Sure lagos state government not the only one paying for the project but foreign partners are investing in this as well. Expect toll fare on the road.

Exactly, It will be tolled, no more free lunch if we must get off oil

Change the change.
Keep it up PDP. All they need is to get a credible nationalist from North who can garner about 35% of northern votes. South West will be divided as usual with PMB getting slight advantage. South East and South South will definitely give PDP 90% votes. Unless Buhari sits up which is good for everyone and good for democracy. Even if PDP doesn't win the presidency, they will definitely reclaim more states and position the party well for 2023. PDP is a party for all and anyone wishing the party dead is an enemy of democracy. The party also needs a disciplined leader. The corruption in PDP only reflects the level of corruption in Nigeria. The corruption that has eaten up even our educational system. Parents now pay people to write common entrance exam for their ward. Yet in all these challenges, no one can deny that Nigeria and Nigerians became better in so many areas. Polio eradication, poverty, strengthening of democratic institutions, job creations, reforms in the banking sector, UBE, telecommunication, standard of living, entertainment and many billionaires emerged . What we need is to pick people based on their political ideology. PDP was not our problem but we are our own problem. You can't go to Enugu state and condemn PDP, even though Amaechi has left PDP, you can't say he didn't try. You can't say Akpabio didn't try. You can't say Yaradua in his short term didn't try. Elrufai was a strong tool in PDP. Late Dora Akunyili did wonders in NAFDAC. The coming of APC gave me joy but their divisive nature is not healthy for Nigeria. We need someone like Yaradua who is educated, visionary, incorruptible, humble and carries everyone along.

You may need to go and wake Yar adua from the grave to get those qualities you are talking about.

Three gbosas for fayose of the news is true. The herdsmen no get liver after all

Metuh no sick again? Abi wetin be this,

E be like say e don well after justice abang do am strong thing

Thank God na fayose, if its PMB, we will be having lectures on how he is killing businesses and creating job losses. smh

Where's Toyin Tomato when you need her?

this one don pass toyin tomato matter o lol

TonyeBarcanista:
I will appreciate if Jonathan's handlers keep him away from the spotlight...



BTW: The talk of him being on exile is hogwash

As an immediate past president, its not possible, truly he is not on exile but on relaxation things, chai, Jona fall hand no be small sir

OrlandoOwoh:
He says he is relaxing in Ivory Coast, don't we have places in Abuja and Calabar (Obudu Cattle Ranch, where some African leaders relax)?

oga, efcc office no far from those places nah? but seriously GEJ is not patronizing made in Nigeria relaxation nah, its not fair at all, how do we grow the naira according to that osaze odemwinge wannabe of a senator

americanigga:
This guy matter just tire me. After holding several positions in Nigerian including being the president for six years, Jonathan still does not know how to talk. No wonder he could not rule. I don't blame him. In life they say you can't give what you don't have. Even Buhari that was accussed of not having primary six certificate talks sence better than a whole doctor, what a shame.

My people have you seen a former American president going to another man's country just to relax?

mhen you no go kill me with laugh fore here o , so the man went on exile truly? chai jona no disappoint as usual

even diezani sef de relax for uk while obanikoro sef de relax for US, but where is sambo relaxing?

fisheries is a very nice course but the problem is that it is not appreciated at all in Nigeria, my advise if you can't change the course, Pls continue and try to come graduate with good grades so you can think of continuing with postgraduate studies abroad in disciplines like ecology and environmental management which are very well appreciated in the western world. if you can come out with a first class, the sky is your starting point.

wike no see innoson motors to buy van

where is ben bruce the twitter senator food don set

Ben bruce is just playing politics to give his party pdp some political mileage, that's all, only gullible folks take ben bruce seriously.

Bayelsa is owing slaries, no word from Ben bruce despite he is from the state but let Lagos owe salaries, twitter will go gaga.

This is the politics we are playing in Nigeria presently

Nothing o My guy. The Judge is only doing his job.

That judge de do metuh strong thing o

modath:
Why do the crime, when you can't do the time?!

Metuh was blowing hot air up and down, open your defence, sickness enter.

even the immediate past NIMASA DG sef no show for court due to the so called sickness, I think its high time we rather sentence all these yam eaters with all manner of sickness from jedi jedi to sleeping sickness

wetin metu do Justice Abang sef,

ckmayoca:
Madam finance this is a good but a tough job oh. Just watch ur back sha.

na PMB de her back o, no shaking unless she sef go touch any yam

subsidy was the only thing that kept these marketers in business, they can never survive without subsidy from Govt, expect a lot of marketers especially the minor ones to fold up soon, all na wash awon ole jatijati

if GEJ stay away, then he has indicted himself and pronounced himself guilty, pls don't compare hi to el rufai or ribadu, are they ex head of states?

This is the time for GEJ to prove if he is really an hero as they say, OBJ never stayed away when he was told he will be arrested by Abacha, despite being offered asylum abroad.

GEJ so called supporters keeps making him un-presidential even after office, na wa o!

if they stop flights completely going to enugu now, the thread go reach 100 pages within few minutes. God help us in Nigeria

Fayose and his party are a very big disappointment, they claim GEJ removed subsidy and was heavily opposed then, what now stop Fayose with all his noise to motivate the NLC, civil and human rights organisations to organise massive protests this time around like we saw at ojota then.

Does he expect friends and admirers of the present Govt to carry out protests against the fuel hike? The non resistance to the fuel hike by the PDP just shows we don't have an opposition at all but just noise makers like Fayose.

If I may ask Fayose, what has all his noise in the last one year achieve? is he really putting the FG on its toes as his admirers are claiming. Personally am so dissappointed with the way the FG had an easy ride to get away with the fuel hike despite the acclaimed justification at all.

It just shows we can never have a vibrant opposition, whoever thinks otherwise is a huge joke

the truth is the younger generation of traditional rulers like sanusi and this ooni of ife had very enterprising lives where they gallivant here and there before they ascended their thrones, sitting their arse in a palace all year round is damn too boring so I can understand their predicament..

Reason I don't envy these obas these days, we call it royalty but to folks like sanusi and the ooni, they feel they have been imprisoned for life. I bet they are not finding it funny at all. They are only happy on the day of coronation bu after that, mhen na hell o

wow, I can see Fashola's haters have a field day here, eku ise o

anonimi:
This is at least the second time that I have something positive worthy of acknowledgement in our current president's administration.
You can search my posts/threads here if in doubt.
(Un)fortunately there are too many negatives that his net performance is gross FAILURE.

so PMB is not a devil after all as claimed by you guys, nice to know, even your hero's performance was a gross failure hence he was kicked out

tansho:
The ministers told us they were willing to work for free, even without pay, before their swearing in. So lack of accommodation can't be an issue now

true talk, I remembered this very well

anonimi:
This is one good thing that our president has done.
Every Nigerian, in particular Abuja residents, should be very happy about this and encourage him to stick to his guns.
Why?
This should have ripple effect of decreasing the astronomical, unrealistic RENT on houses and flats in the FCT.
The ministers are not complaining about NO accommodation.
Not at all.
They are complaining of not being paid enough money for a DECENT accommodation.
How much do civil servants paid on a minimum wage of N18,000 have for accommodation?

BTW, how much is the SALARY of a governor in four/eight years for the former governors- Fashola, Amaechi & Fayemi- to be able to pay for DECENT accommodation in Abuja?
How much
Why should the Oyo state governor pay N2 million to the minister from his state when he is owing salaries of workers in the state?
Under what BUDGET line did he pay that money from?
Is this not CORRUPTION?
Kachikwu and the other ministers need to be told the truth =>

Somebody wake me up, anonimi, you mean you wrote this? when did you start praising PMB? This must be a film trick chai

The yeye monetary policy by the obj regime where public officials go away with their houses and vehicles for a chicken fee is the bane of all this drama. There should be permanent official quarters for public officers instead of wasting tax payers money on accommodation in every tenure

Just one year after leaving power, PDP is no where to be found just because of inaccessibility to our precious yams.

So much for so the called opposition, am so sure they don't even know the definition of that word 'opposition'

Na to de shout witch hunt be their own opposition, smh

bjdon:
When the federal govt took over all the land in the country via the Land Use decree many people did not complain as it did not affect them. The main reason the FG did that was to take control of the oil in the south which was then mainly onshore.

No that the same laws are being used to seize land for cattle grazing people are starting to make noise. I hope you can all know see what happens when you allow one injustice to occur, over time it simply breeds more injustice.

What is happening with the Herdsmen needs to be a wake up call to South. The North is over populated and the Sahara is rapidly encroching on their land. They are going to start moving south in ever larger numbers. This is just a fact. I will not be surprised if in a few years time, we see the FG allocate lands in the south for 'The resettlement of victims of climate change'. These people are very very cleaver and they think long term. If we don't resist this evil so called grazing bill and give full support to people like Faysoe, then one day we'll wake up and find whole areas in the South have been carved out for others and now have Emirs. Southerners shine your eyes!!

that is why we have legislators from the south in the National assembly to check these excesses, but alas they only know how make noise on twitter

It is normal for anyone to sympathize with his fellow human being on account of loss of a beloved one, normal human beings will put their differences aside. It could have been el-rufai or anybody.
