If you really want to be moved and inspired, go to his website and watch the video from the commissioning.

The speech moved me no be small, he said as the chief of staff of the last administration, I visited Egypt to discuss the deal but nothing happened till he became the Governor and what was a dream became a reality in less than 3 years and nothing less than 100 Lagos are already working at the factory.

He boldly said this is the outcome of my trip to Egypt, this is what I did with your money. That struck a cord right away, it was nothing but straight accountability and a strong message to Lagsoians that he's not flying around needlessly or playing games with their money, the kind of honesty, accountability  and positive outcome you don't get from the average Nigerian politician.

Def' the kind of speech that inspires and make you wanna dedicate your own life to serve and do way way better than even Fashola himself. The guy is indeed a rare bread and def' not your typical Nigerian politician.

He of course finished the speech with Eko o ni baje while the crowd including market women yelled back  "O ba je ti"

The first successful cornea transplant operation on two patients by a local donor was yesterday applauded by members of the medical community, friends and family of the donors and recipients of the cornea at a press conference in Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.

The two patients, names withheld, had a successful cornea transplant in August 2010 following the death of Kola Shodipo, a 47 year old man who was killed on August 18, 2010. Prior to his death, he had pledged his eyes, which were removed some hours after his death, and the corneas used to restore sight to two individuals who had cornea blindness in one eye each.

Making the blind see

Cornea blindness, according to Mosun Faderin, the Medical Director of Eye Bank for Restoring Sight, Nigeria, is reversible because it is just the front part of the eye that is damaged. “When that part is damaged, the person cannot see,” she said. “But with a successful surgery, which involves the replacement of the damaged cornea with a good one gotten from a dead person, sight can be restored.” She added that for the cornea to be useful for a transplant, it must be removed within 12 hours after death with the consent of either the deceased, given before death, or the family members.

Olaseinde Akinsete, Chairman of the Board of Eye Bank, recalled that although corneal transplant is lawful in Nigeria under Decree No.23, titled Cornea Grafting Decree 1973, not many corneal grafting operations have been carried out in the country. “Under the Decree, any person can, either by writing or orally in the presence of two or more witnesses authorize the excision of his or her eyes after death. The law stipulates that the person lawfully in custody of the body after death may unless he has reason to believe that the request was subsequently withdrawn, authorize removal of eyes. Notwithstanding the promulgation of the above mentioned decree, not many corneal grafting operations were carried out in Nigeria.” He further gave an insight to the number of people with cornea blindness in Nigeria. “Nigeria has about 1,170,000 blind people, based on a blindness rate of 0.78percent,” he said. “Cornea blindness is about 7.9percent, that is 92,430. It is the latter that may benefit from corneal grafting.”

Getting in the history books

Late Mr Shodipo is the first Nigerian to donate his eyes for a cornea transplant. Prior to this, all cornea transplants in Nigeria has been done with corneas gotten from other countries, mostly from China. “Since the bank came into existence in 2004, not a single cornea has been harvested locally until very recently,” said Mrs Faderin. “The biggest challenge we’ve had is that the public first of all do not believe they should donate any part of their body after death and also that it is not possible to restore sight to a ‘blind’ person. In order to convince the public that someone who is cornea blind, and this group accounts for about 33percent of those with reversible or curable blindness worldwide, that the Board of the Eye Bank decided to source for corneas from abroad.”

She added that Mr Shodipo made his intention of donating his eyes in 2008 because of his love for people and applauded his humanitarian work. “Today, we are here gathered to celebrate the first locally harvested corneas from a Nigerian donor who had pledged/donated his eyes prior to his passing on,” she said. “Our hero today was a member of the International Association of Lions Club, who at the Lions convention in Ibadan in 2008, after he saw and heard the experiences of two cornea graft recipients who were presented; told me afterwards that he was going to be a donor.”

Femi Olugbile, the Chief Medical Director of LASUTH described the transplant as a landmark achievement and commended the family for ensuring that they obeyed Mr Shodipo’s wish. He also called for the creation of proper legislation that would make it possible for unclaimed dead bodies and bodies of destitute to be used for the extraction of useful body parts that can help sustain lives of those who are still living. “The challenge of harvesting corneas and other body tissues for use on live patients in our country is a major one,” he said. “Unfortunately, these bodies cannot be touched for cornea transplant and that is a major waste. There has to be a way in which that can be tidied up. A practical law creation exercise needs to be embarked upon to get access to these corneas.”




God Bless The Great State of Lagos.

babapupa, how you dey?

I agree, Fashola has tried, spent a lot on roads,infrastructure in general. lagos is a new place. But the state government is overburdened, the local govts do nothing! They are too tiny to collect revenue, have tiny revenue bases, and the little they have is spend on salaries! The most meaningful reform would be on local govts.

Till many Nigerians stop trooping into Lagos and seeing Lagos as the only means of survival, the state shall remain over burdened. There is no ready made accommodation for the thousands trooping in daily talk less the folks already inside.

You are right about the local governments, but regardless, the state can not function beyond it's budget or tax Lagosians to death just to provide basic services.

Lagos is still a state within Nigeria and it's not immune to the many ills pulling the country back. The federal government fixing the power situation alone is enough to take care of the state's financial and other problems because Lagos is the commercial soul of the country and it's industries, factories and businesses in general are functioning at below 40% capacity which means less investments, less commercial revenue and tax base and less payroll tax base.

People like you come on here to spew nonsense that you can not backup with anything.

What people like you need to do is to just get out there and campaign to be the governor of 18 million people and when elected, print your own money, wave your magic fingers and build/fix all the roads overnight.


Till then, you're just making irrational noise.

ngozianu:
On wednesday 19th october,a group of concerned Lagosians demonstrated to Alausa to ask the Govt why is it that they focused more on the Island for construction of infrastructures like good roads etc

The problem is, if I ask you to name 5 ongoing projects on the Island u no go fit name them, on the other hand, I fit name more than 20 ongoing and completed on the mainland.

asha 80:
the catalan and basque region in spain are the most economically prosperous region in spain but they have never and probably can never hope to become prime minister of spain.

Obasanjo became the president of nigeria for 8 yrs how did that affect the average yoruba person?

Northerners have been preident of the country for more than half of the countries independence.How is the average northerner?

GEJ is now president.How is it affecting the average ijaw man?

My point in this thread is the fact that it's irrelevant and it make no difference who or what is the brain box and you just proved my point with every single point you highlighted up there.

It means nothing as long as our communities are still decades behind in critical areas, like quality health care, good education, safe water to drink and good quality of life. Instead of challenging these politicians to do their job, we're here dancing all over the place because of some silly and meaningless political a/s/s kiss and irrelevant platitudes. No wonder these clowns clowns get to punch us in the face and get away with it all the time.

We all know GEJ made the misguided remarks for political reasons, believing and taking seriously that statement is very foolish especially when the facts on the ground says otherwise.

We go to school to eradicate ignorance, to better ourselves, contribute and develop our communities.

excanny:
I have one phrase for all y'all. YOU ARE ALL LOVELY SYCOPHANTS.

If you cant stand criticism of your hero, go hang.

It's OK to criticize, but it's dumb and pointless to criticize blindly and till refuse to explain to us why this is a white elephant project or why your criticism should be discussed or addressed.


Don't blame other people for your inability to express yourself intelligently,

asha 80:
This argurement holds no water.

Instead of the rubbish you just typed, why don't you go ahead and explain to us why your's hold water,

Tell us why after so many decades, a minority like GEJ is inside Aso Rock and  never the loud mouth and brain box,


Na delusions and inability to see yourselves and reality on the ground is what's killing you people,

I'm not even dissing or getting tribal, this is straight talk about Nigeria and our realities, you can make it tribal if you want of course.

As expected, it's the same delusional brainless tribal noise void of reality.


There's a reason why you are inconsequential and marginal in the scheme of things in Nigeria, it's the same worthless, irrelevant and shallow mindset pervasive in your communities, you can not even become a freeking president in your own freeking country and you have the nerve to run mouth about your brain and useless money.

And the saddest part is the stupid claim that you help develop other people's land as if that's some badge of honor, where is the sense and wisdom in that?. especially when your own villages are 50yrs behind time.

lol @ refinery and economic power house, Your economic power crap can even rival ordinary Ogun state.

Your brain is on paper, not in reality or on the ground.


Like I said, I shake my head at some o the daft and illiterate comments I read on this site.

banom:
@ Topic,

All i know is that in terms of money and human capital development, Anambra is the richest and greatest state in the whole Africa,

Anambra is the stae with the most oustanding, accomplished and rich individuals in africa,

But of what use is all that when your towns and villages are crap, your people are not safe, your kids are legit targets by kidnappers, your men and women are getting slaughtered because of greed/ money?


How many of the so called brains resides in Anambra? Even your folks in diaspora no won venture inside any corner of the eastern part of Nigeria cos they don't wanna get killed or kidnapped.

It's 2010 and the so called brain BOX and the human and whatever capital you're talking about don't have a freeking airport or anything to boast of in terms of critical and basic development. Your brain box exits only in Jonathan's mouth, not in reality.

I see many of you are quick to drop names like Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie and the rest of them, but how many of them are walking up and down your streets and making any kind of difference in the lives of your people? Wole shoyinka get nobel prize, but he's on the ground in Nigeria fighting and risking his life for us all everyday. Your brain box and money don't mean nothing at the end of the day.

You focus too much on petty and mouthy nonsense and ignore the critical needs of your people and region. You are here jumping up and down because some vote seeking political opportunist made some a/s/s licking claim that don't mean jack in any terms in Nigeria. You are almost like second class citizens with zero political/any kind of power in Nigeria.


I read the crap some of you post on NL and I sometimes ask myself if some of you are just naive immature juveniles or just plain delusional group of people. , seriousy, I shake my head.

Press Releases

Fashola Commissions Transformer Manufacturing Company
Urges FG to review tariff rate on transformer components[b]

Oct 19, 2010 - Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) on Tuesday commissioned the first transformer manufacturing industry in West Africa, pleading with the Federal Government to consider a downward review of the tariff charged on the imported components used in the manufacture of transformers.[/b]

Governor Fashola who spoke at the transformer factory of El Sewedy Electrical Nigerian Limited, a joint venture between the Lagos State Government and the EL Sewedy Group of Cairo, Egypt, located at Toga-Zanmu in Badagry added that a downward review will encourage more investors like EL sewedy to invest in Nigeria.

The Governor said with the successful production of transformers in Nigeria by El Sewedy, it has been proved beyond reasonable doubts it is very possible to generate electricity locally in Nigeria.

The Lagos State Governor asserted that the time has come for proffering African solution to African problems, noting that the perseverance displayed by El Sewedy before the project came full stream might not have been possible with a foreign organization.

Governor Fashola said the fact that electricity has not failed in Cairo, the home base of the company where it plays a major role in the power sector, is a testimony to the capabilities of the El Sewedy company which is also present in many parts of Middle East and Africa.

"Let us begin to deploy African solution to African problems. There is no rocket science in what we have done. In many parts of the world transformer manufacturing is part of a cottage industry and it should not be different in Lagos or any other parts of the country".

"Regular and steady electricity remains the only missing infrastructure that is mitigating against the growth of the economy of this country and the actualization of the potentials of our people, their freedom from poverty and as long as we remain in Government here we commit to putting the misery of electricity behind us once and for all", the Governor said.

[b]Giving practical examples, Governor Fashola stated: "if you want to imagine how simple life would be with electricity, just think of how much extra you pay to grind pepper, how much extra you use to transport yourself, to get water supply and diesel to power your generator at home, you will realize that you will save more and be walking away from poverty with smiles on your face"

The Governor was certain that the administration will put behind the issue of shortage of electricity noting that the administration had a solid foundation to build on from the pioneering role played by the immediate past administration in the state which led to the breakaway from the former National Electric Power Authority's monopoly by delivering the first Independent Power Project in the country.

He explained that the present administration has followed on that first by delivering another Independent Power Project that has delivered 12megawatts to Adiyan and Akute waterworks as at today.

The Governor informed that the administration has not stopped there but has put another IPP on stream which hopefully by the first quarter of 2011 would have delivered another 15 megawatts that would supply electricity to the whole of the Central Business District on the Lagos Island.

Other benefiting areas according to the Governor would include the Lagos General Hospital, Island Maternity Hospital, State House, Lagos High Court and at least 30 streets which would be taken be off diesel power supply by the first quarter of next year.

He said the successes of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration, in which he also served, has challenged the present Government to intervene in the area of power distribution since the availability of power logically brings up the issue of transmission, taking it to the roads with cables, transformers and meters.

Governor Fashola said the next stage is to commit at least 20million US Dollars to the manufacture of meters and El Sewedy is interested in investing up to 100million Dollars in the generation of power.[/b]

He said the unveiling of the power sector reform by the Federal Government will even make things easier in the sector and provide the opportunity for the State to make the investment.

Commending the board and management of El Sewedy, Governor Fashola declared: "We will continue to work with you shoulder to shoulder to ensure that your partnership ideals and your investment intentions are realized for our mutual benefit and the benefit of our people".

"What has happened here is a simple manifestation of what can happen when a Government has time to plan and to implement the plan. It can only happen in a democracy. The idea did not start today"

In his words: "The first milestone is behind us. What was a dream has become a reality and it happened in less than two years. We are sure it is not rocket science. Our people are already employed here, not less than a 100 people are already working here".

He reiterated that the produced transformers are already strengthening the rural electrification programme of the State Government with the entire request for transformers in the state to be purchased from the factory so that the money, the economy and the jobs would be kept locally.

Governor Fashola said the factory and the whole economy of the area and even neighbours on the West coast of Africa will benefit from the infrastructure development which the State has committed to the area through many of the ongoing road projects like the Badagry Expressway and the Igbo Elerin road.

In her welcome address, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Commerce and Industry, Mrs Sola Oworu said the completion of the project is another manifestation of the successful collaboration with the private sector in project implementation.

He disclosed that the project is a joint venture between El Sewedy Group of Egypt(94.74%) and the Lagos State Government(5.26%) as equity contributions.

Whilst congratulating the people of Badagry on the project, Mrs Oworu said coupled with the on-going expansion of the Lagos- Badagry Expressway, the culturally rich and historically relevant town has been positioned for unprecedented growth in commercial activities.

Also speaking, the Chief Investment Officer of El Sewedy, Mr Mohammed Radwan said the successful completion of the project is an example of mutual cooperation and hardwork .

He informed that the company is planning to invest about 100 million dollars in electricity generation through production of electric meters.

Mr Radwan said El Sewedy enjoys over 70 years experience of producing quality energy products across the globe and does not consider itself as a foreigner anywhere in Africa.

He was certain that the company is in Nigeria to provide job opportunities and transfer technology, explaining that the company saw the opportunity and accepted the challenge to do what it takes to achieve the determined goals.

The Governor cut the tape to commission the factory before undertaking a guided tour of the facility with some of the dignitaries.

Prominent among those who were present at the event were the Deputy Governor, Princess Sarah Adebisi Sosan, members of the State Executive Council, members of the Legislature at both the State and national levels, Chairmen of Local Government Council and Development Areas, traditional rulers like the Oba Akran of Badagry, Aholu Menu Toyi I, the Egyptian Charge D'Affaire, Sherif –Elleithy and other dignitaries.






Eko o ni baje o,

adconline:
babapupa or babasuwe, cant you use your brain for some other things instead of antagonizing anything that doesnt have your God's name -Fashola on it. You still wallow in ignorance and geographically bereft. Enugu is not Anambra , maybe Lagos would be called envy box  when GEJ  visits since it has way  too many fools like you in it.  CSI= Cant Stand Idiots

Ode, Keep quiet, no be out of Anambra den dice Enugu out of or abi una no be the same people?

Abeg learn you history and geography for your own good.

And don't worry about Lagos State, we don't need Olodo like GEJ to stroke our ego and tell us what we already know. We are not insecure, we lead and the rest of the country waka behind us, That kind of talk is for shallow minds.

Wetin you get wey I won envy? Shey na kidnapping ni? abi na 419? or do you see Lagosians rushing to settle in some village back eatst? Are you mad ni?

Den condescend and sweet your bele for votes say you be brain box, but common Airport u no get for 2010. Y'all get mouth sha, I got to give y'all that.


Y'all be killing me I swear

Brain Box indeed,

Aloy+Emeka:
I do hope you remember that when the argument concerns Fashola. Did you see what his gay thugs did to an Okada man in Lagos?
Here: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-534920.0.html

What's this rubbish got to do with anything? You think I have time for your silly and nonsensical kai BS? Abi you and your throlls can not stroke yourselves to death without my presence? Abeg scram and dull off quick quick,

warrior01:
Like the ones being perpetrated by your Godfathers here in Lagos, abi?

This is about emegwali. Nice try.

@Hauwa


Haba, we should be happy for someone claiming what he is not?

NIgerians are used to fraud, abi are we not 419 central?

slap1:
Bro, you suceeded in making no sense. Thanks, all the same. Posting is free!

No need to prove me right. I've already stated that you folks are not logical and you do not use your brain. You think and relate with your broken tribal lens.

Obviously igbo people are too tribal and illogical, trying to make them use their brains or see anything is nothing a waste of time . They have the tribe before anything mentality and this a collective sad case of tribal insecurity,

It's very unfortunate that Nigerians are used to fraud which makes it difficult for them to see and condemn fraudulent activities especially in the very insecure Igbo community where the tribe comes first and truth is always secondary or even irrelevant.

What's the big deal here, is it not  a known fact that dude is a fraudster/419?

chyz:
Whether it was or wasn't he said it and that is that. Anambra is the brain box of nigeria.

lol,

Of course, little and meaningless nonsense excites shallow minds.

https://i51.tinypic.com/e8518p.jpg





This exactly what GEJ was doing, but trust Ibo people to fall anything,




lmao,

Mkpotu:
The fact is simple, different people and different states have what you can use to best qualify them.

For those voices chanting foul because President Goodluck has described ANAMBRA STATE AS THE BRAIN BOX OF NIGERIA, those people are doing so out of jealousy and wickedness and they will continue to be disappointed. They can best be described as enemies of progress, may be they would have expected a bomb blast in Anambra State during Presidents visit or any negative thing, in that case I know they would have been happier.

Any person that knows Nigeria, Anambra State and her indigenes, knows that what President Goodluck is saying is nothing but the truth and I make bold to say it that some of you lame minds who sit at the back of their PC talking rubbish do not have a better knowledge of the various parts of the country than the President. At least for the benefit of doubt, being the president of Nigeria gives him at least 70% of the 36 states of the Federation let alone states like Anambra with its economic/human/ intellectual endowment.

Goodluck has never said Anambra is the most developed (like Lagos, PH, Kano,Kaduna, Enugu)- No !, He has never said Anambra is the most peaceful (Like Cross River, Taraba, Niger)- No !, He never said Anambra is the richest (like Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Delta, etc) No !, He never said Anambra is the tourist centre of Nigeria (like Cross River, Plateau, Taraba, Kano, Enugu, Lagos, Edo) rather he rightly pointed out that Anambra is the Brain Box of Nigeria and the reasons are simple and I make bold to state them:
(1) Anambra state carved out from the Old Anambra which had Enugu as its capital was created in 1991 with Awka as her capital, is a state blessed with great Human Resources, men of great intellectuals both in academic field, entrepreneurial, politically, religious and otherwise.

(2) Anambra state has two major commercial towns to wit: Onitsha and Nnewi. While Nnewi is known for her automobile/parts manufacturing as well as motorcycle manufacturing, Onitsha is a pure commercial city which has several big markets and infact the Main market in Onitsha, a standard market which had in the past years adjudged as the biggest market in West Africa.

(3) I make bold to say it that today, any part of Nigeria (like Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja, etc and neighboring counties like Ghana, Benin, Anambrarians and infact Igbos, having taking those commercial initiatives of what we have at Nnewi to all these places and infact these went further to support Presidents Goodluck assertion during his visit in Lagos, where he observed without hiding his feelings the immense contribution of the Igbos in the commercial nature/city of Lagos today.

(4) It is important to state that another reason why President Goodluck have made his observation which we do not owe anybody apology is that Anambra people have held influential positions in the country and during such period they have distinguished themselves in doing their assignment without any bias or sectional interest, eg Great Zik of Afrika, a pure nationalist. Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Prof. Dora Akunyili, etc

Once more I salute the economic sagacity of these notable industrialists in Anambra like Dr. Innocent Chukwuma of Innoson Group of Companies & Dr. Ifeanyi Eric Okoye of Juhel Nig ltd, Cosmas Maduka of Coscharis ltd etc, their effort so far in the Think Home Philosophy is a step in the right direction.

I believe with the support of the Govt at both Federal and State, as well as better understanding between the WELL READ and the BUSINESS MOGULS in Anambra State coming together to harness ideas and resources, Anambra will be a more enviable state.

Ndibeanyi, ekene mu unu!!!

I admire your tribal igbo kwenu stuff, but your write up remains nothing but tribal rubbish.


And the highlighted part is of course one of the funniest shallow nonsense igbo people love to throw around. I don't enjoy  knocking what honest people do to put bread on the table, but constantly repeating that rubbish is insane and ridiculous.

Claiming parasitic crap like okada, hawking goods on our streets and highways  and setting up  spare part stalls in Alaba and other places is immense contribution is ludicrous when Lagosians have been on the grind way before igbo mass Exodus into Lagos state because the o called  engine box couldn't get it together back home.


The may Industrial estates from Ikeja industrial to Ilupeju industrial, Mofoluku industrial, Apapa industrial, Ogba Industrial, Iganmu Industrial, Agbara Industrial, Ikorodu Industrial, Yaba Industria and many more in Lagos have been  and still the Nation's industrial engines, not to even mention industrialists like Okoya Thomas, Eleganza and others on the grind since day one.



GEJ's ever spitting rubbish mouth is indeed getting out of control, but dude is a politician, they talk rubbish and kiss a/s/s to get votes.

lol @ brain box of Nigeria. What an moronic statement.


Dude was probably talking about areas like kidnapping, fake drugs, 419 and other anti social ills.

EzeUche0:
It does not surprise me that you would utter such nonsense. It is their oil. Get your own resource. Go back to growing groundnut. lol

Blowing up innocent people like the blood thirsty mend did in Lagos was a terrorist act. Now about oil, till you form your own separate nation, the oil belongs to Nigeria. To highlight your stupidity and ignorance, do you see local terrorists blowing up and killing people in Saudi arabia, in Mexico, in Libya or any oil producing nation because the oil is theirs? In any oil producing nation, oil belongs to the country, not the local location of the oil.

Not that I expect ignorant olodo like you peope to understand that basic fact.


You are killing innocent people oil over the place for some dumb nonsense while your leaders are having a good time and living large, even Henry okay is sitting on over a million dollars in SA. The only thing the clowns are fighting for is there pockets, and you dummies are sitting here talking rubbish.


Fools,

Aloy+Emeka:
Didn't you claim before that the hands of Lagos state government is not in the deal?. What are they doing here as co-defendants?

obviously, ignorance and illiteracy is not your only problem, you have  reading and comprehension problem too. The state is a co defendant because the state is trying to move that crap out of Lagos like any other abandoned junk messing up our beautiful marina and they are seeking injunction from the court to prevent the state from moving that junk which the state will do eventualy if the owners don't get their acts together, not because the state is the owner like you ignorantly claimed, the article spelled everything out for you, but you are too slow to figure it out and too shallow to comprehend basic reading.

Aloy+Emeka:
And you are entitled to sheepishly live a fulfilled life in ignorance.

Ode ignorance is running your mouth and making up your own story about what you know nothing about.


The owners of the Yatch are still in court fighting against themselves. They are also fighting the state for trying to move the Yatch out of Lagos state.

Educate yourself before shooting your illiterate mouth all over the place.







N4.5b Sunburn Yatch: Court Restrains Lagos From Moving Vessel – Daily Independent

October 20, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi

A Federal High Court in Lagos has restrained the state government and Multi-Purpose Infrastructural Development Company (MIDC) from moving the vessel containing the Sunburn Yatch Hotel out of Lagos pending the determination of a suit filed by Loneseed Nigeria.

Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako made the order while ruling on an experte application brought by Loneseed, which sued the Attorney General and Justice Commissioner, Supo Sasore Tourism Commissioner, Tokunbo Afikuyomi and MIDC alleging breach of agreement on the N4.5 billion Yacht Hotel deal.

Loneseed averred that Diamond Capital and Financial Markets Limited (a subsidiary of Diamond Bank) acquired 99.9 per cent of its shares to buy Yatch Hotel, and that Ugo Otuonye owns the remaining one per cent.

According to the plaintiff, sometime in 2007, MIDC approached Diamond Bank to fund the acquisition of the floating hotel, and the initial concept was that MIDC would work with the state government to participate in the project by contributing equity in the form of infrastructure and land.

You are entitled to whatever brand of ignorance and absurdity that makes you happy.

I wonder why these ignorant olodo are asking the the Lagos state government this silly question and not the real owners?

I guess EU didn't get the memo or was under the rock when MEND bombed Atlas cove and killed scores of innocent Nigerians. Utter Rubbish. Talk about Oil Politics.

jason12345:
