PoliticsRe: It Appears The PDP Is Not Power Hungry Afterall by babasin(m): 9:22am On Apr 11, 2007
You guys are dreaming if you believe election would not be rigged!!

OBJ is dangerous man.

What PDP should have done is accept the supreme court and they all support this guys as their PDP candidate.

Now they want to spoil it for him. It is all or nothing!! Thats evil

Only a fool will trust INEC!

The fact that its called 'Independent' and yet its chairmain report to OBJ is enough to dismiss it.

@beavers007

I guess many of us here would definitely love to visit Tinapa soonest and we would spend some good cash.
If you read back in my posts, I said below:

That said, I would be visiting Nigeria shortly; I would love to see the place; but how do you get there from Lagos?

Conidtions:
1. I dont want to enter any local flight be it vrigin.

2. Driving ok(as i love to see country side) but what about armed robbers?

@GNature,
You spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a business resort and rely on the general public to take its pictures for you
umm, is this a place that want to compete with likes of tourist resorts in Thailand, Malaysia, Mauritius, Greece, Ibiza, etc??

Thats what happens to things done with poor thinking!! I am not surpised.

More to call as OBJ fake reforms start collapsing from May 29.
BusinessRe: British Telecoms Terminates Agreement With Transcorp by babasin(m): 11:33am On Apr 10, 2007
I am not susprised.

Even though TELECOM business is lucrative if things are not done with fairness to all. It will collapse.

wait, 3yrs from May 29; All OBJ fake reforms would be crumbling like pack of cards

@Ndipe
Come, Aso rock has borehole? Is this a joke?
This is no joke.

I was staying there in 2000. When NEPA strike, we switch on generator, even though there is lots of water system built by Berger. We still using Bore-Hole to supplement.

Mind you, the house is much more closer to OBJ residence compare to Atiku's own.

@dblock,

The first picture above(Pictures from Victoria Island Day and Night) is from Eko Hotel. did you take that? is the hotel still very good?

I am visiting soon and plan to stay in VI.

SAS Radisson Hotel
Lagos indeed deserve more competively price hotels. I would imagine a nice one in Takwa Bay kiss

@londoner
I have a feeling Nigeria will be totally unrecognisable in fifteen to twenty years.
, In terms on abandon projects because of their un-sustainability like the London Dome?

or in term of real practical projects like London eye?

TravelRe: Pictures of Lagos Skyline (City-Scape) by babasin(m): 9:19am On Apr 10, 2007
Good Picture. This is how to sell Lagos to the world.
TravelRe: Pictures Of the Comissioning Of Tinapa by babasin(m): 9:18am On Apr 10, 2007
Guys,
Very good to see that I have generated heated debate about this project.

We have basically two type of projects: Prestige and Sustainable.

Prestige project is usually to show-off the image of the Key actors. Sustainable project is usually to provide long lasting regenerative productive service to the society. Sadly, we have more of prestige project than sustainable ones in Naija.

That said, I would be visiting Nigeria shortly; I would love to see the place; but how do you get their from Lagos?

I am not going to enter any local plane. The road is so dangerous, am talking of armed robbers especially Ore-Benin-Onistha section. is there any coastal cruise line from lagos seaport to Calabar?

So how do I even get there to spend some few EURO??
BusinessRe: Influx Of Suspect Finance / Investment Houses by babasin(m): 10:41pm On Apr 09, 2007
I thought OBJ was reforming the Bank/Finance industry??

so how come the nature of these 'entities' still in doubt? so much for reforms.
TravelRe: Pictures Of the Comissioning Of Tinapa by babasin(m): 10:25pm On Apr 09, 2007
@beavers007
Man, Tinapa has already succeeded.
I have nothing against Duke. I have said and will say it again: IT IS A GOOD IDEA.

Tinapa is almost completely a privately funded project.
This gurantee nothing. Private projects also become un-sustainable.

Question remains: How sustainable will it be?

who is going to be the end consumers that will buy the value-added services from all these investors?

Nobody has been able to provide the answer so far.
TravelRe: Pictures Of the Comissioning Of Tinapa by babasin(m): 2:50pm On Apr 09, 2007
@Mariory,
Go to www.tinapa.com to see clients that have signed up.
I am not doubting if client sign-on or not. I already said its a good idea.

My question is who are the customers those clients will service for them to have sustainable growth to continue to pay Tinapa?

The Government Must STOP THIS?
so how do you want the people to get drining water? Even in Aso Rock; they have bore-hole!
TravelRe: Pictures Of the Comissioning Of Tinapa by babasin(m): 12:15pm On Apr 09, 2007
@dblock
so basically, the government should build a shopping mall in the NNPC towers
Well go to Petronas Tower and see for yourself. Both NNPC Tower and Petronas Tower are from Oil Money.

One is really progressive and it would sustain itself far into the future, while the other is already moriboud. We never learn and adopt to suit us.

BTW: Petronas has a better concept right from Project start not just building for building sake!!

OBJ may have achieved little, Infrastructure wise, but tell me one politician that pumped more into the power sector than OBJ.
Exactly!! So much money and no result!

OBJ would be made accountable for this after May 29th. Thats the beauty of democrazy.
PoliticsRe: Nuclear Power Plant For Nigeria by babasin(m): 9:14am On Apr 09, 2007
ok. Let start with basic questions:

where would the nuclear plant be located? and where do you store in the spent fuel rod? in Ota Farm?

Surely not in a Village or 200km close to my village.

who among you will volunteer their village??

I wonder why we are getting worried if election is rigged or not. If ObJ has the chance he will just choose yar'dua to replace him without an election
This is what OBJ already did! The election next week is just a rubber stamping.
TravelRe: Pictures Of the Comissioning Of Tinapa by babasin(m): 8:59am On Apr 09, 2007
@Ndipe.
Projects in Nigeria are usually bedeviled by same problem. Like of proper planning and understanding.

As I said, it is sure a good idea but is there a sound business plan or just a govt trying to show they can embark on project??

Example: Petronas Tower is much successfuly than NNPC Tower in Abuja; why because they have a solid Business Plan.

Below the Petronas Tower is one of the best shopping mall in Malaysia, the rent alone is used to maintaine the build. Nobody comes to KL without visiting the shopping mail underneath the Tower.
TravelRe: Pictures Of the Comissioning Of Tinapa by babasin(m): 7:50am On Apr 09, 2007
Good Idea but I have not seen how they plan to recover their money by making profits.

1. who will be the customers?

2. how will the customers get there?

3. why should the customers go there?

4. what is the sustainability of the project

Ibadan amusement park was lofty project opened in 1990 I went back in 2001. It has become a ghost!
