Politics / Re: MKO Abiola: Oyo, Ogun Declare June 12 Public Holiday by alexiej(m): 7:15pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
NwaAmaikpe: How exactly did that military government assume power? By the popular votes of the citizens or by "usurping power"? If your answer is "usurping power", then you have no right to say Abiola committed treason and had no respect for constituted authority. Please, just take the young man's advice, yeah? Google really helps. 3 Likes |

Afam4eva: I get your point. But my own point is, there's enough... Enough potentials in other states too, that those state governments are not taking advantage of. The potentials may vary, and Lagos may have the upper hand of its antecedents and stuff, but other states also have a lot to exploit, if there weren't such mediocres in government. I'll give an example. About 4 years ago, I went for the law week program (a week program for lawyers) in Ibadan, and I heard the speakers (many of whom were from Lagos) speak. It got to a point that they kept saying stuff like "In Lagos, we now have this", "In Lagos, we do that"... And even the moderator or so had to comment about it. It was as if (and it was quite obvious actually) that Lagos was quite far ahead in their legal system. They could settle a case during Case Management Conference within 3 months, and not have to spend years in court... Etc. Now, did that come from population size? No. Did that come from antecedent? No. It only took a thinking leadership to exploit the smart brains in the system. Every state has those smart brains, unfortunately, not every state has the thinking leadership. So all that the other states could do was to copy the Lagos model. With such a small land mass (compared to other states) and such large population, Lagos is able to "manage" their traffic. I put manage in quote because traffic in Lagos is still very terrible, but when you consider that Oyo state, with such a larrrge land mass, and just about 5 million people, (maaanyy of whom do not have cars) also has terrible traffic many times, then you'll commend Lagos. I agree with you, really. "Lagos was a goldmine", but I'm saying other states are also massive goldmines. It only takes intelligent governments to dig it out. And even without talking about revenue generation issues, we can see that many other governments lack the capacity to think, such that even if they had the same antecedents, population, opportunities that Lagos had/has, they still wouldn't have been able to take advantage of it. 10 Likes |

IdeyFindWife: Well, technically, Nasarrawa cannot do much with their mineral resources cos the Fed Govt has exclusive rights to that... But I get your point though. I stay in Oyo State and I know how desperately 'UN-INNOVATIVE' our leaders are here. No thoughts as to how to increase IGR, apart from taxes and levies. Osun gov could not generate anything reasonable from his state and he blamed the Jonathan administration for his inability to pay his staff cos according to him, Osun got the lowest allocation. Now, his party member is president and he can't complain about that anymore, yet, he hasn't paid salaries. When Obasanjo starved Lagos of funds then, they had to think out ways to generate money. I am a law student. I know the landmark laws and procedures that Lagos has pioneered in Nigeria. They seem to review their laws regularly and even though there's still a lot to do, they seem to be on their toes about it. But what do you see in Oyo State, Osun state, etc? Copy copy! Busy copying from Lagos... Without thinking!!! So it's in everything, not revenue generation alone. It's in law, education, infrastructure.... Yet, our own governors, commissioners don't think here. Why wouldn't Lagos keep leading? I agree with you bro.... It would actually be unfair to think Lagos has anything to do with the failures of other states. I wonder if the Niger Delta people actually know that their governors receive so much commission on the oil explored from their states. Cos if they do, all these wailing would stop, and they would hold their governors to account for why their states are the way they are, and they would leave Lagos out of their issues. 15 Likes 1 Share |

BABANGBALI: "Man's inhumanity to man" is used when a person does something bad, terrible, inhuman, demeaning, wicked, to another person. Like boko haram activities, like rape, robbery, those are acts of mans inhumanity to man. Here there was an act of hospitality, kindness. There's no"Man's inhumanity to man". |

Victorclean1: Hello sir. I probably wouldn't have bothered to reply this but I chose to when I noticed you could be a christian (from your username and the tone of your comment). So let me get to the point. I don't know how much of the bible you read, but if you study Mark 2, Jesus visited Levi (a tax collector *(like the corrupt politician, police officer etc of nowadays)*) and dined with him and in verse 15, we see that Jesus actually dined with "many tax collectors and sinners". Does that mean Jesus was a sinner? No. Does that mean Jesus was looking for favours from the sinners? No. Does that mean Jesus was a hypocrite? No. You said exactly what the Pharisees (holier than thou people) said about Jesus. 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” It's actually better not to condemn something when you don't really understand it sir. 1 Like |

I once bought coca cola, and obviously it had been opened. Part of it had been poured out and they had topped it with water. I just noticed that it didn't make a sound when I opened it, then I noticed the ridiculous taste. Everything is just messed up here. |

Write to radio stations... Fresh FM, Splash FM especially. Let the letter reflect that you guys are crying out for help. It would carry more weight if t comes from your Landlords' Association. I guess something should be done that way. Having said that, I should tell you that the presence of the Nigeria Police in an area may likely not stop the robbers, especially if they are as notorious as you say. A young man was once robbed in my area (Akobo too) at gun point, just less than 30 meters from a police post. He cried and shouted, the police probably even closed their door... This was around 9pm o, the night was still young. Pray... Cos that's our only hope in this country. But ask for help through the radio too sha. |
