This is a good development for Nigeria. Private investment are the engine room of economic development in any developed societies and not the charade thats called government ran businesses. Good job dangote you can site your refinery anywhere that makes economic sense to you company as long as it is in Nigeria,employing nigerians,paying taxes in Nigeria and helping the Nigerian economy. Afterall the refinery in chad and Niger and other places are own by nigerian fat cats who stole the country's money and invested in foreign countries enriching foreign economies while nigerians languish at home. since independence nigerian leaders have stolen over $380 billion dollars from the country! where do this money go? to enrich foreign economies while nigerians suffer. This is why i am all in support of Dangote and every nigerian that invests at home. I pray for more dangote's in nigeria as that will be the game changer for our economy not the ta ta yo yo that the ministry of finance is playing in numbers with the nigerian economy. investment in the real sector of the economy is the way forward. |
ImperialYoruba: Everyone should go and look at OIC (Odua Investment Corporation) and see how they run their corporate investments and use their model to run Nigeria as a political investment.There is no way nigeria will be run like OIC for those who dont know this is how OIC runs lagos no one wants to be robbed blind by the corrupt godfather himself except his goons :The Liberty Report Tinubu and Fashola Tinubu and Fashola: accused by citizen of huge fraud A list tagged The Tinubu List has been forwarded to the Liberty Report by a citizen who claimed that the contents of the list constitute ill-gotten assets traceable to the strongman of Lagos politics, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Liberty Report has no independent way of authenticating the alleged corruption list. An email enquiry sent to the office of the governor of Lagos State was not responded to as at press time. The List is being published as a matter of public interest. Those accused in the list are public figures. The sender said he challenged Bola Tinubu or the EFCC to disprove the content. The list is reproduced below. THE TINUBU LIST – UNEDITED 1. 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi: A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land which was originally the Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979, but which now belongs to Tinubu. The certificate of occupancy of the property valued at N450 million was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office. 2. Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc Guest House. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public funds to rebuild and renovate it. The Lagos State Government bought the property and paid an undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600 million. 3. The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450 million, purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after Tinubu left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before leaving office. 4. The 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu – to develop as Royal Garden Housing Estate at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos. 5. The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project. 6. The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Ibukun Fakeye – his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project, which is not owned by the state government. 7. The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu. 8. While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by Tinubu, aided by Fashola. 9. The choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also, the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government. 10. Tinubu and Fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front – Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices: • The 3.8-hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion. • The fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million • The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a low-cost housing scheme valued at N5billion • The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion. • The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million. 11. Tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of Chagouri & Chagouri and Hitech Construction Ltd at a ridiculously low price at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos. 12. Tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed Fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government. 13. It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex. 14. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Government Reservation Area Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of Tinubu, Fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or were unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the skyrocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis. 15. Tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarters of Television Continental (TVC), which is owned by him, is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed. 16. Tinubu singlehandedly sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, Victoria Island which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy. 17. Eludoyin, fronting for Tinubu, built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area. 18. Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road, with Lagos State funds and has now converted it to personal use. 19. Tinubu owns the Fara Park Estate and the Beach Wood Estate both in Lekki. 20. The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and equipped with state funds, is now owned personally by Tinubu. He has put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the State Government for patients referred there by its General Hospitals. 21. Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Governor Tinubu and incumbent Governor Fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit. Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where Tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash. If the Lagos State Land’s Bureau could publish the names and identities of beneficiaries of land allotees from 2000 to date, the scandal that will result is better imagined. Gbenga Ashafa, now a Senator, and Mrs. Awofisayo were the conduits through which these acts were being perpetrated. Both were also personally involved in various dubious land transactions on their own. 22. Prime land and properties have been used to pay off public officials who are personally close to Tinubu and Fashola for “jobs well done” or for being privy to sensitive information, notably: (a) Dele Alake, former Commissioner for Information and Strategy, was sold a whole house on Alexander Road, Ikoyi where he lived as official quarters at a give-away price. http://myondostate.com/w3/shocking-curuption-list-citizen-reveals-tinubus-alleged-assets-challenges-efcc-to-disprove-list/ |

Until citizens/sycophants stop hailing/supporting corrupt leaders corruption will continue to be the bane of this country. the wise man said that ....."we must be the change we want to see...." our youths have sold their soul for a plate of eba. we cannot even be objective anymore because the tribal and ethnic sentiment. i believe that those who applaud corruption are themselves corrupt. as the see these corrupt leaders as their heroes and given the chance they will copy the action of the thief tinubu. You guys know who you are, please change from your evil ways and stop calling Evil good. |

^^ because no one is interested in joining issues with paid ACN?APC goons like you. |
FreeGlobe: Lagos is an all govt corruption trade zone. The speaker of the house of assembly is entangled in a perpetual corruption case with Efcc, Fashola is a tenure away from being investigated by anti corruption agencies, Tinubu the chief of thievery forfeited a large fortune of his stolen wealth to USA in a plea bargain deal and is under surveillance by anti corruption agencies esp the BPE. All Lagos state officials have been gagged into an oath of secrecy by Fashola. Lagos state alone accounts for 45% of Nigerias corruption ranking of Transparency internationalThat makes a lot of sense. thanks for the clarification. Do you know whether the govt.corruption trade zone agenda was part of the new APC manifesto that has be released or is it the subliminal part of the of their agenda? |
jdj: The Liberty ReportTinubu's cheat list is very long! we should lay lagos state Assets side by side with tinubu cheat list, i bet tinubu cheat list will be longer than the state assets. |
Why is lagos state government just folding its hands and watching this criminal steal all its assets? where is the outcry from the state, where is an attempt from them to do something about it. Just waiting for EFCC and FG will not cut it. The state govt. should grow some balls and go after this criminal if they are not colluding with him. Afterall the state tries many poor criminal/armed robbers on a daily bases at its courts. |
The lagos state house of assembly and the state justice department is sleeping. or Are they in tinubu's pocket or afraid to try him because hes connection and wealth. At every turn people talk about corruption being the problem of Nigeria yet a personification of corruption in the person of tinubu is allowed to walk free. who's kidding whom about war against corruption. |
tinubu is killing lagos softly.Stealing the state dry. while his goons are out here cheering him on. i am sorry for the state whose wealth has been annexed. come to think of it whats the job of the Lagos state attorney? or the lagos state house of assembly? aren't they capable of trying corruption? or are they in tinubu's pocket also? |
Lord have mercy. the buffon tinubu is richer than lagos state government. no wonder its been difficult to convict the fool. In nigeria only the poor go to jail or get convicted while the rich go free. |
jdj: The Liberty ReportGreed is a sickness, What is one man going to do with all these property/ wealth? stealing what rightfully belongs to the people for themselves. Tinubu and his cronies belongs in jail. Hope that EFCC will start investigating the fools tinubu and his puppet. |
Wow what a corrupt leader! Is this how APC plans run nigeria? mortgage our future into the hands of a few corrupt godfathers? |
here is an interview with the victims published in vanguard. ...[b]"Speaking with Crime Guard, the deportees expressed regrets that a thing like this was happening in a country they were citizens. They accused KIA officials of carrying out indiscriminate arrests of non-indigenes of Lagos, adding that majority of those detained in various local government cells in Lagos State were Igbos. According to one of the deportees who gave her name as Rosemary Nathaniel, a native of Ubakala in Umuahia, Abia State, “I was neither a beggar nor a hawker for the past five years I lived in Lagos. I was working at a T-shirt weaving centre at Mile 2, Lagos and I lived with my sister. But in January this year, KAI officials and some policemen arrested me and my friend while we were standing and discussing on the road. We were dragged into their waiting vehicle and taken to a prison at Alausa area of Lagos. We saw other people who were also arrested . They took us round the area, made other arrests before taking us all to the prison. The painful aspect of it was that they never bothered to ask any of us where we lived or what were doing for a living. As I speak, my sister whom I live with does not know anything about my whereabouts. It is so sad that this is happening in one’s own country. Another deportee who identified himself as Osondu Mbuto, a trader from Ohaozara in Ebonyi State said he was arrested by KAI officials while on his way to his shop on December 18, 2012. He lamented that since his arrest, he was left incommunicado for eight months in a cell around Ikorodu area of Lagos before he was brought to Onitsha. “I am a Lagos-based petty trader. I packed my goods somewhere and went to eat. As I was going, three persons approached me . Thinking they were miscreants on a mission to dispossess me of my goods, I decided to give them some money. Then, all of a sudden, I saw an armed policeman pointing his gun at me. he ordered me to follow the KAI officials. Out of fear, I joined them as they marched me into a waiting vehicle and drove away”. “My initial suspicion was that they were taking us to Alausa police station, where they used to detain people unlawfully only to release them later after parting with some money. But no! they took me to another place in Ikorodu,close to Ijebu-Ode. After taking my statement, they pushed me inside the cell where I was, for eight months. - See more at[/b]: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/igbo-deportee-from-lagos-dies-five-others-in-critical-health-condition/#sthash.N7WHC7Va.gbhhoQsL.dpuf |
ujchief: Again, my next recommendation is that the Admin should find a way to dis-allow new members or new monikers from creating new threads. It is obvious that some old members create new handles just to fight tribal wars at this section; keeping their old handles clean and spotless; then later end up winning Mr Nairaland, nairaland politics best posterI would love to respectfully ask the moderators What was wrong with the post you just deleted? shouldn't you guys investigate claims before you delete a thread? because someone is unhappy because the policy of his God(governor) is challenged is not enough grounds have a thread removed if thats the case then you guys should publish it as one of the policies. Am not here to offend anyone but to register my concerns about Nigeria as i believe is the intention of this forum, if you had read my post you will know that they are all respectful and devoid of any insults or ethnic or tribal bias and all quotes have their relevant citations. What other handles are you complaining about? it it a crime to discuss issues that you are passionate about in this forum? I would challenge the moderators to go through my post and see if i have resorted to any name calling or tribalism of any kind. if you find any including the thread that has been deleted then fill free to delete all my post and possible ban me from your site. All i did was state the facts. granted they are people who don't like hard fact Thats why we have moderators here. waiting on you moderators to do the right thing. |
[b]moderators why was this thread removed? [/b]https://www.nairaland.com/1383429/lasg-tag-hardworking-igbos-insane |

I Like your dream and share its ideals. though i have my doubt based on the action of Gov. fashola who is deporting nigerian in Nigeria. But who am i to discredit your dreams.Dr Martin Luther Had a dream which was thought to be highly improbable in the USA at the time he dreamt and shared his dreams but today it is slowly being realized there so Amen to your dreams brother. keep on dreaming bro. but Like Dr. king dont just stop at the dreaming stage act out your dreams. you can start by joining your voice in this social media platform to protest against injustice at all times. And at the moment you should protest the Abuse of civil and Human and constitutional right of Nigerians that Gov. Fashola has started. |
etc. If possible, let new members be given the guest feature of not even being able to post a comment till a month, and not being able to create new threads till after 3 months; after which they can now be able to create threads.
