FineUsername:NUPENG will never allow that to happen . NUPENG members have to determine if NNPC is qualified to export petrol |
Daniel207:May their souls rest in peace. We need to be very careful with inverters. In 2007 in Abuja, at a Plaza in Area 7, that was how inverter batteries burst into fire. It was an ISP, those on duty tamed the fire. Also, highly inflammable products should not be allowed close to inverter batteries array. The Circuit breakers and switches should be original and of high quality. |
Racoon:I said KANU should be given a conducive private room at National Hospital. Nigeria's situation is tricky. During JONATHAN Government, Senator Ali Ndume was against the use of force against Boko Haram. He said Boko Haram should be treated like Niger Delta militants and be giving Amnesty and other incentives given to Niger Delta militants . There is a need to classify 1. Niger Delta Militants 2. IPOB 3. Bandits. It is until the classification is done before we can know what to say. |
Ladiesdoctor:He should be transferred to a conducive private room at the National Hospital. I pray the request is granted. There is a need for National Dialogue |
ichuka:In 2014 Lagos to Ibadan Expressway was a jungle and nightmare. Sagamu to Ore was nightmare when Jonathan decided to construct the Lagos Calabar Coastal Railway line. If he had started that time would that have also be a wasted resources? We cannot be stagnated forever. Globally, Coastal Highway creates new economic opportunities. The rate of return on investment is very good. |
abc115:This Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway project is a very courageous project. It requires greater courage than the courage required to remove oil subsidy. This is a project of lifetime. About seven years ago When DANGOTE said the Refinery project is his lifetime project, I never knew the meaning that time, but now I understand. With all due respect to Goodluck Jonathan, looking at the complexity of this project and the terrain with dredging, sandfilling, pilling, bridges, etc and the budget politics at the National Assembly , I don't know how Jonathan would have been able to start the Lagos Calabar Coastal Railway project as planned if he had won 2015 election. Buhari went through the project documents and abandoned it for Kano Maradi project. The courage to tame the Atlantic Ocean from submerging Victoria Island, Lekki and Ajah was a great courage but Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway project is greater. I salute the courage of TINUBU and the determination of UMAHI on this project. |
TechSkill:The last feeding program under Buhari, none of the Primary Schools I know very well benefited from it. |
trytillmake:I have been thinking about this for months. I have no access to Sir Government (Tompolo) and His Royal Highness Asari Dokubo. The States in the North that have been having dialogue with bandits should engage Sir Tompolo and His Royal Highness Asari Dokubo to be part of the dialogue. Alternatively, the names of key bandits commanders should be forwarded to Niger Delta EX Militant leaders for meetings on how to bring peace to North. I believe the bandits commanders would open up on their grievances and the way forward. |
Righteousness2:That setting is certainly a spiritual settings. Over a decade ago, I lodged in hotel at Area 8, Abuja. I have lodged there several times before and some of the workers know me very well. On this particular weekend, I lodged in one of my favorite suites. I cannot sleep, the bed was very uncomfortable for me. I felt very uneasy. I know something spiritual must have taken place in the room by a ritualistic people. I wanted to change to another suite the available one was expensive. I decided to remove the bedsheets. I lifted up the very heavy mattress up beside the wall. Then I saw something wrapped up in White Clothes. I lifted it. I didn't unwrap it because it was stained. I called the duty manager. He collected it. He said he knows the man that left the room. He is their regular customer. Definitely, the man must have used the White Clothes to clean someone body. |
bigcasava1:Is the Federal Government stopping those ports from working? Why is Onne Port working? This issue have been explained severally but ignorance and bitterness did not allow people to accept logic. The alternative of giving Lagos an independent as country is welcome so goods shipped to other countries would arrive at those countries ports. Mind you, even if Lagos ports are closed, 80% of Nigeria Cargoes would be discharged at Lome and Cotonou ports. |
Most of those fishermen are thieves and sea pirates. Navy boys that have worked with patrol boats know this. Especially those with outboard engine as backup to paddling. They aid smuggling at ports and sea. At Onne axis and some areas, some notorious ones among them are nicknamed 'alarmblow'. They are the ones that graduated into using Canoe for water transportation. They ferry girls, goods and people to Ships at sea and those ships on anchorage at sea and those that berth. That area is another sector entirely. Sea is very wide. They aid a lot of stealing and atrocities being committed at sea, they also play vital important safety and commercial purposes on Marine ecosystem services and marine economics. |
2mch:Thanks. My friends have gone to Lome Port severally to clear goods some years ago. They have gone to Cotonou, they have even gone as as far as Tema port in Ghana to clear goods some years ago. Also in US, they want to move items from a particular place to Nigeria, the port at that location doesn't have Shipping Lines to Nigeria except the goods are moved to another port with Shipping Lines to Cote D'Ivoire, Tema, Lome up to Lagos. If Federal Government close all the Seaport in Lagos for VDM to develop his town, the Shipping Lines or Agencies will discharge about 80% of Nigeria Cargoes in Togo or Cotonou |
waternogatenemy:He doesn't want Nigeria to develop. It is societal decay that created Social Media entertainers as later day activists. It is just like some nairaland moderators bias and uncoordinated control of intelligent topics. All these things you wrote above doesn't make any meaning. In US and other developed countries there are Seaports with Ships that don't come to Lagos. You have to move your cargoes to Seaport that have Shipping Lines that come to Lagos, alternatively, you go to Tema or Lome or Cotonou ports to clear your goods and bring to Nigeria. In developed countries, there are international flights that are not even available in some Airports, you have to get those Airports. If your Social media later day activists wanted to talk about refineries not working and land mass for Agriculture what concerns a Coastal City , the ECOWAS economic hub carrying much burden with that? Will the Emirates in UAE putting blame on Dubai for not allowing them thrive economically. Bye |
Gerrard59:I didn't read your post but just observed you talk about Seaport like majority of people on this topic do out of ignorance, bitterness and for propaganda. Country cannot force Ships to deliver cargoes to ports that are not on their routes. Maersk is at Onne Port. Ships move cargoes to and from Onne Port. Some people asked questions why DANGOTE use Lome Port during Refinery project when Lagos doesn't have the capacity to receive the 150,000 containers, they said why not Warri others mentioned Portharcourt (Abonema or Onne). I don't want to delve into technicalities. Intel Logistics and other private investors are driving Badagry Deep Seaport. Tolaram group and others private investors created Lekki Deep Seaport. DANGOTE has announced his intention to establish a deep seaport in Ogun State. AkwaIbom governor should let us know the Private investors that are driving the IBOM Deep Seaport. Before 2023 election battle, ATIKU was always talking about the progress being made at Badagry Seaport because of Intel Logistics. Politics came and nothing heard again. We need to know those investors driving IBOM Deep Seaport. Calabar is very close to ECCAS - Economic Community of Central Africa States countries. ECOWAS with Lagos as the economic hub is close to Cotonou ports, Lome Port, Tema and Takoradi ports in Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire port, Senegal port. |
waternogatenemy:Thanks for the summary. You cannot just jump into conclusion without executive summary and analysis. Moreover, what I wrote is just a little part of the preamble - the spiritual part of it. I live in Abuja during Abacha era and very close to the seat of power. Late Abdulkarim Adisa said he was not Minister of Lagos Affairs. They said Lagos would die. They said they will move NPA to Lokoja. They ordered Banks to relocate their Head Office out of Lagos. Obasanjo came he said Lagos is a jungle. |
legitnow1:Lagos can fund itself. Nigeria is exploiting Lagos and making Lagos a dumping ground. Lagos is not getting up to 10% of her contributions to Nigeria. If Lagos were to be Dubai that is just one of the Emirates in UAE Lagos would have been the first economy in Africa. A Colony is part of Britain existing on foreign land. The British made Lagos a Colony for economic dynamics and reasons. In fact, they came to Lagos with Ships (Heavily Armed NAVY) and forced the Eleko (the traditional ruler of Lagos Island - Eko) to sign a treaty . In Africa Union, ECOWAS is the most economically dynamic bloc, after the Southern Africa economic bloc. The ECCAS - Economic Community of Central Africa States with Cameron, Gabon, etc are not that dynamically buoyant. Lagos is the economic hub of ECOWAS. The Ports of Lagos, Cotonou, Lome Port, Ghana Port, Cote D'Ivoire port, Senegal port are very operational and interlink to Shipping agencies. VDM is a Character created by Nigeria. Societal decay has led Nigeria into era of Social Media entertainers called later day activists. It takes High Intellect and Spiritual consciousness to know that Triangular Forces of the Sun, the Moon and the Stars control the universe. That is why Israeli Flag is Two Triangles (Solomon Seal). Lagos has three Physical and Spiritual International Boundaries - the Sea, the Air and the Land representing the Water, Fire and Air . Lagos hosted two Waters, the Oceans and the Lagoon. The Prosperity of Lagos was sealed about 100 years ago with meetings with the Angels by Saint Moses Orimolade Tunolase the founder of Cherubim and Seraphim at the Beach and revalidated unknowingly by Baba Adeboye in 1998 at Lekki 98 Congress. Lagos must prosper. Nigeria as a nation is greatly hindering the potential and prosperity of Lagos Nigeria is exploiting Lagos. |
ricson11:What are the things concentrated in Lagos? Nigeria is exploiting Lagos. If Lagos were to be Dubai, it must have become the first economy in Africa. Nigeria is using Lagos as a Cashcow and dumping ground. The Port of Lagos, Apapa Quays have been in existence before Nigeria came into existence. You cannot force Private investors to locate their investment in places not suitable for them. Badagry Port was being sponsored by Intel Logistics and others . Lekki Deep Seaport was sponsored by Tolaram group and others. DANGOTE is planning to site a modern deep seaport in Ogun State. You cannot force him to locate his investment elsewhere. You cannot force International Shipping Lines about about their routes. |
Apcshit:The Loan Apps are very fraudulent, very fraudulent and that is why FCCPC, NITDA, NCC, EFCC and Attorney General of the Federation must act now before they create another crisis in Nigeria. Already, FCCPC has tried to defend the interest of the youths and few adults that patronize them. Emefiele as CBN Governor warned Nigerians against patronizing online loan apps, he said Nigerians should patronize physically established Microfinance Banks. Economic situation and exigencies make the youths and few adults to patronize them. Few weeks ago, at a Software development hub, group of coders noticed a fraudulent trap set by a loan Apps (Palm-....) on unsuspecting Nigerians in the Apps . After several phone calls and SMS messages begging whosoever open account with them to take loan, they will start begging you to OPEN the App for an offer. The calls and SMS messages run Monday through Sunday. They believed that at least, 60% of unsuspecting or not cunning or open minded Nigerians that open the App will enter the trap. This was observed at the Coding Lab. The Loan offer has been set, if you reduce it and click withdraw, instantaneously, you receive congratulatory message for an amount you never wanted to withdraw at a huge interest. |
ASUU cannot force its members in Private Universities to shutdown Private Universities because Private Universities pay Salaries and are being funded by the organizations that own the institutions. NMA or NARD cannot force Doctors in Private Hospitals and Private Universities Teaching Hospitals to stop working. Globally, it is not done. Private institutions fund themselves. NUPENG should understand that Private Refineries are established with funds from private institutions. They are not under NNPC. |
Dogalmighty17:People talk about US, UK , China, Japan, Singapore and France but failed to talk about how things are done there and about sacrifice paid by some people before those countries get to their present level. The freedom of Association gives individual the liberty to associate with any individual, organization and association within the concept of Law. It is not by force or by coercion. An organization cannot force an individual to accept an employment terms. If the terms are suitable to the employee he or she accepts or rejects it. A Union fights for the wellbeing of its members but cannot force employee to be its member. A Union that will not pay salary cannot impose its conditions on the organization that took loans to establish a paid employment. Yaradua caused this problem. OBASANJO fought a tough battle to sell Refineries, Yaradua came, he played to gallery to discredit OBASANJO Government. The problem is still haunting Nigeria till date. |
naptu2:Mr Taiwo Oyedele, Baba Awolowo in one of his books - Voice of Reasons, said "only the deep can reach unto the deep". Later, I came across it in the Bible. The Tax Reform Bills before it became Act required a very deep intelligent discernment to understand. I remembered Jakande spent only four years which means he spent only 3 active years on projects. Till date, I wondered how much was done under Jakande within that 3 years. In his second coming he would have done the Lagos Metroline and Metrolink before 1987. Someone reminded me - Oodua, Ogbon nbe, eniyan wa. Oodua, Ogbon nbe, eniyan wa. Men of rare wisdom, intellect and substance. |
Eboofa:I can say it anywhere, Anambra people developed ASABA. It is not a hidden truth, it is an open truth. The closeness of ONITSHA to Asaba and the insecurity problems in Anambra contributed about 75% to development of ASABA. Anambra boys contributed about 70% to the development of ASABA. |
Softmirror:I can say it anywhere, Anambra people developed ASABA. It is not a hidden truth, it is an open truth. The closeness of ONITSHA to Asaba and the insecurity problems in Anambra contributed about 75% to development of ASABA. Anambra boys contributed about 70% to the development of ASABA. |
Seun, Seun, thanks. Code 404, topic removed or hidden on Southern Kaduna complaints against El Rufai has been removed. Interesting time. The deletion and removal of topics and postings and suspension and banning of accounts exposed the intrigues and power play at Nairaland. Definitely, there are investors. Moderators have interest. A moderator can push item to frontpage while another can block viewership with Code 404. |
StalwartFellow:Nairaland Code 404: Topic Removed or Hidden. Seun, Seun why not remove the Southern Kaduna complaints against El Rufai from the front page? Why error 404 and topic is still there without any content. |
helinues:May her soul rest in peace. May the souls of other unknown people and those known but without Social Media personality who died in similar situations and circumstances rest in peace. Amen. Having said the above to extend my sympathy to the family of Phyna sister and the families of those that died in similar situations and circumstances , I think it is very important that as Nigerians, the Latter day social critic and Social Media activists should avoid clout chasing. Harrassing DANGOTE the President of the group with thousands of trucks and over 100,000 employee directly and indirectly is not acceptable. May the soul of the lady rest in peace. |
Igirigimercenar:The Ekiti State Governorship election of 2014 where Chris UBA and Security forces bombarded Ekiti and all ACN leaders and activists arrested midnight to the election putting the state on trauma and curfew during the day of election was an example of what a crude and uncivilized people like your brothers can do. I don't blame you, I blamed Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Dr Doyin Okupe. When OBI left PDP after Tambuwal and AYU gave ATIKU the ticket. Presidency battle was solely between ATIKU and TINUBU. When OBI left for Labour Party if OKUPE and Baba Adebanjo had kept quiet and left him alone to drive his Presidential ambition, nobody would be hearing about OBI now because he was nobody politically in Nigeria . Baba Adebanjo and Dr Doyin Okupe took OBI and the IBO Presidency as the battle of their lives and they died for it. Baba Adebanjo did that against Tinubu and the gods of the YORUBAS and died followed by OKUPE the same period. In 2015 Presidential election, Professor John, the then Vice Chancellor of Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun was the Rivers State Returning Officer. The whole world saw the drama. That was after Elder Peter ORUBEBE's drama at the INEC Coalition centre. Amaechi the Governor as at that time protested the result. Tinubu was not in power as at that time. If Wike supported by Jonathan can humiliate Amaechi a sitting governor in 2015 and as a governor humiliated Amaechi in 2023, then, WIKE is a genius. |
Igirigimercenar: |
seunmsg:I have not seen the comprehensive results. I didn't see Labour Party and ADC in the result or is it that they only exist on Social Media? |
SarkinYarki:The GDP per Capita is just paper analysis as development is concerned in Africa. Most of you don't travel, you allow paper propaganda to give false impression of situations. There are many Benin artisans in Nigeria, go and tell that bullshit. Nigeria and South Africa remain the major economies in Africa. |
sreamsense:Seun, thanks. Hope your anti Yoruba and anti Tinubu moderators will not delete this post and suspend me as USUAL? I saw this information on Daily Trust. I also saw it on their Facebook page which means it is on their Twitter (X) and Instagram pages. Definitely, it would have been on various Hausa Radio channels. Another interesting Social Media news media is Oriental Times, an IBO news media. In South West, we don't have any News media dedicated to South West, rather in Punch, they dedicated their editorial against Tinubu. When Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) gave Lagos a loan for Light Rail Project from CMS to Lekki Free Trade Zone it was Mallam Nasir El Rufai that raised alarm thinking Federal Government is financing the project as Federal Government project. I will stop here. Yesterday, passing through the bridge from Doyin (Orile) to Ijora heading towards Costain and coming from Apapa from Police Station to Surulere and coming from Ijora to Costain you will observe the dilapidation of those bridges and roads as a result of trucks moving heavy cargoes to the ports. How much is NPA and Customs generating from the ports? How much is NNPC and DPR and NPA generating from NNPC jetties in Lagos? If Lagos were to be New York or Dubai or Addis or Cairo or Jo'borg would there have been any editorial on money spent on infrastructure in Lagos by Daily Trust? During the Military era, apart from the completion of 3rd Mainland bridge by IBB, there was no any developmental project in Lagos while projects were going on elsewhere. During Abacha, Lagos was abandoned to become a jungle. We need to analyze the projects under Military, the projects under Buhari and the contributions to the national cake before taking decision on the allocation to projects under Tinubu. Nigeria has spent billions of dollars prospecting for oil in the North and still spending millions of dollars till date while private investors use their money and loans to prospect for oil in Dahomey Basin . During the Military, while Federal Government was spending billion of dollars to prospect for oil in the North and steel in Ajaokuta, Baba Yinka Folawiyo staked out his life struggle on AJE Oilfield in Dahomey Basin offshore Lagos to prospect for oil. Daily Trust needs to do editorial on contributions of Lagos to Nigeria before coming out with this propaganda. |
