More on the new policy

What this policy implies is that no other airline would be able to fly Nigerian passengers besides Emirates, a UAE owned airline which has its major hub at the Dubai International Airport.



Industry stakeholders believe that
Dubai is intentionally creating monopoly for Emirates Airline with this policy and are urging the Federal Government to intervene by reciprocating as the development would increase the cost of travel.


Aviation Round Table argued that besides creating capacity for Emirates, the policy negates the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) which Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates operate. They further urged Nigerian carriers to request reciprocity.

“What this implies is that Emirates will be the sole airline operating to Dubai.This goes against the bilateral air agreement between the two countries. Nigeria is at a position to reject this unilateral imposition based on the huge passenger traffic from Nigeria to UAE.”

There were fears that this may affect airlines like Air Peace which is currently the only domestic airline that carries passengers to Sharjah, UAE.

But why is this diseases only killing high profile people
It's killing many people at various Health Centres and General Hospitals, but they record it as Malaria or typhoid ignorantly, just because COVID-19 has similar symptoms.

You don't hear such you, cos most of those dying are not popular. The news makers are the celebrities.

Gov Sanwoolu knows what he's saying when he said Malaria and typhoid symptoms presented by any patient should be treated as COVID-19

That is not what the new policy says oga
Seems you don't understand what you read from your own link

Let me educate you.

All airlines apart from Emirates stop over in different cities of the world.

Only Emirates take you from Abuja or from Lagos and lands you at Dubai International airport.

What this directive is saying is that if you want to come to UAE via Dubai, get a direct flight from Nigeria that will bring you to Dubai and not stopover in any where else in the world.

This is a directive that will help Emirates Airline.
The same rule clearly mentions 'transit'

If you use Ethiopian Airline, it takes you from Lagos to Addis Ababa first and not to Dubai directly.

If you use Turkish Airline, it takes you from Lagos to Istanbul first and not Dubai straight.

If you use British Airways, it takes you to London first, before Dubai


If you use Air Peace, it takes you from Lagos to Sharjah first, not to Dubai. Sharjah is very close to Dubai and same country (UAE)

If you use Etihad, it takes you from Lagos to Abu Dhabi, not Dubai (though Dubai and Abu Dhabi are cities in the same country called UAE)

Only Emirates takes you from Nigeria to Dubai and that's what this rule is saying

Sir, Ogun State is not different from Lagos. Am not condemning the scheme from being truthful, it might yield expectations but human involvement is a problem. I was still at there Revenue office & Town Planning of Ado/Odo Ota this week, come and see the assessment that was worked out. The woman added a "sum" personally for herself without naming it anything. There, you pay cash, they will be the one to lodge it into state account.
Some of the people Ambode sacked at Ministry of Physical Planning in Lagos have found their way to be appointed into office in Ogun State in the ministry of Physical Planning.

They're implementing their revenue drive at they ministry in a terrible way. I had the opportunity of telling the commissioner last year that they need to be more people friendly.

Imagine us being billed ₦7,300,000 as assessment for Gas skid.

We bought the land ₦1,000,000
We spent ₦2,400,000 to put up the skid.
Less than ₦4,000,000 on land and skid

Physical Planning is now asking for ₦7.3m assessment to get approval. Just imagine approval cost higher than land value and cost of development.

How will they attract investment into Ogun State that way?

We have 6-7 projects like that they we would be paying over ₦45m to get ordinary approval.

Note that this is still different from cost of obtaining C of O. By the time Lands Bureau bill you, theirs could be as high as ₦5m to obtain C of O. Cause of revenue, government fees is higher than cost of investment on project

No wonder almost all Gas Plant and Filling Stations in Ogun State do not have approval due to insensitivity of government.

Wouldn't it be better to slash the fees and invite more people to come forward for approval than chasing people away?

Okay.
There's always a way to build on any soil type. Only the none availability of money may be the major constraint towards achieving it.
If bridges can be built on water without collapsing, any land can accommodate any building, but the best foundation is piling to the lowest possible depth.

12k for DPChuh?

Abi I’m dreaming ni? 100mm thick or just 25mm? Regardless the size of the building I have NEVER budget anything less than 50k for DPC. (Read this part slowly)

Below is what DPC look like even in the government affordable housing scheme. You’re not allowed to manually mix concrete. I do minimum of 8 concreters for a 100sqm footprint.

Machine Operator - 1
Cement - 1
Water - 1
Granite - 1
Sand - 1
Loader/Carrier - 3
Bricklayer (leveling) - 1

Where will you get casting crew that’ll accept N1,500.

@segzyfunmi this is reason why you need to share your building plan. Even if it’s a sketch.
The soil texture here is clay right?

Do you feel comfortable building on Clay soil?
