Bro pls describe where that Evbabogun area is.
I have heard of all the other areas except this one. Thanks

Immediately after winners church along sapele road, the road beside and after the church by your left leads to winners boarding school (Faith Academy) onto Evbabogun straihht down to Upper.
Also after winners church along sapele road there is this NNPC mega filling station, the road opposite the NNPC filling station is called Evbabogun road which also leads to Evbabogun and onto Upper.

Beautiful houses were built in this area with wide roads and lanes and streets all well planned and as we all know winners have never failed to provide good roads in any community where they situate their schools or churches which encouraged people people to build houses here but like the saying goes "there is always a first time" and i am sure with good reasons why winners church has refused to help the community even if they cant tar the road at least grading of the road once in a while will help

OP you will agree with me that evbabogun, and behind winners dont have good roads and is difficult to access during rainy season thats why most houses there are always empty and for rent though the houses are beautiful and expensive to rent and no road.
2 bed room flats should not exceed N120 000 because of the bad road and yet its houses are more expensive than houses in G.R.A.
But if the road was motorable from winners down to Evbabogun then it is worth the amount as the houses are well built.
Winners church should help to work on that road if not then houses will remain empty there

They should keep treating the bandits with hand glove

You mean kid glove.
Police knows what they need to do their job and it is left for the government to provide the police with what they need.
Drones, helicopters, technology on how to lift finger prints from crime scene, data base of most Nigerians through bank information,phone, international passport, registration,voters card etc all have pictures and thumb prints.
What am i even wasting my breath for.

oh my Hazard!




he doesn't deserve to be on that list, remember he battled injury and transfer, with a lot of expectations on him. it can get difficult.

One of the reasons Messi will always remain in Barcelona because of fear of the un known.
If Hazard had remained in Chelsea it would have been a different story.

The looks on their face says it all, that crime does not pay.
Imagine the cheap labour of N20 000 settlement of accomplice from a whole N750 000.
How do you guys feel now?

GOD BLESS NIGERIA


Lol .
In Jesus name and Insha Allah.
PYO, Aka STARBOY will be our next president in 2023.

Btw, we don't do politics, especially Naija kinda politics.
All we want is a better Nigeria.
We have no other country to call our own.
You are very right with your points also Troublemaker! [/quote]For now the only emergency solution that can save Nigeria is constant electricity supply and good roads.
The rest will take care of itself.
Lett there be electricity and good roads then you will see how innovative nigerians are and the economy on its own will take care of itself that federal government will want to reduce minimum wage and labour unions will not complain or go on strike.
Electricity and Roads first

I wonder what Nigeria have to offer to South Africa when it does not have a functional refinery.
I guess South Africa wants to learn how not to make the mistake Nigeria made in the oil sector that they cannot boast of a working refinery.

Suffering Of Benin Amid Border Closure By Goliath, David Begs

A picture taken on September 19, 2019 shows rotten tomatoes in a field, in Grand-Pop. On 19 August, 2019 Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari unilaterally decided, and against all trade and freedom of movement of the treaties of the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), to close the borders between Benin and Niger, causing the rotting of Beninese tomatoes.

Dozens of baskets brimming with newly-picked tomatoes gently rot in the sticky heat, becoming the latest casualty in a bout of trade tension between Benin and Nigeria.
On August 19, President Muhammadu Buhari unexpectedly closed Nigeria’s borders to goods trade with Benin and Niger, declaring the time had come to end rampant smuggling from those countries.

In Benin, Nigeria’s neighbour to the west, traders say the impact has been devastating.

“This is a distressing sight,” Agriculture Minister Gaston Dossouhoui said this month, visiting markets in the town of Grand Popo, one of the main agricultural communities of southern Benin.

“It’s very difficult for our producers. It’s a disaster.”

“Financially speaking, Benin’s small producers are underwater they’ve already had to run up millions (of CFA francs) in debt,” said Adjeoda Amoussou, head of Benin’s Chamber of Agriculture.

Buhari defended the closure by saying Benin and Niger – Nigeria’s neighbour to the northeast — had failed to police their borders properly, and chronic smuggling was the result.

“The borders will remain closed until our neighbours control what goes through the borders and comply with the laws,” warned Hameed Ali, comptroller general of the Nigeria Customs Service.

The move immediately caused a shockwave.

Unilateral border closures go against all commercial and freedom of movement treaties signed under the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The announcement also cast a shadow over a historic free-trade agreement, signed by 54 out of 55 African countries, that reached a key operational threshold just five weeks earlier.

Nigeria, as well as Benin, had signed onto the pact on the eve of the landmark day — a move hailed as a crucial push towards ending the continent’s trade barriers.

David and Goliath
That smuggling goes on is clear, although it goes in both directions.

Huge quantities of frozen chickens, rice, fabric and cars arrive at the port of Cotonou, Benin’s economic capital, where they are taxed locally before being routed -often illegally to Nigeria.

Benin has few functioning petrol stations, and its fuel is far more expensive than in Nigeria, where it is subsidised by the state. A common sight is smuggled Nigerian petrol, sold by the side of the road in jerrycans.

Beyond contraband, though, trade with Nigeria is crucial for Benin and Niger.

Ranking among the world’s poorest countries, they find themselves as David opposite the Nigerian Goliath — a market of 190 million and Africa’s biggest economy.

‘Fear of God’
In Benin, business people in some parts of the economy are panicking, and unfounded rumours that Nigeria will even go so far as to cut off its electricity supply are spreading in local newspapers.

“Buhari and his country want to put an end to us,” said Barthelemy Agon, a pineapple producer. He like many others have been hard-hit by fruits and vegetables no longer being exported to their big neighbour.

As for taxi and truck drivers, it’s barely worth the effort to hit the road since a litre of imported contraband fuel has risen by about one euro ($1.10) since the frontier was closed.

“We are suffering seriously from this situation without petrol we can’t do anything,” said Aristide Samson Assogba, a motorcycle taxi driver.

Sebastien Deguenonvo in Cotonou’s Casse-Auto district said sales of his low-quality diesel had slumped from at least 30 26-litre (six-gallon) cans per day to just 10.”I beg the Nigerian president to have pity on us,” he said.

But if his stoney reputation is anything to go by, Buhari — an ex-general whose first spell as Nigeria’s leader, in the 1980s, came after a coup — is unlikely to be merciful.

“President Buhari should be a little bit afraid of God,” said Henry Assogba from the National Association of Petrol Sellers. “The big one cannot live without the little one.”

Instead of unilaterally closing the border, a move which is against several treaties that Nigeria is party to, the government should find a way to sue the countries for dumping of imported goods in Nigeria.

ECOWAS and AU can be made to force all African countries to ban export of imported goods through land borders with steep fines for offenders.

True talk but i want to believe this move and several warnings must have been sent, but if not then these neighbouring countries can also sue Nigeria if proper and legit measure have not been taken to stop exporting of imported goods to Nigeria.
Lets hope something good will come out of this exercise

Can you imagine? Nigeria has been illegally subsidising petroleum products for its ungrateful neighbours through the activities of saboteur smugglers.

Can you also imagine Nigeria's useless neighbours begging us to allow them continue smuggling contrabands to Nigeria. They must be mad.

Over these years, I have been surprised that the no nonsense Ahmeed Alli has allowed smuggling to flourish, now I understand, the guy has been doing his research and understudying the situation. Now, he has a full grasp of how things work and has taken action to secure our borders.

Long live Ahmeed Alli, long live Buhari, long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

They even exportered Boko Haram

This is height of savagery. You mean B/H also exported to foreign countries?
This Sani guy has started a war of savage words between North and South of Nigeria

IJAW always beating the drums of war. I hope it wont get to that.

Ijaws should no be like Igbos always crying of marginalisation but instead embrace which ever part of the state they are and participate in the politics of their respective states.

The Bayelsa State Police Command on Sunday confirmed the release of Mrs. Beauty Ogere Siasia, the abducted mother of former Nigerian coach Samson Siasia.

A member of the Siasia family, Eworikumo Siasia, also confirmed to our correspondent that the 80-year-old Madam Siasia had been freed and she is at home with family members at their Odoni country home in Sagbama Local Government Area.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Asinim Butswat, a Superintendent of Police, said the police command would issue an official statement later.
