First of all there is about 16 types of those roads and about 3 flyovers of that standard under construction in kaduna some are almost finished sef when ever i see the quality of those roads my head fills with pride
Secondly the picture of that school is very very old sef, the government schools in kaduna don't even use that uniform, all the schools in kaduna have been renovated to better standard's just do your research and see which states invested the most in education last year.

We need lack human infrastructure development until we invest in ourselves and develop we are not going anywhere politics in Nigeria needs to be totally demonetized to get a head start for example why not let all political office holders be paid the same wages as NYSC after all they are both in the service industry,until then will be brightest minds come on board.

China is a superpower today because it invested in its human population, same with India, today they have the best brains in every sphere of industry.

‘A budget that moves domestic spending in Aso Villa from N580m to N1.7bn cannot be a budget of change’

Abuja – Sen. Eyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia South) on Wednesday in Abuja, berated the 2016 budget and called on President Muhammaduu Buhari to withdraw it and go back to the drawing board.

Abaribe while making contributions during the consideration of the budget, said the proposal was faulty on many grounds and could not be implemented at it was.

He said that predication of oil benchmark at 38 dollars per barrel when the crude oil price had fallen below 30 dollars per barrel made the budget unrealistic.

Abaribe faulted the government for increasing spending by 30 per cent based on borrowing.

“Mr President, my colleagues, this budget is indeed unique. After the budget presentation, the finance minister has never come to explain the details of the budget as it is normally done.

“It is a budget of change I agree, but it is a change in the wrong direction. I say it is a change in the wrong direction because it says that it is based on zero budgeting requiring all expenses to be fully justified.

“Mr President, a budget that increases spending up to 30 per cent based solely on borrowing, in what way are we justified? That is the question we want to ask the people who brought this budget.

“We know what is going on in the global economy: this budget is predicated on an oil benchmark of 38 dollars per barrel and I can now say that with oil being 28 dollars today, this budget is dead on arrival.

“The job of the opposition is to help the government to get its priorities right, so I want to please urge this government to withdraw this budget and go back to the drawing board,” he said.

The senator also faulted the adjustments made in the budget as well as allocation for spending in the Aso Rock Villa, saying that it was too exorbitant.

He said that the adjustments rather than reduce spending in areas where they were not necessary only spread it into different offices.

“Mr President, a budget that moves domestic spending within Aso Villa from N580 million to N1.7 billion cannot be a budget of change.

“We were told that in the revised budget there was an adjustment due to error, we agree but what has happened is that up to N7 billion were moved from buying vehicles and spread to offices.

“It also increased the spending that is due to renovations within the Villa.

“They are going to renovate the Villa with N3.9 billion: what else do you want to renovate there that Nigerians will see in the Year 2016?” he asked.

Copied!!!

Governor Zulum of Borno State left the Government house yesterday without his security details and ended up at Pap, Akara & Masa joint for his breakfast, no camera man, only people who recognized him captured him. One thing special about him is that after buying, he empowers people beyond their wildest imagination.

no body prays for war but when it comes even the strong and ready and strong still falls, there's what some people call vehicular ballistic shield , if his car gets disables, 2 or 3 backup cars intersect and create a shield, mostly 7.62 armoured or bomb shielded cars, and the target is swiched to a backup runner car.
this is some high tech sh*t next time try not to challenge what you don't know, simply ask questions with respect

Saying that "Death sentence won’t stop corruption because it’s in the blood of Nigerians, is a very dangerous statement from Robert Clarke
Here, Robert Clarke is trying to discourage you to fight corruption and make corruption appear as something normal that should be
accepted by the mass. It make it seem like corruption is "not a big deal"

The system made us this bad. meet Nigerians in saner climes and watch them succeed legally. The naija system is so messed up. everyone has learnt that no one is for anyone.. we learnt that there are few people you can turn to for help and opportunity, we become greedy when entrusted with fortune for the fear of poverty.. the poor are trying to elevate themselves from it while the rich are dead scared of returning to it.

Are you holding brief for PMB?
He made us to understand that he has the experience, that the previous administratin was clueless.
And we voted for him.
Are you indirectly saying he has failed he should resign?

The Government primary school, U.B.E, Yabani under Zango Kataf Local Government area, Kaduna State has no chairs for students to sit on.

Students of the school sits on the floor everyday to learn and have gotten almost so used to this system of learning.

See photos of the students learning under such conditions...

SoNature:
Again, you have raised a good point, but you tend to limit Nigeria's problem to her electoral process. Sadly, it transcends election.

I need to remind you that the essence of election is selecting the popular candidates through a credible process. Now ask yourself, does Nigeria have sincere politicans? If yes, who are they?

Again, the problem of Nigeria is not the system but the people. There are countries with very weak systems, but they keep progressing because the people love their country and are ready to make sacrifices to see her grow. That's obviously not the case here.

A Nigerian mind is full of negative energy (this is scary!) and will do anything to undermine any positive process the INEC initiates. Nothing works in a country where most of its youths are looking to ruin its progress just for personal gains.

You need to reread the person u just quoted, two of you are saying the same thing in different versions, by now Southeast will be thinking of presenting consensus candidate,he is not referring to Southwest, but for Southeast politic of bitterness, all Southerners has to fight for it.

El-Rufai - It's Time to Restructure Nation
10 AUGUST 2010

For Nigeria to move to the next level, the issue of true federalism must be addressed, according to former FCT Minister, Malam Nasir El-Rufai. He shares his thoughts with Imam Imam.

Apprehension about the composition and workability of the Nigerian nation-state will subside if the country tilts towards true federalism, according to former FCT Minister, Malam Nasir El-Rufai. He said the present situation of things where all the component units get monthly allocations from the Federal Government only makes the states lazy and unproductive, adding that lack of foresight, financial discipline and lackadaisical approach to governance has played huge roles in limiting the country's march to greatness.

Many Of Those Calling For Restructuring Are Opportunists, Irresponsible – El-Rufai

The Kaduna State Governor, El-Rufai has described recent calls for the restructuring of Nigeria as political opportunism and irresponsibility.

El-Rufai, while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily said President Buhari’s administration has done far more in practical terms than past administrations and that many of those calling for a restructuring rather see it as a means of opportunism.

He stated that some of the practical steps taken towards restructuring included the fact that state governors are now more than ever, involved in economic policy making at the national level.

According to him, things that have always been hidden from state governments are now much more open as they are now more involved in investigations of finances of the excess crude account, among other things.

“We meet every month under the auspice of the National Economic Council and working together with the Federal Government we chart directions of economic policy and that is part of shifting the federal- state balance.

“A lot of the talk about political restructuring is political opportunism and irresponsibility in my opinion

“It is popular and people that have presidential aspirations think there is a platform upon which they will exploit this. As I said, if you look at the APC manifesto, all the elements to divulge power to the state to change the balance in the federation are there and we are committed to that as a party.

“The National Chairman of our party will restate that commitment and we are discussing it and as I said President Buhari and Osinbajo’s government has taken very concrete steps rather than rhetoric to actually move in that direction and we are going to move in that direction but we do not believe that the basis for it is rhetoric and opportunism, we do not believe that the 2014 CONFAB report is a sensible basis to even begin.

“We all know the circumstances in which the so-called CONFAB was put together, we all know the composition, how lopsided it was, how important stakeholders were not taken to account, how even the composition and numbers do not reflect the demographics and the diversity of this country and we took a position as a party not to participate but to encourage our state governors to be there at the table.”

Esseite:
Our politics is too expensive to get the right kind of leaders in, and the Nation has grown poorer to even enable that in the closest future..

Solution:
Enact into the constitution a point based election system, the higher a voters educational level, the higher your number of vote alongside the zoning dichotomy between the North and South still in place.

Primary school cert and below - 1 vote.
Secondary School cert - 2 votes.
Graduate - 3 votes.

Benefits:
- You encourage education 100%, which brings about innovations, ideas and problem solving..
- The chances of the right candidate increases at a very high percentage.
- You encourage birth control on quality not quantity..
- You give more voting power to the educated..
- You discourage vote buying aswell..
- The politicians would begin to seek integrity over popularity..
- the purpose of populating to win elections would be gone which adversely affects the Nation.
- 4 graduate votes would equal 12 primary school cert holder votes.

We really need to start thinking outside the box

After 50 years of Independence, the government of the so called disadvantaged regions ought to have done something to address the situation. You cannot continue to spoon-feed a child and expect that same child to grow, mature and be independent. A student from Abia scores 130 in the Federal Commonwealth Entrance exam, yet it's almost impossible to gain admission in the school of his choice, yet another child from Zamfara will score less than 5 and gain same admission seamlessly. How do you encourage such a child that hard work and merit pays?


Look at all the appointments the president has made so far, over 90% from the north. They are telling us they are based on merit. My question is how comes, when it comes to appointment, they are hiding under merit to appoint only their own, but when it comes to exams and admission into Federal institutions, they bring in Federal character. I'm an advocate of merit, hardwork, transparency, objectivity and emperical selection process. That way you encourage everybody to work hard for whatever he/she wants. After all, the Bible says, "he who does not work, let him not eat". It's against natural and spiritual justice and principle to take from those who work and give to those who don't work. That in itself is the root of corruption Nigeria. I support the President's fight against corruption.

I advocate the enthronement of merit and objectivity in our national life. So, Mr. President, if you are serious about your anti-corruption mantra, If you are serious about this your new "merit" policy, let's go back to the basis. Start by eliminating all forms of quota system and federal character in the admission process into Unity schools, Federal universities and recruitment/
employment into all federal civil service, agencies, parastatals and let's see who will be qualified. That's my humble submission.
