We need stuff like this in Lekki to keep the traffic gic flowing

That's your expensive champagne right there

Left to me, because 2nd roundabout is wide I would have done a flyover there with sufficient space underneath for u turn from both directions. I would also close Admiralty entrance from 1st roundabout to force everyone to go forward to 2nd to either enter Lekki at 2nd roundabout or you turn back to Admiralty.

The main issue with that road is there are too many breakages to the flow of traffic, whether it be roundabouts or junctions. If roundabout was 80‰ of the problem, changing it to junction just reduces it to say 60% of the problem, especially when traffic is being controlled by Dumb traffic lights that direct traffic the same way at all times of the day.

This will be a marginal and relatively shortlived improvement at best!!

Having said that, this is not to say Fowler is an angel o! He may have made mistakes and if he had any shady deals while in office, he should be investigated and tried simple!

No wahala na! Let's see what Nami delivers as revenue for 2020!

They are blaming Fowler yet conviniently forget that Buhari almost single handedly plunged this country into recession,with so many people losing jobs and companies struggling, yet they expect to raise more revenue?

That boy will remain scarred with that memory for life. Such a brave father! That's the kind of man I want. Brave, fearless and courageous to shield me from the dangers of the world.

That's one reason I hate Australia. Too many snakes. I don't think killing that snake was the best idea, though. Snakes will soon go extinct if they're being killed this way. Let's save the snakes.

A snake is halfway through eating a boy and you are worried about whether the snake dies!?

How exactly was the father expected to get the boy out without killing the snake!?

Rossikk:
Nigeria thrives on private enterprise. The day we accept that as a fact is the day we'll make sharp progress as a country.

I totally agree! This idea of government opening enterprises is outdated, not to talk of inefficient.

Which 2nd Niger Bridge? I thought that project was being handled by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority?

Also which East-West Road? Eket junction to PH is fine. Most of PH to Warri is fine (except some bad spots in Bayelsa), Warri to Benin as at 2017 when I was on it last is managable, but could do with some repairs, while Benin to just after Ore is spotless, so which East west road are they taking loan for? It had better be the remainder from Ore to Shagamu interchange. Otherwise na scam!!

Flier:
Oyo State road are okay? Which one ? Anyway I don’t need to argue with you, it’s obvious your iq is below average

why must you insult!!

Hotel Majestic should be this list. If was an excellent show.

catoluy:
SMH...if you believe these people. What is wrong with someone you Igbo people? E bu ewu? People that slaughtered 3 million of you, expriopriated your wealth, will allow you to develop? Don't allow me to insult you!

Don't be daft! What magic have all the current and previous SE governors done for their regions!!

Aren't they all the same corrupt and selfish politicians and businessmen? Has that changed overnight?

Like Danjuma himself is not part of the problem!!!

He didn't raise an alarm when an oil block was allocated to him, which he eventually sold for over $1bln!!

Crazy old man!!

The airport will appear sane for a few weeks and then the existing insanity will resume! Why? because the Nigerian government does not have the will and the capacity to follow through on policies.

Seriously doubt the N20mln claim. My office wanted to use Burna Boy and he said lowest was N12mln which was too much for us, so we settled for Teni for N5mln.

Burna is probably the most in demand now behind Whiz and Davido, so I wonder how This dude is at N20m

very likely, this will turn out to be a white elephant project. While airports the world over make profits, this one will likely have insufficient flights to make it profitable and all those who work there will be on government payroll. In a few years time, the Delta state government will complain that its overheads and salary costs are too high. The people will also complain that they are not seeing roads, schools and hospitals being built, but stupid as they are, they wont realize that unprofitable projects such as these only end up increasing recurrent expenditure down the line and reducing capital expenditure.

As far as I'm concerned, if a project wont pay for itself in Nigeria, don't build it!!

Even though i agree with the move to clamp down on NURTW, the truth is that Sanwo-Olu doesn't have the liver to do it.

If this Governor had real liver, there is so much he could have done by now that he hasn't done. He doesn't portray a man with will!

Poor passenger treatment but our very own Air Peace for here, una wan bring am down because US talk....
Una see as una no get sense?

if Air peace CEO has committed a crime, then he should do the time! Simple! No exceptions on tribal or national grounds!

Lawsn says a lot without saying anything. I can't find exactly what his point is in what he said.

If you ask me though, the sector has multiple problems. One of which is that electricity simply isn't priced properly. Another is pretty large scale electricity theft. A third is that some of the biggest users who are government establishments do not pay.

Lawsn should be breaking down the issue to its component parts and proferring solutions to each of them instead of just blowing hot air.

50k for traffic offence in a country with 30k Minimum wage.....

Well, logic is if you own a car you are likely not operating at minimum wage

Lagos to Ibadan by rail is like traveling from Nigeria to Libya by road..

To be honest, the awareness was not publicized properly. If six passengers could board the train, I would rather give them money to go board a bus rather than transporting only six passengers to Ibadan. For me, it was one of the wasted resources we are talking about.

Have you ever heard that a plane didn't fly because there were only 10 passengers? I once flew an Etihad to Dubai and we were not more than 50 for a flight of maybe 200.

Besides the free ride is also a test run.

We have heard much more than this before!! We are not moved. There is no directive that has not been given at least 10 times in Nigeria, yet here we still are in the mess of a country!!

Buhari talk pass that one for Apapa gridlock! Are tankers not back on the roads??

From N23mln to N16mln!! Interesting! Maybe the patient dog still eats the fattest bone after all.

Is the issue more about the open drain or more about the fact that we are just a dirty and undisciplined bunch in Nigeria!!

The refuse in drainage is just a symptom of the underlying issue of our dirty habits and indiscipline.

Good for the politicians! What goes around comes around

clowns like u support mediocre leaders.praising dem for dere job they should have done a long time ago..Some countries don't buy data is free

Please tell us these countries!

FrLukas:
The only way data prices can drop is if government revived Nigerian Telecoms, NITEL and provides citizens with very cheap 5G data services.

This will crash the market and force others to up their game.

See enemy of progress! So after plenty failed government enterprises like:

NNPC
Refineries
NPA
Nitel
National Stadium
Nicon Noga Hotel (before privatisation)
Eleme petrochemical
Nigerian Airways

Your only solution is for government to float another company that will be a drain on the country?

You are truly a sound economist!

ornicus:
The man is just grandstanding. You cannot force any telco to adjust their rates. The telcos are a perfect free market, you do not like one, you move to another. Each have their own peculiar operating challenges which NCC cannot do anything about.

Regulation of the price of petrol is one of the reasons for moribund refineries and a lack of investment in refineries. Because return on investment is not guaranteed

This is just the man saving face

Quite right. The unfortunate thing though is that the 'masses' won't see it that way. All they want is reduced everything. Basic economics most don't understand. I love reduced prices myself, but it's important that it can be justified and sustained economically and commercially.

The so called countries with smaller population have far better electricity, don't have local government staff harassing every base station looking for money, have better ports, better roads etc, so maybe that's why its cheaper, but as usual we like to apply government fiat to everything.

MelesZenawi:
Is everyone is getting tired of Nigeria.

Aren't you yourself tired of Nigeria.

Does she actually work.

For those who didn't belive there is a cabal......!

Ikoyi and Marina is also under attack from manhole thieves. We need undercover cops there too please.
