Lo what is the maintenance policy in the US when it comes to road as opposed to Nigeria? Do you know that US has weigh stations and limits on vehicles that ply certain roads. Do we have such regulations and rules? Anyways, I will not join debate with you all. Drainage was not the only thing mentioned, but hey, you can latch into what makes you feel good. I love Nigeria, and I am doing my part. Hope you are doing yours and not just mouthing on social media.

Lithiumite:
I really hope the attached pics answers your gibberish about drainages on rural outback roads with such terrain...... terrorism happened in Abuja in one off incidences and not territorial take overs like blowing roads and carving out territories.

I really marvel at you guys ability to conjure all manner of irreverent empty rhetoric to condemn your country at every turn which leaves you in a constant state of dystopia.....get a life dude!!

lol...coming from you... it's a compliment

aribisala0:
Dubai?
Sorry but you are quite stupid

Some were trying to explain why it is not necessary...until a trailer falls on its side, and they have to drive along untied roads adjacent to the main roads in gridlocks. We are used to suffering so I am not surprised some people feel it is not necessary lol

Bluntemperor:
A good observations.
Let the various governments - take necessary steps in the critical Areas of -Observations.e.g drainage is important in all roads construction 🚧.
- Maintenance of Roads are Critical- year in and out- to enable the Roads to last longer.
- All Roads MUST have Alternative Exit - to enable adjacent movement.

If you are not following the news, do not blame me. A word is enough for the wise...I do not need to spell things out. Smart people know what I was referring to. You can go to bed now.

blamingthedevil:
Which Lagos - Ibadan ( or you mean Lagos - Ibadan Expressway) is congested? When did you drive on the road ?

So Abuja did not experience terrorism in the past. Interestingly yall will wonder why there is flooding ...if you can excuse proper planning and drainage, it shows why we are where we are. You dont create drainage due to population density. Drainage helps to elongate the lifetime of projects like road. Drainage helps to divert and prevent erosion. It also helps with development, because drainage would not be necessary and people would not build across drainage plains (except stupid Naija people).

Go and learn from Dubai and other well developed countries. In 5 yrs, we will be back to doing the needful or return to do repairs. What is what doing is worth doing well.

Lithiumite:
Drainages on a flat open terrain with no population density on the stretch......it's a rural road which connects several rural areas and projected traffic isn't expected to be high at least for now......why build alternative route same time you are building perhaps the first road in that axis which will all know shouldn't exceed 20-30% capacity......about terrorism,the terrain is flat and too close to the seat of power for such an operation to be successful,this isn't borno that is too far flung with so much ungoverned spaces.

See you justifying thiefing make I type you back in your own English . No one forced anyone to work where they are not being compensated well. That is the revolving cycle...you collect low pay, you normalize it. If everyone rejects low pay, employers will increase pay. If you say, well they do not have a choice...well everyone does. You can work for yourself. If you cannot figure it out, then accept the reality for few years, and stay on your own but destroying another man's investment is pure wickedness.

It is people like you that will justify tenants destroying house anyhow because landlord did not do this or that. Let us call a spade a spade. Thief is Thief.

badaru911:
I'm not saying what the staff did is good but first ask the farm owner, how much is he paying the staff, how many workers are managing the ponds..( likely to be a staff)., How many ponds is the staff managing.?.. Fish farming is work is very hard. And I've seen how those pond owners threat there workers... Very bad...

People that cry like her have regrets. Probably left a well paying job in Nigeria to japa only to see herself doing work she would not even appreciate others for in the past. If you are already struggling and have to struggle more, you wont have such regrets. That is why we tell those doing well...look before you leap, cos japa will test your mental health. Things you do not know about will start becoming a thing.

- Mental Health
- Lack of Sleep
- Hallucinations
- Migraines and Headaches

Most of these i had no clue about them in Nigeria

Ukraine President is an idiot. When the war is over, how would the country ever recover? He agreed to fire into Russia. Russia would not mind to use all its arsenal on this war...it has no beef with other major countries unlike US that is always looking for trouble and needs to keep an array of weapons at disposal. Russia can launch Biological, Chemical or Nuclear...but this idiot of a Ukraine President is following orders from US/Europe. When it is all clear and done, do not be surprised if he is assassinated or given a poison.

You may call Russia a bully, good for you...what has US been doing to Cuba, Haiti? What has China been doing to Taiwan, HongKong? Only an idiot would allow Ukraine to train with adversary next to its border. US is still punishing Cuba for contemplating allowing Russia warheads close to US...but US wants us to believe it is because of their phantom communist government while also buying products from communist China

Targeted assassination --- look into his past cases or current ones. All promising lawyers need bulletproof vehicles and personal firearms. In the US, some professions are given licenses to carry firearms...lawyers and judges are definitely on that list.

and where is that Senator from FCT that is always traveling to London lol? She will be voted out of office soon. On another note, they probably left the road so people can ride on the soil to compact it. For 9yrs though, no excuses...but it is clear Min. Wike works with those in the local communities to deliver dividends of democracy, and that is how he builds his structure ladies and gentlemen.

When election comes, and he says this person will win Abuja or not, don't scream it is undemocratic. He who pours water on the ground will walk on wet soil. Live and Learn.

Virgin lands are the best lands to do proper planning. You can create great main roads and auxiliary routes, then charge those interested in the lands a premium amount. You build all to specifications and make them well connected. This is one of the reasons why we are not productive. How can people be in traffic for hours day in day out? If we can connect easily, and create alternate routes, we can keep moving.

Do well connected roads, put solar and encourage solar commercial on buildings...and people can work 24 hours a day.

techbro1:
I feel you but I think you should also understand that it appears to be a virgin land. There won’t be a need for an alternative if the main road doesn’t exist.

This new road will bring about development and just like you said, it should be mapped out already so that it’s all done according to plan and there’s orderliness.

The road is a good step. We can only hope there’s a solid plan for the area and in the case where there’s none, we hope they create one that works with the current plan.

The road needs drainage and other auxiliary routes. That's too long of a stretch without adjacent roads. If criminals block the main highway, o ti lo. If there are issues that need repairs, what will be the alternate option or options...maybe they want to sell the lands there so estates can develop along the main road and create auxiliary routes. We need to do better planning.

Lagos-Ibadan has been congested, and there are no alternate roads even for short maintenance work. We need to do better and introduce tolls. Let private companies build faster routes and toll them, allowing others to use the longer free routes. Pick your choice.

Until I see the result of all this one year from now, I remain skeptical of all these trainings. I have come to realize workers do them for extra pay not to gain and apply knowledge.

If I was a betting man, he may not get extradited if Trump is sworn in as President. Now, if we are truly serious, we need to send our top intelligence and defense men to Finland right away. On arrival, we need with those at the Embassy, and seek high level collaboration, then put the President on the phone with the Finnish President so this is given the high priority it deserves. If at the end of it all, Finland does not extradite, sanction and close its Nigeria Embassy and seize all communication...including closing Nigeria Embassy in Finland. US and most countries would not tolerate this nonsense.

and what we can do as Nigerians is to look for ways to raise funds for them and reward them. To change the country, we need to support people that do the right thing so others can follow in their footsteps.

A lot of people tend to be surprised by this. I am not. MY TAKE

To win wars, you need certain things -

1. Proximity - The defeat of USSR, UK and so on is simply because they expanded beyond reason, and could not negate attacks due to proximity to home base. This is the main reason why countries won independence. Not because Africans with their crude tools could defeat the superior power of the British/French. The occupiers could not keep up. The reason why Israel is able to sustain continued attacks on the Palestinian is due to proximity. This is also the reason why UKRAINE would fail because the supporting countries are not close, and Russia can also reload and attack at will.

2. Numbers - While small armies have been successful in defeating larger ones, there is still a certain number of ratio needed to defeat oppositions. US-Afghanistan, US-Iraq are case studies. When US had the surge, the US was able to move into Taliban territories and gain more grounds, but they could not sustain the numbers. Russia has brought in North Korean and other foreign mercenaries. While Ukraine is also getting human support from the West and Europe, they are and will be unwilling to send in large forces. US has been suffering from recruitment in recent years, and with eyes fixated on China, they cannot afford to deploy a lot of assets to the Red Sea. Yemen has home advantage and I doubt Saudi Arabia would want to get involved giving their past issues with Yemen.

3. Technology - Every technology has limitations. You cannot use a $2 million missile to bring down a $5000 drone. Even if you do that, over time, it wont make sense. What US just discovered is the limitation of expensive technology. Even Israel with Iron Dome could not stop the sheer number of cruise missiles from Iran. Armor tanks were blown up with cheaper IEDs in Afghanistan...US had to spent more to fortify. Then they targeted the Fuel Tanks and so on...technology has limitations.

4. Money - Countries will continue to assess and reassess war spending, and what they are willing to commit to it and what they hope to gain may affect the outcome of these wars. While US-Israel have increased war spending, other countries are spending less to build more arsenals because they engage in less confrontations. Over time, the people may not subscribe to continued war spending. This is one of the reasons US had to pull out of Afghanistan. It was just too costly. Most people are already talking about the cost of maintaining US bases around the world. Soon, US will be forced to limit spending and focus on human capital development before the people revolt. One of the reasons Harris lost, more war spending is not popular anymore. Trump is trying to normalize relationship between Israel and Middle Eastern countries because at the end, Israel would only survive if there is peace with its neighbors. US cannot keep up the defense of Israel as its people suffer from crushing expenses, national debt and inflation.

Why must we have a significant event to flag off and then to commission? Isn't all that additional waste of money that can be used to perform other things? I am just curious.

Best way to raise IGR...move the Gov House to an undeveloped area. Those lands next to it are probably now 100 times the cost. The main city will still attract high net and this new area as well. I cannot wait to see how Soludo will transform Anambra. He should reach out to Ooni of Ife...Ojaja. He is building masterpieces everywhere from Ondo, Osun to Lagos.

Bestmanfornow:
The Anambra State Government House, Lodge, and ancillary structures are approaching completion, signifying a major achievement for the state, which has lacked a befitting government house and lodge since its inception on 27th August 1991, thus positioning the current governor, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo , as a trailblazer whose legacy will endure for generation.

I wish her all the best, but it is for one year and another one will take her place...but the best modeling agencies in the world do not switch models every year. She will make her mark, but it won't be easy. I wish her all the very best, and I will be rooting for her.

Somebody is living in a Luxury apartment in New York for a year with access to all the top global brands, modeling agency and you are talking Nollywood.

By this Christmas, Chidinma Barbie doll suppose they shop all year round 2025.


That is a good place to start now too.

You mean Nollywood story. There are limits to modeling here. She wont be the first looking good female with slim stature. How well she performs will be based on her handlers. Like Nigeria, most models abroad also cater to high end clients...and ....well you can picture the rest lol. How often do they get modeling gigs that pay for their lifestyles?

legitnow1:
Her story is a desney fairy tale, do you knwo how much her cartoon will be worth.

That is just one.

It could be a real life Holywood story, more money.

She could write a book.


She can be a Black barbie dolll.

Modelling contract... the list is endless

In few years, she will join ARISE News as a Journalist like Ojy Okpe Lol

When I started visiting to see my parents, he started opening up to me that he wanted me to take over his legacies. Parents have a lot to say and they need that assurance that only physical presence can open up

Flakky26:
These days because of the economic factors, JAPA syndrome and many other factors. Physically meeting with parents has become challenging. pls lets know when you saw your parents last and if its been long , what are your reasons?

Some do give their parents benefiting burial spending millions but they were no where to be found when their presence is needed most?

Won't our parents cherish the Physical Presence more than the millions spent for the burial?

Some shops now have speakers...so when alert goes in, it makes a sound...and they also check their phones. Smart idea...no more showing alert to say you have paid ...you wait or they call bank to confirm...especially the older traders If na hundreds of thousands

I wont be surprised if some of these students still scammed their parents and collected tuition money. I wonder how the govt will ensure the colleges are not collecting for withdrawn students, admitted but not enrolled and so on. Lots may be going on underground.

I am probably the only person that was denied, and yet relieved. Lots of horror stories from everyone that I was already scared before the interview. When she said denied, I said thank you and was even relieved to be done with the whole mess. My Mom said...why don't you get a new passport and try the next day, I said no way. Lets go to Ibadan. I need to be out of here. By the way, I paid for my own visa doing house to house tutoring after delay getting into University from not meeting cut off, and a long UI strike at that time. I always tell everyone Chelsea Clinton is my girlfriend and I will go to the US. She is processing my visa. Their jaws dropped when my dream fantasy became real.

I dusted myself, prepared to start UI after a 9-month strike...went back to my Agbada 3 months later with the "I don't give a fu*k attitude whether you give me or not." Then I got it Lol..1st one, I went to Lagos, suit and tie very uncomfortable dressing with my Mom and 2nd time, I traveled alone...If you see how I held the passport-visa alone on my way back to Ibadan lol. I kept looking at it..like, wow, I got this visa. Then I remembered I had no way to pay for ticket. One day I will write a whole book...God help me. I am the stone the builder rejected. I am now the cornerstone.

Everyone was shocked...even my relatives in the US. How did you do it? I did not do it...God did it. I arrived US before discovering I even got 50% tuition scholarship lol.

Please do vigil everyday if you can. After all, did they keep job for you if you stop doing vigil.

And those saying Christianity is scam, why are several developed countries having many Christians. Shebi dey do Christmas in December, to celebrate who? Jesus Christ Birth.

Why America never drop Christianity if na scam? You wey probably feel say you get sense pass others, wetin you and your gods don produce? You wey probably no believe in religion at all, what value have you added to your community?

Please do your Christianity to your satisfaction, pleasing God. Nigeria's problem is bad government, not Christianity. Abi na Christianity increase fuel?

If you want churches to build industries, let government give the churches money to build. You should not expect people to steal the nation's money, while the church does what the government should do. The church can do their part, but they are not the government.
