[s]Oga, if the word restructuring is such a threat to your psyche, just settle down.
It is simply a 'process' by which people sit down and negotiate solutions to intractable or long running problems that have refused to be solved. It draws responsibility closer to the people and gives the people more power to hold those with the responsibility culpable.

Clearly there is an infrastructural challenge in Nigeria that the primary authorities cannot or have not handled since independence.
Is it a cardinal sin to sit down and say for example, states take these roads and handle them, maintain them and we cede a percentage of Nigeria's earnings to assist you, or increase your allocations, or we give you the whole budget of the Federal Ministry of Works and then shut down that miserable Ministry for good..

Or if you cannot give them additional funds you permit them to raise capital or commercialise these facilities.
This highway (and by the way Calabar is the only capital city in Nigeria served by a single lane highway even though it was long ago the defacto capital of the Niger area.
Yet, it is serves the whole of the South-South, the South-East and North-Central from the ports and free trade zone, cement coming from Unicem and granite from Akamkpa. Thousands of heavy duty vehicles ply that one lane road every week all the way to Bayelsa, Onitsha, Ebonyi and beyond.

If the owners of the road, the Federal government cannot recognise the huge potentials of that viability they should let it go, simple. No sentiment.

I do not know the extent of Julius Bergers work since it is a year and a half since I last ventured there but at that time it was abandoned and disputed between government institutions and since I found the sea route more viable I simply fly into Uyo, motor down to Oron and sea cross to Calabar.

And here you talk about Representatives as if they have budgets to fix roads or are able to speak up in a parliament that is pro Executive.[/s]

Keep blaming FG

No wonder your Governors, Reps, Senators, NDDC etc take you for granted

Reference:
Who owns that road, simple.
Answer that and stop running around.
If the Federal government cannot fix it or be held accountable they should just give it to the state, privatise it or give it to the NDDC or whatever. That is the restructuring ambit of Nigeria's infrastructure we talk about.
Let the people know who they should hold accountable, period.
Ten people cannot lay claim to a property and you expect it to be in shape.
With power comes responsibility.
Stop trying to peddle sentiment.

This guy's comprehension remains your main challenge.

If FG fails call your representative and leaders to do the needful, do stay in your huts and be shouting FG, FG, this is my point.
to your question, FG owns that road, and work began on its repairs in March 2021.

The traffic there is as a result of the construction works. That's how julus Berger works, cause traffic, scatter everywhere, though they end up with good works.

Sit there and be shouting restructuring as if it will automatically make your sleeping leaders responsibe.

Reference:
Then why not simply restructure so that state governments are in charge of all highways border to border.
Is that so difficult to understand.
These roads are not being done because no one is taking responsibility.
Can you tell me who is in charge of that road.
If by your so called assertion the state government owns it, fine, if the NDDC owns it fine, someone is responsible.
All we ask for is clarity by the Constitution of who the people should hold responsible for its poor state or who they will pay taxes and levies to to get it sorted out, period.

And then you cannot help but demonstrate the usual sentimental parochialism by "They had the Presidency for 6 years".
Can you tell me how many years this government this 'Federal, Federal, Federal government' has spent in power. The government that replaced the bad one of the past.??

What trash are you talking bout?

Do you know what restructuring is all about? Does restructuring automatically make your leaders responsible?

You are misplacing your priority and you do not seem to understand my point at all?

Hold your leaders responsible simple.
Whether regional, local, or state government. Not everything is FG.

If FG is failing hold your leaders responsible to ensure FG does the right thing.

OKPANAMboy:
I remember when Aphonjas were boasting on how potent their juju can be, how they can leave Nigeria if they are ready, how they fought and won the Fulanis, how they own the unity of Nigeria and can break up when they desire, how they fought DSS officers that came earlier to arrest Igboho and how they over hyped their low budget US Marine, Amotokun.

They called Nnamdi Kanu a fugitive that ran away leaving his people and also called him a coward.

They called Igbos chest beaters.

Now, who's the chest beaters?
Who's a fugitive?

Another Benin Republic loading.....
Fear-fear.

Chest beaters again, Polie is showing force, Yoruba nation miscreants still want to protest but you still go-ahead to call them names.

From Ojokwu to Kanu, all your leaders are cowards always running when the kitchen gets hot.

Tell me the region that has led the most virulent protest in Nigeria? Tell me those who have been at the forefront.

i am not talking about the guerilla fighter who will run at the sight of military

KillMNKnow:
I'm not against Tinubu... Hell I will even vote him if he wins the APC primary election, but I prefer Osibanjo.

Nobody is asking you whether you like Tinubu or not, do not let any politician live freely in your head

KillMNKnow:
Tinubu and his boys desperately want the presidency and some of their brothers trying to put sand inside their Gari..

Meanwhile Buni and co are 500 steps ahead.

You dream and see Tinubu in your dreams, without Tinubu I bet you have no life to live.

letristian:
I plied that road in earlier this year, I felt so bad that I would have taken medication. How can a State that produces much revenue via oil have such lengthy kilometres of bad roads. But those in the North are super dual carriage nylon built

And somebody wants us to be united in conditions of suffering and smiling.

E really choke!

Again blame the North for the failure of your leadership

You have monthly allocation + derivation fund + NDDC, yet bad roads everywhere, but the north and probably Tinubu is your problem.

When will you ever call the leadership of your region to accountability.

They had Presidency for 6 years, what did they do

The suspects are Emmanuel Ifeanyichukwu Paul m aged 22 years is a fulani herdsman

The earlier we realized that there are criminals amongst us, the better.

kenzysmith:
[s][/s]try dey get small sense na

What sense do you have aside abuses

HWA, politico-gospel singer

Sowore is just being stupid, he knows what he is doing.

Nigerian Army has lost a lot of men in its battle against the bandit, so many successes have also been recorded. You cannot take an isolated case to judge all.

when GEJ was giving contracts to militants, where wa Sowore,

Sowore don't worry, another grant is loading.

Frontail:


Yoruba and Hausas too like Igbo Kpekus

Ibos will go after anybody once there is money.

Gold diggers they are

Ginomel:
Check what you unfortunately said of him, how is it different from the bandit on video that was boasting about killing soldiers in the presence of a policeman
The useless regional DSS should deploy their arsenal and arrest him too.

Are you pretending that you don't know the truth.

Who is the bandit, what is his name, bring your fact and pass it to DSS.

All criminals must be brought to book.

Kanu the terrorist and all criminals must be brought to book

Elock1:
Don't try to be smart young man, they've been incessant killing by fulani Bandits with Video evidence but no one has been arrested. If they can arrest MNK without any tangible evidence why not go after boko haram and Bandits that have colonies all around Nigeria?

You know what, you and I know that you are just being mischievous with the truth.

And further talking you is waste of my time. Good day

Yes but no evidence against Kanu right? Smart guy.

Tell me who the self-acclaimed leader of the bandits is, and he will b rounded up.

Elock1:
exactly what you should tell yourself.. It was you who called him a terrorist not me.

Why not allow the court to do their work.

Okay, lets agree too that there are no bandits or boo haram until the courts say so

Elock1:
hahaha you screaming that someone is a terrorist doesn't really make him one.. Get that into your skull as well.

And I wonder if you can't hold a discussion without trying to sound insulting.

Let him go to court and prove that he is not a terrorist.

It is not for you or NL to decide

KAHBOOM:
[s]Law works?

The law is blind so u must prove ur case against an accused.

He might not really be the one broadcasting, His twitter and other social media account might be hacked to set him up.[/s]

Let him go and say that in court.

Account hacked for over 3 years?

Guy how old are you sef? You are a complte joke. bye

Elock1:
OK so he is important now abi?

Let's not start an argument about if he is a terrorist or not, but at least you agree he is important.

All terrorists and criminals are important to the law enforcers and any serious government.

Get that into your skull.

Kanu is a terrorist.

KAHBOOM:
Incite?
Can u Prove he killed those security agents..Can u prove he give them gunz and money to hurt someone.
Abi na im radio broadcast be una proof?

Are you for real? ? Are you living in denail?

Even Kanu will not talk like this.

So his broadcast is no proof?

Abeg it's too early for this kind of stupid talk, you do not know how the law works at all.

OKPANAMboy:
LOL

Talking of beating chest? Like seriously?
Who beats chest more than Yorubas?

hahahahhaha, even you yourself know that you are lying.

Igbos are known from time immemorial as chest beaters, always mouth, yet they cant stand the heat in the kitchen.

Ojukwu ran away, Kanu ran away only to be arrsred like a common thief

Elock1:
yes he is arrogant and yes he is important.

If you think otherwise.. Who talks about you like this even in your street

Terrorists are important to security agencies, and must be dealt with decisively.

Osama was important and US deployed all resources to take him down

Penguin2:
Kenya is a shithole!

It’s president has everything in common with Buhari; from election rigging to human rights abuses.

But handing over a British citizen with the speed of light would be their greatest mistake.

lalalal you guys are clowns, senseless everytime

Premiumwriter2:
I thought freedom of association was a fundamental human right?

We don't want Nigeria again

There is not freedom of being a terror, you did the act, you serve the term.

KAHBOOM:
Hmmmm

Kenya EFFD up

Had it been they arrested a Muslim and handed them over to fellow Muslims it will be understandable.

But u arrested ur fellow oppressed black Christian brother fighting against injustice and oppression and handed him over to an oppressive, Islamic terrorist govt,its unforgivable.

If its kenya,,then Elumelu and the vp's igbo inlaw should be among the suspect in this case..Because of Elumelus influence in east Africa and Kenya?Could they be among the Igbo's that sold him out?

Kanu is a terrorist, the moment he jumped bail, formed an illegal security outfit and incite for the killing of security agents, he confirmed he is a terrorist and will be treated as such

Mossadd:
Does that mean Nigeria govt just kidnapped kanu in Kenya and Kenya securities can't kill those useless Nigeria securities that carry out the abduction

You are actually the useless one.

For inciting the killing of law enforcers, you are no different from the terrorist Kanu

festacman:
Go beyond what you see. Alex is a mere PROXY for Dr. Maduka to meet INEC July 1 deadline. At appropriate time, Alex will step down and Dr. Maduka will take over and run for governorship on his terms using Accord Party as platform just like Sen Ifeanyi Uba does on YPP platform.

Sense will not kill you.

Good move. Not too young to run

I wish him the best.

But this paragraph made me laugh.

witnessed by thousands of party chieftains, members and the media

From the picture, dem no even reach 100. Yet you are claiming 1000s.

All the best sha.

Rozcol:
Is there any difference between a Nigerian police and armed robbers?

Next time you have a case, go and call the armed robbers.

Confusion everywhere in Anambra

At last count, we have 4 APGA candidates, the ruling party faaaa.

Shows you the party was never united.

If this was PDP, APC, or any opposition party in Anambra, I can understand.

What kind of politics do we call this now,
if SW we would say amala politics,
North, we would say BH politics.

Is this ipobic, biafra or ESN kind of politics

Confusion in Biafra Republic.
