Ravon: - Project To Create 200,000 Jobs, Provide Housing Schemes For Lekki FTZ
- Lagos Gov’s Policies Are About Economic Prosperity, Development, Says Audu Ogbeh
Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday launched a 1000-hectare modern satellite city in Epe-Ibeju Lekki axis projected to create over 200,000 jobs and housing schemes for all the major projects coming on board within the Lekki Free Trade Zone.
Named Alaro Satellite City, Governor Ambode described the unveiling of the project as a major milestone in his administration’s vision of making every part of the State economically viable and livable, adding that the development was a dream come true.
He said with major projects in the works in the Lekki-Epe corridor such as the Free Trade Zone, largest Deep Sea Port in Africa and International Airport, among others, a new city to provide housing schemes and other facilities for workers, investors and the people generally was desirous, hence the need for the initiative.
Giving details, Governor Ambode said: “The Alaro Satellite City was conceived to provide housing schemes to a broad spectrum of income earners, industrial workspaces, warehouses, hospitality and commercial office facilities amongst others.
“The project would not only open up the corridor but would transform its economic landscape by providing jobs, reducing poverty and contributing significantly to the socio-economic development of the State, especially in terms of the GDP of the State in particular, and the country in general.”
While commending the private sector especially Rendeavour Group and North West Quadrant Company for partnering with the State Government to deliver the new city, the Governor said the successful launch of the project was a demonstration of the confidence the Organised Private Sector (OPS) and foreign investors have in viability of doing business in the State, adding: “The Alaro Satellite City is a strong statement that our Lagos is still attracting more direct foreign investment.”
The Governor, who assured the partners of the State Government’s unshaken commitment to the success of the project, also expressed strong optimism that the initiative would be continued by successive administration being that it is about creating jobs and scaling up the GDP of Lagos.
He said in anticipation of an increase in human and vehicular movement within the axis as a result of ongoing gigantic projects, the State Government would construct a road to link Shagamu-Benin Expressway from Lekki Deep Sea Port and a 50-hectare truck park.
According to him, “We are aware that the increase in construction and industrial activities are already taking its toll on the road networks and other complementary infrastructure along this corridor.
“In order to forestall future chaotic traffic log-jams within this corridor and avoid similar incidences such as is being experienced in the Apapa axis, we have initiated the process of constructing the 7th Axial Road from the Lekki Deep Sea Port, en route the Lekki Free Zone to the Shagamu-Benin Expressway.
“The design for the construction of a 50-hectare truck park within the Lekki-Epe corridor is also in progress.”
Besides, Governor Ambode lauded the host communities for their trust and forbearance, revealing that the State Government had approved 750 hectares of land as resettlement land for communities displaced from Parcel B of the Lekki Free Zone namely Yegunda, Abomiti and Eyin-Osa.
He said the Lands Bureau had also been instructed to expedite action on the enumeration of the land in question to accelerate payment of compensation and the issuance of the C of O, just as he assured all stakeholders of the commitment of the government towards ensuring the security of all investments and maintaining good harmonious relationships between the investors and the host communities.
Speaking earlier, Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbeh commended those behind the project particularly Governor Ambode, saying his politics were about development and economic prosperity.
“I am particularly happy to be here for the launch of this project. Lagos is Nigeria’s New York and I am told that nearly 72 per cent of Nigeria’s currencies circulate in Lagos and I am even happier because I like the politics of Governor Ambode because though you are a much younger person than I am, I can assure you that you have a big future ahead.
“The biggest responsibility of a governor in any country and in Nigeria in particular where we are struggling to build an economy is to develop the economy of the State; every other thing comes after. We have to create jobs; there are too many of our young people graduating from school looking for jobs and so when you find that an investor and a governor are investing and creating those jobs you desperately need, you definitely would put your hands together for them,” Ogbeh said.
@MzanziCoolio I want you to stop your convo with that insidious guy "hammer@@" posting in all capital letters (which is even a violation of NL rules) on the Cape thread. He is a notorious troll and secessionist supporter here.
Don't feed him by engaging in any further convos. He will not change if you give him all the facts. I noticed months ago that he's always attacking everything Nigeria and SA.
P.S. @MzanziCoolio, The fake Cape thread has taken down from the NL frontpage and the Foreign Affairs section after we both reported by mentioning the 4 major NL supermods. Truth finally prevailed on NL over insidious misinformation meant to project a fictitious racial division about SA.
OshovieWilliams: Ever had some easterners go postal on you when you spell or pronounce Igbo as "Ibo"? Well, you are not alone. A lot of easterners get offended when they hear or see "Ibo" spoken or spelt instead of "Igbo". That is quite understandable. But the question is this: is there any need for that? The answer will be in asking and answering-: will there be any need for any form of outrage from a French man or woman if you spelt the romance language of the French people as "French" instead of "Français"? Your answer would be no.
That means that those offensive comments you get for spelling Igbo as Ibo are unnecessary.
The reason is because every language has a word for every other language that may differ form that language's origin name. For example in English, Francais is known as French. In French English is known as L'anglais. Whlie España is Spanish in English, it is Espagnol in French.
In Épié, for example, Ibo is called "Igbun".
So while it is "Igbo" in the eastern language, it is "Ibo" in English. So it doesn't in any way derogate the sacredness or value of the language, the people or their culture. It is just normal.
How would you feel if someone asked you: do you speak Francais? Or tu parle French? You would definitely want it the other way round. So, also is there no need getting upset with someone who says or writes "Ibo" instead of Igbo. He is writing in English, and in English "Igbo" is "Ibo". Just as "geesi" is "English" in Yoruba.
Don't forget that "gb" isn't existent in the English alphabet.
nairametrics: The name, sesame seeds, might be strange to some Nigerians, but it is a flower plant that has a variety of relatives spread across Africa. It is the most sought after cash crop in Nigeria, after cocoa and it is currently Nigeria’s leading agricultural export in the first quarter of 2018.
Though unknown to many Nigerians, the seed – popularly called Benne seed in the Northern part of Nigeria – is an important crop to the Nigerian agricultural sector in particular, and Nigeria’s non-oil sector in general. The crop is quite largely cultivated in the country, thriving in relatively poor climatic conditions.
Worldwide, there are over 4.8 million tonnes of the seeds produced yearly, with Myanmar being its largest producer. Nigeria is now the 2nd largest African producer, behind Sudan and ranked 7th in the world.
USES
The seed has numerous uses, one of which is its being a very good source of vegetable oil that contains no cholesterol, making it the most demanded vegetable oil in the world.
It can be used in pharmaceuticals, confectionery, cosmetics and many industries for paints, soaps, lubricants, shampoos, etc. Sesame seeds contain 50.5% oil and 25% protein.
akinsmail51: Grasshopper Business in Nigeria: Unconventional yet Promising Venture
Grasshopper business in Nigeria is gradually becoming a highly lucrative business in parts of northern Nigeria as the insect is fast becoming a sought-after tasty delicacy and delicious snack consumed in northern states such as Katsina, Borno, Kaduna, Kano, Jos, FCT, even Lagos and beyond.
Grasshoppers are tropical insects, which pose great danger to farmers, because they feed on plants, grasses and crops in tropical, semi-arid regions or any other areas that are favourable to their existence.
As dangerous as grasshopper is to farming, it is seen as a goldmine for some, as it is a sought-after commodity for
The military is military any day anytime 👌🏻 Military works based on instructions and order 💯
Why will you be in mammy when you were supposed to be receiving lectures, 💁🏽♂️ That’s arrant nonsense, it’s indiscipline.
You don’t flout orders and think there won’t be consequences.
I served as far back as 2012 in Enugu state, Udi local government precisely during the days of Sullivan Chime as the governor.
Don’t come online to tell us bullshit 🤷🏻♂️
This so called woke generation are so indiscipline and leverage on social media as a tool of defense while playing the victim card.
I pity for this generation.
Nobody will harass you if you are discipline and adhere strictly to instructions.👍
After five years of postgraduate experience, I got to know how the military operates because I eventually became a member,💁🏽♂️ then you would realize that most of the things done out there are totally unacceptable because everyone tends to claim rights and freedom 👌🏻 Visit any military formation and see for yourself, they are always organized just because there’s law and order. However, I detest harassment as the case may be. But the media didn’t really propagate the real cause of the chaos.🤦🏻♂️
We have all seen the kind of society we live in,🤷🏻♂️ moral decadence has taken over the climes.
The children of this generation 🤔have no regards and respect for their elders all in the name of woke generation
Let’s always have it at the back of our mind that without an action, there can’t be reactions 👌🏻
In as much as the camp commandant maybe redeployed for going to far, I also foresee that the corp members in question may as well face dismissal or withdrawal from camp based on indiscipline 🤷🏻♂️
Rebuker: Chaos at the NYSC Abuja Camp as the Camp Commandant Allegedly Assaults Corps Members
According to an eyewitness, during the regular camp lectures, some corps members would still be at the Miami market, hoping to proceed directly to the lectures from there.
Typically, at this hour, there's a rush, with some attempting to leave promptly to avoid being caught by the military and facing punishment.
While trying to pay for his meal and leave, a corps member was confronted by the camp commandant, who began assaulting him. Without allowing the corps member to explain, Commander Timiware swiftly slapped him and hurled stones at him.
A camp market seller also fell victim to the soldier's aggression. According to the market seller, she was slapped for allowing the corps member to sit under her tent.
In reaction to this unbearable brutality, corps members left their hostels and staged a serious protest, vacating their accommodations en masse.
A worried corps member at the Abuja orientation camp disclosed that military personnel have persistently been involved in physically harming corps members, a clear breach of the rules outlined by the NYSC. These regulations explicitly forbid any military officer from subjecting corps members to physical punishment during their 21-day stay in the camp.
sukkot: hehe Chief truthfully there is a group from Philadelphia called THE ROOTS, it's a rap group and they do very great music and play live instruments. Well they always say they are from ILLADELPHIA which is slang for Philadelphia is ill , which means Philadelphia is dope. I just put the K In front of it to turn it to killadelphia which is very appropriate because many people get smoked in this city lmaoooo .
Yeah you know our people think they are getting an upgrade in life when they relocate to these places but truly Babylon is falling and what they are doing is akin to integrating into a burning house so it's only right that some of our people would be caught in the crossfires. It is what it is. Symptoms and ills of a dying empire but hey let me jump into the fire and scoop up some dollars for myself and then BOOM, you out cold. It's a story of greed, restlessness, dissatisfaction, discontentment, you know, the typical naija mindset of trying to build huge treasures on earth, men and women running after earthly titles and always wanting to be validated. All folly. But hey it is what it is Chief. Lol. How is Austria ?
Very well said Sukkot... Nicely put. All the things folks are struggling for in life via "japa" or "ja pada" are illusions ultimately because we are all actors and spectators in the the grand scheme of things. We just have to keep truckin' to satisfy the essential needs in our lives till the cycle of existence ends.
On the other hand, being a great lover of topical rap songs and hip-hop myself right from the early days of Grandmaster Flash, Kool Moe Dee, LL Cool J, etc, in the 1980s, my take is that you def would have become an illest rapper and/or songwriter if you had towed that path too in addition to the medical line... "From Illadelphia to killadelphia"... Lol.
Much respect... Enjoy the rest of your day.
Cheers!
P.S. The ROOTS was co-founded by Questlove in 1987.
For the Okayplayer platform and web television OkayAfrica TV, Questlove had his DNA tested in 2011 and genealogists researched his family ancestry. Questlove's DNA revealed from both of his biological parents that he is of West African descent, specifically the Mende people (found mostly in Sierra Leone as well as Guinea and Liberia).[13]
From the PBS television series, Finding Your Roots, hosted by Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., Questlove learned in December 2017 that he was descended in part from Charles and Maggie Lewis (both of Yoruba descent), his three times great-grandparents, who had been taken captive in warfare and sold as slaves in the port of Ouidah, Dahomey (now Benin) to American ship captain William Foster. They were among 110 slaves smuggled illegally to Mobile, Alabama, in July 1860 on the Clotilda. It was the last known slave ship to carry slaves to the United States. Questlove is the only guest to have appeared on Gates's program to be descended from slaves known by name, ship, and where they came from in Africa.[14][15]
Christistruth00: Look, Benin Cannot even Swim not to talk of fighting the Awori and Ijebus who can swim like fish in Water
When it get down to the Wire and you dig deeper you will discover that the people who actually ran the show were the Itsekiri who even had Ijebu roots anyway
Na Itsekiri carry Benin come Lagos
And the Itsekiri even consider themselves to be Yoruba' People anyway
Benin People cannot Swim and they Cannot Canoe So Benin defeating Awori and Ijebus on Water is out of the Question
Just say it was the Itsekiri And the Itsekiri had Ijebu roots
samuk: STOP PROMOTING IGBO CULTURE, SAYS DEIN OF AGBOR The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Dr. Benjamin Ikenchukwu Keagborekuzi I, has enjoined his subjects to stop promoting Igbo culture, describing the Agbor culture as ‘unique and peculiar’.
IMG_9531 STOP PROMOTING IGBO CULTURE, SAYS DEIN OF AGBOR
The Dein gave the admonition at his palace recently while giving his royal blessings to the new Iregwa of Ogbemudien Community, Pa. Bogi Abagi. He called on the good people of Agbor Kingdom to join hands with him to effect the changes he desires to be in place. According to him, “I am back and happy to be in the midst of my subjects. This kind of gathering gives me joy because it is an opportunity for me to learn more from my people. There is room for change, therefore my wish and desire for my subjects is that they adopt and respect every change that is being made. Going through the history of Agbor Kingdom, one will thank the gods for wisdom. Thus, everyone will join hands with me to reposition things the way they ought to be in order to restore our lost glory”.
He called on all Agbor indigenes to preserve Agbor culture and stop promoting Igbo culture. His words, “stop giving our children Igbo names. The native names given to our children should be pronounced and written in Agbor language and not in Igbo or Ika language as Agbor has its own unique language. The Igbo red cap should also be dropped as it is not a native cap for Agbor Kingdom. Soon, I will start driving away my palace chiefs who are fond of coming to the palace, wearing in red caps. Agbor traditions should be respected and preserved for future generations. Parents and the elderly should teach our children and the youths the culture of Agbor”.
The Odion of Agbor Kingdom, Chief Julius Ochei who led the new Iregwa and the people of Ogbemudien to the Dein’s Palace for blessing, said the Iregwa title goes to the oldest man in Ogbemudien Community, stating that it is the turn of Pa. John Bogi Abagi who is 89 years and the oldest man. The Iregwa, according to Chief Ochie is the traditional head of Ogbemudein Community in Agbor Kingdom.
In a chat with Ika Weekly Newspaper Reporter, the Chairman of Ogbemudien Community, Hon. Simon Okpali lauded the Dein for his wealth of knowledge and prayed the good Lord to empower him. He expressed his confidence in the new Iregwa of Ogbemudien to lead well and thanked the Dein for his blessings.
Julius Ehiabor, the Onu-otu of Ogbemudein Community, on his part, said Pa. Abagi leadership is good and that the good people of Ogbemudien Community are happy. He prayed God to give the new Iregwa good health and long life.
Mr. Johnbull Okwuogori Aghaulor felicitating with the Iregwa, appealed to him to continue to lead them in truth. He prayed God to bless the Dein of Agbor, the Iregwa, Ogbemudein Community and Agbor Kingdom.
Responding, Pa. Abagi thanked the Dein, saying that his joy knows no bounds, while soliciting for the cooperation of every son and daughter of Ogbemudein Community to enable him give the Dein the needed support to move Agbor Kingdom forward.
vannessa7: You are so wrong, the reverse is the case, Yoruba women are the ones running from men of other tribes, who wants to miss all the great Yoruba cultures and tradition, the glitz and glammour to marry from another tribe with less sophistication. I was pursued endlessly by igbo men during my youth but I run because of what I know, women of other tribes rush our men and this one is even ready to be a second wife to a Yoruba man because of all the great things they stand to inherit in a Yoruba marriage as oppose to marriage to their own tribe.
I think your question should be why Yoruba women refuse to marry from other tribes while women from other tribes are flocking into Yoruba homes, it's just like marrying a white man when you marry into a Yoruba home, no osu caste, no drinking of dead body water, no inheritance only being for first son, wives can follow their dreams and become anything they desire, you are respected and pampered on many grounds etc Although I ended up marrying an Edo man but he was born and bread in Lagos, he is just like a Yoruba man, and I also know other Yoruba women who married outside Yoruba land as oppose to your belief, examples are late Head of state Murtala Mohameds wife, also Atiku Abubarka wife, Titi, those are just public ones.
grandstar: In my hometown Ondo alone, we have obe ilasepo. obe luku, legede and there's a 4th one.
These guys are irritants when they condemn food. It's really God they are tearing down and not men
This is very insightful. 4 soups from Ondo City. There are nearly 20 Yoruba soups I've counted now on this thread. There are definitely more that I've never heard of.
There has to be a popularization of all these Yoruba soups and cuisines in the entire Yorubaland and worldwide.
Chef Eros (Tolu Erogbogbo) is doing a lot of great things in California (where he is based as I speak) with popularizing Yoruba/Nigerian fusion foods.
masseratti: Wow, the Yoruba guys really took people trying to mock them to the cleaners on this thread, well lesson learned don't talk about others if you don't know much about them.
Indeed... I love their doggedness in denouncing FALSE information and the insights in listing up to 15 different Yoruba nutricious soups here and there's even more.
Moneywomen17: yes efo riro is not one dish it is several dish with several different vegetables like he said the most popular are the one u likely eat. There is several Yoruba soup beyond the usual ewedu and gbegiri most people just talk about ignorantly. Gbegiri and ewedu are cheap option to prepare and it’s a delicacy for some certain Yoruba sub tribe in the Lagos, oyo region and that’s why it’s very common and popular but if u come to places like ondo, ekiti, and some places in Ogun State and go to the restaurants u will likely not see ewedu there. Correct Yoruba soup are not really prepared in the city not that am not saying the city soup is not good oo but go to the village and u will see correct soup wey most of the ingredients wey dem use cook am na fresh from farm or their backyard. U go bite tongue.
I am going to make an entire thread of Yoruba cuisine from the hinterlands cutting across every state and region in our domain very soon.
@Scholes0, Thanks for your insights on this thread of 2018 on Yoruba cuisines.
Did you eventually get to create an entire thread of Yoruba cuisine (Soups and more) from the hinterlands like you said? I found this thread again after many years and I'm really impressed about the education on all Yoruba soups here and how you took those creeps and ethnic bigots on Page1 and others to the cleaners for always taunting gbegiri and ewedu soups (even as of 2023), when infact Yorubas have close to 20 soups or even more based on what what you guys posted here.
I will suggest you post the fully pictorial Yoruba cuisine/ Yoruba soups thread in the NL food section, then get or quote the 3 SuperMods especially @Dom.... because she's a Yoruba and she'll definitely assist in putting it on the home page and it will go viral online as well.
Moneywomen17: them never chop authentic Yoruba village food with correct ingredients dem go dey talk ask them what Yoruba soup they know na only ewedu and gbegiri I bet they don’t even know enfinrin stew ok but they appoint themselves expert on Yoruba despite having little knowledge about what they are saying
Moneywomen17: e pain u well keep crying there. It’s common knowledge to who. Am a Yoruba man I want to eat this soup efo riro, ila alasepo, ewedu, gbegiri, obe shapa and efo with egusi. If I wan chop rice no stew beat the Yoruba stew for rice especially the ayamese stew for ofada rice. Am not one to argue about Ordinary soup hell I would not be here if u did not make attempt to diss my people soup but here i am. If ur soup is sweet to u gud it probably should be but if the “obvious truth” according to u is ur ibo soup is better u are living in winter wonderland
efo riro, ila alasepo, ewedu, gbegiri, obe shapa and efo with egusi.
Visit authentic Yoruba villages in my state and let them cook good food for you.
What most igbos don't realize that the so called signature meals in bukas or parties are just quick fixes made either for their simplicity, economic feasibility, maneuverability or ability to keep/last.
Its like eating ramen or noodle in Beijing as an expatriate there and you start complaing that Chinese cuisine is shit because that is what your scope of their food is LIMITED to. You can find good food all over Nigeria.... Even people who complain they hausas have got "no food" will still rob a bank just to buy kilishi or Suya.
scholes0: Ekpankukwo is simply seafood added to a vegetable stew wrapping grated cocoyam(mostly periwinkles) it is sweet no doubt, so yeah I have eaten it, I have eaten Owo, groundnut soup and the rest. They are just OKAY not too good. but then maybe that is just me, because I have a bias for soups made from leafy vegetables. Besides I haven't mentioned any soups from Ondo state here like Marugbo, so I wonder where you are getting the assertion in your last statement from, lol SS people overestimate the presence of Ijaws in Ondo state. Do you know that ijaws only have slightly more than half of one local government in Ondo state? and that LG isn't exactly one of most populated ones. Ese Odo is mixed Ijaw apoi, Ijaw Arogbo and Yoruba. You can live in Akure, Ondo state for 10 years and not see an Ijaw person so I wonder how they would manage to influence what the people there eat with their inuscule presence.
