Gbawe:

Yoy are still a sad cretin. I quoted a well-referenced source and you are foaming at the mouth disproportionately because Osun is represented in a positive light. Are we not back to the coco of the matter i.e any positive news about the SW draws out rants of jealous rage from you and you ilk?

The sad truth is that you are just a repellent creature of hate otherwise what are you doing on this thread mentioning that I quote osundefenders when you have nothing at all to say about the topic? You cannot hide your 'issues'. To do that you would have to mind your business which is totally impossible for folks like you.

Okija juju: You mean it took them 30 years to build this crap?

Do these Yoruba people realise that we are in 2013!? The era of space travel, super computers, etc.

Even by 1995 standards, this market looks like SHIIT..

jusRadical:


Na wa o o! No be small thing. 30 years just to build an ordinary market that a Local Government Council will bulid in 2 years.

Desola: This is lovely. I am so far impressed by the doings of the ACN governors. I just hope that they maintain this same momentum so that Ondo can open their eyes to the treacherous fool they installed as governor. I used to tout for that swine but now I know better.

ACN all the way! For as long as they continue to be true though. I would cast my vote to change them at the drop of a hat if they show signs of going the PDP way.

Sai Yoruba land!

Hhahahahahahaaaaa

Why should I bad belle wetin no go affect me..

I simply want to hold our governments to a certain level of standard. Even by local government standards, this market is f*cking poor. Especially now that we are expecting a year of heavy down pour of rains.

How much does it cost to build a proper mordern market? This thing is not fit for 2013.

Look at the markets Fashola built in Lagos?

E be like say you and your people dey forbid better thing.

wanderlust007: Dont u undastand simple english?... i think it was built in less than a year... wat they meant was that a market lyk dat has never been built in d last 30years...

My brother.. We are both saying the same thing.. It took them 30 years to build a new market and they built the market to the same design spec as they would have if they had built it 30 years ago. That's what my post meant. It wasn't literal but figurative.

Laalamed: Okija juju is a critic. Pls ignore him. The market is star 3 market which is not bad. In the future govt would build star 5 market.

naptu2: Okija Juju has come under serious attack for his comments in recent weeks. Sometimes it seems like all the posters on a thread are taking shots at him.


But seriously, I think people like him are also valuable. As we keep making developmental progress, it's also important that we should not let the government rest on its oars. I believe that the market is ok and even much better than what we've had in the past. However, we'll all benefit if we can push our governments to do even better than they are doing, to be more cutting edge and to break the mould.

Okija juju:


3 stars by your standards my friend..

In my book, that market gets a one star.

By 2020, I hope to see us having general markets that have central air conditioning, central refrigeration units, and other world class amenities.

Boy2boy:
I wonder if you really mean this your "vision 2020" where pepper sellers shop are installed with AC while basic amenities like stabLe electricity, good motorable roads, pipe borne water etc still delude us or you're just being DAFT?

Afam4eva: We should be competing with the best in the world. We should not be comfortable in the level where we are at the moment. All this local shades need to be made away with for a more good looking and top notch market. This is why i like the Enugu, Lagos and Akwa-Ibom governments. For them, it has to be the best.

[b]all I can do my brother is hope.. Hope that other Nigerians can have faith in this nation like I do. I hold a dual citizenship and yet chose Nigeria over my other country. This market irks me. I'm disappointed that my fellow Nigerians celebrate this bullshit. I drove on Owerri - Port harcourt road and saw Arab contractors building the road, Abagworo celebrates that road which is a dual carriage way, I weep for that road because it is below par in terms of quality. I hope to see steady electricity, good dual carriage roads with proper covered drainages and street lights, to see streets with proper street signs and half fences and trees, schools with white markers boards, wifi and e-libraries, e.t.c.. All I can do is hope. I'm not in government neither do I work for the government, but I have a voice, I can criticise them constructively.. I can share ideas that they can take and improve on. This market is rubbish, fit only for a third world country.

Call me daft.. But this is my dream, this is my wish, this is my mission.

The government just wasted our hard earned money again. You, I and our kids wiill pay for this rubbish in the not too distant future.. The pepper seller of today can be the pepper processors of tomorrow, just because they were hawking on the streets today does not mean they will be hawking tomorrow. Fashola is thinking of the future of Lagos, Akpabio is timing for the future of Akwa Ibom, Amaechi is thinking of the future of Rivers State, Abuja is already 10 years ahead of Lagos which is the second best city in Nigeria, Oyo syate governor is living in the past.

I'm sorry, but maybe of this were built in a remote village of Oyo, by a local government chairman, then I would share the sentiments of others, but not in one of Nigerias top 5 major cities.. [/b]

Garri the 1st:

Same you who criticized the "Opon-Imo" saaying it's unsustainable because of costs is advocating for a world-class market.

Same Okija who criticized Aregberascal for launching a radio program saying many of the people cannot afford radios.

How many of these market women can afford to rent shops if he builds it to the standard of shoprite?? If he builds it to world class standard and puts the cost at say N100k per month you and ur gang will be here to accuse him of not considering the poor people. Na wa for una ooo...

Interestingly people from your region who are least affected by this market are the ones with the loudest voices of condemnation for a wise, practical and laudable project.

Why expect leopards not to have spots??

emiye:
This is reportedly the first major market that will be constructed in the ancient city in over three decades. The last market was constructed in 1980.

embellish their shine, shine, shagbe l'oju yoyo projects with LIES
Could it be because they also know these "achievements" are medicore and must qualify it in a BOGUS way somehow?

In 1989, during the tenure of Governor Abdul Kareem Adisa as Military Governor of Old Oyo State and the reign of Oba Yesufu Oloyede Ashanike as the Olubadan of Ibadanland, New Gbagi International Market was relocated from its old location in Ogunpa to its present site. This as a result of flooding that destroys and carried away their goods.
In 1991, sellers were motivated to vacate Ogunpa to the present site by Gov Adisa.

Okija juju:

[b]nigeria is poor because of its poor mentality.

I put forward a solution. Even this market is definitely gonna be above the reach of the average pepper seller. They don't have to buy these shops out, how about financing, how about long term mortgages. Lagos is building a light rail train transport system to decongest traffic, some state governors are spending millions to purchase vehicles and flood their little available roads. Lets start thinking ahead of ourselves. I hate flying, so I drive to destinations that I can. When In Europe, I board fast trains. The FG is spending billions to build railroads for chuchu trains that most other advanced nations are fazing out. It's your dream to see Nigeria compete with the west in terms of infrastructure yet you celebrate this? How do you marrying the two.

The time for progressive change is now, not tomorrow. That I am least affected does not count for jack squat. Whatsoever thing we fail to do today is work carried forward for the future generation. [/b]

topazjosh: and you must be so stupid for calling a man old enough to be your father fool,wait o,how is he a fool?
When the same mimiko started constructing same markets allover the state,na u tinubu asslickers they call him name,dey misyarn rubbish say na local government dey build such market,u pple get problem I swear,eyin amunibuni eye ibiye yii,mimiko may not be the best but him don try,later u go come here dey shout one opon ofo like say na every osun students don get am,anything outside A C N na bad tin 4 u,and FYI u tinubu and aregbe ass lickers next time u pple are talking about A C N or APC stop using southwest as cover up,na u dey make those nna dude talk wetin dem suppose no talk.
