shymexx: How would they be displaced since they have no where else to go and it's the responsibility of the state government to look after them? That's their home.

What I mean is that they may resist relocation.
Most of the fishing villages and slums maybe difficult to alter.

It is not easy to give up land that you believe is ancestral.

Uyi Iredia: That's not the point. The more important point is to get you to see he ain't all that excellent. We are VERY used to celebrating average leadership and I am tired of that. And why tribalize the matter ?

lol
You made him sound stewpid.
I wonder what happened to peoples' understanding of constructive criticism.

emmatok: The only solution to Lagos problem is Massive decongestion and demolition.

But people no go gree.

That may prove difficult cause many poor indigenes will be displaced

Abagworo: If there are some bad spots in an unfinished road, it does not make it sub-standard. An error which is corrected is not bad at all. It only becomes bad when you commission the project as finished and it starts wearing off. We don't have to lie because of political interest. I've seen people post pictures of half kilometer traffic light in Uyo, Lagos etc. but I've not seen anyone talk about hundreds of kilometres of functional streetlights in Owerri and Orlu today. Are those ones also "sub-standard" ?

You obviously do not live in Owerri, if not you will attest to what i'm saying.

I am also talking of refurbished roads that have broken down not just new ones, we need to demand good governance not come and sing the praises of corrupt politicians who continue to reap us off.

Do not be deceived by the painted kerbs and Christmas lights along Concorde boulevard, that was not built by Rochas, besides there are deep pot holes on that Concorde round about which appeared shortly after that road had been refurbished, same with warehouse etc.

Don't always take observations as "pull him down" statements.
It is bad for democracy.

Blind looting.

Abagworo: What exactly makes a contractor substandard? I guess if its a Nigerian contractor its substandard but Lebanese, German and Chinese contractors are standard. We need to build our own and enpower our local contractors so that in future they can attain perfection. Imo does not have the money to award Julius Bergers over-inflated contracts.

Imo does not necessarily need to have industries. I can as well claim that other Southeastern States are lagging behind in hospitality industry. However saying that there are no industries in Imo or Rochas has not done well in infrastructure is a big lie. Anyone that refutes it should post substansive picture from any other Southeastern State apart from Enugu. Meanwhile this is just 2.5years and not 6.5years or 8years of leadership found in other Southeastern States.

A substandard contractor has his road breaking down even before completion,
which is the case with most of the roads in Owerri, including the new Owerri bypass that cuts through the hotel you snapped, the road parallel to it that comes out at warehouse roundabout, Okigwe road, Govt house road through shell camp. etc.

As per industries, if you read my post notice that I said "if he wants to focus on tourism", which means there is nothing entirely wrong with that, so far he does it well, which means excellent road network, aesthetics, sanitation, etc, he is not good in any of the above so what is he doing?

yetunsbay: abeg wots ur p?kill ursef coz f sm1c govt

Quote me again when you learn basic communication.
For now you are incomprehensible.

geeez: See envy

I bet your state's budget isn't half that

Osun has a higher GDP and IGR than your state except you're from Lagos, Oyo, Ogun or Rivers

And if it's an agrarian state nko, Kansas is a an agrarian state and its GDP is almost the same with Nigeria's

You deserve to be flogged for comparing Osun to Kansas.

And you forgot that I qualified the agrarian with wretched.

kettykin: This award by thisday will only Spur Tinubu to Self Destruct knowing full well the his antecedents , power drunkenness, political ambitions



This award coming so early in 2014, will gorge Tinubu to commit high treason before 2015 and will lead to his incarceration,political estrangement,demise before Awolowo and Abiola committed high Treason , their Records showed they were at the peak of their political popularity and were considered to be almost more influential and popular than the Nation in which they found them selves before their fall from grace

You have said it all!
History has a way of repeating itself.

The psychopaths are continually engaged in praise and worship of their deity Tinubu. Nudging him closer to destruction.

Abagworo: Don't go wasting your time. There's a noticeable 7storey building at Awo-Omamma and it belongs to the brewery. Most people writing lies that there are no industries in Imo know very well that there are hundreds of industries but the aim is comparing it with Abia and Anambra. Those same people condemning the hundreds of hotels in Owerri are quick to show pictures of hotels as development in their State capital. You can also google Jacob Wines. There are tens of drug manufacturing industries in the Orlu area as well. Just google it and stop believing rumours.

If you say Rochas is trying to refurbish some roads albeit with substandard contractors, I'll agree.
However, when it comes to industries, Imo needs to step up cause they lag behind all other SE States including Ebonyi.

If Rochas wants to just focus on tourism, then he needs to reeeelly step up on the quality of roads.
And get rid of the faceless contractors.

I wonder why some folks are fond of defending the indefensible.

The budget is obviously over the roof for a wretched agrarian state.

Biodup: As we criticise our leaders, let us also praise them when ever they do something good. From the regime of sanni abacha december period was always a time of fuel scarcity. Last night i walk into the fuel station and bought fuel without stress. Gej and his minister of petroleum has broke the jinx of over 20yrs. I am sure of one thing, we are not there yet but gej meant well for this country.

I like your write up, but please work on your grammar.

Tinubu belongs in jail.

But I guess Lagos state govt enjoys sheepish servitude so they keep worshipping him.
I pity them.

OP
There is nothing secret about the hallucinations of yours that you have put on paper.

Try not to indulge too much in free wine.

Fashole should do well to return the undeserved award.

bigx: They are the same,

The British are very pretentious and "polite" and would never tell you to their face but their Body language and private discussions expose all. Americans are more outspoken which is why you hang them.

P.s remain in Nigeria and improve it, travel on business trips/holidays don't clutter people's countries for them.

Spot on!

Rochas should remember the rural roads, went for a wedding in Ikeduru and the state of the roads was terrible.

The town looked totally neglected and off grid despite being so close to Owerri.

Akure is lucky to have Igbo blood infused into their Kingdom as ruler.
Will stir them out of the doldrums to prosperity.

The Datsun go costs about 1.5million.
It is built by Nissan, the main car company that is bidding to set up a plant here in Nigeria.
The car is proving to be a success in Indonesia, Russia and India.
Pls ignore the mischievous imaginary pics by the OP.

Very sad
May her soul rest in peace.

khattab02: jose eeh!... '' do you think that was a penalty on suarez''? He said there was a bigger case on hazard....

Said Suarez reacted as if he had been shot in the back.

omar22: John Obi Mikel is a useless player, so slow was interested in kunfu than playing football

Did you see the match?

Ojoro CHELSHIT

Liverpool you can do it.
keep going.

A heart breaking equaliser is coming soon from Liverpool.

Ibadan no dey disappoint for primitivity.

Look how they are calling an aerial camera, drone and everyone is going crazy.

And look how crappy that house is.

funshint: To start with; those of U̶̲̥̅̊ over there ^^^are all EEDIOTS!!! *clears throat
But why are big trucks always loosing control anytime Oshiomhole is on motion? I sense a conspiracy to kill him...this is like the 3rd or 4th attempt on his life. God truly loves him...may the plans of the wicked ones over him continue to end in futility in IJN. Amen!!

There is no conspiracy to kill anybody.
Instead the story may have even been doctored to put the governor in good light.

The way politicians' convoy run other road users off the road with their reckless driving leaves me thinking that they may have encroached into the on coming lane where the J5 was and made it swerve off the road into a ditch.

They just employed the ever willing sahara lieporters to write them a good tale.

la furia: Pleaseeeeee, jeopardising what, tell me, did the subsidy scam jeopardize the government? Look nothing will shake this government even if it is a trillion dollars corruption.
The question now is what happened to the 12b dollars that the government agreed is missing? Please answer the missing 12b dollars na, no you won't, you want us to concentrate on why Sanusi said it was 50b dollars instead 12b dollars abi.
Alright Sanusi will pay the price for misquoting, agreed o,. Now tell me who should be held responsible for the 12b dollars that is missing?

That's the problem with you guys.

I am not saying that we should forget about the missing funds, I am simply saying that Sanusi cannot be trusted with financial figures, for all we know he may have even under quoted the figures or entirely fabricated them.

But his enthusiasm to come out with false figures must be questioned.

We are talking about Billions of dollars here.
1 makes a lot difference.

OAM4J: Ok, he erred, its only abt $12b that was not properly accounted for. Since its not 50 but only 12, I guess the amount is no longer significant and we dont need to appreciate him again. In fact he should be jailed for being a 50b alarmist instead of a mere 12b informant. Right?

Interesting!

That singular act is a great enough to have him resign his appointment, we are talking about the CBN governor quoting bogus financial figures, that was well on the way of jeopardising the executive arm of government.

I don't care who the next person is so far he has the right qualification and experience to handle the job.
