mej67: Why do you always miss the point? Unemad! Unemad!
Abuja is not Enugu nor Lagos nor Ekiti.
Abuja is the centre of the federation. A federation is made up of federating units. It is a federation of the federating units. Our federation is made up of States. They are the ones that should have their economy, you bozo.
Who gave you that phone or laptop? Or have you been smoking something, Unemad?!
In proper fiscal federalism, Enugu's revenue will be retained and a littlle portion sent to the centre. That was how we started in the days of the regions. It was the greed of the Housa/Fulani that led to over centralisation making the federal look like the action point.
Ordinary motor park touts (pigs by Spyder880) have it all arranged. The NURTW Ibadan branch has the resources. Enugu, Ekiti , etc. They retain their park collection dues and make remittances (small proportion) of their proceeds to NURTW national headquarters. That Office at the centre needs do nothing but appropriate what is remitted from the fringes (the federating units)
Let me tell you why you are a complete washout, not deserving of a biafran name:
1. "U talk of oil windfall. Let me ask u. How much is Enugu state budget?"[/i] Enugu State budget can be as large as we want it to be. It is small today because the bozos whom you serve and work with have no idea of how to grow local economy which is the recipe for higher IGR. If our IGR is N1tr, Enugu State budget will be N1tr plus what comes from Abuja.
2. "Our biggest natural resource we cannot touch."[i] I take it to mean coal, right? Why can't you touch it? Play by the rules of the land, onukwu! Anambra floated an Oil Company, not only got allocation of oil well right in the State but also got approval fro refinery. Are you there? Float a power plat, request for rights to your coal, dig it up yourself and sell power to fed government. How does that sound? Probably, you won't comprehend, cos you only know govt is working when a paver is moving up down your street pouring dust on you.
Meanwhile, meanwhile, who tells you coal is Enugu's biggest resources?? Our rich agricultural land is, buffoon.
Price of crude oil is crashing (instigated by USA), but price of PKO (perm kernel oil) is on the rise on international market. It take local indigenous technology to harness Palm oil and PKO. Google Malaysia right now and tell me what you see. Plam fuits taken from your papa's palm is what they have used to grow.
Summary, there is something called mass hypnotism. It is the cause of your jaundiced perseption and I won't lie to you. It is a difficult disease to cure. Ignorance and illiteracy are easier because its like starting from zero. Someone with that disease is like starting from minu 50, depending on how deep it is rooted.
Unemad, you lack grey matter and you are in advanced stage of that disease. Is any of these Chimes or Chimas fault?
You have actually made some genuine points but you also fail to realise the reality on ground.
Nigeria still has a very long way to go, we need to start somewhere. We may be resource rich but we are still a poor country.
Chime defined his priorities when he came into office which included revamping of the state capital with upgrading of roads , security and I believe provision of potable water.
He vehemently stuck his goals and has largely achieved it.
He did not deceive himself by claiming to be able to solve every problem of the state, rather he looked at his budget and set realisable goals which he pursued.
Now he has succeeded in creating a fairly conducive environment which has even put Enugu on the world map. No one will want to do business in an insecure environment with rundown infrastructure.
Government is a continuum and it is left for the next gov to even take the state further.
I hate eulogising politicians and I acknowledge that Chime is very far from perfect.
mej67: @Centje you know this is a big fallacy and I'm sure you know I will pick it out when you spew it.
Chime stopped fighting when he lost all. ALL I said. He lost out, forget that lame repacking of the greatest loser in Enugu politics by his lame aides who could offer no help to him, even a lame one. Amaka is a Diaspora dunce, I hope you know. She was recruited to open doors of international investment and aid into Enugu. What did she achieve? If she did her work, Chime wouldn't be borrowing billions in dying minutes. Amaka sat and Ekweremmadu defeated Chime in Diaspora Enugu election. Together with Jude Akubuilo. Now he has also defeated him at home. You see have the facts and figures. There is no nobility in Chime. Its just a shame. See the problem. Chime is surrounded by buffoons and defended by re-tarded chimps like you.
Why are you wasting eye shadow on a corpse, Centje? Chime: Dead he is for sure and fast proceeding to political rigor mortis. Just free us, abegi.
What was your noble Chime looking for seeking to go to the Senate? Was that not avarice? Someone who despises people and practically locked himself in inside the government house and who did nothing for his people of west district, just doing Enugu big boy and paving, painting and studding Enugu city center streets while his wine tapper kith and kin of Udi continue to clime and fall to their death from palm trees. What is Udi know for and how has he helped to modernise or progress it?
Please educate yourself by reading the real gist under the right heading below. Lame face-mending cannot assuage the disaster for which Chime connotes today -a disaster long predicted, anyway:
PDP Senatorial Tickets: Govs Uduaghan, Chime Forced Out By Power Play
As the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) begins its primaries to choose its candidates for the National Assembly elections, an intense powerplay, intrigues and upsets have forced two frontline governors to abandon their senatorial ambitions. Barely 48 hours to the party’s senatorial primaries, governor of Delta State, Emmanuel Uduaghan and his Enugu State counterpart, Sullivan Chime, lost in the power tussle in the state.
Myluv1: There is nothing like being too religious, it is rather being realistic and practical. Here's a quote from an article:
And that was what happened last Friday when Obiano doled out the sum of N1.9billion to mission schools in the state for the 2014 UBE projects- N433 million Catholic and N300 to the Anglican while N1.082 billion is in the custody of Anambra State UBE Board for funding public primary and junior secondary education. Governor Obiano said the fund allocated to each mission was based on the number of schools that government had returned to them. He confirmed that funds released to the Church by his predecessor were judiciously utilized which encouraged his administration to sustain the policy.
Continue..
I absolutely love your analysis.
Not only are more schools owned by the churches, they also display a much higher level of transparency in utilising the funds.
Enugu is one of the Nigerian cities that has continually redefined itself.
It has survived even through periods of good and bad governance.
The natural beauty of its hills and valleys and the vast expanse of land (with accommodating natives) which surrounds it and makes it readily expandable is an added advantage.
The script has been written for part 2 Ebola Nollywood movie to be played out before Nigerians around Elections time.
Ebola would return to Nigeria in time for 2015 elections.
Mark my words.
[size=25pt]Important Public Service announcement:[/size]
Fellow Nigerians and Africans:
The white man is stealthily waging a war against us and most of us are blissfully unaware of this.
[size=18pt]The use of hoax deadly viruses to economically exploit and to depopulate Africa by using fear and panic to coerce Africans to take poisonous medications and vaccines .[/size]
HIV and Ebola do not exist.
Don't believe me? Please do not read any further and immediately google "Ebola hoax" and "HIV/AIDS hoax "
The treatment of HIV /AIDS is what up to now they have been using to depopulate millions of African and profiting the white man.
By selling us condoms he is even taxing us every time we have sex.
Ebola is the "new HIV"
The so-called Ebola outbreak is a psychological terrorism using hundreds of paid actors across dozens of countries including the corrupt W.H.O. who is founded by members of the same foundation/Think Tank advocating for global depopulation (Rockefeller Foundation)
The white man who has been trying to wipe us out for centuries found these two deadly diseases amongst our people both in 1976 and we are not sceptical?
As the oldest race in the world we have survived probably hundreds of thousands of years without any deadly disease, yet our genocidal enemy just happens to be in our midst when he discovers not one but 3 deadly viruses in our midst all in resource rich regions of Africa all in one year (1976) HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Marsburg virus. The odds of this being true are so low that it would be fair to conclude it is impossible.
Fellow Africans the white man has unfinished business with us. He wants our total destruction (by stealth) all because we are sitting on the natural resources he wants.
We do not have a government to protect us so do not rely or depend on it. Unfortunate the imperialist seem to have captured and held our government hostage by whatever means, such that they do whatever they are told to do. Case in point the fake Ebola crisis that played out for some weeks in Nigeria. Which is likely to re-emerge to add to the terror that is being inflicted on us.
White imperialist nations has been conducting a stealth war against us for decades if not centuries to wipe us without success. Lets not forget the lessons of how he destroyed the native Americans, The Amazonian Indians, The Aborigines, Natives of New Zealand all of whom he as virtually wiped out and dispossessed them of their land and resources.
Make no mistake a deadly stealth war is being waged against Africans and all their descendants.
We need to fight this war starting by first getting ourselves enlightened. We do not have a government that can protect us so it is going to be every man for himself.
[size=18pt]Looming Crisis in Nigeria that has been engineered by imperialist nations to occur in Nigeria[/size]
We in Nigeria have been set up experience wicked, punishing hardship, unrest and killings by agents of the imperialists white man in the coming weeks.
The CIA sponsored paid mindless thugs called Boko Haram as already started to set the country on fire.
It is rumoured that the imperialist white man is planning to set this country ablaze in the biggest smash and grab operation the white man has ever carried out in Africa.
By fomenting sectarian killings and unrest it is suspected that the imperialist America may send in troops on the pretext of securing peace, but what ultimately they may be planning is to break Nigeria into several weakling nations with puppet leaders and in the process grab and secure all the resources-rich areas for themselves to steal our natural resources.
Fellow Nigerians because of this imminent violence that is about to explode, I suggest that you start making plans for the protection and if necessary for the evacuation of your families to safer areas or villages.
Prices of everything is going to double. Oil prices is in free fall all has been calculated and designed by America ( who has power to control oil prices and Nigeria's inflation rate) to add hunger to fuel the fire .
[size=18pt]What You Can Do To Protect Yourself And Your Family[/size]
As mentioned earlier: Start making immediate security plans to protect and or evacuate your family to known safe areas in the event of outbreak of murderous violence.
remember to avoid all vaccines produced by the imperialist white nations. Not Ebola, HIV, measles stop taking any vaccines.
Do not take up any offers of free medical health checks from their NGOs, Reject their family planning. Find other ways to protect ourselves from contagious diseases.
Rather than use the condoms manufactured by the imperialist white man which contain toxic chemicals that can damage your health, save money on condoms and we should make our own or abstain from unsafe sexual practices such as casual penetrative sex including penetrative sex with sex workers and anal sex .
Stop eating foods and consuming any products imported from imperialist countries. Start growing your own food.
Stop smoking cigarettes, chewing gum, using deodorant or toothpaste and other toiletries from imperialist nations.
Ladies, you are their special targets. You are the people that are going to deliver our next generation so you would be targeted.
Be very sceptical of any free medical health checks from their "charity NGO". They would like to make you unhealthy and ultimately infertile. Consider getting make-up and other hair products and toiletries from other sources.
Lets all utilise locally produced products that we can trust or from trustworthy countries.
The best way for us to fight this war is to boycott every product produced by these imperialist countries that we are able to do without or find other sources.
Educate yourselves about how vaccines are being used to depopulate us.
Please share share share (NL would not be allowed to put this thread on the front page) So please share it at least once daily and like every positive post.
Start this thread on other social media: facebook' twitter' instagram etc. Also go into my profile and follow me.
[size=18pt] Finally to help to protect yourselves from at least some of the hardship that is coming your way, as the Naira continues to free fall take the following advice very seriously: With immediate effect if you have any savings withdraw it all and use it to buy any asset you could re-sell later at a much higher price after the devaluation has bottomed out.[/size]
[b]Ebola is a hoax - the intention is to terrorise our population into panicking and taking deadly vaccines which America world profit massively by selling to our govt and which would be then used to depopulate us. Those that do not die from the vaccine would become infertile and unable to conceive children.
You have been warned; Take this Ebola vaccine that is surely coming your way soon, at your own peril.
This doctor Dr Adadevoh, (or rather the actor pretending to be this doctor) I can guarantee you she is not dead. In fact her name is a fake name and would not match the name of the Woman whose photo they are telling us is her. [img]http://obamadiary.files./2014/11/adadevoh.jpg?w=453&h=530[/img] There is no such person as Dr Adadevoh. The lady photographed is a paid actor?
Why don't someone prove me wrong and show me a facebook or twitter presence or even a mere web presence for this so called senior doctor that supposedly headed a department in a large Lagos hospital.
Shut me up by good by showing me a mere web presence for her prior to the Ebola crisis.
For that matter find any web presence (prior to so called Ebola outbreak) for Patrick Sawyer the so called Liberian government minister that brought Ebola to Nigeria.
Why would Nigeria participate in a hoax against its own people? Because through blackmail using IMF and World Bank loans and our corruptible leadership, Nigeria has virtually surrender its sovereignty to America who can dictate to Nigeria any policy it wants it to implement; Including the deception and terrorism of its own citizens.
The youtube video below using the words of a former CIA agent who wrote the book:" The Economic Hitman" would clarify my point for you.
Ebola has always been in the medical curriculum right from the 70s when it was discovered. There are other hemorrhagic fevers like Marburg, Lassa, yellow fever etc which are similar to Ebola.
It wasn't just cooked up yesterday, it has been there.
It is extremely callous and insensitive for you too say that Dr Adadevoh an internist who had been working at first consultant for long while was a fraud who never existed.
Naijasinglegirl: Mid last week, my temperature was running high and since I am clearly not a fan of hospitals, I thought it was best to limit myself to the confines of my room until the sickness disappears but my mom was having none of that. She dragged me to the hospital. My first reaction when I got there was "WTH! This is crowded." I signed up for a medical consultation and found a place to sit.
After 3 hours of waiting, the bad tempered nurse at the reception area called my name.
Thank God, I thought.
Before she let me into the doctor's office, she put me on a height scale, weight scale and proceeded to pump my BP.
"Nurse, Its just fever not a modelling audition. Are all these necessary?" I asked giggling. She frowned at me and increased the pressure till the friction numbed my arms. That was her way of telling me to shut the hell up.
I was not surprised to say the least. Its no news some Nigerian female nurses are far from polite. Especially those ones with big buttocks that are always roaming from ward to ward with a tray of injections, looking for an innocent patient to stab. Like someone said on twitter, its only in Nigeria the nurses would wake you up from sleep to give you sleeping pills. When I got into the examination room, I was expecting some sort of gadget to be used on me but everything was done MANUALLY. The doctor even used his palm to gauge my temperature rather than a thermometer.
Oshey baddest doctor!!!
"So what is wrong with you?" He asked. "That is your job doctor. If I knew I wouldn't be here." No, that was not my reply. Clearly in Nigerian hospitals, you are expected to diagnose your problem in your house so you don't waste the doctor's time at the hospital.
"Fever." I replied.
For all I know it could be a fever disguising as TB. God Forbids! A cancerous fever. God Forbids! A brain tumour fever. God Forbids!! Ebola Fever. God Forbids!!!
But no, not in our hospitals. The first rule they operate in is, "All facts surrounding a fever must be twisted and twisted until the final diagnosis reads MALARIA."
Now I made his job easier, he began manipulating my replies.
"How is it doing you?" He asked. Na wa o. See question. I used my palm to massaged my chin for a few seconds and then I said, "Its doing me somehow oh." "You have headache?" "No" "Loss of appetite?" "I guess." "Cough?" "No." "Cold?" "Small." He turned to my mom this time. "Madam, she has malaria!" He exclaimed.
*sigh* As usual. Don't we all?
It seemed he forgot to ask me when last I saw my period in his line of questions. My heart broke some years back when a malaria diagnosing doctor threw the question at a twelve year old Naijasinglegirl. The only diagnosis these doctors are good at making are malaria, pregnancy and HIV.
All my life, whenever I go to the hospital, I always return home with the same malaria declaration after the doctor has assessed me MANUALLY. Sometimes when the doctor is in a good mood, he takes my hard earned blood and upgrades me to typhoid. This is the reason my dad almost bundled me to a native doctor when a medical doctor told him the chances of his fragile 5-year old Naijasinglegirl surviving malaria were 20:80. At least native doctors have high-tech equipment like a calabash for skyping with sango, a speaking mirror and no-nonsense oracles. Even when I roll into the hospital from the expressway with green blood dripping from my nose, blue mucus dripping from my mouth and down syndrome attitude, Its still malaria!
Back to our story. It was time for drug administration. My favourite part where the doctor gets to clear the shelves of the in-house pharmacy for me. The closer the drugs are to their expiration date, the more generous he gets. Five transparent nylon of drugs were given to me. First contained several tablets of paracetamol, second contained those medium size multi vitamins, third contained more than twenty tiny yellow tablets, fourth contained a green coloured anti malaria tablets and the last one, orange vitamic C.
"Take all of it. Directives are on the pack for your dosage." The doctor commanded.
All ke? He didn't even have conscience. That was when I gave into a hysterical laughter. I laughed to the point that I felt the fever leaving me in annoyance.
When I walked back to the reception, I wanted to grab a mic to announce to the impatient prospective patients to return home. After all, their problem is either pregnancy or malaria. Finally home, it was time for me to be my own doctor as usual. I tossed everything into my trashcan except for my vitamic C which became my hourly tomtom.
Until our health care system improves, I know what to do when sickness strikes again.

As much as i detest corrupt individuals,i can never be so 'bad-belle'-proned not to consider fact over emotion
Because some of you were not born or were infants in the 80s didnt mean we who were around and know a bit of the past should not try to correct you whenever you try to deceive the gullible here
If you are tellling me a man who had run a Multi-billion dollars Oil and Gas company after working at Shell( it is the same company another Billionaire in Adenuga bought) will be a pauper today,then you should check your head
It is morally irresponsible for the daughter of the governor of a state where more than half live below poverty level,to be flaunting a N3 million dress.
soroptimist: You see what we are saying about people who always 'put hand for head' whenever they read sensational news like this
Ajimobi was a Billionaire before getting into politics having being an MD/CEO of National Oil in the 80s.......mind you it is that National Oil that Ajimobi was its MD,that Mike Adenuga bought over and renamed CONOIL
The same with Ibikunle Amosun,who had been an External Auditor for Mobil as well as several Multi-National companies before joining politics
Deshannel: How much are these cars?? are they better than the regular/cheaper fairly used we buy? why bother get a new car when I can get a neatly used Toyota Avalon for 900k or thereabout?
Heard they are within the price range of affordable fairly used vehicles.
Besides when you buy a new car you are helping the economy unlike buying a fairly used car.
New cars also come with a service plan most of the time and if Innoson does what he says in the article - provision of service centres nationwide, then one can be rest assured of genuine spare parts and good mechanics.
spyder880: Christmas is starting early here.........
Wow! This is great, Enugu is expanding on a daily basis. Dividends of a suitable environment. I really hope whoever takes over from Sullivan does not relent.
