There are 3 qualified short listed firms according to the article being Oranto Petroluem, Universal Elysium Consortium and Inland Containers Terminals Limited. The MD said they have an Igbo concessionaire in an article I posted a few weeks ago. Unless Universal Elysium Consortium is an Igbo company its going 1. I still believe ICTL will be declared one of the winners considers their success in Kaduna.

While confirming that the Onitsha and Baro River ports have been concessioned through a competitive process, he added that the concessionaire of Onitsha port is of Igbo origin to make the management of the port easy.

docadams: It will surely be two firms from that region or, at least one, just so to avoid unnecessary furore. Again, there lies the danger when two Ibo brothers are allowed to struggle for control of a business. It will us ually be a do or doom affair.

Ekez:
"Concession was mired in controversy"
Tomorrow now dem go say the port is "technically completed".

Peter Obi, on Channels TV. Hear him

He debated a professor of economics in University Of Abuja and laid out solid points which earned him admiration and praises all over Nigerian media space. Except you want to be economical with the truth, the Prof. floored Obi on all counts. The Prof was factual, articulated and truthful. Something Obi was not on that session. Obi gave false data and when he was asked for the source of the data, he was beating about the bush

Here are 10 quotes from his debate on channels.

1. “ If a man has not created wealth. He cannot manage wealth “... ...and what makes this gospel? Because Obi said so? Some of you lots just mak/follow baseless assertion. Many Managing Directors of good companies inherited wealth already made and have gone ahead to make much more wealth while managing.


2. “Unemployment is worsening. In 2017 our unemployment ratio moved from 14.8% to 18.8% this year. This means that more people have lost their jobs. We can’t survive like this “. Unfortunately for both you and Peter Obi, this interpretation is wrong and shows your ignorance. The DG of NBS have explained that the unemployment stats, does not mean job losses alone. We have a situation where on the average about 4million people enter labour market on a yearly basis and the industry has no capacity to absorb them all.


3 “You are borrowing money and the issue it was supposed to affect is not coming down. Poverty is increasing , children out of school moved from 10 million to 12 million. “Peter Obi was challenged to name the source of his data on the underlined and he wasn't able to give a credible evidence. He could only mentioned the words of a nameless UBEC official. Is UBEC official the certified repository of credible data?. If Peter Obi had been truthful, the recently released GDP numbers should have told him that transport sector(21.76%) and infrastructure sector (construction 7.66 %, Electricity 7.59%) had tremendous increase in growth. These are the major sectors monies was borrowed for


4. “ I remember Ngozi Okonjo Iweala crying everyday. Begging Us to save this monies for the rainy day. All the Governors disagreed. They said let us share it. Now we are borrowing to feed.” Peter Obi just shows here that he lack principle and will. So let us start with Why doesn't he own up to the fact that he was part of the governor's forum? Why doesn't he own up to the fact that the major reason why the governors clamoured to share the money was that the same Ngozi and GEJ were unilaterally spending money from the SWF without the knowledge and approval of the governors? Let's say the governors took their own 49%, pray tell, where is the 51% Ngozi and GEJ saved?

5 “ All I Know is that Governance has nothing to do with age. Today the Youngest Governor in Nigeria is an Unmitigated disaster”.

6. “ In a State in the North the number of children that sat for WAEC is 128. This state has about 5 million people. This is not acceptable “. Can either you or Peter Obi show tell us which state is this? WAEC publishes the stats on numbers of students registered per state on an annual basis from time immemorial. In the last 5years, there is no state in the country that ever had less than 5000 students registered for WAEC. Where did Peter Obi get his 128 from?

7. “ I don’t have any single property in this country outside Onitsha. If you see any property outside Onitsha and they say it belongs to Mr Peter Obi. Burn it! “

8. “ When you are borrowing for consumption. It gets to a stage when you cannot control it”. Peter Obi the hypocrite! who borrowed for consumption? Is it a government that borrowed for infrastructural development projects or the one that borrowed to pay salaries?

9. “ Nigerians cannot aim for sky scrapers when we cannot maintain simple toilets “

10. “ I cannot pay 250,000 for one night in a hotel. I wouldn’t sleep that night. I will feel like I have been robbed. “ It's high time he stops this hypocritical pious BS

Afamed:
Did Dasuki also influence the government to share the Treasury during the election? Peter Obi is known as an advocate of narratives that favour his personal interest.

Hmmm, Ekiti election

kaorama:
Na Igbo matter go kill this government. Make dem dey rush us.

No sense in diginity in the pursuit of state assignment and use of power. It's so unfortunate.

thorpido:
I'm sure he got his papers regularized.
Government can give you approval and still revoke the approval or come up with the 'interfere with the right of way' statement.At that level,you can't do anything.At best,they will compensate you because they gave you the documents in the first place.
Government owns and pays the courts.To have the government against you is a hard thing.Just pray not to be in government bad books.

The man is an patriot for demolishing the house of Ayefele the christian.
We yoruba muslims love him. Even my yoruba muslim friend deomelo agrees with me.

kolnel:
Lol
That building shouldn’t have been there in the first instance
Many buildings were demolished on that road when the road construction was on
Ayefele should head to court if he thinks he has a case and sue the government

AutoReportNG:
Did you manage to read the body and the headline? Did you see the word Marina axis and not the main project?

Please let's be slow to talk and type, before you critize, do your findings and reading well, you are way off what the subject matter is all about, if we are to do a reportage on all the rails it will be in episode that is by each rail stations so watch out for that

Have a lovely day at work

So India is now into copycat
FCA should just reduce the price of their jeep instead of blocking Mahindra from entering the US

Iolo:
How this topic got to FP is baffling to me. This is August and the OP chooses to use his latest knowledge from March to refute the progress stated on a previous thread?

Of course there’s been progress made since then.

AutoReportNG:
Last week a topic graced the front page of Nairaland forum saying that the Lagos Blue Light Rail in its final phase. One can't but laugh at such assumption as the claims of the author is far from the truth. The Lagos Blue Light Rail was the brainchild of Lagos State Government, it was started during the administration of the former governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, during his era, he tried to make sure that the project sees the light of the day but due to some logistics problems, he can't commission it. The Lagos Blue Light Rail was funded by the World Bank with little input from the state coffers according to our reports.

Going by the analysis on the work done so far, the project was contracted to CCECC Nigeria Limited. The project according to LAMTA is said to start from Mile 2 and run across Okokomaiko, Orile, National Theatre, Iganmu, and then have a final stopover at CMS.



As at March 2018 when AutoReportNG did an exclusive review of the Light Rail from Iganmu to CMS, we reported that the pace of work has been very slow with little or nothing on ground as the workers complained of not been paid and some of the workers laid off. AutoReportNG was at CMS over the weekend and we decided to take a troll towards the site of this project as we can clearly say only little has changed.

The only thing that we can say is different is the laying of the overhead slabs which starts from CMS bus stop towards Apogbon, apart from that, no work or tangible construction as even the pillars that are meant to pass through the lagoon from Eko Bridge, we are disappointed to see that from March 20818 only 3-4 pillars have been erected so far across the sea which leaves one to wonder if this project is nearly completed as wildly reported.

We are unable to get the full pictures and those from the Eko Bridge as we are running out of time but these are ones we are able to gather at the site and also we add some from our previous report as well to make it look robust.

This has happened to most guys. It's the truth. That's why it's advisable to never ask a lady for friendship first if you wish to have a romantic relationship later on. Just tell her from the onset so she knows where you're driving at. Not forming one nice and caring friend shit.

SolutionMee:
This move is not bad

People may misunderstood her mums punishment as wickedness but believe me, it's discipline

Even the Bible obliged us to suffer not a witch to live

From the child's look alone, she resembles a boy

She must definitely be a witch

That woman is really a good mother and I will advise ladies to learn a lot from her

The only area where she failed is that she didn't fully obey Christ's commandment by still giving the child a chance to live

Children like that don't have a future

Most of them died immediately after graduating from college

After causing severe increase in momentum of family's poverty rate and financial downfall

The wisest decision is to completely kill the child
