Very few have the leadership crisis kogi is experiencing. Nor do most states suffer the indignity of having mediocre leaders like Bello and Dino.

I have said it before...Kogi state needs deliverance from evil spiritual forces. From inception of the state till now, they have been plagued by visionless, inept leadership. Only God knows who their citizens offended....

yusuf1101:
Hello pls how can i get my Health insurance with my children. please kindly advice

Go and register with a Health Maintenance Organisation (HMO). Pay the premium to cover you and your children, and then get the card after payment is completed.

You can then take the card to a hospital that is on that HMO list, in order to get medical services from them.

second generation nissan xtera is bomb

True! The 3rd generation which started with the 2005 model had issues, but the 2009- 2014 models were rather cool. It seems like the flaws in the earlier models had been fixed, in them.

AutoReportNG:
They have started actually, I saw some pictures of people using their boats but its weird on their part... Too bad if I must say!

Not in Lekki, o! Nobody in Lekki knows what jetty, they operate from, and there are no signs or notices to indicate any such thing at Pavilion.

The said high court judge is anti Islam. what is wrong in female children in dressing well to avoid being unnecessarily harassed and miss handle in the public by rapers. See what is going on in this present day female Christians appearing in the publics and even appearing in churches that is why today what you hear in the news today is the new generation church pastors, bishops being charge in courts for raping, impregnating female and all form illegal affairs with female church members purely due to the way the female church members appear half clad in public programs and churches unlike the Muslim female children and their mummies appearing well clad in their public appearances. I am sure the case will go to appeal court to get rid of the anti Islam judge.

Please stop this excuse. Everything is wrong with it.

They saw what the school uniform looked like, BEFORE they chose to send their kids to that school. Why didn't they ask the school authorities, if their kids could wear Hijab, before enrolling them into the place?

Why enrol them, and start causing trouble for the school after your kids have been admitted, by now insisting such kids must be allowed to wear Hijab? What is the meaning of that crap?

AutoReportNG:
Thats weird... send a tweet to @lagosboats and @gboatng

I don't get it, o! Why advertise a boat service with fanfare, yet it is not even running?

If I sent them a message on Facebook and they didn't respond, how am I sure they would respond on Twitter? They didn't even respond when I sent an enquiry to their WhatsApp business number. Ok, let me try your Twitter suggestion, and see what happens.

May God forgive you, for refusing to include the price. Oya, say Amen.

How much do they cost?

afroniger:
Fantastic. Maybe later they should consider ferrying vehicles as well. As an added service.

They should just deploy this boat from Marina to Mile 2, before going further to land at Badagry. They will make lots of money, as too many people will use it to escape the traffic on that axis.

AutoReportNG:
This is not a sponsored post and neither has GOkada or Lagos Boats paid for this post but we will do our best to keep the public informed. Early this week, AutoReportNG broke the news that GOkada and Lagos Boats teamed up to form GBoats which is a combination of GOkada and Lagos Boats. The issue of traffic may finally be going down now as GBoats starts work!

Lagos Boats is a luxury and private cruise company located in Victoria Island, Lagos. They have in their client base celebrities, politicians and other well to do who make use of their services as they provide luxury, comfort, and security to their client using their services.

Today, the GBoats team unveiled their operation to the public and they are starting on the Island axis for now. They are starting off with Lekki, Ikoyi and Victoria Island at a cheap price of #200 naira but this time around, no African time! Once its time to leave, the boat won't waste a minute, riders are enjoined to be timely and get to the location on time. Also, the GBoats team is offering 80% discount when you purchase your tickets ahead of time. This discount also includes a free drink during the ride! One time offer only.

These are their jetties for now...

Lekki - Pavilion Jetty, Admiralty Way, Lekki.
Victoria Island - Paradise Jetty, Walter Carrington Crescent.
Ikoyi - Five Cowries Creek Terminal, Falomo Roundabout, Ikoyi.

I was at Pavilion in Lekki Phase 1 early this week. Nobody had seen or heard anything about GBoat service, being promoted by Gokada. I sent them a message on Facebook. No response.

What is it with the hype, if they can't provide the service they advertised from Lekki? Yuk!

And to think I was one of those commending them earlier, for this initiative....

Jeilani244:
They sud file an appeal straight. They av deprived Them of their fundamental human rights, even here in Edo state Muslims are allowed to use hijab in both public and private schools not to talk of South west States

Which fundamental right, please? Didn't they know what the school uniform looked like, before they enrolled their wards or kids, into the school? Why are they now trying to change it by incorporating one Hijab into it, that was not there before?

If idol worshippers now wake up to demand that their children should be allowed to wear their own items to school, would that not create confusion?

blackslayer:
impressive! i've noticed a lot of nigerians (mostly girls) that school in the US start college pretty early! i was in my second year of college at 19! LOL....ofcourse i repeated nursery 3 in nigeria.....i am a reformed olodo!

Is there àny award or prize given for graduating at a rather young age? The age of graduation is not an issue, it is what you achieve after graduation that matters most.

Why is the owner selling, if it is in such neat condition? Just curious.

Lies! Have you ever owned and driven one before?

ITbomb:
I thought XTrail was the replacement for Xterra

No sir. The X-trail is a totally different model, under the Nissan brand.

The Nissan X-Trail is a compact crossover SUV produced by Nissan, since 2000. The Xterra however is a front-engine, 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive, truck-based SUV, manufactured and marketed by Nissan Motors from 1999–2015.

Both are very different models.

This useless man was a former senator, why did he not initiate this idea when he was in the senate.

When was Agbakoba ever made a senator?

ITbomb:
I still prefer this

It have the rugged and prestige feeling of a "jeep", the newer ones seem to be competing with Infinity [img]https://1.bp..com/-b6atZDuYZ28/XRK2QzxTNkI/AAAAAAAACUg/raOyYbcSRtg-LbyWgy80lcBvNFb-oFxowCLcBGAs/s1600/Pathfinder%2B3.jpg[/img]

Nah! The Xterra still beats the Pathfinder, in my humble opinion. I really don't know why Nissan stopped production of the Xterra. They should have just fixed the few flaws in it, and allowed it to go on with its reliable performance.

Omooba77:
In the movie industry, Nigerian homes and cinemas were dominated by Western and Asian films. There were no Nigerian films until 1992 when NEK Videos produced “Living in Bondage” in Igbo language. That transformed the Nigerian film industry, virtually knocking out foreign movies from Nigerian homes.
https://punchng.com/togolese-are-taking-away-our-jobs/

This writer is uninformed. There were Nigerian films produced long before NEK Videos produced "Living in Bondage."

Bisi, Daughter of the River a film starring Patti Boulaye, and directed by Jab Adult, was produced and released through the cinemas in 1977.

Ola Balogun was a Nigerian film maker who produced series of films in local indigenous languages such as "Ajani Ogun, Ija Ominira, Amadi etc" between 1975 and 1982, in addition to some English films such as Muzik Man and Money Power, which starred Clarion Chukwurah and Shina Peters in 1982.

Another popular film maker was the late Eddie Ugbomah, who directed and produced films such as the Rise and Fall of Oyenusi in 1979, The Boy is Good and Apalara.

Hubert Ogunde was also a prolific film maker.

All these people produced different types of films before NEK Videos came out with Living in Bondage.

The only difference is that their films were recorded in celluloid format and shown in cinema halls, while NEK Videos recorded their own film in VHS mode, and distributed it as video cassettes.

Hotfreezers:
Those areas I mentioned are where one can see flats of 100k that the poster said he is paying.

Sir, why should someone spend 5 hours on the road daily because he wants to live cheap? Why?

The stress on that road would shorten the lifespan of that person.

Very true! Unfortunately, many of them don't see it that way. It is not just the distance, that is a problem, but the insecurity in most areas, on the outskirts of Lagos. If you know how many stolen cars are snatched along the Epe to Ijebu-Ode road daily, you go fear!

Hotfreezers:
Those living in Kola and Alagbado where that guy is living is not regarded as living in Lagos.

5 years ago, 50k could give him a good house in Abeokuta. Banks are in Sapon and One Ilewo and houses in Sapon are dirt cheap. Sapon to Oke ilewo is N70 bike. He's talking about renting a house of 60k in Abeokuta and making it sound as if he's being frugal.

Let him work in Victoria Island and be living in that same Kola or Alagbado. He would be spending his salary on fuel and stress reliving drugs.

Don't mind him. Comparing rent in Abeokuta to rent in Lagos, is like comparing apples to cocoyam.

He is making it sound so simple. In Abeokuta, you will not experience one-tenth of the traffic, you go through in Lagos. Food, transport and many other things in Abeokuta, are much cheaper than in Lagos. So he was able to save his salary in the bank, while working in Abeokuta.

If he had been working in Lagos Island like you said, while living in Alagbado, he would not have been able to save much on his salary, except if his office had a staff bus to ease his transportation problems.

Hotfreezers:
Most likely Epe deep inside, Ikorodu close to Sagamu, Ayobo after Deeper Life, Badagry on way to Seme border. You know those locations that it is faster to get to Ikoyi from Osun state than it is for them to get to Ikoyi.

You are being sarcastic, right? Going to Ikoyi from Epe or Badagry or Ayobo, will take over 5 hours spent on the road, each day.

The guy actually lives in Alagbado side, on the way to Sango Otta.

Lush100:
.Sir, where I stay, 2 of the flats the rent is 100k yearly.

In fact with prepaid meter and water.

Please in which part of Lagos do you stay exactly?

Lush100:
.It's a room and palour -modified flat.

I stayed there before moving to the bigger flat.

It's an estate opposite Adura bustop when you are heading to Kola or ait road.
And they've been taken oh.

I am debunking the claim that u cannot get a flat of less than 200k.
If I am in a pay of 80k month, my rent will be between 100 to 130 max.
Even my dad's house in a well luxurious estate , there is a very well furnished self contained room with bathroom toilet water for 150k.
Even when I was working in a bank then with good money as a new entrant with salary of 178k , I took a room of 60k per year in abeokuta.
It depends on your goal, determination and discipline.
I saved above 5m by the time I left banking (despite loosing over 3m trying my hands on various business ).
Married with wife not working sef.
It depends on how ready to discipline ur body.

I am staying in a place out of my home with less than 50k rent per annum. Though I suffered to get it

Oga, this area you described is on the outskirts of Lagos. AIT road is at Alagbado on the border with Ogun State.

If you live there and work in V/I or any part of Lagos Island, you will suffer from high traffic jams and lots of stress. You will have to leave your area at 4:30a.m, to be able to get to work for 7-8a.m.

So your advice can only work for a person who works in Ikeja, or Sango Otta, and lives in your area.

fireback:
Sorry bro, Aja in lagos is it slums. If you want me to refer you to where you will get qauter a plot of land with 400k in aja I will do that.

400k for a quarter plot in Ajah, inside which part of Lagos? Where exactly will you find that one??!

PrimadonnaO:
Please, stop saying what you don't know. Self-con apartments in Lekki Phase One go for 500 to 700k, how much more VI!

You cannot get self-con in V/I for anything less than 850k to 1.2 million. Even in Lekki, you will not get self-con for 500k to 700k in a place like Phase 1, (except you are related to the landlord) unless you go further down Lekki-Epe expressway, past Ilasan or Jakande Estate downwards towards Ajah.

Florblu:
For people saying his rent shouldn't exceed an 100k, can you please show me where to rent a comfortable room for 100k in LAGOS. If you mention Ipaja, Ayobo, Mowe, Ibafo, etc I will stone you because he will end up spending his money on transport fare and even drugs to maintain his health.

When people ask for questions, let's be realistic. Op can rent a room of 200k as long as he is ready to safe heavily. He will need to cut out lots of irrelevant expenses and double his effort in getting a better job or at least start s side hustle.

You are too correct! Your analysis is spot on!

Gentlewarrior1:
Haba bros

One month salary bigger than your 1year rent

Hmm. U dey mean o. And you have a smart move but have it in mind that sometimes getting a personal house might be a liability. Its always an asset no doubt but without the right setup and money e fit no favour u o.

I am saying this because i know someone who suffered himself did this same method just like you just because he was fantasicing a getting a beautiful house. He went through all that stress and got the house.

2 years later unfortunately lost his job and and had to sell that house.

@princeking2
Sometimes rent is not such a bad thing. No be must to be landlord attimes. Having cash and a steady source of income is the shit. So that even when you finally get a house you have nothing to worry about

Oga, that house is still an asset. Can you imagine if he lost his job while staying in a rented apartment, and he was left with no money to pay the rent?

At least, by selling his personal house he has just used his asset, to raise money which can be poured into setting up a business, as well as rent.

Dhavido:
Kindly change your misleading topic, students are out there trying to put out the fire and you labeled them fire fighters using buckets of water to tackle the fire

But there is a mini-fire service station with 2 fire-fighting trucks right inside UNILAG. What happened to them?

hush15:
but amazingly, Osinbajo came to commission new fire truck and building less than 2 months or so abi na only me finds this really annoying...

Abi, o! I was just wondering the same thing myself. In fact, that fire truck has always been there, but a new one was bought to replace it some months back.

LeJeun3:
Replaced timing adjusters and tensioners ....

Please where is your workshop located? I have an SUV with a similar issue. The timing chain broke and it affected the valves.

KingAzubuike:
Nobody dey fear navy and air force at all. Boys dey stand dem one on one. Even army sef boys dey beat them like fowl.

Nigerian military na big joke. Poor training, zero facilities and equipment. The airforce still uses outdated planes from pre-world war 1. The navy still parade gunboats. Army nko, tankers used by Napoleon Bonaparte nahim dem still dey parade.

I pray you have a direct confrontation with those Naval boys and Airforce ratings. Then let us see if you would be able to come back and share the story, in one piece.

Idiot dundee united.

It is okoso game, the type they play with your pussay and your politicians are playing with your life.

Dimwitted reprobates who cherish a wealth they can't enjoy in peace more than a good name.

Thieves and sympathizers of thieves.

Dont mind them. All of them are just exhibiting stuvpidity at its' peak. Nansense!

donziggyman:
Those saying waste of resource. I want to understand something from you guys. So he should abandon those vehicles and buy new ones when the new ones spoil. They will abandon it again for another new ones right??

Sometimes I ask myself. Where are nairaland intellectuals??

Help me ask dem, o! Honestly, I am shocked at their level of reasoning.
