They even tax wheelbarrow pushers! So sad.

Orange sellers and those poor who sell corn by the road side are not left out.

vanitybutiwanti:
show me a state in Nigeria where the details of contracts awarded are available to the public? APC supporters from Rivers, get off wike's dicck and neck. Were contracts awarded by previous government in the state available to the public? Contract has been awarded and paid for, what do you plan to acheive with your needless rants? And so what if they are building hotels and malls for him, what are you going to do about it? Everybody is a saint on the internet, if your given an opportunity tomorrow, your own kickbacks will be 200% of the contract sum. Better go and hustle, and stop waiting for the government to spoon feed you. People are still making it despite complaints from unfortunate people that blame politicians for their misfortune.

Shatap mumu. Anybody wet condemn ya god Na apc supporter. Sufferhesd wan kee u yet u still get mouth dey talk. Akpa, go suck ya mummy bress.

Before nko

From where una think say Wike dey see money for forty year old whiskey

I tire my brother... Many people nor know say JB Na the biggest launder of money for Nigeria. They collect cash on behalf of the govs and send the money abroad as remittances to their home office. Meanwhile, the gov dem get access to those cash from the back door. If you come Phc and see any building Berger dey build Na wike get am. That is another way of doing it. They collect the money as part of the co tract sum and go build house, Mall or hotel for the person codedly with the cash.

Thisis2raw:
To honest not all, there are areas that are more valued than 15m, there are some also that is less. Alike the community before my own community, but the path out for the project is an expensive path in Port Harcourt

I understand what you mean my brother. One reason many people think the way I do is because the details of JB contracts in Rivers State is hidden from the public.

gare:
It is wrong to conclude in that manner, they should request for the BOQ and verify the cost of every item involved. Why are these people not critizing under quoted roads since they mean well for Nigerians and what the best.

They should ask for the full contracts, I believe right of ways would be paid for, compensation for people's property would be taken care of, you don't come with the total sum of the contract without seeing the details to criticize them, this is politics.

Those stuff you mentioned are like asking a blind man the colour of your shirt in rivers state.
The details of contracts in rivers state is hidden from the public.

Simeonjoe1:
Walahi that cecc dey surprise me, beating JB to their game. Na only bridge JB fit construct. Quality road is zero.
What happen to indigenous Nigeria construction companies? Can't we compete and construct high quality infrastructure and highway like this guys? We use to have dantata and sowoe I hardly see them nowadays, or may be they've moved to construction of estate and bungalow houses, a complete shame...
A whole country like Nigeria without any reputable construction firm to give us superhighway and skyscrapers, how would we develop like the Chinese?

Your position is valid.

Thisis2raw:
that road passed my community and two of my dads properties, the value of one of those estates as we speak is over 15 million each, go and ask about.
The name of my hometown is Nkpor rumuolumeni, just some 4 mins walk from the navy base

Thanks for this exposition, however, my question is how many properties on the 50km stretch is worth N15m. Don't get me wrong, your point is valid my brother.

Kyase:
So the fault is from JB PH chapter?

Lol...

Kyase:
CECc and Rcc are not on the same level with JB abeg

That na before. BJ is leaving on past glory for phc. Just try Walk on the slabs on the drains then come back to tell me how you feel. BJ na conduit now nor worry my guy. Will you by any standard compare the work BJ did in Uyo with what they are doing in Portharcourt?

Deprofessional:
A. Nigerian police

B. Independent National Electoral Commission

C. Presidency under Buhari and Bola Tinubu

D. Nigeria Immigration Services

E. Federal Inland Revenue Services

F. NNPC

You left out the two most corrupt in your list...

G. Nigerian Custom Service.

H. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

mrvitalis:
I don't know who taught you maths

Bros 1 million dollars is for a double lane what we call 4 lanes on Nigeria

So even if it's double that... It 2 million per km

That's 100 million dollars for 50 ... That's 81 billion based on this morning exchange

Over 110 billiok unaccounted for

Maybe it's the money he agreed to pay wike for making him governor

Payment to wike na steady cash out. His cabinet full with wike boys so no escape for the guy. I think what is happening is they are trying to recover some money for themselves and payment of salaries because wike dry the state with his ill fated presidential parole.

Kyase:
They may pad it but, what I'm trying to tell you is, to construct sweet lasting roads e go cost you

The roads and bridges JB build for Portharcourt na so so maintenance dem dey carry out every now and then. Poor quality roads and drainage. Imagine building an open drainage system with slabs in this age and time. My point is the high cost has nothing to do with quality. If they needed quality they should have allowed competitive bidding. Lately, CECC and RCC build better roads than JB.

Kyase:
Mind you, reconstruction is different from construction and so is the cost

Yes, I agree but not this high na.

Thisis2raw:
from UTc junction to rumuekini to eleme are Bush paths and wetlands?
You need help

Let's assume this is the total stretch, the question is, what is the cost of the properties on the road path? Maybe you nor know how many millions dey inside one billion... I think you are the one that will be needing the help after all.

Kyase:
Yes, I have
I can construct 50km road for you for just 4 billion

Why do you think erosion wants to finish them there

You don't just smoothen and apply asphalt and you think you've done something

And again, the construction itself wont cost that amount
You pay for so many things before the construction begins

What is the property or crop value along the road track? Even if we're to build that road in old GRA he won't pay N20B for compensation. Here we are talking of bush paths and wetlands not built up areas sef.

Kyase:
To construct road inside river in countries like Nigeria go cost pass that amount

That amount is way too high brother.
The same goes for bridges wike built at exorbitant costs.

Kyase:
You should've ask first

Your response says a lot. N4B for 1km, even if na inside river sef. Take it easy bro...

Kyase:
Lol these guys
You don't know how it works, so just keep quiet

Can you explain how it works?

I hope you read the article.

The Network for the Actualisation of Social Growth and Viable Development (NEFGAD), says the Rivers state government is spending beyond what is normal on road construction.
In a statement in Abuja on Friday, Akingunola Omoniyi, executive secretary of the group, said the state’s 50.15 km road project is the “most expensive” contract in the history of public procurement in Nigeria and globally”.
Omoniyi, said Siminalayi Fubara, the state governor, had tweeted a video on July 11 where he said the Port Harcourt ring road project was awarded at the cost of N195.3 billion.
Omoniyi added that spending such an amount on road construction shows the state is insensitive to the economic plight of the people.
“The 50.15km Port Harcourt ring road contract awarded at the cost of N195.3b standing at approximately N4b per kilometer shows that the Rivers state government is insensitive to the economic plight of the people and engaging in a show of shame by coming to the public to sign such world’s most flamboyant and luxurious contract,” Omoniyi said.
“The anti-corruption group has observed with dismay that the cost of road construction in Nigeria has been consistently outrageous which now calls for serious concern and scrutiny.
“Going by a World Bank report, the cost of constructing 1km of road is less than half a billion naira anywhere in the world irrespective of topographic differences.
“This figure is the benchmark that should not be surpassed regardless of several factors except with vested interest that usually characterizes public contracts in Nigeria.
“The only thing left out of the contract is for the Rivers state government to apply to the Guinness World Record (GWR) for verification and certification as the world’s most expensive contract.
“This is barbaric, outrageous and questionable and will not go unchallenged.”
He called on relevant anti-corruption agencies to look into the procurement process and all financial details of the contract for possible remedy.
He added that failure to do so would compel the group to engage in advocacy against the uneconomic practice of the state government.

Iseoluwani:
Atlast thank God for this guy


Else racist will come for his head ....


Man city really goofed for not supporting this guy . I can't blame them. Rape is a big issue in this western world

Even at that they were too quick to throw him under the bus. Whatever happens to monitoring the situation from a distance. I hear they stopped his salary before they terminated his contract. The West is a sad shithole when it comes to matters of this nature.

Candidlady:
For sense/IQ you had dvck instead

The picture below was the kinda hairdo ihad last before going to cut my hair..

The man that cuts me cos it is home service we often go on break.. ihate sitting for long hours

One of the reasons Idont opt for crazy hairdo that will make me sit on a chair for over two hours

So yaro it got nothing to do with been broke

I like this style a lot but the problem is some girl will still cover the fine hair with artificial bone straight.

theophorus:
Say whatever you like about James Ibori but go ask Deltans Na the Best Governor for Delta till date be that no be those Yeye Eweta and Ifeanyi.

Very true. Ibori was unlucky to fall out with Jonathan. He remains the best in delta state till this moment.

Hausa cart boys in Portharcourt have removed most of the man hole covers on the road. The danger vandals cause can only be imagined.

Pastor nko... I mean pastor Ize Iyamu?

You wonder how some of them sleep at night.
APC for night PDP for morning.

AntiChristian:
The US of A is a unlike what many claim they are!

They promote war to sell their weaponry!
They tell lie brazenly to deceive the gullible!
Their agents that turns against them becomes terrorist!
They have destroyed many lives and properties in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Kuwait, etc.
They now support inclusivity and Equity (LGBTQ+) which is promoted even in schools, etc.

I watched a video where the President Museveni of Uganda said a committee of about 6 African Presidents were stopped by NATO on their way to Libya to stop the crisis there.

The same Biden that Chimamanda wrote a letter to has his son enmeshed in narcotics, bribery and many other scandals!
His own election sef fit be fraud!

See attached Gun Violence report!

Bless you brother. You have said it all.

otokx:
Noticed same, it appears the petrol burns faster and the stations underdispense.

The under-suspense is a killer in this country. Funny how nobody cares not even the govt.

fineboynl:
I don’t know if its just me.

The way fuel burns now eh is so alarming.

I think it has to do with the grade of fuel. Remember we import PMS from different refineries around the world. The lower the octane level the faster it burns. However, this doesn't mean the fuel is inferior to the one with a higher octane level.

Otti seems ready for busy considering his activities thus far. Too early to appraise but I hope he maintains this momentum. Kudos to the new Abia state.

ObiomaTailor:
Leave story my guy, e good to born EARLY

Anytime you born na that time your apple ripe. My friend had his kids in his forties and he go tell you say watching the kids grow is the best thing after worship and praise. Na when u wake up be your morning my guy.

alpharoyalty:
Give a man money and see his true version

Do not believe everything an alleged rape victim says. If Mendy was acquitted in the other cases what made u feel he won't win this one? If it has not happened to you before you won't understand how evil some women are.
