How can someone from anambra and not be Igbo?

fourboys:
If u come from Anambra and u are not an Igbo... U dey miss

I guess by saying never fight govt...ur equally referring to the result of the end SARS, Sunday igboho and nnamdi kanu

Penguin2:
He’s no longer in charge of collecting taxes.

His Hotel was demolished.

I see the hand of hunger in this new humility

Obaseki took the rug off of his feet and blocked all his sources of fund.

Learn this today, you that is reading this, never fight with the government. You will lose.


I’m sure that even if the courts order the state to build the hotel Obaseki will not build it until he leaves office. And once he leaves office, nothing concern am again. He will transfer it to the next governor who might still not do it.

Don’t ever fight govt!

How much was used to construct the roads you drive on daily, how much is it yielding?

That my greatest wish...I personally believe solving the power issues in 9ja automatically solves 30% of all our problem..

But the power issue is highly complicated.. $2.5bn will only scratch the surface of trying to fix all the issues

Faiththatworks:
I have always wanted to make a suggestion to the Nigerian govt,I think there are some govt officials who visit Nairaland to read the opinions of Nigerians.
Please whoever has access to Gen Buhari should tell him it's time to permanently fix the issue of darkness in Nigeria.
My suggestion is very simple, Nigerians should be allowed to vote Yes or No for government to access 3 Billion Dollars from the foreign reserve to fix this issue of inadequate power supply.
If the citizens agree to allow govt access the money, Government should form a company that allows all Nigerian to have a share in the company.
The 3 Billion Dollars should be deployed to fixing the entire power chain, especially production.
If we can employ more than 100000 people to fabricate the iron pipes we need to move move the gas to all the moribund power plants,secure the pipeline right of way,build new transmission lines,send some some yoiths to mambilla to work there,and even start companies to mass produce prepaid meters,I'm sure Nigeria will be out of this mess called power shortage in a short while.
Part of the condition of removing the money is that Nigerians must have an open agreement on the pricing of the electricity.
Finally laws will be made to imprison anyone who makes any attempt to steal the money,and also another law to put a date on the ban of the importation of generators.
If Government can borrow 2.5 billion to build rails,I'm sure accesssing 3 Billion to repair the entire power sector isn't too much.
God bless Nigeria

Vwoman200:
What's he even wearing like handgloves material

Am surprised u ignored okpa...
Especially when u take it with garri...that combo can take u the entire day

Food price ain't cheap in Benue at all..

Redman44:
It depends on the city, state or Town you are schooling in. Food prices vary across Nigeria. If you are schooling in Benue, Taraba or Nasarrawa States, food stuff should be cheaper for you. Even in Ibadan, food stuff is cheaper than in Lagos. Cheers.

Students should take lots of fruits too.

Guess the eagle one jet has been fixed.. Sahara reporters ...claimed it was faulty and bubu nearly escaped death or something

What exactly is this guy saying... Last time I watched his interview on AIT and arise...he was asking the CBN to devalue the naira in other to force in more forex... Meaning the dollar should be way more expensive
In short he blasted the CBN for always trying to maintain the exchange rate instead of allowing it follow the law of demand and supply....the question is ..if the CBN is allowed to do such...does he think a dollar will cost N414 at I&E market...

Exclude kano and Kaduna...
I can not necessarily say all the other northern States gov. Are performing worse...it just that many of u Nigerians use white elephant projects to judge the effectiveness of a Governor and how lousy he is on media

franchasng:
The 6 Best performing Governors in Nigeria now are:

Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom
Sanwo Olu of Lagos State
Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State
Babagana Zulum of Borno State
Nyesom Wike of Rivers State
Willie Obiano of Anambra State



10 Worst Performing Governors Are

Hope Uzodinma of Imo State
Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State
Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State
Ganduje of Kano State
All Remaining 17 Northern Governors
Oyetola of Osun State
Obaseki of Edo State
Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State
Ben Ayade of Cross Rivers State
Fayemi of Ekiti State

U simply must be a misplaced and pained individual... If u cannot simply lay down ur facts and figures without insult..
Secondly... It a bit absurd that u compare akwa ibom to many of this northern state who are poor in everything and don't have the money to transform their state...

The truth is if u exclude uyo and ekot ekpene ..visit akwa ibom...there is really no much difference between it and other mediocre states...

Akwa ibom has received trillions of naira in the last decades ...what exactly can they show for it...airlines, towers and hotels..

There is no job in akwa ibom ..if u know their state well and u r ready to admit...u will know that...how can a state spending around $2 bn a year and still regarded as a civil servant state where the middle and upper class are civil servant.. Isn't that a joke

Note: you can show us we’re Akwa ibom is located in that NBS attachment, you senseless fool mistaken Ebonyi and Cross river for Akwa ibom

I think ur not properly educated.... 7th highest IGR from a few oil companies and 3rd highest GDP thanks to it massive oil production doesn't equal massive job for the population and better living and economic development for it youth...

Oil is one extremely profitable resources that hardly or in short doesn't create jobs...
Why not learn from Lagos who doesn't get it revenue from Royalties of oil companies but from taxes of the working class population and business men and women or anambra...

My point is all the money they make from oil should be used to put down sustainable investment and building a seaport that we attract people from all over the globe to come do business like we see in PH and Lagos...

You will never understand because u don't understand the worth of being faced directly opposite with the Atlantic ocean..
Lastly most akwa ibom people are actually poor...u know it...many of them rush to neighboring prosperous state ..e.g rivers state for better opportunities

Ilaumoh:
so much poverty and there are the 7th highest IGR in Nigeria and 3rd highest GDP in Nigeria among the 37 states .. You honestly need to go back to school

Well my comment is for those who can reason...

Akwa ibom is the second highest revenue generator after Lagos...but it doesn't reflect on the people or state...it only reflect on their airline, towers and 5 star hotel...

Akwa ibom is not an economically vibrant state that why there is so much poverty there...it not by Christmas light on roads or airline..give people work

Ilaumoh:
One wonder why you are so pained
Jealousy na disease

Ondo, anambra are doing much better than akwa ibom state...yes I said akwa ibom state...
A state DAT waste resources building white elephant projects 21 story tower that benefit no one, 5 stars hotels and airlines that not more than 0.001% of the entire population will fly...

Money that should have been invested into massive industries and building a major deep sea port to attract massive industrialization...
Don't even think of mentioning the car assembly or coconut oil factory he is building...
It not a enough to turn the state to an industrialized state...and such industries should be done by private sector... and to attract private sector investment you build a seaport!!!.. The ibeno port is taking forever to implement...
Although akwa ibom has done remarkably well on quality road infrastructure...

Kaduna and kano are also doing well...insecurity is their bane

Freestainworld:
The governor of Lagos State, Rivers State, Akwa-ibom state are the best governors in this era, the whole governors in the East excluding Umahi of Ebony state, are the worst performing governors especially the one of Abia state, the other South south governors are just carrying big tummy up and down for nothing, the whole governors in the north excluding the short man devil and one other governor that I have forgotten his name are just answering governors for answering sake, in the west, just remove Lagos, the others are owambe title holders.

True but u know Nigerians.. They will still insist their aim was to drop weapons for Fulani..
Am sure the community people being the average illiterate, sentimental and cynical people would have hijacked the crews and the chopper and change the entire story they they captured the suppliers of Fulani...trust Nigerians with anything

Rollsnjaguar:
Well I believe you, but they should not have taken off when the locals sited them and were calling for backup. They could have waited and show their ids to forestall speculations.

That's my thought anyway.

Oh alright then

FarahAideed:
It actually belonged to Nimasa they use it for waterway surveillance

Lol...not my point entirely...
Am only saying that looking at the number of deaths...we can't really say the helicopter dropped weapons in the SW bush..otherwise.. The situation would have been something else...in short it had more to do with tribal clash .which died down as soon as igboho was arrested..I mean after all the noise about amotekun bla bla...no open grazing... Fulani are still grazing openly all over the southern bushes and nothing has happened...unlike what is happening in the north relating to bandits and helicopter we are seeing here

Ttalk:
You mean 15citizen killed is not enough to raise concern from the people? You guys here are something else

Training exercise

Well i believe it was in a forest in Ogun state....
SW don't have bandits..and the herdsmen attack were extremely minimal..and was prominent in Oyo.. Only media hyped it...in short the SW herdsmen attack didn't kill more than 15 total throughout that period..(the ones reported when Sunday igboho was all over headlines) …

Rollsnjaguar:
We know is for the Nigerian Navy. But why was it in that tick forest?

That one in SW bushes belonged to the navy ..with excuse that the pilot was conducting training

FarahAideed:
We were able to track that helicopter then , it belonged to a govt agency then but this one has no single mark or number in it to identify it

DAT one was a Navy helicopter... NN which stands for Nigerian navy was bold on the tail..

Rollsnjaguar:
See another one, some youth recorded this in a forest in southwest. Only God knows what this people are planning for the country.

https://www.nairaland.com/6585500/strange-helicopter-found-yoruba-forest#102343723

Police don't use such choppers...NEMA maybe...but all government planes have a registered number on them..

FarahAideed:
This the first time I am seeing helicopter without any call number on it ..the person that came down looks like a white man..this helicopter in the video seem to be a modified Bell 429 Global ranger and I gather our govt even has some in service used by the police and NEMA

Lol...if u check google for Nigeria's generating capacity.. You will see that it stated clearly that we can generate up to 12,000MW

I have read articles of top individuals in the power sector saying that 3,500MW Can power the whole Lagos...Governors candidate of PDP jimi agbaje said the same....so if 3,000 to 3,500 can power Lagos with all the industries and businesses then the whole of the SE excluding ebonyi and SS combined including abuja and Niger can utilize 6500 MW even though their industrialization even when combined doesn't match Lagos...
Ogun ,kano , kaduna and Oyo can take around
1500MW to 2,000 MW...
The rest can go and die

SirLakes:
Which of these minister of power are we gonna believe now ehn

You seem very enthusiastic about this power issues...I have read virtually all ur contributions to almost every power related threads..do u work in the power sector

backbencher:
Here is the reason why

Easier said than done
Waste to energy can not meet our needs and it not efficient....

We need Nuclear plants and increased development of the gas sector so that existing gas power plants can function properly

udemzeus:
Useless government, why not build nuclear power plants or better still waste to energy plants.

Why is this government so useless

Very Big one!
Funny enough without building new plants we have the ability to generate 12,000MW..
If Siemens deal work out...the first goal should be to deliver 24/7 power first to only the economically vibrant states that contribute a lot to the economic and a vast amount SMSE and abuja...
Before we focus on rural areas and some stagnant states..
Lagos doesn't need more than 3,000 MW..abuja and other vibrant states can utilize 6500MW for 24/7 power
The remaining 2500MW should go to other region with atleast 12hrs per day

DubaiLandLord1:
I can't believe Nigeria will still be struggling to generate a terrible MW of power in 2021.

From 1999 till 2021, there is no meaningful development in the power sector? This is a big shame

It all started from obasanjo and the head of state who began subsidizing power..

RoyalBoutique:
You're right.

But trust me, it all started from Buhari.

Most of the power generating infrastructure are in the south...
The power plants in Lagos, ondo, south south states, IMO generate more power than all the power plant in Niger state

JavaScript9091:
How can there be electricity when most of the power generating infastructures are sited in the security challenged north. Boko Haram and bandits might be in control of some power plants and critical power assets but trust this government to hide it from you. Just know that an army that cannot defend her base cannot secure any power infastructure.
I have been without electricity for 3 weeks straight now. I have been burning at least 4 litters of fuel on average for the past 3 weeks now. How can enterpreneurs like us survive?
Everything about this country is just bad

He will step foot and nothing will happen

Tomek09:
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is greater than Buhari, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tinubu. If Buhari doesn't like himself, he should step foot in Ebonyi State.

..na today?...We heard the same thing before his imo visit...

Love the fact that it not the usual center table design

Lol...
Ur bringing constitution into this....

The way people like you think is quite alarming so the senate should now start drafting the kind of people where police should not shoot tear gas into despite when there is serious crises....
Besides the tear gas canisters are used to control chaotic riot or incidences involving mass amount of people... students inclusive...

If those students could come out, take matters into their own hands and stone police cars and equally join to burn the truck behaving like touts den they dey equally deserves pepper spray or tear gases to be dispersed like regular touts..

RIP to the dead

QuickStandard:
I never knew it was constitutional to shoot tear gas on secondary school minors. What a country and citizens. Smh

Airports that will eventually becoma burden on them...the number of profitable airports is not more than 4...out of 24

Ezewuzie01:
States like Ogun, Osun and Abia should be ashamed that they don't have an airport. Any state without an airport is not worthy to be a state. Texas has over 200 airports. Abia meanwhile is still struggling with one flyover for nearly 8 years.
