Enugu is the silent capital of the east

but the politician there still collect salaries?

Its an embarrassment that Anambra, Abia are part of the 28 failed states. With all the massive industries in Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Ihiala, Ekwulobia etc. they can't generate money from it..

Many clueless government in the South East

Dino should sell his fleet of cars and add the money to Kogi budget, that would help at least to pay workers salary for some months.

Find it hard to believe some people still think this country is gonna get better.. You're definitely in for a really really long ride if you're one of em .

But less face reality once oil loses value nigeria is gone

not only sell rice, sell weed, grow loud

This is very sad. Our governors lacks vision. You don't need to have oil or several resources to generate money as a state. It only requires vision and execution.

Just pick one resource, focus on it and develop it to the state where you can export. Hospitality, cassava, agricultural products, flowers, any product can earn you foreign exchange if you develop it.

Malaysia was able to turn around its country by developing its oil palm.

As indicated by the report, no one but *Yobe* can subsidize its 2019 spending plan from the distributions it got from the alliance accounts portions board of trustees (FAAC).

Shame!!! Shame!!! Shame!!! . Dey only know, how to share money. No economic policies, no reforms. Oooh God. This country makes me sick.

Enugu state is in hand of God

Am surprised to see Anambra that was once an example in fiscal discipline. Obiano has entered the next level before his exit, I hope he wouldn't throw my state into serious debt before he leaves. This is why I'll continue to respect Peter Obi.

Obiano, you met surplus from Obi, don't hand over debt profile.

What is oil price drop below $40 ?

God help our leaders to diversify our economy bf its too late.
