This process happens roughly every 4 years, why don't the people that offer suggestions on Nairaland attend the public hearings and send in memos so that their suggestions can be heard?
Governor @jidesanwoolu today declared open the two-day @NGRSenate Committee Public Hearing on the Review of the 1999 Constitution. The Gov demanded a special status for Lagos, saying that it was time for State police. He also asked for the entrenchment of True Fiscal Federalism.
According to Governor Sanwo-Olu, every Nigerian, male or female should be able to live their dreams and issues of female gender inclusion should also be an addition in the constitution. The public hearing was chaired by Senator @oluremitinubu and had in attendance @YAYIAdeola etc
naptu2: This is the answer to one half of yesterday's quiz.
The question was, why were Franco Baresi and Danny Blind's names omitted from the graphic? Well, I know why Franco's name was omitted, but I don't know why they left out Danny Blind.
Remember that there was something slightly controversial about that incredible final. AC Milan's legendary captain, Franco Baresi, had gotten a red card in the semi-final against Monaco. That meant that he did not play in the final. Fabio Capello had appealed that the rules should be changed and he said that it was unfair to prevent someone like Baresi from playing in the final, but as you can see, Baresi was on the touchline for this game.
His partner, Allesandro Costacurta, got a yellow card in the game against Monaco and he was also suspended for the final.
The loss of their famous defensive pair did not stop the great Milan side from demolishing that fantastic Barcelona side.
Check out the stars on parade! Fabio Capello vs Johan Cruyff, Andoni Zubizaretta, Sebastiano Rossi, Romario, Stoichkov, Massaro, Koeman, Guardiola, Savicevic, Desailly and so many others.
Back then I often wondered how it was in the AC Milan dressing room. Dejan Savicevic and Zvonimir Boban both played for Milan and this was bang slap in the middle of the break up of Yugoslavia. Savicevic was the star of the Serb team and Boban was the star of the Croatian team. Remember the war that broke out when Red Star Belgrade played against Dinamo Zagreb?
Anyway, CHECKOUT SAVICEVIC'S GOAL!
AC Milan 4-0 Barcelona (1994 UEFA Champions League final).
At last! The idea has been around since c2005 and I'm glad that it's finally coming to fruition. I hope that they will look at some of the ideas that were proposed in the past, especially the idea of a railway system.
naptu2: Actually they do know what a mega city means.
A mega city simply means a city with a population above 10 million people.
This whole talk of "Lagos Mega City" began because an international agency stated (at the end of the 1990s or beginning of the 2000s) that Lagos will be one of the world's 5 biggest cities by 2100.
Due to this projection and the fact that they will need to improve infrastructure in order to meet the demands of such a large population, President Olusegun Obasanjo, along with Governors Bola Tinubu and Gbenga Daniel launched the Lagos-Ogun Mega City Project. The headquarters of the commission was on Queens Drive in Ikoyi. The project was meant to include the construction of a railway system that would run through Lagos and Ogun and there were several other projects attached to it.
Bola Tinubu and Olusegun Obasanjo left office. There was a bit of friction between Governor Fashola and Governor Daniel and reporters asked Fashola if the Lagos-Ogun Mega City Project was dead. Fashola's response was this:
He said that the mega city was not a project, but rather a status that was conferred on Lagos by the size of its population. He said that this large population brings challenges and it means that the government must find a means to provide healthcare for this large population (more and better equipped hospitals), it must find a way to move this large population (more means of transportation, like railways, ferries, etc.), it must be able to provide security for this large population (more policemen and police stations), etc.
However, many people have since assumed that the term mega city means, "the best city", it does not.
naptu2: That AC Milan team of 1989-1997 was simply amazing (particularly between 1989-1995).
They were in the European Cup/Champions League final 5 times between 1989-1995. They beat Steua Bucharest in 1989, beat Benfica in 1990, lost to Marseille in 1993, beat Barcelona in 1994 and lost to Ajax in 1995.
The most amazing final was the 1994 final. They beat an equally star studded Barcelona side 4-0! That Barcelona side had Romario, Stoichkov, Koeman, Zubizaretta, Nadal, Michael Laudrup, etc, yet they were whipped by Milan.
In fact, the whole of Serie A was amazing between 1989-1995. We had the 3 Dutch men (Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard) and the Italian National team defence line (Baresi, Maldini, Costacurta and Tassotti) at Milan, the 3 Germans (Matheus, Klinsmann and Brehme) and the Italian National Team goalkeeper (Walter Zenga) at Inter, MA-GI-CA (Maradona, Giodano and Careca) along with Alemao and Zola at Napoli and the Italian National Team's attack line (Schilacci, Baggio, Casiraghi and Di Canio) along with Thomas Hasler and Julio Cesar at Juventus. It was incredible!
Remember that this was before the Bossman ruling and teams could only play 3 foreign players in a match.
ThierryJay: Great team up there. Even though I know all the above players (except Lentini), the AC Milan team that really caught my fancy was the next generation to your team-list (2000 - 2007).
There was just something about Milan and the San Siro that made them the darling of all Serie A teams then. Hope they return to their glory years.
The 1989-1994 AC Milan squad was like a fantasy team. Remember that there were restrictions on the number of overseas players that could be signed, yet it was such a star studded team.
