There is a potential of this bill being passed behind back doors.

It is incredible boko haram could survive this long.

Around €1billion, what's the catch? Europeans don't like Africans enough to just handout freebies
This news is definitely missing a large chunk of information.

Shouldn't there be an electronic copy of the said documents? Only in Nigeria.

This won't end well.

This is probably not fulani herdsmen. It seems so convenient to blame them for every crime in Nigeria these days.

Africa is a backward continent. Easily brainwashed and manipulated. Simplified humans

Oh my gosh. Another dream snatched away. Put life into perspective. Damn.
I am not sure whether Rip is appropriate but I hope it wasn't a long painful death.

I sincerely hope this bridges are being built out of necessity and not for show off. Overhead bridges tends to be the last resort in the developed world.
Anyways, the render looks good.

God bless Nigeria
God bless PMB
God bless us all (Amen)

What is with the God bless b.s?

This deal was driven by rising wages in China, and the need to reduce their exposure to increasingly protectionist western markets as the Chinese transition to high value manufacturing, and automation erodes their cost advantage. Anyways, once the haircuts ( ) are taken, it would be interesting to know how much of the said $6 billion actually goes into the required work and how much ends up in the BVI.
In any case, it is in Chinese interests to get a firm foothold in Nigeria's emerging market before it gets too crowded.

The unbalance of trade problem is definitely real with this deal.

More than one year and the budget is yet to get full clearance? What a government and country. The system needs to be simplified by decentralizing the government. Only United Kingdom with different tribes has managed to make this type of centralized system work.

SirShymexx:
Looooooooooool. Apples and oranges.

Not against whatever you're preaching, but apart from the fact that there is no correlation whatsoever between IRA which was a Gaelic/Catholic nationalism group, fighting for Independence and Fulani marauders...Scots didn't join the English to fight IRA. Only Scots in the British military, especially British Army and a few who joined the loyal paramilitary group, who are mostly Protestants. However, a lot of Scots fought for IRA.

Scots and Irish folks are mostly the same people and from the same ethnic group...Gaelic/Celts. They're also both mostly Catholics. And IRA thing was more of a Catholic vs Protestant thing, with Irish nationalism as the nucleus, cos most Irish are Catholics.

Anyway, I don't know why everyone has to form a big union to tackle Fulani problems. You lot give these people too much credit, hence they think they're invincible. Yorubas alone can take on Fulani and take over their Emirate in whatever desert their rag-headed chief emir is hiding.

In the context apples and orange? http://www.history.co.uk/shows/soldiers-stories/articles/northern-ireland-conflict.
Just like between IGBOs and Yorubas there have always been a deep seated hatred among both tribes. In fact, there were some Scottish nationalists who sought to collaborate with the Nazis against the British government during the Second World War, quite a few were interned. These include Arthur Donaldson, who went on to become leader of the SNP from 1960 to 1969. Yet, during the IRA saga it's on records SNPs along with Scottish soldiers were instrumental in defeating the IRAs. Mind you some Scottish now regret it.
One of my advisor was a Scottish Unionist, his brother was murdered by the IRA.

Oh, I do agree the SW is capable of defeating the northerners alone. Put it this way everything is in our favour in terms of geographical location (hills, access to sea etc), wealth and many more.

You are the unfulfilled lowlife! How many moniker have I called PPAngel? Just this one, and guess what, I was spot on, you are and you know it. Check your PPAngel posts, they gave you away as an uninspired, emotional wreck of an accident waiting to happen. Yes, your amnesia that only relapses when the shoe is on the other foot.

lol. Sure had a good laugh from this post. Just because you are not blessed with intelligence doesn't warrant this much frustration. PPAngel indeed lol wff.

Wyttcat:
PPAngel, welcome. Now that your amnesia has relapsed, let's see what you got.

Listen, I am in no mood for pissing contest this morning. Your comments gave you away as nothing but a lowlife.
Amnesia? Be creative in your attacks and stop assuming everyone is PPAngel just because they disagreed with your sh!t. The taunting was funny the first time, it isn't now.

One thing is for sure, the Yorubas on this board are just as shortsighted and stvpid as their eastern counterparts. Complaining about mocking and then proceeding to do the same when the common enemy are the northerners. You can't make this up.
Fulanis must be rubbing their hands in delight.
Even the Scottish and the English had to temporarily put their differences aside to fight IRA.
Anybody that kills my tribe is a bigger enemy in my book. How many Yorubas have been killed because for xenophobia compares to Northerners?
Yet Yorubas loves the northernersso much. Have fun y'all

GodMode:
Yorubas completed cocoa house in 1972. The entire southern Nigeria was booming. Until when some greedy southerners decided to start a civil war so that a minority tribe (ijaws) won't be richer than them.

Do u know what the yoruba would have done with oil money if delta state wasn't removed SW geopolitical zone?

Who removed delta from SW?

Wgo removed delta from SW?

This is why Nigeria can never progress. The northerner's self entitlement is nauseating. Bunch of thieves and parasites who contribute nothing but wants the biggest pie. I find it curious they cared more about harmless biafra than Fulani herdsmen.

NICENEDU29:
My sister thank u so much. Ur comment is de best so far. Ignore what people ar saying about dis situation. I believe what happened is natural. Nature is nature & it is only science dat can prove it. I hav witnessed occasions where thunder & lightning destroyed mighty trees & buildings. In fact it has happened to me personally. Dat was sometime in 2005 when I was in Aba, Abia State. Dat day it was raining heavily & I was in de kitchen cookng. Suddenly lightning struck, followed by a heavy thunder. At dat moment I was holding de pot cover with my wet hand. Wen de lightning & thunder struck, it shocked me so severely like electricity, threw me off 4rm de spot I was & landed me on de floor. Our TV & fans were destroyed.

Sorry to hear that. This is preventable though. I would suggest you ensure every electrical connections and wirings are strongly bonded and earthed to divert any strike.

This is most likely not the work of the devil, but earthing issues. How about we start by investigating the earthing of the building?
Was the festival held outside? Proximity to sea? Earth potential rise of the area? Scientific approach is the only thing that can produce answers.

naptu2:
There are pedestrian crossings on smaller roads and pedestrian bridges on expressways (Ikorodu Road is a 10 lane expressway). Read what's below.

Fair enough. Sounds reasonable.

flyca:
I disagree.
In overhead bridges you climb up and then climb down.
In underground passes, you first climb down then climb up.
The same energy. Biko we need escalator-enabled bridges whether underground or overhead!

How is ground crossings similar to underground crossings? You don't need mechanical driven pedestrian bridges in those lagos pictures I saw.

Honestly, yorubas are blessed. I will urge a lot of Yorubas to read up on their history because it seems many have lost their ways. The rich history is what everyone back home must hold onto. It will be a welcome development to have a rethink about the progress of SW. I was surprised when I read SW had better human development in the 70s.

Why can't they implement toucan road crossings? More effective than pedestrian bridges. Pedestrian bridges are mostly used for highways in most countries.

flyca:
Pls they should build escalator enabled bridges. Sometimes, after work, no energy to climb up and down. Onipanu bridge is especially tasking

This, in addition to aesthetics are the reason why ground road crossings are better. Instead of prosecuting the pedestrians, drivers should be forced to obey the road crossings signs.

Sahara reporters has got no chill. I love how they are exposing the senators numbers.

This is fast getting out of hand

The question is what took them this long? Obviously, the heat was too much so they had to do something. The slow response of Nigerian police to crimes is really appalling.

lyterydim:
Am not surprised, a country where doctrine degrees is bag by every entity .....congratulation sanusi uve joined the group of "Dr" [color=#990000][/color]

An emir? It is called honorary for a reason.

Kingspin:
Yet people are suffering more.

In the context of per ca-pita, there is nothing to celebrate in those figures inc. LAGOS. Nigeria should be doing better.

Regional Analysis breakdown.

Since Ebonyi has no 2015 figures, Her 2014 figures of IGR (11,032,472,512) are used in this calculation..

South West Total = 339,953,417,927
Lagos Alone = 268,224,782,435

South South Total = 179,096,237,974

South East Total = 62,726,688,189
_______________________________________

North West Total = 48,579,503,540

North Central Total = 38,781,494,308

North East Total = 26,117,872,322

The northern region is an economic swamp. No matter how much you invest they will still be behind.

Ikengawo:
this isn't development. If the chinese come to sokoto and grow tomatoes or sell machinery, while in that same state women are giving birth at 14 and 15 then nothing happened. None of the northerners are sharp enough to develop a culture. What they have is the rotten vestiges of 1335

Key point about their culture and believes being detrimental to their growth. However, I fail to see how this isn't a development? Seems like a job well done to me.
