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.

NPA can't reposition jack!! All na mouth!

[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.

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.

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.

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?

No be this same cruiserweight category Efe Apochi dey? The guy lost for the first time a few months ago.

Him hype Don come down now. I always felt his opponents up until now were very weak. No one really gave him a good fight till now.

We lost out on this one again.

There are sooooo many Foreigners of Nigerian descent representing other countries. Just watch the Olympics. Almost every time they list participants, you will see' Nigerians' representing other countries.

Blue3k:
The states still waiting on oil companies to agree on relocating headquarters? You would think they would secure those agreements before building but whatever.

Are you minding the mumu’s. That story about oil companies relocating is just a story for the masses. The building was built as a reason to issue big contract and steal money. Only Exxon Mobil has significant operations in Akwa ibom, besides they are in Eket.

Army Green Helicopter Dropped Bandits Who Killed Ten In Katsina Community — Residents

Esseite:
Someone earns about 400k monthly which is suppose to be a very good salary, but his expenses despite frugal is not cutting it.. he has been advised on marriage countless times, but he does not just know how to support such. He tries to make people see reason as to why the "big boy tag" does not fit because he cant see it at all..

- his job prevents me from cooking and he really does not know how to cook either, really really bad at cooking.
- he stays in an apartment of 1m/annum, which is somewhat not luxury I think.

Rent - 84,000 monthly (average 2 bed)
Security - 5,000 monthly
Estate security - 3,000 monthly
Cleaner - 5,000 monthly
Dstv - 9,500 monthly
Auto Fueling - 50,000 monthly
Auto servicing - 7,000 (3mths projection)
Auto miscellenous/charges - 10,000 (tolls,pr)
Generator fuel/service - 30,000 monthly
Laundry - 10,000 monthly
Feeding - 77,500 (2,500/day)
Hangout/chills/network - 30,000 (7,500/week)
Clothing/wears/accessories - 10,000 (monthly)
Electricity bill - 10,000(monthly)
Gifts - 10,000(monthly- No wife/No GF)
Home maintenance/personal care- 10,000 (monthly)
Healthcare miscellenous - 5,000 (monthly)
Internet data - 10,000 (monthly)
Recharge card - 16,000 monthly (500 daily)

Total = N395,200
Savings - 7,800

How in the world would he explain to people that he does not have. He is an introverted character and a very frugal in finances. He didnt not factor in furnishing et all.. he has no school fees and multiple mouths to feed.

It's not a bad salary in the context of what people earn in Nigeria, but it's not a particularly good salary either. A good salary would be N800k - N1mln.

The design is good, but the execution is a bit tacky! Doesn't look like a building that wik stand the test of time. If this was being built in US, the Europe or Middle East, it would be far more solid.
