mrvitalis: Lol yorubas wants to be, finance minister, CBN governor, FIRS, minister of health, works ministry
Not that I care but I found it hypocritical that same people that complained about Jonathans government being South East dominateed ( which was obvious lies) because South East had SSG and deputy Senate President and deputy speaker,
Are now grabbing everything
Will that change the brown roofs in the region? Don't think so, all this position don't affect the development of the region it's all personal and family and friends benefits 😜
What is 30MW? Lagos state should attract and Power plant of at least 1000MW, these are the kind of projects that we should be seeing in the state not Alpha Beta, the power generation needed by those manufacturing companies in Lagos only would take up almost every thing, I wonder why we can not get this power issue for once.two three states can come together and own one power plant, there is lots of money to me made from it, i dont know why the states are not looking in that directions, with the new law where by you can generate and distribute states like Akwa Ibom with its own power plant would benefit, Akwa Ibome has 150MW plant in Ikot abasi and the state only needs about 30MW, that is why I wonder why a state like lagos should go for only 30MW
aswani: Obi's legal team haven't brought proof of anything at the Tribunal in all his submissions to cause a rerun.
What a dissapointment and let down. Serious gazelle gra gra, where belle face nonsense.
you de sleep since for this country, all the states they contesting its results and the 18k polling units which amount to 3m votes with blurred result na wetin, Rivers, Lagos, Pleatue where Obi was short change more than 2m votes na wetin, be calm and allow the judicary do its Job
Why ask china to come build for you when yo have 500Billion that can give you a lot of them , but instead you want to share it and pay instead investing that money to pay itself, Tinubu na accountant, see very bad policies, all economics keep quiet now.
ogmask: Those stuff you mentioned are like asking a blind man the colour of your shirt in rivers state. The details of contracts in rivers state is hidden from the public.
That was duriing the time of Wike, you dont know if SIM would do same
Simeonjoe1: Walahi that cecc dey surprise me, beating JB to their game. Na only bridge JB fit construct. Quality road is zero. What happen to indigenous Nigeria construction companies? Can't we compete and construct high quality infrastructure and highway like this guys? We use to have dantata and sowoe I hardly see them nowadays, or may be they've moved to construction of estate and bungalow houses, a complete shame... A whole country like Nigeria without any reputable construction firm to give us superhighway and skyscrapers, how would we develop like the Chinese?
Please forget local construction companies, you will not get a standard Road
ogmask: The Network for the Actualisation of Social Growth and Viable Development (NEFGAD), says the Rivers state government is spending beyond what is normal on road construction. In a statement in Abuja on Friday, Akingunola Omoniyi, executive secretary of the group, said the state’s 50.15 km road project is the “most expensive” contract in the history of public procurement in Nigeria and globally”. Omoniyi, said Siminalayi Fubara, the state governor, had tweeted a video on July 11 where he said the Port Harcourt ring road project was awarded at the cost of N195.3 billion. Omoniyi added that spending such an amount on road construction shows the state is insensitive to the economic plight of the people. “The 50.15km Port Harcourt ring road contract awarded at the cost of N195.3b standing at approximately N4b per kilometer shows that the Rivers state government is insensitive to the economic plight of the people and engaging in a show of shame by coming to the public to sign such world’s most flamboyant and luxurious contract,” Omoniyi said. “The anti-corruption group has observed with dismay that the cost of road construction in Nigeria has been consistently outrageous which now calls for serious concern and scrutiny. “Going by a World Bank report, the cost of constructing 1km of road is less than half a billion naira anywhere in the world irrespective of topographic differences. “This figure is the benchmark that should not be surpassed regardless of several factors except with vested interest that usually characterizes public contracts in Nigeria. “The only thing left out of the contract is for the Rivers state government to apply to the Guinness World Record (GWR) for verification and certification as the world’s most expensive contract. “This is barbaric, outrageous and questionable and will not go unchallenged.” He called on relevant anti-corruption agencies to look into the procurement process and all financial details of the contract for possible remedy. He added that failure to do so would compel the group to engage in advocacy against the uneconomic practice of the state government.
It is wrong to conclude in that manner, they should request for the BOQ and verify the cost of every item involved. Why are these people not critizing under quoted roads since they mean well for Nigerians and what the best.
They should ask for the full contracts, I believe right of ways would be paid for, compensation for people's property would be taken care of, you don't come with the total sum of the contract without seeing the details to criticize them, this is politics.
Penguin2: A drive through Lagos will leave the picture of dilapidated infrastructure before you.
Is it the expressway from Ojota to Costain that now has collapsed portions that a simple patchwork could have solved?
Is it the the road to Ogombo from Abraham Adesanya that has totally collapsed and spills traffic to Abraham Adesanya roundabout?
Is it the abandoned project at VGC that left bad portions of road there that causes massive traffic and loss of productive hours?
Is it the construction of Awoyaya to Abraham Adesanya section of the Lekki-Epe Expressway that is moving at the speed of snail which has made a trip that should have been 10 minutes to run into 3 hours sometimes?
Or is the total collapse of infrastructure in Idumota Market with flood almost taking over some section of the market without government lifting a finger?
Or is it the fact that no inner streets roads has been constructed anywhere in Lagos in the past four years?
These things leaves you wondering, “what is Lagos really doing with its huge revenue”?
Again, one can’t help but wonder, if smaller and poorer states like Ebonyi, etc, can build infrastructures without putting it back on the residents in the name of tolls, why does Lagos keep concessioning major infrastructural projects like roads, bridges, to private entities who use their money to build these projects and resort to daily taxing of residents in the name of tolls in order to recoup their investment?
You guys are just waking up? If not for the federal government that developed Lagos as its for former nation's capital, Lagos would have been like the other western states.
Let's not go far, in the last 4yrs show us the project started and commissioned by the governor?
They just collect money and share, borrow and share.
Everytime stay for your country and build it, how far have you built Nigeria? How do you build a country that wants to borrow 500 billion and share 8k to it's citizen. Please stop this building you're talking about. You only build a country that is ready to be built.
LZAA: Go to Europe and US and see people competing to break different records everyday Nobody is going to ban anybody It's called record setting for a reason Ban😄😄😄
we just wake up, or it out of nothing to do everyone wants to break record, I will apply for the longest sleeping time or longest time in the shower
Nigerians call on authorities to intervene as lady kick starts Snail-A-Thon during which she'd be frying and cooking snail-related meals for 200 hours to set a Guinness World Record.
Over the last few months, Nigerians have taken to using every means accessible to them to set one Guinness World Record or the other. While the pace had been set by Hilda Baci who began the Cook-a-Thon trend in Nigeria, many a citizen have brought up different ideas. A video currently making the rounds online captures a lady who began a 200-hour Snail-A-Thon during which she'd be frying nonstop for 8 days. Many have, however, considered the trend to be spinning out of control and have called on the authorities to do something about the recent GWR frenzy.
They will soon ban us, because we over do our things

ExAngel007: A Nigerian doctor has queried a recent photo rapper, Olamide, shared online.
The Nigerian doctor mentioned that the photo shows cannisters of Nitrious oxides close to the bed Olamide sat on in the photo.
He alleged that Olamide pumped the gas into the balloon and was inhaling it.
Nitrous oxide is a gas that is inhaled recreationally for its rapid but short-lived feelings of euphoria, relaxation, calmness, and sense of detachment.
Tomorrow when he gets broke una go come say he sing for Nigeria make government help him, really dont know what exactly is there problem with getting high all the time.
My Brother could you be quiet for once, you are a former spokes person, why dont you allow one of his kins men to respond for him, he spoke the truth, since you have decided to come in his defense it means you were part of the corruption, if you should be investigated something must drop
Anyways, it will. If you observe your politicians, they’re already scheming ready for it..
After tinubu, ticket goes back to north then back to south..
At this time, it’s most likely going to be between SE & SS to clinch the ticket. But from what’s going on, SS is most likely going to clinch the ticket, going by the way they’re playing their politics..
the working Port is Onne Port, which only allow for Oil and Gas Equipments only, other commercial activities do not take place there
SmartPolician: Jonathan really messed up when he became the president of Nigeria. He had the opportunity to improve the ports in his region to some of the best in the world.
he messed up big time, an that would have being the turning point for the Niger Delta, if the Ports in Port Harcourt, Warri and Calabar was working to installed capacity and build a new Modern Port In Bayelsa, when would that opportunity come again.

seunmsg: Labour Party massively spreading lies and misinformation just to blackmail APC and the judiciary when their useless case is finally dismissed.
Were you not able to notice the part where he explicitly stated it as a rumor? Kindly take the time to thoroughly read and comprehend the information before initiating a response.
Why would the court do that, they should allow the man answer for his crimes, if he is innocent he would be set free, i really dont understand out courst these days.
BitterTruth01: That is illegal. Only a court of law or a designated agency like an arbitration board can conduct an eviction. I’m not a tenant btw. But truth must be told
What truth how can someone build a house with his money then tenant wouldn't pay so the landlord should wait for court of law before he can get his money or property back, most people feed from these properties failure to pay it means you're bringing hardship on them.
Well as a landlord all my tenants do have a signed agreement to pay their rent 6 months to expiration failure to do that 6 months is your quit notice staring you at the face, 3 months to go another paper served you to vacate the property for repairs, you cannot bring your hardship to spoil my own .
[quote author=Ezini post=124202175][/quote]they want to sit at home, so let them suffer, the massess should make an effort they have being told to come to work there would be security, theyu are afraid of 5 persons with gun driving around in sienna. Just 5 person would hold a state to ransom.
mrvitalis: An accountant as a minister of finance??
Oboy here we go again
It's about to go down... Accounting is a noble profession but appointing an accountant as a minister of finance shows this people don't know anything about economics what so ever
The minister of finance is the chief economic development policy formulator of the country... It has little or nothing to do with accounting
A minister of finance should be minimum a PhD holder with 10 years minimum experience in a policy formulation and vast knowledge and experience in macro developmental economics
This is why Buhari failed , accountant as CBN Governor with mere MBA as highest qualification and an accountant as minister of finance again with MBA as highest qualification
Banking is micro economics, minister of finance is macro economics they are not similar at all...
It's like making a Med lab scientist a CMD of a general Hospital
misano: See how fast Tinubu is when comes to implementing taxes. If he used that same speed to start implementing policies that will pull people out of poverty it would have been good. I will say it here. Tinubu has nothing good to offer Nigerians.
Are you just finding out? he would come to increase tax with nothing to show for it, with all the Tax collected from Lagos tell me what the governor is doing with it.
Ibrahimcoomasie: Ifeanyi Ubah to Simon Ekpa 'Observe Sit-At-Home In Your Village, Leave Anambra Alone’.
The Anambra South Senator warned Ekpa whom he said is going about doing his job in Finland on Mondays to stop telling sit at home on Mondays in Anambra State. The lawmaker representing Anambra South in the Senate, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, has told a Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa, to take his sit-at-home crusade to his home state of Ebonyi and leave Anambra State out of it.
Ekpa has been a strong proponent of sit-at-home directives in the South Eastern states despite the mainstream leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, suspending the exercise.
During a stakeholders meeting of the Anambra South zone, Senator Ubah raised security and economic concerns occasioned by the unproductive Monday sit-at-home order calling for an end to it, starting with Nnewi.
The Anambra South Senator warned Ekpa whom he said is going about doing his job in Finland on Monday to stop instructing a sit-at-home order on Mondays in Anambra State.
“I have heard from one Simon Ekpa, this is a warning Simon, for 17 good times you have mentioned Ifeanyi Ubah and I did not reply to you. You have been seeking my attention for 17 good times and I am answering you today, never ever mention Ifeanyi Ubah or Nnewi again.
“Your state Ebonyi is APC state and you have never one day mentioned your state Ebonyi. Ebonyi does not observe sit-at-home, you are in Finland contesting for councillorship or whatever, and you go to your job on Mondays but you want to deprive people because you have communication gadgets, you have the internet to run propaganda.
“I am elected officer of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I represent the people of Anambra South. To you Simon Ekpa and your co-travellers, for anyone of you to mention sit-at-home again, you will start preaching the sit-at-home from Ebonyi before you continue to mention Anambra State and Enugu.
“I am telling you Simon Ekpa, be careful, I won’t say more than this, you have mentioned me 17 times and I’m going to reply once, Try me you will see. Go and observe sit-at-home in Ebonyi and also with your father, your family go and observe sit-at-home in your village and leave Anambra State alone,” Ubah said.
The lawmaker indicated that they would remain steadfast in their decision to annul any sit-at-home directive in spite of attempts by spies to meddle in their affairs.
“As a representative of the people of Anambra State, Nnewi North being the political capital of Anambra South, we deem it fit to say we will not continue to sit at home on Mondays.
“From this Monday, every business based in Nnewi will be open for business. We have our men, we have our system – we know saboteurs will come to sabotage what we are doing but we are resolute to fight any aggressor that will come into this town,” Ubah declared.
Penguin2: After I posted about the maltreatments that the people of Midwest faced under Awolowo’s Western Region which made them clamour for their own region with absolute ferocity, hordes of propagandists expectedly started twisting history and facts, as they are wont to doing, to suggest that the minorities in Old Eastern Region faced equal maltreatment like the people of Midwest but I’m here to disprove that fallacious claim by laying the facts as they are.
Of the three (3) original regions in colonial Nigeria, minorities were best treated in the Old Eastern Region. This was because projects were evenly distributed amongst all provinces of the region.
That was how Michael Okpara, the second Premier of the region after Azikiwe, built such legacy projects in the minority part of region like the popular Obudu Cattle Ranch (Calabar Province), Presidential Hotel, Port Harcourt (Port Harcourt Province), Trans-Amadi Industrial Layout, Port Harcourt (Port Harcourt Province), Calabar Cement Factory (Calabar Province), etc.
Most of these projects are still there today.
Now, can anyone point to a single legacy project built by Awolowo in the then Benin Province?
Do you know that, the Luxurious Hotel Presidential Port Harcourt, is jointly owned by the Govt of Rivers and Bayelsa State.
It was built in 1963 by Michael Okpara, former premier of the Old Eastern region.
Hotel Presidential is managed by Courdeau Nigeria Limited, located in the heart of the Garden City - Port Harcourt, the Capital of Rivers State, Nigeria.
Less than an hour drive from the International and Domestic Airport. Being centrally situated within the business districts and the main shopping areas of the city,
The new eight storey building on the left hand side, was built by the Architect of modern Rivers State, Commander Alfred Diete Spiff.
He did it to shame the Government, and people of East Central State which/who raised hell, over the place of the 7 floor Hotel Presidential in the sharing of Assets belonging to Eastern Nigeria under what was called ESIALA -- Eastern States Internal Assets And Liabilities Commission
After he built it, He (Spiff) told them that they could bring in forklifts and take the old building to Enugu as part of the common assets.
That was why it was allowed to rot for a while before it was refurbished.
