u might be right , but the machines doing road seal were all written Dangote , notice the big machines at work there , I didn't see hi-tech on any of them ,

The reference to Dangote re-awarding the job to Hitech is in the story. Forget the labels on the equipment. It's a sweetheart arrangee. They decide among themselves whose equipment and personal will be used. Also, how the funding is arranged. See below

"It will be recalled that the reconstruction of Apapa-Oshodi Expressway was started by Dangote Group under the Road Infrastructure Development & Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme aka Executive Order 007 signed by Pres. Buhari in January 2019 (Dangote awarded the contract to Hitech)".

Gather here if you hate the new Nairaland Interface design.

* Click "like" if you hate it and want to Seun to revert to the deeper green color

* Click "share" if you think it is cool, and we should keep the new look.

I tire for Seun oooo

Since yesterday NL just dey make my eye like wuli wuli. I no like this new design at all

otes35:
Nairaland biko ur current UI isn't maKing sense at all.. Thank you

As long as your lazy son Yusuf will join the tree planting youth, rather than racing power bikes in Abuja streets

Conspiracy theory indeed! Do you have contrary facts, to what I posted. If you chose to wallow in ignorance, the larger tax paying public have the right to know.

Do you really understand the true meaning of "privately funded" projects? I guess you mean the road is owned by Dangote and he pays for the construction as a gift to FG and Nigeria. Dream on. Cost for all PPP funded projects are recovered either by tolling, FG bonds or direct foreign loans taken by FG which are funnelled back to the PPP contractor. There is no free lunch my friend.

The fact that a particular infrastructure project is executed via PPP does not exempt it from BPE due process. Please educate yourself by contacting ICRC.

Who deceived you into thinking only Tinubu's Hitech can build roads? Have you gone to see the mess they have made of Lekki-Epe expressway? They have been struggling with a simple expansion of an existing road for over 12 years now. They have not progressed beyond Sangotedo. There are hundreds of excellent road contractors who can do excellent job, but this nepotistic govt must funnel all jobs to Tinubu

NGpatriot:
Must everything be conspiracy theories or Tinubu this and Tinubu that?

Who cares who is or not doing the job as long as they do a good job.

Construction is privately funded and if Dangote feels like awarding contract or giving their money to Hitech, it's their business and their money.

Which Dangote? Did you read the post at all?

Dangote collected the work, but passed it on to Hitech, Tinubu's construction company fronted for him by Lebanese. It's all arrangee.

Same thing for Oshodi-Murtala Muhammed Int Airport Road. Lagos State under Ambode arm twisted Fashola that Lagos will execute it, then simply passed it on to Hitech. No public tender, no competitive pricing.

The value of both sweetheart contracts is hidden from the public

majamajic:
dangote Construction company is doing a nice job there

they are constructing with cement and iron rod

just like house German floor

or house decking

Lagos state government should pity people living in ajao estate

no road in that area , in area in front of international airport

Another Buhari govt "to" , "shall" , "will" policy.

They should go and manufacture a more expensive lie. This one is too cheap �

Someone did a comprehensive review sometime ago and recommended Qserver as the only Nigerian host that compares to foreign hosts

magictonic:
I have used qservers.net for many websites, yet no issues.

Web4Africa is also not bad.

The curse her father, Dr Victor Olunloyo (ex Governor of Oyo State) placed on her is working on Kemi

Baba abeg help me ask them oooo.

Tinubu will send bullion vans to fetch cash for sharing during election, and will not pay a dime. These rules are meant for the poor.

Mydazz:
What will be charged on two Bullion Vans withdrawal?

This is in addition to the 5% charge on online purchases. The shock of the 7.2% VAT increase is yet to even sink in. Which kind mumu next level govt is this for goodness sake?

Cashless transaction, they will tax heavily. Cash transaction they still tax. They want to completely flatten the masses

They should just bring bucket and drain our blood

Nigerians To Start Paying For Bank Deposits In 2020
The charges will attract three per cent processing fees for withdrawals and two per cent processing fees for lodgments of amounts above N500,000 for individual accounts.

Starting from September 18, 2019, Nigerians operating bank accounts will begin to pay charges for deposits and withdrawals.

Making the announcement on Tuesday, the Central Bank of Nigeria said that the nationwide implementation of the cashless policy will begin by March 2020.

The apex bank said that implementation of the policy would signal the imposition of charges on deposits in addition to already existing charges on withdrawals.

According to the circular, the charges will attract three per cent processing fees for withdrawals and two per cent processing fees for lodgments of amounts above N500,000 for individual accounts.

For corporate accounts, the apex bank in the circular said that DMBs would charge five per cent processing fee for withdrawals and three per cent for lodgments of amounts above N3m.

The statement, however, disclosed that the charge on deposits would apply in Lagos, Ogun, Kano, Abia, Anambra, and Rivers states as well as the Federal Capital Territory.

The same way technology was used to create video of Ganduje stuffing bundles of dollars into his agbada, or bullion vans ferrying cash to Tinubu's Ikoyi residence during the last election.

The oppressed will always justify the oppression of the rich and powerful

Ijawwomaninoyo:
Where did you read me defending anybody that I know? I said there are software used in creating an audio with perfection, your voice from anywhere is needed and a script written.
It will merge both and create the written script in your voice perfectly without mistakes.
Did people not make different Photoshop to ridicule Buhari's visit despite being shown on TV?
Did people not believe the Photoshop?
In this Technology age, an audio is not a guaranteed evidence because there are software that can do it.
Why was the audio not taken to the Police after the lady's death? Where did it come from now?

Burden of proof ko, basket of waterproof ni.

Baseless accusations. Legal / criminal cases are not won based on hear-say, sentiments, or public opinions. But rather facts/ burden of proof as in the case of PDP/Atiku on INEC server and co.

If you do the calculation on per capita basis, you will need telescope to look for Nigeria at the bottom of the list

Nigeria is the third wealthiest country in Africa for 2019 — despite being home to billionaire Aliko Dangote

There are two Nigerians on the list of the Forbes top 5 African billionaires ruled by Aliko Dangote.

You would think this would make Nigeria the wealthiest country on the continent.
The new 2019 Wealth Report compiled by AfrAsia Bank says otherwise as Nigeria is ranked as Africa’s third wealthiest nation and Lagos state the fourth wealthiest city.

Nigeria is home to two of Africa’s richest people — Aliko Dangote with $10.3 billion and Mike Adenuga with $9.2 billion — as estimated by Forbes.

However, data from the September 2019 Wealth Report compiled by AfrAsia Bank shows that it is not the wealthiest nation on the continent.

The number one position goes to South Africa with a total wealth of $649 billion. This excludes government funds and includes private wealth (properties, cash, business interests and equities) held by all the people living in each country.

Egypt is in second place with $303 billion while Nigeria follows with $225 billion.

The report cited the following as reasons for Nigeria’s ranking:

Safety concerns and tensions
Outgoing migration of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs)
Investors running away because of the clampdown on foreign companies like MTN
Decrease in oil prices
Loss of value in Naira compared to the US dollar

City Ranking

Nigeria ranks even lower in the statistics for the wealthiest cities in Africa. In the list ruled by Johannesburg, Capetown (both in South Africa), and Egypt's Cairo, Lagos, Nigeria is ranked the fourth.

Despite being the largest city in the continent in terms of population and Gross domestic products (GDP), Lagos only has a total wealth of $96 billion.

As of December 2018, Africa has a total wealth of $2.2 trillion, 42 per cent of which is belongs to HNWIs. This shows the alarming disparity between the rich and poor.

1. South Africa - $649 billion

2. Egypt - $303 billion

3. Nigeria - $225 billion

4. Morocco $114 billion

5. Kenya $93 billion

6. Angola $69 billion

7. Ghana $59 billion

8. Ethiopia $57 billion

9. Tanzania $57 billion

martineverest:
u just displayed ur stupidity unknowingly...nigeria an opec member and this act will affect oil price and this ripple effect in our economy...same way OPEC countries lamented when MEND destroyed pipelines in niger delta

What exactly is your point? Is the effect (spike in price) not to our benefit? So why should we decry it?

We need more disruption from huge producers to keep the price way above our budget benchmark.

This is "Saudi windfall" or should we call it "Yemeni windfall "?

Look at his puff puff nose like that of Emmanuel Uduaghan

You dey mind all these i-Stupid people buying outrageously expensive iPhones?

GMan650:
When one considers the stuffs an average Nigerian does on a mobile device; getting all these Android devices is more cost effective than getting an high end iPhone or Samsung phone.

The basic things an high end Apple/Samsung product, a normal midrange Oppo, Xiaomi, Infinix can do the same and might do it better. Most Nigerians are just blinded to 'brands'.

If El-Rufari, Sanusi Lamido, and Fayemi heard the country is boycotting the summit, why couldn't they stay put in their hotel rooms, and board the next available flight out of SA?

Rwandan and Zambian officials were also there before the latest xenophobic attacks, and they left immediately. Why couldn't our own officials also depart SA?

And one lazy jobless yoot called Yusuf Buhari who bought two powerbikes for himself and a friend and turned Abuja streets into race track is still walking free

What sort of Cow-ntry is this?

Are South Africans not working in the shops and car dealerships that South Africans razed to the ground?
I don't understand your logic

DeWisedon:
Those people attacking shoprite will still foolishly recharge their MTN lines and make calls with it and also subscribe to DSTV and GOTV today instead of breaking their Simcards and damaging their DSTV if really they want to boycott SA products....

South Africans are there attacking Nigerians and their businesses and we are here looting Nigeria owned businesses inside shoprite mall amd burning down MTN buildings where Nigerians are working.
Its still a Win Win Situation for South Africa
Una sure say we get sense at all?

Must we behave foolishly like South Africans
Can lack of proper education be the cause of all these in Africa

All those Nigerians being killed does not mean anything to Buhari. It's the day they kill one cow that's the day dem go know say khaki no be leather.

Meanwhile our able presido is jejely enjoying his kilishi

ariketalks:
Oh really? How soon? When all Nigerians living in South Africa have been massacred?

Zanas:
Our president is a joke

You mean Cow-sident who rules over this Cowntry?
Ok. I got u

Once one single cow is killed in SA , Buhari will move in the military armada and flatten South Africa

CheapDataGuy:
Is Abba Kyari the president??

Are you just knowing?

Exactly my thoughts. Whilst others are taking drastic action by pulling out, our mumu cow-loving president is sending jumbo delegation to go and beg Ramaphosa

alsudan:
Yet, one Kunu guzzling dullard is busy sending delegations to SA to go and beg.

Which kind mumu weak president be dis sef.
He is despatching envoy to go and beg and reason the matter

Next thing he will tell Lai Mohammed to call a press conference and blame GEJ for the attacks

MANofMEN:
STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS: PRESIDENT BUHARI DESPATCHES SPECIAL ENVOY TO SOUTH AFRICA


President Muhammadu Buhari has noted with deep c
oncern, reported attacks on Nigerian citizens and property in South Africa since August 29, 2019.

Consequently, the President has instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, to summon the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria and get a brief on the situation; express Nigeria’s displeasure over the treatment of her citizens; and assurance of the safety of their lives and property.

President Buhari has also despatched a Special Envoy to convey to President Cyril Ramaphosa his concerns and also interact with his South African counterpart on the situation.

The Special Envoy is expected to arrive in Pretoria latest Thursday, September 5, 2019.



Femi Adesina

Special Adviser to the President

It's like you don't know that Spar is also a South African brand, owned by South Africans. Don't be fooled by the Indians you see running the show there.

izzou:


As much as I don't support violence, this was much expected

Both presidents have failed to address their citizens and the situation.

From Shoprite to Stanbic to MTN and Multichoice, it will keep escalating

Let Buhari and the other big head wait till October.

Las Las, na Spar and Ebeano go laugh









And nobody should bring that epistle of Nigerians losing. It was evident it will end up like this

A 14yr old is coming to build secondary school for El Rufai. Meanwhile the midget governort is busy paying salary to Boko Haram members and bandits.

BTW what course did the boy study at Oxford?

Even if the Japanese Prime Minister gave Buhari $3 instead of the $300,000 he got, he will still accept and salute "rankadede".

And we still 3 1/2 years of this blight to go. By the time he leaves in 2023, the entire nation will be infected with his poverty mentality.

divineappo:
has any one observed that, whenever buhari travel to any country (except UK - Ear infection issues), he goes there to beg for money, because he & his team av no idea how to generate revenue

It's a cultural thing with him. If you know, you know. The parasitic and spirit of dependency is deeply ingrained in him. It comes naturally, he can't help himself. If he travels to Somali, Sudan or Haiti, he will still beg.

In Davido's voice....
"Everytime wire me money...."
"Hello baby have you sent it?"

This beg beg almajiri mentality is coded in Buhari's DNA. A whole President going to beg and he is rewarded with a miserable $400,000 ($300k + 12m Yen) .

This man always disgracing us EVERYWHERE HE GOES
