PoliticsRe: The Niger Delta In Pictures by GAR3TH(m): 4:54pm On Jan 19, 2011
The pictures are very sad. But in reality the Niger Delta has received billions of US dollars over the years from oil companies and the federal government. But Its their state and local government leaders who are stealing the money. Like I said before, Southern leaders are the most corrupt of any Nigerian leaders. But what I find so funny is that the people of the Niger Delta keep electing the same corrupt officials year after year and then afterwards blame shell and the federal government for their problems.

Anyway here is a picture of Andy Uba's mansion in abuja, former governor of Anambra state, corrupt

Fuel tanker explosion kills at least 230 in Congo


Video in link below

A fuel truck exploded and set fire to a village in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, killing more than 230 people and injuring scores, officials and local residents said Saturday.
   
Flames engulfed dozens of earth and straw constructed homes as villagers, many of them children, crowded around the tanker after it overturned late on Friday to scavenge its contents.
   
"People tried to escape but were caught by the fire and reduced to ashes," said Tondo Sahizira, a 28-year-old teacher at Sange, home to some 50,000 people located around 70 kilometres (40 miles) south of the Sud-Kivu regional capital of Bukavu, close to the border with Burundi. . .

PoliticsRe: Fashola Suspends Lekki Expressway Toll Collection by GAR3TH(m): 9:07pm On Dec 31, 2010
Limaoscar:
I have lived in Lekki for a while before moving to the U.S. and still go back and forth there. The Point some of us have ever made is not that tolling is not welcome in the state. The point we made to the Governor early this year (Lekki landlords association) is,[b] Provide  alternative routes for Christ sake [/b]since you're hell bent on tolling a refurbished and existing road. Now some people are fighting each other here, calling names and citing the U.S.  Na wa oh!

I live in Houston, Tx. and I pay toll (EZ tags etc.) if I want a quicker journey but there are other routes if I chose to roll on those.
there is already an alternative route posted on LCC Website and if you guys want a new "six lane" alternative route, how on earth can lagos pay for it with it N2 billion budget. the same alternative route you are calling for will also be tolled (ppp).

and of-course houston already has multiple alternative routes. most of houstons highways were built since the cold war (1970s). Lekki on the other hand has one expressway.

typical becomerich,

not to stop your propaganda but the Ivory coast doesn't have an equipped navy nor airforce that can compare with nigeria. Ivory coast navy has no warships but only has gunboats and their airforce has only 2 fighter jets that are from the 90s. while nigeria's navy has multiple warships and gunboats and the airforce has multiple new fighter jets.

as far as the army, please dont compare. nigeria has about 300 tanks compared to the 15 from the ivory coast. not to mention the human numbers nigeria has.

there is one thing we have in common. . . .the ak47 grin
PoliticsRe: Fashola Suspends Lekki Expressway Toll Collection by GAR3TH(m): 3:04pm On Dec 31, 2010
@ eku_bear

7 type of taxes in the U.S.A.

Income Taxes, properties tax, Consumptive tax, Corporate tax, Payroll tax, Capital gain tax,Inheritance or Estate Tax. not to mention the bills/credit.

And you pay them to the federal, state, and local governments. (federal income tax, state income, )

on top of that they still pay tolls $9-$11 tolls for bridge, highways and tunnels.

^^ there are alternative routes, and if you want the government to build new alternative route, what money are they going to use? its going to be a PPP again.
PoliticsRe: Fashola Suspends Lekki Expressway Toll Collection by GAR3TH(m): 11:48pm On Dec 30, 2010
but nothing is built for free. Lagos only has a budget of 2 billion USD, and has a population of 15 million +. there is no way the government can build anything for this large of a population, with that kind of funds. That is why you see many PPP (Public Private Partnership) projects around lagos. such as the 3.6 billion USD lekki free tarde zone, which is worth more than lagos's yearly budget, and the light rail, BRT, Power,roads,bridges etc. all are built through the PPP process and all have to make a profit. So what makes the Lekki expressway any different? they still have to make a profit.

and on the discussion of the coastal road. the coast highway is part of lagos's outer ring road, which is a different project for a different time. the coastal road will circle around the perimeter of lagos (city) and will have a suspension bridge that will connect it to the Apapa area were the road will continue. but that a different project for a different time.
PoliticsRe: Fashola Suspends Lekki Expressway Toll Collection by GAR3TH(m): 10:14am On Dec 30, 2010
You mean that glorified dual carriage road that was there before. Isn't the lagos-benin road also a dual carriage highway, but look at its condition. The expressway's construction is an overhaul, and not a repair job.

Fact is, if you cant afford the tolls, I wonder how you were able to buy a car.

Of course, I stand to be corrected and will be pleasantly surprised to hear otherwise (regarding weaponry and military research)
lol Nigeria does have a company which makes APC (Armoured personnel carrier) and the Defence Industrial Corporation of Nigeria also manufactures its own ak47 (obj).

the air force also builds its own UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and also manufactures it "air beetle" trainers

i believe the Navy is currently building a warship.

[quote author=invisible! link=topic=574674.msg7413809#msg7413809 date=1293408083]In Nigeria now, its impossible to enforce national security of lives and property, the police, army is controled from the centre. You try as a state govnor to change things and it may never work. (ask Abia govnor) Someone may be pressing outside buttons from the federal level. Regional policing may be better.[/quote]True,

but individual states do have their own elements of security. for example lagos state has it Lastma police and also has it Rapid Response Squad (RRS). But i think that its going to change in the near future. nigeria is breaking up all things controlled by the center, such as power and telecom.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Needs To Split Urgently! by GAR3TH(m): 12:53am On Dec 27, 2010
@ viewlekan

some good points,

but in my opinion many of nigeria's problems can be solve without splitting. it just seems crazy to me that splitting will be the answer.

@ topic  if you ask me splitting nigeria is ones personal motive. okay tell if you split nigeria what would you do next. you will go after the problems that your new country has such as infrastructure, education, violences etc. so why cant you do that with nigeria right now? why not just go after nigeria's problems and fix them. basically splitting is unnessasary.
