Busy76: 100 or 120 "was said to be" the number of cars in the convoy. Who said that? Were you there? Did you count? Or is this the usual lies? 19 Likes |

Same thing happened to me with the same brand of car. I somehow knew it was dirt at the bottom of the tank which gets stored up anytime I refill. It happened for nearly a year. I just decided to use up all the fuel since they couldn’t drain the rack from the bottom. When I refilled after using up all the fuel in the tank, everything drives perfect now. |

It will be against protocol for both the current president and the president elect to be attending the event together. God bless the president and the president elect. God bless Nigeria. |

Anambra may have come to existence recently but Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi etc have been in existence for hundreds of years. So I don't see OP's point here. 1 Like |

OceanRed: Thank you. Please tell them. It's like you are saying that Dangote is oweing $5 billion while a daily paid labourer is owing N5,000. Dangote likely has the ability to repay his $5 billion because of the amount of dividend he receives from his many business than the labourer who is owing N5,000. In 2021, Lagos state realised N535bn as IGR alone. It hopes to generate N980. 6b in 2022. It has better ability to repay his debt of N797. 304 billion than Anambra state with a debt of N72. 429 billion but with an IGR of N36.58 billion in 2021 and a 2022 projection of N50 billion. 1 Like |

This is definitely not true. OP is just being sensational. NCC does not allow such things by telecom providers. Even when Globacom was owing the other telcos tens of billions in interconection debt, NCC did not allow them to block Glo from their network. This is a deliberate attempt to demarket MTN. The fault has to be a technical issue, most likely from the Glo side. |

As a student of civil engineering at the University of Lagos, I vividly remember my fascination at watching the construction of the Third Mainland Bridge. I would sit down at the lagoon front and observe with rapt attention at how Julius Berger’s engineers and workers were using cranes and other wonderful equipment I was seeing for the first time in piecing together the jigsaw puzzle of what is now the Third Mainland Bridge. What a wonderful time to be a student of civil engineering who loves watching construction works with the same fascination of a football fan watching the Premier League. There was this rumor then that the Babangida government wanted to construct a connecting bridge from the Third Mainland Bridge to Unilag, but the University administration objected to that proposal. I do not know if this was true or not as fake news is as old as human existence. However, I was personally disappointed because this deprived me of seeing the construction of this historical landmark at even closer quarters. I was very delighted when a friend and a fellow civil engineer sent me the brochure of the commissioning of the bridge by President Babangida in 1991. This 11.8 Kilometer bridge remained the longest bridge in Africa until 1996 when the 6th October Bridge located in Cairo was completed. Im delighted to share the brochure of this historical commissioning with you.

Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention. Driving round some important roads in the Lekki axis and increasingly Victoria island, you will not help but notice that the roads are paved not with asphalt, but with paving stones also called interlocking stones. This “invention” for roads in these waterlogged and sandy areas was born out of necessity. Asphalt roads are expensive to construct, do not last long before they fail in spots and even more expensive to maintain in these areas where the water level can literarily be at the surface in the raining seasons. In reality, many private estates have employed the use of paving stones within their estates because or their relative ease of construction and maintenance. They also last longer. Roads in government schemes like the Lekki Scheme 1 and Scheme 2 have also been extensively made from paving stones. However the government of Lagos state took the bull by the horn when in 2013 the state governor Babatunde Fashola directed firms handling its road reconstruction jobs to adopt the use of paving stones instead of asphalt at troublesome spots. That same year the state government purchased paving stones production machines for the Public Works Corporation of the Ministry of Works saddled with the responsibility of fixing street roads. In 2018 the Lagos State Public Works/Drainages has acquired three Road Printer Paving Stone Laying Machines to enhance road construction and maintenance in the State. the Machines were purchased to work on waterlogged areas where Asphalt will not be suitable, saying it will also allow for easy maintenance of work at a reduced cost compared to Asphalt work. Subsequently, some very important roads in waterlogged areas that have been newly constructed with paving stones include. Akin Adesola Road, Victoria Island- The road is located in Victoria Island with a total length of 1635m and was originally an asphalt road. Freedom Road, Lekki Phase 1 Admiralty Road, Lekki phase 1 Bisola Durosimi-Etti road Most of the roads in Lekki scheme 1 and other Lagos state government schemes were originally constructed or converted to paving stones a long time ago. However the use of paving stones for road construction is not particularly new. Over two thousand years ago, the Romans developed a simple system for building roads. Some of these roads are still in use today. Source: http://www.nigeriaconstructionjournal.com/2019/05/01/use-of-paving-stones-interlocking-blocks-for-road-construction-in-lagos/
