ojdollars: How many people in Nigeria Pay their taxes?

ojdollars: Do they dig Borehole in Lagos? No... The last time I was in my Uncle's House in Adeniji Adele Dolphin Estate area.. They use the water supplied by the City water board... So what are you talking about?[/b] Or are you among the group of people who just read on the internet and start concluding base on their theoretical awareness?

mr-cali:
Its not that Nigerians do not like to make sacrifices but they just don't feel they are morally obliged to make it to the type of govt we have now. One we don't believe they should push any responsibility to us since We are convinced they are not judiciously using our money. Until we have fiscal responsibility on the part of government nobody will enjoy to pay for anything.

ojdollars: @All Nairalanders who curse and insult Fashola... I want to believe that there is no Nigerian in Diaspora among those clicks... I live in Texas, City of Irving in Dallas County. I can boldly say that, the difference between Lagos and Texas... Is not so much.. Because, in Texas.. Most of the High Ways has Tolls. The difference is that, the officials in charge which is refer to as the City don't stop you to pay daily as you go through the Tolls. What they do, is refer to as advance Toll fee collection.

Otuabaroku: One thing you can do is if you are interested in being on your own, and you think you have got the relevant skill in this line, you can think of combining your mechanical engineering skills to be developing automated systems, solving identified problems In Nigeria.
By so doing, you can carve a niche for yourself.

Residents of Lekki-Epe area of Lagos State, yesterday, cautioned the state government not to stoke another Boko Haram phenomenon with the exploitation of road users in the area through toll collection by its partner, Lekki Construction Company, LCC.

Their reactions came against the backdrop of weekend’s opening of the second toll gate at Ajah, for which no alternative route had been provided.

The first toll gate was opened last December 18, 2011, around Lekki Phase 1, about 15 kilometers from the second, which alternative route runs through a private Oniru Estate, and not the Coastal road  specified by the agreement between the state government and LCC.

The angry residents, warned that Boko Haram stemmed from the injustice similar to one being imposed on residents of that part of Lagos, wondering if the state government would be able to stem the tide when the area explodes.

An angry resident told Vanguard, “This government is biting more than it can chew.  Three months ago, the government used security men to muzzle the people to accept what is a bitter pill.  People have just been coping with the first toll gate, maybe because there is what appears an alternative route.

“But this second one at Ajah, you can see there is no alternative; they want to make it compulsory for people to use this road and pay money, even when they know that they are only to start tolling after constructing an alternative route, which they have not constructed and have no plan of doing so.”

I have read on forums that if you've got a valid visa in your old Passport, you can still travel with it provided you've gotten the new E-Passport. The visa or Residence document in your old Passport was issued by another country and not the Nigerian Government. I feel that is why the sign 'Cancelled Without Prejudice' is stamped on your expired Passport. 'Cancelled Without Prejudice' means that any visa in the Passport issued by another Country can still be used for the purpose it was intended for provided it is still valid. I need to hear from someone who has traveled to Nigeria with a visa on a expired Passport MRP Passport and the new E-Passport. Thanks a Bunch.

aribisala0:
for a visa,stamp etc in a passport to be valid. The passport MUST be valid

U.S. Consulate Website:
A visa is valid until its expiration date. Therefore, if the traveler has a valid U.S. visa in an expired passport, he/she may use it along with a new valid passport of the same nationality for travel and admission to the United States. Note: If, when canceling your old passport, the passport authority has clipped the corners of the passport, and, in so doing, has damaged the visa in any way, that visa is no longer valid and cannot be used for travel to the United States.

Modernisation of Mile12-Ikorodu road to cost N30bn – Fashola

Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, on Monday said his administration was committed to implementing the modernisation of Mile12-Ikorodu road to improve movement in the area.

Fashola, at the celebration of his 1, 700 days in office, appealed to residents of the area for understanding, saying their present discomfort would soon be over.

He said, “The design of the road is ready and we are working with the Federal Government and the World Bank to conclude financing on the project, which will cost about N30bn.”

The governor said the government was also working to link Ikorodu with Ajah through Ibeshe Road. He added that the road would remove the problem of travelling through the metropolis to reach Lekki and its environs.

Perimeter fencing is X% complete. Here are some pictures . . . .

Developemnt of drainage/Water supply infrasture is yet to commence / will soon commence / has commenced  (as the case may be).

Some of the subcription payments will go into developing these infrastructure and so more progress will be made in due course as we get more suscribers.

Access roads are all earth/tarred roads. They are motoroable / not motorable (as the case may be).

etc.

Chinese firm, CCECC wins Lagos-Badagry Expressway Phase II contract

How much progress have you made in delivering the promised infrastructure (perimiter fence, drainage, electricity and water)?

What is the state of the access roads?

LAGOS -  Lagos lawyer, Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has asked a Lagos State High Court sitting in Igbosere, to restrain Lekki Concession Company Limited, LCC and Lagos State Government from further collection of toll on the Lekki-Epe Expressway until the new Coastal road has been built by the state government.

Other defendants in the suit are the Lagos State Works Management Board; Attorney-general of Lagos State and Eti-Osa Local Government Area.

Adegboruwa in the suit is challenging the non compliance with the contract executed between Lagos State and LCC, the failure to build the alternative route called Coastal Road before the commencement of tolling on the road.

The new suit, according to him, is predicated on a fresh document obtained from the African Development Bank.

spyder880:
. . . your user name sounds familiar, maybe from my former base on SMN?

spyder880:
On your second point about why 5'' and 4'' blocks are not frequently used, I think it has something to do with the pillar size, diameter. The bigger the width of the blocks you use, the thicker your column, beam sizes as the columns take same size with the blocks it supports. People always feel safer using bigger columns, especially upstairs buildings.

Good work oga. I will advice that you also seek to get building approval before you go too deep into the construction.

I don't know if they disturb as much as they do in the west.

Keep up the good work.
