they should stop showing us local government allocation because no state in the federation actually gives those money to it local government.

they usually end up in state account and disbursed arbitrarily.
the more reason the state governors don't like to conduct local government election but prefer to install their cronies as "caretaker" committee

the issue of autonomy for LGAs should be revisited ASAP

aaronson:
Of what use is this degree when Nigerians don't appreciate written songs but random nonsense freestyle on a fast beat, Nigerians don't care about lyrics they just want to dance to anything with fast beat.


Ever since you have been listening to Iyanya, can you conclude he makes sense in his songs with lyrics like "From the couch to bed from the bed to the bedroom".

not every Nigerian though.
there are still millions of nigerians who still appreciate good old masterpiece of creative song writers like Timi,Dare alade, Bez, Tuface,Cobbams, and the likes.. and with time they will become more popular as the so called "jollof" music has not "staying power"

Dollyak:
This is not surprising when you look at the fact. Lagos for instance should be an investment magnet if it wasn't for politics.
I have never seen any major city that gives away more than 95% of its earnings to the federal government like Lagos.
Until Nigeria practice fiscal federalism there will never be progress.
The problem is as much the citizens as the leaders.

but seriously, what you posited doesnt tally with the topic of discussion

every woman, including the one on this forum that is blaming their wives, wants to have her own "estate"

women like to make sure their home come first before any other thing, twins or no twins.
so like the writer said.. the okoyes should have prepared for this.

these omo onile issue is getting out of hands.
a serious government should be doing something about it. it is just the height of lawlessness

mercylicious:
Its called Cameron zinc.
I will not build a structure as urs and roof with Cameron zinc. Its out of fashion.
You would have used aluminium even if its not stepped. In ten years time, you may be thinking of reroofing the house.

Congrats . its not easy. U are now invited to the landlords meeting.

yea..you are right wanted to go for aluminum, but the cheapest I saw was also cameroun which is lesser quality than the zinc.

like I said, have garnered alot of experience from this that will make another project far hassle-free

thanks

Ratello:
This Administration is a huge joke.....even from the pix one can tell that Fashola the scammer is clueless about how power works just take a look at how he is staring at the equipment...... So so sorry for Nigerians. More irritating is when you now discover that it is still this same clown that is billing Nigerians with higher power tariff that is not working.

he doesn't need to know how power works, all he needs is to have people who know.

seriously how many things can one person know?.. this was a former governor that built independent power projects in Lagos without knowing how power works, according to you.
let's give him a benefit of doubt

comradeodunze:
Seun and his goons can do better! Sooner than later nairaland will be somewhere no one will remember.

I wonder why people feel the need to comment on something they know little or nothing about

drivers details were not captured by FRSC?

typical of nigeria's different laws for different people.
I am sure the said driver has been plighing Nigeria route with same car,without been flaged down for proper check by FRSC and police, just because is an official car.?

but you won't let ordinary Nigerians go free of any slightest offense,now looking for whom to blame?

ramdris:
Excellent news! This is the first tym am seeing our gallant men taking on these herdsmen who are far more dangerous than BH.. I wish they can sustain this so that the pple in North central can have peace...

bro read again.
this are not herdsmen, these are thieves that steal cows.

so far it seems the herdsmen are untouchable

Guk:
Made in Nigeria or Sewn in Nigeria

95% Imported; 5% Local.
Imported Material
Imported Buttons
Imported Thread
Imported Sewing Machine
Imported Embroidery machine
Imported Iron
Local tailoring skill
Local Starch

Who's fooling Who??

the likes of Cambodia, Sri Lanka,Bangladesh Burma and a host of South East Asia Pacific, thrive on garment industry.

most of NIKE and Adidas wares, Wranglers,Mark and Spencers are made in those with same imported materials you have listed. seriously where do you expect them to source those things... from this same country that can't produce ordinary "toothpick?" must be kidding.

SirdeKay:
Those Aba tailors are so innovative and trendy. I work in organisation with over one thousand staff here in the South West and i can boldly say that those guys supply about 90% of our clothings. I think they should be encouraged to export their products abroad, especially the West African sub-region at first.

Aba actually has a higher percentage of patronage from West Africa, even more than their Nigerian clientele

Destined2win:
Right here in Lagos, I am seriously searching for the kind of tailors that I saw in Aba. Anytime I wear the clothing the made for me over there, people admire them so much. And the best is, the money they charge won't drain your pocket.

a relation of mine deals mainly in Aba made outfit. he takes your measurement and goes to Aba to make them.. exact tailor-made

on the contrary this should read...

"that moment when girlfriend has sworn to give you nothing else but boxers as birthday gift"... you show her you get am plenty

charliboy654:
And u think gej is God approval?
U think u ve made a reasonable post. But actually u just post rubbish.

he never said that.

for me what is most important in what he said is the fact that "we all deserve our leaders" and that is undeniably true.. and you can't call that "rubbish"

is he turning himself to a transporter?
how many people can he help?

let him do the right thing by fixing our transport system, let the people help themselves.

Lionsclaw:
I agree that we need a restructure of the political pattern in Nigeria. But I disagree with this man that we dont need all those offices. What I think we rather need in addition is to drastically reduce the cost of governance.

For instance I want to assume all our senators are rich business men who could afford the cost of their campaign, that is, they have brilliant minds to have succeeded in their respective business. So why not have a situation where they offer their brilliance for free as members of NASS.

If our president, senators, honorables, govs etc offer free services we will save alot for people oriented projects plus the fact that only those with passion to truely serve will find themselves there.

Having 300 senators means 300 minds to vet bills before laws are made and with such you cant go wrong. But assuming we reduce to 10 senators they will be drained out before they are able to cater for 180million people.

Bottomline reduce cost not the number of hands on deck

you can't reduce the cost without reducing the number of hands.

it's virtually impossible to ask our politicians to offer services for free.
how do you expect a governor who buys nomination form for 10million to serve for free?

how do expect a senator who got loan from Bank to do campaign, to serve for free?
let's even start with part-time legislature,they haven't agreed to it let's alone serving for free.

ask them to serve for free, the National Assembly would be deserted, that shows they are there for their personal gain, not anybody's interest

our politics is too tempting for any politician to render service for free... the day it happens, would be the end of, political assassination and ritual killings in attempt to capture power.

the truth.. we don't need 100 senators venting on a bill, lesser senators can do than, there are countries with lesser number of senators that are doing far better than Nigeria.. we don't need house of Representatives chamber, in addition senators, either of the chamber can do the job.

infact we don't need a legislature, Senegal just proved that by abolished their national assembly.

what is all this noise about kingship categorization?

mineANDurs:
Really? Those "big" girls dat rejected u in 2009, wat did u ask them for? business partnership?

even if he asked for sex, is that suppose to be in exchange for money?.. do you do a guy a favor for having sex with him?

person wey dem carry for back, still go carry another person join.. una no fit hold body?

festusfeezy:
You call that a good news?
A refugee in her own country , gave birth to a. Baby in a poverty/disease stricken camp n u say ggoodnews.

Anyway as for her she has to b happy cos it was a smooth delivery

Congrat to her

that is Nigerian phenomenon.

person give you free accommodation and you went to carry another tenant in the name of childbearing.. because they see free food

flokii:
peaceful coexistence.. you get it now?

they are not custodians of peaceful coexistence.
other tribes and regions can equally offer such.
...and demolishing people's shop is certainly not an attribute of peace.

I was shocked to observe that markets like mile12 is an eyesore compare to ladipo, but Lagos state government keeps making life unbearable for certain group of people, how do you explain that?

kachnov:
well said,an Eastern Seaport (Calabar, One,IBaka,Brass,etc)will open up the east to direct importation of merchandise.. that is the best way to stop all this madness.It's a shame the eastern Legislators hasn't put this together.

legislators ke, what has legislation got to do with seaport?

flokii:
this is why I don't feel for you guys

just hear ursef out.. calling d people who accommodated you at their own inconvenience LAZY..

do you deserve pity atal?

you mean free accommodation or what?

bros I need contact ASAP

idris4r83:
lolz! We even work with some of the blocks in site today. When preparing blocks, mixture ratio and watering is the topmost priority. U can mold 25pcs of blocks and I mould 50 with the same one bag of cement it might interest you to know that with proper watering the 50 can be stronger than 25. The key factor is to use the appropriate sand and water the blocks for like good 3 to 4 days morning and evening. And again dangote cement is not as good as bua cement when moulding blocks. Am moulding like 2000blocks may be before this week runs out I will try to create a thread with pictures and share it to d house.

please, who is moulding for you,I need the contact, even I have to pay teefair down to Abia, I don't mind.

I did 45blocks per bag, but if I can get 50 with quality I don't mind.

redcap:
Pls which parrt of Anambra.8k is a good price.
