Philip is not being reasonable. He should stop fighting Obaseki, allow the governorship go to another senatorial zone and reach a deal with the PDP candidate to support you after his tenure. We know how long Buhari fought to be a president and later won the seat.

That simply is it.
It was agreed from the very first day that the next governor would come from Edo central. Shuaibu knew this and acted as if nothing was happening. Obaseki advised him to forget it.

I think that Shuaibu noticed that Oshiomole had completely eclipsed him in Edo north and wanted to use Oshiomole to regain some semblance of political relevance in Edo north.

Shuaibu was it, who reneged on their agreement and ended the friendship.

Shuaibu must know that power belongs to God. He lost the battle, lost the war. In the history books of Edo state, Obaseki will be there forever as a governor. Shuaibu’s name may never be there.

He should find his way back to the house of reps, if he can, as that is his only escape and way to remain relevant politically.

Lastly, I am of the belief that Obaseki’s choice is better that Oshiomole’s candidate and the PDP will retain the state, no matter who decamps to APC.

On Election Day, we know that voters will not surpass one million as usual, with PDP winning.

He emphasised that, as of his handover in 2011, around 56 companies were at various stages of operation, construction, or interest in the Free Trade Zone. These efforts have led to significant development in the previously rural Igbesa area.
But his successor government stated that only a fence was built on the site by the Chinese firm.

This his statement absolutely contradicts everything the Amosun-led Exco stated and as a matter of fact, Senator Amosun just called the Chinese firm impostors! So who is lying?

EFCC and DSS must quiz everyone involved including the firm and anyone who is established to have broken the law must be prosecuted like FG did in the P&ID criminal case. For now, everyone's assumed innocent.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Now you are seeing it more clearly.

Take a trip to that place in Igbesa and you will be disappointed. When they talk of Ogun state, you’ll very likely be thinking of Ijebu Ode area or such far distances. The area talked about is just after Agbara, off Badagry expressway, on the way to Atan and Ota. It is undeveloped. Even Gbenga Daniel’s claim of 56 companies operating there as at 2011 is incorrect. It was a complete virgin area as of 2011. Infact lands around there were sold for 100K a plot as of then, with the incomplete perimeter fence around the place.

You again would wonder why Gbenga Daniel chose that particular area, which is so far away from the sea port, with horrible roads difficult for trucks, to site such a project.

Amosun’s statement clearly lays the blame at his own doorstep. He admitted not reading the report handed over by Gbenga Daniel, discarded the original company and handed over to this particular group. Now it has become that Nigeria is indebted to China, rather than that Ogun state is indebted to a Chinese company.

Can we doubt if it is claimed that money exchanged hands to cancel the initial contractor, knowing the way transactions of this nature are conducted in our country? Is it not embarrassing that the aircrafts belonging to the President were seized? Can that happen to the Chinese President?

Amosun did not call the troublesome company impostors please. He accused them of not going by the terms of the contract and leaving the place uncompleted. Take your time to read and read it again.

Rubbish.

That’s alright.

Sadly Lagos should have been far much more developed than what is experienced presently. Its position first as the federal capital and presently as the commercial capital should have been an advantage for the leaders of the past and present to develop it much more than it presently is.

A look at the income in Lagos state, which is far higher than those of other states, says everything. One cannot but question the leaders past and present, military leaders and political leaders. It is so sad when corruption and massive looting of the state has rendered it far behind certain great cities of other African nations.

By now, Lagos should be competing with Johannesburg, Tunis, Rabat and Cairo in terms of development. Even it appears that Kagali in Rwanda has surpassed Lagos in terms of infrastructural development.

Aside from building bridges and rail lines, the citizens must be made to live properly and not horribly like we see. Open defarcation, removal of iron rods and heavy metals, wrong disposal of refuse, very dirty roads and streets, poor lighting, damaging of lighting equipments, non replacement of light bulbs, etc, some of all these which are marks of big cities, must be dealt with.

The same goes for the other states, though with far lower economic capacities than Lagos, but can at least be properly developed. A look at developed nations, you”ll find that aside from their big cities which are very well developed, smaller cities and communities are equally well developed and function properly.

The greatest challenge with our country is economic sabotage and the massive looting of the little left in the common purse. Unfortunately too, citizens eulogize the horrible political leaders who make life miserable for them.

Government is there to make life better for citizens. It is not your duty as a citizen to perform the responsibilities of the government. For example, it is not your duty to construct roads or fix potholes. It is the duty of government. If government officials fail with that, simply vote then out. If they fail with health, education, agriculture, vote them out and stop collecting bribes to keep them in power. If they loot your money and it is proven, vote them out.

He was confused, lost, deceived, discovered Jesus and rediscovered his truly identity.

Praise God for saving him.

PressMyButton:
I knew Peoples Gazzette and dumb Obidients will always find a way to twist and manipulate the headlines to satisfy the hoardes of headless mobs. Rather than read the context of an article with clear understanding, they'd rather pander to sensationalism. The reason your brain becomes obselete when you bow down to Kanu to lick his urine.

Ode.
Noting more, nothing less.

Ebubu2:
Look at them celebrating an uncompleted project

Good governance has taken a back seat in Anambra

Do you know that Ebubu means mumu?

VikingKing:
Crude as the method is, people are trying to survive. If you go round Nigeria looking for a Saint before you can help, I bet you, you won't find a single one. So just do what you must and let their conscientious judge them. That way, you would've taught them a lesson they won't quickly forget. None of us is truly righteous.

Survival or wickedness added to greed and foolishness?

The man would have gifted 20k. The irresponsible woman lost the agreed amount and the unexpected windfall. If the man told her his real intention, she would be swearing at herself.

There are too many decent, honest and hardworking Nigerians everywhere you go, whose economic situation never diminishes their pride and integrity. Or do you not read in the news about those who were rewarded for return millions of Naira or dollars misplaced by their owners?

It is sad that some have allowed greed overtake their sense of reasoning.

If he did not have his camera on, they would have ripped him off, after his act of kindness. Yeye people!

GeneralPula:
Which one be cries out..

How Ogun state matter vs a Chinese private company take concern FG is what I’m yet to get..

Or how has Ogun state turned out to be the whole of Nigeria, leading to the seizure of assets belonging to the whole country?

Sonnobax15:

Wicked mother

Just imagine how the witch would have tarnished the innocent nurse image for life,and would have gone to jail for crime she didn't commit...

God really saved her and I'm so glad for her.

Not in anyway s wicked mother, but a woman desperate to see her child live. Even if the child stopped breathing in her mum’s hands, she still had some hope that something could be done. It was a very sad and painful situation. The nurse also had reason to celebrate in the sad situation.

In all, an autopsy would have exonerated the nurse.

These things happen all over the world.

It’s so sad and so painful. May God console the family. And God protect the nurse and give her more wisdom and insight.

Augustine2244:
And how's that any of your business?

It’s not my business in anyway.
You mentioned several countries as if you had visited them all.

Bros, na pose you dey pose?
Are you Mr. Alan Poser?

Just imagine that?

Augustine2244:
Switzerland, Romania,US, Russia all have churches but you will never hear of noise pollution caused by churches there.
Why do Nigerian churches and mosques take things to the extreme?
Saudi Arabia, other Arabic speaking countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Muslim parts of India, Brunei, Turkey all have thousands of mosques yet you can never hear of noise pollution caused by them.
The government at all levels should be very strict with making laws guiding the activities of the churches and mosques.
Noise making doesn't show the holiness of a church or mosque.
There are noise making churches and mosques mostly populated by witches, wizards and Occultic men and women.

Have you been to any of the countries that you mentioned?

Sonnobax15:

Good .

I wish the Delta state gun-vernment can replicate the same thing here,cuz how only me go dey share boundaries with 3 different churches? . The annoying part is that they all have their own days for their mid-week service from Tuesday to Friday,then lastly on Sunday.........As in,I Don tire.

But the good thing is that,since I packed into this apartment,I never get any encounter with any witches and wizards . Perhaps cuz of the churches all around me

So which one do you prefer?

A. Witchcraft night and day visitations, along with visible and invisible marks over your body, bad dreams and daily frustrations?

B. Church surrounding with gospel and heavenly songs to enable you have peace of mind; free of marks on your body and filed with joy; plenty of noise day and night?

If B is your option, please let us send some saxophone to help with the musical enjoyment.

MIKOLOWISKA:
it doesn't say anything

Then you did not read it.

That’s the way to go.
Hopefully the handlers should not delay with follow up each time reports are made.

OP, what’s the situation with the kidnap victims in Nkpologwu? Have they been released?

I pray that Anambra state begins to breathe some fresh air and peace completely restored.

Pakistan - one of the most dangerous countries for normal people to live.

I think the drop in inflation is not caused by any real government effort. We all know that we have arrived the harvest season for farmers, so we expect farm products to begin to arrive in cities in large scale between now and October.

Again, we all know that the price of flour has not reduced, not to talk of oil, sugar and petrol.

Kobojunkieee:
There is no record of this man working or creating any product in all of his life or running any profitable company in or outside of Nigeria before entering into politics. Dino was a career politician.

Read the below to clear your doubts.

Nice.

Lagos LGAs should actually get more than this based on the huge responsibilities our LGAs carry in Lagos.

In most of the other states, LGAs hardly do anything and their workers hardly come to office! They just come at month end and share the allocations

Please tell us what the responsibilities are that are different from what other local government have.

Local government workers report to their offices accordingly as they are sanctioned for failing. Please tell us what some of the local governments in Lagos bring to the national purse that is better than what Port harcourt local government or oil rich local governments contribute.

By the way, where are evidences of the “huge responsibilities” carried by LGAs in Lagos? Where are the infrastructures put in place by LGAs? Or are you talking about tiny public toilets or pako bridges?

Your prayer should simply be that with the release of funds directly into their purses, going forward, local governments can make better use of them and show their inputs.

LegendHero:
Nice one. As it should be.

Most of the Lagos LGA chairman are doing perfectly well as some of them are executing projects that governors from other states dare not venture into.

I’m sure aura for aura, a LG chairman in Lagos has more project than Abia state governor.

How some of you comment without common sense beats imagination.

With Lagos having so many local governments at the top financially, how do you expect developments to be at the same level? When you referred to Abia state, why did you not mention Osun state where Atakumosa received 1.8b. Why not mention Ekiti state or look out for local government areas in Jigawa, Kebbi or Yobe, where the local governments are poor?

You blindly avoided the fact that the development of Lagos is uneven with the development of other states. Give the same resources to poor local government chairmen with integrity and see the difference.

If you are not ashamed, you should ask the local government chairmen in Lagos what they have been doing with their funds. Go to Ojo and you will be ashamed. Go to Ajeromi/Ifelodun and you will bow your face in shame.

Very fantastic observation.

The next would be in prison when he is arrested.

Bobloco:
It shall never be well with those who worked, supported and encouraged this calamitous APC regime to power

Infact OP did not give the correct information regarding the price difference.

About 10 years ago, a bag of flour went for approximately 4,000:00 (four thousand naira only), depending on the flour brand. It is easily verifiable with any old baker or flour dealer.

Exactly one year ago, a bag of flour went for about 48,000:00, depending on the brand.

Tinubu appeared and everything went haywire. Infact, flour has become scarce with many distributors unable to receive products, not to talk of selling to retailers. A bag goes for between 66K and 68K. We all know the story of eggs in the market. The minimum for a crate of eggs now is 4,500:00, with some selling a crate of eggs for 6,000;00.

Please help us beg Tinubu and all APC supporters to have mercy on the country. How can they keep telling us that IGR increased and yet we cannot find value with the increase?

We can no longer get our favorite meatpies at good rates. Good meatpies now are priced at 1,000 and above. Even our favorite soft drinks are fast become a mirage, with a bottle of coke going for 400 naira.

Wetin we do APC abeg?

emkz:
I am talking about Indian girls in foreign countries. I have not been to India myself.

So which of the Indian girls are you talking about please?

emkz:
Indian girls are mostly approachable, homely and polite.

I think Indian boys committing these atrocities have no game or are mentally disturbed.

Approachable to who? Africans? If you are talking about Africans in India, then you are mistaken. As an African, if you are not very careful around their ladies, the men attack you with cricket sticks, smashing your head!

It is sad that Indian men rate their women as next to nothing. No wonder that against standard cultural practices, the women pay the dowries on their men.

So many get away with it in India. Hopefully someday, they can make either death or public castration the penalty for this evil and violent act.

What a funny excuse by the state government. If they are not Lagosians, then did they descend from the moon? What you sow, you reap.

Buba Marwa as the governor of Lagos dealt with the menace of agberos and touts effectively and efficiently. Infact, they vanished completely, as many of them were shot on sight or arrest. Lagos was totally free of them until one baba became the governor in 1999. The rest is history, as they say, with touts and agberos used by politicians to secure their political seats and positions.

Without doubt, Lagos state government knows what to do to put an end to this menace. There is no peace in the markets, streets, bus stops, public places, etc, with these set of human dregs of the earth. They boast that their oga is in power and they appear to be propped by some powers that we cannot describe. Infact they have elevated themselves to place barriers - just like policemen - on major roads to collect tolls from bus drivers in the mornings.

Why not copy from Buba Marwa and see if the menace will not become history in a matter of days? Infact Marwa as the governor, effectively ended roaming the streets of Lagos with cows in 1996. Copy from him and let there be some form of control in Lagos.

vengertime:
Poultry business should be left for big companies enough with this nonsense with small farms trying to monopolies the market for their own good.

Enough is enough

And so owners of small farms should starve?
You get sense o.
I hope you have stopped eating eggs and other poultry products?

And by the way, the word is not “monopolies” as written by you.

But the bill was discarded today, so there’s nothing from it anymore.

Mumu talk

Wait until you are 51 and then ask yourself what you achieved with your own life.

We must not forget that other nationals are able to possess Nigerian passports easily.

There are too many West, East and Central African nationals who possess Nigerian passports.

Anyway, obtaining citizenship and passports of other countries illegitimately must not be tolerated in any form.
