Till date, no one can install an emir in any Nupe part of Kwara state even though they are muslims. They call theirs ''Etsu'' which is true to their tradition.

xharder:
Yoruba and their masters, they Hausa have taken over Kwara, it is unfortunate that Yorubas are second class citizen in their native place, this is what cowardice brings about

Point of correction, Yorubas are third class citizens in that state even though they have the highest population.
They have their colonial masters, the Fulanis closely followed by Nupes running things in that state. The Fulanis dare not joke with the ''minority'' Nupes there because there are consequences, but they trample on the Yorubas left right and center.

eneka-igwuruta- rumukrushi is under construction.true or false?

you mentioned rumuigbo.where in rumuigbo?

No single road in Eneka is in good condition, Etche - Igwurita road is a complete mess. Psychiatric road in Ru muigbo.

phantom:
rubbish thread........
we all know oyigbo roads are bad and amaechi himself has admitted many times that his govt has failed in oyigbo BUT he also acknowledged the fact that some of the roads are being worked on.

.....and for the record, amaechi and fashola are the best we have. QED

What about Eneka roads, Igwurita Etche roads, Rumuigbo?
I know Amaechi has tried, but don't make it look like only Obigbo has bad roads.

Buhari and his group overthrew one of the best civillian governments of all time. That government had some all time best governors like Mbakwe, Nwobodo, Jakande etc.
The worst part of it all was that after overthrowing the civilian government, he sheepishly handed over power to Babangida without a single gun shot

egift:
It is Ezeali, Mr. Contractor.

Alright Emmanuel Ezeali.
You have seriously lost focus.
After February 2015, APC will stop paying you. Don't you think it is time to start dusting your programming and web design tools?

egift:
Chino, vote for Buhari - for a better Nigeria.

Ezeani, invest more of your time in your dwindling web design career, being an APC internet thug is a job without security.

egift:
Felicia Hair flowing from Abuja to Anambra

Vote Buhari and get a system that works and a government that will labour Day and Night to provide Nigerians equal opportunity to thrive.

Stick with Jonathan for more Stealing, Looting and hardship.

The choice is yours - Sentiments will do you no good.

Emma why did you abandon your webmaster hustles to collect crumbs from the table of APC?
I hope you don't burst a nerve because of Jonathan.

DAVIES27:
How am I sure this inosson SUV's body parts,brain box,sterring,Tires,seats are not imported from abroad? Because we don't have those facilities here for christ sake!!!!

Go to Nnewi and Enugu to see for yourself.

cooljude:
I haven't experienced it during my stay there. But they drive recklessly.

The OP probably had an isolated incident and thought he should open a thread about it.
The way he was calling on the moderators to take it to front page proves that he is just an attention seeker.

IGBOSON1:
I don't think the entire power project in Katsina will cost that; the $20 billion is for all projects planned under the power-for-Africa initiative!

I was scared when I read that at first.
You are right, the $20 bn is for the projects across Africa, I remember when Obama made the announcement on his visit to some African countries.

otokx:
When will this road be completed?

I thought you live in Uniport?
This section is right in front of you.

madamoringo:
I thought there are no poor people in that end of Naija? Who would have thought that not only are keke not the main means of transport but the boastful cheatbeaters cannot afford N 50 to ride a mere keke marwa? How much is N 50 again? 30 cents or less?

Madam akwûna AKA Sloan, you will die of heart attack very soon.
Keep hating.

firstolalekan:
People from that part of Nigeria can not be trusted.
I once experienced it with a taxi driver too.
Very dubious people.

At least they don't drive you into a forest where you are then sold to a ritualist as is common in the part of Nigeria where you are from.

Obiagelli:
Why was obanikorupt appointed in the first place? This current FG feels like a kindergarten school.


Btw deziani can't leave, who will replace night/ extracurricular activities.

That woman was a top management staff in the number one oil company in the world before becoming a minister, an achievement no one in your family will ever come close to yet you are here describing her as a whorè.
You are 1000 times more likely to be the whorè here, if you ask me.

The condition of the road was said to have been worsened by the blocked drains in the area which could not contain the erosion resulting from perennial rainfall

Interesting

For residents of Oluwakemi, Olasepe, Denro, Ishasi, Akute in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, it is faster to move from one point to the other in a canoe than in a car. PUNCH Metro learnt that the residents seemed to have given up hope on the reconstruction of a flood-ravaged road that links them to the Ojodu- Berger area of Lagos. The condition of the road was said to have been worsened by the blocked drains in the area which could not contain the erosion resulting from perennial rainfall and discharge from an Ogun dam. PUNCH Metro learnt that passersby had to take their times wading through the flooded portion of the road while children could not go to school. In a visit to the communities around 9am on Monday, our correspondent sighted a bus and a van submerged in the water. Workers and students, who could not dare the volume of the surge, boarded canoes while others were strapped on the back for a fee of N100 by some men in the area. A woman fell inside the water while wading through it but was fortunate to regain control. Mechanics were also on the ground to help motorists filter water from their car engines. Business activities in the area were paralysed as most shops were closed. The Baale of Olasepe Community, Mr. Wasiu Abegunde, said the flood would have been averted if there were good drains in the communities, adding that residents contributed money to do some repairs on the road. “The drainage system here is bad. My house is surrounded by water. If we have enough drains, the volume of water will be reduced. Most children cannot go to school and workers are late for their offices. Recently, we contributed N1.5m to sand-fill the road,” he said. The Chairman, Akute Community Development Community, Alhaji Mubaraq Sanni, told our correspondent that the government had neglected the area and appealed to Governor Ibikunke Amosun to find a lasting solution to their plights. He said, “In 2011, the state government promised to construct another bridge to replace the one that has been flooded. We have been lamenting the poor state of the road but at least, we are still managing it. “But now, it is beyond managing. Let the government come to our aid and do it properly. That is part of the dividend of democracy we are expecting. We are suffering. Government presence here is nothing to write home about. We are appealing to the governor; things are becoming unbearable.” In his account, Alhaji Muftaudeen Shuaib, who lives in Ishasi, said the road had forced some people to relocate. “We are fed up. It has been like this for the past nine years. The flood is yearly. We are suffering a lot. Some people have moved out of this area because they could not endure the stress again,” he said. A resident of Oluwakemi, who identified himself simply as Wolly, said the wheels of his car had been affected by the potholes. He added that he had stopped bringing his car to the house to avoid further damage. Our correspondent saw some passengers grumbling in discontent as they staggered along the potholes on the road. A passenger, who alighted from a commercial bus, told PUNCH Metro that transporters capitalised on the slippery road to charge them extra fare. “On a good day, from Berger to Akute is N100. But now that the road is worse coupled with the flooded portion, the fare has been increased to between N150 and N200,” she said. When contacted, the Ogun State Commissioner for Works, Mr. Lekan Adegbite, said the government would start working on the road soon. He said, “We are aware of the flood. There are many problems this government is facing and we cannot fix them in a day. Three years in the office is not enough to fix all the problems. We had done a palliative measure in the area but had been washed away by heavy rainfall. As soon as the rain stops, we will find a permanent solution to the road.

I just skimmed through the thread below created by the owner/ administrator of this site.
www.nairaland.com/1960061/making-it-offence-insult-government.

A very important part of the opening post is the quote below

The objective is to prepare Nairaland for a time when the Nigerian Government may not be able to tolerate such things

The significance of that post flew past the readers of the thread at least from the comments I was able to read.
My understanding of that write-up is that Seun, perhaps informed by the results of the online polls that followed Buhari's declaration of interest in next year's Presidential election, is preparing for the highly unlikely event of Buhari becoming the next President. One of the many negatives associated with Buhari is his lack of tolerance and respect for freedom of speech and Seun being the intelligent guy he is knows what effect it will have on his business if God forbid, Buhari takes over from GEJ come 2015, this is the basis of his well known disapproval of Buhari's candidacy.
Ironically, most of those who were wailing and gnashing their teeth preaching freedom of spech and right of expression on that thread are Buhari supporters, how laughable. The freedom to pour out frustrations and express dissapointments about the current government on NL and other platforms they currently enjoy will be seriously lacking under a Buhari led government.
It was really quite funny to see supporters of a man who is notoriously anti-freedom of speech crying on that thread.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

He only made matters worse in this so called apology by saying less than 2% of the group are APC members.
Those 2% I believe, sponsor the group and pay the other members.

If you ask these idîots what exactly President Jonathan has done to divide the country, you will be the luckiest person on earth to get any meaningful response from them.

UchihaMadara:
I need a presidential aspirant out there to assure us that we would make use of the coal we have in this country, I just don't understand why that is so hard to achieve.

Power by fossil fuels is the first thing any Electrical Engineer learns in his Power 101 class. It is really disheartening to see all our "power eggs", so to speak, being placed in one basket; the natural gas basket.

Please take a look at the distribution of energy sources in the U.S:

Also, it's high time the government placed extremely high penalties on vandals. Left to me and vandal caught should serve life imprisonment.

Allow them to keep deceiving themselves, I keep saying it that until we embrace coal as a souce of energy, we will never achieve anything close to stable power supply.
Advanced countries like UK, USA, China, Germany, South Africa etc still use coal as their number one source of power generation despite all the so called alternatives at their disposal, but some people think a highly populated country like Nigeria can achieve steady power by depending on 100MW gas plants littered everywhere.
I just dey look.

Abagworo:
Ibiakwala with this una hatred. Read that article and see where they complained that they've not received support from Mr Okorocha and the the Mosque's roof is leaking. These things preceeded Okorocha and several Governors have come and gone from 1977 till date but you chose to attack Okorocha who is there for 3 years because you're scared of Igbo President not coming from your side. Next is for you to demand Okorocha destroy Mosques. Ijiot!!

What do you mean by Igbo president not coming from my side?
I am from Imo state and unlike you, I have the interest of my state at heart rather than the interest of Okorocha.

I just can't wait for Rochas to leave Douglas house with his Islamic agenda come 2015.
That Islamic school and the one in Ebonyi should not see the light of the day, the land should be used for something more important.

benromeo39:
3.98? So? Our naija peeps in private schools like CU dey graduate with 4.98.

3.98 in a 4.0 scale.

Igbo kwenu!

GEJ is working
*Dancing*

APC plebs and lies sha..
He said and I quote, ''use your voters card to make sure PDP doesn't lose Rivers state and Nigeria''.
Desperate APC!

Please help me tell them ooo. We have urban sprawl and HUGE tracts of virgin land just sitting idle.

There is no country that doesn't have that, virgin land in some countries is bigger than Nigeria as a whole. What do you mean by sitting idle? If every inch of land in the country is already occupied or being used, what happens as the population continues to grow?
The total size of farmlands in the US is five times bigger than Nigeria and they still have virgin land.

casualobserver1:
Why don't those people have a source of income? This is what you should be asking. Nigeria has a population that isn't even enough to tap its natural resources. We have huge tracts of arable land that are untouched and unmapped. Massive reserves of mineral resources that are just waiting to be exploited as well as a huge domestic market that needs millions of factory workers to provide it with manufactured goods. Our population is our greatest asset.

So you see nothing wrong with people who have no source of income producing up to 12 children?
Even the billionaires in those countries we want to be like do not have half as much children.
That mentality has to change.
China and India that you guys keep mentioning have been doing a lot to control their population for decades, but here in Nigeria, it is a taboo to even talk about it.
Our population cannot be our greates asset when a good chunk are uneducated and ignorant.
The ebola salt water bath stuff and the number of people who fell for it, says a lot.

There are people in this country who have no source of income but have up to 12 children in this country, I am talking of here in the south not even in the north where it is prevalent.
What kind of education will he provide for those children and what will they turn into?
In saner countries, people give birth to only children they can take care of.
