Racoon:
Hehehe! Then Festus Keyemo was openly doing the opposite having long made a volte face and gone back to his vomit. The coliation is really giving these failures nightmares.

Truth be told, this collision or coalition no follow at all.
The calibre of people fronting the coalition are not to be trusted. They are group of disgruntled, retired and tired polithiefians.

Except a genuine coalition of the masses against the oppressors is formed before 2027.

telleyway:
I know without doubt.
And don't forget I don't say what I don't know

You are already saying what you don't know sir!

Let me tell you something, there is no governor that doesn't take loans but they hardly make it public.

If you want to know that the present Benue state governor hasn't taken loan, just wait for his tenure to finish. The next governor will tell the state the amount of debts his predecessor took while in office.

OfoIgbo:
Xenophobia in Lagos is beginning to yield fruits.

There is no reason Abuja should be ahead of Lagos, especially as Lagos is the commercial/financial capital of Nigeria.

The last two years of Tinubu's administration is beginning to gradually destroy the economic attraction and potentials of Lagos

Getat!
Lagos is saturated already. Cost of establishing business in Lagos due to land scarcity will inevitably make investors look at alternatives.

It is normal.

This is good and commendable. Balablu is right on this one.

Baba don't hesitate on anything that with generate more money for the economy and from the economy.

RevenuesBoost:
Some come into governance and inherit the loans.

I thought I would see my state

I hope you are boosting revenue for your state as your Monika implies.

telleyway:
Look at what insensitive governance is costing us. Funny enough, most of these debts were collected in dollars and continue to increase as dollar is going high.
The present governor of Benue has never taken any loan since assuming office but look at where the careless spending of his predecessors put the state.

Are you working in the same office with him to be so sure that he hasn't taken any loan?
Or you think they will contact you before taking loans.

gmo10:
Even after fuel subsidy remove and a high increase in federal allocation. High time we all focus more of our attention on the state governors.
Op where's your source

No pls
Let's continue to blame balablu. He is the reason why our governors are lazy, corrupt, clueless and still indebted.

Brahamimo:
"He has not been appointed into any political office "

Can u now see why he cannot be the president?
He lacks the experience.

Yes, he lacks the experience to loot public funds.

That is why people like us prefer him to your experience looters

Brahamimo:
He lacks what it takes to be the president. He's yet to attain the maturity needed to be a president

What maturity trait do you want him to possess?

Leme help you:

He is not over aged

He has no pot belly

He hasn't been appointed into any political office and has not embezzled public funds.

He is not in the wanted list of any anti graft agencies.

ElSudani:
The solution is a weakened center and more power to the states. If you want to run down your own state then the people will know where to take their grievances.

The current balablu government is trying to some extents to empower the states through local government autonomy, tax reform and increasing state allocations.

But he is doing only nothing to weaken the centre

WizardOfNG:
No disrespect but Sowore is a political dullard and this is the reason most Nigerians lost respect for him massively.

I don't so political correctness and make bold to say rotation between North and South must be sacrosanct because of the reality of Nigeria, and how her region and people prefer to live, which means a Northern leader is unlikely to ever lead in ways that can satisfy Southerners and vice versa.

Sowore is not even smart enough to note the core North believes in a welfarist system of Governance, like throwback communism, where everything and everyone is sustained by Federal government funding.

Whereas most region of the South are socio-captalist in leaning.

With how fundamentalist a lot of Northerners are, no Northern leader will ever gain power to then be overtly socio-captalist. He/she will never be allowed to lead in that way by Northerners.

Similarly, and by inclination, no Southern leader can force begging-bowl communism on most Southerners who believe in competitively bettering themselves, with education and "japa" plus business ownership etal, to thrive and gain the best things life has to offer.

We have essentially two very different and ideological dissimilar nation joined together like Israel and Iran for example where Ayatollah cannot lead Israel and Netinyahu cannot make decisions for Iranians.

Meaning it is best for power to rotate between North and South in Nigeria so both region get what they want till evolution does the rest to get all regions to independently attain the lives they wish to live.

Sowore is just a glorified student Union leader and unintelligent populist who believes politically correct rhetoric makes him a more desirable leadership candidate. Nothing more.

He should go and have a conversation with the Hausa man below to see if he can convince him that Northerners will allow a "meritoriously competent" Northern leader to transform Nigeria as Southerners will want considering the animosity he encountered trying to get Northern leaders to see the need to educate and train Northern kids , with STEM, to develop the North.

For your mind now, you have schooled my presidential candidate with your epistle.
Continue

Everyone except you know that a competent leader, irrespective of tribe or religion is more desirable.

Although this is not possible because of our divergence.

Just like you rightly put, Nigeria is made up of more than one countries lumped together.

Of all the challenges facing Nigeria, these people are still looking for loopholes to slot in their evil agenda.

Choir!

I told a friend some years back that if this kidnapping crime should spread to the south east, it will be very difficult to tame it

This doesn't mean that there are no kidnappers in other region o.

No body should quote me wrongly.

Congrats to these start up companies. This is the kind of news I always love to hear.

I wish some of these politicians are on naira land.

Let them see the way most people view them.
Perhaps they will be careful with their choice of words.

Softmirror:
Nobody is being sidelined. You just have to sit your ass down and think with your brain on how to play your game to power.

Those who always cry of marginalisation are those who lack the ability to sit their ass down and think with their brains.

They prefer to be controlled by emotions.

DrMB:
But shouldn’t competence and effective leadership take priority over regional balance to truly drive the nation forward?

Who are the people with competence and effective leadership skill that you think should be prioritised

What is this thing about marginalisation that these people always complain about

Things dey happen o

Chinese nationals came all the way from their Chinco country, rented a whole building and recruited young people to be committing crime.

And the best efcc could do was to turn them to ATM withdrawal button instead of arresting them.

We heard more than this when he contested under APGA.

We know how it all ended. We know how Baba japad to another party 🥳.

One thing will happen:

If you buy it him, he will never forget you for buying him beer.
If you refuse to buy it for him, he will never forget you for refusing to buy him beer.

The choice is yours to make

But remember, the choice you make will count for you in future.

So kanu sef dey sue people

Wonders have ended kpata kpata!

The same kanu that was insulting every body and every tribes on radio
Biafra. He was even insulting Igbos and the same Igbos were hailing him for insulting them .

When I listened to some of his senseless speeches on radio Biafra, it makes me wonder if the is even normal.

budaatum:
Some day, the first Nigerian might go to space too so we don't end up celebrating egusi only.

A Nigerian has already gone to space recently.

I can't remember the name.

Na baze University give ameachi and Dino law certificate

He is using his university to print certificates for corrupt and lazy politicians while sending his own children to Europe for real quality education.

givedemwotowoto:
Did he steal public funds to send his son abroad? That’s the only way this topic will make any sense, else it’s a low IQ discussion topic

If is once served in any position as a civil servant or as a politician, he must have stolen public funds.

Dude was a former law maker, yes he stole public funds

Is this all you called sorrowfully state of an airport?

This OP is not well oh

fineboynl:
Just 50? Who much is the cost?

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comment

You think cows are like mobile phone accessories that you can ship into the country at once in thousands?

SmartPolician:
We need to stop this estimation and do a proper census using biometrics to capture authentic information from real people. I don't know why this country is afraid to find out the actual tribal and religious makeup of its own people.

will you fund it?

who told you the government is afraid of conducting proper census?

if you see the amount the national population commission quoted for the federal government the last time the census was to be held, you will run.
that was why buhari kept postponing national census till the end of his tenure.

Urgent1Million:
FG should give them 13% of debts from electricity generation and supply.
Or they want to collect 13% of oil revenues?

their request is tenable to be honest.

what i find difficult to believe is the claim that many residents who were subsistence farmers do not have enough land to farm because of these dams.
this is a blatant lie from the shallow pit of zungeru dam.

Celestialsword:
No northern states is among the oil producing states in Nigeria.

niger state is a dam producing state na.

damnit

Sheuns:
Can someone from Ibadan go to Ogbomoso to become Soun and those in Ogbomoso will allow him because he is from the Southwest?
