FINE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF DILAPIDATED BROWN ROOF HOUSEs AND SLUM....


Southwest ASIDE LAGOS IS JUST A joke

Approaching Okpoko market through thick smog on the back of an okada (motorcycle taxi), the natural reaction is to cover your nose to protect yourself from the dust storm – but the effort is futile.

When a lorry zooms past, kicking up yet another red cloud of dirt, a trader turns the head of a sleeping toddler away from the road, a protective act that is as poignant as it is pointless.

This is a typical day in the southern Nigerian port city of Onitsha – which last year gained notoriety when it was ranked the worst city in the world for the staggering levels of PM10 particulate matter in its air.

Onitsha’s mean annual concentration was recorded at 594 micrograms per cubic metre by the World Health Organization – massively exceeding the WHO’s annual guideline limit for PM10s of 20μg/m3.

PM10 refers to coarse dust particles between 10 and 2.5 micrometres in diameter, while PM2.5s are even finer and more dangerous when inhaled, settling deep in a person’s lungs. Sources of both include dust storms, gases emitted by vehicles, all types of combustion, and industrial activities such as cement manufacturing, construction, mining and smelting. Onitsha scores highly on most of the above – as do other rapidly growing Nigerian cities such as Kaduna, Aba and Umuahia, all of which also featured in the WHO’s 20 worst offenders for PM10s.

In Onitsha’s very busy Okpoko market, my air quality monitor registers 140 for PM10s and 70 for PM2.5s – all way over recommended healthy levels, but still nothing compared to the readings triggered in other parts of this densely populated commercial and industrial hub.

The entire vicinity of the market is perpetually dusty, as wood-sellers saw lumber into different shapes and sizes. The air here is made worse by all the fine sand particles that fly off the back of trucks as they visit one of the many dredging companies on the bank of the River Niger, just behind the wood market.

lol...


the thread is about appointments which is what I jejely commented on before you brought your usual busy body & talked about how it is FDI that is more important.


was the thread on FDI?


but being the accommodating person I am, I went with your flow & pointed out to you how lopsided appointment affects the country such as in the security services, you are now asking rudderless questions...


the finance ministry that Ali was insulting Adeosun in public or that emefile was taking directives from funtua?

the same one where Muslims going to mecca get fx at 190 to a dollar while Christians get at 300 to a dollar.


the health that the subordinate of the minister has more powerful than the minister?





your issue is that you love to butt into other peoples mentions without understanding exactly what the issue is all about. on the threads where killer herdsmen attack or where the stup!dity of pmb is exposed, you will go missing.


on the FDI you are even knocking your head about, was there no FDI under GEJ?

but in your usual selective amnesia, you will forget about that. you were the same person rubbishing investments in the SE a few months back because the narrative didn't suit your biased narrative, now you are here bragging about it. that clearly shows how deceptive you are when it comes to furthering a narrative that suits your twisted positions.

Let us look a little deeper into that ... The South East, for example, has five states. Four of the South Eastern states have senior ministers; all of them, except one, who is Minister of State for Education.

Cherez:
Nawaooooo!
Thanks for this reply. When I read some comments on NL, I just believe Nigeria has a long way to go ie if we will even get there.
States are drawing investments to themselves with policies mapped out for it and a whole finance minister alluded it to FG's handiwork and people believed it?
How much infrastructure has PMB fixed in those states?
What expenditure and it's direct impact did FG carry out in those states?
The way Osinbanjo is acting, I have lost hope in him too.
[b]You spent N1.3trillion when $1=N365, while someone else spent let's say N.9trillion when $1=180.
Do the math and tell us who spent more. Factor that most of these contracts reflect exchange.
See the way VP coined these stuffs to receive the gullible and people who do[/b]n't think for themselves but follow every single concept without thoughts.
NNPC and other major portfolios are handled by who?
Just look at how they messed Fashola up. A man I knew was a workaholic has been turned something else by stifling his portfolio of funds while NNPC is spending recklessly on subsidy and oil exploration.
That's how they tell us that our foreign reserve has grown without telling us how much debt they've incurred.
GOD SAVE NIGERIA AND GUIDE OUR LEADERS RIGHT for we are already dead in this country.

ivandragon:
look at who is talking about not being focused & guided...


in your usual selective argument, you left out the issue of killer herdsmen which relates directly to have a security hierarchy heavily in favour of the aggressors.



you talk about investments being heavily in favour of the south, why won't it be when it is the major area of international commerce & foreign income for Nigeria? the government can't do anything about that... except to implement policies that ensure millions lose their jobs in record time.




but when it could directly influence/manipulate something having to do with finance, this government directed that international agencies should focus more on providing aid & loans to the north east.



this your rhetoric of south east populating GEJ's administration, in what sense?

even at that, are you saying because GEJ allegedly did wrong, pmb is then justified to do same?


you really need to get your thoughts right...
bottom line is that the VP is stating a narrative that is false.

ivandragon:
the VP is either being economical with the truth or lacks perspective...


most of the so called 'full' ministers from the South are just figure heads who have little or no say in the actual affairs of the nation. a look at the key agencies/parastatals under those portfolios will reveal that they are dominated by northerners (except in very few cases).


the key areas that are the life blood of Nigeria are firmly populated by pmb's cronies... it is only by doing a sectoral analysis that one can grasp the true picture of pmb's nepotism & lopsided appointments.


for instance, a glimpse of the security sector will reveal that out of the 12 KEY positions, the north holds 10. the south have chf. of defence staff & chf. of naval staff... two positions that are fairly redundant in the big picture.



look again at the major financial/economic/revenue generating appointments... of 14 key positions, the north controls 10 including the cash cows of petroleum, customs & NPA. south has 4 with the major one being FIRS... the others, Min. of finance, CBN are less effective if the others do not remit money.


same goes for virtually all ministries headed by southerners...

ivandragon:
the same way those investments head to the south of Nigeria is also the same way job losses affect the south the most...

http://dailypost.ng/2016/08/31/4-58million-nigerians-became-unemployed-buhari-nbs/


& that is the big picture. the question you should ask yourself is that are those investments getting to the people? if yes, why the astronomical job losses?


also, the rate at which the killer herdsmen spread to the south is far more alarming especially as the president continued to turn a blind eye until he was forced to respond to the out cry of Nigerians. do you think that if there was a semblance of balance in the security appointments, a greater effort won't have been made to check the killer herdsmen?





that is the reality on the ground & not some twisted tale pmb's army of deceivers try to sell.


you have already 'assumed' where I come, shows how one track minded 'you people' are...
