In your best opinion, which state Governor deserves the Award for Best Performing Governor overall in 2013?

The Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola aka AregbeRascal..

All South-West Governors

BRF

For me
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, his drive on education shows thoughtfulness.
Particularly, sending Kano people (including non-indigenes) overseas for study in Science and Technology.
At the cost of Billions of naira per annum considering the number of persons involved.

India and China did such at a point in their history. Now it is paying
Let's not mention Japan which had its people trained in Germany in the early 1900s even uptill 1940s. How can Nigeria Catch-up when most of our Leaders are yet to start taking education seriously?

T. A. Orji

For doing enough without borrowing a dime.

Ogun state Amosun. Thunder fire anyone that said orji these people can be very naive and gullible

Rochas Okorocha

One Governor in the South East, told the world that Education was for the rich while the people were protesting the over 400% increase in the State's Univ. school fees
And SilverBird is nominating him as the best thing to happen in governance. Thieves

Can you compare community healthcare system in Abia State to that of any State in Nigeria?

The State with the lowest unemployment rate in Nigeria where its remotest parts have something to export (goods and services) to either Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, Benin Republic or Congo DR.

What do you know about Abia State?

Tell me about Aba City

guy i thought you were actually being sarcastic when you mentioned orji....we know the potentials of abia economic activity there but you cannot be serious about t a orji's govt.

Delta state governor is d worse governor 4rm 2007- tildate

Give it to him (T. A. Orji), if Chibuike Amaechi couldn't provide portable water to Rivers State people after receiving N253 Billion in ten months and he's looking for $200Million loan from ADB.

guy that is rivers state problem...okay has orji provided water to any part of abia all this while?....i know you from aba axis of the state am i sureyou know the feelings of people living around that axis of the state...please do not feign ignorance on this...even in umuahia and abia central axis he is not liked.

SW governors=70% propaganda 30% work
SE governors= Little propaganda, little work
SS governors = Plenty money, plenty propaganda, little work
Middle belt governors = No propaganda, no work
Northern governors = Blind looting, plenty propaganda, No work
In summary no governor in this country deserves any kind of award

We are not talking about solving all problems. We are talking about financial prudence and available resources.

Is there any place in Abia State you will walk say 100 meters without running, clean and hygienic water from borehole?

Many people have there homes, kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and fields directly connected to portable water though borne out of competition and ingenuity. Water is water anyhow.

Almost every family and compound have borehole while Abia State Government makes money from them by taxing those in the town N1000 per month. Enough for IGR

Funny

@asha8
I maintain my stand, that man doesn't deserve that nomination.
Of late, he started working on some projects but that cannot compensate for over 6 years of doing nothing. He needs to apologize to Anambrarian, 20 paged letter It is season of letters

Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso

** Construction of three new flyovers, and the longest flyover in west Africa.

*** Construction of two Hydro electricity project at Challawa dam

** Kano state government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, with a Chinese firm, CCECC, for the construction of a modern intra city railway system in Kano city.

**1,000 post-secondary school leavers with nine credits are sponsored for their first degree in various specialized courses and first-class graduates for their master’s degree programme. Another 500 sent to Igbenidion university for degree programme in Medicine, nursery, pharmacy etc This is unprecedented in the history of Kano.

There is a centre where he has recruited people to teach basic education to housewives and traders, so that everyone can at least have basic education and be able to read and write.

Peter what? fool!

You guys are just calling names.. But I feel there should be some criteria to be crosschecked. For instance, budget performance, Internally Generated Revenue, state devt, human development indices, economic ventures they took part in, etc....
So if calling just names is wat u want to use, then am afraid you won't move past the political propaganda, tribal sentiments, and regional bias that we Nigerians, and invariably Nairalanders, end up having in discussions like this...

Pictures or it didn't happen

As far as i have not been given employment.....after i read my brain out...till now...to hell with all of them! i need federal work.....or nothing

Make sense

governor Peter Obi for transforming Anambra state

Cuche: For me
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, his drive on education shows thoughtfulness.
Particularly, sending Kano people (including non-indigenes) overseas for study in Science and Technology.
At the cost of Billions of naira per annum considering the number of persons involved.

India and China did such at a point in their history. Now it is paying

stop being so gullible.

ticket to Canada is 2000 USD
if he sends 200 children to canada, that's 400,000 USD.
with 400,000 he could have built whatever it is in canada that those kids are going to see right there an Kano, and train up to 2000 students a year with a 'canadian' education in Kano year after year while playing canadian teachers if he wanted to to stay there and teach

im not counting what they will pay for living for these students in canada (over 38,000 USD a year which is average in canada x 200 students)


African leaders like to throw this garbage at us and confuse us into thinking they know what they're doing with these unsustainable gimmicks

free laptops
painted schools
tickets and board in foreign countries

this is not education, these are not ideas or structural changes, these are not policies and more importantly they're not sustainable. They're gimmicks meant to deceive the people. Those kids you're sending to Canada will go to Canada and met hundreds of people from Kano that got the same education there but won't bother coming back because there's no work in their state and their skills won't be appreciated in Nigeria, and Kano's barbaric culture. Was it not a week ago that Okonjo Iweala was shouted at by an illiterate because she was sick when trying to propose a budget?

what about the women that go and get this free education? will they not be rendered are useless baby machines by their husbands in a sharia state? Stop these gimmicks. I even think it's trash when Rochas did his own free education gimmick in Imo state. The cost of school isn't a problem for anyone it's the quality.

Though i'm not going to nominate him for anything because i haven't seen every state to judge, the abuse Orji get's on this website is not based on reality. Every community has multiple boreholes and exports finished products. He has set up fairs for people to come and see and buy abian products and have focused on selling the Made in Aba brand as a basis for industrialization. He has equip the school with libraries which to me is far more important than flying them over seas because from a book you can learn and see the world and have access to all the knowledge that's where ever you're flying. Umuahia is now clean and organized and Abia along with Rivers will be the first two states with 24hr power. The only thing holding him back is he sucks are using propaganda and is an outdated man, but Abia is really on the move, there's no state that's strong than abia at all fronts including Lagos because Abia is superior in education common standard of living and healthcare.
