This is a very good project. I was sceptical initially, but Fashola seems to be in full gear with it.

Nice.

Marven: Its spoken-never-accomplished political thought! Its a good revolutionary idea. But as it were, Nigeria is "corrupt", this cannot be achieve due to the fact that there are people benefiting from the existence of such parastatals that may not want them abolished.
Well, lets watch and see.

That is the crux of the matter. As we have seen from the pension services, there is a lot of scandalous crime in the civil service and ministries. Behind all these things sit all sorts of criminal godfathers, sucking the nation dry.

It will be a tough battle indeed. We can only pray that govt will have the strength and backing to cross all t's and dot all i's.

[quote author=Kilode?!]They need to add SSS and that silly Council Of State to that list.

SSS milling around every State House in Nigeria is an aberration for a federal system. Guard the president and stay with him. States don't need SSS operatives hanging around Government houses, we are not at war.

Stupid military creations like the SSS and Council of State should have been scrapped or reorganized a long time ago.[/quote]This is funny, bro.

We run a democracy, not an anarchy.
Any state that does not want federal intelligence agencies around is surely attempting to hide nefarious activities.

alj harem: LOL coming from you ?

Ain't you defending Emmanuel the gov of delta ? Mumu pesin

Why are you always daft? Doesn't it give you a headache?

Timehin: "A COMMON THIEF IN GOVERNMENT HOUSE" this will make a classic nollywood film.

It is an indictment of nigerian government and its systems. A system that allows miscreants, rascals, cultists, drug barons, criminals and 'common thieves' e.t.c hijack political power thereby destroying the future of our present and future generations.

Though nigerians would have been happier with a longer
Jail term but its still better than nothing which would have been the case if tried in naija.
It is a shame on our judicial system for aiding corruption and all sorts of vices by our corrupt politicians and elites.

James ibori will forever blame himself and whosoever advised him to flee the country cos he never imagine it may end this way.
And I wish other thieving b.ast.ards will flee too, be charged and prosecuted abroad since our justice is meant only for the poor.
Poor nigerians will bag 10 years for stealing a chicken while politicians steals billions of naira meant for the people walks freely without our justice system raising an eyebrow.

The bottomline is if you want to steal in naija do it in billions so that you 'll have enough left after plea bargaining and prosecution "if any" cos that's what the government is teaching its citizens.

WHAT A SHAME FOR JAMES IBORI! BUT ITS GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!

You are so on point!
Justice in Nigeria is strictly for sale. It is impossible to imagine how many years (or failing that), executions would be needed to sanitise the place.

[quote author=Chyz*]Wrong. wasn't apart of that false prophesy group unless you are going to lie that i supported Ribadu or Buhari? sorry beaf try harder. Waado![/quote]Bro, you've always been a false prophet and a feather in the wind. Your thoughts would be welcome at winsh meeting.

This thing is going to mushroom into something really big. It will consume a lot of people.

hercules07: Chyz wetin happen now, thought GEJ was your man.

When? He has always been like you.

SMH.

[quote author=Chyz*]Oh really? Would you mind posting my false prophesy? And, never said he was running either. Was just wondering where he planned to get his votes from to win presidency in 2015.[/quote]I don't care, bro. We recall all the false prophets (like yourself) from the last election (most have left NL in shame).
Abeg, take your thoughts to winshes meeting jare. They are of no use.

[quote author=Chyz*]My point is, whether he decides to run or not there is no way he can win presidency by votes,period. That's just reality. Let's not talk abt who's worrying their arse off about another person beaf.[/quote]Thats the same old crap we heard before the last elections and you were one of the false prophets.
I don't even know if GEJ is running, so please take your discussion to winshes meeting. Seen?

[size=14pt]Nigeria: Warri Park - Spearheading Delta's Economic Diversification[/size]
By Crusoe Osagie, 17 April 2012

With Nigeria now being tipped as the third fastest-growing economy in the world, Delta State Government, through its Warri Industrial Business Park, is positioning and priding itself as the place where most of the economic prospects reside in Nigeria, Crusoe Osagie reports

Economic Diversification

Any Nigerian who has not began to imagine Nigeria without crude oil may be leaving too much to chance.

Delta State Government, one of the most prolific states in the country with respect to crude oil occurrence has already started to plan for a future without the crude oil, the commodity with the most economic value in the planet at the moment.

One initiative, which Delta state easily puts forward as a testimony of its commitment to economy diversification, is the Warri Industrial Business Park (WIBP).

The WIBP Project

According to the state, WIBP is an integrated park, comprising a mixed project of industrial, commercial and residential developments.

The park is expected to host a cluster of heavy industries, light industries/terrace factories, warehouses, office complex, commercial retail outlets, hotels, residential apartments and recreational facilities.

It is a planned eco-friendly park intended for the business community (oil and gas, manufacturing, commercial, service companies among others). Green infrastructure such as clean water, healthy soils, recreational parks and adequate shading and shelter within the park, help support the park's long term sustainability goals.

The project would operate as a Free Trade Zone, with a full range of infrastructure and services that would be independent of the public supply. The Free Trade Zone status would offer businesses operating within the park security, tax incentives and labour benefits, which will reduce their business cost considerably.

The project sited on 329 hectares of land, which has been acquired for its development, is located in Edjeba, Warri, Delta State, in the midst of the nation's oil wealth.

Strategic Advantages of WIBP

It is strategically situated within various states and national road and rail networks and is 5km away from the Warri International Airport and 12km from the Warri Seaport.

The location was carefully selected based on business considerations including: proximity to both gas supply and a pipeline network to facilitate the distribution of gas to power industries; presence of a strong industrial and commercial sector with many national companies maintaining local operations targeted at servicing the needs of the vibrant oil and gas sector.

There is also access to a wide range of geographical markets due to its strategic location and the fact that Warri has a strong Oil and Gas presence with many of the oil majors such as Warri Refinery, Shell, Mobil, Total and Nigeria Gas Company well represented with exploration / production and other operating facilities.

Other advantages to WIBP include the availability of skilled labour driven by high literacy levels in Delta State at 85 per cent (national average 71 per cent). Also, 64 per cent of its population in the working class is higher than the national figure of 50 per cent.

There is also the presence of critical infrastructure like the power stations and the gas pipeline that would support the park; the state has a multi modal transportation system to move people and goods, this include national rail network, local and international airport, several seaports and network of roads.

Also, Delta state is home to a rich mix of agricultural and natural resources, which service the raw material needs of many industries. This acts as a pull for many industries with a need to operate close to the source of their critical raw materials. Some of the most common agricultural and natural resources available in Delta State include crude oil, rubber, oil palm, timber, etc.

Features of WIBP

According to the Delta government, WIBP would offer unique investment opportunities in free market environment. Incentives that will be available to local/foreign investors include competitive development cost; plots of land available for long leases; industrial leases; office land leases; commercial building leases.

There will also be pre-built units and common facilities; gate access with on site security (24 hour electronic surveillance); full complement of infrastructure including a state-of-the-art telecommunication system; immediate access to major highways to Warri Port, Osubi Airport and highway linkages to Benin, Ughelli, Asaba and Port Harcourt and design control to maintain the quality of development of the park.

Infrastructure

The government said the park's goal as a service oriented park was to enable hassle free operations right from statutory clearance, construction and throughout the operation of your business in the park.

"As a result of this, our infrastructural facilities and amenities are intended to provide world-class services such as uninterrupted power supply directly from the grid; 100 per cent up-time on power with a 110KV substation; abundant supply of potable water from both ground water and surface water sources; state of the art IT/Communication infrastructure with over 50,000 telephone lines; dedicated telephone exchange.

"Cable and satellite links; high quality internal road system of primary, secondary and local distribution roads; solid waste disposal system; on - site sewage treatment plant and waste disposal system; efficient storm water drainage system; fire fighting facilities; on site gas supply; water treatment plant to treat water to World Health Organisation standards; helipad; private jetties and friendly/flexible policies", it added.

Rate of Accessibility

WIBP's accessibility to commercial and trading centres in Nigeria is one of its distinct advantages.

It is located in Warri, which is an area that has over the years become known for its singular ability to attract significant numbers of Global/Foreign investors and investments; such as Shell, Chevron, and British Petroleum among others.

The ongoing Government-initiated economic and infrastructural development projects would go a long way to position Warri as the preferred location for new investments in Africa.

The state says, in comparison to most industrial parks in the world, WIBP's cost per square foot would enable its tenants maintain and increase their bottom line.

"Warri Industrial Business Park recognises the current difficult economic environment and as a result of this, it tries to adapt its lease contracts to support the requirements of its potential tenants. The Industrial Business Park is designed to be the preferred choice for global business Interaction and a friendly business environment for investors and tenants."

dayokanu: Aint you a m0r0n?

Was the article written by Aregbesola? Then whats the link to Aregbesola [/b]there?

if you want to know Ogbenis achievements go to osun State and ask

Did he say Aregbesola or [b]AregbeRascal? Please learn to address arguments properly.

shymmex: He's going to spend 4yrs in the bin. Can anyone tell me the prison he's gonna spend his time? I'm guess it's gonna be either Brixton, or Wandsworth... Damn! This guy is going to live on chips, halal, slice bread, and baked beans - and I hope he's gonna be in a shared prison.

To those thinking UK prison is a joke, you guys have lost your damn minds. 23hrs lock down is NO joke, it's gonna mess you up mentally. Do you know how many guys commit suicide in there yearly?? The only way he won't feel the time that much is if he can get a job in there... Ibori is definitely gonna get moved to if he spends his time in a London prison; I know the naija mandem in there won't show him any love, and he's gonna get robbed everyday..

Job ke! You want him to steal more money in prison?

Demdem: Actually Accursed, i dont know. It originated from u so u better enlighten us
The only retardeen i know is the kai-kai drinking fisherman who is our current president.

Is it your uncle Lekan Retardeen that you are abusing like that? Na wa o for the retardeen family!

nanos: What did he deal with? You mean oil money did not develop Lagos? Pray, tell, what money was used to develop Lagos between 1970 and now? Oil money, and so are other states in Nigeria. All these denials will not take you guys anywhere.

Don't mind them. As if there is anything in todays Nigeria that is not dependent on oil. ACN built Lagos out of thin air from 1999.

Demdem: ^^^^

Accursed wassup

Brother, who is that one beating the drums for the retardeen family?
Gege gu! Ge gu gu! Ge ge!

youngmonie: My guy pls live and think in reality...........IBB sef is too far u dint even mention d like of OGD, peter odili, atiku and rest u go mention IBB

They are all the same. Just make sure you don't defend a thief like Tinubu.

youngmonie: I just laugh at al those shouting TINUBU ....fine no one is saying hes not a thief or he shoud not be prosecuted. HE aint going down like IBORI did!!!....IBORI offended tooooo many people(especially within PDP) and he is paying the consequence. At least Alams was in hes shoes, today the dude is lounging!!!!

They will all go down, bruv. A thief is a thief is a thief.
Tinubu and IBB are the next thieves of "Ibori" quality.

Desola: please don't indulge him. This thread can do without his silly graphics. Please, i beg you.

Is Tinubu not a thief like Ibori? Lol!
All of them will be caught one by one.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Ouch. . . .If you insist Tinubu is a drug baron,sue him but as at date,the only convicted ex-governor known in the history of Nigeria is James IBORI.Good to know where the oyel money finally ended ! [/quote]All thieves will be caught. You can waste your life away defending criminals, but their day will always come and that day will be sweet.

Demdem: Shut up bunkum. Tinubu travels all over the world at any time without being arrested or molested by any security agents. Ask Obong Victor Attah to do that?

He only goes to London. Fear no go let am near America, where he is wanted for drug offences.
One "Odidigborigbo of Africa," next will will be the drug prince:

[quote author=~Bluetooth]That is your ex-governor right ? Oyel money don put am for trouble. [/quote]Tinubu is in the same category as Ibori. One started by stealing roofing sheets, the other started by selling drugs.

robinhoodd2: i works in a particular ministry in abuja,trying to enter my office i saw a gas cylinder n IC(integrated Circuit)fixed to it on d well trimmed lawn ,i was shocked cos i beleived it was a bomb. i saw people just going about their work without even paying attention to the object,i wanted to raise alarm,but several thought ran in my mind,which are;1.[b]should i get closer to get a better look?[/b]what if it GBAM2.should i inform the police?what if they think am d plotter,should i tell people around there?how am i sure am not telling the bomber(s)?should i just walk away?what it later GBOOM, i will regret it for the rest of my life?peeps if you are in my shoe, what would you have done

Gaddem!
Did you not see what happened to that policeman went to have a closer look? Ol' boy, just run next time.

Demdem: And how do u know these bunkum? When u say the boy hope u no dey refer to retardeen? What roles exactly did he play to acheive this? was is not for the protest this early this year that almost brought this nation to her knees that made the House go for this probe? the senators started theirs last year. U tell me the roles of the retardeen here? abi the guy has started interfering in the activities of NASS?

yes i am governed by the rretard because the majority felt the rretard is a better candidate. thats one of the disadvantages of democracy. i have to live with that

[size=13pt]You always lovingly mention this "retardeen." Is he or she or it one of your beloved ancestors?[/size]

[quote author=Chyz*]The rant was played by the north but now the SW and Igbo are definitely not going to support him. So again, where wil he get his votes from?[/quote]Wait until GEJ decides whether or not to run before you worry your arse off.

One "Odidigborigbo of Africa" down, next stop? [size=14pt]Tinubu.[/size]

[quote author=Chyz*]Beaf, where exactly is jonathan going to get his votes from outside of the non-Igbo speaking areas of the south-south if he does decide to run?[/quote]GEJ has not said he is running, rather you are hearing one of IBB/Ciroma's vultures confirming that he never ever made a promise not to run.
About where GEJ will get votes if he decides to run? Lol! That is an old failed rant that was played before the last elections as well; yet what did we see?
