Why do you post ignorantly? The way you encourage this level of impunity and gross disobedience to constituted authority like that stupid mofo called Sagay is the very reason why this country is in disarray.

Mind you afterall, Mr President has proven time and time again that he doesnt need the budget to work, so why the fuss about thebudget when it can be passed any time! If passing of budget was that pertinent, that incompetent old man that calls himself president wont be galavanting round the globe making uncalled for comments about his own country. Atleast, he has been nigerian's money, not his personal one.

Itse Sagat or whatever he is called is a very careless man who makes careless and reckless statements because he feels he has the presidency on his side. Statements that would still come and haunt him. He encouraged Ali and many others to disregard the other arms of government and fowls the rule of law and complete disregard to constituted authorities out of personal grudge. He will be on the receiving end very soon, all na time.

And that you think like him is a very sad one

Oga pls read and educate yourself. Nigeria is a country of laws! It's Saraki and his clan that are the most lawless people in this country.

the functions, duties and responsibilities of the IGP as listed in Section 215 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria can also be carried out as mentioned in section 312 (1) of the Police Act and Regulation by a senior officer of the Force of the Rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police and Assistant Inspector General of Police who if permitted by the Inspector General of Police to act on his behalf or represent him in official capacity at any function, event or programme within and outside Nigeria and can do so in consonant with the provisions of the Police Act and Regulation.

He said it is on the basis of the above that while the Inspector General of Police is on an official assignment in Bauchi State that he delegated the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Department of Operations to represent him and honour the invitation of the Senate, Federal Republic of Nigeria in respect of the felonious offenses for which Sen. Dino Melaye was taken into Police custody, investigated and to be arraigned in the Federal High Court, Lokoja without further delay.

He added that, "Consequently, the general public are hereby implored to note that the Inspector General of Police acted rightly in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Police Act and Regulation and other extant laws by delegating the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Department of Operations to represent him at the Senate, National Assembly on 26th April, 2018 to present the Police report, actions and findings in a case of Criminal Conspiracy and Unlawful Possession of Prohibited Firearms and other sundry offenses indicting Senator Dino Melaye."

Yusman316:
Young woman, the fbi and justice department re investigating President Donald Trump for collusion with Russia during his presidential campaign. Yet the U.S legislators did not summon anyone for explanation. Why re things always different in Nigeria and with Nigerians? Always summoning anyone that doesn't see things their way. The legislators re the ones playing dictator in this government and not the executive

Bishopsgate:
Hahaha.

Unintelligent you say? Because you are too lazy intellectually to provide answers or explanations you now start talking gibberish and calling me ipob (whatever that means to you).

You are clearly not as bright as you think if you are incapable of minor intellectual discourse. Prove your point beyond the hogwash document you have been throwing around.

I guess you are just a kitty cat that thinks he is a lion...you can never roar just mewing all over the internet!!

Blizzy9ja:
I know the only defence that low lives like you have on nairaland is calling anybody that complains about your dullard incompetent paymaster, ipod... Buhari is such a failure am surprised your not shocked... so u voted the senile dullard to defend his ineptitude? You're very shameless

Blizzy9ja:
Your brain is obviously rotten... Is building a world class hospital rocket science?... What is wrong with your sense? kai! I blame your parent for wasting their money on you, you should join herdsmen

kolaish:
And the 3 years Buhari has spent on the presidency is not enough to build a standard hospital? He has not even laid any foundation for building one! Let's call a spade what it should be called. They are all the same.

Printerscanner:
Venezuelan late President was treated in Cuba. Saudi Royal family members are treated in US and Europe. Several world leaders have been treated in foreign lands. Even Mama Piss died and resurrected on the 8th day in a Germany hospital. Why then do you want to suffocate yourself on Buhari's treatment?

Bishopsgate:
Dear deomelo

I am back home now so I have your time.

I was aware of the write up as far back as February so that's nothing new to me. The thread is doing exactly what I wanted to see.

I state once again that this deal was bloated and a bad one for Nigeria on the basis of comparative analysis.

This Brazilian aircraft was sold to other Third World countries in the past so we were not the first. Did you take time to compare the costs for Nigeria to the other countries?

Are you aware that this deal was not done directly between the two governments but between Nigeria and a private contractor in the US? The government is only involved as a matter of law that requires govt approval for weapons deals of this nature to ensure that the US doesn't arm the wrong people or governments (even though we all know that their weapons end up in terrorists' hands all over the world).

I will like to negate this write up on which you have purportedly placed your conviction that the deal is adequately priced and not inflated with the following arguments:-

1.That a deal is confirmed by a US govt agency doesn't necessarily mean the deal is not inflated. It simply means that the deal is confirmed okay in line with the laws governing arms sales by US firms.

2.That you attached the write up from that agency stating the proposed contract amount and what it covers does not mean that we Nigerians did not get the short end of the stick because the agency is not involved in the pricing. The is was agreed with the arms contractor, which is a private firm out to make profit. The company is called SIERRA NEVADA CORP which does slot of space and defence contracts for the US government and it's owned by a billionaire husband and wife.

Please read the write up below. I have s
Displayed portions relevant to all to see.


SIERRA NEVADA CORP. AWARDED $172.5 MILLION TO PROVIDE SIX A-29 AIRCRAFT TO LEBANON
US Department of Defense
October 30, 2015
Sierra Nevada Corp., Mary Esther, Florida, has been awarded a $172,500,000 firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for six A-29 aircraft. Contractor will provide six A-29 aircraft with associated support and equipment. This contract also provides for spares, support equipment, alternate mission equipment, interim contractor support, and engineering technical services for the A-29 aircraft. Work will be performed at Mary Esther, Florida, and is expected to be complete by July 31, 2019. This contract is 100 percent foreign military sales for the republic of Lebanon"

This same aircraft was sold to Lebanon with all the so called extra stuff you quoted as being responsible for the additional $200m + on our bill at $172.5m for 6 pieces. This means each one comes to only $28.75m per plane, while the same shot sold to us with same extras comes to $41.3m each!! A difference of almost $12m per aircraft.

Please Oga can you explain this to me?

Meanwhile pease note that Nigerian youth and adults are not lazy and neither are they illiterates. I keep seeing posts where the term "illiterate" is used to describe people here on NL.

Illiteracy doe not connote stupidity nor foolishness, it's simply an inability to read and write due to a lack of modern education. Everyone on Nairaland is literate since they can read and write.

You would do better referring to the use of words like unenlightened or shallow to describe people you think are not smart but I must say that we all must be careful because even fools make sense once in a while.

First seek to understand and THEN to be understood...

Na fufu dey ur brain. D project dt is meant to be handled by local govt. na him ur APC clowns dey flaunt. Fuddled brain.

seguno2:
Is it not being a slowpoke and a retard combined to expect Fashola to continue serving under Buhari?
Is it not being a slowpoke and a retard combined to have northerners who need only 12 for admission into Unity schools to dominate southerners who need 66 to be admitted?
Oga, abeg park well and examine yourself.

49cents:
This is just superficial guys. These governors know y'all ain't smart so they do things deliberately so sway you and here you are all falling for it.

An intelligent citizenry will ask:

How much did it cost to our state's coffers?
Was the process of procurement transparent?
Beyond environmental aesthetics, how many more jobs has a state government generated via its policies?
How has tax generated from the increased economy temperature of the state affected on health care, education and basic infrastructure?


If we don't discuss the real issues, our as a society will remain bleak

aystunt:
for every 1 station commissioned in SW 2will be commissioned in NW and u call dt positioning of SW

nnokwa042:
if Nigeria break up abokki will still distroy every thing in Lagos you know they control air force army police custom so what do you gonna do run to Togo?

yemmight:
Whatever negative discussion anybody may have about Fashola, he remains one our best in the country. God best Fashola. Even in this most difficult executive, legislative and judiciary in the country, He still performs excellently well. God bless Fash.

If only I didn't do a project here in an European institution about the 'problems' of graffiti I for talk, but keep on.
Graffiti is still regarded as vandalism in European Uraban planning and real estate circles and is still associated with poor areas.
In America for example, you don't find them in gated estates for the well to do, but you find them in poor rundown parts of Brooklyn.
In Germany, cities like Berlin and Bremen have spent loads and loads of cash trying to rid the city off too much graffiti. Of course, there are some areas where street art is sponsored, but they are done by professionals and are usually very artistic and doesn't depicts those shit on the wall as shown by the OP which is not different from vandalism. I won't go further because I don't think you can conceive this problem at all, Lagos is already a chaos.

Eke40seven:
Oga! You lived in Lagos for 10 years I was born in Lagos and schooled there too. I have been to enough cities in West Africa and Europe to agree with the report! Lagos is a shalanga! Sometimes when I watch YouTube videos and news on Lagos, I just spit in disgust. Even we as a people are very dirty and disorganised. The disorderliness that has become part of the city is quite shameful.

Nigerians we like copying stuffs without mowing the meaning behind it.
In some developed countries, graffiti is a sign of a bad neighborhood and signifies poverty sometimes.. in fact, graffiti is illegal in many places and police might even arrest and seize stuffs or tools that can be potentially used for graffiti. Governments have brought up different strategies to stop it. How come Lagos state govt is exhulting just so it can resemble what we see on TV?
They should invest more in African arts than just copying things.

Lagos is rich by default. Due to taxes from major companies with headquarters there, major seaports and airports. Tinubu dey loot d IGR sha but giving small crumbs
