Mr Commissioner for Public Utilities, Tony Umezurike, your talk of banning sale of “pure water “ in Imo state can only make sense when Imo state government completes the water supply projects of Mbakwe in Okigwe and Orlu senatorial zones; now that similar water supply project of Mbakwe in Owerri zone is getting restored. Enough of this grandstanding, Owerri zone can’t host all of Imo state.
Misplaced aggression. They should have taken their frustrations to Imo state government which had devoted oil proceeds to Imo state towards building state capital since Imo state was created, but abandoned rest of the state, including oil producing areas.
Nothing for Imo state with highest number of qualified candidates for higher education.
Who knows whether the mindset of: ‘it must be either located in Owerri zone - or nothing’ cropped up during decision? Every important thing, including all tertiary education institutions in Imo state, can be allowed only in Owerri.
wizkidblogger: The Federal Government has issued a set of palliatives to help MSMEs wade through the current economic fallouts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, these palliatives reflect the Buhari administration’s determination to support MSMEs and the priority the Federal Government places on small businesses.
The palliatives are:
E-Registration of MSMEs/products at 80% discounted rate over a period of six months.
Zero tariffs for the first 200 micro and small businesses to register on the E-platform.
Waiver on administrative charges for overdue late renewal of expired licenses of micro/small businesses products for a period of 90 days.
But Customs people going for bribe money must chase after newly established business when the businesses establish manufacturing outfit. They close the outfits that can’t provide bribe money.
And Nigeria does not have the technological or telecommunications infrastructure of those nations. So your argument is doubly moot.
Moreso, you don't just move offices to a place for the sake of it. Especially during a time when you need to decrease expenditure. The reasoning given for this move is clearly stated and yet here you have Nigerians arguing against it with no valid reason. This is the problem with Nigeria.
If you were running a business would you open offices all over the place for no reason and decreasing income?
Difrent: Playing the victim card as usual, for the gullible like yourself ...... There are agencies headquartered in the east but AS GREEDY FOLKS YOU ARE EVERYTHING MUST BE IN THE EAST....
we are ONE NIGERIA,only south easterners want out because they lost out in the power game and would rather scatter everything because of that..... The infuriating reality for you folks is that since 2015 you've been playing this victim card, you have lost 2 general elections and most of non easterners that initially have some sympathy for you are tired already of your nonsense
After writing down the figments of your imagination, you must have gone to booze with the hope that you said something reasonable. But you said rubbish.
You needed to travel to the UK, US, Germany or even to China to understand that federal government institutions and parastatals are distributed nationwide.
What costs are you saving by concentrating every Nigerian government ministry and parastatal in one place in this age of advanced information technology?
mmsen: Do you understand that Abuja is the Federal Capital?
That the Federal Government is trying to reduce costs and increase efficiency, hence why they want all these ministries in close proximity.
What sense does it make to move these ministries to the South East?
Wow. Akinola Aguda self inflicted disease. Before long, Murtala Mohammed’s Airport Lagos may be ordered relocated to Abuja.
The UK, US, China etc don’t have all headquarters of government departments in the capital city. Since Akinola Aguda was ‘commissioned’ by a northern military dictator to remove Nigeria’s political capital from Lagos to Fulani controlled north, even federal government buildings in Lagos have been rotting away.
THEY ARE ARRESTED FOR GOING AND BURNING FULANI SETTLEMENT.
THEY MIGHT NOT BE THE ONES THAT BURNT THE FULANI SETTLEMENT IN OKPANAM.
THE FULANI IN OKPANAM KILLED THE VIGILANTE LEADER THERE.
Fulani hates any group that can cause division of Nigeria. Hausa/Fulani eat from one Nigeria.
The fear of division of Nigeria is the beginning of Fulani wisdom. That’s why Buhari hates Igbo, that’s why this Hausa/Fulani man is serving as Commissioner of Police in far away Delta state. That’s why the Fulani is roping in IPOB to any thing like crime.
Hafiz Inuwa, the Hausa/Fulani police boss in charge of Delta, framing IPOB can’t solve Nigeria’s problems. Your northern Nigeria started Islamic Sharia Criminal laws in a pluralistic society. Result: more almajiris and destruction in Nigeria.
A Hausa/Fulani man policing Delta state is by itself an abnormality.
Good. Before long, Nigeria shall be sustained by donation from those who milked Nigeria dry, instead of Arewa agreeing to restructuring Nigeria politically so that every region can easily carter for itself. Crude oil curse
But the EVIL, ROGUISH Lopsided political structure crafted by northern Nigeria soldiers can easily make El Rufai win every candidate from the south. No country formed by diverse regions ever used land mass as yardstick to create new federating units, only Nigeria.
Nigerian Politicians eat belly full while Fulani uses government instruments to make all parts of Nigeria a Fulani enclave������
Soldiers from southern Nigeria see themselves taking salaries for survival and watch Fulani gradually dislocate southern Nigerians from their southern enclaves.
sanctity454: Hope is building open drainages, now as an orlu town resident, which road is under construction in orlu
Like they said: governors from Orlu zone hate any idea of development in Orlu and the entire zone. So? In 8 years, Rochas sang that he was building state capital to international standard. Governors from Orlu zone build modern development projects inside villages of Orogwe, Naze, Obinze, now nearing Mbaise and Ikeduru.
But everywhere in their Orlu zone remains like before Imo state was created. Their business.
That hotel city, Owerri, has become gangsters enclave in the east, no thanks to girls, girls and girls in tertiary education institutions in excess in the city.
MEGA4BILLION: You people put us in this shit. Give way let me divide this countree
Britain, Turkey and Bosnia couldn’t make it in one European Union. But they keep one Nigeria - Nigeria the most dysfunctional country in the world. They watch as 190,000,000 humans in impossible one Nigeria get dehumanized, instead of Britain giving way for new workable countries to emerge from Nigeria, for the sake of humans forced into one Nigeria by British colonialism in 1914.
