Sen. Giwa to become first elected female governor in Nigeria. She will be running under APC ticket. The former PDP senator defected from PDP to APC recently. The former special adviser to president Obasanjo is no political neophyte.having played naija politics at the highest levels for many years. Her connections within and outside abuja will certainly help her cause. Feelers in CRS is that the people are behind her, and if anyone can dislodge PDP and Ayade in CRS it will be Giwa. The present gov is said to be very uncomfortable with the new challenge thrown his way. This may be the sign of the death of PDP in CRS. |
Green Africa Airways (Lagos) is set to pursue its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the airline’s founder and CEO, Babawande Afolabi, has disclosed. “The need for a quality airline that will better connect people and resources in Nigeria and further open up the West African seaboard is unequivocally clear,” he told Branch Crunch Nigeria in an interview. ” That said, we’ve always thought that building Green Africa Airways is going to be a classic case of an enduring house painstakingly built one brick at a time.” The start-up was granted an Air Services Licence (ASL) just over a year ago. Afolabi did not disclose any launch timelines or early network plans. Source: ch-aviation.com http://www.atqnews.com/ng/green-africa-airways/ |
If we care about winning we should bring our best hands .Enyeama is tested and trusted . And still a first choice keeper in his french club. If we just want to show up for the tournament, then lets go with the present crop of keepers. |
][b]Very illogical article, Nigeria has over 250 tribes. To single out only three in the article is a misrepresentation of fact. The south south are the mainstay of nigerian economy generating for 95% of Nigerias income. The South South of Nigeria is neither hausa, igbo nor yourba. The author of this joke should take note.![/b] |
Wow this is good he is continuing in the foot steps of Akpabio. that will be flyover #5 in Uyo alone, I think its time to spread out the development to other senatorial Districts. Eket, Ikot Ekpene SD should get Flyovers too. |
Demdem:Defending your oga is now a full time work thats what happens when you defend a criminal |
[size=40pt]LOL[/size] ![]() |
ujoinme:Okay thank you sir! A politician is known by their utterances, I will allow others to judge you by your utterance. I have already madeup my mind on who you are. Am no fan of Akpabio and his political Godson Udom, But it will be great if they can actualize this seaport project. |
ujoinme:So in other words you are confirming the relocation of the seaport? See I know you know more than you were telling. But somehow i still feel you are a politician. |
ujoinme:Whats your point exactly? I think we know the difference between the proposed industrial city and the deep seaport. we were discussing the site of the actual seaport. is it in Ibaka as originally proposed or has it been moved to ibeno as the MTBS(the consultant) website shows? If you have information to this regard kindly post it, and stop talking like a politician. you cant fool me. |
jazzydee:Jazzydee I think you were right i just found this: Ibaka deep sea port relocated to new site THE proposed Ibaka deep sea port, Akwa Ibom, has been relocated to Ibeno Local Government Area, while the name has been changed to Ibom from Ibaka. Vanguard gathered that the project analysis done by a foreign consultant and Transaction Advisers, FELAC Concept and Marine and Transport Business Solutions, MTBS, of Netherlands, showed that the port project would not be commercially viable if sited at Ibaka due to its long distance from the sea.. A source close to the Ministerial Steering and Delivery Committee for the port who spoke to Vanguard, explained that the project had to be moved initially to Okposo. The source further noted that the same problem of distance from the sea as well as the dense population, made it non-viable. The source said that the soil analysis on Okposo showed that the earth there is marshy which would further drive up the cost of construction should it be sited there. The source pointed out that the project had to be moved again to the third site at Ibeno Local Government Area and the name had to be changed from Ibaka to Ibom, like all other projects of the state to give it a state colouration. The distance from the new site to the sea is about 20 nautical kilometres and also it is closer to the connecting expressway for quick evacuation of consignments from the port at completion, the source disclosed. The source also said that the area is less populated, making compensation for displaced persons easy, as well as making the new site for the project commercially viable. The transport ministry source said that one of the major challenges faced by the committee at the new site was the presence of under-ground oil pipelines. The source explained that the Committee held several meetings with the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, National Petroleum Investment Management Services, NAPIMS, and the various oil companies on how to work around the pipelines. The oil companies agreed to relocate some of the pipelines that were no longer active away from the area to aid quick construction of the port. The source explained that construction work on the project is expected to commence sometime next year on a Public, Private Partnership. It added that a few little details left on the part of government would soon be taken care of for construction work to commence. On financing, the source disclosed that the private sector is expected to have 60 percent while the Federal and state governments are expected to hold 20 percent each. According to the source, “No government can fund a port project but it can only be achieved through a Public/Private sector partnership.” Foreign concerns are already making inquires on what is required to partake in the financing of the project. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/12/ibaka-deep-sea-port-relocated-new-site/#sthash.P0rOBdyw.dpuf |
jazzydee:I don't know for sure but if you click on the source of the news i posted above you will find a location for the Ibom Deep seaport, it is no way near Ibaka, but is right on the atlantic ocean. I dont know if they made a mistake on the position or if it is the actual site for the seaport. |
Yay, finally The ibom seaport project has been approved after a lot of foot dragging. Thank God, this is going to be a game changer for Nigeria. |
Nigeria’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) has formally approved the ongoing development of the Ibom Deep Seaport & Free Trade Zone in Akwa Ibom State. Felak Concept Limited (Abuja, Nigeria) and MTBS (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) are the Transaction Advisors for the project. The project is monitored by the Ministerial Project Development and Steering Committee (MPDSC). FEC approval paves the way for the upcoming PPP Concession tender by means of which international port investors and operators are identified and selected for the development. The Ibom Deep Sea Port & Free Trade Zone is a Greenfield port and FTZ development in Akwa Ibom State in southeast Nigeria. The port is projected to become a cargo gateway for the vast central and eastern Nigerian markets and beyond. Development and subsequent operation of the port will generate substantial economic activity in the region. http://www.dredgingtoday.com/2015/06/16/ibom-port-development-plan-gets-ok/

All the state r looking for oil money except lagos. |
barcanista:Talk about your lazy state IGR and free Akwa Ibom you hateful and tribalist hypocrite. |
Story for the Gods! APC is yet to recover from the loss that they suffered in Akwa Ibom Guber! This is what happens when fake change campaigns against a solid and on the ground for all to see uncommon transformation. Fake change will lose all the time. ![]() |
Rotimi47:Niger deltans do not need to fight or threaten anyone, after all we are enlightened and not Boko Haramites, We will simply starve you parasites. He that pays Nigeria dictates the tune. |
peegirl:Watching is the first line of action until there is an anomaly then there will be a reaction. |
itetemi:Personally i think Amaechi should be put on a sucide watch this guy may just kill himself after being rejected by such wide margins by rivers state voters and being tagged a judas in Niger Delta. |
mjames:you mean the same fraud like massive rigging and underage voters in the north whose back Buhari rode to win the controversial presidential election? |
Why did Amaechi beg rivers people for forgiveness during the easter after the presidential election? http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=112683 E bi like say Guilty conscience don they worry this soon to be ex- governor! Thats whats happens when you receive 30 pieces of silver, young people learn from this. |
world888:I am praying for APC to do exactly what you have suggested infact i double dare APC to do it! If they don't they are all a bunch of ball less politicians. |
Demdem:Keep dreaming sore loser. |
Demdem:[size=15pt]So you are not mad but just a sore loser? Buhari lost election 3 times but he didnt lose the respect and love of his people, GEJ lost an election but has not lost the love of his people, Amaechi has lost the election and worst has lost the love and respect of his people(rivers state), That is a greater price that even the highest political position will not replace! let him enjoy his 30 pieces of silver with his new people and friends in the North And SW![/size] |
momo22:[size=13pt] The people of rivers do not need congratulatory message from Amaechi or any message at all from him what they want from him is for him to vacate the government house on may 29th and move to Abuja to collect his 30 pieces of silver purchase his Akeldama there and dwell amongst his new masters and leave rivers alone, he has made his bed let him lay on it. He sent an Apology to rivers people After the presidential election where 1.4million people voted against his treachery, the rivers people responded to his apology by voting him and his Party out of rivers state government house by a margin of over a million. See Amaechis messages are not needed in Rivers state. he is an anathema even in his own village an ward.[/size] |
Demdem:[size=15pt]Are you mad because Amaechi Lost or are you mad because the margin of the loss was so high over a million votes, or is it because its in your nature to be mad all the time?[/size] |
momo22:Responding with Insults, to being told the truth is a sign of immaturity, grow up Sore loser! |
Demdem:[size=15pt]You are the hypocrite since you were celebrating Buharis win with massive rigging and underage voting in the north and now disputing a free and fair election in Rivers state with no underage voters.[/size] |
phantom:[size=15pt]Sore Loser! learn how to lose honourably. I know democracy is new to APC for just a few years ago they were getting into power through the barrel of a gun and were used to dictatorship. Its a new dawn in nigeria you guys need to learn fast. When you lose elections you do the honourable thing and congratulate the winner and move on.[/size] |
Demdem:Sore loser!=APC, APC = Sore loser! |
[size=15pt]I double Dare APC to change the result of Rivers state election, And we will reveal to Nigeria that Katsina is not the only state that can stand solidly behind their Son.[/size] |
