There's no point of making it mandatory for everyone to acquire the 64 pages passport, there should be option of 32 and 64pages which can be different in price. There are people that are frequent travellers and others are not, also the new passport should have 10yrs validity period as it obtain in other sane country.

Don jazzy and D'banj snap picture with kanye west & jay z, people say dey don sign am. Now Akon don snap with Tuface & wizkid, the same people don start to dey wind the mouth again.

Are you on twitter? check out from the horses mouth, I mean Akon.

Fashola should stop this nasty propaganda. He keeps making things difficult for people and tries to make no big deal about it.
AC will definitely loose the next elections if they keep on like this.

The problem with Nigerians: we like free things. Water, electricity, food etc. I think I will rather pay a toll fee for a good road than to ply a dangerous road. As for voting out ACN, I wonder what the alternatives have done in the state they control.

Blatter is going nowhere. Those Brits are dolts

I wish you suffer racism in your life time, then come back here and tell nairalander how it feels.

The question stem from last night game against England, the game didn't even get mention in English newspapers and most especially the Skysport news. But when it comes to Nigeria, all aged group including female football matters.

And when we loose,you poster would be among the first to complain, do y'all think its only Nigeria that cheats?

But why do we have to cheat in everything?

Got this picture from my brother that studied in UNILAG. May be this the team should have being sent to colombia, not those grandad.

Good idea

drinking medication

.

Olanzapine or Clozapine

Drinking diet coke!

Simple! eat, eat,eat, eat and eat until you quench. but to lose it, that where the wahala go start.

Folks and their inferiority complex sef.

Everything oyibo does must be better.

I put it to you that if the tables were turned, and the white house was secluded, while Aso Rock was open to all and sundry, YOU would automatically assume that the white house had the correct approach.

You would be the first to come here and lambast the 'lax security' and 'careless attitude' of Nigerians.

You would blast: ''Can anybody walk up to the white house? How many times have you seen the white house? Yet in our own, anyone can just walk up to our seat of government, and see the place, and even drop bomb there if they want, because we're not a serious nation!''

So the real problem here, Princek12, is your slave mentality.

What an insane comment made by a lunatic. For the poster to have point out the obvious, then you are calling him names. Its you that need your head check with comment like these.

Talk about misplaced priority, Jonny is without a rival. For all the enormous problem facing the nation, the most important bill that this clueless man will send or has already being sent is tenure elongation. Nigeria I hail thee.

I have being thinking about this since I became one of his fan on the facebook; Imagine you are critical of his policies and his inaction, and you resides abroad or in Nigeria. This man can set you up since he's got all your detail.  You can be detained while entering the country or where ever you might be in the country. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

Residents seek govt attention on waterways to ease gridlock on Lagos roads

SMARTING from spending close to two and half hours in the traffic between Ikorodu and Oshodi, Kunle Fagbemi, a licensed customs agent, last week began to ponder over what it could be that the government might have not done right.

He told The Guardian he realised that the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, once touted as the cure-all for the traffic congestion on Lagos roads, had not solved the problem and that though, so much had been said about the Lagos Light Rail, there was not much yet on ground to signify it might anytime become a reality.

Then, his mind went to the ferry service that many Lagosians had patronised in the final years of the Buba Marwa administration and he wondered what could have happened.

Indeed, a lot has happened as different administrations grappled with how to put in place a system of transportation that would efficiently move its millions of commuters to and from their destinations without bleeding them to death.

The Lagos State government has tried to provide transport services for its people by partnering with private bodies, building and expanding more roads, introducing the popular BRT, introducing a light-rail system and drawing up a master-plan to improve the Lagos water transportation system.

Yet, the traffic in Lagos metropolis is still a nightmare to most Lagosians.

“ In the past 12 years, it is clear that not enough has been done to effectively utilise the water-ways with which the state is blessed in order to improve mass transportation.

“Government’s attention has been concentrated on the BRT to the detriment of the other systems such as light rail and ferry service that could have contributed towards solving the problem,” Fagbemi said.

He lamented that the Lagos State Ferry Services Corporation (LSFSC), which thrived during the Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Marwa administrations, had been abandoned to the extent that it was doubtful if any of its vessels was still functional.

Indeed, the Mile Two headquarters of the LSFSC could bring tears to the eyes of whoever knew what the place looked like, a few years ago.

Six or seven boats of different capacities, including an ambulance, are abandoned to rot and rust away at the jetty for years.

The premises is overgrown and disused life-jackets and vandalised fittings litter the area between the jetty and the offices while the place has also become a parking lot for waste disposal trucks.

A policeman, probably on guard, told The Guardian he could not remember the last time anybody came to board the ferries at the Mile Two Jetty.

“That must be many years ago. Nobody comes here anymore,” he said.

While it was not possible to get an official response from the Ministry of Transportation, an official who sought anonymity, said “though it could be said that enough has not been done, that does not mean that government has been silent or idle over the issue.’

He said in an attempt to breath life into water transportation, the government set up the Lagos State Waterways Authority, (LASWA) in 2008 to license and regulate water transportation.

It also built three new jetties at Badore, Ipakodo and Osborne in Ikoyi while some older jetties have also undergone renovation.

He also said that in pursuit of the government’s policy of Public Private Partnerships, LASWA has licensed five operators on different routes to facilitate mass transportation of Lagosians across the waterways.

In its hey days, LSFSC’s ferries and boats were available at jetties at different locations in Lagos: Badore in Eti-Osa, Agboyi-Ketu in Amuwo-Odofin, Ijegun-Egba in Kosofe Ebute Ipakodo Ferry Terminal in Ikorodu and CMS on the Marina, among others from where they took Lagosians to and from their destinations, cheaper and quicker.

But now, only the jetties at CMS, Badore and Ijede, run by private operators, see any form of activity.

The few Lagosians, to whom the private-run ferry services are available in their areas, are happy.

They say their trips, which would have taken hours by road, take only a small fraction of that time and that they pay so much less.

“It now takes me about 10 minutes at N80 from Ikoyi to Lekki, instead of two hours in traffic at N120 “ a regular commuter, Jinaudu Abe told The Guardian.

Another commuter on the Badore, Eti Osa to Ijede in Ikorodu said it takes just 30 minutes and N100 instead of probably three or four hours getting to their destination; they would however spend hours going by road.

“Improving the water transportation option is a great idea”, a resident of Badore, Uche Ukaiwo, said, adding that “is available at present falls short of the demand.”

“I don’t think the existing ferry system is sufficient, even though it is bedevilled by some problems which, of course, can be tackled.

“ Most times, the ferries are overcrowded and there are all sorts of people on board just like a ‘molue.’

A resident of Maza-maza, Seun Adepitan, who usually takes a canoe to get to his work-place in the FESTAC is of the view that: “If the banks and large firms can invest in the water transportation, they will make lots of money.

“ In England, Richard Branson’s Virgin group has its imprints everywhere, from air and rail transport, health clubs, holiday resorts, telephone services and other businesses.

“ I’m waiting for the Dangotes, Otedolas and Ibrahims to start investing in the public infrastructure of the country. They will make more money that way”.

But Femi, who lives close to Seun, believes “potential passengers are not assured of their safety as there are no emergency service patrolling the waterways and laws guiding operators are either not enforced or put in place.

“Ferry operators should not be expected to provide embankments or ‘stations’ by themselves. Those should be provided by government, which also should do other things like rail or BRT to complement the ferry services.”

But the National Association of Nigerian Tourist Boat Operators and Water Transporters (NATBOWAT), the private-sector component in the water transportation sector, has complained that some of the policies of government are stifling their efforts.

A member of the body, Mr. Ganiyu Tarzan Balogun, who operates Tarzan Boats, lamented the high cost of acquiring boats, and high operation fees levied on them by the government.

“The government is yet to create an enabling environment for private operators to work effectively.

“There are bound to be teething problems that will go away as we settle down with time and the business begins to grow.

“Demanding such high licensing fees and levies cannot encourage us, yet, there is need for the waterways to be adequately harnessed to improve mass transportation in Lagos State.”

Rot in hell for your insincerity about your health with Nigerian.

They are both Southerners and Muslims as well. Presidential ticket in Nigeria is usually shared between North/South and Muslim/Christian. To have South/South and Muslim/Muslim ticket is almost impossible for now in Nigeria. I love both gentlemen though. They are great!

Your own constitution or Nigeria constitution?

If you have voted or planning to vote PDP. Please don't come back here and complain about corruption, lack of basic amenities, lack of security, poor infrastructure because vote for Jonathan or PDP is not the change you are yearning for. Please vote wisely.

The support Buhari is getting from most people on this forum, which I presume they are mostly from southern part of Nigeria. I hope the northern brother can do the same for any one from the south. As for me, Ribadu all the way,

have always been a supporter of buhari. And could always defend his intergrity against anyone who claims to say he his an extremist and a religion fanatic, but his recent moves after the NASS elections has shrouded my view against him and his anti corruption stance he has decided to meet with IBB, ATIKU and other northern leaders it was even confirmed by his spokeman(yinka) who said buhari was not alone that he his with IBB, ATIKU. To change nigeria. What an ABBERATION!!!

Why do I have to add anything to this matter? Because, you said it all.

I run to you - Lady antebellum

Who to trust again in Nigeria? I always think this man is for the masses not knowing he's got different agenda.

SR is the best, you can stop visiting there website and start watching NTA news.

Dumb and dumberer, This Adeboye sef? the man can associate himself with any crooks in power.
Jonathan is deluded for real, kneeling down for all this crooks will not do you or Nigerian anything.

a waoh, how did this guy skim his way up?. First Nigerian to coach a first class team in Europe. Of course, he is an American trained lawyer and ex soccer star. Goes to show that education makes a difference sometimes.

I am really happy for him.

Chelsea appoint Michael Emenalo to replace Ray Wilkins


Chelsea have promoted Michael Emenalo from his position as chief scout to assistant first team coach.
Emenalo, who has been with the Blues since October 2007, succeeds Ray Wilkins in the role and Chelsea say the move is "recognition of his efforts".
The 45-year-old represented Nigeria at the 1994 World Cup and won 14 caps.
Emenalo, who briefly played for Notts County in the mid-1990s, will continue to scout for the first team while he updates his coaching qualifications.
The Nigerian's playing career also took him to the United States, Spain, Germany and Israel.


To replace Wilkins with this guy still feels like the wrong decision! I hope I am wrong!
A biggish club within the M25
Assistant first-team coach Paul Clement, who was alongside boss Carlo Ancelotti in the dug-out at Stamford Bridge for the defeat against Sunderland on Sunday, was expected to step up to fill the role.
Former AC Milan defender Paolo Maldini, had also been linked with the job, as had Mauro Tassotti and Alessandro Costacurta who worked under Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti at Milan.
Ex-Chelsea first-team coach Steve Clarke and former West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola, who was a fans' favourite during his time as a player at Stamford Bridge, were also thought to be in the running.
