These governors know what effect that road will have on their economy

Very few things open up economic activity in an area like new roads

I remember like 14yrs ago when some heavy roads were being constructed into nowhere. By nowhere I mean where people didn't live much. Today those areas are booming with business and house values have gone to over 5times in this Texas

Same thing check how economic activities are springing up around Moniya train station

The goal of a responsible administration is to open up many areas in terms of economic activities so that everyone won't face just Lagos Lagos.

If you can drive PH to Lagos in 3hrs imagine what will happen to the entire lenght of that road in terms of economic activities

It's the same way some people were asking what's the rationale behind the Lagos to Ibadan railline when Buhari started it when the Lagos to Ibadan expressway was not yet fixed.

Today the Lagos to Ibadan railline is working and the Lagos to Ibadan expressway is in pristine shape.

You know why I like you, you can defend a point and then claim surprise later when there's Bleep up or when the actual stupidity that people are pointing out shows now.

The 2nd Niger bridge you are taking about, how active is it right now compared to the original
2ndly we have alot of roads in the southern side of the country that needs to be fixed and the timeline to fix it is alot faster and would cost significantly less while still delivering the same economic value.

If you people are even claiming that the reason you support this road is because Lagos side will be worked on (regardless of how much it's costing the country) then I will even respect that opinion.
But to be drumming this opinion that it will open economic opportunities because it falls from the sky?
Oya tell me the economic opportunities it will open for locations outside Lagos state.

You can't even guarantee when this project will finish or if the contract can deliver on their end.

Again you people will support rubbish now and cry blood later when the damage is done.

The truth is that you are just like this people.

The only reason you guys are now against the project is because its Tinubu that's doing it. Nothing more, nothing else.

If you think I'll spend my time telling you the opportunities of opening up 7 states with a coastal route, think it again.

popizaino:


Good you know and that is why i am also asking you if you will leave your faulty car unattended to buy a new car as a way of saving?

So you mean you cant buy a new car and still repair your faulty car?

Wonderful.

When Buhari started construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge, were there no other bad roads in the country need fixing?

Every administration will prioritize road infrastructure based on the agenda of that administration especially as it relates to federal roads.

Buhari set up the Presidential Infrastructure Fund during his time to cater to road projects like the 2nd Niger Bridge and completion of the Lagos to Ibadan expressway.

This coastal highway will have it's own dedicated funding arrangement likewise all other new infrastructural projects.

The yearly ministry of work budget already usually covers most of the existing roads repairs and maintenance.

Building the coastal highway will not stop the Oyo - Ogbomosho road from being completed.

We sometimes need to elevate the level of discuss we have here from being too pedestrian.

Itsrm:


15tn naira is 11.5bn dollars.That's a whole lot of money and I really can't understand how it's affordable for the contractor

I hope you're right and this doesn't turn into an abandoned project.

The goal of the project is not just road. It's about opening up new frontal along those coastal cities that the road will pass through.

This the Harden we all know and love

Harden and PG combined for 22pts last night.

UncleHaba22:



It was. Barca vs man u 2011 I think

No. Bayern v Dortmund 2013 was at Wembley.

Knicks and 76ers playing poverty basketball.

A40:
Embiid. 1 point in the last 2 4th quarters

2 rebounds in the 4th quarter of the full series

I really am getting to the point I don't even rate regular season achievements anymore cos this drop off is insane.

Ohh and Ingram. Who can remember the KD comps? Dort had him in the penitentiary

But Ingram is another one of those guys who's game and production never really matched their hype

Even the much maligned McCollum did put in more efforts that Ingram.

How many exams do you know of that people don’t know the marking scheme?

That should tell you all you need to know about JAMB. It is and has always been the most dubious exam around.

When I was applying for bank jobs then, when you write their CBT, you get your scores immediately. I at least remember FirstBank test I wrote. Even Access Bank.

PwC doesn't show you your test score though and when I wrote nnpc entry level test in 2019, they didnt show score, they only sent mail of interview to those of us that passed.

But the standard should be showing scores immediately after CBT exam. The candidate already know whether to hope for next round or move on.

MPJ has been immense this post season though. Seems that family issues just gave him some extra needed motivations. Those timely 3s saved Nuggets alot.

A40:
He will stay healthy whether you see it or not

😂😂😂😂😂

izzou:


I installed it again.

The old messages disappeared

Ok. I go message you for evening.

izzou:


You don reach there?

This man you don relocate from whatsapp?

airmark:


Will get back to you later pls

Check your mail boss.

A40:
Tingus Pingus is hurt though.

Timberwolves would be tough as well especially defensively however offensively I don't think they have the shot makers that can go band for band with the Nuggets. KAT will not enter the paint and make Jokic work like AD did. And in the clutch I don't trust KAT to show up

Nuggets play Wolves next right?

Skrrrrrrr:
Just like I predicted. The best way to beat the Nuggets is to blow them out. They are very clutch and they'd win a close game more often than not...

Correct.

A40:
The Lakers are a really good team I think a lot of us take this for granted.

Yeah they are a good team but most of those early leads were down to disgusting offensive play by the Nuggets.

A40:
If I hear you niggas compare SGA to Jamal Murray on this thread again

I was waiting for you.

Nuggets wins the series 4 - 1

Darvin Ham is a fool for wasting that last timeout with 3mins remaining on a foul call.

Ham decided to use his last timeout with 3mins to go?

Skrrrrrrr:
Ahhhhh.
Wire to wire.....

How this series got to 3-1 Gang, I do not know....

The 3rd and 4th quarter meltdown of the Lakers is the reason.

Nuggets offense came alive in the 3rd.

Huge 3 from Spencer to cut the Nuggets lead to 2pts before the end of the 3rd quarter.

afrodoc2:




And they played 7 games each.

No ojoro.

A40:
Disgusting display from the Nuggets.

The Lakers have led for 78% of the series. Could it be they are the better team all along and things are merely reverting to the mean.

34pts in a closeout game at home. Jokic fooling if not Murray and Reggie Jackson it could easily be a blowout lead for the Lakers

I dont understand how they could keep starting the game the same way for 5 straight games.

White on some hot shit.

Manolas and Baoteng on the same team getting the team relegated.

Citadel 1 - 1 Apari Sports

Full time draw.

Meanwhile NFF appoints Finidi George as Head Coach of the Super Eagles.

mele kyaris nnpc reintroduced fuel scarcity with a vengeance with their tainted fuel

and like you said no head rolled

instead we were seeing photos of the guy shining teeth with buhari

Tinubu should've relieved him of his duties when he sacked almost everyone.

This is on Tinubu. This is the second time we are having fuel scarcity this year alone. Its unacceptable.

GloriousGbola:


buhari refused to follow through on the following subsidies

dollar, fuel and power

the pain now is because we are now being told to pay market rates for these items

as a person in transport, you actually know how it goes. diesel and dpk have been deregulated for years and the price of diesel is 20-30 cents more per gallon than petrol in the us. that means if diesel is 1400, petrol should be like 1300. all that time disel was 600-900 and petrol was 145, fg was paying the difference. i watched price of air travel rise from 25k lagos to kano to 75k lagos to kano in 2021-22, while price of pms remained constant. it was subsidies the administration did not have the money to pay for that kept petrol low at this time. to the point nnpc said we will stop remitting to the federal account. we all know this story

the fact that things are the way they are now should tell you we were in a bubble.

and this is the conundrum - no one is going to come and invest in the power industry for instance, if the prices are below actual market rates.

almost all the discos are in debt or taken over by amcon. if i was an investor who wanted to buy a disco and inject money into the economy by so doing, and i am told i will earn below market rate, do you think i will continue?

At the very least Mele Kyari should've been relived as GMD of NNPC.

The kind of back to back to back fuel scarcity we have seen under that man is something else.

Fuel is an essential commodity and it affects alot of things and productivity especially since we have epileptic power that we shouldn't be having this kind of scarcity.

It shouldnt be happening at all.

You'd think the Suns will start this game on fire.

They might get swept.
