mapet: Mapet na wah for you oh! ![]() So you sabi d koko of d matter come dey form? ![]() You are spot on as per PPP being abused in these parts and used as SPVs to circumvent established procurement laws in order to create opacity, non-competitiveness as well as siphon funds. However, even the normal rules for PPP should yield a good return for everyone. Contractors have to make profit. The people need infrastructure (as established via a needs assessment) and the nation needs development. This must be within just parameters. PPPs done right are not evil or opaque. 3 Likes |

0monnak0da: I believe you're referring to my post shey? With due respect your submission (underlined) above, such orientation is the exact reason why our growth has been slow. We always think about what we will consume today with no thought on building what will sustain us tomorrow Secondly, see as you ignorantly "scored an own-goal" in the bolded part. Qatar is not building everything from scratch......and nobody wins hosting right based on "fat bank account"; or better still, lemme guess, following the tot process from your submission, cities like Rio de Janeiro(Brazil), USA-Mexico-Canada (joint bidders for 2026), Others in the past (Germany, South Africa, South Korea) had nothing but....what did you call it again.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

mapet: Why must I be referrng to you? Who are you? Thnkng about what you eat today just ensures that you are alive tomorrow. It s the correct orientaton to want a job!! don't see what your problem wth that is if you die today you can never grow tomorrow. When you show me how a Stadium in Uyo is their priorty we can talk Qatar s not a fotballng naton t has not got n place the nfrastructure and won based on a promse to BUILD That promse is credble based on FAT BANK ACCOUNT So Qatar is not comparable to Brazil whch has hosted the Cup and won t several times IT IS BUILDING FROM SCRATCH Our youths are desperate they need jobs Accordng to you we should not be thinking of jobs otherwse we won't grow?

three: Don't get me wrong. I am somewhat in agreement with the underlined as the ultimate objective......but I will be pragmatic to say that the boys that introduced PPP to us have moved on at "Jet-Speed" while regulation is still doing "warm up" |

three: Do you want to stretch this? His reasons automatically translate to personal opinions to "safe-land" your narrative? "His reasons" are not an indication of making assertive statements presumed to be facts? Ok Lemme try this The Pope is an impostor.....my reasons......A black man should have been elected and his ascension to the papacy..was through bribery |

CofOLandOfPeace:AyamStarch: :Whitter Elephant project he asked for public opinion about. Interesting though. But our leaders need to be transparent. @ you both, I think it is important to bring to the fore the dictionary meaning of "White Elephant" white elephant - a possession that is useless or troublesome, especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of. from the above and many perspective people try to spin it, can both be termed White Elephant? |

mapet: Nairaland is robust because it allows discourse. Many come here to read comments - some for enlightenment, some for entertainment, some to educate others etc. Anyone can make a supposition. It is left for them to prove that supposition or be ignored. Your example above is interesting. Some said there were black ancestors on the lineage of the house of Windsor, this sounded outlandish at first but references were made based on research. There is yet to be offered immutable proof but there exists some probability that a black royal existed. The point is, hear people out, apply reason to the premise, if it falls short, draw the individuals attention to where it falls short, in turn offering verifiable references. Let's all learn together. 1 Like 1 Share |

Enemy of progress, they should allow Ambode do what is the best for the state. Materials are getting cost everyday, you don't need to compare things. If he chop the money we go still call him thief, let him do the complete the project before you talk. Eko o ni baaje. |

nedu2000: Creativity had to come to play on the Ikorodu road's case because it was done on an already existing road In Oshodi, the road has been expanded, a lot of buildings had to be brought down to make this happen. Only issue is the government has not made any serious attempt to compensate property owners yet. I know this because I was affected as well. |

baslone:if you look at the lagos/badagry exp way project one is tempted to think that this is the modus operandi,there is ample space(space for vegetation inbetween) yet there is just space for just 2 lanes.It should once again be wider. The govt is trying but maybe they should try and review their design. P.S. i am a civil engineer. |
