[size=14pt]You people insulting me, it is not that I want to have a go at Igbos, in fact I stumbled on this while reading the biographies of all the past Military Governors of the states from 1991 when I left Niaja to 1999, to be sincere I know noting about them. It was when I got to Kogi State's past admnistrators that I stumbled on this.

What a gluttonic rogue, this man's own is tantamount to OBJ OR IBB living power and Naija cannot pay her civil servants for months on end, Nigeria cannot fulfil her international obligations due to a complete emptying of the treasury, I find it had to believe, I dear anyone of u type IBB or OBJ on google and see for yourselves if u would see anything implicating against them. Deep down most Nigerians know these guys have not being sincere but we have no proof. But this man's own is so blatant and surreal. Omo the guy kala, he no just send anybody

Two apple traders sit discussing the effects of a rumored government policy that would require all apple traders purchase half of their stock from local farmers, on their trade. A arrogant newcomer comes up to them, and with limited knowledge of what the discussion has been about, asks "what do you think comes after the letter 'A' in the word apple?". . . ROFLMAO!!!

[size=14pt]Your analogy fall short off common sense, the issue of land filling b4 building cannot be isolated from the whole project, it makes the whole project a phanton exercise, if that is what you are argueing then I beg to differ as land has already emerge from the sea, and the re-caliming exercising is bang right on track.[/size]

It is exactly what I have been trying to get across to you in ENGLISH from my first post to you. lol


[size=14pt]Don't tell me u seriouly think Eko Atlantic City would be a City sitting on water OR what don't u understand in the whole exercise. Don't u know land has to be re-claimed b4 any structure can be built, my simple question is when this happen what will be the next step.[/size]

[size=14pt]Can these England Players justify the over £100,000.00 a week average wages, the Germans are probably on half of that, the Nigerians probably 1/4, the Ghanians probably 1/5 and the South Africans probably 1/15. A need to review their renumeration is a must never than b4. [/size]

won ni ki ni TALA N NTOLO, ogbeni so kpe TOLO N TALA loun ma so. lol


[size=14pt]Can u write in English please, I don't get what u wrote there, thanks[/size]

Did I, OR anyone else on this thread ask what will come AFTER the reclaiming project? Of what relevance is that information or question to the original discussion or any other on this so far?

[size=14pt]It is a stage that is inenvitable, any talk of Eko Atlantic City that does not factor in this stage is an exercise that lacks creditbitlity such talks are trash talk not worthy of a comment from me. I will not indulge your naivety and childishness if that is the line of your argument.[/size]

@Kobojunkie
The first phase of the project is the re-claiming exercise, by the time that is done, what would be visible at bar beach would be a re-claimed land the size of 3 football pitches.

[size=14pt]did u read this statement at all, so what in your infinite wisdom will come after the re-claiming exercise, I am all ears, [/size]

Oh, Now you use the words "PROBABLY" and the line "I THINK" instead of the CONCLUSIVE language you innitially pitched pretending to have it all figured ourt? Suddenly, your take is no longer as FINAL and damning of others who did not share that view as you have it now? Shocked


[size=14pt]After Sand filling, common sense should tell u that even though I use the word I "think" or "Probably" the logical next phase of the project would be the roads , water works and electricity and other facilities, my using "think" or "probably" does not make it any less the case as one cannot put up buildings in an un-dermarcated land.

Do I have to come down to your level of thinking, dotting my every i's and crossing my every t's for u to understand. Oh boy use your grey matter.

http://www.leadershipnigeria.com/news/headlines/14591-niger-govt-to-dualize-minna-abuja-road

Niger state Goverment thinking of dualizing Minna - Abuja Road.

apart from the good points raised by papabrowne and lagbaja

who will fund this 3 lane express?. . will it be tolled?. . and will the users agree to pay that toll?

Cause i dont think Niger state can afford it. . .such an express road will probably cost north of $1billion to build

i dont think Niger state budget is up to N90billion this yr,but i could be wrong

[size=14pt]As we speak Niger State has already awarded a contract for the dualisation of the Minna - Suleija - Abuja Road, If they can built 2 lanes on both sides on their own now, I don't see why they would not be able to add an extra lane making it 3 lanes on both sides. They have no plans of tolling as the economic activities it would generate would surpass any toll collected. A toll could backfire as it would stall investors.
[/size]

f like you suggested, Minna and Bida are the next wealth destinations, i believe investors would have instinctly  trooped in the droves to the areas irrespective of the presence of the proposed 3 lane highway.

The first question to ask is if Abuja is truly a gold mine. The last time i checked the answer is still a No. Abuja's economy rely absolutely on the goverment. Most workers in abuja are civil servants. No wonder social activitives are at the lowest ebb during weekends.

Abuja does not have any economic stay. No water ways. No abundant natural resources to explore. No world class tourist attreactions, no productive sector activities. Abuja relies on other states for its sustenance. Why do you think investors prefers either to go to Lagos or port-Harcourt, why do we have 25 head offices of the banks in Nigeria located in Lagos. Investors will take their money to only places where returns and economic activities are guaranteed.

If Abuja cant stand on itself, what then do you expect of Minna and Bida ?

[size=14pt]You belong to the old school, there are a whole swarth of nigerians who have never lived in Lagos b4, this was unheard off when I was growing up. Anybody who is anybody in Nigeria must have an Intrest in Lagos in those days not anymore. Face it Lagos by the hour and every minute is becoming less relevant to many Nigerians especially the Political Class who fly from thier State Capitals to Abuja and from ABUJA TO London, Dubai and Jeddah. The HOUSE Prices in Abuja is only matched by Ikoyi and soon Abuja would surpass Ikoyi, making it the most expensive real estate in the whole of Africa.

Ikeja was opened up because of the Ikorodu Road Linkking the hub of activities in Lagos Island with the hinterland in Ikeja, SO was Lekki, it is a known fact if u build good quality roads, investment , capital and business would follow in tandem. Niger State is a minefield,  a good Governor would harnessed the moneyed men in Abuja with the isolation in the cities of Minna and Bida by providing incentive and bridging the ecomonic activities in Abuja with the serene, quite living and countryside living which is non existent in Nigeria. Today in Nigeria we don't have exclusive estates in the country, where the Rich would have a country pile like what obtains in the WEST. Niger State can sell this ideal living to our over paid Senators and Reps men who after official bisiness from Monday to Friday can go to thier country pile and have a good rest.  

Our business men, head of Banks can be sold the same idea, I don't see Lagos being the HQ of Banks in the near future, it would continue to generate more econmic activities for the foreseeable future thus

Lagos has got a lot bad press of recent, I predict the Rich would soon leave that City in droves if the Cowboys in Niger State can get their act together, they are in a stronger position to woo those moneyed men from Lagos, IBB must open his purse and start to make things happen in his state. He took the bull by the horn moving the Capital in 1991, we are now in stage 2. The porverty in Lagos is so awesome that any progress or wealth pales into insignificant, Abuja is a virgin land and Niger State a virgin state, we can create the kind of enviroment we always aspire to live in those vast empty savannah.

By building industrial Estates in these Cities, making sure electricity is constant, and because the whole area is in the middle of the country it would mean this can also act as the transportation hub of the nation.

[/size]

and what happen to creating concrete jobs first

u got to be real for once

no need building office tower when there aren obvious need for it

[size=14pt]People should open their eyes to the money to made, investors go to where they can make a fast buck. All the Niger state Goverment has to do is connect the isolation of Minna to the prosperity of ABUJA by building a 3 lane expressway acting as an umblical cord which would be transfering wealth from the mother City which is Abuja to the latter Minna and Bida.

If that is done all lands between the 2 or 3 cities on both side of the road would become gold mines for Investors, who will go all out to build new estates and other development projects as deem fit. This would bump Niger State's tax receipt up putting more money in the coffers of the Goverment.

Nigerians both at home and abroad are looking 4 exclusive enclave where they can live in peace with their families. The only reason why Lekki is roaring was the initial opening of the VI to Epe route hence the rest is History. The Gorverment must be visionary in its approach and every other thing would fall in place.

Dont forget Abuja's population grew from 200,000 in 1993 to almost 2 million today, u ask me where are the jobs coming from.

[/size]

[size=14pt]
I was talking to a friend the other day and I said Nigerians are so short sighted they tend to throw good money on bad apples. The next Economic Zone would not be in the Niger Delta OR Flood prone Lekki,  but the cities around the FCT which includes Suleija, Minna, and Bida. The Goverment of Niger State should seize this opportunity of making Minna the Ikeja of Abuja by connecting the City with the FCT. A three lane expressway might be the way forward, I am sure if he descretly asked the 2 Generals on top of the hill for some covert PPP help he would get it.

The new road would open up Minna and Bida in a triangular cornurbation to that very expensive Abuja. The middle classes would in their droves move out of the rotten surburbs of Abuja to more exclusive estates in Minna or Bida if there is infrastruture on the ground, I am sure the diaporas would follow suit.

It is sad to note that IBB is said to have an exclusive estate in Egypt while his own state wallows in abject under-development, whilst it is understandable for him not to invest directly,  common sense and the Nigerian wittyness in doing business should have made him know he can pull this off using the popular parlance of PPP

After all Tinibu and Fahola are good at doing this in Lagos and Odili/OBJ has pulled it off sucessfully with Arik which can be said to be one of the best airlines in Africa today.

The Minna Airport City is the first step in the realisation of this dream, but if Niger State wants to be number one spot in Nigeria it can be, already it has the Kainji dam, also the depleted Kainji Games Reserve which can be re-storked to rival what Nairobi has to offer the world, so also it has the Guarara Falls and Zuma Rock which can all be harmonized into one grand tourist adventure for the discerning tourist with a streak of adventure this could be a hell of a holiday experience.

Can someone please make me the Governor of Niger State and you will  see a new dubai rise from the Savannahs of Niger State, this over use and bastardize phrase will unfold b4 our very eyes. I am sure IBB's son is eyeing that post, and I will urge him to convince his dad to open his wallet and let things happen after all we aint gonna take it to heaven[/size].

^^^Dont mind that sick poster.

[size=14pt]We must address the issue why a whole race are inherently bent, surely this misdemanor commited by this gentleman should not be forgiving, what it simply means is that this Gentleman in other to retire in peace and enjoy his ill gotten wealth, made thousands of civil servants and other state employees handicapped for months on end and someone call that " a man's infraction", this is a communal despoiling if anything,  it is equal to sending the jews to the furnace.

When a whole swarth of human cannot feed their families due to one man's greed is that not worse than the holicause. We should dig deep and let the evil of what fellow men has to done to his other fellow men haunt them for eternity. The evil that men did should not live after them but should haunt them till eternity. [/size]

And am like what is the motive here?.

When has an infraction on the part of one man translates to castigating a whole group of people?

[size=14pt]The Governors have not fear any better since 1999, makes one wonder what would be left of Nigeria after an Igbo Presidency.[/size]

Colonel (retired) Augustine Ifeanyi Aniebo was the Military Administrator of Borno State, Nigeria during the military regime of General Sani Abacha. He then became Administrator of Kogi State, Nigeria from August 1998 to 29 May 1999 during the transitional regime of General Abdulsalami Abubakar, handing over to the elected civilian governor Abubakar Audu on 29 May 1999 at the start of the Nigerian Fourth Republic.[1]

Aniebo was born on 23 March 1950 in Anambra State.[2] In the Nigerian Civil War he commanded the Biafran 58 Brigade at Uyo.[3] He was captured in the fall of Uyo in 1968, and detained until the end of the war.[citation needed]

In May 1997 Nigerian security agents, working with Islamic leaders, stormed a Christian Church in Maiduguri, Borno State and ejected the pastor and church members. The church leaders appealed to Aniebo to act quickly to avoid a religious crisis.[4] In 1998 he said that the Borno State task force against smuggling had been strengthened to reduce cross-border smuggling of petroleum products to neighboring countries.[5]

[size=14pt]Appointed administrator of Kogi State in August 1998, he left office without swearing in his successor, having drained the state's treasury dry and racked up massive debts.[6][7] His successor, Abubakar Audu, personally went to President Olusegun Obasanjo to complain that it was impossible to administer the state given the size of the debts.[8]

Later he became Chairman and CEO of Hotel Millennium Abuja.[2][/size]


Is this a classical atitude of an Igbo hench man OR just a one off.     

[size=14pt]That Huasa Building is inspiring, this are the kind of buildings that should be mordernised with all mod cons, Oyinbo will respect US all if we embrace our indigenous archietetures. Perharps we should learn from Gadaffi who embrace his desert tent heritage, that archietecture is more rudimentary when compared with what we have in Kano State. Nigerians should proud of this unique archieteture.[/size]

[size=14pt]Bankole was part of the Cabals, to hold on to him is like Jesus holding on to Judas. The man would put the knife-IN on Jonathan at the slightest opportunity. That boy was a political novice b4 he became the speaker, and political novice he shall return to. I will not trust that ingrate with my N10.00 let alone the nations finances. Just like Ebebi Deputy GOV OF Bayelsa, Jonathan must close shop to Mr Bankole, he should be back in our fold as citizen Bankole very soon,  the earlier the better.

Just remember Citizen McCain after he lost the Preisdential election to Obama, there was a peice in CNN on McCain, Candidate McCain was seen driving his people's carrier into his garage as citizen McCain, stripped of the limelight and the convening brou-ha-ha, just that Abeokuta is not ready to welcome Citizen Bankole, perharps Katsina might do, his adopted Aunt Turai might be a good shoulder to lean on.[/size]

Fraud is very easy to spot.   

Similar projects around the world have solid information on them posted online so that investors can appraise them and make informed decisions. Why is this one shrouded in secrecy?

I suspect this is a mere breach front reclamation exercise being packaged and sold as something more.

The essence of plans is to have a complete vision of the project - a detailed vision. If the vision is incomplete, have can we know when we attain it?

Quote
And I must add that the most important thing about plans is the finance. You tell me that a project that should cost $100 billion is estimated to cost $3billion, I smell a rat.

What would cost $3 billion anyway? Dredging? Sand filling? Building the 7 meter hide sea wall? What exactly?   

Anyway, I would say this one last time.

[size=14pt]The first phase of the project is the re-claiming exercise, by the time that is done, what would be visible at bar beach would be a re-claimed land the size of 3 football pitches. The Goverment would have fulfilled her own side of the bargain. Putting up the high rise are down to private investors, the bill for this stage of the exercise cannot be accrued to the Goverment. The Goverment's duty is reclaim the land which they would accomplish at the end of the first stage.

Stage 2 would probably be infrastrures,  building roads,  and demarcating the plots to be sold off. It is then left for private investors to put up their structures or be revoked. I think $3 billion dollar would cover the first and second stage. The goverment would not put up high rise for anyone, that would be like the goverment building your house for you after selling you the land. That is my take. 

[/size]

[size=14pt]It is not with pride I inform you all that about 1/3 of LGA's in Nigeria get 1/2 of $1 million dollars every month, which is N140million Naira. Just Imagine more than 250 LGA gets between 70 and 85 million a month and there is nothing to show for it.

Raising the largesse to 1 million dollars would only mean Oga's wife(that is the Chairman that gave his wife N1 million Kitchen allowance every month) would be entitled to probably N3 million Kitchen allowance not taking other allowances such as shoe and bag allowance, travelling to Dubai allowance e.t.c

The $1 million dollars would disappear as soon as it hit the accounts of those LG, there would be nothing to show, except mud houses and untarred roads which is the true representation of our LGA today. [/size]

[size=14pt]We are talking of internal generated revenue from the States, has either Delta State or more business inclined Anambra State ever thought of building the second or even 3rd bridge over the Niger. They should build it and put a toll on it. They would re-coup their money in no time. Why State goverment's wait for the FG I don't understand. [/size]

[size=14pt]There is noting fraudulent about the project, even a die hard skeptic like me on all things Nigeria can see and acknowledge the phase logistics of the project. First build a wall to protect the city which has be done clearly and it is quite visible on those u tube streams. The wall is kind of curvy, tapering towards the land thereby creating an artificial lake OR trapped water in the middle which would be drained and sand filled. The logic makes sense. I think $3 billion is more than enough to reclaim land lost to the sea since 1951.

@Onlythruth, What don't u uderstand in this relative easy reclaiming exercise, and u say u are involve in this kind of project, the video is clear even a dumb a*ss quack OND engineer from our Polythenics would have a clue what is happening how much more Mr American trained. 
. [/size]

[size=14pt]Zoning is good in principle and for the sake of equity, but one thing the PDP Elders or Board of trustees forgot to do was amend or cover certain contentious issue when they were drawing up and deliberating on how their perfect Gentlemen’s agreement was going to be implemented, they failed to cover a situation where an incumbent President dies on the Job. 

By failing to consider this very important option they have ingloriously shot themselves in the foot, what can save the party rather than the on-going heckling over whether the North OR the South should produce the next President they should adhere to the doctrine of necessity once again which ushered Goodluck- IN, in the first place.

It would mean that the missing clause must be inserted into their constitution,  not this present constitution as we all have the benefit of hindsight. The VP position b4 the demise of the President was more like a personal Non –Grata position,  nobody will touch with a barge pole let alone  seek favour from.

Yaradua and Jonathan were elected together, started the race together one of them dropped half way during the arduous journey, surely one of them must be allowed to finish the relay. The fact that the current President is from the area where the golden egg is laid, the egg which the rest of the nation depends on is something most selfish Northerners especially those who have tested power before should bare in mind, let the boy from the oil creeks  rule this great country for once and stop all this senseless bickering after all what has Kastina, Kano or Sokoto got to offer the nation.

In the meantime the Party stalwarts of PDP can meet in one of the so many sumptuous and tastefully furnish living rooms across the land and draw up a new water tight Gentleman’s agreement which would take any eventualities into account but on the issue of whether Jonathan is going to run OR not does not apply,  as the new rules cannot be introduced when the match has already began, the rules can only be re-presented when the game is over and that would be for another day or another era perhaps 2015.[/size] 

[size=14pt]Did anyone wonder why that man (Southgate) sold Yaks at Middlesbrough despite the fact he was banging in the goals for them. He knew he was an old man putting up appearance, he hated training, how many old men ever like training.[/size]

[size=14pt]I would be surprise if Yakubu still have a contract after this display of ageism; he has just shown the world and Everton in particular that he is a fraud.[/size]

[size=14pt]40 year olds would never win anything for us,  Kalu should be about 43 years,  Yakubu is about 40 years,  Obafemi Martins who was just discovered a few years ago by the Western Press as a new gem from Nigeria is already a shadow of him self, he was rumoured to be signed by Arsenal at some point, one can see that he is not the spring chicken he claims to be,  he is about 38 years old

Never in the history of Sports has old men overwhelm young men, except if we are looking for a George Foreman miracle a once in century record. We might as well wait for this miracle to come to past by the year 2110, a 100 years from now.[/size]

Why should you deprive yourself of the joy of "punishment" by passing another woman to me? I will be gentle, I promise.

[size=14pt]You are an idi*t the lady has beaten u hands down in the argument accept it, rather u chose the inglorius comfort of outlandish male chauvenistic inuendo's  u are intellectually inept and a juvenile who should be banned from forums where mature minds operate. 

You were holding your own in the argument until u came out with that rude and unpalatable remark against her womanhood, she did well blowing your spoof wide open especially on those 2 Nigerian players, next time do your home work well b4 coming online and start yarning dust. [/size]

[size=14pt]It is a good idea, a terrible and non performing House member would be easily identified as his stewardship in his constituency would be visible for the whole world to see.  Seeking vote for a second term after performing woefully would be a laughable prospect taking with a pinch of salt.[/size]

If you cannot see the outrage against what Yerima has done (and has been doing), then i am sorry for your sense of morality. You are just throwing up irrelevant arguments. What is the connection between a priest impregnating a girl in Benin or anywhere else have to do with child marriage Sale? and how do lesbianism or gays fit into the whole picture.

Yerima says it is his religious injunction to keep buying up small girls and divorcing them when he has satisfied his libido. No Christian had ever come out to say his religion allows him to ra.pe, and no christian had ever come out to support a despoil of children by priests(even if it is the Pope).

So because some people choose to be gays means it is justified for  Muslims to Buy small girls.

I am sorry to say, but you guys are pathetic, I hope you do not sell off your daughter to the highest bidder in the name of Islam. A woman is a human being and not a commodity to be owned and traded by chauvinistic men.

[size=14pt]No one member of the Nigerian ruling class can be resolved from a crime ( I am conceding it as a crime now as u people want me to agree it is a crime) that took place probably 5 miles from where the President, VP, Senate Presidency, Speaker of the House, Service Chiefs, IGP, Immigration, reside to exonerate one is to exonerate all.

The whole lot of them should be tainted with the same brush, they are all culpable of this despicable act.[/size]

[size=14pt]The good thing is Lagos State is more advanced in everything including the dark art of thievery; they have gone past the rudimentary theft practised in some States where Chief executives would stick their bloody stained fingers in the till while a camera is rolling. “Obi - take note moving 2.5 billion Naira by road is not how theft is conducted in the year 2010."

I am sure u are a lot more smarter than that now after having a close shave with some law enforcement officer who later denied knowing or privy of any information of the apprehension of “oga’s” cash.

Lagos State use a conduit and the labyrinth of fake companies with laughable names which portray themselves as citadels of excellence par se. Dig beneath the surface of these phoney companies with glossy magazine it is then one would realised they have never done any serious technical jobs in their lives.

This method of misappropriation is more subtle to the intrigued citizenry who have already been bamboozled by the beautiful flowers displayed in and around the roundabouts and culverts in the State.

But to the discerning eye, and men who know their onions, and know the true value of a fistfull of dollars a monumental fraud cannot be ruled out once the breakdown of all transaction has been revealed.

It would appear labour in most cases is 100 times those of the UK and USA yet our people wallow in the depth of abject poverty, boiling sewage waste as drinking water is not uncommon in some of the degraded hell holes in Lagos. Who cares aesthetic beauty is there for all to see.
