A simple comparison of the two terrain as a lay man without the input of an engineer or a QS will make you understand why the difference between the cost of the two should be ten times more, how do you compare building a desert road to constructing one along the see shore, sand filling the coast line alone will cost 10X more than the entire length of the desert road.

wow...intersting. I can see that you are very knowledgeable. it even makes things easier for me.

are you telling me that from cairo to cape town is desert?

can you please tell me the number of countries this 10,000km road will go through?

can you tell me the terrain which the road will pass in each of thise individual countries?

can you please give a breakdown of the cost of building a kilometre of road between cairo to cape town and from lagos to calabar?

This is the last time I will respond to you. If you have a deep hatred to someone, that person can never please you. You said March 2025; which means at least all the states in Nigeria has been settled with more than one tertiary institutions; henceforth, investors planning to open higher institutions of learning can't get approval until after seven years. They can channel their funds into other sectors or wait till after seven years which might still be reviewed. Concentration on upgrading existing ones.

That is not what I asked you.

1. as at March 2025, tinubu has given for the establishment of 12 federal tertiary institutions.

the question is who is he banning?

2. is he banning himself?

CaptainMitch:
This is silly a 2013 case to embarass the minister in 2025.

What portfolio is he holding?

Oya ATIKU and Peter come and claim they were arrested because of coalition, very unfortunate individuals claiming patriotic citizens

You should have read the article. It would have helped you.

Find below the opening sentences of the article:

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on Tuesday 26 February, 2013 arraigned the son of former governor of Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu, Mustapha Audu, his wife Zahrah M. Audu

Incase you missed it, take note of the date.

Meanwhile,

President Tinubu has appointed Princess Zahrah Mustapha Audu DG Presidential Enabling Business Environment Counci

Actually I was supposed to have let this slide but I won't.

If you are comparing issues, try as much as possible to use reasonable basis to compare.

The construction of Cairo Cape Town started in 1971 . This means that the budget was made before then. Besides, the so-called project is not yet completed till today - 54 years after.

Is that the kind of project you want?

How do you even compare a 1971 project to 2025. Who does that?

This Lagos Calabar coastal highway will be completed and delivered on schedule. And we will use it and even pay toll to the shame of all the people who never saw this economically valuable project as anything good.

Same with this speed rail.

In your state of sliding (front sliding, back sliding or side sliding), what is the basis of comparison used that you say is not reasonable?

What makes that basis of comparison unreasonable?

Who decides what basis of comparison is reasonable or not?

What is your basis of comparison and what makes it reasonable?

How does your basis of comparison nullify my basis of comparison?

Exclusive101:
What statw in the East of Nigeria are you from ?!

first, please what is the highlighted in your post and what does it mean?

second, did you actually read your screenshot or you just hurriedly generated it and pasted?

Putindbutt:
The fraud from agulu can only dream about this.

so what benefit has accrued to tinubu and to nigerians by this call that will make "the fraud from agulu" dream of it?

how is this now an achievement?

will it be announced in netherlands that the PM received a phone call from tinubu?

will citizens of that country not ask "who is tinubu" and "of what significance is his phone call"?

zero8zero:
Meanwhile, Obidients are on Twitter space searching for their missing father who is rumoured to be on sick bed. Una mind no go touch ground

how is that related to the topic of the thread.

tinubu is using the nations resources to make calls to a foreign leader.

it is not out of order for any nigerian to ask what is the benefit of the call to nigerians.

if you have an employees using your company resources to make calls, are you not going to ask that employee what value his or her calls are adding to your company?

Future establishment.

as at March 2025, tinubu has established 12 tertiary institutions.

the question is who is he banning?

is he banning himself?

emirate9:
Then who gave her life ban not to fly again, you think ibom air mgt alone made that decision or you dont read the news.

The Aviation sector have the power to Ban any customer they found guilt or consider a threat to smooth flight, read keyamo statement ... he had to consult n compel the Aviation industry to arrive at those decisions he made.

she was placed on life ban

you have not answered my questions.

1. which "aviation industry"?

2. where is the office of this "aviation industry"?

3. is "aviation industry" an entity that it can place charges on her?

4. what are the charges you claim it placed on her?

Bluntemperor:
Una get a Very Bad Mind,but if be Una nonexistent Opposition,Una go de jump up and down.
Anyway, President Tinubu should Continue his good works.
THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT MANY Past GOVT SHOULD HAVE DONE,BUT UNA LIKE AS NIGERIA-COULD NOT DEVELOP , WELL,SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE THE VISIONS.
BUT WITH JUST 2- YRS Of Tinubu,UNA SAY THE PROJECT GOOD BUT YOU WANT TO SEND IN YOUR OWN COMPANY TO VET BECAUSE OF BAD BELLE.
HAVE YOU CALCULATED THE RETURNS ON CAPITAL,IF AND WHEN THESE PROJECTS ARE COMPLETE?

since you have calculated the "returns on capital" when the project is completed, can you please provide details of your calculation?

JuanDeDios:
Interesting figures. No financially literate person will believe you can build a road from the Cape to Cairo for $1.65 billion though.

based on financial literacy, how much should the cairo-cape town road cost?

which financially literate person will believe that a 700km road will cost $11-13billion?

yemre:
This is commendable.

Tinubu is trying everything possible to ensure he leaves an unprecedented developments at the end of his 8 year tenure. I pray this project is completed and delivered on schedule and I also pray that the next president coming after continues from wherever he stops so that this development can go round all the regions.

That way, the upcoming generation can come to meet a well civilized and developed country they can proudly call their own.

Good job, FG.

indeed. let us see how he is doing it.

Lagos-Calabar Highway Costs 7 times more per km than Pan-African Cairo-Cape town route.

1. Nigeria’s Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, a 700 km highway.

Budget: $11–13 billion

2. Cairo-Cape Town Highway, a 10,228 km Cairo-Cape Town Highway

Budget: $1.65 billion

Softmirror:
Dream BIG.....his dreams for Lagos are coming true even Dangote testified to it's reality.

Indeed. TInubu is really "thinking big".

Lagos-Calabar Highway Costs 7 times more per km than Pan-African Cairo-Cape town route.

emirate9:
You think aviation industry dropped those charges against her with placing her on a " condition" .... dey play

You forget she self dey guilt of disrupting public peace and assault on the hostess captured on video direct

which "aviation industry"?

where is the office of this "aviation industry"?

is "aviation industry" an entity that it can place charges on her?

what are the charges you claim it placed on her?

Alliswell248:
Simply tell us to explain to you.
Education is never a scam.
Illiterate

please explain to him.

I am interested in your explanation

frog12:
i dey say it is a good decision

that is why I asked you the person that made the decision do you know how many federal tertiary institutions he has approved their establishment under 2years?

is he banning himself or who is he banning?

frog12:
someone that's making sense

no be GEJ go create federal university otuoke and others
even Buhari create him own transport university for Daura. terrible leaders

a federal university with only 800 students

who is the someone that is making sense?

do you know how many federal tertiary institutions tinubu has approved their establishment under 2years?

OlujobaSamuel:
Long overdue.
This should have been announced with the subsidy is gone pronouncement.
School go just have empty land mass that student nor VC even knows the starting point or end point all in the name of make my community get school.
Any legislator wey go NASS is there to either sponsor a bill for tertiary institution for his community or state creation

is it not tinubu that has been approving the establishment of federal tertiary institutions?

so far, he has approved the establishment of 12 federal tertiary institutions.

how then would it have been announced with the subsidy is gone pronouncement?

the same tinubu who said fuel subsidy is not sustainable went ahead to approve the establishment of 12 federal institutions and you still think "subsidy is gone" was a good pronouncement.

Guestmale:
This is a good and welcome development, before our universities becomes secondary schools.

But is it not tinubu that has been approving the establishment of federal tertiary institutions?

so far, he has approved the establishment of 12 federal tertiary institutions.

he is he banning himself from establishing more federal tertiary institutions?

Fiscus105:
Long overdue, infact, if possible they should merge.

How can a state university would be having 3 different universities, wen they cannot even fund just one.


The Govs will still find way to evade it by establishing, sch of nurse, sch of agriculture etc. as political patronages for their constituencies.

long overdue?

is tinubu banning himself?

tinubu has signed bills to establish 12 tertiary institutions as (permit me to use your words) "as political patronages".

is tinubu not more guilty than the governors?

ufotunang:
Abi..that is the right thing to do.. rehabilitate, upgrade the existing universities and tertiary institutions.. instead of building more universities and other institutions which you will find it difficult to maintain and fund

who is the ban for?

is it for tinubu who has signed bills to establish 12 tertiary institutions or who is he banning?

fabolouz1:
Should be more , it seems all what some members of the national Assembly does is sponsor a Bill establishing tertiary institution of learning in their senatorial district rather than push for funding of existing ones .

but is it not tinubu who has been signing bills to establish all manner of tertiary institutions in the name of politics?

so far, he signed bills establishng 12 tertiary institutions.

is he going to ban himself by this directive?

akpumping7720:
Good one. Gocus on the existing ones. ....
Hope another government won't cancel this.

as at March 2025, tinubu has established 12 tertiary institutions.

the question is who is he banning?

is he banning himself?

The digital house numbering system, a sophisticated approach designed to allocate a unique digital identity to each building throughout Lagos State, will play a crucial role in facilitating seamless navigation for emergency responders, utility personnel, and local residents, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery.

Is it digital house numbering that should "facilitate seamless navigation for emergency responders, utility personnel, and local residents" or good roads and proper town planning?

Samantha125:
Some of us have been billed by both genders and didn't cry, but wena you're here crying because of a single gender? Come on, don't be such a cry baby.

I've had a whole married woman asking me to buy her child pampers diapers and a whole grown man asking me to help him with his electricity bill just to mention the few... And neither was I related nor friends with the people... Just say you're broke.

were you asking the married woman and the full grown man out or trying to date them and they used that as a pretext to bill you?

CaseSensitive:
Ok l'll address this again one by one.

1. Post–WW2 influence – Even though Ukraine was part of the USSR until 1991, the West’s anti-Soviet strategies which are propaganda, economic pressure, military buildup etc were already in motion, and after the collapse, those same policies shifted focus to former Soviet states, including Ukraine. Do you wonder why?

2. NATO promise – The US Secretary of State at the time - James Baker in discussions with Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990 during German reunification talks, said NATO will not move one inch eastwards if the Soviets accepted a Unified Germany. I hope you know Germany was split into East and West at the time. Similar verbal assurances were actually made by German Chancellor at the time just to ensure that the Soviet accept a unified Germany. What happened to that assurance?

3. Danger of ‘dining with the West’ – Because aligning militarily with an adversary’s rival, especially when sharing a long border and history, invites retaliation especially given the deep rooted and interwoven history that Russia and Ukraine both shares.

4. Finland joined NATO after the Ukraine war began, not before, I said in my first reply that the West has been training Ukraine army, long before the invasion. Why should Russia open a second front against Finland while still engaged with Ukraine? That carries significant strategic risk. Also refer to number 3 of my response about the deep history Russia share with Ukraine, you can then maybe guess why Ukraine is strategic to the West's ambition.

5. No I'm not misinforming others or contradicting myself. There are expressions in English Language called "Figure of speech" The “Testing ground” I said here refers broadly to using Ukraine as a venue for proxy conflict, training, tactics, and assessing modern warfare systems in real combat, not just pre-war live tests of hardware. I mentioned that in my second paragraph of my earlier reply. We can use some metaphor. No?

6. Refer to number 2, you don't seem to keep track of the questions you're asking.

7&8. I indeed know the geography and size of Russia, encirclement here isn't literally surrounding Russia with bases on every side, but expanding NATO military presence in former Warsaw Pact and Soviet states, increasing pressure from multiple directions. I mean common we can use some discernment here and if you don't know about the Warsaw pact, read up on it.

9. Related to 7&8. Again, what encirclement means here are political (EU absorption of former Soviet Union members), military (NATO), and strategic positioning, not a perfect geographical ring, reducing Russia’s buffer zone. (Again, let's use our best judgement here).

1. How did the west use these “anti-Soviet strategies which are propaganda, economic pressure, military buildup etc” to push Ukraine to be Anti-Russia between 1945 and 1991when both countries were in the soviet union?

2. Was there any written agreement between James Baker and Gorbachev? Do you have the transcript of that “verbal agreement”? did Gorbachev acknowledge that Baker made such a commitment?

3. Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, Belarus all border Russia and are all aligned with the west and NATO. Why has Russia not attacked them?

Is Ukraine accountable to Russia that makes it obligated to Russia not to ally with Russia’s enemy?

4. Did you read my comment about when Finland joined NATO?

How does it concern me if Russia choses to open 10 fronts?

You claimed that the reason Russia invaded Ukraine was to stop the advancement of NATO towards its borders.

Why did Russia not use the same reason to attack Finland in order to prevent NATO expansion right to its doorstep?

5. Ogbeni, you specifically said “weapon testing”. Has the meaning of the word “weapons” changed?

CaseSensitive:
Play stupid games, earn stupid prize. This is the prize you get for being a puppet and allowing NATO use your country as a weapon testing ground.

And the same you said

CaseSensitive:
To your second question, NATO hasn't tested any conventional weapon in Ukraine prior to the war

If this is not contradiction, what is it?

6. In reference to “number 2”, did James Baker say anything about “encircling”?

CaseSensitive:
The war could have been avoided through dialogue, Russia warned and warned, initially, the war could have been avoided if USA honour its word by not encircling Russia

Encircling means encircling. What other dictionary meaning does it have?

How can you use a word and you say that is not what it means?

7. So I ask again How would ever been possible for US to “encircle”?

8. What was US going to “encircle” Russia with?

Breaker001:
Can you tell me how this Papa Adeboye and "his children's family affair" became your business?
Do you know the level of painful sacrifices, the long hard prayers, the intercessions he may have offered on their behalf, the many years of personal investments etc (which they greatly appreciate)? You want to talk about things you have little or no knowledge about? The man has a need and he calls on "his children" (who are capable) to come to his aid, and you dare sit behind a keyboard to disturb yourself about something that is none of your business. May you NOT have children that will ignore you at a time of need. 😎

You have not answered my questions.

1. what makes them "his children"?

2. let us agree that they are "his children".

3. so if the father wants money, he asks "his children" for money.

4. if "his children" want money, do they ask their father or who should they ask?

5. is there anything like "family affair" in the Bible?

You people dont read and even if you do ,you simply lack wisdom. This is being realistic.If my enemy is in trouble I would explore the opportunity for my own betterment,but if it is my friend,I would remember loyalty and would save him if not today,then for tomorrow.Are you conversant with a lot of policies being made by Donald Trump in the US which were outright violation and favouritism to favour his friends? Heaven did not fall,it is not only in this clime that such thing would happen.Are you also aware the Joe Biden ,the former US President pardoned his son who commited a criminal offence? I would rather explore peaceful opportunity which is cheaper than go through a web of controversies which is more expensive.This is simply making a lemonade out of a lemon-I mean making Kwam 1 an ambassodor.

since you read and you have wisdom, how are the things you mentioned the right things to do and how do they justify nepotism and misacarriage of justice in this airline case?
