teskyg: 7 Governors can not decide for Nigerians.God will decide who rules from 2015.

Politicians keep distracting us.

zaandrew: Sorry how did you help? Please love it when nigerians try to ober hype the littel and mostly irrelvent asstiance.

Awake9ja: fresh AIR. Yet they say Gej is not working.

When you hate a man with passion even Golds from him will look like dust to you.

software man: Here we go with the crap from Jonathan people again. When obasanjo was leaving me paid off all Nigerian debts and still left billions of dollars in foreign reserve.

Incompetent , corrupt jonathan squandered it all and now we are in greater debts than we paid off.

in desperation to win in 2011, he corruptly increased fuel subsidy from 250 billion to more than one trillion!

Jonathan is not only weak, indecisive and incompetent. He is also very, very corrupt!

Sincere 9gerian: The opposition has always been in control of the house of reps since Tambuwai defeated the PDP candidate in 2011. So NOTHING has changed.

It can only make a difference if they'll attempt to impeach the president BUT they CANNOT. The NASS cannot attempt any impeachment process. The worst they can do is the usual noise making and delay passage of important bills. All these charade is just for noise, noise and more noise. The renegade PDP members are all over the courts seeking for one relief or the other. Its noise, noise and more noise.

GEJ has full control of PDP structures and would win the primary election any day, any time. That is what matter. The president has enough time to erect new structures in those few states for the purpose of securing atleast 25% of votes cast in 2015 elections.

Meanwhile, all the names on that list are house of reps members loyal to one or more godfathers who LOST OUT in the PDP power play. Its either they'r loyal to Atiku (who lost out in the entire PDP power struggle, first in 2007 and again in 2011), OBJ (lost his position as BOT chair, his loyalists in the PDP leadership were sent packing), Oyinlola (an OBJ man who lost his position as national secretary of PDP), the seven governors (lost out in the struggle for PDP presidential primary ticket) and IBB ( lost out in the PDP since the days of OBJ). Some of the legislators lost out with their home state governors (who are not members of the G-7).

So in essence, these are collection or gathering of LOSERS. To make matters worse, some of these LOSERS have fought each other at one point or the other in the past. For instance, the current governor of Adamawa state and Atiku have fought and badly injured each othe since the days of OBJ and even as recently as in 2011. These LOSERS maybe united in wanting the down fall of GEJ, but they cannot even work together for more than a few weeks.

While it is imperative that the president and other party leaders should try to resolve RESOLVABLE differences, since no political party would be happy to lose any member, the president cannot lose sleep over the shenanigans of some LOSERS. Unresolvable differences will be settled at the general elections, where the Nigerian people would have the final say.

The president was present all through yesterday at an event organised by Nigeria Economic Summit Group and did not appear to be losing sleep over the antics of these LOSERS. With the PDP primary ticket already in the bag, all the president has to worry about is the general elections and how to continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the Nigerian people, who careless about the antics or tricks of some loser politicians.

The ongoing fight amongst Nigerian politicians is at cross purpose with the desires of the Nigerian people. What Nigerians/the man on the streets care about are reforms that'll make their life better. They'r eagerly awaiting conclusion of the power sector privatisation, more progress in the rail transport system, construction or repair of more roads, resolution of ASUU strike, completion of the ongoing standard guage rail lines, fast tracking of work on Abuja light rail, more dividends from the agric reforms, more job opportunities through more initiatives like YOUWIN,etc,etc.

Meanwhile, it is difficult not to note that over 95% of those lawmakers are from the north. The born to rule mentality. From 2011 till middle of this year when State of emergency was declared and Shekau killed, the president was distracted with Boko Haram. Now that Boko Haram appear to be going down, they'v resorted to other dirty antics. Well, the end will justify the means and POSTERITY will judge everyone of us.

berem: Of course a clueless and incompetent government cannot fund the power sector and Education, Why? Because clueless people are allowed to rule this country. Belgore, you were right after all!

Sincere 9gerian: We'r better off, atleast we celebrate GOOD news. But why do you celebrate BAD news? Are you a witch?

ik4life: He knew that but never said such when he was promising heaven and earth in 2011 coward

kingoflag: "Appetite" instead of "Apartheid", "Sat Africa" instead of "South Africa"...and that's one of the best speeches uve ever heard? why do u guys love mediocrity so much?

[b]THE Ogun State Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) may have achieved an outstanding feat in streamlining the period for clearing cargoes through the Idiroko Border Post, keeping this under an hour.

This is a great improvement on the previous time-frame of about one week it usually took to complete the process of taking imports out of the Command, which links Nigeria with Benin Republic, to other West African countries, and further afield.

Checks at the Command revealed that most consignments, especially vehicles, bearing correct declarations through self-assessment by importers or agents for payment of import duties, are promptly processed by the Customs personnel through the Automated System for Customs Data Plus-Plus (ASYCUDA++).

It was gathered that, once a particular cargo has been valued, scanned and the correct import duties recorded as having been paid on the consignment, and where no discrepancies are detected during the examination process, the cargo is then immediately released to the consignee or the agent.

The Customs Area Controller (CAC) of the Ogun State Command, Comptroller Ade Dosunmu, explained that the effective use of ASYCUDA++ and the cargo scanning machine facilitated the improvements recorded in goods clearance at the Command.

Idiroko Border Post, according to Dosunmu, is the only one out of similar outposts in Nigeria, where you can make your correct self-assessment and have your documents processed, for the clearing of your goods within an hour.[/b]

The CAC posited that the encouragement given the personnel by the Command since his assumption of office as the CAC served as an impetus for them to be more committed and effective in doing their jobs. He said they have justified the increases in their salaries and improvements in their welfare, as well as other incentives, by the Comptroller- General of Customs Dikko Inde Abdullahi.

Dosunmu said the fact that he has keyed into the seven- point agenda of the Customs chief has made it possible for him to ensure that the Command’s operations were carried out at a faster pace, to encourage more importers to use the border post and thus increase the revenue accruing to the Federal Government from imports.

The CAC assured that, once an agent or importer does the self assessment correctly at the Idiroko Data Trade Input (DTI), with a view to paying the right import duty on the cargo, there would be no basis for any delay on the part of the Command in ensuring that the consignment is promptly cleared.

He pointed out that while the Customs personnel have the requisite up-to-date training and are more committed to their work, the new strategy to enhance clearing of goods that has been introduced would certainly enable goods to be cleared within an hour at the Command.

Dosunmu disclosed that, since officers have been warned against undue delays in attending to documents, while bottlenecks militating against speedy clearance of cargoes have also been eliminated, the Command was already working towards completing the clearing processes in less than an hour.

He commended the Customs chief for the improvements recorded by the Command in its operations, noting that the provision of adequate logistics by the Customs Headquarters facilitated these, even as he appealed that the Area needed more encouragement to enhance its performance.

Lagos International airport have no runway light -- Pilot

Venchy: Well, it all sounds great but they seriously need to sort out the issue of soap in the toilet as well as the shameless Beggars called IMMIGRATION OFFICERS and CUSTOMS, they should all be sent abroad on for CUSTOMERS SERVICE courses, they lack manners and very arrogant, all Nigerian citizens deserve a warm welcome rather than been harassed by Government officials representing the country, they are careless about all this values but money....DANBANZA...Excuse me of my french.

Nigeria is lovely country and the people are very welcoming but WRONG SET OF PEOPLE IN CHARGE is killing and driving lots of potential investors away.

God Bless Nigeria.

Sincere 9gerian: This is why I like @Gbawe. He saw the good news (BAD news for him) on this thread and left dejected. I hope he manages to have dinner tonight. Subsequently, he'll be visiting this thread as guest. Lol..

berem: Case closed!! I hope this matter dies a natural death.

Venchy: I was in nigerina this yr February, all the immigration area was in turmoil as well as the Baggage area of.

Please don't take this as an offence but if you travel a lot you'll realise that we have no leaders but thieves.

How can you not have SOAP in airport toilet or TISSUE, below standard, it's a disaster.

This is why sometimes the conversation on NL reflect the lack of exposure of some people, people are constantly defending indefensible.


There's a difference between EXPERIENCE & HEARING about things, people argue about what they have no knowledge, that's beyond me, even Ghana, passengers DO NOT PAY for Trolley let alone in Europe.

MM car park it's a misery to me that NIGERIAN most popular airport has no Ordinary car park let alone SECURED where you can leave your car for days, wk or months.

We are a joker and Majority of NIGERIANS lives in denial if you know what I mean.

chucky234: Nlanders said I hate GEJ When I said those remodelled airports look more like shopping malls,the fact that they were all remodelled in 2013 makes it more annoying.

chukwudi44: Why don't you cowards start burning up the country now so we will take you people serious

Venchy: Is that all it needed Mr spokes Man, what about soap in the toilet, Air-condition,Standard conveyor belt, standard car park [Short/Long stay], Passengers shouldn't have to pay for Trolley, it's always inclusive everywhere I have been but always different in Nigeria. Even the walk way from the plane to the Immigration area is not well Lit as well as the harassment given to passengers by both Immigration and custom officer, asking for money constantly, wetin you carry, wetin you bring as if they are not been paid....Abeg MM is far from STANDARD.

Abeg Nigerian Government knows how to enjoy the best things within themselves but they lack STANDARD and CLASS.

Local Airport is by far a better Airport to MM International....I am not surprise that we are not included among 1-10 in Africa, absolute HUMILIATING SHAMBLES.

asha 80: i suppose ask you as someone that speaks for the present government.

Abagworo: In what way have Yorubas or any other tribe or religion stalled the growth of Ijaw ethnic group? Jonathan has been President for 4 years and has not done anything on East-West Road but when Amaechi complained, he started fighting Amaechi. He has wasted 4 years that could have been used for

1) Massive infrastructural development of the Ijaw area

2) Connecting Ijaws to other Nigerians through East-West road and Coastal road projects.

3) Conveying an SNC where Nigeria can be discussed and our way forward determined

These are as easy as ABC.

asha 80: only that onitsha river port would bring out the full potential of onitsha.

emmysenior: And why is that guy surprised? He be like: Baba no no no...
