 Nairaland / General / Re: FG To Take Over Expansion Of Lagos- Badagry Express Way by klas(m): 8:31am On Sep 23, 2014 |
Lagos - Badagry expressroad is a federal government road. For Lasg to have taken over its reconstruction means that FG must have agreed to refund the cost or concession it to Lasg to toll and recover its money. If the FG now feels it has got money to handle it, all well and good. All we need is good road even if constructed by United Nations. |
| Education / Re: Schools In Lagos Now To Resume On 8th October. by klas(m): 12:00am On Sep 22, 2014 |
toolovely: Just surprised at people... When the fg announced that schools resume oct 16th, you where all here bashing d fg. Now because fashola directs schools to resume on oct 8, ur now hailing him... Hypocrites Remember that the special adviser to the lagos governor issued a statement about a week ago on behalf of the state government that the September 22 date fixed by the FG is 'eminently justifiable' and that schools in lagos would resume on 22nd. The reason for the new postponement is because the conditions laid down by the FG had not been fully complied with. These include provision of sanitation items and training of staff on Ebola. NUT had made it known that it's members would not teach until the conditions are met. |

InwehAkpevwe: Even wen GEJ don talk say na 22nd sept 2014... Fashola d cleaver guy is saying sth else... The date announced by the FG is advisory and the earliest date any school in the federation may reopen. Each state is to study its own peculiarity and make necessary adjustment. Exposure to Ebola in lagos, rivers and to some extent Enugu states is not the same as Kwara for instance. 1 Like |

Even though the news is fake since the meeting had not been held as at the time he posted, FG should not fix 29 September because in that week, there are only 2 working days. Wednesday, Oct 1 is independence day while thursday and friday october 2 and 3 will be public holidays for eid-el-kabir. |
| Foreign Affairs / Re: Ebola: Donald Trump Wants US To Stop All Flights From West Africa To The US by klas(m): 10:48am On Aug 06, 2014 |
Unless the man actually mean that all West Africans (not flights) should be banned from traveling, then there is no solution in his suggestion. In the first instance, only four countries - Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal and Cape Verde have direct flights to US. I have been to US many times and have never taken direct flights. Infact, the mid-east airlines are my preferred choice. So how does flight ban solve the problem? Secondly, what of non west Africans living in west africa? If nigeria had banned flights from Liberia, Senegal and guinea earlier, how would that have prevented Sawyer from coming in? His flights were from Ghana to Togo to Nigeria. Those countries are not on Ebola list. The solution is in WHO recommendation that the disease is not contagious until the patient actually fall ill. So an ill-looking passenger of whatever origin should be tested and monitored. |

anonimi: I wanted to reply you when you quoted my initial post but delafruita answered you already But seeing that you are not satisfied, let me refresh your memory. The decision of the court was that even though obj and Atiku ran on the same ticket, they have separate electoral mandate. Their joint ticket ends the day they were elected not after. In my post, I said judiciary. It does not matter whether the case ended in high, or appeal or supreme court. You don't need to pursue a bad case to the ultimate court. |
| Politics / Re: Defection: We Can’t Declare Reps Seats Vacant, INEC Tells PDP by klas(m): 3:18pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
anonimi: mikeansy: Not always. The same judiciary ruled against Obj in favour of Atiku when Atiku defected to ACN as a sitting vice- president. I think pdp played into the hands of the defectors. The whole idea of the charade called the New-pdp was to create the impression that the pdp was factionalized thus providing the legal basis for the legislators to defect without repercussion. Pdp should have wielded the big stick long ago e.g it could have embarked on re-registration of members then. Anybody that failed to register ceased to be member and cannot claim factionalisation. 6 Likes |

| Business / Re: Stanbic Bank Attacks Nigerias Ecommerce Sites Jumia, Quickteller, Voguepay, Paga by klas(m): 9:10am On Dec 20, 2013 |
Let us cut down on sentiments. For God sake, Stanbic is not firstbank, or uba, not even skyebank. How many customers do they have and what proportion of those customers transact business with the suspended organizations by using Stanbic card? So, what will Stanbic try to achieve when it is not even the first choice bank of many Nigerians? Mind u, in the case of quickteller, it is only airtime topup that is suspended not even the major service of quickteller. Gtb once suspended using their ATM (machine not card) to settle quickteller payments. I don't even think they ever restore that service till now yet we didn't accuse them of improper business behavior. 1 Like |

Get the facts right 1. He represents his ondo state constituency in the House of Representatives in Abuja not House of Assembly in Akure 2. He represents the oil producing riverine area of ondo state and which is a part of NNDC. 3. He is possibly an Ijaw from ondo state because his constituency covers the area habited by them 4.

[b]SUMMARY First segment How the Northern Peoples Congress won the 1959 Federal election without fielding a single candidate in the whole South and how Awolowo seeing the reality of the indomitability of the North planned to wrest power through coup since south can never defeat the north in a democratic election. Second segment Why the northern elders smuggled Yar'adua in with the connivance of the army chief without the knowledge of GEJ because they feared the southern acting president might do what Biya (a Cameroonian southern acting president) did to Ahidjo (an ailing Cameroonian northern substantive president) in the 80s Third segment Ekwueme hates the whole north with passion and that was why the north also paid him back in full measure during the pdp presidential primaries in 1999. He averred that Ekwueme was silly to believe that the 1983 buhari coup was targeted at him and not Shagari and that Ekwueme championed the idea of six geo-political zones in 1995 conference to split the north.[/b] 5 Likes |

^^ That is what the insurance component is all about. It is for comprehensive insurance payable annually. The interest of the bank will be noted in the policy as the loss-payee. So the claim payment goes to the bank first not the borrower. |

| Business / Re: The Effect Of Sanusi's Exchange Policy - (Black-Market: N173 To $1) by klas(m): 7:40pm On Nov 13, 2013 |
Omila007: Let me explain a bit how it works 1. Naira is not a convertible currency unlike dollar, pound sterling, euro and very few other currencies in the world. Note that even China currency is not fully convertible 2. A convertible currency is the one that can be readily bought or sold without government restrictions, in order to purchase another currency. A convertible currency is a liquid instrument when compared to currencies tightly controlled by a central bank or other regulating authority. 3. There are two principal sources for forex in nigeria - through CBN (got from oil sale) and independent other sources. For every dollar or other convertible money you spent which is funded in naira, it means the CBN must fund it through our foreign reserve and collect naira from you otherwise you must fund it through independent sources (Bureau de change or black market). 4. Ordinarily, bureau de Change and black market should principally fund their operation from private non-oil sources but due to Naija factor, by way of round-tripping by banks, CBN ended up funding them from our foreign reserve. An illegality . 5. When everything was bouyant and with high oil prices and increasing foreign reserve, cbn could afford to turn blind eye to the abnormal funding but with decreasing oil revenue and reserve, it cannot continue on that note without economic disaster hence the action by cbn. 6. The depreciation of naira value in bdc and black market is a natural fall-out to show that it had all along been artificially and illegally propped up in the past. Unless there is increase in oil revenue, the current low exchange rate of dollar to naira in the official market cannot be sustained for long and naira value will have to depreciate also in the official market. You read in today's papers that our forex reserve had fallen to $44 billion from $49 billion it was some months ago, that is the effect of defending naira value in the official market by the cbn. 2 Likes |

| Politics / Re: Oduah Shuns House Committee Hearing As Cars Presented Are Different by klas(m): 6:53am On Oct 31, 2013 |
The due process that Coscharis man was talking about (as I understand it) include 1. He got NSA and SSS clearance to import bullet-proof vehicles as required by law. 2. BMW through Coscharis sponsored the sport festival hosted by Lagos state government which means lagos will not pay a kobo for the vehicles. 3. In accordance with normal practice in such situation, the federal ministry of finance gave import duty waivers for the free (sponsor) vehicles. The duty waiver was not granted because the vehicles were imported for the state govt but because they were sponsor vehicles so as to reduce the cost to the sponsor. 4. At the end of the sport event, the used cars are supposed to be sold off at reduced prices. Any shortfall that remain is regarded as advertisement cost. Note that the new buyers are required to pay a pro-rated import duty (part of what was initially waived) to the Customs just like if you buy auctioned goods at the embassies. So it is not as if the Customs will lose everything. The inappropriate thing I could notice here is that not all the 300 vehicles that was promised for the sport event was imported for the event while the waiver authorization was used to import vehicles not related to the event. The report does not indicate what eventually happened to the used vehicles and if duty was eventually paid by the subsequent buyers. 2 Likes |

church Agbasa: Name any Speaker or President of the Senate of Northern origin that was ever impeached. Even Salisu Buhari of Toronto fame voluntarily stepped down and participated in hand picking his successor - Ghali Naabaa. Upon all what Na'abaa did to Obj including impeachment attempt and the presidency several attempts to remove him, he completed his term. His successor - Bello Masari also completed his own tenure despite being anti-third term yet Nnamani (the then senate president) was harangued for the same offence by the presidency. David Mark is about completing 8 years term. Okadigbo was easily removed because almost all eastern senators wanted to taste that seat hence the backstabbing and lack of unanimity in the southeast caucus thus allowing enemy to wedge in. 2 Likes |
