Bridge

The Commissioned Bridge

thelastPope: Actually, without traffic, Orile to mile 2 is less than 4 minutes drive. There are only about 6 bus stops in between them.

[quote author=thelastPope]That's like from Jibowu to Ketu on Ikorodu Road.Though little but something.

If a Former Governor can be this personally affected with the road expansion going on in Ogun state, why are street traders complaining ?
Exhuming Corpse is almost a taboo in Yorubaland especially for a former state leader.

O B A M A !!!!!!!!!! RE ELECTED!

Delta state needs urgent liberation.It is almost unbelievable that the confused Governor is taking his "retirement benefit" without regard for the lives of Deltans.Asaba and Warri Airport wont be finished before leaving office in 2015.
Over N40Billion was wasted on Asaba Airport .
Over N37Billion is budgeted for the Warri Airstrip.

In a state in need of Health Centers,Schools,and Roads with millions unemployed.

Where are the pictures to buttress your claim?

The Megaschool is a hoax.
Most roads has been abadoned despite being fully paid for.

Kobojunkie: Think about what this means "Fools argue issues while intellects discuss facts" -- where in the [b]facts [/b]in what you have above?

Fact is Security vote is always determined by the Governor.There is no budgetary or constitutional limitation to it.
OGD as Governor of Ogun state recieved N150 Million Security Vote while other Governors in ND still recieve more than N200Million as Security Vote.
State Of Osun's Security Vote can be reduced to accommodate the N16 Million elderly welfare package.

The aim of staff audit is to remove ghost workers thereby reducing the huge wage bill.Thats the fact.
This will give room for the state to expend the saved funds on this O'Elderly scheme.

Budget proposals of states are constantly being amended to accommodated expected and unexpected expenses.
State of Osun's budget can be amended to accommodate this welfare package.

I am certain that you are too intelligent to know all these except when you decide to be mischievous.

What most folks missed on this topic is the word "Most vulnerable"
Not all elders will be accommodated but the most vulnerable of them.Meaning those who have next to nothing.

Sustainability:

N16 Million welfare bill is definitely sustainable.E.g The Governor's security vote can be reduced to accommodate the amount.
The ongoing auditing of the state's workforce will definitely reduce the actual figure of the wagebill which will make it easier
to accommodate the N16 Million welfare bill.


This is a laudable project that will alleviate the suffering of the old and vulnerable.Aregbesola must have thought it through before
embarking on such a welfare package.

This article has more to do with River state and very little tomdo with Awolowo.
Ndigbo did not lose any property in Lagos.
The ethno-tribalkillings in the North is not ochestrated by the Yorubas.
Ndigbos richest class made their millions in Yorubaland
So whats the beef about?

myola: My brother, we just need to support our leadets with prayer, leadership is not an easy task most of the people abusing GEJ on nl has never lead just one single person before, give them local government as a trial, they will do worst than those they were criticizing. How do expect to transform Nigeria overnight ? When we did not get to where we are overnight, even our men of god that promise miracles knows is not possible, I believe it's unfair to conderm GEJ for ineffective after just two year especially when some people are making good of their promise/threat of making this country "ungovernable" for him.

Food for thought for reasonable people

Nobody is unfairly criticising GEJ.
Nigeria under GEJ is like a moving ship without direction.
Power is still a problem and he seems unconcerned about it.
Boko haram is slaughtering innocent people in the North but our President took a 142-man delegation to a useless conference in Brazil.
Lives are being lost daily on FG terrible roads but ur dear president keeps hiding under litigations to save his head.

Dollarman101: See critics. "Fg is doing this, Fg is doing that" if you have your way, you will go and bomb the place so that nothing will commence. But the truth is that the reforms are maturing and there's nothing haters can do about it. If you had paid attention to the president's speech on Sunday without watching with malice, you would hve known that this project is coming. It is simple reasoning. He said his govt is working seriously to improve on power and has Increased the tariffs to attract the oil companies to invest in gas for the power stations. Stop hating. Embrace transformation.

GEJ was a former VP for hw many years?
TRANSFORMATION?

By the time transformation starts,this generation will be in retirement age!!!
A complete functinal refinery was built in my city within 20 mOnths.
Its taking Jona a decade to reharse madness,when will he enter market?

Mandelaguy: You people just quote things from ur subconscious,what do you know about the greenfield refineries? Have you made any findings or are you just talking? Atleast wrk has started in the one at Abia to the best of my knowledge. What do you know about East-w est road? Have you made your findings on 2nd Niger bridge? Can you authoritatively say that the work that stopped on it before GEJ came has not commenced? Get your facts right before opening your mandibles.

Unlike you, i read and consult wide before commenting.
East-West Road is being seriously threatened because of paucity of funds(Just like most projects in Nigeria).
The same project started during the OBJ administration and was supposed to link Calabar to Lagos.
Contractos handling the project have openly complained to FG on lack of funding.

Greenfield Refineries was good on paper.
The one planned for Lagos is still on panning stage despite LASG's efforts.
EIA,Cost analyses and funding was done by Fashola with lagos funds still the FG is footdragging on the take-off.

MMIA has been approved for upgrade since God knws when but till today,nothing happened!!!!
Funds were allocated and looted.

We have heard all these rhetorics before.
FG to do this,FG to do that.
Our hopes will be raised and dashed by the same FG.
There is a revolving door of projects in GEJ's administration.
Funds will be allocated,looted and the citizenry will be more distraught like never before.
What happened to the Greenfield Refineries,East-West Roads,2nd Niger Bridge,etc?


Your guess is as good as mine!!!!!

Rochas is obviously suffering from "Assumed Office Dementia".

GEJ had lots of goodwill in preparation for the 2011 elections.
Today,the man na wowo!!!!!!!!!!

odumchi: This is a clear example of the drawbacks of the Igbo 'capitalist' mentality and the 'advantages' of northern 'socialist' mentality. Some Igbo politicians work only for their own personal gain and expect others to claw their way up whereas the northern politician feeds his people and works for them.

A good student of history will know that it has been like that since 1959.

Thats the reason Chief Awolowo lost the 1959 and subsequent elections!!! Zik surprisingly supported the less-educated Northerners over AG after being promised the post of President.Powerless President for that matter. A clear case of personal gain over regional emancipation.

ola_pluto: You must think people in South west are drunken fishermen.

Lord Have Mercy.

ACN won Osun state 100% in the last election.It is the only state in SW where PDP and Jonathan is wholly rejected.
Thats a clear signal that PDP is not welcomed in the state.
Aregbesola met N18 Billion bank debt and many contractor debts which almost choked the incomng administration.
The Ogbeni Governor started re-organising the finances of the state.
As it stands today,Regional Mkt is being built in Dagbolu,International MKT is built in Oshogbo,
Inter-state roads are being built across the state, Model schools are being built to re-place "poultry"-like
structures of the Oyinlola years.Osun indigenes are enjoying a prudent and purposeful administration.

Oshiomole will be overwhelmingly returned in Edo state.
He has done more in 3 years than PDP achieved in 11.


Oyo and Ekiti states will never return to PDP.
Ajimobi is constructing bridges which GEJ refused to fix after the disastrous flood.
Most important is the serene atmosphere which the affairs of the state is being run compared to the
violent,thuggery and aggressive tempo of the Akala years.

Fayemi is being over-prudent on Ekiti resources because of the huge debt he met.
PDP is completely absent in the state because of Fayemi#s purposeful leadership.
he is implementing his education devt program,building schools,roads etc to improve the lives of the people.

pistol: Who is rodney king?

I have never heard of him..
What did he do in california 20 years ago?

I guess whatever he did then kept him in bachelorhood till death.

Chei,this fiancee don wait tire o.

Rip sha....

OlBoy.. Na wa oooo

Rodney King was the racially-abused driver in the 90s.The Police Officers were caught on tape and subsequently charged.

Oteh made some gravious mistakes that is unexpected from someone with harvard degree.
She was asked some questions during the probe but she just blabbed through it with no meaningful response.
She talked too much about her Harvard degree and blazing career in NYSE.Even when she wasnt asked about it.
She was incoherent,inarticulate and unconvincing.

Okonjo-Iweala did a better job defending the disastrous Petrol subsidy removal @ the town hall meeting
than Oteh did during the House probe.

Most 1st class graduates from UNN,UNILAG,OAU or ABU will be outstanding in Harvard but it takes great patience,perseverance,
and humility to make a difference in Nigeria's eco-political hemisphere.

Mr. Globe:
Any i/diot who is still doubting Reno Omokri beaf is Billyonaire, here is another proof. Beaf is online but is not listed here. Only Billyonaire is listed. The reason? He logged out as beaf to sign in again as Billyonaire. They cant be online together unless he tries to adjust that after this post. What a dullard and fraudster.

@ Beaf
Can you defend youself?
Licking GEJ's butt might be ok for you
BUT
Not when he just finished defecating..Thats unhealthy.

allycat: Monday is just 2 days away, and I tell you that by this time on Monday there will still be no clinics running, no theaters operating, and the emergency rooms will still not be fulnctional in Lagos State hospitals the reason being that legally the doctors are not employees of Lagos state as we speak. I have a sack letter in my file, without a letter stating otherwise I remain sacked.
On Monday some doctors will go to the hospital to find out what is going on, me I will remain in my house, shebi they used couriers to bring sack letters to doctors houses let them send the same with the rescindment letters. Doctors may not be learned fellows like our governor but neither are we illiterate casual laborers that you sack today and recall tomorrow. As I have said the effects of this sack on the health sector are going to linger for a long time. Tinubu coming on air and making the right propaganda Josie has not sorted out anything.

You sound more like a casua worker than a life-saver.
I hope you stay SACKED!!!

NDLEA slipped seriously on the Baba Suwe's case.
This interview by the NDLEA official might give Baba Suwe to sue for defamation of character.

ondo_boi: anthony obi is the former governor of osun state...if you ask me, i'll say he's a good man

God Almighty!!!!!

I watched her first probe and this one.
It is obvious that the woman is very arrogant,secretive and cant answer straight questions.
She obviously lead the Exchange like a dictator without carrying her Commissioners along.
Her 1st class in UNN,degree from harvard and decades of experience in NYSE took a big chunk out of her Human Relationship.
She is a failure in Nigeria.She can return to New York.
We are even tired of our Yankee trained technocrats.Chimaroke mbadinuju,Bankole,Aganga,etc all remind me of perpetual failures.

sholatech: I don't see how Sanusi Supporters want to exnonerate him from this. Who said Abdulmuttalab recommended and got Sanusi the CBN Job? U must be joking. He could only have supported it but the circles all know it was Saraki and he even boasted about it then. And it is also a coincidence that it was Saraki's manager that Sanusi appointed to oversee Intercontinental Bank after Erastus' sack? It will interest you to know that up till that time, Kwara State FAAC account was with same Intercontinental Bank

Erastus cried Blue Murder when his bank was aggressively taken over by Sanusi.
Saraki's hand is written all over it.

chino11: Thugs running the ACN [b]yorooba [/b]party.

get a life !
It is Yoruba and ACN is a progresive National Party

PeterKbaba: The PDP vultures are so desperate in moving into the south west region at all means, they have seen how the ACN govt as succeeded in united all the yorubas, igbos and even the hausas as 1.... Have you not noticed that it is only in the South West that every Nigerian citizen is one and your right is respected... You can take a yoruba man to court as an igbo or hausa and win... You can work any were you like based on merits... The development in SW state is getting better than how it was over 30 years ago.... the progress and unity that is moving under the ACN is so past it as moved into EDo.... Can you all see... the more ACN progress, the more PDP loses their states.... This is why ACN will continue to be a threat to PDP.

Please let's politically analyze this carefully without being tribal about it: We all know Jonathan is planning to contest in 2015 (Good for him), but what are he's chances to win.

We all know that because of BOKO HARAM issues, all Nigerians are desperate to see a true leader emerge as the new President in 2015, so its going to be difficult for the PDP to rig as usual.

We all know that ACN as won the South Western states of Nigeria through their development... Lagos is leading the country to what Nigeria should be.

We all know that Jonathan can not win the Nothern States of Nigeria ( reasons best known to all of us )

We all know that the SE & SS are not united under a party... They are not even united under the PDP too.

We all know that the PDP party is fast loosing its foo's in Nigeria and IF THEY LOOSE THE 2015 ELECTION TO ACN, ALL THE CORRUPTION CABALS WILL BE LOCKED UP ASAP.

Why can't Nigerians realize that we need to change our ways, we are too tribal, that is what the PDP is using in Fighting against us... They make us tribal vampires and claim they are our leaders (PDP)... Nigerians cant you see that PDP as been running this country since 1960 and still no change.

I remember about 15 years ago, the way lagos was before ACN came in, lagos was the most dirtiest state in the whole country, I remember all the streets in Lagos was a refuse dump.. All everyone does was to come out of your house and dump your morning dirt on the street or drive to any express road and dump it there.... Now when ACN got in, OBJ refused to give LAGOS its monthly allocation for years... You know why, so the start will not develop, and people will continue to be poor, dirty and act like animals... The PDP believes this is the only way to destroy us all and we will only see anything PDP as the best.

But now see what ACN is doing.. We all know that Lagos is not there yet, but Lagos be like small London now. All igbo, yoruba, hausa's home and abroad work freely in Lagos... Do you think the PDP government likes this Politically.

The huge difference btw the PDP party and ACN party is: PDP puts Politics first, then Tribal second.... Whereas ACN puts Development first and Merits second. Even when tinubu did not want Fashola to contest the second time, the people of the State, both the igbos, yorubas, and hausas protested they wanted Fashola.... Is that not what Nigerians should do at all times. Unite for the best candidate based on merits and not tribe.

Even the Western World ( Europeans ) will not interfere with our politics, you know why, they are very happy with the PDP government, the Western world don't want us to develop and this is what PDP gov are doing in Nigeria with the power of corruption.

The PDP government steals all our money (eg Ibori), starch it up abroad, in europian banks... this money in billions of $$$ are used to develop other people's country... their banks gives our stolen money to their own citizens as soft loans and develop their country, manufacture new products like generators lol and still sell them to the Nigerian government.

The Developed world speak from both side of their mouth... they talk about Nigerias corruption and they know we all in nigeria are suffering... WHY CAN'T THEY PUT DOWN A POLICY IN THEIR BANKS NOT TO ALLOW STOLEN MONEY FROM AFRICA....

Pls don't get me wrong ooO.. I'm not saying ACN is perfect, but far better than PDP. If Nigeria develops, clean up corruption, invest in education, have young manufacturers and scientist, we start manufacturing and using our resources to manufacture our own product, the british , dollars and euro currency will fall to the naira... Which means the cost of our raw materials that the West buy from us will increase and do you think the West wants this..... Look at the World Bank situation. The Nigerian candidate is the best, but we all know that its not possible ( Welcome to International interest and politics).

We are modern slaves to the West, we claim we are not, but we are... and the pdp is working as their tools. they west comes, they dont care about what the pdp government are doing to us... they take all our resources to their country, manufacture and sell it back to us 5 times the price.... Are this people our friends... Even the developed Muslim countries are the same. If we Nigerians get it right, we will manufacture our own products, they all know that we will not import most of their products into a free market of 160 million nigerians.. that means more more money for our manufacturers, more employment and nigeria will grow.. This will continue to lead to loss of jobs in other countries.

We need to realize that for a country to be rich, respected and known in the world.. Nigeria most unit, develop, and export...

NIGERIA NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT WE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, IF WE GET IT RIGHT! THE OYINBO RACISM WILL END. ALL THE BLACKS ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL UNITE UNDER NIGERIA. NIGERIA IS THE ONLY ONLY VOICE LEFT FOR THE BLACK RACE IN THE WORLD ARENA...

Back to our trend here.... If PDP claims they are in the interest of the people.... How come the minority muslims or christians in Osun are not complaining.

NIGERIANS WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE SIMPLE LOGIC IN NIGERIA.... PDP IS BOKO HAHAM... BOKO HARAM IS PDP... BOKO HARAM IS PDP OF THE NORTH.... CANT YOU PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE... ARE WE ALL BLIND... BOKO HARAM IS FIGHTING THAT JONATHAN SHOULDNT HAVE BEING THE PRESIDENT ( THAT THE PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROM PEOPLE LIKE BABANGIDA, ATIKU FROM THE NORTH ).... WHY DO YOU THINK A MAN LIKE BABANGIDA HIMSELF WILL STEP DOWN FOR HIS POLITICAL SON ATIKU.... EVEN WHEN PDP WANTED TO PUT JONATHAN AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE )... ATIKU, WHO IS BABANGIDA'S POLITICAL SON AND MOUTH PEACE SAID ''those who made peaceful change impossible,make VIOLENT change inevitable''.....JONATHAN IS FIGHTING THE PDP NOT WITH THE NIGERIAN FORCE..... CAN YOU SEE IT IS ALL PDP CORRUPTION AND GREED... PDP ARE TOO DESPERATE FOR POWER.....

PDP PLEASSSSEEEEEEEEE DONT USE YOUR NORMAL POLITICAL STRATEGY TO DESTROY AND CAUSE CONFUSION AMONG THE FUTURE OF ONE UNITED NIGERIANS GROWING IN THE SOUTH WESTERN STATE OF NIGERIA, BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISH POLITICAL INTEREST.... THEIR STRATEGY MY LEAD TO THE DIVISION OF NIGERIA...

LAGOS IS WHAT NIGERIA AS LEFT AS A COUNTRY ( I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT EVEN RICHNESS OR RESOURCES, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE LOVE AND UNITY AMONG NIGERIAN TRIBES )..

MY LORD, I REST MY CASE.

May Almighty God bless you and your family.
I already explained in my earlier post that Aregbe is being persecuted for political reasons.
Every state has a right to display its flag,coats of arms etc.Afterall we run a Federal system(at least on paper)

rooftech: Cross river has an anthem,a flag blue and white , a crest and they sing their anthem before nigeria anthem.

Osun state is being persecuted for political reasons.It is not unexpected,gej was 100% rejected in the state.

bonna4u: When he starts growing some balls[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]. Huh?

It is ok to grow balls BUT chewing away on your balls is dangerous.
Except ofcourse you are not planning to rise a family.
