kasay:
How old are you?? What's your level of education??

I'm asking because it's only an uneducated kid that will make this kind of silly comment.

If you are not an uneducated kid, you should know that Fashola cannot embark on any project without budgetary provision and approval.


It's the budget he was defending that prompted that assurance of 24month lagos-Ibadan road completion. Also, be reminded that Fashola wasn't sworn in on May 29th.

He was appointed last year November.

It's the presence of too many irritating and uneducated kids on Nairaland like you that make most of us stay away from here.

Your questions were so premeptive and on the spot, I mean for someone who said this

comos: [size=16pt]Fashola brought in Bi-Courtney beacuse of political reasons.
[/size]

We need someone to unearth where the NL wailers also meet and the original identities of the wailers

comos:
where was Bi-Courtney when the Road was constructed from sagamu Interchange to RCCG during GEJ era.

[size=16pt]Fashola brought in Bi-Courtney beacuse of political reasons.[/size]

If you want to know those APC politicians behind Bi-Courtney, I will tell you.

OMG!!!! I've had it.

I never knew I was discussing with an infant mentality.

@OP,

1. Salaries are paid on pro-rata basis.
2. You most likely were not cheated
3. Have you factored tax deductibles?

comos:
you spend a lot of time to do such write-up defending fashola, I ask a simple question only for you to answer with 300 cartoons. That shows your level mentality.

Gov. Wike was in AIT (political Platform) this morning, where he said that all the contract awarded by Amechi is been continue by his government. mr man government is continuum.

This leads to my question

Why fashola did not ask Julius Berger and RCC to continue with the project ?

Bros,

1. My "level of mentality" (maturity I guess you meant) is at way beyond yours
2. Unfortunately, it's here you're immature, ignorant or lacking in understanding. The FG that sacked Bi-Courtney created a complicated situation, Bi-Courtney took them to court........., creating a messed-up arrangement, RCC and Julius Berger are owed contract fees.
3. Considering the hurried rate GEJ rushed the duo to continue the project, as he was using it as a campaign reference (another absurdity), there was bound to be complications and why the project cannot continue immediately
4. Have you not heard where Fashola called Bi-Courtney, Julius Berger and RCC to settle out of court, so that the project can continue........

You simply left me to waste a little time explaining what is in the public space to you. Is that the level of your "mentality"?

comos:
please give me numerical answer, not insult.

300 cartons

sweetgala:
Innoson are doing a great job, they need to improve their PR.

Proforce has been put there building Armoured vehicles for the army and police for a while now, and are also involved in developing naval vessels from grouf up. They have supplied almost all the state governments with military vehicles of their own design built from scratch for over 8 years now.

Nothing new, Don't keep yourself over Yoruba matter. More importantly don't shout about innoson while you yourself contribute nothing.

cuteboy2:
Please please please guys. All these hatred is not necessary. I know you did not start it. The reason why we are still in the dust is because of this mutual hatred.

It is obvious that the Yorubas, Igbos, Ibibios, Ijaws, Hausas and indeed all nationalities are extremely talented.
Why don't we just harness our collective strengths to make Nigeria the greatest nation on earth, rather than dissipating our energy on pointless fights and name calling?

Who has all this fighting helped? I am sure if you go to the factory floor at Proforce or Innoson, you will not find only Yorubas or Igbos working as skilled artisans there.

Our leaders have to to set the example here. How so powerful it will be if we see someone like Tinubu, Mike Adenuga, Otedola, Obansanjo, Oba Sikiru Adetona, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu going on factory visit to Innoson Vehicle Motors at Nnewi and making positive and supportive comments.

Same for Obi of Onitsha and other prominent Igbos visiting Proforce workshop. It will send a powerful signal.

Presently, the new Oni of Ife is busy doing familiarization tours, but he is currently restricting his movement only to Yorubaland. You hardly see Oba of Lagos attending any function in the East not to talk of going near any South-South state. The new Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido is doing the exact same thing. He has only gone to Lagos to greet his political friends in APC. He is yet to step foot any South-South state. Why?

The followers pick this cue and body language from thier leaders spew more hatred.

These behaviour must change if we are to move forward as a people and strong nation. Thus far, we are just exhibiting the classical crab-in-a-bucket syndrome. Pulling each other down.

SAD

Marotzke:
Umu Igbo kedu ife ne eme unu? Even after Achebe's admonition, this chest beatings , arrogance and exhibitionism still persists. What happened to the Akpa uche concept of quietly eating your chicken inside your room and displaying fishbones outside? How does making fun of yorubas or revealing your strategic plans help Ndigbo or Innosons?

Before your very eyes Tinubu and his PA Fashola collected 30% of all capital projects in this current Budget. Add fayemi,Shittu, Adewole and you have a tribe who have pocketed 50% of the spending proposition of the current Government. Kemi is there to make sure money is released as at when due. TSA is there to make sure no story on money availability.

Babatunde Fowler has been positioned to tax the living daylights out of you to fund the proposed recunstruction of Southwest.
The New Ooni is busy reconciling Tinubu,Obasanjo, Oba Akiolu ,Alake etc so that they can take advantage of this opportunity that this Simpleton of a president have created for them. Shebi, Buhari have taken Oil,SSS, Defence and FCT. (What does he know?).

In all these, not only are the Yoruba quiet about their new fortune, they go the extra mile to keep silent on their recent goodluck. You online idiots think that you are smarter than the Gbawes, Arresa's ,Omenkas of this world, who are gleefuly silent on their good fortune and are doing everything to distract you from focusing on this criminal heist of the nation's patrimony.
Just negodu the paltry change that Innoson will make compared to the organized thievery that fashola will superintend over and tell me which tribe should be celebrating?

1. I couldn't help but laugh at your view point. You're entitled to it and I'm not even taking you on that
2. Your advise is good. On a Yoruba-Igbo friendly thread, we had suggested Unity within, and consequently marshal a plan for the East. This should then inform the basis of your Industry, Polity and Commonwealth.
3. Hating on Fashola, Tinubu, Ooni, Obasanjo and co is just a needless distraction if you ask me.

comos:
how many meters have fashola added to the road since GEJ left

Is that your headache? ha! I will advise you to go and stock our room with pile loads of paracetamol o

greenpasture:

meccuno: The group of people that won't like this are 1. Boko Haram 2. The White Man 3. The Tribes Who Don't Like Anything Igbo 4. People Who Don't Want The Progress Of Nigeria............but why do we still use alpha jets? When there are f15 and f16s.....?? @ least we can start from there!! Very soon, innoson would start manufacturing air crafts

I don't think we should wax ethnic on this issue - but rather be proud that NIGERIA is developing local capacity. Proforce which is located in the SW is also producing personnel carriers and MRV's for the army. A great development. Let's celebrate this. South Africa are way ahead of us on this but we can catch up.

regarding the Alpha Jet. You are right. It is outdated and some funny people in the last couple of years bought us Chinese F7's that were horrible and led to the loss of many of our pilots. The good news is that Nigeria has now booked for the J17 Thunder which is a 4.0 generation fighter. It doesn't pay Nigeria to buy from the U.S as buying from the U.S is very difficult and takes a long time. Time we don't have right now. The J17 is a very good fighter, ground attack plane.

1. You know we are our worst enemies. Imagine how this degenerated into a tribal contest.......
2. I am with you on this line of thought. I once related a story of how China, had bought a decomissioned Carrier from Ukraine and reverse-engineered it, today, China is testing a second home-built Carrier. India has leveraged from IT expertise to virtually everything you can think of. India few years ago lauched their first home-built fighter Jet
3. Innosson had been around since 1982/83, Proforce had been building Bullion Vans and Bullet proof cars for banks and security outfits....these shouldn't go to waste or not be fully exploited
4. We have smart guys in Nigerian Army Engineers(NAE) and Nigerian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers(NAEME) who should continue this partnership with private companies like Innosons and Proforce and the likes.
5. We need to set 10year plan of building the first made in Nigeria Jets, Amoured Tanks etc

On my recent road trip from Lagos to Kogi state (about 700km), I encountered only 2 stretches of what you will refer to as manageable
1. Ilesha - Akure - which is not even dualised
2. The abandoned Redeem to Christopher University - A stretch of about 25KM

Isn't this a call for concern

chudionu58:
We are waiting for Fashola to initiate his projects and complete them!! APC e-fools should stop stylishly taking credits for Jonathan's projects.

like Lagos Ibadan expressway?

Ephemmm:

comos: :


It took GEJ 5 months to build that road from sagamu interchange to RCCG.

for 8 months your "ineffectual Fashola Buffon" has running aimlessly from pillar to post, blaming past Administration, banning importation of small generator and increasing electricity tariff.

he should work the talk. this is Nigeria, not Lagos.

Propaganda will fail him this time.

It took your ineffectual buffon 6 years as President and 2 years VP to do that. However, who told you that Sagamu interchange to RCCG has been completed? You need to wake up from your slumber.


^{You lie is as fake as GEJ till 2019, walahi}

1. @Comos, please stop lying or saying what you don't know

2. I just had a road trip all the way from Lagos to Ogori-Magongo in Kogi state, just this past weekend. You will feel the pang of what Fashola is saying........

3. Lagos Ibadan expressway is not what @Comos should even refer to. RCCG to whatever university does not even count for a completed standard job. How in this millenium will a government start a project of such magnitude in a confused manner and allow such confusion to permeate the project. Lagos Ibadan expressway should be a 10-lane standard road, with drainage, lights, and associated services

4. It is also a shame that the major road from our #1 Airport (MM1) is nothing to write home about. Conventionally, in any sane country, the road from the airports are given priority attention, much more that's what bring in investment traffic into your country. I recall when Tinubu was governor of Lagos, he awarded the contract for the MM1 road to Julius Berger. Julius Berger moved in to start work and Ogunlewe led his FERMA thugs to attack Julius Berger. I heard Julius Berger was threatened from Abuja, to loose all their major contracts, should they build that road.....fast forward 12years later, nothing was done and the road is worse.......Meanwhile, I will expect Amaechi to be considering how will we line rail tracks to MM1. How can we not have a train access to the Nation's flagship Airport.

5. I like Fashola's approach and we all have to be dispassionate about it, and much more change our orientation. In my estate, the residential association decided to take on the road projects and levied us. They came up with a strategy to distribute the roads EQUITABLY and not EQUALLY. The logic is that a road that has over 80% of cars plying should take priority over inner roads........fast forward 2year later, we are 85% completed on the major roads, and well meaning residents in each zone had even taken up the inner roads. Value and Rents have gone up. It is important to let FG do all these marked high priority roads, even if it is not in my state. These are the roads that will increase high-value commerce and accelerate economic development. There is a 10-lane road from Johanessburg to Cape-Town (an equivalent distance of Lagos-Maiduguri) built during the Tabo Mbeki administration. Today in South Africa all major new factories and industry lines the road, especially the currently ongoing Sun City mall, touted to be the biggest mall in the world

TheFreeOne:
I'm not holding fort for Fayose but can you avail us a copy of the video As for the money in question time will tell to reveal all things.

APC should learn to accept defeat and stop crying over spilled milk lest they derail our democracy cos some judgments ain't in their favour.

1. For me it's not about should Fayose be removed. It is about addressing a system where was brutally basatardised to ruthlessly kill the electoral process
2. Those that are culpable should face the law
3. Seargent Koli's video
4. APC had accepted defeat. Fayemi did.

Montaque:
U should know that part of the grounds furnished by APC during the tribunal was The use of the military to rig the election. despite the prove of that, the court upheld the election. The SC affirmed that. If fresh evidence emerged after the finality of the decision of the supreme court on the matter, it cannot be re litigated again.
even if fayose is indicted by the panel as set up, they can only wait till he ceases to be governor. it has been held by the SC that immunity cannot bar proper investigation by the police. But jurisdiction to present those evidence in court is inchoate during the Tenure of the accused.
In fact, the cases Falana mentioned were all to the effect that election petition tribunal has jurisdiction over the elected governor over the election process, and that he cannot hide under immunity to avoid being a party at the tribunal. However in this case, the tribunal has given its judgement and is at now, functus officio.
I will advise that they gather their evidence till 2018, when he ceases to be governor.

I think you miss my points, which are
1. Fayose was declared winner......not in doubt
2. Military tribunal in effect was about the role the military played
3. The allegation of 4.7billion needs to be investigated

these are distinct issues

TheFreeOne:
I beg to disagree. Fayose guber election has been laid to rest at the supreme court.

As for those who still believed Fayose rigged, I say they are on a long thing cos should that election be conducted again with Tinubu or Buhari as candidates it will still be a landslide for oshokomole.

The undeniable fact: Fayose is a grassroot politician, very popular and acceptable to his people.

1. That Fayose won the election as confirmed by Supreme court is different from the precedent that needs to be set to deter election rigging and wanton wastage of our resources just to pursue election as a do or die affair.
2. Fayose was seen on video planning the rigging of an election. The facts of the video as corroborated by Aluko is what played out. This needs to be investigated and culprits brought to book
3. It is the perogative of the Ekiti people to keep voting Fayose, if they so please. But it is our collective responsibility to make sure our money is not spent illegally and the 4.7billion Illegally spent to "execute" Fayose's election in Ekiti needs to be recovered

samplegirl:
This post is our normal mentality. Take time to check his third point. Typical us.

Is my mentality rocket science for you?

tonychristopher:
I CAN BET MY LAST KOBO THAT YOU ARE A YORUBA MAN...THE WAY YOU SPEAK AND WRITE....ITS NO BEEF BUT AN OBSERVATION

1. What is there to hide about where I come from? I have said it before on this forum. YES!!! I am a Yoruba man from Oba Osogbo Osun State (Originally from Efon-Alaye, Ekiti, but great-grand pa migrated). Satisfied

2. As you know I would ask, what's really the value of that wrt to the discussion? That the "invention" should not be subjected to scrutiny? Did you know the first sets of cars and locomotive train engines were steam based? where are they today?

gbenga4sure:
No i don't think so,all i did was just commend him in respect to his tribe.I just wish all e-tribal war staters could know that this doesnt add to or reduce their self worth.

Simple thing is, rather you just post on merit and leave "commend him in respect to his tribe", if you want e-tribal war to go away.

Playing the devil's advocate here.......

1. There are proper channels to get things done right. Posting pictures of "inventions" on social media will not go far
2. His "invention" needs to be subjected to scrutiny and the market plausibility needs to be ascertained
3. Of the top of my head, if this is truly a water-based generator, then it's a near failure on arrival. Steam engines have been retired since the early 1930s. What is the power output capacity of this engine and what load can it power?

gbenga4sure:
Wow,dis good.This dude gonna shake the world with his innovation.Brilliant nigerian,brilliant ibo. Pls lets just encourage our own and no tribal war.Once again,brilliant ibo.If u lyk to know, I'm a yoruba.

seems you've fanned the embers of tribal war already. You could commend him without resort to tribe

Humour me. You mean Nigeria Airforce used jets that are not weaponised to bomb Boko Haram? - You could not keep to the facts of the story. Why is it that Alpha Jets supposedly bought by GEJ administration is just getting weaponised over a year after purchase....you're showing some stupid videos.....

anonimi:
Deficient according to the PROPAGANDA of this directionless federal administration or what?
For how long shall you guys continue spewing trash of LIES to excite and titillate your dumb followers?
The same deficient aircraft have been used in battles against Boko Haram terrorists prior to this STORY of "reconfigure" oh
Haba, na wetin

Published on May 3, 2015
Nigeria’s military has released videos of its ongoing counter-terrorism operations to dislodge Boko Haram terrorists inside the notorious Sambisa Forest.

The video showed the dexterity of Nigerian Air Force pilots, as they taunt the terrorists, with hundreds of them running helter-skelter and fleeing into different directions.

In another footage, vulnerable women and children were seen cautiously and deliberately guided to safety by the Nigerian pilots.

So Jonathan actually bought airplanes and other military equipment yet the APCshit liars will not let us hear word with their propaganda by Comical Lai Mohammed & co.

Idiot! What is the essence of buying weapon deficient aircraft for battle?

However, the aircraft could not be deployed to the theatre of operation before now due to the inherent weapon delivery deficiency hence its limited use for training purposes.

Redoil:

Obiagelli: SWF = ECA

foriegn debt= $3 billion

borrowing by a developing nation to fund project is very deadly esp when it comes to bubu and lie mohamed.

@Redoil,
why don't you stand aside, watch and learn. This discussion is obviously beyond your comprehension

Do you guys know we do not have enough of CERTIFIED
- Plumbers
- Bricklayers
-Welders
- Electricians
- Builders
- Interior Decors
etc.

The Chinese company that did Mile12-Ikorodu roundabout, had to retrain the supposed Nigerian welders (as the LSG had included the use of local content in a clause in the contract)for 3 months, before they could be let in on the project.

Many of us in white collar jobs are better handy men and these type of training are great opportunities for a lot of people

calcal:
This another waste right there! FG investing on training bricklayers, thats NO GOOD. FG want to take away the job of Baba Sikiru the bricklayer. Baba Sikiru trained over 20 bricklayers in the past 20 years without the involvement of FG. he award certificate upon completion too.

.....and you think you ahve made sense?

TheGoodJoe:
This is a welcomed development and I hope the quality of the courses improves to more IT related fields like 3D generated modeling and Digital presentations.

Bros,

I somehow find your statement vague. Is improvement in quality of courses contingent on IT related course like "3D generated modelling" and "Digital presentations"?

Divine healing is your right as a child of God

The statement is poorly written, in bad taste and unprofessional. Such a person should be fired.

princejayboss:
It's not chest beating... It's real. ..... If you are physics student in Nigeria and keep arguing that the exploration is justified then you need to tell your lecturer yo quit his job....

This is one problem with Nigerians and our educational system... We never upgrade.... I use to argue foolishly like you when I had my B.Sc. in Nigeria but when I went further to this stage of Ph.D. I realized the need for our lecturers to upgrade From sentimental and wrack teachings....


Final question, why is NNPC doing the exploration... When has NNPC become an oil exploration company.. ""

Stop and think

Your case is simply that "premature ejarculation" of new found learning and knowledge missapplied. You're asking stuupid questions. What's the meaning of asking "if NNPC is an exploration company". At this rate I'm persuaded to discontinue any discourse with you as this exchange with you is giving me no value. As for PHD...

SURElee:
Permit me to say that Nigerians would feel this way because I think we are allowed to ask, why did blackface keep mute about his song being stolen only to wake up from his slumber because the ojuelegba song won a Headies award?
