Fayose's anti-$2b loan stance is a child's play compared to how APC almost pulled down Nigeria in their quest for the presidency. For those who are short in memory, pls consider the following;

1. APC instructed legislators elected under their party to block Jonathan's $1b loan request to fight Boko haram.

2. APC governors vehemently opposed Jonathan's ingenuity to save for rainy days by going as far as the Supreme Court to stop the ECA.

3. APC openly opposed designation of Boko haram as a terrorist organisation. That singular action embolden the insurgents to wreck more havoc. It was a height of sabotage any opposition party could unleash on a nation it planned to rule.

4. APC in connivance with Jacob Zuma who's a staunch ally of Tinubu ensured Nigeria's quest to procure arms from South Africa through black market (having been frustrated by the West through official route) was truncated.

5. Still loading... more to come.

Acidosis:
No, I can't compare both

One has spent about 2 years, the other has spent 6 years in office.

IVORY2009:
Good! And you think the yoruoba's would choose him ahead of Fayose? On a good day, free n fair!

Don't mind them. Bruv, any objective person knows that Aregbesola started well and meant well for Osun. He was just overwhelmed by the reality of how Osun is a very poor civil servant State , that probably should not have been created, which got only drastically poorer when oil price crashed. Aregbe is an intelligent man aware of the problems but events, beyond his control, overtook his good intentions. For example, Aregbesola played no part in making Osun and many other Nigerian States civil servant enclaves where the Nigerian government, aberrantly, is the biggest employer of labour. In many productive and successful nations of the world it is the SME (small to medium enterprise sector) that is the biggest employer of labour. Aregbe came in and tried to change this sad scenario. He even personally tried a socio-capitalist model of involving the Osun government in directly enabling the growth of the SME sector and we saw this with the example of the setting up of the Omoluabi garment factory.

http://osun.gov.ng/gallery/commissioning-of-omoluabi-garment-factory/

Osun , despite Aregbe's lofty plans, got into trouble when oil plans crashed to embarrass a Governor who had borrowed funds and leveraged aggressive development plans on the ability of the State to keep servicing her recurrent expenditure in the short term and before the state became more self-financing from all the efforts to diverse her economy, generate more IGR for Osun and make her less dependent on FG allocation. This is not a bad plan at all and Aregbe cannot be blamed for a crash in oil prices stemming from unpredictable events that had nothing to do with Nigeria.

Yet Nigerians, with a large population of bitter, religiously intolerant and ethnocentric folks who use everything as an opportunity to indulge their prejudice against ethnic groups they hate, chose to make this a Yoruba, APC and Moslem problem. Now the reality is manifesting which is that no Nigerian State will be sparred a salary crisis if oil price continue to be very low. Since many Nigerians choose to always play the tribal card and laugh at the misfortune of others , instead of learn from it, then problems will show up at their door they will not see coming because they were too busy laughing at "Yoloba" and "ab0ki" over things like salary woes without realising that in the current Nigeria, with the dire state of affairs, all Nigerian States, despite what braggart Governors and ethnocentric 'Voltrons' are saying, are only weeks or months away from debilitating bankruptcy that will see them struggle to pay salaries.

I remember the fuel subsidy removal crisis under GEJ when the likes of Femi Falana organised protest to say it is wrong for Nigerians, when their nation is one of the biggest producer of crude oil in the world, to pay exorbitant amount for PMS (premium motor spirit) when economically more stable and successful nations like Saudi Arabia ensured their citizens benefited from the crude oil endowment of their nation through low pump price for refined oil and good infrastructural development. It was mainly our brothers from the SE, and posters can check the archives, who bragged on Nairaland that " parasite yolobas and Ab0kis" are lazy and poor and that they were prepared to pay any price charged for oil as they were "independent rich folks who do not need the government for anything". An opportunity for a people to unite against cruel and corrupt leaders , whether Igbo or Yoruba, who take everything and give the people nothing got turned into an egotistic bragfest of "we are better and richer than you" , because of ethnic bigotry, when the simple point of the protests was that the Nigerian government is shafting us all in comparison to how other major oil producing nations treat their people.

Nigerians are a people who always choose to make what is simple very difficult. We will then have to learn the hard way and only when trouble shows up at our own door.

FG is cheating the states by exchanging the foreign earning at N 199 per dollar and shearing to states while actually it is upto N320 in reality.

If FG comes down to reality, the amount of allocation sheared in Naira will multiple by 3 at least states can pay salary.

Infact NLC should move for that because price or thing has gone up twice or thrice in reality whiles salaries are constant or even unpaid. Eg a bag of rice formerly N 7000 to N 8,500 is now N 16,000...Fuel about N 250 at filling station cause of poor forex policy, investor shy away, IGR depleting, both FG and state economy in mess.

For people saying vote for change, Sylva APC collected 2 straight bonds of N50billion each (total of 100 bil), major reason was to clear wage bill including salary...he never paid a dine. Go and study is EFCC charges it is an open secret in Bayelsa. Dickson inherited it and has been paying it will finish by 2018.

I don't hold brief for any politician but I was receiving my salary promptly and even 40K extra allowance monthly from the overhead cost, where I work, until the economy of the country nose dived.

If the data available is true, Bayelsa monthly wage bill is N4.6 billion, the state has many social welfare interventions b4 virtually all families in Bayelsa get something from the state govt. monthly either direct or indirect, ghost workers did not help matters too.

Last allocation was less than N 2billon then how can he pay wage bill of N 4.6 bill monthly. No company here...pure water used here was brought from Delta State b4. Terrain and oil exploration has really affected the lands and waters, ppl are over dependent on govt.

Now U complain of fuel cue, but in Bayelsa ppl live in creek that U take 3.5 hours on flying boat to connect after getting your fuel in Yenagoa.

Quakertellicus1:
I won't blame the Bayelsans refusal of APC for their predicament. Rather, the fact is, oil prices have dropped ,meaning that states no longer have the fat allowances from Abuja....so many states are broke now.

I guess that many states never did get creative with funding at all. And let's be frank...state civil services are bloated with a lot of unnecessary staff.

For Bayelsa to survive....high taxes, harshness on corruption and sacking excess civil servants might be the way forward.

OKKO:
I work in the sate, I was paid my January salary last week. Govt. is owing me 2 months not 5. However, lack of economic direction by FG has worsen the situation. Devalue Naira so that states get more allocation and pay staff. I have been parking in fuel cue since 3 days now. The line never reach me.

Olukologia:
I guess de governors are now using IGR. Because those excess allocation isn't coming anymore. Even de IGR isn't up to anything. God help them o

chukwudi44:
Saraki has not been charged with any act of looting.He is only been charged with a politically motivated charge of false declaration of assets.Besides people like you defended Buhari when he forged WAEC certificates to become president so please you don't have any high moral grounds above me.You are only pissed because Saraki messed up the APC plans of chosing the senate president.

I am yet to hear you condemn corrupt APC ministers like Fashola and Amaechi who have been clearly seen to have soiled their hands

minimal salting helps to stun the fish during evisceration. it is not advisable to salt heavily due to health hazards as well as pushing away HBP stroke as well as old patients out of your customer base. reach us on 09093267329

dustydee:
You mean people eat dry fish without cooing it? Wow. Maybe oven dried but I prefer smoked fish to dried fish because of the cooking process involved.
During my undergrad, the agric department had solar dryers with dried smelly fish in them. That put me off dried fish till now.

@OP
Here's my humble suggestion based on my very little experience.

Make it heavily salted then advice buyers to soak before using to prepare meals. This would probably preserve for a longer time as fishes are quite very perishable.

I've bought a few outside the shores. And this was how it was being sold.

Goodluck!

Vixen101:
Hello

how long are the fishes kept in those packs before being sold off?

asorocker:
Why yorubas are so hell bent on having this project included in the budget is really surprising why are they crying more than the South South and south east.

Even the South East and Niger delta who are supposed to benefit from the project are not batting an eyelid.

Could this project be the Savior of south west or east bikonu.

Amitex:
To all those shouting NASS this and that, let us wait for their reply. As for me, we do not need a coastal rail to be financed by concession. That means that the Chinese would build, operate and transfer the project, just like Lekki concession projects. If you understand what that means.

Questions to ask are:

Why not develop any two of Calabar, Warri and Onne or any other seaport with this fund? That would decongest Lagos ports and be of better benefits to SS & SE, if you love the people so much. Unless we are saying that SS & SE would perpetually be dependent on Lagos for import and export.

Why rail, to serve what purpose? To move goods from Lagos to the SS and SE? Why not complete the second Niger bridge instead?

Why are you concessioning only the Calabar-Lagos rail of all rail lines in Nigeria? Meaning, the cost would be recouped from users who incidentally would be SS and SE.

We should reason things before castigating others. have we even heard from NASS??

So technically Nigerians should start traveling to buy fuel in minna.
This government is not sensitive to the Masses plight at all.
