If a building is 21 storey e go fine na unless na those elephant house, uba house etc for island and they are still okay
I am talking of those 5-7 storey for marina, i no know who force they to do lift
Before you enter the lift there are spacing you can see the wiring of the lift
If those buildings are occupied as offices , then be rest assured their elevators are well serviced irrespective of any wiring u see in sight or how rough the building looks ( due to lack of painting overtime )

U see private companies take safety of their environment serious cos they know there’s occupiers liability suit that can have them pay millions for negligence if anything happens to u while in their premises legally .

It’s government agencies and parastatals like the general hospital that will knowingly not maintain their facilities as at when due cos someone has diverted the funds . They also know in the event of a bodily or death of a third party within the premises , it’s the government that will bear the brunt ( that’s if they will even pay any compensation )

Before nepa take light or something happen, i am not old to climb staircase
So will climb 21 storey’s via the stress because of fear of elevator crashing ?

I’ve never considered the aesthetics of a building before jumping into elevator o. I dey always assume any building like that surely have their power source which will most likely be big Mikano generators .

Yeah, I may have gotten the news mixed up but the point is this could have been way way worse.


And even though the fire service response was great, Omo the emergency and paramedic response shaa.


Saw one survivor who was being made to walk on his own two feet, with his trousers and legs battered.

Maybe one oga at the top Don chop money for stretcher.
The site of the crash is less than 3 minutes drive from LASUTH .

I’m thinking probably the emergency unit of LASUTH is overwhelmed with emergencies and their well equipped ambulances are already out for the day . That LASUTH is one hell of an overstressed government hospital serving too many population.

I’ve been there before, I saw things

Failure to win the league. Not just 90points.

Arteta has no excuse anymore.

We are now at par with City in terms of quality. Man United are also there. But the aim now is to win the league. Nothing less.

So that makes him a fullback?
As of today in the arsenal squad he’s considered a Fullback cos that’s the only way he’s gonna have a chance to play in an EPL or UCL match .

You obvioulsy know u won’t be seeing White partnering Gabriel or Saliba in CB anytime soon. That’s why I included him in our fullback options and didn’t consider him CB in the context of our discussion

What does kiwior offer in LCB or LB
In my post I was referring to all FULLBACKS in the team including Zinchencko, White , Timber and even Tomiyasu. Tierney seem to be the most predictable amongst them and offers us less options going forward .

As for Kiwior I believe Arteta is just experimenting with him to see if he can the LB/LCB once in a while when the need arises . If u noticed he’s only been started in that position in our final games of last season and preseason which indicates the coach is testing him in not so competitive matches first to see if he can play it well.

Tierney has been handed so many chances and most people who watched Arsenal last season have clearly seen he can’t offer what other LB’s are offering

You guys are not been fair on Tierney
How? What I just said up there is a fair assessment of Tierney's game under this current Arsenal Set up. He doesn't offer what any other full back offers in the team as far as going forward is concerned.

It wasn't intentional and one cannot even blame either of the players for the injury.

Omo! If that guy walks again, he should choose another career entirely. He was just so unlucky, football is certainly not for him.

If una see kiwi or timber for lb in community shield
Hol am like that😂
Our alaye no rate Tierney as zinny is still not fit but the guy will play 5mins in play4ukraine a day before the shield
I also don't rate Tierney as LB in our current set-up under Arteta. Tierney is too one-dimensional and is only good to come in as a sub in the second half when we need to defend a lead.

He just can't seem to play that role when we are attacking under this current set-up. Timber just played LB once and one could see he has it in him. Tierney has given some uninspiring displays in that position with his one-dimensional play of geting the ball, sprinting and playing in a cross to the box 18.

The news article I posted you didn't react to it.

If you want some arguments, let's go to Arsenal thread and argue who is better between Raya and Ramsdale. But don't come here and accuse me of tribalism.

I expect an apology. angry
Which news article ? The one Sanwoolu met Uzodinma to discuss the demolition ?

What do u think they discuss in that meeting ? Was it not Lagos state government further clarifying the issues surrounding the demolition and clearing the air about the misinformation that easterners in the market are being targeted cos of the fall out of the 2023 general elections ?

The fact that u even know all of those and yet u just come out and claim “Lagos state demolished shops owned by easterners in Alaba “ is enough to show u have an agenda make may or may not be far from Tribalism .

The matter has been clarified over a month ago , but u are still using it as base for a totally different argument . undecided

Here is the post I responded to... he said 'attack on northerners' showing clearly that he had details of what happened and was criticising it. I have no problem with that by the way.


Here is my response. Take note of the bolded. An attempt to explain what happened. It's not just northerners.


We all know that most northerners don't build real houses outside their area of origin. I don't know why and wished to know.

So if you suspect that my harmless interaction is about tribalism, Know that it is not. I know the poster, and have interacted with him and know that as a typical Nigerian he will have sympathy for his people which is completely OK by me. But we must also put things in perspective. If indeed what he wants or prays for is peaceful coexistence then we should all criticise/support it irrespective of where or who is affected not just our own people.
I already know u will not agree and will try to turn the whole thing on its head, but I just needed to correct that impression that Lagos govt destroyed shop of easterners in Alaba as if the shops were destroyed simply because they belonged to easterners and not because they were defective.

Enjoy the rest of ur day.

Na wa for this country. This Hannatu Musawa lady use emotional blackmail no answer any single question just because she broke down in tears claiming she was from a poor family and that her dad sold kolanut to send her to school.

The kind kolanut wey a "poor northerner" go sell to be able to send a female child to University of Buckingham for law degree is definitely not on a petty trading level.

Anyways, She's definitely a Buhari nominee cos her Linkedin profile reads she was on Buhari's legal team in 2003 presidential election tribunal.

What did you read in your bolded?

The same reason Imo destroyed shanties is the same reason Lagos destroyed dilapidated buildings, but the difference in the approach is that Imo paid compensation to the hausa community while Lagos didn't.

Like I asked, I don't know what you read in the bolded as I neither criticised nor supported both actions, and also because I didn't see where Mone criticised the demolition of buildings in Lagos too.

If you justified the case of Lagos, are you against the case of Imo?
If someone says "Imo state govt destroyed settlement of Hausas" and u have a credible information that suggests the demolished settlements which the state govt even paid them to vacate; u have a duty to educate such person on the details of the demolition.

Instead u turned it to politics and gave it a sprinkle of tribalism by claiming " Lagos demolished shops owned by easterners in Alaba" as well. There's no need bringing Lagos into the matter when the genuine reason for the demolition in Alaba is out there in the open.

Haba!

You didn't complain when Lagos destroyed shops of Easterners at Alaba.

Anyway, it is the state government that is destroying shanties occupied by mostly northerners. Those people don't build real houses. Why?
The bold part of ur statement is deliberate misinformation or propaganda at best(half-truth). The Lagos state government marked 17 buildings which were clearly defective and did not pass building integrity tests. It is immaterial whether the shops are owned by Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas,Efiks, Idomas, etc.

The sole aim of the demolition is to avert future collapse of such structures. No be everything be politics.(See below pictures of some of the buildings). At least there are several hundred of shops in the same market owned by easterners that were certified okay and still standing

When Ighalo moved to man utd, prime Fc Oshogbo(Now Osun United ) got about £10k for being the boyhood club that developed him.

That money went missing and became an issue state house of assembly had to probe the circumstances surrounding its disappearance .

I think FIFA has been keeping up to date as to how politicians in Nigeria just taint everything with politics (including football ) and can’t take their itchy fingers out of money they don’t even have business with in the first place

[color=royalblue]I was expecting some masterclass moves from PBAT. At least, learn from the past.

Instead of sharing 50k or whatever k, use that money to create an attractive business atmosphere or start a reform in the SME sector. That way, those who are hardworking would benefit it.

Provide seedlings for free at the 774 LGs and let people interested in farming go and pick up free seedlings to plant.

Let the government provide subsidised transport from major markets to LGs, so petty traders get to use them, and drive down the cost of food a little, while they profit more.

They can think of other ideas to spend that money than sharing money wey no go ever come back.

lol. U are expecting subsidy after subsidy removal.

See ehn, irrespective of whatever name we choose to call it, Nigerians can't actually do without some form of subsidy in one way or the other. The truth is by our peculiar nature of trying to game the system, some selected few will always try to enrich themselves through whatever means is available. Even the sedlings being shared in 774 LGA's by the FG, people will still find a way to make money at the expense of others. Some people can get seedlings in LGA's like Agege, Ikorodu and Alimosho only to go sell it to farmers in obafemi Owode in Ogun State. They still gamed the system.

My position has always been let FG go after oil subsidy thieves, clamp down on them and put in measures to frustrate them. Have the theft reduced drastically and let the people enjoy the subsidy like we have always done. The government just throwing the baby and the bathe away has not done anybody good thus far.

Anybody doing normal work in naija and has since seen significant increase in his disposable income in the last 2 months should come out and lay mantle on me o.
