Oga get this information clear, BAT is not going there to fixed Nigeria, he is going there to use that power of presidency to suspend that 1999 constitution are return us back to regional govt ibo suspended in Jan 1966. And return Nigeria name back as Federation of Nigeria

That power of presidency is too much; As Agunrosi used that power to suspended parliament/regional systems of government and introduce unitry systems, the same power was used and called federal republic of Nigeria. the same power Obj used it and gave us 1979 constitution, Abdulsalam u d same power and gave us 1999 constitution.

Everyone will develop it own region-UAE model and fight corruption

We need better federation of Nigeria

BAT 2023.

Oh my
We have a long way to go.
This is a democracy and the president has no such powers.
Don't delude yourself.

What baffles me is why we can't see the bigger picture.

They have come again.

M1Garand:
Tinubu was denied federal allocation for years by Obasanjo and that was when he raised Lagos internally generated revenue from 600m to 20bn when he was leaving office.

Una don come again.
Like Buhari like Tinubu.
Both have led/ will lead Nigeria to doom

Stephenmoka4:
Do you think EFCC would believe him if he told them he contacted his bank? (assuming he did)

Absolutely if there is evidence.
Which is why emails are invaluable.

Revolution2022:
If a scammer hack your bank account and stole your money the bank will say there is nothing they can do about it.

That is not true.
The bank has the responsibility to keep your money safe.

More appropriately called jack fruit not sycamore.

Mental health issues at play here

techmo:
I have more facts and statistics to back my stance, if you feel you have any one better bring him here let's compare their CV and let people select the best

Yes Bullion van containing his money came into his house where masses waited to be dashed money... He is neither a contestant or a public office holder during the election eve and he wasn't at any polliing unit just. His compound, and the people who came where not forced

If you are ok electing an individual sharing government funds to the masses to sway elections, I'm not.

techmo:
I swear to God Almighty, I support Tinubu based on his Governance anticidence and that I want the best for Nigeria, I have lived in some countries with valueble leaders like Maktoum of Dubai, and I can swear that the next person who can offer that is Tinubu.. this is from statistical analysis of his 30 years in politics

There you go again swearing without any facts to back up your claim.
Just sentiments.

Boris Johnson is fighting to keep his job because of a 'work' party that potentially breeched COVID restrictions.
But you are supporting someone that a bullion van disappeared into his residence during election time.

techmo:



Tinubu supporters , and associates are rich , educated , classy people who had benefited from his policies at one point since 1999

Unlike bitter useless poor Mkpuru Mniri miscreants who can't even mention the reason for their hate


.

Deep down in your heart do you genuinely believe that Tinubu can turn Nigeria around for good given his unsavoury track record?

We just have to rise above sentiments if we want anything good for Nigeria.

Vivara:
These are modest projects aimed at saving cost in governance because if all these people here commenting against these projects know how much goverments at state and federal levels spend on hotel accommodation for guests and that of hiring commercial halls for events etc, you will all start hailing Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for initiating these cost-saving projects.

When money is saved then the citizens of Enugu State benefit because that money saved will be channelled for development issues and provision of more dividends of democracy.

Development is not all about building burguos structures that will be difficult to utilize and maintain in future just to impress those that are not in tune with the modern trend in civil engineering. I really commend Governor Ugwuanyi for indeed enhancing the status of Enugu as the historic capital of the South East Nigeria because these beffiting structures he is constructing in that Old Government Lodge will serve the people and leaders of South East especially now they need to be meeting regularly to pursue a common course, the Presidency...

Stop defending the indefensible.
Ugwuanyi is a colossal failure.
Infrastructural decay is starring him in the face and he is repainting preindependence buildings as achievement.

The most painful part is the audacity of the poor governance being cloaked as a benign lamb when he stands aloof looting away.

Why are you destroying your environment.
Why why why?
Look at this magnificent animal in it's natural habitat.
Yet you seek it out and destroy it.

Hammyaladin:
Infrastructures - done

Building international relationship -done

Increment of minimum wage and that of corpers who come here to cause government day and night and later collect their alaweee to sort out need - done

Armouring and sponsoring the military heavily - done

Clearing fuel scarcity during Christmas and new yr - done.


But hey, people only look @ the compromised security by the nation big wigs (I know call name)

Buhari governor is flawed but trust me, he did try his best.

Nigeria a land of zero expectations.
Our economy and security are in the worst state compared to any democratic dispensation we've had in past.
He is simply put a catastrophe

bigeagleeye:
I am sure ffk knows where idle lousy minds with hungry tummies are and has employed an arrowhead to mobilize his cohorts on this forum...there's nothing else that can explain the load of lots with unsound commentaries on the pains of a young lady who is apparently suffering because someone thinks he has all the power and can oppress her.

I didn't come from a broken home but I know people who do, I don't have an unfortunate marriage but not everyone has been that lucky. It is painful to see the level degradation of sanity and high level of cruelty of people who can't reason things soundly before rushing to comment.

Precious could be your sister and I'm sure however she got to that man's house whether out of greed or ill-advice wouldn't matter when analyzing the fact that she's now suppose to be called a mother and her kids are simply far away because the man is an emperor.

A mother is in trauma and you can't understand it, simply because your sense of humanity is lost in asshvle jokes, sensation and lousy bandwagon reasoning. I even saw a hoe calling her a bvtch..what an oxymoron from a mvrvn!

Really hurts to see where a society cannot be objective anymore

bluefilm:
This bitch again?

You mean she's writing a letter to kids who can barely read and comprehend?

This is pure psychosis on full display on her part, I must say.

She has totally lost it.

FFK should put her in a psychiatry home asap.

Very strong words you are throwing about carelessly.

okeyglm:
look I am geologist ok, distance from ajali formation to Mamu formation where Enugu city is located is less than 3km. even though part of ajali entered into abakpa by ugbene 2 ugbondafu. I don't want to mention about rivers surrounding Enugu around.

Then you should know that the Mamu formation is predominantly coaliferous and overlies the more viable Ajali formation for a considerable part close to the city. Hence why the piping will have to come from further out.
We are not talking about a few hundred people here, we are talking supplying sustainable water for over a million.
By rivers I hope it's not Ekulu you have in mind, because that dries out during dry season in most parts. In fact it was siphoned away when trans Ekulu bridge was built.

These animals will be hunted to extinction.
What a pity.

okeyglm:
Enugu is surrounded by water. the technology is there. what is lacking is willingness, without siphoning money.

Which water?
You haven't given any answers.
Just a generic response.
I agree that there is lack of willingness.
Especially with this present government which is crap
However, Enugu presents a unique challenge.

okeyglm:
forget all these stories , I lived there too. water is not a rocket supply, they are not ready to do the right thing.

How will you solve the problem if given the opportunity?

okeyglm:
can you break than the cost here. let them give me the amount 80% of Enugu town will get water in the next months, the pressure pipe is already there.

I can't give you cost implications.
I lived in the city when I was younger and the population was about 5x less. We had uninterrupted tap water.
Water for Enugu is piped from Ajalli the nearest sustainable water works, a distance of 30 km!!, From the city, using large pipes.
Most part of the city had tap water up to early 2000, even now some parts of the city still have running tap water.
With tremendous population growth and city expansion, coupled with non proactive governance, public water supply became unsustainable.
The past government tried to partner with the world Bank to see if they can at least maintain supply to the older parts of the city, which met limited success.
They relaid some pipes and did some test runs but a new government came who had other priorities, I guess the cost implications and lack of dedication make them look the other way.
Solving water problem in Enugu is doable but will be very expensive and will need total dedication.
It is ABSOLUTELY NOT a private individual project.

Simonokeh7:
Is Enugwu the only mountainous city in Nigeria?
When drilling boreholes in Enugu, you have to go deeper than the regular borehole depth used in other places with flat land.
The only problem is that it costs more.

That's not the only problem.
When you get to ground level you hit coal not water. When you even get to water level, there are no aquifers and if you hit any aquifer it is not portable.

okeyglm:
oga that's pure lie , it won't cost 2b naira to get water in the whole of Enugu city.

It will cost a lot more than that

Mummyfour:
The last time I traveled by air, I missed my flight because of that useless " intention please" that that yeye woman will be saying.
I was at the airport 1 hour before boarding.
I was sitting at their departure but I didn't hear when they announced my flight
After like 4 hours, I was complaining that they had delayed the flight only for a concerned passenger to tell they had called the flight..I went to that useless Air peace stand to confirm and lo and behold it was true..I almost died.
I had to pay a " no show" fine.
All my appeals fell on deaf ears and I had to join another air peace flight.
Getting to Lagos, see my luggages that were already on board the flight I missed scattered on the ground, because I wasn't there to claim it.
Thank God nothing was missing..it was a terrible day for me that day honestly.
Air peace no dey try at all and besides isn't it high time they taught that lady that announces flight how to pronounce words properly ?
Wetin be " intention please'? mcheeew

Lol
Sorry you missed your flight but the story funny.
Airpeace is not responsible for the announcements. That's airport staff FAAN.
Rule of thumb when you are traveling by air try and identify one or two people going same route and keep an eye on them. Even if you don't hear they will always alert you.

Well done.
Excellent

It is the only option that is morally right.

Acidosis:
Better to kill animals that were going about their normal lives than rear animals, cage them for months or years with the aim of killing/eating by December. The former killed a stranger while the latter killed a friend.

LoL!
The issue is sustainability.
We can't possibly let all animals roam free. And we can't take from the forest without regulation.
I guess you're being sarcastic.

sleekman:
When will you all learn? This is a deer, not an antelope.

There are no deers in sub-saharan Africa.
These are antelopes.

I hope there is an effort to regulate hunting, otherwise it's a sure path to destruction.

Miyachi:
It wasn't trying to be humorous. I don't know what I don't know and I'm not trying to hide that.

But what I do know is that your conclusion is wrong. There was nothing in his statement to infer that he is saying Fayose is broke. He was just saying "treat your citizenry right, because you're not going to be there forever ". It's that simple. No need to read some convoluted meaning and project your prejudices into someone's statement just to signal your "wisdom".

So summarily, I don't know, you don't know. Only "the fat boy " knows exactly what he meant. But what you said was on another tangent.

Absolutely right
He veered off from the message

ethicallyright:
Any "Nigerian" who has been a fourth republic Governor in Nigeria, even for a month, can buy a Private jet.

Look at Fayose's phone which is captured in his picture on the bike.

A vip direct helicopter shuttle in Nigeria costs not more than NGN 250,000. His phone can pay twice for that if he didn't just want to use the Bike.


Remember the old man in Squid Game? 001? Remember how he craved his youth when he could play with his friends? He had everything but wanted to experience the days of his early beginning.

The fat boy's perception of life is limited, like that of most Nigerians. Those who should build beautiful mansions close to green vegetations as their homes would rather a tiny concrete ugly rat hole in Lekki which has been devastated by lack of good drainage systems, as well as noise and air pollution from its ghetto surroundings just to feel among.

If you don't understand the point in my preceding paragraph, I am trying to state that the Nigerian problem is that Fat Cubana genuinely believes that an ex-governor should not use the road an average Nigerian uses and anything other than that means that the ex-governor is broke.

That is a very wrong mentality from someone who wishes that Nigeria should be restructured to be like the developed society (where a parliamentarian walks with his legs house to house soliciting for votes).

You created a narrative totally different from the message being passed by the person who made the comment.
I don't need to jump on a bike to beat traffic to Heathrow.
I just need to plan my travel time using the regular transport route.
His comment has nothing to do with Fayose being poor but being a victim to the system he failed to fix.

Goahead:
I wouldn't trust a country that builds Peugeot and Citroën to build a critical military hardware in the form of submarines. It will likely spend more time in the workshops than in the ocean.

PSA is the second highest selling brand in Europe.
Peugeot has had the highest number of cars of the year in Europe in the past decade.
What are you on about?

wallrichy:
All road leads to the building of a strong resistance to the eventual threat of China in the indo Pacific areas. France think of the loss of a good deal worth billion of dollars with Ausy while US and UK thinks and quickly cemented a good opportunity to oppose the ravaging threat of China. France is overwhelmingly irritant and selfish to have thought of her Economy first and relegating the National security of Australia and some other smaller countries within the indo Pacific seas and islands. US and UK have made a good deal with Australia in this regards with recourse to having a global world peace.

You are contradicting yourself.
You say France is selfish to have thought of their economy first.
Do you genuinely think US interests are selfless.
