Bella does the least but na her voice dey loud pass.

Secondly:
What exactly has Bella done in that house to make you rate her that high?

Bella has done absolutely nothing!!

mhmsadyq:
OK, my bad.

Wike should give Rivers to any other party, Atiku still have 5 other states to work with in the south south.

Wike is already becoming a bad market!

You are a political neophyte!

mhmsadyq:
Oga, Akwa Ibom is even more important than Rivers in the south south.

What's the voting strength of Akwa Ibom?


I can see you are not politically smart.

Phyna is up and the house is gingered to start cleaning.

Phyna is truly the engine of the trenches.

mhmsadyq:
You don't have to win all the states.
Since Rivers is Wike's property, he should give it to another party. There are 35 other States Atiku can galvanize for his victory. He needs 2\3 of the states.

All States are equal!

You have to win important states. There are states that every politician will wish they got a chunk of the votes.

In the North is Kano, Kaduna, Katsina and Borno. In the South it's Lagos, Oyo, Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Anambra.
I believe you've not run politics before.

empress101:
Phyna just earned a spot in the finals..
I'm sure her fans are getting used to voting and motivated too...
She is likely winning this show..
If Hermes doesn't come up till 5th week, he no fit win this show..

True talk

mhmsadyq:
Wike continues to prove why he isn't good enough for the presidency.

Rivers is just one state out of 36.

And one of the 36 states does not matter?

Viraltrends123:
Lagos is the only recognized city in Nigeria, their are bodies that name cities, just like Dangote is the only recognized billionaire we have in Nigeria, but others can call themselves billionaires

When did kuje prison become a maximum security prison?

garfield1:
You are right

Finally you are taking corrections. You were among those that said Ikwerre will rule Rivers for ever. No Riverine will rule Rivers State. Una eyes don clear. Change is coming in Rivers.

garfield1:
I love this combo.ijaw/ikwerre.amechi is wise

Wrong. It's Ijaw/Ogoni

Ekealterego:
Animal skin are basically in all traditions and culture around the world, even European.

There are many fabrics made in what is today's Nigeria before Europeans came, however, full covering in this very hot region is not really our full culture.

We had native fabrics too but these ones you see up their are obviously old European wears.

Example of such fabric and which culture uses it

Ekealterego:
Many European dresses were incorporated into the dressing. The English bowler hats, and the long-tail cloths with chained cuffs are all European, rather than "African tradition".

So wearing if clothes instead of animal skin is not European?

Rastaramsey:
The East is gradually becoming bloodsucking
Mhen this Nigeria need a change of government ASAP.....

I hope people will be wise this time...

Gradually? It's a bloodsucking region already.

PDP governors?

aribisala0:
It is a private project packaged by LASG with FG approval. The FG has to approve all ports but it is not putting in a kobo. It is a private sector enterprise

Lekki Deepsea to rescue
Worried by the gradual loss of the maritime hub status and revenue, due to the inadequacies of seaports in the country, the Federal Government and Lekki Port LFTZ Enterprise Limited signed a 45- year concession to develop a deep sea/multipurpose port in Lagos State.

With a draught level of 16.5 metres, Quay wall of 1, 523 metres and a turning circle of 600 meters, Lekki port is projected to be one of the most modern deep seaports in West Africa, which will serve as a vast support to the burgeoning commercial operation across Nigeria and repositioning the country as the maritime hub of the region.

The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, had expressed confidence that the commencement of operation of the port would strengthen the country’s maritime sector to meet the ever-growing demands for goods transported by sea.

Also, the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, during a recent tour of the port, said when completed the port would make Nigeria regain the maritime business that it lost to ports in Togo, Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana.

According to the minister, it would also be a big boost for the country in its quest to take advantage of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).

The minister also estimated that over $201 billion in taxes, royalties and duties would be generated for the government as well as create 169,972 jobs when the port commences operations in the fourth quarter of 2022.

He said the aggregate economic impact of the port, put at $361 billion in 45 years, would be over 200 times the cost of building the port.

He added that the direct and induced business revenue impact of the port is estimated at $158 billion in addition to a qualitative impact on the manufacturing, trade and commercial services sector.

“No port in Nigeria currently has this. The excellent equipment is why this port can do 18,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (teu), which is more than four times the number that can currently be handled by our other ports,” he stated.

He said with regulatory agencies, which include, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Nigerian Police Force (NPF), National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Department of State Security (DSS), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Port Health Services (PHS), Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the federal government’s ease of doing business would be achieved in the port.

On the readiness of Lekki port to help Nigeria attain its regional maritime hub agenda, the Architect of the project, Matthew Oloyede, explained that with the automated infrastructures, it will accommodate the largest and post-Panamax vessels.


“Power plant generation is 16 megawatts. We will have an efficient port where all operations are automated. We are competing with other neighbouring ports in terms of automation. Containers would pass through our scanners and not the physical examination process. This reduces the clearing time as well.

Also, the Managing Director, Lekki Deep Sea Port, Du Ruogang, assured that the port would change the economic landscape of Nigeria and West Africa at large with its largest terminal capacity.

He said the operators will have a terminal operating system that will be more integrated, not only to drive the functionality of the port but e-commerce as well.

Ruogang further said the competitive edge of the port is the ability to accept larger vessels and discharge ships twice as fast, thereby reducing the overall port stay of a vessel as well as the costs for importers and exporters minimally, while savings are handed to the consumers.

Golan007:
This is a Lagos state project sir.

You don't even know what you are saying.

BloomingDale:
My Mumu South South brothers and sisters, you better come and read this reply and take this advice.

Sure say no b u mumu so?

PressMyButton:
When people ask about the achievements of Tinubu in Lagos, here is the result of the vision he conceptualized as far back as his tenure as Governor of Lagos State. Fortunately, successive Governors keyed into his vision and the result is the mordern Lagos that attracts the biggest foreign direct investment in Africa.

Warri, Calabar, PH , Akwa ibom, all are oil rich states with Governors at the helm of affairs. The question is, what have they been doing with the billions of naira of 13% crude oil derivation that greased their pockets every month?
Next time you see any developmental infrastructures in Lagos, you don't have to hate. All you have to do is to tramsfer your frustrations on your Governors, pull them by their ears and drag them to Lagos to learn the template of Asiwaju Jagaban.

Shattaap there. When we live in a monotonous country where everything is built in Lagos. FG built this port with Nigeria's money. This has nothing to do with Lagos government.

If FG decides to move all these facilities to other states the attractiveness of Lagos will reduce. Why didn't they go and build the port in say Akwa Ibom? Yet the state government is doing this by itself since fg has decided to put everything in Lagos.

SaintBishop:
There are broke people everywhere,be it igbo,Yoruba, Hausa,even in the western world. So what exactly is your point?

So you know this?

666Advocate:
Its not pride.
Its because Ijaws are not financially broke.

Says who. There are so many broke Ijaw guys that I know. But they'll barely beg for crumbs. They rather borrow than beg you to gift them money.

Owologbo:
I only know of the governor been rotated among the three senatorial district.
which other rotation are you talking about? enlighten me.

Look at the deputy as well. You'll notice that it's being rotated as well.

Owologbo:
And north has been there as governor for 8yrs.
Central is going to be gov. for 8 years.
So, what are you talking about?

Guess you don't understand the agreement of rotation in Delta State.

Op this is very true. The pride of an Ijaw man never allows him to beg.

Kingnap:
Okowa is from Delta North

His current deputy is from Delta South.
