As an addendum, this was attributed to MKO ABIOLA:
"Moshood Abiola sprang to national and international prominence as a result of his philanthropic activities. The Congressional Black Caucus of the United States of America issued the following tribute to Moshood Abiola:[6]
Because of this man, there is both cause for hope and certainty that the agony and protests of those who suffer injustice shall give way to peace and human dignity. The children of the world shall know the great work of this extraordinary leader and his fervenmission to right wrong, to do justice, and to serve mankind. The enemies which imperil the future of generations to come: poverty, ignorance, disease, hunger, and racism have each seen effects of the valiant work of Chief Abiola. Through him and others like him, never again will freedom rest in the domain of the few. We, the members of the Congressional Black Caucus salute him this day as a hero in the global pursuit to preserve the history and the legacy of the African diaspora.
From 1972 until his death Moshood Abiola had been conferred with 197 traditional titles by 68 different communities in Nigeria, in response to the fact that his financial assistance resulted in the construction of 63 secondary schools, 121 mosques and churches, 41 libraries, 21 water projects in 24 states of Nigeria, and was grand patron to 149 societies or associations in Nigeria. In this way Abiola reached out and won admiration across the multifarious ethnic and religious divides in Nigeria. In addition to his work in Nigeria, Moshood Abiola was a dedicated supporter of the Southern African Liberation movements from the 1970s and he sponsored the campaign to win reparations for slavery and colonialism in Africa and the diaspora. Chief Abiola, personally rallied every African head of state, and every head of state in the black diaspora to ensure that Africans would speak with one voice on the issues.
Moshood Abiola was twice voted international businessman of the year[citation needed], and received numerous honorary doctorates from universities all over the world. In 1987 he was bestowed with the golden key to the city of Washington D.C., and he was bestowed with awards from the NAACP and the King center in the USA, as well as the International Committee on Education for Teaching in Paris, amongst many others. In Nigeria, the Oloye Abiola was made the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland. It is the highest chieftaincy title available to commoners amongst the Yoruba, and has only been conferred by the tribe 14 times in its history. This in effect rendered Abiola the ceremonial War Viceroy of all of his tribes people. According to the folklore of the tribe as recounted by the Yoruba elders, the Aare Ona Kakanfo is expected to die a warrior in the defense of his nation in order to prove himself in the eyes of both the divine and the mortal as having been worthy of his title"
THE QUESTION WE SHOULD ASK IS THIS, AMONG THE IGBO PEOPLE, WHO AMONG THEM HAS GARNERED ENOUGH RECORD TO BEAT THIS MAN?

Pls, abeg,
Remove Abiole from your list pls.
Even your fellow kinsman Fela told everyone how the 'ITT' made his money.
(Because of Seun now i cant write this in full).

emmatok: But the tread is about peeps from Ogun state.

Why not open a about Anambra.

But your brain forgot to tell you that when one uses a comparative word like the OP in this case BEST, he has automatically involed all and sundry.

Eko oni ogbanje!
Fashola is working!

ZUBY77: That place is expensive. I was asked to pay 50million for a duplex.

I have never owned that kind of money my whole life

Pls run away as fast as possible, from those fraudsters cause u cant even get an empty plot for that amount, not to talk of a duplex.

musKeeto: You mean pressing iron?

For your mind you dey funny.

ARES: Yeah right after saying that, he equally said fuel was 40 bucks a litre.
I think he equally told us that boko boys are on break.









































































Mr UN,Stop feeding us crap abeg. Collect the contract they want to give u and piss off

It is crap because it is positive.
I would very much love to call u a decerebrate azzwipe but today is sunday.
Do u think a site like nairaland would be free to operate under Abacha's regime?
Nigeria has one of the freest press that is a fact.

Who gave this 82 year old man this kind of initiative?
Is it his grand son?

dolphinife: @kettyking, I can see how disillusioned and naïve u are. Am mentioning a single state, yet u are combining the whole of ur impoverished igbo tribe. Did I mention yorubaland or yoruba people to u?. I still maintain it here, there is no single state in nigeria dat has produced as much as ogun state.
Every accomplished people in igboland cannot even measure up to the totality of ogun people

My small LGA can boast of better.
Please stop wanking in public.

slap1: Owerri is the Ngwori Capital of the South-East, quote me! Hospitality is a booming business there. Nearly every street has two or three 'standard' fast food shops or 'joints'. In case you don't have car, you are sure to get a 'keke' that will take you home even around 1:am.
If na lie, ask Uche Ogbuagu.

That is the problem i have with most Owerri inhabitants.
They have a very skewed meaning of what LEISURE means, for them it is all about isi ewu, ugba na okporoko with star and maybe weed.
Thus the proliferation of substandard, sham street corner 'joints'.
Can i take my family to those places to hang out on weekends.
Will i even feel safe to drive in those dark streets?
Is there any single amusement park, mall or cinema in Owerri?
Night life and leisure means more than point and kill fish.
Please Owerri is just a small town a little above crappy.
Op if u have a small income stick to a small street corner joint in Owerri cause that is their way of life(quite different from leisure and nightlife), if u have more money go to Enugu and start sth classier, u'll enjoy the city.

Took a ride to York for some sightseeing and i literally had a culture shock cause i spent half a day touring that town and i didnt see a single black face.
Not even one, except for my reflection on the mirror.
I felt awkard cause everyone was irritatingly polite.

Does Fashola have mumps in that picture?

I was expecting an ostrich not a pidgeon

Britney Spears is still relevant!? At this
point, I’ve come to think of her as a strange
memory of my youth, and a time when
every major pop singer was a teenager
singing about their sexuality while publicly
proclaiming to be virgins (think about how
this was truly an odd period). However, the
world’s top Britney Spears imitator, Michaela
Weeks, earns $450,000. She charges $5,400
for a single appearance. Can she sing?
According to The Daily Mail… maybe?
Michaela said: ‘I tried a bit of modelling
after that but every time I tried to do
something different people kept coming
back to the Britney thing.
‘In the end the pull was so strong I
packed in my waitressing job and
decided to give it a go full-time and I
haven’t looked back since.’
From there, work as a Britney lookalike
started flooding in and Michaela began
putting together a tribute act with the
help of a vocal coach and
choreographer.
Do you think this would be awesome? I read
these stories and think that it would probably
be some kind of lucky stroke of fate to be
born looking exactly like a much more
famous person. And then I think “no,
because her life will be forever limited to
looking exactly like Britney Spears. What if
she wanted to be a neuroscientist? She would
have to be a neuroscientist in a red leather
catsuit. That would be so difficult to do
neuroscience in.”
Or I guess she could dye her hair.
I suppose whether or not anyone has the
opportunity to take advantage of their looks
(models, for instance) always seems like a
weird stroke of luck, this incidence just
stands out a bit more.
Though, hell, for $5,000 an appearance I’d
pretend to be Britney Spears, and I look
absolutely nothing like her.

PEOPLE of Enugu State, on Thursday, went
through a familiar anxiety over the
whereabouts of their governor, Sullivan
Chime, amidst a wild rumour that he was
dead.
Rumours on the governor’s unknown
whereabouts was first to hit the waves as
early as mid-day on Thursday, while, some
few hours later, it was rumoured again that
Chime had passed on, while condolence
messages were being shared on the Facebook
by supposed pained sympathisers.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor,
Chief Chukwudi Achife, however, dismissed
the rumour, maintaining that Chime was hale
and hearty.
Achife, in a short telephone interview, said
“And you think that is true? You believe
them? It is not true.”
A source told the Nigerian Tribune that
Chime travelled to Abuja for an official
engagement, adding that his rumoured death
might have been orchestrated by his political
opponents.
At the Government House, Enugu, on
Thursday, it was gathered that normal
activities of the government were ongoing
without disruption

Getting closer to my 3-1 prediction in Bayern's favour.

Bayern pass Barcelona by far
I predict 3-1 in favour of Bayern.

donez: Only doctors should head hospitals, just lyk saying politics should only be played by graduates of political science dats a piece of crap!! Anybodi in d medical field should be eligible to head a hospital

Hospitals have a management board which maybe headed by anyone.
However, the Chief medical director (which is what the other health workers are demanding for) can and should only be held by a doctor as the name MEDICAL DIRECTOR implies.

The doctor is the head of the medical team.
Running a hospital requires a background knowledge of the workings of that hospital which is best known by the doctor because all the processes involved in patient management including requesting for medical investigations, drug prescription, patient monitoring emanate from the doctor.
The patient belongs to the doctor and he has the best knowledge of ALL the challenges in patient mgt from lack of power to run a life support machine to lack of petrol to run an ambulance (no matter how far off these may seem from actual medicine practice).
The doctor is ultimately held responsible for the well being of a patient, no other person carries a greater burden of responsibility.
ONLY A DOCTOR SHOULD HEAD A HOSPITAL LESS IT CEASES TO BE REFERRED TO AS ONE.

Why not fly the victim to UK to manage him for post traumatic stress.
Only 200k.
Mschew.

naptu2: The yacht has not carried out hotel business since 2009. Its license was revoked and the government was about to tow it out of Lagos in 2011 before the court order came. Which tax are you talking about? Which registration are you talking about?

By the way, the yacht was never on the Lagos Lagoon (it's too big to sail beneath the bridges), it was at Customs Quays.

And then it disappears one day and the state govt knows nothing about it.

And to think this cluless commissioner was appointed by and speaks on behalf of the "infalliable" Fashole is sickening.

eko ilee: And this means the boat is not a private property and the owners can not do what they want with their property?

I still need you to tell me who is in monitors Nigeria's territorial waters and who fights contraband and drugs.

No
It means that it pays its tax to Lagos state govt, and cannot berth in Lagos Lagoon without the knowledge an approval of the Lagos state govt an the relevant national parastatals.
Remember this is a hotel not a cargo ship.
Therefore it is utter failure for the Lagos state govt to say that a ship registered under it's agency as a hotel has disappeared without any trace and they know NOTHING about it.

eko ilee: Still, what's this got to do with you since this is clearly a private property?

And if the owners are into contraband, then its up to the people in charge of our territorial waters and drug enforcement to lose sleep over it.

It is a yatch hotel registered under Lagos state tourism board.

naptu2: Who is in charge of monitoring for illegal arms, contraband, etc?

A yatch hotel that is registered under the Lagos state tourism board and has been paying its taxes to that state govt just disappears into thin air, only for the commissioner for tourism to say he cannot categorically tell us when or where the hotel disappeared to?
This cannot happen anywhere else for very simple reasons, one of the most obvious is that the yatch hotel must be certified to have paid all its taxes before it is allowed to sail away.

naptu
Your long epistle simply states that hotels in Lagos are unjustly overtaxed by the Lagos state government.
The first stament in your epistle clearly states "at the federal tier of govt.... the Nigerian Tourism Development commission is in charge.
Lagos was the capital of the country, but no more so i dont get ur point.

naptu2: You still haven't answered my questions.

Now, if what you meant to ask is who issues hotels licenses to operate, then the. Answer is the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC). However, state and local governments also issue permits.

I have already stated on this thread that the Lagos State Government issued permits to the investors and that when ann argument arose amongst the investors, the Lagos State Government revoked the permits and wanted to tow the vessel out of Lagos. However, the investors got a court order which restrained the Lagos State Government from towing it out of Lagos.

Your answer is wrong.
It is the Lagos state tourism board.
Another question
Who is responsible for the taxing of the hotels in Lagos state?

naptu2: A few questions:

1) Is the Lagos State Government in charge of the Nigerian Customs Service?

2) Is the Lagos State Government in charge of the Nigerian Navy?

3) Is the Lagos State Government in charge of NIMASA?

4) Is the Lagos State Government in charge of NAFDAC, NDLEA and other such agencies?

5) How are you even sure that the vessel has left Nigerian waters?

Question

Who gives the go ahead for Hotel construction in Lagos state?
