Nobody will blame you for not understanding. That 'portion' as you called it used to keep travellers going to the east overnight on the road,exosing them to frequent attacks and robbery. Today,many transport companies have resumed night journeys because of the repair of that portion. Traders can now continue their business without hinderance as a result. Goods can now move thru the night and arrive at its designated location by morning. All because of the tarring of this 'portion'.
Don't worry,nobody expects you to understand

So in reality it's just a small portion!, no wonder I did not understand. Jona gave you small small portions of structural developments in 6 years!. I bet the money used for that portion is not up to the one he gave those shameless yoruba obas, and yet they voted him out for not developing the sw with big projects.

I know a young, beautiful, well endowed lady sometime ago in the university, her name is dami(not real name), we happened to be in the same department. she was dating a friend of mine who happens to be in the same department but not on the same level.( ill call him dave).
There relationship was the envy of every one and dave was always taking care of her needs. He was always taking her to places in his ride and even payed for her hostel apartment, and this continued even after dave finished, went for NYSC and got a job in a bank . The relationship started when dave was in 300 level and damI was in 100 level.

A few years later, there was a party in which I invited another friend of mine who lives on my street, a graduate from another university named jibe. dami also came along with dave which is not suprising as both of them are always together, and at the party, both of them where having a nice time together. while the party was going on,jide saw dami on the dance floor and told me privately to introduce her to him since he noticed that I know damp cus he saw me talking to the her. I told him straight that it was an impossible mission, that though I know him as a successful player, these babe is out of his reach, she has a guy she is in love with, the guy is financially ok, and he is more handsome than him, in fact everyone is expecting them to get married soon, in fact I pointed to dave, to show jide that her boyfriend is less than 2 feet away from her.

My street friend jude, immediately told me I've got a lot to learn about women, he said he will enlighten me and use dami as an example. He quickly left me and went to meet dami on the dance floor(at that time she was dancing while her boyfriend was sitted, jisting with another guy) I stopped being interested in there case cus I thought nothing will come out of it, and also as an organizer of the party with over a hundred quests, I was busy seeing to their needs.

About two weeks later, jide sent a message to me on my blackberry messager with the following words," mission accomplished, you go buy beer for bush flavours while I jist you". Understanding who he is and knowing he was talking about women, I quickly replied him with the words " guy, if person dey buy beer for you just to hear your story about women, the money go done reach to buy nigerian breweries, no show today".
Our conversation continued thus:

jide:" This just concern you"

me: (with fear in my mind thinking one of my female cousins had fall ing for him typed) " you wan start to dey lie, who she be"

jide:" you sabi her wella, dami na".

mevery much suprised, but still suspecting it's a lie) " 7pm, Bush flavours"

later that day, we met at the joint and he gave me details with proofs of how he has and will still be bang**g dami.

You mean carrying a few trucks and machinery to site is one of his a compliments? did he complete any road in the east in his over six years of presidency?
I want to know too!, why you keep saying he is hero.

If Jona is a hero I can say obasanjo is a demi God , cus I can list his developmental achievements as a leader in nigeria.

interesting, so nigerians had been doing high speed,high calibre lead projectile inclusive, death dealing car chases in the 60's. that dimka na badt guy, liked the way he was killed though, kill by the gun, die by the gun!

interesting, the only road you guys can use to defend Jona in 5 years of presidency is a portion of the shagamu Benin highway called the Benin ore road. I taya for una o.

prospero5:
that Jonathan's name appear on a piece of writing doesn't tell a thing. even school children can write essays on Jonathan. what's the big deal?

that Jonathan's name appears on a piece of paper detailing how the yams where shared with his surpport tells a lot!.

Yes, Nigeria gains nothing by killing, but it will lose resources by keeping him alive. at least the prisoner go chop food na.

of cus its buhari that's behind your ordeal, or do you think it's Jona? ole!

What happens when you have a clueless leader?
answer: his subordinates will feel its ok to steal this how, that how , and anyhow!.......expecially when that leader has informed them that stealing is not corruption!

I pity naija if Jona had won.

WhoRUDeceiving:
But you already answered your own question/thoughts by talking about the useless governors/leaders.

People last year out of sentiment voted in an old coupist and you expect everyone in the world to follow like the Sai Buhari fools did, even in far away Arabia?

But is this the first time? When your leaders are going there for MEDICAL CHECKUP, to buy property (or in nearby Dubai), or for Haij and being deported or stampeded like monkeys and yet another batch is ready to go the next month from Abuja or Kano? As for receiving Buhari, really? The Arabs, and in fact the world knows the truth about Nigeria and that it was and still is a British created Zoo that still answers the N.igga Area name.

SO please, don't get all heated up or feel insulted. The truth is the truth

haba! what did you expect people to do, to vote for the certified in****tubal buf***N? If we had done that , there will be no money to to Saudi Arabia talk less about being embarrassed there!

a tribal project that does not have the visible surpport of its political,spiritual and financial class will not succeed.
A tribal project that half of its leading members are only after their pockets will not succeed.(remember the passport project).

my friends from the east are always known to implode from within when it comes to collective projects, be it presidency or senate president or even socio cultural organization's. let the biaf*a project take more steam and watch the main organization's eat each other up.

ngozi did not know anything about a foreign account used by the nnpc to loot the proceeds from crude oil sales. she knew the account existed , but does not know how much is there, why the account was opened or who operated it! and she had the audacity to tell the Senate that. why wunt subsidy thief inflate their loot!

The technology she and the buf***N had been shouting about through out the election period had been used by some to multiply their salaries and yet she did not know.

I think this is an opportunity from our so called industrialised from the east to catch on an show they are not just mere traders of imported products.
If I can't afford to buy 10000 naira Italian shoe, wunt I buy 1200 a a made shoe? or if tokunbo car goes for 5m, wunt I be forced to buy innoson for 2m!

Achuwa1:
Coz locally produced goods are also in the rise simultaneously with imported goods,,,
so wats the essence of suffering the masses when u cant even boost the agricultural u claim u want to improve..
..

and you think say if he devalue the currency ,the price of garri will come down!

report fire! when you report, the only thing in their mind will be how to arrest you.

heard a lot bout the airport remodelling until I had to travel and saw the wonderful work done with my own eyes.
The toiled was locked at a beautiful sign said showed it was under repairs.

one beautiful bucket was also placed beside where I was seated, being steadily filled up with clear rain water or liquid coming from the ceiling.

The only thing on that machine that you can use to move without actually walking(dnt know the name)is its old engine.
The most beautiful, most remodelled thing I saw was a billboard of Jona with that buf****nic smile of his.
Though i had to wait like 3 hours to retrieve my luggage but I enjoyed the show of one elderly oyinbo man shouting at all the officials cus one of them collected N2000 and disappeared while not doing the job he collected the money for. Some officials wanted to collect money from him to help search for the missing official.

op, is this the ikorodu campus or Isolo campus?

It's no prophecy, he was already planning austerity measures while he was president, even when the oil price was high. but he could not succeed then and would have been worse than buhari now cus stealing to him is not curruption.

Yes bhai made and will still make mistakes, but if Jonathan had won that election, there will be no more mistakes to make, there will be no economy to salvage. I shudder when I think of the horror we will be in if Jona is in charge.

rusher14:
No vex.
But Kanu was arrested on the 14th of October, 2015.
By my calculation that makes it exactly 4 months since his arrest .
So my question is was your arrest before or after Kanu's arrest?

he should have mentioned the date he was arrested.

How can you be quarrelling and be doing arrhS's! uuush! and oohs! to each other. its either you stop the quarrel or you stop the sex.

julioralph:
hmmm. if it was as a result of this post, den why did u pretend like u didnt see dis post b4

no need for us to beat around d bush. u have ur views, I have mine. but remember Paul warned us dat a tym will come wen pple will look for pastors/teachers who preach n mix d word of God wit what dey like to hear and not d True word of God.

So No vex bros... #DoWhatYouLike

how did I pretend not to see it. You and these your assumptions that exist only in your mind. You just jump to conclusions anyhow.
you mentioned wanking and sin, saying a pastor said wanking is not a sin, I asked if wanking is a sin, you said yes. now I asked , what is wanking and how is it a sin, all you have done to to parambulate and bring assumptions of my personality.

Some from across the Niger will not come here with pictures of warehouses and boreholes. These is too big for them to argue against.

just read what there presi, the clue**s one tried to do to this enviable project.

On the relocation of the Egina project from LADOL fabrication yard in Lagos to Agge in Bayelsa, the stakeholders said neither the Federal Government nor the Nigerian Ports Authority has a right to ask the company or the project to relocate to Bayelsa.
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) had on April 27, 2015, directed LADOL Integrated Logistic FZE to relocate its FPSO project to Agge, where its claimed to have provided facilities for such operations.
The letter, titled: “Joint Venture Partnership with Samsung Heavy Industries for USD $500 million Development of a fabrication and integration yards for Egina and future projects” was signed by the General Manager in charge of capital projects, Mr. A.R Mohammed, an engineer.
The letter addressed to LADOL’s Managing Director, reads in parts: “Please be informed that Mr. President has vide Press/99/MT/212 of April 20th, 2015 approved that the FPSO project can be relocated to Agge Bayelsa State, where the facilities to handle such operations are developed. In addition, the project can be conveniently located at any dedicated oil and Gas Terminal.”
The second letter titled “Discharge of oil and Gas related cargoes” directed that vessels carrying oil and gas cargoes should first go to the appropriate NPA concessioned terminal to be cleared by customs and other relevant authorities, including terminal operators and shipping lines, and pay necessary charges before proceeding to locations for final discharge.
Agge is said to be a fishing community in Ekeremo Local Government Area (LGA) of Bayelsa State. Located in the mouth of Atlantic Ocean, reports say it cannot be accessed by road. Although it is the largest community in the council area, it may not have social amenities, except electricity supplied by Agip Oil Company from a gas turbine installed for ease of operations. The company extended electricity to the rural dwellers free of charge.
The Managing Director of the Lagos Deep Offshore logistics (LADOL) Dr. Amy Jadesimi, who reacted to the relocation directive, said it was impossible for the project to be relocated, especially to Bayelsa.
“We got the two letters the same day, a day after the appointment of the new Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Alhaji Sanusi Bayero. The letters are diversionary in content, and the stakeholders should not allow them to distract their attention from the goals of providing one of the biggest floating vessels in the world, and making Nigeria the West Africa oil and gas hub, among other laudable objectives. We do not have any problem with the NPA. NPA has office in LADOL free trade zone. It has been following our construction in the zone. By the end of 2017, we would have invested $500 million privately in the NPA facility. And so, the letter surprised me. We are asking for clarifications. The two letters they sent to us are impossibilities. I want to believe that NPA has been misled. They do not know the implication of what they are doing. Tactically and technically, it is impossible for the project to be relocated to Bayelsa”.
According to her, the financial and social implication “of this proposed relocation will be too huge to quantify. First, one needs to take cognizance of the fact that although the $3.8 billion FPSO integration is taking place at LADOL base, other companies such as Dormalong, Aveon, to mention but few, are poised to provide ancillary services”.
She said the project could attract direct employment of 5,000 workers and 50,000 indirect employments.
“ FPSO means a floating vessel close to an oil platform, at a place where oil is stored or processed, waiting to be transferred to a tanker vessel for shipment. It is a project that will be handled by Total. When completed, it will bring a lot of multiplier effects on the national economy. Right now, the project site is 75 percent completed. Huge revenue accruable to government from this project along with the investments that would come with it in a short-term is put at $20bn. Apart from the job losses, revenue losses to government is also an avoidable possibility, if the relocation order is enforced”................

On the directive for the relocation of LADOL fabrication project to Bayelsa State, the SOAN President described it as “rubbish”.
“It is rubbish. Nobody should dream it. It is an attempt to cause confusion. I don’t even know where Agge is and I have not heard of that name before now. The Government should tell the world the kind of infrastructure and social amenities in Agge that will attract people to move into the place. They should give us a pictorial view of infrastructure, social facilities like telephone, roads, portable water etc available at Agge first.”
The president of the Council of Managing Director of Customs Licensed Agents, Lucky Amiwero, said the directive for the relocation of the Egina project was not in good fate, adding that the government and the NPA should be careful not to attract litigation.
“The NPA has no right to issue that directive. They have to look at the law that granted LADOL the use of its present location in Lagos first. They are not the owner. If LADOL is a private orgarnisation, they don’t have the right to order its relocation, unless government or NPA has a share in it. The whole thing has to do with the law; it cannot be done, using political power. We have been operating in the country for 16 years without appropriate laws. Which law gave them power to relocate a company like LADOL”, he questioned.

BrightEye:
whenever I read this guy's posts , I do have the sense of humility. I see myself very tiny, compare to many huge things in the universe.

you think we are tiny? Go read about the "pillars of creation" and u'll see that that tiny is too big a word to use for our size

hala! madrid

amicable09:
She certainly would have died someday but not in the mysterious way she did. I hope you realize that she bled to death and of course her family was unaware all the while. I'm of the opinion that at least if they were married, the "husband" would have informed her family and if they could provide money or any form of support they would have offered it.

There is a huge difference between someone legally married and birthing babies and someone living with a man unmarried and giving him children, they are not the same thing. So, tradition stands. Poor dude has to do the needful.

now you are adding assumptions into the issue. We do not know if it's lack of money that caused her death. rich people too die during childbirth. there was nothing mysterious about her death. and I'm of the opinion that if it where money issues,the man would have asked the wife's family and they would have refused. dem wan collect, dem no ready give.

kingsarch2000:
bros you know your tradition. God bless you. Some bigots here are encouraging cohabition because they are involve in it. May God help them.

most posts I've read are not encouraging cohabitation, but are condemning the method used in punishing such Co habitation. marriage should not be made difficult if two individuals agree to marry each other.
A lot of people can marry igbo girls legally and not pay bride price and anybody from anywhere can do nothing about it!

Amireel:
Its a culture marry properly, all these yoruba's judging the igbo tribe you people should learn, you can only do this disgusting act in yourba land not with other tribes. give girl belle nur mean say you don marry ooooo. A word is enough for the wise. To the man in question sorry to say it serves him right because am well sure the lady must have reminded him oftentimes about dowry or paying homage to her family. Igbos don't joke with that no matter how illiterate the person may be. Am not an igbo girl tho so no insults please.

yorubas too dnt condone such acts, but they wunt cut the man or woman's neck cus of his or her mistakes. its solution you look for and not punishment, cus innocent lives are now involved!

someone who gives a woman belle and does not marry her in yorubaland knows he will not be able to fully participate in the community. A woman's case is worse, but both are allowed to live their lives. and in case they want to get married, they can do so with minimal difficulty! The difficulty of the marriage will be deliberately adjusted to the condition of the couple.

julioralph:
check my previous posts. but dis is part of it.

THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH U 'SHOW ME IN THE BIBLE CREW' IS THAT U GUYS NOW USE IT TO SIN AND DEN HIDE BEHIND THE BIBLE!!! JUST LIKE THE 'PASTOR/G.O' WHO SAID DAT WANKING IS NOT A SIN BECAUSE THAT PARTICULAR WORD WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE AV EVEN HEARD OF GIRLS WHO USE IT TO EXPLAIN AWAY THEIR NUMEROUS ABORTIONS
cheers.

It was because of this post I wanted to know what is wanking , how is it a sin! you believe the pastor is wrong, YET YOU CANT EXPLAIN HOW HE IS WRONG!

herbie27:
the bible said "give to ceaser what belongs to ceaser". That is why even church advice you do traditional marriage first and pay bride price b4 any other.

from the man's story, you should have seen that the bible is not their source of guidance, likewise the wife's family.
The man's poverty status is the reason for all these yawa. If the guy where rich and powerful, he will just bury the woman and continue with his life and nothing will happen!

donbenie:
A wise man does not pass judgement on a case until he hears the two sides of the story..jumping to pass judgement based on a man's version of a story is juvenile in my opinion..
Like every other Nigerian we twist the Bible to suit our purposes,am sure the Holy Book is strongly in support of proper marriages before procreation but it doesn't suit your needs does it..

what's proper marriage, if the man and the woman had registered their marriage at the registry, is that not proper marriage!

amicable09:
The adding money is for cutting short the life of their daughter. If she were to remain alive, they know the joy that will feel having their daughter bury them not necessarily to be alive to give them money. The lady should have buried both parents and not die while cohabiting with a man somewhere.

are you saying that the life of the woman was cut short by the man cus he did not perform marriage rites? what an excuse! The woman would have died! married or not!
