It's all very nice...but there is a problem

The issue is, how would the funding for the continued maintenance of the hospital be sourced??

The money we earn from oil, even when prices are high, is not enough to keep this hopsital well funded...and don't talk about agriculture...because most farming in Nigeria is subsitence, and less than 10% of our farming is mechanised...so there is no way we can compete with the agricultural powerhouses in Europe and elsewhere....

So, either Kano state people pay higher taxes down the road, or pay higher hospital bills, or watch as the hospital equipment breaks down because there is not enough money to fix things.

The UK spends 130 billion pounds on health annually. Nigeria spends less than 3 billion on health. And the UK has that money because they don't rely only on oil. They rely on industry and innovation. Here in Nigeria, we rely on sharing money. Instead of industry and innovation. Even the cry for restructuring is not a cry for developmet...it is a cry for more money to chop.

If you know the IGR of Kano city alone (not to talk of the entire state), you wouldn't be typing this long grammar.

Blackking98:
It's better they have arrested him . Eim don loose guard and the safest place for him now is the prison cell, if his Lord's catch him he will be beheaded, such is the way of his frat. Unless they've gone soft.

Which dirty beheading? Which dirty lords? Those things are reserved for riff raffs who don't have any small change to bend the rules as they so please. They'll even hail him sef. Cultism is just gangsterism these days. Fools who lose their lives to it are just that - fools.

Moreover, if any cult would do that, it won't be the most porous, no longer secret, casted O.T cult group he belongs to.

Djpaparazy:
Precious who was the said prostitute is from Akwa Ibom state and she sells drinks in a restaurant to customers which is her major source of income but at the end of the day customers normally pay her for a night job and with that she uses to compensate her salary.

The wife of the deceased who is said to work with the CBN was shocked at the news and did not bother to confront the prostitute who was already convicted by the law and standing trials.

She said in an early interview reporters that her husband like she suspected was a womanizer even before they got married and that she has tried to turn his eyes away but to no avail and now look at how it has caued it him life.

“It a pity that my dear husband has died in a disgraceful acts which I have forwarded him about, but still my advice to other men and prostitutes in this world is to look and my husband and learn from his mistakes” she said.

Oboy! Get someone to be writing your articles for you na. What you just committed is grammatical blunder punishable by stoning.

Lol. His chief priest is right there beside him with the number 7 axe symbol boldly printed on his red dress. Quite funny.

People like the O.P are walking around freely while more useful people are getting blown up daily in villages up North and you tell me life is fair?

Who change this man battery?

Sad. Safety standards must be adhered to at all times. Innocent children o.

Jokers!

Chibykeray:
Not to sound sarcastic but which tactics the tactical police officers get abeg? ����

You'd be surprised. When those same idiots who collect 100 Naira at checkpoints are suddenly mixed with the real deal police officers, you'll just be standing one side asking yourself, "so these idiots sabi their work like this?" Seen it countless times and it amazes me every darn time.

Rawtruth1:
I can bet my house that some high rank people in the army were not aware before police attacked the terrorists otherwise..

You are one of the very few here who truly understands the gist.

GamalNasser:
Great news !!!!!! How can over 250 Terrorist be in a camp and NIGERIANS Military will say they don't know where they are ..Kaduna state is almost like Somalia thanks to the poor irridentist sectarian leadership currently plaguing it ..

In 2023 if anybody comes to tell you to vote ElRufai make sure you stone them immediately , in just 4 years the man has allowed Kaduna state degenerate into Fallujah like status . Just see below how many people where kidnapped in that state in just January making Kaduna state the kidnap capital of the whole world

The statistic for Benue is false please! At least that one I know. That further casts doubts on all the other small figures I'm seeing there. Kidnapping is too rampant now to have states experiencing only 1 case in a whole month. Agreed, Kaduna still tops the list by a considerable margin.

Let me also go and notify world leaders about my missing iron rods. Those thieves have put my materials in danger.

myobjective:
Makurdi is not that far from the east my friend, in fact, makurdi and Benue is geographically eastern Nigeria.

People are mixing things up, using northern artisans and labourer is different from giving northern own companies all the work

You are missing the point. You are arguing based on a federal university contract awarded to a "Northen company" (whatever that means) in the East. I'm also pointing to a project in the North being executed by a Southern company. I worked for an Igbo sub-contractor handling one of the two arms of construction work. He wasn't a qualified construction professional and hence needed my professional certs and technical know-how as regards execution.
These things happen all over the country and giving it an ethnic coloration for the purposes of winning arguments just serves only one purpose - to win online arguments. Nothing more. That's a disservice to those who would want to see the current status-quo changed.
During the GEJ era, we worked in the Niger - Delta on many government projects. Awarded to who? Unqualified individuals who were being settled for political reasons and who did they sublet those contracts to after collecting their profit? Firms who offered the cheapest prices be they from the North or Taiwan!
Open your eyes, it's all about the money. That's the cost of Nigeria's democracy.
Don't make it about tribe!

oyatz:
Nairaland is a faceless forum. Some guys that haven't even bought a plot of land will be giving expert opinions on massive construction contracts.



I just completed a personal housing project in my hometown in Osun State.

I deeply regretted the parts that I gave to local artisans to do.

One guy collected my money for digging soakaway pit, dug like 1.5 meters and disappeared.

Even in my hometown, I had to go to Sabo and recruited Ayuba Takai and Danladi (both from Kano State) to complete the digging of soak away and waste pits. Many manual jobs were reassigned to these Hausa labourers.

They don't resume for work until around 10:00 am and they like to close by 5:00pm and will be expecting daily payment.

Some days, they may not even come giving silly excuses that they went for chieftaincy meetings or there were ceremonies in town for them to attend.

They will force you to work at their own pace (slow and more expensive) because they are in their own town, they are never in a hurry to meet any target.
They don't live in rented apartments, their foods are mostly sourced locally and their costs of living is very low.

Above all, they are also part-time farmers. They will use your time to go to farms and only come for your work at THEIR convinient time.

You get the point.

edoairways:
That is one problem using host community to execute a project

Exactly! Mostly, when people call me for projects in other states, they, the clients usually end the call with an emphasis that I come with my entire team of workers to ensure a hitch-free execution. They usually say, these our boys are not serious and might cause you problems. I laugh because I hear that same statement regardless of any region I'm being summoned to.

Asquare84:
In the same UNN I have done a contract and I know what we passed through in the hand of the local, each time we table our problem to management of UNN the reply is "na so our people be ooo, we don't trust them ," infact the truth is that an ibo man will even prefer to relate with an outsider than their own

Leave all these people to keep ranting. They don't know why they post us outside our comfort zones to go and work. Is it not Igbo men and firms who are executing the massive green energy project at University of Agriculture Makurdi? Worked there briefly before leaving so I know what I'm talking about. Did anyone die or cry blue murder?

Boring. Why are the cars looking like old model now? He should upgrade and post new pics. Not interesting again.

I'm not clicking nada. I just explained the current realities with my post. Anyone can decide to wake up to them or continue wallowing in denial. You own brother in the same house would deny you a contract if a Cameroonian offered him better kick-backs than you in this country. It's not about tribe.

RZArecta:
I triple dare you to prove me wrong, no easterner can get ANY construction contract in a Fed Northern university talk less of shipping entire labor force from east to the north. The ethnic bigot here is most likely you sir

So, apart from ranting on Nairaland where No One in a position to properly address your current misgivings is reading what you are saying, what are you gonna do about it? Just remaining a little part of the wheel in the e-machine promoting online hate in the country? You think contracts like these are awarded at traditional council meetings?

I'm currently executing a federal government contract in the middle belt, which (in your own words have been awarded to a Yoruba firm). I have never come online to come and cry that my parent contracting firm are not from the middle belt.
Federal government contracts are bid for and awarded accordingly at Abuja and not based on tribe but on competency and the Nigerian factor of kick-backs. I have a few colleagues of Eastern and Southern extraction who work for bosses of same extraction that have or are currently executing projects in different parts of the country.
Lastly, yes, everyone uses abokis for construction work. No vex, they are ready and willing to work for reasonable pay with less qualms.
It's always better to use imported Labour for big projects in this country where people like you are ever ready to play the "na my place be this" card. Better for the contractor, better for project delivery, better for the client.
Drink some water.

StandUpGuy247:
Your friend should avoid you because you are a terrible friend.

I don't know how your conscience will even allow you chill with him knowing he's been betrayed by the person he will trust his entire life with.

And you will later open that your dirty mouth and call him your tightest man.

My thoughts exactly.

daddytime:
What?

Such a brazen and clear case of extrajudicial killing.

No matter their crimes, having been apprehended alive, the suspects sure deserved their days in court.

I hope human right orgs will take up this case, and hold someone accountable for this barbarism.

Take up which yeye action? The boys were trying to escape and grabbed a rifle, prompting the police to open fire. At least that's what the police would say. Case closed.

Oboy! Fine girl no dey Ghana? Tired of seeing these drum-shaped women day-in, day-out.

Listening to Psquare - E don happen.

Big fool! Stripping unclad for a game of chance. He couldn't go and sell something valuable or borrow some money to counter the remaining game on the ticket to ensure that whatever happens he'd wall away with something huge?

A haven of cultism. Waste of structures.

A lot of these ladies cannot hold interesting convos hence the Ks and thumbs up you see. Invite them out to eat fish and see how fast they type their phone numbers.
