Please stop insulting our collective intelligence with this type of post. Resurfacing is different from rebuilding!!! How old is the road?? I am not a student of history but i am sure that road is definitely more than 20 years old (conservative estimate). I was abroad sometime ago and i saw them reconstructing a major highway, which they said had come to the end of its useful life (which was about 30yrs). Believe me this highway made Benin Ore and Lagos Ibadan look like mere bush paths!!!

How many times have they fixed this road on paper? Where did the money go to? Yes he has 'fixed' it and made it passable, but considering the importance of this road to the ecomomy and how much that has been budgeted and "SPENT" on it, , pleaaaasssssseeee, i expect more,

Dear all i am constrained to join issues with this thread but please take time to read this. In as much as the bible is prone to imperfections in translations (as claimed), the koran is not altogether free from it too,  Take ur time to read this,

Textual History
of the Koran
Almost every Muslim is taught from infancy to cling to the notion that
the Bible has been corrupted and changed, while the Koran is free
from corruption, perfectly preserved since the time of Muhammad.
But a thorough study of the textual history of the Koran will show
that it is not the Bible, but the Koran that has been changed. That is
what Islamic historians themselves bequeathed to us.
After the famous battle of Aqraba in 632 AD, during the Caliphate
of Abu Bakr, many Muslims who knew the Koran by heart were killed.
As a result, Umar B. Al-Khattab advised Abu Bakr of the need to compile
the Koran into a standardized text. Abu Bakr ordered the compilation to
be made by Zaid Ibn Thabit from inscriptions on palm leaves, stones and
from the remaining reciters.
When the compilation was done, it was kept by Abu Bakr until his
death. His successor, Umar, then took custody of it. Afterward, it came
into the possession of Hafsa, one of Muhammad’s widows (a daughter of
Umar). The companions of the prophet also did their own compilations
and produced other manuscripts for use in various provinces. There were
four rival provinces, each using a different text of the Koran.
During the reign of Khalif Uthman (the third Khalifah), reports
reached him that in various parts of Syria, Armenia and Iraq, Muslims
were reciting the Koran differently from the way it was being recited by
Arabian Muslims. Uthman immediately sent for the manuscript in Hafsa's
possession and ordered Zaid Ibn Thabit and three others, Abdullah Ibn
Zubair, Said Ibn Al-As and Abdullah Al-Rahman Ibn Harith B. Hisham to
make copies of the text and make corrections where necessary. When
these were completed, we read that Uthman took violent action
regarding other existing Koranic manuscripts:
Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they
had copied and ordered that all the other koranic materials,
whether written in fragmentary manuscripts, whole copies, to
be burnt. (Sahih al-Bukhari Vol. 6 Page 479).
To eliminate variant readings and contradictions, all other
manuscripts were indeed burned, but the Uthmanic edition itself was
not perfect and met with a similar fate. When Marwan was governor
of Medina, he ordered Hafsa's manuscript to be destroyed. The only
reasonable conclusion one can have is that during Uthman's time,
some of the contradictions in Hafsa's text were so glaring that a total
destruction of it was called for rather than a revision. From then until
now, conflicting passages and historical inaccuracies exist within the
Koranic texts.
The Deedats, the Joommals, and the so-called Sheiks continue their
unwarranted attack on the Bible while suppressing the fact that Khalif
Uthman burned all the Koranic manuscripts apart from Hafsa's, and that
Governor Marwan followed the example of Uthman by destroying the
Hafsa text as well. Anyone with the slightest regard for truth would have
to admit that the Textus Receptus of the Koran now in circulation is a far
cry from the textus originalis! It is not too wild to suggest that were
Muhammad alive at the time of these incidents, he would have received
one of his usual  revelations  to back up those burnings.
Contrary to Muslim belief, there were more than just language
differences between Uthman's text and the texts which were ordered to
be burned. In every case, there were considerable verbal differences
between them and the text Uthman determined (by whim) to be the
final standardized version of the Koran.
These differences were real textual variants and not just language
peculiarities as is often taken for granted. In several cases there were
words and sentences found in some codices that were missing in others.
In other instances, the variants concerned whole clauses and consonantal
variants in certain words. No wonder Khalif Uthman had to resort to
wholesale burning as his best option.

Evidence abounds to this day, that verses, indeed whole passages are
missing from the Koran that is in circulation today. For instance, the
second Khalifah, Khalif Umar, stated in his life-time that certain verses
prescribing stoning for adultery were recited by Prophet Muhammad
himself as part of the Koran:
God sent Muhammad and sent down the scripture to him. Part
of what he sent down was the passage on stoning. We read it,
we were taught it, and we heeded it. The apostle stoned and we
stoned after him. I fear that in time to come men will say that
they find no mention of stoning in Gods book and thereby go
astray in neglecting an ordinance which God has sent down.
Verily, stoning in the book of God is a penalty laid on married
men and women who commit adultery.(Ibn Ishaq, Sirat
Rasulullah p. 684)
The verse on stoning, no longer to be found in the Koran, is
incontrovertible proof that the Koran as it stands today is not the same
as the one spoken by Muhammad.
How can Muslims
boldly assert (despite hard historic evidence to the contrary) that the
Bible has been changed while the Koran has been perfectly preserved
since Muhammad's time?

The plain truth is that the Koran has been changed through
suppression and burning, and many of its passages have been deliberately
removed or altered.

My dear, read Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and in more contemporary time Ben Carson's stories. They all had one form of learning disorders at one time or the other. Ben Carson especially said in his books that it was his mother that believed in him and today he is a successful neurosurgeon. The first in the world that successfully separated co-joined twins at the head, and that from a man that had learning disabilities when he was young, See Thomas Edison, he has more patents to inventions than any other inventor in the world as at today. Please read his story here on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison#Early_life
He specifically said 'My mother was the making of me'. People thought he was a dull and stupid child, but his mum believed in him.

To your hubby, he is just being the dull one here, but he will definitely come around. Please don't by any means stop supporting ur boy, He is another Einstein, Edison or Carson in the making!!!!!

I listened to the new Comptroller General on AIT and what he was telling the top echelon of customs as one of his agendas was punctuality IMAGINE!!!! His diction his demeanor everything about him (am sorry to say) points to the fact that he might not be as educated / qualified as he claims to be. As leaders punctuality should not be an agenda for the Nigerian Customs, its already a given, Punctuality is something that should be part and parcel of u as a leader. God save Nigeria from the clutches of people like this,
