Nice, but one year is still not enough. He should have been expelled.

all4naija: The government shouldn't just go about arresting journalists though. It can only take them to court if they are found wanting with the information they published.

I think we still have a long way to go when it comes to press freedom. I know we will get there one day!

Do remember the story of Judith Miller who worked for Newyork Times? She was arrested, held in prision for some years by the US government before jailing her for refusing to name her source.

xtianh: so the money generated from these streets where are they taken to? If those citizens that pays tax through various medium cannot enjoy common good road then what are u saying?

Yes, some streets are like this in lagos, but I have come to understand that many of the untarred streets are pipeline streets. They cannot be tarred. An example is the Obawole-jojo-shaga road in agege.

Hey MOD! That's NOT NAOMI CAMPBELL. Get your facts right before misleading people with wrong heading. BTW, It can happen to anyone. The look on her face in the first picture is EPIC. Pele.

ABUSITE!

Rossikk: No, they have nowhere to dig the iron ore from. They just woke up one morning and decided to build a 700,000 ton per year steel plant and then wonder about the iron ore later. DAFT FOOL

When you don't know about something, you learn! He is lecturing you for free and you refuse to learn. WEMCO is just a cold rolling plant. They don't produce steel from iron ore. The only way they can get liqiud steel is from recycling steel scrap,

Nothing new, they are just recycling steel scraps and rolling. They should complete the steel plants in Nigeria so that we can produce steel from the iron-ore.

Real Madrid have usurped Manchester United as the most valuable football club on the planet for the first time since Forbes magazine began their rankings in 2004.The Red Devils have sat at the top of the list for nine years in a row but Jose Mourinho's men are now worth $135 million more (€103m) at $3.3 billion (€2.429bn), while Sir Alex Ferguson's side sit second in the business magazine's most valuable club list. Barcelona are perched comfortably in third -$565m (€434m) behind United but $1.274m (€978m) ahead of fourth-placed Arsenal - and rose 99 per cent in value over 12 months.
Bayern Munich fill out the top five having made the Champions League final last season as well as finishing second in the Bundesliga. Their value is sure to rise further in next year's rankings with the added interest of Pep Guardiola as coach, not to mention their triumph in this season's Bundesliga and a potential treble of trophies. AC Milan are the top-placed Serie A side in
sixth and the highest-placed club to be valued below the €1bn mark this year. However, they are also the only club in the top 10 which have
gone down in value over the last 12 months.
Chelsea's Champions League-winning season
saw maintain their place in the list and boost
their value by 18%, not so contrasting to the
team below them, Juventus, who saw their
value rise by 17% after returning to Scudetto-
lifting ways in 2012.
Manchester City rose from 13th to 9th in
Forbes' list after winning the Premier League
last season and qualifying for the Champions
League for the second successive campaign.
An English team not faring as well are
Liverpool, who were fourth in April 2008 but
find themselves 10th five years later as they
continue to suffer from not competing with
the European elite.
Outside of the top 10 sit Europa League
quarter-finalists Tottenham in 11th,
Bundesliga side Schalke in 12th, Champions
League semi-finalists Borussia Dortmund in
13th, Italian giants Inter in 14th and
Olympique Lyonnais in 15th.
The final five in the list are South America's
sole entrants Corinthians in 16th, Walter
Mazzarri's Napoli in 17th, German side
Hamburg in 18th, Olympique de Marseille (who
dropped 18% in value, the biggest drop in the
top 20) in 19th and Newcastle United perched
20th.
Interestingly, despite being considered one of
the most valuable clubs in the world, Paris
Saint-Germain fail to make the top 20, while
La Liga's top-three duo are the only Spanish
sides to make the list.

When you marry them all at tender ages and also stop them from going to school due to your insecurities. You can't eat your cake and have it.

Ozonna: HOR members representing SE region should be skinned alive. The creation of a new state especially in the SE region is just to balance this equation of every other region having 6 or 7 states and SE having 5 states.

Truth must be told, creation of another is a bad idea from economic point of view. However, to still corect this anomaly of unequal state among the regions, lets go back to Regional Governments instead of what we have now. Let each region elect a minimum of 10 -15 people that will make up the NASS and make laws on a part time basis (there pay should be per sitting). This will reduce the cost of governance drastically.

Finally this report still goes to show that the Northerners holds the ace

I believe it is the northerner and the SW who are suppose to be clamouring for states creation and not the SE. Some states in the north are bigger than the whole of SE. Kano state by land mass is bigger than all SE states put together. Kaduna state is a big as the SE. Why is it that it is the easterner that are feeling marginalised here?

The Writer: Are you kidding me? Seriously? You fill up the place with hotels and malls and more hotels. How many of these (aptly named) "rare" things are accessible to the common man living in a face-me-I-face-you room?

Hotel? Are you high on something? 90% of those pictures were taken in the streets.

belovedaja: That steel was initially plan to be sited in igboland precisely present day anambra state. In the feasibility report and even political consideration anambra was best suited for the project. High level of Anti-igbo policy by fgn then hindered our development as a country. GOD will judge

Why will the steel plant be in Anambra, when the iron ore itself is in kogi. Must you always paint yourself as victims. If you keep living like this, it will affect your self esteem.

Nice pictures of lagos. Its not really as bad as people always put it.
@Rossikk well done bro.

Geomac: All i know is that PDP will take over Lagos State and one or two SW States.

I'm not sure SW states want to go backwards again. I serious doubt that!

Very misleading post. The topic should be 'nigeria exports recycled steel in april'. I only know of SA and egypt that produces steel in africa. All these recycle steels are produced from scraps of imported steels. There many of these recycled steel plants in this country and most of them are producing sub-standard steels.

zonaking: Niger Delta militant - 75k/month, Boko Haram - 100k/month, NYSC - 19,800/month, mimimum wage (civil service) - 18,900/month. Choose your career wisely ! Which one would you recommend 4 your people! Nija I dey hail O!

Most cleaners in civil service takes more than minimum wage. Graduates and even OND holders don't take minimum wage so your analogy don't work.

dbride: Did GTB close shop here?

Did Dbanj close shop here?

Indeed! They need to be crushed. The issue is that, they are hiding amongst you people and I guess you guys are having sympathy for them. FISH them out!

Chillypelly: @ Dr Muzungu Sam Mbakwe Int'l Cargo Airport is the process of getting int'l flights permission. Nevertheless it has more flight traffic than the much celebrated Mallam Aminu Int'l Airport that is only for seasonal airlift of prilgrims and donkey transportation.

Are you kidding? MAIA is only for seaonal airlift? Don't just post anything here.

What of the car pack at the MMA2 that is still under used? The fourth floor is mostly completely empty. Why waste money in building another one?

They should perfect their lumia 920 first. I have not seen anyone who can download app from the app store. It is messy.

ayodot: 1st to comment

If after reading this piece, the best you could do is this. Then I think you deserve to be called st.upid.

informatix: Benz is only C-Class that is a durable car., BMW. Buying BMW. Is worse than throwing ur. Money in Third mainland Bridge Lagoon. Infact according to Yahoo cars BMW X5 is the world most unriliable car it can break down anytime anywhere. BMW. If you must buy than but 3series. I dont know of audi i wont comment. Honda and Toyota have proven their selves to be more reliable zero maintenance cost.

Lol. You are comparing Benz and BMW with toyota and Hondas. Its like comparing iphones with chinko phones. Don't be ridiculous.
