Sade Adu is so fine

Didn’t know she was actually born in Ibadan. Thank you tonim

Sade has such a beautiful voice. I always thought she was born in the UK
to a yoruba father.

Thank you tonim for the wonderful contribution you are making to this thread.

Hhmm. If only Aketi didn't abandon the new stadium and the other one in Ile-Oluji. It's even more shameful that there's no government presence in Ondo city(Ondo state second largerst city at that). Even Akure literally have nothing to show as the state capital other than population. Ondo state is too underdeveloped for my liking. Ondo state is an oil producing state for heaven sake. The only good thing about the state is just good roads. Nothing else to show for the Oil, cocoa and fish. Aketi should do more.

I agree. Segun Mimiko tried modernizing the state ( I know he had issues paying salaries), Aketi did not continue
from where he left off.

There is no reason to justify abandoning the new stadium.

Lagos Marriott Hotel, Ikeja GRA, Lagos.

Wow

Money is a good thing o, this place is wonderful chai

Abeokuta needs a large central park with beautiful trees, green lawn, lake/pond etc. Similar to Agodi
Gardens in Ibadan.

It can be built in two or three phases to spread out costs.

The govt can partner with the private sector.

People would drive from Lagos for the fresh air and beauty of nature.

It would also boost tourism ( and IGR) for Ogun State.

It is long overdue. It would be a beautiful thing I swear.

Edited

Why does the title have to say bombshell?

What Reno said is the truth.

Thank you Reno Omokri.

The other day, Ex President Jonathan stated that only the South west region has properly managed
its diversity in Nigeria.


Question - Why all the praise for South west all of a sudden?

Factshunter:
Done!

Thank you

Lovely pictures by the way.

Factshunter:
Heyy

@Factshunter, Please label the pictures for those that don’t know this is Abeokuta. Thank you

Ex Gov Amosun built those connecting pedestrian bridges. He tried in Abeokuta sha.

Tonim:
Aerodrome GRA, Ibadan

Aerodrome is a very pricy neighborhood in Ibadan. I wish I could get a drone
view of the area to showcase its tranquility.

Aerodrome is very expensive. Be prepared to spend millions to live there.

Arnold1:
Adeleke University is owned by Davido’s father. Very nice structures.

Afe Babalola University has a very good law school. Beautiful campus.

Even though private Universities are expensive, enrollment is pretty high
Especially in the renowned ones.

There is money in Nigeria abeg.

That is why some people are hell bent on keeping Nigeria one. They benefit
a lot from the current set up.

I love the pictures on this thread. It show cases the beauty of the South west

Those who say only Lagos is developed in the SW have been terribly put to shame

Gov Abiodun, please try and spread development across the state (not just the capital). To be successful,
you need to have a well thought out road map/master plan and work with very bright minds.

Some people complain about loans, but there is nothing wrong with taking loans when it is put to
good use. The thing is, loans must be properly managed so that at any given time, loan servicing
is never above 15% of state revenue. This is why Obasanjo’s govt created the debt management
office (DMO) when he was president.

A lot of the great projects you see in Lagos were completed using debt. Ogun can do the same.


I am rooting for you Governor and wish you the best.

52 Weeks of Building Our Future Together" is a documentation, or perhaps a compendium, of what we have been able to achieve within the first year of our Administration. Though it is not yet Uhuru, we are proud of the legacy projects that we can showcase as pointers to our determination to make Ogun State a better, mutually prosperous place for investors, foreigners, Nigerians and autochthonous citizens of the State.


Beyond physical, psychological and formal security initiatives, Ogun State under our watch is powered by the dictum and initiatives encapsulated under the acronym I-S-E-Y-A:



I -Infrastructure

S - Social Welfare and Wellbeing

E - Education

Y - Youth Development

A - Agriculture and Food Security

Gov Abiodun needs to fix Ogun’s roads and boost internally generated revenue. He needs some bright
minds to help in the IGR initiative.

Look at the IGR in Lagos from 1999 to the present date. Why not hire the people that worked
with Tinubu, Fashola as consultants?

Our leaders don’t rub minds together well in the SW ( and Nigeria in general).


Ogun should be benefitting tremendously from its close proximity to Lagos.

Tonim:
I double, triple even quadruple love Ibadan.

I love Ibadan very much as well.

Abeokuta

Very nice estates. Beautiful finishings.

walefresh3:
Alaro City is an integrated, mixed-use city planned for over 2,000 hectares(1.25 x the size of Victoria Island) in the Lekki Free Zone. Alaro City has areas for offices, logistics and warehousing, homes, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, entertainment and 150 hectares of parks and open spaces.

Located in the North West Quadrant of the Lekki Free Zone, Alaro City is ideally situated on the Lekki-Epe Expressway for ease of transportation to Lagos or towards the rest of Nigeria.

Quotas

Alaro City is a partnership between Lagos State Government and Rendeavour. The city works with a number of global and Nigerian organisations to deliver a world-class city.

Cost of land in Alaro City:

500 Sqm at a sale price of $50,000 or NGN 18 Million

750 Sqm at a sale price of $75,000 or NGN 27 Million

1,000 Sqm at a sale price of $ or NGN 36 Million

Investment

May God bless us with money o. US$75,000 for 750 sqm of land!

That’s around N30 miilion naira.

The place will be very very nice when completed, but confined to the rich.

Gov Seyi Makinde is building two terminals at Iwo road interchange, Ibadan

See rendering below (before & after).

Wow! Looking forward to the commissioning. Kudos to the Governor.

Akure, Ondo State

First picture - Alagbaka, Akure.

Akure looks lovely!

Great thread

Good job Gov Abiodun

Tonim:
The Governors do not control the police, the army/military, the DSS etc. The federal government does.

Buhari knows this!

Even the regional security outfits such as Amotekun, cannot procure military grade weapons, artilery, surveillance
devices like helicopters, drones etc like the police, military, dss.

Security wise, the Governors are virtually at the mercy of the federal government the way Nigeria
is currently structured.

Very true!

Mods please delete this thread

Thanks to Aregbesola

Oga, this your dialect, are you from ondo state?

This is very nice. I wish I can visit there. RIP Sir.

May the lord be with you Mr Ekekwe. I am glad for his compensation.

Honestly speaking, I am in total disbelief. It seems like the story is true after all

ggood:
There is nothing like Yoruba Muslim or Christian , The last time I checked they are all Yorubas, Mumuric should go and sit down if the North will northern Christians to rule then Yoruba Muslim will rule too

God bless you.

Let me repeat incase some non-yorubas missed it - “There is nothing like Yoruba Muslim or Christian...they are all Yorubas”.

Anything coming from MURIC should be ignored please.
