Nashville: Insincere 9gerian. Don't you even observe Sallah break? Your oga cannot even give you one day off so that you can enjoy with your family rather than creating meaningless threads on Nairaland.

You claim he has created all these Universities but are there lecturers there teaching there or the lecturers are on strike. Because if GEJ builds a building and calls it a University but no one is being taught, I do not understand how you can call that an achievement.

You talk of construction of airports yet we keep recording plane crashes and near misses. Two more (IRS and Kabo) near mishaps have happened since the Associated Aviation crash. Please, what is the use of airports when the planes landing there are not safe. Airline industry is about safety first rather than constructing useless airports.

You claim he has constructed so many imaginary roads in the north. My question to you is how many cars go on those roads. What is the GDP per capita of the people in these areas. How many ordinary northerners can afford to buy a decent car. I guess the roads are created for the elite like himself when he is passing through. The average northerner does not even have a car.

Bros, if I were you, I will collect overtime allowance from Reno Omokri o, because working on Sallah is an infringement of your rights.

Sincere 9gerian:
You chose to see the PROBLEMS and you'll continue to see PROBLEMS. I chose to see PROGRESS.

Anyway, I wish you luck in your chosen way of life.

Sincere 9gerian: I expected northerners to confirm or challenge the list but so far, no show. It is like northerners are scarce on NL.

Kanwulia: Like Northerners like to make noise like Southerners?
Thank our lucky stars. . . we have better breed of ethnic Nigerians than YORUBA AND IGBO Nigerian bigots on and off NL!

Tufiaaaaaaaaaaaakwa!!!!

lakhadimar: Here in kogi state north central Nigeria there is no visible presence of the federal government. For fourteen years the criminal government of pdp has milked kogi state dry we are tired of these pdp b*stards enough is enough it is high time we kick out these pdp crooks from kogi state

talktimi: in other words, according to you Gej is not working or you refuse to believe his administration will so much ? Why should creation of new universities be a problem to you ? The indigent beneficiaries have not complained neither have they rejected them. Recruiting of lecturers is not you business and so should not concern you at all. The N.U.C will handle those issues. Your argument about the airports is laughable but also pitiable, what is the ratio of successful flights to crashed ones ? Dont be such a sad pessimist. According to you, the fg shouldnt have constructed any single road in the north because northerners are too poor to buy cars. Youre very wicked o, maybe you think its only you and your clan members that can drive cars or deserve good roads. Why are you so selfish ? If you doubt the presence of these projects, quietly travel up north and verify things yourself & if you're sad about it, let the owners enjoy their property by hiding your face.

Joshthefirst: don't be tribalistic.

*in raadio nigeria voice*

"ONE NAIJERIA, NA IM BE THE ANSA"!!!!!

Sincere 9gerian: I expected northerners to confirm or challenge the list but so far, no show. It is like northerners are scarce on NL.

stebell:
@ OP, not that they are scarce jus dat dey are observing de sallah. but dont be surprised to see some APC e-warriors coming here to tell yu dat the above yu listed aint visible any where in de North.

there's another thread i came across 2day, and i hv been observing the poster, he always post stories of APC against PEJ or GEJ. i think he's among those who like negative news and nothing more. he bears de moniker Awodan or something of sort.

in any case, i wish all "HATERS" Goodluck till 2019

stebell: Unam shut up there. wat is Kogi state contribution to de federal govt finance base.

dont always see wat de govt is doing, remain blind yu hear

gramci: Where are the evil men of nairaland?

lakhadimar: Here in kogi state north central Nigeria there is no visible presence of the federal government. For fourteen years the criminal government of pdp has milked kogi state dry we are tired of these pdp b*stards enough is enough it is high time we kick out these pdp crooks from kogi state

lakhadimar: Haaaaaaaaa stop lieing, there is no work ongoing on the benin lokoja road that road has been abandoned. @op fear God and stop lieing

atlwireles:

Ya right, Jonah was in your state 2 weeks ago to commission a power plant. Also the Ajaokuta steel plant is currently under repairs. The Benin lokoja road has been abandon by whom Stick to things you have proof and knowledge about.

Sincere 9gerian:
It seems the guy is waiting for the president to come and SHARE money in Kogi State.

themaskedman: @op bro you forgot to add the following:
1. The ongoing reconstruction of the Oturkpo-Otukpa-Obollo Afor rd in Benue State.

2. The ongoing reconstruction of the Lau-Kona-Jalingo rd in Taraba State.

3. The provision of portable drinking water at the Nasarawa State University Keffi.

The construction of Calabar-Ikom-Katsina Ala rd in Benue State.

But ofcourse I don‘t expect the APC e-touts on nairaland to accept these cos they will rather accept that Atiku is a Xtian than to believe that Jonathan is working.

lakhadimar: Bros that benin lokoja road has been abandoned, as at present there is nothing happening there. Governor idris wada and the past pdp administrations have turned kogi state to a desolate land. Come 2015 we will chase the pdp miscreants out of kogi we have suffered enough. We have had enough of ahmadu alli and his pdp rogues

mkmyers45: The Yola-Numan Road is a Lie...that road has been good since 2008/09...The Numan-Billiri Section has been and its still a disaster.Also there is NO noticeable infrastructual remodelling at the yola airport.
