What's with Nigeria and all these old structures and low budget architectural designs?
Why can't we have modern hospital buildings like these
Please tell me the truth,is it that you Nigerians have no plans to develop your country into a modern country
Are you guys cursed or you just don't see how things are done in saner climes
And I see people commending them and calling these trash "nice achievement"..
All these Nigerian youths,are you ok at all

The budget of these kinda structures will take a large chunk of the meagre resources the states have.

Openbusiness4:

splashbaby:
She's saying the truth... To send Akpabio to jail, Let EFCC probe a company called Sinoeng and see if they won't see rotten can of worms all over the place.

Have u written a petition to them if ure so certain?? Change begins with you

uuzba:
Uncle, we are receiving the knock heavily and it isn't funny
Nigerian architects have only ONE problem.
They cannot guarantee that any fantastic shapes that they design with stand
They must submit their design to Nigeria structural engineers. Those structural engineers must then do all the load analysis and MAKE SURE that the building materials WE HAVE in this Nigeria can indeed bear all the funny loads.
Nigerian architects cannot guarantee that
They don't know anything more than their fantastic shape

This is where foreign Architects will come in, design same fantastic shape, THEN GIVE THEIR FOREIGN structural firms to analyse the structure loads ...
AND FINALLY, their foreign structure team will source the building materials from their Foreign links and build, import it here and
AND IT WILL STAND .
Whose fault now that Nigerian Architects fantastics shape was not used, but Foreign Architects shape was used?

U didn't make any sense bros. At the end of the day what ure trying to say is that Nigerian structural engineers should wake up

Jakemedg:
Thumbs up Gov. Udom Emmanuel
Can you imagine this is the same Udom ex governor Akpabio was trying to blackmail just for political reason .

Are you based in Uyo??

EmekaBlue:
What's stopping me is I'm not in the US

Was hushpupi in the US?? The world is a global village

Some of you know nothing but running down your country every chance you get. How many luxury hotels in Nigeria have you seen to make this kind of statement?

I tire oh, poverty speaking

sassiemyk:
This one no be prison oo. This is na edifice. More beautiful than the best hotels in Nigeria. This is like spending 20years in "BBNaija" house na. Dem for take the guy go all those prisons when dem dey build for island as we dey see'am for movie.

Which hotel have you gone to bros

pretyval:
Which building for Nigeria be like that? Talk more or police station.... Dem never buy the latest cars finish na o build correctional facilities

Efcc building no bad nau

Poverty and bad governance has made some Nigerians to prefer prison to their freedom in their houses in Nigeria. It's a pity

AureliusWolf:
"Litany of gratitude" Alex, your articles are always poorly written and a joke.
Imagine, with the credentials this Doctor has been peddling, he is also sharing petrol the man has turned to a typical Nigerian politician with nothing to offer, what a shame.

I'm so sure one of his advisors brought this up

ifiokjohn:
Please do you know what's up with the Worship centre? and the stage they are in the Ibaka super highway?

It has progressed beyond foundation last I passed by there, work is going on in earnest.

Ilaumoh:
Opposition and people that feel he should be sharing money as Akpabio did ( lazy bunch)

The quality of projects akpabio did compared to udom is miles away, almost everything akpabio did was comparable to what obtained anywhere in the world.

Abasman007:
brp? At ths time when interstate travel is banned and we aren't primarily a cocoa producing state, the number of seedlings is highly commendable!!... visit akwa-ibom and see how things are for yourself.. sometimes I wish we could be our own country... We seem to be different from others, thanks to good Governance! Learn to appreciate. Even if you don't, we akwa-ibomites who are enjoying it will!.... SMH the amount your state recieves is enough to turn it into ghana at least. Abuja ain't even close to Addis Ababa and you feel we should be Addis Ababa?..lol, sometimes shs I feel am in Europe each time I pass roads and structures!!!, Talk for yourself, leave us alone.


Would you believe the picture below is akwa-ibom?

This must be lock down pic

FuckTheWorld:
Don't be stupîd.
Is brain paining you?
Listen to yourself!
Since 2008!
THAT'S 12 FÛCKING YEARS!

How long did it take Dubai to develop like that?
Your type of MENTALITY and stupîd people with such mentality in position of power is the reason this country is moving forward...
What a shame!

Are u comparing the amount of money Dubai has to the 13% of akwa ibom. Let us not forget about their system of leadership that whatever the Sheikh says come to being with little or no bottle necks.

internationalman:
I know it's probably a stupid question, but still I'd like to ask.


Why don't planes collide in the air.

Is it that only one plane flies at a point in time?

They do but it's rare

Moooorayblunt:
He probably went to take a tutorial
on how Mr. Odom Emmanuel ruggedly dealt with Mr. "Transformation Agenda"

Im no go get that kind money

chatinent:
Rather than lampooning every president who is inaugurated, if you were the president of the federation, how'd you make the country what you castigate against?

Let's discuss.

Transportation
Introduce tolls on federal highways and ensure that money from tolls are used to trim the grasses on the median of the highways, maintain the roads and power the street lights so traveling at night can be a pleasure, also packages for the officers that'll be manning the expressways.

Power
All my resources and time will be expended on this because whether we like it or not, if we are to get loose from the shackles of poverty. Electricity must be stable. If it has to get to the extent of Power being removed from the exclusive list of the federal government so be it.

Education
Financial autonomy should be granted to universities and they should learn to fend for themselves. Federal grants will be awarded to ideas that can shape the country.

Sports
This is another untapped goldmine, it will be made more aggressive attractive and gradually weaned out of government ownership of sports outfit so it can be private driven. Trust me the chain of employment opportunities out of sport is a lot.

Civil service
A total revamping of the civil service with a look to make it more effective. The best brains should be here tho it'll be met with stiff resistance. Government entities shouldn't be headed with staffs of lackadaisical attitudes. That's why it takes ages to get the national identity card and why Nta is nothing to write home about

To be continued....

Kurtis02:
Lol, That guy just choose to ignore the obvious.



The traffic light at Iron Road ( Udotong Ubo, Iran street, may flower), Abak road... none works


Worst is the waste management, before now we had waste containers to accommodate waste , but now every thing is on the floor and before those guys come to pack dem it usually takes two days ..


imagine driving on the road where those dirt are kept, the smell alone ehn.


That governor has nothing exceptional to offer, He's just good at media propaganda. Doesn't like criticism



Even radio station nko if you lay complain they quickly end call and start claiming network problem.

U forgot to add they'll tag you as an APC member if you do complain

Centcanada:
Was there any screening committee at the first tenure when he was in power? Now that oshomole had paid some bunch of idiot to screen Obaseki and now he wants to speak on it. Nonsense country!

So u want a repeat of what happened in Bayelsa

Hunchogee:
Am in uyo bro

Are you satisfied with the state of things in uyo the capital, udom's performance so far is just about average. Simple things are now looking like rocket science. Simple management of traffic light is herculean task. Traffic light as ure returning to shelter afrique from udo udoma has been non functional for some weeks now and that place is a mess in the evening. Even the ones at abak road. So before u call someone a fool, they might have seen better.

Hunchogee:
Fools like you are the only reason people don't progress ...this is not a mock news but a news that bitter leech like you should be happy about but bitterness and hate won't let you.

He/she is just saying they've seen better. If you're not based in Akwa Ibom you won't understand

One4me:
How do you define ULTRAMODERN?
Is it just by how fine, what you are seeing or you are comparing it with similar structures in places like Singapore, China, Japan, UAE?

Until you visit the farm of someone else's father, you will always think your fathers farm is the biggest in the world

It's very much comparable to structures you mention in the countries above tho they might have not same disposable income like the countries mentioned. Things can only get better

0taPiaPia:
I don't like seeing the word ULTRAMODERN in anything Nigeria.. the word doesn't exist here in government projects

It does in Calabar and Akwa Ibom mega projects. Case study akwa ibom stadium and specialist hospital as well as Calabar international conference centre.

BabaAlabi:
Only #1 million fine for a big UK company...smh. When big men and big companies commit crimes in Nigeria, they get a slap on the wrist but small men get jailed for 50 years and small companies get their business wrecked.

Mtcheeeew.

Did u read the article

AmazingELixir:



Take over with what exactly....Air Nigeria..??

Ibom Air

Hunchogee:
The have 3 ambulances my guy .... 2 in the specialist hospital akpabio bought and 1 in teaching hospital ok

Exactly, tear rubber Mercedes-Benz Sprinter ambulance.

chichiana:
Talking about good and lenghty stretch of roads in lagos. 3rd mainland bridge, Ring road extensions, Ikoyi-lekki link road and bridge, ikoyi road off 3rd mainland bridge, Ozurumba mbadiwe -lekki -ekpe express road, Lagos-badagry express down to trade fair, lagos- ibadan-ketu-ikeja, Apapa-mobil-lagos,Apapa-oworonshoki(tho under maintenance now) oshodi/isolo-MM Airport,isolo-ipaja-ota express and lots more dual big sweet roads.

Abuja has most beautiful and traffic free roads followed by lagos though with traffic


From ex uber pilot

When last did you leave Lagos Mr. Pilot??

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright
Dangote the Broke ass niggarr! So him nor fit buy them Lamborghini
Na joke i dey o before una take am serious

But which day Nigeria police go start to dey use Lamborghini for patrol like Dubai police

Na same you go insult them

Coldie:
Umahi, you are not a wicked man, no follow wike footsteps abeg

This is why Nigeria remains in its bad state and everyone wants to relocate abroad.

Exc2000:
Common MD of Electricity Distribution Company in a state should even get police escort to work in saner climes, as he is not only essential worker, his work (power supply) affects Every sector of the state including Hospitals

Is it the escort that Wike told to trek back, seems you didn't watch the video
