It's very expensive too. The amount of land the real track will take because of the plane's wingspan... And having to constantly cut off and trim all the vegetation around the real track... ....

What if the cable snaps? Where will the giant page land safely if there is no nearby airport?

Or what if some of the rail tracks get rusty or decomposed in the foundation..... And the flying train pulls out the rail track out of the ground from the weak link..

Then security implications of putting thousands of people in one flying plane... If the plane crashes, accidents do happen.... Thousands of people would die just like that.

Some countries like Nigeria are still struggling with locomotive trains... They want to introduce this one

Bullet trains may also be faster than it

What is happening to me, everyday I keep loosing it.. My head can't hold a thought for real, its not short term memory but over filled mind. Keep doing one mistake to another. Every home I have lived since I was 11, they have complained about this and am 26 now. My head is always full thinking, fantasying on one thing or the other. The only time I do have a calm mind is after waking up from a nap. I can't interact with people because my head is either in one thing or the other. The only thing I have advantage is when the matter at hand is about what am thinking presently.


I don't know what to term what is happening to me, But am gradually loosing it. Lived in about ten homes and now with my aunt and his husband is looking at me as if I am stubborn and he keep threatening if a little thing happens. I am scared of myself right now, don't even know what error I have done the last minute and only few people understand my condition. I am addicted to thoughts.

My childhood fantasy lifestyle has gotten a larger part of my brain and since then I became scared of myself,always looking for who to guard and direct me. I don't do girlfriends, I don't smoke, I don't drink, am not that dull as a person but can't have a calm mind.

Have been religious for a long time and the solution is not coming forth. The next thing on my mind is stay away from people especially people I know (family members) and know whether if in-dependency can make me forget or atleast put my attention away from this rar condition.


I don't know what is happening to me, I am loosing it gradually.

Pls I will entertain any solution...Am pissed off now of myself.

I'm like you. ... Always thinking and fantasizing.

Every time i close my eyes to sleep, i dream

Compare this one too borno siteshoe shine kits...

Seems earth tremor or earthquake happened there.

A road can't just suddenly crack like that

you actually have a point but ur last point not totally valid cos same exchange rate is what over states use yet they still show some workings.

I agree ppl in this state invest in other state yes that's true but its a state that gives u conducive environment for investment that u invest in.

Take for instance, I saw a post from alibaba where he said he wanted to fix a bad spot of a road in warri and the area guys said he should pay first. Just imagine that mentally.
This is what the government turned em into buy using them for dirty election jobs and abounding them there after.

There is a tiny street just opposite the osubi airport here in warri. They awarded the construction of that very little street of about one and half kilometers and wrote on a very big sign board ( OKOWA IS WORKING) yet these are little contracts local government should be handling.

No creative thinking at all

The bolded problem did not start with Okowa and is not his fault. Blame Warri people.

The other Time, during GEJ time, they wanted to build a gas city in Warri... Rather than within together to actualise the project, ijaw, urhobo and itsekiri people started bickering and fighting over the projects site name... The was how the project wasted...

Is it the fault of the government that people in a community won't allow projects be cited in the land without bickering and quarrelling? Somebody is begging to do projects in a community, the community people are fighting and extorting the construction company and they stop work... Why are you blaming the government?

That's why i said under development is not the fault of the Delta State Govt.... Delta people, they don't have ambition, simple. What they are going to eat and drink, that's all they care for

RedDistrict:
me sef surprise when he said okowa is fixing alot of rural places but if true, then am glad cos from what i knw, he fixed roads in those delta north areas like agbor, ukwuani areas and then locked up, light there also is very very poor which he acknowledged.

delta should be doing better to be honest

Why are you complaining? It's turn by turn nah

When Ibori and Uduaghan were busy concentrating all the mega projects in Warri and Delta south/central areas we didn't complain nah.

Well, please forgive my ethnic or sectional sarcasm.. The truth is, it was the cities that used to get the bulk of government projects under the previous administrations , neglecting the rural areas. If Okowa wants to build 1,000 village roads, i don't have any problem with it. Those people have been neglected for a long time, let them enjoy for once.

Depending on how you see it, 500m road project per community multiplied by 20 communities , ... Is better that one 10bn mega project in the city. The cities have been enjoying the projects before, let the villages enjoy their own

drtwist:
I have scan through the whole page and I found out you are the only one supporting Okowa wish show you might be benefiting from him

Not really.

1. I used to live at okpanam before. You know the road from house of assembly up winners church in okpanam was very bad during Uduaghan time... Uduaghan totally ignored those areas. Buy go there now, the drive is smooth, though work is still ongoing.

2. Kwale-ogume-obiaruku road was complete mess and unmotorable during Uduaghan time, it's now very smooth without a single pot hole.

3. Abbi - Ezionum road has been bad since i was a kid. They said it was babangida that built the road... A journey that ought to take 15 minutes, you send 1 hour... Today, the road is smooth.

4. The first internal road in my community was build by Okowa. Many people have lived and died without seeing tarred road in the village. Though it doesn't mean anything really, but to the old people in the village, it means a lot to them.

If these mean I'm benefiting from Okowa, well, hmmm

dear no local government will hold down salary if the state government have released it. Okowa is owing salary of teachers and local government workers

What you're talking about are community teachers. It's the local governments that recruit community teachers from various villages to meet bridge gap in Teachers shortfall. It's the local governments that pay those teachers, not the state government.

What a local government gets is determined at the federal level, not state level.

Below is for your perusal

Aide to Delta State Governor On Special Duties (Media), Mr Ossai Ovie Success has put an end to claims that the state government led by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa was to be blamed for councils’ indebtedness to it’s workers.



According to the Governor’s Aide “For long now, the general public have been fed with false information regarding the payment of Council salaries.

“Let the truth be told, the state government is not owing Council Salaries. It is very unfortunate that some persons are not telling the truth rather going about deceiving the general public. In a society like ours, only the truth can set a man free.

“Local Government Staff are not supposed to be paid by the state government, the state government since Gov. Okowa assumed office as the Executive Governor has been assisting the local government councils in the state regarding the payment of the council workers.

“Recently I was at the meeting between the State Governor and the State Chapter of the Trade Union Congress where Gov. Okowa passionately explained the true situation to them.

According to Gov. Okowa “When the allocation coming to local government councils was moved from 10percent to a little over 20.6percent, the primary school teachers moved to the local government councils and the state allocation which was over 30percent was then reduced to 20percent; the state never stopped assisting when there is money to offer an assistance to the councils.

From the above statement by Gov Okowa, it is clear that the state government from the little allocation have been assisting the Councils in making sure that salaries are been paid.

In 2015, Governor Okowa released a grant of N3.26bn from the bailout funds to the Councils to pay part of the salaries of teachers and Local government employees.

“The fact that the council workers are been owed salaries does not mean the State government should be held responsible .

According to Gov Okowa recently “Salaries owed local government workers is attributed to their unique salary structure, large number of staff and reduction in the allocation coming to local government councils.

“It is only in Delta State that some local government councils have the same salary structure with the state and federal government.

“Staff of the third tier of government are suffering in the state as a result of salary arrears and apart from the salary structure, some local government councils have more than 700 persons as their staff strength.

guy, what u said here is total trash. Did I hear u say rural areas?? Llz, pls I would love to know some of the rural areas pls.

U av not been to warri for long? Okay that settles it. I av been to major cities in delta for the past 3months and guy, I dey shame sometimes to see the state of things for delta. Okowa is doing absolutely nothing than fetch thugs to fight his reelection.

The problem is not really the State Government of Governor.... It's the "mentality" of the state that's the problem. Delta people are not ambitious, that's the truth. The only thing that most Delta common people want is what they'll dear today, drink tomorrow and eat next tomorrow, finish.

Another problem is brain drain. Deltans who have the money are not investing in Delta, they'll build small thing here and go Lagos to build big properties. Senator Nwaoboshi bought N850m house in Lagos, can he spend that amount in Delta?

It's only in Delta you'll see a whole Street without modern building but people from that street have big fine houses in Lagos and Abuja.

My village gets full with lots of building project activities during festive periods, but after that, everybody this back to Lagos, Abuja, porthacourt... A once bubbling town turns to empty town.

Another issue is the country's currency is just worthless. All those billions your hearing can't even construct proper drainage in some swampy areas. If you have 25bn, after paying salaries with 15bn, 10bn can't really do much mega projects as you expect. If naira were, say N150 - $1 ... Fine, otherwise, with the present inflation rates, naira is just rubbish.

Remove play Okowa is the worst person to assume the sit of governor in Nigeria. Imagine a state with such kind of allocation and revenue still owing 7 month salary of teachers. The worst part is that losing second tenor will be very difficult because he has hijack the whole thug structure in delta state with no opposition.

Okowa is not owing teachers is the local governments that are owing
