Ibori apart, British are the most hypocritical set of people. So selfish and self centred, even within Europe.

I bet you, they are still keeping Ibori's loot to themselves. Forget the figures being brandished. These guys haven't returned up to 10% of the loot.

The crown court will give an order for permanent forfeiture of the loot, which will be used by the British.

Dijita:
Good morning all. This is a shout out to Adedward aluminum. He did a very good job despite the challenges he faced while doing my project. He lost his mother. May her gentle soul rest in peace. I know she is gentle because she raise a gentle and hard working man. He did not use my money to bury his mother and then start giving excuses as some would have done. He did not do a shoddy job and old wife tale as some would have done.
My mum visited the site and she prayed and prayed for the classy job that was done. My friend visited the site and was impressed. His performance on the windows now encourage me to engage him for the bathroom doors. I can attest to the quality of job he did for me and recommends him to those in need of his professional service.
I have given positive feedback to Imran roofing and Adedward Aluminum. If I give you work and you did not perform I will come here and shout.
Thanks all

Lucky you bro! Lucky you! I wasn't lucky with Adedward as you were.

He delivered broken windows to me, incomplete net size and worst of it, put an empty white pipe as burglary without iron! Yes, you heard me right, white pipe without an iron in one of my large windows he supplied.

I have been asking him to come and rectify this for the past 7 months. He kept shifting the goal post. He told me to get someone, may be another aluminum person to estimate the cost of fixing those things mentioned and he would reimburse the aluminum guy. He was given the quote of what it would cost to change the broken glasses, put the correct window net size and replace the empty pipes he put as burglary, but he vehemently refused, saying it was high and that he would come himself or send someone to fix them.

Bro, we have been on that since. He hasn't yet come, neither has he sent anyone. Series of messages were sent to him to know the time he would be coming but he refused to answer, neither did he reply my call.

I am not here to rubbish Adedward as it is not in my character. I always exercise patience, even with my workers and my subordinates. I give people time to correct themselves and make amends. However, I hate it when I am being taken for granted.

I will keep using people from this site for my project. I have had fantastic guys worked on my projects from this site.

Notwithstanding, I am still weighing my option and watching him on 3D. I am waiting for his rebuttal and challenge, if he is up to it.

AsomughaChuks05:
I can confidently say that the Chief Willie Obiano International Airport Umueri when it begins operations, will be the busiest airport in the South after MMIA. Onitsha businessmen will turn the place to a beehive of activity as they fly to Guangzhou, Seoul, Germany, USA, South Africa, Taiwan etc to close multi billion dollar business deals and bring in billion dollar cargoes.

Easy bro! Chest beating won't take you anywhere. Chest beating has always been the downfall of people. Excited over little things. Learn to manage expectations.

Nairalanders always have the impression that people from other zones beefs them whenever their governor does any little good. If FG doesn't approve these routes, then nothing. I hope they do.

The routes you mentioned are good, but it all depends on Abuja approving them and allowing willing international airlines to serve the airport. I know why i’m cautious in this regard....this is Nigeria with its caustic envy, badbelle and ‘Ndigbo should be held down’ attitude!

Buying weapons from the countries that were at par with them in 1960 - China, South Korea, Pakistan - we are hardly an innovative and productive country. Always beclouded by poor sense of reason and patriotism. A typical Nigerian government will continue to import something instead of encouraging a local manufacturer - Ethnic and sectional leanings will always becloud their sense of judgment.

Nawao. I hate hearing about exit of foreign investors. These are the people that creates real value and employment. Most indigenous investors are more or less round tripping, waiting for government patronage.

Late last month, an investor that wanted to partner with my client in the free trade zone, onne, called that he was pulling out, citing inconsistency from the government regulators. This was a project that could add not less than $20m and create some jobs within the local economy.

Our standards are terribly low in this country - I will keep saying it. Let the ignorant people keep abusing me. It is only when you step out of this country that you will come to understand the magnitude and quantum of backwardness our leaders have bequeathed on us. We have passed this kind of structures despites all the funds. Compromising standards to have excess money for looting.

see the rubbish being shown up there - whether privately owned or government owned, we should up our ante in the construction sector. The stadium of a 10th grade club in UK is far better than all these rubbish. Even the training pitches of some hotels are far more better than these. Look at the grasses sef - They should just turn them to ranch and allow the cattle to feed on them.

Aesthetics is always part of building and we lack that in all facets of our build industry.

Travel › Re: 15 Wealthiest Countries In The World (richest Countries) by Focusmind: 12:13pm On Mar 14, 2021

oz4real83:
You are talking about per capita income. Germany that u put in number 15 has a far bigger economy that most of the countries you listed. But because Germany has a larger population than these countries, when u divide the population by the total income/GDP, u find that the per capita income of Germany is smaller than them. Smaller per capita income doesn't mean Germany is poorer than them, it is just the population that is larger.

The OP is right. Wealth has to be measured per capita. Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa but when you situate it with our huge but very unproductive population, it becomes the poverty capital of the world.

Nigeria economy is 25th largest in the world but when you consider the poor economic development indices and the unproductive population, even the 50th placed economy is far better than her. GDP alone is not a proper indicator of wealth but rather GDP per capita.

Travel › Re: Anambra International Cargo And Passenger Airport Umueri Update (Photos ) by Focusmind: 10:30am On Mar 14, 2021

post=99872274:
Anambra is not Delta, Anambra is commercial and industrial state with bigger population than Delta, Anambra is building Cargo and passenger airport, Asaba airport is just passenger airport

It is not about been a commercial city. It is still about the mentality of the people. An average Onitsha/ Anambra man is very price sensitive, especially the traders. They will rather use GUO at 15k than Arik air at 45k to fly from Lagos to Onitsha and return.

Anybody living in Onitsha will gladly fly to Asaba than using that Umuleri Airport with potential armed robbery menace on the airport road.

The siting of that airport in that area is a big minus. I come to Onitsha regularly and usually land in Asaba before moving to Onitsha. Why would I want to use an airport situated miles from Onitsha?

Considering the way people in that area behaves, I fear the security situation along that airport road. Airport road is usually targeted by robbers to rob people going or coming from the airports.

I am not hating o but if you ask me, the money should have been used to fix all the bad roads in Onitsha and Nnewi and give the cities a facelift in terms of beauty and livibility.

Onitsha is still far from what a modern city should be and Nnewi is even worse, with dusty roads and decrepit drainage systems.[code][/code]

You are right. I am not an interior designer but once I see an eye - catching design, I know.

I could as well create my own design from scratch.

n3xt is excellent with minimal designs - both interior and exterior. The more lean a POP or TV stand is, the more appealing ambience it radiates.

Well, each to his own. What you may consider grotesque may be a pride to someone else.

Who appropriated for the money to be spent? Is it his personal money? In UK, elected officials cannot even make a pledge talk more of giving out money.

All money spent must be appropriated for and approved. Here, governors will be dolling out millions of Naira to people and people will be commending it.

Government is not a charity organisation irrespective of the good intentions of giving out the money. That's the same way they take out money from the coffers without checks and balances.
