Miliwatt or Megawatt?

Does Sokoto have a state police force?

Half salary versus one-quarter economy which is better. Just like aregberascal, he is embarking on fiscally-crippling projects.

Vision101:
Did you understand the meaning of what he said at all. He said that the country was technically broke. A company could be technically insolvent but the buildings are standing and the workers are being paid but there is no tomorrow. Everything could pack up at once which will become fatal.

Does companies that are technically insolvent sponsor workers in hajj or do welfare?

VoiceHenshaw27:
there are several alternatives to this;

Heavy-duty reinforced concrete covers – probably the most practical option. They can be cast on site with steel reinforcement and made strong enough for the expected load.

Polymer/composite manhole covers – non-metallic covers made from materials such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic or SMC. They are corrosion-resistant and have little or no scrap value, making them less attractive to thieves.

Ductile iron covers with anti-theft locking mechanisms – still metal, but the cover is secured to the frame with bolts or a locking system so it cannot simply be lifted and carried away.

Concrete-filled steel/composite covers – a combination that provides strength while making the cover much heavier and less attractive for theft.

Lockable recessed covers – the cover sits inside the concrete frame and has a concealed locking arrangement.

If I'm given the opportunity I will provide more alternatives to this whole waste of resources.

You tried.

Did the west prevent anyone from doing what dangote just did?

True... but now, every state is building flyovers and airport while sponsoring hajj and islam heavily.
Clap for uncle Yekini.

If not for the demonic arrangement in One-Nigeria, you denied common man benefits of subsidy in exchange for superfluity and you are still boasting about it.

He isnt a voodoo economist per se.

How come all subsidies are either gone or about to go but religious subsidy dey kampe?

Lol. Next time lift people out of poverty instead of mega projects you can toll for your unborn generation.
I hope a future govt doesnt convert two lanes of the coastal road into building foundation people can build houses upon.

It is a global phenomenon but slightly elevated here.

The goat didnt talk about steps taken to enthrone one religion above even the secular law.

You also set the stage for devaluation of the Naira so dont talk about N300B as if it is million times the N300,000 of ~1990

Subsidy drives every developed country when done well. In Nigeria, it is only religious subsidy that can be easily sustained.

From AI about Chinese industrial subsidy form and structure.

Chinese industrial subsidies do not take a single standardized "form"; rather, they operate through a decentralized and multi-layered policy toolkit managed by central, provincial, and local levels of government. According to analysis by organizations like the OECD, state support is categorized into three primary mechanics: direct government grants, tax concessions, and below-market financing.


Key Forms of Subsidies

Below-Market Financing: State-linked banks and financial institutions provide cheap credit, preferential loans, and below-market debt, which constitutes the largest share of financial advantage for Chinese firms.

Government Grants: Direct fiscal allocations, innovation funds, and specific cash subsidies are distributed by local and national authorities, heavily weighted toward targeted high-tech and green transition sectors.

Tax Concessions: Preferential corporate tax rates, R& tax deductions, and tariff exemptions reduce operational tax burdens for favored industries.Indirect and Guiding Support: Equity injections from state-owned venture funds, subsidized land use, and cheap inputs (such as electricity or raw materials) act as hidden structural supports.


Sector Targets and Evolution

Strategic Focus: Support has shifted away from general foreign direct investment (FDI) incentives toward indigenous innovation and advanced manufacturing, prominently featuring green technologies like electric vehicles, batteries, and solar photovoltaics.

Local Implementation: Wealthier coastal and trade-oriented provinces actively deploy local industrial guidance funds to co-finance domestic champions and manage overcapacity challenges.

From the above, we can see the chinese subsidize production and every other thing follows. Profitability and sustenance.

Who did they offend in that Sokoto axis?

If it isn't islamic terrorists killing their law-abiding citizens, it is one disaster or the other.
It is like someone from the headquarters of islam in the sultanate is doing sacrifice.
They should use the funds they spend on hajj and half a dozen islamic subsdizes to buy good boats/canoe that won't be capsizing every year.

Mukalakasheetah.

Very lame excuse. They said the removal of subsidy didnt create funds but instead reduced the extent of borrowing. How do you reconcile that with wasteful expenditures, unviable ventures like airports or religious subsidy at state n federal levels?

This is an idiotic trend. As it stands, that dancing governor has every right to steal.
He has danced for Nigerians in the open so ...

Foreigners reading that will think agbero are assistant angels. APC propaganda.

And every other thing asides Islam i am guessing.

The owners of Nigeria are sipping blood like zobo.

Assembly or production or manufacture?

This is what we should all push for. Accountability. Some of the shining lights that woke me up to the reality of good governance were the performances of people like Akunyili(NAFDAC), Adeshina(Agric Min), Adeosun(Finance Min).
Though they faced persecution, their performances opened eyes to the reality of perennial bad governance across all MDAs, states and 774 local governament areas.
As it stands, we are yet to have a truly visionary governor in Nigeria. Not since 1999.

N17B - N19B.

Try harder sir.

Ass licking attention seeker.

A crime but without these people, a dollar will be going for N5,000

Patriotism that runs on a timetable is nothing but cheap bravery masking the inner tremblings of a failed despot. He should have been patriotic under Buhari because Yekini merely continued from where he stopped.

Should they have baked him alive?

Is he contesting ?

This man should stay away from Ogogoro.

What about the twin bro of delta? Edo state?
