| Travel › Re: Arik Heathrow Brouhaha Takes New Dimenision As Airhostess Is Nabbed With Cocaine by POTUT(m): 12:28pm On Dec 21, 2011 |
I don't like this. I thought the NDLEA had created so much awareness to deter our youths from peddling. NDLEA usually stops them before they leave. How did this one pass them? What an embarrassment for Arik Air, and indeed us all. Hmmm, then I thought about it, can't anyone plant anything in your luggage while you are standing in line to pass through immigration? But then what could be the motive and the gain? That kind of thing can't stop Arik from flying to the UK. So there is really no motive here. Just another fastlane Nigerian. |
| Politics › Re: Fashola Pleads With Residents On Toll And Further Explains by POTUT(m): 12:03pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
This is a multi-dimensional issue. The governor has cleverly explained the position of the State from a narrow, biased position and people who do not understand will surely become gullible just by reading his comments. The issue at the CORE is this: There are 3 proposed toll gates on a 20 kilometer residential stretch of the 49 kilometer road. People like me are protesting the 3 tolls, not really the commencement of the tolling on the first one. Fashola has come to explain the tolling only, not the justification for 3 tolls. He also explained it from a sympathetic point of view that change has come and we should embrace it, but he is not explaining if that change is evil or for good. It is surely evil to toll the only road to a residential area. I continue to insist that LCC should have built two additional lanes (perhaps on overpasses/flyovers) and then tolled those additional lanes instead of just adding one lane to the existing road, building multiple, oversized roundabouts (that end up narrowing 3 lanes to 2 where they exist) and then tolling everything. |

We should not encourage politicians to perpetually steal money and then invite fronts in the guise of private/foreign investors. Can you imagine the thugs on Saturday carried placards that read 'we support Tinubu'. What does this tell you. Tinubu is not the current governor o! |

One of the below is true: We are not a true nation. We do not have a true president/leader. One section is busy killing another group as if we are in a war, while another section is getting ready to retaliate. And their leaders are busy scrambling for whatever is left, quickly before the heavens finally fall. Great drama! |
| Business › Re: Fuel Subsidy: What Happens To The Subsidy Savings? by POTUT(m): 9:04pm On Dec 14, 2011 |
So much noise about subsidy and its savings. So much noise about creating jobs and cushioning the effect of high fuel costs on the vulnerable citizens. I keep asking, does the FG, States & LGs know the numbers of Nigerian youths without a job and their orientations? Why do we not still have an Opportunity Exchange database where youths file in their competencies and orientations and the FG uses that for planning? No state governor in Nigeria has a plan for creating jobs. They are just salivating-in-waiting for subsidy savings money for which nobody will hold them accountable. They do not even know how many employable youths in their States and what their competencies are. No statistics. No job centers. No monthly employment report. They just keep talking, and talking. |

Nigerians have a great deal of patience. Surely, it will not run out now that there is a concrete plan. My only wonder is this: Are the big player generator importers and diesel monopolists involved in any of these investments? Shouldn't the FG issue a timeline to stop issuing Form Ms for generators that is consistent with these plans to improve our power sector? Please nobody should come after this era to tell us that saboteurs were responsible for the failure of our power sector. Only then will our patience run out. |

Asked what was the difference between the PDP of few years ago which he was a prominent member and now, el-Rufai argued that things had not gone out of hand when he was in the party. He said he had to decamp to the CPC because of the integrity of the leader of the party, Maj-Gen Muhammadu Buhari, stressing that Buhari was not out to enrich himself but to provide a good platform social justice and good governance.El Rufai, are you talking to Nigerians born after you left office or Nigerians who have very little memory to accommodate events within a decade? Aren't you just of the kind that jumps ship at the slightest sign of their irrelevance and then turn around to say your party has no integrity. PDP has not changed one nerve since Obasanjo. Why didn't you jump ship then? mschewww. Nigerian politicians will always be the same until we make it impossible/unattractive for people to change their philosophy on profound issues overnight. |

Now do we graciously and benevolently confer responsibility on Boko Haram? I served in Ekiti and know the area fairly well - serene and quiet. Where did this perdition sip in from? FG's weakness and incompetence is breeding ground for all manner of lawlessness. When will someone in FG stand up and do something? |

@coogar, at the border, you mean?Again, how removed you are from reality? How does Lekki/Eti-Osa represent the elite in Lagos? You can only handpick Ikoyi, VGC, NICON/Chevron Employees Estate and Northern Foreshore (in which for every occupied property, there are at least 2 empty ones) as the residents of the elite. Contrast that with the hundreds of smaller estates populated by everyday lagosians in Ajah and beyond. I live in Ajah and I pay 500k p/a for a normal 3 bedroom apartment. I am not elite by those standards and you will find thousands of households like mine all over this place. We come out for monthly estate meetings so we know ourselves. Update yourself, it will only cost you regular communication with anyone you left back here. |
| Politics › Re: Residents Warn Against Uncontrollable Chaos Over Lekki Tolling - SaharaReporters by POTUT(m): 12:27am On Dec 13, 2011 |
@coogar, Okay, you are not in touch with reality. I clearly understand. You are used to getting taxed and enjoying all those amenities you mentioned. Have you asked if Nigerians and Lagosians in particular who are also taxed (Lagos rakes in the highest PAYE in Nigeria) are enjoying those same amenities? They answer is 'no', they aren't enjoying those amenities. You see how out of touch you are? We all want to enjoy amenities here in Nigeria and get taxed, not get taxed and enjoy nothing. they have to start somewhere. . . . . . .There has never been a plan to reduce the number of toll plazas. Where are you conjuring that from? You are clearly not being real. toll the new lane? who would use a tolled lane when there's a free lane?How is this spastic? What was the purpose of repaving 2 lanes and adding a third? Was it not to ease congestion? So why do you think some citizens wouldn't want to avoid congestion by getting on the tolled lane? all these points are barking without biting.So anything government asks us to do is right and we must do it? Even when it can't stand reason? Are you really in control of yourself? Or your runaway asylum mentality is? |
| Politics › Re: Residents Warn Against Uncontrollable Chaos Over Lekki Tolling - SaharaReporters by POTUT(m): 11:51pm On Dec 12, 2011 |
It is VERY UNFORTUNATE that some Nigerians will sit in the US and anywhere else they have been lucky to get asylum to make comments from a pathetic perspective. Here are the FACTS for you diasporans to digest before running off your mouths, [list] [li]That two-lane 80 plus kilometre stretch from Mobil Building to Epe existed as at the time of Jakande in the early 80s.[/li] [li]As the decades came, population grew and that whole stretch grew into a dense residential area with estates sprouting on both sides of the stretch and a few businesses (relative to residences).[/li] [list] [li]Congestion on the two-lane road became the order of the day everyday. Danfo drivers and huge construction trucks attending to the Lekki Free Trade Zone made it worse.[/li] [li]Tinubu borrowed money and awarded the contract to expand the road to LCC (a company many still believe he has stakes in.)[/li] [li]LCC added only one more lane to the existing road, repaved the existing two lanes and built horrendous death traps in the name of roundabouts.[/li] [li]Over a 20 kilometer stretch of the road, which is still unfinished as we speak, LCC has mounted THREE toll plazas. Only one of the plazas is functional at the moment, the other two should be functional within 2012.[/li] [li]One directional trip for a sedan car will cost N120 (one hundred and twenty naira). Twenty bucks more than the traditional National toll of N100. When the three tolls start working, a family sedan will pay N360 to go to work, and same to return, for those who start from the end of this 20 km stretch[/li] [li]The quality of this road is questionable, given the many uneven surfaces and acute approach angles to the roundabouts (I still wonder where Tinubu and Fashola's sense of planning where applied in approving roundabouts instead of overpasses. The 3rd roundabout at Mobil Station has already relapsed to congestion because of its strategic location[/li] [/list] Now, where in the world is a 20 kilometer stretch tolled 3 times? Why didn't Lagos Govt. ask LCC to toll only the new lane and leave those who don't want to pay to suffer the congestion? Why are there no alternative roads all the way? Please consider these sincerely. I support the notion of tolling in a private-public partnership if this will only involve one toll plaza, but not 3 over a 20 kilometer stretch. Who is really behind this evil? |

| Politics › Re: The Daft Nigerian Intelligence Agency by POTUT(m): 8:37pm On Nov 08, 2011 |
A firm and consistent foreign policy can only be achieved in a true nation (that is if we define a true nation as a people from among whom it is impossible to identify a sub-nation/non-conforming group demographically - religion and geography being key elements). In my adult years, I have truly believed that Nigeria is not a true nation. There is no single foreign policy we can see through without favoring the christians/southerners and disenfranchising the muslims/northerners, or vice-versa. Some of my wishes would be that our religion and ethnicities were not geographically tied, just as our endemic corruption is NOT geographically tied. Outside of this, Nigeria is marching towards its undoing. Every facet of our government is just a department of a huge for-profit Agency whose shareholders are not the so-called Nigerian people. As the security we crave is not for the shareholders of Nigeria, the issue is not on the agenda. The FGN is an Agency of a larger, unseen body. |
| Politics › Re: Should Power Return To The North In 2015? by POTUT(m): 11:45pm On Nov 05, 2011 |
Can we simply agree as Nigerians that it is this empty talk of where power should reside that reflects how much we have regarded our country? Of course if 'power' resides in the north, then Nigeria becomes only the 'north' for that period, and same applies to the rest of the other zones. If we are so interested in talking about this, then I think we should just break up. Otherwise, lets concentrate on fishing out the best of us to lead the rest of us. This ethnic/zone card should stop making the rounds, once and for all! |
