Who knows when we would stop celebrating minor infrastructures in Nigeria?

Nigeria a country where bridges and roads are seen as great achievements worthy of sight seeing.

ceevee2003:
Hi all, I need your advice. I work for an online university that pays USD equivalent 230,000 as per today's aboki exchange rate. Now, just recently my immediate supervisor was sacked and replaced by an Indian lady who is making the work so difficult to the extent that I hate remembering work. I have been in this job for close to 5 years and I have never felt this bad about the job. Right now I feel like quitting and focusing on my other hustle, although this will mean halving my monthly income. Anyone with a similar experience to share, or advice to give?

Petie33:
I just weep for Nigerians on how they think. because you are opposing the government should not make you hate your country because if Nigeria �� fails today we all fail not only the government but the people too


My very first, ftc thanks to mod

So arresting Amaechi will automatically complete the project.

That means Jonathan should be in jail for all the inflated uncompleted projects.

Like someone suggested.

Wike should have carried out some reassessment of the project.

Contract it to another firm or same firm after renegotiation probably at a lower value (if indeed it was inflated) and give a comparative report.

Imagine that monorail from oyigbo to borokiri or rumuola sef ..

Omo.. wetin person dey go find for road!.

Do you know how much Godswill Akpabio spent on Sheraton.. Is it not Udom Emmanuel completing it.

So they should have arrested Akpabio first before completing it

joedave:
One wonders how many here, are lashing out at Amaechi for the perceived staggering amount budgeted for the project and thus technically commending Wike for non continuity. Forgetting that it's commonwealth and well-being at loss. Same will criticize Sanwo for completing only Ambode's projects and yet to kickstart his own. Even Bubu as erratic as he is, completed many past administration's projects. Wike is not showing tact and brinkmanship doing this!

Obijulius:
Inspite of all his shortcomings the man in Abuja is not the only problem.

This one na southerners de do themself.

The problem of southern Nigeria is its leadership not Hausa/Fulani.

***modified for those blaming northern leadership***
If any southern governor is able to fully utilize at least 95% of their monthly earnings into their state, that state would comfortably compete with the likes of Johannesburg in terms of development.

That’s how deeply corrupt all our leaders are.

Make una de think! Your leaders are your problem!

vedaxcool:
Nigeria gives many incentives for Investors but yet the same crooks never solve any problems only how to cheat the system and repatriate their profits abroad.

Hezzyluv:
Is a common thief. But uproar in South Africa, properties distroyd lost of lives n more to come perhaps. Should they continue like that Mr. Saint? Government is for the people and majority of the people said free him.

Hezzyluv:
Let them just discharged this man for mild peace to be restored in South Africa

FILEBE:
Yes. True. There was a time they wouldn't allow states to generate their own electricity and if they do it will be added to the National Grid.
Seems the Federal Government wants to control all resources themselves

duality:
But GEJ left it at 5000 MW.
So what's been happening.

FILEBE:
Na so. After they will give us another news that it has dropped.
Can someone explain exactly why we can't have stable power in this country? Is it Rocket science? If other countries are doing it why can't we? We hear lots of money is being pumped into it but nothing to show for it. The privatisation sef, I don't know if it helped or made things worse. All I can say is the the Ekedp customer care are the best I have seen in the customer care business in Nigeria(might be exaggerating ). But they are good. Call th for a complaint and you will get a feedback and work progress on your complaint .


Our leaders are just plain callous, Wicked. Heatless , bombastic element. We just have dummy ministers. At least work your best on a sector. Pick one and make it work . Corruption won't let them see road...

May the stress and burden they place on citizens be placed also on them too. Amen.

Officialgarri:
Planes are beginning to fall even when not at war.

Is it incompetence, negligence of weather condition or poor maintenance?

Can't be maintenance because a whole COAS would not fly in a poorly maintained aircraft

Nigeria defaults on Mambilla's $200m settlement agreement, incurs heavy penalty. For multiple defaults on a $200 million settlement agreement it willingly entered, Nigeria now faces about $500 million in penalty over the botched $5.8 billion Mambilla hydroelectric power project.15 Jun 2021

MAURI:
Hi,

Kindly send a dm. I was involved in the project when my company was moving jobs to India. We still make use of their services in India, but now through Tata as 3rd party. As someone rightly noted, Tata is very big in this business. Most of the India IT experts (Infosys et al) in Naija are also through Tata. Nigeria should actually have looked into this opportunity long ago, considering that we have a huge pool of young graduates. It's a big source of forex inflow and knowledge transfer for India.

Emeraldfynest:
Good morning. I will soon be undergoing a digital training on Business Process Outsourcing, I want to know if there is anyone familiar with this field here on Nairaland.

What are your challenges? Can you work remotely for foreign companies? How lucrative or saturated is the business?
And any other thing as I am a complete newbie in this. Thanks.

VALUATION

A project that started as a 9billion dollars project is now being valued at over 16 billion dollars, albeit incorrectly. Sampling expert opinion from leading players in the oil & Gas industry, it is estimated that a refinery of that size should ideally cost within the range of 11 to 12 billion dollars to build in Nigeria. Notwithstanding the conflicting figures, it was recently announced that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, will be taking a 20% stake in the uncompleted, non-functional Dangote Refinery at the cost of 3.8billion dollars. Whilst this baffled many, NNPC’s actions effectively over-valued the yet to be completed refinery to 19billion dollars.

Lifestone:
Why don't you call those European countries a joke.
It's cynicism about your country. Let's stop that. We have only one country

wellmax:
You got to be kidding, so there is a fence the entire length of the tracks.

Even here in Nigeria, there are fence at train parks.

Lifestone:
This happens all over the world including advance economy of Europe.
It's called an accident. Let's stop dizzing Nigeria

raker300:
Nigerians has got to be the preposterous ppl on earth and here’s why:

Their govt has successfully deluded them that their enemy is ipob amd Nnamdi kanu.

That way, the govt is comatose to her responsibilities while the ppl are successfully distracted by something that doesn’t even concern them.

Aren’t you all bemused that Nigerian govt spent/borrowed billions of dollars under the charade they’re fixing rail in Nigeria only for them to present such subpar rails?

Why aren’t the populace holding the govt responsible?

Oh, they’re pusillanimous once it involves the govt Bt prolific when ipob/igbos are involved.

Saifullah01:
Truth be told Buhari is trying (just like Jonathan before him and yaradua before him - this I have realised). But you see us Nigerians we are the enemies of ourselves (Nigeria).
How do you explain the fake drugs, fake school certificates, substandard work by contractors, bribe collecting civil servants at the expense of their jobs, sex for grade Lecturers, grade for sex/money students and the list of our vices is long and ever growing with the passage of time

Flairoqy:
Which of them should be the utmost priority?
I know electricity is as important as transportation.

Flairoqy:
Don’t you think security issues should be addressed as a priority before transmission energy? More railway means less vehicular movements and more accidents free highways, and it’ll repress roadside terrorism too.

mrvitalis:
It makes really no Sense from an economic point of view for a broke country with Nigeria

Spending billions for a rail that would contribute less than $100 million a year to our GDP

But investing $4 billion dollars to our transmission line that's controlled by the federal government would push our transmission capability to around 12,000MW and since we already have that installed capacity ...power generation n production would average around 10,000mw this would double our current state

Benefits millions far more than rail

Contribute over $50 billion to our GDP

Any professional courses, certifications??

LegalWolf:
Bro, long time no see. Have you used your pills coz the effect is telling. Please try and be taking your pills as at when due to avoid embarrassment like these.

Then to the matter: Who told you I don't condemn these barbaric bloodletting in the North? How many of my posts have you gone through? What the heck gives you the impression that I support these rubbish going on in Kaduna or? Who even told you I'm in support of El-Rufai? Is all 'suspected Fulani attack' actually carried out by ethnic Fulbe? If armed robbers come to attack you in your house, and the speak pidgin, how on earth do you know their ethnicity?

See the point is: I'm not saying they're no Fulani criminals. I will be stupid if I hold that view. But, as we have been proven time and time again, It is not all what the media says is true. And for the record: if those that carried the attack are ethnic Fulanis, I support that they should be caught, tried and if convicted, sentenced appropriately.

seunaj:
If you are a southerner and you don't believe in the Fulani invasion of Nigeria and the the fulani agenda then you are a big fool. I see alot of too know educated southerners calling the Fulani hegemony a conspiracy theory. Unfortunately, the southerners don't have any agenda and we're trying to be liberal with the North with demonic agendas. The plot is to eliminate the last Christian standing in the North and then invade the south with full force. Buhari has set the ball rolling for the Fulani to complete the agenda and I can guarantee you that it will be difficult for his successors to stop the agenda even 20 years after Buhari is gone. As far as Buhari's mission to Nigeria is concerned, Buhari has a 99% grade score.
To my hausa brothers, you have sold your birthright, your freedom and your land to the fulanis in the name of religion. I urge the Yoruba Muslims not to fall for the religion deception. Remember that when the fulani took over the North from the hausas who were supposed to be their Muslim brothers, they didn't give them any seat on the table of discuss and that's why in the North today, the chief imam, the Emir, the governors and most of the senators are Fulanis! So, where are the hausas?? The hausas are the ones loading cement into Dangote trucks, shoe cobblers on your streets and soak-away diggers in your communities. The fulanis have ceased all the top positions that were originally meant for the hausas and rendered them their modern slaves. You will ask me how many hausas are in Buhari's appointment?? It's a fulani government but it's fine, I can't cry for the hausas if they can't cry for themselves. This tells you that this situation is beyond religion, it's an invasion covered in religion. Southerners think! Think! Think!

Thus, Buhari helped the unrestructured Nigeria to confront its foreseeable future. That is Buhari’s first legacy.

Here is Buhari’s second legacy: It may not be clear yet to the Fulani people, but Buhari’s presidency has damaged them more than any other group in Nigeria. Buhari’s inability to have an objective view of what leadership entails in a diverse country like Nigeria and his propensity to side with his Fulani people even when every donkey could see the bias undermined the Fulani deeply. He diminished whatever legitimate claim they have in what is clearly a fast-moving degenerative Nigeria’s structural carnage. The Fulani were better off in Nigeria six years ago than they are today. That is Muhammadu Buhari’s second legacy.

In the context of Nigeria’s nationhood, Buhari’s second coming was a necessary evil: He came, he saw, and he hastened its ruination for everyone.

If Buhari had not been president, Nigeria would have been ‘managing

On Thursday, 28 July, 1960, less than three months to Nigeria’s independence, the British government triumphantly informed the parliament in London that “the constitutional framework” for Nigeria  “is a Federal Constitution, in which each region is self-governing in its own field.” It added that “the Federal centre, of course, is responsible for defence, security, external affairs and other matters which concern the whole of the country” while “each region has a separate judiciary.”  The official who briefed the parliament was full of confidence that the structure that had been worked out for Nigeria would guarantee its unity and stability. He said “The Constitution, as we have worked it out with the Nigerians, has seemed to us to be workmanlike and fair, and to be a structure which will give confidence both in the regions and to all the races in the country of Nigeria, and will contribute to that political stability which is so necessary if the economic development of the country is to proceed as we should wish to see it. The Constitutions, both Federal and Regional, will be made in an Order in Council and Independence Day will be on October 1.”

The Federation of Nigeria was born on October 1, 1960; it soon abandoned the pact that welded disparate parts and thus wrecked its destiny. The centre, as it does today, became interested in what was not its business. Those who kidnapped the Federal Government thought they would not enjoy their prize unless they enlarged their coast and overran the south, particularly the West. They forgot all the years of toil and travel, the negotiations and the agreements that kept Nigeria as a federation of equals. Nigeria became an evil tree bearing fruits fit only for its like. There was a civil war; today there are wars everywhere you turn. An adherence to the rules of federalism would have built wealth and prosperity according to efforts and fate. It would have energised the security system to take care of the deviants and their sponsors who today appear resolved to sink the ship with their criminality. If criminals have effectively taken over the whole of northern Nigeria’s 660,000 square kilometers land mass and the south trembles in the frenzy of insecurity, it is because there is an Abuja that is not supposed to have the powers it wields. When everything is spiraling out of control as it is happening to Nigeria, my people would look into space and intone: Aye ti ba je (the world has gone awful, grim, parlous and bad).

The medicine man told his patient: use this as prescribed so that it will work as it works. The Nigerian Abiku would probably have lived as a normal child if we had not fed it the poison of unitarism. We turned the system upside down and still think things would function normally. We were given a federation; today it is the opposite of what that concept means. The daily deadly threats to peace and security; the pangs of hunger, starvation and the drought of good life are all products of Nigeria’s structural defects. What will kill Nigeria is right inside its being; it is its pig-headed obsession with what is not good for its health. We either restructure this house, rebuild it on the wisdom of its original design or it falls on all of us. The earth around it is sinking already.

PRETORIA, June 1 (Reuters) - South Africa's unemployment rate rose to a new record high of 32.6% in the first quarter of 2021 from 32.5% in the final quarter of 2020, the statistics agency said on Tuesday. The rate was the highest since the quarterly labour force survey began in 2008.
