brabus:


The last time I checked "Democracy" means “rule of the people”. That means the world over countries that profess to being a democracy reflect the will of the people and government at all levels must work in the best interest of the people. 

It's high time our leaders learn from history and make a serious change to save our communities. What are our priorities?

Is it a flyover that leads no where or motorable roads all over?

You tell us what your priorities are?

If you were allowed to govern, what will you do first?

The OP is mischievous

To start with, it's functional

Even the most beautiful train stations in the western world didn't start out looking as good as they look today

It can be upgraded in future but there's no question about its functionality

It's not the finest I've seen but nevertheless not the ugliest


iterator25: What happened to escalators?


There are several train stations in the UK with stairs with no options for escalators

Besides there are BRT lanes along the same route

It's just another IED

I'm sure if you google 'how to build a rocket' it will throw up something

brabus: I live in Ogun state and I'm yet to see how this is beneficial to common man.

I see road upgrades happening in less than a decade to come. Most of the ongoing road projects in Ogun state are not well thought.

#justsaying #ogunstandard - the pictures they refused to show you

I'm no hater so don't try to prove what you don't know.

Until they give you handouts, not thing government does will be beneficial

If a government decides to fix roads, it's overall effect on the economy is almost immeasurable

Travel time will be reduced, wear and tear or cars will go down, industries and farms can move their produce in less time and at reduced costs etc

Building roads of this quality and width will also ensure government makes savings in rehabilitating and expanding roads in the near future

Punch has always been objective and their print quality is about the best

They also have a well organised system comparable to what you'll find in the US

Although they have to grapple with the challenges of unstable power supply, corrupt government officials struggling to 'kill' information, they've done a pretty good job

Their columnists have criticised almost every person in government such that you can be sure they are not biased

Visionary

Impressive

Laudable

I never really like the design of the terminal building but being a cargo airport, I think it's just good

God bless Ogbeni

Akanbi_edu: FYI op

We now have a slang for our projects, its called "Ogun standard". Awareness is fast spreading. grin grin grin

The standard is high I must confess

Precast drainages are not just cheaper but quality can be easily ensured

God bless Ogun

The topic is about projects in Ogun

If you don't have anything reasonable to say just shut up

If not for amnesty, will you be able to afford a data bundle?

If you have pictures of development in your region, post it

Politics / Re: PDP Vows To Win Lagos In 2015 by geeez: 8:43pm On Nov 24, 2013
As far as the SW is concerned, the PDP isn't welcome

The only language we understand is development

The PDP can't give us that and the closest to it is the APC

Until we find a better alternative, we will stick with the devil we know

Before dem turn Lagos to Abia

ikwere militant: nd yet ur pepl cant aford a bundle of zinc

Is it ironic that they can't afford zinc roofs but can shop the shelves of Shoprite dry?

Isn't it amusing that they can't afford to change their roofs but can buy enough food from KFC to make them open three outlets in one year?

Meanwhile your kinsmen are begging Shoprite to keep their empty outlet in Enugu open

If you took away refineries and oil related industries from the SS, agbameta is correct that there are more industries in Ogun than the SS and SE combined

Sunny_bobo: Not me mate. I'm sorry for the people who'll make use of that trap.

Now, compare that caricature of a bridge to this one in Uyo;

Abeg show us the one your governor has built

The structural design of a bridge is based on the load it's intended to carry and a thick column/pillar doesn't indicate strength

The pics were so large I had to download an app to resize on my iPad

Here's. Ogun

The second pic below is a 107km road spanning three LGAs

Impressive quality

There's a well compacted sub base and a thick base course before the wearing course

Most roads in Nigeria just consist of a graded sub base and wearing course

If this standard was the regular Nigerian standard, the money invested on this road may build four of its type

Politics / Development Projects In Ogun by geeez: 3:46pm On Nov 24, 2013
Just went through the Ogun State Facebook page and I was wowed with pictures of massive development in various parts the state

From Abeokuta, to Ijebu to Sagamu there are evidences of long stretch of quality road projects going on

The quality of also far above the regular Nigerian standard and can match road projects almost anywhere in the world
Politics / Re: The Dearth Of Development In The South-east by geeez: 2:15pm On Nov 24, 2013
Abagworo: Southeast has been receiving the least funds in Nigeria for more than 40 years but we are thriving. Our major problem remains public utilities, urban renewal, pipe-borne water and good refuse disposal in our cities. In terms of housing, Southeast is far ahead of the rest of the country. Our houses look dirty now because of bad roads and secondly some parts that have laterite surface soil that tends to discolor houses after every harmattan. Our economic hopes lies in Anambra and Abia which actually could have been leading the rest of Africa if not for misplaced priorities by successive governments. The biggest mistake was making Awka and Umuahia capital of Anambra and Abia and in that process denying the required formal/public sector from merging with commerce and industry to create a Kano or Ibadan in Igboland where a State capital will be fully commercial and industrial.

Why have I been a major critic of Peter Obi? From every information at my reach, he tried better than the other Governors before him and that is commendable but if he had focused on Onitsha in particular and Nnewi most of Igboland will be affected positively.


Now these are pictures from Aba and Onitsha which was developed through individual efforts without Goverment contribution.

On the average, the SE states get more from the centre than they contribute to it

The same goes for the entire north

Only the SW and SS receive less from the centre than they contribute to it
