emmydeep: TAN IS REAL. My cousin just got a job through them recently.

Enemies of Nigeria hates TAN. Pls don't mind the infidels that hate GEJ's transformation Agenda.

Justcash: I understand your reason for making the statement at first. Your idea of Pre-fusion is more complicated than you are imagining. If you are talking about post-fusion i.e. fusing them with an already existing data, then it would have made more sense.

Justcash: The essence of CENSUS is HEADCOUNT. The essence of NATIONAL ID is IDENTIFICATION. Don't get it twisted.

bigtt76: I hope this will put an end to multiple biometric registration and identification schemes in this country ...tired! I still have the Bank Verification Number thing to do ....imagine for 5 diffierent banks.

I also hope the security agents are are adequately trained and sensitized on the ID features before one policeman go begin think say you de bluff an with credit card.

On a final note, wished they harmonize everything to include your daily records such as tax payments, crimes committed etc dat way people go take more care when in the country

Sincere9gerian: I agree with you. There is already a standing presidential order that all other data collected be harmonized into the National ID card as soon as majority of Nigerians registers on the National ID platform.
I was surprised when banks also started another round of biometrics registration. They should have just encouraged all their customers to register on the NIMC platform and submit their national identity number to the banks.
I understand that of INEC because the National ID will not go round before the 2015 elections.
Anyway, I know the various agencies would want to continue to collect their data differently because of revenue generation and contract awards but the president must insist on harmonization once the National ID is fully on ground.

EasternLeopard: So because you believe GEJ is incurring debt, so SW govts should follow suite

I pity your myopic way of reasoning

Already we in the east are questioning our leaders over borrowing which is the reason why Anambra former governor boasted of not incurring debt and yet managing the state finance wisely

Symphony007: Rivers state. A major state but a debt lower than some minor states. Impressive!!

atlwireles: Did you grantee the loan or did the Nigerian federal government grantee the loan. When you default, who is going to pay it back?

manny4life: Every foreign or external loan must be subject to statutory approval, which by virtue of the DMO MUST be GUARANTEED by the Federal Govt. No external agency will loan a state entity without FG approval.

atlwireles: The states have borrowed more monies in the last 4 years than the federal government. When GEJ became president the National external debt was $4.5B in 2010. The federal government issued Euro bonds for about $1.5B and received another $1.1B concessionaire loans from China. Most of those monies are currently used for both the Airport and railways reconstruction projects. The other $3.5B are states loans, from Lagos metro project to Rivers City water project etc. The federal government can pretty account for its loans, the problem are the states.

Atouke: State Amount Owed
1) Lagos $1,020,410 674 billion ( the most by any state and over 1/3 of the total amount owed by 36 states)
2)Ogun $116,689,249 billion
3)Ondo $51,439,910 billion
4)osun $73,404,212 billion
5)Oyo $80,112,064 billion.

TOTAL $1,342,056,129 billion equivalent to N 214,717,000,000 billion Naira

Total amount owed by 36 states in Nigeria = $3,013,216,977 billion

If all the states were borrowing at the rate that the south west states are then The country will be in a more serious trouble than we are at the moment.

lonelydora: I am not a politician, neither am I a supporter of PDP nor APC. I am a law-abiding resident of Rivers State. My dear Governor, we the residents of Port Harcourt especially those that plies the Eleme junction - Onne route are knelling down begging you to tamper justice with mercy. We know we have all sinned against you but please forgive us. We did not ask PDP/Presidency to access your government for us neither did we ask our Barrister to fight for us (No offence intended).

The suffering from Eleme junction to Trailer Park/Onne these days is just too much for us to bear. The thought of going to work for 5 good days gives me a nightmare. For the past 5 days we have been coming back from work earliest 11:30pm because of the gridlock on that route.
We know it is our driving pattern that contributes to the gridlock, but you can still help us and solve this problem once and for all in the following ways:

1. You can fix these roads and submit your bill to the federal government which I remembered vividly Mr President told you people sometime last year. Infact, the governor of Abia state has been eating big from these since Mr. President mentioned it. I know how much he repaired some federal roads in Abia state and how much he submitted.

2. You can ask your law enforcement agencies, Police, TIMA-RIV, Army if possible, to stay on this route from morning till 10pm making sure nobody drives on the opposite lane. Impose a fine of N50,000.00 to anyone driving against traffic, and make sure he pays into the government account and not settle your boys on the road.

3. Ask all Escort vehicles carrying OYIBOs not to drive against traffic no matter who they are escorting. They can get a helicopter if they wish to catch up with an appointment.

4. Ask the Taxis/buses at Akpajo junction to go inside that small park when loading/off-loading passengers.

I must commend the ELELENWO police station for posting their men to Mosque/School road junction these days to ensure free flow of traffic. Also the Elelenwo Community policing men are doing a nice job at Railway crossing/Elelenwo market area.

I don't want to pray for the death of anybody in the FIRST family so that these roads can be fixed. My dear Governor, I hope you will respond as quickly as possible to help us your children on this route so that we can all enjoy Rivers State to the fullest.

I am writing this from my car in the gridlock. Today's traffic is the worst for the week. For the picture-proof Nairalanders, I have pictures but cannot upload them now. You can suggest a better way we can solve this problem.

Thanks in anticipation for a positive response.

cyborg1: It's about time we become less diabolic and embrace science.
Silver iodide compound was used during beijin olympic to seed cloud and stop stoppable rains.

HopeAtHand: Kel4soft, your topic don make front page. I know how you dey feel now for your mind.

Ive been told by a staff of a construction company that they occassionally require the services of Rainmakers when they are behind schedule due to incessant rainfall.

danchuzzy: absolute spot off.
as an engineer u
1) design for worse case scenerios.
2) dont predict worse case scenerios in dis case possible water/rainwater characteristics while constructing
3) dont implement a design (actual road construction) when u r still gatherin facts.

u shuld hav planned for all dese in d preliminary stages of d project via research and what have u. dis is best done during d rainy season & in ur office/company/firm. Once d rains r over (during d dry season), u shuld b ready t commence work at d project site.

okay y people dey stop work wen rain wan fall?

thank u!

mcpat: If a reason for the increament is given and it is not contestable so be it but if it is not then i can understand the struggle.. The last time i checked students of the great ife pay one of the cheapest fees(federal unis).. Please enlighten me if i am wrong.

Oklander: If you are referring to road expansion and contraction during hot and cold whether, those are factors taken care of during the design irrespective of the season.

Water control is very crucial in road constructions, it is one of the most important factors considered. If the road is constructed during dry season and by chance the movement and possible effects of water is not properly "predicted" and taken care of, the road will be as good as "finish", The end(destruction) starts the following season(rainy). So its best during the rainy season as during this time you would be able to see and eliminate possible future effects of water that may probably leads to destruction.

2cato: I have heard of such but why do rain disturb the chinko people CCEC durring the construction of badagry high way?

Oklander: Even if its possible, I sea no reason why they would do that as Road construction is best during rainy season...

CoolHunk: You made it to FP with your very first post?! Suspicious.

benELOHIM7: the rain in portharcourt is very funny and weird. how can it be raining at my frontage and not raining at my backyard?
