Thank You PMB , Thank You Amechi. God Bless Nigeria Thanks for the propaganda pictures that will never be delivered just like the Lagos light rail that Fash-Ole promised will be running since over seven years ago? Have you been carried by the Lagos light rail? Or any of your folks or friends  The Association of Past/Present Criminals, APC is just a bunch of liars, scammers and 419ers out to drown our country in debts.www.nairaland.com/attachments/2674047_2671101fbimg1435752845837jpeg8fa3e5cefe73fa369d83ff842dcb8396_jpeg_jpeg08705abfd750ea2ff336c659bb1b7a6anaptu2:
Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
January 9, 2013
The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).
He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.
The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.
Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.
The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion
He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.
“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.
“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.
“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.
“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

These are old school trains.developed countries don't use this again.scrap Scrap that Fash-Ole spent billions for but still no train service in Lagos www.nairaland.com/attachments/2135824_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough?AUGUST 10, 2011 As Toronto trainspotters gleefully take maiden rides on the TTC's Rocket, commuters in Lagos, Nigeria may be about to get some new trains of their own. Our old ones. A TTC spokesperson has confirmed that the commission is negotiating with a private group to sell up to 260 used train cars to the West African megacity's new transit project. "I can confirm that the TTC is in discussion with a third party that wants to purchase trains for Lagos," said commission spokesperson Brad Ross. "Over a period of time, they will be taken out of service and then transported over to Nigeria." The cars being considered for sale are the TTC's old H-5 and H-6 models, which will be decommissioned as the TTC rolls out its new fleet of Rockets. Ross predicts the earliest they could be shipped to Nigeria is sometime in 2012. Traffic snarls are already a major economic problem in the Nigerian capital, a booming city that will reach an estimated population of 25 million by 2015. A new above-ground rail system designed to carry 1.5 million people a day has already broken ground, and Lagos Governor Babtunde Fashola has said it "will be the most multi-dimensional and most impactful" of the government's efforts to reduce traffic congestion. Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains. The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars. It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer. The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles. Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them. "Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life." Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern. "We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos." He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts. According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption. "More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system." From: https://nowtoronto.com/news/next-stop-nigeria/ojuoluwani:
LAGOS State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, yesterday, gave a breakdown of how his administration expended the N160 billion World Bank loan it acquired, saying the state maintained a healthy debt profile.
Fashoa, who spoke during his commemoration of 2,700 days in office and achievements in the last 100 days, in Alausa, Ikeja, said long overdue refund would go a long way in reducing the debt profile of the State, which he said the Federal Government recently published to mislead the public.
He said, “Recently, our political adversaries issued statements that we have borrowed N160 billion. What they have not told you is what we are doing with the money.”
Enumerating his government’s activities within the period under consideration he said; “In the last 100 days, we have commenced work on providing street lighting on the Muritala Muhammed Way in Yaba.
This is 10 kilometres of public lighting which will be completed by the end of this month. On Eko Bridge, Carter Bridge, Ikorodu Road, Lekki-Epe Expressway and every street and highway where there is street lighting in Lagos, it is the Lagos State Government that supplied the poles, the bulbs, the diesel and the maintenance.
“The only major highway we are not managing for street lights is the 3rd Mainland Bridge.
Fire engines, to secure lives, rail transport from Okokomaiko to Marina, with four stations of eight kilometres completed, and work heading to Marina, with piles appearing near the Eko Bridge every day are the places your Government is spending money. The expansion of the Lagos Badagry Expressway to a 10-lane highway is another place where your Government is spending money.

You should be seriously be looking for Oduduwa republic and not been comfortable as a liability to others.
Gather your fellow Yorubas in Benin republic and Togo, and move towards getting Oduduwa republic.
I am tired of all these unity begging posts. Looks like you are not alone. www.nairaland.com/attachments/11023460_9857491fbimg1558162538099jpeg7e4c133def320613e5464b1022cf2a14_jpeg1d031bdf1bf308f5cfa4c1398fc53506comos:
The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, on Friday justified the arrest of only suspects of Yoruba extraction over the recent clash in Ile-Ife, Osun State, which resulted in the death of about 46 persons. He said crime neither has tribe nor identity.
Idris spoke with State House correspondents shortly after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari of security situations in parts of the country inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The police had been in the eye of the storm for arresting and parading 20 Yoruba persons, including a monarch, over the clash while not a single Hausa/Fulani person was detained.
The pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere; and the Oodua Peoples Congress are among groups and individuals that have been criticising the police over the development.
Idris however said the police would not hesitate to apply the law once criminal cases are established against individuals, irrespective of their tribe.
He said, “You know we are police officers. Crime has no tribe. If you are a criminal, you are a criminal.
“Crime has no face. We don’t look at crime in the identity of where you are coming from.
“As far as you are a criminal and the police find you wanting, we apply the law.”
He said investigation had revealed that the crisis started with a disagreement between two people selling food along the road.

Again, from the vice president to the minister of education and a large number of Buhari's cabinet members were once staunch ASUU members, what have they done to better the University system without ASUU going on strike? Why can't ASUU engage those members in government to improve the system without having to resort to strikes? How do you know that they have not followed your recommendation of engaging those members in government to improve the system without results, hence the need for strike? |

Nigeria should become a rich country with relatively low unemployment rate, functioning economy, a responsive government, strong institutions etc., and the Nigerian passport will be strong. Being rich is enough, which is why a Malaysian passport affords its holders free entry to over 170 countries, 15+ more than Africa's highest - Seychelles.
In fact, the decline in the strength of the Nigerian passport has been horrible. Ten years ago, a Nigerian passport was visa free to 76 countries, today? It's 46. With a ballooning population but persistently weak economic growth, I forsee it plummeting to 20-25 in the next fifteen years.
Sweet Jesus  Informative. I have scanned a few of your posts and they are in a similar frame. We need to see more comments from people like you dominate this nairaland, instead of those that encourage us to sink further into our demoralising situation. Kudos. |

Maxymilliano:
And the Nation Newspaper went ahead to publish the purported endorsement like it was sourced directly from the mouth of the President, Mrs. Helen Atekha Odemwingie
https://thenationonlineng.net/chamber-of-commerce-endorses-ize-iyamu/ Why should we be surprised that this is coming from filthy liars, from their Oga at the top to the lowest LGA Ward level zombie? Is their coNrade Oshi-omo-Ole not struggling to repackage a renowned acid-throwing cultist and thief as the messiah for Edo people? The same way they all packaged Barawo Bubu as our messiah in 2015? Edo people shine una eyes. Don't let them turn your state to another satellite for raising bullion vans money to be delivered at Bourdillon. Work on everyone you know to choose right. To choose the less bad of the two options- Obaseki over Iyamu. That is the work that needs to be done in the next three weeks relentlessly. Without ceasing. www.nairaland.com/attachments/11720358_fbimg15919816072656135_jpeg594b180e38f64950e93325bba350834bdre11:
FLASHBACK: Oshiomhole once wanted building named after Obaseki for ‘selfless service’
Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), once said Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, worked for the state using his brain and creativity.
Oshiomhole, who praised the governor during the governorship campaign of 2016, said a building at the government house should be named after Obaseki for his selfless service.
Oshiomhole said while he was governor of Edo, Obaseki helped him build the economy team of the state with his network.
“I know my limit. He knows his limit. Godwin Obaseki has worked for seven and half years for the people of Edo state, using his brain, creativity, quietly, not making noise,” Oshiomhole said.
“He sits in the office of the economic team which he built using his network of friends inside the heart of government house without demanding one naira.
“A man like that who will not ask me to give him contracts, but will promise me, comrade, you just do the thinking, we will create the means to actualise your thoughts. And to his credit today, check the books of Edo state, we did not build new structures in government house with government money. That economic team office was built through Godwin’s network. Today, it remains a permanent asset of the state government.
“I want us to be calling that building Godwin Obaseki building. I don’t see your opponent Ize-Iyamu being able to say that. In 2007, check the records, Ize-Iyamu was hiding from EFCC. He didn’t not vote. How can somebody who didn’t vote claim that he made me.
“If you have to look at Godwin and his credentials and you look at a man whose only work, by his CV, was a student and rusticated for two years, he read law but he is not a barrister. That is his foundation. I never gave him government job. Lucky Igbinedion’s mother was reported to have slapped Ize-Iyamu for misleading her son. He tried it with me, but we kept him away. Nothing near government circle. No access to public funds.
“Look at the road to his house, in our books, was dual carriage way. They took the money, constructed the road to his house and stopped. Although we have liquidated the godfathers politically, the entire political family will be liquidated.”

This is what African traditional religion could not do for us.
Missionaries brought, not only religion but education, good health care, abolished slave ownership, stopped the killing of twins, built good roads and bridges, demystified witches and wizards by treating sicknesses and diseases attributed to them.
For those of you calling Christianity a white man's religion, I have a question for you.
How was African traditional religion benefiting us before Christianity was introduced? www.nairaland.com/attachments/4138528_fbimg1471362711749_jpeg32428b294a57b4debde63e3fd7301227 |

Very old hospital, saved a lot of lives during the war The oldness of the hospital is not apparent in any of the pictures shared. No structure/building indicates its oldness and that is sad. Not even framed pictures of the old building(s) before they were destroyed. Tragic! |

[quote author= post=93168375]IyienuMission Hospital celebrated 110 yrs anniversary 2018[/quote]Unfortunately there is no legacy building from that era, maintained excellently to be functional still.
What a loss and wasted opportunity for historical continuity.
So sad. |

Close-up, Nigerian brewery, Dangote, access bank, Oando, Shell, UBA, etc all prefers to give endorsement to a dead musicians, to BBN, etc instead of the football (goldmine).
Hypocritical gesture and eye service... The companies follow the preferences of the people in their markets. When we start showing preference for our own league, the companies will follow suit. We need to privatise our league and football teams since YESTERDAY! |

The problem is the people managing the league. They don't package and sell it well.
There were times Nigerians preferred foreign musicians to local ones. Then some people came in and changed things. Too much government control over the league and football management in general? Do you think that is the koko of the matter How many of the European football teams and leagues are owned and run by their governments? |
