These days, it feels like Lagos is the only state in Nigeria where good news emanate from.

Rivers state has spent one year doing nothing but separating egotistical fights between their clueless governor and his predecessor.

Edo is sinking into underdevelopment while the top political class is more concerned about taking over government House.

Ebonyi and other Southeastern states apart from Anambra (and to some extent, Abia) are going nowhere fast.


South-western states are stupidly hiding their backwardness behind almighty Lagos, thinking we can't see their pathetic conditions.

As for North... Let me just be looking at those ones and be shaking my head.


Tinubu this, Tinubu that... Yet the massive decline of the nation is largely due to the poor output of most states in the federation.

Light a fuse under your governors! Make them sit the fvck up... They aren't working, and it's unacceptably dragging the nation backwards.

I really liked this your analysis; it is very close to being objective

Don't mind them. They were mainly referring to the Old Ibadan settlement. If you've been to the new settlement, you'd not believe your eyes. In Nigeria, civilisation started in Ibadan. Ibadan was just like lagos or Abuja of nowadays. In those days, people would come from outside Nigeria to visit Ibadan. 2 african cities were known for tourism in those days, because of their high level of civilisation and huge population. They're Ibadan and Cairo. Ibadan used to be the largest city in Africa before Cairo overtook her. You could drive for 3 hours within Ibadan metropolis and you're still there. A prof emeritus once told me that, they used to receive patients into UCH from other African nations and the tertiary health institution was once voted the 4th best in the entire commonwealth nations. You know what that means.

On the brown roofs, as of the time when about 80% of houses in Nigeria were covered with rafia palms and bamboos, 80% of houses in Ibadan already had the galvanised iron sheets on them. People used to come and see that alone. Rich men from outside would come and build in Ibadan. Unfortunately,.Ibadan lost its status for years until makinde arrived. If only we can allow merit to have its way , mediocrity won't hold sway and we'd always get better as a nation. Seyi makinde is a true representation of omoluabi. That's what we're known for, and not someone of controversial status. Makinde is a clean politician whose profile can be verified anywhere. Kudos to him. If he continues this way, he'd lead Nigeria sooner than anticipated. Soludo and Oti are another guys to look out for. We have such visionaries in every tribe.

Ibadan never lost its status from time to time.
Let give kudos to Senator Ladoja and his cousin, late Ajimobi for being pacesetters for Makinde

Padipadi:
Good project at the wrong time.


Advice to FG on how to run a govt:
After the economy is stable, FG can do lots of projects. What a caring govt ll do is to first reduce cost of governance and block all avenues of embezzlements. Today it's Yaya Bello, tomorrow it's Beta Edu. Next tomorrow it's Hadi Sirika. As if it's a witch-hunting govt. Convict those niggas and give them real jail terms or treat them the China-way. Enough of media trials.
Naso Buhari dragged GEJ agents like Dasuki, Diezani etc. Tinubu dey drag Buhari own. After Tinubu, next president go drag Tinubu appointees and the yeye circle goes on. Fuel has been high for the past two weeks now and no one knows when most petrol stations ll change it back to N580 or N600. No enforcement authorities in sight. And those ones too, we no know if they got their fuel at high rates to sell at high rates instead of official price.
Note:
There's Benin Auchi road and other inter state roads in dire need of repair. Forget about the mirage income this road ll generate, it's a step by step progress FG should take. Too much huge projects burdens the economy tightly. We v not recovered from Emefiele's barbaric naira redesign and the next govt is flowing naira. From 2023 till 2023, naira to dollar jumped from less than N500 to N1700 at some point become sliding back to N1400. And this economy is thriving on how low dollar is. So are we making progress or FG & State govts are running govt of paying their earnings alone. The masses are feeling nothing or just little. With the way they increase power tarrifs, we still v little power supply.
No State can boast of supplying all areas constant 2 hours daily. Only to be claiming Band A, Band B, C etc as if it's sec sch classrooms.
Look, frustration has set in so don't let me stone you with hot apu!

I'm old enough to tell you this, "Nigerian economy has never been stable"
If anyone want to prove me right, he can come up with a proof

In the era of AI, many will lose their jobs.

I'm sure if it was this era e-mail started that crippled NIPOST, obi will still blame the government

Madrid on course

soccerlite:
Nawa O

And you are using the internet

Omo this your brain capacity is too low

Lower than buhari

If I engage the wisest among you obident on issue of governance, you will be put to shame.

I say it again, obi will benefit from the cyber levy through his bank

Obi is just an hypocrite, he will benefit from this collection through Fidelity Bank.

Mind you the banks will not remit everything to government, it is just an avenue for them to make more money

magoo10:
Fubara should appoint local government caretaker committee ASAP ,conduct fresh elections and push the morons out .you have the power
The drunkard cannot be distracting the state that has a democratically elected governor.

If their tenure has not expired, does Fubara has power to sack them?

Cindypresh:
How dare umahi refer to brown roofs as shanties


Is he not aware that his ancestors are still jumping palm trees when those brown roofs were built😂

E ri dindirin
Brown roof no dey Enugu

Most of these oyinbo teachers sleeping with underaged are mentally deranged and they don't see the shame in doing what they are doing

doggedfighter:
Neighbourhood favoured these ones

Serious people.

They didn't come here to tell us how the girl gave him food and ask Nairalanders if they should eat or not.


.

You are funny

Joesno:
See what is making front page, to wat end is this news now?

Will it relieve us from the hands of Tinupoo?

Why are hating happiness of others. If you are not happy with the thread skip it

All these people writing resignation letters, did they write an application to join PDP or were they given employment letters by PDP.
Funny people, they should ask those people that resigned in Delta how are they feeling now.

Nazgul:
Nigerians aren't ready for genuine change. When they're ready they'll vote in the right people. Until then, they should keep enduring the hardship their poor choices has brought upon them.

I put it you: Who are the right people?

Nigerian politicians don't fear any form of swearing

Kingsmeal:
Lol.

His sins will now be washed away😂.

APC = Association of Past and Present Criminals

Let Yarimo, Seunmsg Madridguy LegendHero Paraman FreestuffNG come and start licking his mkpuru amu now😂

Who is that politician in Nigeria that is not a thief?
In eyes of the masses, no politician is a saint. I remember when I was small, whenever a governor is passing with his entourage, people lining on the road will chorus "ole, barawo"

Wahala house

PHIPEX:
It shows he has smarter supporters while the dullard are singing govt praises on empty stomach

Forget it, you guys are not smart, you are just hating. Do you know that coastal road will create job opportunities for many including ya brothers

Obiii
Ya mouth no dey get control

Why is it that majority of those antagonizing the coastal road are mostly obi supporters from Ibo extraction?
I expect the northerners to be doing this, but they are not despite the fact that they may not have direct benefit from the coastal road

2. The original coastal road as the people were told during the construction of the Lekki expressway/toll gates, was the Water Corporation road. Nigerians were told it was going to be an alternative route to the tolled road. Today, a large expanse of that road has been abandoned and is virtually an eyesore. But, we have chosen to ignore it and instead start a brand new “Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway”. Why?

If they followed that plan, Landmark and other edifices around that route would be totally demolished

wiseoneking:
Here comes one of them justifying and comparing what he knows best to do. Supporters ritual club. According to you, Igbo build mansions with theirs why you are in mud brown roof.

You know in your bigoted mind that; it is a fact that there are many ritualists among ya people using 2by2 shop as coverup as businessmen

Zonefree:
After going through the thread sorrowfully, I think y'all will agree with me it's time Yoruba elders find a lasting solution to curb this incessant skull mining by Yoruba youths.

It is in Iboland too.
So many abandoned mansions in your village courtesy of ritual killing also.

Note this, any crime a Yoruba man is committing, 10 Ibo men are committing it

If you want to build house in any part of Lagos, please get all the necessary approval from the state agencies, if you don't know more about these documents, visit the ministry of lands and housing, they will guide on the necessary things to do.

I remember, one man bought a land in oniru. In 2021, Lagos State government task force came to demolish the shanties around the place telling him the place is meant for coastal road, the next day the acclaimed owner brought DSS there and they started chasing the people around there. Now, the man would have known the truth now

There is nowhere this "our people" don't cry marginalization even in the church of God. I remember in 2004, a group of boys wrote to the church management that they are marginalizing them, that it's only Yorubas and their Edo brothers they are appointing to positions. In that particular church that time, the major interactive groups were headed by them, and they were still crying marginalization

Abel Damina said you should continue to watch porn and be reading the bible and later you will lose interest in porn. I tell it will only work for those who are ready to discipline themselves and fully ready to focus on God by prayer and studying and reading the word of God.

Porn is a menace that is too addictive, and it is a glued sin that needs serious continuous deliverance prayers to be free from it

LegendHero:
Stop saying what you don’t know. When SE field a Ibo candidate that is in the top 3 choice, they will always vote that candidate.

In 1979, SE voted Azikiwe overwhelmingly. Can you beat your chest and say Azikiwe was better than Awolowo?

Even in 1983, same pattern replayed itself.

Ojukwu is a weakling in politics. He couldn’t even win a senatorial election let alone a national election. All through your years of voting PDP since 1999, you’ve never had any strong Ibo that break into the top three until Obi.

Below is 1979, now repeat the statement “SE don’t vote tribalism” again.

Tribalism in Nigeria is as old as Nigeria in politics.

Seyi Makinde is bringing Oyo State back to limelight

Many of you that are yearning nonsense, when it is your turn to rule, appoint strangers as your assistants

socialmediaman:
Politics of tribe and corrupt “emi lo kan” will not allow Nigeria attract foreign investments despite having the potential

Even the $200 million investors that came through, they destroyed to build coastal highway, something no other country will do to its own.

How will foreign investors be interested?

You are still bitter about emilokan whereas, the state he governed is the most viable state in the country is not in the list
If you believe that $200 million propaganda, you need an I.Q test

The way obi is going criticizing and passing judgement ignorantly on present administration, he will fizzle out before the contest of 2027. He needs to mellow down and think deep so that his case will not be like what the bible that says in proverbs12"16 "A fool's wrath is presently known"
