When you elect a dullard11nho as president with dumb policies and nepa bill as certificate,it is bound to rub off on the citizens as the hardship makes them dumber by the day

ConcNiggress56:
dear buhari.. but you promised my dad one slot na.. chaiii


people yaff suffer under this man regime ooo.. to think he has about 3 more years to go..


i wonder what will be left when he's done with us since things continue to get worse..


then.. dangote would have monopolised air.. one would be paying to breathe air

kazyhm:
what's the difference ?

you sack appointees and appoint some other ones, isn't that vendetta ?

there are many experienced folks on the job who have all the qualification these new ones has


the question is where are these ones coming from ?
what will happen to the GMs that are due for promotions ?

Keneking:
I hope that the director of commercial and business development would not be as corrupt as previous ones..especially the last one that retired voluntarily.

By the way, were these positions advertised?

Useless government

chi4ik:
OBJ I object totally, Local government doesn't control any security neither do State government do. we advocated for state police but FG Refused to give it a listening ear, now tell me how will state & Local government fight herdsmen while President controls all the Armed forces? anyway, OBG is just scared of Buhari

Sealeddeal:
Fulani herdsmen constitute a security problem to the country and I do think that Federal government, being in charge of security of the country, should also take responsibility in handling the Fulani herdsmen terrorism. Nevertheless, I do agree with Obasanjo that state government must also have an input.

KevinDein:
You southerners are always butt hurt about every and any news from the north, it's just ridiculous. Y'all seem to develop high blood pressure whenever the north is mentioned. For a region that supposedly feel it's more advanced and better in all facets of life, the amount of pettiness and bitterness you constantly exude is just laughable.

You guys should fuccccking get a grip.

pankaa:
El-rufai of Kaduna must attend oo;let him get more ideas on propagation of peace in his state.

EzePromoe:
I'm not understanding this new romance between the West and Northern Nigerians. Here in the South, we're almost like copying their lifestyle yet dem no send us.


Meanwhile, has Aisha taken care of Buhari today?

CliffordOrji:
As an Igbo man, I wish Governor Fayose can rule us in Igboland. Fayose is greater than Ojukwu

Jermat20:
Are banks meant for transactions or to report their customers to useless EFCC. Let EFCC try this mess in Akwa Ibom. What useless corruption are they fighting

Fedayeen02:
sue who? Can you imagine the kind of people on Nairaland who don't know about immunity for governors.



Smh

Saintp:
Corruption fight should be based on equity, justice and fair play which is seriously lacking and that is why we will not get it right.
If power ever changes hands again, the kind of vendetta that would be unleashed on opposition and enemies of govt of the day will be unimaginable. PMB with his double faced corruption fight is setting a dangerous precidence and this would backfire but then I will be far away watching you guys.

eistien:
sometimes I wonder how fayose became governor


which state in Nigeria does EFCC not have the right to make arrest?


Ekiti people, is this how you want to be governed?
cutting pormo and eating at the local buca.

stomach infrastructure, with which you will definitely still go hungry.


what has fayose done towards job creation or towards the development of Ekiti state? other than insult the president and make absurd and derogatory remarks.


Ekiti people stand up to this man and demand that he do what he was elected to do instead of going to market places and preaching hate

4nobody4every1:
Plus they believe in Mama Peace, Jonathan and all those who have looted and kept the country on the floor and auto reverse, Nigerians deserves the kind of leaders they get, nonsense

princesa:
This is a lengthy but very funny and insightful article, it's also an apt satire portraying the hypocrisy of Nigeria politics and politicians... And I felt I should share
sorry

omonnakoda:
You are uninformed Tinubu initiated a new power plant in Lagos. That is to show the vision of the man. Obasanjo and PDP did everything to frustrate it

Hawlahscho:
Sometimes when I see a pic/situation like this, I begin to weep for the future generations where my children will of course belong and all I do is to pray wisdom to guide them into the right path.

The man that sang this Gospel Yoruba song "...Amona tete ma bo.. aye n baje...." should kindly change the lyrics because "aye ti (at last) baje koja half"

Imagine that 14-year old pencil girl and the shameless guy of all time too, doesn't he know that that's child abuse and he can be jailed if legal steps are being taken against him

Well.........

Lilimax:
I hope this guy will be arrested by authorities concerned
Infact, I'm going to delve into this matter and will make a scape goat out of this boy...

dfrost:
I never said he did. He definitely had the backing of most governments. Ever read of what happened to Soviet Union when it broke up? Most monopolies have the backing of the government.

If monopoly is allowed to continue, large percentage of employees will earn petty wages/salary while few will earn more. No competition to threaten the market holders.

Not too far example is MTN and Globacom. MTN insisted that PSB is not possible until Globacom came and hit the market. Where do you think we would have been of there was no competition?

How many examples should I cite? Coca Cola, 7Up Bottling Company, Toyota, Hyundai?

Let competition thrive and the consumers will know the best place to pitch their tent.

Like I said earlier, I like his business acumen. Exploring opportunities. Ciao.

I hope we disagree to agree.

Shym3xx:
Impressive.

To those looking for factories and other things, Lagos shouldn't be the place for that. London has Canary Wharf. New York has Manhattan. UAE has Dubai. So, this is absolutely a wonderful initiative and if well executed, with a proper financial district in mind - it could end up becoming the financial centre of Africa. And that right there is much more valuable than oil.

Salute to the fact that they're slowly but surely executing. Hopefully, the end game would follow the same path.

I am on your side on this one (and a firm believer in manufacturing), but I think the answer for why they're doing this is:

1. there is a demand for luxury accomodations in Nigeria that will pay from day 1.
2. factories and industry is risky business when you have to supply your own electricity, water, light
3. who knows how much you will pay for machines and raw materials as the exchange rate bounces all over the place
4. the quality of labour is low (compared to other countries), due to many factors
5. Nigerians won't buy your products (since it's made in Nigeria)
6. apart from a few sectors, competition from abroad (with lower costs of production) will wipe out your profits

In light of these, the question to me becomes, "who in their right mind would build a factory in Nigeria?" It's sad, really.
Of course, we have our few giants of industry, but for the most part, there's more profit in luxury accommodations, than there is in manufacturing, today. Besides, it will grow the economy in terms of office space, hotels, luxury apartments and the like.

fellis:
Why don't these people just build factories and industries instead to create jobs for youth? What purpose is this hotel serving towards making Nigeria a better country?

Joshintua:
Why not invest the money used in Nigeria. It might be another business target though.

12inches1:
What good as this man done to Nigeria. He is an opportunist. He should park well. Is he not from the north where people are suffering extreme poverty? He cant start business in his community. He has to go to Europe. Africans can be so stupid.

anonimi:
How is Lagos state different after 17 years of the Association of ProgeTHIEF Criminals, APC with something as basic as tap water missing talk less of education for all children?

1kinggy:
Very terrible trend in the country.
One person rapes the masses and then passes to other members of gang.

davidif:
When did two wrongs make a right? Why can't you condemn corruption irrespective of the person's ethnicity? Chai! Nigerians. Nawa for una o. Talk about blind loyalty. Have you ever thought that this man's indiscretions is part of the reason why Nigeria is failing as a country? The fact that you love someone does not mean that you overlook or justify there transgressions.
