I have seen on a few around.

Showdown indeed - where is Bakare to lead the crowd to Ojota?

Instead of facing the issue - ACN is there rambling round and round and round.


Kettle calling pot black.

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Oyo State chapter, has said that it had serious doubt that a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Segun Oni, ever attended any engineer-ing school, tasking the Nigerian Society of Engi-neers (NSE) to critically conduct an enquiry into his claim of being one of them.

The ACN spoke against the backdrop of the former governor’s criticism of a road dualisation contract recently awarded by the Oyo State government.

Oni had queried the government’s decision to award a 4 kilometre road contract for N5.8 billion, while calling on the people of Yorubaland to task ACN governments in the region on what he called the “spate of loans” in the ACN-controlled states.

However, in a swift reaction, the PDP in the South-West accused the ACN governments are plunging the region into huge and embarrassing debts, saying; “It is only in ACN-controlled states that 1kilometre of road is being executed for outrageous amount ranging from N400 million to over N1billion.

Reacting to the comment by the Oyo State chapter of the ACN an Oni’s Media Aide, Mr. Lere Olayinka said; “It is ridiculous that a road that already has an existing one-lane will be called dualisation, while in actual fact, what is being added is another lane.”

Speaking in a release signed by the Publicity Secretary of the ACN in Oyo State, Honourable Dauda Kolawole, the ACN said it was amazed by what it called the former governor’s “engineering illiteracy” as well as his “infectious mischief” which, it said, were the PDP’s stock-in-trade over the years.

According to the party, the PDP was apparently bothered by the rate at which the South-West, which it left in a state of ruins, was developing and as such, the need to draw back the hand of its “developmental clock.”

“That is the only plau-sible explanation we can find for this pull-him-down tactic of Segun Oni. Unfortunately, however, this tactic was executed in the most illiterate and uninformed manner that beggars the question. In addressing the question of loan, Oni got it so bad that one cannot but wonder if he understood elementary economic; on road con-struction, he went so much off the mark that we cannot but ask NSE to look into his claim of being an engineer,” the ACN said.

The party said it was surprised that a man, who claims to be an engineer, would rush to the press to criticise a road project that has received the applause of the citizenry, simply because he needed some advertorial comment to conclude his circuit of criticising ACN governments.

But Oni’s media aid, Mr Olayinka, said further that “even assuming but not conceding that the road in question is actually 9.25km, isn’t it scandalous that a 9.25km of road was awarded to Bola Tinubu’s Hitech Construction Company at N5.8 billion? Even in water-logged Niger-Delta area, is one kilometre of road being constructed for over N600 million as being done in ACN-controlled states?

“When Segun Oni was governor of Ekiti State, he awarded dualisation of 19km Ado-Iworoko-Ifaki, a near virgin road for a little above N6 billion. The contract was inclusive of street lights from Ado to Ifaki. It is also on record that apart from Ado-Iworoko-Ifaki dualisation, the average cost per kilometre of road awarded by the Oni-led government was N37 million. These roads are still being used up till now and they are in very good condition,” he maintained.

Prove the mad dogs on NairaLand and elsewhere wrong sir.

onomeasike: ^^^ you are crying but sadly, you think you are laughing.I know you are one of the 40 laptop and your group constitute the greatest albatross to the clueless GEJ administration.I have raised salient issues that a responsible citizen should ask those who claim to be representing me and the least you could do is laugh at a serious issue.I pity you,I pity your parents who wasted money educating you,I pity your principal who you members of the 40 laptop crew continue to disgrace in intellectual arena.I will advice you to read today's punchnewspaper on 'Is the Presidency becoming Desperate and Jittery?http://www.punchng.com/opinion/is-the-presidency-becoming-desperate-and-jittery/
We will sustain call for investigation of this hurriedly packaged spurious loan from the chinese.The chines,I know,dont love my country more than I do.I know something is fishy!

Crying? For that stoopid sh.it you just wrote up there? Its not your fault - its the fault of your cheap laptop and internet that is making you conjure nonsense that your likes will carry on their head for nothing.

...and whats that sh.it from Punch all about?

^^^^^

Examples?

lol. You cry on NairaLand like say anyone hears you? What a pity!

blacksta: Nigeria should be in the Guiness books of record for Awarding Contracts without implementation. It makes no sense when the existing airports are performing under capacity to then decide to build new ones. Hopefully it will be ready by 2050 shoooooir

LOL. English Language 101. They are not new airports bro, they are new terminals at the old airports. LOLzzzzzzz

and so....??

Always comparing everything with Nigeria- Nigeria is unique on her own, stop comparing anything that happens elsewhere with Nigeria.

emmatok: Why pay twice for thesame project.
I smell Fraud.

Where is your proof the Govt is paying twice? The project is still ongoing - payments are made as per milestones achieved. Abeg - lets think before we talk.

The point remains - dont take the laws into your own hands. Dont drive against oncoming traffic. Common sense should prevail.

So?

busy body. Just post anything without proper thoughts. How will you stop them from flying? Occupy Nigeria once again?

Does it mean once an airline's airplane is involved in a crash, then they should never fly again? Bellview?

If you are really concerned, go to the airport and carry a placard asking Nigerians to boycott Dana Airlines.

hillsate: How many times do they want to award this same abuja-abaji-lokoja road? Haba!

@OP, do you have any document that proves any such payment?
We just even heard another story of oil marketers denying any payments from FG.
I have since learnt to take any word for FG with a pinch of salt.

English Language is a problem - the award is different from payment. Haba.

milliams: Yeah, Great speech indeed.. It is easier to make such a great speech with strong and intense emotions if you speaking in your mother tongue... Nigerians (Nigeria leaders) create wahala for themselves trying to drive home thier political mission and vision while speaking big!! big!! grammar..{like Mr. GEJ will always says.."i want to assure you" with and any feelings in it. Who is going to trust such assurance. Have u ever imagine Michelle Obama Barack delivering those mighty speech in yoruba, igbo or hausa outside her mother tongue, I want to assure no america will smile at hr despite understanding her. She will never be able to pass the real message to her people.
That is our problem in this part of the world.

Dumb post - so they should start making speeches in their native language? Honestly, i dont know how people reason.

mtim14: Election in America is all about contest in speech nd Ideas. Sadly in Nigeria, it is a contest of money,power,incubence nd how u can abuse ur opponent.

...and how many people you can incite to violence afterwards.

Patience not ill:

CyberG: Your big head is the motherfu<king one, mugulistic mumu as.s licker. Even, if I am at Alaba, is it not better than a door mat whose only existence is to be a shai.t stool for corrupt leaders of Nigeria? Go back to school if you cannot understand what that statement meant. Do I care for your gluttonous pay master? Kiss my as.s and get a life! Onye ara!

Mumu don wake up. Anuofia. CyberGoat. Anything GEJ works up your blood pressure like a turbo fired engine. Haba! Tufiakwa. "all they do is cassette" - bush man.

egift: So in your brain: Being an Ekiti man is a license to go about insulting people? How embarrassing to all the good and lovely people of Ekiti State. You should be ashamed.

Abeg - waka go one side. Who u be. Mumu. Who insulted who first? You must have a pee brain. Maybe calling someone a spin master in your pee brain is not insulting enough.

Una need to get a life - everything America is commended - everything African is condemned.

Y'all still feel the White man's supremacy to una. Dang!

OP - where is it written this wedding took place in Nigeria.

You are such a time waster - do something nice with your time.

egift: All these your insults is just a reflection of your poor upbringing from the creeks. BTW how does that help Her Excellency in all the procedures the doctors are performing in Germany.

Another Mumu - an ekiti man is now from the creeks in your stoopid mind. Yeye dey smell. Monkey.

This OP will call you names if you dare say something like "Fashola is a Fool"

Somebody's age is a worrisome factor on NairaLand.

CyberG: This is how Yaradua's spin machine lied and lied until they man dried like crayfish...clearly some bootlickers have no sense! They are just like lobotomized monkeys...all they do is cassette. SR is much more credible than the lapdog barking all over this thread...lol. One day go be one day...monkey go go market and he no go return!

LOL. You are so scared of me that you find it very hard to mention my name. God save your modafoking head. Mumu. Mumu. Mumu.

What is the meaning of all they do is cassette? You must be one illiterate alaba market trader. I here such statements from folks of that nature. Now you bring it to an enlightened fora. Shame.

Your wish is Patience should die like Yar Adua - but it wont happen.

egift: Here is Abati on the issue. He did not denal the Ambulance in his response. And read his lame excuse and include his name among the spin doctors.


http://www.ynaija.com/just-a-moments-rest-the-first-lady-is-not-hospitalized-presidency/

His excuse is lame because he didnt say what you want to hear.

egift: @werepeLeri (maradona)
Nobody is blaming our beloved First Lady for being ill - in fact every Nigerian is wishing her quick recovery.

The only issue here is that you and other spin masters in Oga Presido's team want us to believe madam traveled all the way to Germany in an Air Ambulance just to have some rest.

Beleive anything you want - whats my biz with that? I thought you were more reasonable - who are spin masters? mtchewww.

So you saw the Air Ambulance taking off and landing in Germany? I want to know if you work at the airport.

SaharaReporters - crazy people.

You want them to tell you her location so you can go and write bollocks about her.

So what if she is ill? Is she not human?

SR should get a life -

Okupe has said his own side of the story of the Benue issue - or wetin him steal this time around?
