ONE NIGERIA INDEED

LAGOS (AFP) – The maze of shacks on stilts stretch out across the filthy water’s surface, canoes colliding as they hustle between them in a slum that serves as a warning for the world’s fastest growing continent.

Tens of thousands of people live amid fetid conditions and no public services in this water-top neighbourhood in the Nigerian economic capital of Lagos, already the largest city in Africa’s most populous nation.

“I’m just like the people. I don’t have shelter on the outside,” Friday Gezo, a 25-year-old teacher at a school started through donations, said from his wood-frame classroom when asked why he lived in the slum known as Makoko.

The United Nations on Monday symbolically marks the birth of the world’s seven billionth person, and while Asia remains by far the most populated continent, Africa is the fastest growing.

Nigeria is the continent’s largest country when it comes to population, with around 160 million people, and the UN estimates it could grow to around 400 million by 2050.

Lagos, with its ostentatious mansions, overcrowded slums, flickering electricity and maddening traffic, provides an example of what such growth can look like. Its population is estimated in the range of 15 million.

The challenges are immense, particularly regarding housing, infrastructure and a lack of jobs for an exploding population of youths, but experts say there is also great potential if managed properly.

If not, unemployed youths could turn to crime or, particularly in the case of Nigeria’s mainly Muslim north, extremist movements, observers say.

Nigeria, long held back by corruption, has so far been largely unable to leverage its status as Africa’s largest oil producer into true development.

A recent World Bank study found that as many as 50 million young people in Nigeria could be either unemployed or underemployed.

“That is a time bomb,” said John Litwack, the World Bank’s lead economist for Nigeria. “With too many energetic young people without employment opportunities, it’s very easy for them to move in the wrong direction.”

But the possible advantages can also be seen, and the resiliency of those who live in Makoko, as well as the boundless entrepreneurial energy of Nigerians in general, serve as proof.

Despite the frighteningly poor sanitation in Makoko, some residents talk with pride of how the waterfront climate strengthens them.

Many of the men who live there are fishermen, taking their canoes out into the lagoon in the shadow of the city to cast nets, then handing their catch over to their wives, who sell them.

A sawmill hums with activity, while boats ferry everything from traditional medicines to food, as pilots — sometimes children — pole them atop water as black as night. Houses are made from thatch, bamboo, scrap wood and burlap sacks.

Many of Makoko’s residents’ families originated from the neighbouring country of Benin, a former French colony. One ramshackle church has a phrase written in French on the outside: “The End Times Message of Jesus Christ.”

Makoko local chief Jeje Albert Ayede, dressed in a red, green and yellow traditional robe, said residents do not have the option of finding a home elsewhere in Lagos.

“The money they’re going to spend on the outside, they don’t have it,” he said.

Lagos environment commissioner Tunji Bello said the government wants to clear water-top slums such as Makoko.

It is willing to assist in relocation for those with a legitimate claim to businesses or property, but those who built illegally are another matter, he said.

“If you are not careful, that is an environmental disaster waiting to happen,” Bello said.

Regarding Lagos’ wider challenges, Bello said the state government is seeking to have more affordable housing built as well as to attract more industry to provide jobs.

He acknowledges that infrastructure has lagged far behind population growth, blaming much of the problem on the federal government, which Bello says has not provided Lagos with nearly enough financing.

While it may not be immediately noticeable to an outsider, Lagos has made progress in recent years, putting gang members to work through jobs programmes, improving tax collection and following through on beautification projects.

It also has grand plans to build a new enclave on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, envisioned as a modern municipality that will attract major investment.

There are huge amounts of work to do to get there, but few doubt Nigeria’s potential. It has seen significant economic growth in recent years, a number of reforms have been undertaken and oil prices — vital for revenue — have been relatively high.

“In some ways, Nigeria has been in crisis for some time, but I think the opportunities have never been greater,” said Litwack of the World Bank. “I think now is a time when Nigeria can move ahead.

will reply him tomorrow.

The Delta State Governor, Dr, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has warned the political class and ethnic nationalities in the state to desist from allowing their political ambitions cause crisis in the state.



Uduaghan, who gave the warning when the people of Anioma, the Igbo-speaking part of the state, visited him in Asaba, appealed to politicians to "thread carefully because 2015 was still a distant date."

The governor charged them not to unnecessarily promote unhealthy competition, animosity and rivalry, even as he explained that they could eventually lose if they allowed unhealthy rivalry.

He said overheating the state could distract government attention and would force it to channel its scarce resources into maintaining peace and beefing up security instead of focusing on developmental projects.

"This is 2011 and we have a long way to go. If you over stress the system, you will distract government attention and stall development," he said.

He enjoined the people of Anioma to reach a consensus and "speak with one voice’’ just as he acknowledged that having a common goal was always difficult.

He told them to promote group interest rather than individual interest, stressing that the former should subsume personal goals.

"You should promote group interest so that if the person ordained succeeds, others will tap from the success. If it is not for you, it will definitely not be for you," he said.

The governor promised to embark on road rehabilitation in the state once the rains were over and gave assurance that the state capital, Asaba, would enjoy a face-lift in infrastructural growth.

The Asagba of Asaba, Prof. Chike Edozien, in his remarks, expressed the support of Anioma people for the Uduaghan-led administration.

Edozien said the Anioma were now more focused and united to achieve their collective aspirations.

A former Deputy Governor of the state, Benjamin Elue, appealed to the governor to support them in their desire to have Anioma State.

Elue said the Anioma were still pursuing the creation of the state vigorously and pleaded for the governor’s support.

SO this corrupt cops earn N36,000 a month  and still they choose their corrupt way of life i see 



boss your boys are more corrupt than police.

The Federal Road Safety Commission has said it will stop at nothing to rid the organisation of corrupt personnel.



The Benin Zonal Commander of the comission. Mr. Yakubu Attah, said this when he met with officers and marshals of the corps in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

Attah said the corps was troubled by reported corrupt practices of some personnel in Anambra and that any officer found guilty would be dismissed.

He said it had come to the notice of the management that some officers and marshals engaged the services of herbalists to prevent the surveillance team from seeing them while monitoring.

He said the antics would not work. "Everybody is under surveillance. Some of you go to herbalists when the surveillance team is coming so that they won’t see you. A word is enough for the wise. I will not say anything again until you begin to see your sack letter."

Attah said the staff of the FRSC had no reason to compromise themselves while on duty because they were paid well.

According to him, the least paid staff of the corps earned N36, 000 a month, which was double the new national minimum wage.

On a positive note, he said the corps marshal of the organisation, Mr. Osita Chidoka, had said there would no longer be backlogs of promotions as all those that deserve promotion would be duly promoted.

He also said the grading of the holders of the Higher National Diploma in the organisation was also being adjusted to bring them to their right levels.

He appealed to organisations to assist the FRSC with tow trucks along the Asaba – Onitsha – Enugu Expressway to evacuate vehicles involved in accidents.

Dede1:
I had rather have solid tarred road with street lights from Eleme to Igwe Ocha than idiotic monorail in Igwe Ocha which Nigeria does not have technological knowhow to maintain. For example in USA, people leave and go to work everyday of the week from cities with equivalent distance from Enugu to Owerri. This is made possible by good roads, no police checkpoint, no custom checkpoint and constant visibility of highway patrol officers. In addition, there is world-class inter-state railway system. Most of city projects embarked by certain governors in Nigeria are at best white elephant.

The current noise about revenue sharing is a misguided political folly instigated by spoilers. I read an article where all the states under the financial insolvency are from northern region except Osun State from the southern region. Yet we were told the governors from northern regions are not crooks and usually have financial surplus every years.

Nigeria as a country is practical joke and must come to an end by any know means.

INDEED
