The INEC chairman is just coming up with this nonsense to save face,

Luvinghubby:
Since it's Julius Berger that constructed the bridge, I think they should be the only firm assigned to maintain it. A different firm carried out maintenance during GEJ tenure, now Borini is on coming on board again. Every minister wants his own favoured contractor. Too many cook spoil the soup. SMH

1) The bridge was built by Julius Berger. In fact, according to Brigadier Mobolaji Johnson, he had the idea to build this bridge when met with the CEO of Julius Berger while he was on a medical vacation in Germany.

If you drove down the bridge before 1989, you would see a Julius Berger obelisk at the dead end after the Ebute Metta exit.


2) In a way it was a collaboration between the FG and the LASG. The bridge was concieved when Gowon was head of state and Femi Okunu was commissioner (minister) of works. They collaborated with the Lagos State Government of Mobolaji Johnson on the project.

I watched the commissioning of the bridge on the news in 1990. Babangida said that Rasaki disturbed him about the bridge to the extent that he had to tell his secretary that he should not allow Rasaki into his office the next time he visits.

Rasaki gave an interview in which he confirmed that he constantly bothered Babangida because of the bridge. He said that there was a time that the work slowed down and he went to find out why and he was told that there was no money, so he said that the Federal Government should deduct the money from Lagos State's federal allocation.


3) The bridge is linked to the Apapa-Oworonshoki Expressway and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway at Oworonshoki.


Note: Only the section of thr bridge between Ebute Metta and Oworonshoki was renamed IBB Bridge. It was renamed in 1991 when the Federal Government was moving to Abuja.

MXrep:
The first to unseat a governor through court is peter obi not oshiomole

GeneralShepherd:
The truth is that a Nigeria that is not at war is beneficial to the west as no country wants to deal with the number of refugees that will come from Nigeria in the event of a crisis.

Remember this same international community said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

My personal opinion is for everyone to accept Buhari's win and work together for a better Nigeria but saying elections were free and fair is a shameless lie.

Naughtysite:
I am not making an excuse for myself. Defeatist ? Don't make comments when you don't know people. I am referring to generality of Nigerians. I am talking of reality on ground. How can you judge 100million young people with just one successful online business among 10,000 failed ones ? You are not being realistic.

Naughtysite:
Have you opened your own web based business let us see ? Haystack shit when you have over 10,000 other failed ones and young people Hawking Adsense and Bitcoin on nairaland. Is that what youths should be doing ?

Naughtysite:
Everyday EFCC arrests Yahoo boys and this week we started hearing of Yahoo girls too. Is that where you are talking of defeatist mentality? At least I was in business when.the going was good and I can identify how bad the going is right now when profits have plunged, opportunities are scarce and you are talking of defeatist when you should be talking of VOTING visionary leadership into power to return the economy to the path of growth?

Naughtysite:
Yes, having good business tutelage at a young age can make someone extremely rich early in life in a growing economy filled with opportunities.

The opportunities are not here as we speak any more so I don't blame the present crop of young Nigerians.

You cannot take something that is not there.

yomi962:

He said that there was a time that they opposed the governor, but they later regretted it.

He said that Fashola brought a proposal to expand the Opebi Link Bridge, but they said that the project should be done by PPP.

Fashola replied that all these PPP people do not have money, but they insisted that it should be done by PPP.


The project was never done and Hamzat said that they regret opposing Fashola. He said that it would have been easier to expand the bridge back then because there were fewer houses there then.

"The Headquarters of The West African Examination Council (WAEC) is in Ghana. They are immune to political control by President Muhammadu Buhari. In 2015, Move On Nigeria wrote WAEC Headquarters and they said they have no record of Buhari’s certificate. Also, University of Cambridge confirmed that they did not use the alphanumeric grading system in 1961 which appears in Buhari’s ‘certificate’"

Anyone who has plans of travelling around and out of the country might be unable to do so come Tuesday, November 6th as the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has declared its intention to join in the nationwide strike declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress over FG's refusal to meet its minimum wage demand.



Talks on a new wage have reached deadlock after state governors said they couldn't guarantee the payment of N30,000 wage to workers. A court had ruled on Friday that the strike be cancelled, as it would jeopardize citizens' livelihood. But the NLC insists it is well within the ambit of the law to embark on the strike.



FAAN said in a statement it was standing with the labour union, and will shut down operations in compliance with the nationwide strike.



"All airlines operating in/out of Nigeria Airports shall be affected by this industrial action. We appeal to your good sense of understanding in this regard," the organisation said in a bulletin to its workers.

OkaNaUbe:
Does Nigeria have accurate database of anything? Be it economy, population, birth rate and death rate, and so on


Our population figures where inflated to favour northerners. When Murtala Mohammed cancelled the fraudulent one they did back in 1980s, they hated him.

abumeinben:
No reason for resignation?

No sour stories about him in the news, seems he left with clean hands.

Probably got politics intentions or world bank/IMF calling.

This is someone that'll fit for finances minister replacement.

Antipob777:
A state GEJ never visited. Buhari we love you and 2019 is a sealed deal for you.

I see Ipobs pigs and idiots developing cancer over this news.

God punish ipobs
Insha Allah
