......US is practicing true Federalism bro. Each federating operates like a nation and independent of the Central Government to some extent. They control their own resources, have their own police and so on.

Besides, USA has been in existence since 16th century, kinda surprised you are comparing to Nigeria that's unknown until 20th century. LOL!

[color=royalblue]In USA, you cannot rig elections and go scot free

In USA, you cannot colleck kickbacks and still be a governor, or spend monies recklessly, and the law won't catch you. These things happen everyday in Nigeria. How exactly will regionalism change any thing?

We are not running a Regional system, and Sanwo-Olu, Otti, etc spend monies recklessly and nobody can question them. Then what will happen if these people have control over everything?

As long as there is no accountability, we will suffer more in a Regional system[/color]

OasisX:


.......are you kinda comparing our mode of government to US?! LOL!

Georgia for instance has both House of Assembly and the Senate. Federating Units in the USA are nations within Country.

[color=royalblue]You have not reminded me of the land mass, and how many men are ruling it.

Na simple question I ask [/color]

OasisX:
......when did this country come into existence?! Less down 100yrs ago. I do not see any comparison here, coz USA and China have been created far longer than Royal Niger Company discovered some primitive people in west africa region.

[color=royalblue]Na you dey shift post.

You said Nigeria is too big for one man. When presented with countries where Nigeria is like 3 states combined, you shifted to existence

The truth is Regional governance would be worse than what we have now.

Just yesterday, we talked about state governors. Despite what they have, none of them have developed their state to a reasonable standard, in relation to their handouts from FG and their IGR.

So what makes you think a Regional government will change anything? Oh suddenly, SE, SS and SW will become Dubai in 60 years? Na lie.

As long as there are no systems to demand accountability and dispense justice, if you like divide Nigeria to 774 countries, Nothing changes.[/color]

The total area of the UAE is approximately 83,600km².

Nigeria is too big to be ruled by just one person sitting in Abuja with less down 30% clues of situations in the federating units.

We need to go back to regional government, if we don't want to divide the country. Honestly I do not see how this country can be developed to reasonable standards in the next 200yrs.

[color=royalblue]Remind me of the land mass of the USA.

After that, remind me of how many people are ruling it[/color]

BlueRayDick:
That’s how most forward thinking business people think na.

U see a competitor that has prospect and May one day edge u out of the market with its product offering ; the reasonable thing to do is to buy the competitor now that u still have the money . Use ur years of experience to further that their prospect and u Also still have a control of the general market .

[color=royalblue]I am thinking as a consumer

Very soon, anything juice i touch my hands on will be from Coca-cola

And the moment that achieve that, Instant monopoly. [/color]

BlueRayDick:
Coca Cola already bought Chi limited since 2019 na and the company has not died any painful death .

I think it’s just a case of Coca Cola seeing a viable business , offering the owners good money they cannot resist and Coca Cola expanding their product line .

Coca Cola seem to be a good company cos I didn’t hear of Chi staff being retrenched enmass since 2019 when Coca Cola bought over t he business ; that’s commendable if u ask me cos most takeover like that usually affect the staff majorly and not the owners who have collected their money and move on

[color=royalblue]I am not talking about retrenchment.

I'm talking about not wanting any competition at all.

GloriousGbola:
coca cola will soon be a monopoly on all sugar water

they already own five alive.

if they have bought chi i cannot think of any other large juice maker off the top of my head

dansa died a few years back

[color=royalblue]That's what they do.

The moment they see another competitor, they buy you immediately.

I heard they tried buying La Casera, but the owner said "Over his dead body" [/color]

BlueRayDick:
Why do u say they are wicked ?

[color=royalblue]They have a history of buying am their competitors and let them die a slow and painful death

Limca never recovered after they bought it.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Wait

CocaCola bought Chi Limited (Makers of Hollandia)

These people are wicked[/color]

Na only God knows wetin the king dey find upandan. His visit was so unnecessary shebi dem don give Emefiele N300m bail ; the king should lend him the bail sum if Emefiele wants to claim he doesn't have and they will release him.

[color=royalblue]E dey ask for release.

In a sane country, dem suppose bundle am join with Emefiele there.[/color]

popizaino:
All of them are theives, and i am not trying to neglect the FG but while the FG is trying to steal only 20% of the 50% available to him,the state government on the other hand is trying to steal 90% of whatever percentage he received from the FG. Now tell me, who is the bigger thief?

Also, when you compare the quality of FG projects and social intervention programmes with the funds that go into them,you will discover that the FG still kind of have us at heart.

Now,what do state governments do? Neglect every other local government in the state to construct one substandard 5km dua carriage road in the capital with non functioning streetlights or build one needless overhead bridge and call it development. There should be a special hell for Nigerian state Governors.

[color=royalblue]As long as every state needs to wait for 30th of every month to collect handouts, then they have the liberty to keep thieving.

Let everybody contribute to the centre, rather than collecting ECA and Security votes monthly.

Then let me see how BK and Banditry, or Unknown gunmen won't end in one month[/color]

[color=royalblue]If person insult this guy, dem go say na disrespect to Royal throne/ a whole tribe.

Na wa![/color]

https://www.nairaland.com/7932829/ooni-ife-visits-ex-cbn-governor

[color=royalblue]Yeah

The only item we will miss is Ariel, Vicks and Always. Pampers is almost not existing anymore. The rest are not produced here. How many Nigerians fit afford Original Gillette?

But then, it means a large portion of job loss would happen..Factory workers o ti lo

I really feel for P&G sha

They sold their Agbara factory then and went to Oluyole.

Now, na to turn a whole factory to ordinary warehouse.

Chai![/color]

BlueRayDick:
The major issue for those companies switching to import-only business model is the high cost of production. The unavailability of stable electricity is a serious headache for most manufacturers. When they compute the total cost they spend on diesel , the management expense on the production staff and how much they spend on sorting different regulatory agencies like SON, NAFDAC, etc; an import-only business model seem like the way to go.

Michelin & Dunlop adopted the model after relocating production to Ghana with more stable electricity and less corrupt government agencies and from all indications it appears their decisions were the right one.

The funny thing is if Nigeria's electricity supply becomes stable, we won't need to be chasing investors all over the world; they will be begging us to invest in our country. Whichever government that fixes Nigeria's power sector will be regarded as the best ever.

[color=royalblue]True

Another issue is that these Companies have standards.

I have never seen a Chinese company relocating because of any issue. They would reduce the quality or size, to make up for it.

But these foreign guys must ensure they keep their standard and word. [/color]

Lmaooo...

[color=royalblue]P&G have always had it tough in the past 10 years plus. I think this model is best for them

Firstly, Pampers is not existing anymore because Moflix kicked them out of business. Even the Moflix sef is having it hot hot with all these 50 naira diapers.

Na only Always pads dey give dem ROI, and yet, all these local ones don full everywhere.

I support their Import move. The prices of their items cannot survive here at all.[/color]

[color=royalblue]The way the NA is handling what they did in Kaduna in disheartening.

No formal memo on what happened. No press statement

No apology. No visit from the COAS to the community

No heads rolling because of this. No news on compensation.

May God not let me be killed like this.[/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
U said his sole contribution was that he broke the circle of old politician..planted his boys thus Anambra is miles ahead of Enugu. Peter did the same in Anambra. who sabi Willy Obiano before the APGA primary?


Which development(s) that Obi brought to Anambra & made Anambra to be miles ahead?

I want to know about those developments

[color=royalblue]I said he broke the cycle of old politicians; The Onuh's back then. It was a good thing

You sef don search finish, and you no see anything to take hype Enugu again abi? [/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Bad road is a factor. Nobody want to drive his car on a bad road. So dey get d cheap alternative to navigate d death trap called road in nnewi

[color=royalblue]And in Enugu state, how do you navigate death traps? Lexus LX570, shey?

You're just dulling my energy by listing bad roads.

List what is developed in Enugu outside that capital.

I love Enugu. I lived there, and i hope to retire there someday, but the capital is just all there is to it.

Enugu does not come close to Anambra in terms of development and infrastructure. Shikena[/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
If u attack Chiboy of promoting the culture of political...every more worrisome cox he is a trained medical doctor i will take my L.

If u say he focused more on taking d major infrastructure to Nkanu.. no wahala.

[color=royalblue]He took Renaissance University and UNTH?

Is this the "Major" infrastructure he took to Nkanu?

Provide clarity, Mazi[/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
e neva reach a month wey i enter nkwo nnewi... from uke, ideani except alor & neni the roads there is sh!t. The access roads in nnewi is trash that d number of private bikes/commercial bikes is 3x the human population.

[color=royalblue]Nnewi is the home of Bikes

Since the 90s, Bikes have been assembled in Nnewi.

You will be ignorant use this as a weak point, when everybody there can afford one, and most likely it is one of the cheapest places to get bikes

Talk another thing.[/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
U said nothing my brother. Under Chiboy, there was water in enugu 24/7... Doctors & teachers did not go on strike. Obi brought his successor just like Nnamani.

The Opi~Nsukka road was 1st constructed by Ebe~ano before Ugwuanyi dualized it. Obollo-afor to Ogurute road too...build up different roads linking d town 2 UNN.

[color=royalblue]I did not say anything about Obi successorship. Wetin concern me with that? I am telling you Chi-boy did well by raising successors.

Chi-boy did nothing bro. You're just clutching at straws by listing one or two road. Do you think Yari or Bello did not construct one or two roads?

Apart from the Capital, name another city in Enugu that can match the list I intend to draw up here? Abi you think say i never live for Enugu?

Apart from Enugu and I'll skip Awka, list the towns in Enugu that are developed.

Let me help you with the list sef
1) Nsukka
2) Agbani[/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Which development(s) are you talking about?

Obi also brought Obiano from US.... na normal thing for outgoing Nigerian governors. In the last gubernatorial election in Anambra, he massively campaigned for Val Ozigbo.

[color=royalblue]Enugu and Anambra in the same sentence when we talk of developments? You dey whine me?

Apart from the capital, which i still love, where exactly is developed in Enugu? You don go Nsukka before? The sweetest roads are majorly in the Capital, nothing else.

No be Enugu wey just dey discover water for ground since the 90s? Abeg.

Chime was the only governor that improved the state in terms of infrastructure and development.

Na this state you wan compare to Anambra?

[/color]

afrodoc2:
Government office infrastructure costs more than the combined Health and Education infrastructure for the whole state? 😄

[color=royalblue]Na there e thief naa.

You don see am![/color]

OasisX:
In 2005, Chimaroke Nnamani budgeted just ₦1.4B for Governor's Office, while ₦10.7B and ₦4.3B are for Education and Health respectively.

Guess what? Same Nnamani is still considered a Thief. So if Obi is a lesser Thief, then Nnamani is what?! LOL!

You're being objective to a certain point sha.

[color=royalblue]Why not compare a 2009 Budget for both states? Bringing a 2005 budget in 2009 is crafty

Okay what was Anambra's budget for Governor's office in 2005?

Anambra is miles ahead of Enugu in development, so wetin Nnamani do gan gan?

The only contribution of Chimaraoke was he broke the old cycle of politicians and raised his boys to grow. Every single governor after him was/is his boy, even the current one.

The Chinese man wanted to cry ..lmao. his ears were hearing all kinds of things.
