I believe the government can access satellite images. It can assign teams that monitor images for specific areas. That way, once the monitoring team notices a deviation, they can send ground teams in.

Another way might be line of sight beacons. The drainage ways can be lined using motion sensor light beacons. Once the line of sight is broken, the office would be alerted so they know exactly where an encroachment might have occurred.

While I’m not sure these ideas are workable I appreciate that you made efforts to suggest a possible solution.

Perhaps the second one will work in built-up estates that had already existing infrastructure’s to support the light beacons.

ivandragon:
I don't think employment of such large numbers is needed, though I agree with you on the difficulty of monitoring.

This is where innovations are needed. And yes, mass education and transparency would be vital.

I’m curious can you cite examples of such innovations that does not require boots of the ground?

Bobloco:
I wasn't making excuses for the developer

I said that the honorable commissioner came up with that excuse just to wriggle himself out of the quagmire. Simple

What do you mean by wriggle?

ivandragon:
The commissioner is right.

There is no need sensationalising the matter. Even common sense should tell one not to build close to a drainage line much less on it.

The government officials too have to be more proactive. Immediately construction starts, demolition the building and charge the owner and contractor for damages and violation of the law.

Don't wait until the building is completed.

There’s not much government can do because supervision and monitoring is almost impossible unless you want govt to employ another 30-50k people monitoring property development. However, govt needs to provide mass-education and ensure a transparent and open process.

Bobloco:
That's just an excuse the honorable commissioner gave to wriggle himself out of the quagmire.

Did he investigate to find out why a house given building approval will be demolished after sixteen years by the same government that gave the approval?

No difference between you and the critic! Criticizing without critical analysis of the validity or otherwise of your submission.

MEEVEET:
What do you want to do break pressurized gas pipeline? To do what exactly?

NE & NW bandits -insurgents.

MEEVEET:
Because of inefficient transmission system, and ineffective bill collection system

Band A people pay far more percentage of bills

It's a very complex issue

If I was minister of power

We would creat 109 industrial zones across every senatorial district... Some zones can give theirs to other zone of they dont have the land

Then we pipe CNG to this zones... At least pipe them to the 6 zones so that state governors can pipe to their people

If we can get industries off the national grid 90% of heavy industry that's would create more space for house holds

2 ) all prepaid meter must be on the pole.. It looks simple but once it's not on the pole it can be manipulated

How do we guarantee the safety of the pipelines under a PPP?

seunowa:
Your problem is that you are too violent and morally bankrupt. I guess you are a product of abusive home. And that is seriously affecting your mental health. You obviously need help.
I will suggest you visit a psychiatrist.
Your cognitive rationality to engage in civilized conversation has been seriously damaged.

Calm down na

MEEVEET:
[b]Obviously you have difficulty comprehending basic English statements

But

1) anyone who can't afford generator cant obviously afford to pay for 24 hours light... That's a known fact

But I was specifically talking about businesses.. But yeah same apply the numbers don't know

2) maintenance of generator, plus gas supplies cost accounted for its still cheaper than national grid electricity in nigeria 100%

3) notice pollution from gas power generators are very negligible and you can always get sound proof ... Most manufacturing machines make for more noise than generators

4) yes gas turbine are designed to work for months none stops... You can always maintain them during public holidays... Even if you get 3 generators it would still be more economical than power grid

5) price of 250 is not the issue but but ratio of price... If CNG price goes up obviously price of national grid electricity goes up too na... 70% of the national grid electricity are produced from CNG also... So what exactly is your point

Is price of electricity static?

I won't be caught dead supporting APC if anything you are closer to their policy than me

Basic problem with Africa is you want to do what the West is doing now... Not what they did they they didn't have constant electricity

There were gas pipeline to homes and industrial areas before constant electricity was a thing... I'm sure u didn't know that[/b]

God bless you. Most people don’t think through these things electricity cannot be the issue for the size of our economy.

However I’d to know if most of the gas turbines are powered by CNG why is the national grid more expensive compared running cng-generator?

rhanoden:
Most people speaking out in support of such waste at a time when the Country is grappling with it highest debt and living crisis are poorly informed.

If you don't understand economics properly, opportunity cost, environmental impact, cost-benefit analysis, then there is no point deceiving the public on a subject you don't know. Ben Bruce should be asked to keep quiet and listen to the experts.

This is too vague please expatiate since you claim to understand better than the so called experts.

Thormentor:
okay fine


Enter the next bus government chattered for you and other online Lagosians

haha

If only you know the long term implication of this for people from other tribes. If they can deport Oisin state people what do you think they’ll to others?

2aces:
Where have this so called democracy gotten us in over 60years now. Any government that truely wants to work and change the destiny of this country must be prepared to make hard and concrete choices, that's the only way to save this nation.

Answer the questions! Stop deflecting if you propose an idea then you should be smart enough to explain its workability and advantages as well those currently practicing same with success.

Angelfrost:
All these ones na grammar and jargon...!

The real matter na whether light dey abi e nor dey!


Most Band A customers (both the real and those forced into the band) never still see that acclaimed 20-hour daily electricity supply since dem announce Tariff hike.

You’re definitely not on band A.

2aces:
From my own view, I think everything should be unbundled, especially the legislative arm of government, those fat cows are useless to the economic growth of this country.

What’s this your proposed government structure to be called? Do you know if there’s no legislature there’s no democracy?

Bluntguy:
This trial and error system of doing things in this country will not take us anywhere.

So you’ll rather have govt sit-by and go nothing? Progress is only achieved by continuously tinkering with what is till the desired is attained.

Hogwarthtrades:
Na so we see am. Enjoy!!!! can't even remember completing the registrars form. CSCS /brokers/registrars gradually improving Even Veritas don dey send update

Abeg I don try I want to exit at my entry price 😀

Multiverse dividend dropped!😂

Kepukepu:
BVAS and IRev election method is one of the easiest to rig.
Any party who's in charge of INEC backend team will win the election.

Most tech people here will agree with how easy it for a backend guy that in charge of database can perform CRUD operations on it and can actually use it to manipulate database.

It's simple, buy INEC backend and do some little rigging work on the field, you will win.
If APC can just get 20% of the actual vote, the backend guys will do the remaining.

A tech person will understand what I mean.

This is why I am not even going to waste my time to vote in 2027

These are at best mere assumptions —no logic on how the so called back end rigging will be done.

If you do a shoddy job at convincing the people and forging a united front you’ll get the same results.

If you’re asked to provide proof of 2023 rigging you’ll start another assumptions series. It’s cold hard numbers not fantasies.

PHIPEX:
Keep speaking English until you ruin what's left.

The answer to your question is why our GDP dripped from 500billion dollars in 2015 to 250billion dollars in 2023.

Keep speaking grammar, data is stubborn

You’ve ignored the questions ? Why?
Can you provide proof that our 🇳🇬 GDP is $250B not projection actual proof? Do you know 🇦🇷 devalued their currency by 50% in December last year? What’s their GDP as of now despite the devaluation?

PHIPEX:
Lol. If it didn't dey, it didn't dey.

Data is stubborn, no amount of propaganda can change data if you like bribe all.media houses to sing your praise, reality and hunger will reset your brain.

1. We warned against Buhari, you called us wailers but data proved us right
2. We warned againt against Tinubu, you called us IPOB now data and hunger is proving us right
3. We are warning against wasteful white elephant new road construction, you are using propaganda to proceed. Soon, unemployment and frustration will set in....unfortunately you will drag the innocent ones along.

Some people were dashed zero IQ from.birth

Do you know why top economies on the continent seem exempted from this list? Do you think if you generate same list for North America or Europe you will find their top economies there?

alizma:
Well I appreciate your response but I still want you to understand that;
1. If you must step out to express your dissatisfaction, you have to step out with clear terms of request.
2. Most of our problem are as a result of our actions. The Nigerian government tried to improve on our agricultural and protect the interest of the farmers by banning imported rice, our people hijacked that privileged and today local rice is not affordable for an average Nigerian, the Naira nose-dive sometimes in 2021/2022, since then, Nigerians, especially the celebrities started trading on dollars, they buy dollars that they don't need for travel or purchase, keep it under their pillows and sell when the Naira crashes further, how many youths are talking about crypto currency or gold trading now, the focus is no dollar.
3. If we hit the streets and government decided to act, the moment EFCC picked somebody, people from his area will not focus on whether he is guilty or not, the question will be that is he the only one, why are others not arrested?
4. When dollar was going up, we saw how prices went up but the reverse was the case when dollar crashed against naira, was it the government that was selling garri, onion, yam, tomatoes etc, ?
Finally even as you step out to protest, if you jump too much and your phone drops out of your pocket, sope oti lo,

He don go

lwisee:
Nice one.
And there should be a customized 'asoebi' which must be worn by everyone residing in Lagos be you Igbo or Hausa most especially traders across the state.
Failure to comply should attract stiff penalties.
This will be a constant reminder that Lagos is Yoruba land.

Landlord calm down! 😂

Volksfuhrer:
Obi deserves every bashing he got from the author of this article. He called Obi a “minimalist” incapable of “grand visioning.” In simple English, Obi is unfit to be President! LOL.

brutal summary

Beautifulday:
A lot of idiots have access to microphone in Nigeria.This writer has not been to a beach before.

There are more that 100 businesses that offer products and services in a moderate beach without any investment interest not to talk of 200 million dollars investment.

When a company of these size goes down, a lot of other smaller businesses that offers complimentary businesses and services go down.

The smaller businesses may have 5 to 10 employees but when you multiply it by the number of such businesses, you will understand the after effect of such businesses going down.

Do you have a problem with comprehension?

jaxxy:
Nobody has to think they are smarter than anybody this was a public exercise and we saw the madness and national and global shame in real time colors viewing.

The only thing that saved Nigeria from imminent chaos and disaster was the peace loving nature of Peter Obi.

So the learned silks that represented the opposition candidates and parties in court were so daft not have been able to expose this so called global Shame but choose to pursue other matters?

If you don’t know people invested cold millions of dollars in the process yet accepted the outcome because they know the truth.

You see why you’ve to smarter than them to think otherwise.

kpompey:
You are not ok, V6 EOD at almost 3m, when usd is 1200.

I had check again the pictures again to confirm the model!

jaxxy:
yes accurately if we can have the untipexed results and consider the voter suppression figures in gubernatorial.

You must think you are smarter than the folks with skin, blood and sweat$ in the game.

jaxxy:
Obviously it did not and Nigerians know it.

Unless the US is being diplomatic we all know the levels of irregularities is beyond astonishing and a national and global disgrace.

Does the numbers support your position?

9jvirgin:
The 12 years anniversary of the deadly crash of DANA Air Airline flight 0992 is in five weeks.

The remembrance of ‘DANA’ will bring fear into the minds of many families who lost loved on the 3rd of June 2012.

Meanwhile, these people wants to give Keyamo hypertension he has acting like a superhero these days.

Keyamo IMHO is a net value creator but he needs freedom to act…fortunately the new admin is all about results.

RickyJesus:
Good amount of money that 80% of Nigerians would never see in their entire life.

Averagely how much? 100k pounds?

This is totally avoidable! We should pass a law that ensures politicians and civil servants are severely punished whenever such occurs to serve as a deterrent for all parties responsible.

I suspect this writer is on Fubara's payroll because he alluded that Wike is in currently in-charge of both APC & PDP in rivers state yet concluded he cannot win election in the same state.
