I never voted the ACN but I most confess the physically challenge (PC) have been taken care of in most of the Lagos projects, the Oshodi pedestrian bridge and all the train stations in this project, so for those who have never seen any of these stations to claim there is no access of the PC, so sad the way people think

I found this image in another site claiming to be the stadium so which one is the stadium or maybe one is old then the other is new

if they build people will complain and if they don't people will still complain; in my opinion I believe they should continue to build, one day good people will fill those administrative offices of sports and there won't be any need to build again but to maintain; its better than diverting the money to other countries

You guys are making these boko haram more popular than they should be, anyone who wish for boko haram to bomb another fellow human like himself will surely get the same treatment in Jesus name

Eje ati Wura that the poster mentioned is actually a comedy, but in my honest opinion the special effect guy shouldn't have wasted his talent on that film, every scene in that film special effect; I stumble in the film when visiting one of my customers

professionally its wrong, becos people die in different ways, most of our film producers must first imagine their films without audio first to see if it makes sense before they start thinking about the audio; if you wish to know the difference between the local and foreign films try watching the film without audio

dedeike: I know the next thing will be to blame GEJ for this unfortunate fire incident. And Kobojunkie will fire a topic on the politics section of Nairaland: BREAKING NEWS: NIMASA ON FIRE WHILE PRESIDENT GEJ HEADS TO BELGIUM-Kobojunkie. Posts 253, views 622. Fake people

People who blame GEJ don't do so just because they hate him, GEJ should appoint people who are ready and begging to work for him and not people who knows one godfather or the other; who appointed the minister of finance, or the other ministers ... GEJ, so if they are not performing what do think we should do; those guys in the FED MINs are not the best people to do the job but because of sentiments and politics; and especially the word commonly used "we need a minister from our side". Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) is under FED., Civil Service, and if GEJ had been proactive like some of us wanted him to be, maybe only serious working people would have been the heads of those various departments; when things are nothing working in the US who do people blame - OBAMA, so what is special about GEJ that we should not talk, he is human and if he is going off track, we should be able to knock him back to his senses. Please don't give us that line again that "I know the next thing will be to blame GEJ for this unfortunate fire incident" it is not UNFORTUNATE (wrong words) you and I know someone is hiding something, a place where there is no kitchen or petrol station, or maybe someone will say its the electrical sparks that caused it pleeeeease!

The painting is part of the project, that is the first coating, then after the completion the 2nd coating will commence; you guys have not seen anything, the Lagos Badagry road that is under construction is also receiving maintenance in another section of the same road

To even think this guys open bank accounts with those address, the banks should show the photos of those criminals who used their banks and the bank managers who transferred money without due process of contact authorities, if this is China heads will roll

I need to see David Mark, the people in my street are marginalising me, I want my house to become a state, please my people I need your support

this is to tell you that Nigerians discover black berry a long time ago, we just did not have the technology to complete the creation of BB, I guess someone stole the masterplan.

I remember how back then as a child you dare not say its a lie, but till date some men over 40 still believe in the story, I met one of them at the newspaper stand arguing with people saying the match was real like he watched, he went on and on and even when I tried to put him to the fact he simply said "you know nothing, how old are you" and I told him am in my mid 30s, then he said "you see, you know nothing, everyone watched the match back then", they said the match was played in the National stadium.

To test the pulse of people I will use a camera phone to record the argument and share it, am sure it will be fun; the news was everywhere even in other past of Africa, some people even contacted FIFA back then to verify the story. The creator deserve an award

I decided to wait this long to respond, and I will go straight to the point;

PRO-GEJ SUPPORTERS: to all those who are in support of PDP and GEJ, I want you to know that in a normal society GEJ is fried, Otedola who is obviously GEJ's friend trying to soil the hands of FL, his he trying to tell the world the oil guys did nothing wrong? GEJ has also been quite about this, but he has been very powerful when fighting the masses and this corrupt less than 2% Nigerian cabal walk freely; As I type I feel like crying its so painful.

PRO-GEJ OPPOSITIONS: some of you are too one sided in trying to differentiate your positions, we need to stand in the middle in this matter to be able to see what is happening, Otedola! very funny, so even if those in the subsidy probe are criminals who collects bribe, maybe the government create a law that will ensure that any government criminals are sent to 150 years imprisonment, because when you consider the lives and properties that are destroyed as a result of their criminality; people died in the subsidy protest, these guys are nothing thinking or worried about it.

MY POSITION: I might be wrong but GEJ is very weak on corruption, the Opposition leaders are even weaker, so sad. Otedola and the rest who go about bribing people can bribe almost anybody even the EFCC, the Judge, the NASS and government officials, so who will now save us from these criminals... lets keep God out of this for a moment because we are too quick to forget about his the moment the news dies. GEJ in my view is the most powerful president in the continent of Africa, yet he is finding it difficult to handle this 2% criminals, is Otedola, Farouq, OBJ and the rest now power than the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? some pastors will say "get angry in the spirit" maybe GEJ should get angry in governance and act against this criminals for once before they get tired and attack him when he least effected. Bribe giver and taker are one and the same, these people are anti-people and they will bring this nation down, we need to look into the matter critically and not allow those criminals deceive us with their politricks. GEJ should act now and stop creating room for those criminals to thrive, the criminals in question are all from the same political party so who is fooling who.

This is the reason Buhari will never rule Nigeria, OBJ the lead criminal told us that in the NASS there are a lot of criminals like him there, yet GEJ his boy has not been able to do anything; Ghana uprooted those killing their country, which is why they are getting better everyday; we should forget all those calling him a terrorist yet they cannot arrest him, they know who the killers are NOT BUHARI, so don't be fooled.

Some criminals need to die, some sent to jail before we can fix this country; GEJ said he has used just one year, he has done nothing on corruption or am I the only one who knows, from the bankers, to the govt. officials all walking free with their loots; we are walking in circles.

ogboss: I think its high time they give pilots d previledge of accessing the conditions of d planes de fly, and subdue any higher authority above dem 2 dat effect, cos since d country is corupt, I don't tinl any resonable human being wuld accept bribe 2 fly an air coffin

Just like checking if your car is in order before you drive out my brother its not beans o, after all the years training to become a pilot, he will then return for additional engineering training.

honeric01: Maybe the plane ran out of fuel?

I am thinking they should create fuel station in the air, as well as a plane park in the air too

aweaweawe: this mean,the fault is not from the pilot.

You are right, a boy was flying his kite and it obstruct the view of the pilot, so i agree with you completely

@Downdraft - I feel your pain, may his soul rest in peace

I entered a bus sometime ago, and the people in the bus kept saying its ECOWAS, its FG, when I noticed majority of the people were saying the same thing I kept quite; for those on nairaland who also have access to some file on the internet to still think otherwise, its a pity. The guy who lives in Orile said he sees the building everyday, its shocking that you relied on the LTV news, yet the website of Lagos Rail is there for you to see clear details, or do you think other parties will invest and allow Lagos SG take the glory

Revolva: Link of what has beeen known long ago so its now they posted this you want link I don't blame you you are not in naija or even lagos I do see all the construction work everyday because I live arouind the vincinity Now reason do you think lagos state govt will just start a project like that all such projects of this kind needs assistance and co operation from other surrounding nations

what do you mean by the highlighted, which nation are you taking about, am very sure you didn't hear LTV news say that, or you meant Togo, Benin, Niger, Ghana or where, in Benin they have just 2 flyovers.. may God help us with some statement on Nairaland, maybe Seun should start charge per message some of these baseless statement will reduce

I don't want to be personal but some comments here are too personal, Ranti Martins like most players from Nigeria in search for greener pasture, but he finds himself in India for the same reason some players are in Sudan, it is true he plays in a very weak league, but his techniques and positioning shows he is one player that could do well if given the opportunity could go places, we should not condemn him for going to india, if he earns that much I don't blame him, so players are on the bench in some club and may never get to play. The real aim for a player is to get paid with good money to take care of your family, what use will I be in Manchester without good salary, Eto, Gyang etc are all chasing money, even Drogba, so don't abuse the poor guy, football should not be about Europe, everyone cannot play in Europe, if some of the best doctors and film directed all go to India what is wrong with India.. is it not the same India that wanted to pay Jay Jay millions? common guys don't hate, show some love

I am from Edo state, but everyone should know this is not about tribe but individuals, we all have common connection with those criminals at Abuja, so we should suggest way to stop this crime it has nothing to do with any tribe, so let grow up and acting foolish

As far as I am concern, this guy is a Nigeria and we all are directly affected one way or the other, so those who are making stupid comment simply because the guy is from the igbo race, remember your position when some Yoruba crew committed a fraudulent act months back, what going around come around, we should suggest way to reduce the crime rate and improve on the areas of job creation, although I was born in the late 70s, I was told by my parent that acts like this was condemned by all tribes, but today a lot has changed... its all about getting the million and we don't care to know how, we all need orientation; the government needs to purge itself so that the people will fall in line. Remember your head directs your route - Nana T.

We are still mourning the dead, may there soul rest in peace, next week matches should be played with black arm band

Can some please tell why all those that was caught due to their connections with BH have not been forced to confess the locations of other members or are they saying those that were caught were acting alone? the dots are not connecting, something is missing, somebody should start talking, except they want the prediction of America to be fulfilled, or is this what America was telling us when they said Nigeria will break by 2015? please God save this country of ours.

We make mistake a lot, in the Islamic Calendar we are not in June yet, so maybe that is what GEJ was saying, but if he is actually talking about our June he should call the BH leader to stop the bombing that it is June in Nigeria, and if El-Rufia is right then it will be easy for GEJ to stop the bombing so we should be grateful to GEJ for his resourcefulness, he is far too kind for the time well spent.

deejay_harry1: a phd holder tht thinks like a cow.....dude smh4u..... Ur post iz jst silly

and you claim to be [b]murder[/b]ator maybe you for ban the person abi you no get power

and for those who feel the guy is an agberos, maybe you should ask why agberos are not in school, maybe school should be free from controversies and strikes and his parents will find it easy

Everyone has freedom of association, some people don't understand where GEJ got it all wrong, if without due consultations with the stakeholders (NASS, Unilag current and ex student, LASG, the LAG Council of OBAS) and he simply just woke up one morning to change the name, then he has laid a bad precedent, a future president who doesn't feel MKO deserved anything will simply just change the name to something else, but if things are done with the right consultations, no amount of power can change it. We do not want someone to wake up one morning to say Nigeria deserve a name change, and simply call Nogolia, we should be careful with the way we love the enemies of our enemies, it might hunt us later.

Let assume El-Rufai was not telling the truth and assuming GEJ is sincere; I am still waiting for so many questions to be answered

I remember GEJ told there are BH in his government, that was a very strong statment, yet nothing has come out of it

The faceless BH, how come the few that were arrested, escaped, killed or nothing heard about them anymore... comedy! maybe we should get Jack Bauer to extract information for us if the SSS or government agent cannot get any. Its a shame.

Its okay for the FG and co to accuse anyone of been involved but when other people say the same they get public lashing becos of the blind love for GEJ, beyond our love for him, we should look beneath the lines and sentiments and ask why nobody has been nailed for any crime against the nation.. nothing on corruption or terrorism.

Both GEJ and his enemies cannot fool me, am still watching

@semid4lyfe I make positive contributions, so in order to keep this post alive, I expect everyone to send in their suggestions, I warned before I attacked, am not like that, I love my country and I want the best no matter what, you all have seen my suggestion concerning the subject matter, this should return to the front page for more contributions not negativity

honeric01: Guys abeg, enough o before i do the official things to una 2 o

Oga abeg no vex, you know am not like that, so lets keep the purpose alive, I have sent it some suggestions, please go through it and make some inputs

nitrogen: Seriously, am dissapointed, didnt expect this from babas lyk you, you derailed the thread completely with ya abuses and curses, it's bad. Just lay low and leave the enmity path. Abeg.

I am sorry about everything, if noticed from the beginning I tried to avoid all this, but he push me, so am back to the original purpose of this post, and never mind I will never respond to any interruptions.

I sent a suggestion on the original post a while ago, what is your take on it, because I believe when the people are encouraged to own the clubs through their communities, it will create a platform for massive support; in order to make the club more involved in the development of sports in the state, the club managers (the board) can organise leagues for schools within the states so as to capture young players and encourage them to play for the club. Each communities will also have various age-grade teams for the 5-aside league, that will also be monitored by the club and the state FA.

In order to encourage huge support during games, clubs should have a special department for entertainment; they should have a top class stage that could be quickly assemble and dismantle within minutes, so that during half time break, a top musician and comedian will be invited to entertain the crowd; while the initial stage of the raffle draw will be done for fantastic prizes such as cars, household items, etc.

The managers must first ensure that the clubs are comfortable with the support from the membership fees paid by the supporters, and must ensure the club don't spend beyond the income, pending when the investors come on board.

Expect more inputs

So back to the Original purpose for this post, sorry for the interruption

we need to find ways to convince the government to return the club to the people, by making sure 51% of the club share is sold to the various communities within the state using the local government as avenue to accomplish the mission, and anyone who choose to own a part of the club will simply do so.

Each community will be given equal opportunity using the Germany model; the initial aim will be to raise at least 100,000 supporters by using the simple principle of networking, which is to encourage supporters to invite their friends and family. Each club must have offices within every local government of the state and set-up liaison offices in each of the 35 states and Abuja to cater for supporters who travel outside their state.

Each club must pattern with the police and other security agencies in order to help protect the life and properties of the club and the supporters, and also ensure that the visiting teams gets similar opportunities, the agreement with the police must be with the cooperation with the Inspector General, the state commissioner of Police using the office of the Governor of the state to make it happen (these are areas where the government are needed).

All the club must re-brand, so the old logos must go; members and the public will be expected to send in their designs and the best 10 will be made known for registered members to vote in order to pick their choice, same will be done for other areas such as the club anthem, theme song, pledge etc.

The board members must be people residing with the state and 2 each must be selected from the 3 zone of the state, while the other spaces will be completed by the business group. The board members of the clubs must be seasoned business entrepreneur with some knowledge of sports and must be prepared to be tutored with the current trend of sports business during the transition stages.

More inputs shortly.. I will be back.
