PETERENI1:Didn't you read the original post!? |
Shorsky1:And why didn't the other party in power do any of these in 16 years?? If every government had worked and the next government built on the previous one, we'd have moved forward by now and this government wouldn't have to be doing as many lines as at least 3 to 4 would have been finished in 16 years. |
And surprisingly this occurs in our own country, yet non of our professors who like to go on strike have ever done any research to find out the cause! We are waiting for oyinbo to come and find out the cause for us!! |
Pretty crappy website! These guys are not going anywhere! Usually, you can tell a lot about the quality of a company by its website!! |
You all should also remember that it's not every country in Europe that has bullet trains. The Greece, Bulgaria, Romania etc of this world don't have. So if we have trains that run at that speed, e haven't done too bad. For your info virgin trains pendolino trains between London and Manchester operate at 250kph, so if we do 150kph we ain't that bad. |
Realdeals:Try London to Manchester and see how much you will pay. Be there complaining of N750! That can barely buy 5 cokes. |
CKcarmat:The total cost to me if I were buying from cotonou. Purchase price, plus custom, plus delivery etc. |
FG should concession the key strategic roads in Nigeria. Lagos Ibadan Shagamu Benin (and rest of East West road) Ibadan Ilorin (on to Abuja) Port Harcourt Enugu Abuja Kaduna Kaduna Kano Owerri Onitsha Onitsha Enugu There may be more since I'm not familiar with the north, but these are roads that should be in tip top shape at all times. If I concession Lagos Ibadan for say 1bln for 10 years annual payment of N100mln, I upgrade infrastructure, am responsible for maintenance and I toll and keep all receipts for myself (of course still paying Company income tax on my profits), that seems like a win win to me - as follows: For the people, yes they pay a toll, but the road remains in top top shape for 10 years. I'd rather pay N2k going to ibadan and back (N1k each way) on a spotless road than not pay and have issues with my car, waste more time and have more risk of dying. For government, there is no need to budget for the road for 10 years and they actually get annual fee and taxes For the economy at large, it add multiplier effects in terms of faster logistics, less loss of life for accidents Support businesses will get a piece of the pie I e proper trailer parks and those selling food etc, and of course people working at the toll Plaza earn an income. |
Zhahovic:Denied!! With evidence! Na wa o!! |
Although I do not agree with the approach being taken by Buhari, the question I have for the people of the South East is that the various issues of marginalization, how come no complaint is being laid at the foot of the governors. The governors always point to the FG as the cause of the problems and yet the people stupidly believe. No region has gained due to its people in power. The only people that benefit are the politicians through corruption, otherwise the north should have been a dubai by now, but they are even the poorest region of all. So where has the money gone? What have governors of the SE been doing since for its people since 1999. |
Flets:You shouldn't be in a rush to insult and criticize! if you'd only spare some time to think, you might realize the answer to your own question. We do not need any further capital investment to generate more power, because we have thousands of megawatts stranded because we have no gas to fire them! So all that is needed is more gas and pronto, the power plants produce more power!! Now I am not saying that we actually DID produce 700+Mw, I'm just giving you reasons why it COULD have been possible. |
Sorry I was trying to Quote the earlier post on page 44/45 that had the picture of an E Class there.I had thought the picture would show on my own post. I believe its an 2015/16 E Class E350. From Cotonou. |
hassrash:Thanks Bro, but i'm curious why a M Class benz is twice the cost of an e class benz of the same year? The prices as brand new are prety much the same. |
How much would land CLEAN, SPOTLESS versions of these cars to my door mot in Lagos: 2015 E CLass E350 2015 C CLass C200 2016 Toyota Avalon 2016 Lexus ES350 2015 ML 350 2015 Toyota Highlander XLE Thanks |
CKcarmat:How much would bring in this E class to Naija?? |
I hope they will all still be on the road by end of the year!! |
The FG is supposed to work for Nigeria's interest and not Atikus interest. If Atikus is monopolizing port operations with Intels, why shouldn't that monopoly be broken if it's in the best interest of the country, regardless of if Atiku is in APC or not. This just shows the mind of the individual. He's only interested to make money and further his empire, not the to better the lot of the people. |
They should also please clear abandoned vehicles on all our roads, especially inner roads. They are an eyesore and cause restrictions to smooth flow of traffic. |
Ezenwa's cost us the game. It wasn't a penalty, but due to his experience and clowning around he gave the referee an opportunity to give the penalty. He looked like he was getting a little too comfortable and confident. In games like this, a keeper that's not very busy needs to constantly be on edge. |
I always felt Ezenwa's monkeying around was going to cost us. He had started to get a little cocky! |
I'm curious though, what was the composition of the Nnpc board in the 5 or 6 years that GEJ was president? |
While I don't condone extra judicial killings, the truth is that Nigerians are indisciplined and corrupt and we take that to a lot of places we go to. I have been to SA and my Nigerian friend living there showed me an area of jo burg dominated by Nigerians that native South Africans are terrified to go to. Even SA police tread with caution there. And what do our boys do there? Drugs, fraud, prostitution etc. Not to say that there aren't honest business men in SA, but just like we do in Nigeria here, we fail to conduct ourselves properly. If a Nigerian drug dealer in SA gets killed, should we be making a fuss!? If Nigerian police had killed Evans, many of us would rejoice that a notorious criminal is off the streets. What of the ALUU 4? So we are not better when it comes to random killings in Nigeria. |
Nice! We really need to encourage local tourism in Nigeria. Wentbto olumo Rock last week with my family and had a good time. But before local tourism and vacations can take off we need good interstate roads, security, good marketing, well built resorts etc. Funny enough we have some decent resorts, but their marketing is so poor. For example I thought of going to obudu but I couldn't even find a functional website for them. Is that a serious resort? |
I hope the contract includes the evacuation of the power.? |
Doesn't seem like a while lot! I don't think these numbers are correct. For a full six months, an oil producing state only gets N46bln!? |
idris4r83:We Nigerians are always looking for crash in everything! Crash in phone tariffs, crash in electricity prices, crash is price of cars, crash in dollar rate. And for what? Only to consume. You better put on your thinking cap to find out what you can Produce! My dad told me when i was young not to pray for prices of stuff to come down cos they never will, but rather to pray to be able to continue to afford it. Meaning my income will have to rise to meet it. $1 in 1980 America will buy much more than one dollar today, so it's not only in Nigeria prices go up. Do you look at the cost of production at all before expecting priced to come down? So everyone should make losses because of you abi. |
ritababe:We need more of everything. Remember though that this is a private investment. Any investor is free to come into the country. We won't chase them because they are bringing FDI, while we continue to work on bringing heavy industry FDI into the country. You should also recognise that retail is easy to enter because of the size of our population. Industry is more complicated because of the technological complications, Port size, ease of logistics etc. For ev it seems strange that despite our big population, Samsung and LG don't have manufacturing plants here, but asides the issues mentioned above, for a factory to break even, it must produce at a certain scale that our economy might not be able to support because our purchasing power for such things isn't big enough - which is why they will continue to import or at best assemble. |
hardywaltz:Exactly my point. What they should do instead is to fire those who are not competent and not working well. Dunno why we have such a problem with sacking in public service when it's so clear many people are doing little or nothing. |
How do you bring in your cars? I thought import of cars through land borders had been banned. |
You can see where all our police officers are!! The tough, strong ones are guarding private individuals, while the hungry, tattered looking ones are on the Expressway. But really, where has this e money guy suddenly surfaced from? The way billionaires show up in Nigeria without warning ehn!! The FIRS should visit this guy Pronto!! |
N43MLN AT 370 exchange rate comes to $116k. Meanwhile a new one in US is circa $60k. Only the AMG is about $73k. I know one still has to ship and pay duty, but this seems excessively priced. |
