Its laudable, but do we realise governance is not just embarking on capital projects, creating white elephants that waste public funds.

Do we realise how much it will cost to maintain those facilities with all the air-conditioning and whatnot.

Do we realise pupils will probably not appreciate the a/c or majestic furnishing?

Do we realise, 3 more schools could have been built instead 1.

Do we consider the funds expended on the project, was it well managed?

Do realise apart from it aesthetic value, it offers no real value if there are no teachers or the teachers are not well paid?

Do we stop and question its value to the economy and the general well being of the poor in the state.

These questions are not for Rivers alone, but for every other state that commisions projects with no real value..

Ekiti did bridge while owing workers salaries, how many cars are there in Ekiti?

Governor Mimiko of Ondo built waterfall, do akure people have pipe borne water?
He even built a dome? For what? So that hungry civil servants can do proper burial ceremonies?

Embarking on capital projects is a sure way to siphon public funds and appease political cronies.

Stop waste.

Must we post negative comments?
The main cause of backwardness in this country is self-righteousness and hypocrisy, most commenters secretly wish they could be that courageous, except their liver fail them.

Smh...

Our politicians are like serial killers, except they kill a lot of people at once, and put others in a bondage of poverty.

Lol,
Can you point out the lie?

BeingFrank:
The kdnapper deserves whatever happened to him, bt fulani heardsmen killing and maiming at will, should be treated same and equally celebrated. Dnt u think so?

yea
Thats why i said PMB is a sort of racist.

BeingFrank:
Note; i'm not supporting the kidnappers at all, but there are thousands of fulani or muslims murderers who killed and are killing innocent souls still roaming the street without even a finger being pointed at them. When last did u hear of a northern criminal being arrested, made to feel the rout of the law or killed for the crimes they committed. Or are u going to quote me wrong by the fact that the same govt. that kill non-northern criminals, do send the military to protect a gang of murders called fulani heardsmen, even during their very evil act? The message here, is that we should intensify our voices against this so called dual ideology or very partial system of governance. Anyone who breaks the law, must be punished by the law, even though the president is from ur village.

His own was even too much....
Was feeling like untouchable.

Everything naa tactics....
Same thing happened to Kanu,
Where arrogance entered their heads and they felt they could do anything and get away with it, untill the law struck unexpectedly.

These people were being paid by GEJ, thats why everything was quiet.
PMB is just racially sensitive, fulani herdmen should have been dealt with now.

I know shes wrong for blocking the road...

But Nigerians too fear politicians....

And your monkier is "jesusulovesyou"?

GuidoVanRossum:
The ultra modern markets actually make the state look neat. You don't use them so you won't know the value. Ask those who sell in the market and they will tell you they enjoy using them.

The dome is another project that you might not like, but if you find such edifice in other states or even nation you will hail it as development.
.

I am not saying Mr . Mimiko was a bad governor.
But why build an edifice when you are owing civil servants salary?

Ultra modern marketsbare good, but at what cost to the market men and women?
Was the allocation of spaces properly handled?
Are you privy to the details of sale or lease of these stalls?

Sometimes, some some projects just bring hardship to the people, if you dig deeper you find out market women pay huge sums.

Whats is even ultramodern in stalls and lockup shops?
have u ever been really hungry and noticed a beautiful market?
Even in the uk, markets are in dermacated areas, grounds covered with asphalts and stalls built, easy....
You shoukdnt even compare Ondo and Osun, because of the available manpower and resources available to them.

Please undertand my point, I am not against governmental policies, but am against wasteful spending, against elitist project that have little or no effect on the people.
Against aesthetics that can't reduce hunger, have u ever been really hungry and noticed a beautiful market?

GuidoVanRossum:
Mimiko did wonderfully well across all sector.
Health
Education
Agriculture
Works
Infrastructures.
It's just painful that some of his legacies are gradually dying in this current government.

Maybe he did,
And maybe he didn't.

But can you explain the essense of an expensive events center, when you cant pay salaries.

Or better still how will having waterfalls benefit the state apart from its aesthetic value, it would have been better to build a statue, and and reduce recurrent expenditure.

Maybe agriculture was good, but some other things dont make sense, like ultramodern markets? What's ultramodern about stalls and lockup shops.
Infact govs squandared resources, I remember when mimiko first came in, and was demolishing roads and side walks agagu built, just to plant flowers?
Which sane person will do that?


The point am trying to make is to invest in the future, invest in Education, agriculture, infrastructure (not event centers ).
Not employing more civil servants, not building markets that will be selling goods imported from Lagos.

BenzEne1:
How many times will we tell you folks that the oil is not for Niger Delta. It is Nigeria's oil dude. So they do have to depend on it. Only osun had allocation in millions you know, all these ND states had billions as allocation. Aregbesola is really trying. I'm a witness to the educational.revolution. It is an eye opener. Stop hating.

Dude that guy is ignorant.
Why dont they use the oil allocation to improve N.D states

Might look like a mistake now, but in the future, everyone is sure to praise the argebsola.

Instead if expending more than 80% of revenue on recurrent expenditure, the man chose to build schools and roads....thats thinking ahead.

Better than govs building statues e.g okorocah.
Aerodome event centers; mimiko
Flyover when there is no traffic; fayose
And a lot of elephant projects that add no meanings to the lifes of citizens.

sureheaven:
It's a known fact, even OBJ the father of election rigger and malpractice tried it and failed serially. Secondus, is only day dreaming and making mouth. Lagos is APC, Tinubu had pocketed the region and the lagosians destiny while they were asleep long ago.

Funny thing is no other state compares to Lagos that has been ruled by apc since 1999.

The person dat d this model needs to be flooged.
Or maybe they paid the artist peanuts or didnt even pay at all...

I DONT TRUST NIGERIANS

Why una dey blurr boobs picture.

Shebi she was d one that bared it, and its culture...
Please unblurr the pic.
Thanl you.

No proof.

Arant nonsense.

Person wey dey borrow with salary of 1million.
And person wey dey save with salary of 200k..

Who is the actual looter?

Dem go spoil that thing

FreddyKruger:
Gov. Ambode that was probably in primary school when the vegetable Presidiot Buhari from Fulani extraction was military president has performed excellently and satisfactorily better than the daura presidiot could ever achieve in his entire lifetime. It gets clearer and clearer everyday that Buhari is a pestilential curse and a bad omen for Nigeria.

Funny thing is... you cant even say this infront of Buhari.

Many of you will come online and be ranting, while in real life, you are as timid as a mouse.
