Positive development , all in less than 3 years in an opposition controlled state.

The first assignment of any worthwhile leader in all nigerian states, even high volume oil producing states should be means to increase IGR considerably.

Wonderful news, frontpage material

Middle class increases by 28% in 4 years, and most likely lower class increases by 280% , mtseeeew. So where is the good news?

Alll those plenty children newly born in to poor homes are they not increasing the lower class ?

To those dundees who are celebrating, lets assume the population of nigeria 4 years ago was 100. 7 upper class 15 middle class and 78 lower class. (7 +15+78 =100) After 4 years a 28 % increase in middle class means we now have 19 middle class, an increase of 4 extra people, but the sensible question will be are the number of folks in the lower class now 74 i am sure that is not the case with nigeria.

The lower class is growing at a much faster rate than the growth in the middle class

what s the final decision ?

zynzyn: There we go with away draw mentality again. Why can't we win away like other strong african nations?

A draw in Ethiopia still puts eagles under pressure in the 2nd leg!

A failure to win in Ethiopia would be poor!

Thank you, a draw in ethiopia puts the eagles on severe pressure at the return leg, especially a goalless draw and gives the ethiopians a morale to come for a spoiler, the Ethiopians can easily sit back and play aggressively defensive and place a sole striker upfront with the hope they get one goal from a eagles slip up in calabar. The eagles almost lost to kenya in calabar, thanks to a 92nd minute equaliser by oduamadi.

I watched the highlights of the ethiopia vs south africa 2-1(home(2-1) and away(1-1) world cup 2014 qualifiers, the south africans were doing the playing with superior ball possession, but the ethiopians sat back and stung the the south africans against the run of play.

The eagles must play the october 13 match as if it is the only match that will decide if they will be in brazil 2014 world cup, they must simply go for victory

If your course of study is a 4 year course, wait till the end of your 3rd year, that way you will have stabilised academically, work hard now and create a buffer for a possible dip in grades in your final year. Most final year academic work tend to be less strenuous, apart from research projects

You should not have much trouble , you two love birds will pull it through and have sweet stories to tell your kids and grand kids.

Temple Chinedum: Pls check the pictures again, do you have eye prob?
Didn't you see when she was wearing a LBD then changed to the shirt?

Why are you so aggressive ? . Easy man.

PapaBrowne: If you were wise, you would have asked what year was referenced. Go to CIA Factbook for reference Mr.

Every figure I stated is fact. Even at 2.2 Billion, Rwanda's Budget is still much lower than Rivers Stat budget of $3.01Billion.

I think it is you that lack wisdom, why should i ask you what year was referenced ?, common sense demands that the budget year of the entities you are comparing are the same and most likely the most recent.


To also have a more holistic picture of the situation, you should also ask yourself what structure of governance rwanda practices ?, a decentralised rwanda will most likely mean more strength in the hands of the states/regions/ provinces and correspondingly lesser responsibility for the federal govt. What are the budgets of the provinces in rwanda?

@ op, When making such comparisons, to aid the analysis, you must ensure your data is correct and can be referenced.

You claimed Nigeria's annual budget is 22billion USD , i found out it is 31billion usd.

You claimed Rwanda s annual budget is 1.67billion usd, i found out it is 2.2billion usd http://www.kpmg.com/eastafrica/en/IssuesAndInsights/ArticlesPublications/Documents/KPMG_Rwanda_Budget_Brief_2012.pdf coinmill.com/RWF_USD.html#


what other wrong claims have you made ?

prince FAD: Why will they train for four days in Abuja and travel to addis ababa on the eve of the match?I think this is a bad plan.later if they couldnt win the match,they would be complaining that they couldnt acclamatise enough,that they get tired very easily.They should have go to addisababa to train for at least 3 days before the match

I wonder o, Ethiopia is high altitude, and such terrain requires they get acclimatise, i will like to warn Nigerians who think we will run over ethiopia and advance to the world cup to simmer.

Our qualifying games are not impressive enough, overconfidence might be our undoing.

Nigeria vs Namibia 1-0 , Namibia vs Nigeria 1-1 Nigeria vs Kenya 1-1 , Kenya vs Nigeria 0-1 Nigeria vs Malawi 2-0, Malawi vs Nigeria 1-1.

In four out of the 6 world cup wualifying games, we managed to salvage 2 wins from the jaws of draws in the dying minutes of the games(against kenya and namibia) and 2 draws from the jaws of defeat in the dying minutes of the games (against kenya and namibia)

Musiwa has set the pace for this thread, can the mods hide his comment and that of the other "dundees" quoting him.

Nigeria should play the away match in Ethiopia as if it is the only determinant for our qualification to the world cup.

No draw or loss please, to avoid stories that touch, truth be told Nigeria has not been inspiring in its world cup qualifying games judging by its results.

abagoro: I don't think Roads are actually the true yardstick for measuring performance. Taking pictures of bad roads will only prove that there are lots of bad roads in Anambra but it does not give information on other sectors. Anambra as a State needs improvement in aesthetics and that's the part I've kept criticizing Peter Obi on. Its not all about money but beauty and good life is important as well.

There is a very good relationship between good roads and the "aesthetics"

bankoleben: And you think using NURTW guys to cause mayhem is the way to stop it? Before you deny Fayemi's involvement, we know who the NURTW guys are loyal to, and who sees Bamidele as a threat. Isn't it funny that the Police allowed political thugs have a field day but were quick to disperse MOB supporters?

I've always thought Fayemi is a 'perfect gentleman' but I'm beginning to have a rethink. What is he afraid of?

I am not supporting NURTW actions, many a times NURTW folks can be overzealous to show support and loyalty.

amarilo: Is this 90 days state law of federal. Does it apply to governorship position only. When Amaechi's posters flooded ABJ you guys said on this board that it is his constitutional right to contest why is MOB diff.

The Electoral act governs all elections INEC supervises.

It is the constitutional right of Bamidele to contest, but must not be done to the detriment of the law
This said Bamidele is leading a vehicle procession along the streets of Ekiti with campaign posters and placards.
Pasting of posters is quite different, unknown or unseen individuals can paste posters, who knows if it is Jonathan's camp that are pasting posters of Amaechi.

So the wife of Akwa Ibom Governor will have to register for Lagos State Residency card .

amarilo: Hehehehe funny people. Calling MOB desperate but Amaechi is not.

the MOB has clearly shown he his desperate, you only start campaign 90 days to election., how does that relate to Amaechi?

Why is Bamidele so desperate and stubborn? Why start a campaign that violates the electoral act? Elections in ekiti will hold some time in May/June 2014

I hope the campaign rally organised is recorded, that is enough ground for him to be disqualified. 90 days before election is what is stipulated

INEC only recently cleared candidates for anambra state election of NOV 16 to start campaign .

Sincere 9gerian: You never knew Anambra. I am from the state. I know what it was before and what it is NOW. Anambra is blessed with human resources but in terms of infrastructural development, the state had almost NOTHING at the advent of democracy in 1999. To make matters worse, the EVIL antics of OBJ insisted on imposing unwanted elements on the state even under democratic dispensation, leading to prolonged political crisis and instability. Consequently, Peter inherited a dilapidated state, lacking all BASIC infrastructure and destroyed by erosion. Most of what existed in the state were built by communities. It was like there was a conspiracy to keep the state down. OBJ looked for Dora Akunyili to head NAFDAC because he wanted a good job done in the organisation. But guess who he decided to impose on Anambra people as governor? Andy Ubah. The destruction of the state or the task of keeping the state down was deliberate, well planned and expertly executed.

Anambra is not Lagos or Abuja or even Enugu (former capital of the old Anambra). Anambra is not Akwa-Ibom or Rivers with enormous oil resources. Those of us who know what it was before appreciate what has been done by Peter Obi. Ngige also tried during his 3.5years reign, but that was in terms of road construction. To make matters worse, the political crisis that happened under Ngige led to the destruction of even the very scanty infrastructure in the state. Anambra has moved several step forward and it can only get better.

Sincere9gerian, how did you arrive at 3.5 years duration for Ngige's tenure, I am aware Ngige did not spend up to 3 years as governor in Anambra, he spent roughly 2years and 9 months.

agbameta: I still don't get this picture. Where exactly ambulance go park offload patient and even the roof is falling off, this is more like a death trap instead of Emergency hospital where they save lives..


What a load of absurdity and travesty in 2013...

It looks like it was not initially planned for that, something like a make shift emergency centre.

OMG

See as people of anambra are throwing stones and sticks at Ngige,

Omooba77: LASTMA no dey arrest danfo drivers,I have seen it several times.People claiming sanity of danfo drivers are not sincere.

You sure say na Lagos you dey? go to Lastma yard, and you will laugh at yourself.

It takes very hard and stringent folks like LASTMA to make lagos traffic a bit sane.

Many Lagos drivers behave right for fear of LASTMA

David0: What gives u the impression ur friend passed d test, when u cannot actually confirm d test score and d required cutoff score.
SC Recruitment Team cannot and will not deliberately pend any application, so long ur successful at different stages of the recruitment process, ur sure to be part of SC workforce in time.

You are right, as long as no one knows his/her score and the cut-off score, you can not be sure you passed the test.
Having a first class is not a guarantee that you will meet the required cut-off score.

Nevertheless, after going though your application info, SCB might still reject applications based on other reasons known to them, even when the candidate meets the required cut-off score

Adelaide2: Topic says LASUTH not LUTH. LASUTH is state-owned and it is dilapidated as the article indicates. Quit being blind and/or shifty.

Whatever the topic says is inconsequential, the reporter was talking about teaching hospital in Idi-Araba.

Some dundees like you call LASUTH as LUTH, or viceversa.

I have said it before, those PDP goons are deceiving themselves with pictures of ongoing work , those pictures were taken as far back as dec 2012 during temporary rehabilitation work by julius berger and RCC.

Do not be deceived. They said work have started, because contractors have been mobilised., but i know the real deal.
