Not surprised. AtikuNetwork. I believe that's what will continue to happen if Atiku succeeds

The title of this thread is misleading

I will rather have a governor who is working on his state than this midget we have here.

Nigerians don't like to pay money to see a match at the stadium...... But football can generate much incomes and revenue for a state if properly managed.....


The TP hub will also on its own generate revenues owing to the population in Lagos.....


We can't compare these two.... What we should be looking out for is, if its maintenance cost will align with its income rate!!

Weren't you the same guy complaining that Ikeja terminal wasn't world class, now they brought you world class again you still say is a white elephant project guy what is it that you want?

The attempt to educate you was a white elephant project.

It's either you're typing from one backward village with no prospects or you are suffering from factory fitted ignorance.

There's an ongoing rail project in Lagos and rail stations are being built.

Oshodi bus terminal is a white project my reasons, dey are suppose 2 build a rail not bus which country dats developing builds bus stations in 21st century and mny have been embezzled

So they intend cutting out of the 3lane one-way lane to a 2 lane to accommodate BRT? Do they realise how busy this road is?what if a trailer or a car spoils. We don't have strategists in govt.it is just to do contracts and collect kick-backs

It's sickening to always see these comments on Nairaland about project figures being overly high and sorts.
My question is: how many of you have carried out proper evaluation of the cost of these projects and how they arrived at the figures quoted? None?

It's becoming too cliché seeing these comments on posts that showcase public projects; It's like 100% expecting rain after lightning and thunder.

If we no see projects we go complain, If we see project, we go complain of phantom looting; I tire!

We need to develop our minds above this sort of pettiness, shouting that money has been looted without proof or evidence of it's existence.

In Fact!

AtikuNetwork, I can't think of a better way to demarket one's principal. He is enmeshed in accusations of fraud particularly in the 1999-2007 privatisation process and the best thing you can do for him is make such a statement?

Are you trolling Atiku?

Lomprico2:
Do u even know what a 'white elephant project' is at all op??

AtikuNetwork:
Akpabio did well by building that stadium in Uyo and the Lagos government is also doing well for building the Oshodi terminal. These are infrastructures that we see and admire when we go to other foreign countries like South Africa, Europe, America, etc but when we try to replicate it here some people must complain. We should learn to give credit to our governors that are trying to modernize our infrastructures and stop this enemy-of-progress behavior that complains whenever infrastructures are upgraded please.

JohnieWalker:
Both are white elephant project but football can generate more if only our govt know how to run it

Adekdammy:
If the amount is just for the hub minus the road that leads to the airport, then Ambode is fantastically corrupt but whichever way, take both the stadium and the hub to another country and you will be amazed that they might not even spend up to half of the total amount.

Appropriateness, Cost Benefit and Opportunity Cost

Add Transparency to that. (Do some research on public administration and public procurement - public is mentioned before these two words because the elected official or appointee is holding 'public trust')




If a man who has five children and earns 500k a month decides to send one child to American International School and the other four to Jakande school would that make sense?

Q1. Which Buses and what passengers are going to use the Ikeja Bus Terminal?
Q2. What is a Bus Terminal?
Q3. Is the Bus Terminal along an established transportation route?
Q4. Have you seen any World Class Bus Terminal where you first walk past the buses you are going to embark THEN enter the Ticketing Hall before exiting again to go back to where you started from?
Q5. How much did the Bus Terminal Cost?
Q6. Was the Lagos State Public Procurement Law followed?

Q1. Have you seen any Transport Interchange with Offices and shops built ab initio ABOVE it?
Q2. Who will rent the Offices and Shops and at What Cost?
Q3. If I can build 23 Bus Interchanges with the amount I'm using to build just one shouldn't I in the interest of the Public reconsider and evaluate Cost Benefit?

Intolerance to others' views or perceived ignorance is not a sign of intelligence.

It might be a sign of superiority BUT no one knows everything (FACT), HOW will you know that you do not know and who will then educate you on that which you do not know if you hold superiority over others?

mapet:


Bros,

I have come to the conclusion that there is no way we can assert what an ideal value of govt contract is. Even if you add the road "all-join" Nigerians will still complain. I believe we should focus on advocating that projects once started should be completed within reasonble time so that we can start to derive value from it.

Bros,

Permit me to 'humbly" react to these your posers like these;

1. I believe the basic tenets (assumed) in public space discourse is for us to engage with candor and a sense of responsibility to how we present what should be knowledge. If the guy had come on the premise of asking to be educated in this regard, it would have been different. Why would you make emphatic statements and gaffes on something you do not know zilch about?

2. This is absolutely not intolerance to others' views. It is simply a call to a certain basic level of "discipline" in discourse or debates. The discipline is that you do not put out as facts statements that are false and expect not to be challenged; neither can you recourse to asking to be educated when you have made false assertion........."to thine own-self be true..............", what you don't know simply own up that you don't

3. No one knows everything...absolutely TRUE. no one is supposed to. We all contribute to knowledge so that we can as a collective know more. Following from this, you will then understand the danger of someone adding falsehood to knowledge.....

4. How will you know that you don't know? Simple. ACKNOWLEDGE IT when you don't know. Don't give a posture that you do when you don't

Cheers

,

A transparency public bid evaluation process would actually give you the true cost of a project, so was such a process followed and where are the list of the world class firms that took part in the bid round and there previous project track records.
