I wouldn't be harsh on u cos u are one of  the few pple i admire on this site.

Bur sir, throwing nylon, paper garbages etc is one of the problems but just a very minute/small fraction of the problem. The larger bulk stops on the govts table.

This thread is to discuss the bad roads which is not the fault of the citizens of Lagos that the roads keeps getting destroyed few months after resurfacing. its got nothing to do with nylon, refuse etc. Tell government contractors to use the best materials in resurfacing the roads for it to stand the true test of time

No need to be harsh on me o!as i am not one of those you admire but i beg to differ.
the issue of our filth as lagosians is not a minute matter O!
i agree that govt has a part to play but passing the bulk is not particularly responsible.
i drove pass the orile-mile 2 road today.a road that is still under construction but has all the drainages in place.guess what?the drainages are filled with refuse.infact half of the road the entire stretch has been turned into a refuse dump.
it rains a little and the drains are filled as refuse is just bubbling all over.
in addition to all we want Fashola to do,do we also want him to station cleaners long the drainages for 24/7?

we have to be more discerning in what we believe.not every thing written in the media deserves a response.
Tinubu must be a very dumb fellow to spend millions of dollars buying an airline without due diligience.
the BAT i see is not dumb and if he was he can't be that dumb.
these folks have just added two and two and arrived at 37.
they deserved to be flogged.this story is not even worthy of a beer parlour talk less a pub.

Lastly, no matter how "talented" Ngozi is, if she fails to deal with fiscal policy, she will NEVER succeed on the job. She did during her last term, which is why I have more faith in her.

that is if GEJ and PDP and even the governors club let her.
dealing with fiscal policy in this climate is not a function of academic ability but more of political gamemanship.
the reason why i am uncomfortable with the hype around her is that her previous success in govt was more a case of OBJ providing the ncessary room and space than her ability as an economist.
will GEJ provide same?
can he even provide same?
the jury is out.

all these grammar being spoken here are irrelevant.
if the President has no intention and political will to be fisically responsible,even Nobel price winners in economics can do no wonders.the worst you can do is resign.
Okonjo-iweala will do no wonders as long as the gravy train called PDP hold GEJ by the jugular.

Yes i can marry someone of same genotype.
Will do a vasectomy or she ties her tubes before marriage and we will adopt.

i hear there is talk of him and cash for Schwinsterger.

debosky:
^^ Not forgetting the truckload of dross they need to offload somehow - Cole, Aquilani, Konchesky, Poulsen, etc.

if i were Cole i will resist every attempt to move.
can you imagine sitting that massive backside on the bench and watching matches for free and earning 100k every week?
football has gone bonkers!!

As unspectacular as O'Shea was i can't believe he is gone and dross like Macheda,Diouf,Obertan and Gibson are still around and have even gone to America on pre season.
Fergie continue culling these dross,pls.

The festival must have been an avenue for govt officials to embezzle funds in their usual maner.i am sure even the buying of medals must have also been a money making venture.
after making their millions, they should just manage to maintain the facilities they built.
at least it will be useful to the common man.

For once i am supporting the govt.
what exactly is the present govt expected to do?construct drainages in the sky?
the truth of the matter is that half of lagos ought notto be habited by houses and persons.there is a limit to which you can cheat nature.all these sandfillings and building houses everywhere are catching up with us.
even the existing drainages are not maintained by lagosians.fashola can not deploy workers to clean drainage 24/7.both the rich and poor in lagos are the dirtiest set of humans i have ever seen.throw away your refuse from your rolls royce and out of the keke marwa as if it is a sport for which you will receive a medal.
the roads are littered,the gutters are filled with filth and you expect not to be flooded in the rains?
there is little fashola can do short of demolishing half of the houses in lagos to build more drainages and carrying a cane to flog both rich and poor (big and small) as they litter the town.
Fashola will not deliver us from our filth.

I guess they are the ones supplying all those rich kids in Waterklof Ridge.

@OP,
thanks for the info.
you actions in this case have been praise worthy.When i started reading the thread i was worried you will be convinced to go to the Police,TV or even GTB.I am glad to hear that you did none of the above but destroyed the stuff.
This is Eastern Europe's gift to the crime world and while it is common in the western world,we know the way crime goes here.You will be surprised to find a branch where even managers will be in on the deal.That makes it harder to eliminate.
our banks need to step up the game especially when they have a policy of 'guilty until proven innocent' in the event of these sorts of crimes.

Ijaw leaders??
SMH

As much as i am disappointed with the silence of muslim leaders and even ordinary muslims who live exemplary lives in the face of this heinous acts,i am begining to wonder if there silence is born out of the fear of Boko Haram than a support for their acts.
These muslim leaders are no different from most Christian leaders who are in leadership for their personal gains and can not imagine sacrificing their lives for the faith they profess.

the names can't be released now for investigative reasons.
Nigerians seeking asylum??
this is crazy.

A MAKESHIFT drug lab in a double-storey mansion operated undetected for two years, churning out large amounts of a down-market drug in the heart of the Pretoria suburb of Waterkloof.
The tranquility of the leafy suburb, home to top politicians and ambassadors where houses are priced in millions of rands, was broken yesterday by heavily armed organised crime unit policeman who scaled the electric fence around the house to swoop on Tik (methamphetamine) manufacturers.

Police surprised two men in blue overalls hard at work allegedly producing the drug and confiscated their equipment and drug worth an estimated street value of over R500000.

By late afternoon, the operation had netted Tik worth an estimated street value of R2million after the duo led police to another house in the up-market and high-security Monument Park complex where more drugs and manufacturing equipment were allegedly found.

Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said police also found several sculptures believed to be used to conceal the drug when transported.

He said the Hawks unit has been keeping an eye on the Waterkloof drug lab for the past month following a tip-off.

"We have arrested two Nigerians with asylum permits believed to be part of a drug syndicate. One of them took us to the high-security complex where the two stayed and we found more chemicals, manufacturing equipment and drugs," Dlamini said.

According to Dlamini, the suspects had been renting the Waterkloof mansion for about two years. But he would not reveal who owned the property because this formed part of their investigation. The house, which looked as though it had not been cleaned in two years, contained no furniture except for a rickety old supermarket fridge.

The walls and the ceiling in the lounge were stained with smoke from the fumes of burning chemicals. The gate was covered with a grey nylon cloth to keep out prying eyes. The yard was littered with heaps of dry leaves and tree branches floated in the algae-infested swimming pool.

"The chemicals explode occasionally, resulting in the nasty splashes you see on the walls and ceiling," said one officer.

Police believe the chemicals used to manufacture the drug, including acetone and toluene, were measured, mixed in the kitchen and then poured into large glass test tubes and heated on the electric stove before being taken to the pantry for the filtering and drying process of the final product.

The fumes emanating from the cylindrical tubes are so powerful that a few minutes in the room is enough to cause coughing, muscle spasms and dizziness.

Armed police officers standing guard at the gate drew the attention of passers-by in luxury cars, who slowed down to have a look before driving off.

Dlamini said the suspects were charged with the manufacturing and possession of drugs. The spokesperson said the two were expected to appear in the Pretoria magistrate's court tomorrow.

The black BMW X5 and Corsa SUV bakkie found on the premises have been impounded.

Brooklyn Community Policing Forum acting chairperson Dannie Basson said people should start getting to know their neighbours.

emmatok:
My friend how many Professors do you have in Covenant compared to UI, OAU, UNN, e.t.c

These private varsities just collect money, they cannot match any of those First Generation Universities.

Gbam!!

^^^^^
funny enough they are one of the more effective govt parasatals.
I use them often and they work.

when did the strike start?
i posted something earlier this week.

^^^
does Mark not need a SA?
or that one is not a money making venture?
GEJ will probably make him junior minister in transport or education.

2sleek2NV:
Neva taken my time to listen to Beat FM cos i don't like Olisa. the guy is too proud. worked with him so i knw.

you may be right as i have heard a few others say it.
however,dude is good and has paid his dues.
back from the days of Clapperboard and 'Soul with Sprite',Olisa has been holding it down.His love for entertainment in general has never been in doubt.
I am not even a fan of most of the music he plays but i respect his ability as an OAP.folks like him,JAJ (with his disgusting accent) and Dan Foster opened the door for these new acts.

You want to pour sand sand in politician's garri?
It wll not work for you.
the status quo must be maintained.we don't want a president like you.
We want FRESH AIR.

johnie:


Surely you don't mean that!

Be careful what you wish for.

Retracted.
But sincerely, something close to that.
I am so pissed with this lot.

@OP,Are you new on this site?
there re over a dozen blogs on this man.
We have been there,done that and have a collective T-shirt.
Pls lets discuss something new.

Jonnie,
I am rather surprised at your naivety (with all due respect).
How can an intelligent man like you expect any thing different from these charlatans?
These man and women are in a different world.they do not care about you and i nor the poor masses.
Boko Haram can bomb the whole country for all they care.Even if one of them is caught up in the bombings, they will just carry on wth biz as usual.
They can only be bothered if their source of looting is threatened extensively or cut off while they are still alive.
Irrespective of their Party affilations,they are all the same.
You call this fresh air?
a govt that has two SA for special duties and one for ethics and values?

citee:
To arrange runs for visiting Heads of State!

sounds funny but i guess it is true.

grant them amnesty, monthly pay,scholarship to the best universities in Saudi Arabia and appoint a SA on Boko Haram affairs in addition to a Boko Haram Ministry.
Don't forget having regular tea with the Boko Haram leaders and posing for photo shoots with them.

he told us he could not reduce the size of the cabinet because of the constitution.
i guess he could also not reduce his SAs because of ------------

It seems they picked the people first then coined the job title.
each of these SA's will have his or her own PAs and SAs.
kai,this circus is not funny at all.
what is SA on technical matters?
what is SA on ethics and values?
do you still need an SA on ND when you have a minister and minsitry for that?
you have a chief of staff,deputy chief of staf and a prinicpal secretary and these folks all have their own aides.
special adviser on special duties?? is that a joke?
this democracy thing is too expensive and is not bearing any result o!
there will be a change but it will be external and forcefully induced.
any other expectation is a mirage.

Amaechi is no different from the rest.
I was complaining of Tonye Cole then he goes and replaces him with his thug.
what will this guy offer to the cabinet?
anyway he will be in a familiar circle.
Tonye should go and face his privae business and forget this deceptive govt.

enyojo:
Also, Senator Oluremi Tinubu got up to try to advise her colleagues to soft-pedal on the kind of questions they throw at Ngozi. But was hushhhed down by others. 'I still have the floor' she said and David mark allowed her to 'land'.
Then she said : unbehalf of the Nigerian women, ' Another shouts from senators.
Finally she said: ' I believe in Ngozi, and that she is capable of delivering most especially create jobs, '

What c rap was she spewing?
she should just keep quiet and be seen not heard.
I doubt she has anything to contribute in that Senate.

ReachRich:
^^^ i was just thinking d same thing.Or is GJ going to give Aganga junior minister?

i thought the lagos senators were against his confirmation?
