PoliticsLagos To Bectome Nigeria 2nd Capital Will Asume Abuja Status With A Minister by Balkan(op): 10:08pm On Aug 18, 2016
Rumour has it that National assembly is planning to make Lagos 2nd Nigeria capital. A minister will be appointed instead of a governor based on the federal government huge investment in it.

An undisclosed source said that the plan is already underway. My question is will be nice and fair to all?
Your opinion please.

Show us the Picture of Yoruba states and not Lagos. Lagos is the Capital of Nigeria (former) built by the Igbos and
FG. The properties you are showing are owned by foreigners firms and Igbos. I will like you to bring picture of Osun, Eketi, Ibadan,
where you don't have Igbo presence,

PoliticsRe: "Pls Help NEPA Wants To Kill Us With Light" Kindly Read With Details. by Balkan(m): 7:29pm On Aug 17, 2016
Zikavirus:
Nepa has neveer seized light for the past six days now.
Yes! for the past six days now the neigbouring villas of: Oworoshoki, Ifako and Gbagada etc, starting from on Saturday we haue had Light Un-epileptically (me sef go school now) .
They only take the light to bring it back Afta like 30 mins.
The matter here is that d light has been 2 much, and that gives us cause for worry.
.....
.............

PLS WAT SHULD WE DO??
Guy relax, My house in Magodo, has for over one week now has steady light, I became worried.
I use prepaid metre so I had to go and recharge this morning because I spend N2000 only every 3 months. I called one of the
PHCN staff aside asked him what has gone wrong that I have been having steady light over seven days now that I hope no problemm

The guy now told me that a major distribution cable servicing some areas around Mowe and Ibafo area fell down and PHCN has not
been able to erect it back so they decided to distribute the light to Magodo, Ketu and Gbagada axis. So I was not disappointed
with his statement. I was very sure something was wrong.

I dont know if I should fastt and pray for that cable not to be fixed

That Segun is two old for all I care. 40yrs. And you want to compete with a teenager. And am very sure it's an official age. I will not be surprised to see the same guy in Tokyo. He would have been better a coach.

Nigeria is a funny country. I would not surprised to hear that there younger people who are better than this old man. But they will drop them due to tribalism or something else.

Politics#istandwithyouths# A Must Read. Nigeria Is Finished Time For Revolution by Balkan(op): 11:54am On Jul 09, 2016
THIS IS ASSESSMENT ON AN INSTITUTION WITH ALL POLITICAL PARTIES. SO NOT A DISCUSSION ON ANY POLITICAL PARTY.

21 senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.
The current senators who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun.
The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.

Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN).

In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.

In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.

It is alleged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.

This is the reality for all the 21 ex governors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.

NOW I ASK:
How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?

As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?

IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......

Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.
Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances.

Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria.The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue To Molest us.

Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US president or 9times the salary of US congressm
