Roll your sleeves and get to work..

We want results

Exactly what is needed !

I have a feeling that the former heads of the respective agencies tried their best, but could have performed better, hence 'the advise' given them to resign honorably.

The project is Lagos to badagry, parts of Iyana Iba is not yet fully opened for usage, the stretch to Badagry is still incomplete but that Durbar junction has been a death trap.

The Mile 2, immediately after the bridge used to be terrible but was repaired.

What begs for questioning is: Were the contractors underpaid? Was there an inquest into why the road is needing repairs few years after construction.

This is taxpayers money, they should be held accountable.

Flooding and poor drainage is causing destruction of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. This happened at the Orile end of the Expressway inwards, at Alafia Bus Stop (though this has been repaired),Durbar Hotel Junction etc. This is also likely to happen at the other side of the Expressway at Mile 2 on the way to Orile as it also experiences severe flooding.
The Government should take a wholistic look at the entire drainage system of the Expressway.

Those roads are you horrible especially from Abule Egba to sango, from ijaye onwards is an eyesore. Meanwhile when there's heavy traffic and commuters try to pass one way, police is arresting only private drivers not commercial drivers... If u dey drive Honda no near those road lol

Its so sad that Motorists and commuters have to pass through such pain.

Good effort by the Governor. I hope he can complete the road as per the timeline promised as this will give his administration many accolades from the citizens.
The Lagos state end of that Expressway (From Alagbado to Abule Egba, Ahmadiyya, Meiran, Alakuko, to Sango Otta) is a very big eye sore and prone to flooding. I was in that Area in April 2024 and it was not pleasant to behold and experience travelling through there. I hope the Lagos State Government will keep their own promises about reconstructing the Expressway.

Only ondo oil pass , all igbo 3 states

Ondo might have more oil, but the East has the largest Gas deposits in the country with Imo State accounting for about 50% of this. Nigeria has the 8th largest Gas deposits in the world and with our oil expected to last for about 50 more years, unless new reserves are discovered, you can then guess where the future of the Nigerian economy lies.

I'm in love with Amy Okonkwo

But Griner is a beast

That was the lady who was arrested in Russia, but was released last year. Her height and gait are like those of a guy, so powerfully built.

This is so sad to read about.
May his Soul rest in peace, Amen. I pray that God comforts him and his family members.

We go again another time

Yes, the young lad has a great future ahead of him as he's just 19 years.

Its a very good judicial pronouncement by the Supreme Court; I hope the Elected Local Government Chairman and Councilors will keep faith with the people at the grassroots to ensure the much needed infrastructural and socio-economic development of those areas.

From the article, it's can be said that GSK took the divestment decision from Nigeria and other African countries for the purpose of increasing its profit margin to the detriment of Nigerian patients, especially those suffering from the Asthma ailment.
It is worrisome that over the years, our Pharmaceutical companies did not rise to the challenge to produce their own versions of Asthma reliving inhalers and antibiotics ((Augumentine is currently about N30,000 a bottle) which would have countered the excessive profit motive of the foreign pharmaceutical companies.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN), the private Nigerian Pharmaceutical firms and the Federal Government should meet and take cogent decisions that will enable the speedy production of high quality alternatives to those of foreign firms; this can be achieved through the provision of support to the local Pharmaceutical firms by the Government as this might save many lives in the end.

The man bore a child of doom !


Just improverished the father to enrich Akin Alabi.



What a sorrow called son 😔


Nature would have blessed him with a daughter in place of this.

It might be true that men are more likely to commit crimes; a wayward daughter can equally steal from her parents to fund her boyfriend's business or lifestyle. You assertion is thus questionable as crime knows no Gender.

RandomFellow:
They'll be caught! Greed is a major reason these guys are caught, and these ones have taken their greed to a whole new level! $1.5m? That's over 2 billion naira! They'll be caught, and soon!

The Police should start investigations by questioning their staff because they know the kidnapped man's worth; also the other 'expatriates' should be questioned too because many of them were born in Naija and know the streets too.

Mavericks everywhere

We are living in the past. The man himself look like an ancient person, those he built it for will sing praises to him to heaven. Nigeria is irredeemable!

Ancient and modern indeed.

This shows the disconnect between Politicians and the masses; in an era where boreholes are so much in use, the politician thinks that the people are still dependent on wells. Smh,

Thank God that she has been found, I hope she recovers fully from her ordeal.

I noticed that their call centre was no longer answering calls; but their X handle (@MTN180) always comes to the rescue, though they might take some time to respond.

Congratulations to her for achieving this feat, as its not a mean feat.

I wonder if she has a Youtube channel which would have highlighted various stages of her travel, as the Dutch Motorcyclist, Itchy-boots has.

I WILL EXIT THIS THREAD NOW, AND ALLOW U TO CONSOLE YOURSELF THE WAY YOU KNOW HOW.


NIGERIANS ARE NOT HAPPY.

THOSE INDIANS THAT ARE CONDEMN TO CLEAN SHIT WILL ALSO TELL YOU THEY ARE HAPPY.


DEM GET CHOICE.


DIE IN SQUALOR THEN IT ENDS.

I KNOW YOU ARE OVER THERE CARRYING WHITEMAN SH.T AND IT PAYS HIGHLY.

WHAT AM ONLY TRYING TO POINT IS THAT YOU MIGHT BE WELL OFF AND UNHAPPY; YOU COULD ALSO BE POOR AND BE UNHAPPY TOO. IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR MINDSET AND OUTLOOK TO LIFE THATS ALL.

@Ops, you truly hit the nail on the head.

I have often said to others that, happiness or joy, is a state of the human mind and is NOT dependent on external situations or circumstances.

In the midst of galloping inflation and uncertainty, unsteady power supply and insecurity, Nigerians have always found ways to give them joy and gladness; its little wonder that we were once termed the happiest people in the World.

The British weather alone is enough to dampen the morale of Britons, coupled with the strangulating high rate of taxation, credit card debts etc.
I guess humans cannot have it all.

Showcasing her 'Chimney' like skills, I guess.

Thank God UK doesn't have DSS. He'll be in the cell already

They have something similar (MI5) which is responsible for domestic counter intelligence and security.

Zico5:

If u don't know anything, better keep OAU out of ur mouth. I am very conversant with OAU and they don't admit beyond their quoo ta. Even my nephew whom I sponsor through medical school just graduated from OAU last year. So better keep ur mouth shut if u don't have genuine things to say. U don't know the person u are arguing with. OAU don't admit beyond their quota.

I will not exchange words with an uncouth fellow like you. Mere arguments, you immediately descend to your primordial nature.

I have medical friends who attended OAU and they told me about admission policy for medical students at the university at that time; its possible that things have changed over time at the institution.

I will like to know which higher institution you attended.

Zico5:
Are u also counting over bloated number that UNN are admitting to study medicine? So u are counting the money induced numbers that UNN used to admit as part of the medical intake. The last I know, the number of quota for medicine there is less than 180, where did they come about 500 for medicine and 120 for dentistry. I learnt from some of their students that even with 200 in utme, u can gain admission to study medicine and dentistry so far u can pay. Even university of Ibadan with the highest quota don't admit as such. Let's see where MDCN come in.

All you have written is based on hearsay.
I know UNN, like OAU, admits a lot of medical students, but use the 2nd MB exams to weed the number to those who truly deserve to study medicine and surgery. Also, standards were also very high back then when I was at UNN as I knew some medical students who had to change to other courses of study as they could not pass the 2nd MB exams, even though they had parents who were lecturers in the Medical faculty.
So what you are saying about getting admitted with a score of 200 to study medicine at UNN is an absolute fallacy.
UNN graduates call themselves Lions and Lionesses because they know the worth of certificates they were awarded and this cannot be rubbished by unsubstantiated allegations of tale bearers.

The pictures look like those of the high rise towers at the beginning of Bishop Aboyade Cole Street Victoria Island, when coming from the Ahmadu Bello Way.
If the above is true, it means the highway will intersect the Akin Adesola Road and continue to the Lekki Coastal Road using bridges to cross the Kuramo water etc.
The above might just be speculations, but let us wait and see how it develops.

Its sad to know that the disease has claimed 20 lives; however, I do not believe that its from God.

Meningitis is normally very rampant during the dry season when weather conditions are usually very hot and stuffy.

A vaccine to combat the ailment is available and the state government should have administered it to students during this very hot weather to avert the outbreak of the disease.

I hope that next year, states like Yobe, Borno and others which are known to be very hot during the dry season will take preemptive measures to avoid a similar outbreak like this one.

Princewell2012:
we are on the estimated bill. This January they brought 96, 000 without even seeing the light. We are begging them to come and remove the wire.
Buhari said we are going to miss him, we all thought it is a lie. Many people said God fobid that we should
Miss Buhari. This man is not even up to one year in office. Believe me Nigerians in a deep soup.

96 k ! This is truly outrageous. I am sure you might be living in a flat and not a whole house.
Buhari saw tomorrow, its so sad.

Dantepet5000:
I just calculated the amount I spend on fuel per week and its #15,000. Imagine. During Jonahs regime is was #5,000... I never even talk of generator fuel and cooking gas oh. See Nepa bill, dstv & other utilities....in this Nigeria we will soon understand why some people venture into crim

Most Lagosians living on the mainland, but work on the Island spend, on the average, 30k per week as fueling costs.
Many have resorted to leaving their rides at home and joining the blue rail line which is faster and can reduce commuting costs to about 10k per week.
Also, many are on the Gotv package now where they go for the cheaper packages of between 3k to 6k per month.
Many who are on NEPA's prepaid meter billing system are also cost conscious now as they don't leave the lights in unoccupied rooms on and have changed their bulbs to low energy bulb, use more recent electrical appliances, refrigerators and Air conditioners, that consume less power. For those still on estimated billing system, sorry is your second name.
Also Generators, when used, are usually on between 8pm to 11pm to allow children do their homework and other chores, listen to the news and also cool stored soup and stew in the refrigerator so that the do not go sour when NEPA disappoints.
The above, and many more, are strategies the working class are using to cope with the tough times.

The Act governing the National Judicial Council(NJC) should urgently be reviewed as this is the body regulating the appointment, discipline and promotion of Judges in the country; it is therefore puzzling that the Chief Justice of the Federation (CJN) who is a Judicial officer himself, should be the head of the NJC.

The above scenerio is like giving a hungary man a knife and placing him beside a low hanging coconut tree and later blaming him for helping himself to some fresh juicy nuts from among them.

Many Nigerians who are grumbling about the above nepotistic appointments will do worse if they are in the CJN's shoes; so the the law governing the NJC needs to be changed, asap, to prevent such unmerited appointments in the future.

Basicend:
Baba Jagaban.

If you had removed subsidy on Fuel and kept stabilizing the Naira value, Nigeria would have avoided what is besetting her now.

You are have been importing refined crude (PMS) at daily prevailing exchange rates which has been very high, and had to subsidize the price to the end-consumers at around #600 or so.

In effect, your govt kept paying so much subsidy on litres of imported PMS, coz Naira value kept dropping at a galloping rate. Concurrently, running back to still subsidize naira value, occasionally (at hazardous times).

That is why the govt is extremely gassed out, and broke now. It could hardly pay salaries of its workforce, while the masses are dying of stark hunger.

You need to wear a garment of strong sacrifice now, and forget about embezzlement (including your cabinet members and legislators) otherwise, the dryness on the ground (Nigeria) will be xtreemly mighty.

Focus on gaining value, and stability to the Naira. Be really to sacrifice indeed for Nigeria, perhaps there could be hope.

I agree with your submission that the stabilisation of the value of the naira is of utmost importance, because if the value of the naira keeps falling against the dollar, then refined product prices will keep rising steadily since they are imported using dollars.
The private polling firms that conducted polls about the popularity of Presidential aspirants in the country last year can help conduct polls on the popularity of the present Government and its policies among the populace of the country.

matify83:
Hmmm!

The over reliance on the Dangote refinery as a panacea to solving all our economic woes is pedestrian.

For one Dangote who is buying crude at international dollar denominated price is going to be selling refined products at cost reflective rate which may end up being at par with what obtains currently.
We are more guaranteed of products availability than lower prices when the product hit the market.

I don't think the Federal Government should sell crude at international prices to Dangote Refinery because it is for domestic consumption.

It's being said that average cost of production of a barrel of crude oil in Nigeria is about $35; so if the Government adds a profit of $20 and sells it to Dangote Refinery at $55(current international price per barrel is hovering between $75 to $80) it's a win-win situation for the Government and the populace as the Government will still make some profit, while ensuring that fuel products gets to Nigerians at cheaper prices than we currently are paying.

Such a move as above will push down the rate of inflation through lower transportation cost for commuters and goods and services, while conserving our foreign reserves as money will not be spent on importation of fuel products and other petrochemicals (which were once stated to make up to about 70% of our imports); finally it might lead to an appreciation of the value of the naira against the dollar and other currencies.

LeeMason:
If the drainage doesn't have slabs to cover it. It's still useless.

It's not useless, but it needs to be covered with slabs to serve as walkways for pedestrians.
Also, it will be nice if all roads have pavements.
