The 11.9Km 2NB hydra-headed conundrum, will it ever end? Time shall tell.

First it isn't an igbo project, but Nigerian project, it gonna affect the socio-economic developmental fabrics of the whole country and beyond in the sub region,
We are running on a very huge gap of infrastructural deficit in ratio to our explosive population growth, it would be penny wise pound foolish to politicize critical infrastructures such as this.

If Nigeria was on right track since the proported inception of 3Rs at the end of the Civil War, then today we should be discussing 3rd/4th niger bridge. This is one of the pertinent reasons calls for dismemberment is being regurgitated till this day.

There have been too many miscalculations taken by past successive governments, as they chased investors in the oil and gas sector, telecoms, etc, they never deemed it fit to beam their search light on investors that will bring private capital into road infrastructure and we are suffering it today,


Another dimension, is the issue of policy somersault, and discontinuity,
Tolling or no tolling, we need to see things for the realities they pose in our faces without primordial sentiments, if we settle for tolling, then uniform tolling it should be for all projects of such magnitude henceforth, and not having unequal system.
Today government comes in begins a ppp with its conditions, another comes in and overhauls it all over, and the circle continues, there is scarce of resources, but due prudence, management prioritization would have done us a whole lot of good,

Now there comes the issue fluctuating exchange rates,
The more inflation and exchange rate fluctuates, the more the ppp arrangements price tag fluctuates.
Which would lead to constant renegotiation of the cost for execution. Like the controversial flexibility of deeping fingers in the ECA,

Another angle to this debacle,is default and disloyalty on government's part to stay true to the contractual terms by ensuring it makes true her commitment to paying the agreed counterpart funds for the execution of the project. Contractor gets discouraged and dismayed by government's inability to contractual fidelity, Here comes the depropriation of infra-funds, snail speed passage of budget etc

Another headache is compensation, there were insinuations, land owners weren't dully compensated, and this usually snowballs into legal battles.

Today some states are still indebted by the federal government, hence they regretting why they took loans to embark on federal projects without being reimbursed. And our poor structures has overburdened the lackadaisical federal government with bloated responsibilities,they now seem incapable of handling which gives the credence to the question of restructuring being overdue.

Finally, the only way forward is forward, whether the present government re-emerge or not, the project got to move on.Time is money and we already late .

Politics no be everything, make we no dey politicize national security and infrastructure, because we dey hurt ourselves by ourselves and our unborn generation.

Happy Sunday you'll.

It was a shit test from her... She flooded your door step with virtual feelings, to really know if you would start licking her ass, and you did eventually, even in the most embarrassing way by going too far asking her out... You should have just skip that process and start acting as her boyfriend already, asking out put too much constraints and pressure on a potential friendship with a gal...
I will say cut your losses, have the I don't care attitude, take her as if she is just like any other gal you meet everyday, rather still, create a bond with another gal, kill your emotions for her.. Some of this women ain't shit fam

Banmeallday:
Oh so you are acknowledging that there is Biafra after all. Maybe you will join in the call for referendum so the “Biafran” senators can get out of the Nigger Area and leave the Nigger Area politics alone abi?

After all, the Nigger Area is happy to have a coupist and military dictators of yesteryear leading their democracy in 1999-2007 and 2015 till date. The Nigger Area loves having their presidents and Senate presidents go abroad for medical checkups for 100+ days, and love having lazy youths.

The Nigger Area loves sending herdsmen anywhere to kill and destroy, have terrorist like Boko Haram bomb up and down, and then talk of immunity, scholarship, settlement, amnesty, and legislative bills to support them.

The Nigger area loves for their IG of police to kick against state police (something normal in serious countries) and ask for arms to be taken away from citizens. The Nigger area loves their VP to attend weddings and birthday parties paid for by tax payers when the economy and suffering is more and more widespread....

SO yes, let’s see how the “Biafran” senators will pull it off

fulaniHERDSman:
Tell that to Benue people .... useless statistics that does no suffering Nigerian any good.

The Lanky skinny old Jinn in Aso Rock must resign .... Nigeria badly need a whiff of fresh air from the dullllards fowl stench.

KanwuliaExtra:
Forget the SOUTH and EAST in Nigerian politics. They can only make significant impacts n “NOLLYWOOD” or with “OBIANO MUSIC INDUSTRY”!

OBJ’s plan failed and Tinubu’s conspiracy backfired BIG TIME.

Obasanjo the political opportunist that never wished Nigeria well is at it again. Having SHOT himself in the asssss by being “partiless”, he is once again embarking on the impossible.

Obj gave Nigeria a half-dead President Yaradua and Tinubu the “political drug-addict” decided to replicate Obj’s plan by sponsoring the “brain-dead” Buhari on Nigerians in the diabolical fantasy that Buhari would kick the bucket after 2 years in office. Obj, the political GAMBLER sat on the fence being neither PDP or APC having FAILED WOEFULLY himself.

Well! 2015 is gone, 2016 is gone and 2017 is gone! 2018 is here and Buhari is not “Casper the Friendly Ghost”! Osinbajo is not “The President Of Nigeria” according to “The Yoruba Agenda”!

Buhari and “THE EL-RUFAI-ic NORTH” have ensured that Buhari got all brand new kidneys, liver, heart, pancreas, lungs, eyes and BLOKOS! They forgot to give his CLONE a new BRAIN! The WAEC-less brain still sits in Aso-Rock without any sense of direction.

A Nigerian and three Brazilian men have been busted by the Indian Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB) for smuggling condoms filled with cocaine.
The three men were taken into custody on the 16th of April from a guest house in Paharganj in Delhi.

It was revealed that about 2.6 kgs of liquid cocaine had been obfuscated in condoms by the two Brazilians who were supposed to deliver it to the Nigerian man.
According to the Narcotic Drug and Psychotropic Substance (NDPS) Act the three men were arrested.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zone Director- Madho Singh had this to say:

"The trafficking of liquid cocaine concealed in foodstuff from South American countries is a new modus operandi being adopted by Africans syndicates to deceive the drug law enforcement officers."

wirinet:
This is the main reason Nigerians fail exams, we are asking one question on a subject matter and you are presenting another subject matter as response.

The question is did Dr Okonjo-Iweala who functioned as finance minister and ministers of the economy leave Nigeria poorer than she met it, as alleged by Donald Duke? Instead of answering with facts and figures, you were talking about GDP and then Buhari's debt.

If you want to discuss nigeria's GDP and Nigeria's debt profile over the years, open appreciate threads.

jerseyboy:
You wanted Jonathan to fail because he became Yaradua's Vice President instead of you. Even though Jonathan never asked for it you hated him with passion as he became president. Your quest for the Presidency now is a result of you wanting to take back what you think was denied you. Good luck.

IgbosAreOsus:
This does not make any sense. Very ridiculous. Do you people use your brains at all?

36STATES:
Completely over my friend. He's among the most ignorant and naive politicians we have in SS/SE. This foool thinks he can become
president or vice president by dissing and showing contempt his own people while rolling on the floor for people like OBJ.

This guy allowed Bakassi people to be given to Cameroon while Nigeria got Boko Harem infested parts of the North East. Shame.

2016v2017:
lies,big big lies from the pit of hell.
sorry duke, you have been already exposed. you dip your hands in pooh .

seguno2:
Fired her by moving her to Foreign Affairs from where she resigned voluntarily?
How old are you
Ngozi was blocking Obasanjo from the massive stealing of our money such as the $16 billion meant to give us electricity.
Find out things extensively before you talk.

SalamRushdie:
Shame on you Donald Duke ..Iweala has exposed you for who you are ... a very self centred fellow

Cooly100:
You did not do sh*t. There was a general consensus that power should shift to the north. Just as there is a consensus that power should be in the north for 8 year now.

You big mouths always claim the success of others.

J[b]ust like you claim you won the civil war with Biafra for Nigeria. Why haven't you lousy lying legends defeat Boko for six years now?[/b]

Mtcheeeeee!

humilitypays:
Bla bla bla bla....if u like, re-write history to suite your belief, God and nature won't re-write theirs okay

I condemn the first coup of 1966 everyday and everywhere if u know me well. I condemn Major Ifeajuna for leaking the coup secret to then President Nnamdi Azikiwe his uncle.....if not, Azikiwe would have joined them to pay the price of being corrupt premiere leaders amidst poverty in their land.

But every other thing u wrote are conjoined stories by history re-writers of Yoruba decent to spite Igbos and to justify their inhumane act during 1966 - 1969 Biafra-Nigeria civil war.

So cheer on with your rhetoric okay Nature never forgets as we all must pay for our evil deeds against fellow humans here on earth.

The perpetrators of the 1966 coup paid the price, Igbos too paid the price, so Hausa-Fulani, Middlebelt, Yoruba and all who involved in the 1966 pogrom against innocent civilian Igbos must pay the price of that inhumane act, nature has a way of warning us not to be Carlos to fellow humans but most times we don't listen out of human stubbornness and ego.

Eze2000:
And how do you know this? You just sat behind your phone and made the decision, right?

lazy Nigerian youth sighted!

PointZerom:
No, continue with those that failed for 4 years so that they can break the record of 16 years failure of PDP and set their own record of failures.
