How many times do we need to hear of various projects to deliver water, power or rail?

Why cant we have competent government that delivers?

Come 2023, we need to elect fresh faces that are not affiliated with either APC or PDP (preferably of Southern Christian extraction)
Oga, projects of this nature is not the same thing as building website and designing company logo. Feasibility studies and pre-engineering phase take a long time, and they are usually part of the project duration. The most important thing is that it's not being abandoned as we had with the other party for 16 years. So have patience.

Do you know America currently generate a total of 1,440,000MW of electricity for roughly 350Million of it citizen and Nigeria a country of almost 200 million is barely generating up to 10,000MW, this is beyond shameful. at this rate, It will take Nigeria almost 100 years or more to generate even 100,000MW
Nigeria don't need that number of megawatts as America to sufficiently supply power to her citizens. Look at the level of light we are having even with the little megawatts we have. What we seriously need is the infrastructure in the supply chain, not just generation. If not, no amount of generation will serve us well without the supply side working efficiently. And that's part of the deal with Siemens. Just look at the problem in Texas America for several days now, complete darkness.

My dear I have experienced this kind of a thing before in the hands of my cousin sister. When I got married and told my wife, she sent for her to live with us. It was tough job mentoring and guiding her. To make matter difficult, she is older than my wife. But she eventually succeeded in changing her.

PoliticsGive Us State Police, Resource Control Now, El-rufai Tells FG by contigiency(op): 4:31am On Feb 20, 2021
The Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has called on the Federal Government to immediately implement three specific recommendations of the All Progressives Congress Committee on True Federalism to address the insecurity in the country.

El-Rufai, who was one of the speakers on a live broadcast tagged ‘The Fierce Urgency of Now: Tactics and Strategies to Pull Nigeria from the Brink,’ on Friday, stated that Nigeria had failed “jealously and consistently protect its prerogatives and status as a leviathan, the ultimate guarantor of security, the protector of rights and the promoter of the rule of law.”

According to him, that is why the Federal Government’s power is being challenged in a “frighteningly sustained manner” by a phalanx of armed non-state actors.

He said, “I would recommend the following immediate decisions and actions by the federal and state governments, with the support of our civil society and all well-meaning Nigerians. The first is to implement the three key devolution proposals that I mentioned: Give us state police now; vest all minerals in the states now; and decentralise our judiciary now – not later.

“There are certain things governors cannot do. Some of them we have alluded to by saying we don’t control security agencies. So, you are chief security officer, but you can call the CP (commissioner of police) and if the IG (Inspector General) says, ‘Don’t talk to him,’ that is it.

“In five and a half years, as governor of Kaduna State, I have had eight commissioners of police. They are just posted; they spend seven or eight months (each) on average. Do the mathematics. Eight CPs that have virtually no say in their posting, and so on. How can you have security management if you change the frontline chief of security every eight months on average?”

The governor noted that only the National Assembly could make state police a reality.

El-Rufai added, “There is nothing the governors can do. And these senators and House of Representatives members were elected from states. Many of them got elected with our help and support, but when they go to Abuja, they can grow large heads and will not cut their hair for two years, and they start thinking something else. I had one like that; I got him out.

“We want states to have more responsibilities so that we can be held more accountable. The reason I said we need state police, a decentralised judiciary and the vesting of mines, minerals and oils in states now is because if we don’t do it this year, next year, everything will be politicised.”

In response, the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya, who was also a speaker on the occasion, said, “Governor El-Rufai has said, ‘Let us all work together.’ We are very ready to do that.” ‘We don’t have enough soldiers, military equipment’

Speaking on the causes for failure in effective policing, El-Rufai stated that the national level security response to the challenges has been uncoordinated and ineffective in wiping out the threats. He said, “None of the military services nor other security agencies has been suitably expanded in numbers and equipment for over a decade since the insurgency in the North-East pushed things to a new law.

“This country does not have enough soldiers, uniformed police, or secret police to project state power across its vast swaths, particularly the forests. The limited number of boots on the ground are not well-equipped and are significantly lacking in the technology that can make their limited numbers matter a lot less.

“We should provide immediate and enhanced funding to acquire advanced equipment, armaments and ordinances for the armed forces, police, security agencies and paramilitary agencies by drawing down from the pool of various rainy day federation funds like the Excess Crude Account, Natural Resources Account, Stabilisation Account, and so on, so that our security services will have the material to face the criminals that menace us. “

The governor added that restructuring required an immediate national consensus to collect more taxes at federal and state levels for the governments to be viable. “This also means we must stop pretending that the regulated rates of lending, interest rates, exchange rates, prices of petrol and electricity, as well as the salaries in the public sector are realistic, sustainable and will lead us to the Promised Land. These are decisions for the here and now,” he said.

We need compassionate leadership –Fayemi

The Governor of Ekiti State and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Dr Kayode Fayemi, in his speech, highlighted the importance of compassion among political leaders in the country.

He said, “For us at the level of the governors, we have been dealing with immediate issues that go beyond generic points that have been made eloquently by Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. When you focus on the recent challenges, be they banditry, insurgency or, most recently, the herder-farmer conflict that we have experienced in the South-West, what is clear is that, naturally, victims are almost always emotional about issues of this nature.

“When you have lost somebody or you know someone who has lost someone, it’s no use telling the person to be rational about the ill that has befallen them and the bereavement they’ve suffered. The truth of the matter is that we also need compassionate leadership in order to help deal with these issues, in addition to all the substantive things we need to deal with.”

PoliticsWike Will Join APC Soon, Says Orji Kalu by contigiency(op): 12:37pm On Feb 19, 2021
Senate Chief Whip Orji Uzor Kalu has assured members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike, will join the ruling party soon.

Kalu gave the assurance while addressing journalists after Wike had led him on a project inspection around Port Harcourt, the State capital on Thursday.

Some of the projects inspected were Rumuokoro Flyover bridge, 2nd Artillery Flyover Bridge, Real Madrid football Academy and the Mother and Child Hospital in Rumuomasi.

Kalu, who commended Wike for his investments in critical infrastructure, called on him to work harmoniously with the APC. He [Wike] is a man needed by us in the APC, it is my belief that a messiah can come from anywhere.

“I urge the Governor to partner with the APC, I discussed with him all through the night to find a common ground with the APC. I believe that very soon it shall come to reality. “So I urge Governor Wike to soft pedal on our party, humans can switch from one party to another which is human behavior in Africa.

I appeal to him to partner with us so that the good people of Rivers can benefit more from the Federal Government of Nigeria,” he said.

I have just given you an instance that is even worse than the picture you are painting, instead of you to either refute it or ignore it if it doesn't make sense to you, you rather resorted to insult.

You started making sense until this part I canceled out,if he can be a presidential hopeful,why go waste resources to be a governor when 2023 is just here, so those who have served as govs will now be waiting for him to come and take igbo ticket, how do some of you even reason, nawa oo
You are right 2023 is around the corner. But, as a sitting governor, he will be more popular and have better resources to face party primaries. 2 years as a sitting governor would give him a quantum mileage that he will never have outside the corridors of power. I just wish him and others in APGA will reason that way so as to achieve a bigger picture. He has the credentials to reposition this country as a president.

As for those who have been governors waiting for him, my brother, it doesn't work that way. It took Atiku few months to move to PDP, Wike and many sitting governors tried, but they couldn't stop him from winning their ticket.

And soludo will definitely be the most popular candidate APC can present among other members of the party from South East if he takes that option. And to the general public, he has such appeal to win based on what the country needs as president henceforth.

Even though I have sympathy for APC, I would want soludo to win. He has the credentials to develop Anambra better.

If my instinct is right, he will win and join APC as a sitting governor. So that he can stand for 2023 presidency, especially if there's signal APC will zone their ticket to the south East.

Reason he is not contesting under APC now is that APGA as a party is better positioned to win election in the state than APC. So win with APGA and move to APC.

PoliticsZulum Gives N13.9m And Car To A Doctor For Staying In Monguno Despite Insecurity by contigiency(op): 6:20am On Feb 14, 2021
Borno State Governor Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, has approved the payment of N13.9 million and car gift to a 65-year old medical doctor from Ogun State, who lived within the General Hospital in Monguno and continued to offer healthcare services to patients even when the town was faced with the most severe threats by Boko Haram.

The doctor, Dr. Isa Akinbode, graduated from the University of Maiduguri and joined the Borno State Civil Service, where he served for 22 years before he retired in 2016 at Monguno General Hospital.

After his retirement, the doctor, despite reports that he was once abducted and released by Boko Haram in Monguno, remained at the General Hospital in Monguno to offer voluntary medical services. Then Governor Kashim Shettima, during one his visits to Monguno, directed officials of the state’s Ministry of Health to engage Akinbode as a contract staff. Due to bureaucratic procedures, officials at the ministry in Maiduguri, however, delayed formalising the doctor’s contract, even though he continued to serve.

Five years later, Governor Zulum, on Friday, directed that Dr. Akinbode be paid his accrued arrears of N13.9m based on the terms of the contract directed by the former governor in 2016. Zulum also directed that going forward, contracts should be formalised for monthly entitlements.

The governor also presented a Toyota Highlander as gift to Dr Akinbode for his services to the host people of Borno.

“These (people like Dr Akinbode) are the kinds of people that need to be encouraged. He lives in Monguno despite all the security problems. My predecessor had during his visit to Monguno directed that he should be engaged on contract basis; unfortunately due to some bureaucratic procedures, his reengagement has not been formalised. In fulfilment of the promise of my boss, I decided to re-engage him on contract basis retrospectively. We are paying all his entitlements/salary in arrears. I am giving him a cheque of N13.9m. I have also approved his reengagement from 2016, being the date of his retirement.” Zulum said.

Governor Zulum also approved the recruitment of Dr Akinbode’s daughter, who studied Public Administration at the University of Maiduguri, into the Borno State Civil Service.

PoliticsWe Have Rejected Femi Fani-kayode From Defecting To APC - APC governors DG by contigiency(op):
The Director General of the Progressive Governor’s Forum (PGF), Salihu Moh. Lukman has said the rejection of former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode by members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from defecting to the party despite meeting with the party leadership is an attestation of the strong internal democratic culture of the party.

In a statement titled “APC, and the Question of Values” on Friday in Abuja on Friday, Lukman said the fact that members were able to reject Fani-Kayode’s attempt to join the party meant the APC has values.

Lukman who is a Chieftain of the ruling party commended the internal democratic credentials of the ruling party, which he said is lacking in the opposition parties, especially the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Again, we are as a party debating the issue of who should join our party or not represent the qualitative difference between the APC and PDP. If it were PDP, once the National Chairman of the party act on a matter and backed by a serving governor, members can only grumble.

“I am proud to have my voice guaranteed and affirmed by my leaders in APC. As an employee of Governors, it has been a privileged opportunity to speak out openly on matters within the purview of leadership initiative. Rather than my leaders, including our Governors, relating to me as a subordinate who should only take instructions, they recognise and respect my views as a loyal member of the party.”

He further said, “The issue of Mr Fani-Kayode’s drifted attempt to join the APC is a clear instance of attempts to manipulate some of our leaders into accepting membership of someone who ought not to have been considered a member of our party. If that was the case in the past, it is better late than never to correct such a mistake.
“As party members, we were able to rise up to the challenge of engaging our leaders.

Fortunately, we are able to gain the respect of our leaders and surely, moving forward, issues of who qualifies to be a member of our party will be clarified unambiguously. Maybe this could challenge the PDP and other parties in Nigeria to begin to address issues related to their failings.”
