Looooooooong Thing, Kwara UTD aka Afonja Warrior signed a 2 years old GIRL that will be trained to play in the men's league

coming from mario balotelli chei mourinho don suffer!!

anyway Spanish football send me to sleep too damn slow and they act like sissies every tackle is a foul!

Me sha, before then i will have to have 30 ATM cards, at a go i can withdraw up to one million and not loose a up to 500 bucks. We are not going any where. We dey kampe.

do you feel inadequate if you dont get to see your money in real cash, you feel less poor seeing the money with ya koroko eye so?

someone with several millions will already have enough sense to get internet banking and ATM cards anyway, so keep counting those kobos

Princek12:
Nigeria is a very funny country. They are trying to promote a cashless society like the western world, but they have not put in place the necessary infrastructure that will enable a cashless society to come into fruition. No adequate power, not so easy for merchants to get the machine, etc.

there are already several shops and locations accepting cards for payment, mobile banking is also taking off, these directives will only make banks and pos promoters hasten up and get those lil machines out there, most business are already operating with inadequate power anyway and in 12 months time we should be several MW up


some banks already charge for withdraw less than 100k or 50k or something to encourage people to use atm

^^ but London is still sustainable, the house prices re-adjust once in a while, stratford is now an Olympic area
but price of some products in Lagos is something else

the cost of living vs the living wage is not balanced at all

WHATS THE PERCENTAGE OF BANK CUSTOMERS WITHDRAWING OVER 150,000 IN A DAY IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY??

AND A MASSIVE PORTION OF THE GROUP THTA CAN AFFORD/NEED TO WITHDRAW THAT LARGE SUM WOULD PROBABLY BE EDUCATED ENOUGH TO GET AN ATM OR USE INTERNET BANKING

2011-2012

this time next year people will still be asking for an 'extension' it's not rocket science

All these Amala transfer policy, what in the world can we do right, dont they have transfer records with compensation processes?

was this not they guy saying waka to his former coach at sunshine stars?

i really wonder what kinda club want to take this man and his baggage, i guess the 13% derivates ondo is pulling from the FG is making thempay over the odds

how man goals has he scored this season?

Kaduna governorship election result at Sambo’s polling unit shows CPC 247, PDP 148, ACN 4

234next

Adewole Estate, they get 'regular' power except they dont know they are on 24/7 generator ,

I'm sure Kwara state doesn't need more than 50MW

^^ have you asked someone in the HR department of your company?

OAM4J:
Yes I agree, but am not sure we have the resources to  develop an entirely new rail network in 4 years, I will support a gradual process starting from what is on the ground.

S[b]ince there is already a rail line from Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan-Ogbomosho (I think), lets link that line eastward, like Ibadan-Ilesha- Akure-Ado ekiti through PPP[/b]

but the current line is a single gauge line, very slow old school system that cant be improved much, Lagos to ibadan is taking 7-8 hours, very bad for business or those intending to work in one state and live in another.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=655533.msg8218561#msg8218561 date=1303950303]You mean that it is a bad idea to do this, I guess.
So are you envisioning
A) better ordinary rail networks for transporting goods
B) and high-speed rail/train from say Ibadan to Lagos to transport people?

That, as an alternative to laying down new interstate roads?[/quote]you can use the same track for the same thing, high speed rail will do both just change coaches

ola olabiy:
My advice: As a businessman, don't attempt this in Nigeria in a 'sensitive' sector without FG's support.

the FG is not an enemy, they'll always be on board, price has been gradually rising since '09 and its being reviewed again so I'm sure they'll finally get their profits, those already investing in IPP sure arent business newbies

naijababe:
Not sure it will work on any of the above, are all the above under the power of the FG? I recall Tinubu wanted to badly to commence IPP in Lagos with Enron and Obj suffocated it

But lagos was able to get AES i think to generate power 270mw and 12mw for water project

the majority will be distributed nationwide but going forward the distribution companies are being privatized they just have to invest in these companies like lagos invested in a transformer manufacturing company, if SW states invest in IPP they can deal to get a better share of the overall output before it goes countrywide

Nah i think that one is just for illustration, any commissioner or engineer that agrees to that type has obviously taken a bribe


well lets hope they don't get  Oil and Gas air,

Katsumoto:
FG may concede certain infrastructure when there are alternatives. But if it concedes roads to state governments, how does it maintain reach to every corner, if state govts deny passage or refuse to maintain? Granting a concession to a private firm to maintain is not the same as relinquishing control.

Every state assumes responsibility for the stretch within its borders.

they dont have to relinquish control just force it to pass them to private companies you have interest in and/or improve the infrastructure, the end goal is to link the states with good roads/trains, not necessarily to own everything, so the senators/reps will be working harder to get the best deal for the region and monitor lazy contractors or lazy treasury officials to release money

very obvious you have never been on a train or the kind of trains you enter na flying train

no windows on a train? yorrr

ola olabiy:
Bulge? Nope!

Then, 36 states will have ports/PPP. Thus undermining the statutory obligations/oversight of FG.

obviously they wont say yes to everything, it will under go scrutiny but the states will be strategically moving in the same direction

or what about all these.?

Dis Guy:
the Lagos=Ibadan road was concessioned*, 25 years i think to Bi-courtney

the local airport in lagos was concessioned* , Bicourtney

they were looking for ppp ofr the benin-ore road

the badagry road was ppp'd with Fg approval and im sure the metro rails in lagos got FG approval too

why will they block foreign money?

Katsumoto:
FG will not relinquich control of those roads.

the Lagos=Ibadan road was concessioned*, 25 years i think to Bi-courtney

the local airport in lagos was concessioned* , Bicourtney

they were looking for ppp ofr the benin-ore road

the badagry road was ppp'd with Fg approval and im sure the metro rails in lahgos ogt FG approval too

why will they block foreign money?

The FG will budge it will only take time, i dont think the FG will say no to foreign investment just becuase its coming to a certain region, all they need to do is PPP, the FG contribute the state government contribute and the private sector contribute, so everyone is always involved those in different percentages

The ACN is a minority party but sabotaging progress wont look good on jonathan's CV, the media will polongo his case to the whole world as an enemy of progress, tribalistic mehu mehu

cool, good things popping

gbam gbamu jigi jigi gbamu gbamu

na until i get answer o

nearing completion as in. . . .? operational by end of 2011?

whats the due date?

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=655533.msg8218179#msg8218179 date=1303946185]I've also wondered a bit about the road networks in the SW. What is the best way to fix them rapidly? Unfortunately, the more important roads are owned by the FG. . . this is a major stumbling block.[/quote]about 60+ 'agents' in the house of assembly, the hat wearing teacher had better listen or else no bills will ever be passed, na to hold am to ransom na

Yea agriculture is very important most especially the full chain in that sector so we dont just sell raw products and the state should push for a ban on local produced or produceable food products

We need the whole region to be linked together then take advantage of neighbouring countries too, that will expand expand the market

Modern Oloye you mean

Lemonade or Orange juice for me thank you fery much, orange preferably from baba's farm


Grow IGR aggressively or moderately depending on GDP
Link the states= trains or Roads
Bullish on Education at all levels
Bullish on skill sets for those not made for classroom

rest to come later , wheres me glass of orange juice no ice  

Katsina is obviously a dodgy result, how do you lose all you senatorial seat and all but 2 seats in the rep to win the Governorship, if they're challenging the result tehy'd better make sure the Judge is not a PDP judge, straight forward case

the Curfews in Kaduna and Bauchi are a smokescreen, the excel sheet are at it again

Kwara

Belgore is an upstart he started his campaign late, didnt take took much advantage of the rift within the PDP and perhaps he isnt important enough to bring the ACN heavyweights to the town with all media frenzy. Kwara should consolidate on the Bukola years, they have the man with the purse for 8 years and the godfather with some Abuja power left, their chance to grow steadily and peacefully. Kwara can do without the remote control from lagos anyway, maybe another four year

they've been caged in their house, the GEJ police promise they cant guarantee their safety if they come outside 

Katsina has been declared for Shema, even though the three senatorial seats went to the opposition and i think pdp just won about 2 reps

Kaduna, Bauchi and Katsina should be interesting,

the voting patterns so far says a lot and we need more opposition governors

so middlebelt has been thrown out of the window went it suits maga

was Jos really considered a northern state?
