The road has over the last decade become emblamatic of many things wrong with Naija. 2 failed concessions (2009, Jan 2015), a history of budgetary cuts,etc

Good news is that all of that now history, Road now been transferred to PIDF, a $650m Fund managed by @nsia_nigeria #Thread
PIDF took over three (3) critical road projects, to ensure they’re taken out of unpredictable budget cycles and to guarantee funding for them until completion: Second Niger Bridge, Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. So, funding now guaranteed.
PS. Scope of work on the Expressway has recently been expanded, which probably also means a pushback of whatever completion date previously announced. For example the Lagos-Shagamu section is getting 2 new underpasses, 3 new FlyOvers, 2 Toll Plazas, and 10 new Pedestrian Bridges.

So that’s how VP @ProfOsinbajo hit the streets after the @BuhariCentre inauguration. This is Gwarimpa Tipper Garage Market. 4+4 all the way. #NigeriaDecides2019 #PMB4Plus4
When he left the Tipper Garage Market, @ProfOsinbajo proceeded on a visit to the home of Mr Madu Inuwa Wagami. He’s from Kwajafa Town in Hawul LGA of Borno State, and has lived in Abuja for almost 20 years. His son, Lt Ibrahim Madu (not present) is a Pilot in the Nigerian Navy.
At the @BuhariCentre today, VP @ProfOsinbajo made campaign telephone calls. One was to a Nigerian resident in Gombe State. “I hope you will vote for us on February 16.” VP also informed the callee of his forthcoming trip to Gombe, and invited him to attend. #PMB4Plus4

2/ Much of this year was about prying ourselves from the fever dream of free money and non-dilutive capital that was the 2017 ICO frenzy. Even as the token bonanza continued into 2018, @Melt_Dem flagged the inevitable collision w the lack of natural demand medium.com/@Melt_Dem/drow…
3/ As the dust settled and we asked how we got hundreds of speculative assets with valuations in the tens or hundreds of millions, @nic__carter connected the dots between exchanges, coin ranking sites, and coin developers medium.com/s/the-crypto-c…

Over the last decade, Ryan Zinke has shown a pattern of pursuing business deals and political power at the same time – even when those roles sometimes conflict politi.co/2GxoCyQ
Now, Zinke is under investigation for a business deal involving the chairman of Halliburton – an energy company he regulated as Interior secretary politi.co/2GxoCyQ
But the questions about Zinke’s ethics go back as far as 1999. A Navy report from that year (he was a SEAL for 23 years) said he experienced “lapses of judgement” after he billed the military for personal travel. politi.co/2GxoCyQ

Over the last decade, Obama-influenced Echo Chamber foreign policy analysis in media became utterly unserious—these guys good, those guys bad.

Designated bad guys don’t ever have reasons for doing what they’re doing; the good guys have nothing but “legitimate grievances.” (1)
This is a natural outgrowth of the way the Left sees domestic US politics—which is, itself, the logical extension of class struggle categories of oppressor and oppressed.

In the US, it’s usually some manner of “racist” or “sexist” etc etc. (2)
If these are the categories that are actually meaningful—oppressor and oppressed—foreign policy analysis gets really, really easy. You could have a child do it or, with some effort, even a Daily Beast or BuzzFeed journalist. (3)

I have this "thing". It really bothers me when the people, who are supposed to be served by their representatives over donor money, have documents withheld for a SCOTUS appointment.

So - stay tuned for a big Kavanaugh document dump.

“Over the last decade, Department of Defense studies have found that military members, their families and veterans are four times as likely to be targeted by unscrupulous lenders. Money woes, the studies found, are a significant source of morale problems among service members.”
2. The Military Lending Act says that you can't be charged an interest rate higher than 36% on most types of consumer loans (MLA applies to active-duty servicemembers and dependents). The Trump admin is planning to suspend routine examinations of lenders for violations of MLA.
3. BTW, how did members of Congress come to the max 36% interest cap for active duty and reserve military personnel? If someone’s volunteering to sign up for service, isn’t 36% kind of an obscene way to acknowledge their service?

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"
