1. Fashola would have been a monumental failure if there was no well thought-out plan and foundation laid down. Guess what, the results you see fashola churning out now, was made possible by a think-tank put together years ago, Consisting of Ransome-Kuti, Pat Utomi,.....etc 2. Fashola would have been a failure if he had no good team working with him. His former commissioner of Finance (Prince Oyekan) was a guest at a dinner we organized back in school. This man was an embodiment of innovation, knowledge, numbers and direction. He reeled out what they've achieved and also what they are aspiring to achieve.....omo, you'll love to be associated with lagos. I felt so emmotional when he told us about their model of leadership transition. He confessed that their team we fortunate to have evolved from a dynamic crack team of Tinubu's government. He also said it is their intention to do same...i.e leave a lasting legacy in Lagos and much more raise a young generation of leaders who will perform better than they are currently doing. I felt on top of the world, cos when he said he will be delighted to have some of us in the graduating class (Business Generals as we fondly called ourselves then) mentored and prepared to step into leadership position in the state. 3. Fashola would have been a failure if his government is made up of no-gooders. Did you guys know that on Fashola's first term, ACN picked most of his commissioners for him; yet they gave a good account of themselve. On his second term, he told Tinubu to allow him pick most of his cabinet. Guess what, Tinubu oblige him, that he's earned it. Today he has a formidable crack team. For those of you thoughtless people abusing Tinubu without just cause, you're either ignorant, insincere or simply stupi,d. 1. Going by party tenets, Fashola would ordinarily not have smelt the governoship seat if not for Tinubu. Did you guys know what Tinubu went through to sell the candidature of Fashola to all local governments and wards? It was so bad that ACN almost disintegrated. It took the intervention of Pa Enahoro for people like Afikuyomi to come back to the party, yet he was ACN's monitoring head, despite his name being on ANPP platform for the election 2. Who discovered the leadership qualities in Fashola? Lagosians? Heck-no - TINUBU. The gyst was when Tinubu told him to prepare to be the governor, and Fashola wanted to refuse, Tinubu told him it's an order he can't refuse 3. Tinubu it was that opened up the government of Lagos state to the private sector, picking industry captain as commissioners and special assistants. No wonder Tunji Bello once said in his column in ThisDay that the state executive meetings were master pieces. People like Dele Alake, Tunji Bello (US based Lawyer and Media guru), Ben Akabueze (Former MD of NAL Merchant Bank), Muiz Banire(Lawyer and Lecturer Unilag), Arc. Towry Coker(Foremost Architect), Tunde Anibaba(Almost made it to Rector LASPOTECH), Rahman Owokoniran, Hakeem Gbajabiamila, Rauf Aregbesola etc |
Please permit me to voluntare an opinion and forgive me if I slant any islamic tenet. No purn intended But that Groom is a disgrace o. Woman wey yo never put for house demand for car, you dey go sharia court What if she demands for a house, you go carry am go hague ? He needs to be slapped.....GboyegaD: In the few Nikkais I have attended, they usually say the bride has a right to ask a special gift from the husband which must be fulfilled before they get married. Therefore in this case, I do not htink the lady has done anything wrong if I understand what they usually say. |
Thanks Bro. If anyone is in this mess, Pls PM me and I'll give you the contacts of my ex-lecturer. He's quite good. If we don't speak, we are digging the grave for generations to come. Training is part of the contract and labour engagement plan for any typical staff and no company has any right to BOND any staff. I'm sorry am passionate about this. Wallie: Things are not always that clear cut. Just because you willingly sign something doesn’t make it enforceable. |
By Business Law lecturer in Bskul told us that it is illegal for coys to get employees to sign BOND. In fact he said if employers want to bond us, we should sign and challeng them to take us to court. He quoted one case where FG sent a guy abroad and he was put on bond, the guy walked away from the useless bond and won in court... [quote author=Dr. Wise]My brother, Access bank would not kill job seekers with this funny bond. My wife signed that bond in 2009 after training school at Ikeja and left the bank the next year. Guess what?? They collapsed the 2M bond into her account which she already emptied and since then, it has been accruing debit interest. I wrote them a stinker and challenged them to take her to court but yet they have decided to take it on the guarantor who has equally asked them to seek redress in court. I am still waiting for them . . .[/quote] |
..and am still nursing the ambition of buying a bike..... |
Thank you my brother. In fact, I stopped reading the article when I got to the part "My name is ______"...... To say some gullible NLers will be making opinion on some junk pushed online by some unknown person and a junk press or website will publish it...... You can't all be collectively stupid ![]() obailala: What sort of dumb posts am I seeing here from Nlanders? |
1. Useless Bank of Africa (UBA) 2. Union Bank - can you imagine a senior officer shouting on a customer care officer - "you are wasting too much time with that customer.... " |
..enter bus, go ask the organizers.....mschhheeeewww afam4eva: I really don't see the basis for calling Lagos the most innovative city...what does that even mean? |
Trying to be clever by half.....Did you click the link and read the details to know the Lagos they are referring to? "Olodo" some of you guys are just skillfully bereft of basic reasoning..... Cyberknight: There is a city called Lagos in Portugal, after which Lagos in Nigeria was named. Question: which city was nominated, Lagos in Portugal, abi Lagos Nigeria? The city of overflowing gutters, uncontrollable agberos and danfo drivers, no public transport, unlicensed street markets, slums and filth? And ACN? |
[quote author=one_man]Where are the picture? Are these things in the pipeline or they are already existing. If you go to calabar you we see for yourself and also pictures from people that have been there. If your go to PH, Enugu, Edo, Lagos etc. You will see the development. Ameachi built the first model school with pipeline plans of employing indians to manage the schools. Chukwumerije is yet to visit these states. They (senators & reps members) will only blow the trumpet of the state that entertain them best. Wolves....?[/quote] Standing5: Pictures of Policies? NL with pictures |
I'd rather we allow the discussion of Educational Policies and Strategies of any state that's worth discussing on this thread. There is nothing bad if he brings Kano here. I like the fact that he took up the challenge and provided facts. I also think we can learn a thing or two from Kano's perspective.[quote author=Akanbi_edu]Funkymallam, Why don't you open another thread for Kano, this is about Osun. If you have a trumpet and you refuse to blow it, it's your problem. You can't blame others for blowing theirs.[/quote] |
Let me go straight to some key issues 1. You're entitled to your opinions, so no biggie 2. I'm tempted to believe that the crux of this thread is lost on you. First off, thank God that a non Osun, a non ACN member and the head of the Senate committe on education gave the verdict after an assessment. I am not too certain how many of such has been given by the same body. So if you point out that the best reform you saw were some few things, all well and good. I would have thought an understanding of Chukwumerije's statement bothering on translation of policies into strategy and action is the laudable effort. Besides, it is not compulsory that all the 18point be implemented in 1day or 1 year. what is important is that a sustainable foundation is laid and continually built upon. 3. With regards to the students in Ukraine, except you're on a journey in self deceit, then it should not be lost on you that the state government had done something noble and responsible with the situation all involved found themselves. First who's fault was it to enrol students on medical program when they were not ready to put in place the requisite teaching hospital and get it accredited. So you expect the state government to now leave the huge problem of Osun State medical students being in limbo and then be discussing some useless bond? 4. Please insult me as you wish, but if you care to check, the OP came into this thread with facts. Even Funkymallan that was challenged to do same did. Yet you expect us to gobble some unverified statements that they should have accessed grants from international bodies. Even at that, humour me a little; what is the correllation of "Research Grants" with the government's cost of running a state University. Is that what research grants used for to you ![]() 5. If you're still battling with how the state could have funded the 18 action point in the policy, i'll tell you that the summit itself had charged a sub-committee with the task of fund-raising strategies. I keep saying it that we take the easiest route of general critisism without critically looking at contents and workings of institution,yet we end up talking from an uninformed view Sky Blue: I will simply address the main differring views. |
So if they didn't put you on the spot, na "roforofo fight" you for start. Thanks sha, that's the spirit. Suffice it to say, I actually read that piece on when it came out a while back too. Funkymallam: See some here, will be back |
![]() You even hit the nail on the head more than I did Katsumoto: He doesn't have to employ federal character when talking about achievers. If he likes he can mention two only from the SW or one from the SW and two from the SS or only one from the SE. If he hasn't heard of good works from administrators in other regions, should he mention them just for the sake of applying federal character? ![]() |
Oga Mallam, Commending "each alike" without factual basis for such commendation is useless. Kano's gov is doing well, so we heard as well, but supply details so we can review it. It is even for our good. If your grouse is that we are talking about one and not the other, then you're probaly going to reduce the essence of this discussion to "roforofo-dog-fight" or "beer-parlor-analysis" Funkymallam: not blaming anyone bro but saying we should commend each alike. |
Oga Sky Blue.... Please check my reactions in the bolded underlined part. Sky Blue: With all due respect Mr Chukwumerije, I do not share your optimism. The only positive thing I saw in that report was the moving of Manufacturing facility for touch screen device to the state, and the patronising of local tailors for uniforms which are both good. I think you probably had not followed this issue since the educational summit and also the time we debated on the issue of the tailors and the laptop. What you say is good in the laptop, was widely condemed as a waste of time and funds. People here lampooned the initiative, say he should have built libraries, instead of investing in tablets. I think what I want to nail as an agreed point is the localizing of the manufacturing and knowledge transfer |
First off, If I had a junior brother among those students, I would have slapped sense into him or her. There are some riots that are not just worth it. Bursary ?? bunch of foolish lots. Their mates were becoming future billionaires, putting their God given capacities to task and good use, they are fighting over stupid bursary......which last time I checked, it's and alleviation scheme and not by right. |
Oga, the contradiction in your submission here will even nail these celebs the further. Ask them the if they knew the following words or personalities (all drawn from your submission) 1. Stagnant 2. Yardstick 3. Mentality 4. Karl Max 5. Potential And this is not in anyways talking about intelligence....and I dare say not yet. It is simply at the common and basic ingredient - "KNOWLEDGE". If we want to push it to intelligence, it will be disastrous.... rash47: Nonsense, one of the many reason nigeria will forever remain stagnant,how does the question in focus be a yardstick for measuring intelligence.....nigerians are wretched of the earth with their mentality. |
This Madam Lolo's name is Motunde. She is a lawyer by training but right from school, she's loved to compere and do MCs at christian shows. She eventually did not pursue her law career, rather went the way of radio and show biz...... ijebabe: She is also a radio personality. I don't know what her last name is but you can check out her twitter page @Lolo1wazobia |
I beg to disagree with you a bit. While the fact that celebrity status does not bequeath on them all knowledge, but the fact that they had some form of basic education(and I dare say SS3), some of the shameless displays are unbelievable. No wonder we struggle to find substance, lofty and valueable meaning, poetic skills and life lessons in songs of now-a-days. When Tell magazine released a feature "Generation of the Dullards" to bring to fore the decay in basic knowledge of our youths in secondary school, which was evidence by the year-on-year abysmal performance in WAEC, we never knew the ripple effect will so spread to all facets of life. It is a crying shame that these are the guys touted as role models. They have PMAN and the other faction EL DEE is heading, yet they know nothing of the word "Incumbent "... I wanna puke ![]() pro01: The fact that they are celebrities doesn't mean that they should be more knowledgeable or "intelligent" than the average Nigerian. In fact, I strongly suspect that many viewers/posters on this thread would first look up the word 'incumbent' to know what it really means (because they were hitherto unsure), and then subsequently mock the celebrities. Funny but true. |
Oga sir, 1. Building a 4-lane road in a neo-cosmopolitan/populated city in the 21st century may not make logical sense IMHO. I went to Park Avenue in New York a month ago and it was like the former Oshodi madness. Giant Multi-story buildings, with roads that cannot sustain the human traffic. You'll wonder in a typical area in the states when they had to combine traffic light, and traffic warders, road patrol officers, police men, temporary road dividers, to control traffic. If we don't start planning sensibly for the near future it will be mess/chaos 2. There are issues of overriding collective good that superceeds and individual's. Demolishing structures of individuals is one of the sacrifice some people have to make. I believe that Ayefele will be compensated, so what d biggie 3. Gbenga Adeboye of blessed memory's studio was about to be demolished by Marwa back then, and Adeboye went on his radio program to state that even though he'll suffer losses, but if it will be to the collective good of Lagos State and the area, then he's ready to pay the sacrifice. He even went on to further refer to his studio in his jokes as jingles as "ile ise wa, ki won to wo", meaning "my place of work before it is demolished". 4. With technology and engineering feat, nothing is impossible. If cities are built on water so roads can be built in virtually any terrain. onyxo76: i stay in ibadan. building an 8 lane road in the area may not really possible.too many filling stations and buildings will be affected .a 4 lane road is more realistic . |
seunowokade: This must be a big joke... I dont know what is wrong with our government expecialy Oyo State... No water, our roads are so bad, power failure is part of our system and all they could think of is demolishing and removing sign posts, Job Creation; for where....yet the issue on hand is to build a road and you fail to see it.....is it some drug you are or should be taking ![]() |
Bella3 is an Olodo bible student. John (the doctor)actually wrote the book of John, not John the baptist. John the desciple wrote revelations malaria: Did he arose after death, 2 write such. John the baptist is a cousin 2 Jesus Christ and his mission on earth ended after jesus's baptism. |
Looking at the Topic and some early postings, I dare to ask... Did many of you miss Sunday School when you were young? or Was Prayers and bible study not done in your homes ![]() 1. John is the Disciple in question. 2. But Is it not intruiging that Jesus built his church on Peter the Rock (so ojoro cancelled)....and that is the mark of leadership. |
We are really jokers...... I mean WTF ? Ajagun, Bright Ejike, Keneth Omeruo WTF |
This is the same story I heard too... thegoodjoehunt: There is no proof yet that they were cultists or robbers. Let us wait for the police to finish their investigation. |
@Ola_pluto, 1. I doubt you can vouch for any of the team members except you know them, and their parents and when they were actually born. 2. I'm not sympathetic to a cause where we shamelessly cheat and fail to realise we're hurting ourselves. First look at the team against Columbia, I told myself this is just too ridiculous and glaring. 3. The reporter has done his bit and it's left for us to also as people of integrity do our bit. How? Whoever went to primary or secondary school with the lady in question can say on this page. I've always said these things are easy to find out. Nigeria's goal keeper in Coach Tela's team played U17 @ age 30. A reporter went to Taiwo Ogunjobi with irrefutable evidence, yet Taiwo Ogunjobi refused to take him out of the team. I was in Primary 1 when Festus Odini was in Primary Six. In fact we used to call him "Boda De-Boy", yet the same was in U17 with Kanu, Oruma, Babayaro's team in 93. That year I slightly crossed 17. People that know Kanu will tell you he's closer to 50 now, yet claiming 36. Julius Aghahowa's wife was my wife's mate in the Uni. She got to Aghahowa when she was in year 3, and by then she was not a teenager. Julius played U20, after he was alledged to have served in the Police..... Gbenga Okunnowo, Ugbade, Furo-Iyenemi, etc are cases I know. 4. Truth is, we are doing ourselves disservice. We're not going to win this cup, so why cheat in the first place? There are some true and talented U17s who deserves the spots some of these girls are ILLEGALLY occupying, yet we rob their future and Nigeria's. These current girls will not even make it to U20, yet the true U17s who should have been discovered and taken by foreign clubs to help nurture their talent further woun't see them. Guess what happens, we keep getting worse as a team. Super Eagles has "graduated" to a point where we're not sure of qualification for Nation's cup, U21 teams struggle at international competition, despite cheating with 30 year olds against teenagers (I mean France recently defeated our old men)[quote author=ola_pluto]Thank you very much for bringing up this issue. The report is flimsy! Though I doubt the age of some of our players, but I can vouch for 70% of the team being U17. I recently posted the picture of some of the team players for people to judge. I will also repost some of the pictures if I have time. As for the 'proof' of the silly reporter, it is very flimsy and too thin. In fact, he got most of the proofs the wrong way round. His first evidence is that Blessing is the younger sister of Victoria. He concludes this because Blessing says 'God go make you BIGGER sis. Luv you to death'. He concludes that means she was referring to her elder sister (illiteracy). God making someone bigger doesnt mean they are your bigger sis. I think sometimes we need to be wary of lazy Nigerian journalists who always try to bring down our players.[/quote] |
Not necesssary. In business strategy, you may opine that you don't need a gigantic edifice to be profitable, especially when you're trying to re-align(downsize, right-size etc). This will also be a veritable options of raising funds, than debt financing (banks or Fiancial institutions) or equity financing (sell stakes) It's been a common practice in business world, although dangerous, cos their market is already led by iphone and samsung. But it may be worth the shot. Some top coys in the US have done this, in most cases the HQs are sold to top hotels...... afam4eva: Are they that poor that they would have to sell their headquarters? |
1. The write up is dumb. Let's assume this is not NL Nollywood 2. The premise and argument of both the writer and agent is even more stupid. So Oni's offence is that he did not allow a shipping agent to "squeeze" him....pathetic crap reasoning 3. How can a shipment of a 40' contaniner controll a whole market in a state ?4. So Oni shipping for his "supposed" girlfriend is giving an undue advantage ? Honestly I'm alarm as the volatility of common sense on NL at times?Aigbofa: Actually, I think the part about him having a girlfriend is balderdash anyway, it is nobody's business. He can even import a shipload of cooking oil, if it is legal. But importing refined cooking oil is not. |
![]() You know when some pps makes it to the state with questionable papers, live minimum wage life style and come back to 9ja to do nyanga, they just misjiive. The bobo thinks he's talking to his villagers and ancestors, whom he lies to and they gubble it up in awe...... the blind trying to lead.... Pls tell him we know about America by mere reading the media lagcity: i don't have any problems with Igbo except their blatant lies that can make Lazarus rise from the dead. Haba, the guy said that Igbos own 70% of businesses in Lagos, he just pulled it out of his arse. If we let them become governor, they'll claim that they developed Lagos and that it was like mogadishu b4 they took over. i don't know what the diagnosis is for such grand delusion of epic proportions. these guys are killing me wit the lies! |
abi... with pregnancy interview is failed already.... maclatunji: Congratulations! This is a very rare occurrence indeed. I don't think I have heard or read from a company announcing that their CEO has just given birth. |
Bros, See how you skillfully turned logic on its head [quote author=one_man]This shows clearly that GEJ is working. Lagos, Edo, Rivers, Enugu, Calabar, Akwa Ibom is atleast developing their state. If other governors will follow this developmental stride, the much soughted development will be achieved in no distance time. We are all Nigerians let us see this achievement as Nigerians and not partisan or tribal views. Remain bless...[/quote] |

What if she demands for a house, you go carry am go hague
