Kemi Adeosun makes non-oil revenue top priority.

I don't know how she is going to achieve that because she needs the collaboration of other ministries like agriculture.

I agree with the regional party thing,thats what catalonia did earlier this year,they voted a regional party into the parliament,with the sole purpose of pushing for seccession.Western Nigeria can do the same,and our purpose should be Regionalism.

Catalonia is going no where; you can vote a regional party into power but it will never have the votes at the center to get secession. Also the other rich regions in Spain don't have the appetite for breaking the country up. The EU has also warned Catalonia that it will not have membership.

So an Odua only party getting to the center can't outvote the other regions.

I actually thought she just turned the noun "coconut" (a derogatory word for a black person that acts white) into an adjective. grin So, Ilekeh, you called me a "blockhead", no? - Diarisgod!!! grin

I'm like that and I'm sure the majority of folks on this forum don't like me. I just catch fun on here how I can. It's basically like in the real world as well. Though I'm more reserved, most folks that don't know me always think I'm arrogant/snobbish and they believe I think I'm better than everyone cos you'll never catching me smiling or watching people. And I seldom talk as well. However, once they get to know me - they know I'm a different animal, the type of guy you just can't hate.

My life's just simple and straight-forward...I don't take life seriously and I don't care about anything. I'm just like Mark Twain with a remix. The ideal life to me is about: good friends, good books, hustling,beautiful women, and a sleepy conscience. grin

Nothing do you my Duke! We all cannot br the same.or have same energy or outlook. No one can deny your brilliance and passion for your beliefs. You are a total package, simple!

What people need to understand is you grew up in an environment where such free display of personality is the expected. Children brought up in Nigeria are groomed to have a consciousness of self and to censor emotional displays publicly. Parents don't always succeed in that mission and out of four children there will be the one exception to the rule. Similarly for children brought up abroad where liberty of expression and display of ego is the norm, there will be exceptiins and we get Tokunbos that are shy and withdrawn.

Guys leave Duke to do his thing....

I am not in support of aligning with a new party, the first response when something isn't working as it is supposed to be is,retooling & fixing it & not DiSCARDING it to move on to the next, how many are we going to sample ??

Even if some people manage to come together as osomalo wishes, who will front it ?, what will be the objective? Will it meet the aspirations of our people?

What sort of ideology will it posture in this strangulating money backed political landscape that pervades the present day Nigeria.

Until we are on our own like ilekehd is alluding to, it should be a plan kept on ice..





As for our ministerial appointees, Baba Osoba made a reference that resonated with me, it was same I was discussing wit my mama..

If Fashola can patch up (fixing is not possible for now) the trouble spots on major highways in just Sounthern Nigeria before 20th of Dec & people don't spend hours in traffic or even sleep on the roads, he has done 25% of the Job..

We Nigerians don't ask for much , just things to make life easier...



Wish baba Osoba didn't involve himself with that SDP ish, He lost it ALL & some more!!! sad

Now we're talking. Which non-oil sectors?

If other ministries don't collaborate,s he should focus on SW agencies who are focused on non-oil resources. I just don't understand Nigeria, why won't other ministries want to increase non-oil revenues?

[size=18pt]Allocation of key ministerial portfolios to Yoruba extraction, a big challenge — Osoba[/size]

Aare, I'll personally like for us to discuss this. I know Gbawe counts this portfolios a bless, but ....... someone else claimed that it's a smart move on Buhari's part to make the South work [and take any potential blame].


@Shymmex, Katsumoto, modath, TerraCotta, StuntingBlack, oyb, etc


What is your take on this little exposure?
I do not believe there is an ulterior motive on Buhari's part.

He assigned the biggest ministeries/jobs to Fashola who is widely acknowledged as the best administrator in the country. It is for the likes of Fashola to seize the opportunity. If Fashola can deliver on Power and works throughout the nation, I don't see why he won't be the best option in 2019.

My prayer is that Fashola OVER-DELIVERS. And with the ish coming from Ambode, Fashola should have that motivation to deliver.

If Fashola delivers, both Fashola and Buhari get the plaudits and similarly if Fashola messes up both Fashola and Buhari will get the abuse.

I guess you dont understand what the catalans plan to do,they'll simply keep protesting on the floor of the parliament,Little by little pressure would be mounted on the govt to prove that it is actually running a democracy,A referendum would eventually be passed,besides the Basque region also support catalonia (They also attempted to secced),About EU,they'll surely recognize catalonia,it might just take time.

Thank you!!!

if the the sole purpose of Oduah party is to get regionalism, they won't have the power to outvote other regions. Then the SW gets sidelined again.

Nigeria is not Lagos. We're talking about multiple ministries in an underdeveloped country.

Mayor

This is a great idea; why did you think it would be unpopular. This idea shouldn't apply to Osun alone; all SW states can adopt this idea. One of the reasons why communities stay poor is because governments don't spend the proceeds of loans on indigenes preferring to award contracts to external 3rd parties who will come and execute projects and then leave with funds. But current politicians will not adopt this because they wont be able to inflate contracts exorbitantly.

And, have you seen my big head too?

I'm missing Eggheader and his Oodua Insurgency Crew, they called themselves Oodua Insurgents/Oodua Armed Forces. GeneralScatter/Scatterboss was their Chief of Defence Staff lols. The dudes went to develop a software to spy on igbo e-warriors. Last year was interesting, it was full of laughter from jan to dec.

I will go to DAWN office when I go to Ile-Ife late this month or next month.


Long time bro, Thank God for this thread, will have to go start from Page 1, its nice seeing our old vets here discussing on the progress of our land. God bless Yorubaland.
