Beautifulday:
The road you are talking about according to you took three presidents to do. Obasanjo laid the foundation. You said Obasanjo focused on road going to the north. That means he was more interested in connecting Nigeria by road than connecting Yoruba villages by road. That is how he built the best economy Nigeria ever witnessed.

Since leaders started going sectional in their development. The economy has started declining.

It took him eight years to lay foundation of a road that can be constructed within 3 years maximum

How does a road meant for the northerners translate to a national road.

For your information, after lagos Ibadan express road, lagos -Abeokuta express road is the busiest in the South West

Chekwume16:
Ur mumu sef too much. If you don't know the issues at stake just shut up

Most of the new refineries are located between South South and Southwest and to cater for resultant traffic of heavy tankers, there is need to open up new highway.

Benin ore express road is the only high way directly connecting the South South to South West despite the growth in population and economic activities.

For a futuristic leader, there is need to open up new roads for the regions for ease of economic activities and improve security. The answer to that is lagos - Calabar coastal highway.

Most of the new refineries are located between South South and Southwest and to cater for resultant traffic of heavy tankers, there is need to open up new highway.

No northerner will call it a waste if government decides to construct highway into every town. It is in the Southern Nigeria that they will complain and call response a corruption.

Obasanjo flag off reconstruction of lagos-Abeokuta express road in 2006 5 years after he took over but abandoned the project after skeletal works. Up till today, the road is still not finished.

Significant work on the express road was done by Yaradua who constructed the Sango bridge, then Buhari who did one lane, then Tinubu who did remaining lane. It was reported that Obasanjo was shamefully caught up by incessant traffic on lagos-Abeokuta express road after his tenure.

Obasanjo didn't call Sokoto-Badagry highway a waste of resources. Most the road he constructed under his tenure was to the north. Tinubu is the first president to give top priority to the major road in Southern part of Nigeria.

Tinubu is not Fulanis ass leakers, he doesn't give a damn.

Lagos Calabar - coastal highway is a vital project. The road would be used by Nigerians not Tinubu family.

Best and productive ideas in others countries becomes stale when it is practiced in Nigeria.

The need to have local refineries, curb fuel scarcity, end capital flight and create employment opportunities made Nigerians to agitate for locally refined oil, rice mill.

Now, what do we have? Our local oil marketerd are agitating for increased fuel price instead of them to quit oil business when it is no longer profitable.

They told Nigerians that they will get cheaper oil abroad and refused to patronize local refineries.

Buhari government put total ban on rice importation to boost local production. But no, instead of boosting local production of rice. Nigerian rice farmers and millers find it more profitable to hoard the food, create scarcity and rice price jump from 10,000 naira to 90,000 +, creating starvation all over the country.

I think the 1 trillion dollars in the write up is a typo

Dear Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara,

I have perused your letter inviting the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, and other Honorable members to a meeting at the Rivers State Government House. I appreciate your efforts towards fostering a harmonious understanding of the current situation, as it signals your realization of the import of this moment.

As an advocate for detente and rapprochement in restoring peace in the state, I view this development as a positive step.

Your Excellency, I shall be forthright and concise, as I am confident that this note will receive your attention.

I have examined the proposed agenda for the meeting, as outlined in the letter of invitation that you authorized.

However, Your Excellency, as a scholar of international law and diplomacy, with extensive coursework in peace and conflict resolution, I believe that including the sitting venue for the Assembly's legislative work as the first agenda item may be a strategic misstep. In light of past events, I fear that reaching a consensus on this issue may prove challenging.

Every seasoned diplomat and negotiator understands that initiating rapprochement after a prolonged period of hostility with a highly contentious issue as the first agenda item is counterproductive, especially in a situation where there has been no amity.

Remember, Your Excellency, that there was a brutal conflict which resulted in an internecine legal war. A Victor and vanquished already emerged. It is you, Your Excellency, that should now woo and court the Assembly members because they are in a stronger legal position. Doing that with an ultra-contentious issue will not show mastery.

I therefore humbly suggest, Your Excellency, that if changing the current venue of sitting is even necessary. the issue be addressed after several confidence-building meetings have been held and common ground has been established, and not at this first meeting.

I write this bona fides and in the interest of peace in the state.

Thank you.

—Chief Kennedy Friday

When the going was good before ...

Some women move too close to men and later come back to complain sexual harassment

Is sexual harassment allegation real? Or

Is the woman trying to weaponize her look?

Northern farmers are wicked. They are hoarding foods, creat scarcity and increase the price. When rain flood their farms, they still run to government and collect money

Buhari fell for their tricks, but I don't think Tinubu is buying their foolish idea.

Buhari closed the border the Northern farmers increased price of bag of rice to 30,000 from 10,000 and later 50,000 and continues.

So Israel two is suffering the result of aggression

Good to know

I want to appeal to those mocking the death of Dr. Doyin Okupe as some kind of divine retribution for his so called 'sins' against them and or their heroes, to understand some things.

Dr. Doyin Okupe was my friend and colleague. He had a terminal cancer diagnosis and knew that he was going to die. His death is sad, but it is not a surprise.

He was in Israel receiving terminal cancer treatment until the crisis with Gaza occurred, and the hospital where he was being treated got bombed. Thereafter, he returned to Nigeria. But for the Gaza incident, he would have remained in Israel.

Despite his diagnosis, he continues to work as a patriot, giving his all to Nigeria. Thus, I find it despicable and hurtful to his memory for individuals to keep mocking him, saying that he passed on before them or that he will never rest in peace.

Dr. Doyin Okupe and I were in close communication until he died. He was a courageous man. He did not commit any sin against Peter Obi. Many of you now attacking him may not be able to bravely face life and continue working and smiling as if nothing was wrong with you after a doctor has informed you that you would die. But he did it. Please let him rest in peace.

The man is dead. You and I will also die. He lived a good life. However, if you disagree, then leave him for God to Judge.

Thanks, and may God bless you all.https://www.facebook.com/share/1AHooH45b1/

AI Overview

Having a wet dream during a fast, such as during Ramadan, does not invalidate the fast as it is an involuntary act beyond one's control. However, you should perform a ghusl (a full ritual bath) to purify yourself from the state of janabah (impurity).
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Wet dreams and fasting:
Wet dreams are normal, involuntary occurrences, and they do not break a fast.
The ruling:
Scholars agree that a wet dream does not invalidate a fast because it is outside of a person's control.
The need for ghusl:
If a wet dream occurs during a fast, you are still required to perform a ghusl (a full ritual bath) to cleanse yourself from the state of janabah (impurity).
No need to make up the fast:
You do not need to make up the fast day if you have a wet dream during the fasting hours.
Example:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Three things do not break the fast of the fasting person: cupping, vomiting, and the wet dream

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday presented a Certificate of Approval to the FirstBank Group for the construction of its iconic 43-storey eco-friendly headquarters in Eko Atlantic City.


Governor Sanwo-Olu, accompanied by his Special Adviser on eGIS and Urban Development, Dr. Olajide Abiodun Babatunde, and General Manager of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LABSCA), Arc. Gbolahan Oki, presented the Certificate of Approval to the Chairman, FirstHoldCo, Mr. Femi Otedola, and the CEO, FirstBank Group, Mr. Olusegun Alebiosu, during the groundbreaking ceremony of the bank headquarters at Eko Atlantic City.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, while commending the development of Eko Atlantic City as a model for Africa, praised President Bola Tinubu for taking a bold step during his tenure as Governor to turn the Atlantic Ocean known as Bar Beach into Eko Atlantic City.


The Governor said he had seen several investments come to the Eko Atlantic City but believes that the First Bank headquarters is the investment that will change the future of the city.

He said: "Just yesterday (Tuesday), we laid the foundation for Lagos Financial International Centre. We told ourselves that we want to set Lagos on a trajectory that it would be the envy not only in Africa but the entire world. We want Lagos to be the centrepiece of finance and commerce out of Africa.


"It would be Africa's model mega city that is safe, secure, and willing to take the mantle of leadership also in the financial sector. And less than 24 hours after the meeting, Mr. Femi Otedola has brought us here (Eko Atlantic City) to begin the realisation of a Lagos International Financial Centre."


Governor Sanwo-Olu, while commending the audacity of Femi Otedola, the board and management of FirstBank Group in building the bank’s headquarter in Eko Atlantic City, charged other financial institutions to follow suit.

"This is a clarion call to other big financial institutions. FirstBank, as usual, has been the first bank in our country to lead the road; it is now time for all of you to follow suit. I am ready to do the groundbreaking. I will create enabling environments for investors to bring their investments into Eko Atlantic City," he said.


The groundbreaking event was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Governors Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) and Lucky Aiyedatiwa (Ondo), Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat; former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki; business magnates, Gilbert and Roland Chagoury, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Mr. Femi Otedola, Dr. Deji Adeleke, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, and Senator Daisy Danjuma, among others.

I thought nairalanders said Canada will die off if they stop exporting to the US.



Nobody or country is indispensable.
If you are pushed you take a walk.

This is why same people were blaming Zelensky for not grovelling and accepting a deal without knowing what is in it for him.

Canada is to US ,like North Korea is to China

Botragelad:

They'll likely do it if they have to. Most countries will defend their "honor" and push back. That's just how it goes.

It's not likely to happen

Europe economy and defense are deeply enmeshed in that of US. And largely favours US than Europe. The development came up after second world war. Europe saw America as Messiah after the war and accept everything from US hook line and sinker.

Ironically, Soviet Union play major role in the defeat of Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler experience made Europe to be paranoid about Russia and then made Europe itself to be the aggressor. Russia is not in anyway at fault.

Europe helped US invade Iraq, Libya , Afghanistan and support US genocide policy on Palestine against their own conscience just to please US and Israel in exchange for US support against potential threats i.e Russia and China. These former Soviet Union countries are powerful and advanced but very peaceful.

So Europe suspicion is consuming it rather than the perceived threat itself.

DiasGodinHeaven:



I thought they can do without the USA?

Why should Nigerians go through unnecessary sufferings ?

If real price of petrol is 600 hundred as many insinuated before dangote Refinery begin operation, they please sell instead of basing everything on demand and supply

May be due to law enforcement
