After 8yrs under Aregbesola, Osun State will be one of Nigeria’s leading economies at this rate He is also building capacity for the future by investing strategically in education. The Opon Imo is still an idea that I marvel at till this day and will eventually impact on the quality of knowledge the students get on the long run At the moment it has the fourth highest IGR in the country, the lowest unemployment rate, one of the lowest crime rates, the lowest poverty rate and the fourth highest GDP in southern Nigeria for 2012, behind Lagos, Rivers and Oyo 4 Likes |

More people to be reunited with their families shortly We need to build more of malls and only allow shops on high streets like Oxford with limited but standard roadside kiosks like you'll find on London's busiest street which can in our own case sell retail items like airtime and newspapers Enough of all these roadside shops defacing the streets and creating hideouts for criminals and uncouth traders that harass ladies in the name of selling 2 Likes |

Hey Andrew, even Benin Republic, as small as it is, has grown in population as well as economically and it's still growing You've not addressed reasons why the Yorubas should remain in the union Are Yorubas safe in the North? Are they welcome in the East? Every nation will grow but the question is at what rate considering the capacity it has.

[b]Factories have continued to open since 2003, following the revolution of the telecoms industry, initiated by OBJ The revolution has helped businesses in no small measure and have contributed to supporting infrastructure required for them to thrive I wonder why anyone will attribute this to GEJ I have been part of economic teams that have studied the telecoms revolution and its success. This has in no way influenced the consideration of Nigeria as an investment destination. Among factors investors consider before signing the cheques include: 1. Security 2. The market 3. Literacy 4. Labour Costs 5. Infrastructure 6. Fiscal Policies & Economic Policies (Including tariff on imports, export policy etc) No. 1 is negative under GEJ No. 2 is positive (as proven by the telecoms revolution) and has nothing to do with GEJ No. 3 is unchanged (as a matter of fact, the Education sector has been woeful under GEJ) No. 4 is unchanged (the minimum wage has remained largely same and the lower it is, the more attractive) No. 5 is positive (the rails cant move anything, the roads are horrible, electricity is unstable but the telecoms support is above average) This again has nothing to do with GEJ No. 6 is stable although inflation is still high, directly influencing interest rates which the CBN has been artificially trying to force down by issuing TBs but corruption has been at its peak under GEJ which has a direct effect on inflation with excess money in circulation (apart from the automotive policy, there's been nothing significant) [/b] 2 Likes |

Politics / Akpabio Blames Nigeria’s Woes On False Prophecies by geeez: 9:30am On Oct 06, 2013 |
Governor Godswill Akpabio of AkwaIbom State, on Friday, attributed the many problems in the country to false prophecies by some clergymen. A statement sent to Sunday Punch by the Special Assistant to the governor on Media, Mr. Jackson Udom said the governor made the observation at a Gala night in honour of the participants of the 28th General Assembly of Christian Council of Nigeria in Uyo. The governor said, “A lot of problems we have in this country are because some bishops and pastors speak when God has not spoken.” He said, “A greater percentage of problems in this country are caused by false prophecies. In your daily ministration, you must always allow God to lead you. Don’t speak when God has not spoken.” He thanked the council for the recognition, and admonished its members to remain focused as leaders in their various churches. The President of the council, Most Rev. Emmanuel J. Udofia, who announced the conferment of the Most Church Friendly Governor Award on the governor, said the award was in recognition of Akpabio’s “qualitative leadership and exemplary service to the church and humanity.” Udofia also said, “In appreciation of your good work to God and humanity, the church honours you with the Most Church Friendly Governor Award.” http://www.punchng.com/news/akpabio-blames-nigerias-woes-on-false-prophecies/ 5 Likes |
Politics / Re: Enugu... Take A Second Look by geeez: 8:25am On Oct 06, 2013 |
I've been to Enugu severally and I must admit some of the roads are good But it's not a particularly big city and the good roads are limited to the GRAs and layouts But is it that the author didn't realise that the roads were dualized when he drove by in the afternoons? Enugu is a low density city and there isn't as much pressure on the roads as you will get in a sparsely populated area by Lagos, Ibadan or Onitsha standards I like the architecture of the Polo Park Mall too but every time I visit, I rarely see people even on Saturdays and patronage isn't fantastic. Enugu is unlike the typical SE cities and doesn't have so much pressure on its infrastructure which makes it easy to manage In all, I have to give it to Chime. He's tried 3 Likes |

Politics / National Conference Must Preceed A Referendum by geeez: 9:20pm On Oct 05, 2013 |
Personally I like the Swiss system of government which is participatory In Switzerland, as it seems, the government, is the people of the country which aptly answers the questions of her diversity However, I have some reservations operating the same model in Nigeria because I'm not sure ordinary folks here can match the political sophistication and economic wizardry of ordinary Swiss nationals I'm somewhat on the fence regarding the constitution of a National Conference A lot will have to do with how the representatives are selected and what the agenda for their deliberations are The national assembly as it is currently constituted is a Sovereign National Conference, supposedly representing the people and if the National Conference is going to be put together the same way the NASS is, then we won't have achieved anything with the supposed congregation of people to discuss our political and economic future If we will go by the way of tribes, the question will be how many people will represent each tribe? Do we have a credible census of all tribes in Nigeria? Will the number of representatives from each tribe be a function of their perceived population? In any case, there will be serious contentions before the first sitting If we go by pressure groups, there will be serious imbalances as the Yorubas, of which I'm part, unarguably have the highest number of pressure groups in the country. From Afenifere, to Gani and Fasheun's OPC factions, to the OYC etc. Once again, this may cause an imbalance However, if I was to propose a model, I will advocate for a team of people with impeccable pedigree, to go around the country and meet with various interests, pressure groups and tribes at typical townhall meetings which will be televised live. Different tribes and groups will make their submissions and all these submissions will be collated. Obviously, there will be contentious issues and I will advocate that every contentious issue, be categorized and subject to a referendum. Every issue raised, should categorized and voted on by the inhabitants of the geographical location known as Nigeria today. Issues from self-determination, to the system of government, to the practice of religion and even the revenue sharing formula. It may be painstaking conducting a referendum but I think it is extremely essential, to address any imbalance in the composition of members of the conference. At the end of the day, the referendum should be binding and whatever the majority of the inhabitants of the land want should apply 1 Like |

You need to move out of the ghetto sis I've had to use restrooms at Domino's Pizza, Mr. Biggs and KFC three or four times without buying anything in Lagos, Nigeria I needed to use the bathroom and I pulled over, walked in and asked for their restrooms and they all obliged me without any objections Outside the country, I've walked into several Mac Donalds' restrooms, like most shops on Oxford and high streets in London do not have restrooms for customers so you can walk into a restaurant or hotel I'm talking from my personal experiences and I buy things in those places without using their restrooms anyway so why should they stop me when I have the need to Maybe next time you leave you house, make sure you look dignifying enough 5 Likes |

I always wonder why people do this on the street when they can walk into a pub, restaurant, hotel or filling station They will get a warm welcome The security men/women will open the door with a salute The attendants will flash a smile for asking where their loo is And the cleaners will respectfully clean whatever is left of the mess you leave behind 3 Likes |
