Thinking Men As Governors In Times Of Dwindling Revenue??? by KnowAll(m): 1:25pm On Nov 09, 2014
It is high time Nigerian electorates elect thinking men & women in time of dwindling revenue from d centre. Men & women who would invest 1 Naira to make 100 Naira. Men & women that would think out of d box. Men & Women who would take unconventional but legal ways of increasing d revenue in-flow to d states.

Nigerians by now should be tired of these men & women parading themselves as Governors commissioning one phantom project in other to enrich themselves.

Some ideas that came to my mind includes d following amongst others:

1. Invest in buying prime lands in choice areas in Lagos and Abuja build beautiful apartments and rent them out to expertriates or high net Nigerians.

2. Invest in propertise in choice areas in London, Paris, New York, if they can buy outright d better. The income from d rents would be in £$ € this revenue stream would go a long way not only increasing d foreign exchange capability of d nation but that of d state e.g Saudi Arabia, Qatar and some Arabian countries are well known good investors in London's prime estates. So it is not ßomething new.

3. Mechanised industrial farming with d sole aim of marketing produce both in Nigeria, Africa and d world at large this would also go a long way of enhancing d foreign exchange capabilties of d state. Afterall Cocoa was used to build Cocoa house in Ibadan, Western Nigeria Television Authority. That same revenue stream was also used to build University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University ile-ife.

4. Building of toll roads amongst other high yielding infrastruture facilities like d once touted Lagos Metro project or under-ground train station would be a welcome idea.

5. Building houses, low, medium and high income bracket houses and sell to d public in form of a mortgage.

6. More suggestions needed!

Ekiti former Governor Fayemi said a pieace of land bought and built on by Adebayo in 1999 that cost d N700 millin then is now worth N4.5 BILLION Today. THat was a piece of good investment by an insightful man. I believe many of such examples abounds d polity.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fayose is not a thinking man. I pray he would be d last delusional Governor ever elected in Nigeria. What d faccccckkkkk is stomach infrastruture. He as inherited a proper Governor'S Residence, he does not have to build another one. Instead of him to provide insightful projects he his busy witch hunting his predecessor. Ekiti is on a long thing for d next 4 years.
