Local vigilante are good for helping the fight against Boko Haram but apparently not good enough to help in safeguarding the pipelines.


What I believe should be done is a scaling down of the contract with reorientation and integration of the local vigilante with the civil defence, Navy etc.

They know the terrain best. It will be in the best interest if all if they can work together with the security forces.

Since this arrangement there has been relative peace in the Niger Delta (I know many peeps choose to develop memory loss of how restive the region was).

A dog does not eat the bone around its neck.

Yes oil thefts is still ongoing but we don't want to add civil unrest to the equation.

Please I am not saying Anambra is not producing. I am only saying Osun products have more reach and brings more wealth. There are thousands of industries in Osun too. Small scale and large scale. Plastic industries, foam industries, steel industries and etc in Ilesa and other Osun cities.

Is there a cocoa processing plant in Anambra?. There used to be one in Ede Osun state but I am not sure its still functioning. The cocoa produced in Osun is mainly for Europe, China, Americas, Japan and etc. Not for mainly local consumption. Cadbury and co are the users of processed cocoa in Nigeria and I don't think they have plants in Anambra. Do they?

That is the problem Osun state and indeed most of the SW has.

You lie in wait for multinationals to come and develop your place.
What happened to local manufacturing and innovation.

There are hundreds of food processing plants including beverage companies that are locally owned that make use of cocoa.

They convert it to the finished products.
When I said cocoa your mind automatically zoomed in to bournvita.
Chai!

lawani:
What is laughable there? You can't answer simple questions. What is Anambra producing that makes her richer than Osun? Why talk down on the SW? For what? You say we are poor but you can't prove that with any statistics. Not the list of richest 10 in Nigeria. Not IGR in states. Not the list of Nigerian CEOs and industrialists. What then do we use. This is unfortunate. Wealthy people are not that numerous. We can't have 100 thousand people worth 200 million naira and above in Nigeria. So these things can't be hidden. Please stop talking down on Yoruba people. No group is more in number in Africa or more illustrious. That is natural because of the sheer number and advantageous geography. It is very possible that Osun is much richer than Anambra. Our products like cocoa, coffee, kolanuts reach the ends of the Earth and are in high demand. We have corporations and businesses that service the Nigerian market. It will be a feat for Anambra to be able to produce more wealth than the more advantaged Osun.

What does Anambra produce??
Hmmmm.
There are thousands of manufacturing companies in Anambra state rivaled only by Lagos and perhaps Kano and lately Ogun.

These are not just local companies but regional powerhouses that directly feed the largest market in West Africa located in Onitsha.

I put it to you that the cocoa you boast of is bought by Anambra and processed then sold back to you at double the price.

This list Is not exhaustive.

lawani:
If you collect 1 billion and announce 1.6 billion, then you have to add 600 million by yourself. It goes through banks, so you can't collect 1.6 billion and announce 1 billion. It is not something that can be faked. Osun wage bills are obviously much higher than Anambra's

It is extremely unlikely that a state with a significantly smaller population (one million less) will have a higher wage bill.
It doesn't add up.

Then factor in the 400million extra income Osun claims to make and you wonder why Osun is owning 7 months salaries while Anambra is increasing wages.

lawani:
They can leave money in the account by spending less than their income. They have federal allocations which forms the bulk of their budget.

Do your own investigations. Anambra is planning to increase IGR to 3.3 billion naira per month but present figure is 1.1 billion naira while Osun is 1.6 billion naira. The first thing Aregbe did on becoming governor is to employ 20 thousand people. That increased the wage bill. I heard of Anambra leaving money in reserve but I don't know what to call that when the place does not have the highest living standard in the world. What do you call a man with malnourished children who has 1 billion naira in his bank account? Even the US is 16 trillion dollars in debt. Lagos is in debt. I am not in favour of debt but saving money in a place while you have a dire need for infrastructures and etc does not seem smart. Anambra does not have enough not to talk of excess.

Don't think Osun is a small state. No state has more urban centers in Nigeria. There is huge economic activities going on with products that do well in the international and local markets. One would expect Osun to have a relatively large GDP.

Lol.
It is now very clear that you have never left your region or visited Anambra.

Anambra is one of the most urbanized states in Nigeria and ranks among the top in all facets of human development and mdg attainment.
Well ahead of Osun.

lawani:
Osun IGR is 1.6 billion naira. Anambra is 1.1 billion naira. There is no state that can not survive without oil money. What they get per year is much less than 1 billion dollars. They can easily slice it off their GDP if they wanted. We will get there one day.

Then how is Anambra with a much higher population able to pay salaries while Osun cannot even with a smaller population and higher IGR.

Is it not obvious that the figures are fake.

Is it stolen?

Very obvious that Aregbesola has absolutely no clue on what it takes to govern a state.

He has this impression that all he needs to do is collect FG handouts and share amongst the populace.

He is a failure and should be booted out.

That highway is in a very sorry state.
Needs urgent intervention as it is a very busy route.
RIP to the dead.

Not sure it's gender specific.
Only that most customer care staff in most banks tend to be female.

Why all the vituperation against the OP.

He simply listed the advantages of buying a used car.

He said reasons why buying a used car is GREAT not BETTER.

Used cars also have disadvantages.

Just imagine killing this harmless creature that should be conserved.

I will only watch female football at the national level.
Nonsense!

OP thank you for elevating my mood.

modified.

Probably a mob action led to their being stripped of their clothes but the police has no right to strip people of their clothes.

.

Dele Momodu be like baby elephant.

Jumping from one political bed to another.

Classless.

This man should be impeached and jailed.

You think governing a state is all about collecting handouts from the FG and buying Opon Imo to share to the masses.

No economic blue print to generate revenue.

Rather he is busy jumping from the top of one bus to another.

Old BAT.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This is called professional wound licking.

zicoraads:
This man should have been the President of this country. Pa Buhari is too weak to put up a fight with the hawks that got him to power. Kwankwanso has done wonders in Kano, and to think he doesn't get this money is very very impressive.

I agree with you.

Kwankwaso would have been a better candidate.

What a very interesting match.

I am beginning to think female football is more entertaining at the national level.

We can do it.

Fear dey catch me oh.

Make we no lose concentration.

3 classy well deserved goals by Nigeria VS 3 very crappy goals by Sweden

YEEEEEEEESSSS

Oshoala needs to work on her timing a bit.

Nigeria deserves at least a draw.

Good i hope he gets arrested.
