It all boils down tho the fact that we don’t plan our life’s, firstly I will blame the father for allowing the mother take such action, you should not feel comfortable for your child to be out her mother reach for 2 hours for the first 6-8month of his/her life, at that stage they need all the care and attention. For me no external care until 2yrs plus.

When the political will is there to get job done ; project will be done. Politics play a greater role in all sector of this country. 4days ago CCECC section iv has be calling all sub contractors to come back to work , promising to pay as at when due. You can see from Hon Amaechi submission on the ibadan-Kano where he promised things will be done differently in terms of payment and supervison. It shows they are aware of the ill treatment they melt on we the Nigeria contractors when it comes to payment patterns. It’s an amazing experience working on the rail project, can’t wait for the ibadan-Kano to commence, it’s always a time to contribute our quote, employ youth and make plenty LALA �

The coastal rail project is on course, Fg and Russian partners are on it already. A lot is involve in the design stage of a rail project not to talk of the main work, we will definitely get there, faster with a more positive political will. Presently the minister for transportation is very passionate about this project that is why we can achieve this little amidst all bottlenecks and Naija factor.

But I can bet that we will need Amotekun to protect these raliway lines against the invading herdsmen who might wanna load up these trains with their cattles someday.

You are right thou, but we have a few Nigeria contractors working too but the major challenge is financing. The nature of the contract on the rail is without mobilizations, you finish then your work is evaluated and certified before you are paid, but where do you get the friendly loan in due time when you have fellow Chinese contractors with sufficient funds at 0% from the exim bank as competitors. Personally am proud to be part of this project and we are putting in our best at the section iv km121-157.

Agriculture / Re: Ondo Government To Build N42bn Egg Powder Plant In Owo by Hoogee(m): 5:28am On Jul 17, 2019
please can you enlighten me more on this with respect with to the commencement of the project. Am fully aware when the project was lunched sometimes ago which was later rumoured that the company was no more coming after the flag off in which the governor of CBN was in attendance then. Please furnish us with up-to-date information so that we can be of benefit in the construction stage while contributing our intellectual and productive capacity to the development of the area,state,region and nigeria at large.Thanks
Sanromeo:
THE Ondo State government, under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement between it and Greenfield Assets Limited, has launched the siting of an egg powder plant valued at N42bn in the state.


The plant which will be situated at Emure-Ile, near Owo will provide 25,000 new jobs, a foreign exchange earning of $1 billion in addition to increased income for poultry farmers in Nigeria.

The factory is expected to sit on a 150 hectares of land and will produce 10 million broilers per annum with a 4,000 birds per hour meat processing plant; a 600,000 layers farm for the production 100 million eggs per annum; two 20 tons per hour Feed-mill and a 500,000 eggs per day.


Chief Executive Officer of Greenfield Asset Limited, Dr Paul Obanua, while speaking at the ceremony expressed joy at the siting of the factory in Ondo State and noted that within a year, the first phase of the project will be commissioned.

Obanua, who noted that the plant can process over one million eggs a daily basis stressed that the the product, after being processed into liquid form, an last for 18 months.

Speaking at the event, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele expressed delight that the Ondo State government was implementing appropriate measures to make the state a viable destination for local and foreign investment.

Emefiele expressed the readiness of the bank to support the state government to promote small scale entrepreneurs.

He maintained that the project will in no small measure drive the economic growth of the state and by extension the nation, reduce unemployment and increase social cohesion.


The CBN governor said that the project would also help to support the Buhari led government’s determination to increase local production of critical agricultural produce and reduce drastically importation of items that the country can produce.


He lauded efforts of Governor Oluwarotimi the Akeredolu for looking beyond oil and embracing agriculture to drive and change the economic status of the state.

Governor Akeredolu said the powdered egg factory would have great economic impact on the state and the nation at large as the only producer of such product in West Africa.

He said the project would attest to his administration’s determination to industrialise the state.

The governor added that the project is a clear demonstration of his campaign promises to the people and charged the political class in the state to be resolute in effecting positive change in the lives of the people.

The Elemure of Emure Ile, Oba Adedubaje Adeyefa thanked the governor and the company for bringing such huge investment to his domain and pledged their full loyalty to the Akeredolu led government.

The minister is really passionate about the project, and he his putting a lot of pressure on CCECC, the heat is getting to CRCC which get to all subcontractors and workers on section iv (omi Adio - moniya) where i am, am a nairalader and one of the youngest subcontractors on section iv. I can boldly say TEAM which is the Nigeria consulting firm for the project is doing a fantastic job in ensuring the project is well carried out in compliance with the design and BOQ.
The project will have move faster than this if we have a system that works like that of the Chinese where u can walk to any bank as a contractor and get loan 2-3% within days.

I come to site on Sundays after services and i do night occasionally,working on this project is a privilege,it's an avenue to learn,opportunity to contribute my qoute to the development of my country by constructing according to the drawing and specification and we are doing a fantastic job.

Personally I think the shooting is uncall for, I see this as victimisation of the people around there.
This is may fair/lagere road from what I see, I can sight slot , ace supermarket, airtel and the rest, and from where I am here in ibadan I can guess the person that record this, did so from a building with the red aluminium roofing, if you Google map it out on your phone you will see it's the only storey building opposite and adjacent to slot, the caption indicates its recorded from the first floor.
Another angle to this is that the security agencies might be pre-emting possible breakdown of law and order there by creating awareness that they are fully on ground to who ever my be nursing such.

Kindly make use of alternative route as trailer loaded with iron scrap blocks the express at felele bypass few metres from shoka bridge. The tailer break fails while accending the hill part of the road, causing heavy traffic. A young man hanging on the trailer escape unhurt while the other two got injured.

Politics / Sowore And The Ile Ife Palace: A Shift In The Offing. (akin Rimson) by Hoogee(m): 11:54am On Sep 16, 2018
SOWORE and the ILE IFE PALACE: A shift in the offing.

Opinions, suggestions, comments and ideas are rife. They are flying left, right and centre in respect of what transpired at the palace of the highly respected Ooni of Ife during the visit of the popular face of the youth presidential aspirant of the AFRICAN ACTION CONGRESS(AAC).

AS controversial as the matter is... we certainly can't shy away from discussing it as it indeed represent a mileage in our national discourse as a cultural people.

While a section of the populace sees it as a taboo to complain of maltreatment or debasement once a KING is involved, A section of the Nigerian people held on to the belief that we MUST all be answerable for our CORNER SPACE if truely Nigeria must succeed irrespective of our position of authority.

In all fairness,the position of a king is not only an epitome of cultural heritage but one that deserves the necessary respect.

Some says the respect for the thrones in Africa is "total and absolute without question asked and no answer provided" ...and that's where SOWORE went wrong for daring to ask questions as to why nobody attended to him and his "take it back team" for an incredible four hours.

How dare you to protest your perceived ill treatment?....we don't ask questions here....we accept all conditions as ditched out by the royal palace!....then the tear gas went off as a punishment for TEAM SOWORE just almost immediately they completed the symbolic prostration of greeting the KING.

Well,this is 21st century and no one is an arbiter of common Sense all alone....this is why the "Yoruba would say OMODE gbon, AGBA gbon ohun ni a fi da Ile Ife! " ...This literally translate that: Ile Ife ONLY SUCCEEDED in its trying Time because the wisdom of both YOUNG & OLD was tapped into! ....so, after all ...the YOUTHS ain't dumb as the current set of Nigerian elders who held our destinies by the jungular would have us believe.

In my so journey through the realities of our dying nation,I have had the opportunity of being at the Ooni's palace in my days as an undergraduate at the Obafemi Awolowo University located in that sprawling ancient city.

Although,this was in the era of the then OBA SIJUADE...but I want to believe that the protocols couldn't have changed so much such that the litany of work force/members of staff of the palace had no single person to attend to a presidential aspirant who wasn't there without the initial palace approval of his visit.

We all have our worries,the same way a die hard fan of the palace would feel that no one ask questions in the palace...so also will a non palace fan would want to know if the Ooni would dare keep Bola Tinubu for four hours without explanation... remember that Tinubu isn't even contesting, would the king also keep a contesting Atiku,Saraki,Buhari for four hours without an explanation... not even one from a palace guard?

Not all Nigerian believe in the palace politics and that's the truth because they would argue that the slave trade succeeded mostly because some KINGS were trade partners with the slave masters. While the AFRICAN KINGS were selling their subjects...the Europeans where buying...what has changed?.... nothing! Because fast forward to political era ...while Abacha/Obj/Tinubu/Ibori was willing to deposit our destinies...SWISS BANK is ever ready to ACCEPT.

All said and done,our opinions will always be biased depending on which angle you want to look at it from. But looking at it from OMOYELE SOWORE's angle....he had said he's not coming to play the conventional politics that we are all used to and those of us following him knew this already that's why we bought into it. He said that he was coming to play DISRUPTIVE POLITICS....a politics that ask questions and rejected all unfavorable conditions at ALL TIMES. A politics that answer questions and give explanation to all AT ALL TIMES.

So,if he had not deviated from his style of disruptive politics then there would be no need to crucify the ONLY REALISTIC presidential aspirant on board 2019.

I understand those who feel he is arrogant for never being scared to call out anyone,but then that's what you chose to see in that package of disruptive politics.

If you ask me and the millions of youths whose destinies has been tampered with by those in authorities...we will tell you that the REAL ARROGANCE is not in SOWORE...we will tell you that it is in
*A DAVID MARK who had all the privileges as an army general ...he didn't change Nigeria,he had all the privileges as a Senate president ...he didn't change Nigeria ...now he wants to be president in 2019 after supervising the kidnapping of our dreams and glories of Nigerians.
*The real arrogance is in a BUHARI who was the governor of the then North east,he was busy then promoting clannishness, illiteracy, religion fanaticism while his mates were promoting merit and education...the result is the current north east infested with Boko Haram,mass illiteracy,terrorism and a global roll of honor as the most backward place on Earth...the same thing he's currently repeating and yet he wants to be president in 2019!
*The real arrogance is found in Saraki who's father gave a befitting education as a former Senate leader ...even though his family supervised the looting of a whole bank to death,he wasn't satisfied but still went on as a two time governor and a Senate president....now he wants to be president in 2019....did he change Kwara state? ...the list is endless irrespective of their party. All Nigerian past and present rulers are the NATIONAL PROBLEM of NIGERIA.
The former governors are no exceptions.

But I can understand that our self esteems has been so battered that we no longer believe in our ability to say NO!.... it's now a culture to defend our oppressors!

You will see a grown up man with an M.SC saying what has SOWORE achieve in life to qualify him into presidency? ...yet he's quick to defend a present president whose only achievement outside government feeding bottle is 150pcs of sterile cows in the name of farming.

Insanity isn't far from everyone I meet on the street daily in Nigeria except something drastic is done.

Challenging the status quo is not a tea party,if Sowore isn't doing it well...you can better advise than condemn ...these are two different things, such words as,'he has lost my vote or my support on this palace disrespect' ....he has lost my vote/support because he seems arrogant becomes a condemnation rather than advise if truely you want a shift from this present and past criminals who cannot even manage ordinary TRAFFIC in and out of Apapa sea port talkless of generating a single megawatt. ...And in all honesty,have u ever been respected before? By who? ...the goal post had shifted for 58yrs ... that's why cattles are more important than you in 2019.so where's the respect? ....I beg park well.

If we don't take the country forcefully from the real arrogant goons...they would rather hand over to a foreign coach once they are Belle ful....

Remember that's not a novelty...we do it in football,they will one day say it's the next option ...we will only find one clean English to polish it so that it won't look recolonization.

Julius Malema of the EFF in South Africa didn't hide his character and mission and only those who want expropriation of land without compensation are on board because they believe that since the land was forcefully taken from the black south Africans by the invading whites...it should also be returned now WITHOUT compensating the white guys for loosing it.
Take it or leave it....this is the apt scenario between the Nigerian ruling class and her long suffering citizens. SOWORE is our own Julius Malema.

But looking at it from OMOYELE SOWORE's angle....he had said he's not coming to play the conventional politics that we are all used to and those of us following him knew this already that's why we bought into it. He said that he was coming to play DISRUPTIVE POLITICS....a politics that ask questions and rejected all unfavorable conditions at ALL TIMES. A politics that answer questions and give explanation to all AT ALL TIMES.

So,if he had not deviated from his style of disruptive politics then there would be no need to crucify the ONLY REALISTIC presidential aspirant on board 2019.

I understand those who feel he is arrogant for never being scared to call out anyone,but then that's what you chose to see in that package of disruptive politics.

If you ask me and the millions of youths whose destinies has been tampered with by those in authorities...we will tell you that the REAL ARROGANCE is not in SOWORE...we will tell you that it is in
*A DAVID MARK who had all the privileges as an army general ...he didn't change Nigeria,he had all the privileges as a Senate president ...he didn't change Nigeria ...now he wants to be president in 2019 after supervising the kidnapping of our dreams and glories of Nigerians.
*The real arrogance is in a BUHARI who was the governor of the then North east,he was busy then promoting clannishness, illiteracy, religion fanaticism while his mates were promoting merit and education...the result is the current north east infested with Boko Haram,mass illiteracy,terrorism and a global roll of honor as the most backward place on Earth...the same thing he's currently repeating and yet he wants to be president in 2019!
*The real arrogance is found in Saraki who's father gave a befitting education as a former Senate leader ...even though his family supervised the looting of a whole bank to death,he wasn't satisfied but still went on as a two time governor and a Senate president....now he wants to be president in 2019....did he change Kwara state? ...the list is endless irrespective of their party. All Nigerian past and present rulers are the NATIONAL PROBLEM of NIGERIA.
The former governors are no exceptions.

But I can understand that our self esteems has been so battered that we no longer believe in our ability to say NO!.... it's now a culture to defend our oppressors!

You will see a grown up man with an M.SC saying what has SOWORE achieve in life to qualify him into presidency? ...yet he's quick to defend a present president whose only achievement outside government feeding bottle is 150pcs of sterile cows in the name of farming.

Insanity isn't far from everyone I meet on the street daily in Nigeria except something drastic is done.

Challenging the status quo is not a tea party,if Sowore isn't doing it well...you can better advise than condemn ...these are two different things, such words as,'he has lost my vote or my support on this palace disrespect' ....he has lost my vote/support because he seems arrogant becomes a condemnation rather than advise if truely you want a shift from this present and past criminals who cannot even manage ordinary TRAFFIC in and out of Apapa sea port talkless of generating a single megawatt. ...And in all honesty,have u ever been respected before? By who? ...the goal post had shifted for 58yrs ... that's why cattles are more important than you in 2019.so where's the respect? ....I beg park well.

If we don't take the country forcefully from the real arrogant goons...they would rather hand over to a foreign coach once they are Belle ful....

Remember that's not a novelty...we do it in football,they will one day say it's the next option ...we will only find one clean English to polish it so that it won't look recolonization.

Julius Malema of the EFF in South Africa didn't hide his character and mission and only those who want expropriation of land without compensation are on board because they believe that since the land was forcefully taken from the black south Africans by the invading whites...it should also be returned now WITHOUT compensating the white guys for loosing it.
Take it or leave it....this is the apt scenario between the Nigerian ruling class and her long suffering citizens. SOWORE is our own Julius Malema.

#God bless Nigeria

Properties / Re: House Ceiling Collapses On Man In Imo (Photos) by Hoogee(m): 5:05am On Sep 15, 2018
That is not POP ceiling, it's the soffit plastering (decking plastering ). The kind of slab used here is the lightweight hollow pot, making use of clay bricks arrangement with reinforcement. The likely cause is inadequate bond between the bricks and the sand-cement mixture used for the plastering cause by poor ratio.

This is so sad. But the problem of this country is that we always expect the government to do everything for us. No more humanitarian services among the citizens. In Japan for instance, the citizens can go extra miles to influence positive changes in their country. Their government only have few more things left to do. Let Nigerians learn from the Japanese people and stop being too dependent on their leaders. It's the same hands we have that our leaders have too. Let's change our attitude please.
I get your point on the humanitarian services,the question now is how many nigerians live above the average level who can team up to afford this kind of project,getting their wealth legitmately. Very vey few, which their input will be insignificant. Nigerians clamour on the government always because social infrastructure is part of their primary aim and nigerians are been taxed and levied everyday meanwhile the development is not relatively proportional. For instance, on average in the south western state which am sure of,taxi drivers gets daily ticket on the minimum of #1,200 ,bike #300, tricycle #1,000, this money run in millions.paying them back with poor infrastructure. You see their union excos living extravagant life,you wonder if they remit to the government purse. I personally took time to make enquiries from drivers,bikers,road transport unions,only to discover that the union pay huge returns to the government but not sincerely. Its all shady and sharing between the union and some government personnel, thats why you see some government of the day having interest in who heads the union. Of all this drama,we the masses are at the recieving end.
Politics / Ondo Government Timely Response To Collapsed Bridge by Hoogee(m): 5:18am On Sep 11, 2018
The ondo state government has commence work few days after their attention was drawn to the colapse bridge along Oba akoko - ikun- afo-idoani road. I commend the ondo state government for the response not because they are doing their job but because they have a listening ear.
It's our duty has citizen to always do our part by calling attention of the government to issues, kudos to nairalanders because we have been doing this for years and we will continue because it pays off.
Don't ever think your voice are not been heard, they are. As we have non challant people in government and private sector,We also have dedicated and committed people. I know of some states that the governor media aid on per second are on all media platforms and forum giving adequate and sincere report to their principal. So let as keep engaging them in the business of good governance.
I can tell that for every 10 readers on nairaland only 2 or 3 probably has an account,now imagine the audience that reads what you post.lets all be committed in moving this nation forward. God bless nigeria

Politics / Awaiting Disaster If Oyo State Government Fails To Take Action by Hoogee(m): 8:01am On Sep 10, 2018
After two and half hours of rain yesterday sunday 9th of September 2018, the bridge before tipa garage on the akala express dual carriageway (new garage - Elebu road) in ibadan was filled to the brim and many surrounding house which are close or most likely to be on the river banks were submerged.
I call on the commissioner for works for the state to look into an immediate future plan of periodic opening up of the waterways and expansion of this bridge, if yesterday rain fell for six hours,residents and commuters will be trapped and the fear of the bridge being washed away because of the constant water pressure,the abutment wing wall and embankment being expose i think pose a treat. We do not need to wait until the damage is done before action is taken.
Also along the same axis just before richbam filling station after ire akari estate, water is eating up the drainage gradually and the gradual collapse of the road is noticeable.
As a citizen have done my part by paying my tax and calling your attention to it , please do your part hon commissioner by taking necessary steps. Finally nairaland do your part by pushing this to the front page, so that someone who can get the message to the appropriate quarters can see this. God bless nigeria
