You got history wrong you shouldn't be handing out lectures. Read the link the author explained it well.

1. The project stared back 2006 with first deadline in 2011. What does advanced countries have to do with this? Lagos state made the deadline.

2. Ok your point be what? Is that why you miss 4 deadlines instead of making 1 reasonable one you can keep.

3. Were the funds stolen and the project on going. The project hasn't reach procurement phase. You making strawmen points. Both projects are on going. Allegations are just allegations.

4. I already posted about project check details on your leisure. I see some grand things like Lekki I'm impressed the foot bridges not so much.

The state government since 2009 has commenced the Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) network, a major component of the Strategic Transport Master Plan (STMP)

Do you believe all of the cash was spent? I have no love for him I've heard stories about him. This reminds me of the light lagos rail since 2011 in that it still hasn't been completed with $1 billion budgeted.

God forbid I reduce myself to your level. So much hate from your choice of words already.

Pls, Learn to be civil. That a people allow you trade around them doesn't mean they trust or love you...Business Is business. Americans have businesses in Iran likewise Iran in America.

They allow you trade for the mutual benefits and in areas they have low comparative advantage or capacity/expertise to do the business

Abeg the ipob-afonja syndrome is what you are exhibiting now. I don't know what that means and I don't care to know. I saw all that from nairaland.

My closes friends are yorubas, I speak the language fluently, I have nothing against them neither do I think anyone has anything against me. So stop this your personal direct gutter words.

I earlier said I made those statements from experience. Permit me to share one with you.

I was attached to work with a recent employed yoruba man! He has never worked with me or even know me from anyway. He went to the HOD to complain that he can't work with me that he sees me as a fraudulent person and the HOD insisted he should work with me as am the only IT person aside him that is my superior. My brother from that day onwards he refused to allow me access to the major system we use for the work but I kept my cool and didn't say a word and even kept going close because I like the fact I have someone to speak the language wit.

Areas he didn't know what to do instead of asking me he will take it to another fellow yoruba guy to do it for him. I still didn't say a word until trouble bursted he was suspended for manipulation of data.

I was asked to review all he has done so far and write a report. When I finished I didn't submit the report immediately, rather called him and asked him if someone else used flash on the system because he initially replied to a query issued him that no one had access aside him.

It was then he remembered his yoruba brother. I sent some spy to dig up the guy that was how we discovered he was the person that alerted the data so his brother will be sacked.

That's when this man opened up on all he has said about me and begged I forgive him. He was sent on suspension while the other guy was sacked.

So the essence of thread like this should be solutions and not increasing the hate and distrust. Pls don't mention me again!

Having spent one year in akwa ibom state and also going to different local govt areas in the state,I must confess akwa ibom has one of the best road network comparable to abuja.......But, the most critical problem for that state is unemployment due to lack of industries in the state......Udom should embark on an aggresive drive to bring investors to akwa ibom state and also laise with neighbouring states on how to fix the federal roads leading to akwa ibom state since the fed govt has refused to do their job[b].As for the ibaka seaport,do you think Lagos would want to share with any state Knowing fully well that majority of importers are from the south east.[/b]

Despite the yearly allocation of several billions of naira for the construction of a proposed greenfield deep seaport at Ibaka in Akwa Ibom State by both the State Government and the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) since 2011, the project has remained elusive, with no evidence of a port being built at the proposed site.

The project is missing in the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan and in the list of similar projects planned in partnership between the federal government and state government, with expectations of private investors collaborations, investigations by LEADERSHIP have revealed.

The Ibaka Deep Seaport, a project for which the federal ministry of transport, the NPA and the Akwa Ibom State Government have held several workshops and taken commendations at several events is also missing in a maritime and air transport report prepared by Steer Davies Gleave for the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) hosted by

The African Development Bank.

The study, which was carried out to assess the potential for enhanced private participation in the maritime and air transport sectors in Africa however identified the Lekki Deep Seaport measuring 970m of container berths, 320m dry bulk berth, 1-2 oil berths and located 60km east of Lagos.

The Badagry greefield port, Koko Port and Olokola Port were also listed with their capacity and promoters.

The water at Ibaka is said to have a natural draft of 11 metres, without dredging, making it a huge potential for possible deep seaport construction.

Akwa Ibom State has continued to budget for the port, which Governor Godswill Akpabio said would create employment for 100,000 Nigerians.

The NPA had also told LEADERSHIP in Uyo at the PCC meeting that the deep seaport would be completed in 2015.

When LEADERSHIP visited the proposed site of the deep seaport at Ibaka, there was nothing to show that a seaport was being planned at coastal community.

A lonely dilapidated narrow road, better described as a colonial road leads to Ibaka, from Oron. As early as 2011, the Akwa Ibom State Governor told a Nigeria Ports Consultative Council (PCC) meeting in Uyo that his government had concluded plans to dualise the road.

Is this one state owned?. Cos I heard over the radio that it's owned by some Turkish investors.

https://thenationonlineng.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kumral.jpg

Mr. Onur Kumral is Managing Director/Chief Executive, VKS Group of Companies, with vast interest in construction, manufacturing, among others. One its subsidiary, Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Limited, is set to establish the first ever syringe manufacturing company in sub-Sahara Africa, in Akwa Ibom State. The Turkish-born businessman recently addressed some journalists on the prospects of running a health equipment company, among other issues. Ibrahim Apekhade Yusuf was there.

They gathered to pray in a school... You sent your murderous soldiers to come and open fire on them... They organised peaceful protests in THEIR LANDS, you sent same murderous beasts to come and open fire on them... You didn't stop there... You went ahead to gloat and celebrate the massacre of these innocent and unarmed protesters.

Now I'm imagining if you won't send your entire airforce to drop bombs on them should they attempt a 10 million man march like you call it. We Afonjas are the worst kind of hypocrites ever to walk the earth.

i wrote that from experience. Yoruba's are not heartless no doubt so less of the outward display of the hatred but it's still there!my brother drop all this your grammar of your esteem and mentality, the real truth is both tribe have a high level of distrust and suspicion of each other. The essence of this article should be how we forge ahead as young individuals and not who to blame

FieryJustice:
intolerance to others who hold different opinions

FieryJustice:
it is the unity beggars/one Nigeria chanters that practice true bigotry

ejibaba:
Op I disagree with you! It's a fault on both sides. Yorubas hate th igbo's and vice-versa. I recently asked my closest elderly Yoruba friend why the hatred and mistrust among the two ethnic group...he also was confused. I just hope we put an end to this hatred because both tribe have a high rate of interest tribal marriage than any other tribe

FieryJustice:
osubande carry on!!
nothing do you

The Attorney General recommended that Trump fire him. Let's not forget the FBI director found Hillary Clinton "guilty of wrongdoing " but decided not to prosecute her. The guy needed to go and Trump fired him.

I was just waiting for the punchline loaded with ignorance and voila! It's right there at the bottom of the pile of dog-crap! Y'all never disappoint, the greed and Ahitophel nature must peek through and overshadow every seemingly altruistic move.

Well done Op, it's in you!

You mean The Punch newspaper is peddling rumour? Let her come out and deny or state her own side of the story. One thing am thankful to God for about my country is that nobody can cage us from freedom of expression. Military tried and failed, the current administration benefited from our freedom of speech, let her bring her case to public for review.

Jaideyone:
lol post NYSC work has taken me to 3 different geographical zones outside the southwest and I've not seen any building as tall and elegant as the cocoa house and Femi Johnson house outside Lagos and abuja. spent a few days in port Harcourt so I can't say for sure. yet these villagers label Ibadan backward. both buildings have been in Ibadan for decades now and our developers are still behind.

I just look at them and shake my head. ignorance is bliss
