Unbelievable!
Check out the number of vehicles in the parking lots already!

Are you for real!? Those are those who came for the commissioning? Surely you know anything that involves a governor commissioning something always involves a lot of hangers on.

Sonnobax15:

The commenter above me said Odili is a criminal . Aboki,how can you call someone a criminal when he/she hasn't been convicted by a court of law?

All these aboki wey we share this nairaland with self,una can make somebody laugh at times

What you guys don't know is that there is no difference between one side or the other. They are all corrupt. Both PDP and APC. So when you guys argue for one over the other, then I just wonder.

APOSTLECHUMA:
The secret message here is that there are too many things that state governments can accomplish without fed govts assistance.

True talk. But only for serious governors with half a brain. It amazes me that a state like Rivers with only major city is still the same as 20years ago asides some dualised roads by Amaechi and flyovers by Wike.

Where are top notch schools and hospitals?

NoFucksToGive:
Oh well. At least it will help them import containers through the air easier .

So now I can ship stuff from abroad sites like Amazon down there faster instead of going to Lagos ...

Containers through the air!?

LASG should stop lieing, this is just nedia blitz. They, LASG made the portal non-functional, so that travellers have no options than to come to MMIA and pay cash. Nowhere in the world do people pay cash at the aurport for PCR test, except Nigeria. No where else on Earth.
FAAN should investigate the scam. When my wife travelled I processed her payment, but could not print receipt. Fortunately, I made screenshot. When she got to MMIA, they refused to accept phone screenshot. Unkmown to them she also had the printed screenshot. They initially started their shenanigan. So, she called me and I told the officer that if she collects any money I will go public. The next I learnt was that they sent her to VI instead of Ikeja we selected for the test
Nigeria is eternally corrupt. The only country you land and have to pay for trolley. They charge people coming into Bigeria money to use trolley, whereas your ticket already includes airport fee. Thieves!

Its not true that Nigeria is the only country where you pay for trolley. While free in many airports, its not free in all. I pay for trolly in most airports in US. And I recall paying in Manchester airport as well.

Reflect7:
Abeg go siddon. There is NOTHING WRONG with the toilets in the Uyo stadium.

You went there during a match and you expected what? Clean toilets?

There is no stadium on Earth whose toilets are nice and clean during a game, because tens of thousands of people, many drunk and loutish, are all over the place.

That is absolutely not true. By the same logic, toilets at airports and major train stations abroad should be filthy too because many people pass through there very often and that is not the case. I have watched a match at West ham stadium and Etihad before and used the toilet at half time and it was fine.

Reflect7:
Stop stereotyping.

It all depends on the arrangements made for the maintenance. Most projects today are done via PPP (Public-Private Partnership), and maintenance clauses are written into the contracts, to protect shareholders' investment, and it works. Numerous examples abound from airports to railway facilities.

Maintenance problems arose in the PAST when projects were 100% govt funded, (eg National Theatre, National Stadium Surulere, MMA etc) and there was no real incentive to maintain projects by using govt funds.

Today, as a result of private sector involvement in projects, the story is different.

Its not stereotyping but the honest truth. How many times has the stadium fallen into disrepair and fixed. This will be like the fourth time. I can guarantee you by 2025, we will be back to the same situation again if left in government hands.

Good approach, but it will likely come to nothing. The person the CG gives the instruction to reform the process will himself corrupt the process.

[quote author= post=106654997]Seven wonders of engineering, massive open space without pillars, you can see how tiny those trucks look inside the hall[/quote]This is relatively poor quality construction. It's not being constructed to the quality that a building this big ought to be. The ceiling looks like something that will sag very soon. And I'm sure it will use standing split AC instead on proper central ac with conduit in the ceiling. Which will eventually go bad and be leaking water all over the Place.

vanbonattel:
Igboland is the only part of the failed Nigeria still experiencing some growth.

Na so!

I notice the interior of the terminal building is using standing split air conditioners. In this day and age, why not install conduits in the ceiling to channel the AC!! Air conditioning is very basic and I wonder why its such a big deal to do it right. Normal houses in US have central AC with conduit, how much more a building of this size.

daewoorazer:
The valid question remains:

Is this a good investment with the dwindling value of naira?

Even if the bond appreciates by 1000% in ten years, what if 1 dollar is 1000 naira by 2031?

Especially with the crop of re.tar.ded leaders Nigerians keep voting into power.

A 10year Bond even at 12% in Naira is very risky. In that 10 years, Naira could have devalued by up to 80%.

However, if its a short term investment of 2-3 years, one can risk it in Naira cos the interest rates in NGN (12-15%), is much better than USD (1-4%)

yemmit90:
Pure truth.

The fact is that, every Nigerian is as corrupt as unfortunate leaders we have now. Give this functional system to Nigerians, some Nurses or Doctors would've out of their laziness prefer to ignore such call and give stupid excuses when queried.

I tell you! If you give 100 Nigerians N200, 000k to hold for you for 1 week, 98 will tell you story after that 1 week.

Was not surprised Efe lost. His style is too dependent on the power of his right hand. He's too stiff a d had little to no footwork.

I knew the moment he met a good technical boxer he'd lose.

But with a lot more training and practice, he can still improve significantly. Same thing with Efe Apochi.

Why does Lagos Ibadan line need 1000 people How many people are an the train at any given time. Max 2 is drivers and 5 attendants. When with maintenance staff I still struggle with 1000 staff

Some of us do have sex with condoms but when we are about to cum, we remove the condom and nut on her body (e.g boobs, face, ass, etc). Is this also part of stelthing?

Good question!

Waste of time!! What may be more useful is that they run for either House of Reps or Senate. That may be easier to win. And then they can make a difference in NASS.

proeast:
It still beats my imagination how these so-called unknown gunmen operate and with all the pictures and videos of them operating in the open yet they can't be traced?

There is obviously a conspiracy going on by those that are mandated to protect the people. What is currently happening in Anambra is sponsored terrorism. With the current sentiments against unknown gunmen, if truly they're indigenous, they won't have any hidden place now. However, if they're sponsored they would always return to those that sent them and would remain elusive.

Which video have you seen? Even this article says there was video, yet I see no video here o it is Nairaland.

Deputy Speaker, House Of Reps Leads Other Members To Visit Tinubu In London (Photos)

Nigerian deputy speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase led other members as they visited APC leader, Bola Tinubu in London today, IgbereTV reports.

The guy should die already and let's move on. After all, we will all eventually meet the same fate.

unitysheart:
One of the best roads in the country is the Lekki Epe Highway. And it is state road, not federal.

Lekki Epe is still as good as it it today because of the toll collected. At least they typically do not allow small potholes to degenerate before fixing them. If not for the toll, Lekki Epe would have fallen apart by now considering the high volume of traffic on that road.

It's because they toll it, that's why LASG at least tries to respond to it very quickly. that is the responsibility that tolling brings.

I would rather drive on a smooth and perfectly managed Lagos- Benin, or Ibadan Ilorin expressway and pay toll, than not pay toll and drive on a death trap.

TheSTreetman:
I know you're trying to include us in the picture but looking at all these artifacts above, I don't think this ordinary house is worth inclusion.

Abi o. Both this and Sultan of Sokoto palace do not deserve to be on this list.

However, we'd better remove the entire list from the internet, before some State Governors start to get ideas from seeing this.

Next thing you know, you see a line for N100bln in 2022 budget for State House reconstruction.

And besides, once this road is completed, LASG should immediately begin to plan for a Coastal road as well so that say by 2025, there will be at least 3 parallel roads of similar capacity to take people from Ajah axis to VI, Marina.

And in fact, beyond roads, a train system would be very welcome to that axis.

I really hope that the design of this road has been well thought through? Unfortunately, knowing Nigeria, it will not have. A factor that causes so much issue for the existing Lekki Epe expressway is the absence of flyovers, with proper exit and entry lane. While the effort to re-design the road from roundabout to junctions made some sense, it was not the most optimal because the traffic flow of that axis is too heavy even for junctions with traffic lights.

At the minimum, there should have been a flyover at 2nd (Marwa) round about, 4th Roundabout at Ikate, Igbo Efon, VGC and then the Ajah one. This would have allowed for much freer flow of traffic.

Omooba77:
8.75 kilometer Road and it is regional? Less than 10 km and yet billions will be expended. Go to Jakande and Igbo-Efon see the worsening state of roads. God will help you. One day posterity we judge us all!

Why won't billions be expended? I hope you know N1bln is only $2mln!! N10bln is only $20mln. Besides the road will be more expensive than normal because of the swampy and non solid nature of soil in that axis (a LOT of sand filling and compaction will be required - its not the same as building a road in Oyo state on firm, dry ground). Also because the fact that the construction is in a built up area, logistics will be difficult and safety and environmental measures have to be put in place much more than a road construction in the middle of nowhere.

I am not saying it might not be overinflated, or that there will not be corruption, but just trying to balance it for you.

He might have been killed by normal armed robbers. The use of 'gun men' may just be an attempt to sensationalize this news.

When they cant even deal with the traffic flow over these years. 4th Mainland bridge would have been the solution but our governor have been busy visiting Tinubu in London and investing the remaining money on Mo Abudu toto. It is well sha. No be me talk am, na gistloverblog incase you want to come for me.

How exactly is 4th Mainland bridge the solution? A bridge that goes from Ajah to Ikorodu...how does that help anyone in the Apapa, Festac, Ijora, Amuwo Odofin axis of Lagos?
