It seems ACN has become too complacent.
They prolly think they have lagos locked down.
I see PDP giving them a rude awakening in 2015.

CFCfan: After some self abnegation and immolation, I have come to the conclusion that Senator Oluremi Tinubu is the best person to occupy the Lagos state Governor's seat, come May 29, 2015.

Though she hasn't made significant contributions to Senate debates, her poise, charm, charity causes and her excellent political skills makes her frontrunner in d race to succeed the indefatigable Governor Fashola.

If she eventually decides to run for the office, be rest assured that She would become the first elected female governor in Nigeria. She would definitely continue from where Fashola stopped, ramping up the efforts to turn Lagos into the economic capital of Africa. The ACN machine is still a colossus in Lagos, nay the Southwest.

how do you know she has the political skill when she rarely contributes to arguements/discussions at the senate.
What is her political antecedents?
What does she have to sell to the electorate?
Is she not one of those politicians riding on the backs of god-fathers?
What has she done to deserve the governorship position.?
So much for 'progressives'.

enyice: i was told lagos is the smallest state in terms of landmass.


How come it carried out a 52billion naira project and am yet to notice any meaningful impact on the federal roads here.

1. Lagos - abeokuta exp way is in total ruin

2. Mile2 - badagry is a death trap

and the maintenance work carried out on 3rd mainland bridge was done by FG.

Yes, it is true that the overall value of evry 1kilometer road constructd in lagos is 1billion naira, that is judging from the lekki-epe exp way expansion cost.


But my question is, WHERE CAN I FIND THE COMPLETED FG ROAD THAT GULPED 52BILLION NAIRA?
even if its a 52km road, i wont mind. Som1 shud just show me.

don't let ACN propagandists hear you.

Atleast we are withnessing a cleansing by this present govt.
There is no iota of fear,or favour for party faithfuls.
FRESH AIR!!!

earthgreeners: Housefly, the thread is about LASG constructing Federal roads and the FG's refusal to pay up money spent on these road after it has been certified ok by the FG engineers....

It's not a BRF vs GEJ thing cos there is no point comparing a Lion with a tortoise.

Hope you get the point?....

Lastly, Please go read up the RETARDEEN THEORY

was there anytime the FG said they won't pay?

geeez: [b]And the same FG couldn't guarantee LASG's $600m (N60bn) World Bank loan which the LASG never even defaulted in its obligations in the first tranche?

I wonder what the FG does with all its income when it can't fix its roads and as a responsive state government that realizes the economic importance of certain roads, the LASG has decided to fix them and what has the FG done in return? Fold its arms, do nothing as usual but budget money for energy saving light bulbs which were never bought and now mobile phones which will never be delivered.

Instead of distributing bulbs, can't you build micro power plants and instead of giving phones to farmers, can't you buy and lease equipment and land to them at low rates.

This shows a government that thinks slowly like it has admitted but after all the time spent thinking, they still reach absurd conclusions which they smear the face of Nigerians with.

We, the Yoruba people have been advocating for regional autonomy which will give us the license to judiciously utilize our resources for our common good and not contribute to a centre which does nothing with all the funds it gets[/b]

whatever the SW bar lagos (which is Nigeria's economic capital)contributes to the centre is almost insignificant when compared to the SS and even the SE.
If anyone needs Autonomy to move forward,then it should be the SS/SE.

earthgreeners: The above post got me laughing..
Like seriously, solomon111, do you reason with your bu.tt?

Is that the best you can do?
ACN goon.

Yomieluv: The impact of Lagos state on development would have been felt more,if FG contributed its quota to the development. Even at that,Lagos state remains the pride of Africa.

FG does not contribute its quota,yet it has;
1)Upgraded the ports in lagos,while abandoning ports in other parts of the country.
2)Ensured that lagos have the second highest federal allocation in the country.
3)it has consistently paid lagos its allocation without fail(at least under GEJ)
4)It has always favoured the movement of foreign investments to lagos,at the detriments of other states.
5)it has ensured that the bulk of Nigeria's power is available to lagos to aid industries and companies.
6)it has signed various MOUs with lagos state govt to ensure smooth interplay between both parties and to aid trade and investments.
7)The FG is about to start oil-drilling in lagos next year,which would massively increase lagos revenues.
Infact,the FG(under GEJ) has favoured lagos state at the detriment of other viable states.

PortHarcourtBoy: Una say na "Mathematics" thread meanwhile all of una dey speak "English"

Some dey solve Indices, others dey solve Simultaneous equations...very soon another person go come solve Quadratic equations...abi na SS1 students dey here?

Wey the Engineers dem make we solve some First Order Differential Equations...and apply am to Fluid transfer and Thermodynamics

Meanwhile wey my Gala and La Casera?

we dey here o.
But it looks like this thread is for pure mathematians and statisticians.

olasesi: Naaaaaa. 6.2 was approximated to 6...,...
Why didn't u use 6.2....or must u approximate.....

2 and 3 are the answers but it was dubiously gotten

well,that is the beauty of mathematics.
You try and find a way to suit the equation.
6~=6.2.
Besides,even if 6.2 is used the difference in the answer gotten is negligible.

Ehinafe: Richiez:

nice try bro, although you made some some mistakes especially at the point where you took log of both sides. e.g it ought to be log(x+y)= log5 and not logx + logy = log5. but i must admit, you did a very good job.

here's another approach;

x + y = 5.......(1)
x^x + y^y =31.......(2)

from eqn(1), x=5-y, hence we substitute this value for x in eqn(2).
(5-y)^(5-y) + y^y = 31.......(3)
now, we have reduced the problem to what value of y that must be inserted in eqn (3) to obtain 31.

a thorough look at eqns (1) & (2) shows that the values of x & y must be positive integers within the range 0<x<5 and 0<y<5
clearly, y=3
i.e (5-3)^(5-3) + 3^3
2^2 + 27
4+27=31
now that we have established that y=3, we shall substitute the value of y in eqn(1) to get x
recall that x+y=5
therefore; x+3=5 or x=5-3=2
hence, x=2 when y=3

Richiez, how good are you in solving Dynamic Programming mathematical algorithm? I need to know because I have one here that I am not sure you can get the answer right.

dynamic and programming mathematical algorithm are for those studying mathematics as a course on it own.
Though,it's very intriguing,and looks superior to the logarithmic method.

olasesi: It is very essential to understand the meaning of "=" (equal to" ) in mathematics......
If AB=CD,
Then AB+F=CD+F

Therefore if (x+y)=5
only log (x+y) must be equal to log5

Log is another operation on its own

yes you are correct.
My bad.
I tried solving it by loging the x and y individually,and it was wrong.
Log(x+y)=correct.

olasesi: Naaaaa its.the same

x+y=5. Is the same as (x+y)=5

Try the same value for x and y in both equations.....
What do u get.....try 2 and 3

the answer obeyed the equation.
X+y=5
2+3=5.
X^x+y^y=31
2^2+3^3=31
(equation proved)

paranorman: Real gurus here... Wonder where dem statisticians at? I wanna get practical.

I dread statistics.
That is one area of mathematics,i have not mastered.
As far as am concerned,statisticians are the real mathematicians.

olasesi: It is very essential to understand the meaning of "=" (equal to" ) in mathematics......
If AB=CD,
Then AB+F=CD+F

Therefore if (x+y)=5
only log (x+y) must be equal to log5

That only applies when (x+y) is acting as a single variable,hence the bracket.
In the question,x and y are different variables.

x^x^x=log3
x^y^y=log8.
Find x and y.

olasesi: .........hmmmmmmmm.........
.........Quite dubious........

How is logx+logy=log5
How is logx^x+logy^y=log31
Why would you approximate 6.2 to 6.......can't I as well use 6.2......

To solve the above problem,you have to apply the laws of logarithm,since it involves exponential values.
If logarithm is applied in the first equation,then it would also be applied in the second equation to create uniformity.
X+Y=5,becomes
logx+logy=5.
x^x+y^y=31,becomes
xlogx+ylogy=log31.

1stknight: Bro pls I don 't understand how you got the fifth equation.

The fifth equation follows the principle/laws of logarithm.
E.g
1)logx +logy =logxy
2)alogx +blogy=ablogxy.
3)logx-logy=logx/logy

@koruji
guy,go and sit down.
Instead of answering the question,you are shifting the goal post.
What has fashola done with the funds?

Omen100: The gospel truth is that, we southerners are not truthful to ourselves, we always blame the north for our own failures, even when the north have nothing to do with our present day misdeeds. We should hold our leaders accountable for all their actions, imagine a total of $100b has being paid between the last 12years to the niger-delta states & there is nothing to show for it, its only God that will punish any of us southerners that will point accusing fingers up north.

you are a northerner,liar.
@OP
They have good roads and nothing else.
No traffic,no industries,rampant curfews.
Why won't the roads be good when it's not being used.?

maclatunji: You are the uneducated one. Yes you are literate, but your education is not very high, this doesn't mean you didn't go to school- it could just be that you failed/refused to learn.

Whoever is behind it, GEJ must know about it. The implication of him not knowing about it is to imply that a thousand bombs could be placed in a thousand places in Abuja and GEJ wouldn't know about it. Is that what you are saying? If that is true, then I have to ask: how clueless can a leader be?

No matter how you try to spin this, it doesn't look good for GEJ.

I just don't know where to start in adressing your post?
So you mean GEJ must know about every poster/bill-board in abuja?
Are you being rational or unnecessarily biased.

HNosegbe: Whether or not he is responsible for the posters, two things are clear:

1. Jonathan will run in 2015 (his body language suggests so).

2. We will vote him out.

what part of his 'body language' suggests he will run again?
Why give a dog a bad name to hang it?
Besides,he is constitutionally empowered to run again,if he wants.

Why are people here illiterates?
The presidency just said it was not responsible for the posters.
People are just looking for avenues to bash the president.

CFCfan: Exactly. The FG and states should dedicate at least 55% of their budgets to the construction/maintenance of infrastructure, which would further open up more communities/cities to economic activity.

True!
They should also remember the military.
Nigeria's economy is growing but the military is still deficient in modern hardwares.
I don't see why the FG can't use 'just' $2bn from our foreign reserves to buy modern hardwares for the military,given the various security challenges in our country.
They are only looking to embezzle.
Smh.

This governor makes uduaghan look like mitt-romney.
That is how apalling T.ORJI is.

CFCfan: Tinubu's influence in the ACN is still strong, especially in Lagos. The calculation is that in 2015, Fashola would either run for Senate or will be on a Presidential ticket.
Then Mrs Oluremi would be drafted into the governorship race. I predict that the PDP would make it a very close race, due to their recent victories in some LG elections. However, in the end, Senator Oluremi Tinubu will take the Governor's oath of office come May 29, 2015 to become the first elected female Governor in Nigeria. Of course, this all depends in part to whether Oluremi expresses interest in the race.

How long will we continue in the politics of god-fatherism?
This is one of the things we accuse pdp of.
For Nigeria to move forward,god-fatherism must go.
People should win elections based on their antecedents and not because he/she is married or close to a god-fellow.

CFCfan: Nigeria's GDP as at 2011 was $415bn, South Africa's own was $554bn also in the same year.

Na wa o.
The gap is huge.
Well at 2012,the gap should not be more than $80bn-$100.
Anything other than that is a failure on Nigeria's part.

CFCfan: @solomon111 and shymexx: The Lagos and Nigeria GDP was rebased in September. According to Businessday, Lagos's GDP increased to over $55bn; while that of Johannesburg remained at $51bn.

Really?
That's impressive.
Do you know the current overall Gdp of Nigeria,as compared to SA.

CFCfan: I read somewhere that Lagos's current GDP is around $50bn.

lagos is $40billion,jourhanesburg is $51 billion.
Though i would like lagos to surpass them,at least to shut those arrogant south-africans up.

OYINBOGOJU: Where are the Fashola haters....?

I smell conspiracy from Jonathan and other NigerDelta governors.

Tomorrow shall tell

stop speaking like a fool.
80,000 barells of oil compared to 150,000-200,000 barells in most niger-delta states is significant but nothing special.
Maybe this would even free up the niger-delta,and reduce the rate of pollution and environmental degredation there.
The FG should focus on new oil states,and allow the Niger-delta to fallow for the next 15 years.

Actually OP,
You made some minor mistakes in your write-up.
2013 is a year of hissing and shame for sinners.
Olukoya never mentioned the devil there.
