OAM4J: I did not hide any post on such argument you are claiming, that will not be an off topic. Posts arguing that the brewery is unnecessary are still visible. I only hid arguments about rice productions in SE and SW and tribal insults. the hidden posts are still visible to Seun and other moderators, any of them can confirm what am saying to you.

Yes I was on that particular thread and I posted on it, but didn't find any post offensive. The post you are complaining about is a commendation of the rice mill, but I guess the poster's sarcasm was lost to you (read it again). Anyways I have removed the picture from the post.

Apology is not to beg me, but to show a remorse for wrong doing. I expect you to know the difference.

OAM4J: If you are referring to this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/939179/lagos-unveils-mega-rice-processing then u will need to show me the 'trash, dirty & ugly pictures on it including the off topics posts similar to the ones on this thread.

2ndly I can not monitor all the posts made at the same time, Mr. Globe brought this thread to my attention. Rather than complaining cos a thread was cleaned simply report other threads that need attention.

I have not unbanned anyone, and yes I will unban anyone that shows enough remorse. The essence of the ban is to deter people from repeating the same offense. It is not about inconsistency. Anybody sober enough to realize his/her mistakes, apologise and promise not to repeat it has always been shown some mercy. Its not new on NL.

As part of ef­forts to further strengthen its industrial base and create thousands of jobs for Nige­rians, Lagos State govern­ment is embarking on the development of two new Agro- Industrial Parks.

The parks which are to enjoy the best of infrastruc­ture and aiding facilities are being sited at Imota in Ikorodu and Ilara-Igbonla in Epe Local Government Area of the state.

The state is also embark­ing on the development of three new enterprise zones to accommodate over 500 micro and small enterprises with particular focus on ar­tisans and tradesmen such as metal fabricators, block moulders and cane weavers.

Olusola Oworu, the state Commissioner for Com­merce and Industry, told BusinessDay that work has commenced already at the Imota Agro-Industrial Park, which sits on a 22 hectares land.

“The land has been cleared and fenced. The provision of infrastructure comprising drainages and road network measuring 2.27km is in progress. Pres­ently over 1.8km of drainage channel is being construct­ed and it is hoped that work would be completed within the next six months in ac­cordance with the work-plan,” Oworu said.

The park, she added, is designed to have its own captive power to guaran­tee uninterrupted power supply. “Towards this end, a power audit of the park has been conducted by the State Electricity Board. At present, rice processing factory has been estab­lished at the park, while several other investors have expressed interest to estab­lish agro-allied industries therein.”

The commissioner also informed that the clearing and fencing of the 100 hect­ Imota Agro-Industrial Park, which sits on a 22 hectares land.

“The land has been cleared and fenced. The provision of infrastructure comprising drainages and road network measuring 2.27km is in progress. Pres­ently over 1.8km of drainage channel is being construct­ed and it is hoped that work would be completed within the next six months in ac­cordance with the work-plan,” Oworu said.

At present, rice processing factory has been estab­lished at the park, while several other investors have expressed interest to estab­lish agro-allied industries therein.”

The commissioner also informed that the clearing and fencing of the 100 hect­ares Agro Industrial Park at Ilara-Igbonla has reached 90 percent completion and the ministry is at present working on the design of infrastructural facilities that would be required at the park.

Oworu also revealed on­going plans by the state government to complete enterprise zones in different parts of the state. “Enter­prise zone is the smallest unit of the cluster concept meant to create communi­ties of complementary busi­nesses situated in the same location with enhanced environment, social and economic support structure and facilities that encourage standards and competitive­ness,” she explained.

She said that govern­ment was promoting the development of enterprise zones to accommodate mi­cro and small enterprises with particular focus on ar­tisans and tradesmen such as metal fabricators, block moulders and cane weav­ers most of who are pres­ently operating in inap­propriate and oftentimes unauthorised locations across the state.

“All the three sites ear­marked for the development of the zones in Ijanikin-Ojo, Gberigbe-Ikorodu, and Ibeju-Agbe Ibeju-Lekki have all been cleared and fenced. In line with the state govern­ment’s policy direction on public private collaboration in project implementation, my ministry has been hold­ing talks with a number of investors both local and foreign on the possibility of attracting investment in the area of infrastructure provision and overall devel­opment of the zones.[/b]

“When completed, the enterprise zones are ex­pected to provide decent and permanent accommo­dation for micro and small enterprises. The enterprise zones are expected to ac­commodate not less than 500 enterprises with em­ployment potentials of over 10,000 people directly and indirectly.”

Acting Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Razak Fadipe, says the service has acquired 30 new fire-fighting vehicles to effectively combat fire outbreaks in the state.
Fadipe said this in Lagos on Friday while speaking with newsmen on the 2012 International Fire-Fighting Day Anniversary.

He expressed the resolve of the service to better its operations, commending the state governor, Babatunde Fashola, for revamping the establishment.

``Gov. Fashola has been very supportive of the Fire Service since he assumed office. As we speak, 30 new fire-fighting vehicles have been purchased to boost our operations.

``The vehicles are still in the U.S, but we are going to take delivery of the first batch before the end of the year.

``They are modern fire-fighting vehicles containing foam, air and water, which would better our rescue operations,’’ Fadipe said.

He said that two additional aerial ladders to combat fire outbreaks in high-rise buildings would accompany the vehicles to Nigeria.

``These aerial ladders are very important in a mega-city like Lagos, where we have many high-rise buildings``, the Fire Service chief said.

The Acting Director said the service had introduced two ``three-digit toll-free emergency numbers’’ for members of the public in case of fire outbreaks.

``A resident can just dial 767 or 112 from his or her phone, even without airtime, and his or her message will get to the Command Centre for prompt attention,’’ he said.

Fadipe noted also that the relationship between the service and members of the public had improved due to the present state of affairs in the service.

He then urged for the sustenance of such a relationship.

@nues

The different buildings probably have their transformers now, most big buildings in Nigeria have their own transformers and I am sure they went for 11KV because that is what exists in those premises,
You asked for what will happen to power generated from 6pm onwards, couple of things can happen, they can throttle back their generation or companies that run 24 hours can take power from the station between those hours no be rocket science now.

Eko Ile is now playing the victim  . . interesting   . . abuse all you like . .but you need to always calm down when replying people's post so that you don't allow your rage to get in the way . . . learn to accept contrary views, see the good in them and make your objections in a sane manner . .your approach of always shouting and abusing people is not a good precedent bruv  . .  and don't feel i picked any special interest in you . . . Am entitled to object to what i feel is not completely correct . . .and you Eko Ile won't be spared when you fall short off the mark . .  . . . You need to curtail your rage factor lest it consumes the other sane side you have . . .

The law is too draconian and has many flaws. For example, somebody who is not a lagosian (say an international tourist) and is unaware of the law gives alms to a beggar. Would such a person be arrested and jailed?

I RETALIATE insults; I don't start insults. If you're not suffering from amnesia you would recall that I was minding my business stating my opinions before you intruded into my space by quoting me and saying that I was talking 'rubbish'. That was what started the vicious cycle of insults. I don't ever START fights here on Nairaland, but I very well RETALIATE. If I'm gonna quote anyone, its either I agree with him/her, or disagree with the substance of their views. . .not insult them by calling their views 'rubbish' just because they differ from mine. You don't just quote someone and tell them they're talking 'rubbish' because you disagree with their views. And then when the person responds in kind, your hyperactive ego would go into overdrive, imagine the arrogance. Who the hell do you nitwits think you are that your views should never be negated? You online bullies are just so despicable.

Get a life. You and everything you represent are a waste of time. Worthless maggot.

Some people make me laugh sometimes.
PDP claimed they want to retain the current arrangement but why is GEJ the President? Is it part of the current arrangement?
Why is SGF zoned to the SE? Is it part of the current arrangement too?
Who are they fooling?

If we can't get this simple demand which is even justifiable, how are we sure we can get the projects we seek for?
As they connived and pushed us aside in this zoning thing, so they will still connive and push us aside when it comes to development.

We need to take a stand and that's what I expect from our lawmakers; decamp!

You should have known that ab initio before quoting me and running your foul mouth all over my opinions in the first place. And that applies to the other arrogantly ignorant buffoons here that love playing online bullies. I always wonder why some of you are in the habit of insulting others just because they hold contrary opinions. I'm sure you can state your opinion (just like every other person) without looking for who to harrass with your bad breath.

This is hilarious; the funniest statement I've read this year. It reminds me of Henry Ford. In the early days of Ford Motors, customers complained about their lack of choices in terms of choosing a colour they prefer for the ford cars. . .since the only available colour for the cars back then was black. Guess Henry Ford's response when these complaints were brought to his notice: " that's not true, you can have any colour you want. . .as long as it's black".

So the Lagos state government hasn't banned me from giving alms. . .as long as I give the alms to "needy homes the state supports". Lol. So the state now has the authority to tell me who to give my money to, or how to spend my own money? In a supposedly democratic country? Lol.

I'd rather have a premier African/International agric institute in my zone than a poorly funded local one that cannot even afford to maintain its website 

Maybe I should chip in $15 to pay their internet fees for the month

Kobojunkie:
Now you come back to the question which is, this GOODWILL ACCOUNT, is there anyway of showing this was where the funds came from? If Yes, please display for all to see. Also, how do other lagoscians who are in equally serious situations access this account? I agree he is part of the community, in this case African community, so also are the many non-celebs who are still helpless and without access to this goodwill fund . . . may with time running out on them. Ok. So, how do we know how much is in this goodwill expenses account or even how other people who are not celebs can access it? I hope you are not implying that those who join Associations get higher priority of some sort? lol
