Umahi ain't resigning anything. This was always the likely outcome and partly planned from the start with a degree of certainty. Tinubu is the one who sells the vision, both Tinubu and Umahi know the feasibility is low. But it's easier to sell a coastal road that develops the whole South than tell people you want to develop Lagos and Ogun coast only. City boy is not just a name, Tinubu is Lagos centric.

You know the game . Some of their supporters who are smart know the game too, but dem no really care .

This is just Tinubu’s version of Buhari building a useless railway to Maradi; a rail line that passes through Kano, Jigawa and Katsina states .

Theflint1:
Omor...would be super crazy if this outcome was designed from the inception of the project.

The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment report they eventually relased released 3 months ago for the Coastal project only covered 2 phases of the project ; Ahmadu bello way VI to Eleko (47.5km ) and Eleko to Ode-Omi; Lagos-Ogun boarder (55.5km).

Isn’t it strange that for a 700km project , they only released ESIA report for less than 15% of the project ?

These people knew what they were doing from onset , they only succeeded in making a foool out of their blind supporters and apologists . We go school and we can put 1 and 2 together .

Theflint1:
The coastal road was supposed to be Tinubu's marquee project.

As much of a hater I am of the man and his party, I'm saddened by the level of incompetence.

It’s not incompetence , it’s a deliberate attempt at diverting funds. Make no mistake about that !

When we said the Tinubu led government should just focus on repairing the East-West road instead of embarking on the white elephant project called Coastal road , they said we are being bitter .

Tell me why the same government is suggesting the coastal road will not go through the coast after Ogun state but would instead detour inward through Edo state to join the existing East-West road?

Shame supposed catch APC supporters and everyone that has ever defended this money laundering project .🤮

The Lagos-Calabar coastal road project would no longer go through the coast after Lagos and Ogun states. Instead, it would detour inland through Edo State to join the East-West Road. Engr Umahi calls this "a wonderful engineering decision by Mr President" pic.twitter.com/HU5vZBr7un

izzou:
Half? Lol

Cement is just one arm of Dangote, and that's the only place you'll see independent contractors, because the demand is high.

There's Salt, Sugar, even limestone sef. All these ones na Dangote.

He bought 5000 trucks for refinery alone. All na under Dangote.

He has the largest fleet of trucks in Nigeria.

I’m obviously not arguing against your point that Dangote carries some products by himself .

I am basically saying Dangote does a mixture of self-carrying and subcontracting logistics arm of his business .

Majority of manufacturers who have seen shege of the Nigerian system have decided to subcontract haulage/logistics to 3rd party logistics companies .

izzou:
Dangote carries his goods by himself. He has a company specially for that; Dangote Transport.

Multipro Enterprises, the makers of Indomie and Hypo are the owners of BHN. Na BHN dey carry their load

Nigerian Bottling Company (CocaCola), are also the owners of AG Leventis. Na those ones dey carry Coke up and down

Many of them have mastered the art of separating the Logistics from the Production.

But you are correct that many outsource it to others

It depends on the Dangote arm of business u are talking about tho. I know quite a number of people who carry cement for Dangote Cement and they are independent logistics companies . There’s a reason why Dangote always issue disclaimer when they say “ Dangote truck kills 5 people at Obajana”.

What usually happens in that instant is that a certain “ Jesu Seun enterprise “ is carrying Dangote products out of Obajana cement plant , then the driver crushes a car and 2 bike men . While the truck may have Dangote logo attached , it’s not in the record of fleet of trucks belonging to Dangote logistics .

I agree with you that there’s a company called Dangote transport company, but they don’t even oversee half of trucks carting the Dangote logo .

raumdeuter:
Do you know if the logistics company also further subcontract to individuals

As in will TSL use their money to buy a fleet of 100 trucks or just crowdsource from individuals too

No they don’t .

Most of the logistics companies get careful facilities from commercial banks , they do equity contribution to get the trucks .

I know quite a number of those logistics companies who got loans to get fleet of trucks . In such arrangements , the bank
Will mandate the promoters of the company to obtain comprehensive insurance for the truck (to cover their liability ) and register the trucks in the name of the logistics company/the bank financing the purchase .

The logistics companies service the loans till they pay down (both principal
Amount + interest ) then the truck finally belongs to the logistics company alone . Most times the facility may last as much as 4 years .

The logistics companies manage the truck drivers and don’t do subcontracting . How they are able to manage them with their excesses , I will never know

Tochex101:
You are correct, everything and anything is possible.
Human behaviour is unpredictable...... I just learnt the plane developed an engine fault enroute Benin on October 5th, was worked on and took to air on another flight to lagos following day and crashed mid air.

Time frame 48 hours.....

This is a brother of one of the deceased confirming my suspicions that the aircraft was probably faulty and the air force will do some major coverups irrespective of whatever investigation is done

raumdeuter:
Trucking na business for spirit. I am sure Dangote sef if you ask him for his experience will tell you plenty

Most manufacturing conglomerates in Nigeria like Dangote , Nigerian breweries , Nestle , etc do not carry their products by themselves anymore ; instead they sign contracts with logistics companies like TSL logistics , BHN logistics , GPC energy and logistics ,etc .

The aforementioned logistics companies sign contracts with the manufacture companies undertaking to carry their products for them safely to the customer’s destination . By so doing , the risk that should be on the principal manufacturer is transferred to the logistics company .

It is the headache of the logistics company to hire drivers , ensure they have proper training , ensure they deliver the good to customers with little or no issues in the course of the carriage process . The principal like Dangote , Nestle , NB , NBC , etc have their own logistics department breath down heavily on the neck of the logistics company.

They ensure the logistics company has insurance for all goods carried on behalf of the principal and ensure that the carrier (logistics company ) settles liability to the principal’s customers first before any further story .

Unfortunately , a small logistics company may not be able to meet some of these conditions

The government has refunded the ransom paid by families of the kidnapped NYSC members “ allegedly “ .

One can see from the body language of the parents that a lot has happened behind the scenes . The man and his wife are reluctant to give straight answers obviously because the powers that be in government have gotten to them. I don’t blame them tho , this is Nigeria .

Obasanjo Wahab, father of one of the freed Corp members, says that the ransom paid by families has been refunded. He declined to elaborate on the payment or refund process, urging that the government be praised for securing the victims' release.

afrodoc2:
I am a big Saka fan, but he looks like he has lost a step. Can't beat his man and now doesn't even try to beat his man. He probably would benefit from the coach taking him off earlier from time to time. Body no be firewood.

I agree with you on this. I wish Arteta will trust Dowman more Sha cos the thought of Madueke coming on for Saka dey give person migraine

God will punish Madueke!

Saka was instrumental to that second goal. That's why the coach don't always take him off

That was a beautiful goal!

Bruno G!

Ẹ ni sun!

2-1 😎

Cala gbowo yẹn, Cala gbowó lọ́wọ́ dealer!

Get in Jor!

1-1 it is

Arteta needs to make changes. Our attacking play is very flat and predictable

johnjunior39:
We scored 9 goals in total againt this same team last season, Gyokeres scored 3 of this, this said person is inform from international duty. Havertz have not done anything significant in the final third, mehn sometimes all we need a striker to do is just position and score. we are just dancing around the final third.

This team have declined as a whole in my opinion

This is not the same Leeds we trashed last season. This current Leeds team has not lost a game this season.

You can clearly see all Leeds players getting behind the ball immediately they lose the ball to Arsenal ; that shows a team that's tactically disciplined.

If we are going to break them, we will need our wingers and AM bringing the magic. Gyokeres with his heavy touch and lack of positional awareness is not the solution you are looking for.

I won't say more than this

Raya is a 4cking super goalkeeper!

johnjunior39:
why I said I would have preferred Gyrokas , this Havertz is just hovering around, we are just rovering around.

Gyokeres would've had lesser touch of the ball than Havertz in this game. He would've been choked out of the game.

We need our creatives bringing their A-game for us to break this Leeds mass defense. Gyokeres is not the answer you are looking for ; he won't even get to touch the ball much if he had started this game

We really need to break this Leeds mass defence and it's our wingers that need to bring their magic.

iamoyindamola:
Rice looking fatigue

Yeah, I noticed that. It looks like he was just rushed to play

See as Konsa dribble that one life 😂

See ref dey overrule linesman offside call to award corner against us. Na wa o 😏

So na mind game Arteta dey play? I thought Konsa, Rice and Havertz were all recovering from knocks and may not feature in this match at all. Tell me why all of them are in the starting lineup. 🤔

sconp:
It's sensationalism from Vanguard.
The quoted 1900/L is for diesel.
You see that once you read the full article, they made it so easy to miss.

I was just about to say this.

My spouse showed me this headline on instablog and pulse news like an hour ago which prompted me to quickly rush to filling station to buy fuel for car and for generator.

I bought the fuel for N1,345 per liter. I then took time to read the whole story and discovered the whole story was clickbait.

iamoyindamola:
That what I thought but the oap said because he didn't see ticket that's why he's badmouthing apc, he responded it's God willing I didn't get the ticket.
Did he contest during those 8 years?
I think it's recent and real with the context

In 2022 he lost the APC governorship ticket in Oyo State to Teslim Folarin. Then he joined Accord party to contest. So it was Seyi Makinde of PDP, Teslim Folarin of APC and Adelabu of Accord party that contested for Oyo State governorship election in 2023.

Seyi Makinde won and I think Adelabu went back to APC which was why he eventually got the ministerial post.

Adelabu can't be saying all that after being minister under APC government for almost 3 years. Even if he has reservations about APC, he won't talk about it like that.

iamoyindamola:
Raumdeuter please translate what penkele is saying here to us way no understand yoruba

Former Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu Penkele tells Nigerians, especially Oyo State, to reject APC at both state and national levels, admitting that APC has wrecked Nigeria. 😂 Even their own people are sounding the alarm! pic.twitter.com/XQW7ElHeOM

I hope this is not ibadan ai
Minister of darkness have gone rogue ke, should we be expecting desmond own

I don't think it's a recent video because of two things :

1. He mentioned APC ruling for 8.years (2015 -2023), which suggests the video was around 2023.

2. He's wearing a yellow fez cap which looks like Accord Party's. I think he joined Accord in 2022 and contested for the 2023 governorship election under Accord party.


If leaves APC now.and starts bad mouthing APC, that will be political suicide for him.

iamoyindamola:
Yes I hated him for that too but when he said he was sent away and that's why he ran to celebrate

He disrespected the club's fans because he had issues with the way he left the club. He's not just emotionally matured.

iamoyindamola:
Adebayor was sent away, can't really fault him
Na that rvp snake thunder go fire

Wenger Said Adebayor left for the money, while Adebayor claimed he was asked to leave by Wenger.

I don't know who is telling the truth between them and I will try as much as possible not to take sides.

I don't resent Adebayor for leaving, but I resent him for that childish run across the field which was actually a disrespect to the fans irrespective of what transpired between him and Wenger.

PDPGuy:
I’m happy that the Corp members were unharmed. But the government, shamelessly lying about its role in their freedom, is disgraceful 🤦🏽‍♂️

That was how they lied about the Oyo state state kidnap incident too. At least that one it was the government that paid ransom with public funds, so they can deny payment of ransom.

In this case, the ransom came from poor family members and the government is claiming they are unaware ransom was paid. They lied shamelessly about rescuing students who were filmed walking out of the forest all by themselves. I feel it's only right for the government to reimburse the respective parents so they can offset the debts they've accrued as a result of borrowing to pay the ransom.

Roland17:
Nasri and the Dutch snake are dead to me. I can tolerate others but you see those 2? Na.. I hope to see Piano Man back at the Emirates someday, he was a workhorse for us.

City ripped our team apart with transfers for Nasri, Sagna, Toure. We suffered the most from their poaching and desperately hope they get punished.

Funnily I don't really have much bile for Nasri because I later learnt he left for financial reasons. City offered him triple of his Arsenal salary and the prospects of winning trophies was more realistic over there than staying at Arsenal. Also, the club fumbled from the contract negotion side of things because he had leverage going into the last year of his contract . The club management has part of the blame in Nasri leaving us at his peak.

But you see the two ex-Arsenal players I despise most are Van Persie(Which I believe most Arsenal fans share joint hate for) and Adebayor. The years the team was patient with Van Persie all through his runs of injuries meant nothing to him, he had just one good season and he jumped ship. He's one of the reasons I don't fancy the club giving current players so much time before either dumping them to the bench or show them way out of the club.

That childish rubbish run Adebyor did, I don't think there's any forgiveness for it from my side.
