I have taxis running around for me, I know nothing about the passengers my drivers decide to carry.

double0seven: You're wrong; his name is not the grouse. This guy has been in the lime light for like how many years now: at least , at least over ten years, and not once did he give any have hint or even the smallest clue, that he has Yoruba lienage.


That has to be a deliberate act by him. He definitely is not proud of his Yoruba Heritage. Almost everyone believes he is an Ibo guy. Those who think he's not Ibo will assume he is Niger Delta. This guy has been in interviews, he's been photographed with his beautiful family, and yet not once did anything came out even by mistake that he is a Yoruba man.

People will definitely have problem voting for him. There are Yourba Politicians with complete English names, but they've never being mistaken for anything other than a Yoruba man.

once again I ask, has anyone you included tried to ask him where he's from ? I hardly read interviews concerning our naija celebs but I know the pattern of questions will surely contain something like tell us about yourself, where are you from etc so I believe many or most people didn't really bother to find out much about him.
Nigerians just like to scandalize even the most trivial of things sha

coolscott: You call this progress? =N=150 billion naira put into this thing that if you live in Port Harcourt, you wonder where the brains of the initiators where because this thing might not go past Isaac Boro Park from its starting point ( a distance which is just =N=50 by bus).

All the universities in Nigeria went on strike for months for about =N=100bn.

Now what really annoyed me about this project is that this ancient approach to monorail building was totally uncalled for.

1. It costs more to build than present day styles

2. It requires the destruction of other structures around for it to be erected. Modern styles require little or none of these.

So what is the logic in spending more money on something that you need to destroy citizens' structures for and which is currently outdated. It is this reason that makes us certain that this was a very foolish project because the question we ask ourselves is... will they destroy the mile one flyover for the monorail?

Of course they cannot. And if they cannot it means they may have to stop at the flyover having spent 150bn naira on 50naira of distance of travel.

If they had simply done chosen to build the kind of monorails currently obtainable, we will not be talking about this because modern day monorails can even mover through high rise areas almost totally eliminating the need to any existing structures.

I will attach below pictures of such monorails but what really, really annoyed me was that I was informed that the governor was shown these samples by a Nigerian in the US who was part of the building team for these kinds of monorails. So the right thing was pitched to him by a Nigerian with the skills and connections to facilitate the right decision, but the gov turned it down, see the clear differences. I realized that the super high costs associated with this currently failed monorail project must have been the attraction to the project.

Below are pictures of the kinds of monorails gov. Amaechi preferred not to go for

Mr man, they said we should shut up. Why are you stirring the hornets nest ?

Ps I'm not seeing any ugly beams/pillars in your monorail pictures abi Dem lost

Some people will soon blame Gej, Jega and magic ink... Lets meet in court

I don't support this move at all

If you never knew Desmond Elliot was Yoruba then you're not really a fan of his. Like someone asked earlier, how many actors or actresses use their full names ? I know his younger siblings by their Yoruba names alone and never bothered about asking their English names.
We only call or address people whether friends or enemies by the names we've been introduced to and no time has it ever been necessary for Desmond to tell the wider public that his middle name is Olushola.... You guys should get a life abeg

I will rather save my money with akawo people than UBA, I had a very horrible experience some yrs ago and I won't risk my money with them again lailai

Funny even reputable news media have been taking Fake Naija News seriously nowadays ignoring the "FAKE" in the name

Try downloading Truecaller or Mr Numbers then see wat happens

Everything going just as I predicted a while back. Very soon dogs will have their tails between their legs screaming political witch hunting while damning evidences against them would say otherwise.

Very careless statement coming from Amosun, I'm surprised that Lai Mohammed and his cohorts have decided to play dumb on this issue

.

I don't subscribe to violence and I also don't believe this APC angle but honestly some crazy behaviors and utterances deserve some kind of BEATerleaf soup. Well sha, na family wahala

I noticed a place called temporary files in my storage folder, been trying to delete it since to no avail meanwhile its eating into my phone memory gradually. What can one do to solve this issue ?

Still makes no difference to me

Rutheby: Not praying 4 it. Death is the only factor that can seperate patners. Wish i can share some things here.

you can share what you want to but just know that it is only those who are wearing the shoes that know where it pinches

sleekymag: From info I gathered, the arms deal was legitimate and it was a security firm contracted to do the deal on behalf of the FG that ran into hitches. But it's all legit.

pls expantiate

This wasn't any arms deal. It was money laundering pure and simple till Sambo Dasuki comes clean with details shikena

Rutheby: Divorce is not biblical. It's just death that can part away couples. Their oath is 'for better for worse till death do them part'. Didn't they say this at the ceremony that brought them together?

I take it you're not married yet. Just pray you don't get married to a man you and your children will only see once a year for 16yrs, even sailors who work onboard vessels for 3months up have a hectic time keeping their marriages intact. Please you are a woman o, don't pray for what you can't endure

barcanista: No mind am... Meanwhile, who have her digits?

badt guy..
But really I know or have heard of women who sought divorce because their husbands always came home late from work or was always traveling but at least they got to see their hubby na, Anita os saying she sees her husband only ONCE a yr for the past sixteen years. Abeg e reach to vex and I really pity the woman

Rutheby: Stil not a good reason for a divorce. What will they preach after the divorce? Ma Anita should consider the effect of what she wants to do.

are you serious ?

barcanista: I also support you on anything that will be used to fight terrorism must be supported. That is why we need to ask questions concerning this Ayo's deal. For crying out loud blackmarket arms deal is only used by drug lords and terrorists. This weapons may be for BH or Oil bunkerers who knows? It looks too fishy

there are many things we don't know yet, we can only wait for the fg's official statement but personally if I needed to make any black-market arms deal, south Africa would be too far for me to go.

how many military formations would 9.3 million dollars worth of weapons serve ?

barcanista: you justify it because it was fg/ayo? Where is your patriotism to Ijawland(?) and Nigeria? Honestly, I never knew you will go this low

who gives a damn about Ayo ? My stance is clear, anything that will be used to fight terrorism in Nigeria has my support.

PS ; I consider myself as first a Nigerian before any other sentiment

Some people are angry because they know their time is up. There is no more mercy for dissidents in this country.

I fully support this arms deal. BH sympathizers are already running scared like toddlers about to be spanked on the yansh

GenBuhari: Was the photo really taken in PH?

If so, I bow to Amaechi.

I would sincerely advice you not to waste your bow over this particular monorail contraption. At least until you physically see the perfidy being celebrated.

It seems the shout of Amaechi's lethargy during his second tenure has finally gotten to him, I've been seeing a marked improvement on the activities of contractors (minus MCC on iwofe road) handling road projects.
Though I still maintain that the monorail project is a monumental scam capable of sending him into political Hades permanently. That and other graciously silenced thievery's

Let the games begin

electropiz: u knw d military, forces etc even NYSC dont protest, they took an oath of Service....,

you don't have to tell me na, shebi we're seeing lawyers gallivanting up and down now. The highest anybody can do now is to plead for mercy but I doubt that will do much. All I know is that GOC must go in for a very hard fall, the soldiers are also human and questions should be asked about his incompetence and reasons why their colleagues died the way they did.

ISpiksDaTroof: Then he'll get floored mercilessly by GEJ...

I beg to differ. Gej will have a more herculean task trying to defeat Atiku than any of the other contenders put together
