There was riot many things were distroyed in the process ...

Only an idiot would think this can be fire service truck ...by the way is fire service not a federal organization ?

Obalatule:
Although the truck looks archaic, it actually took some Beating that's why it's that way......Besides Fire service is federal

There is a Federal Fire Service, but states have also always had their own fire services.

RASHEEDAT AJIBADE!!!

Scoreline??

This is just a friendly to prepare Barca for the Champions League, yet we've seen scorelines like this in a men's Premier League match. This result was in a competitive game

Caro and Messi

Someone wrote that Barca's attack is only made up of Oshoala, but this is Caroline Graham Hansen.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fejud9uo6I

This British man said that he believes that Barca would win the Champions League because of their great attack and midfield. His friend said that Bayern would win. He had to tell his friend that he was referring to the female Champions League, not the male. Another friend said that he thought that the guy had gone mad until he realised that he was referring to the female Champions League.

The second tweep demands that Oshoala should bring home the Champions League.

Messi scored in the Champions League during the week and this was Asisat's reaction.

(The third tweep said that she would pay to be present when they have that conversation).

Calculations about the Champions League have begun. This magazine wrote that Lyon are the favourites, although they are weaker than they used to be, followed by Wolfsburg and Barcelona. They wrote that Wolfsburg and Barcelona both have great attacks.


A fan replied that Barcelona shouldn't have been listed as third because their attack mainly consists of Oshoala.

Barca fans laughed at her and asked her what about Jenni, Lieke and Graham.

Reactions

Oshoala Scores Again As Barcelona Beat Montpellier 1-6

Asisat Oshoala scored and provided an assist as Barcelona defeated Montpellier 1-6 in the second friendly between both teams in a week.

Aitana Bonmati opened scoring for Barcelona in the 19th minute before Oshoala provided the asist for former World Player of the Year, Lieke Martens to double the lead on 39 minutes.


An own goal by Montpellier’s Sarah Puntigam made it 3-0 before Oshoala scored in the 63rd minute to make it 4-0 to Barcelona. Alexia Putellas and Leila Ouahabi got Barcelona’s fifth and sixth goals in the 72nd and 89th minutes respectively. Montpellier pulled a goal back in the 82nd minute and the match ended with a 1-6 scoreline in favour of Barca.

Just another day at the office for Lady Oshoala


The reigning Africa Women’s Player of the Year had also scored one of Barcelona’s goals in the 3-0 win against Montpellier in the previous friendly on August 2nd.


Oshoala and her Barcelona teammates’ next game is against Atletico Madrid, in the quarter-final of the UEFA Women’s Champions League on August 21.

Pls explain... Am not your regular average nairalander. Am all earpiece.

OK

1) Marina was the capital of Lagos and in fact, the capital of Nigeria during the colonial era and the early 1960s. The Governor General's house was at Marina, the National Assembly was at Tafawa Balewa Square, near Marina, the Supreme Court was at Igbosere, near Marina, the Federal Secretariat was at Marina, even the colonial church was at Marina. That's why Lagos House was built at Marina.



2) In 1976 Murtala made Ikeja the capital of Lagos (there was always this issue of rivalry between the Federal and Lagos State Governments, that's why Abuja doesn't have an elected government of its own). Therefore the headquarters of the Federal Government was on Lagos Island, while the headquarters of the Lagos State Government was in Ikeja.


At that time going between Marina and Ikeja was like going to another state. The first section of the Third Mainland Bridge was only commissioned in 1980 and that first section ended at Ebute Metta. You had to go through enormous traffic jams at Herbery Macaulay Way and another set of enormous traffic jams on Ikorodu Road in order to get to Ikeja.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Secretariat was in Ikeja, the Lagos State House of Assembly was in Ikeja, the Lagos State Police Headquarters was in Ikeja and even the governor's office was at Ikeja.

At that time it was very clear that Ikeja was the capital of Lagos. When Shagari was sworn in at Tafawa Balewa Square, Jakande was sworn in at Police College, Ikeja. For every event that the Federal Government had on Lagos Island, the Lagos State Government had its own in Ikeja.


It wasn't a problem for Jakande, because he chose to live in his personal house in Ilupeju, which is near Ikeja, but it became a problem for Mudasiru. How would he cope going from Marina to Ikeja all the time?

That's why they bought the house at Isaac John Street. Note: that house was not built for the governor. They bought an already existing house near the governor's former house at Oba Akinjobi. That's where the military governors of the 1980s and 1990s lived. Mrs Mudasiru did not like excess. She didn't have a motorcade neither did she use sirens and it would have been impossible for her to go from Marina to her farm in Iju everyday.


Navy Captain Akhigbe felt that the situation was bad. The house at GRA was not built to be the governor's house. He felt that it would be better for the governors house and office to be at the same place, right next to the state secretariat and house or assembly. So he started building Lagos House, Alausa.

Governor Marwa's motorcade was hit by a bomb when he was on his way to work and that's why he moved back to Marina. The house at GRA was not built to be the governor's house and it didn't have the needed security.


Note: The house at GRA is not used by the governor at the moment. He doesn't live there, neither does he work there.


Bola Tinubu finished the Lagos House at Alausa, because he believed that the governor would prefer to live there instead of going from Marina to Alausa everyday, but Fashola and Sanwo-Olu have preferred to stay at Marina.

Ambode planned to turn Lagos House Marina and State House Marina into museums while he lived at Lagos House, Alausa.


By the way, the president of the US also lives and works at Camp David. It is his holiday home. Many significant international treaties have been negotiated and signed at Camp David (eg the Camp David Accords).

Blair House's main use is as a guest house for the president. It is opposite the White House. However, the president also stays there when the White House is being renovated (basically, it's just like State House Ikeja GRA). Note that Blair House is actually 3 or 4 houses joined together, but I'm referring to the original Blair House.

The Presidential Town House is where former presidents stay when they visit Washington.

hush15:
Yes now or didn't you read your post? The governor lives and works from those places.

I'm wondering if I should explain or if it will just be a waste of time.

If you didn't read my posts on the first page and if you don't know the difference between Camp David, the White House, the Presidential Town House, etc. or the difference between Ikeja GRA, Alausa and Marina, how can I be sure that you wi read and understand my explanation?

hush15:
The question you ask is white house the same as Blair house and camp David?

Is Marina the same as Ikeja GRA or Alausa?

IvarTheBoneless:
RuddyFusion is ONLY useful for posting anti Yoruba, anti Tinubu posts....

It's not surprising his IQ is insufficient to process simple things.





Thanks naptu2 as always for being my favourite nairalander with all these detailed posts, sir. Is there a naptu1 ? Love reading Nigeria's history. You gave a detailed breakdown of Domkat Bali - military hierarchy. it was very impressive and enlightening.

Thanks again!

Thank you.

Waste of buildings and resources. Reason why cost of governance is quite high. When governor uses almost 4 buildings. No wonder they wan die there.

White house is white house. They don't have replica of it. Lagos house marina has so much space to incorporate so much things. Lagos no get planning at all. Governor in marina, state secretariat is at alausa. Then build at GRA when you have just moved to alausa straight. That's how our monies are being wasted

Err, White House is White House, but have you ever heard of Blair House and Camp David??

Lagos House, Alausa.

He can't even comprehend the answer in my post.


This is the council chambers at Lagos House, Alausa.

Rufex07:
... Why tell us? You get videos online that are shared by people, yet you are claiming you have what might have been shared already by other good people.

Is it until you are incapacitated you will share?

Some people and their unnecessary ownership mentality. The ones many of our fathers did and took them to the grave. Smh�

I posted it because I felt like posting it and I will post whatever I feel like posting and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it but rant online. I owe you no explanation.

Once again. I have a video of the commissioning of Lagos House Abuja in 1991, but I'm not yet ready to post it.

Ishilove:
Great job, naptu2!

Thank you.

Did naptu2 or anyone else, too, saw Jagaban, in 1999, trying to do the COVID-19 or Corona virus elbow salutation at the 2:30 mark of that video and few laughed?

I didn't notice it before.

NGpatriot:
@ naptu2, this is another super gem thread.


Thanks.

Thank you.

RuddyFusion:
Why was Ambode omitted in this story?

That's why it's good to read and understand.

I wrote that Ambode lived at Lagos House, Alausa because he wanted to save time. I also posted pictures of Ambode introducing his children to President Muhammadu Buhari and also a picture of him in the office, yet you said that he was omitted. Is it that difficult to read?

I remember when my mum attended scout meetings at Lagos House when Jakande and later Mudasiru were governors. They had their parades on the lawn in front of the house.
