gentleman is not really gentle afterall |
Well, I'll buy it after one year of no recorded incident of house burnt due to this devise! |
Krucifax:name any planned project in abuja, lagos has already done it, it is presently doing it,or it plans to do some thing better. |
Krucifax:not according to census details, not according to nigerian mentality and definitely not according to people's observation. on this thread, you have just been told about empty estates. In lagos, estates are probably sold before they are even built. Abuja is unique in that it was created from other states as a unity state with no tribal antecedent. It's for every Nigerian.the tribal antecedent of lagos has not stopped it froM being the nerve center of the country, years after it lost its status as a capital. Abuja has far greater infrastructure than Lagos and was built to plan.built to plan? ,yes, Greater infrastructure? no compare and contrast, national theather Tafawa belewa square number of military barracks federal bridges federal hospitals hotels federal roads housing estates company headquarters hi rise buildings and so on Abuja's true landmass had not even reached 50% occupation. While Lagos is already saturated and having to reclaim land from the sea. Meaning Abuja has far more potential and opportunities than Lagos.modern technology and the ability to build vertically more than horizontaly has thrown such advantage to the dustbin. There is still land in lagos, go to epe badagry and ikorodu. The fact that developers are reclaiming land from the sea shows you that people prefer to stay in lagos than stay in Abuja. eko Atlantic is a very good example. Abuja is at the heart and centre of Nigeria and can be easily assessed from any part of Nigeria.depends, why do I want to assess Abuja ?Abuja has better statistics on crime,infrastructure,schools,health care than Lagos.statistics does not depend only on number of crimes, the ratio is important. The number of schools in my local government is more than the number of schools in abuja health care? government or private or both? Abuja presents far more business opportunities than Lagos due to business saturation in Lagos. Whilst Lagos is an already mature market Abuja is relatively virgin territory where ideas of products and services can flourish.good, you just showed us that Abuja, like other places in nigeria is still up an coming Also for foreigners,diaspora and even Nigerians at home Abuja is saner,safer,cleaner and far more organised than Lagos.and yet , airline traffic to lagos is far far more than Abuja. hotels in lagos are more than hotels in Abuja recreational centres in lagos are filled all year round. There are more foreigners in lagos than the whole country combined, they gave even started having communities. Lagos' best days are behind it and it's on the decline. Abuja is the future!!goggle eKo Atlantic, lagos is light years ahead and still developing! |
I just wonder how these hard drugs thing work. Some are caught bringing it into the country, some are caught taking it out. can't this people buy from each other without getting near the airport? |
bukatyne:a coy who has staff strength of 10 contributes minutely to the traffic, but 100 coy of such staff strength in same location do. This is minus the main contributor of traffic, which is the lone, single business man who go to the island everyday in thier hundreds of thousands. The staff bus theory does not work here. provision of staff bus cus 40 of staff live in same area will not work, most staffs dnt own the houses they live in, thus they are not permanent residence in same area. look at this scenario, my girl friend live in abule egba , she works on the Island. The method she approached for transport is to sign up for a transport service which provides a very good bus, gets to location on time, and leaves for the island at a particular time everyday. This bus is not a company bus but a transport service offered by an individual, and payment is on monthly basis. If you dnt pay before month end, someone else takes your spot. The above is what you should be talking about and not company buses. with the approach above, 12 people can be working for different companies while enteeing the same good, AC tite bus to work. dnt you think this method is better? [qoute]If I have to pay N1,500 daily for packing space, I would naturally explore other ways to get to work.[/quote]try that and watch your clients go to other offices! Even if people are scared of water, the 'brave/adventurous' ones would use the water and decongest the road for others.I'm brave(it depends sha), but if I'm to choose which option to take, I'll prefer the bridge, do you like to one day experience being left on the boat while the boatman has swam away to look for mechanic to repair the propeller ? or you want to watch nature with your own eyes as storm gathers while you are in the midle of the lagoon ? I believe Nigerians are becoming politically mature and can see through the politicians & their white elephant projects.good, when we finally become mature, politicians will change, but we are still in the process, " becoming" like you said |
hope prison beans will be able to maintain those cheeks sha! |
olihilistic:cue na you dey control the marriage abi! |
everybody is now the "yoruba demon" thing, dnt worry, one day one day, one of una go grow black wings......... continue |
mercy aigbe should have been thank full it was not Mexican police that stopped her! |
How to fall from the top: call your vice president a mere Comission er. |
bukatyne:they should have started already 1. Companies should mandate the use of staffbuses and encourage car pooling by not providing parking space or making it extremely expensive.the companies will probably not do so cus 1. dnt think companies can force you in the decision of your mode of transport after or before work. 2. not all workers of same area close same time or live in same area. 3. Most companies have staff less than 10, staff bus is not an option 4. companies will rather spend money to find parking space than reduce it. 2. Companies introduce telecommuniting and flexi-working to reduce mad rush to the Island daily.if that where posSible, some would have tried it, in nigeria, you must be at your station before oga arrives. 3. Govt should develop other parts of Lagos so they are attractive for investors and everyone doesn't feel they have to be on the Island and Ikeja.not everywhere can be a business district, geography and geo politics wunt allow that. look at NYC and compare it to the state. 4. Build a solid water transport system... Ajah to Ikorodu is about 10mins via water. God blessed Lagos with a lot of water... Epe, Ajah, Apapa, Marina, Lekki, V/I etc.actually it's like 15 to 20 mins, ikorodu to the jetty is like 30 mins, the jetty at ajaH to lekki express is like 15 mins. The water transport might help, but it wunt totally solve it 1. storm issues 2. nigerians and superstition issues 3. night time issues,( it's totally totally dark at night) Ambode, think outside the box!the political situation in naija will not allow too much thinking outside the box. He did not get their by himself alone, he needs to provide contracts for those useless people. And they wunt take small contracts that wunt bring big money. Secondly, due to too many years of underdevelopment, nigerians only see a governor who does white elephant projects as the one performing. In 2019, will you vote for Ambode cus he solved transportation problem?, no, but they will vote for him cus he built the 4th mainland bridge, even if the traffic problems continue |
Kazrem:one thing we should agree on about lagosians is that they love driving their cars. There can be good public transport system but an average lagosIan will still use his or her car all day. why? 1. nigerians dnt like to walk long distances if they can avoid it. 2. lagos city was never planned so a planned public transport system cannot solve the issue of walking a few metres from your office or home. 3. One of the things naija peeps use to shine above their peers is the ride they use, how can you shine when your car is always parked! |
oduastates:metro train on the island? almost impossible and too expensive increase tariff on anything in nigeria and people will go up in arms. ring streets with overground rail? Haba, hope you have been to lagos island? |
oduastates:their work/office is on the island. The offices cannot move to ketu just because the government created a business district their. Most new business district development do not decrease the population of existing business districts, though it affects it's expansion. The 4th mainland bridge is not for the island and ikorodu alone, it solves the problem of transportation for a whole lot of other areas too. |
Papafriday:you say!!! |
TrueHeart365:if jonathan were the president presently, your clients will probably have not been able to delay payments...... They will probably not be able to pay you at all! |
TrueHeart365:you should have been specific on how much power was generated before buhari. They tell us how how they have generated daily, news media also report it. I did not enjoy power during GEJ era, could remember some wailers attributing the increase in power supply during buhari first few months to rainfall. He is restructuring cus the foundation was faulty, that's why it's collapsing everytime. spending billions to build power stations with no provision or agreement on power supply. giving saboteurs chance to make billions, instead of using those billions to empower the security forces who can do a better job. paying oil marketers billions for petrol they did not import and giving them the opportunity to hold the nation by the balls anytime the money was not payed. I wonder how gona could have been able to pay those guys now if he had won, oh, he would have depleted the foreign reserves further and after that put the nation into extreme debt. 2) did you know Nigeria doesn't have a budget, no economic policies for almost half a year now. First the budget was padded, next some things were excluded and more excuses keep coming.the system was currupt, jona made it worse, you only hear about padding now cus the system is being restructured. If jona where the president, there will be padding, but you wunt hear about it. No economic policies?, plsss. you cant tell us one thing on how jona would have done things differently from how it's done now, probably he might have devalued the currency? 3) need I mention his silence over the fulani massacres all over the place? What is he clinically restructuring I ask you?this is the only point that you posted that is correct. but do you notice that the nigerian soldiers are no longer running from boKo haram! 4) he says he's fighting corruption, we both know his cabinet and allies is filled with people with questionable characters. Abi Na only opposition dey corrupt ni?So because of that, he should stop fighting curruption? or because people in his cabinet are currupt he should stop prosecuting the currupt one he has decided to prosecute? are you saying those he is prosecutin are not currupt? are you saying he should behave like Jonathan and not prosecute anyone? 5) Jonathan may have given the pipeline protection contracts to the wrong people, but it's a no brainer that you need to hand over such responsibilities to private hands as it's done in developed countries.there is no probability there, Jonathan had given given pipeline protection contract to the wrong people. This is the problem that we are facing today, Jonathan had given them enough money to cause trouble if they dnt have their way again. 6) please tell me how many countries David Cameron, Angela markel, Australian prime minister, Canadian prime minister, Russian president have visited since assuming office as they tackle economic challenges with successes.those countries never had an ineffectual buff**n, who had done the nation's image much damage, so they dnt need to travel to other countries to repair such damage. Lastly. Can you name one weapon the military is using to win the war against boko haram that buhari purchased?yep, the army that ran away from their barracks is restructured. The army that was fighting with no weapon is restructured. The army that ran to another country after they where attacked was restructured. If the opposition can be sponsored by western countries, you could not do anything to change their mind or stop it, then you have no right to commander in chief, you cannot protect your people! jonathan once used the phrase "America will know", maybe they know what Dasuki was doing with the NSA money. I can go on but that will be a waste of my time educated an apc ignoramus zombie.they might be ignoramus zombie, but they knew they had to correct the mistake they made in 2011. |
MEXICO CITY — Municipal police officers encircled the bus, detonated tear gas, punctured the tires and forced the college students who were onboard to get off. “We’re going to kill all of you,” the officers warned, according to the bus driver. A policeman approached the driver and pointed a pistol at his chest. “You, too,” the officer said. With a military intelligence official looking on and state and federal police officers in the immediate vicinity, witnesses said, the students were put into police vehicles and taken away. They have not been seen since. They were among the 43 students who vanished in the city of Iguala one night in September 2014 amid violent, chaotic circumstances laid bare by an international panel of investigators who have been examining the matter for more than a year. The reason for the students’ abduction remains a mystery. Despite apparent stonewalling by the Mexican government in recent months, the panel’s two reports on the case, the most recent of which was released on Sunday, provide the fullest accounting of the events surrounding the students’ disappearance, which also left six other people dead, including three students, and scores wounded. The reports describe a night of confusion and terror for the students and city residents, and a seemingly clinical, coordinated harvest by Mexican law enforcement officials and other gunmen operating in and around Iguala, in Guerrero, one of Mexico ’s poorest and most violent states. The government said 123 people, including 73 municipal police officials, had been detained on organized-crime charges in relation to the night’s events, and the Mexican authorities have linked the Iguala police force to a powerful drug gang. The 43 students were undergraduates at Escuela Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos, a teachers college, in Ayotzinapa, with a history of activism. They were among about 100 students who headed out on the evening of Sept. 26, 2014, with a plan to steal some buses. This was a tradition that students at the school had done for many years: They would take the buses, use them to transport their peers to an event and then return them when they were done. The bus companies and the authorities mostly tolerated it. The plan for the outing that evening was to secure several buses to carry students to a march in Mexico City several days later to commemorate a student massacre that had occurred in 1968. Riding in two buses they had commandeered on earlier occasions, they stationed themselves on a main road on the outskirts of Iguala, planning to intercept a few buses. “All of us were happy, having a blast, relaxed, happy with the drivers, playing,” a student later testified, according to the panel’s first report. It relied on testimony from survivors, government security officials and other witnesses as well as reports from an interagency government command center. But the region’s security forces were already onto the students’ plans. The federal police stepped up patrols near the buses, and the command center linking local, state and federal police forces, as well as the military, kept tabs on the students. At 8:15 p.m., the students made their first strike, boarding a bus that had stopped in front of a restaurant. The driver knew the drill; bus companies generally instruct drivers that in the event of a student hijacking, they should remain with the buses to ensure their safe return. The bus driver said he needed to make a pit stop at Iguala’s central bus station. At the station, the driver surprised the students and locked them in the bus. Around 9:15 p.m., the students in the two other buses arrived at the station and freed their classmates. The group commandeered three more buses, leaving behind one that had no driver. The five buses then left for Ayotzinapa, three heading toward Iguala’s northern beltway, two toward the southern beltway. Then the shooting began. Several police cars pursuing the three northbound buses started firing warning shots into the air. But the threat of violence did not deter the students. A group of them left the buses and started throwing rocks at a police car that had blocked their path until the car drove away. At another point, a student sneaked up behind a police officer and tried to disarm him. As other police officers came to their colleague’s aid, the student ran away, and a police bullet ricocheted and struck him, lightly wounding him. As the convoy resumed its northward course through the city, police bullets hit the buses. The students threw themselves flat on the floor but ordered the drivers to keep going. Near the beltway, however, the police had blocked the road with a vehicle. Several students got off the buses and tried to lift the cruiser out of the roadway, but officers posted on the highway opened fire on the group, forcing the students to seek cover behind the buses. Investigators later counted 30 bullet holes in one of the buses. As bullets flew and windows shattered, one of the students, Aldo Gutiérrez, was shot in the head. The first call to an emergency dispatch number was received at 9:48 p.m. Police officers shot at students who tried to rush to Mr. Gutiérrez’s aid. Another student was shot in a hand; the bullet sheared off several fingers. He sought shelter behind a truck, where two police officers ran over to him, and kicked and punched him. A third student was struck in an arm by a bullet. Ambulance crews managed to retrieve the three wounded students and take them to a hospital, along with a fourth student who suffered an asthma attack. “They all felt confusion, terror and helplessness,” wrote the panel, five lawyers and human rights experts from around Latin America. At one point, the police made a group of students who were hiding in the third bus disembark and lie on the ground. About 10:50 p.m., they were taken away in six or seven patrol cars. They are among the 43 students who disappeared. Meanwhile, the two buses that took the southerly route had also run into trouble. About 9:40 p.m., just as the three-bus convoy was intercepted near the northern beltway, the police cut off one of the southbound buses, shattered its windows with tree branches and shot tear gas inside to flush out the passengers. The passengers were pulled from the bus and taken away: the rest of the 43 missing students. Elsewhere in the city, the police had stopped the other southbound bus. The students on board, who had received word by telephone of the other attacks, got off the bus and fled into woods. In a measure of the violent pandemonium that overcame Iguala that night, another bus and several other civilian vehicles came under attack even though they had nothing to do with the students. Los Avispones, a soccer team of high schoolers from the city of Chilpancingo, had played a match that night against a local team in Iguala. By 11:15 p.m., the players were aboard their bus and heading home. Their route out of Iguala took them through a state police roadblock where they were rerouted because of the confrontation between the students and the police, witnesses said. About seven miles outside Iguala, gunmen fired on the bus, killing a soccer player and the driver, and wounding seven other passengers. The attackers also fired at other passing cars, killing a 40-year-old woman who was riding in a taxi. Witnesses said the gunmen had included police officers, and ballistic tests found that some of the weapons used in the attack belonged to the Iguala municipal police department. “The most probable hypothesis is that the bus had been confused for one of those carrying the student teachers,” the investigators wrote. Some soccer players, including one who had been wounded in the eye and was bleeding profusely, managed to drive to a nearby army battalion but were offered no help. “They indicated that they couldn’t do anything because it wasn’t in their jurisdiction,” a witness testified. Meanwhile, at the entrance to the northern beltway, students who had survived the police fusillade against the three-bus convoy began to emerge from their hiding places and regroup at the scene around 11 p.m. The police had left by then, and the students sought to record the evidence of the attack while trying to communicate with their classmates in the other buses. Journalists, as well as some teachers, began to show up, and by midnight an impromptu news conference was taking shape in the middle of the road. About 12:30 a.m., a white sport utility vehicle and a black car drove by, their occupants taking photos of the gathering. Some were wearing bulletproof vests and hoods. Some witnesses said they also had seen a police car in the area. Fifteen minutes later, the vehicles returned, and three men jumped out and fired on the news conference from close range. Two young men were killed, and other people, including students and teachers, were wounded. The survivors fled into the surrounding blocks. A teacher and several students ran to a clinic to find help for the wounded. No doctor was present, but despite their appeals to emergency dispatchers and to military personnel who appeared at the clinic, an ambulance did not arrive for more than an hour. As late as 3 a.m., the bodies of the two young men still lay in the street, uncovered, in the pouring rain. By dawn, the situation had calmed down, and the surviving students who had been hiding across the city received word by telephone that it was safe to come out. Over the course of the morning, they gathered at the local offices of the attorney general, where they met with the authorities. That morning, the authorities also found the body of another student, Julio César Mondragón, who had been at the news conference. He had fled when the shooting began and had become separated from the group. His facial skin and muscles had been torn away from his head, his skull was fractured in several places, and his internal organs were ruptured. His condition, the investigators wrote, “shows the level of atrocities committed that night.” source: new York Times |
sexybaby22:So if rich man pikin decide to do what she likes, she don dey copy the first person wey do am be that! |
Sweetguy25:nigeria is probably the only country in the world that has been giving saboteurs billions to protect her assets. never thinking of what this saboteurs will do if the money stop coming in! |
obo389:a good government finds solution to problems, then protects the solution. why do you think military heads are being sent to the niger delta? |
FAYOSE! can you see how a business meeting is being organized! |
kingphilip:you know they are doing exactly that. electricity was getting better until the gas pipeline vandalising. A stupid govt will just repair the pipelines and wait for it to be vandalised again. A thinking govt will find a lasting solution to it. plus a second option in case such vandalism occurs again. imagine a station which was completed a while ago was not made functional due to issues, those issues have been solved now. On fuel issues, we dnt have foreign exchange to buy fuel, if the refineries had been repaired when we had enough money, we wunt be in these mess. but some preferred to be paying importers who quickly saw that the president was a buffoon and decided to double subsidy money while not importing the right amount of fuel. The refineries are functioning small small now, the fuel crises will go soon, and I hope finally . |
Ramnon2:yep, madness brought upon them by condition. |
At this moment, SaraKI can even beg my dog if it will save him, realisation that you might end up in prison can make you become very gentle and peace full. |
Ramnon2:if you had said that in front of those prisoners, you would have received correct prison slaps from the prisoners. |
op , pls can you give us details on the HSBC and British bank account of buhari? at least those data must still be intact. op, can you give us the adress of buhari's abuja mansion? op, you need to donate your organs and force- stop your brain from functioning. |
kingphilip:you uncover first, you then indict before you sentence. If dem merge am together now, some people will start complaining again. |
bykebyke:ha, the guy don vex you finish! |
OLADD:So these are the developments you can list? nigeria sold more crude during gej period cus there was little wahala in niger delta then. Not only that, nigeria sold those crudes at a much much higher price. The roads you can't list, the electricity we no see, he even imported rice for his campaign and gave waivers for rice imports as he was about to leave office. yes he did tried in railway development by importing 1900 trains, even Kenya ,with all their shout of corruption did better in that sector. compared to the amount of money nigeria made during that period, he did nothing! Remember his slogan during his campaign? " we will do this and that" |
Neymar could face a ban in La Liga after slapping Antonio Barragan after Barcelona’s defeat to Valencia on Sunday evening. Last season’s treble winners slipped to their third straight defeat in La Liga as they were beaten 2-1 at Camp Nou. And after the full-time whistle was blown, Barragan was celebrating with two of his team-mates when Neymar slapped the right-back on the side of the face from behind. |
