The first france travel he had a red carpet reception. But subsequent ones is like a refugee gate-crashing into france. Na wah oh!

Silly IGP , When fulani herders are killing people this man cannot find his voice. No action, No solution to that problem.

I remember serving in katsina state. Camp was at Malumfashi, once a car drive past it would take about 45 miniutes for next car to drive past yet we want to build a brand new dualised road between kano -kastina. Na wah oh

Politics of our zone need this or that would stall meaningful development above board. There are loopsided developments across d polity. I know four sure if Fashola has his way he will let this critical infrastuture see d light of day. But u and i know it is not his calling. The bulk stops at PMB table and the President calls d shot in Naija.

We now have an ex executive Governor as the ministed of works and power. The lies used to be that d federal goverment would not support d construction of such an edifice that would change d landscape and how we travel in Lagos Metropolis.

Today the Tinubu-Fashola-Ambode hagenomy has being in power for 17 years now and still counting nothing has being said or muted about this life changing infrastruture that Lagos critically need otherwise Lagos in d not too distanced future would be d most gridlocked city in d world.

To be sincere, I do sympathasise with Fashola going by d wrantings of our friends in d SE who accused d Bhuari goverment of marginalsing them by given them a paltry 2.9 billion Naira for fixing d deplorable infrastrutures in that zone. People are up in arms accusing d current goverment of being insensitive to the plights and sufferings of millions of Nigerians east of the Niger River, Not withstanding d facts that d most commercial corner of our great country is d SW zone and d number of vechiles plying d Lagos -Ibadan route if a vech8le censor where to be recorded d SW zone would probably have 20 times more vechile than d both NW and d NE and 10 times d vechile traffick volume in d SE and SS.

So what are we saying in excess, why build a 4 lane road going to know-where in d north when her vechile traffic volume is low compared to d SW or d SE. GOING by vechicular traffick volume I personally think d 2016 budget did jusctice to d SW to some extent. I still don't understand d propose Kano -,Katsina dualisation was this project inserted into d budget in other to satisfy Mr President when d SE need a second Niger bridge!

Coming back to d topic at hand 4th Mainland Bridge, with d kind of poltics we play with our critical infrastructure today, this I must say may never see d light of day in d next 100 years, 17 years have gone already so we are down to 83 years more of anguish, sorrow and blood if u live in Lagos.

Finally i give kudos to IBB 4 building d 3rd Mainland bridge d longest bridge in Africa today, despite all d negatives of that regime, this bridge did at least for posterity put a critical infrastrure on d ground. If IBB played poltics with this infrastruture Lagos and Nigeria at large would have being robbed off this critical infrastru ture. We must commend his audaciosness for not allowing parachoial sentiments blind his eyes.

If IBB did not build this bridge, d only way Lagosians in mainland would be able to get to d island would have still being through d Carter and Eko bridge. Can u imagine a lagos without 3rd Mainland bridge, to say d least it would be hell on earth.

Thanks and kudos to IBB for saving us in Lagos State.

[size=18pt]The Questions you should be asking was, how come the value of the Naira did not fall to say 100 Naira to the dollar when oil price was selling for $114 per barrel during Jonathan's regime? if it did not fall then, why should it fall or appreciate now for only a 4% upward movement[/size]?

Looks like El-Rufai's allocation to d Goverment is d most reasonable. I personally think this diminutive gentle man from kaduna should assume or take d mantle of leadership of our country if our beloved president decides to throw-in d towel. He is d only guy that can finish this battle Buhari started.

Okowa is a by-product of Ibori haegonomy, and with Ibori out of jail a broke and dishevelled man, one does not have to wonder why d Governor's office allocation is in d stratosphere. Okowa is just being a loyal , pre-emptive and well thaughtful servant who will beckon at his masters call at a moments notice.

Since most african contries trade extensively with china why not all african contries adopt d yuan as d currency of choice in africa.

It is high time to replace all these generals with colonels and its eqivalence in d other services. All d Generals from d ex ones to Buratai are all compromised.


Is it really true he slapped d Governor of Borno state?

@POSTER

Does Saraki sees himself as Yoruba? I can remember his father glorifying his malian heitage, Sarakis are hausa wannabe and they should face the music their Hausa/Fulani cousins are unleashing on them. Jusst becos u speak yoruba does not make u yoruba. The Beroms in Jos speak Hausa on a daily basis as a language to communicate does that make them Hausa / Fulani capital NO.

don'T blame supreme court. Blame our electoral laws, if left unchanged then we would continue to witness this kind of persieve sham judgement. End of the day if those APC lawyers cannot proof their cases beyond resonable doubt do they expect the supreme court to hand over favorably judgments to them without showing visible evidence.

.

To be sincere the Judgements being dispensed by the Supreme Court are UN-inspiring to say the least, anyways we do not blame them, they can only work with what they have got, that is the rather ill conceive provision in our current electoral laws which recognized the card reader, manual verification and manual voting b4 one can cast their vote. I think as concerned citizens of Nigeria, it beholds on all us to push for a bill enabling only the card reader to be the only recognized instrument or gadget required when voting.

Manual Verification and manual voting should be discourage and banish in its entirety. We do not want to go back to the ballot snatching days when results of elections were written out in hotel rooms and beer parlours.

Even if it is 5 people that their card readers are functioning on election day, those 5 people would be the only recognized and legitimate voters.

Pass-on to your house of reps man and senators.
Thank you brethren.

On behalf of Nigerian Revolution Party.

Just done calculation about 3.5 billion dollars? that is huge sum lying fallow in the Ministry of defence account and NNPC Accounts.

how much is 2.2 trillion in dollars?

are the yoruba's in republic of benin part of nigeria? I think d Governor has a point.

Supreme Court seems to be very conservative in nature. They support the status quo except if you have a prima-facia case(clear case). Quote me Ikpeazu being the status quo would carry the day.

If Mr President don't securr our borders then this war against boko haram would be synomynous with pouring water into a basket.

His house of reps issue should not be a problem since wada himself who was d Governor at d time did not resign b4 running for office.

With isis 400 miles away in libya and Nigeria having a bordeless border in d NE may God help us. Our neigbours are noting to write about. They would first think of self than think of d survival of Nigeria.

The key is d border. A bordeless Nigeria in d NE is an open field 4 isis who are only about 400 miles away in libya. If care is not taken in d forseeable future i see boko haram over-running d whole NE again as done during Jonathan's time.

The chadians are not interested at stopping them. They been a precarious country that can be over-run within d days same goes to Niger. Northern Camerroon is Boko Country forget all d posturing by cameroonian army, it is possible they too are paying lip service to this war, prefer to protect self first b4 thinking of Nigeria.

May God help us.

Peharps we should let Biafra go so long River, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River & Delta are not part of that contraption. That way they would rely on d Nigerian state just like Lesotho depends on S.A.

The facts there are igbo's in Delta & Rivers State does not mean those states should be part of Biafra. Afterall there are Germans in Austria, Lichenstein, Swizerland & part of Czech repubulic that does not make these country part of Germany.

Why do Biafra agitators want delta & rivers state then

Even close to home there are Yorubas in Benin and Togo does that mean these people are Nigerians. What of Hausas in d Sudan, Niger, & Mali are they also Nigerians. What of d Efik tfibe in Cameroon or d Kanuri's in Chad and Niger are they also Nigerians

So Biafra should leave within their confirment which is East Central state.

That is my take on this issue

And he never went back to church , therby given into d caprice & deceipt who has nothing to offer other than kill, steal & destroy. Ironically he died of deviil given conn55ert.6

Take a train to d north and change at kaduna or kafachan and then head south on d eastern route line to Porth harcurt. The problem is i am not sure d eastern route line is funtioning beyond enugu. Check with Nigeria railway corporation at abeokuta which is d nearest station from sagamu.

I will like to meet knowall

Was this General Olusegun Obasanjo's masterstroke idea of finding a final if not a decisive solution to d long drawn war of attriction in South Sudan. The formal deal on d table was d opposition just like d olx eastern region in Nigeria would be in control of 3 states in present day South Sudan.

The opposition was happy with this arrangement, not until d Goverment of kiir Slavia annouced the creation of an additional 16 states from d disputed region therby reducing d powerful hold of x opposition to 1/ 16th of her present srenght and popularity.

Just like Eastern region in Nigeria, once it was broken into 3 more states removing Rivers & Cross River which includes present day akwa ibom state d agitation lost her momentum as d people of d new state do not want to associate theselves with d agitation any more they were more interested in ruling their own little fiefdom to d detriment of d Biafra cause.

Now South-Sudan has chosen this same route in ending their on-going crisis. I am just inquistive to what led to this familiar terraine are they borrowing a leave from Nigeria 's historical precedence or were thay cajoled into this masterstroke by veteran Nigerian polticians people like OBJ who convinced them that it was d right step in d right direction.

What are your thoughts Nairalanders?

I thought fashola bought one. That means LS would have 4 helicopters. Are they sure these helicopters are for fighting crime and not 4 God Fathers.

On one hand d Military acknowledge it was sensible for d General to withdraw his troops from Baga in d face of superior fire power but why jail d man and dismiss him from d Army?

Abi C-inC Buhari dey fear say Fela's newphew abi na niece want plan coup against him to avenge his uncle. I don't understand this ruling.

And one d 27 wives was screw someone else outside who in turn brought d dreaded aids virus into d anikulapo house hold. I believe we all know d consequence of that dreaded liase.

With 50,000 signatures u can recall your house assembly members. Recall them and vote PDP members in who would deal with Aregberascal.
