maclatunji: The ACN is a right-wing party. It believes in Capitalism as the pivot for economic growth and development and sees effective taxation as the primary source of government revenue. In essence, an ACN/APC controlled Nigeria is likely to be efficient in the provision of infrastructure such as electricity, roads, health etc. There would be increased taxation with initial resistance from labour unions and the lower classes.A visit to the website of most Nigerian Parties will reveal their core ideology. To say "no Nigerian political party to this day has a political phylosophy" , as Mikeansy does, is totally false and ridiculous . http://www.acnigeria.com/about-acn Our PartyI also believe, like you, the ACN will manage Nigeria much better than the PDP at the centre because of the core ideology of the Party and the policies and innovation we see initiated at State level. This is not difficult to discern if one looks at issues as a political 'aficionado'. The problem is that many Nigerians simply refuse to views things truthfully and dispassionately. This is mainly because they are highly sentimental, politically unsophisticated and fully devoted to sectional interests/affiliation above the notion of siding with what is right, developmental and desirable. |
Free trade zone The airport will also aid the free trade zone being established in Osun primarily to provide investors with a chance to trade without heavy tax burdens. Transportation is essential to the success of free trade zones. Presumably, the activities of the FTZ would means opportunities exist for goods and passenger transportation. |
mikeansy: Just for the records APC at this moment has no phylosophy and neither did ACN. In fact no Nigerian political party to this day has a political phylosophy.Are you not tired of repeating this lie? You say this same thing all the time but it simply is not true. Nigerian Parties all have core ideology and administrative/political philosophy they identify with even if most make a poor job practising the theory behind their political ideology. I know many Nigerians have a casual disdain for many things to do with Nigeria even if they will never admit so and this your false statement demonstrates that. It is no different to many Nigerians, perhaps themselves scantily educated and guilty of ignorance, calling Nigerian leaders "illiterate" when many of our leaders are actually well-educated achievers. Whatever our views of others, we should endeavour to operate with established facts always. Saying Nigerian Parties have no philosophy is outright false. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Congress_of_Nigeria_(ACN) Action Congress Of Nigeriahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism Classical liberalism |
maclatunji: I am certain he will try to do this. The big question is: how will Nigerians react to it ?It will be very problematic to achieve a rigged win in 2015. . Already, there is real rancour and bad-blood attached to 2015 and I think any result/winner would possibly face serious and violent resistance. The politicians, instead of subscribing themselves to a democratic test of popularity, are behaving in sabre-rattling ways that indicate serious mayhem may be unavoidable. Rigging will surely ensure chaos in an atmospshere which is very tense already. |
Tourism continued. Also note that there is a formal and organised effort in place to boost tourism through the O'Tour scheme. http://www.osundefender.org/?p=101568 O’ Tour Is Meant To Showcase Osun Culture – DaniyanO'Tour on facebook. Flagging off ceremony. https://en-gb.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=143189239093119&set=a.143184469093596.37997.140006606078049&type=1&theater |
Sincere 9gerian: The OP says the Osun state govt is building Osun International Airport, and that the aircraft maintenance facility will be completed next year and international flights will also commence next year. No mention was made of cargo terminal.You're never an expert in anything yet would it kill you to do some basic research before you come here to talk ignorantly? The airport will have allowance for Cargo and passenger transportation. It is a medium-scale airport. The "international" merely reflects how the airport will cater for passenger flight to and from airport destinations with "international" appendage to their name. Flights, for example, could be between Ido-Osun and Murtala Mohammed international airport. http://www.osundefender.org/?p=5091 The reporter’s findings in the Processing Unit, State Ministry of Finance indicated that an amount of money, over N4 billion had been pumped into the reactivation work to remake the Ido-Osun airport into a General Aviation which serves all types of aircraft, business, charter and private aircraft as well as scheduled air taxis which carry passengers between towns, and to and from commercial service airports with the word international in their names.Now, to deal with the need for the airport. Tourism. Good administrators plan for their own specific reality, endowment, challenges expectations and targets. Aregbesola wants the airport to serve the planned free trade zone and to boost socio-economic progress. For example, far more can be made of Osun's tourism potentials in regards to how the State is a historic geographical destination definitive of the essence of Yoruba culture. If a formal approach is taken to tourism that effectively and adequately deal with the challenges of transportation, healthcare, hospitality, security et al then tourism could be immense considering that those affiliated with or even respectful of Yoruba culture (From Brazil to Cuba et al) would wish to visit the Osun Osogbo shrine. The Osun Osogbo shrine is listed by Unesco as very important to Yoruba culture and Aregbesola feels this holds great tourism potential same ways historical spots worldwide (Taj Mahal, Stonehenge and many others) are attractive tourist destinations in their own right. Tourism can be immense for Osun if other factors that currently under-develop the sector are dealt with. This is what Aregbesola is doing. Effectively, as as example, package tours could be arranged featuring flights to MMIA from anywhere in the world and then a connecting flight to Ido-Osun. I have personally watched Ghana grow her tourism sector over the past 14 years admirably from one bringing in a comparatively negligible amount to a money maker that now contributes billions of dollars to the Ghanaian economy. For what Yoruba culture is, one of the last vestige that pays homage to it will surely be a big attraction if marketed correctly and work is done to ensure the expectations of even the fussiest tourist/holiday-maker can be met. Aregbesola would be a fool if he cannot plan for what his State, because of it's natural endowment, can achieve through tourism. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1118 Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove |
Sibrah: There is no offense in leaving some school the way they are until the funds to fix them become available. Atleast, he hasn't borrowed, so it is safe to say he is planning to reconstruct these schools as the funds come in and avoid paying interest.These guys, obviously working to budget constraint and access to funds, all have solid plans. Oyo will build three model schools in each senatorial district of the state that will serve as the prototype for public schools to be built in the State. http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/oyo-to-boost-education-with-three-model-schools/ Oyo to boost education with three model schools |
Below, is a relatively brief and summarised breakdown of Aregbesola's plan for the education sector. What exactly have we not seen come on board to show that this man is a doer who plans, informs the public of his plans and delivers what he has promised? The promised model schools are being constructed, O-meals is ensuring children have balanced and protein rich diet for growth and physical/mental development and the Opon Imo tablets are being delivered. Why will senator Chukwumerije, knowing how ethnocentric and egotistic Nigerians are, not emphatically advise all and sundry to "drop their ego" and learn from what Aregbesola is doing? OP, your thread is an epic fail because Aregbesola is one of the stand-out governors Nigeria has in regards to the education sector. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/in-osun-challenges-fuel-drive-for-infrastructural-devt/ In Osun, challenges fuel drive for infrastructural devt |
Sibrah: ^ I felt the guy could have done better with the 'Opon Imo' project. No doubt about him being a significant improvement over Oyinlola.How could he have done better with it? |
@Topic. Some of these schools were built during the days of Obafemi Awolowo. Administrators after administrators have come and made no real difference. This is to include Oyinlola of the PDP who was Osun's Governor for almost 8 years. Aregbesola came in and stated unequivocally that the pictures we see here represent unacceptable decay. He opined that children could not learn in environment not even fit to raise chickens in. His government therefore decided to do the hard work of demolishing these 'Chicken cages' to replace them with modern model schools. All it takes is a little fact-finding research and we will all see what matters quickly. This year Osun is planning to build around hundreds of model schools to replace the mess on ground. http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/4307-osun-demolishes-3000-public-school-buildings Osun demolishes 3,000 public school buildings |
Sibrah: Aregbe in deep poooooo for acting b4 thinking. He should have focus on adding value in a meaningful way and not neccesarily in a noisy and wasteful way. However i wouldn't blame him on the state of the schools.Dude, I will suggest you do more research before swallowing the lies people sell here daily. Not many Governor can match the deliberate and systematic effort of Aregbesola in the education sector in Nigeria today. His approach is entirely comprehensive and visionary. From feeding school kids to a robust plan for building adequate model schools through to the most sophisticated and modern learning aid, Aregbesola has done things in a manner others should emulate. We can all engage in all these back-and-forth but we all just appear like illiterate when we never wish to listen to the adjudication of the most competent referees. available. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2012/10/chukwumerije-hails-aregbesolas-education-policies/ Chukwumerije hails Aregbesola’s education policies |
anonimi: That is part of the cyber bullying tactics of the ACN lap dogs.Look, stop this weasel-like behaviour and man up. Below, reproduced again, is what Sonny_bobo wrote that Shymexx responded to. Instructive you were not compelled to say anything about the ridiculous utterance yet Shymexx is deserving of your negative comment for responding to what is written which, frankly, is an insult to any proud Yoruba person. The part stating "especially outside the shore of Nigeria" is the most laughable garbage I have ever heard as someone who has lived in the UK for ages. What are you going to be supporting next? The white supremacist drivel of Hitler? Sunny_bobo: |
tawa89: heheheheehe. Quit hiding bro. Show your true bigot colours. We all know its in you and we all are tired of you trying to hide it. I know you must be tired of hiding it too? Huh?Stupid f00l. You are too bigoted to know the difference between your sort ( shameless bigots) and someone defending his origin from unwarranted and nauseating slurs. Id1ots like you contribute nothing positive here, in the way of intelligent political discussion, but are on the scene pronto to talk when things are taken off-topic by bigoted losers. Abeg, think what you effing want. The opinion of lowlife losers like you matter nought to me. |
anonimi: What's the empty bragging aboutThis is why you are singularly the most disgusting Nairalander I know. A slithering snake full of deceit and wretchedness. You claim Shymexx is "bragging" yet do you know what Sonny_bobo wrote that prompted a response from Shymexx? I.e: Meanwhile, why is it that when merit is used instead of quota and federal character, the South Westerners don't come anyway near especially outside the shores of Nigeria?below is the response of Shymexx to the above empty garbage: @ the bolded - how do you mean?Yet SHymexx is the poster you chose to accuse of "empty bragging"? Do you know that on this thread this Sonny_bobo has made many supremacist brag against the ethnic group you claim you are from? Somehow, that does not offend you or even gain your attention. Someone says you don't come anywhere near those in his ethnic group for innate ability and you are cool with that. Yet it is Shymexx, defending his ethnic group from that very same slur, you have an issue with not the chap who directly and ungraciously, several times on one thread, stated unashamedly he is superior to you, your father, mother, uncle, brother, sister et al by birth and ethnic origin like a vile and worthless bigot/racist. Shame on you !!! You are just a clown. A totally wretched and messed-up creature. Best thing you can do is to stop running around pretending to be Yoruba because you are unclad here attacking a Yoruba person rightfully speaking up against an openly tribalistic m0r0n hollowly touting ethnic superiority against others. As someone told the fool earlier, every ethnic group has greatness it can easily boast of. The only person condemnable here is the person ranting about ethnic supremacy. I don't expect a fake and vile nuisance like you to note this. You're sick !!! Very sick !!! |
[quote author=Sunny_bobo]I'd take this to mean you throwing in the towel. No hard feeling bro. If not for the madness of January 15th 1966 and the subsequent civil war, the Igbos would have been dominating every facet of human endeavour in Nigeria which would have honestly been bad though. That's why the wise man Awo cleverly used the opportunity of the civil war to reduce the Igbos to zero economically but thank God things have reversed and we are in top gear now.[/quote]Here we go again. There is always something/someone stopping you 'dominating' as your "supreme" endowment indicate you should be doing. I ask you very simply, what stops you intellectually dominating even Nairaland with the delusional superiority you claim to have? On this thread for example, I find your contribution childish and distinctly unintelligent yet you are proposing yourself to be part of a 'master' ethnic group? Why, as an example, have your superhuman administrators not turned the SE into the envy of civilisation? I think 'delusions of grandeur' and megalomania best describe what ails you. |
amarilo: If we keep on showing the world the school picture you described those gov will think they have arrived that is why the ugly pictures need to be shown so that they will not forget. But then I did not see you castigate when your clan was showing schools from pdp governed states. You will do well when you balance your views if you really mean well for Nigeria irrespective of who is in power.Did you see me contribute to those threads either? I did not contribute, in all honest truth, because I do not know, in detail and comprehensively, what Chime, Akpabio et al are doing so how can I offer any defence for them? Whereas I know precisely what SW Governors are doing enough to speak up for them. I believe in live and let live. I also have no interest in commenting on things I don't have full knowledge of. Same way I speak here in defence of Amosun, as someone whose parents are from Ogun State, is how I expect those who hold their direct leaders accountable to show up on those threads and counter any mischief against their own governors and administrators. I should not have to do such for others to prove I am Mr.Nigeria to you or anyone else. I respect the space and privacy of others. Suffice to say Governors deemed to be performing (such as Akpabio, Chime et al) have my overall support. I don't however follow what they are doing in detail and can therefore not show up to be defending them against squalid pictures. You and others should do that while refraining from childishly retaliatory antics that gets us all nowhere. |
Sad that so many Nairalanders are hateful creatures into mocking and attacking each others like uncivilised apes and barbarians. It is only the bigoted elements , unable to give credit where due, who will pretend not to know that the ACN Governors are all replacing the mess of the PDP (typified by the picture OP supplied) with modern, well-equipped model schools as part of a holistic and comprehensive policy underpinning a return to greatness on sound, qualitative and comparatively robust education. Below is a model school being built by Amosun. One would hope that amidst all the tribal and jingoistic jousting going on here, we should all still have the decency in us to support administrators who are doing well - wherever they are from - and leave them out of these childish, petty and senseless mischief that can only make non-Nigerians view us as highly warped and aberrant. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ogun_state/8757489100/in/set-72157632226234541/lightbox/ |
payless: It comes down to APC nominating the right candidate. I don't think Buhari is acceptable to our youths. I don't see how Buhari wins South-west. He has the North in the bag already but his achilles heel is in the Southwestern states.If it is Buhari, he may be a better sell with a charismatic and popular performer as his VP running mate. We have to remember that a very popular VP can make the ticket popular and attractive to those who may be ordinarily lukewarm to voting Buhari. |
maclatunji: Chido Onumah was only saying that Nigeria's population has a large chunk of unelightened and simple-minded people who will still vote for GEJ no matter how incompetent he is. Add that to PDP's rigging machinery and the PDP has a good chance of 'winning' in 2015.That is why Igbokwe fired back this retort. Truth be told, Nigerians are not exactly the quintessential model of a politically sophisticated people. Igbokwe, accordingly, is well aware of how a proactive Party wishing to take on the ruling Party in Nigeria must work on the defeatist mentality of Nigerians. Indeed, I think he senses defeatism in the writing of Onumah hence the reason he highlighted some very good points relating to the simplistic pontifications of Onumah. Igbokwe, for example, is right that Onumah errs by making the APC about Buhari. This is no more sensible or logical than when some wish to state that the APC is about Ikimi and Ogbeh. Overall, Igbokwe makes it very clear the APC is putting in the work as well to win. Now if the question is “Is the opposition ready to compete in 2015? Please take notice that the answer is yes and this is final. A lot of sacrifices are being made, lots and lots of structures are being put in place, lots and lots of engagements are going, interests are being taken into consideration, human and material resources are being deployed to bring about this change and all APC needs is support and encourage and not to be pulled down. |

[quote author=tpia@]the miserable people are already on the thread? ![]() na wa o.[/quote]Indeed. They are ruining the user experience of this forum for many decent folks and I personally think cheap broadband will become one of the biggest problem of man in future as every evil, misguided and m0r0nic waster now has a ready-made audience for their jaundiced and societally unhealthy views. Imagine that in a poverty-riddled nation a governor is telling everyone not to spend any money (private or public) on his birthday , because he wants a private and inexpensive affair, yet we have some finding objection with that utterance. This is what shows you that many Nigerians have mental problems that makes them automatically oppose what others say because of the handed-down message they must always do so. How can any normal person have a problem with what is written below? Some people are just brought up to hate others and be angry with them even when there is no reason at all for that. "By nature I am not a ceremonious person. I don't like all the noise and partying. When I saw all the plans going on for my 50th, I said no. If this is my day, then those who really love me should allow me do it the way I want to. I have told my aides how I feel about this whole 50th birthday celebration. I asked them if governors in other countries don't have their birthdays and is it usually in such a loud way and manner? If I do it my own way it won't cost me that much to receive my visitors. |
Your thread title is offensive for insinuating the Nigerian FG will support any Nigerian who has been arrested for committing a criminal offence. The current Gestapo-style deportation actions of Kenya against "foreigners" is primitive, crude and xenophobic. Nigeria would be totally worthless if she will not challenge such patently unfair antics against her citizens. Any reaction of the Nigerian government to that action from Kenya cannot lead any sensible people to conclude our FG will support Nigerians arrested for drug smuggling in Kenya . |
@OP The main roads appear motorable to me i.e we don't see the deep potholes and gullies that make many Nigerian roads unusable nightmares and death traps. Granted,the overall environmental look is not great but I don't think most of the roads you showed can be deemed terrible for what roads do. |
Afam4eva: It's really difficult to get impressed with a lot of projects these days especially when one has seen something better. But i think the most important thing here is whether or not this bridge meets a need and the locals are happy about it. If they are, then every other thing is not important. All fingers are not equal and every state must not develop at the same pace. States should just work on solving their unique problems and not try to be like another state especially if what they'll end up doing has no bearing on the citizenry. Ibadan as a city has been neglected for decades. So, i think it's commendable if a government is finally doing something no matter how small. Ajimobi mustn't turn Ibadan to London. He will do what he can do and leave the stage for another administrator that will continue from where he stopped and maybe decide to look at the needs of Ibadan and Oyo differently.Well said Afam. What you said about not finding certain projects impressive is valid also to a certain extent as per an argument regarding aesthetics - which is a highly subjective arena where folks will often have to agree to disagree. Mixing functionality and efficacy with looks, to judge delivered infrastructure, is however an error only unintelligent and ungracious folks will make. In my case, for example, there is hardly a modern City of the world I have not visited. Yet I have enough sense to understand that issues are , first and foremost, about end-users , with the specific challenges and limitations their leaders must work with, gaining functional infrastructure that aids development. It would show a lack of class and poor developmental thinking on my part if I consider a bridge in Ekiti or Zamfara worthless because it does not look like what I have seen in Madrid, Milan, Florida, Houston, London, Paris, Rotterdam or Lisbon. Some of us do not praise these project because they are the heights of aesthetic architectural efforts for us. Far from it as we have seen much better and even gazed at cutting edge delivery that makes anything in Nigeria appear pedestrian. We praise these projects because the capacity to see the big picture, and factor in all the relevant considerations, makes us appreciate a perfectly adequate and entirely functional step in the right direction. |
Batam: I have observed some posters here no matter what governors of South West do in terms of development are not always goo but they are so ignorant of what the governors in their region are doing with the resources at their disposal.Thank you !!! I don't know what is wrong with some people. End uses are happy with the functional and architecturally- sound bridge delivered yet these non-stakeholders can never be happy for them. They are always the one hyperventilating most angrily and totally out of context considering their non-involvement with SW States. They will then begin silly, childish and unwarranted d1ck comparison antics even a child knows reveals innate insecurity and feelings of inadequacy. These wasters cannot ever be charitable or gracious. They can only be negative plus consumed with hate and disapproval. At no point does it occur to them that a people who were previously given nada are now seeing progress. |
[quote author=Okija_juju]I believe you are the one taking this into another sphere all together.. This is a thread.. Where we all share ideas.. Debate, argue and discuss.. The darn bridge has been built.. All we are doing is analysing what was done. Remember that we are all gonna pay for these constructions one way or another.. I think everyone is allowed to air their views. This is not political, purely analytical.[/quote]I think most here know what you are. A bad-belle irritant with no class. A bridge is built in a town. The people, who actually use the bridge, are jubilating and happy because a major traffic headache has been addressed efficiently. An outsider then show up at their Party to be raining on their parade with unobjective and senseless criticism in which he disregards salient and restrictive parameters. He then seems to want to force unhappiness on them by shoving pictures under their nose of what he insist they must have, that he is enjoying, when they keep repeating that they are pleased with what has been delivered as it serves its purpose very well. Does all that not show said stranger is a bad-belle, uncultured and insecure bushman? What would be classier, in the spirit of live and let live, than being happy for people who are happy with a positive development in their lives? Please stop the silly pretence of hiding behind constructive criticism. You have been told a zillion times, from thread to thread, this is a functional bridge delivered to real landscape constraint yet you and others bone-headedly keep spamming with pictures of Akwa Ibom. It is not even just this alone. Whether it is a market or bus scheme Ajimobi et al deliver, you are there always in negativity when stakeholders are happy progress is being seen. That is what marks you out as a nauseating person not possessing enough class to respect that it is the opinion of end users that matters most not yours. If they had complained to you different. Yet this is not and never the case. You are, with you silly, gratuitous criticism and mischief, just a tiresome, hateful, bigoted dude. Those who doubt me can see you, with two examples out of many, in your 'element' below : https://www.nairaland.com/1316546/oyo-hasnt-borrowed-money-2/2 Okija Juju wrote: Holy shiiit!!https://www.nairaland.com/1316468/ibadan-gets-new-market-over Okija juju: You mean it took them 30 years to build this crap? |
Is it not amazing it is always non-stakeholders hyperventilating angrily the most on these sort of threads while end users themselves are happy with what is delivered? Can these mischief-maker not appreciate that their insecurity and inferiority complex is glaring with how they always immediately and automatically begin talking of Akwa Ibom and other places on these threads? Who is childish and unintelligent enough not to understand that Paris and London do not have to be the same as long as Parisians and Londoners are respectively happy with their cities? Who turns every single topic into a d1ck-comparison contest except an insecure and inadequate person? If family man makes a big show of claiming he is happy and that what he has is the best, why is he always talking about the wife and kids of his neighbour and looking over the fence into their property? Secure, fulfilled and happy people live and let live. |
I think it needs to be stated that Woles Soyinka is not targeting Igbos, or any ethnic group for that matter, with his utterance. Wole Soyinka's message should be very clear to those who can read what is written and assimilate it dispassionately without sectional or ethnocentric preponderance. Especially discernible is Soyinka's frustration and disappointment that even the highest level of education attainable has not cured some people of unobjective, unneeded and ugly prejudice. Overall, Soyinka is getting across the precise message that it is difficult, whatever a man does, to please those who are determined to be prejudiced, clannish , unwilling to be charitable towards others and obsessed with the notion of maintaining senseless enmity and rancour against them. |
[quote author=Akanbi_edu]LOL.[/quote]Indeed. What a backwardly arrogant Party. The statement below confirms why, under undemocratic and undeserving Presidents, the PDP has not gone forward as a political Party since 1999. It is only undemocratic 'throwbacks' who will not understand that the NGF election should have nothing to do with "disobedience" or "anti-party activities". Should the Governors not be free to choose any colleague, regardless of his Party affiliation, they believe can lead their own forum best? A Presidency source said both the Presidency and the party had been investigating those behind the disobedience, which he said was very embarrassing. |
zetdee: Why do you even give a shiite about the non entity called Somali.Grow up dude. Why insult Somalia? A forum user mentioned them. They did not ask to be made a topic for discussion and insults here. @Topic. In my dealings with them, I have not discerned that Somalians reject being black. Perhaps some you have met do but you can't claim this to be a general thing. |
ilugunboy:A shameless, uncultured, ill-bred and attention-seeking groupie who prefers to focus on other forum users rather than comment on the topic. Sadly, this place is full of these pathetic elements. You can tell they were brought up in the gutters of Nigeria and the type to always fight publicly without any shame whatsoever. They bark when they should talk and even snarl to greet others. These gutter children make Nigeria horrid because they grow into the adults who take this innate bellicose demeanour everywhere. Whether at work, socialising or even blogging. The story is the same. Agbero behaviour that cannot be cured is always visible. Sadly, the net now unites these uncultured animals with the rest of society. |
