PoliticsCan APC Win The Presidency In 2015? by Pergrace(op): 2:14pm On Feb 08, 2013
How successful or effective will this new party APC be in 2015? From my own understanding, their main aim is to remove PDP from the presidential seat in 2015 after which they can be able to control the supposedly president to favour them. I am not quite comfortable with this move because I feel they might be worse than PDP having in mind that Power intoxicates. They are all birds with the same feathers.
My take is that the chances of APC winning the Presidency in 2015 may be 60%..So let’s hear your own opinions.
PoliticsRe: Senate To FG: Save 3rd Mainland Bridge From Collapsing by Pergrace: 2:07pm On Feb 08, 2013
watchinglagos: The Third Mainland Bridge is in dire need of rehabilitation as repairs executed by the Ministry of Works did not meet the required standard, a senator has said.
Gbenga Ashafa (ACN-Lagos ) made this revelation on Thursday at a Senate sitting. If the bridge is not immediately worked on, it will collapse, Mr. Ashafa warned.
He told newsmen at a briefing later, that an independent assessment showed that repair works carried out in October 2012 by the Ministry of Works did not meet the required standard.Barely four months later, the Senate finds that the bridge still has defects despite claims by the Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, that the bridge did not have any structural defect and would not collapse.

http://www.watchinglagos.com/2013/02/act-now-to-save-third-mainland-bridge.html
On the bolded...who is to blame?Am sure huge money was spent to carry out the assessment.It seems the assessment was done after the work has been completed. This is medicine after death. Assessments should be done before ,during and after the repair works.
If this new findings are true then,we are is deep soup

SportsFIFA Probes Player With 'four Birthdays' by Pergrace(op): 10:11pm On Feb 03, 2013
(CNN) -- Everyone has a birthday. A joyful day for receiving presents from family and friends, for blowing out candles on a cake as you celebrate your arrival on this earth.

Some people even have two, such as Britain's Queen Elizabeth II -- one to mark the date of her birth, and one to celebrate the anniversary of her coronation.

But soccer player Chancel Mbemba Mangulucan top that. He appears to haves four "birthdays" -- and it has caused him a lot of problems. So much so that football's world governing body FIFA has now started an investigation.

"We are currently analysing all the documents at our disposal and investigations against the relevant entities are on-going," FIFA told CNN on Thursday. "In view of this, we cannot comment any further."

Mbemba was part of the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) squad for the Africa Cup of Nations -- considered one of the toughest tournaments in world soccer -- but, before that, confusion over his date of birth almost put an end to his dreams of a career with a top European club.


Footballing maverick on giving back Zambia Cup victory unites country Mbemba was registered by his two first Congolese clubs as being born in 1988, according to documents obtained by CNN. Yet for a Cup of Nations qualifier in June 2011, his year of birth was listed as November 30, 1991.

Meanwhile, the birth date recorded by his Belgian club Anderlecht is August 8, 1994.

Just to complicate matters, Mbemba himself, thinks he was born in 1990.

The story continues on http://edition.cnn.com/2013/02/01/sport/football/age-african-football-mbemba/index.html

Obasanjo Lays Foundation Stone of Private Refinery in Bayelsa
Published by:
This Day (Lagos)
October 22, 2002
Posted to the web October 22, 2002
Lagos
[size=14pt]President Olusegun Obasanjo[/size] at the weekend laid the foundation stone of the country's first privately-owned refinery, at Agge in Bayelsa.
Obasanjo, who was represented by Mr Funsho Kupolokun, his special assistant on petroleum, said that the establishment of private refineries in the country had the capacity to inject massive funds into the economy.

The president said that the setting up of the TONWEI™ refinery would end product scarcity in the immediate community and its environs, just as it would also facilitate the springing up of ancilliary industries.
According to him, "when TONWEI™ refinery becomes operational and even during the construction stage, it would generate hundreds of employment opportunities for Nigerians, including people in the local community."
Obasanjo said that in opting for the liberalisation of the oil industry, his administration intended to rid the sector of monopoly in the supply and distribution chains.
He said that the aim was to encourage private individuals and corporate bodies with the wherewithal and the technical capability to invest in the petroleum sector, so that with time the problems associated with the industry would be solved.
Against this backdrop, Obasanjo said that all the barriers hindering the entry of new investors into the oil sector were to be removed.
The president advised the promoters of the proposed refinery to spare no efforts in ensuring that it comes on stream on schedule.
Deputy Senate President, Ibrahim Mantu, who was the chairman on the occasion, described the project as a dividend of democracy, which according to him will transform the landscape of Agge.
Mantu called on the people to see the project as theirs, as it is owned by their son.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the refinery, Timi George Tongubor, said that the project would cost 1.5 billion dollars.
Bayelsa Governor, [size=14pt]Dr Goodluck Jonathan[/size], who represented Gov. Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, said that the project would create employment opportunities for the people.

As we speak,the refinery has been swept under the carpet

Birds of the same feather flock together..Its more of Pot calling kettle black
PoliticsRe: NNPC In Questionable Egina FPSO Award To Samsung by Pergrace(op): 3:15pm On Feb 02, 2013
Area_boy: How long is this drama gonna last? They claim to want to save money for the country by choosing SHI. Or are they just making sure they get something enormous for their own pockets out of this massive project?

It's really sad that individuals at the top put their personal gain in front of promptly encouraging massive investment.

What I'm still not sure is, what is the problem with giving Samsung the contract? I mean, these IOC's know our govt is corrupt in every way. So if they decide SHI will do the job, why don't Total take that as a result and move on since they have done their part right?
Based on the Nigerian Content Law, I think HHI had an upper hedge,that was why they were the preferred bidder.
However,some greedy Nigerian Politician felt they aren't gonna benefit from it in terms of money(Niaja way nah),so decided to force Samsung on Total. What they need to do is set up a local company as the Local partner for Samsung.bty HHI already has a registrated entity in Nigeria.I know they have a base in Bayelsa.
The bottom line is that the powers that be are causing this wahala because of their personal gain.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Is It Proper To Reduce Your Age To Get a Job? by Pergrace: 2:29pm On Feb 02, 2013
No it is not proper

No matter your age, what will be will be.
I remember at age 30, I went to the UK to study for my Masters program based on the following:
1. I couldnt apply for graduate positions here in Nigeria because of my age.Mind you I don apply tire for Naija sotey I pass age 27.. grin grin..
2. I needed to upgrade my status in other to make a head way in the job market
3. Probably come back to Nigeria and excel in my career as a post graduate experienced personnel.

In the UK,I found out that age was never a barrier cos I got a couple of interviews for graduate positions.
However,I was NOT able to hit a dream job in the likes of Exxonmobil, Shell,Chevron, Schlumberger etc.Getting fustrated,I decided to return to Nigeria,within 6 months I got a job.Right now I am doing well in an Oil and Gas company.I did not enter as a graduate but got a job as a manager.

So my advice is please,do not reduce your age
