I thought it was because the overhead bridges in Nigeria are not enough for the bridal convoys and there are not enough gutters to drain flood waters from rains.
Yeye dey boom.

kabaka1: Too bad 4 him, his oga at d top has forsaken him

Just as Tinubu sacked two deputy governors, Mrs. Bucknor-Akerele and Femi Pedro to consolidate his chop alone mafioso status. And the people continue to be hood winked with "massive construction" of overhead bridge and gutters by ACN governors following his example.
It did not matter to Tinubu that Femi Pedro resigned. Tinubu still went ahead to organise his impeachment to nail Femi's political coffin.
Unlike OBJ and Atiku who successfully fought through the courts against his sacking and replacement by Muazu. Atiku later contested with Tinubu's AC party ticket. No wonder he said Tinubu is a betrayer.
Dog-chop-dog but the masses continue suffering.
So much for the "progressive opposition" who are just as bad as the PDP they want to kick out from the centre so they can "share" to themselves the Niger Delta oil revenue.

eggheaders: this is the second massive bridge the oyo state government is delievering under 2 years .the dualization of eleyele roads and loads of other roads.more reason why the south westerns will hold on to the progressives.

To civil engineers in the house:

How long does it take "massive projects" like road dualisation and overhead bridge construction from inception to completion?
2 years or more

Which party do the following personalities belong/ sympathise with?

* Ayatollah Buhari
* El-Rufai
* Ribadun

Now you can understand why THEY can stop their BH boys from further bombing when they decide to.

Who is stopping the Igbos led by Ezeife from procuring guns and ammunition by any means necessary if that is their priority and solution to the BH menace
Who is?
[size=13pt]Mr. Ezeife should get serious, avoid being unnecessarily emotional and STOP playing to the gallery by asking the FGN to give igbos arms. Maybe he knows that the FGN gave arms to BH and can share such info with his listeners.[/size]

Pataki: I share equally your sentiment. You are very right.

However do you know that even the African Union building was given to a Chinese firm to build? It simply goes to show how we in Africa have totally come to rely heavily on the Asians.

Heck! Even most of the major Nigerian construction firms equally travel to Asia to buy the equipment for use here.

Thank you for further showing us that you benchmark with the worst performance.
What about the saying Eshin iwaju ni t'eyin nwo sare - The leading horse serves as inspiration to those following?

And what is Amosun doing through education and human resource development to ensure this trend is reveresed in due course as Awolowo did 60 years ago

mogentle: Do you need more? LOLZZZZZZ.

Nope.
Just include the costs and how the contracts were awarded.
That will do.

AjanleKoko: You'd find out that most of the complainants are not from the South West, don't live in any of the SW states, and are just complaining for the sake of complaining.

How did you arrive at the above conjecture?
Have some crystal ball you might want to share with others?

Every now & then I am reminded of the sayiong of the sages:

Silence is the best answer for a F--L.

Please feel free to complete at your leisure.

Gbawe: http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/ogun-begins-groundwork-for-ofada-new-town-project/

So we should start celebrating the BEGINNING of the GROUNDWORK, is that correct?
What should we do when the project is finally completed?
BTW, how much was spent on the "beginning of the groundwork" that we are supposed to celebrate with some serious owambe for the ex-PDP, ex-ANPP man who is now Ogun state governor after ensuring his fellow chartered accountant was brutally and gruesomely murdered by assassins
I understand that Amosun is no longer keen on pursuing the investigations to Dina's death after the initial gra gra. Why do you think that is so?
Your guess is as good as mine.

godsboy4eva: Nice one! While this is commendable, I wouldn't want us to forget that majority of these projects are being financed through money borrowed from banks. It's a fact today that the South West states are some of the most indebted states in the federation. Whoever that will succeed the current SW governors in office may have a lot of debt to settle.
Meanwhile, I will like us to ask our leaders the following questions:
1. At what cost are theses project being executed?
2. Who are the contractors?
3. Were the contracts awarded through competitive biddings or just through the backdoors?
May God continue to bless the SW!

Thank you for raising these pertinent questions for those who still have scales on their eyes to understand these issues COMPREHENSIVELY.
How much did Awolowo leave when he was Western region premier 60 years ago with REAL massive projects all over the region and laying the foundation for ROBUST human development in education, healthcare etc and YET he had no oil money.
Same thing with Olabisi Onabanjo 30 nyears ago.
Those who want to compare with Gbenga Daniel and the other military administrators MILADS are free to do so in order for them to continue celevrating this expensive MEDIOCRITY.

madridsta007: I think your line of argument is fundamentally flawed. Your president GEJ, the decisions he has taken are they representative of what you wanted? I am sure, no is the answer.

I believe you are the one missing the point here.
GEJ has to take in the desires of 160m Nigerians and decide what the majority wants. If he determines that even though the majority wants something but will not be in their best interest in the long run, he as a wise leader should be brave enough to not do it.
Get my drift

Trachea: It is obvious you dont know anything about Ogun State.

And you do right
Why you nor kukuma answer my questions with VERIFIABLE links one by one. Misitah "Omo-ogun-ni-mi".
A kii wa l'egbe odo ka ma jiyan boya ose ho tabi ko ho - We do not stay by the river side and argue if the soap will form lather or not (we simply test it and provide proof)
I dey here dey wait you, sogbo!

ceaz4r: People are really funny. So op, & the likes supporting ur post, this is what u call 'massive' constructions'? Oh, how I pity this country! Pls someone correct me if I'm wrong, most of the pics I see here are drainages being built. And this is a state project you people are celebrating? Like seriously?

I can understand our low ASPIRATION and expectation level of our politicians i.e. governors, state legisLOOTERs, NASS representaTHIEVES and SINators as well as LGA chairmen and councillors because we are ALL solely focused on what Jona is doing or not doing in Abuja. Meanwhile we give these other MISFITS a free pass to scan us.
Pitiable.
Can we compare their performance to those of politicians in the 1st and 2nd republics

kola639: NO, that's not true. I live in Ota, n massive road construction is going on. Besides, i saw it in d news that d state govt is doing dredging canals, n deep drainages for d predicted heavy rainy season. God bless Ogun state, God bless Nigeria. Amen.

The rainy season starts in April and flooding starts from June. Very unlikely any MEANINGFUL drainage will be completed in such short time frame even with the reduced cement prices based on previously shoelss Jona's good economic POLICIES.
Mr. Amosin should focus on enabling the LGAs engage people within the vicinity of existing gutters (open drainages) to CONTINUOUSLY clean them and trucks to PROMPTLY take away the excavated rubbish. That is CONTINUOUS employment at different skills level at the various wards.
Nor be these media-friendly blitz wey dem dey do while quietly stealing the people's commonweath.
Eyes dey open small small.

Demdem: Good news I am hearing about amosun. However there are reports that he concentrates more in abeokuta the capital city and environs. Will residents or op kindly confirm or deny this.

Has he fixed all those dilapidated secondary schools in his state?
Is education free with textbooks in Ogun state?
How about pipe borne water supply in the state?
And paying ALL civil servants the minimum wage of N18,000 monthly without delay each month?
How much is RECEIVED by members of the Ogun State House of Assembly for doing nothing monthly?
What is the budget for Amosun's state house feeding allowance in 2013?
Has he held LG elections so they can perform their roles such as fixing broken PRIMARY schools and primary healthcare centres as well as public markets etc?

[size=14pt]Enough of the paparazzi yoyo cheap & cheerful projects without dealing with the BASIC matters of everyday life comforts and preparing HUMAN capital for the future as Awolowo did and Onanbanjo 60 & 30 years ago respectively.[/size]

madridsta007: Hope you know his family can reject it? And they would.

I thought the NASS representaTHIEF who moved the motion is from his area i.e. representing the family at the national level.
Nor be so again

Good move to honour the legendary author of Things Fall Apart.
I hope GEJ will act sharp, sharp on this.
No dulling.

Paentera: PDP (Bode George) Murdered Funsho Williams (an Engineer not a lawyer). Bode George specifically because Funsho was going to expose his dealings in NPA. (Funsho Williams took over from Bode George as NPA Chairman).

Stop your ignorance about matters for higher minds.

Why would PDP, Bode George or Obanikoro kill someone who is their best bet for winning Lagos in 2007 at the end of Ojuyobo's mandate against an unknown Fashola
PDP winning means they would have more to share, ok!
When did Funsho Williams take over from Bode George as chairman of NPA?
Which year?

Association of Conmen in Nigeria (ACN) is slowly being revealed as a masquerading nest of killers.

You can fool some people some of the time, you cannot fool all the people all of the time.

Is there any difference between what Falae and Tinubu did to late Funsho Williams in 1999 and what Akpabio "confessed" to recently about influencing the outcome of the PDP senatorial primaries in his state
I don tok am before and I go tok am again, there is no difference between:

a) six
b) half a dozen

APC=PDP=CPC=ACN=ANPP=APP=AD=AC=LP=etc

dederocs: Bleep your money,its in your pocket-ride on Fashola,any one that can not live by the rules of Lagos should go to their useless vilages...all these ibos and money-its shameful,dats why no one wants to allow an Ibo man as president.shallow minds...Ride on Fashola

So how are the butchers not living by the rules of Lagos?
What are these rules specifically and according to the OP
Wetin consign Igbo people with alapata (meat seller) business?
Tribalism only helps your politicians chop your money better without doing anything by saying you are marginalised etc.
Wake up and shine your eyes bro.

femmy2010: The state government built the Abattoir and I see no wrong that they insist the users maintain a clean enviroment.
The state Government isn't saying people there shouldn't do their biz but that they should keep the place clean.
Must people always see wrong in good?

Can we ever try to do something good PROPERLY and in line with the laws of the FRN
Do you think it is possible?
Do you know the difference between effective & efficient?

If the state government built the abattoir, then it should hand it over to the Agege LG to run as provided for by the 1999 constitution of the country. Why is that so difficult to do? Did Fashola not hand over Lekki road built by administrations before him to his godfather's company and making people pay toll money on top?
Meanwhile LASG that is making noise about dirty environment and poking its nose in the LGA schedule has not provided pipe borne water to ALL of the state including the abattoir to facilitate the cleanliness of the PUBLIC space. Now that is a core function of the state government.
Na so dem dey do am for obodo oyinbo wey we all dey run go hide? Plus including sending legislators' and LGA chairmen's wives for training

Good for him.
I wonder why there are no other black people playing serious golf apart from him.
Ditto for lawn tennis outside the Williams sisters.

femmy2010: He isn't just doing as he wish but the wish of the citizenry around abattoir Market.
The stench emanating from their is killing.
I hope the market users heed the governor's warning to maintain a clean market.

Misplaced agression.
Don't they know the LGA responsible for the area or they are all confirmed mugus in the Oko Oba place?

[quote author=Eko Atlantic#]The Lagos State Government has warned that it may be forced to shut down the popular Abattoir Market at Oko-Oba in Agege area of Lagos, southwest Nigeria if the stench in the area is not abated.

Officials of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, visited the meat market and decried the offensive odour emanating from the market, coupled with dirtiness of the market.

LASEPA General Manager, Engr. Rasheed Shabi, led a team of government officials to inspect the hygienic condition of the market. They inspected the slaughter slab, drainage channels, refuse dump and cow ground.

Shabi said the agency had received several complaints from residents about the offensive odour emanating from the market and was displeased with the waste management system and the poor refuse evacuation process at the abattoir.
According to him, the waste materials generated in the market were not being taken away on time. Thus, the refuse decompose and pollute the environment.

He advised the abattoir stakeholders to liaise with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, to have a designated waste evacuator to evacuate their refuse rather than leaving them to decompose and pollute the environment.

Shabi warned butchers to desist from smoking their meat with used tyres as such action is detrimental to the health of the citizens.

“Government will not hesitate to shut down this abattoir if this stench should continue unabated,” said Shabi.

http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/03/25/lagos-may-shut-abattoir/[/quote]Another homo africanus simplex thinking omn display here.
Why should the LASEPA oga on the top be the one inspecting the abattoir ONCE IN A WHILE with plenty camera crews and journalists. Na real Eko for show we dey so.
Is he not supposed to have his agents there DAILY enforcing relevant laws on conduct within the abattoir to ensure CONSISTENT cleanliness
And the next thing is we will close the place if YOU don't organise yourselves to keep it clean!
What are the government agencies doing?
BTW, Fashola who is a SAN and should know the roles of each tier of government should call his state agents to order. The Fourth schedule of the 1999 constitution clearly gives LGAs the abattoirs to manage:

(e) establishment, maintenance and regulation of slaughter houses, slaughter slabs, markets, motor parks and public conveniences;

No wonder people dey blame GEJ sey dem nor get ambulance for their Primary Healthcare Centres (PHC)s.
Does anyone know what his LGA chairman and councillors are doing with their Abuja allocations plus taxes, fees, tenement rates, and other IGR things
What do they do during their 8 hours of work daily?
Why should they get a free pass when we don't earn our daily bread free also?
Abeg na wetin!

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]Some ignorant nairalanders are here mouthing 17 ambulances and relating it to how they don't have ambulances in their respective states and local governments.

Just in case you guys don't know, it's not the duty of the Federal government to provide Primary and secondary healthcare to the masses. [size=14pt]The Local Government Authorities have the responsibility of providing primary healthcare via setting up of primary health centres and dispensaries[/size] while the state government has the responsibility of providing secondary healthcare by building an equipping General hospitals and the states are also involved in tertiary care via state universities teaching hospitals and specialist hospitals. The Federal government is partly responsible for tertiary healthcare.

So, if you lack basic medical facilities, you know who to hold responsible; your governors and/or your LGA chairmen.[/quote]It is obvious most of us do know know anything about how government works with the the three arms:

- Federal
- State
- Local

and three branches

- Executive i.e. President, Governor and LG Chairman
- Legislature for making laws
- Judiciary for interpreting laws

That explains why many of us give free pass to the governors and LGA people to dupe us big time. Original mugus!!!
[size=14pt]How many primary schools and primary health care centres have your LGA built since 1999 properly equiped and well staffed with adequate salary[/size]
Everybody is hear shouting Jona this, Jona that.
That was how Fashola was showing that being a SAN does not mean that you are automatically a SANE person. Closing markets for not being clean when there is a LG authority that collects fees, rates etc and absonds.
Yeye dey boom.

When leaders have no solution, the solution is without those leaders- Away with the utterly clueless one!

How about you start a campaign to immediately recall the "sleazy low class crooks in the national assembly", 35-40% of whom are the saintly "progressive opposition" seeking to kick out PDP at the centre so they can "share" better with themselves leaving the masses short changed as usual
BTW, that includes the wife of the national leader of the Association of Conmen in Nigeria-ACN
Once the sleazy crooks are recalled we can expect a fast track impeachment of GEJ.
See no need to wait till 2015.
Mugus incorporated.
Yeye dey boom

Anyone who wants real change should listen to what Obama had to tell Israeli youths last week:

As a politician, I know we don't move except the people put pressure on us to do something. Be the change you want to see.

Let us get ready to participate massively in the next elections by getting involved in the POLITICAL process from today. Every day that is lost cannot be recovered. Let's take action now!!!

Omexonomy: then why did sec allow thier IPO under the able leadership of prof. Okere onyuku This is the biggest kwestion of the millinium.

Abeg stop that joke, you hear me so?
The yeye "prof" na big time scammer wey sabi the long throat wey dey pursue all of us for 9ja and took advantage big time with her band of blood suckers. A scammer was simply aiding other scammers get theirs, including from dying pensioners. What Okereke Onyiuke did is no different from the much vilified PENCOM runaway man, Maina. They should all be burned at the stake.
Yet the over fed "prof" had the effontery to set up battle with her replacement Arunmah Oteh who was trying all her best to clean the shiit wey she bin leave for SEC. I sure sey she nor be professor at all.
Thank God for oga at the top, Jona wey nor listen to the noise of the crowd but could see through the Hembe & co ruse thus leaving Oteh to continue her good work.

Eko Ile: Are you telling me people like Buhari and the other APC progressives will put these corrupt PDP entries within the APC on trial tor corruption?

When you pal around with shittt eating dogs, you'll def consume shitttt too.


By allowing corrupt elements and looters into their party, they no longer have any moral right or authority to point fingers because they have the same looters and corrupt elements under their noses.

Right now, it looks more like do anything to win and not principles and good moral convictions.

Welcome. E kaabo si ori eto yi.
Na now wey you dey see wetin some of us don see tey tey.
Is the Ogun governor, Amosun not a former PDP senator for four years? Did he not switch to ANPP to run for governorship and then ACN after his fellow chartered accountant, Dina was murdered by yet-to-be identified culprits?
You should try and find out how many current ACN representaTHIEVES, SINators, state assembly legisLOOTERS and other political jobbers in the south west states controlled by PDP from 2003 crossed over from PDP as soon as ACN was sure to come back to power?
Abeg shine your eye well well. They are all biords of the same feather out to deceive the masses and steal OUR taxes without doing anything beyond the yoyo effizy things.

I don ask am before and I go ask am again:

What is the difference between

a) Six
b) Half a dozen

PDP=ACN=CPC=ANPP=APGA=APC=LP= etc
