He was with the new Govornor yesterday or is it today. And they said his son or is it his daughter is getting married this weekend..Life sha

veekid:
Everything you said here, on point, but you see that number 3? That's a joke. Come to Iwo road and see things yourself. That terminal is far away from finishing by the end of this year, maybe you mean by the end of 2023 sha, but not this 2022.

I meant to say next year sha. I think early next year should do. I think na roofing level them dey as they don roof some places. Na the same company Planet project dey build for other states too.

Next year should do

Simeonjoe1:
Not bad.. Kaduna too is not sleeping.
Just this year alone it has drawn investment worth over 500 million dollars in H1.
Investors are trooping in with massive investment.

Well this is what state governments should be doing. It should all be about competition using their comparative local advantage, exploiting it to maximize income generation.
Just like the VP said its high time states starts to view themselves as a sovereign nation, thinking creatively as if theirs no federal allocation.

Yeah. Actually even with FDI's Oyo too is doing excellently well more than Kaduna. The last release by the NBS showed Lagos, Abuja,Anambra and Oyo being the only states that got FDI.

However I still give it to Kaduna. Dude tried sha from where he got it. It was Oguns commissioner of finance that he got that did the magic for him. Don't know why other states during his time did not try to copy that too

Simeonjoe1:
Nah Oyo can never force kaduna out.
Kaduna should enter top 5 ranking in the next 10yrs. Almost half of all igr in the NW is filled by kaduna. As of 2015 kaduna is generating 12 billions. Now it's 80 billion.
Elrufai is one hell of a politician, guy is performing wonders in his state.
seems to be a revolutionary,

Lol. I can tell you categorically that Oyo is forcing out Kaduna and Delta out in the next one year and will be in the top four. You can see he is already close to Kaduna with just a few millions. This is 2021 and not 2022. Let me tell you what the Oyo state government is doing that will shock you in a year from now


1. The upgrade of the Ibadan airport to international standard. The Oyo state government is currently doing a massive upgrade of the Ibadan airport with a 500,000 litre capacity aviation fuel tank. This should be commissioned October/November.
With this planes will be diverted to Ibadan and not Ghana when the Lagos runway is full. More international airlines will come and fly from into Ibadan and not Lagos. Because there are facilities on ground to enable their operation.
You can fly from Ibadan to the US,the UK, Dubai etc and travel time will be cut off by going to Lagos. The airport road is also currently being dualised and the major road from Ibadan to Osun state is also being done and dualised. This is actually being done by Oyo and Osun states to enhance travellers coming in from Osun to fly from Ibadan

2.The Ibadan Circular road. This will be completed in about a year from now. The first phase is about 32KM and will also cur travel from people coming from the North passing through Ibadan. You do not need to pass through the city anymore, You are to bypass the Ibadan Circular road and burst out through asejire or burst out to the Lagos/Ibadan expressway way depending on where you are going. The road is currently being done by Craneburg and it will be tolled. And the tolling alone will be making billions monthly for the Oyo state government

3. The Bus terminals. Just two out of four are already commissioned this year and it is bring in huge returns for the government. The other two at Iwo road which is the biggest after that of oshodi in Lagos will be completed before the end of the year. So I can tell you a year from now when all these projects are completed, Oyo will be top four and be competing with the likes of Ogun. Would have left Kaduna ad Delta far behind

Goke7:
With proximity to Lagos, Ogun should be generating at least 300b am not impressed.

This is my state so am concerned

Rome wasnt built in a day. You should be grateful it is moving in leaps and bounds in Ogun and that is due to the ingenuity of Amosun. In 2011, Oyo was earning more IGR than Ogun. Ogun was earning less than 800Million or so. 8years later Oyo only added 1Billion in 8years. Instead of trying to increase it,the Govornor then was only trying to fight traditional stools most especially the Olubadan
Amosun came in and took it to about 10billion monthly before he left. Infact his commissioner of finance was called Mr IGR then and states tried to copy the amosun model. Kaduna actually did which payed off for them. Today in less than 3years Oyo has almost overtaken Kaduna and I know by the time that of 2022 is released Oyo would have overtaken Kaduna and Delta and be competing with Ogun

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/05/oguns-monthly-igr-hits-n4bn-n730m-2011/

I am actually bothered about that of Oyo. Oyo keeps growing in leaps and bounds since 2019. From Number 13 in 2019 to Number 7 in 2021. It has overtaken Edo and very close to Kaduna. By the time that of 2022 will be released it will have overtaken kaduna and Delta. and be competing with Ogun. It will take a quantum leap when the first phase of the Ibadan circular road is completed as the road will be tolled and it will be the first road to be tolled in Oyo

BarryH:
But if a female inmate asked for it, will it be considered a crime since she's not underaged? prisoners are humans too and have blood running through their veins, body no be firewood na

Abi o. Man dey suffer sha.

trutharena:
Whether in 2001 or 2023, Tinubu is still a top contender and the best candidate with the best track record among the four top contenders today.

God bless Asiwaju Tinubu.
The next president of Nigeria.

Lmao. In other southwestern states in the Southwest. .Model schools were built too so it isn't a big deal if Lagos that was already earnin billions in 1999 built this. In Oyo state,Lam adeshina built model schools. Free education was declared and Junior Waec fees were paid

It was a manifesto of the then AD government in the SW. So if lesser states can do this in 1999 what is stopping the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria to build a normal school something other states were building. I mean he built just four model schools in a Lagos that had twenty local governments. The arrangement was for it to be built in twenty local government but just four were built while money for the rest was embezzled and you now turned it into a big deal? Four model schools in 8years. You should go and cover your face. Wahali

Did he build Lasu? Or was he the one that built Laspotech? Or did he built Luth? I mean these are the achievements of the best Govornor of Lagos state which is baba kekere himself yet nobody shouts and rants. He now build just four schools,schools that were also built in Oyo state yet we no hear word.

I can't blame you,when instead of him building legacy education project he was busy grabbing Laspotech land which he gave to his TV station TVC

Nonesense and Buhari

Wetin we wan dey talk about if we are not fucccking ourselves?

Abeg enough of all these questions jare

aieromon:
Fact.

My dad was one of the winners of a 3 bedroom flat. The flat came furnished with bunk beds, ceiling fans and mattresses.

Proudly Festac Baby.

Thank you. I know I won't go far before someone confirms what I said.

Reflect7:
FESTAC VILLAGE

I remember FESTAC VILLAGE as it was when it was first built for the 20,000 black diaspora who stormed Nigeria for the event. From Ghana, South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Jamaica, USA, Barbados, Cuba, Brazil, Antigua, Haiti, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Grenada, Bahamas, etc etc.

When you entered FESTAC then, it was like somewhere in Los Angeles! Clean roads with sidewalks, and folks strolling around, taking pictures etc.

IN FACT, THE WHOLE OF LAGOS WAS BUBBLING. YANKEE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, IN THE CLUBS, BARS, HOTELS, RESTAURANTS, THE BEACH, THE STREETS, EVERYWHERE.


Facilities

''A housing estate known as Festac Village was constructed as accommodation for about 17,000 participants. However, the long-term objective of the village under the Federal Housing Programme was to relieve some of the housing pressure in Lagos. The housing estate was proposed for construction within two years, with more than 40 contractors working on different sites of the project. In total 5,088 dwelling units were built prior to the festival and an additional 5,687 were to be completed by the end of 1977. During the festival, the housing estate was the venue for performance rehearsals and interaction by participants as various troupes rehearsed their routines in the day and at night.

For hosting the performances and lectures, a state-of-the-art multipurpose national theatre was built, to serve also as a lasting centre of African art and culture. The theatre's design was based on the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, Bulgaria. The new complex had two exhibition halls, a 5,000-capacity performance and event hall, a conference hall with 1,600 seats and two cinema halls. The theatre hosted dance, music, art exhibitions, cinema, drama and the colloquium.'' - Wiki

When we remind them that the federal government of Nigeria made Lagos them go dey cry. Festac 77 made Festac and it's environs what it is till date. The flats that were built then given off to residents of Lagos by the federal government through a very transparent raffle draw. An Elderly family friend of ours won a flat for about the prize of is it twenty naira or ten naira then. A complete 3bedroom flat

My dear brother Omolola15 can you employ this type of individual to run your company? If you can't,why do you want him for us as a Nation?

And why is he always saying gibberish in public?

No wonder they keep on hiding him

They don realize before us say no be achievement na we still dey carry am for head like Gala

They can see the handwriting on the wall they are now running kitikiti running katakata. They went to sleep for 8years. The citizens did the job of opposition. They were useless in government and useless out of government. Instead of even doing the right thing and give obi the ticket for a better chance them still go give Mr Dubai.

Bunch of Swines

Lmao.

feedthenation:
The New York Times separately reported on Wednesday that Trump aide Walt Nauta was captured on security camera footage from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach moving boxes out of a storage area at the center of the investigation. He was an Military Aide at the WH during Trump's administration, before he went to work privately with Trump.

Dude is already toast. There is no way he is getting out of this.

A Trump employee has told federal agents about moving boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago at the specific direction of the former president, according to people familiar with the investigation, who say the witness account — combined with security-camera footage — offers key evidence of Donald Trump’s behavior as investigators sought the return of classified material.

The witness description and footage described to The Washington Post offer the most direct account to date of Trump’s actions and instructions leading up to the FBI’s Aug. 8 search of the Florida residence and private club, in which agents were looking for evidence of potential crimes including obstruction, destruction of government records or mishandling classified information.

https://wapo.st/3EIrDIS

Breaking news: The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to reinstate Judge Aileen Cannon’s order that a special master review classified documents taken in an FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s Florida home and private club. There were no noted dissents.

Tunjibalogun:
The insecurity is different from ipob oo. Criminala operating in South East fit even kill kanu if he goes back to the east

Naa,if they release him,it will be calm things down a great deal in the SE. That is nothing but the truth as nobody can hide under any stupid and silly Ipob to cause mayhem again

Or maybe he has taken the part of peace himself . We wait and see if he is released cos I no still trust Buhari 100percent

NwaIdeato:
Just when Obi is gaining momentum the Federal government did a secret negotiation with Kanu to release him on the condition that he frustrates Obi's political aspirations...a tale older than time.

I doubt if it can frustrate Obi. It will even galvanise it being that he will be released hopefully and the end to Mondays sit at home and the insecurity going on there.

But we wait and see

Just saw it on his lawyer's FB page now now..
What will this Judgement protend for next year's election?

We wait and see!

Oluremi sonaiya. Wanted to vote for her 2015 . I wasn't interested in voting either Jonathan nor Buhari cause I knew it was disaster waiting to happen and yes it did

The Iseyin Man as the CJN

9japride:
The question people are not asking is that was she skating on pedestrian walkway or on vehicular way? I am sure she was skating on vehicular way before the lecturer met her. If she's guilty in the aspect of skating on vehicular way, then she should calm down because she has no case. But if she was skating on pedestrian walkway, then she has every right to skate there. Let's view this issue more logical.

Don't mind them. Instead of them to look at things critically they will just be jumping. The foolish girl was skating on the main road and yes she was endegering the lives of everyone. Herself and motorists. Herself particularly because of crazy drivers who drive anyhow but instead of her to do the right thing she still dey ask for conversation.

Go and do your skating in either your house or the stadium and not on a main road.

Nonesense!
