[quote author=#bizfirst#]Nigerians are always confused and are found of attaching value where none exists! To the best of my knowledge, polytechnic graduates beat their university counterparts in vocational and technical courses any day, any time. The universities should even be proud they are equated to polytechnics...SMH![/quote]vocational and technical skill aint engineering. Engineering is abt designs. Poly graduates dnt kw jack abt Laplace tranforms, La grangian interpolation, finite element, artificial neural networks, Fuzzy logic etc. They kip shoutin practical!! Practical!!

agbameta: Reading and comprehension should have been part of your village education..


Ode, you are there because Yorubaland is not poor and if the place is poor, why are you there? Are you mad and crazy that you prefer to leave the comfort of your own home just go go and suffer in a poverty stricken land? Are you mad and crazy?

Why go there if the place is poor?


I know many of you are too dumb and retarded to see the idiocy and absurdities in all the unintelligent and pathetic nonsense you spew.

You are crazy anyways means regardless of your dumb reasons for going to poor places for survival, you are still crazy.





“But I think the basic issue Aka Ikenga must address is why people feel compelled to immigrate from one part of the country to the other? Is it the case that some lack the resources to develop or perhaps some parts are endowed with enormous resources but not adequately managed?
“How can development be so difficult from the zone that has produced people like Nnamdi Azikiwe, Alex Ekwueme, Ike Nwachukwu, among others? Gov. Fashola

STFU and go get a job

agbameta: Is poor state of Osun the reason why your forefathers left your land for Yoruba land and you and many generations are still leaving for Yoruba land?

Is poor state of Osun the reason why the same Osun state is richer than your erosion ravage and worthless wasteland?

Is the poor state of Osun the reason why Osun is building a new airport from scratch while you beggars end up with a run down repainted old airstrip

Let me tell you clueless dullards something about poverty.


When you leave the comfort of your own home and environment to seek survival elsewhere, it means you are poor while the people you go to are are not because they have more than enough buying power to buy from you and keep you alive.

Only mad and insane people go to poor places for greener pastures, not that we don't think you people are crazy anyways...

u no de tire?

dayokanu: Retardeen how can we have a Merry Xmas when there is no job, no light and corruption rules the country

No job huh? No wonder

superstar1: oh boyyyyyyyy/ See lies/

How much did your igbo people had in bank. they withdrew everything before the war. Stop lying.

Indigenization of companies was Nigeria's protest and a way of getting back at the Europeans esp Uk , France and Netherland for supporting apartheid in South Africa and namibia (Rhodesia). It does not have anything to do with Igbos and it was even done in 1978 or 9 thereabout. It affected companies owned by foreign entities and not Igbos. If that is the lie you have been fed with by your lying uncles, in the name of propaganda, get yourself informed.

If your graduates died in the war, how is that our fault? were you not the ones that brought the war on yourselves.

We started asking you to leave our land, when we saw through your greedy and covetousness eg calling a yorubaland a no man;s land. something you can never dare in \kano, even if your forefathers have been staying there for 100years.

shut up and travel. Dia is a place officially recognised by d name Nomansland inside kano city. Kano ppl r gud bisnes ppl, dey welcome evribody n r strong enof 2 compete. The crisis in kano is religious and pepetrated by miscreants.

D rate of building construction in all parts of SE is simply amazing. I wish public infractures r going at d same rate. Our ppl de try but our govnors de 4k up

Old news. Shame on u!

Y d mumu mallam cari overloaded truck enta wooden bridge? And 4 sm mumu ppl talking rubish aren't dia numerous tolled wooden bridges at d Lagos-ogun boundary? Cnt u c d man avoided d highway lukin 4 short cut? Dey shud put a barrier immediately

Introverts lyk chime r nt gud 4 senate. Engr Vitta Abba 4 govnor 2015. Ike and ayogu cn go hundred tenures in d senate if d ppl want dem

payless: Jonathan is an uncharismatic dofus of a president. He wouldn't have anyone around him if he wasn't the president or if there was no money in politics. He inspires nobody except the chest beating experts from the East and oil bandits from the creek. I can see Jonathan dying like Samuel Doe or incarcerated like Lawrence Gbagbo.

must u drag East into everything? High BP is real

Sloan: I quite agree with you! Nigeria's local contractors will never be able to play in the big leagues of construction projects except they start small and cut their teeth growing one step at a time! I don't think our local engineers contractors are necessarily less competent, not in education or training! Yes, experience at the beginning of their careers (like every other person in the world) but the big and real problem is corruption! The society is corrupt, the people are from the same society! This is the real problem and the people who are supposed to police corruption are the fathers of corruption, this is why the local jobs are mostly failures! If a Nigerian contractor or engineer stands his grounds on not being involved in a contract where he will give 30% away as kickback, he will NEVER get any contract from the government, meanwhile their are people who did not even earn a degree in engineering who would register a company, get the same contract and subcontract to someone else who has to also give some kickback. You see the problem compounding now? Even if a serious company does get a construction contract and he had good intentions but the money has already been shared before it gets to him, he is now in a bind: he cannot finish the project if he starts, he cannot construct a quality / durable infrastructure for that money, the government that awarded the contract has moved on to the next corruption-money-giving contract, so you see this is a vicious cycle? However contractors like Julius Berger have some reputation and image to protect and can charge billions more which they may pay to the people giving them the contracts and march up to whoever and ask for variation (upward review of contract sums) if needed. JB has on its board some of the richest and most powerful people in government or close to the corridors of power. The bottom line is when Nigerians are ready to start having the local construction companies do a good job on time and to standards, kill corruption and reject every corrupt leader.

The only reason that some states are doing better than average like Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, etc is that they know their people will NEVER let them rest for one day whether they construct the road or not, whether it is gold standard or silver standard, even if they make it diamond standard and still do something else utterly silly, they would have to struggle so hard to win another election and people will not stop talking and calling them names! Recently Governor Fashola and Opeifa were still booed by their own people, in their own land and arguably, this folks are doing much better than the rest of the other governments but yet it is not enough! Or, they did something else in the past, etc. The other thing is that some of these leaders almost have to hold the people accountable by the jugular and will keep going to inspect the place every now and then, etc. In other parts of Nigeria things are not done like that, mostly. Generally (not to stereotype anyone), the north seem to regards their leaders whether or not they steal or improve their lives and hardly question authority of even bad leaders, the Ibos pride themselves as individuals, jews whose mantra is now the US republicans small government, low taxes and so far as their individual houses can be accessed by foot path, canoe, a falling Niger Bridge, or any other means, they are good to go so far as it doesn't stop them from making money, the SS are mostly about their oil and oil money. Give them oil money in a few millions and you can loot the rest of the billions till kingdom come, they have no qualms with it!

d igbo styl still has its own advantages. Lyk i hv said b4, d problem wit it is dat it is operating within nigerian laws. I kw many rich men who wanted 2 construct roads to dia village n was stopped by d govt. Do u tnk if sm1 starts constructing a bridge over d niger he will nt be arrested by FG?

Sloan: Hypocrite! So the thread on Eko Atlantic is getting more praises than Yorubas, who own the lands and the ones investing in the land? You pretend as though you don't know since you are a freak masquerade bigot!

d difference is dat we live in lagos, infact we live evriwia. We cnt wish badluck 2 a place we live, we only show genuine concern because our investment is dia.

Heavensake: [b][/b]On d issue of candidate,d only popular

atlwireles: Edo State, all I have to say is best of luck. Come to delta and see yourself. No be propaganda, comparing Edo to delta is simply an insult to deltans.

No insult intended.

u tink they kw any of these places? 2 dem na pesn wey make noise pass 4 media b d best.

Sloan: Why do you Ibos remain jealous and hateful towards everything in Yoruba land? When Sheik Al Maktoum of the UAE was reclaiming the land on which the impressive, tallest building in the world now stands the Burj Khalifa, ibos did not see anything wrong with it. When they built the Burj Arab, you did not see anything wrong with it and would die just to go and import anything and stay in those hotels (only if you could afford it). When Hong Kong built some of its biggest buildings on reclaimed land, it was okay and you opened your mouths in wonderment. Now the Yorubas are building the signature city of tomorrow right on their land, which they reclaimed from the Atlantic, guess who is crying the loudest? Ibos! Your single dime is not in the investment! It is not your land, and before you get here by road you would have to cross through Delta State, our cousins state of Edo State, and I wonder why are you crying louder than the people who have direct states in this project? Geez, who said he actually went there with some of his friends actually saw some people who already built shanties to live there. The question is: do you care about their safety more than they care or you are actually jealous and you think if you cry hard enough, we would stop developing our lands?

Regionalism, followed by a total disintegration is the answer to this madness! The day Ibos would be evicted by all Nigerians back to their Iboland would be the best day ever! Then, your small government, low taxes and individualism in which every family buys their own transformer and build their own roads would be what you would have to contend with all your lives! >>

while u r here crying "my land, my land" ppl who have d moni r already getting spaces 4 demselves in d project. Kip dreaming of wen ppl's sweat wil be handed over to u.

bloggernaija: Abuja
Where incoming airlines /air hostess drop off their passengers and fly to Lagos to spend the night .
Fear of terror .
Eko Atlantic is a regional play against Accra ,Cairo and joburg.
Definitely not against Abuja.
Every city and state has to develop her own character and every attempt to build a Lagos in Abuja has failed.
In fact,
Ogun state is probably going to benefit most from this eko Atlantic because every multinational boss would want his company operation close by.

ya dats wat i'm saying. Its 4 d multinationals, its not 4 u

pandriod: This is southwest, the best of best!
Later, some spare part selling monkeys will tell you how they are developing lagos.

payless: What stops Obi and other SE Governors from coming together and make this bridge happen? What does it take for them to do it?

so we no follow 4 naija again abi? Its nw SE bridge, God punish devil.

superstar1: Another worthy investments that surpasses the whole of investments of 2 by 2inches shop owners.
