Odingo1:
All this project in the south east that is ongoing before has been stopped.

Onitsha River Port

Aba dry port

Free trade zone

No Federal Road construction

Can you show any evidence that any of those projects were actually live/ongoing before Buhari came in?

Also, what exactly so you mean by bo federal road construction?... Can you swear on your life that you havemt seen any single federal road being constructed in the SE?.... If your claim is that the projects are slow in the SE, can you point out any single federal road project in any other zone of the country that is going fast?.... Enough of this bictim mentality nonsense please. Projects are ongoing all over the country but all of them are proceeding too slowly.

Odingo1:
This is bad, why must Buhari close every possible thing down in South East.

What else was closed?

But at some point in recent history, I thought I read somewhere that funds were appropriated for the rehabilitation and expansion of the Enugu airport runway?

degamemaster:
That's exactly the pattern buhari used to stop the going on in second no get bridge, till today nothing has been done on that bridge except propaganda and false information. The same going to happen to enugu air port.

Yes, Buhari hasn't added a single block or bag of cement to the 2nd Niger bridge. All we see on tv and online is propaganda. Every single brick in that project was placed by GEJ, the lover and developer of the SE.

HAtred go soon make some people run naked enter market.

Stingman:
How come they notice this just recently, Mr news reader?

First Buhari said work could not continue because the senators move money for the airport upgrade. Now this

Only a fool will not see FG determination to ensure SE is the lest develop in Nigeria.

On railway...Amaechi said there was no fund for the SE stretch...But you are too blind to see these things...

OBJ from the SW built the first standard gauge railway between Warri and Ajaokuta (SS - NC). You did not complain of him marginalising.

GEJ (from SS) built the standard gauge rail from Abuja to Kaduna (NC - NW). You did not complain of him marginalising, rather you hailed him as a demi-god.

Now Buhari (from NW) is building a standard gauge rail from Lagos to Ibadan (SW - SW). But here you are, blaming him of trying to underdevelop the SE. What exactly is wrong with some people?

NaijaRoyalty:
To APC BMC , rochas performed .

To sensible Imolites rochas failed woefully .

Douglas road is now very dirty like Lagos .

Let me give you a little assignment; mention a time in the last 30 years when Douglas road hasn't been dirty?...

Whether you like it or not, hate him or love him, he may be a clown, but you cannot take away the fact that ROchas has been the very best Imo state governor since Mbakwe. How many other south eastern governs measure anywhere close to him in terms of projects?

Odingo1:
The problem with Nigeria is that some region want it all and they never want others to get even one thing and they are very happy about that. GEJ started all those project in SW yet they hate him. SW railway, Ibadan express, Ore are all are PDP project, PDP spread project all over Nigeria and where building all simultaneously, you cant compare it when a project is built only in North West and South West, that is not development. The SW jubilating should remember that the money used in building this is coming from Niger Delta oil money.

PDP spread projects all over Nigeria, APC is also spreading projects all over Nigeria. Enough of all this uninformed idle talk.

By the way GEJ did not start Lagos Ibadan rail. Neither did he start the Lagos ibadan Expressway or the benin Ore road. He didnt start any of those any he didnt finish any of them.

AutoReportNG:
Whats your take?

Read more reasons here

https://www.autoreportng.com/2019/05/these-are-reasons-why-there-are-traffic.html

You missed the most important reason - IRRESPONSIBLE DRIVING!

How can there not be traffic jams everyday when 95% of drivers in Nigeria either have no clue on traffic rules or give no regard to them?

70% of the traffic in lagos is caused by irresponsible driving. Most of the traffic in Lagos is totally avoidable if all humans will behave like humans... The other factors you mentioned make up the remaining 30%

Praizeupdates:
Comic nollywood actor popularly known as Okon Lagos refused to apologize to the public after making a video saying sex workers have no dignity and they deserve to be raped.

Earlier some list of actors and actress have come for the actor for his earlier video and he out again saying he still stands on his ground.

Watch Video Below

Gist From Praizenews ; http://www.praizenews.com/okon-lagos-refused-to-apologize-to-public-after-sex-worker-rape-video-saga/

Okon never said anyone deserves to be raped. Bloggers are just the current scum of the earth. It's even more shocking that even though the video is out there for all to freely watch, Nigerians are not just capable or reasoning outside the opinion of the first person.

DJInfluence:
Someone forcing himself on a person that has no dignity is called what? This guy is what is wrong with society today. Just like we were not prepared to manage the minerals resources back in the day, i also think we are not prepared for social media because we misuse it anyhow.

A young man somewhere that look up to this guy, will take his utterances to mean it is ok to rape.

Go and watch the video and get first hand info from the horse's mouth... WHen you watch the video, come back and tell us if he actually said anything like that. Stop relying on twisted/silly interpretations from bloggers trying to drive traffic to their blog. The video is free.

Alcacer47:
bros, oil dey your head, I have been to Benin republic severally and I can relate, very law abiding people unlike Nigerians. On the other hand, the solution about the meters is there for all to see just like u stated but the discos ain't ready. Liken their case to reaping where u didn't sow.
The discos want to make quick profits but don't want to invest money in buying meters or general expansion of their base for the long term gain hence their preference for estimated bills...I"ll blame Gej for our electricity woes not because he sold the discos but for selling to incompetent hands, wats worth doing is worth doing well. how du expect me to buy one meter for 67k and still pay my bills..the discos especially ibedc and bedc have failed woefully, the only solution is to terminate their contracts and give licenses to serious minded investors with strong policies to put them in check

Terminate the contracts of the current DISCOs and take away their licenses, they will go to court and hold the govt by the balls. The litigation will take another 10 years and any hope of improvement in power supply will be put in a deep freezer for another 10 years.

soggy28:
Don't even know who and what to believe as to why the electricity supply in Nigeria has remained what it is epileptic!
The generation and distribution companies are blaming the transmission company of lacking the capacity to transmit generated power and now the TCN is pushing it back to the discos. Who is telling the truth?
Blame game .

TCN has the least blame here, they can claim to currently have a transmission capacity of over 7000mw. Whenever DISCOs reject load, the TCN is forced to shutdown to prevent an overload. Consequently, the GENCOs are forced to shutdown some turbines too. Also, the GENCOs on another hand suffer from incessant gas shortages which force them too to also shutdown sometimes. Amongst the 3, the TCN takes the least blame as they are just middlemen.

LordAdam16:
Leave the Aboki make he dey reason like cow.

The DISCOs inherited the distribution network from the government. The US uses crossarm poles.

Even the Transmission network managed by the government crumbles at least four times every month. That's unheard of in much of the developed world. Is that managed by the DISCOs too?

Any small thing, DISCOs; as dem don b scapegoat. Always in a hurry to apportion blames to someone else.

Everybody shares the blame. From gas suppliers to NERC. Instead of talking about how to solve each problem from gas vandalism to metering; they'd keep meandering over problems and stating half-truths.

-Lord

Remember, blame is a Nigerian culture! But then again, what the man said is possible. When the DISCOs reject load, and the load becomes too high on the transmission lines, it leads to a shutdown. When the transmission lines shutdown, the GENCOs also have to turn off some of their turbines too. SO at the end, you cant blame him for blaming DISCOs. The DISCOs should share out prepaid meters to everyone or if they refuse to do that, the government should pass a bill to outlaw estimated billing completely. If every customer has prepaid meters, the DISCOs will sit up seriously. Nigeria wouldn't still get uninterrupted power supply at the current 5000-7000mw capacity, but majority of cities will enjoy over 15-18 hours per day.

mikkyword:
The simple truth is that some big time Nigerian politicians are shareholders in companies producing generators that is why we have had an epileptic nature of power supply. Until this is address nigerian power sector will not be improved upon. They know that a stable power supply simply implies that thier investment will suffer. We are suppose to be good people great nation.

It's not just politicians selling generators, that's a past problem. The big problem now is that the power privatisation was executed shabbily. The people who own all the DISCOs around the country are all Nigerian politicians like OBJ, Emeka Offor, IBB etc... These guys are simply there to make money without putting in any commensurate investment effort.

toolovely:
even when they give the prepaid meters, the next thing they will do is to increase the tariff so as to cover up.

vizkiz:
You are smart. The moment we all switch to prepaid, the prices will be inflated and we'd be back to square one.

Of course! increasing the tariff has always been a part of the plan. Before the privatisation, the DISCOs complained that at the current tariffs, they would never break even. The supposedly 'low tariffs' is the backyard reason why the DISCOs have refused to invest in upgrading the distribution infrastructure; it's also the reason they've refused to give out prepaid meters cos they claim they will be short-changed at the current rates (they prefer the estimated billing culture where they get paid for supplying no light).

Finally, the agreement before the privatisation was for the DISCOs to implement the tariff increment in batches; I understand the first batch of tariff hiking was done in 2016 and the next batch is some time this year. So Nigerians need to brace up!

And why does everyone automatically assume he killed himself only because of house rent issue? What kind of simple mindedness is this?

Kyrx:
Sorry to say this, but Okon or whatever is an idiot, when did prostitution turns to a crime in Nigeria, Is Abuja under a sharia law? This bro is supporting a raper and condemning the raped, by the time his daughter get raped he will understand the feeling.

Nonsense celebrity.

tete7000:
Stupidity at its peak. This okon stupid die...

Okon isn't the stupid one here, the stupid one is the blogger who interpreted what he said a 'defending police'.

jmoore:
Where is the defense?

Stupid bloggers!!!

Very stupid bloggers for real. I watched the video myself and struggled to see how he defended police.

Casptainspecial:
It would be better if they approve this port for importation as well. Apapa is over congested for God sake

Gozzzy:
it's sad that it's just an export port, when it can be an import, port... Nigeria imports more than she exports.... so that South Easterners and South Southerners will come back home.

But some people still do import goods from Onne; I don't think there's really any law in place stopping importers from using Onne.

hollah123:
when someone like fashola is heading power, u can't expect less. just imagine a square peg in a round hole it can't work. it's like having a medical doctor as d cjn what do u expect?

Nigeria's power proble is not technical, it is administrative.

Is there another part to this story that no one is telling us?... I know Nigeria is a crazy place but I find it hard to believe someone would just be locked up for nothing and even sent to court. On what charges exactly?

TrashDetective:
The question you should asking is why would a regulatory body like the CBN cover up a bank loss?

We are NOT all daft in this country you know...maybe some but not ALL.

I dont know what the audio is talking about; awaiting further details and counter responses from those accused before making any comments. But the bolded statement you made above just caught my attention.

Exposing even minor losses of a bank can lead to panick withdrawals and an ultimate collapse of even a sound bank. It's not unusual for the CBN to cover up the losses of a bank and even secretely bail it out to prevent total collapse.

kettykin:
I knew vultures would certainly come after this man.

Emefiele should watch his back many are not happy with his reappointment which has shown that Buhari has nothing against igbos

Like Kemi Adeosun, like Onnoghen, and now like Emefiele (impending), when the powers that be want you out, they simply begin to dig for dirt on you.

But guess what?.. No matter how much they hate or want to eliminate you, the vultures can't come close to you if you dont stink like dead meat.

Predstan:
Can you please explain that part that they talked about increasing the naira rate against dollar. The minister of finance said its already high at 354 that if not for that, they would have raised it by 2naira.

Why is Emefiele so concerned about a commercial bank that he broke down saying “I don die, where I go see Money?”

Did you also read the prospect that Nigeria will likely plunge into recession by 2020. Is that not similar to what is being discussed in this audio

Lastly, why are they preventing it from the FEC. They don’t want Buhari and other executives to hear about it.

In conclusion, they diverted some funds into a private investment or Shares so they could make profits and return the 500b back to where it came from, that’s why emefiele was repeating it that arowosegbe keep saying their investment was still worth 500b till the end of last year before they finally realized they have only 20bn left.

There are two parts of the audio. Go to Sahara Reporters facebook page and listen

Jesus!!... God help us in this country.

Why is Emefiele so concerned about a commercial bank that he broke down saying “I don die, where I go see Money?”

Hmmm... listened to the recording but not sure I understand what the duscussion was all about. CBN gov sounds extremely worried over how for what he termed 'shareholder funds' hit a deficit for the first time in history. The guys seem to be playing about with figures to see how they can make up for a deficit. Not clear what the discussion was really all about, so waiting till tomorrow to hear the full gist.

RZArecta2:
RUBBISH

Would be interesting to experiment this rubbish.

kaen1317:
This is true. Amaechi cannot move freely in his hometown or region without security. That alone tells alot about the man

How many politicians and political office holders can move freely anywhere in Nigeria?.... Can the "very well loved" Wike move around his own hometown without his personal security which comprises of policemen, a swarm of cultists and militants?

Bridget95:
supposing GEJ concentrated efforts in developing the SS/SE you guys would have cried to high heavens but records showed that he built more schools ,rail and roads in the north than his region .Look at the kind of wicked style of leadership APC is doing .Don't cry when tables turn.

Forget that teasing comment written by that clown; there is no evidence anywhere to prove that the APC government is biased in executing capital projects around the different zones of the country. There are ongoing capital projects in every zone of the country

Railway projects are capital intensive and regarding the rail modernisation project, all the different administrations since 1999 have done bits. OBJ (SW) started by constructing the Warri to Ajaokuta rail line connecting SS to NC. GEJ (SS) constructed the Abuja to Kaduna rail connecting NC to NW. Now Buhari (NW) is constructing Lagos to Ibadan connecting SW to SW. Today, only the SE and NE are yet to get any standard rails but tomorrow, a new administration would definitely do something. No need for these needless wailings and constant victimisation cries.

It seems these Jonathanians will keep wailing over this Jonathan election loss matter of over 4 years ago till thy kingdom comes!

bounty007:
APC just confirm their boast of having the appeal court in their pockets..

The judiciary is another arm of APC ..just like EFCC..

...not arm of government..but APC..and they're trying harder to make the legislative another APC organization..

But like abacha.... They will plan ..plan ..and execute..but won't real o it..

Nigeria is a million times bigger than APC

I'm guessing you would have called the Appeal court and the judiciary 'Independent' if the judgment went in favour of PDP no be so?

Is it just me? Am I the only one here who sees no biggy in what the pastor did?

We've seen many other pastors do far worse, kissing women in church for miracles, stepping on the heads of people, forcing people to eat grass and drink fuel etc.

This guy simply prayed for a woman to have a husband and then he lay beside her on a chair right in front of the church declaring that her husband would lay beside her in similar manner in a short time. I'm not a fan of these showboy african pastors, but I see absolutely nothing bizarre or news worthy about what just happened in that video.

I bet 90% of the people commenting on this thread only read the title and then proceeded to drop comments in line with other comments on the thread.

Unbelievable...
