Emphasis: I don't know how well you know Uyo and the location of the Boulevard. I expected you to criticise the Boulevard illustrating your facts based on the Project location. You seem not to know Uyo well enough.

The Boulevard, aside from its Aesthetics (which is a vital part of every infrastructural development) is not designed to serve as an Amusement park. That Boulevard located along Abak Rd (Olusegun Obasanjo way) was primary designed to ease influx and outflow of traffic from the IBOM OLYMPIC STADIUM under construction.
It's also to decentralised traffic from the city centre.

It's strategically located such that someone going to the stadium from Abak, Oron, Itu, Ikot ekpene etc doesn't have to pass through the city centre. If that's not a PURPOSEFUL DEVELOPMENT that solves problem, then i guess you're not talking about the Boulevard in Uyo. I'm an Architect too, if I must mention

Succinctly put. Below is a backdrop pic of the boulevard depicting Ibom Stadium Complex

k2039: Philipp Lahm

This guy actually knows what's up. Lahm is one of the most intelligent players out there...and my MOTM; he knows when to attack and defend, can be deployed as a RB, LB or CM, weeps in very good crosses and has low centre of gravity (which means he's difficult to be dispossessed of the ball) Brilliant player overall #My humble opinion

Lastly, crude oil can be found in Anambra, Imo,
Abia, Lagos, Ondo, Bayelsa, cross river, Edo,
Rivers state,

Errr! Akwa Ibom State, currently with the highest amount of oil/gas produced in the country, no longer has a single drop of petroleum product in your list abi? OP, shebi na you go lick/inhale the oil/gas finish for Ibeno/Ekid (and those purportedly traced in Oron, Itu and Uruan)?

donkotman: Dey r scammers,I got d same text with d same address,diff Company's name.......beware

Thanks @donkotman

Dear NLs, I got an invite via a text message for a "test/job briefing" from "HRA/BDR/3:4" as depicted below in the attached file. Anyone got an invitation too?

Rdduite: Please Sir, for someone like me that can't play band, will there be a training?

@Rdduite, yes! You (and those that have registered interest) will be trained on how to play a particular instrument (trumpet, tenor, bass or snare/side drums) in camp. But I hope you're a fast learner as there'll be few days (Maybe 4-5 days) of training prior to screening... I must admit it won't be easy as you'll have to know, based of your type of instrument, how to play a full military parade, consisting of: Colour party, 3 General Salutes (police commissioner/road safety marshal, military commandant, fanfare for governor/president or their reps), National Salutes (National and NYSC anthems), Inspection, Slow and Quick march, etc. Might not be as difficult as I make it seem, but if you pass the screening, you're 100% going to be posted to the state capital...

Depends entirely on the type of NYSC staffs and Military Personnel in camp; If they're good/kind, you'll be privy to a bit of key info in camp but you'll have to use that to your advantage - it might not necessarily influence your posting (PPA) though, ELSE you'll benefit Nada, zilch, zero, shimkpain! Best bet, join the NYSC Musical Band in camp - you'll enjoy both in and out of camp. Why you may ask? NYSC Band is the ONLY military arm of ALL the CDS' in camp and the soldiers really respect the band boys as long as you guys can play well during parades and salutes)...I was a member of the band and we used to sit with soldiers in Mami to have fun. You can even leave the useless afternoon lectures on the pretence of going to service/repair the band instruments in time for parade cuz those khaki boys don't joke with parade o. Outside camp, all Band members are ALWAYS posted to the state capital (NYSC State Coordinator will need you guys for National Salutes during NYSC functions in the state so there's no way you'll be posted elsewhere) #My two pence

Demdem: Those within the industry and those living within kolo creek knows Nestoil is currently working in making sure gas from kolo creek is passed into SOKU. I have no material evidence if that is what u are looking for. U will have to get down to the creeks and get ur info the same way I got mine.

@Demdem, I had the opportunity to work for a key contractor (won't mention company's name) in SHELL's Gbaran Ubie Integrated Oil and Gas Project and according the contract agreement and scope of work based on detailed project technical specification, Gas from NAG/AG wells (Etelebou, Kolo Creek, Zarama and Koroama wells) via various pipe/flowlines are gathered at Sokou Manifold and routed to the Central Processing Facility (CPF Site) in Gbaran for processing before being exported to Bonny/NLNG Terminals.

Hence, gas being passed into Sokou Manifold is SHELL (Client's specification) and has absolutely nothing to do with the Presidency or who/whatever you were pointing to...

Nice update @t-something

ak47mann: 1.3 MILLION FOR STANDARD ONES 1.8 FOR FULLY LOADED ONES

I don't think so man, those kinda prices for SUV would drive Innoson out of business...

@OP, Your picture of Awka in Anambra State is actually a picture of Uyo in Akwa Ibom State. A false representation which needs to be taken down and replaced accordingly... #If in doubt, watch one of the Uncommon Transformations videos of AKS - from 0:58sec - 1:01min..

Excellent news. But be ready to start paying through your noses, British Gas don empty my account finish...

According to sources, some PDP governors and members of the National Assembly have approached the APC for some partnership and political collaboration, including joining the new party.

It was gathered that the governors and National Assembly members believe that APC can offer more to Nigerians.

It was learnt that the potential members of APC have tabled some terms which the Progressive Governors Forum will look into alongside the Interim National Executive Committee.

The terms were not immediately known last night.

And I stopped reading from here... #yawns

asha 80: smh at t a orji......though i remember readind last week that abia and akwa ibom states have agreed to allow a private firm construct that road(whatever that means).it was on guardian newspaper and it was posted here.

You're very correct. It was announced after the SS/SE Governors met in Enugu on economic integration of both regions. Let's just hope T. A. Orji has finally grown a pair of soccer-sized b@alls to do the right thing..

HNosegbe: I was actually hoping to hear about rail links from the port.

How efficient is it to keep carrying heavy goods by road?

It is still at developmental phase, I think a rail link project would be too immature at this stage... Albeit it's a good idea that requires early planning, I don't foresee Ibaka port experiencing too much activities as there's Onne Port in Port Harcourt, hence there'll be lesser traffic and vehicular activities on the proposed road. Meanwhile, the revamped or proposed standard gauge rail tracks for the eastern part of the country will be extended further, either from Aba - Uyo or Port Harcourt - Uyo, which would make it easy to construct rail link to the port. Source below:

Jonathan has promised to revamp the moribund rail system in the country and to link Akwa Ibom and Cross River states with railway lines. It is not the first time that government has said it would extend railway services to Calabar or Uyo.

EUROBOMBER: CCECC will do the job and I trust them. I can't wait for this seaport to commence operations. The SS/SE might overtake Dubai.

Lol, overtake Dubai..Dude seriously? #Pass me whatever you're smoking bro It's good to be optimistic, but you're wayyy overboard with your optimism - not when Naija politicians are at the helm of affairs...

Meanwhile, CCECC is currently handling the dualisation of Etinan - Eket - Ibeno road while Julius Berger is dualising Uyo - Ikot Ekpene - Aba road. Do you think CCECC will have the manpower to carry out two major road projects and still deliver on the schedule of key dates?

Tolexander: Another musiwa!

...This is even as the Governor pledged to within one month award contract for the dualisation of the port main access road to link the East –West road with a view to making it more intermodal

Way to go Mr Governor, I do hope the contract will be awarded to Julius Berger or CCECC for a better and more efficient road construction that'll be durable.

"Will soon"? #Same old phrase.. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/images/smilies/hahano.gif

rotas: Reprom co.nig ltd is making history. Ajaokuta steel is back again.d ukranians are on ground now.work is going on now on d thermal plant to generate power.we should expect wire rods n steel bar coming out in weeks to come.

@rotas,
*Do you work or live near Ajaokuta plant/facility? How are you aware of the work being carried out?
*Has the dispute concerning the Indians who were alleged to run the plant aground been resolved?
*The Chinese showed interest in resuscitating the plant/facilty during FG's recent visit to China, and I think MoUs were signed... What happened to this effect?

Kindly throw more light on the above... Thanks #I'm just excited about the news, and will be pretty happy if FG is able to facilitate production/generation from Ajaokuta plant.

koruji: In the hands of a more competent individual these actions would make sense, but not in the hands of GEJ.

I have watched over the last week or so as the GEJ goons swooned over his visit to China - some kind of "take dat" to President Obama. You people fail to see the comedic irony, because:
1. GEJ went to China as a borrower, not as an equal partner, but as a "borrower".
2. Who was the Chinese president visiting a couple of weeks before GEJ went to China?

You cannot substitute bravado for wisdom...

Oi listen, I am not here to praise an individual or party... I am only happy that for once the FG have decided not to cow to international pressure but to stand up for Nigerians and what we believe in - our culture, norms and values. My point did not only address the state visit to China, but other diplomacies to shove back pressures of foreign powers where the sun doesn't shine #Did you even bother to open the link and read the whole article before pouncing on your keyboard? It clarifies issues and Nigeria's position on death sentence, gay rights, piracy and crude oil theft by foreigners, Sudanese President's visit, et al...whereby pressure is being applied on Nigeria by foreign powers.

My point is:

*Some states in the US still serve capital punishment (death sentence) to offenders but Human Rights Activists have kept mum only to dabble into our affairs.

*UN has disrespected Nigeria despite being the largest country in Africa on peace keeping missions - Liberia, SL, Dafur, Congo, Ivory Coast, etc. What experience and military tact does Rwanda have over Nigeria on peace keeping missions, that a Rwandan is appointed to lead West African contingent when a Nigerian is there?

*News Agencies keep telling bare-faced lies and reporting trash despite our positives and progress made in fighting against boko haram terror, citing extra judicial killings, Baga mass grave, the military being stretched or not just good enough... How many people have the US killed with drone strikes in the middle east? Haow many has CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera reported?

*Obama was in the middle east to address issues even when war against terror was boiling. Mc Cain was in Syria to support the rebels amidst gun battles more deadly than what we've experienced here in NE Nigeria...yet Obama couldn't visit, citing security issues. Meanwhile, we've been doing US bidding and serving their interest since time immemorial - our support against Al-Gaddafi. The state visit to China was to show that, as the most populous black nation, we can make other allies within a snap of the finger.

So tell me, is it not time we took a stand as a sovereign nation and call their bluff? #Keep your crappy party talk and power tussle in disguise to yourself mate.

Recently, GEJ visited China to sign MoUs related to infrastructural development and back-stage Military pact after Obama snubbed Nigeria during his visit to Africa. Also, FG announced withdrawal of Nigerian troops from Dafur (Sudan) and Mali to spite the UN after it appointed a Rwandan to lead the UN African-PKO mission in Mali (despite the fact that Nigeria contributes the highest peace keeping force in Africa and fourth in the world - with vast experience)

Following recent events and from the above, without mincing words, it appears that, for once, GEJ/FG have grown the biggest pair of b@lls in dealing with international politics and will not submit to being anyone's puppet. #Way to go FG

Nigeria would no longer tolerate the meddling of the international community in the internal affairs of the country. This was the warning of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olugbenga Ashiru when he read the riot act to diplomats in Abuja on Friday during a session to address issues of oil theft, terrorism, death sentence, gay rights amongst others that relate to Nigeria and the international community.

The Minister lamented the constant meddling and pressures the international community places on Nigeria especially on issues of death sentence and the gay marriage.

He cautioned the diplomats against making comments on political issues that “amounted to undue interference in Nigeria’s internal affairs.”

“Some ambassadors and their diplomats have been hob-nobbing with civil society groups and opposition parties in the country. This is incompatible with the status of diplomatic missions or agents. We will not hesitate to identify and deal with erring missions that fail to respect Nigeria’s sensitivities and sovereignty” Mr. Ashiru declared.

The envoy urged the diplomats to enable their governments understand Nigeria’s perspectives on gay rights and death penalty. He said the country’s criminal code contains provisions for death sentence for now and review could happen in the nearest future.

“On gay rights, I must stress that this is not in accord with the culture and beliefs of the generality of Nigerians. I, therefore, appeal to the international community through you to show greater understanding of the culture and traditions of our people,” he said.

He warned that Nigeria does not meddle in the business of other nations and should not be manipulated otherwise.

Revolva: when the population are hungry ..wh are they combating now ask me...warship

When you don't bother to read the news and are too lazy to do a little bit of research for yourself, how are you supposed to know Nigeria currently experiences pirates activities, kidnapping and crude oil theft in Nigerian waters? #crawl back to your woodwork man
