Mcreloaded: The images/information from those satellites are used to predict rainfall/flooding patterns (albeit the warnings are hardly heeded on the ground by the states forewarned), and even high resolution soil type mapping to determine the suitability of crops/livestock for particular regions (and even the suitability of fertilizer applied). It can also be used to track population settlement, resettlement and/or growth patterns, and thus can be very useful for planning purposes (such as decisions regarding the location/prioritization of roads and other infrastructure). Meanwhile, the telecommunications satellite not only saves Nigeria and Nigerian companies and organizations the millions of dollars expended on using foreign satellites, but also serves a wide range of ancillary functions such as providing GPS services to Nigerian airlines and such other entities. Finally, the knowledge acquired by Nigerian engineers and scientists in these ventures can be applied in other areas of national life. 2 Likes |

EVILFOREST: The government can only build it, but it will require people (particularly the academic community) to breathe life into it. We cannot hold government solely accountable for all of our failings as a nation. 1 Like |

caprini1: In a vast country as Nigeria with many different terrain and soil types, you cannot build one-type-fits-all roads... High resolution soil mapping provided through satellite technology enables you to reach more efficient decisions on these matters. 1 Like |

Kenmatt: Nigeria has gone from 3 to 4 regions, to 12, 19, 21 and 36 states.. Yet, the only thing "touching the grassroots" has been increased POVERTY! These states that cannot pay common basic salaries (even N30K minimum wage, that is less than a day's food and drinks bill at Govt House, is too much for them to handle), are owing teachers and pensioners forever, and most of which only survive by rushing to Abuja every month to share money mostly derived from the exploitation and despoiling of Niger Delta (and VAT), while the Governors and their so-called First Ladies fly around in first-class or private jets, drive bullet-proof cars (some costing more than the entire monthly wage bill of the teachers in their states), and basically have an unlimited expense account (as well as the slush fund called the Security Vote). Bros, the creation of more states does absolutely NOTHING of significant (if any) benefit to the ordinary masses, but merely benefit the elite and politically-connected rent-seekers. It creates more governors, commissioners, chief judges, special advisers, special assistants, senators, representatives, assembly members, ministers, board members and all other manner of political appointees. By the time money is expended on Government House, Abuja Liaison Office/Governor's Lodge, official cars, commissioners' housing and other official quarters, new government secretariat, government cars' fuel budget, estacode, car and transport allowances, etc., there's NO money for actual development. . 1 Like |

9jaRealist: I have to summarize all you have written in few sentences. Don't you know that your people have the absolute power to recall politicians who are not performing? The beautiful thing about the two phases in our democratical setting is that any one who did not work up to expection will be given a red card not to get close to the government house for the second term. Many a time, your people prefer to sell their "birth right" for a peanut. That some governors and some other politicians are not performing does not mean that all is not performing. A state like Bayelsa, inspite of all the resources and mega chunk they get from the centre, yet, development is absimally low, Enugu state may not be getting much from the central government but you can attest to the fact that they are not only growing but developing. |
Re: FG Commissions Centre For Basic Space Science Nsukka To Boast Space Researc. Pix by 9jaRealist: 5:40pm On May 08, 2019 |
Kenmatt: What are you going on about? Was Gov Nnamani "recalled" when he was robbing the same Enugu State blind? The saying that a people often deserve the leadership that they get is hardly ever more fitting than for Nigeria and Nigerians. Why should Bayelsa be waiting to "get" anything from the so-called centre from resources taken from it's own backyard (when it really should be the other way around)? And why should Enugu be even getting anything at all from the so-called central government, when likely the bulk of that "get" is from destroying the environment and local economy (primarily based on agriculture, including fisheries and farming) of Bayelsans? Anyway, Nigeria will remain a Third World Toilet and Nigerians will continue to suffer the Dark Ages leadership that they truly deserve so long as the sort of "your people, our people" primordial mentality of folks like you persist. Here I was proffering economic and policy arguments against the creation of more economically non-viable and effectively-bankrupt "states" in Nigeria that merely serve as clearing houses to share money (and whose weakness/non-viability ironically serve to strengthen the so-called centre), only to be met with crude ethnicity drivel. |

9jaRealist:"Why would Bayelsa be getting something from the resources getting from their back yard" is not a point to put forward. It is as if asking why would Bayelsa state has a governor and deputy governor instead of a King or a Queen. |
