That is good thinking from you but architectural wise it's not.

Architecture is about structural evolution.
Evolution is for people who have less needs. Where is the wisdom in leaving that place fallow?

These people made it seem like they spoke the minds of majority of Nigerians.


Some even "attack" anyone who had dissenting opinions about Buhari and APC. They were but social media influencers (known as BMC's) who are paid to shape opinions of voters.


Some of them are:
Butterflyleo
Deomelo
Cilic Marin
Tigritis
AllenSpencer
Ngeneukwuenu (guest BMC), rumoured either to be Lauretta Onochie or CilicMarin's alternate moniker (Ogbonna).


Just as politicians, they appear once every four years. But some still maintain alternate accounts and follow up from time to time.

Feel free to add other monikers.

The comments here show that Nigerians have no ideal of structure. That design bid is low. The proposed building is below international standards and not eco-friendly.
They should take over Federal Secretariat in Lagos or such idle structures. Or better still completely relocate to the Niger Delta . Wetin de m dey do for Lagos? Take prototype plan of NNPC towers and build it there. Me, I am not happy with this decision.

On whether the amount was not too much for design of a building, Kachikwu said that the contract sum was the lowest of the bids.

“The highest bid was about N3bn; the total projected potential cost for the building when it is done is about N35bn.


“So if you look at that as a percentage of the work, it is absolutely insignificant. In international terms, it is very justifiable, it is less than two percent
Let them jjust adopt the architectural plan of one NNPC tower joor and modify it.

Rosssikke is now apc fanatic. Now I know how to take your posts from now on.

What Nigerians are you talking about.,?

Buhari won on the strength of almajiri. That was where he crushed atiku.
Atiku lost majorly in Kano, Kastina, yobe. Those are not exactly the smartest Nigerians out there.
They probably voted for buhari because he is a better Muslim than whatever atiku plans to do with the NNPC.

Buhari lost among educated Nigerians.
He lost in the highbrow areas of Lagos, he lost in Abuja, he lost in the east.
Those are the smartest places in Lagos.
The smartest places.... Unintended beneficiaries . What do you expect..... Smart people are always in the minority. Take it or leave it, there was an election and the smartest people lost. I don't expect influence pedflars in Abuja to commit class suicide ..... especially when it is no more business as usual.

What a thread cheesy

So the Igbos have now turned on their once loved "middle belt" who were too anxious to disown the core north and align with the south. I remember when one Jos dude was daily attacking the North on this forum to the cheers of his ipob audience. Lol wish I could remember his moniker.

Now the converted Agatu campaigners and global agitators are spitting and dancing on the graves of the innocent victims they once pretended to care about and agitate for. They have also typically forgotten they will still need this 'middle belt' support in future elections.

This particular set of Igbos that are rejoicing over the blood of middle beltans which "has made ndigbo not hear am" are just as evil, heartless, callous and cold-blooded as the satanic killer herdsmen that killed them and terrorized the NC and beyond. Argue with your phone.

Is there any tribe in Nigeria Ndigbo b'anyi are at peace with? Serious question. Cos it seems many Igbos are only at their happiest when everybody is an enemy. Though the same moorons then wonder why Igbos have no political clout in Nigeria and are marginalized.
Somebody just sat down, composed this hateful rubbish about Middle Belt people who are potential allies that should be wooed from the North, and clicked "submit" and felt good about their handwork. Serious questions need to be asked about this hateful mentality. We have become the most hateful tribe in this country. By far. Brimming with useless hate and resentment and too stupid to realize that nobody has the monopoly of hate and that the hate will be returned in full measure.

So it has now come to this: rejoicing in the death an destruction to Middle Belt tribes. And you think it won't be your turn tomorrow. You think Nairaland chestbeating will save you then? Chukwu melu unu ebele. Tufia.

All the political.power the North has has has not helped the North. All the positions they have held in government has not moved the North foward

Even if the North holds all the Political positions in Nigeria for the next 100 years, they will never catchup with the more prosperous, more advanced and more enlightened South.

The reason is that power is not everything, like many have been led to believe
I am yet to see the advancement of somebody who has not reinvented the wheel. The elections are over. If you remain on the campaign ground and continue with these jaded cliches, others will use your insolence and wipe your face at the right time. Power is not everything but people will remember insolence when you come to ask for power.

Politics › Our Polity....government By The Minority by citizenY(op): 2:37pm On Mar 11, 2019
After the series of elections, the euphoria and disappointments, it ia time for sober reflection.

Will it be correct to say that the majority did not have a say in the elections?

Think about the following:--

- Our population, total number of voters, accredited voters, votes for or against, valid votes, invalid votes, all reflect that we have a government elected by a minority to govern the majority. Just check the figures, no need to quote them here and I refuse to be joined in divisive issues like spread, religion, party and religion. Let the figures speak.This is the bane of our society and unless we wake up, we shall continue to have a society that goes experiences earth tremors, literally, every four years.

For whatever reason,possibly personal interest our politicians { both professional and those in transit} have not imbibed that ethos that puts the country first in national affairs. We , as citizens have allowed them to set the agenda , to our detriment and in the absence of nothing to offer, they have succeeded in exploiting the cleavages in the polity. In my opinion, the elections were conducted devoid of any agenda. I want to posit that there is a world of difference between and agenda and a manifesto. An agenda should be a permanent set of issues/actions that form the short and long term goals and objectives of our society. A manifesto should be the ways and means to achieve that agenda,together with milestones for good effect. I did not see this in the campaigns.

All I saw was people shouting and wailing like a kangaroo parliament. The inner soul of the Nigerian was absent and that innermost feeling of what we want our country to be, all that you hear i pedestrian stuff.

What is the way forward?

For me.....
1} Sanitize the voters register/ fine tune electoral laws
2} Reduce the number of political parties , , , Moghalu,Ezekwesili et al should be in the Senate , not those jaded governors
3} Each legislative tenure must have an agenda and first on the list must be their allowances, it gives no confidence to me
4} Executive/ legislature must develop and bring back our 5/10 year development plans
5} etc


This discussion piece is just to attract discussion. The blame game should stop now. Please lets have a dispassionate dialogue.

Thank you

Hypocrites. So now Lagosians are supposed to learn from Kano people because Kwankwaso's handpicked candidate/godson (who also happens to be his son inlaw) is winning kano? Una dey condemn Tinubu in Lagos while praising Kwankwaso who handpicked his son-in-law in Kano to replace Ganduje his former protege -- same thing Rochas Okorocha was condemned for. I am sure these hypocrites would have also praised Saraki if he had won. This Igbo obsession with Lagos and Tinubu matter is really something. Tufiakwa.

lawbabs:
I think you lot don't reason before you come online to critic Tinubu. Majority of the opposition politicians in Lagos are lazy. Very lazy I repeat. Election isn't about taking out godfathers, it is about selling your agenda to the people.

Jimi hid for 4yrs. He didn't show up when Lagosians were fed up with the misdeeds of Ambode. He didn't engage the electorate for 4yrs, then he will now come out and be claiming he wants to free lagos from a godfather. He was addressing Lagosians from the comfort of his parlour and on social media. Is that not laziness?

On the other hand, Jide was all over the place, selling his candidacy to the vulcanizer, hairdressers, artists, road sweepers, etc. And you expect that man to fail. He didn't depend on the political structure of APC in Lagos only. He went far and wide to reach all Lagosians in 6 months. That is hard work. He didn't take anything for granted.

Majority of Jimi supporters on twitter are not voters in Lagos. After 12 yrs of defeat, is it not right to to have re-strategized? In 2015, rather than do hard work, he depended on Abuja forces and introduced ethnic politics. That's sheer laziness.

The same Tinubu that you guys criticise is always encouraging his party members to work hard and earn every support they get. Tinubu that you claim is a godfather ignored the loyalty of Ambode and listened to his party members from the grassroot when they said they don't want Ambode anymore. He gave in to their request because he knows that the leadership he enjoys in Lagos is as a result of the workings of the political structure in the grassroots. That is the difference between Tinubu and Saraki. Saraki lost the grassroot but Tinubu empowers his grassroot political structure.

And you now think #Otoge can work in Lagos or Kano will teach Lagos a lesson. Until opposition gets to work hard for four years to put political structure and ideology on ground that is far better and rewarding than what APC has put on ground, they cannot win Lagos. It is not lack of progress in Lagos or political stupidity on the part of Lagosians but the laziness on the part of opposition. You cannot take Lagos by propaganda from the comfort of your home but by real mobilization and engagement at the grassroots beyond election period.

My honest advice to Lagos PDP is that they should immediately employ a political strategist, that will provide an engagement and ideological roadmap for them to implement in the next 4 years if they are serious!

Simple as that!
To my mind, thePDP in Lagos cannot reinvent the wheel. From 1999 to date , there is trajectory of performance that is evident , persistent drive to perform, by Tinubu and his successors. They could do better of course. PDP is hard pressed to acquire this "virus" and just cannot get it right. The right thing to do, is just what APC is doing,

Finally, APC should not rest on their oars as the circumstances surrounding the Ambode saga shows that there is danger ahead.

StOla:
I hope you praised these same Kano "illiterates" when they resoundly rejected the Atiku that the educated Southerners carried on their heads and backbone, and rather re-elected Buhari as President?

Free advice: Wait for official results before you start praising those you would soon insult.

Irony of Politics.
Funny thing here is that they are even praising the Kwankwaso political godfather who enthroned his boy Ganduje to replace him after his own tenure as Governor, and is now trying to sack that same Ganduje because he broke free from the Kwankwasiyya godfatherism. How then is Kwankwasiyya different from Jagabanism that we should then celebrate one who wants to continue controlling Kano, but condemn same in Lagos?

Or is Kwankwaso not a single man like Tinubu and with a political thumb over Kano state as governor in 1999, just like Tinubu as governor in Lagos in same 1999?

Yet a clown is saying the Kano "illiterates" are rejecting godfatherism? Is it by embracing a Kwankwaso/Kwankwasiyya who is the godfather of Ganduje who wants to be free from his control? Is it by voting as Governor, the son in law of Kwankwaso who was forced on the PDP?

https://www.thecable.ng/kwankwaso-want-son-law-govern-kano/amp


Would we have celebrated freedom of Lagos if electorates rejected Ambode as APC candidate, and rather voted a candidate of Tinubu and Jagabanism if they had decamped to the Labour Party upon disagreement with Ambode in APC?


Lastly, is there a sound opposition party in Lagos? Or is it the same PDP that the state party chairman, Moshood Salvador, decamped to APC last year? The same Lagos state PDP that the party chieftains in Lagos use such exalted positions in PDP to negotiate their entry into APC?
Why are you killing a fly with a machine gun?. Op will regret why he made this post. Please let this end here. Jooor.

And what prize pdp took over in 1999? Let me analyze in case u don't know

1. They said when Buhari took over from them a bag of rice was N11,500 but they took over when it was N2,500

2. They said when Buhari took over from them ltr of petrol was N87 but they took over when it was N11.

3. They said when Buhari took over from them $1 was N235 but they took over when it was N20.

4. They said when Buhari took over from them a bag of cement was N2,000 but they took over when it was N400.

ANALYSIS BETWEEN APC and PDP GOVERNMENT OF I6YEARS AND 31/2YEARS

ON MAJOR COMMODITIES

Rice
APC-N15,000-N11,500 =N4,500
PDP-N11,500-N2,500 =N9,000

PETROL
APC N145-N87 =N58
PDP N87-N11 =N76

U.S $
APC N360-N235 =N125
PDP N235-N20 =N215

CEMENT
APC-N2,500-N2,000 =N500
PDP-N2,000-N400 =N1,600

Who then created povertyhuh

There is a difference between Certificate of Occupancy and a Certificate of Ownership. One has a life tenor signed by the sitting governor at time of issue... certificate of occupancy., usually 99 years or so. The other one had no tenor. If you buy from a previous owner, you are occupying for the rest of the tenor., I think. In effect this idea of No mans land get as e be.
