If only Nigeria can be restructured
Some state will compete with dubai

Be there fooling yourself! That will not happen because it just means Governors will have more money to steal.

Besides its erroneous to think what you see in dubai is built by government. A lot of what you see is also built by private capital to cater to expatriates that have been drawn in over the years by good policies.

If HSBC decides to site its Middle East operations in Dubai obviously it will need a skyscraper office space and residences for staff. If it doesn't build the office building itself, the private developers, seeing the demand will build modern office space and HSBC will lease it. Dubai of today is the result of a clear minded strategy from decades ago, faithfully implemented, that has turned dubai into an investment and entertainment hub that also attracts billions in private capital for various sectors like tourism, property, education, airline services, ports etc

What Dubai provided is infrastructure and the enabling environment to attract companies. Beyond oil operations in Akwa Ibom, mainly by Mobil, there is nothing about Akwa Ibom, South South and Nigeria that draws even local investment, not to talk of foreign investment.

Insecurity, poor infrastructure, poor quality labour force, inconsistent policies, erratic electricity. etc are not what develop countries and states

This may sound harsh, but if children of such road side mechanics etc have gone to our horrible public primary and secondary school, in all liklihood they have no business being in university. Except they happen to be brilliant.

The problem with Nigeria is that we still have this outdated mindset that every single person has to go to university. That made sense in the 50's to 70's when white collar jobs were plenty.

Now the children of market women, road side mechanic etc should use their secondary education and apply it to a technical trade. That's what intro tech was supposed to be when it was introduced into the curriculum.

University education is meant to be for the brightest and best and not every riff raff.

We have commonised University, especially in the North with useless low cut off marks.

Good day Nairalanders

I came here to report a very big problem that should be addressed by the school authority or the state Government.
School resumption is slated for 10th May for returning students and I just went to my portal now to pay my fees . What I saw was far from shocking as the school has added ridiculous fees to milk the student community dry
What is portal access fee
Sports fee
I can't get my hand on all the screenshot but this is bad for struggling students.
My total school fees is now 90k
This is unacceptable

I don't think N90k fees is unacceptable when you think of what N90k will buy you in the open market. Yet you expect to get N500k a month job in Bank or N1mln in oil company. If you want cheap N20k education, bthrn you should be willing to take minimum wage.

Funny enough, you all will complain that this in unacceptable but still go and pay £20k for masters abroad.

Insecurity: Nigerians Tackle Senator Remi Tinubu For Tackling Senator Smart Adeyemi; Say She Will Never Be The First Lady Of Nigeria

Angry Nigerian social media users have slammed Tinubu's wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu for tackling Senator Smart Adeyemi who boldly 'scattered' the National Assembly with his emotional speech.

For trying to shut Senator Smart Adeyemi's mouth, some Nigerians have blasted Remi Tinubu, saying that she 'can never be the first lady of Nigeria'.

Here are some comments slamming the ex Lagos State First Lady:

The economy is in its worst shape EVER. Buhari has crashed vale of Naira from $/N200 to $/N485 all within 6years. Never before have we had such a useless, incompetent President. I make bold to say that Abacha was better than Buhari in most areas, except perhaps stealing of money.

While I do not necessarily dispute the activities of these Fulani herdsmen and their destructive impact on farms, but why do we never see videos to back up these articles that always talk of how huge farms were totally destroyed. 300 acres is no joke na!! If indeed the entire this was destroyed and this happens on a very regular basis, how come there are never any videos of this occurring. Whilst herdsmen might be violent if being recorded while present on a farm, it could be done from a far distance.

I wonder if some of these articles or instances of herdsmen doing this or that to farms are not fake. In this generation of fake everything, one has to be careful.

Indeed! I tell people, the easiest place to govern is a State. Usually the state assembly is in your pocket and because a state is a bit small, its easier to ensure things are done well across the state.

Governing Nigeria on the other hand is a different kettle of fish. It's a lot more complicated, with more forces jostling for resources and relevance. And it's very difficult for the center to manage the affairs going on in 36 very distinct states.

I've always said that we need 36 good governors more than 1 good president.

University of Cape Town on Sunday, 18 April 2021

The University of Cape Town (UCT) says all students on its main campus were being evacuated by emergency services support staff on Sunday as a runaway wildfire spread onto the campus grounds.

In a statement, after the outbreak of a fire which gutted a section of the Rhodes Memorial restaurant, UCT said students were taken to predetermined locations.

UCT spokesperson Elijah Moholola said reports that the university was evacuating hydrogen tanks from its science labs could not be confirmed.

“We don’t have any info at this point and won't be getting it any moment soon as teams are working at various aspects of containing the fire. As soon as we are able to share further info, we will do so and respond to specific questions,” he said.

Visuals of UCT students leaving their residences flooded social media with many Cape Town residents offering affected students transport, food and assistance.

The vegetation fire started just above Philip Kgosana Drive on Table Mountain and was soon being fought by three helicopters water-bombing from the air in aid of firefighting crews on the ground from the City of Cape Town, Working on Fire, and Table Mountain National Park.

Several people taking videos of the fire while hiking on the mountain slopes behind Table Mountain described the speed at which the fire was moving.

Videos appeared to show the fire already having reached the University of Cape Town grounds by midday as students evacuated across sports fields under a blanket of thick smoke.

More pictures throughout page.

If it were to be Nigeria we wouldn't even have the helicopters with which to attack the fire from the air. The water trucks would arrive at the scene with only water they can physically carry and then when it runs out in 30mins, they would stand around helplessly while the fire rages - since we don't have fire hydrants anywhere in Nigeria (except maybe Abuja)

Test Flight To Land At Anambra International Passenger And Cargo Airport April 30, 2021

A fascinating development that restores hope in political leadership in Anambra, the state that prides itself as "Light of the Nation."

This is a truly international airport with 3.7km runway and tallest control tower that will serve the international and local air travel needs of Anambra and indeed the entire southeast region and beyond.

The governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano and his wife, Chief Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano were at the airport on Saturday, April 17, 2021 on inspection.
They were accompanied by members of Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council who wanted to confirm what they had been hearing in the media.

Okija, Anambra-born businessman Dr. Ernest Obiejesi (Obijackson) was also at the airport and landed in the brand new airport tarmac in his helicopter.

Ndi Anambra, the airport project is real!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVKnKQTnIHY

Not a bad terminal building. Relatively simple and should get the job done.

Still not fully convinced Anambra needs an airport. South East is relatively small and distances between other places that have airports (Owerri, Enugu, Asaba) and Anambra is relatively short.

Anyway, I hope it functions properly without further government support once operational. What will be disappointing is that when it starts, Amambra state government has to now pay 80% of the salaries and other maintenance costs monthly, further reducing available funds for development in other areas. As a state government, if a project cannot generate positive operational cash flows on its own, it should not be executed.

lekki1444:
however the bigger picture is that america never used to drill its own environments for oil but now it has started drilling its own environment for oil and so they no longer need to get oil from nigeria and couple that with the fact that the biggest oil refinery in the world is being built in nigeria and will be functional this year so it is no longer viable for them to be here anymore. the new emerging superpower is nigeria and in the future all countries will bring their oil to nigeria to be refined. there is a transfer of global wealth happening and a reversal of fortunes. africa is emerging and so it is no longer viable for the west to be in africa again. its cheaper for them to look for oil in their own backyard now. Also many local nigerians are taking over the drilling game in nigeria and so the competition is stiff.

My anger is that shell and other socalled oil majors are busy selling off oil blocks given to them by the federal government to develop to other oil exploration companies, whimsically, as if those OPL belongs to them! They have made billions of dollars this way and the fact that the federal government stands hands akimbo, doing nothing to stop this generational heist is simply stunning!

The oil wells belong to the country and not the oil companies! If they want to elope with the much they have already looted(we always hear they want to divest and run away, but they're always here to suck us dry), they can do so without auctioning off the countrys oil resources to the highest bidders and pocketing the money while living the Niger Delta as the most polluted place on planet earth!
It's Evil! The height of economic terrorism..

The oil companies sell their stake in the development of those oil blocks. If over 30 years I have contributed my 40% equity cash call then I am entitled to sell same equity to another company if I choose to move on.

Oil is the mainstay of our economy, yet most Nigerians have no real clue how the industry operates.

Enugu is a very nice, peaceful town, with good residential areas. It is a classic example of an old regional capital and civil service town, such as Ibadan and Kaduna.

If I were an Easterner, Enugu would probably be my best town to have a country home.

Unfortunately asides, Lagos and maybe Abuja, pretty much all Nigeran cities are not cosmopolitan enough for me. I grew up in Ibadan and I struggle to think what I would find to entertain myself in Ibadan if I moved back there to retire.
