The beginning of failure. Again, they have started the exact same thing. The word Northern Muslim Candidate is anathema in the Southern and middle belt Nigeria!! One of the reasons Jonathan won the last elections with ease was the entitlement mentality that the northerners displayed! Which southerner or middle beltan is going to vote Northern Muslim Candidates who have totally refused to condenm Boko Haram, tell their subjugates that Boko Haram is a US/FG/Christian attempt at frustrating Islam and at the same time ask the FG to grant this same Boko Haram amnesty. Yes we are scared of Nothern Muslim Candidates. What we want is Nigerian candidates! People who can transcend cultures and tribes! We dont care what state he is from, we just want him to be Nigerian. Ribadu is a Nigerian. Dangote is a Nigerian. Marwa is a Nigerian. Buhari on the other hand is a Northern Muslim Candidate. We will refuse him for the forth time since he is trying to prove to us that he is insane by living up the phrase: Doing the same thing with the same method and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity! |
I remember back in the days when if you want to make or receive a call, you would go to NITEL office and wait in line for hrs. After the long wait, the call you went to make or receive would not connect. When I left Nigeria, anytime I wanted to call home, somebody would have to go to Shell Office to go and wait for my call. And that was a serious privilege because you didn't have to wait on any line. But alas the system was privatized and we now all have mobile phones and Internet at ridiculously cheap prices The FG has just done for the power sector the same thing that was done for the telecoms sector. Don't despair, light is coming!! |
Reptyle: The above still does not change the fact that the LASG had conceptualized and began to execute a city wide CCTV coverage project before the advent of the federal government's intervention. It also does not change the fact that while the state government successfully installed and is operating some of the said cameras, the FG project is fast devolving into another moribund project for which the country is worse off for as it represents an increase in her external debt profile.You guys are becoming sooooo pathetic. You said the FG under Jonathan is not performing so you were insulting him. Now his projects are materializing and we can see that he is performing, you are now saying he should stop performing!! This has to be a new form of insanity. Why are you angry with the FG who has supplied 1000 cctvs in Lagos in an on going project and yet you are satisfied with LASG who promised to supply 10,000 CCTVs in 2011 but supplied only 100. Fashola bought Helicopters to improve security in the Lagos but these helicopters ended up with an oil company in Port Harcourt. ACN tribalists think its alright. [url]http://saharareporters.com/news-page/scam-lagos-state-helicopters-purchased-crime-fighting-are-converted-private-commercial-use [/url] Fashola bought a boat for 8 Billion Naira claiming they wanted to use as a Hotel. The yacht is rotting away at the Marina. ACN tribalists think that is alright. https://vml1.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Sunburn.jpg?cb5e28 But the FG installs security cameras in Lagos that would improve your security, you are here making noise! I am a big Fan of Fashola and his works at putting in place systems that would make Lagos work both now and long time into the future. What I dont get though is the huge tribal bias ACN followers display when good works come from outside of the ACN region!! |
omonnakoda: guy why not try and be objective.It is NOT CLEAR who is going to pay the loan. I do not know and you certainly do not because we are not provided that information anywhere. The whole idea started with GEJ. That is VERY FUNNY indeed. The damn thing is a scam whoever started it LASG or the FG. although I believe LASG initiated a different scheme which I believe was also a white elephant project and a way of stealing money about 3 years agoYou would almost think the guy making the bolded comment works at the Presidency in Abuja considering how he is 100% sure that we do not have the staff or plan to train them! To think that he lives in the UK. The stupidity displayed by many Nigerians just stinks!! How do you know there are no trained staff or no plan to train them?? So before any recruitment or training commences, the Government will go to your house in the UK to inform you first before you will agree abi? The UK embassy should screen people first before giving them visas!! You should be deported to East Timor for displaying so much unintelligence confidently! |
bloggernaija: Waste of money for a government that is absolutely clueless .while there are more pressing issues like healthcare,pipe borne water ,agriculture etc. this government is busy wasting money on unviable airports.Crass unintelligence!! So because we dont have pipe borne water, all other forms of development should cease?? So until we raise the healthcare standards completely we shouldn't touch infrastructure? Absolute nonsense. Maybe you didn't realize that there is a reason there are different ministries covering different sectors. Maybe you didn't realise that the Aviation Ministry isn't suppose to fix healthcare or pipeborne water. I dont understand what you mean when you say Benin airport is not commercially viable. Have you ever been there? Do you have any figures to buttress your claim that the airport is not commercially viable?? Nonsense!! An airport that had over 400,000 passengers last year and generated ticket sales of over 10 billion Naira and grew by 8% is not viable?? You mentioned 5 cities that you feel have a viable middle class and hence deserve airports. That has simply given you away as someone that is depending on his 1980 secondary school text book to understand the topography of current day Nigeria. FYI Benin Airport is the 5th most viable airport in the country after Lagos, Abuja, PHC and Warri. The Ibadan Airport you mentioned had less than forty thousand passengers compared to Benin's over 400,000 passengers. I think you are not a viable person and should not be listened to. Nigeria would make progress whether you like it or not. Her are statistics on passenger numbers for Nigeria airports. You can see the viable and unviable. http://www.faannigeria.org/statistics.html |
Eko Ile: look at this over bloated hypocritical agbaya saying he appreciates good when he sees it. the only good you appreciate are the mediocre rubbish that tickles your tribal fancy, you appreciate nothing that doesn't roll with your tribalistic existence.. you just opened your mouth to cluelessly rubbished other people with better performance than all the lackluster cassava bread dufus you are peddling ...... Pele. Thought you were sane. I don't usually engage dolts in debates. I'll be praying for your quick recovery ok?I can see there's an improvement. Prayers answered! But I didnt know english was that hard. The way you write makes it look like you attended the same school with our mummy, Dame Patience Jonathan!! Your english needs serious improvement man! |
Pataki: People like you make laugh. Security has improved? Why not move you and your family to Borno? So easy for you pathetic lot to keep preaching profanities and fanciful stupidity all in the name of marketing the retardeen to Nigeria and Nigerians.Just one question for you my friend Pataki. Have the bombings reduced considerably compared to 2012?? JUST ANSWER YES OR NO? |
Afam4evaIsASlut: Dude, seriously, youre really extolling this ware-house-turned-airport as an achievement of a Federal govt?Are you seriously serious?? I use the airport regularly and it was an eyesore. Now at least it has a good degree of comfort and some finesse. I am suppose to frown??Like seriously, I'm not a sadist. I appreciate good when I see it. Plus, the hope factor is critical. This airport is seriously improved. The nature of my job sees me welcoming business/investment type foreigners into Nigeria and boy, was it seriously painstaking whenever you meet them up at the airport and they ask you why the place is this horrible. These are people that have read that Nigeria is an excellent investment opportunity. You Start stammering immediately. Jonathan is eliminating that embarrassment and I am so glad about that!! |
Pataki: Last year, our doofus president told us Boko Haram would be no more by the end of June 2012. Fast forward to our present day in 2013>>>>>>>>>>> Today is not the first time, this foolish drunkard would be foolishly interpreted as talking tough.Pretty obvious you are one of them folks that love it when you watch CNN and hear there was a bomb blast. There's been only one blast this year and I know you aren't happy at the improved security scenario. You desperately want Boko Haram to continue bombing till 2015. But sorry, they've been spent out and thier numbers have dwindled. There are no more bombs and the security situation has improved. For many families that lived in fear, that is good news. For many GEJ haters, that is bad news. |
Eko Ile: ^^^^^^. dude, save your low and cheap mentality rubbish for your kind.Pele. Thought you were sane. I don't usually engage dolts in debates. I'll be praying for your quick recovery ok? |
Eko Ile: is remodeling some worthless and still worthless airports with poor and outdated facilities the new grand achievement after the world famous cassava bread grand achievement.?One major project above 10 Billion Naira that Fashola has completed in 6 years!!! I'm still waiting. Even Uduaghan completed a whole airport. Even private citizen Tinubu completed Ikeja Mall and Oriental. In less than 2 years Sterling Oduah has remodelled 11 airports. I'm waiting......one major project Fashola has completed. |
[quote author=slim fit ]Because there isn't much economic activities going on over there in edo. Building airport without proper plains to fly into it doesn't make much sense. How many industries are there in that state you don't just build airport you need to consider whether its relevant to your people. Well they have wasted the money well done to the federal government.[/quote]Really So you checked and didn't see any economic activity abi?? So when the likes of KPMG tell you that Nigeria is burstling and growing exponentially, you think they are joking right?? When Western Union tells you that Benin recieves over 1 billion dollars in transfers yearly, you think they joke right?FYI, anytime I get to the BENIN or WARRI airport 3 hrs before the flight, I dont get tickets because they are totally sold out! |
koruji: Before you guys kill yourself bragging about "commissioning" these terminals can we see the BEFORE & AFTER.Now it is before and after pictures they want to see!! Hehe,finally we are making progress!! That's a graduation! So Fashola shows before and after pictures?? Thats interesting oh. We will copy him and do just that so as to cure your irreparable pessimism! And please, I was asking on another thread why Fashola has failed to complete any major project in the 6 years since he became Governor. Even bad Governors like Uduaghan can boast of a completed airport. 6 years after, no new BRT lanes. 6 years after, the phase one of the light rail is less than 20% complete. 6 years after Lagos-Badagry Expressway- less than 10% complete. Lekki Epe Expressway(52km) is taking 10 years already. Lekki Free Trade Zone is empty. We used to hear of deep sea port, greenfield refinery and one airport like that they want to build in Lekki--- all of them na inside paper them dey! 6 years and $30 Billion after?? Aviation minister has been here for just 2 years and 11 airports are almost completely remodelled, with plans to complete another 11 and build 5 new terminals. Some before and during pictures for you. I am sure the after would be provided after the commissioning. BEFORE https://leadership.ng/nga/sites/default/files/articleimages/benin-airport.jpg https://www.anthonylaw.co.uk/blog%20images/2007%20images/MAR2007%20NigeriaBeninAirportMar07.jpg DURING https://cdn.informationnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/866919_281483_545268228822402_478885833_n_jpg28fb5855acf6dffea35d74722d99d410-600x398.jpg?9d7bd4 [img]http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQel54kmTSq9Uhl9NhgP4KbctIRYIaCObLjTp7qLdGiW9WkhHiL[/img] https://img.naij.com/n/0c/d/benin_airport_new_2_.jpg [img]http://3.bp..com/-2LuNKa5K2uw/UI8X9nqt3vI/AAAAAAAAAMY/KfUzxbb-_W8/s400/new+murtala+mohammed+terminal.jpg[/img] https://vml1.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/airport-screening.jpg AFTER I'm pretty sure we will see many "after" pictures today. |
karl max: By HENRY UMORU & JOSEPH ERUNKEThese journalists and thier very poor maths skills!! 83% + 27% is 110%. That 27% should read: leaving 17% for southerners! |
There is trouble in the air. Some people will piss everyday in their panties because of these commissionings. Jonathan's projects are coming on stream in droves and the haters are scampering for safety in wonderment. Thier fear understandable. If Jonathan performs excellently, their hopes would be dashed. They want Nigeria to baraje and pafuka under Jonathan so they can lay claim to power. If he makes Nigeria great, there will be sadness in their hearts and homes! For them, the saddest part is the fact that the daily bombings have vanished. "Why can't Boko Haram just keep bombing till 2015", they retort in thier hearts! I'm glad to see the commisionings of these projects. That is an airport I use frequently. To think that the road to Lagos and the Airports in both Benin and Lagos are been revamped. To think that 11 other airports would also be commisioned. To think that they would build 5 new world class terminals. To think that all these are happening within such a short period(less than 2 years) just gives you even more hope!! I am happy!! In the Nigeria I knew previously, things like these take decades or never come to fruition!! Today things are changing! |
TINUBU: Mo gbe oooh. Se wahala. We are in trouble oh!This whole APC thing! Kosi bombing anymore. Foreign reserves are up. Commission power laro, commission airport oru! Commission road today, commission train tomorrow! TINUBU: Aburo Fashola,this is a problem oooh. We didn't see all this coming oh. FASHOLA: Egbon Tinubu, ma worry. It won't last. Put me and the old cattle rearer(Buhari) on the ticket and we will use Hausa and Yoruba votes to get to Aso Rock. TINUBU: Ewo, with all these commisionings going on? Ha! E je ka call the Fisherman and apologise ni oh. Aside's, you and which old man? YOU think say me I know like Aso Rock ni?? Wake up from your dream oh!! |
When you see some comments, its pretty obvious that some folks would rather Nigeria stays in darkness than have GEJ fix power for the simple reason that they don't want him to get any credits. GEJ haters are afraid of electricity being fixed. Left to them, Jonathan should not fix Nigeria because their bitterness and hatred would have no more channels. When Jonathan commissions power plants, they say noooo, its OBJ or there is still no light! When Jonathan fixes roads, they ask how much was spent on it or how long did it take or cant we get 12 lanes. When Jonathan supports entrepreneurship through excellent programs like YOUWIN, they say where is the power to run the business. When Jonathan revamps the rail network, they say the trains are outdated or we need high speed rails. When Jonathan is expanding the economy through agriculture, they are asking whether na Cassava bread we go chop? When Jonathan is fixing all the airports, they refer us to European and American airports saying why are they not as good?? The same OBJ who had 8 years to fix power but didn't add 1 MW to the grid should now take credit when GEJ with just 2 years has added more than 3000MW. The same OBJ who had 8 years but didn't as little as paint the toilets in any airport is now better than GEJ who in 2 yrs has revamped 11 airports. I don't want to compare OBJ with Jonathan, because it would make OBJ look like a total failure which I don't think he was. So let me stop here. Fashola has had six years to revamp Lagos infrastructure and yet till today he hasn't completed one single mega project. One, Just one. Even bad Governors like Uduaghan have completed whole airports, but I can't credit Fashola with any single project above say N10 billion. All the large projects he has taken upon are still in their infancy or out-rightly abandoned with no hope in sight. The Lagos Badagry expressway- nothing! The light rail project- nothing! Lekki Epe expressway- incomplete! Lekki free trade zone- empty! Eko Atlantic- sand! Fourth mainland bridge- Dreamland! Tejuosho market- abandoned! One single major porojeeect- I can't find any!! Yet the man has had 6 good years! Six yeaearrrs!!! Yet ACN/APC fellas want us to believe that he is some kind of infallible creature! These folks want Jonathan's trains to look like the ones in Dubai and Japan yet its OK when Fashola's BRT buses look like dinghis from Bangladesh. They want Jonathan's airports to look like Schipol, but Fashola is performing when he builds schools looking like the prisons of Brazil! When LASU students protest, they students are bad. When UNIABUJA students protest, the government is bad. I like Fashola and I respect him because he is building good institutions and systems that would make Lagos function. But if you ask me, his 6 years and $30 billion dollars in budgets are not seen anywhere in Lagos! The city is still a dumpsite and one of the most uninhabitable enclaves on the face of the planet! Whether we like it or not, Jonathan would fix power! Nigerians would appreciate it. If 24hrs light comes to your neigbourhood before 2015 and you feel angry at the progress Nigeria has made, you can as well disconnect from the grid and make use of generators. If you don't like the remodelled airpots, go by road. If the roads are too smooth for you, please buy Cortina and trekk to your destination. Nigeria would progress whether you like it or hate it and the transformation has started albeit slowly!!!! |
There is no more Okada in the rest of the south south. All states in the South South have moved beyond Okada and adopted better means of transport except Edo State. It's time for our comrade Governor to take a cue from the rest and join the move towards advancement. From what I've seen, Okada actually impedes the growth of better transport modes. |
He said, "The question I asked then was of what purpose is the tour? Do the people of Nigeria need a tour to know that they are being well governed? What is the tour supposed to achieve? Are they resolving problems at project sites? Where are their projects? What is the value of tour when you can't implement a budget? I can go on tour of projects because my budget performed 89 per cent last year.So much hypocrisy going on. I respect Fashola, but seriously these guys need to know that we aren't fools. You use a rating agency's report to say that Lagos is performing excellently. So you say Lagos is doing good. That same report says Nigeria is performing outstandingly and has even been rated above the BRICS(excluding China) and has been placed under a new classification called MINTs and yet your party opens its mouth to say Nigeria's economy is on the brink of collapse. The last I checked, Lagos constitutes the bulk and the base of the Nigerian economy with all the economic head offices situated here. So if as the ACN wants us to believe, our economy is on the brink of collapse, how come Fashola says Lagos performance rating is excellent!! Its like saying, your body is about to collapse but you head is doing excellently! Hypocrisy. I am big fan of Fashola and I don't want him to go the way of El Rufai, who has become so directionless in his baseless attack. Fashola is too intelligent for this crap! |
Two men will eventually expose the ruse that is the APC . They are Okorocha & Oshiomole. How would it happen. These two men are potentially the best and most strategic presidential candidates the APC can have. They are the only ones that can by virtue of both charisma, geography and performance credit combined actually displace the PDP. But APC, the regional party that it is would only want to have any Northern or South Western candidates on the top ticket. These two men would be edged out when the balls are down! |
To think that this is the only university managed by a (Buhari) CPC controlled state. Where is El Rufai, Buhari and the rest of the CPC goons?? It is time to start asking what the only CPC controlled state has achieved in the last 2 years? For CPC, Education is truly Haram!! Congrats to the (GEJ) FG for the quick and timely response!! |
I like I like. I want one!! Perfect for the Nigeria High way system!! |
Anybody that doesnt believe in the YOUWIN program would have himself to blame and would have no reason ever to blame the Government of not providing jobs for young Nigerians. This is the most credible program I have seen in the history of this country where everything is done based on merit. Everybody I have spoken with was selected based on the strength of their business plans. My friend put in for a 10 million naira project and she was selected. |
[quote author=Angel_7]Can someone who have been in dis help? I really want to participate. I make jewelries. Good presentation of the proposal is my challenge. Thanks[/quote]Keep checking the website till sometime in september. Put together a reasonble business plan with all the basic requirements. Fill out the template. If they like your plan, you'll be selected. By the way, it is very competitive and subsequent ones would be even more so considering that people are believing more in the program. The website is www.youwin.org.ng |
Gbawe: You are not correct here. It is not about high speed trains alone. It cannot be. It is all about an efficient, flexible and varied transport mix developed through optimal cost efficiency. There are several ways I can travel to France and the Netherlands from the UK. Road, Ferry, the Euro-tunnel trains are all options facilitated by a flexible transport mix.For the first time in the history of Gbawe's life on Nairaland. . . . . . . . . . An article with Jonathan in it was devoid of hateful criticism. Congratulatunk!!!. I sha know you like Ghana very well and would definitely love to drive a freeeway all the way to Accra |
Obiora4life: When is this supposedly?Sometime in september i think. Just check the website regularly. |
Obiora4life: Is there anyone for males?The next one is open to all. |
free2ryhme: u became a winner for a female only competition ... U 2 muchIt is not a female only competition. This years own was made Female only to encourage more women. I think he refers to last years own |
PICTURE represents a Cross section of a set of YOUWIN second stage applicants just before training at Awka. This is the best program the Government has engaged in forever. All the ladies at the training section confirmed that they didnt have to know anybody in Abuja to be selected. They simply filled out their business plans online and 6,000 applcants out of about 66,000 applications were selected. Many of the applicants boldly requested for the highest sum possible which is 10 million Naira.

[quote author=Neo-XVI]How dumb! Going to the airport with all your family cos you're traveling? What culture is that? It indicates that there are countless jobless people sitting around with nothing better to do! 4 million passengers for an international airport is a very small number. There are class B airports in the US with 50 million passengers a year. If they have nothing better to do with money at the aviation ministry, they should build a modern airport then. Last time I was there (last year), it was still crap. And building parking spaces while the road to the airport is in a sorry state is still putting the cart before the horse. It is still the same government, no? You sound more like one of the contractors for the parking lot [/quote]Not only do I dislike confident ignorance, I detest it!!"Class B airports with 50 million passengers in the U.S".Like thats news. Except perhaps you live in North Korea and are blocked off Google & Wiki.First, most of the busiest Airports in US are all class B airport. Atlanta Hatfield which is obviously the busiest in the world is a Class B Airport. The top 15 busiest airports in the USA are all class B airports. Very few class A airports exist and they are not determined by passenger traffic. And by the way, 4 million International passengers a year is big for Africa, at least it ranks in top 5. About fixing the road, the works ministry has a bigger priority to use its scarce resources on death traps like Benin Ore, Enugu Onitsha, Benin Lokoja road before thinking of beautifying the MMA road. That should not stop the Aviation Ministry from prioritizing a parking lot. Its like telling a Chemistry teacher to stop teaching chemistry because the biology teacher is sick and cant come to school. Last time I was there (last year), it was still crap.Last time I was at Dallas Fort Worth, the airport was undergoing remodelling just like the MMA.It looked like crap to me too. I saw somewhere that it would take 7 years to complete and wondered why so long?? Your mouth like crap. Improvements are being made instead of you to appreciate you are running your mouth. Nothing wrong with critiquing, but let it be constructive. Once again, I dont just dislike confident ignorance, I detest it!! |
nigerwide08: God, why is everything so difficult like this. Just 100k, Haa!! God ..... Wat can i do again.I was about to comment positively on your post and actually help out until I saw this. Fatalism. |
