NkankaCEO:
One political dimension to the Lagos-Calabar coastal Highway is that it will kill the political will and investors motivation to build or develop deep seaport projects in other regions of the country.

The arguments will always be that- if you can move your container by trucks from Tin can, Apapa or Lekki Deep Seaport to anywhere in the country in record time, why spend $2B to build another? This argument doesn't take into consideration the regional development that comes from functional Seaports.

I don't mean to sound tribalistic, but this same subtle economic suppression of other regions is why the Ibom Deep Seaport project has not seen the light of the day. That project is located in Ibaka in Mbo in Akwa Ibom where the natural drought does not need the continous dredging that is required in Lagos Seaports. In 80% of Federal Government's mega economic projects and decisions favours Lagos, I hope indigenous Westerners won't ask why people are leaving other regions to Lagos.

Imagine how relieved Lagos will be if the Ibaka- Onitsha economic corridor is active. And before you blame the State Government, remember that outside investors fundings, 70% of approvals and licensing for Seaports projects come from the Federal Government.

For the Highway project itself, I commend Mr President and the commitment of the Minister of Works, Mr Umahi from Ebonyi.

The Lekki deep sea port is private seaport that was started when PDP was on power.

Excuse, excuse, excuses.
You better sit up.
Or you think Lekki deep sea port started from Buhari?
Do you think Dangote refinery too started from Buhari?
Your governors were pointing fingers instead of doing the needful just the way you're also pointing fingers.
Governors are the reflection of the people they govern.
The people keeps pointing fingers and one of them became a governor and instead of making a difference they continue pointing fingers at others lol.

Kylekent59:
Exaggerating things make the post fake and uninteresting


Come on! We are all humans, who would get paid 650k for 2 hours?

We ain't kids anymore

If you believe that post you need to have your brains checked immediately! I'm so serious about that.

Don't be like the guy above, okay?

Bro, even if it's 9-5 the pay is cool.
People don't earn that much as a fresh graduate

omooba969:
More like some of you guys feel intimidated around accomplished ladies.

Intimidated?
Not me.
So far sey I fit feed myself lol 😂

gassbee:
But why do most fine celebrity ladies find it tough getting married in time

I think women become arrogant when they feel they have everything.
They don't understand what love and marriage is.
The otedola daughter that got married is just an exceptional humble lady.

I didn't read, but whatever you said, you're right. Have a blessed day ahead.

Bye

Good, you don't have to. Your problem.
Same to you.

iLegendd:
Another one: Grammar

Fixed!

Na still your type go dey talk say, "Whatever is 'what' doing is worth doing well."

As I use "what" for there, you like am?

I'm only messing with you because you wanted to act as if you're more mentally sound by saying, "How people think these days." Wetin you want feel like? You dey think well pass everybody, abi? What have you invented to prove it?

Invention, zero. Communication, zero.

Please, don't get me started.

What has invention have to do with typing correct English grammar.
People these days think upside down. Who told you most invention in the world was done by English or with English understanding?
What does thinking straight and properly have to do with using correct English grammar?

Where do you see English teacher invent things in the world?
I build softwares, embedded systems to create solution to problem.
Your own contribution to the world is correcting English grammar as the special assistant to king Charles or as an English man?
After the colonial era is this how you people think?
The next generation deserves better parents to be honest with you.. not what I'm seeing

iLegendd:
"Makes"

Fixed!

Improve your grammar first before we look into your reasoning.

Improve your Grammer?
For language that is not a mother tongue.
People are already messed up mentally

PlayerMeji:
Is it not the responsibility of the government to provide proper waste disposal and management systems for its citizenry?

When these things are provided, it will not be hard for the citizens to adapt to/or adopt these systems. When these systems are provided, government may now jail or fine defaulters who chose to neglect these systems.

The world has grown beyond open gutters on streets and major roads. Even Abuja hardly has open gutters except you go to the suburbs like Nyanya, Karu, Kubwa, etc..

Anywhere you call a City is not supposed to have these open gutters except in Nigeria cities...

Lawma shared waste bill and people choose aboki. Now who is to blame?

PlayerMeji:
When will Nigerian governors learn to build streets and roads without open gutters...?

These things show the laziness on the part of the government, imagine still constructing open gutters in the major roads in the 21st century whereby underground drainage systems have taken over the whole world...

When the citizen stop stealing available covet and manhole covers..
Was in ikoyi recently and i saw police arresting one of two guys digging out network cable in broad day afternoon.

pocohantas:
Then do it let everybody rest.
No rich man is hanging that in his sitting room. Leave rich men out of your shenanigans. Many of them know what to do to ascertain beneficiaries of their trust/estate.

I was wondering why the word rich man. It doesn't just make sense to me

iLegendd:
You visited the rich man that wants to marry you and you saw this frame in his living room, how will you feel as a Nigerian woman who loves to explore?

As a man, is it cool to have such a frame?

What do you mean by rich man . The kind of thing people post make one think about how people think these days

Righteousness2:
The way ISRAEL is destroying TERRORISTS is making the heads of their people to turning turning.


An ISRAELI soldier getting ready to Bomb Hamas TERRORISTS in Gaza, “In memory of Charlie Kirk.”

You're defending the death of children. How will you answer to that?
You're doing for who..?

SmartPolician:
They are not deceiving Nigérians. Nigeria is not even a major iPhone market. Nigerians just make noise. Luxury brands don't make anything for Nigeria because Nigerians are poor. The world's biggest luxury market is the United States; their disposable income is unparalleled.

He thinks those republish iPhones or those second hand we buy are the real deal lol 😂

I remember this soup. I went for a friends wedding at warri and when we were leaving they gave all the lagos yoruba visitor this soup lol.
E remain small make i chop am, last last na only warri people no stop the bus to go bush go shit

The people will not see their governor as the problem.
What kind of this bedis?

Softmirror:
Does it then justify the offense because of probability?!

Where in Nigeria constitution is adultery an offence?
How is this village adultery an offence?

DrRasheed:
If he tries that from roadside salesgirl, there's high chance he's spending the night in toilet.

Moi moi is one of my favorite, but it has to be home cooked or from polish eateries. I won't buy from an IDP on the road for sake of patronage

Northerners hygiene is very poor. During the days of SAPA when I was doing my ND.
I use to eat tuwo shinkafa.
The lady in Sabo will use her hand to pick the tuwo ball and put it in your plate.
I just use to close eye and buy because I'm hungry.
Common sense would have allowed her to wrap them first.
Now the problem is.. other northerners not complaining but enjoying it that way lol.
At least the suya and the rest are best.

Kulikuli at some point began to loose patronage.
My auntie some decades ago went to serve in the north and she saw alot of handicap making kulikuli.
She became disgusted and say none of her children will eat kulikuli anymore. But me I kept eating Jare 🤣 because my garri can't go without kulikuli.
When the Northerners start packaging their meal like they did to suya etc we will all eat from it.
They're dirty food sellers everywhere so we pick from the best. If I see a very classy Hausa restaurant I'll go there.

Let's take kunu for example, Hausa people own kunu but Igbo people took and made it thicker and always give option to add condensed milk and groundnut.
Which makes it more richer.
I always decide to buy rich kunu from an Igbo woman compared to an Hausa woman because the kunu has been repackaged

Kobojunkie:
A controlling man is never a good man for a woman. Go ask your mothers and grandmothers for details on why that is always true. A controlling man ends up reducing the woman he is in a relationship with to a husk of a human.

2. He paid for it; therefore, all of her efforts she put into making sure the ceremony he paid for turns out the best, is to be considered a useless effort? Many Nigerian women struggle with seriously low self-esteem, and that is why a whole load of them end up with men who reason like you do. Very sad situation indeed.

Forget about the emotional story you're trying to sell here.
If women think they deserve better let them pay for whatever.
In the western world women who pay their bills get into a defined relationship and marriage.
Not the lazy ones here dropping emotional punch lines.

Kobojunkie:
It is probably what you imagine your relatives and those around you also do that, so you quietly project it on others.

Women, please stop marrying controlling men. Your worth comes down to whether they can control you or not. And the end is never good as your beings are reduced to near nothing by all of that control. Go ask your mothers and grandmothers for details on that.

Why not put it this way. Women stop collecting bride price. Pay for Dowry instead and fund your wedding 💯.
Don't allow any man to decide how you plan your wedding.

Kobojunkie:
He cancelled the marriage because he could not get his own sister into the woman's bridal train? Would he have allowed the girl's brother or cousin, or male friend, in as one of his groom's men? 😏

Anyways, red flag na red flag! They both dodged a bullet there and should count themselves lucky.

Don't be partial. He dodged a bullet. She missed a good man, because I wonder why a man will fund a wedding at 💯 and still pay bride price?
Is she disabled or what?

Racoon:
What an emotionally touching story of incredible transformation. This is the power of capable, accountable responsible, and visionary leadership.

And not a leadership driven by greed, bigotry, agberoism emilokanism, certificate forgery, ethno-religio-regional sentiments

Nevertheless Anambra is not a good example of what we want. Lagos is a better example

blackbriar:
How about water. schools, hospitals etc.

It seems the only thing the politicians do is roads.

We have serious road problem in Nigeria. Stop talking as if the roads are all good so they should move to something else.

iwaeda:
Imagine a Toyota corolla of N900k in the days of corruption, now goes for N9m, yet he is happy, Nlfpmod, people are getting poorer.

Which year corolla pls. I might wan to get one soonest if you got a dealer's no.

surgical:
By the time Tinubu finish with Nigerians our people in diaspora will not recognise us again
This is why it's not good to support evil because it is not on your side when he was taking Lagosians to death, they said he was generating the highest IGR not knowing what Lagosians were passing through now it's the turn of everybody
Who does not know the trick of making meat to disappear in the mouth, taxing is the easiest thing to do but growing the economy is the challenge

I think it's best this way. The tax lagosians has been paying since should go general make everybody feel it.
Some state governors are not even utilising tax collection like Lagos State does.
When you pay your tax, then you can send an email to the government on why the road to your street is not tarred

Lanruze:
I personally think its a de-service and shame to openly mock Nigerians on the phony revenues being touted by the PBAT regime.

Mr. Taiwo Oyedele -Chairman Presidential Taskforce on Tax and Fisical Reforms that 40% of taxes are gotten from Telecos & Banks alone with also the Customs and Excise Tax that has discouraged people from importation and the few goods that come in through the ports are over-inflated above the reach of the average Nigeria.

This figure is a Tax to stupor regime in with a devalued Naira.

Things are hard because our governors don't utilise federal allocation to doing the right thing.
I don't think we're overtasked. We're just so poor in this country.

iwaeda:
They are taxing to death, yet lies and propaganda. If they generated N20 trillion in eight months, why are they borrowing like graves.

So federal government should not borrow money?
They should wait for revenue and pend project till revenue arrive?
I don't get you

Brendaniel:
Meaning Tinubu has failed to lead the governors by good example, this is the first time in the history of Nigeria that states will be paying more than the federal government, and you people wonder why the country is the way it is and start blaming governors, by standard many governors have done better than Tinubu as president.

Governors are our major problem. Ask obj
Llllllll
