Re: Ambode moves to renovate National Stadium Lagos
States like Enugu took over Nnamdi Azikwe, Kaduna took over Ahmadu Bello, therefore is making a case for Agbole in Surulere.

In a way, I think you are right, but like you said, let's wait and see what the price of the renovation will be, before we assume it is "choppies time."pajimoh wrote:Chopping time. Another renovation exercise only to be left to rot again. I'd like to see how much to renovate a relic and compare to the cost of new stadiums all over the place?

People don't understand that GOVT are not supposed to do all these but smart citizens...All we do is sit down and expect Govt to do it all
The Nigerian populace isnt doing its part...we are asleep!!!
A more practical/workable proposal...
Until you actually try to execute it in Nigeria - witness the National Theatre.
I have no doubt that my proposal isnt perfect and it will like ly have its problems. Besides, Nigeria is unique. AS someone put it one time, we can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Re: Ambode moves to renovate National Stadium Lagos
Using an individual's greed in trying to overprice a drug to castigate a whole system is more than a bit of overreach wouldn't you agree? I could mention 10,000 medicines that aren't overpriced. Public funding and research? Gotti, with due respect your knowledge about medical reserch and its funding to the end product @ best is incomplete. For the point, you're trying to make, there's no doubt that innovation, productivity are best outside of state control. The wealth that the Govt spends is from taxes from productive entrepreneurs....... I know what Socialized healthcare is Gotti. I hope we won't try to bring back a debate about an ideology destined to end in misery, failure and strife......Soup wey sweet, na money kill am....Anything worth something that you own has a price.

Why do you think the many drugs cost significantly much more in the US than the same drugs just across the border in Canada? You think they get “worse” or “better” once they cross the border either way? And yes, I know about healthcare funding in the US, asca large part of the more than 25 years that I spent on Wall Street involved financing pharmaceutical corporates, with Schering-Plough being one of my biggest clients from 2004-2010, and Pfizer being one of my longest relationships in any industry. So trust me when I ask you not to insult our collective intelligence and blow smoke up our backsides. More money is collectively spent on sales, advertisement, sponsorships, entertaining doctors and sundry procurers, paying lobbyists and politicians, buying corporate jets and paying huge bonuses, etc, than on privately-funded R&D for most drugs and devices. That’s substantively why drugs and healthcare costs (add medical insurance costs) are so much more higher in the US than in other advanced economies and not because it is so much more “better”!

My apologies for the diversion, but some have apparently been swallowing hook line and sinker the politically hallucinogenic drugs served up by K Street lobbyists. There’s a reason that Congress employs a “socialized” single-payer health insurance system that keeps its own healthcare costs down - and it ain’t because healthcare for the rest of us are “better” than theirs.
Now (hopefully), back to football-related discourse.

Re: Ambode moves to renovate National Stadium Lagos
Has LASG refurbished Onikan Stadium that they now want to graduate to the National Stadium? I guess when you look at land values, it might make economic sense to take over the National Stadium and sell off Onikan to the 'connected'.
To stop trying is to start dying

Gotti, whatever you see on CNN and other similar outlets arent true. There's no other country that can offer you what US syatem will give you @ the snap of a finger.....SPECIALIST in every field!! None! What you will get from the smallest US city snapping your finger, you'll have to wait 3-6 months in all those countries you mentioned........ The Illegals and the uninsured get EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING...Its not true....we even send them home with breathing machines...Its so untrue.....Anyways, walk into any hospital and find out the info i just told you...
