Ishilove:
There is everything wrong with it. Why must we buy it a high price in the first place? The whole idea of limiting importation of foreign rice is to boost the local production. It makes no sense that we are buying the locally made rice at a higher price when we can buy the foreign counterpart at a lower. They need to give the farmers more incentives to produce at a lower cost instead of making policies that is making life harder than it already is for the average Nigerian.

PRESS RELEASE

NCoS TO COMMENCE IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGATIONS OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES IN IKOYI CUSTODIAL CENTRE

The attention of the Nigerian Correctional Service has been drawn to a publication by The Radar Online Medium containing allegations of drug abuse, sodomy, bribery, pimping and cash and carry operations in Ikoyi Custodial Centre, Lagos.

In view of the gravity of the allegations, the Controller General, Ja’afaru Ahmed has set up a high powered panel to immediately commence full investigations into the matter in order to establish the authenticity of the report, identify and bring the culprits to book if found guilty of the allegations.

The CG who gave the directive in his office in Abuja today stated that the Service is willing to work with the general public as well as relevant stakeholders in the justice sector to actualize the policy objectives of transforming the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) into a modern reformatory institution that operates in line with best international practices.

He noted that investigative journalists are partners, who seek the development of the nation, and called for more of such findings aimed at reforming the institution for better service delivery.

Ja’afaru stated further that the Service has no intention of arresting or harassing the journalist over his alleged findings. He therefore called for more constructive engagement with the media and the general public with a view to strengthening the implementation of the Nigerian Correctional Service Act, 2019.

EqUalJustice:
Yes, but in my own opinion, I think the development needs to spread to other Locations like Ondo State, Edo, Delta, Rivers, Cross River and Akwa Ibom.

These states are also close to the sea, they can have sea ports too.

The way Lagos is going, the population explosion could be uncontrollable. Except if they want to make Lagos as Industrial sites while other states will just be Residential states only (where people will transit daily via trains).

At the end, Lagos would be an industrial hub.

Are you unaware some communities prevent infrastructural development for the sake of settlement of the youth?
Dangote initially planned to situate his refinery in Ondo State, but the host communities frustrated him with outrageous demands. Fashola came and snatched him from under their nose and ensured that the host communities in Lekki did not overburden him.

https://www.nairaland.com/1415180/dangote-construct-refinery-petrochemical-complex

These are businesses, not government. They are not charities. They will go where business is good and conditions are favourable. The challenge to other states is to make the conditions in their states favourable for business.
Business › Re: Tolaram Group To Build Biggest Regional Port In Lagos by naptu2: 4:48pm On Oct 22, 2019
Meanwhile, they also need investors for the Lekki Airport (I heard about the airport for the first time in 1989 and it still hasn't been built).

sarrki:
Indomie?

Though it will create jobs

What about the health implications?
Indomie is its most popular product, that's why it is mentioned, but the company is also into real estate (they also once owned a car company called The Honda Place).

Its real estate arm is a huge investor in the Lekki Deep Sea Port project and that's the port that they are referring to. The Lekki Port is part of the Lekki Free Trade Zone and the Lagos State Government has been working on the project since the early 2000s (it's been planned on paper long before that).

Meanwhile, Dangote has already built a massive jetty in the area because the Apapa Port could not handle the equipment that he needs for his refinery.

porka:
He is actually not referring to services. He is talking about building sustainable wealth that spans several generations of the builders of the institutions.

For instance, what is the assurance that GTBank and Innoson (in your example) would continue to exists in the next 50 years? And more importantly, what is the guarantee that their ownership structure would be in the family/circle to sustain the organizational vision and institutional stability?

In other words, are the current owners children's children not going to be looking for jobs/starting afresh in 100 years from now?

Fine, GTBank had very successful transition from Fola Adeola and managed a non-disruptive succession after the sudden demise of Tayo Aderinokun, but how it can be sustained for another 100 to 200 years is the question.

He should have known that many younger people will not know why he asked if we can recognize the other people in the picture (there are many other famous people that might be in this picture).

The guy with arms akimbo looks like Melvin Ukachi. Ben is the only light complexioned person there, so I don't think that Dapo Olumide is here (I remember that he was younger than the rest).

The late Tayo Aderinokun might also be here (he was in the same set), but I can't tell because of the hair.

What set was Jimi Agbaje in?

But her leg will be too heavy when playing for the national teams.Nonsense and overrated.
She replicated that form for Nigeria between 2013 and 2016 (highest goal scorer at Nations Cup, highest goal scorer at Under 20 World Cup, etc.).

The question is, why can't she replicate that form now? What changed between 2016 and now?

Topic of discussion:

Asisat Oshoala and Ngozi Okobi provided beautiful goals and assists to the Nigerian national teams between 2013 and 2016 (the Super Falcons did not play in 2017), but their form for the national teams since 2018 has been less than stellar. They still deliver the goods at their club sides (they both scored and provided assists last week and this weekend), but they don’t perform as well at the national team. What could be the problem?

Throwback to 2015 when Ngozi Okobi sparked the fight back against Sweden at the Women’s World Cup. The Swedes had raced to a 2-0 lead. Okobi scored Nigeria’s first goal, then she assisted Asisat Oshoala to score the second goal. There was a BBC feature about this game and all the players that were interviewed praised Okobi. Okobi said that she saw Oshoala and knew that Oshoala was fast enough to get the ball and cause damage and that’s why she passed the ball to her. Ngozi Okobi also passed to Francisca Ordega who scored the third goal. It ended:

Nigeria 3-3 Swden.

Asisat Oshoala is now the second highest goal scorer in the Primera División Liga Iberdrola with 5 goals in 6 games. The highest goal scorer is her Barcelona team mate Jenni Hermoso.

There are 2 Africans in the top 5, Asisat Oshoala of Nigeria and Jade Boho (Sayo) of Equatorial Guinea (well, Spanish born Equato-Guinean).

FC Barcelona Women – Logroño: A win with authority (5-0)

Lluís Cortés' side continues to demonstrate its strength with a sixth consecutive win in all competitions

www.fcbarcelona.com
05:13pm Sunday 20 Oct


Barça Women are still unbeaten at the Johan Cruyff Stadium after a great 5-0 win against Logroño. Tacón and Atlético Madrid had conceded nine goals and six goals respectively at the new ground, and another five on Sunday meant a total of 20 goals in three league games at home, and a total of 27 if we add the two UEFA Women's Champions League games.

All over in 25 minutes

The blaugranes, who wore a pink armband in support of the International Day against breast cancer, quickly imposed their rhythm and scored within four minutes through Marta Torrejón. The visitors tried to react quickly through Barbra Banda, but it was Barça who went further ahead through Jenni Hermoso on 23. Two minutes later, Aitana Bonmatí extended the advantage, and 3-0 at halftime meant that the game was practically over.

Ambitious and eager to please, Oshoala quickly added Barça's fourth after the break, with Hamroui rounding things off nine minutes from time.
