Is concord boulevard the only road in IMO state.
I suggest you show case other dimensions like culture, Christmas festivities, local food etc.
It will help diffuse tension.

The more you try to show the same picture from different angles the more you expose the inefficiency of the executive.

Stumbled across this thread and got the giggles all over again.

I read the article on BBC site and was pleasantly surprised.

It is the unbiased who see the great potentials that the country has which have come to the fore under this administration.

This piece caught my attention

" In Nigeria, Central Bank Governor Lamido Sanusi argued that corruption rarely prevents economic development - and that the growth of the economy, accompanied by improvements in education, will lead to better governance and greater transparency.
Such views are important to listen to, as an alternative to our often simplistic Western way of thinking. For many credible people in the Mint countries, corruption is a consequence of their weak past, not a cause of a weak future, and certainly not the number one challenge. It falls way down a list compared with the costs of energy and the breadth of its availability and, of course, infrastructure".

And this

look forward to going back to each of them more regularly now I am helping to put them on the map, just as happened with the Bric countries 12 years ago.

This is 2014 and some human beings are still worshipping Obasonjo.

The most corrupt president ever.

Anyway people worshipped Idi Amin.

Some people even worship urine others faeces.

superstar1: Afam,

you have forgotten that it was the same Nigerians from every nook and cranny of this country that voted for GEJ on the premise of change and promise of a new beginning and departure from the old faces in the last general election. What happened between now and then, that the people that were enthusiastic about his presidency are suddenly holding him in either disdain or apathy? he simply betrayed people's trust and dashed their hopes.

No matter how powerful a cabal is, they need the people. If GEJ has been performing, he will still have the people and once you have the people, you don't need to worry yourself too much about what any cabal says. In a situation where the cabals are now the ones in tandem with the thoughts of the people, where do you expect people's loyalty to shift to? He had a golden chance to ride on the sentiment of his goodluck, to perform and forever have the loyalty of the people. If this was in place, 1million tinubus or objs or ibbs or kwankwanso can't stop him.

Alas, what are we seeing. Tsunami-causing monumental fraud breaking news; earthquake-causing corruption news and landslide-causing daylight robberies, that surpasses what the cabal we are even castigating ever did, are the order of the day. There is no major achievement that our dear president can point out to and say, this was my idea, i conceived it, initiated it and i have delivered it. What we keep seeing and hearing are economy indices on paper that does not translate to anything in naira and kobo for U and I.

Cabal or no cabal, he too is aiding the cabal to roast him. Sincerely, he lacks the political acumen, wealth of experience and superior intelligence to take on both the real and imaginary cabal and the worst part of it, he is losing the people on a daily basis and picking up some fights that are rubbishing him in the eyes of the public.

NB: Mr GEJ cannot take the full credit for revamping of NRC and privatisation of PHCN. These projects have been on for a while. Yes they were finally completed under him. He takes the credit for the completion, definitely not for the conception and execution mid-way. Let us see his own idea that he started and completed.

Gently erase your first sentence.
Which makes your write up a baseless scribble.

Your memory seems to have failed you so soon, when key factions of the nation threatened to make the country ungovernable should GEJ become president.

While others decided to sit tight at home since they had no serious candidate.

Now you wake and say that masses from all nook and cranny supported him and all of a sudden thunder struck and bla..bla.. bla..

From day one of GEJ's first tenure, he has been hunted like wild game and people like you have been brain washed not to see beyond their noses and know that they are being used by the same cabal.

That is what Afam is trying to make you see.

spyder880: The dusty nature of this picture seems to suggest this was taken a while back? Because Ebeano tunnel has a new repair and its very smooth as at yesterday when I passed it.

Indeed it was taken sometime ago, when the road was being reconstructed, notice oncoming vehicles on the dual carriage which shows the other lane was closed.
I couldn't upload the more recent pics, have to resize them.

Theben: The next power house would called GAY. Ghana, Afghanestan and Yemen. God will help them

BRIC,MINT, GAY

ebeano tunnel crossing

mad nigerian: GEJ and Chime is NOT a good combination.

It would lose Jona votes of the North and the South West, as well as large segments of the Middle Belt.

Please....let us stop this tribalistic nonsense. Jona has lost a lot of friends. If he wants to win the elections, he betta get friends in the North and SouthWest...urgently.

The OP is a Yorobar bigot.
Go and read the first page then you will understand her purpose.

We Yorobars are intelligent, we are the only tribes that go to school.

We are all graduates, we just don't like enrolling in JAMB or WAEC, and we prefer to live under rusted roofs because we are very humble and respect our parents so we will never pull down the roofs they spent their lifetime building.

Instead it is better to throw owambe party for them.

KIRIJI: yoruba people are evil. Their heart is black just like the black amala they use to eat

You could not have put it better.

I think you are more of a masochist.
You suck at sarcasm.

That Rotimi Amechi picture is soooo funny.

huptin: Nice one. I totally support this man. I am yoruba and I clearly see reluctance on the part of many yoruba people to follow tinubu to APC. The question is why so soon after Abiola`s betrayal would some one else want to lead us back into hausa slavery?
Apc could be making a big mistake if they take south west votes for granted come 2015. Even if we dont like Jonathan we dont believe the north is a better alternative either. The snc is the last remaining hope for us. We pray it ends well

Thank goodness there are still people like you left in your clan.

APC has no ideology, it is built mainly on Islamic religious roots.
What Ezeife has pointed out is that APC is driving the radicalization of the Yoruba tribe a very dangerous route for the country.
Look what happened to the Islamic brotherhood in Egypt a predominantly Muslim country.

We don't need such in Nigeria a country that is considered secular.

Besides it baffles me that the SW will rather embrace those that have enslaved them.

ilugunboy:

I totally agree....the Northerners are all Boko Haram and gworo chewing abokis.

Beside...we should stick to merit. Let's do away and break the hegemony of the Northerners once and for all...let's do away with the born to rule mentality.

We fully understand your worry here.

That northern votes will go to Jonathan because of Sambo.

Unfortunately for you that is true.

Since he is already sure of Igbo votes, we don't need him to make Chime his vice.

On the other hand you have run to the north through APC for cover, apparently the SW enjoys being used and molested by their northern masters (it perplexes me how someone will enjoy being repeatedly raaped),
who are steadily boko haramising Osun and Oyo.

They will use you as usual (Awo, Abiola etc), imprison you then drive you to commit suicide.

@joeluv
That's great news!

How accessible is Atakwu from Enugu?

ilugunboy: You sure don't know the level of discontent with PDP in the SW except what you read ......

GEJ sitting down and smiling while Arthur Eze was ridiculing Awo is enough to kill of his dream completely in the SW....when the time comes...even Obanikoro will be helpless to win his Polling booth for PDP.

APC in SW surely is in possession of that hate speech....and will use it appropriately when the time comes.

The way SW is apparently embracing APC baffles me.
Are you not tired of being slaves to the north?

Looks like you enjoy servitude.

Anyone can wake up and give any dolt a big name, it means nothing.

Impressive pictures.
Who says PDP is not working.

Got into Enugu and was shocked at the number of super luxury cars I saw, i'm talking rolls Royce phantoms, Bentley continental, Porsche panamera etc.
I even saw a caterham.
I'm a car enthusiast and I was surprised at the frequency.

What is happening?

Potatoes will potate.

[quote author=adeola_drg]So its just a public health thing. How does this solve our health problems? The dilapidated hospitals, dead primary care system, brain drain on the doctor side?? E fi ete sile, e lo npa lakpalapka, smh.[/quote]What a crass display of ignorance.

"Just a public health thing"

And in the next sentence you ask "how does this solve our health problems?"

Do you totally lack the common sense to reconcile the two?

The title of Surgeon General refers to a
physician commissioned by the government and
entrusted with public health responsibilities. The post
originated in the 17th century, as military units brought
their own doctors. Thus, in the United States, the chief
public health officer is the Surgeon General of the United
States and each state has its own State Surgeon General.

Ichidodo pls stop bullying agbementa.

geeez: Even in escalators leading to the London Underground trains kids play on escalators

It's never unusual for kids up to age 11 and sometimes beyond

I'm sure people raising the roof here haven't stepped on escalators before because if the have, they must have come across a kid or two hopping on an escalator

It may not be far fetched to assume some of those kids have their roots in Ibadan.

A casual frolic on the escalator by a kid or two in the mall should not be equated to hundreds of wide eyed kids fighting to behold a world wonder.
I wonder which London you are talking about.
No sane parent will allow his kid to go playing in the tube with hundreds of strangers rushing by.

Looooooooool!
This got me tearing when I read it.

Why is Ibadan so very primitive that they have to take turns marvelling at the escalator.
I even saw adults in the fight to get in.

Most modern malls have a play pen for kids, or is the escalator doubling as one.

Ibadan seems to always lose out on these things.

heykims: I watch Chelsea's game regularly nd I see Mikel occupy his regular spot at d kick off in most of the matches, in d tent close to d pitch line marking. Honestly chief, u will just be disturbing ursef refuting d fact dt Mikel is not a bench warmer in Chelsea, all sincerely minded Nigerians know he is.

You need to change your black and white tv, so that you will be able to differentiate players, and see an opthalmologist to get your eyes checked before it is too late.

spyder880: I will soon take my camera around town again, showing the good and the bad. Enugu rocks anyday, I love my state.

We can't wait.
Already looking forward to your nice pictures.

Let's all be frank, is that "wizard of Oz" project what Abeokuta needs?

And to think some people are already dancing and rejoicing is what makes me wonder if the subjects in Ogun have a brain.

I implore them to rise up and stop this fantasy before it turns into a looting reality.

qhiwegh: Igboland (including Onitsha, Enugu) for Igbos.
Hausaland (including Kano) for Hausas.
Bornu State for Kanuris.
Edo State for Binis.
Bayelsa (and its oil) for Ijaws.

BUT WHY IS YORUBALAND (INCLUDING LAGOS, THE CAPITAL CITY OF YORUBALAND) FOR EVERYBODY?

If Lagos only needed to take care of its Yoruba indigenes, it would be able to become a world-class city within one term of governorship. When all the people from Nigeria and even foreigners like Chadians and Nigeriens flood into our once beautiful city without any regard for its laws or order or sanitation, there's nothing a government of human beings could do to make the place liveable.

I'm not trying to hate, but simply telling it like it is. Develop your own cities. I couldn't be happier if the South East could boast a city that rivals Lagos in economic prowess.

You are very ignorant,
Your once "beautiful" city that has been the country's capital for years without which it would have just been another slum.

In any case what all mega cities have in common is diversity.

If you want an all Lagos Yorobar, no need to look too far, just down the road is a slum named Ibadan and not far off is oshogbo, that is your all Yorobar Lagos.

The Minister of Health, Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu, Tuesday
declared that the nation's health sector had witnessed
unprecedented improvement under President Goodluck
Jonathan's administration, insisting that some Nigerians
who still travel abroad for medical attention may well be
doing that for the fun of it.
This is coming even as the minister disclosed that the
federal government was making efforts to get more
hospitals from across the six zones of the country to
resume open heart surgeries in order to reduce the
pressures facing the University of Nigeria Teaching
Hospital (UNTH) and the University College Hospital,
Ibadan that are both carrying out the exercise at present.
Speaking when he paid a condolence visit to the family of
the late former Minister of State for Health, Dr. silas Ilo, at
their family house in Enugu, Chukwu noted that it would be
difficult to stop anybody from travelling abroad for medical
attention.
"You can't stop anybody from travelling out. Even a sick
person is entitled to medical tourism. In this case, the
former minister did not go for medical attention.
He did not die in a hospital but he merely went for a visit
with his wife and suddenly died. It was a sudden death;
nobody expected it; the wife didn't expect it, even the late
Ilo didn't expect. You can die anywhere even in the moon,"
he said.
While commiserating with the family over the painful loss,
the minister pledged the readiness of the ministry to always
assist the family of the deceased in order to reciprocate the
late ex-minister's contributions to the development of the
health sector in particular and the nation at large.
The minister who also used the opportunity to commend
the authority of the UNTH for successfully carrying out over
40 open heart surgeries since the resumption of the
programme earlier in the year, expressed hope that more of
such operations would be done at the hospital.
He said the ministry was currently making efforts to get
more hospitals to do the high-end surgical procedure
which is one of the main reasons for the establishment of
teaching hospitals in the country.
He however thanked some Nigerian in the Diaspora for
initiating the action that culminated in the resumption of
Open Heart Surgery in UNTH.
"This is part of the transformation agenda of President
Goodluck Jonathan who has been monitoring what has
been happening at our hospitals. He's pleased with what
we are doing in the health sector, though a little more
needs to be done. There's no doubt that this is one of the
best administrations in this country," he said.
Earlier, one of the children of the deceased former minister
had thanked Chukwu for remembering them at the moment
of grief, expressing appreciation that the minister had kept
in touch with the family since the demise of their father.
