Don Magic Juan: Rauf is nothin more than a Muslim/Ifa Alfa/voodoo priest for Tinibu.

If not for the highly jaundiced Lagos press that desperately needs to feed and the daft legions of Osunite Nairalanders here, most of us know better than the "washing" going on in that backward Osun under the state of affairs of Odenni Rauf himself.

Yes it is. Aregbesola is doing a great job(a very great one), but I think he needs to soften his pedal on his policies.

here is a typical example of the school in Osun before Aregbe and presently.

Salvation Army School, Osogbo, Osun state.

Let's hope it's not true.

pDude: So how has this made Nigeria better

-Its creates employment opportunity even from the day the construction began.
-Put Lagos and Nigeria on the list of cities/countries with standard hotels.
-Lagos state tax them, which is a source of income for the state. thereby increasing her IGR where the state get money to execute projects such as roads, bridges, hospitals and other infrastructures that benefit Lagosians.

etc...

[size=14pt] Photos From the Grand Opening Of "Nigeria's First 5-Star Hotel" In Lagos [/size]

The latest hotel in town, InterContinental Lagos, was launched last Sunday 29th September 2013 at Victoria Island, Lagos.

The hotel, owned by the Milan Group had its grand opening done by His Excellency, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), Governor of Lagos State and saw celebrities, political persons and much more grace the event.

The Governor in his speech commended the promoters of the event for their vision regarding the hotel as a welcome development at a time Nigeria is looking for foreign investments to grow its economy.

Speaking on behalf of the owners of InterContinental Lagos, the Chairman of Milan Group, Ramesh Valechha, disclosed that the newly opened first luxury five-star hotel in the history of Nigeria has created 650 direct employments and scores of indirect employment in the hotel value chain.

The grand opening event was attended by eminent persons among whom were Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi; his predecessor, Chief Joseph Sanusi; Lagos State Commissioners for Commerce and Industry, Sola Oworu; Kayode Opeifa (Transport); Engr. Taofiq Tijani (Energy and Mineral Resources); Group Managing Director of Milan Group, Rajesh Valechha; Executive Director, Milan Group, Vikram Valechha; General Manager, InterContinental Lagos, Didier Coeln; Regional General Manager Africa, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG); Maher Nasr and Regional Director, IHG; Karl Hala, Ali Baba, Omawumi, Yemi Sax and others.

Me think we shouldn't doubt FFK anytime he says he hit any Nigerian woman.

All the females that commented on this thread irrespective of their tribes are all tripping for him.

Austine.E:

...some comments are only good for comic relief! Isnt this exactly what the Ohaneze ndigbo are clamouring for!pls read the article again and be wiser when next you comment.

Ohaneze is clamoring for his people.

I'm neither for or against what is coming from the ACF. Buy if we must have equal representatives from the major ethnic group, same must be applicable for the minority tribes i.e. every tribe having same numbers of representatives. The Edos, Ijaws, Yorubas, Kanuris, Hausas, Uhrobos, Igbos, Ilajes, Itsekiris, Ikweres, Ekuns, Igalas, Ibibio etc must all have same amount of representatives.

If the yorubas or the Igbos do not want the Hausas to cheat them in numbers of representatives, they should also not cheat the minorities in numbers of representatives.

SLIDE waxie: This is a good development!

For sometime, av been the only one playing my FiFA 13 and PES alone, but i got worthy contenders after the ASSU strike!

With ASUP now, we can play cup mode

Make ASSU(association of secondary school union) too join o make the game sweet pass.

lwkm....

Soldier of fortune(SOF), HALO or COD would be better, with sixteen players playing with their wireless connected PCs or better still play the online version, it's more interesting and fun because you've got a lot of sharp shooters chinkos and Brazilians to deal with.
forget FIFA where you'll have to wait for someone to lose before you play.

Enjoy the strike

That has not been confirmed. Until we see the mall I don't trust Lagos media.

Good development, shoprite seems to be making a hell of cash from Ibadan people.

Saw the new mall on my way to oluyole along ring-road, few weeks ago when I was in Ibadan for an assignment. It looks huge and good of course. The steel trusses have been fixed, left with fixing of the iron sheet.

FreeGlobe:
There are not many intelligent people on nairaland to see that goof. Trust the Lagos media to swinge into action and hype that failed business decision. Fact is the Ibadan shoprite is not profitable. Trust them to correct the mistake without withdrawing the entire article started on a false and fraudulent premise.

Yet, they are planning to open a bigger mall in less than six month they entered Ibadan. Is that sane to you?

Atouke: All the things that has been attributed to performance in APC states are just gimmicks by this governors to borrow money that their state do not have with the Niger delta oil as collateral, to develop their personal treasury/pockets and that of their god father. while the media sing their praises to high heavens to the detriments of the masses who hear of this their grandiose acts but see nothing on ground to celebrate.

There is no crime in borrowing money, what matters is how the borrowed money is spent. Nigeria's highest oil producing state and the state with the highest monthly allocation, just took another loan of N80billion naira.

In Akwa Ibom State, the Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Bassey Akpan, said that the state government got a loan of N80bn from the Standard Chartered Bank of London, not for the purpose of financing new projects, but to offset the previously acquired credit facility of N50bn from the United Bank for Africa Plc...

The country with the highest standard of living and with the strongest economy has a debt of not less than $1tr, which is even more than her total GDP.

STFU dummie..

And checkout the mindless and bigoted comments, same rubbish we get from you villagers on NL.

Na hate, anger, bigotry and uncontrolled rage go kill you people..

Don't blame the bloger, might be rumor she heard that she published. News from most of these blogs shouldn't be taken serious until real news outlet publish same news.

Gbawe:


......and savvy local investors or budding home-based entrepreneurs who know how to identify opportunities.

Couldn't have said it better.

@post, it justifies shoprite's action of opening another store and even bigger one this time in ibadan.

Because My goodluck jonathan is the president? I doubt if anyone thought of this when Gen. Obasanjo was the president.
Gen Obasanjo's head was even photoshoped into that of apes' gathering, but it was fair then.
But those insulting goodluck jonathan, your jesus of otueke should be punished.

I feel this way of reasoning.
