Sorry if I am wrong, I stand to be corrected. Though I am not in support of corrupt practices. The whole money was 9b not 13b. My question is what is holding Ameachi from telling us the size and nature of the land and also published its revaluation cost instead using it to despise people 4 personal beef. And moreover the land was purchase with someone ideal & existing structure 4 a propose diving school, and also a possibility of oil being discovered in the land in future. And it's a Federal purchase where different lobbying is supposed to take place. I believe the whole shit is not suppose to exceed 6b. Note a friend Family land of 1 Hectare in Boneboye was purchase For 1.2billoin by OBJ govrt when oil was discovered on it.






Stopping that project is a slap on all Okerenkokos Face. has he been able to recuperate the money spent on the land now! Govrt should always use the most diplomatics way wen dealing with issues.

mcgaius:
Your comment is the joke of the century.I forgive you because am aware that most people from the Sw hardly travel to other regions.IBADAN might be big in terms of land mass but not more developed than owerri in terms of contemporary infrastructures.IBADAN is the only city passengers on an aircraft can identify many thousands of feet above sea level because of its brown roof.

Broda you don't need to be regionism abt my quote. I am traveller, I Ave visit almost all nook and cronies of South East as Far to aFikpo. I Ibadan is out dated to me but owerri is not up to Awka, Warri, and Asaba even Ota is Far ahead of Owerri.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Which city in ogun is presentable?

Have you been to Ota, Agbara and abaekuta ?

DropShot:
Funny you! Please tell me what makes Delta and Anambra to be more infrastructurally more developed than Ibadan.

Have you been to Onitsha/ awka and ASABA/Warri. Have tour some of these places including Ibadan and to me Ibadan is ancient and over hype. Owerri is not even suppose to be in dat list.

Thou you said your opinion, but it's good for your opinion to always have back up. You have to ask yourself which of these state have I travel to, or provide pics. Places like Owerri, ancient City of Ibadan, and KD on list can never be ahead of Delta and Anambra. Even Ogun is expected to be ahead of them. They are just being over hype on the media.

loomer:
Nigerians no go kill me with laugh.

After una do this one, una tell the govt to provide bin for every bustop?

Abi una tell the govt to provide bin trucks?

Cos naija no fit clean until we start provide small bins for everywhere and ensure say people use the bins or be fined

That is part of the Project. Installing waste bin @ every 400m

FEDERAL CHARACTER SHOULD MATTER IN PUBLIC OFFICES APPOINTMENT.
Omirin Emmanuel (Emaculate Ife)

Position: Support

School: OAU

For a Federation that was coerced together, lack of equal representation of the federating units is the greatest threat to the national integration of such country. This bores down to the 1914 mistake when Nigeria was coerced together without any recourse to the people's feeling. Instead of breaking up, national integration was chosen. In a bid to maintain the national integration and development, the government was faced with two options federal character: a principle of equal representation of the federating units or meritocracy: a principle that cares not for the equal representation of the federating units. If lack of equal representation is the greatest threat to national integration of a coerced country, then which out of federal character and meritocracy is a threat?

Constitutionally, appointment into public offices is expected to reflect federal character in order to aid integration. Sadly, this provision was made non-justiciable, that is, the government can forgo federal character while appointing without facing the wrath of law. Its non-justiciability has brought feelings of marginalisation in the face of visible dominance of office by some regions. This feeling has been known to have fuel protests and the fight for emancipation of the aggrieved region. If care is not taken, national insecurity and division will set in. In a bid to stop this callous consequence, federal character should be made justiciable.

Naturally, no sane person can work efficiently in an unfriendly environment. A product of marginalisation is protest. Most times, protesters prevent workers from going to their place of work thereby slowing down the productivity of the workers which in turn affect the nation's economy negatively. There might be a change of event, they might go violent by vandalising properties. But will there be any development if workers are prevented from working or properties are being vandalised? For the sake of the economy and development, federal character should be considered.

Moreover, anyone conversant with the world will note that federal character is not alien. It is the quota based form of affirmative action that is given full force of law in UK, US, India, Canada, South Africa among others. The love the government of these countries have for their people necessitated their choice of not sacrificing integration on the altar of meritocracy. If these countries practice affirmative action for the purpose of integration, why then should Federal Character not matter in appointments?

On the 5th day of May, 2016, Mr drtwist, a south-southerner, took to Nairaland to explain how being from the richest region in the country had not helped him secure a place in the military after years of "searching" while his "brothers" from the north were easily recruited - feeling neglected. This was how Niger Delta Militancy started. It comprised of young men in the region who were dissatisfied with their inability to find jobs, destruction of their lands and rivers (which served as means of survival) without any intervention from the government. Suffering and poverty became the order of the day. If care is not taken, Mr Drtwist and the rest, can be turned into readymade tools in the hands of the Niger Delta militants.

Analogically, democracy is a government based on majority's wish and not merit. Just like democracy, Federal Character is based on the wish of not being marginalised. Wish of the people is a driver for the two concepts. It is apparent that people's wish is given great esteem in the world. If that is not the case, aristocracy should have been more popular than democracy since it gives room for the best to rule. Federal Character is our democracy, it should matter in our appointment.

Legally, the safety of the people is the supreme law; all good laws must guarantee the safety of the people directly or by implication. In a country like Nigeria where protest which might lead to chaos can spring out at the slightest scent of marginalisation like the Biafra agitation which is fuelled by their feelings of being marginalised. Which law do you think will guaranty the safety of the people more when implemented? Meritocracy that will allow marginalisation of some regions or federal character that will give no room for marginalisation? You choose!

My Daddy is a man that stands between chaos and the citizens. Each day, he cheats death and listen to the music played by gunshots on the battlefield because he wants to protect the country. He sees his friends being killed beside him but he keeps praying for God's protection as he fights for the country's unity. If you were my Daddy, would you rather choose to protest a law that will protect the country's unity which your teammates died for? I believe you would go for that which will protect the country's unity.

Meritocracy might be good but Nigeria is not yet ripe for it. Nigeria will be ripe for it when fear of marginalisation and domination is removed. She can also be ripe for it if this forced marriage is broken into pieces and ethnicity becomes a thing of the past. Till then, Nigeria should make Federal Character matter in appointments into public offices.

Federal Character And Quota System in Nigeria A Good Public Policy
http://www.gamji.com/article8000/NEWS8640.htm

Nice Job bro! You strum the right string in the chord Based on the debate, but even if federal character is adopted and it's not done based on merit, the country will still remain stagnant. Have you ever wonder why it's difficult 4 us produce a Field Marshal in the military, because people with passion and dream are not being recruited into the field. Only those with connection! I have lost counts on the number of times I have been told that without the signature of either a major, Senator and Gov I should 4get about being enlisted as a Cadet. Which always end up to be so. It's painful but sometime I believe God knows the best.

I just want a leader that understand the pain of Nigeria not those that promise more than my Nigga Promise. I understand those of us in SE/ SS already hate buhari, so nothing he will do that will impress the region.

Six weeks and u are bringing it to the public notice now! They pay proper attention to the friends and relation of the wife.

Must they publish the list without result. Nothing of dasuki case up till now

R.I.P sir!

Aba boys. Anyway I like the way he is handling the issues hope peace reign

Sometimes I wonder Wat is the difference BTW Aba and Enugu! Also Wat is behind the scene that is causing herdsmen to attacked Enugu people and not Warri or other parts of the south east

I have no problem with drilling anybody that is in position of the masses wealth, just that this drilling will still end to nothing which shows how toothless EFCC is. Also why one side fight against corruption?

During GEJ term the only we worry about much is Boko haram and maybe light in some area. But now we worried about everything include the next state our president will be going to

And he is the chairman Northern Gov forum. Making illicit statement signs of animal in human skill. The chibok project you implemented will come 4 you one day!

What about that of Edo, lawmaker that can't respect the law will be the once making laws. Anyway it is illegal to do something legal in an illegal city. Also House should closed than Inec office 4 not wanting to conduct Rivers election.

Little by little you are becoming active sir. But we need to be seeing some of your constituency like Sani of kaduna is doing.

Being From south south no help me talk off south east. My region is the richest and I have nothing to show for it. Have been looking 4 job in the military For long now, still all my niggas in the north are easily recruited. F**k those representing us until we start feeling the impact of our region.
