aresa: 1. What you generate or don't generate is irrelevant, what budget you passed to work with determines how much you have and how rich you are.

2. Akwa Ibom pass higher budgets than Lagos state and their population is almost 1/4 of Lagos state's population. Almost N100 billion more than Lagos state.

3. The only thing they have in Akwa Ibom are just the few roads in Uyo, the rest are 1 uncompleted hospital, 1 uncompleted stadium, 1 uncompleted airport, 1 uncompleted tropicana.


Still, Akwa Ibom has N60 billion debt with the largest budget in Nigeria and one of the smallest population.


Find another state to formulate your example baseless rubbish on..

Please STOP telling very stupid LIES trying to defend the senseless LOOTING of Lagosians by your boss and his godfather.

Atouke: unborn children of the five debt affected states.

I think you should STOP making this debt & non-performance simply an issue for south west states ONLY. Otherwise you will seem like an ethnic warlord. We yorubas can certainly deal with our THIEVING BASTARDS of leaders.

Almost all the 36 states are in the same terrible situation.

Ayekotoo: Ok! they are not responsibilities of the federal government. Are they also not your state government responsibilities? Mr. crayon, you are a disgrace if you can't hold your leaders responsible for your sorry state.

Mr. Seer, please name my sorry state
Instead of coming together to say what is bad is nothing else but bad you are trying unsuccessfully to label me as not a concerned person in the affected yoruba states
Abeg try again, you hear

aresa: What part of the things you listed your own state and federal government provided with their huge debt ?

I would think that an Aide to Fashola, SAN such as you EkoIle aka Aresa would know that ALL that I listed are NOT constitutional responsibilities of the federal government.
Perhaps I rated you higher than you deserve

vicadex07: How convenient of you. They're all South West States right? And all are "non PDP" states.

Hmmn... These ethnic bigots have obviously changed their tactics. They are now using more sly and subtle means to achieve their goals.

PDP can lie sha, despite the obvious progress all these states are making without much contribution from the FG, the only line of action for them is to resort to cheap blackmail.

Progress that excludes addressing BASIC states' constitutional RESPONSIBILITY such as-

- TAP water.
- PUBLIC schools for all our children.
- FEEDER/INNER roads.
- General hospitals & primary health care clinics.

can only be aptly described as STAGNATION at best or RETROGRESSION in reality

adadadon: GEJ has failed in all

I see that you are IGNORANT of the role of states as different from that of federal government.
Please get some education thereon before you make further comments that will embarrass you, ok

chemali: Define "core basic constitutional responsibilities" and you would clearly see that your adjective perfectly describes Jonathan. Fashola isn't a failure, he just didn't pay you to support him.

Do the following count as core BASIC constitutional responsibilities
- provision of TAP water despite annual budget of almost N20 billion.
- adequate number and appropriately staffed & equipped PUBLIC schools for all children.
- well maintained FEEDER/INNER roads.
- adequately staffed & equipped general hospitals & primary health care clinics.

chemali: I wonder how a man who infamously debated himself on national TV should ever be considered electable! Honestly, I wish Fashola would be a candidate in this election. It's high time Nigeria raises the bar and stop pushing forward a mediocre as candidate for elective position. Don't want no mediocre

Elections are not & should not be about just being able to TALK, which Fashola is very good at.
It should be about performance and being able to deliver on your core BASIC constitutional RESPONSIBILITIES. Alhaji Babatunde Raji Fashola has been a COLOSSAL FAILURE on this very important score.
DECEPTION can only take a man so far

What is the source of this suspicious story
Abi e nor get sauce ni?

barcanista: WHere is the lie and when did APC announce Zoning of Presidential Office to the North? What do you mean by not adhering to internal democratic process? Do you know how things work in APC or you are here to bandy words?

You obviously have not heard and/or do not understand that the most important things are NOT said/written.

When you have finished convincing/confusing yourself that the Arewa People's Congress, APC has not zoned its presidency to the Fulani north, then let us know. We will be here to remind you when the become has come to become

esere826: we're back to why i called her intelligent
from the level of argument displayed by some doc on this thread
i suspect that such 'intellectual' curiosity to 'suspect' is not common place

That is a terribly lovely punch

phantom: ....... mentally deranged Nigerians. wholeheartedly defending a government that can't provide guns and bullets for its soldiers.

soldiers are going AWOL! I guess its also the doctors fault.
in case you have forgotten boko haram has retaken gwoza while your soldiers are burning their uniforms and hitching rides.....lol
crazy Nigerians! defending a president who is in Germany for medical attention as I type this,while his hospitals remain shut. the ordinary Nigerians can die for all he cares.
if that is not Jonathan flipping a giant-sized middle finger at all of you,I don't know what is.

you guys really deserve that drunken clown and his cronies.

You can EXAGGERATE our situation as much as you and others like you want. It does not change the FACT that the Jonathan/Sambo federal administration has done much better than their predecessors and those LIARS and PROPAGANDISTS jostling to replace them.

To that extent, I am committed to supporting them as much as possible IF they decide to run for elections again next year so that the slow but STEADY progress we have since under their administration can continue.

phantom: but her action ended up saving a great part of the PUBLIC.

My post was in reply to yours, which included this:

how many of you give a hoot what she earned there?

how many of you have suggested what govt should do for her family?

you are quick to remember she was doing what she was trained for but very slow to review THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH SHE WORKED.

and in the context of the TOPIC of this thread.......so.......

BTW, I suggested clearly that she should be honoured with a national award by the FGN while the LASG and other relevant organisations immortalise her work & selfless legacy in order to promote similar values among us.
Do you have a better suggestion

phantom: she kept doing her job till she died. has it not ended in "eyahh" "pity""so sad""she was brave","you died so that we may live","you are an icon","god bless you sister"

how many of you give a hoot what she earned there?

how many of you have suggested what govt should do for her family?

you are quick to remember she was doing what she was trained for but very slow to review THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH SHE WORKED.

I thought she worked in a PRIVATE hospital
Am I wrong?

Given the speed with which the flooded Enugu airport thread made FP one wonders why this BALANCE thread is still hidden

benbuks: Africa now waking up from it century slumber ,

bravo.

Not quite.
Wake me up when these INDIVIDUAL displays of intelligence [which we ALWAYS had/have] is translated to SOCIETAL brilliance for COMPARATIVE greatness in the comity of nations.
We should be finding out why this has not happened YET

Meanwhile it is almost certain these children will get SCHOLARSHIP to universities abroad and WE would have lost as usual. That should worry US, not so

bushdoc9919: You are making the wrong comment.....the question you should be asking is why Nigerian leaders have not invested enough in scientific and educational research so that we can produce our answer to Zmapp for ebola.

The US owes you nothing.

It is not simply about leaders only. We followers have the larger part of the blame.
In short, the leaders are no more than a reflection of our aggregate values at any particular time.

BRAV0O: Kudos to human race!

We've being through a lot , it as not being easy to be who we are

Ebola! Like any other disease, we'll get over you even to that extend of taking paracetamol to cure the virus

And america! Hope you have not started to giving ur ebola patients our pesticides ? Talk true !

It is true that we Nigerians like other black people are individually, equally gifted members of the human race as our longer-nosed fellow homo sapiens.
However the TRUTH remains that we have contributed NOTHING to any of the aspects of modern life & living, which we SHAMELESSLY enjoy yanfu, yanfu. Simply look around you
BTW, where did you get OUR pesticide from

teemy: Rather I blame the Local Governments that keep doling out such fund without requesting for accountability. It is a case of "wayo man wan die, wayo man burry am". A careful investigation would reveal their culpibility is linked to them also siphoning funds for their personal use (Chairmen) hence no one is asking questions.

If that sum was used for security i'e giving same to the police in the areas, by now the state should have been boasting of one of the best police force units in this area of the atlantic. The Chairmen, councillors just didn't care for their people enough.

The BIGGER fault is with us the people. Since we are SLACK these non-entities that we HONOUR keep chancing us.
How UTTERLY FOOLISH can we be

MzJackBaueress: it doesn't bother me. You're free to quote me but without colours just as you did now.

If it doesn't bother you why ask that I should not use colours
I am confused here. Please clarify thanks.

The senior aide to the impeached governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, was paid N45 million monthly as security votes raised by all the Local Government Areas in the state, a permanent secretary in the state said Wednesday.

The Adamawa State Permanent Secretary for Local Government, Kennedy Dauda, said during Mr. Nyako's tenure as governor, the local government areas contributed N48 million and paid same to the governor's aide-de-camp[ADC] as support for the police. The money was was never accounted for, he said.

Mr. Dauda made the claims while appearing before a seven-person panel constituted by the state Acting Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, to probe Mr. Nyako's administration. “The 21 local government councils in the state has been contributing N48 million monthly as assistance to the police and the amount was being collected by the ADC to former Governor, Murtala Nyako, for security,” he said at the panel's sitting held at High Court II in Yola. Mr. Dauda also told the panel that the local governments also made a monthly contribution of N10. 5 million for the operations of the three state-owned media organizations. He said the money never reached its destination.

He told the panel that the local governments, through the ministry he heads also paid N167 million in 2012 to a company that was awarded a contract for the provision of CCTV cameras. Mr. Dauda said he was not sure the contract ever commenced. The panel raised some questions concerning the contracts awarded including one for 210 housing units in a local government and the purchase of 110 Hilux vans. The permanent secretary said at the time the contracts were awarded, he was not in charge. The chairman of the panel, Umar Bobbo, said the panel will get in touch with relevant individuals and organizations to verify the claims by the permanent secretary.

No wonder the LGAs cannot perform their functions in all our states.
Rather than the states allocating more money to the LGAs from their state-raised IGRs as provided by the constitution they are taking money from the LGAs

Meanwhile gutters and drains will not be cleared, LGA roads will not be constructed nor maintained with roadside bushes cleared regularly, houses not numbered, streets not adequately named etc etc. Can one imagine how many youths will be gainfully employed doing these activities and making our communities attractive for enterprises to flourish and even more wealth plus IGR to be generated for all & sundry

Then the WORST part every month, one Saturday, we will be locked up in our areas doing the jobs we ALREADY paid these LGAs to do for us thinking we are doing Environmental Sanitation
One of the CLUELESS legacies of military DICTATOR, General Buhari

And MUGUS that we are go dey shout president this, president that, unaware that the biggest RODENTS and the MOST corrupt THIEVES are right in our face locally.
How long before we redeem ourselves from our voluntary, self-imposed IGNORANCE that walks hand in hand with MENTAL SLAVERY

MzJackBaueress: stop writing in colours next time you wanna quote me.

Why? Any particular reason
If the thing really bothers you, please ask Seun to remove the colours See very simple solution

PhockPhockMan: That's why Ribadu made the wise move to PDP.

Abi oh, if sey na me sef, I go fit think the same way o jare..............make the JagaBandit nor go take my head collect im own stomach infrastructure again
Who want be eternal MUGU for another person

MzJackBaueress: The bad toilet facilities in University of Ibadan should be blamed on Oyo state government too. Is that so?

You obviously do not realize the substantial part that adequate provision of TAP water, a constitutional RESPONSIBILITY of state governments plays in sustaining the hygiene and sanitation of these facilities, do you

I always try to imagine that you are a very wise, well-informed person, I hope I am not making a mistake

Mynd44: Your point of bashing the State government is defeated. The FG responsible for the camps. How do you expect the state government to fix things owned by the FG? Is that not why their duties are different?

Get in contact with the NYSC head office and lay your complaint, the governor is not at fault here. Learn to put the blame where it should go so you don't sound ignorant (even though you sound like you are)

Keep trying in your FAILED endeavor to exonerate the state governor, Ajimobi in this case. I wish you plenty of energy to keep doing so as you display not only your ignorance but also your CLUELESSNESS

nigerianvenom: The NYSC orientation camp, Iseyin Oyo state has been described as one of the worst camps in Nigeria, cos it looks more like a prison yard than a camp for fully matured Nigerian graduates.

Corp members serving in the state say getting potable water inside the camp is hell, the camp's modern bathrooms are a no-go area as well, forcing them to bathe outside in makeshift bathrooms.

Let us even assume that you are a BLIND bat and could not read the highlighted were you also that blind not to see pictures of corpers queuing up with buckets in front of black plastic tanks
Please tell us Misitah-I-am-not-IGNORANT, who is responsible for providing TAP water in our country?

- federal
or
- state

Mynd44: Since when did NYSC camps become the responsibility of the state government? Ask the federal government who posted them there to do something about their concerntration camps.

Go read about the duties of each tier of government before running your fingers

This is very sad.
Our state governors have abandoned the provision of BASIC utility like TAP water then when Ebola virus strikes MUGUS that we are go dey shout America oh, Obama oh.
Yet every year they allocate big big money for their Water Corporation like Lagos state allocated N20 billion
When will we hold these governors RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for these big big budget allocations they make EVERY year without results
When?

barcanista: “Our Chief Judge designate has indeed been strongly recommended by the National Judicial Council and enthusiastically appointed by His Excellency, the Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN. Her Ladyship’s appointment has also been reviewed, found worthy and confirmed by the Lagos State House of Assembly.”

The NJC is an Independent Body at The Federal level which is Headed by the Chief Jistice of The Federation (An Appointee of The FG)... Ar you saying that the NJC is under APC's Control? Please get enlightenment before embarrassing yourself.

So you know that the judiciary is INDEPENDENT yet you go dey do cry cry baby about the trial and (non)conviction of corrupt cases
Chain, what manner of HYPOCRISY
Ol'boy try and free yourself from this mental slavery, abeg

lat4real: Family business continue... Congrat to her.

You mean like everything going on in Thief'nubu estate aka Lagos state

- Wife is SINator.
- Daughter is Iyaloja
- Son in law is representaTHIEF

Eko don spoil finish with plenty corruption, na IGR nor let us sabi

Onegai: Pray and get a 2nd and 3rd opinion. I know countless couples in your situation.

My friend's sis was told she'd never have a kid till the fibroid was removed, infact it would damage her womb. Had a son this year. Same with my sister (she even got her medical diagnosis in UK, she's a medical person. Now has 2 annoyingly noisy boys). My friend and cousin are still waiting for their own kids, but we're all hopeful.

No-one knows how your story will end. I know someone who adopted and then her daughter came along 10 years later, then every year after a child would come, so she had 3 more kids.

Adoption is good and should be encouraged among our people. Better if done without any particular expectation of reward from God but rather from the perspective of helping a fellow human being in need.
I also know someone who adopted and later got babies of her own, including twins
