Reno is just pained. I wonder why he is not an official member of the campaign team of Atiku-Obi?

If Atiku was a presidential aspirant under a different party it would be understandable for him to campaign.

But since he's the presidential aspirant of the PDP, I think the PDP should tell Nigerians what they did with the nation's resources for 16 years?.......

Brandishing a campaign document is an ailment. It just proves that PDP is a party that lacks ideologies.

Eammy:
Good question. Nitel generate less revenue when compared to NNPC. However the privatised coys are now generating hundreds of whatever Nitel used to generate.

How much of the revenue generated by NNPC is accounted for in our national budget? NNPC deduct it's operating costs from revenue before reporting to the federation account. Who reviews the operating costs to confirm that it is not over deducted? Nobody. Who reviews their subsidy payments? Nobody. Have you wondered why their audited accounts have not been signed since 2011? I think what we should do is to ensure that the company is sold to the right people.

Till we set our priorities right we are far attaining greater heights.
Who will ensure at the bold?
It's simply obvious Atiku is in the business of selling things and not creating anything.

Even Nnamdi Kanu's wife will tell same.

This is no news nahhhh.

funshint:
Of what use has NNPC been to Nigeria even as a national asset?? Abeg OLX dis thing....it's already a drain on our national budget.

Why sell something that's of no use ?
Why don't he just gift it.........
Let him think of other ways of generating revenue because the ones they sold below market value we can't tell where and what they used the money for

Eammy:
Was Nigeria sold when Nitel was sold?

How much revenue Nitel generates compare to NNPC?

Oga..having a cooperate account doesn't mean wealth..I have my company but thesame government have been frustrating my efforts..where do you even see the loan?

..,you say government is frustrating your efforts to get loan?
...are you sure you have a geninue company and reason for financial institutions to give you a loan?
..because if you have all the necessary it should be easy to get one.

For the NSE listed ones their financial statements are available for all to see . No doubt some failed but NNPC is a loss making enterprise and I’m sure you know that state enterprises are hardly profitable in the Nigerian realm. I’m still not sure why NNPC was established but if it was setup as a national oil company as was done in Netherlands , Italy , France , Saudi Arabia ... then it has failed . The government of these countries have for long reduced their interests in their national oil companies . In addition I’ve held informal discussions with two ex CEO ‘s of NNPC independently years apart and they both told me NNPC is not working and filled with multiple issues along with every government ( since the military era ) interfering with its operations .

I really want Nigeria to work but it appears most Nigerians share uncommon visions and desires

NNPC is a loss caused by who?
The same people willing to sell it off, I guess?
Do you know how many persons were given licenses to build new refineries in Nigerian during the 16 years of PDP ?
Do you know what made it impossible for private persons who got licenses then to build even when the economy was good as they claimed then?
Do you know why they all preferred to claim to lift petroleum products just to receive subsidy payments?
Do you really know the reason why the ajaokuta steel is still a mirage and not functioning?

If Atiku prefers to unbundled the NNPC if elected, do you not think he should be smart enough to unbundled Aso rock?
A man who claims to back restructuring but has never backed local government areas autonomy in states.

Don't be deceived by talks. It's free.

LordAdam16:
That was a task delegated to him by OBJ. Same way GEJ delegated the task of privatizing PHCN to Sambo. Both were figureheads.

-Lord

If you claim he was a figure head and it was a task given to him and we know what happened afterwards.
What do you think will occur when he becomes the head ?

I'm beginning to understand now why OBJ was not in good terms with him for so long and why he wrote in his book that Atiku's background has lots of secrecy.

LordAdam16:
Don't talk about the Chinese model. China does not have the bureaucratic, financial, and efficiency constraints we have.

Electricity generation is no longer a government-only affair. PDP governments saw the waste and inefficiency of using government money for projects and decided to liberalize the sector. His promise is not empty as it relies on private-sector led investment.

-Lord

Can you explain how the liberalization of the various sector has added to the growth of the Nigerian economy?

loswhite:
The refinery are they functioning? If no, what sense does it make to keep it and spend billions of dollars maintaining something that is still not functioning

Atiku as VP for 8 years did not bring in any business into Nigeria.
Atiku did not get foreign partners to come build refineries or invest in the oil and gas sector.

All he did and interested in is to buy off Nigerian companies at way unreasonable prices through cronies and proxies and share the spoils.
If his first agenda towards selling NNPC if elected then it shows he lacks any sound economic policy to grow Nigeria.
I think he belongs to the sets of Nigerians who would rather prefer to bleed Nigeria dry rather than to give her.

abnot:
Some companies are in a bad shape and may not do well after an acquisition. A good number of the privatised companies are doing well. How does the present state of NNPC profit you as an individual ? The present southern sun hotel use to be a government owned hotel but was privatised and is in a much better state. Oando and forte oil were also privatised government owned enterprises. NNPC of today is not working and not profitable . A working NNPC should be able to compete with aramco, Agip , Total , BP and many more . It’s up to you if you like things the way they are but I can assure you that Nigeria is lagging behind in so many areas and the earlier we do away with strategies that are not working the better . Nigeria is too complex as a country with enormous challenges far beyond the mental capabilities of Buhari and I’d wish that the best candidate wins irrespective of the candidate’s party

Interesting indeed.
Please how did you measure the positive growth of the companies already privatized to get that conclusion?
Just because a man has pot belly, drives a rolls royce, lives in a 4 storey building means all is okay about him.

bilulu:
how about Saudi Arabia who is about towing dat line? is NNPC not only there for fraud? just to serve the interest of d masses? compare Wen it was just NITEL n now Wen u ve MTN n d rest.... let's ask more logical questions instead of floating. I believe he's d only candidate with a clear cut road map not d type dat will tell u I'll tarr all ur roads, do dis n do dat without clear cut agenda

Which clear road map are you referring to or its a road covered by bushes......
How many countries do you know that will sell their government owned companies to private citizens all in the name of privatization?
Those who sold the electricity discos, how far have the fake companies improved the light situation; I'm sure you'll blame PMB for that.
The only thing Atiku knows is probably how to privatize government companies.
I think the best thing he should do is to privatize Aso rock given that he wins the election.

SmartHomes:
I am the architect for boyestic,majority of design is solely what d client wants

Nice one.
The aim of being a professional is to better the ideas of the client.
Keep it up.

I find it out how the Op will be begging for a refund.
If you have a geninue case, kindly go to the recipient bank and make your case so they block that account and send your refund. Also file a complaint with the F-Sars. I think they have a special team that investigates such matters.

hisexcellency34:
After flag-off, nothing again. Name any project APC government began and completed and get 50 litres of petrol

The helipad at duara.
If the APC led government under PMB embarks on any new project then the abandoned projects left by PDP's 16 years will be like cars left in a junk yard.

NwaAmaikpe:




I sent that audio file to a few friends who work as audio forensic analysts at Dolby Laboratories and they gave the same verdict.
That audio recording is fake and partly doctored.

They didn't say the same about Magus,
Neither did they say the same about Ganduje's video.
APC keeps looking for imaginary scandals to divert attention from their complicity to corruption.

APC is drowning.
APC is drowning
Buhari is shivering,
Oshiomhole will soon become a convicted felon.
Dasuki will soon be free again,
The killer Fulani herdsmen will go back to Libya,
Jubrin will return to Sudan.
Nigeria will work again.

PDP has won the Presidential battle and if you are a Southerner and you aren't behind Atiku, you are a betrayer.

You appear to be a story teller.
What exactly do you mean by the bold?
.....and why also include partly doctored to the sentence?
.....so can you tell us via your Dolby Laboratories which part of the statement belongs to the voice of Saraki ?

adanny01:
I see a landing and the 2nd flight of stairs protuding into the groundfloor living room. Exactly where the TV is. It makes no sense to have it protude like that unless u want it like that.

The landing will probably be at about 2m from the floor. TV position is under the 2nd flight.

This reminds me of a site i visited in Abuja. The interior of the semi detached duplex was redesigned on site to be a hotel. They only forgot the second flight of stairs. I just followed a friend who did the electrical design. He dashed me 10k for saving him after calling his attention to it.

I think its an over site not checked except its some form of design.
If the 2nd flight is to remain the way it is then he ought to expand the width of the stairs from the ground floor.

yak:
any reason for the last paragraph?
please explain to novices like me

The most important thing about any building is in the foundation when done properly.
Every structure designed comes with its loads.
Loads are transferred from the apex of a building to its foundation.
The reason behind the last paragraph is to ensure that the sub structure can be able to carry the load of the super structure. Though all loads are believed to be uniformly distributed since members are connected.

Certain persons tend to use solid blocks for sub structure and hollow for super structure. The last paragraph also is partly one of such reasons.

That does not mean one cannot maintain the same type/quality of blocks from sub structure to super structure.

The source also described the positions of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SFG) and that of the Speaker of House of Representatives that the PDP promised the Southwest as uncertain, stressing that it’s only if the PDP wins the Presidency that that can be fulfilled.

SGF can go to the west ,no argument about that. But SP I strongly doubt, because I keep asking what's Saraki's take on it and his deputy? Will they now be relegated to the bench as members of the house?


Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone on Friday, Ologbondiyan said, “Nigerians are not talking about who occupies certain positions. They are interested in who can give them power and make ease of doing business available.

Having said that, it’s important to state that the PDP is interested in the value of life. The PDP is interested in the equitable distribution of wealth in the nation. The PDP is interested in making life better for the average Nigerian.

If this is true, the PDP will not be the opposition now. This statement is deceitful.
The PDP is only interested in coming to power to go back the old ways of doing business.

I don dey fear oooooo
I hope this is not fake news because we all understand what happened with the privatization he did as VP ooooo.
This is final killing coming from PDP oooo

"If I am the only one in PDP I will fight alone, my Father made Kwara and took Kwara to the top 10 in Nigeria and I also took Kwara to between number 1 to 3 in Nigerian politics and they now want us to bow to Lagos" @bukolasaraki


In the era of leaked audio and visual tapes and if its anything to go by....
I just can't believe the bolded been said by someone of that status in this present time.

Is he referring to the Kwara in Nigeria or some where else?
So he's only concerned about being a god-father of sharing monies politics and not necessarily bringing development to Kwara State.........

Is Kwara not more than 50 years?

Can you please drop your Mobile so I give you a call ?

Need to understand what you mean by "It all depends on the type of sharp sand in your area. " ?
I believe i can go to where they sell Sharp sand and tell them I want to buy Sharp Sand or if there's a Particular type you can tell me, I will ask them for it.

Referring to this phrase "mixing 2 different types of sand" , Can you kindly list the 2 different types of sand you mix ?


Also reading one of Spyder's numerous posts, I saw a place He made use of only 6-inch Block to build an entire building. Though he made a very important reason why he used that instead of 9-inches for Foundation and 6-inches for the rest.

This was One major reason why I Ensured we never Bought Land in an Estate.

In an Estate, You are only a House/Building Owner. Not a LandLord.

Heck, you can't even have an Independent Recognized Land papers sef

There's nothing wrong in buying land in an estate. It all depends on the clauses attached to it.
I don't understand the bolded.

boyestic:
not atall bro,i met him here,can you shed more ligth on what can be done??

Like you said earlier, he's on NL following the comments. You'll see that a couple of persons have dropped suggestions based on its design. He should be able to deduce it and I'm sure not everyone's comnent is completely out of place.

It's very simple.
Let him make the necessary adjustments on the ground floor.
Then he can do same on the upper floor and try to create a lobby/passage to access any room and be off direct eye sight.

boyestic:
Thank you Bixton,no he is not doing it again because we wount be able to get 4 rooms,the land is in megamound estate and they have a lot of crazy rules,couple with the irregular shape of the land at the rear ,its difficult moving the design around so he said,i"m a novice when it comes to Architectural design

It appears you have a close relationship with the architect.
He can better his designs.
I can't imagine running a 4 bedroom apartment and no lobby/passage to shed off even if its just one room from direct eye sight.

seepanel:
Kai
with the Strength of your Grammar, na only Professionals go understand wetin you me and if i be professional, I guess i won't be asking such questions.


It might help if you could lists anything, maybe i would understand better.

Thanks

It all depends on the type of sharp sand in your area.
For my clients who incorporated moulding of blocks as part of my work in the construction work I do;
For a particular type of sand
9"........25/32 (foundation/upper level)
6".........30/40 (same)

When I'm mixing 2 different types of sand.
9".........30/35
6".........35/45.

boyestic:
Architects in the house,pls take a look and drop a comment

The layout is okay.
Did you make changes to the design plan you posted previously for criticising?

What is the recommended number of Blocks per bag ?

Since we would be Molding, we want it very strong. I have heard and read lots of mixed figures such as 35-Blocks, 40-Blocks and some even say 50-Blocks per Bag.

We might be low on Funds BUT that doesn't mean we are willing to Compromise on Quality.


Also what's the recommended way of paying Bricklayers and Block Molders - is it per block (with regards to bricklayer) or per bag (with regards to block Molder) ?

Location is Atan Ota, in Ogun state

Abeg experienced Heads should stone me a Response quick quick.

thanks

It all boils down to the properties of the aggregate materials used to achieve that number per bag and still maintain the desirable strength of the block.

Every number you hear is correct and achievable given that the moulder understands the job to be done.
Be it 6" or 9", ensure that the blocks moulded for foundation(sub structure) is less in quantity to that used for super structure per bag.

Omololu001:
$2.3 billion, wey some Nigerian politicians and civil servants go share among each other

By the time the people of Morocco start traveling in that train, they will pray for their King, politicians and country.
I do feel like crying whenever I pass through itokin road, when am traveling from ikorodu to ijebu Igbo, the road is just so dam terrible and I will start cursing the Federal government, Lagos state government and the Ogun state government

Countries that are functioning well don't know how lucky they are.

the 6 geopolitical regions should have trains operating in them, but with the sort of greedy useless politicians we have, it's not gonna be possible.

Just imagine a very rich state like Lagos, that has been constructing a light rail project for more than 10 years, I wish there is an alternative to APC in Lagos state.

In Nigeria those who will share the money amongst selves will pray for one another and their respective friends, relatives and well wishes will do same.

WaffenSS:
If you consider what atiku said as complex, then I wonder who's really lifeless between you and PMB

I can see lots of people gambling with the Nigerian economy claiming they know something.

ebukamen:
You understand principles of economics but you don't economic analysis. you just failed your analysis. Go and study Nigerian economy and you will see that Atiku is right.

Good evening

You have succeeded in saying nothing.
If you truly understand what Atiku intends doing from the post can you explain in lay man terms?

This has always being the trend and voice from the Igbos.
We should be expecting comments from the agitators/ex-militants from the Niger Delta region on their own piece.
