Rossikk: Let them move to Ghana. When they charge them there or their profits reduce due to low patronage, they can then move to Liberia, Sierra Leone or Togo. Worthless idio.ts.

I'm afraid I'm with the airlines on this one. what's with the numerous charges? I thought we should be doing more to attract more airlines as it will translate to more jobs in the sector and healthy competition, not drive them away with additional charges. Pls, NCAA shpuld reconsider this one.

ogb5: Fashola is the best !

I wish all those useless politicians can emulate our hardworking, resourseful and progressive Fashola.

Is it easy to generate 47.35MW of electricity? You people should praise our dear Fashola.

Lets put what he has done in simple mathematics so that the enemies of progress can see in clear terms what achievement we are talking about here.

These plants when completed in 1 year's time will generate a whole 47.35MW of Electricity
Lagos needs 10, 000 MW what of Electricity as at today.

47.32/10,000 *100% = 0.4735% of the requirement of Lagos. So these power plant will provide about 0.5% of the power requirement of lagos. Not a bad achievement by any measure, we only have 99.5% more to go.

Another good achievement is the speed at which the projects will be completed. Just one year.

If it takes only one year to complete 47.35MW project, at this rate, lets calculate how long it will take to complete projects that will generate the required 10,000 MW. Well that will be

10,000/47.35*1= 211 years

So in Two Hundred and Eleven yrs (211) only we would have been able to generate 10,000MW. Fashola is truely a wonderful legend.

Please tell all your governors to emulate Fashola, we will solve our power problems in only 211 yrs

Yeye dey smell

Let's see......Fashola generates/promises to generate a meagre 10-50MW, and you folks sing his praise. Yet GEJ doubles the power generated across the nation (plus some), and all he gets for a job well done are insults and stupid critisms borne out of sheer hatred.....huh....ain't that strange..

Impressive.

fitzmayowa: If only other governor can take this kind of initiative...Naija for don improve wella

Fashola is working...Lagos is progressing


Eko oni baje ooo

Yeah, let's forget that Rivers and Akwa Ibom states already commisioned much larger capacity gas power stations years ago, not the glorified diesel generators installed in Lagos. But hey, Fashola's the "gloroius pioneer". Up Fash.

homesteady: Menh! You just confirmed your f00lishness!
Obama is in New York for the UN general assembly! And he is currently lodging in the Waldorf hotel!
Its has become a tradition for USA presidents to lodge in that hotel! And it costs $7000 per night

So do you expect him and GEJ to start travelling to Washington D.C when they can just meet in New York?
Besides, who told you that GEJ hasn't been to the white house?

Bros, I'm honestly tired of the airheads here on nairaland. With their level of reasoning, its no wonder the unemployment rate's high.

payless: American Presidents only meet with world's respected leaders at the Whitehouse. It is disrespectful to meet a Nigerian President at Waldorf Hotel for few minutes.

Let's get this straight....there is an ongoing UN General Assembly were most Heads of States have convened (US President inclusive), yet you expect the POTUS to fly ALL THE WAY BACK TO WASHINGTON DC to meet with "respectable" leaders at the whitehouse?...........dude, isnt that STUPIDITY of the highest order?

[quote author=africa-down]go do research, their was no attacks on kenya, all the attacks started when kenya invaded the somali mainland[/quote]Are you freaking kidding me?!! There were no bombings, or kidnapping of tourists by you fools?!! Moderators, pls kick this useless clown outta here before I descend on his skinny khat-chewing a#$

Leemak: From Abati's comments I believe the revellation from Sahararrepoters is true.....GEJ must have done this in order to have many people present whenever he delivers speech at UN General sesseion, recall what happened last time he delivered speech at UN General session.

Oh my........guy, do you actually believe the reason you just gave?! Good lord....what has happened to nairaland?

naptu2: The Kenyan Military is in Somalia as part of the African Union force (AMISOM) to help the Somali Government fight against Al-shabaab and other militants. Nigeria also promised to contribute troops to the force, but has not yet fulfilled that promise.

We already deployed Formed Police Units (FPUs- MOPOL) there to help train Somali cops, and equally help in maintaining law and order. Besides the Ugandans, Kenyans, and troops from Burundi have done a great job there achieving what the Americans and Ethiopians couldnt.

[quote author=Beaf!]@ No.2
SaharaReporters are not 'just any one' they dig out dirts when GEJ and his lying dogs (Abaati, et al) least expects. SaharaReporters have eyes inside Aso Rock and so many other places. [/quote]Dude, believe me, those SR clowns have been known to spin a lot doodoo. Seriously, it's not funny anymore.

You guys need to ease up on the GEJ insults. What's wrong with the presidency's statement? Did the presidency mention anything about helping out via troops/equipment supply? You folks do know that we can equally help via shared intelligence between our intelligence services (NIA SSS DIA) and theirs, right? Afterall, both countries have gained a considerable amount of experience and intelligence fighting islamic terror groups. GEJ is on point.

My dear state. May God bless her.

Horus: [img]http://zurukenya.files./2013/09/sns-photos-nairobi-mall-shooting-20130921-031.jpg?w=670[/img]

Even a member of the GSU Recce has been it. Good Lord....

1forall: So it's a lie just because it's a large number? I sincerely hope that's not how you reason?


What's 'closely guarded and secretive' about a hotel booking, you think they're at Transcorp?

When are we Nigerians going to wake up?

1) OF COURSE IT'S AN OUTRAGEOUSLY LARGE NUMBER!!! It makes absolutely no sense at all.

2) You think it's that easy to view the President itenieary? You think one can just walk up to any hotel and simply demand for it? You must either too naive or must have watched too many Jason Bourne/James Bond movies. Which hotel mgt in its right senses will make public detailed info on a visiting head of state residing with them when such action puts the life of the Head of state at risk?


Truly, common sense (and simple logical reasoning) ain't common anymore.

Ess: Haha, Abati has confirmed it...see foolishness.
We all know when Govt gives a figure, just add another zero to have actual figure.
Hence 30 = 300
few essential aides = 300
Total = 600.
SR has done it again...exposing the wicked and clueless Govt!
Kudos to you!

And you wonder why you failed your WAEC exams repeatedly. No, it's not because of some old lady in your village chasing you.

Lie No 1: The amount given (600) is almost the same amount of personnel in a govt parastal!! Hell, thats a full blown army battalion!


Lie No 2: SR got to "see" the president's iteniary.......really? Do these SR fools expect us to believe that a prestigious hotel in New York will release closely guarded and secretive details about a VISITING HEAD OF STATE to better media houses, talkless of those clowns at SR?


Anyway, 'can't say I'm suprised there. it's sahara reporters.

Sagamite: See this foooooooooooooooooooool!

How is he going to shoot if two terrorist just show up?

Later we would wonder why we see so much body bags of African security officials.

That "fool" is risking his freaking life trying to save innocent civilians, something MOST of us, you inclusive. So rather than insult that cop and his mates from the back of your computer screen in the comfort of your own home, why not give them the respect they deserve? And it won't kill you to offer constructive critisms not ones laced with insults.

Sagamite: See my post above yours and see the SWAT training when you are clearing a place room by room.

Then tell me how can a police officer respond and shoot from the Kenyan police stance before a bullet hits him.

Sure, why dont the Kenyans point their firearms forward.....towards hostages trying to flee the whole scene in the first place? I'm pretty sure you wouldve said something different if they were all in tacti-cool gears. Please keep in mind tht the Kenyans have a well trained & proffessional security force.

Sagamite: All these pictures I am seeing of Kenyan security forces is just a pure shame on Africa.

- You hear unknown men are sporadically killing people and the security forces sent people with mufti and no identification badge carrying guns to go and save them? How will the people know the difference between murderers and security forces guys?

- Many of the security guys are so ill-trained they seem to always have their guns facing downs instead of "pointed and ready". A bullet travels faster than your reaction. If a terrorist comes round the corner, you are dead before you can react.

- This quack goons are telling people (including kids) to run to come and meet them in safety, instead of taking their guns, in a set "pointed and ready" position, to meet and escort these people from their spot of temporary safety to full safety.

Africa is run by fucktards!

Care to explain what's wrong with their combat stance? 'cos what I see are lots of cops and soldiers placing their lives on the line rescueing trapped tourists. Please give these men the respect they deserve.


Oh by the way, its a mix of both soldiers, police officers, and GSU Recces (men in tactical gears and M-4 carbines) down there.

A Kenyan woman is helped to safety after masked gunmen stormed an upmarket mall and sprayed gunfire on shoppers and staff

Good Lord!!!! The FN-SCAR!!! Sweeeeeeeeeet!

in my opinion, i'll say the fuel itself is the problem, especially with the amount of crudely refined blackmarket diesel (AGO) products dumped in the market and currently in circulation. One must be very careful.

tyson99: Confused president!

Care to back up that statement of yours?

Symphony007: very good. Why has'nt the CIA poisoned and killed edward snowden? But russia kills their whistleblowers and still has the guts to preach human rights to the u.s!! Quite amusing!

Different countries have different ways of dealing with traitors. For the Americans, it's a life-sentence without parole. For the Russians, like most countries, the penalty is death. Then again, the west has equally had its hand soaked red in a number of wet-works (assassination s)

Symphony007: what happened to alexandar litveneko?

Simple. An ex-kgb agent turned traitor got eliminated via polonium-rich tea/coffee by the Russian SVD. Case closed.

DailyNews: My brother, there is nothing like America is protecting their interest. Yes, agreed America had in the past made some mistakes, who hasn't But we can't deny that America is and still remains the saviour of the world.

Did you watch World War 1 documentary and how nations used chemical and nuclear weapons to destroy innocent citizens This was the reason the world powers reached an agreement at Geneva convention I think to protect the world from the use of nuclear/chemical weapon after seeing the deadly and disheartening effect.

And America was the leader of those to protect the use of such weapon...and now such weapon has been used in Syria...so why can't the whole world agree to go to Syria and stop the brutal killings going on there?

Do you know that America love Asaad? President Asaad's wife is widely loved by the western nations...America on a normal ground, if they are to fight with sentiment, would never dare attack Asaad or support his removal...but because of the brutal killings, America don't just care who is removed but to protect the lives of the innocent Syrian citizens but Russia and China keep blocking this move due to their wicked intentions.

Let's call a spade a spade pls...Russia is always supporting evil, and they need to be condemned globally and cautioned.

Ladies and gentlemen, the quoted posted is a clear example of presented "facts" drawn from watching TOO MANY Hollywood action movies. Bros, I suggest you read up on America's foreign policy and you'll be suprised at the actions of your "saviours".

lucky Don: Well done Senator Mcain.This is a heavy blow to Putin who thinks he can blackmail Americans just to garner sympathy.he is a pure hypocrite.

Heavy blow to who? Putin?....LOL!!! Riiiiiiiiiiiight

Dipville: what useless local and int'l study are you talking of,so @ your age you don't know all dose shown studies are lies....when will you people grow and mind i don't give a damn about either amaechi /any1.....please for God's sake,try be reasonable and realistic for once....shuu

Son, when you are done throwing your immature tantrums and posting garbage, feel free to jump off the nearest cliff. Now go prepare for your WAEC, adults are chatting here. Useless buffoon.

I've always been quiet on Ameachi's case 'cos though I'm a staunch GEJ supporter, I must admit that Amaechi has performed remarkably well. But right now I think he has lost it completely, and has dug his political grave once and for all. Isn't it so stupid to call for the nation's foremost minister's resignation and claim that the nation's economy is in the crapper (even though local and international studies show otherwise) just because he's yet to receive the balance of his state's allocation?

kokoA: we are tired of this excuse of jonathan not the creator of Nigeria's problems. He has been incharge for six years now, show me the steps he has taken so far to correct what he met on ground. A president who wines and dines with the likes of obj, babangida, alamaighseia, bode george, anenih, etc, people who you can put in the caterogy of "creators of nigeria's problems". Is he any different from these characters? You said Amaechi and his gang are creating problems for GEJ? Can you tell us how please? What has Amaechi got to do with Federal government's inability to reconstruct the east-west road, bring development to the nigerdelta, make life comfortable for the masses, etc? And did I hear you say bokoharam has been reduced to almost nothing?.. Lol.. You really are funny, I
guess you have not been reading the dailies lately. Lastly, can you guys just stop this nonsense of labelling any northern politician who doesn't support GEJ "bokoharam sponsor". This is really becoming stale. Nigeria has issues, Mr. President should fix them and stop lamenting like a bad workman who always blame his working tools and not his competence. Ameachi may not be the right person to say what he said, but the fact remains that what he said is the truth in black and white!

Dude, are you blind? Who is responsible for the progress witnessed in our power sector, the repairs of our once delapidated transport infrastructure (FG roads, airports, rail network), the agricultural revolution (increase in rice and cocoa production, elimination of the fertilizer cartel, etc), the tackling of the fuel-subsidy fraud, and the continous growth of the nation's economy by 6% or so, making it a choice destination for foreign investments and placing Nigeria on the road to eclipse South Africa as the continent's largest economy? That's right, it's GEJ, not OBJ who spent 8years promoting corruption, or Yaradua who sadly died before he could achive anything tangible, or even our ex-northern rulers who practically ran this great nation of ours to the friggin ground. It was all GEJ!

............nigger chicken...

ocelot2006: I'm afraid I find your claim about the the AH-64 Apache laughable. Yes it's a hi-tech bird with way more sensors and computers, and the Longbow version can equally serve as a scout helo just like the smaller Kiowa. BUT i'll rather have the more rugged Mi-24/35 Hind provide backup than the Apache for a number of reasons:


1) the apache is a maintenance-intensive bird that spends way more time on the ground than in the air. Doubt that? Read up on its performance in the Arid Afghanjstan and Iraq. It was so bad that the much older USMC's AH-1 Cobras/Supercobras were ranked higher the apache. The Hind (aka Satan's chariot) on yhe other was built with ruggedity in mind, and has proven itself in same Afghanistan, Sierre Leone, and even Nigeria during the ND insurgency (PHC 2007). That helo was built to take a beaten and dish it out to the enemy. It's no wonder tge Muhjadeen feared this beast so much.


2) Unlike the Apache, the Hind can equally serve as a utility helicopter, something NO OTHER attack helo can boast off. Apart from its primary attack role, it can equally be used to insert 7 heavily armed troops into battle, thanks to its rear cabin that btw is equipped with 2 more machine. And when its not in use, it can be used to....wait for it.....carry WAY MORE munitions. That means that while the Apache has to hop back to the nearest forward operating base (FOB) to refuel and rearm, the Hind remains on station to rain down the wrath of God on the poor souls in its target.

Oh. Did I also mention that the Mi-24/35 Hind is:

1) faster than the AH-64 Apache

2) more quiet than the Apache

bloggernaija: More like Operational incompetence and presidential failure.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE NOT SEEING ANY PROGRESS.THE PLAN ITSELF IS FLAWED
with the trillions of naira voted for security,why not a night raid with night vision goggles with helicopter gunship support .
Just One apache AH64 can control that battlefield by providing cover for the advancing troop from more than 10 miles and destroying everything that moves.
Guess what ,it cost less $25 million dollars
Why won't the soldiers be slaughtered like ileya ram.
Do you need to conduct an air raid before advancing on the terrorist ?
IS the element of surprise not the key to winning this kind if war?
More like BBM' ing to alert the terrorist before advancing with armourless and useless pick-up truck.
All this after devoting over a trillion naira annually to security for the past 3 years.

When nigeria is ready to fight this kind of asymmetric warfare with proper weapons ,equipment and strategy
WAKE ME UP
RIP soldiers
U deserve a better commander in chief.

Apache AH64 ( not crappy chinaware)dealing with terrorists who did not even know they were being watched.
