honeric01: Hanging is illegal, anything that is illegal is not employment.

afam4eva: This ACN governors have got to be the funniest in the federation.

honeric01: You actually believe $1 is the benchmark? tell me how you can feed with 160 naira and i will tell you the reality on ground.

if you make 1k as profit, transport from where you sell back home should be around 100 naira, you feed about 300 naira making 400 in a day. you are left with 600 naira.. now what about clothing, housing, medications, relaxation e.t.c? 600 naira is going to handle that?

honeric01: How much do you think a gala hawker makes in a day? their profit on each gala is 10 naira and they can only sell between 50-200 pieces in a very thick bumper to bumper hold on.. when there's no hold-up, no sales so tell me, how much is he going to make on an average day?

Same with freelance referrer.. they get 50 naira,100 naira as tip, but how often do they get these? and how much do you think they make in a day? you believe this is employment?

billante: Yes I agree peter does not do gigantic projects but he spreads his development all over the state! Anambra now has d best intra state roads and I will keep shouting dat over d roof! Just try and Drive tru idemili and I bet u will get lost in d mist of network of good roads tru towns and villages there.

Transportation
we are still working in ipaja, we have a problem with the terrain instead of using asphalt , we are using inter locking blocks to ensure the durability of the road. we have a company preparing roads, there are roads that need to be rebuilt, the roads we have just built are unlikely to break in the next 15 years.

there is no disagreement between us and the fg, on the 3rd mainland bridge, the reason is that the information we got was that the bridge was to be closed,and that was not true, you must separate road management from traffic issues, Lagos state is responsible for traffic of its state.
if we close the bridge totally, the traffic issues will be uncontrollable.

we created the traffic radio to enable you decide whether you want to go out during rush hour or stay at home.

we expect the 4th, possibly 5th and 6th mainland bridge

Lagos intends to have its own airport, our business is not to manage airport,there are people who wants to own such assets, we are trying to put a team for that.

we just added another fleet of 350 buses at the end of may, and we are expecting to deliver a 1000 buses, there are franchise who have taken up franchisees to take up more routes, we do not manufacture buses here, the time lags between importation, demurrage and delivery, we do not have a bus plant here.

light rails are going on, the biggest constraint is finance, financing that project, its from the same ports we are financing all projects.

Almubaraq Sadara: Be hold Nigerian! the govt are just using our head those under the cover of Boko were known by the govt for an ordinary sect can not impose scurity threat to a country at this age and era of highly versed technology nonono take from me Dasuki can not do anything about this enhence govt is just changing all in the name of let them see that we are reacting to the issue at hand. even very soon Dasuki is leaving the post!

timbros: The stats didnt show Lag airport as the busiest in West Africa...infact wat i saw there, in 2011, no West African Airport appear in Top 8

FSU: NORTH Vs JONATHAN: Ex-Generals, others plot against president • Meet in Abuja on how to unseat him in 2015

By: ADE ALADE, Abuja

Saturday, June 23, 2012

The scope of the plot to unseat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government headed by President Goodluck Jonathan in the next presidential election was on Monday night broadened in Abuja, where top northern leaders held a meeting with former governor of Lagos State and national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, (ACN), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The meeting, which had in attendance former heads of state from the North as well as retired military officers, like ex-National Security Adviser (NSA), General Aliyu Gusau and former ministers, is coming on the heels of a similar one between Tinubu and Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) presidential candidate in the last general election, General Mohammadu Buhari, in Lagos and Kaduna.

One of the northern leaders, who attended the Abuja meeting, told Saturday Sun: "The meeting was an informal one held to woo the former Lagos governor, Asiwaju Tinubu and discuss possibilities of extending the frontiers of cooperation and collaboration between the people of the North and the South West people ahead of the next election.

"The meeting was also called to broaden whatever discussion is ongoing between Asiwaju Tinubu and the CPC leader, General Buhari because the North cannot afford to gamble with the 2015 election chance, in the face of what the region is going through under the Jonathan administration. Our people have been ruined and as leaders, we are pained over what the present government is doing to the North.

"The only opportunity we have is a democratic change of the situation and that can be achieved through seeking partnership with a formidable opposition party leader, like Asiwaju Tinubu and the South West people who have a record of embracing progressive change."

He said that the meeting was "held over dinner to underscore the convivial mood at the discussion."

It was further gathered that none of the leaders at the meeting spoke about any personal ambition, but rather, "they all emphasised the need for change, irrespective of which section of the country produces the next president."

A northern leader, who attended the meeting told Saturday Sun: "For most of us at the meeting, we have put behind us our past ambitions of ruling the country, but we are all united and committed to a change of the present arrangement. And to buttress selflessness and sincerity of purpose on this matter, we made it clear that our desire for change is not out of desperation to have the North reclaim the presidency because we are ready to even support a better candidate from any other zone, including the South West."

Though no names of likely candidates to support came up at the meeting, a former minister at the meeting disclosed that a repeat of the 1993 Social Democratic Party (SDP) arrangement is on the minds of most of those at the meeting.

"We didn't discuss this, but it is obvious that the North wouldn't mind to persuade the former Lagos governor to vie for the presidency, while we get someone, like the CBN governor to run as his deputy or vice versa. The Muslim-Muslim ticket wouldn't be an issue once the candidates are sellable to the two sides of the divide. Nigerians are only interested in good governance and not religion. We have had a similar arrangement in the past with the Abiola and Kingibe ticket that swept the polls across the country. So, the same thing is still possible," the former minister disclosed.

The consideration of the CBN governor is hinged on the view that "he will be a good candidate that will appeal to the Buhari crowd and also blend with other interest groups from the North."

It will be recalled that Buhari and Tinubu had, after a political meeting in Kaduna about two weeks ago, flown in the same plane from Kaduna to Kano and drove in the same car from the Aminu Kano International Airport to the emir's palace, where the CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, was being installed the Dan Majen Kano.

sadi78: …Arrest three

The prompt intervention of the anti-bomb squad drafted from Bompai Police headquarters averted what could have been the most deadly attack in the ancient city of Kano as police arrested three suspected terrorists for planting explosives inside a mosque on Friday.
The suspected terrorists had concealed the high volume Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in a plastic bag and neatly planted it inside the Fagge Mosque which has a capacity of about 15, 000 worshipers.
Speaking on the incident on phone, Kano State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim K. Idris, confirmed that three people suspected to be terrorists were arrested within the mosque premises.
“The person that planted the explosive came inside the mosque before the prayer time. He concealed the explosive in a plastic can, dropped it, sat down, picked a Qu’ran and pretended to be reciting the Qu’ran.
“After some minutes, he went outside, came in again, sat in the same position and pretended to be reading the Holy Book. After a while, he went outside, abandoned the plastic can and never returned. At this point, the mosque committee suspected the plastic can and alerted the police.
“When the anti-bomb squad arrived the mosque, they brought the plastic can outside, checked the content and discovered it was an explosive; and they immediately detonated it,” he stated.
The olice boss, however, advised residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious movement or strange item dumped anywhere to the police, pointing out that, “people should be very careful even in the mosques and churches.”
“Worshipers should not be allowed to come inside places of worship with strange materials,” Idris advised.
Alhaji Kabiru Isah, who worshiped at the mosque, gave a graphic account of the incident.
“It was by Allah’s grace that we were saved. People were already rushing into the mosque as prayer time was fast approaching when one of the mosque committee members observed a polythene bag abandoned inside the mosque.
“He was so suspicious of the content of the polythene bag; and he immediately raised alarm. The police was informed. At this point, three men outside the mosque who thought the bomb had exploded shouted Allahu Akbar (God is great). They were immediately identified as the masterminds of the evil act and the police arrested them with the help of the worshipers.
“I thank Allah for saving the lives of his servants. It would have been another tragic story; and only God knows what their motive and mission were. I believe they are detractors who simply want to cause confusion and commotion in the state, but Allah exposed them,” Isah told our correspondent.

acidtalk: There nairalanders,

It has been a common knowledge for young Nigerian Job seekers to be scammed on a daily basis due to the desperation of people trying to get a means of survival.

Be kind enough to list the names of fake companies who try to scam or deceive unsuspecting job seekers by sending out fake information of job vacancy or intervies.


Below are 2 Major ones I have heard about ;

*Esther Breakthrough (EBT). They used to be somehwere around Ojuelegba in surulere. You will be made to pay a sum only to be given fake employment letter.



*VHR - 9 oremeji str, Isolo. They are into Multi Level Marketer of Healthcare drugs but will always lie to deceive people with different vacancy names only to be told to even pay a particular sum.


Nairalanders, please post others you know of so that people can be aware and not fall victim.

PapaBrowne: The writing style makes it difficult to read through. There are a thousand threads so there is attention deficit. If you want comments, highlight the high-points of your essay so that peeps can understand your speech without having to read it all.

Genius100: Dude, this is from 2009...

Oluwa4Sure: Bros even the most lucrative business in the world are not risk free!!!
My single advice is ask your friend to lock it all up with GOD in Prayers!!!!

doyin13: The thing is no one has actually brought any statistics to contradict any of Rufai's.

Quoting accounts on google of Onitsha market or showing the number of applications to NAU or giving anecdotal evidence of whats on ground do not particularly provide a good defence of what Rufai has said. I get good accounts of how wonderful Fashola is doing all the time and think of him as poor at best and scandalous at worst.

I have no problems with highlighting Rufai's mischief if indeed that is what he is up to, but it would be poor form to only address his intentions and not his argument as well.
