*in seun's voice * Fashola commissioning projects like chin chin.

Like the Lekki port, Lekki. Airport, 4th mainland bridge, Lagos Boat hotel, Lagos cable car

Agreed chinchin sef nah just flour in packaging.

[quote author=Johnpaul88 post=28519526][/quote]Lagos has reached her zenith and cannot be fixed. Things can only get worse.

Most oil coys are moving their cooperate headquarters to Abuja.

With peace and stability in the Deltan states and developmental strides in places like Uyo, expect to see more of these companies relocate to Calabar and Uyo.

The financial institutions are also moving to Abuja. Why? Because the FG and CBN are located in Abuja and these two entities are the backbone of theNigerian economy. Lagos is merely a consumer state and packaging companies like Lagos because of the population and diverse demograph. That same popularption that your fashole sees as a menace is also what makes companies like Lagos, since you want us To leave Lagos, those coys will eventually branch out.

The southeast coastline should have a viable port in the gulf of guinea to serve the real production areas in the southeast, the agro sectors in the middle belt states of Benue, Taraba and south Adamawa, the booming oil servicing sector of theNiger Delta and also serve as a launching pad to the fast developing central African countries.

FG has pulled out, the companies are pulling out, it remains for people to start on an exodus out of that ungrateful city.

Maybe then fashole and his touts will realize that their xenophobia was their own downfall.

baLLoTBOxX:
ask GEJ to pls provide our lagos-ibadan expressway....2nd niger bridge.....sure P buses.....stable power supply .

"our" Wetin?


Just like the same "our 20 billion dollars" Abi?


Get ready for Oduastan Emirate.

baywatch84:
did you know the SW is ungrateful, we depend on our two hands unlike your family that your daily bread was handed to on queue, better find your way and be independent like the people in SW. Jonathan is going down come 2015.

Omonile and agbereos are now a hardworking class?

Johnpaul88:
I'm not even from SW nor do I live there. I'm only saying that it should be extended to places of more value and worth. With all due respect to Kaduna, I hear it is only 3hrs by bus from Abuja and it is not that an important city in Nigeria. Abuja to Lagos and Lagos to Onitsha will better lives far more in Nigeria

What is so special about that your millinelium slum village, Lagos?

Lagos is a port city, a role that any other coastal state can easily relieve Lagos of and see to a speedy onward transfer of goods to other hinterland regions.

There is virtually no real production going on in Lagos anymore as most of the factories are merely packaging and distribution plants while the economy of Lagos is by and large that of shop keepers.

Kadunna on the other hand contributes to our economy through real production with agriculture.
That tomato, onions and pepper you love to make an omelet with when eating that yam are most likely fom Kaduna.

Your Lagos is over rated.

egift and Barcanista I'm still waiting for your response on the project stage of the Lekki port, 4th a inland bridge, Lekki airport, Lagos cable car and the Lagos light rail project.

Pls don't disappoint me.

Malctunji if you can move the Kaduna Abuja rail project to Travel then I see no reason why this overinflated rubbish jetty should remain here.

Johnpaul88:
I guess this is a good news from this very inept government. The next government should continue from that and extend the railway to connect Lagos with Abuja. That's only way it can touch so many Nigerians.

Please kindly list your contributions towards our nation's development.

By the way, the Chinese government is currently constructing a coastal rail way that will link Calabar to most of the ND coastal areas and terminate in Benin.

The Ungrateful SW should use their over to develop their own region henceforth

barcanista:
Jonathan keep saying "I will..." "Government would..." and other futuristic noise since 2010

egift:
Waiting for Jonathan to Start and Complete a single project is like waiting for the moon to turn Green

Please were are the following fashole scam projects that never went beyond the consultancy and CGI stages...

4 th mainland bridge?

Lekki port?

Lekki airport?

Lagos Cable car?

Lagos light rail?

The Houdini disapering Lagos Yatch hotel?

Please give me an up to date summary of the aforementioned projects work progress.

I don't know what you mean by 20pkm, but I think you mean 20km! read the below -

Don't mind that Janjawiid boko

Which Janjawiid mod moved this to travel?

If it were another Aregberascal O nonsense project it probably would have made front page.

Malctunji you ram, nah you dey duty this morning?

Or is it that 504 lover and APC shilling mod,OAMJ4?

adamsjj:
#No harsh feelings...are u a railway engineer?...were u working wif dem?...Do u knw d quality of d materiál dt was used?...Whch country is bst in railway construction?...Do u knw hw many past presidents(both obj & buhari) hv started oř collected moni on this samé project & it disappeared into the thin air...Do u think is easy to achieve such a laudable masterpiece with the level of unrest in those regions?...Do you knw der is a masterframe work to link each region together with railway?...We shld put sentiment & ethnicity aside & think for the betterment of this country...thank u.

The mumus don't know that every inch of steel railing was imported. We have next to. Zero steel capacity.

The rail projects also includes bridges, tunneling and even cost of relocating communities in its path and settlement of farmers.

Joavid:
Oh yes! He built a train, probably 5times the original price and then that is huge "achievement".
Nigerians can easily be swayed.
Government playing pingpong with our minds.

I refuse to be seduced!

Your APC governors in the SW build shabby poorly constructed single lane roads at one billion naira per kilometer.

Check out the cost of the Lekki link bridge which is just 1.3 km at a total cost of a whooping 29 billion naira!

yzgobier:
Finally, the most sensible comment I've read so far. The cost is outrageous.

The Lekki link bridge cost 29 billion naira. The bridge is 1.3km.

This will put the cost at approximately 22.3 million naira per meter length or 150,000 US dollars per meter.

And the bridge is tolled!

abdulwastecx:
Design by Chinese
financed by Chinese
constructed by Chinese

In a country of 175million and a very high unemployment... I am still shock at the cost of thaf project, $850million for a 20pkm rail standard guage line ( $4.25million/km)

The completed rail project probably cost far less than the amount Fashole paid as consultancy fees for that phantom Lekki airport.

Osun is a hotbed for terrorist recruiters.

Revealed: [size=18pt]Al-Qaeda’s plot to recruit Nigerianst[/size]
THE Federal Government on Friday revealed how international terror group, al-Qaeda, planned to recruit educated Nigerians for terrorist activities.
Court processes filed by the Federal Ministry of Justice before the Federal High Court in Abuja in an extradition request case gave details of the plot anchored by a Nigerian who is now in custody of the security agency.
According to court papers, the Nigerian, Lawal Olaniyi Babafemi , who escaped arrest in the United States and was arrested in Nigeria, informed security agencies during interrogation that he was paid thousands of dollars to recruit English-speaking Nigerians into the terrorist organization.
The Federal Government is asking the court to extradite 32-year-old Babafemi, also nicknamed (‘Abdullah’ and ‘Ayatollah Mustapher’) to the United States where he is being wanted for his alleged involvement in terrorism-related activities.
In an application for extradition filed before the court, the Federal Government exhibited a four-count charge marked 13CR-109-JG filed against him before the United States District Court of the Eastern District of New York and a bench warrant issued for his arrest by a US magistrate.
Babafemi is charged with “conspiracy to provide support to a foreign terrorist organisation, provision and attempted provision of material support to a foreign terrorist organisation, unlawful use of firearms and conspiracy to unlawfully use firearms.”
The offences, on conviction, attract a minimum sentence of 10 years or maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Babafemi, until now was based in the US. He fled to Nigeria after realising that the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was after him.
He has since been arrested and is being held by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Documents filed by the Federal Government before the court revealed that the US authorities believe that Babafemi belongs to the “al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP),” an affiliate of al-Qaeda.
He allegedly travelled to Yemen between January 2010 and August 2011 to train with the group and relate with its senior members, including the now deceased Anwar al-Aulaqi and Samir Khan.
Babafemi was said to have admitted, upon interrogation, that he was paid about $8,600 by the AQAP to return to Nigeria and recruit some English-speaking individuals to work in AQAP’s English language media organisation.
The media organsation is believed to serve as the AQAP’s medium of radicalising English speakers, whom it recruits to commit terrorist attacks on its behalf.
The group had claimed responsibility for series of terrorist activities, including the December 25, 2009 bombing attempt in the US by a Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
The extradition application could not be heard when it was taken to court owing to its late service on Babafemi’s counsel, S. O. Yahaya.
State’s counsel and Head, Central Authority Unit, Federal Ministry of Justice, Muslim Hassan, who said court processes were served on Babafemi a day before his appearance in court, however, agreed to Yahaya’s request for more time to file his counter-processes.
The trial judge, Justice A. R. Mohammed, later fixed hearing in the suit for August 28.

Read my post in this thread and you will know that your captain america is just a hyped up egotistical kid wanting attention like your average narsistic teenage girl on facebook

Ok ooo,this government the harm you have coursed is far more than your unfilled score card...US can make this government eat shit,previous government has enjoyed a smooth relationship with the US,our relationship with the US has been mutual untill this clulessness

House niggering

They rushed to issue their useless press statement as if they were the ones that discontinued the training while it was the Nigerian govt.

Yeye dey smell

Meanwhile, I know that the useless obama insisted that Nigeria cease sending troops and police personnel to Russia as a precondition to continue their nonsense military assistance

Currently over 1200 troops are undergoing specialist training in Russia

Kudos for this administration for giving that bastard muslim shill in the white house the much anticipated finger

Tambuwal's only trait and attribute is stalling.

barcanista:
If not wickedness from #TeamJonathan, how can you explain poor people being asked to contribute to him?
This is a government that budgets 500 Million for the President's food alone, while Nigerians are starving.
This is a government that allowed/connived with subsidy thieves to steal and loot what ordinarily supposed to be public's benefit.
This is a government that denied jobs to the masses.
This is a government that spends billions taking care of themselves while no social benefit for the masses.
This is a government that can't account for $20 billion(or$10 billion) that belongs to the masses. And so on.

Why can't Jonathan team take their money from all these billions? Why are they so wicked to take the little the masses are managing despite plaguing us with unemployment?

rant all you want but you ediots can not convince me that Buhari is now part of the proletarian class when his whole life has been that of privillage.

The man was an officer of the Nigerian Army who rose to the rank of Maj. General and then sacked a Civilian administration and installed himself as head of state without consulting with the general populace.

Your Buhari is a lying fraud

Firefire:

He lives on bank loan

He lives in his own fantasy world of austerity where we know he is a corrupt looter

malawian2:
wrong. royal niger company is the british company that was in charge of nigeria. royal niger company was also in charge of india.

Did you even read what I wrote?

Buhari is a liar and a fraud.

juman:
Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun. Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun. Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun

This is a very sad country.

This is another nigeria. A destroyed nigeria.

It is sad now that your mosque are being bombed abi?

That tiny blue spec is what all this fuss is all about or is it?

The arab world is in shambles but that doesn't stop them claiming a city (Jerusalem) that they never had any links to.

The APC party symbol represents their avergae members psychic which is to get into power for the sake of sweeping out their opponents first and then clearing the treasury with Tinubu as the dustbin
