this is how correct system suppose to be...............

The present administration appears to be fixated with the idea of quick fixes. Doubtless, the Orosonya committee's work has plenty of merit, makes sense, that is. Typically, the President obviously cowed by the high-sounding sanctimonious prescriptions of the committee, and clearly under pressure to prove himself capable, is in a haste to fall into another trap set by his enemies, who, of course, understand his psychology: show him money that can be 'saved' and you have him. The issues are not as simplistic as the committee is making out. Orosonya is just out of job and is clearly looking for another, hence the need to impress the President. The President has been on that seat long enough to have learnt some restraint by now. Scrapping bogus bodies and merging others with overlapping mandates may sound nice and progressive, but a lot of ground work needs be done before implementation.What we need is systematically overhaul that why we have president......

osun state i just checked the site to be honest with you, is a dead site nothing at all no activities

shymmex: This government is a toothless bull dog - hated at home, and treated with disdain like a leper abroad. Nigeria is a joke!

so you no Nigeria is a joke? interesting i think you need to visit Nigeria and spend at list one year and see the condition of the place,is not as easy as driving to MacDonald for ham burger

Kobojunkie: This cost just over $1 billion, yet Nigeria has spent almost more than $2 billion restoring and purchasing old locomotives. To top it all up, State Governments are making plans to spend half a billion each on a few kms of monorail that will most definitely cost more to maintain in said states since there is barely any real transport network in existence. WOW

Am tired of Nigeria..........nothing works in that country just one or two infrastructure here and there and people will be screaming my governor is working or my party is the best

manchy7531: Thumps up to my brothers and sisters across the Niger! However, the Anioma people should wake up from their slumber and declare their Igboness to save them from the Nigeria manipulation. The new day for the Igbo will be the day that the leaders of: Ekpe, Ogba, Anioma, Ikwere and the rest of them will join hands with their brother like: Wawa, Abakaliki, Ngwa, Olu, Umunri, Nsukka, and so on, to fight and stop the on-going annihilation of our race by Nigeria due to man made disunity among us. The Igbo must join hands together, or we will all perish. It’s noteworthy that Igbo land extended all the way to Igbanke, the home of Samuel Ogbomudia; even though this assertion does not mean that Ogbomudia is Igbo or not; nevertheless, it’s out there in the public domain that Dr. Ogbomudia single handedly handed Igbanke to Edo state in other to make sure he stays in the same State with his mother who is of Benin origin.

dont you think is a bit late

Later this month, Italy will unveil what has been dubbed the most luxurious and modern high-speed train in Europe.

Described as the "Ferrari of trains", and travelling as fast as a Formula One car, the launch of the Italo will mark the end of Italy's state-run operator's monopoly on rail travel in the country.

Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu has called for the immediate decentralisation of the Nigeria Police in line with the federal system of government in the country.
Ekweremadu also urged Nigerians to spare a thought on a possible return to regionalism where the six geopolitical zones would become the federating units especially with demand for creation of new states rising to 46 and still counting.
Ekweremadu spoke at the Sixth Annual Oputa Lecture at the Osgoode Hall Law School , York University in Toronto , Canada .
A statement by his Special Adviser, (Media), Uche Anichukwu, said Ekweremadu spoke on the topic, “Nigerian Federalism: A Case for Review.”
Ekweremadu was quoted to have said that “prevalent global trend in crime-fighting and the realities of security challenges in Nigeria make the decentralisation of policing pertinent as it makes it easier to track and burst crimes, gives the police the advantage of knowing the environment- geographically, culturally, socially, politically, and even economically.”
He said the unhealthy and unviable state of the component states of the federation had made it imperative for the country to take a second look at the continual proliferation of states and the dispersal of resources.
Ekweremadu commended states that are streamlining their development policies and agenda as well as aggregate their resources and areas of comparative advantages to develop their regions.
He said: “A return to the regions in the long term seems a major plausible thing to do if we are to nurse any hopes of reversing the dwindling fortunes of our federalism by engendering viability and self-reliance of the component units, massive development, healthy competition, reduce cost of governance and enthrone acceptable level of equity.”
The Deputy Senate President identified the period between 1954 and January 1966 as the golden era of Nigerian federalism, saying that the socio-economic prosperity recorded in the First Republic were possible because the Regions were neither subservient to nor dependent on the centre.
He said: “The brand of fiscal federalism in place today looks every inch that of master and servant relationship and therefore killing industry, initiative, and creativity, while promoting indolence, bad governance, and rentierism.”
He said the resurgence of debate on Nigeria ’s fiscal federalism underlines the fact that the nation needed to “move away from the current military-imposed ‘feeding bottle’ federalism to enthrone one predicated on self-reliance, hard work, enterprise, resourcefulness, and ingenuity to catalyse development”
He faulted the power sharing formula. He added that between the Independence Constitution and the 1999 Constitution, 16 out of the 28 items on the Concurrent List, which translates to about 57 per cent, had been lost to the Exclusive List.
He listed such powers to include: the power of the original regions to control resources within their territories, have diplomatic representations in London, appoint judges without reference to a central body (the National Judicial Council), own constitutions and coat of arms, and right of the local governments to have their own police forces.
He said: “One major step, therefore to returning Nigeria ’s federalism on a strong and prosperous footing is to reengineer politically viable federating units by devolving more powers to the States.”
Ekweremadu observed that irrespective of how much constitutional reform the nation carried out, little progress would be made unless Nigerians rise quickly enough to build structures for the proper management of the nation’s diversities and to secure the optimal right to settlement, establishment, and happiness for all citizens in every part.
He said: “All constitutional provisions that tend to or are liable to manipulations to aggravate the nation’s fault lines must be revisited, while we need to replace State of Origin (indigene) in Section 147 with State of Residence .”

Yoruba no get choice

Ejiné: Retarrdo!

Let me spell it slowly so your microscopic, snail-paced brain can understand: You know that lil' senatorial zone called the Delta North? That lil' zone comprising Ndokwa, Ukwuani, Asaba etc? Well, guess what indigenes make up the place? IGBO! Say it with me now. . . IGBO!

I'm not surprised you're too much of a depraved mooron to even know or grasp the common geographic features of the country you dwell in.
From your childish rancid tirades, it's easy to see you're nothing more than a bitter, miserable, disgruntled illiterate with stinkng pits, picked up and dusted from the revolting slums of Alimosho, to come serve as a houseboy in Port Harcourt, which explains why First Class hobos like you are so incredibly stupid to come on the internet and cry about WELL-TO-DO South South people holding their meetings in Lagos - a venue THEY paid for with their own money!
Tell me, are you not a loser? You spend the few pennies and chips you make from whoring your gayy asss (as a houseboy) on shouting on the internet like a deserted, eternally-scarred DUNCE with cretinism, and you expect us to take you seriously? Well, good one. Clap for yourself, FOOL!

internet na leveler, man can chat with a common frustrated panel beater cooling off with a bottle of fanta under MTN umbrella as long as he can get access to internet
