Mariory:
But the people of Lagos and Ogun states are not kidnapping foreigners and killing Nigerians and blaming it on lack of developement.

Thanks oo, Mariory. I could have sworn we were talking about the Niger Delta here. I don't know when Lagos and Ogun states became part of the Niger Delta.

ono:
And talking about governors, please check the records of Donald Duke of Cross Rivers state before you come around here to blow hot air.

What about the other governors ? Odili, Ibori and the infamous Alamiesiegha ?

The last time I heared, It was a N2 billion loan. Where did you get N200 billion from ?

No one said OBJ is a saint. All I said was you should hold the governors accountable too.

In its continual effort to find a lasting solution to the perennial transportation problem in the state,
the Lagos State Government in conjunction with the World Bank is planning to put in place the Light Rail Mass Transit and associated bus services before the end of the year.

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA)’s External Relations Specialist Mr. Kolawole Ojelabi confirmed the sincerity of the state government to embark on the project. Hence in recognition of the magnitude of the project, Lenna International has been assigned to carry out feasibility survey on the workability of the project.

In realising the state government‘s vision, the Light Rail Mass Transit which will be powered by electricity by means of overhead wires would initially make use of Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) track from Iddo, Lagos to Ifo in Ogun state.

In addition 11 stations would either be built or renovated and Iddo Terminal would be converted to a rail interchange while bus services would be introduced from Iddo to Lagos Island.

Lagos state is spearheading a light rail project which will be private-sector driven.

Phase 1 of the project will run from Iddo to Alagbado with further extension to Lagos Island and Ijoko, Ogun state.

I didn't hear anything about a subway proposal for lagos, may be @ topic is referring to this light rail initiative.

I'll provide a link to this as soon as I come across one.

That's partially why we can't move forward in that country, We fail to hold those in charge accountable.

If I am a Niger Delta governor, why wouldn't I steal as much money as possible ? At the end of the day, it is the Presidency that'll get all
the blame, so the hell with the oil producing communities in my state. All I have to do is buy off the State house of Assembly (to avoid impeachment) and settle the royals of the land. Shikena.

I completely get your point BigB1.

When there wasn't an NDDC, na wahala. Now there is NDDC, still na wahala

Lewa,

what about the money received by the Niger Delta Governors ? Abi, is it OBJ's fault that the money is not spent judiciously ? You forgot to mention the million dollar mansion Alamiesiegha owns in the UK and the thousands of pounds caught on him.

what about that ?

The House of Assemblies of the Niger Delta states are doing nothing to stop the looting by their governors. Instead, they are sharing the loot. If not for [Obasanjo's]EFCC, Alamiesiegha would still be there.

My point is that, you can't blame OBJ for everything.

no


how has your day been ?

Orikinla:
OBJ's corrupt government is responsible for the chaos in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.

Years of neglect is what is responsible for the chaos in the Niger Delta, not Obasanjo's government. Abi, did Obasanjo kill Ken Saro-Wiwa ? Under Obasanjo, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) was founded; under Obasanjo, the Niger Delta states are receiving 13% derivation. Rivers state now collects on the average $100 million monthly under Obasanjo's administration.

The problem is, the situation in the Niger Delta is so bad that, it cannot be addressed overnight. But you should stop stating that Obasanjo's government is responsible for the plight of the Niger Delta people. That is just completely wrong.

It really doesn't matter to me.

The only thing is, a woman raised at home (or that has atleast lived there before) is more likely to embrace our culture better, and I do cherish our culture.

But a lady can be raised at home and still be completely incompatible with me on all possible realms.

So, at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter.

Orikinla:
Alhaji Atiku Abubar was stronger than Chief Olusegun Obasanjo even before 1999.
Obasanjo was poor when he came out of prison and suddenly he is now a multimillionaire and millions of naira are being spent to run his Otta farms.

I am not talking about being rich as of 1999, I am talking about clout, credibility, name recognition, track record etc.

Atiku was not well known in Southern Nigeria as of 1999, but Obasanjo, even though broke, was a household name. He had served as a former head of state and was one of the first (if not the first) heads of state in Africa to hand over to a democratically elected government in 1979.

That is credibility and track record for you, and I repeat, Atiku didn't have that in 1999.

alright, later
