CHAI. I remember that Daewoo Racer promotion. The car was so light and crap, the panels were deemed to glass - like!!!!
I think the Espero promotion came before the Racer promotion, I can't remember for sure.

There's actually a reason behind the nature of the Daewoo panels. The idea was that the boot and the engine compartment should crumple easily, so that they would absorb the impact of a collision, while the passenger compartment was much stronger in order to protect the passenger (I think they overdid it).

Bros do you think this bridge is achievable in today's Nigeria?

I don't.
People said the exact same thing when the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge was being built (I can show you the thread), but today I jog on it and drive over it everyday.

Politics › Re: The Proposed 4TH Mainland Bridge & Masterplan In Pictures by naptu2: 7:47pm On Apr 26, 2016
naptu2:
The basic idea is that development is concentrated in the centre of the city (Lagos Island [especially Marina], Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Yaba, Surulere and Apapa) and the Ikeja area (Maryland, Oģba, Ilupeju, etc).

So the government wants to spread development eastwards (Lekki Free Trade Zone), southwards (Eko Atlantic City), westwards (Badagry Free Trade Zone and Energy City) and northwards (Ikorodu Industrial Estate [which will benefit from the new bridge].

This is to reduce pressure on the centre of the city and Ikeja.

oduastates:
4th mainland bridge is a shortsighted waste of money as a result of lack of planning.

Why do we need another bridge to a tiny island,that will be under water, in less than 100 years.
Like the badly concieved mega city thingie,which has resulted in the spread of an urban ghetto sprawl,this money would have been better spent on reclaiming what has been lost.
Instead of a single business district , would it not have been better to have a series of business districts like the central business district.
Like one business district in Ketu, Surulere, Agege and Ojo respectively thereby reducing the need for a new bridge all the time.
That money would also be better spent building a subway system or urban railways system.
Koolking:
I agree with your submission. More business districts and infrastructural development on the mainland will make more sense. With the 4th Mainland bridge, there's bound to be backlash in the 'not so later future' due to complete attention to the already dearth infrastructure on Island, coupled with limited space and environmental peril.
Everything that you guys are talking about is already in the masterplan (I'm surprised that you guys don't know this).

With respect to more business districts, Lagos State is working with the private sector to develop:

1) Badagry Energy City and port: This will be in the western part of the state. It will include the Oanda Refinery, Badagry Deep Sea Port and will be served by the expanded Badagry Expressway and the Blue Line rail system.


Lekki Free Trade Zone: This is a development that has been proposed since the 1980s and is only being developed now. It is in Ibeju Lekki (note: Ibeju Lekki is different from Lekki) to the east of the state. The development will include the Dangote Refinery, Lekki Airport, Lekki Deep Sea Port, etc. The free trade zone will be served by the Green Line railway system and the Fourth Mainland Bridge.


Eko Atlantic City: This will be on reclaimed land to the south of the city. It will also have its own tram system.

There are also developments in Ikorodu, to the north of the city.

Note also that LAMATA has proposed 7 rail lines for Lagos. One of them, the Blue Line, is already being built. It will run from Okokomaiko to Marina. Construction of the Blue Line was delayed because the Federal Government delayed issuing the necessary guarantee for the funding of the project. The Red Line will run from Ogun State, through Murtala Muhammed Airport, Yaba, Iddo to Marina. One of the agreements reached when President Buhari went to China was a loan agreement between a chinese bank and a chinese company that will build, operate and hand over the Red Line project.

SmartMugu:
If that's the case, it's indeed a nice concept. From the shops, the state can generate more income. But, how do people get to their shops? I'm thinking there may be some stairs on the vehicles portion of the bridge to take them to the pedestrian path, correct? Cos I don't think anyone would want to walk from one end of the bridge to the other to do some shopping .
By rail.

oduastates:
This particular one is a waste and absolutely unnecessary. That state is already choked with vehicular traffic. Lagos needs to cater less for cars but more for trains, underground and bicycles.
To even think about the amount of petrol being consumed in the state ( stuffs they should be exporting)
That's why there's a tram system incorporated in that bridge.

(It's a two-tier bridge, incorporating a roadway on the upper level and tramway, shops, pedestrian walkway, etc on the lower level).

People always say that this senator or that senator doesn't speak in the Senate (popular victims are Ben Murray Bruce and Remi Tinubu), but I know that the truth is that these people do not follow events at the National Assembly.

The NTA has a show called "From The National Assembly". It's usually shown everyday from 11am (live) and 2am (repeat). They usually alternate between the Senate and the House Of Representatives. Anybody that watches that show will know that the claim that these senators do not speak in the Senate is false.

The Senate also has a Twitter handle @NGRSenate which live tweets the proceedings in the Senate.

Hi People,

Mr common sense senator has been very vocal on social media about issues affecting the federal government.

I think that is great but he seems to be less vocal about the Senate where he was elected to represent his constituency. I find this to be quite hypocritical.

What new legislation has Mr. Common sense promoted to better the lives of Nigerians or his constituency? He was not elected to present his ideas on youtube.

Create legislation to promote your ideas.

Until Mr common sense starts to tackle his primary obligations, It is difficult to take him seriously.

hifaif1:
You are not fair with your conclusion!!! This is like comparing the career of Tuface with that of the late Nomoreloss!!!

If you remember the time when Mikel was without a club (at a time when Man Utd and Chelsea were battling over him), he was in Naija, training with guys!!! If his career had somehow ended then, would you be using him as an example today? He would also probably be begging today because prior to getting signed to Chelsea, he played for a small club that probably paid little!!!

Opabunmi was a fantastic player who unfortunately had a very unsuccessful career!!! There was not enough to invest with and moreover, the little he had was what went into catering for himself and his family!!! I listened to the story of how he spent all his savings on his eye problem without any positive result!!! It was the same eye problem that made him lose his position in his club and that eventually saw him back in Nigeria!!!
+100

He was the star of the team at T&T 2001, but he didn't really achieve success beyond that, so I'm wondering where all the millions that some people are talking about came from.
Sports › Re: Femi Opabunmi Seen Begging In Ibadan by naptu2: 11:09am On Apr 26, 2016
The stars of Nigeria's team at T&T 2001 were Femi Opabumi (left wing), Omonigho Temile (right wing), Soga Sambo (defence), Victor Brown (attack) and Kennedy Chinwo (defence).

He did not play for under 17. He played for SE at the Korean /Japan 2000 claiming 17years than.
shocked Ha! Then who was the left winger that scored against Japan at the 2001 U17 World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago?

Who was the left winger that was the star of Nigeria's team that got to the final of the 2001 U17 World Cup??

By the way, the Korea/Japan World Cup was held in 2002, not 2000.
Sports › Re: Femi Opabunmi Seen Begging In Ibadan by naptu2: 10:20am On Apr 26, 2016
Fantastic winger at the u17 world cup in Trinidad and Tobago. They were beaten by Anthony LeTallec and Florent Sinama Pongolle in the final .

Unfortunately he didn't do anything spectacular after that world cup.
