torkaka:
Benue's internally generated revenue recently hit 6bn naira monthly, bulk of which came from the agricultural produce revenue agents, is the shongai farm in Tai matching to that?

6 billion and it can't afford a decent teaching hospital. Rivers state internally generated revenue from shionghai, risopalm and the buguma poultries not to talk of the others is currently running to 5 billion. Note that rivers state is'nt a farming state. The soil is'nt good for farming.

Sorce:rivers state government website.

Brimmie: To The Lazy Readers, Just Read The Bolded Parts!

MY TAKE:
Fashola knows what he's doing!! He's 100% On-check!! Igbo ppl shld stop being tribalistic and view this issue like a Nigerian. Stop playing cheap politics.

Besides, Lagos won't be the first to transport ppl to their states instead of causing havoc to them selves by getting raped under the bridge, being introduced to Gang (robbers),, being used for rituals... and not causing havoc to the society by polluting it.

It is done in US.. So why crying out lord for God's sake?? I thought the Northerners were the one holding us back, i was wrong!!

[size=20]New York City, Baton Rouge and San Francisco have all tried similar programs. New York City implemented its version in 2007, flying more than 550 homeless people back to their families in places like Paris, Orlando, and San Juan (the most popular destination), according to a 2009 article in the New York Times. Homeless advocates vehemently opposed the scheme. “What we’re doing is passing the problem of homelessness to another city,” Arnold S. Cohen, CEO of Partnership for the Homeless, told the Times. “We’re taking people from a shelter bed here to the living room couch of another family. Essentially, this family is still homeless.”[/size]

but they were not forced out. They were given a choice, and you see how respected they treat them. They flew them on plane, lagos forcefull capture folks and stack them in buses like sadines are drop them on the road side at the dead of night.

This thrend is very very bad and somebody ought to take the lagos state government to the supreme court. What right does any state have to deport citizens of a country where the state is located? So far as you're a nigerian you're free to live in any city you deam fit. We understand that lagos is populated but so is new york but andrew cuomo does not ship americans back to texas,idaho,wisconsin, iowa,nebraska,etc.. Without there consent, and when they consent, they are flown out in dignified manner.there are sane policies that can be implemented to keep only working people in the city and in conjuction with the federal government a policy on destitutes and beggers will also be formulated...but harsh internal deportation is plain wrong.

Osahon7: nr be only ur uncle, ur aunty also join

what is this one talking?

Oko_AGB: ^ lols. So a farm has translated to a developed place abi? U need to see d closed secondary school to dat farm in Bunu community. Lwkmd.

Tired of replying u. Goodluck

a farm? A farm with residential area, recreational area, research institute,offices, a facility that streaches hecters of land where even expatraits live. Yeah, it's very convinent to call it as farm to trivialize it in the eyes of those who have'nt seen it. I'm not tired of replying. Goodluck.

Oko_AGB: I hope you know we are talking abt PH metropolis and not other LGAs. In otherwords just phcity and some parts of obiakpor.

On d v.I.p point, why were resisdents screaming blue murder dat d city was locked down wen PEG visited recently? Dats cos d security on aba road was beefed up and d town shut down

I still maintain dat d city is too compact to serve as a capital city for Nigeria

what do you mean by LGA's? Is ikeja not suppose to be the city of lagos? Everyother area is an LGA that is now pratically incorporated in the city.

Once again, traffic is a major issue in every populated city, i don't remember lagosians jumping for joy whenever the first couple is in town and major roads are blocked..or the infamous floods that shur down that city and caused the government to declare a public holiday..

Port harcourt was never meant to be the capital of nigeria. It was a retreat for the british in nigeria. It was like a little paradise called the garden city. The founding of oil and other commercial prospects blew up the city unless before port harcourt officially was from borokiri to utc at nnamdi azikiwe road. Diobu down are ikwerre villages.

Oko_AGB: What is dis one saying?

Ogoni is a tribe, and Tai is a LGA in ogoniland. Although Tai is d closest LGA in ogoniland to PH, u ve to pass tru eleme LGA to get to tai. Eleme is not a city, talk more of tai. Sakpenwa d capital of Tai is a village. Only notable tins there are d police baracks, scretariate and d huge model college along d east west road.

If u know where Aba is, u won't even say ph is close to it.

Ph, too dirty and compact as of now. Simple

and apparently you don't know that lagos is a collection of local governments. The capital is just ikeja. And who told you tai is not developed? Have you ever been there? Have you heard of shongai in tai? Have you been to ahoada which is more developed than places like mushin in lagos. You have not been to eneka or choba? And when the bonny-bodo road is complete.

Plus, what do you mean by port harcourt is dirty? You have no basis for that assumption. Port harcourt despite it's growing population has managed to keep it's sanity. There are no slums like makoko or ajegunle. Port harcourt population is tripple the size of abia but aba is offensivelt dirty and ph is not. Make fact based arguements.

MRbrownJAY: THE SIMPSONS is (imho) the greatest cartoon characters ever created.

i always felt the simpsons and farmily guy are too adultish.(if there is a word like that)

Hello, this thread is for folks who love cartoons and you'll admit that there have really been lovely cartoons, that touched you even more than movies. Here are my picks..
The lion king - legendary.
shrek
mulan
the little mermaid
toy story
ice age
brother bear.

What are yours? You might have watched them as a kid, or with your kids and you find them lovely.

Wow!! I'm in awe of you mathematicians o. In high school i feared maths more than the devil. Upon graduation, i taught i was free But now i'm studying revenue law and it has come back to hunt me. I wish i could borrow your math skills.

idsamoo: Forestry and wildlife management!

my brother studied engineering in school, while his friend studied the above course. Today they are both NLNG staffs but my bothers friend is earning more as the head of the LNG nature park. Finima. Don't underate any course.

Scarpon: lie the tallest should be the one in one yoruba state forgot the name sha

you have no bearing, Basis or proof of something but you just vomitted it anyways. Amazing!

You missed perhaps the most important "lawyers" in an increasing competitive world with copyright infrigment and lots of stepping on toes. Every company need lawyers to back up and advice them. Infact some companies now make it a must be have a lawyer on it's board. My uncle sits on the board of NLNG and he has served them so well, shell is currently considering him to head their legal team in their war with the ogoni's and other oil spill claimants. The guy is offensively rich.

otokx: Bros please stop joking, Port Harcourt cannot be the same size as Lagos which is expanding into Ogun State.

and what about port harcourt that is expanding beyond ogoni, into ahoada,tai and even nearly aba.

Oko_AGB: A city where scores of companies ve yards in d middle of d city, with heavy vehicles criss-crossing d whole length and breadth of d city on a daily basis. Horns and sirens blaring indiscriminately and everything and everywhere seemingly taking its course from Aba road btw eleme and borokiri. Shut down aba road and ph comes to an abrupt halt because before u say jack, all d smaller alternative routes get gridlocked wit traffic. PH is a compact city sir.

where did this aba road trash come from. I have been hearing it a lot from nairaland and i will not let it become a standard. Have you heard of ikwerre road, airforce road, stadium road, peter odili road and many others. And what makes port harcourt any different from any major city in the world where there is traffic? Plus whenever a v.i.p is in port harcourt, the entire length of aba road leading to the airforce base is shut and the city still moves, so your premise is utterly flase.

Rubbish..give us workable refienaries before dreaming up stupid petrochemical plants. Is it not shamefull that we have three refieneries. Non is working. We keep importing petrol. Very soon, ghana and cameron will buld refineries, collect our crude and sell back to us as petrol.

FAMedia: I am only seeing one not too tall buiding . How could one compare this with the one shown earlier?

my dear, this is a mere dental clinic. For rivers people's teeth. Meanwhile that is a TEACHING HOSPITAL..just weight them with common sense.

ekolina: i can c u kwn nfin, if benue state can get 1/4 of rivers state allocation i tell u benue wll b paradise on earth

why is benue dependent on allocation? How has benue utilized it's status as food basket of the nation to develop it's economy? Rivers state is not a agricultural state but the shonghai farm in tai LGA is amongs the best in the country and pumping revenue into the government. How many facilities like this does the benue state government run? Allocation my foot.

Ola Johnson: The Rivers State Secretariat is comrised of Block A, Block B, Block C and Podium Block. They ten storey each. Some distance to them is the tallest around Government House (Brick House). It is called Point Block, and is made up of three crescent-shaped blocks with their curves backing one another. On them are two open hands facing the sun.
The structures here, including the Ministry of Justice when you're entering through Superbod remind structures in the first generation universities in Lagos, Ife, Ibadan and Zaria. They're of high quality.
Township where the Secretariat Complex is locate is the place I love most in Port-Harcourt. In fact this is the real capital of Rivers State. Notable places, structures, schools and roads here include: Radio Rivers in Degema Street, Nigerian Prisons, Civic Centre Comlex, State High Court, Federal High Court, Bernard Carr Street, Aggrey Road, Creek Road, I.B. Johnson, Police Headquarters, Mosco Road, Bank Road, Nnamdi Azikiwe Road, House of Assembly Complex, Baptist High School, Loco Market, Gbundu, Enitonia High School, GGSS, Habour Road, Holy Rosary Girls School, Comprehensive Secondary School, Stella Maris College, Government Secondary School, Borokiri; Tourist Beach, Zoo, NPA, and so on.

thank you so much for this..did my job better than me.

ujoinme: that you dont know what you are talking about.

what did i say for you to draw such a conclusion,are you ok upstairs?

ujoinme: exactly my point.

which is?

Abagworo: Its only an 18 storey building and not a skyscraper. Once you drive into Abakaliki and turn left towards the township, the building stares you right at the face.

it is still taller with 20 storeys. 18 floors and a two storey exclusive penthouse. The building you speak of should be in competition with the federal secretariat on aba road in port harcourt.

ujoinme: i thought you were going to show the rivers state university teaching hospital.Comparing apple to oranges tells me all i need to know about you. You dont know what a teaching hospital is.

the rivers state university of science and technology is a tech and science school, they don't offer medicine so a teaching hospital is'nt required...but there is a federal teaching hospital at choba and there is no basis for comparism witj this.

Abagworo: The tallest building there is 17 storey and used to be the tallest in the East until it was beaten by the one in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.

there is no single skyscraper in the ebonyi state secretariat. It is a cluster og building and it is still under construction so it has'nt beaten any record.

The rivers state government secretariat is the tallest and biggest government secretariat in the country apart from the federal secretariate in abuja. The rivers state secretariate complex is a cluster of about 6 nine storey building and the principal secretariat which is almost 20 storey high is the tallest building in the south south and south east of nigeria. The buildings beats out competition from rival lagos and kano. They are a highlight of the city and is located at it's heart besides the state government house, central bank, city council, house of assembly, high court..etc

That is a teaching hospital?....this is a mere rivers state government dental clinic.

Nigeria cannot refine crude oil gotten from it's ground but she want's to build aircraft. Stupid people are running this country.

Why is the man in the last pic posing for a picture with somebody's limosine. He could'nt even wait for the person to come out finish. Tomorrow one blogger will blog "nigerian celebrity with his limosine". Crap!!

Look at how decent and normal the wedding looks. Apparently no taxpayers money was thrown into it. Not like madarm first lady numerous thanksgiving services and tinubu's mothers remembrance services. Thumbs up to the frugal couple.

realone2012: What's Fashola waiting for? High time he starts deporting people back to Rivers State too...Lolz

Good Move Guyz....we have to stand up for what we believe in, that's what 2015 is all going to be about. Save Rivers From Anarchy!

where will you find any rivers person to deport from lagos? Rather, it is the yoruba men who have pratically monopolized the port harcourt taxi buisness that will be deported back to eko.
