[size=15pt]I laugh when APC liars tell gullible Nigerians PDP has done nothing.

80% of whatever developement strides Abuja has
attained currently is the handwork of a PDP govt.

6 months into his tenure and Buhari is yet to construct a single km of road. He is lying to us about 'no money' with the APC media (Punch, Nation etc) deploying various forms of propaganda and lies.

APC suddenly remembered today that Nigeria is not a rich country. This same country that overtook Egypt and South Africa to emerge Africa's
largest economy under PDP govts
[/size]

so on point

The power of vision!

I believe many people would have wonders at the STUPIDITY of the developers back then. But today we see how STUPID indeed they were. Today, Transcorp is a place the high and mighty rush to book a room for relaxation, conference hall for meetings, etc.

That's the way Dangote has built his brand. Vision.

To be great, one must of necessity SEE what others aren't seeing. They may misunderstand you. All great men were at one time misunderstood in their lives.

You may have that idea and passion lurking within you. Harness it. Let them call you names. Just keep at it. All great men must be nonconformists. In the end, they'll come back seeking your fame, advice and wealth.

But the place has become a shadow of itself and is in dire need of refurbishment. Fallen behind a few competitors even in Abuja in my opinion.

80% of d development in abuja happened under MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS.

This economic crash started in jonathans tenure due to d GLOBAL FALL IN CRUDE PRICE ALONGSIDE INDISCRMINATE SYPHONING OF GOVT FUNDS. OGA REVISIONIST, SALARIES HAVE NOT BN PAID SINCE LAST YEAR. The crying started with nkonjo iweala. In fact she was lamenting since 2yrs ago & wanted d subsidy scrapped but no one listened until state govts cldnt pay salaries. WHY DID JONATHAN & OBASANJO NOT DIVERSIFY THE ECONOMY DURING THE BOOM? WHY ARE WE AT THE MERCY OF GLOBAL CRUDE PRICES? ode.

Yes because NigerDelta is in Nigeria.


Deal with that

^^^The same Lagos is in Nigeria but it's just for Yorubas' (regardless of the state their from); and FCT is also in the same Nigeria, but its been headed by only northerners since inception; but when it comes to Niger Delta oyel, it belongs to everyone because it's in Nigeria abi?

You think you're smart!

The process of destroying a forest and replacing it with something else, especially by an agricultural system.

maybe the guy was right. you need to answer your own question. He said gross deforestation, which mainly explains what happened to that region. Do you have a better take?

Development in Abuja happened so fast and still happening.

Yep! Same way i bought three piece of lands for 600k in some bush some were and my uncle thought that i am crazy, people were just going there to shi!t and bury their dead and throw away rubbish, now 2015 banks businesses are begging me to sell to them for 12 mill naira.

And is the same uncle of mine who is my agent now.

How time flies. 28 years ago the hotel was inside bush in the new and developing city of Abuja. what was in the mind of the construction workers then?

They had a vision. They knew exactly what and where they wanted to be. They knew it wasn't going to be a bush in future, so they studied the city plan and chose one of the most strategic location in the then developing city. The rest is history.

see change

I was there last week 4 a brief meeting...............and. This weeks meeting is gonna b at Amphi theatre, national conference centre.....its very close to nnpc towers and national assembly.............can coke is #1500 der.....things are costly der

yes oo my bros, just like my hubbys friend thinks am crazy the day i went to show both of them the plots i bought. I bought mine just 150k each. I was so discouraged after dat visit and hv bn thinking about selling it off. But this post just gave me hope. I will just forget about it for a few more years, who knows what that area may turn out to be. Already i noticed a big secondary school just started around there. Thats the only building existing there for now. And a major road was being carved out along it by the previous governor, hopefully this new one will continue the construction. And am even lucky my plots are not far from the road. Am super excited right now.
