected to the same operating environment + having different overheads and I believe there is a very material gap in their market capitalization, hence how do you pitch dem against each other without being bias?

Please tell us how do you make investment decision on two (or more) possible alternatives if you do not "pitch dem against each other"

[quote author=bejo2_k]So your analysis doesnt provide the full picture..... if you want a proper analysis upload the two companies last balance sheet as well as profit and loss account for year 2012[/quote]Thanks for shedding further light on this.
Hopefully the poster can provide the two documents for both companies and you can provide some of the ratios subsequently.
However one must note that ratios, while they are very good reliable tools, talk about past performance and current capability and may not also show FUTURE prospects, which is what an investor SHOULD BE really concerned about.

Krasid: WE HAVE WAITED TOO LONG,IT IS OUR TIME TO CHOP.

Nice one. Very nice.
Given that they were keen on "sharing" positions before

* they notified INEC of their intention to merge.
* had a manifesto or at least a manifesto drafting panel.

I will adapt your logo and have it as:

Our Time to Share (Niger Delta oil wealth)

We came, We saw & We ran away
Power to the North
(compare with Power to the People)

Sincere 9gerian: And who's to blame? Do you expect GEJ to build high speed trains in 3yrs? Anyway, the process of building high speed trains has commenced (see the OP).

By the way, the president was not elected only to build high speed trains. The president has roads to fix, schools to build, hospitals to fix, agriculture, security, etc. So many areas begging for attention. The president cannot just sink all the funds into building fast trains. That will be senseless

Let us ask what the AD/AC/ACN administration of Tinubu and Fashola have done in continuous, unbroken 14 years of so called "progressive" government on similar issue in Lagos.

Let us not forget they had a blueprint and master plan that UPN's Jakande launched over 30 years ago for METROLINE before he was overthrown and the project cancelled by jealous Ayatollah Buhari who threw him into jail while keeping his fulani brother, president Shagari in luxurious house arrest in Ikoyi.

Sincere 9gerian: Haters can continue to hate while PROGRESS is being made

That exactly is the point. PROGRESS is being made and should be RECOGNISED.

It may be slow, YES but it is STEADY and should get better with GEJ continuing along with CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of vigilant citizens.

payless: And you are not ashamed of yourself to call what you displayed up there as train. In this age of modernization, you are displaying locomotive nonsense as train. It was Obasanjo who started this nonsense idea and approved the contract of this locomotive crap of a train that you are now celebrating. If you forgot, we stopped using the locomotive train in Nigeria back in the 1980s. Why do we have to continue to celebrate mediocrity in this country? Nigerians deserve better than this rubbish.

Below are the befitting trains Nigerians deserve:

Those were very beautiful pictures you had there of very fine trains and railways in the developed countries.
Will you mind telling us the ratio of salary difference between their minimum wage and the highest paid political office holder as COMPARED to that of Nigeria

Will you care to inform us how many of their civil servants send their kids to Canada for education that costs 5-10 years salary and no one asks questions

How many vocational schools and technicians do these developed countries graduate every year to produce items, parts designed by their engineers and maintain facilities

CFCfan: Except for their Speaker, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, about 20 lawmakers present at the plenary, raised questions on why the state government should concession and collect tolling on a bridge built with taxpayers’ money and fully paid by the government.

Finally the lawmakers are growing some BALLS to ask questions even if TIMIDLY as we need to see results of changed policy to know they can not only bark they can also BITE when necessary.
And why did the Speaker not join them? Abi im sabi the Baba isale wey go dey collect the toll?

BTW, what did they do when some "posh" areas were excluded from the tenancy law passed some two(?) years ago

Eko Ile: Osun - Touching the Little Ones Through School Feeding

1. So, what part of Osun is the only state feeding kids you didn't get understand after the worthless FG took food away from kids?

I advised you just yesterday (I believe) to stop doing lie, lie of ojukoroju (bare faced).
You will be found out. Did you miss the part of what you quoted that said "counterpart funding" or you do not know how government projects work in terms of counterpart funding by a partner entity I imagine you are just playing the usual scam and half-truth PROPAGANDA that is the hallmark and sustenance of ACN.

Why did you omit this part of the story from your SAME link:

Recently, as part of the effort of the state government to boost the program and give it international colouration, the State Government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with an international agency: Partnership for Child Development (PCD) for the expansion and sustainability of the elementary school feeding programme in the state.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201301140594.html

PCD is an international NGO that is based in Imperial College London.
Essentially Ogbeni replaced federal COUNTERPART funding (which we are not sure was withrawn ONLY for Osun state as Eko Ile will want us to believe) with that of a London based NGO while at the same time claiming to annually spend:

Mrs. Laoye-Tomori declared that the present administration in the state has been spending whopping sum of N3 billion annually on its school feeding programme, saying that the programme has impacted positively on the learning of the children in elementary schools of the state.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201301140594.html

You seem to be oblivious to the FULL DISCLOSURE principle so I felt I shoud help you out.
You can always thank me for the assistance.
LOL!!!

[quote author=FBI/CIA]Now talking about schools

Feeding the kids in skul was the last regime's idea and oyinlola did it for 7years before he was axed.........[/quote]Oga the above cannot be true.
We only know of O'Meals.
Before Aregberascal there was nothing like school feeding in Osun state.

Oh wait a minute, I forgot that the Ogbeni has turned our beloved state of the Living Spring to
The State of LIEING SPIRITS

Shameless bunch of crooks packed together in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria, ACN!

Coming from a political jobber who was the Director, Media and Communications of the Mallam Nuhu Ribadu Campaign Organization, such statement is understandable.
I guess he meant to say Amaechi is a darling to the opposition. Good luck to him and his new found friends.


Every Tom, Di'ck & Harry will milk this Amaechi incident for his own personal gain and political relevance in our LAWLESS society.
However it does not change the fact that Amaechi engaged in anti-party activities. When you join a group/society/community voluntarily you inherently compel yourself to abide by its rules until you renounce your membership.
If Amaechi wants to renounce his membership of PDP he should simply go ahead.

Has anyone thought what Tinubu would do if this were an ACN governor romancing with PDP guys
Does anyone remember that Tinubu sacked two deputy governors- Bucknor & Femi Pedro? It did not matter to Ogbeni Ojuyobo that Pedro actually resigned.
He still got the LASHA to impeach him!
Nor does it matter to our latter day patron saints of democracy that Obasanjo could not sack his VP, Atiku in comparison.

Even Mimiko that is not an ACN governor we saw how Tinubu was harrassing and intimidating him with his "I gave him millions of pounds for his campaign" and calling him a TRAITOR and BETRAYER.
Thankfully, the good people of Ondo state saw through the Jagaban's tricks and did not join the enslavement farm of the Ashiwaju Company of Nigeria, ACN, with its five branches in Lagos, Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti and Edo states paying royalty per se, per se!

SMH!!!

Pandemonium broke out in Ile-Oluji, headquarters of the Ile-Oke-Igbo Local Government Area, Ondo State on Monday when youths who are natives of the town besieged the palace and chased away the monarch to protest his alleged refusal to allow the siting of a higher institution in the town.

As of the time of filing this report, the angry crowd under the aegis of National Association of Ile-Oluji Students had reportedly forced the monarch to seek refuge in the residence of one of his chiefs.

Attempts to speak with the monarch, the Jegun of Ile-Oluji, Oba Suulade Adedugbe, were not successful because security operatives had cordoned off entrances to his palace and prevented visitor from entering.

Some of the protesters, who declined to disclose their identifies, vowed not to leave the palace until they ensured that the monarch reversed his decision on the institution.

A source said, “We had it on good authorities that Adedugbe rejected an offer from the Federal Government to site a Federal Polytechnic in the town because of his belief that government may not be able to pay appropriate compensation to owners of economic trees on whose land the institution will be sited.”

One of the students said information at their disposal was that the monarch’s position had allegedly forced the Federal Government to consider the relocation of the institution to Idanre town.

However, a source within the palace denied the allegations of the angry students and insisted that it was not possible for the traditional ruler, who knows the value of education, to do such thing.

The source said, “I think the students are being misled by some people who had some scores to settle with the monarch.”

It was learnt that the protest, which began in the town as early as 9am at the main roundabout in the community later moved to the palace where the monarch was chased out.

Other allegations brought against the monarch included alleged diversion of money meant for the development of the community.

However, the embattled traditional ruler, who spoke through one of his chiefs, Adeoba, the Odofin of the community, described all the allegations levelled against him as blackmail.

When the Area Commander, Ondo Area Command, Alhaji Hamzat Ameyi, arrived place in company with other police officers, the protesters, who were initially peaceful, became unruly.

The Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Mr. Wole Ogodo, however, said he had yet to be briefed about the development.

Punch

Politicians need to take note of this.
If the youths can chase a king- Iku Baba yeye, Alase Ekeji Orisa i.e.second only to the gods, they can chase away any masquerading, pretentious politician that is doing Jeun s'oke, Jeun s'apo with the people's money.

To be fore warned is to be fore armed that is to say Ogun agbotele kii pa aro.

[quote author=FBI/CIA]Do you know how much govment is using to Operates all these stations?

3days when dere was total blackout in osun and some other states do you know OSBC cannot run on Generator for 12hrs they said they have to close and end the transmission because they are on Generator (how absurd)

Talking about Jobs definitely there will Be more jobs if it is privatise because most people they will employ are oshun people too this will also give more oppourtunities to the Vibrant youth that are willing to work, that are more expose than the old cargo in the gov. TV stations.

If he wants to make OSBC better he shud let them stand on their own fetch mony themselves and pay for their salaries at list they have soo many things they are running BUT its a shame there is NO improvement in their programs[/quote]In the rush to launch cheap & cheerful POPULIST projects with little sustainable value to the citizens these pseudo-progressives are showing themselves as clueless as can be apart from being plain thieves.

In the other thread of Aregberascal's 30 months of governance, we read this:

30. Osogbo Railway Station undergoing [size=14pt]massive[/size] rehabilitation.

https://www.nairaland.com/1303754/ogbeni-rauf-adesoji-aregbesolas-30#15923413

For us to later realise that the scammer only made a pedestrian bridge over the railway station whose usage is due to Jonathan's fruitful efforts at reviving the comatose sector after 40 years of neglect and several billions spent by previous administrations- military & civilian alike.

Thank you Mr. President!

2gbasky22: PDP, u guys are stil learning!
Is this the same PDP that held EDO People hostage for ten years? Now talking of accountability, mcheeew.......
Nt dat i am in suport of the missing fund, but PDP in should be ashamed to talk of acountability maybe from any other political party buh certainly nt PDP.

In the absence of any other party that is willing to do it and with no REAL civil society organisation that can do it on altruistic basis, I am happy to see PDP do it.

Nevertheless they need to get sharper at this in order to fully reap the benefit of displacing ACN and their pseudo-progressive scamming schemes.
I can understand their (PDP) fear though- going down this lane means they will have to be more upright than they may want to be.

In any case I wish them luck!
