Correct yourself, Dino is not a Yoruba man. Do you know the number of clans, communities, villages, LGA's etc that make up a constituency? Please correct yourself.

The qualifications he claimed to have from schools in London and USA are not documented, they are often used by him to brag.

shellworker:
Can you provide a concrete proof that Dino Melaye is not a graduate of ABU Zaria and that he has no certificate? If you can convince me over that then you are a true Nigerian.

For correction, Dino is from Kofi State, even though Kogi has a Yoruba speaking part.

so far SR is having points with havard university and london school of economics denying they awarded him a degree which he claimed he had and his name being absent on alumni list while He has not bring out any tangible evidence to back his claim of having degrees.if he could bring out one,I will shift my ground.

Also,who is talking about state....is he not a yoruba man?..You yourself said just now that kogi has yoruba part.He took over from another yoruba man,smart adeyemi

shellworker:
Go through the names of the people criticizing Dino for appreciating Nigerians you will see that they are mostly Afonjas/Yoruba people. Reason being that same Dino bashed their so called madam (Tinubu wife) on the floor of the senate, even threatened to rape her. A woman who thinks the Senate belongs to her and her husband. A woman with no respect for any man.

Anyway, the people Dino meant his appreciation fo are WELL MEANING NIGERIANS and not for THOSE WHO REASON THROUGH THEIR ANUS.

Dino we the through meaning Nigerians are strongly in support of you. It is too much for Sahara reporters and their many propaganda. It is time we put a stop to Sahara reporter being used as a political tool.

Dino if you can, I want that so called Sowore jailed so he will learn his lessons and stick to proper investigative journalism.

#I stand with u Dino.

so you decided to support him in certificate fraud just because he bashed tinubu's wife.lolz..I have always say it,this guyz are confused.

By the way,you've forgotten that melaye is a yoruba man.Last time I checked,you guys are always campaigning that yorubas are not to be trusted.But you trust Dino melaye,FFK , fayose,kashamu and co....so so confused.

who be your enemy...APC?,tinubu?,yoruba muslims?,yoruba Christians?,yorubas?,buhari?,Nigeria?Hausa/fulani?lagos?

:that enhance road to Oyo is now going bad, very bad roads from the boundaries of Ilorin to Ogbomosho, low quality roads at very high project cost I'm sure. The only good roads are from new garage to challenge, those aleshiloye onireke areas, as far as I've seen, and trust me, I travel alot

All I'm jsut saying is don't let us accept less from these guys, they got capacity to do wayyyy more

Alright sir

ilotriouzAY:
In this age and time, being an introvert does not seem to be what anyone easily admits to....readily, everyone is trying to prove they have the requisite social skills of an extrovert.

Between, here are funny but real reasons why you just might be an introvert...do read on!

1. You think before you talk and check before you chat

Sort of the right thing to do huh?...You have a consistently running internal monologue that screens every word before it drops from your mouth. Not a fast speaker there...You screen your chats too severally, before you send them...lol.

2. You go to parties -– but not to meet people.

Nooo...you may not necessarily be hanging out alone...but meeting new people is rarely the goal of attending a party. You simply get in your safe harbour- looking out for your friends and hanging out with them.

3. Great speaker, fearful mingler

You may not be shy...infact, you can give a great speech in front of 500 people but mingling with them one-on-one afterwards is a huge problem.

4. You hate idle chatter

You can be in a room with room mates with them discussing on a topic without necessarily making a contribution...you hate small talk not because you hate people but because they seem meaningless to you.

5. You are self conscious

Since you are not doing most of the talking, you are doing most of the observing and hence, assume that everyone is observing you in the same way...judging the way you speak, your accent etc....whereas, they might not necessarily be doing so,

6. You like extreme sitting positions

When you have to sit at a bench, you don't sit in the middle because you don't like being surrounded by people on all sides. In church, you prefer the extreme rows of seats to the middle ones.

7. You dread audience participation

You prefer a talk or a lecture to a discussion or interaction. If you must be involved in the latter, you must have been informed earlier so that you can "compose yourself".

8. You've been accused severally of not keeping in touch

The funny part is that you cannot fathom why someone who called you three days back would call you and say something like; "You have forgotten me abi..."and you're like, "Are we supposed to be talking everyday"?....you also do not like midnight, except its utterly the last resort. For you, it's too much time to waste on "nonsense talk".
You screen all your calls and you may not pick up your phone even from people you like only to call them back as soon as you’re mentally prepared and have gathered the energy for the conversation.

9. You're a Writer

...a good one at that. Or sometimes, a poet. You prefer to put your ideas in writing than to speak them because the former gives you the opportunity to perfectly choose your words and structure your thoughts.

10. Friends made you and not the other way round

Check out the list of your closest and distant friends and you'd realize that they made more efforts at being your friend than you did at the initial stage before you settled into the friendship.

If you can boast of some of these qualities, then check again...against your initial judgement, you just might be an introvert!

I have never seen a write up that captured we introverts as this.

He's the Governor of Oyo, not only Ibadan, what happens to Ogbomosho, Oyo town, Saki, iseyin n co?

Now to Ibadan, no 5 shopping malls

Palms and Ventura are the only thriving mall, where u can't call Ventura a standard mall,
Cocoa and Heritage Mall are a shadow of themselves, many businesses there have close shop
How do you expect those businesses to survive when the buying power of the populace can't afford the stock at the shop in those malls.
If he had gone ahead to spark an industrial or agricultural revolution where the masses gets employment, those malls would thrive

Finally to the roads, we always celebrate mediocrity, but not me, am I the one that's supposed to build those roads? It's his freaking damn Job, let's looking into project duration, execution and project cost to grade him, he will fail woefully

But then, I agree with you he's the best Governor Oyo state has event had but that isn't what we need, it's 2017 man, the world don go leave us behind

I said especially ibadan which is 1/3 of oyo state.He tried for other cities too.I know of dualization of entry roads to Oyo state major towns.

As for celebrating mediocrity,if a leader could be condemned for something done bad there is nothing bad of he is commended for good things done.That's not celebration.

As for buoyant or no buoyant shopping mall I disagree with you on that.More malls will not be opened if the market is poor.The just opened jericho mall is an example.

Thank God you agree that he is the best governor so far.can I also say you are celebrate mediocrity with this stance ?..No.its just a form of acknowledgement.

Oyo needs to get rid of its present governor and thuggery politics, to give way to Intellectuals
It needs to tap into its agricultural potentials, Largest sw state, currently produces so much poultry products, that it can tap into

..salary aparts..Ajimobi transformed oyo state especially Ibadan.He modernised ibadan with dualised roads some of them were posted on nairaland some days back.5 shopping mall rose up in ibadan within the last 5 years.No wonder he was rewarded with 2nd term which has never happened in Oyo state.Ajimobi is the best governor of oyo states so far interm of infrastructure especially road dualization.Na salary bleeped him up and its due to recession because he used to pay 13th month salary.

What I see are 10 most sophisticated states in terms of exam malpractice in Nigeria. What Yorubas call "Pari ise centres". I'm very much familiar with thosr states and how "well packaged and coordinated" they are when it comes to exam malpractice.

..you are right,I have a friend here from bayelsa that said he do write biology exams for a whole school.The guy is a medical student in U.I.

The OP cant use that as yardstick...exam machinery is the other of the day especially in lagos and eastern states.

Krystalzkris:
good evening everyone...

My friend wants to sue his department for waiving his course without his consent and going ahead to graduate him even after he had applied for course retrieval..

They actually asked him to go ahead and pay his school fees and also prepare to write the course again, which he did.

Now, he saw his name on the convocation list after they had initially said he can rewrite the course..

He wants to sue his department... Any legal advise and help will be needed..

Lalasticlala, pls help move this post to the front page.. It can save a life.

Killsmith, Johnnydon22, Hahn......
Pls mods, help this post to reach fp

..U.I will say you are not worthy in character for sueing the teachers that thought you.so,you are not worthy enough to own U.I certificate.Because to be a graduate of U.I you must be worthy in character and learning.

A bridge under construction

update 7/ Lagos Nigeria, - Eko Atlantic City, one of the world’s most advanced new cities being built adjacent to Victoria Island in Lagos, Nigeria, has announced the on-going construction of its ultra- modern centralized 24/7 water system designed to simultaneously supply phases 1&2 of the city. The water system construction satisfies “stringent international standards for construction of water treatment centers”, supplied by Degrémont, Suez- environment, a reputable company known for its worldwide supply of water treatment equipment. The Eko Atlantic City Water system will extract raw water from deep groundwater aquifers via a borehole providing an estimated initial daily supply of 10,000m3. The daily supply of water will continue to increase as the city grows. To add further protection to the aquifers, the borehole will be lined with stainless steel and cement grouted along its entire length to prevent contamination. The raw water will undergo filtration to remove the impurities and iron from it. The Water System will also disinfect the extracted water before storing it in water reservoirs ready for consumption (WHO guidelines). The water will then be pumped to a 47m high water tower that will supply the entire water network of phases 1 & 2. This will insure a residual pressure in the network of 1.5 bar. In addition to this distribution network, the developers of Eko Atlantic, as advised by infrastructure consultants, will be providing ground water storage for a minimum of 2 days. This storage capacity will be independent from the required firewater reserve. The systemic treatment technology offers the most ecological and cost effective way to produce public water supply since groundwater is often more convenient and less vulnerable to pollution than surface water. Mr Ronald Chagoury Jr, Vice Chairman of South Energyx Nigeria Limited, a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group, notes that the EAC water system is provided according to the high standards of the World Health Organization by ensuring reliable quality of sustainable water system at Eko Atlantic city. The city will not only boast of adequate power supply and a good road network, but also a water purification and distribution network that produces potable water for its residential and office use,” Mr Ronald Chagoury Jr added. The company also recently announced the completion of all the 14 bridges projected for the city in Phase 1 & 2. In November last year, the city also unveiled the first of the Eko Pearl Towers, a residential building in its Marina District. The commissioning of the Tower which was done by the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode came some months after the commissioning of the city’s Eko Boulevard, Nigeria’s first eight-lane city road.

update 6/inside Alpha 1 towers

update5/Eko Atlantic completes 14 bridges By Sunday Michael Ogwu, Lagos | Publish Date: Jan 23 2017 2:00AM Eko Atlantic City, one of the world’s most advanced new cities being built adjacent to the Victoria Island in Lagos, has made significant progress in its infrastructural development (for phases I and II) as it has completed 14 bridge structures in just two years. The bridges, built to international standards, within phases one and two, extend to over five million square metres representing half of the entire planned city development. Work on the bridge project commenced in December 2014 when the first bridge deck was cast and the last bridge project completed on schedule in December 2016. Phases I and II of the city, which is divided into eight districts (Harbour Lights, Business Districts, Eko Drive, Marina, Ocean Front, Down Town, Eko Energy Estate and Avenues), is planned for mixed-use with commercial, residential, entertainment and leisure activities to make the city a 24/7 lively environment. With the new bridges, all the districts are now accessible by road. The bridge works have enabled all major avenues to overpass the canal system running through the spine of the project. All the bridges are between 2-8 lanes. For instance, Bridge 7 comprises a six-lane carriageway and is located on Avenue 1, thus defining the western boundary of the Business District, the commercial heartland of the city. Spanning 52 metres overall in three sections, Bridge 7 is typical of the design utilised throughout all bridges and comprises a reinforced concrete cast in-situ deck with concrete piers and abutments. The last bridge was deliberately constructed to overpass the canal entrance to the South West Marina, defining the marine access to the Atlantic Ocean. Mr. David Frame, Managing Director of South Energyx Nigeria Limited (SENL), a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group said, “We are fully committed to ensuring that the project is completed on schedule. With the successful completion of all the bridges, all the major avenues within Phase 1 and 2 of the city are now fully interconnected, with the comprehensive road network of the city defined and all zones accessible.” It would be recalled that the city in November last year unveiled the first of the Eko Pearl Towers, a residential building in its Marina District. The commissioning of the tower which was done by the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, came some months after the commissioning of the city’s Eko Boulevard, Nigeria’s first eight-lane city road. source

Eko Atlantic’s “Great Wall of Lagos” exceeds 6km length
Eko Atlantic, a brand new city being built adjacent to Victoria Island, Lagos, announces the Great Wall of Lagos has surpassed 6 kilometres in length. Construction of the Great Wall of Lagos, which can be seen from space, began construction in 2009. The wall, which will reach 8.5 kilometers upon completion, is a large sea revetment that protects the emerging new city, Victoria Island, and parts of Lekki from the threat of flooding due to coastal erosion and ocean surge.
“Various Nigerian and international searches show that the erosion rate of the Lagos coast, since as far as back 1910’s, when the record began, has been in the order of 2 to 10 meters per year” says Daniel Kamau, Managing Director, Royal Haskoning Engineering Consultants, the appointed marine engineers for the Eko Atlantic Project. “The land where Eko Atlantic is being built existed historically, but has eroded over a long period. Eko Atlantic will restore some of the land lost to the sea and protect it from erosion,” he concluded.
The revetment uses a proven method of Accropode units as primary armour for the structure. Each accropode is made on site and weighs 5 tons. 100,000 accropodes will be placed in a predefined grid, using a GPS system for pin-point accuracy.
The basic principles of revetment, as a proven engineering solution for river and coastal protection, have been used for centuries, if not millenniums, around the world. The sea wall is designed and tested to handle the worst storms in hundreds/thousand years, putting into consideration global warming and rising sea levels.
