Your MWatts gave been deposited in sheepopotamus cayman account. Now imagine the going from lagos to ibadan in 15 min.
Imagine what it will do for the 2 cities.



The THSR 700T operates on the high-speed line between Taipei and Kaohsiung in Taiwan. The train entered into service with Taiwan High Speed Rail in January 2007.
It operates at a speed of 300kmph reducing the journey time between the two cities from four hours to just 90 minutes.
It was constructed by Kawasaki, Hitachi and Nippon Sharyo. Based on Kawasaki's 700 series Shinkansen trains, the 700T was the first Taiwanese rolling stock to import Japanese high speed rail technology.
The total investment for manufacturing the initial 30 trains in the series reached about NT$100bn ($3.4bn).

Grand theft country

Corrupt is not applicable.
Asari is a village idiottt, the likes of which are disregarded.
Men like him hijacked the struggle of Saron Wiwa and co.
On all those so called oil barons,I am waiting for the president who would sieze all those oil blocs and facilities and vest in the federal government. Was that not the reason NNPC was created? Do exactly the same thing putin did in Russia,
Let them all go and build biscuit factories.

Do not put Budget,Jonathan and Iweala in the same sentence.
They simply write something on paper and present it.

A Diagnosis Of Why Mrs. Jonathan Does The Outrageous Things She Does By Ozodi Osuji
Posted: July 12, 2013 - 09:02


Nigeria First Lady, Dame Patience Faka Jonathan
By Ozodi Osuji
What is truly amazing is Africans refusal to try gaining insights into their behaviors. They do not want to know why they do the silly things they do and keep doing them to other people’s astonishment. They keep behaving as mad persons do and if you call their attention to their madness suddenly you are said to hate yourself.

As they see it, if you like yourself you must sing praises of Africans and their insane ways of life and pretend that they are sane. Here is the deal.

What it means to be a human being is to feel small, inadequate and inferior. Human beings are those animals that have the awareness of their imminent death hence existential nothingness.

Nobody likes to feel like he is nothing; therefore, all human beings struggle to seem adequate, superior and powerful.

When the pursuit of superiority and power is exaggerated we say that such persons are neurotic; when people actually believe that they are superior to other people we call them psychotic (deluded).

If you bear this simple psychological fact of what it means to be a human being in mind you can then understand the behavior of African big men and women.

Patience Jonathan feels like sh*t, literally. She believes that she is sh*t, not figuratively but literally. This fact is in her consciousness. Feeling like sh*t she would like to pretend that she is not sh*t. How does she do it?

She does it by grasping onto the paraphernalia of prestige that makes her seem to have worth. By rolling around in presidential limousines and jet fleets and having the entire city closed down when she comes to town, to a party, mind you, not to produce anything for both her and her husband are consumers, not producers; they do nothing in office and are thus garbage, literally, well, by closing the city streets down as she cruises by, her infantile histrionic ego seem very important person in her mind.

Now in her immediate conscious mind she seems a very important woman. She is now like god; she fancies that she is immortal and not going to die.

In the meantime, she eats like a pig and grows fat by the day; thus, sooner or later, she would experience cardiac arrest or stroke and die. She would decay and smell like refuse.

She would be buried and worms feast on her bloated body. Put truthfully, she is currently food being prepared for worms, bacteria, virus and fungi.

If you are into science, here is the scientific fact for you to chew on: our bodies are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen (CHON) and traces of phosphor, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, copper, calcium, sodium etc. When we die those elements, atoms decay to their constituent parts: electrons, protons and neutrons. Sub-atomic particles in time decay to quarks and photons.

Ultimately, all matter decays to nothingness, the nothingness from when it came during the big bang that produced this universe 13.7 billion years ago.

We came from nothing and return to nothing; or as the writer of Ecclesiastic in the Christian bible says: our lives are vanity upon vanity (somewhere in the bible it is said that we came from clay and return to clay, from sand and return to sand).

In effect, Patience Jonathan is nothing, as all human beings are nothing. This is the truth that we all know; a truth hidden in our deep unconscious minds; a truth that gives all of us existential depression.

We all have existential depression from the awareness of our existential nothingness and the fact that we live meaningless, purposeless lives.

We are like slaves, we work like slaves to earn food for our bodies and then those bodies die and decay. What a beautiful life! Life is pain and then you die. Life is a bummer!

Some people try to escape from their existential depression by behaving as if they have fictional worth. Nigerians adopt this pattern of behavior. In all my life I am yet to see a humble Nigerian; they are all billionaires, chiefs or sons of governors and presidents even though they are starving and come to the West to drive cabs and take care of old white folks (as assisted care workers, glorified name for nannies for old people).

The religious type seek worth and importance in religion. Religion offers them life after their bodies have been eaten by germs and that kind of makes them believe that they transcend death hence have existential worth.

Hindus and Buddhists, that is, Asians, the most mature human beings on planet earth (and, interestingly, also, the most intelligent since they score highest on IQ tests and scholastic aptitude tests and do best at universities) behave realistically: humbly, not pretending to have worth they do not have.

Africans, like five year old children (they are literally dumb since they score lowest on IQ test, scholastic aptitude tests and at schools) deny the existential reality of death and the nothingness it gives us by decorating their useless egos with fancy titles and decorating their bodies with superfluous flowing robes (agbada is not conducive to working in factories or laboratories; to industrialize the Japanese and Chinese gave up their elaborate attire and now dress in business suits that are conducive to working in offices and being productive workers).

What this bag of rice called Patience Jonathan does other Africans do; they are human beings and, as such, are aware of their existential nothingness but instead of trying to ask: is there anything we can do to be something important, Africans like mentally slow folks think that by giving themselves empty titles and social prestige that they are now something important.

An Igbo proverb says that you can wash the human anus with all the soap in this world and it would still smell of feces. People are existentially nothing important and nothing they do would make them something important.

Adults all over the world know that they are existentially nothing. They try to give themselves a sense of worth by figuring out what they are good at (what they have aptitude in doing), train for it and throw their lives to doing it, twenty-four-seven.

Existential philosophy says that the only way a human being can make his meaningless, purposeless and pointless existence seem important is to figure out what he has aptitude in and do it twenty four seven.

As long as a person is trying to understand a part of reality (through science) and is doing it and producing what serves all human beings well he obtains realistic sense of worth.

Parading around as if one is important, as Nigerians do, does not make one important!

Instead of Africans trying to obtain realistic sense of worth via engaging in productive work that serves public good they seek it in an infantile manner, as Lady Jonathan and her foolish husband does.

Africans like all of human beings, myself included, are nothing for they are food being cooked for worms, bacteria and fungi; give or take a hundred years their bodies would feed germs (and return to the biological cycle; we eat animals and plants to live and when we die they feed on our bodies to live).

Let us hope that at some point Africans would grow up and deal with our existential nothingness with adult wisdom, not their present childish attempts to deny reality by pretending to be important when deep down they are garbage. The rest of the world sees them as garbage despite their pretended importance (can you imagine any one asking for and listening to Jonathan on what to do about the world economy; do you listen to a nincompoop on serious matters?).

If Africans want to be seen as important they had better start contributing to science, technology, business and good governance. As long as they contribute nothing to existence and merely pretend to be important they are no more important than the worms that would eat their bodies.

Patience Jonathan closing the streets of Lagos and Port Harcourt when she comes to party with her fellow do-nothing ladies of Nigeria is not important; what would make her important is if she dedicates her current useless life to serving Nigerians, say, by making sure that the poor shoeless children of her Ijaw neck of the woods wear shoes so that jiggers and other parasites don’t feed on their toes and shorten their lives

Drainage to stop an ocean?

Trying to absolve Jonathan abi?
I won't dignify you with a response.

Nigerian army : A dysfunctional organisation since independence

My goodness

Haha.
A lot of people are going to get fired.

Justcash:
I said so because Lagos state is not as close to being an ethnic enclave as most other Nigerian states. The ethnic homogeneity has evaporated from Lagos state hence making it a true depiction of what a United Nigeria should be. If the aim for keeping Nigeria United is to foster integration, then Lagos need to be used as an example for other states to follow. If you love Nigeria and you want to see her succeed, you will know that this is very important.I don't see the connection between integration and ethnic domination. That Igbos are striving to take part in the governance of Lagos state will not distort the historical antecedents of Lagos state. It will only open up Nigeria for integration.

I just think we need to choose between integration and disintegration. One of the reasons why Nigeria is not experiencing progress is the confusion brought about by our version of unity. It is more likely me a disintegrated integration.

Tunde bakare's grandfather was fulani but he is as yoruba as any omoluabi because his family has integrated.
Forget it, it ain't gonna happen and believe me when I say so.

Justcash:
Ewwww, you sound so pained and frustrated. Tone down your insults, you can really make your point without using abusive words.

Are you suggesting that the aim of IGBOS to partake in the governance of Lagos state is wrong? Why? Are Igbos not Nigerians? How do you know that you will not be given an opportunity to partake in politics in South Eastern states? Have you tried?

I think we should be clear about what we want as Nigerians. A United Nigeria means that NIGERIANS must be free to live and partake in the Nigerian project from any state they choose. Lagos state, by virtue of history, happens to be a good example of Nigerianness. If it is only Yorubas that must lead in Lagos state, which is not befitting for a cosmopolitan NIGERIAN city, then we must start to question what being a Nigerian means?

You need to cool down. You sound hypertensive.

Nigeria at this point means Niger delta oil, of which your own elites are in cahoot with those from other regions slicing and dicing it.
Many of us would rather the owner of the oil and those who covet that oil and resources of others, take their oil and go.

Justcash:
What I don't understand is how people like you want One Nigeria, but is so scared of practicing One Nigeria. What then was the civil war fought for?

I can see that your mates are quick to like your comment. You guys should be sure of what you want. If you want Lagos for yoyrselves, why did you waste men and resources trying to stop the emergence of Biafra? Hummmm?

Who wants one Nigeria? That one Nigeria mentality belongs to Obasanjo's generation. I will never delude myself as to the workability of a country called Nigeria.
That is why it is not working.
Hausa do not want Jonathan
Yorubas do not want Jonathan
Igbo want Jonathan

Yorubas did not want Obasanjo
Igbo wanted Obasanjo
Hausa wanted Obasanjo

A union of advanced countries (European union)with high levels of literacy, technology and wealth cannot make their union work. Not to talk of a union of disparate tribes,who are barely out of the prehistoric age and without affinity for one another.

Justcash:
Lagos is ripe for advanced political reasoning and multi-ethnic governance. Lagos state is miles ahead of other states in Nigeria. Many Nigerians from other ethnic groups are more Lagosian than their original ethnic group. The state should lead the way in showing other states the beauty of multi-ethnic governance in Nigeria.

All these ethno-religious considerations impede the unity and progress of Nigeria. The minds of the new generation is corrupted by such considerations.

If we are indeed NIGERIANS, we should be seen as being Nigerian first before being Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, Urhobo, Tiv etc. Lagos, as a cosmopolitan city, must lead the way.

Go and practice that in your own state.
Yorubaland will never be used for "one Nigeria" experiment.

Haha.
The handshake has surely reach the elbow
Those who are still doubting the reasons why they have to vote, need to read this.
time is coming soon when everybody would start voting in their region.
Since You do your census in your state of origin, you vote in your state of origin.
As that egbe omo odua fella said in the 50's when azikwe started his intransigent behaviour, in the western region.

The hausa (gambari),we knew
The Ijaws ( ijo) we knew
The nupe,we knew
The urbobo( isobo), we knew
The isoko, we knew
The ebirra, we knew
The igalla, we knew
The igbo,We did not.
For those who do not know what azikwe did, imagine that man came to lagos, saw how beautiful, developed, commercial and progressive lagos was as it had been for over 100 years prior.he went to the briitish to pressure them not to include lagos as part of the western region.
Alas,he had seen free land to colonise.

Seriously speaking, our politics, social values are incompatible.
Do these people know that they are indirectly declaring war?
Are people so rudderless as to lack any form of reasonable leadership?
Those who are reasonable had better advised these JJC villagers who are power tripping.

Hear this and read my lips
igbo will never be recognised anywhere in yorubaland.
Either integrate and forget where you come from, or ship out.
Just imagine.
There are yorubas in kano,
There are yorubas in Port Harcourt
There yorubas in akwa ibom
There millions of yorubas or people of yoruba descent in
Ivory Coast, Togo,Ghana etc.
They go about their businesses lawfully and have integrated in such a way that you would not even know that they were yorubas. Same goes for the binis and other groups.
In short, they blend in and do not constitute a nuisance.
Those who do not want to learn the language should buy a newspaper.
Integrate like others have in the past or get out.
This is the same thing you are told, whether in America, UK, Canada etc.

I hope he will provide jobs and opportunities as well.

Haha.
Identity politics sure works over there.
If I were to be reborn as a corrupt leader, I will like to come as igbo.
No pressure, no opposition.
They have it easy.

Get another wife.

How much is missing then?

$50 billion?

From historical precedence, these are the same akintola types who were dealt with by the people,and we all know what happened the last time they tried their nonsense. They seem to be underestimating the anger in the land.

Doofus

The results are there for all to see.

No one is buying their BS

Collynzo22:
Tell us exactly what Obasanjo did to get the Telecoms industry working.

1He got peopke who knew what they were doing together( Raphael ndukwe and co). No abati, Okupe, no SAMBO, Jerry gana, Edwin Clarke,Nzeribe and the other constant deadbeat/sycophant you find along the corridors of power.

2He withdrew all the licences granted to crooks and nobodies by abacha ( 225 licenses ). Same thing is going to happen to power licenses and everything privatised by this absolutely corrupt and odious government soon.

3He enticed real businessmen and real telecommunications companies with investible fund to Nigeria

4 Bids were submitted,opened and licenses were granted live on TV.

Simple.

guzomaken:
@oduastates: No one is spilling the beans about "who the best is." The man is only trying to let us face our reality and confront our challenges as a nation. We should stop asking like the disciples of the Jesus who demanded "greatest in the kingdom?" They were of course surprised at the answer Jesus gave them. The same answer is what is given to you today. Let us face the reality and confront our challenges as a nation and stop making irrelevant statements.

Nope he isn't. He is no do different from members of Turai's Kitchen cabinet,the so called cabal who tied Jonathan under Turai's wrapper.
Different scenarios, same behaviour.
They are afraid of the potential loss of power because frankly, opposition politics is not their thing. Just power and the money that comes with it.
By the way, nobody heard from him during this period because he stands for nothing.
Where was he when amaechi started complaining about the mismanagement of the federation account, excess crude account etc. And the likely damage those stuffs were likely to cause down the line.

Blah, blah,blah, blah, blah
My goodness .
Greed and selfishness will always lead a man to his doom. This man is the so called best from the anambra. The knowledge that their mafia clan is about to collapse is sending all the parasites benefitting from the scam into panic mode.
The fact that their feudalistic behaviours are tolerated over there in the East does not mean it will be tolerated elsewhere.
15,000 graduates out of how many?
Obasanjo got over 20 times that number working in the telecommunications industry alone, it was still not good enough.he was not making noises about it either.
Obi,your feeding frenzy is about to end.
He is dreaming of becoming a president at a time when the only person who will probably smell of that seat are
Pat utomi.
Ekwesili.
Those two are selfless and living their lives for other.
This one is a common crook.
By the way, where is the Niger bridge?

davitogreat:
Not once has Buhari laid out the steps on how he will fix the nation. I am waiting to hear his thoughts on resource control and federalism. I am waiting to hear about how he will reduce our recurrent expenditure. I am waiting to hear on how he will further improve our agricultural sector. What are his thoughts on the auto policy? What are his thoughts on the local content policy in oil and gas? What are his thoughts on the PIB Bill. What are his thoughts on the Ecowas EU EPA agreement.

He keeps going around in circles blaming everyone instead of plain out laying out his thoughts and blueprint.

The solution is the opposite of the problem.your dumbo would not be able to identify a problem if it were staring at him in the bedroom.

On top of the issues.
Nice journey down memory lane. Only those who lived through it can explain it better . Shagari and ekweme were borrowing money to buy geisha and sardine. Not much different from dumbo borrowing money to buy private jets and cooking stoves.
Bad news for the thieves.
Your dummy or puppet -on -string is on his way out.
I am sure Dumbo does know the difference between a deficit and a debt.
Iweala and co are probably bomboozling him with elementary business school speak.
How I wished Tunde Idiagbon were alive. EFFC. Would have been a nice place to have him.
