Even if na Bunmi Tunji Ojo dey retire like this, they must find a way to Chant Ole!!!
Is he not? Remember The "off your mic" incidence, he was one of the contracts beneficiaries, then the recent one with humanitarian ministry, his company was involved too. Just because he appears to be doing some work for which he is paid his due wages, that shouldn't excuse him from the corruption he is culpable of.

6 spanners down! May the brave souls of the departed rest in perfect peace.

That's why I tell people that the risk associated with offshore E & P outweighs the pay. I begged to be moved back to the Lagos office after years of offshore work. The transportation and operational risks are too much. If chopper doesn't crash, the well may blow out..too much risk mehn but it's a rare privilege to have the experience still.

Please change the headline. You don't discover Oil Well. You discover an Oil Field by drilling a successful exploratory well. Thanks

I had my NYSC in Opobo town 20 years ago. LG Chairmen in ONLGA never stay in Opobo. They stay in PH and only come in when payments are about to be made. Now that there's a road network to Opobo, maybe things have changed.

We thought Buharis was the most clueless. Tinubu is the new king of cluelessness. I have lost count of the number of decisions he has rescinded. Not fit to be a Leader!

I was in Nigeria last week and what I experienced was crazy. He's entitled to make his own decisions but from the vantage position where I am, Nigeria is currently not working. I will NEVER advise anyone to japada completely at this point. I will recommend a phased re-relocation, if you must.
Politics › Re: 72 Illegal Refineries Uncovered In One Week – NNPC by okito: 4:56pm On Aug 29, 2024
It is an insult to the sensitivity of oil and gas professionals in Nigeria when NNPC says it uncovered illegal refineries. They were never hidden. They were always in plain sight. I can't count the number of illegal refineries I see when I fly from NAF Base, PH or Warri Airport to offshore locations in various Niger Delta states, especially Bayelsa. It is mind-blowing! so, please stop this Nonsense!!! You have the information, you just do selective uncovering!
Politics › Re: Tension As Armed Men Kill Lagos Monarch’s Son by okito: 1:58pm On Aug 27, 2024
Firstly, Demola was not the first son of the King. Hon Jide Akinloye is the eldest. He was the 3rd son. Motive for the killing is yet to be ascertained but there is a suspicion that the royal family was the target and Demola was unfortunate to be the one they could access. Demola was the immediate younger brother of my best friend. I knew him very well. This is so sad and I hope people writing would be sensitive with their comments as the family goes through this grief. May his sweet soul rest in peace.
Properties › Re: How Much Can Erect This Kind Of Building In Nigeria Today? (Photo) by okito: 9:06pm On Aug 22, 2024
Bro,

I bulit 40ft x 40 ft in Lekki from May 2023 to Mar 2024. Building alone I spent over 80M so I imagine how much it will cost to build now. When i started, cement was 4k per bag and was around 12k by early this year. Iron also went up from 450k per ton to 1M per ton. I did pile foundation amd that alone was between 15 - 18M, at the time. It is well with Naija.
tommy589:
The house in pic length× breadth is like 70 by 25 feet at most
Each floor won't be more than 3 tonnes of iron
Let's say one tonne for all pillars and lintel
500 bags of cement for German floor,two floors,lintel and pillars. All these are in excess. 30 million will get the carcass plus the roofing.

Cost of finishing depends on taste

[uote author=MadamVanessa post=131643077] shocked


I will love to know the total number of rooms in it and see the interior designs too.
However, 50 or at most 55 million should give you something like this. I spent similar amount to erect something like this in my village for my beloved parents.[/quote]55M for what? Do you know that 1ton of iron is 1M? The exterior is good so I imagine matching interiors. 100M

Sports › Re: FG Apologises Over Bad Outing At The Paris 2024 Olympics by okito: 5:31pm On Aug 11, 2024
As terrible as Abacha was, we won the Nations Cup (94) and Olympic Gold in Soccer and Long Jump Female (96) during his administration. We would have won the 96 Nations Cup as well if he had allowed us to participate cos we were simply the best in Africa at the time, too hot to handle.
This Tinubu; I don't understand oooo. Even Tobi who seemed a sure medal hopeful didn't even make it to the final. It is well...
Politics › Re: Lagos Indigenes Write Gov, Demand Details Of Dangote’s $100M Land Purchased by okito: 6:55pm On Aug 04, 2024
If APC ever loses Lagos to another party, the pandoras box that will be unearthed will lead to members of Tinubu's family and their cohorts fleeing the land because they will literally be stoned on the streets!
Politics › Re: Soyinka: I Intend To Keep Quiet About Tinubu's Administration For Now by okito: 12:42pm On Jul 23, 2024
I am trying to rationalize this. Prof Soyinka has direct access to Tinubu. He must have expressed his thoughts directly to him in person and may just decide that as long as he's able to speak to him directly, there's no need to go public with his criticism. Moreover, they have been friends from the days of NADECO and he is finding it hard to chastise him in public due to their long standing friendship. WS is human afterall. However I think despite all that, he should comment generally about the state of the nation and also let the people know that he has detailed his criticism directly to the President. Keeping quiet till now is capable of eroding the credibility he has built over 7 decades.

Hate him or like him, he has an uncommon grace upon his life. He is the most respected African alive and his government has been the best since 1999 going by all indices. He is not a Saint but he is just a Special One.

We can't be fooled. Is that your take home salary? You slashed basic salary which is usually a small fraction of take home salary.

Nonsense!. Nigerian Youths are only following the footsteps of the elders led by the President, a renowned local and international corrupt man. So, if you can do your job as EFCC chair and prosecute them all and they miraculously turn new leaves, perhaps the youths will follow suit.

I want to agree with you but if Dapo could have been so stupid as to claiming he got a university degree that he never got until he was found out, then I can't put any other stupid act past him.

So, you are tired of him so soon? after shouting awalokun on your manhood we stand or do I look like agbadorian urchins to you?
I never supported him. Infact I almost gave up on Nigeria when I watched the APC congress and the only man who seemed to be best prepared for the job, came a distant 3rd.

Akpabio, we agree we won't recognize Nigeria if we allow him to do 8 years and we don't want to find out what that will be so we ll let him go after 4 years. Thanks for the heads up.

They can only murmur. There's ABSOLUTELY nothing they can do about it. You see, oyinbos may not like us but they always bow to superior talents, and right now the blacks are the best they've got.
