Virtually all kings in Nigeria owns a RR... When I was doing a reportage on Kings and their automobile, I did an exposee on this... These are not the only ones..


AutoReportNG

How many of those Kings have post 2010 Model Rolls Royce like these ones that the OP listed?

Or you want to OP to start listing those that bought their own in 1975?

datola:
Now, we know the articulate Autojosh is an APC chieftain.

The car with the APC flag is different from the one that has the Autojosh sticker. Different colours too.

eyeview:
Its actually under the portfolio of LGAs. But since most governors withhold and use the allocation of the LGAs, they now have to take up the jobs of the local govt chairmen

Which makes it even more tragic. Because it leaves LG Chairmen with nothing else to do but to steal public funds and still remain inder the radar. Its either they scrap that tier of government or they grant them complete autonomy.

A classic case of the more you look, the less you see.

But seriously, looking at the photos, all I see there are interlocking tiles and painted walls. Now, considering that that motor park (Ikeja motor park) is an existing one, which means they didn't buy the land. So, by my estimate, this renovation project couldn't have cost more than N4 million.

Can't the Ikeja Local Government council afford the N4m for this renovation? That is an amount that the park can generate in a few days of activity.

However, like I said earlier, we live in an era of the more you look, the less you see.

Eko ilo siwaju ilu eko lojo wa logun!

OP. You left out one thing. Okada airline was the first indigenous private airline in Nigeria.

fallout87:
Why won't the gutters be dirty? See all the aboki on the street. Jobless, lazy, begging... they will of course make the area less appealing with their waste.

To completely beautify Lagos means you have to remove them don the state and send them back to their homes up north.

Even the international airport is full of them, begging attempting to carry your luggage some even trying to steal.

In higher societies they put regulations in place to curb this.

I think we should train ourselves to take responsibility for our own failures.

So it was the aboki that planned and built the open drainage systems in Lagos, abi?


Maybe you should see the other pictures of some more filthy drainages around Lagos here:

https://autojosh.com/mega-city-why-does-the-lagos-state-government-still-construct-open-drainage-system/


Check them out and then report back here to explain how aboki caused these filthiness.

Bond movies popularized Aston Martin. In other words, the British used their James Bond movies to popularize their auto brand.

Perhaps, we should use Nollywood movies to popularized the Innoson brand.

One thing I would do if I were in Ambode’s shoes is this.

I would build jetties around Lagos in order to take advantage of the Inland Waterways. The inland waterways mode of transport has a great potential to decongest the roads.

Building jetties and acquiring ferries does not cost anything close to how much other mass transit transport infrastructure cost.

Building jetties is far cheaper than building Light trains, Cable cars or even building roads.

If I were in Ambode’s position, I will collaborate with the National Inland Watersway of Nigeria to build several jetties at Marina, Ikorodu, Lekki, Epe, Apapa, Oworoshoki, Ajah, Badagry, etc.

I will then invite the private sector to participate by bringing in ferries. These ferries must conform to the maximum safety standards.

This system will also create thousands of jobs. And I will establish a state agency that will be saddled with the responsibility of monitoring and managing the traffic on the waterways.

If this can be achieved, millions of commuters will be taken off the roads. And Lagosians won’t be wasting valuable man-hours in traffic.

My 2 Kobo.

The No. 23 though.

So Fashola was planning to go to Jankara in Canada to buy "Tokunbo" train for us.

Hian.

No. 24 to 27. I just dey laugh.

Wow. This is very informative.

Kudos, Autojosh.

Amosun is simply unbelievable.

Apparently, the man embarks on projects without carrying out proper cost analysis.

All over Ogun state are projects that are abandoned due to lack of funds. For instance, there are almost 15 overhead bridges that being constructed simultaneously. Some of them are being built across what can be better described as bush paths.

Akute alone has about 3 bridges being built at the same time.

Of course, building bridges are the surest way for people in government today to corruptly enrich themselves.

Sealeddeal:
That's the Garage of Late Senator Nwafor Orizu. I know that garage very well.
Foolish bloggers

No you don't. That is Okiete-Eboh's garage. Some bloggers tried to credit it to Orizu some years back, but it turned out to be Okotie-Eboh's own.

Goahead:
Comparing these rusty and nonempirical jaloppies with innoson vehicles shows the peak of your insensitivity.


Why didn't you include Proforce if you weren't trying to be a snitch?

Bros, from the OP's write up, you can tell the article is tongue in cheek or humour.

Sir, don't take life too seriously.

Odi Egwu!

Na wa. Garage, Motor parks, Bus stops, Bus terminal,etc., they are all getting transformed in Lagos.

I sincerely wish that the Lagos state government extends this their "transformation agenda" to the supply of pipe-borne water to the residents of Lagos state, that is if it wants to be taken seriously as a true Mega-City.


Good one all the same.

AroOkigbo:

Good contribution but that's the level we are at the moment. We'll get there someday. ..let's appreciate the fact that there's a visible project despite the associated stealing. It's still better than stealing everything. ..check most states. ..no such people oriented projects.

Wow. This is how bad things have gotten in Nigeria. We now expect our rulers to steal public funds, so long as they build something. What a national tragedy.

Another tragedy is that 10 times the amount spent on building this Bus terminal will be spent to commission it tomorrow. SMH.

silastemplar:
but is it Danfo that will be using this bus terminal? or only BRT or both?

No danfos or molues. Brand new BRT buses will be launched with this bus terminal tomorrow.

Esejojo:
I must say this is a beautiful project. I hope the can maintain it.

Now, to answer your question. Well, as for me, and looking at the photos, all I see are the building and interlocking tiles.

So, the main cost will be on the building and the interiors. If I was to quote to build this bus terminal, I will quote N100million.

However, any government contractor that wish to win such a contract should also include in his quotes monies for kickbacks and bribes.

So, at the end of the day, such a project might turn out to cost tax payers about N5billion.

This is the very sad reality in Naija.

You have said it all. I wish the government could make the cost of such projects public. At least for accountability sake. Often, we are so caught up in the euphoria of commissioning a project that we dont bother to ask questions like how much was spent on the project being commissioned.


I hope Ambode would come out and announce tomorrow how much this project costs the tax payers.

WisdomFlakes:
Op, those are 'LagBuses'. The 'BRT' buses are the blue ones and are better maintained with airconditioners-. They are under different management. Those Lagbuses drivers behave like maniacs.

Lagbus and the rest are all part of the BRT service. The ones in the picture are franchisees of the BRT service.

odutolasodiq:
Nairaland and misinformation. Information about the confiscation is true, but all the highlighted are not. Besides, that place is not a park; it is a major road, the Okada men impede free movement of pedestrian, If you reside around that axis you will understand better. It's some sort of relief to the pedestrians now.

I was there too. I witnessed it. Yes. The police shot severally into the air to scare off the Okada riders whose okadas were seized. Nobody can ascertain the actual number of police. But they were in very huge numbers.

Yes. The population of Okada is much around there. But what do you expect when there are no motorable roads from Berger to places like Akute/Ajuwon. With the terrible state of the Berger/Alagbole/Akute road, how are commuters suppose to commute to and from work?

With the absence of motorable road or a more decent alternative, this is just a case of government playing to the gallery.

Sunborn Yacht Hotel: Lagos Floating White Elephant - BY Sahara Reporter (Sept. 11, 2009)

Kayode Ogundamisi visits the much-hyped Sunborn One year after)The Sunborn Yacht Hotel was delivered from the UK in November 2008. Despite claims that it would be put to immediate use upon arrival, nearly one year later it remains unused and derelict.

OUR 1st story: Bola Tinubu Named in Floating Hotel Buy For Lagos: Saharareporters investigations reveals that apart from several other projects in which he is either a direct or indirect beneficiary, the former governor has recently been named in a floating hotel purchase that was concluded few days ago in the United Kingdom. Sources told Saharareporters that the former governor, who has been acting on behalf of the notorious Chagourys (late Gen. Sanni Abacha's partners) to corner juicy construction jobs from the Lagos State government, is directly involved in this deal.

Saharareporters investigations further revealed that the erstwhile Governor of Lagos State, a former chieftain of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), arrived London on Sunday (July 20 2008) night leading a retinue of Lagos State officials, traditional rulers and federal officials that included the state commissioner for Tourism, former Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi, and his Federal counterpart, Ademola Kayode (SAN), as well as a plane load of public relations practitioners and avalanche of reporters of print and electronic media, including 5 staff members of the federally-funded Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

Tinubu, who is said to be the beneficiary of major juicy contracts from Lagos state since he installed his crony, Babatunde Fashola, as his successor last year, personally handled the hotel deal said to be worth about $40 Million. The deal, which was initially disguised as a public –private partnership between the Lagos State government and some private entities including a commercial bank, is a bona fide contract between Tinubu and the state government according to the latest information available to Saharareporters. The floating hotel, which was based in the UK before its sale, was owned by a Finnish businessman.

When Saharareporters contacted the Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi in London, he explained that the Lagos State government bought into the “Floating Hotel” idea because of shortage of hotel rooms in the Lagos metropolis. Further, he denied that the Chagourys were involved in the present deal; instead he claimed that the entire transaction was a Private Public Partnership (PPP) between the Lagos State government and Diamond bank, a Lagos–based commercial bank. He admitted to Saharareporters that the deal was worth 22 million Euros but curiously stated that the government of Lagos will not be spending a dime on the project, not even a loan guarantee for the project.

nairavsdollars:
Hypocrite! Were you not the same person showing us a the streets in Lagos with refuse heaps yesterday? Ambode has called and settled you abi? Ogun visit you

How do you define hypocrisy sef? So, if the governor performs badly, we should criticize him. And when we performs well, we should also criticize him? Your reasoning sha.

I think the OP has shown balance in his reportage. He reports both the good and the bad side of the government.Kudos.

You guys just talk like the rest of us dont also live in Lagos. I passed through Ojuelegba every day. Even today when I passed, there was still a big heap of refuse there just like it is in the picture the OP posted. Why cant you people just accept that criticism is good for the government. People like you are the problem of Nigeria. Your kind protect and defend incompetence in government. It is really sad.

yeankhar49:
Wait....you people are just propagating hate campaign... These people are working tirelessly but what do we do? Make ungrateful posts like this trying to pull them down and undermine their efforts. You can take pictures of dirty areas and tag @cleanerlagos on twitter but no... You get paid to sabotage the efforts of Visionscape. Look at the bins everywhere, see their new trucks,see the landfill site at Epe... These people have invested billions into ensuring a cleaner Lagos... But we are so impatient... These people ain't magicians...they are not even up to 1 year and we are labelling them failures.... Whatever happened to the factor of time.

This is creek road, Apapa...i sent a picture to them of refuse heaps and they cleared it in less than 24 hours. That's what we as citizens should do... Help them ensure a cleaner Lagos by tagging them to dirty spots





Lalasticlala seun

This reminds me of one useless man that used to come to our compound to see this girl. The man will come and park his car in front of our gate and block entrance with his car.

So one day when he came I went and put a bottle of ragolis water on top of his car.
I even took a picture of the car and put it on OLX. I put N50k as the price for his 2007 honda. The man get luck that I am a born again. 

Throwback:
When a zoologist wants to use technology to fight a simple case of BMW purchase or income accruable to NNPC that could not be accounted for.


Anyway, the dollars is America's currency, such a huge amount cannot be missing or stolen from Nigeria without America knowing. It is their money, America will know.

-Goodluck "ineffectual Buffoon" Jonathan

What is this one saying?

Every Nigerian president comes with a promise to fight corruption.

He, too, was not different.

So, he devised a system known as the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

With the IPPIS technology, approximately 50,000 ghost workers in the public sector were identified.

And as a result, the nation has been saved approximately N200Billion since the implementation of the IPPIS project.

He also introduced the “cashless” system of money transfer and transaction.

This system was designed to meet up with global best practice of monitoring financial transactions. It was also a strategy for monitoring the transfer of proceeds of corruption.


This system was effective in tracking illegal cash transfers, to the point that MasterCard made Nigeria its regional headquarters for its West/East and Indian Ocean islands zone. Thus raising the profile of Nigeria’s e-commerce industry.


He didn't stop there.


He went further to battle the eternal wave of corruption in the agricultural sector.


First, he placed 16 million farmers on a special database (e-Wallet) of the Ministry of Agriculture. This way, farmers nationwide received subsidized farm inputs without the need for middlemen.


This method radically reduced the age-long corrupt practices in the distribution of fertilizer in that sector.

The implementation of the e-Wallet system saved the national treasury about N50Billion. That is, money that would have gone to some private pockets.

He also took the anti-corruption crusade to the operations of the Nigeria Customs Service.


In 2014, for the first time, using anti-corruption checks, the Nigeria Customs earned as much as N977 Billion (almost 1 trillion) in customs revenue. He effectively shattered the record he set in 2013 (N833Billion).

Till date, this is the highest revenue any Custom regime has ever collected and declared in the history of Nigeria.


Oh, let give a mention how he relieved some of his Ministers for mere allegations of fraud (Stella Oduah) and conflict of interest (Barth Nnaji).


Still, he didn't stop there.

After 12 years of anxious wait by media practitioner, investigators, etc, a law to ensure transparency and accountability in the public sector was instituted.

This occurred when he signed into law the Freedom of Information (FoI) Bill.

By signing this law, he effectively put himself and his government up for public scrutiny.


Meanwhile, a certain "progressive" governor of Lagos state ferociously opposed the domestication of this same FOI law in his state.


Sorry. I digress.

So, signing the FOI bill into law was a victory for democracy, transparency, justice and development.

Also, in order to combat financial improprieties and corruption both in the private and public sector, he designed some technologies and systems to assist in that regard. For instance, the Treasury Single Account (TSA), Bank Verification Number (BVN), etc.


As a result of all these, Nigeria - a country previously ranked by Transparency International (TI) as the 3rd Most Corrupt Nation in the world - improved in the global index of corrupt nations.

First, it improved to the No. 14 position.

Later, in December 3, 2014, it further improved to the No. 39th position.


Till date, Nigeria has not improved beyond that position.

Indeed, this was by no means a perfect anti-corruption crusade. But it was a sincere one.

It was also one with a clear direction. And most importantly, each methods and systems were designed to outlive that administration.


The moral of this story:


The war against institutional and age-long corruption in Nigeria can never be won by crude sensationalism.
