Then tell me what convinces you that the building is actually worth the cost?
Who is talking about hotels in South Africa, the Scotland yard is there for you to look at. At least the finishes and the gadgets/equipment in it were not made available to us.

The Yard - also known as the Met, short for Metropolitan Police Service - is trying to slash US$800 million from its budget over the next 2-1/2 years.

That has meant looking at selling the family silver, or in this case, some of the force's large property holdings - stations, operation centres and the like.

The current headquarters, which the Yard has occupied since 1967, costs nearly US$18 million a year to maintain and is in need of a US$80 million upgrade, making it an "expensive luxury," Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey said. He acknowledged the iconic value of the site, but said policing came first.

Why do you think Nigeria is a Third World shitthole. ?

You are not governed by your best. why?

Because your average collective IQ is 70.

With my level of intellect, I should be somewhere very high up in government creating and enforcing policies to give you a better future.

Dayg88:
...............

so gave your opinion which I can't question, but you're not even giving me a valid reason why the building will cost that much. Like different people posted on the thread which I did confirm some, there are a few buildings which are similar to this said one and the cost is not even close to the cost of this. Now an argument can even be made for it that they were not constructed in the same time period. Don't justify something that is not even realistic. If you truly are in the construction sector and you believe the cost of this building is true, then there must be a problem. If you tell me the basis of my analysis are unfounded, i will not argue with you. Try and get more information like you said and then out me to work so I will prove you wrong.

Buhari is my president. He was voted to enter those places on my behalf.
Unlike dencia, I am a 1000 times smarter and educated than buhari , but politics especially in Nigeria is not a question of the smartest.

Obviously, there is no difference between you and dencia.

sunbilor: :
Is Chimamanda in the same league with Hilary Clinton?

You would be surprised to know chimamanda actually shapes opinions in America.
You can ask Beyonce herself.

The gap between Clinton and chimamanda is not so steep compared to the gap between chimamanda and dencia.
And Clinton is an American, a former first lady .

Chimamanda does not even own a US passport which she could get easily, and has no intention of getting one at least according to her.

If she was an American born and brought up, Michelle Obama would have nothing on her.

CSTR1003:

dominique: :


I'm also a firm believer of equality and mutual respect in marriages but I will never subscribe to this Chimamanda's brand of feminism



Hardly, not healthy at all sad

Her feminism is too radical for Africa.

Her ideologies are for far advanced democracies with better civilised and exposed humans. Her target audience are not Nigerians anyway.

I don't expect her to go and preach feminism in Saudi Arabia .

Sarang:
says who?
what has marriage got to do with feminity?
feminism is equality.. it means don't treat your sisters, mothers, wives or any woman at all like trash.. it means respect. This is what true feminism stands for,
Justice not marriage and yes equal responsibilities.. you guys be thinking like backward people sef.. Shockingly it's mostly guys that hate feminism? Why? because you need a maid in your house and not a partner right? Trash! Chimanda is a well versed and educated writer..and who is Dencia? A social media influencer? .. Pot calling kettle black..or in this case pot calling snow black

don't quote me please just go and see my signature and support my cause

dominique:
Chimanda

A staunch feminist that has been married for over 3 years and has a child, One of two things is involved

1. The whole feminist stance is a farce, she's not practising what she's preaching when it comes to her marriage

2. Her husband is a docile lapdog

I go with 1

Dayg88:
No offense taken, but I gave my opinion which I can back up by elemental cost of the building. Even if drawings and specifications are provided, I'll still convince you that it was an inflated project. Its just my opinion, you can prove me wrong

Ahmed0336:

dvee2: :
Most of the Lazy Nigerian youths commenting here have not research when the project was initiated, if it was inflated could it be by their hero since the project predates current government,they are just posting pay per post.

You've spoken well sir, there is this certain project I was on in 2009 the total contract sum stood at 5.4bil then and project duration was 4 years as I am typing this that project have not been completed and FG have spent more than 10 bil on this same project. Many factors came into play that led to cost overrun. Some people don't know what construction is and will be saying things they have no idea on just for likes on NL. SMH

Ahmed0336:

kimjongJezebel: :



Mr ITK, you know weti I dey do for a living?


If they actually spent N24 billion on this building then, you and Ibrahim Magu should be jailed

Madam I am into construction and you cannot tell me what I know. Except you have that drawing design, and you know the components please I beg you with name of God just don't sit at the comfort of your room to spit what you have no idea on.

olajide21:

Dayg88: :



Please, i disagree with you. I am a Quantity Surveyor and I can attest to it that no structural or Electrical standard employed can make the base cost of this building exceed 12billion naira. Even if the contractor is Julius Berger. Its all inflated.

I am.sure you have no idea of the preliminary works that was done before the site was habited. While i am.not justifying the high cost, you should also be aware that project conditions varies.

DannyMarvey:
I do not blame Buhari for saying Nigerian youths are lazy. He would have even said they are senseless too because Nairaland is a clear example of where you really see how jobless and senseless Nigerian youths are. Commenting and analyzing what doesnt make sense is a big shame.

May God help Nigeria.

Are Nigerians really stupid people
The cost may have been inflated
But people should ask questions before making conclusion

What is content of the building
Some smaller building in USA and Europe cost more
The question is , why are the gadget inside the building ?

Oga....ur saying that whatever gadgets or equipment in the building wud be worth more than 5 billion?
in any case no where has it been said that there are sophisticated gadgets / equipment in there.

KidsNEXTdoor: Did you say PMB?
What has he got to do with this

Arming and aiding terrorists to attack farmers in their

These are facts.

Note the year and be cured from your hate filled ignorance.

1) Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), re-introduced the ban of rice import through its land borders in 2016, as an effort to boost local rice production in Nigeria.

2)The Federal Government mandated the CBN to release N40 billion for the “Anchor Borrowers Programme” (ABP) for Rice farmers. The program was designed to assist Small Scale farmers to increase the production and supply of feedstock to agro-processors.

3) The Anchor Borrowers Programme was launched in November 2016, said to have been pushed by 14 states of Kebbi, Sokoto, Niger, Kaduna, Katsina, Jigawa, Kano, Zamfara, Admawa, Plateau, Lagos, Ogun, Cross-Rivers and Ebonyi for rice and wheat farmers to advance their status from small holder farmers to commercial or large growers.

emiwanlee: :
I cant but that nonsense for 10K but those are fallout of jonas policies on agriculture and not buhari. Buhari is not doing well in agriculture, quote me, i have facts.

Where is a picture of a made in Nigeria rice during your Jona time? Anything good always start from jona, but if its bad, it's Buhari, you people always think all of us are fools like you.

givan:
I wonder on what ground the judge has said this?! Is he in any doubt that the accused may be conniving with the accuser (federal authority)
to present fake health bill?

According to the judge, “I am wondering, if the defendant is really sick as he claims, why did he not appeal the two earlier decisions of the court that refused to release his international passport.

“I doubt that he is really ill as he wants the court to believe, if he is, he should have appealed the decisions of the court at the Court of Appeal.”

The judge wondered why Metuh appealed decisions of the trial court that had nothing to do with his health but refused to appeal those that dealt directly with his health.

Abang held that it seemed there was a hidden agenda by Metuh to present the court as inhuman by filing the same application before the trial court a third time rather than going on appeal.

When the unintelligent fail to pass across a point they result to spell checking to feel intelligent.

Your dumber than I thought. Check the spellings on this one and get back to me.

xcolanto:
Trash! Keep wallowing in self decite that your incompetent pay masters are not part of the soot problem in rivers state. You cannot know more than the rivers people. Your ignorance is astonishing.

xcolanto:
And you are happy to take the navy's word for it because it fits your pay masters? Your willing to believe the military that are known for lies and decite just because they say so as against eye witnesses to the opposite?

hush15:
Tell me what i dont know then.
Yes, the present order was done under GEJ but the rule of law was allowed to to take its course. Also, the elections under GEJ if you analyze it honestly and pragmatically, is the reason why the need to review the time table. Now as we have it, we know the rule of law never existed and most national institution are being compromised to please the persons that appoints them but the legislature is within its prerogative to amend any existing laws within the land and it doesnt matter whether it is autonomous or not.
Its not sentiments, its reasoning and within the rights to do so. How do you improve systems without working on the policies and laws that guide them.

You keep saying on the basis of law but law didnt just form from nowhere, people sat down to make these laws and these laws are subeject to reviews and it is still people that will review and improve these laws. Laws dont just evolve!

This "story" was released in January but there are still eye witness cases of the opposite being the case.

We all know how the military says one thing and does another so I won't take their word for it totally.

EazyMoh:

CSTR1003: :
Well, it is not without precedence.

Buhari's northern people also said Jonathan was using bokoharam to reduce their votes.

No governor ever said Jonathan was using BH to reduce northern votes. There should be a difference between what an official like a state governor says and what a common tout says.

obailala:
Nigeria has never really had a government, both at the state and federal levels. Wike asking the FG to come and do something, what exactly is the responsibility of the state government?... What exactly is the job role of the commissioner for environment in the state?

xcolanto:
Wike is right! The FG through the military bodies as the army, navi and nsdc are burning illegal refineries and boats that carry crude oil. This causes air pollution in Rivers state as well as the oil spilage into the sea that affects the livelihood of those living in such communities.

The buhari led Federal government is indeed a culprit to reducing the lives of rivers people as they gave the military bodies such orders. There are videos on YouTube that show the military shooting at boats and burning illegal refineries.

Burning these refineries causes the black smoke to go into the air creating the sooth then shooting at boats from choppers cause the oil to spill into the water ways as well as black smoke in the air from the explosion and destruction.

The rivers state government must hereby through it's state assembly make destroying of illegal bunkery an offence and that off the boats as well.

The federal government should convert the illegal refineries to Modula refineries and the boats sized then the crude be handed over to nnpc.

Come to think of it this way, if Omoge knew that the bill will be withdrawn today why will he cause commotion? What will be his gain? I am suspecting election re-ordering camp planned this drama

hush15:
Well, what we should be more worried about is what is to gain to go through suchto scuttle the passage of that bill. It reveals the present order has been owned y some entity and its benefits more for them than the general good and re ordering it poae a threat to their ambitions.

I believe the elections should be re ordered so it becomes a fair playing field for all. This present order has been compromised

Bolustical:
The question is, what do the people whom they represent wants to gain in the Reordering Bill? Just selfish ambitions.

The full Petroleum Industry Bill is still there, they can't find anything to do to it yet.

Funny enough, many youths supported this move just because of the hate for the President.
