patrickmuf:
Since he's using comparison as a tool to drive home his point we can definitely draw conclusion that he is pointing towards the norm in this case 'Mediocrity'

So you are saying this "norm" of mediocrity is demonstrated by all our recent presidents' at the SAME level or there is a difference among them based on information shared by various posters on this thread

patrickmuf:
Don't you think you're advising us to embrace mediocrity with this your lines?

I do not think so.
He is clearly sharing COMPARATIVE information about our recent presidents' performance in a specific area.
That is definitely NOT how to ask us to embrace mediocrity.
If you have contrary credible information you should simply share also instead of inferring conclusions that the poster has NOT made.

VolvoS60:
^^^^
Good. We are getting somewhere. The facts are beginning to come out.

The only problem I have with your data is that it does not state which roads are bad. Are they federal, state or LG? The story is not complete until this information is provided! The chart simply provides room for the deflection and reassignment of blame/responsibility that defines this thread.

Nigerians want to know who is responsible for the percent of Nigerian roads that are in a poor state. Is it the FG, state or LG? Or a combination of all three? And in what proportion?

A combination of all three.
Proportion is based on where you are hence the usefulness of the # forum that is the subject of this thread.

pendy79:
Moronic and foolish idiots like celebrate and applaud cluelessness and ineffective governance.

Show me a state road within the purview of any state governor that is worst than the apapa oshodi federal highway, ikorodu-sagamu fed. Highway, umuahia-ikotekpene, kwara-niger federal highway, aba-ikotekpene, uyo-calabar, onitsha -enugu, umuahia-enugu, owerri-portharcourt.

You rush online to defend cluelessness and inept governance simply because you have never experienced a functional and people oriented governance. Your physche has been so bastardized by the calibre of governors you produced in the south east that you all clannishly expect the other regions to accept too.

Sorry other reasonable Nigerians don't reason like your lots.

How you take know sey I come from south east?
You be winch, seer abi na prophet
Oya declare yourself!

This thread should actually be on FP our own equivalent to Yahoo's homepage.

pendy79:
My brother this government won't know what hit them by february next year. They think it will be business as usual they will see a rude shock.

How can you come to power through popular demand and goodwill and squander that woefully without anything tangible to show for it yet you think you must continue.

Change is here and it is within our reach.

Nothing will deny our march to freedom from the grips of the PDP by May 29 2015

So in your swagger-ful smartness ALL roads in Nigeria are the responsibility of the federal administration. Attached is the % road distribution with the federal government having same as states while 774 LGAs that are 101% controlled by state governors are responsible for the greatest number of kilometres.

Chai, see original, concentrated STUP'IDITY on full public display

mikeansy:
For those that did not notice this road is in a certain utopia/eldorado called LAGOS!!!!!!

This is a combined failure by our political class. By this I mean all our leaders from state level to federal level, and not just from this era but also from previous era!

To pretend it's GEJ's alone is simply living in denial.

Fashola and Tinubu also have responsibility here!

You can't praise APC/Fashola for all that is right about Lagos and then turn around to blame GEJ when it is bad news!

That's just double standards!

Oga, fret not. Most people have come to realise that double standards = APC standards.

Just a current example, Tambuwal leaves PDP for APC and becomes a born-to-gain progreTHIEF saint. Amosun's deputy governor leaves APC for SDP and he becomes a born againST demon

Billyonaire:
Do we still have energy to attempt to dispute lies told by APC ? This is a party of the fraudulent, for the fraudulent and by the fraudulent. Their lies are orchestrated by the Chief Liar himself, he was born and named by his parent as Lai Mohammed. A combination of two words, Lie and Mohammed, these two words have left this planet in shambles.

Make we forget these janja people. On valentine day 2015, we will make their role model Buhari, to cry us a river once again.

Oga we need to continuously find the energy as it is the future of our dear country at stake.
May the Lord continue to be our strenght, Insha Allah- Ase Edumare

Iykopee:
Its seems the OP came in contact with the APC lying machines for the first time... A proper ex-ray on the APC chief defenders of evil with specialty in insults and lies wud reveal alot hence, i dont bother engaging people who really do not have irrefutable facts to present in favour of Buhari. I recall vividly the issue of buhari building 3 refineries was the greatest lie that was used by these lying machines to promote some1 whose political idealogy and career has reached its twilight.. @ datolee, don't waste ur time engaging the unintelligent barcanista and his chain of scoundrels on analytical issues devoid of aging lies.

Thanks for your points BUT we need to engage these bunch of LIARS and even do so VIGOROUSLY.
Otherwise they will CONFUSE many of our folks who are too LAZY to research these FACTS to counter their lies.
BTW, is that not their mandate as "internet warriors"- to confuse the minds of their fellow citizens in favour of those who paid them crumbs from what they have stolen from all of us over the decades

BTW very good FP title to avoid undue hues and cries from any quarters.
Seun, you do well.

datolee:
It is so shameful that we have to started arguing non-issues, instead of you to accept your mistake and move on, you are still making unnecessary arguments. I have given you a record from DMO and from CBN.. From your own Video, they confirmed with me that Shagari's debt was $15 billion... now answer this, did Buhari paid the $15 billion and make Nigeria debt free country??

I do not know any other authentic source for Nigeria's debt profile except DMO. I will keep repeating until it get's to your head. By 1985 the debt profile had deteriorated seriously due to persistent inability of the country to meet its external debt service obligations. This resulted in mounting arrears and unmanageable growth of the debt stock relative to available resources. The external debt stock, which was about US$8.855 billion in 1980, grew to nearly US$19 billion by 1985.

Here are my facts which you are unable to disprove

1. Nigeria's debt profile at the end of Shagari's regime was $14.13 billion (just under $15 billion quoted in your own video)

2. Nigeria's total debt profile at the end of Buhari's regime was $18.03 billion (just under the nearly $19 billion quoted by DMO)

What is your confusion now?

Thanks for your PERSISTENCE based on verifiable credible source of data.

Just wondering if the BALLOONED debt figure of $18.03 billion, which is an increase of almost $4 billion in two years is linked to the importation of essential commodities aka "Essenco" via the Nigeria National Supply Company (NNSC). Such essential commodities included:

- Milk
- Sugar
- Rice
- Salt
- Vegetable oil
- Tyres

It is this CLUELESS economic sabotage that discouraged local manufacturing and agriculture killed off our industry and the farmers

biafranqueen:
Where are they

Right here =>

aresa:
The story is bogus of course... Just another trollish rubbish by NL resident troller in charge...

and his lap dog quickly cued in:

barcanista:
Anonimi is indeed a troll, how can government owe salary of 18 Months? If it is arrears we may start looking into it but Salary? mbanu... Too Fake

mrofficial:
Only gullible ones will believe this. How can people with family work for good 18 months without pay? Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Those who can will extort money from the students.
Those who cannot will find other ways of "sorting" themselves out including stealing and selling off the College's assets.

One sees that everywhere in our country with UNDER_paid and UN_paid workers e.g. toilet cleaners at the airports who sell toilet rolls and water to those who want to use such facilities.

barcanista:
Anonimi is indeed a troll, how can government owe salary of 18 Months? If it is arrears we may start looking into it but Salary? mbanu... Too Fake

Arrears of what would it be then
If not their salary as reported by the newspaper last week as the cause of a protest at the governor's office to which his normally super-efficient PR team has not reacted?

Elderlywoman:
God will judge them all. Omu Eze Stella Odauh is also owing staff of SPG 5 months salary and does not remit Pension and taxes to the appropriate quarters.

Yet she is doing useless big madam all over the place and waiting to go to the senate
Meanwhile her CLUELESS supporters are struggling to be voluntary slaves to oyinbo where they won't be owed salary for work ALREADY DONE!

Why are we black people so UNREASONABLE

wilsondave:
I beg they are thesame joor. next thing we hear now is federal government has reduced allocation to states both parties are birds of the same feather. they have nothing to deliver than to lie and blackmail the good citizen of Nigeria and to steal our money. I belief there generation will also suffer this too.

Don't allow yourself to be deceived by our useless state governors saying the state allocations has been reduced.
Did they not sue the federal administration for the Sovereign Wealth Fund and subsidy deductions
So if indeed the allocations are being reduced unjustly they would have sued again, not so?

You may wish to note that road contracts awarded by states costs many times more per kilometer than those awarded by the federal government
Generally speaking corruption is highest at the LGA level followed by the state and the LEAST corrupt is the federal.

collynzo82:
See your life. You have quickly turn the good thread to PDP vs APC. You no get shame nii? Haba!

Since you dey suffer from whatever it is that makes you not see properly, let me re-post what I responded to so you can direct your shame to the appropriate quarter.
Fair enough

TribalEAST:
setting up committees is what PDP do, but APC springs up ideas that are truly progressive.

FastShipping:
Akpabio in Akwa Ibom has not paid since September. Swine Flu in Benue has not paid salaries since July. Boko Haram sympathizer Governo of Bauchi has not paid salaries since August. They are all PDP governors.

Thanks for confirming that all these state governors are useless irrespective of their party affiliation and WORSE than the federal administration that we all cluelessly scream about.

28 OCTOBER 2014

Staff of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, (AOCOED), Ijanikin, on Monday besieged the Lagos State Secretariat and office of the State Governor Mr. Babatunde Fashola located in Alausa, Ikeja, to protest what they termed as series of anomalies in the institution.

The staff who brandished placards with inscriptions such as , 'Olukoga must go', 'Where is our cooperative funds', 'Bashorun must go', 'Fashola pay out four and half years salary arrears', among others said they were also protesting against the credibility of members of the ad-hoc committee set up by the governor to address the issues affecting institution.

Their protest march disrupted working activities in the Alausa secretariat while it lasted.

Addressing newsmen, Chairman of Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, Senior Staff Union in Colleges of Education, Nigeria, SSUCOEN and Non Academic Staff Union, NASU AOCOED, Mr. Michael Avosetinyen, Mrs. Wunmi Ombugadu and Mr. Femi Adebayo argued that the ad-hoc committee set-up by Governor Babatunde Fashola was not genuine.

Avosetinyen said some of the issues rocking the institution include, unpaid 18 months salaries, non-payment of pensioners' benefits for three years, non-remittance 7.5 percent deducted from worker's salary for 17 months into the Retirement Savings Account, RSA under the new pension scheme, over N150 million unremitted fund deducted from the co-operative funds, poor funding of the institution and others.

He explained that when the governor set up the ad-hoc committee, they were happy and responded immediately the committee invited the unions to a meeting.

LIES and APC seem to walk hand-in-hand

soroptimist:
Can you just stop being evasive with the truth.......

Did i say i saw Tinubu in the pictures posted by the OP?


The event was relayed live on channelstv.com/live which i monitored from start to finish

My apologies oh as I nor get TV for where I dey hustle for my daily bread me I dey rely on wetin dem post for thread oh!
If you sey you see am, na im be sey you see am....case closed!

OrlandoOwoh:
Whenever you see Buhari on a campaign ground, you're the ground are not induced with money. People just love the man.

Why do you people like telling LIES so much even with pictures
The very SAME picture of Buhari on campaign ground has been used before in another place =>

Didnt accursed Jonathanians and Hell-going TANdriods led by Never-do-well SincereLIEgerian say that Tinubu is bed-ridden and on the throes of death due to Parkinson syndrome?


Was it not the same Tinubu that i just watched drive a dagger into the temple of GEJ/PDP in Kwara ?

You saw Tinubu in those pictures by the OP
Probably need to change your glasses abi your eyes gan paapa

We are waiting for his squash game challenge a la Yar'Adua

Why this EXAGGERATION by our government officials at ALL levels - federal, state and LGAs

Not only senseless but also clueless.
No wonder a few misguided people are willing to have an old soldier who called them "senseless & useless" to come back and flog them into discipline

leofab:
did you read the topic before quoting someone and acting smart? Didn't you see where he claimed that he phones Dangote?

And for your mind Glo, MTN, Econet management were NOT talking to each other when Glo entered the market and started the price war that ultimately benefited consumers
In fact when they meet at social and industry events they carefully avoid each other to avoid any discussion on their respective companies
An real wa for ways oh!

There is no doubt that this is VERY WRONG and whoever is advising Akpabio or any governor for that matter to do this does not have their best interest at heart.

TheSonOfMark:
RENAMING OF THE NEW AKWA IBOM STATE INTERNATIONAL STADIUM.

Reports reaching me ,and from investigations I have made, indicates that the new international stadium is to be named after the state governor as GOD'SWILL AKPABIO INTERNATIONAL STADIUM.
Now here's the thing: Do you think it's morally or politically okay if a sitting executive public office holder decides to name public infrastructures after him or herself?
Do you think it sets a negative precedent for successive governors ? Or
Do you think this singular move by the incumbent has the tendency to heat up the polity or not?

I've been having animated debates about this with some folks in my hood and their views thus far have been diverging.
So, ladies and gentlemen, what's your take on the aforementioned issue? Looking forward to interacting with you all.

Jonathan has failed Nigerians at all turn.

Just like Fashola has FAILED Lagosians at all turn.
QED!!!

FrankC3:
Attending Council of State meeting is loyalty to President Jonathan and his wife? Something is definitely wrong with the mindset of APC.

Not surprised though. I asked one of them what has been the contribution of Buhari to the peace and stability of the country since 1999 to prove his love for the country he wants to lead. I was shocked when he proudly asked me how do I expect Buhari to help his enemy. He followed up with a disturbing analogy that why should MTN help Etisalat promote their brand.

Something is definitely wrong with a political party that believes that patriotism is equivalent to supporting the incumbent President, it also goes to show that the President is doing something right for opposition politicians to assume that being patriotic will advance his interest. For example, contributing their efforts to stopping Boko Haram to APC somehow favors the President. This calls for worry!!

It only proves that the Arewa People's Congress, APC is

* anti-systems
** anti-democratic INSTITUTIONS

which really should not be a surprise seeing that their leading lights are known & closet DICTATORS & AUTOCRATS who have no regard whatsoever for the law except when it suits them.

God forbid that we have such people at the helm of affairs in our nation to horsewhip their "senseless & useless" fellow citizens into discipline

asudan:
That's not true ,remember we have cost push inflation cause as a result of cost of production e.g increment in wages and salaries, transportation cost,maintenance of plant and machineries e.t.c

That is not also true in the long run.
If you have cost-push inflation and there is declining demand over time the producer will have to

- absorb the cost
- expand his market to richer places where there can be new demand for his higher priced goods and/or services
- be competed out of the market by a LOWER cost => lower PRICE producer
- go into EXTINCTION/LIQUIDATION because consumers find a CHEAPER alternative

to mention just a few scenarios for a RATIONAL substantially free market that enhances COMPETITION, which will ensure that producers do not pass costs on to consumers anyhow, if the disposable income of the consumers is not also increasing!

The challenge in sane, developed and SERIOUSLY developing societies is how to create those fluid conditions so they can continuously reinvent themselves as they create new, added value each time while clueless societies like ours wait on God to save us or send a know-all, do-all messiah to rescue us from ourselves
