MT: When you say public space, please can you point me to where that is?. Do I have to be a builder before I can demand to know how much was expended on the flyover built for the public ?. I listened to Ajimobi's manifesto and I knew what he promised which made me to cast my vote for him and I know what is happening now. Was it not this same Ajimobi that went to erect tents and organised party to open the so called "restoration bridge" along bodija axis?. Our sensibilities have been insulted enough.

So in this day and age, you still find it difficult to search for information ?

Even "google" can give you idea of what you are looking for.

Let me teach you as i taught my 6 year old niece to use google, type in "cost of mokola fly over bridge ibadan"

Was it not this same Ajimobi that went to erect tents and organised party to open the so called "restoration bridge" along bodija axis?

Your complaint quoted above do not sound intelligent, it sound like someone very bitter about a loss.

A bridge was commissioned and you sound this "angry"

was it the commissioning program that annoyed you ? You have to brace up, i have a feeling there would be more of such commissioning.

[quote author=player_007]Personaly.......i see no reason why that Bridge should be there because now the roads besides the bridge are now conpacted.
I passed there some weeks ago and i wasn't impressed.

Now our famous Roundaboutless roundabout is gone!![/quote]Change is constant, embrace it. Your famous Roundaboutless roundabout must go for the bridge. Development means positive change.

You mean the road besides the brigde are compacted, if i get you correctly? Are you sure you are making sense to yourself?

MT: In a saner environment, we would be asking how much has been expended on that flyover. Sometimes, people forget these governors are just administrators of our commonwealth. If we want to rate his performance, we should judge against what he promised in his manifesto, and not start singing praises due to the construction of a flyover!!!

The cost is in public space, so what is your point? Are you a quantity surveyor or builder ?,

Yes, development like this is part of what he promised in his "manifesto". LOBATAN !

You people preach and form sincerity, but it is all hogwash

omonnakoda: wetin this guy dey point

, The Guy is pointing at the massive projects na !

The projects are so massive and going near it is risky, it is better to point at it.

This is so so disgusting for the most popular city in Abia state!

KnowAll: [size=14pt]You must give it to the Ibadan's they are the most democratic animals in Nigeria, even the illetrate "eleran" (meat seller) knows his political onions. Anytime I am around Ibadan, I see die hard illetrate PDP Stalwarts telling me that the " Governor is a one term Governor" so don't bet on it that Ajimobi is coming back. Not with the allegation his wife was caught with thousands of pounds by British Authorities for money laundering.[/size]

If he is not voted back,will heaven fall? He has a 4 year mandate at the moment, he has spent 1year and 10 months from that, everything should not be politics, governance is paramount.

BTW, i am not God ooo, but when i look at my own crystal ball, he will be voted back, (1)all those "meat sellers" you met never voted for him in 2011 in the first place,
(2) he has power of incumbency now, controlling the LG structures (

3)the opposition is also polarised strongly along accord party and PDP

(4) The fruit of his works will also mature more by the end of this year and early next year.

(5) The undecided and individuals with no party affiliation like us will vote for him, and you will be surprised the undecided electorates are in the majority.

All those "Adedibu" political clientelesm days are over, jinx are meant to be broken, it would be broken in 2015 in Oyo state, the same thing was said in Ondo state, did Mimiko not break the jinx of one term governor?

Ola one: And, what/whose goon are you, ode?
You don't even know whether the guy's ACN or not. You want us all to be pro-ACN - no matter what. Get a life!


Just like the rabid Eko Ile who started this thread with pics that are at least 3 months old, you are sick, Emiye!

I am no member of any party, but i will defend truth when i see one, the ACN governors have done much better in 1year and 10 months (Ogun and Oyo).

Tht anonimi guy is one PDP fooool i know on this forum, although you have also joined tonight.

is he not the one always writing PDP=ACN=CPC=......, thinking he is making sense ?

If i as your uncle tell you all women are the same, just marry any one,am i making sense?

All parties are not the same, so far so good the ACN governors have done much better,if things change i will also spell it out.

anonimi: To civil engineers in the house:

How long does it take "massive projects" like road dualisation and overhead bridge construction from inception to completion?
2 years or more

Another PDP goon, what irrelevnt question are you asking? It is so difficult and shameful for you goons to believe ACN governors are delivering such massive projects in 1year+

Ola one: Try to be sensible for once.

Even a blind bat finds nuts occasionally. Locate your magnetic compass, wan.ker!

The bitter truth hurts you, i will leave you to continue crying, bye for now

Ola one: Ajimobi is just an idi.ot!


You need to tell me why Fijabi's building at Dugbe is still standing when others around it have been demolished.

I also want to know why he hasn't demolished structures at Sabo/Jemibewon Road.

Yet, he has destroyed properties owned by indigenous people.

Oh !, It is no more about the bridge, it is something else now

I want to assume you are one of those who have lost out from the PDP "share the money" reign in Oyo state.

The Ajimobi you call an idi, ot in 1 year and 10 months is positively changing the status of Oyo state, something not experienced during the PDP reign.

Ola one: Because his government said this? It's called spinning.



I want to know more about Pro Deal. We need to know his relationship with this company.

I have seen the two bridges personally, the one in Abeokuta and Ibadan, such amount of difference is evident to the eyes, so what are you crying about?

Ola one: I want to know more about Pro Deal.

I dont get what you mean?

you want to know what more?, infact the news report link, you hurriedly provided has the information on the two bridges in Ogun state and Oyo state constructed by the same firm (the lengths ).

I guess your real problem is you are mentally lazy to read it, your analytical mind is dead.

You are carried away more with emotions, and beer parlour rumour and gist does it for you.

Ola one: At about 3 billion, Ajimobi is hiding something. Amosun spent 2 billion and his was even longer.

Also, a one-span bridge at Secretariat gulped 485 million

We are watching him. And, we are getting ready for him.

You are a liar, Ogun state is over 400 metres, while that of Oyo state is over 600 metres. you will do well to keep quiet.

@ OP, you have done well,but that pix should be like a month old, work has progessed farther than that. I hope to post a recent pix.

@ OP, Mathematics is the most important subject, and i opined it is the easiest subject, if only you understand the basic laws and decide to follow it. You will need it for job aptitude tests.

Evidently your foundation in maths is faulty, i will recommend you swallow your pride, (1) start by mastering your times table like a primary school student so well and should be able to give the answers at the snap of your fingers. If i should ask you 9 * 7 and you have to wait for 5 seconds to give the answer, something is wrong.

I have a one year plan, i recommend for people like you, romance the New General Mathematics textbook, get a notebook, master the rules and laws and solve several questions. you should progress thus : Get a J.s.s 1-3 textbook, plan to cover it in 3 months (a month each for each year,it is possible if you are determined (3) S.S 1 maths textbook (4 months) (4) S.S 2 maths txtbk (2 months) (5) S,S 3 maths txtbk (1 month). Try this with an open mind, and your foundation will be restored.

I am a success story in Maths,transiting from a week maths student in Primary school, to obtaining my Only A1 in WASSCE exam in maths, in fact the other distinctions were A3's.


Maths aid logical thinking and decision making, in actual fact, if you are deficient in maths, you dont realise how much of deficiency it has on your analytical thinking, you will tend to use more of your emotions in making decisions.

booqee: no! I can specifically tell you dat the citizens at ifo local government are definitely not happy. Infact they're not happy with amosun. bad roads, no good supply of electricity.. damn. Amosun is only facing major cities in ogun state..and dats not fair to the other local government. But no..they never fail to collect taxes from us. Their internal revenue service bus never stops parading here, collecting taxes! Wtf?!

Girl, take a chill, Amosun has only being governor for 1 year and 10 months, initially the complain was he was focusing only on the capital city, Abeokuta, now it has changed to major cities, wait a little more, it will change to only cities and not rural areas. Let me tell one bitter truth though, the most important thing needed from the governor is consistency, even at that, he wont fix all the bad roads or construct all the needed new roads in 4 years, no thanks to financial constraints.

So a criminal was left free, coz of "state of lagos" . What nonsense?

May be UNN should be renamed Chinua Achebe University (CAU)..sounds like Cow

anonimi: Thank you for raising these pertinent questions for those who still have scales on their eyes to understand these issues COMPREHENSIVELY.
How much did Awolowo leave when he was Western region premier 60 years ago with REAL massive projects all over the region and laying the foundation for ROBUST human development in education, healthcare etc and YET he had no oil money.
Same thing with Olabisi Onabanjo 30 nyears ago.
Those who want to compare with Gbenga Daniel and the other military administrators MILADS are free to do so in order for them to continue celebrating this expensive MEDIOCRITY.

You this PDP boy, you enjoy asking nonsensical questions that you want no answer to. You don't want the current ACN governor in Ogun State to be compared with the preceding governor who spent 8 years with little or nothing show, instead they should be compared with the administrators 30 and 60 years ago, I see nothing much wrong with your intended comparism, if only you are sincere, and attempt to put objectivity in to your comparisms.

I have questions for you, since you know so much about Awolowo and Onabanjo era.

I think it is best you answer your questions, and also find answers to these ones.

What was the exchange rate of the then Nigerian currency to a british pound & US dollar 60 years and 30 years ago ?
or the Naira value has stayed the same?


What was the population of the western Region 60 years ago and Ogun state 30 years ago?

What was the average income per annum in nigerian currency?

Finding answers to these questions will aid objective comparisms.

This man is simply bitter, he lacked what a political strategist should have, which is foresight. For that i will respect the man Tinubu.

Tinubu saw that supporting OBJ was dangerous for AD in 2003, most of the elders never saw it.
Tinubu saw that the AD was a drowning party in 2006, and quickly liaise with other important figures to form the ACN
Tinubu saw a good leader in Fashola, even when others failed to see it.
Tinubu saw that fighting a battle with OBJ during the LG creation debacle was a battle he could survive without FG allocation.
Tinubu was never afraid to be alone with his ideology, and only him survived the PDP tsunami in 2003 SW gubernatorial elections. In actual Fact INEC had concluded rigging PDP for Lagos on its website apportioning over 1 million votes to PDP, and 800,000 votes for AD, but they could not declare it, they find out it was suicidal to do that with Tinubu.

ACN was formed few months to the 2007 election , and not 2003 as Falae makes it seems.

Falae also formed the DPA party, so what is the fuss?, why didnt he stay in the AD ?

Many of these claimed leaders who simply lack FORESIGHT have a problem with Tinubu now for his perceived success, it is a slap on their face, and they are really bitter. The man they looked at as a small rascal some 14 years ago is the cornerstone of the Opposition in Nigerian politics.

Let me also add that someone who is trying to revive SDP party in 2013, is likely senile or out of touch with reality.

VoodooDoll: What's the current composition of this agency?

Daily Trust has an agenda and a broken clock is right at least twice a day but it's still a broken clock that uses funny information to obfuscate.

[quote author=val_dee]lol at sacrifise to the gods of tribalism.

It has to be daily trust, while they turn a blind eye to that of customs because the North are born to rule.

Tribalism infested journalism.

I think its high time they investigate all these so called federal recruitments, let us see the real beneficiaries.[/quote]What point are you lots making? That Daily trust fabricated numbers and apportion it to south east states? Are you people incapable of rational thinking?

How come? nepotism seems to be smelling in the recruitment process, Is Stella Oduah the one messing around?

For those who claim that the middle class is growing, i agree with you, but the bottom of the pyramid class is growing faster than the middle class. Please do not let this concept eludes you.
If it continues that way, poverty rate grows higher annually. Poverty rate in Naija is over 70% , i am so sure of this, you can not be in your urban area and stay in your little haven, and truly understand Poverty and livelihood in nigeria.

Clearly, this Akpabio has a low IQ , and so many warp minded nigerians in the crowd cheered and hailed his shameful statement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sc3kww4BcyE

Bokoharam Is Fighting For Justice – Bamangar Tukur

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has said members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, are fighting for justice.

According to him, many Nigerians feel aggrieved and seek various means of airing their grievances.

Tukur, who spoke in Abuja on Tuesday when he received members of the party from Gombe State, said there must be justice in the country for peace to reign.

He however regretted that the activities of the sect were preventing some northerners from travelling to their home states.

Tukur said there was no way angry people would control their anger when there was nothing on their stomachs.

He said, “Let there be peace in the North so that we can have security.

“We can’t even travel again because of the insecurity in the region. Boko Haram is fighting for justice. Boko Haram is another name for justice.

“People feel aggrieved. They are angry because they are hungry. Unless we remove the hunger, we too may not be able to rest.

“We should remember that a child who says his mother would not sleep will also not sleep.”

The former governor of old Gongola State said he accepted to be honoured by the members of the party from the North-East on Saturday in his village because he wanted people know that things were not working well with the people in rural areas.

He said, “People would be wondering why I took the reception to my village in Jada. And they would be asking why not a place like Abuja, where we have good roads and all that.

“I did so, so that people would know what is happening in rural areas. Those that were there must have seen the bad roads. We must help people who cannot help themselves.

“That is why we are in government. You cannot do anything unless you are committed to it. We must build this party on equity and justice.”

Earlier, Gombe State Governor Ibrahim Dankwanbo, who led the delegation said the members came to show their loyalty to the leadership of the party.

occam: Even Nigeria's top statistician confirms poverty is still excruciatingly high in Nigeria

Dr Kale said that between 2004 and 2010, Nigeria’s poverty rate had moved from 54.4 per cent to 69 per cent involving 112,518,507 Nigerians, adding that although the country’s Gross Domestic Growth (GDP) had grown since then, it had little impact on the poverty situation

In some states poverty rate is about 77%

Thanks, i believe those stats, they are not far from reality, i wish some doubting the stats can get down from their high horse.

Rossikk: I thought they said 80% of Nigerians live on less than a dollar a day?

Just goes to show the dubious nature of 'World Bank statistics'.

According to NDIC , almost 90% of the deposits in the banks are owned by 6%.
One of the biggest problem, is the distribution of wealth is so skewed. The middle class is almost non existent.

While the very few big guns pop champagne like it is running out, the vast majority of nigerians can barely see potable water to drink

sucess001: Emiye, i like ur intellectual analysis of issues albeit i do not agree.

the reason is this. lagos dont have to have the same kind of budget as Venezuala. you do not even need money to allocate a portion of lanf to people who have been living there for long.

Now let me tell u this...even Nigeria's LAND USE ACT at the time of promulgation confered ownership at of land to people who have been inhabiting a place for a long period.

lagos can adopt that more humane approach in this case.


thats my point.

What is the definition of Long period?

How do you determine the long period?

Lagos state is the most populated state in nigeria , and also the state with the smallest land mass.

How reasonable is it to then allocate such very scarce commodity (lands) to those individuals (some not even nigerians) who illegally settle on a land, and turn it to a place of filth, and slum.?

In the event of natural disasters, many of these people are so directly exposed to the risks involved, and will suffer the consequences, the makoko slum is a great eyesore and some other slums, and gradually Government must take step to reduce slums in Urban areas, The MDG goals , in particular goal 7 and target 7.10 looks at reducing urban population in slums.

The phrase "Go back to your village" might sound tribalistic or inhumane,but on a second thought, there is some sense in it. There are people who have no business staying in Lagos State, a cosmopolitan city. The same applies to Abuja and some other places.

Many of the slum dwellers also do not help themselves, slum is not where you live forever, you a see man in the slum breeding like pigs, no plan to get out of the slum, creating a vicious cycle of poverty, and an expanding slum.

All in all, I think Governance also requires that certain logical decisions are taken, devoid of emotions or sentiments.

If i come to stay illegally on your land with my wife and children, i am sure, one day you will give me an eviction notice.

50calibre: No this is different, hitler was fueled by hate, racism and jealousy, the Jews never hurt Germans, hitler hated them because they were more successful than typical Germans and he also belived there was a Jewish conspiracy against Germany

Whereas I don't need to remind you of the havoc our northern brothers are causing

I think you are rather worse than hitler. I will rather say 50calibre is fueled by hate, tribalism and jealousy,

When you say North, do you understand the complexities and ethnic mix of the North, the religious diversity in the North ?. Do an indepth research on each of the states in the following zones (North West, North East, North Central)with special emphasis on their ethnic mix and religious diversity, I think we southerners are guilty of stereotyping the Northerners. We mostly have a poor understanding of the composition of the North.

If you succeed with your biological weapon to exterminate the north, what happens to your southern brothers who reside there?

Hmmmn, Boko haram has failed ? I wish !

50calibre: No a nuke would let out so much radiation, render the lands uninhabitable for years, a chemical weapon as well as a nuke would attract international condemnation.

So my choice which I call "the final solution" would be a biological weapon, a deadly, weaponised, laboratory engineered pathogen with no cure that would be dispersed and then the whole north would be quarantined. To the world, it would look like a deadly sub saharan or tropical disease outbreak just like flu, Ebola, small pox, etc

I am so sure this is how Adolf Hitler started nursing his "wonderful" plan of exterminating the jews.

Renew your mind, it is never late. Love not Hate.
