We won't die without football. Times are hard

So why should the government engage them to represent the country in football?

bart10:
Fashola thinks highly of himself but in truth he's an average guy. It's only a country like Nigerian that will celebrate his mediocre performance and elevate him to the status where he can start to insult God and prayers! These guys are doomed.

I don't think he has a plan on how to take us out of darkness, fix bad federal road or provide affordable housing for teeming poor Nigerians and he said we should not pray for it.

oluwainfin:

The judiciary that failed to do the needful are now being hunted.

“While we condemn Jonathan’s cheeky defence of Dasuki, even in the face of monumental damning evidences, we want to state that the anti corruption war of President Muhammadu Buhari is incomplete until Jonathan is prosecuted for he continually proves, by such defence of his corrupt subordinates, that he knew everything that transpired in his corruption-ridden regime.”

Op did you forget our own Olusegun Obasanjo

I support the fight against corruption but not selective. It should be holistic.

AKMoney1:
Why are guys attacking themselves on this thread na?

The main function of these rail lines is to get cargos across to other parts of the country with no seaports with ease and you are here discussing which states produces more agricultural products. Tribalism has eaten deeply into ours souls in this country, make God help us.

But why Nigeria depend on only Lagos seaport? I can imagine the cost and stress of transporting those goods through Lagos.
If a deep commercial seaport is developed in either Calabar, Uyo, port Harcourt, Yenagoa or Warri wouldn't that have been better and cheaper?
Tribalism will ruin this country if we don't let every part feel among the federation.

My cousin who is currently serving in Port Harcourt (PHALGA) Rivers state sent this to me as their sent fort party for Batch B 2016 of about 70 corpers (PET).

The amount is huge for the celebration and the cost of items were hiked.

Please NYSC management should look into it. They should learn to manage and cut costs. This will help them in future.

Below is the screen of the items intended to spend N176,000 on.

I was talking about states not Local government areas..

Sorry, is Osun State a local government.

Okijajuju1:
Lagos State Governors from Tinubu to Ambode should be sent as Mercenary Governors to useless States like Ekiti, underachieving states like Rivers State and the likes..



Till tomorrow in Rivers State buying community Land is at your ow risk.

You didn't mention Osun State

Then it's up to southerners to draft a plan dat will counter all contingencies. I jst hope wen such a southern leader gets thr, he behaves 'southernly'. It's time for a sounther-o-cracy

That is if they are frustrated to seed power to the south.
Really even though I'm from the southwest, I still blame our Tinubu for selling Buhari to yourubas. Yes we know Tinubu wanted the Federal recognition/power and the means to get it was to liaise with Buhari and majority of his yourba supporters. Even now, Tinubu is regretting it cos he is not benefiting from what he bargained.
Buhari is an extremist and that was why he has continually loosing elections...save for Tinubu.
Now we are all regretting it even our Osibanjo is no where to be found in the government.

Lesson: Tinubu selfish interest led to Buhari's victory...we should not allow our selfish interest to override the interest of vast majority.

truthspeaks:
this is a great lesson for southerners. Wen u get thr, all appointments shld be frm the south. And to northerners, don't cry to heavens wen it's ur turn to be side-lined cos no northerner is talkin despite the obvious. Buhari is not worth bn a leader as he has proven himself to be a father of the north/fulanis. If I were southerners in ApC, i'd leave d party for the northerners. Cos truly, ApC is an islamic/party of the north. Imagine wit all the appointments/projects Jonathan gave to this backward region n all they could do is to fill up current appointments with their ppl. I'd rather vote for the worst southern leader than give my vote to the best of best northern candidate

I don't think the north will zone/support southern presidency again. They will rather rig the subsequent elections and use the judiciary to shut southerners up.

freeze001:
It does appear that it will be cheaper to hire more SANS to bury the case because the alternative, the TRUTH, will be unpalatable. Jail term, removal from office, political loss and disgrace...nah! Better to hire as many lawyers, intimidation tactics and whatnot than go through such monumental disgrace.

Lol...you got the 'opposite' right.

Say something reasonable or shut up.

Can't imagine exchanging words with him. I only asked a simple question that a secondary school student can answer.

http://thenationonlineng.net/presidency-threatens-sue-lawyer-buharis-certificate/

With the threats of the presidency by Garba Shehu. I think PMB will be removed through the courts if the judge is fearless and upholds truth. I wish the rule of law will reign supreme.

There is no point arguing further. We don't need the case the be judged on the newsprint before we know the truth.

The presidency should request for Buhari's statement from Cambridge and all these doubts will end.
An average Nigerian on the street believes Buhari has got no certificate not unless its being posted on the pages of newspapers.
Just provide it ok.
Its cheaper to provide it than hiring those sans.

mrvitalis:
This is the type of gifts the church should reject

He was a public servant and his salary and gratuities can't build something like this.. ... This is bad...
We should never celebrate things like this.. . In fact the EFCC needs to invite him to explain the source of the money

And this is the young generation of PDP? ??

Nigeria my country

Please are you saying Chidoka lived on salary without any other legal venture(s) that earns money?

Allen97:
abeg its nobody's property... its a natural resources... dere father didnt put it der...

If its nobody's property that means all minerals and natural resources of the world belongs to nobody...so why are some countries within thee boundaries claim particular resources.
I think it's important for we in the SW to show love to this people we should not be pained that those minerals are deposited in their domain. We have our own too. Once upon a time it was coal from the Enugu hills and I can bet you now that now that no one will give much attention when people sitting on that coal makes demand.
It belong to.them. every land have what is peculiar to it. God created wealth evenly. Other regions and states should look inward.

popsonbj:
See as Tinubu be like village Teacher.
Who this eh cap epp

Can't stop laughing out loud. Never noticed it until you said it.

MadCow1:
Nice Idea..

However, we are moving away from that place where the Government builds and operates businesses. History has shown us that it does not work. NNPC, Ajaokuta, NEPA, NITEL, e.t.c are all glaring examples of our Governments failure in this regard.

With an extra 400 Billion Niara running circles in our economy, we will need local businesses that will have to provide 400 billion Naira's worth of services so inadvertently, these industries will come. Imagine the One-Egg-Per-Child Program alone takes 100 Billion out of that 400 Billion Naira, that means we will need to have local farms producing 100 Billion naira worth of eggs per month. That means more Chickens.. Probably more than our local demand needs, therefore we will start exporting.

I am not an economist, but I know that Economics is not a straight science. I have a gut feeling that if this is genuinely implemented and monitored, it could be very good for us in the long run.

Neither are my an economist too.

I agree it will increase agro production and patronage. There is no doubt about that. And which will I Increase productivity in that sector. But why will all Nigerian primary school pupil not covered except those in public schools? They are Nigerians you know.
The parents should be empowered instead of giving their children meals.

Will.government all pay for their shelter and clothing?

mapet:
Bros,

It's been proven over time that government overt involvement in business has been a near, if not a, disaster. 400 production companies will run aground pretty fast. MKO once said "government should have no business in business".

Truth is primary school student are pretty hungry. You need to leave your comfort zone and go streetward to see that in many families they can hardly boast of 3meals a day.

I definitely agree to your opinion. I don't mean government running it but giving out the loans the groups of entrepreneurs.

Primary school education in Nigeria. If parents can not feed their children at age of 6-12, government should empower the adults and not feeding the children. Because some illiterate parents will have more children when they realise that government will 'subsidize'.

I just talked to an NGO on this issue now and I was made to understand that even those in private primary schools too find it difficult to feed 3 meals per day. But they have to keep struggling to pay their school fees for better education than what is obtained in public schools. If it has to be so, then they should feed all primary school pupils in Nigeria irespective of where the child attends school. My opinion.

I louded the government decision in removing subsidy but it seems the subsidy removal will be channelled to welfare and not for developmental projects as it was promised.

MadCow1:
That is 400 Billion Naira that will be circulating within the Economy..

Not a kobo of that 400 Million is leaving the Economy.. How can that be bad?

Yeah I support that the money is within the economy and If an 'average Nigerian' will gain contract for supplies and the rest. Its a good idea.

To me I'm looking at government investing 400billion creating production companies of 1billion naira each of 400 units or 500million naira each of 800 companies in different categories of products to boost our export scattered all over the federation that will boost our non -oil exports, thereby creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and earning fx into our economy.

Lets imagine 400billion annually for 4yrs creating such and that will by far reduce importation to a very large extent.

Primary school students are not starving/hungry.

waice6571:
In my own case, I have been able to separate hatred for govt from reality.

The question is:
1. How long can they sustain this program?

2. What is the cost implication in the next four years?

3. What will be implication if same amount is sincerely channelled towards fixing electricity/ rural roads construction for reliable transportation of agricultural produce which is more beneficial to the people?

4. Why can't government handle governmental businesses and parents; parenting?


I don't expect such amount to end in septic tank without any return.

Quote me with honest answers.
Thanks.

Its still 18 states for 93 billion naira (for six months). In 1 year 18 states will consume 186 billion naira.
Ans when all the 36 states get involved + the FCT it will amount to about 400 billion naira just to feed primary school pupils annually in Nigeria.

In their demands, they should include a request to have a functional commercial seaport in Akwa Ibom or Port Harcourt. Over dependency on Lagos port can not help grow foreign trade.

Ajibel:
He's a footballer. I'm curious, what has that got to do with the topic?

Or did any politician visit him?

The Ooni of Ife paid him a visit.

Probably they are happy that their mn 'Osinbanjo' is now the 'acting' PRESIDENT.

Time to chop money, that was why Udo Udoma emphasized on speedy release of funds for capital projects (with minimal due process),i guess.

Ajibel:
I want to ask, can the Ooni possibly summon or invite any political office holder to his place?
Any right under the constitution? Because I know only the Senators/ Honourables in the House can do that...
So I don't see anything wrong with the Ooni's visits.

Please what political office is Obafemi Martins holding?

Must every APC member lie?

Nigerian government is annually spending N10billion for feeding of prisoners in the country, minister of Interior, AbdurRahman Dambazau has said.

With the country’s estimated prison population of 57,000, the government is roughly spending N14,000 for a three-square meal of each prisoner per day.

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Kaduna on Tuesday, Dambazau said his ministry is searching inward to see how it can harness some revenue sources in the sector to complement government’s efforts.

“It is unacceptable for government to be commiting N10 billion every year on feeding of prison inmates,” Dambazau said.


http://dailynigerian.com/2016/05/10/nigeria-spends-n14000-daily-to-feed-each-prisoner-minister/


So this minister can lie at his age...what do they think Nigerians are? 14,000 per day to feed a prisoner...that is close to monthly minimum wage. But still the prisoners look malnutrition-fed. Must every APC member lie?
