I still don't understand why the Govt cannot stop these illegalities...all you need is a drone with thermal sensor...the heat generated from these illegal refineries will point all of them out...then you go into the forest and bring down the forests for roads that can make patrols easier moving forward. Every inch of this country should be easily accessible...that is how you reduce illegalities

Wrong...since most of you didnt know...Ukraine is not innocent here. They allowed US to train within their country next to Russia. Till today, there is an embargo on a country for allowing or contemplating Russia missiles close to US territory. Ukraine was also trying to join NATO which means Ukraine can attack Russia and all NATO members would join in. Russia see Ukraine as US proxy and by the way US has funded the war, it is clear Russia is fighting for its survival not the other way around....this is why Russia interest aligns with the Palestinian people...most of you don't follow the news or study anything. Russia was Soviet Union...the same Western Nation destroyed that due to the threat they felt it posed to them...Putin lived through Soviet Union collapse...he knows if he dies today, Russia might collapse. Read Putin's autobiography

Emeskhalifa:
If you are on the side of Ukraine, then you should be on the side of Palestine, Biafra and every other group who are fighting for their independence.

Family affair...Gov is Labour Party. Labour Party's office is inside NLC's Headquarters. They have even declared that NLC owes Labour Party so this is all a family affair. 7 months salary lol..

This is why I believe all Govs must finish all the projects they start...it should be the LAW. On the flip side, Gov Adeleke is now commissioning projects that the former Gov started and the former Gov's name wont be on the plaque lol.

Best Strategy in my opinion -

Year 1 - First 3 months _ pick our team, Next 6 months - vision and come up with the plan including funding and all, next 3 months implementation
Year 2 and Year 3 - Projects done
Year 4 - campaigning and seeing that you meet small small needs of the people. Projects should not go into Year 4....everybody will be too busy to do it well, and it will look like a campaign stunt. Small delay, and the whole project in Year 4 becomes an abandoned project.

The story of Grace to Grass is typical of a lot of people...look for someone aged that is not doing well and ask for his or her story. This is my conclusion about life..

Money is a spirit...Treat it and respect it and more will come.

Everyone will get one break at least...some will get many breaks...don't abuse the opportunity

Life is a cycle...Even Joseph and Egypt was not spared from famine. When you are doing ok, prepare for the time things will swing.

Every 10yrs, everyone gets a break, an opportunity, a cycle or setback...or even more setback...because a major event always happen at least once in 10yrs.

This might be another break for him and I pray he manages it well.

Rapmoney:
How many of you still remember SkyB? He was very popular back in the days. He did songs like 'My Baby' and 'Pray For Me' which became hits and were vibed to by Nigerians both young and old then. There was no party you would attend then, without SkyB's songs not played.

Today, life is no more rosy for the 'My Baby' crooner. He has moved from something to nothing as the Port-Harcourt born artist now lives in abject poverty.

Popular vlogger, Lucky Udu was with him recently as he shared his story of grace to grass.

You won money from your savings...I will believe that when you can make a bridge from North to South Nigeria...lol

rexbuton:
Please this topic wants to tear the family apart.

We are doing well, each of us earns almost 85k per year, I'm in IT, she's in healthcare, and we both work full-time.
I am a Christian, I have never defaulted in tithing in the last 5 years. Not once.
She says tithing is my personal 'problem'. She uses the word problem specifically. She doesn't pay tithe.

This is the present sharing agreement, I bring 70%, she brings 30%.
This 70-30 covers the cost of living, groceries, nursery fees for our baby, and other bills.
before this sharing, we both bring equal amounts for the house mortgage and the car.
When her family needs money, she insists that we share it 50-50 based on her culture.

For my cybersecurity certifications, I pay from my less than 20%, but I have never complained. God has been faithful. My belief is that my tithe covers for the family.
The good news is that I won a large sum of money from my savings, tens of thousands of dollars. I intend to pay tithe, and channel most of the money to my professional development so I can earn more. I don't think I deserve that money I won, that money was from God.
She thinks otherwise.

What's your opinion?

Is this Israel or stolen Palestinian territory? Its like saying White Country of South Africa Hmmm

When I was growing up, we had very competitive local young clubs that used to play at secondary school fields like Loyola, Ikolaba, Lagelu and so on...I've always wondered what happened to all these clubs. Our youths had something to do after school...some went to lessons, some went for training or competition...while I think the Govt shouldn't be heavily involved in sports (another avenue to siphon funds), they should encourage top people in the society to take ownership of these young clubs if they still exist so we can raise a new generation of athletes that won't need to come from Europe or the America's.

Not true...unfortunately we have trust deficits and deniers so while we don't want to make things public...and allow perception to cloud people's judgment...it's best to go public than work harder to neutralize negative assumptions
..everyone to its own. I run an NGO...some like to be anonymous but others don't mind their names on plaques...transparency is the key

papyjaypaul:
I may be old but any gift that is public is no longer a gift, it is a receipt. Due date na the recipient never know

I am a guy...and I agree that while couples should have some sort of separate investments. There is wisdom in joint ownership, but even if your name is on the paper...if the family feels you had a hand in his demise, it would still be hard to claim such property in Nigeria. So couples can contribute 25% each on joint investment, 25% separate investment, 20% savings and 30% joint bill payments. If you don't have any joint investments at all, both parties wont know about the other's investments at all...which is just as bad and will be inherited by other family members.

JB0707:
My husband and I both live in the uk and we join all our money and investments together, all the properties my husband acquired in Nigeria doesn’t have my name on it, at first I wasn’t bothered but now i am bothered because his family is chaotic. I started asking for my name to be included and i am not ok with the response am getting. I feel i am just working and I have nothing in my name. I love him but I don’t trust his family. Should i keep insisting or start my investment separately. I am just confused

No be the area Gov Makinde dey live at? Interesting ....at least we thank him. He should focus on other inner roads and state roads as well.

spagettiluv:
Ongoing Project: Reconstruction of the 5.48 km General Gas Junction-Kolapo Ishola GRA-Iyana Church with a spur to Dizengoff Junction Road, Iyana Church, part of Lot 1 of 10 roads to be reconstructed in Ibadan.

Very commendable but base soil should have been rocks and sharp sand. The clay soil might shift and crack the asphalt. It will depend on maintenance culture though. If they can keep fixing the small cracks, it will last at least 5 - 10 yrs, but if they don't, it might not last that long if heavy duty trucks drive on it.

Lol I have not heard an adult say someone is sounding like a kid. I keep forgetting NairaLand has people with low Intelligent Quotient. I won't drag issues with you. When a man or woman needs to insult to get a point across without debating objectively, it shows the inferiority complex. Online does allow idiots to form sensible humans. Some of those that insult online cannot even pick the crumbs of those they insult not to talk of share food with them. Learn to argue with maturity. You English typing on here is not worthy of a HS Graduate not to talk of a college grad. Have a blessed day.

Winnin009:
You’re just sounding like a kid. Obi should do what exactly?!

Yes he said we should move from consumption to production.

You’re sounding like that means one should go about setting up industries to employ people. You speaking of Obi importing and all that BS

The ports are on ground but the policies are stifling. Is it Obi that will put policies on ground too since he already knows how to import?

Switching us from the consumers we are in to even bigger consumers is exactly why companies are pulling out and it’s all in our economic policies.

I mean; look at electricity. Handling things like electricity is the first step to move from consumers to producers instead; the government increases the tariff and put no new infrastructure to justify the increase. Obi has repeatedly said that but you just choose to listen selectively.

By the way, what I am saying Peter Obi can do is what I am already making plans to do...lease a land, get our local plumber to run a series of sprinkler system by running pipes underground from an overhead tank before planting...then release to the community so they can maintain and harvest as they see fit. I do not believe in talking about something, one must actually do it and lead by example. Peter Obi knows how to import...I have no clue how he can turn the country to a producing nation that will be exporting. Followers just follow blindly like Fela said...Mister Follow Follow

cucumbar:
agbadorian. Peter obi can do this and that. Is Peter obi your president?
Mad man.

I feel so sad that this is your level of intellect. I did not say that Peter Obi is the President. He has donated upward of close to N100million if not more...my point is...that was not very productive, and he preached from consumption to production...giving money only helps with more consumption. I know its hard to understand the logic of my reasoning. A man that tell you that he can build you a mansion must be able to show you at least that he can build a hut.

cucumbar:
agbadorian. Peter obi can do this and that. Is Peter obi your president?
Mad man.

I have spent years listening to Peter Obi...One thing I notice...he says a lot without offering comprehensive solutions to anything. From consumption to production is an example...produce what? with what? By who?

The fact is Nigeria's issues are complex. If you don't float, we will run out of money and go bankrupt. Increasing the Naira-Dollar means foreign countries will make less from the Naira they make, and if they pay employees in dollars, they will spend more Naira, which explains why some left.

If you want us to produce agriculture massively, we need forex to buy equipment as a Government. The solution I see ...should not be domiciled in the Govt. Peter Obi can start an NGO to expand the irrigation system, rent agricultural tools to farmers, build storage centers, and show how scaling these things can create jobs and feed the nation. He prefers, however, to donate money. He said we need economic policies...which policies?

But i got a question, how can a private university lodge be looking like an unpainted a face me, i face you cottage? Una no get shame?

Just a practice round for new recruit into IPOB/ESN ... makes you wonder how these got into the school and how they made it this far.

NairaOcean:
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), formerly known as Anambra State University, has been plunged into chaos since Saturday as rival cult factions clashed violently on campus grounds. The clash has resulted in the loss of at least one life and left several individuals wounded.

Video footage has surfaced depicting the alarming reality of the violent clashes that erupted between rival cult factions at the university. The footage, captured by bystanders amid the chaos, offers a stark glimpse into the intensity of the confrontation as armed cultists exchange gunfire on campus grounds.

The harrowing scenes depicted in the footage show individuals brandishing firearms, firing indiscriminately at each other amidst panicked screams and frantic attempts to seek cover. Students and individuals can be seen fleeing in terror as the sounds of gunfire echo across the university premises, shattering the tranquility of the academic environment.

First, there are no drainages...
Two, they can easily maintain this by drilling and adding concrete. If this was asphalt, it would be worse.
Third, in Nigeria, we don't have load limit roads. Some of these roads are not meant for heavy duty trucks...he get why. You will need a certain level of depth and different types of reinforcement. That is why certain trucks are banned on certain roads in the West.
Four, maintenance culture...you still have to maintain these roads by inspecting them all the time...something we are not great at. Yes concrete can fail and do fail, but Asphalt is worse than concrete...harder to maintain, you have to remove everything and Bitumen is imported for now. Still they could have coated the top with asphalt, then maintain the asphalt.

Anyways, I would not condemn all of these...I will be curious about the base soils used and the reinforced rods. That would be your issue here..shifting base.

FatherOfJesus:
A lot of his concrete roads are failing.

David Umahi act as if he knows too much. This same man constructed concrete runway in Abakaliki airport that is not safe for planes to take-off or land on because of poor grip hence commercial airlines avoided the airport (aside that the airport has no economic value). He wasted 40billion.

While I know that concrete roads are good if they are properly constructed, like the one in gbagada, but Umahi will be forming engineer while he cannot deliver quality roads in his state.


I don't trust the quality of the concrete road that Will be delivered on the coastal road project. Umahi likes substandard and shiny things like China and Hitech construction company is not reputable enough to handle such magnitude of project. The only construction company I can trust to deliver is julius berger.

How many half plot you get for Lekki?
Naija my people....just let people celebrate their wins. His Grass to Grace is nothing short of Amazing Grace

Emmanuel909090:
Wait, this half plot dot is what you call a mansion?

Anyways I can only see 1 door and 1 window with a fence.

You cannot tackle all those without investing in infrastructures that raise the values of land and bring in investments that will give jobs to Nigerians. Disney World alone is the highest employer of labor in Florida. While I understand the sentiment around Landmark, it is not Disney, and we can produce many Landmarks with this Coastal Road.

My guess...Tinubu Govt hired consultants who told them what needed to be done ASAP to transform the country, and this must have been one of them. The pace they are going with this road is unprecedented. I know they also plan to move stuff from the PH refinery along this road, and with the rail, they can transport Petroleum products.

It is also a great alternative, so they can divert traffic to the new road to repair the old ones. One of our problems in Nigeria is trying to repair roads still in use. We need alternate routes if we plan to be like the West.

yawehoverall:
Looks fine though, but here in NIGERIA we need to tackle poverty , insecurities and hunger.

This is clearly a misplaced priority.

Keep us posted and email me if you want this to get on a National Newspaper...Police will act when they go viral...but the reporter will want to know if police took steps and if he is being charged. If yes, he might tell you to wait to see if you get justice before publishing the story. Either way, connect with me

Beeb1e:
Hello everyone, I got a call from a man in the Village (Elele, Rivers State) on Tuesday night, that we should look for a way to come and carry our mother as she has slumped and was rushed to a hospital, where she was in coma.

He explained to me that my mother went to demand for the payment of the debt the man is owing her and he angrily beat her up, he stripped her , tore her clothes, her underwear was torn too. I’m literally crying as I type this. Everyone that tried to stop him he chased with the machete. Now my dad is late , else he won’t have tried this.

I am in Lagos so I’ve not seen her my sister that was able to travel to Elele to see her sent me the pictures.

She is out of coma now, but still unable to sit or stand or talk. We also noticed she is bleeding from her private part.

We arrested the evil man with the Elele police but the community Igwe bailed him, he is a known person in the community and owns a hotel there.

I really want this man to receive this level of Physical pain or more, because my mum almost lost her life.

I don’t know what to do or how to go about getting justice for her.

We are at military hospital port harcourt now.

NairaOcean:
Shade Okoya, the wife of Nigerian billionaire Rasaq Okoya, pleasantly surprised a young boy with a kind gesture. It happened during a public event where Shade Okoya was vibing to a Yoruba song.

While the boy stood nearby, seemingly unaware of the unfolding scene in his smart attire, Shade Okoya reached into her purse and withdrew a bundle of N1000 notes. She approached the boy and presented him with the bundle of naira notes.

Caught off guard, the boy's initial astonishment quickly transformed into a broad grin as he graciously accepted the unforeseen gift.
