Politics › Re: Why Open Drainages In Nigeria Roads? by Catapault: 2:42am On Feb 12, 2024
Klinee:
I do ask question about the road construction companies in Nigeria building open drainages in Nigeria city centers that is densely populated.
There is virtually no advantage in open drainages rather than being a deeth trap for residents.
What are their reasons, why do they chose to build open instead of closed one?
I need an answer to this.
The disadvantage of open drainages is unquantifiable;
it has causes accident leading to lost of many souls and people sustaining lifetime deformity.
it is a breeding zone for mosquitoes which causes malaria fever.
It creates an avenue for people to dump refuse and dirty, which defaces the ecstatic view of Nigeria cities and health implications involved.
Open drainages can clog and block easily because sand can fill in easily because of its widely opened surface area.
It enhanced the growth and germination of grasses because it's directly opened to sunlight which enable photosynthesis, also leading to total blockage of the drainage.
The reason is the population don't know any better, and/or don't care about it, and therefore there's no pressure on the govt to build the roads right, ie with covered drains and pedestrian sidewalks as is the norm around the world.

I mean, you come on this forum and you actually see people PRAISING their state govt for building a road with ''drainages'', ie open gutters.

They don't know any better. They think that's the way to build.

They don't even know they are entitled to pedestrian sidewalks on EVERY road including inner city roads.

Ivory Coast as a country looks more organized than Nigeria.

Their stadium is clean and orderly unlike Nigeria where mopols will be controlling d crowd with AK-47
They are only 29 million people which is equivalent to Kano and Lagos state combined population.

Why shouldn't they be organized?

Abegi.

If they had 240 million people like us, they wouldn't look so cute, trust me.

By the way, Nigeria has hosted major competitions, including the FIFA Under 20 World Cup and AFCON, and we always present top-notch facilities. If you don't know, ask your elders.

Dsimmer:
Dunno. Although I believe the combination of Onyedika and Aribo midfield could have controlled that game. Aribo had a good outing in the last afcon for example. Both Onyedika and Aribo are good at providing passing options for the defence, aside from Aribo being energetic and ball carrier when needed.

For example, Aribo in just 5 minutes made 10 passes which is half of Iwobi's 23 passes in 78 minutes while Onyeka made 12 passes in 86 minutes. Imagine if he was on the pitch for longer, he would have at least taken control of the possession away from ivory coast. As I said, He had a good outing as a CM in the last afcon. With him and Onyedika who's also adept at providing option for the defence, Nigeria could have controlled the match.
I wish Eberechi Eze had chosen Nigeria instead of England. cool

That midfield was crying out for Eberechi Eze.

He was supposed to be our new Jay Jay.

He even trained with the team a couple of times in the past.

Oh well... undecided

Roughly 70,000 Americans are shot dead each year by their fellow Americans.

Equivalent to 1,000 Boko Haram groups operating all at once.

Americans don't see the solution as ''Let's break up the country, let everybody answer his father's name'', like you bush, ignorant, tribalistic illiterates desperate to become the next South Sudan, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Burkina Faso western-aid dependent banana republic out of sheer ethnic hatred for your fellow African.

It wasn't really a defensive game, especially with a 3- man attack but the point was there was nothing happening in Nigeria midfield to feed the attack. It was mostly the wingbacks which often support the attackers since the beginning of the tournament but this time around, the wingbacks had a lot on their hands, considering Ivory midfielderrs dominated lots of possession and controlled the play while constantly freeing their attackers who kept worrying Nigeria's defence whereas Nigeria midfield couldn't do anything to offer both the attack and the defence.

It was a good outing overall. I didn't even expect anything from the eagles after they lost to Guinea just before the beginning of the tournament.
Why can't we find another JAY JAY OKOCHA for goodness sake in this country?

Even a HALF Jay Jay talent?

SURELY they must exist.

We have to ACTIVELY SOURCE, SUPPORT, and NURTURE ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS from the Nigerian league, and help get them to the next level where they can man the Eagles midfield.

We are too big to be depending on Alex Iwobi and Joe Aribo!

The Peseiro formula got us to the final of the AFCON.

But there was always this nagging doubt in my mind about how far his Park The Bus tactic will get them.

I always felt they were vulnerable playing so deep, and inviting the opposition to come at them.

Such a system can get you far and win you SOME games.

But can it win you the African title? I doubt it.

This cannot be the system that DEFINES your game.

You must be able to ditch it when necessary and be brave enough to go for all-out attack, especially after an equaliser by the other side.

This is AFCON. You MUST know how to take the game to the opponent.

The problem is it is not so easy to transition to that way of playing when you've spent so many hours of the tournament playing defensively.

I think Peseiro needs to go.

He did up to his Mourinho-esque limit.

I think we should give the job to Emmanuel Amunike.

I am talking about people that played, Chukwueze was on the bench... because even Ahmed Musa who was on the bench played better than Chukwueze. I think Chukwueze is aggrieved about something, because I know rhe guy haa quality.
Chukwueze cannot dribble African defenders the way he does those white boys in Europe.

That's his main problem.

All those his dribbling moves he does in Europe do not trouble African players, who played on the street as kids like him.

You can't just sere them anyhow.

Iwobi was irritating.

It's understandable to defend a 1 goal lead. But 1-1? Still packing the bus and using 5 man defense?

Poor midfield and starving the attackers.

A final like this should have been confrontational from start to finish. Every single thing done or undone affected the final result.
That's the fault of the coach, not Iwobi

Politics › Re: Why Blame Tinubu For Inflation When Obi Vowed To End Subsidy “On Day One”? by Catapault(op):
OfoIgbo:
Stop lying. Obi never said that.

Obi always said that subsidy will be ended once measures are in place to cushion the effect.

Obi talked about granting licenses to modular refineries and people who're currently refining crude oil illegally.
He said those licenses will only be granted on the bases that those people will be selling their refined products in naira, thus saving Nigerians from being exposed to the strength of the dollar.

Your propaganda will not wash. We know the truth
Oga you called me a liar.

Ok, let me prove you wrong.

Obi Vows to Remove Fuel Subsidy First Day in Office if Elected President

Business Post NG

08-January-2023

Candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25, 2023, presidential election, Mr Peter Obi, has promised to yank off fuel subsidy from his first day in office if he wins the exercise.

Mr Obi made this disclosure at the Town Hall meeting organised by Channels Television on Sunday, monitored by Business Post.

The former Governor of Anambra State was at the event with his running mate, Mr Yusuf Datti-Ahmed, who broke down in tears while condemning attacks on his family by the opposition.

Mr Obi, who described the petrol subsidy as an organised crime, stressed that he would not waste any time removing the subsidy because it is useless.

“It is only in Nigeria the government pays like N6 trillion to N7 trillion for fuel subsidy and budgets about N4.5 trillion to education, health and capital projects; this is crazy,” the Labour Party flagbearer said.

“From my first day in office, I will remove subsidy,” he added, noting that the volume of petrol the government says the country currently consumes is inflated.

This is not the first time Mr Obi has promised to remove the petrol subsidies if elected as the next President of Nigeria.

While addressing the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) at a private sector economic forum last year, he said the funds saved from the removal of subsidy would be invested in critical sectors of the economy.

“Subsidy is an organised crime; 50 per cent of it is corruption. So, it must be removed, after which we will focus on supporting the private sector’s participation in local refining and invest the subsidy funds in more critical sectors like health and education,” he said.

https://businesspost.ng/economy/obi-vows-to-remove-fuel-subsidy-first-day-in-office-if-elected-president/

………..

So, NOTHING about “cushioning the effects”, or “removing it in phases”, or “putting in place measures to reduce the impact of the subsidy removal” and other BARE-FACED LIES grin told by the Obidients to exculpate him.

So it is really DISHONEST to sit there blaming Tinubu for high prices when the EXACT SAME GADDEM THING WOULD BE HAPPENING with Peter Obi as president.

And this same gathering of jobless, sociopathic boot lickers, professional malcontents, and ethnic chauvinists, would have been singing to high heavens about the “necessity” of the current situation.

Shameless degenerates!

Yes, you're missing something big. One reason people are abusing Tinubu is that he campaigned vigorously against subsidy removal during Goodluck Jonathan's era. That's hypocrisy.
Is he not allowed to change his mind on policy direction of the country based on new realities or better knowledge/information?

Is he a robot?

Or a zombie?

What sort of country is this?
