Okada ban in zamfara is not true ...

Eco2580:
Point of correction Sokoto, Kebbe and Zamfara state never ban Okada.
They are still operating 24/7

Not quite....
Okadas are banned from parts of Zamfara, Sokoto, Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, Kebbi and Niger states.

mindtricks:
Okada ban suddenly implies development and God governance?
Nope!
Typical bad Nigerian leaders ban.
Good leaders regulate.

But they are regulated, NOT banned...
Lagos has 57 LCDAs and they are only precluded from 15.

That's akin to saying that one-way roads are a 'ban' from either side...
Or that preventing drones from flying over airports is a "ban" on drones!

16 years of PDP is nothing compared to what Buhari has done to Nigerians in just 5 years

Completely agree!

Under PDP Nigeria was one of the world's fastest growing economy...
Under Buhari and APC, Nigeria has become the World Capital of Extreme Poverty!

Both APC and PDP na scam

Aufbauh:
So after the over 35 years cancellation of Lagos Metro Station no civilian administration came on board to restart it?..... Smh!

1999-2015 is enough years to construct Lagos Metro Station and build the 4th mainland bridge if not for the endemic primitive corruption of the party you support.

All i can see and say is that there's no free easy money for lazy people and that's enough frustration to rant incessantly.

Why do you hate the APC so much...
You do know that it's been APC (and its predecessors) in power in Lagos from 1999-2020?!

Hope dangote does not run them out of business because he wants a monopoly

Mira's Tomato Jos has been in the tomato paste business in Nigeria for about 13 years, well before Dangote Group, but frankly it is relatively small tomatoes (pun intended) compared to Dangote's processing plant. Erisco Tomatoes is the other relatively significant player in the sector.

While the government is embarking on fruitless oil discovery expedition in the Northeast, a Finnish woman is busy making millions from Agriculture in Jos.

You see this country ehn.. Evacuate the 200 million people here to the US and bring the whole of USA here.. In 20 years, Nigerians who were moved to the US would be battling to get visas to return to Nigeria.

Mira is not Finnish, she's American...

Nonyoz:
I can't wait for their Tomato Paste to be available on retail level. I hope it will. These guys are really doing a great job. From Nassarawa and now here. The farmers in their network must be lucky.

They should however watch out for insecurity.

Started from Plateau State, hence Tomato Jos...

Depressedkidd:
Im not going to go out of my way to fight homosexuality cos that's not my business. I'm just stating that it's retarded, but still, not my business, long as they're not coming on to me or trying to push it down my throat. If naija was in a better developed situation I wouldn't bother leaving to anywhere else. Btw homosexuality had nothing to do with development, Europe and America were already going thru development even back when they had strong laws against such things.

Strawman's Argument, because no one said it has...
Nonetheless, FREE societies often tend to be more developed because advancement often arises from disruptive thinking.

Nonetheless, the substantive point is that if most Nigerians are actually as disgusted and repulsed as they are said to be with homosexuality, how come they are LITERALLY risking life, livelihood and limb to emigrate to (and assume citizenship of) countries that not only tolerate homosexuality but actually set aside public days of PRIDE in same?! Anyway, I think Naija's anti-gay laws was a factor in the US visa ban, so all should be happy now!

NtoAkwaIbom:
why are you so dumbb... if Akpabio did all he did and he is corrupt in your eye, then what do you think Udom that has not done any single thing in his 5years in office is ?

Nigeria has the dumbest citizen in the world, little wonder or leaders take us on jolly rides.. NDA ikpa ameh Somme etti etti ke ndisimeh ikor AFO tangha do.. da ado atta atta ebod.

I ignore uncouth and childish personal insults...

By the time Buhari is done with his second term Nigerians will be begging him to run for another term!

Its not by making noise in the media about fictional projects he is actually walking the talkk*

A salute to ameachi as well, the man is doing very well. We will get there by God's grace.

Some are not happy just being the World's Capital of Extreme Poverty...
They are instead looking to become the Universe's Capital of Extreme Poverty! SMH

sport in nigeria that is under funded so how is it going to add revenue to the economy??
The only sport that received most funding is football yet nff can't pay match bonus as at when due.shift make u go sit down.
Health facilities, infrastructural project, security and education should be the main priority of a governor in under developed country like Nigeria.

An under-developed country like Nigeria would by definition have MANY "main priorities".
And JOBS should be one of the "main priorities" in an under-developed country like Nigeria with a massive unemployment problem.

To analogize your argument (paraphrasing mostly your OWN words), the health facilities that receive "most funding" are teaching hospitals and yet the authorities can't pay doctors and house officers all of their allowances. The educational institutions that receive the "most funding" are the universities, and yet the authorities can't pay timely salaries and research grants. The infrastructural projects that receive "most funding" are electricity projects, and yet the authorities can't provide neither adequate nor reliable electricity supply for the overwhelming majority of Nigerians! Therefore, proceeding along your tortured logic, those sectors should "go sit down" while we concentrate on things that pay - like the National Assembly!

With all due respect (and frankly not sure how much respect is due you), it is obtuse to make that argument that citizens should be penalized because the government or authorities have badly mismanaged a sector. The fact is that if you have a properly-run and/or managed sports sector, it has the prospect of providing THOUSANDS OF JOBS across Nigeria all along the entire value chain (construction, facilities management, suppliers, managers, security, vendors, kit manufacturers/suppliers, nutritionists, trainers, sports medicine, officials, coachies, administrators, marketers, broadcasters, transporters, logistics, sponsors, advertisers, financiers, lawyers, agents, academies, etc.). Sports can be a viable ECONOMIC SECTOR!

NtoAkwaIbom:
u guys know nothing
Udom is the most hated Governor in the history of Aks.
even PDP faithfuls in the state, lambast him on a daily.
Akpabio built roads in all the local government areas in the state.. he even delivered tractors to all local govt areas for them to use in clearing some interior areas yet to have standard roads.all these he did in his first term


his second term was for infrastructure like the airport, Tropicana, 5star, The Ibom hospital, the Ibom Stadium and even the secretariat Udom commissioned.

most people may not like that Akpabio cross carpeted, but everymornin on Planet FM, Inspiration FM, etc.. people call to pray for God to Bless Godswill Akpabio, and pray for God to punish Udom for not paying 6years pension..

in Akwa Ibom State, Gods will has earned his respect, Udom can't touch the straps of his boots

Most Nigerians thoroughly DESERVE the leaders they get...
So because Akpabio built roads and stadium, it was okay for him to be MASSIVELY CORRUPT?! Smdh

I am gonna skip this story and move on...
Because it would be distressful for any rational being to witness ZOMBIES defending the so-called "Man of God"! SMH

SonofDevil:
So that thief with green cap wanted to build 27 stadia across the 27 local government. and the project have even started

Imolites should thank supreme Court for putting an end to this madness.
You never build roads, health center ,improve study facilities Na stadium dey hungry the thief .
White elephant project aborted

Many Nigerians are still ignorant about how massive an ECONOMIC SECTOR that sports can be...smh

YorubaPrince:
It's so funny how we Africans with our savage mindset and mentality try to survive in a civilized and advanced age. In civilized societies, regional planning are usually long-term projects to avoid these sort of NONSENSE!

But again, the citizens are just as crazy if not, crazier than their gov't. Animals creating laws for their fellow animals.

Dude, you may be "savage" but abegi leave the rest of us out of it...

Meanwhile, these buildings encroach on the Right of Way, and like someone said above the laws should have been enforced long ago against the buildings/builders (if the concerned public servants were not seeking/receiving gratification), but better late than never.

Ustec:
25 years old paper work audio plan,
Master plan and financing should not be more than three years if they were actually serious about the actualization of the projects.

But financing and worked started under the Jonathan administration...

Nigeria conceived, planned and begun embarking upon Africa's biggest and most ambitious rail development and modernization project under the Obasanjo and Jonathan administrations, covering every region of this vast nation with modern standard-gauge double-track rail lines running into several hundreds of kilometers, and thus the projected lifespan of the project was/is not unrealistic.

The first phase of the Lagos to Kano line of the project, which is the Abuja to Kaduna portion, was started and financed by the Jonathan administration. What the Buhari administration has done in its 5 years thus far has been to complete the Abuja-Kaduna portion and embark upon the Lagos-Ibadan portion, which it hopes to complete this year (the Minister Amaechi has already said that April is not feasible for completion).

At the rate these projects are proceeding (even under the Buhari administration that has publicly accorded it priority), MOST of the rail development masterplan will still be UNCOMPLETED. These include the Ibadan-ilorin portion, the Ilorin-Minna portion, the Minna-Abuja portion, the Kaduna-Kano portion, and of course the Coastal Line (Lagos-Calabar, running through the Niger Delta ) as well as the single track spurs to state capitals. If a subsequent administration(s) complete these phases , wouldn't it be silly for someone to argue PMB deserves NO credit .
