The problem we have had since 1985 is that we have had leaders worse than their predecessors, this is the reason Abacha can be praised on these pages, it is a sad indictment of all of our leaders that a military despot performed better economically than them, in actual fact, Abacha's human rights records are far better than that of OBJ and Yar Adua.

Gbawe, they will soon come out to defend this, they will say at least we are not the 134th nation, GEJ is transforming the nation so we must dip first before we rise.

Either way she is okay jare, she should leave it shaved afterall no more maintenance.

Kai, poverty has dealt with Nigerians, can you guys not see that this is a joke? GEJ needs to do something fast o, guys are just too serious.

Tinubu and Gani Fawehinmi made up when he was ill, he was surprised that a man he pursued in the law courts could still come to see him when he got ill and to offer support, I am sure Gani believed Tinubu was still guilty of those things he accused him of. Gani will be very sad if he were alive because people have sold their souls on religious and ethnic grounds by voting for PDP.

Frank C has got Obasanjo spot on.

Dem nefa tire, let them continue with their stories, Intercontinental will be sold to people who will run it well, next time, Erastus will run a business the way it should be run.

That hamiliton is a petulant guy, he needs to rein in his aggression, Vettel wins grand prix but props to both Button and Alonso, especially Alonso.

Vettel will win the championship here, hope Ferrari get their act together next year, the wait for a championship has been too long.

Sanusi is still much better than these goons, his policies have always protected the common man, Okonjo Iweala is a World Bank agenda woman while our bros GEJ is just a mumu who does not understand what the guys are saying.

@Omo_tier

I believe Beaf's contract with GEJ goes up to 2021 (another 6 years), though, Mark or Rochas could outbid GEJ or simply elevate his portfolio.

Guys should try to get a book called outliers, it will present the OP's point of view.

The bridge built in Ilorin was officially priced at #2.3 billion Naira some years ago (unofficial figures quote a much higher price) and that was funded by the government.

Ighodalo was called and soothed by a lot of muslims when he was booted out of RCCG, infact, Aderinokun was going to give him the money for a plot of land before he died, the people that comforted him most were muslims, only one pastor from RCCG backed him.

How much did the bridge really cost, can someone give us an authentic price.

We need more of this infrastructure, this is one area I dont mind government going fully private on, we can always pay tolls to enjoy world class roads.

Whoever says the bridge is unnecessary should have his head checked, the volume of traffic on that road requires that bridge. Can someone give us the breakdown of the cost?

She could have taken Abacha's billions you know, she could have betrayed her husband, she died fighting for what she believed in, that my friend is the definition of a hero. I had wanted to consult your shrine on some urgent businesses, but your swipe at the whole of yorubaland has made me change my mind, I shall forward the lucrative business to someone in Ijebu.

Shonekan is looking very old, that Abacha treatment must have dragged him into old age forcefully.

Ighodalo and Sanusi both attended the same secondary school, they have been friends for a while.

Can we pack all the looters in the space vehicle and send them to the moon on a one way ticket?

Haba, the guy has not even spent 1 year you are asking for his candidature, as far as I am concerned, the Igbo person for me is still Ngige or maybe Chime sha.

Believe this and you will believe everything, haba, how can a school of 2000 people be responsible for 55% of internet traffic.

@lagcity

Sorry to burst your bubble but do you know how much was spent on that bridge alone? Bukola built some roads no doubt, but, it was Lawal that opened up Ilorin, for those posting pictures of roads, there are far better roads in Gombe, every state can post pictures of good roads, even as useless as Akala was, the guy managed to dualisse the UI Mokola road.

Cap28

Soyinka is not a coward, his stance in this is highly regrettable sha, I expected better from him.

@ekt

Why are you asking for extra judicial murder, he should just be sent away for a long time, let him be doing his jihad in solitary confinement.

Beaf me I no dey talk to you o, as per peace, ask the people of Jos and Maiduguri what they desire now.

My Iyawo is an Ekiti woman, met her in Owerri when she was serving there, in the absence of statistics, I will say they are both poor.

Peace in Akwa Ibom? When the governor is the commander in chief of kidnappers, ol boy, I know Akwa Ibom like mad, just try and go against Akpabio, your wife or sisters will be kidnapped instata. Fashola's efforts speak for him. If you want Aregbe's achievements, just look for a thread where people have replied Beaf on Osun state (employment generation for one), let us not talk about Ebonyi, hope you remember the communal clash in that state that killed so many people (the press just did not report it fully). As per peace in Cross River, the place has always been peaceful so it is not a new thing, just mention one thing Imoke has done, I gave props to Gombe that is a PDP state, but, all those you mentioned have not done anything jare.

SE

Do not go there o, the two regions are poor, I have travelled round the SE and there is nothing to show for that region apart from the capital city, I have been to Okija, Iheala, all those villages between Umuahia and Ikot Ekpene, Aba, that town where you have Caritas University, Uturu and seen the villages along the road from Owerri to Aba, have stopped in some of those villages off Aba - Okigwe road, infact Okigwe that is quite popular is disappointing, I have gone to Owerri from Umuahia, gone to Owerri from Okigwe, those villagers I saw were poor o. Onitsha is one messed up city, travelled from Enugu to 9th Mile, been from Onitsha to Enugu, bros bone that thing, the two regions house poor people.

First of all remove Ebonyi from the list of performing governors, that one is a big lie, Akwa Ibom governor is just a noise maker, the guy is just spending money without a co-ordinated plan, the guy who performed was Victor Attah (Greed killed him sha), Liyel Imoke is just a cheap thief, we know what he did as power minister, Sule Lamido ko, Sule Lamidi ni, the only other person that did anything of note was the former Gombe governor, at least I saw what he did with my two eyes.
The ACN is filled with competent people, the leaders in their wisdom have decided on selection rather than election, the SW people are okay with that selection, if other parties can get better candidates let them bring it out, we are okay with it, SW people do not concern themselves with how other parties choose their candidates, as long as the guys do well, then no wahala, if Ikuforiji is found to have stolen, he should be sent to jail and someone put in his place, I am not one to defend a convicted thief.
The fact that there is peace in the state and people's will prevailed is a great relief to the people of Osun state, Ogun state, I have not followed closely so I have no comments on him, but, his plans seem good, lets wait and see.
Can SE also compare revenue between Cross River governor and either Osun or Ogun state?

So Obiagu has gone over Lagos to determine that only SEastern landlords build multi-storey buildings, why not just come out and say you hate Yorubas, at least we will know, do you think people building deckings like they do in Onitsha is a sign of prosperity? Ibadan has a lot of poor people no doubt, but, there are nice areas in the city as well, I have travelled all over the SE and I will not allow you to make me denigrate the city where I met my wife (Owerri for your information).
The people of Ibadan are not dependent on the government, they are hard working people who have taken their destinies into their hands, Ibadan is not known as a civil service state, hope you are aware that the city has many industries (Nigerian Breweries and BAT to mention a few).
