And these phantom political godfathers also coined the term?

Well, believe what you want. It won't change reality. Your whole argument is politically insignificant wordplay. If the South South was called Outer East, or Peripheral East, or Border East, it would have no effect on anything regarding their position relative to the other zones or their interaction with those zones, just as the labeling of certain areas as the "Midwest" - a region that no longer exists - does nothing to bring the inhabitants of Delta or Edo state into some sort of political rapport with the South West.

Who were the god-fatherS that coined the name if I may ask?
Did the Mid-West region ever exist?

Why is there West in Mid-West, North in North Central, and no East in South South? Why south South? Why not Mid-East? or maybe East Central?

I am glad because of your honesty. These are the type of arguments I like having .

First of all, those period were during the military period. Those Northern and ONE western leader were NOT democratically elected, hence, you cannot hold them accountable.
Secondly, OBJ was known to not be in support of the West, you, I and the rest of the country knows this so you were not honest there. This is the reason why the West HATES him. OBJ showed no favouritism to the West, in fact, he stopped the funds in Lagos, can you imagine. I believe he showed the East more favour than the West hence the emergence of Dora and her likes.

Okay, about the geographical expressions, teh "SS" is made up from the Old west (Mid west) and the Old East. It is to stop domination and rightly so since Nigeria was SPECIALLY made for the Big 3 not for other ethnic groups. So as there is a "Mid-west" , there must also be a "SS" and a "North central".

I highlighted this fact in my main post. OBJ was fair. This was a result of his experience and betrayal by his supposed Northern cronies. That man was almost executed by Abacha for nothing. He came to his senses. He did not favor the East. He considered qualification and capability over ethnic considerations. He gave opportunity to every region and ethnic group to partake in his government. There were equally qualified Northerners, Westerners and Easterners in his government. His grudge against lagos state was simply partisan. I stated that OBJ was brutal against the opposition. ACN was in charge of Lagos state, hence his opposition. Ogun , Oyo and other Western states that PDP was in charge of got the full support of OBJ. He was not partial though. He gave equal attention to other regions.

^^^^

The South-South thing has been answered already. Ask Alex Ekwueme. He's still alive.

[b]Ekwueme is like Orji Uzor Kalu. He too is a puppet to the West and the North. He holds no responsibility for the East in anyway. This is why he was heavily voted against for OBJ, because it is preferable to have a Westerner than to have an Easterner that actually does not have Eastern attitude and culture at heart. He was the vice president once, what did he achieve? He danced to the tune of his Northern and Western bosses, while building big hotels in the East. Ofcourse, Ekwueme would do anything to impress his godfathers. He was used to carry out alot of stoopid actions, including the proposition of the Zoning arrangement. Like I wrote in the main post, alot of Igbos were used as puppets by the Northern and Western hegemony. Peter Obi, Goodluck ebele Jonathan, S. Chime, R. Amaechi, etc are examples of real Eastern politicians.
Having said much, there is nothing like the South South. This statement does not in anyway amount to me trying to claim that the SS belongs to the South East. There is only Northern, Western and Eastern regions in Nigeria. Mid-WEST is in the western Region, NORTH-Central is in the Northern region and the South South is in the Eastern region (Note the systematic removal of anything East from the name). Chai Nigeria! LMAO! I've never seen any bigger form of deception. [/b]

My guy, you are not being honest with me and yourself. We cannot blame the North or the West for our STATE leaders, its simply nonsensical. Why didn't the Western hegemony (OBJ) install his man in Ogun state Not until we are honest with our analysis, there will be no progress in Southern Nigeria (federalism or Not) or our individual republics (mine is clear )

@Fashola
Tinubu cannot hold Fashola down and you know it. If you have lived in Lagos, you would have realised that Fashola could have gone to another party and still win Lagos state because of their sophistication (by both Yorubas,Igbo, Hausas and other ethnic groups). The problem we have is lack of honesty, if ACN have did well in ALL their respective states, then, why can't they produce Fashola as a candidate The only, I repeat, THE ONLY reason he will win is if Tribalism comes to play,hence, why I have been saying 2015 will be very very interesting because that year will question our very fundamental fears, desire and limit of sacrifice each group can endure for the Nation. The Hausa man will want to rule, the Igbo man believes it is his turn, the Yoruba man believe this is the time for massive development, the SS and NC votes will be split immensely and we will witness another "GREAT DIVIDE" in the shape of "Y".
As you can see and as I believe, most Igbos and "Easterners" want Biafra, right? Most Yorubas want Oduduwa with/without their Benin brothers. The SS is split, possible Edo and Itsekiris (hopefully Uhrobos and some Ijaws ) will go with Oduduwa while the rest will probably go with Biafra.

The point of all this is, Firstly, Tinubu cannot stop Fashola. Only God and Fashola himself can stop Fashola.
Secondly, Igbo will surely want 2015, and in all fairness, I am not against that except the fact that southerners jettisoned zoning we now want to bring back zoning when it suits us.
Thridly, the Core-North will want power or atleast Sambo to continue after GEJ.
Finally, I want to ask a question and I need to to be honest seen I have been honest with you:
How do you now think the west is the cause for all the East woos?? Please believe me, those are very bad propagandas done by some south eastern leaders after the war. None of it is true.

[b]
Your question in bold shows that you have not understood my point. This is not about the Woes of the East or Division of Nigeria, this is about the inability of the West and North to bring about development and progress despite the fact that the regions dominated political power and leadership for over 40 years. Is it not appalling that Nigeria retrogressed so much after the East was dumped out of the political equation? Do you know that Nigeria started using GSM after 1999? Do you know that ATMs just started cropping up in Nigeria? What happened to our educational system i.e. UNN, OAU, UI etc? Why have our electric power sector gotten so badly damaged? These are questions that Western and Northern leaders needs to answer because they were at the helm of affairs. It took individuals from the Eastern region for some of those neglected factors to be given some air of revival. Don't deny the fact that the Gowons, Objs, shagaris, IBBs of this world destroyed Nigeria.
Like I have always insisted here, The North and West have intellectuals, but they were given no fair chance due to the issue of selfishness and ethnic considerations by Northern and Western leaders, which is well ingrained in the leadership culture of those regions. Do you truly think that ACN and CPC would have made appreciable impacts and political advancements as they did in 2011 in politics if it was a Northerner or a Westerner that was at the helm of affairs? Even OBJ, as fair as he became, crushed opposition without mercy because he wanted his own people to be in charge.
I don't intend to argue about the Fashola and Tinubu issue. It is clear the type of politician Tinubu is. Even a village illiterate will tell you what that man is capable of doing.
Don't tell me that you don't know what states make up the EASTERN region of Nigeria. That will amount to hypocrisy. Nigeria fought the East during the civil war. Going by the legal geographical pattern in Nigeria, that region remains in the East irrespective of the fact that it has been divided into many states and deceptive regional grouping. For example, what is South South? Why is there no West West, East East and North North? [/b]

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=659605.msg8259051#msg8259051 date=1304526299]I thought you people usually say ibos are the ones developing yorubaland after running from the evil spirits in iboland ? huh

So how can SE be more developed than SW ?[/quote]The Eastern region is not South East. It is made up of states in the Eastern region. Cure yourself of your ethnic bigotry. May God help you before you run mad.
Just to add, yes, the developmental attribute of easterners is rubbing off on the Western region. The migration of Easterners is mainly to Lagos state. It is understandable giving the former status of the state as the capital of Nigeria. I wonder where the west would be without migrants and resources from Eastern Nigeria. Migration to the West is for more of business and competitive advantage due to the sea port and airport, which is part of benefits that accrued to the west from the Western and Northern longterm political leadership. There is nothing beautiful or special about Western region.

Have u ever heard that any southwesterner woke up Monday and will be willing to travel to the east to go and stay? Tufiapa. Thts is an abomination. In the whole of Nigeria, your region suffer more for lack of infractructural dev. If Fed govt purposely neglected them, they have not taken any giant stride to develop them themselves and you said my region is poor. May be you leave in the moon.

Do you truly believe that the Western region is more developed than the Eastern region? The Eastern region is way way ahead of the western region inspite of the unfortunate civil war that we suffered in. Count from Cross River to Delta, Rivers to Enugu, you will see that your western region is still way behind despite all the power you had to ensure better development.
The question is, WHAT DID THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN REGION DO WITH THE POLITICAL POWER THAT THEY HAD FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS? HOW DID NIGERIA BECOME SO BACKWARDS UNDER THEM?

Okay, if that is the case, why do Igbo leaders still want 2015 [/b]I mean, there are a lot more capable hands than an Igbo president. [b]What about Fashola?? You see? Your argument smacks right back on your face because the same Igbo leaders will scream marginalisation. Please, do not get me wrong, I am for the most capable hands but your idea of castigating the North and West where the exact same thing is happening in the East and the SS even my state. Now, [b]what about Orji?? Why have we not given the "power" to the Ngwas in Abia state You see?? [/b]Your logic of the "east" cannot simply work. Sorry.

[b]Oh yes, I agree with you that Fashola is a capable hand. The question you should ask is can Tinubu allow him to be the president of Nigeria? Will Tinubu's selfish interest not over ride his sense of proper reasoning? Tinubu no go allow Fashola to be president when him never test am? Imagine how fast Tinubu rushed to present a Westerner as the vice presidential candidate of the last election, without even searching. Be truthful, was that guy truly the best candidate he could find? That is what I am talking about.]
Look at how Tinubu forced his wife and relatives on ACN, irrespective of the capability and qualification of other contestants?! Can such a thing happen in the East without being challenged? No way! Do you know why Soludo failed when he contested for the governorship position in Anambra state? It is because they tried to force him on the people of Anambra state. All the ACN governors that are being celebrated in the south west were virtually handpicked by Tinubu. Even Fashola himself was handpicked by Tinubu. Where is the fairness? Are those handpicked ACN aspirants the best that could be gotten. That is what I am talking about. Nigeria cannot succeed that way.
Fashola only has a chance of becoming a president if he runs as an independent candidate or under PDP. Jonathan (An Easterner) will not mind handing over to him due to his competence and proven record. IT is only an Easterner that can willingly do that. That is why Westerners and Northerners think that we are fools, even though we show more urge to be fair and realistic.
Stop using Orji Uzor Kalu to make your point. He is a product of the Northern and Western hegemony. He is a puppet to the Northern Mafia. He is IBB's boy. Don't use him to make a point because he doesn't represent the ideal character of Easterners. [/b]

Bros, I no dey vex (hence, the no offence statement). The so called "East" or "West" or "North" was in the 1960's not now because if there is an "East" then there must be a "West" which includes Edo and Delta; and also a "North" which includes the NC. You see my point We are back to the 60's where ethnic politics will be the order of the day. We all collectively fought for it. The SE, SS, SW and NC. In fact, the NC took the most risk. Now my point is, if we fought HARD to stop Ethnic politics or "Born to rule" politics, why should we now do the same thing we forbid others to do We should we do the same thing that we/you condemn other for Hope you understand me . . . . .

[b]My use of East is strictly on geographical basis. There are many ethnic groups in the present Eastern region of Nigeria. My point is that several improvements that Nigeria have experienced in the past few years have been as a result of the efforts of the Nigerians from the Eastern region. This, I attributed to the fair leadership nature of Easterners. Easterners believe in one Nigeria more than Nigerians from other regions. This has reflected in their style of Leadership and dispersion through out every region in Nigeria. Which group disperses more than the groups in the Eastern region?
The ethnic based nature of westerners and Northerners reflects in their leadership style. Unfortunately for Northerners and Westerners, salvaging Nigeria requires fair leadership, which Easterners can offer more.
Obasanjo is one of the most patriotic Nigerians alive. It took old age and some terrible experiences for him to think fairly and understand the bitter truth. He keeps saying that the best thing that can happen to Nigeria is Jonathan, for the sake of peace and unity. Do you think he really meant "Jonathan"?
Unfair leadership causes the negligence of qualified and capable individuals, which is the root cause of Nigeria's problems propagated by past leadership of the North and West. How else would Zoning and Federal character have gained prominence if not through tribalism?[/b]

Politics › The North And West Failed Nigeria: Only Eastern Nigeria Can Save Nigeria by Justcash(op): 8:05am On May 04, 2011

It is said that to understand the present, one needs to go back to the past.

After Nigeria's independence, it was Easterners that believed more in one Nigeria that any other ethnic group. This was reflected in the posture of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, even when his peers; O. Awolowo, A. Bello and T. Balewa were busy playing ethnic politics. Till today, he is being called a fool by easterners and Nigerians from other regions for striving so hard for the unity of Nigeria instead of representing his region.

Before the civil war, Easterners moved in droves into other regions, due to their belief in one Nigeria. The other groups moved cautiously for fear of the unknown. Easterners took their families, and built their lives in those regions. KADUNA Nzeogwu is a product of one of such families. He was more Northern than Eastern. This must have played a big part in his decision to wipe out the ruling class, afterall, they were Nigerians like him. Instead of Nigerians from other regions to see it as a Nigerian issue, they turned it into an ethnic issue and attacked the Easterners that believed in one Nigeria, killing them enmass and reminding them that they don't belong to other regions. If they didn't belong to other regions, why then were they existing in one country with other regions? This betrayal was the reason for the struggle by Easterners to leave.

The war reflected the importance of the Eastern region as a uniting factor in Nigeria. The way other regions fought and died just to keep the Eastern region from leaving shows how much they wanted the Eastern region to be in the equation. If the Eastern region was not important, they would have left the region to go. They did not. After the war, the Eastern region was neglected, and made less influential in the political equation.

Within the period that the Eastern region was neglected, Nigeria deteriorated. Everything crumbled in Nigeria. Though the North and Western region were in control of the political affairs of the country, Corruption rate rose, unemployment rate increased, More wealth created more poverty instead of progress, Infrastructures crumbled and Nigeria became a big "Shame" in Africa. The only place that Nigeria improved was in Sports were the Eastern region had a fair chance.

Yes, some Easterners served under the Northern and Western leaderships, but those Easterners were carefully chosen and made Northern and Western puppets. They only did what they were told to do, and were thrown out as soon as they tried to prove stubborn. That was the price of the civil war defeat.
The only time the Easterners had a chance to partake fairly in Nigeria's politics was in 1999, under O. Obasanjo. He gave Easterners a fair chance to run the government with him. The impact was instant.

The hitherto dead Central Bank of Nigeria became vibrant under an Easterner. The Economy of Nigeria regained some prestige from the debt cancellation embarked on by an easterner. The Telecom sector of Nigeria suddenly got 'updated" under an Easterner. The quality of health related products improved for Nigerians under another Easterner. The impact was really immediate. One would ask, where was L. Sanusi before C. Soludo? Why did it take an Eastern Finance minister to cancel the debt of Nigeria? I am not saying that other regions did not have intellectuals, but the political leadership of the North and West never gave them a chance. Their leaderships were characterized by blind ethnic politics than progress.

Of recent, Nigeria almost disintegrated. There were problems looming everywhere. These problems were violently contained by O. Obasanjo, but they increased as soon as the new Northern leader gradually went back to the old order by giving appointments based on ethnic affiliation than capability. Things were going from good to bad.

Obasanjo, who maintained firm grip of the political sphere of Nigeria noticed this and intervened. He got the opportunity to place an Easterner in the political leadership of Nigeria when the president fell ill. He succeeded with the unfortunate demise of the president. As soon as an Easterner got into power, all the problems subsided. This same Easterner was the one that brought militancy to a halt. He faced issues fairly and squarely, irrespective of ethnic affiliation. Why must it take an Easterner for everything to be fair? For the first time, the votes of Nigerians counted, and Nigerians now believe in Nigeria more than ever.

The neglect of Eastern Nigeria is the beginning of Nigeria's failure. An Easterner is in charge of electric power issues, watch what will happen in a few years to come. The long standing electric power issue will be solved. Why must it take an Easterner to solve it? If It was a Northerner that was in power, and the present CBN governor was an Easterner, he would have pushed him out for ethnic reasons. This was the reason why Soludo was pushed out and Sanusi was appointed to patronise the powers in Kano. Where was Sanusi before 1999?

I am not here to insult other regions, but they have proved to be incapable of giving Nigeria a progressive political representation. They must as a matter of urgency recognise the importance of Eastern Nigerians and try as much as possible to be fair in their political leadership for Nigeria to succeed.
MARK MY WORDS. NIGERIA WILL NEVER DISINTEGRATE UNDER AN EASTERNER. IT CAN ONLY DO SO UNDER A NORTHERNER OR WESTERNER.
THE TRUTH IS BITTER.

Dis Guy:
one would expect a performing governor to reduce the burgeoning public sector, free up funds to achieve much more. keeping the civil servants comfy and frugally managing the remaining is not innovative, he should create an environment where private sectors come in to take over some govt function

[b]Mr, trying to use innovation to ensure a change in culture is normally a long-term project. It doesn't happen in 5 years. More over, to what extent is there FG owned.built advanced commercial infrastructures that stimulates trade in Enugu state? Do you know that the long standing SEA Port and International airport in Lagos alone is very beneficial to Lagos state's government? When we Enugu airport upgraded to international status?
Fact is that people move to Lagos for commercial purpose not because Lagos is beautiful or safe. Lagos is no where as beautiful or as safe as Enugu for the past 4 years. People go to Lagos for business and return to Enugu to relax and enjoy their money.
The Business attractiveness of Lagos due to the presence of federal owned infrastructures like the seaport and MMIA provides them with Tax fund. these infrastructures attracts private sector investments and ensures the creation of more private investments. everyone wants to be close to the major source of goods import and distribution.
If the FG opens up the seaports in Anambra and other states, the trend will change, and the tax income rate of Lagos state will drop. This will not happen now, but it will definitely be so in the nearest future if Nigeria remains one.[/b]

The problem with SOME not-so-smart Yoruba contributors on Nairaland is that they find it befitting to insult and degrade other tribes, while they try to over hype their own tribe. Their reasoning is really overshadowed by ethnic concerns and it may lead to their untimely demise.
If I may ask you guys, What has Fashola achieved that is different from what Amaechi or Chime has achieved? Too much of noise making! SMH

[b]Fashola has performed well, but cannot be compared to what Chime did in Enugu with the small amount of income that the state gat.
It is ignorant to be shouting Lagos gat more schools, more population, more this and more that. How many of those schools, hospitals etc are owned by the Lagos state government? How many people does the Lagos state government employ and feed out of their huge population? Wetin concern private business owners and Lagos state government if not tax? Who benefits from the tax. With the tax, the Lagos state government have been able to do all these stuffs that they are doing.
Lagos is made up of a bigger percentage of private sector than public sector. The private sector supplies the income that helps in maintaining the public sector. Enugu, like Imo state, is made up of almost 80% public sector. Salaries of government workers alone takes up alot of government's money. Yet the governor is able to carve out development effectively. Imagine what he would have done if there were more IGR through the private sector. Chime has achieved everything that Fashola can boast of. Is it Roads, Hospitals, Schools, Security, Clean environment, Traffic Lights, Transportation (Rail, Bus, Cab etc), Security etc. These he did with little income. That is why he is the best.
Fashola is exactly like Amaechi. Big income, yet some commendable strides, but not enough. The difference is that Fashola gets his more through IGR, while Amaechi gets his from Oil dividends.[/b]

Obi is appreciated in Anambra. Anambra people are satisfied to know that their money is in safe hands, and that developmental strides are gradually being made.
If Ngige comes out to run against Obi for any political post that requires the general vote of Anambra people, Obi will beat him. However, Ngige can win against any other opponent for a lower position, especially those that require votes from a segment of the population of the people.
The democratic nature of Anambra people and Igbos in general makes such scenarios possible.

Politics › Jonathan’s Ministerial List Coming Week After Inauguration by Justcash(op): 6:22am On May 02, 2011

[b]There were indications at the weekend that President Goodluck Jonathan’s list of appointees to the federal cabinet may be ready by the first week immediately after his inauguration on May 29.

Presidency sources confirmed Saturday night that Jonathan is determined to hit “the ground running” and would like to speed up the appointment of key cabinet positions to assist him in the task of governance.

“Those days when we had to wait two to three months before the cabinet list is ready are over. A list will be sent to the senate within days of the president’s inauguration,” the source added.

Jonathan’s predecessor, President Umaru Yar'Adua, submitted his list in the month of July and formed his cabinet on July 26, 2007, after the Senate had ratified his ministerial nominees.

The senate made President Olusegun Obasanjo’s list of 40 ministerial nominees public on June 24, 2003 when it began their screening.

The source said Jonathan would break the tradition of delay in the constitution of the cabinet so that he can focus on his core task of leading the nation.

The president, who is on a retreat at Obudu Cattle Ranch, Calabar, it was gathered, had begun consultations with PDP major stakeholders towards preparing a list for the senate’s ratification.

On the likely composition of the cabinet, the source that would be too early to say but added that it would be “all inclusive.”
He said the president plans to form a broad-based government that would reflect the nation’s complexity and take care of the interests of all major stakeholders in the Nigerian project.

He said, “Jonathan believes he has no enemies to fight. His goal is to bring everybody together to build a greater nation than the one he inherited. He is planning an all-inclusive government that will reflect the variegated nature of our federalism.”

When asked if the president intends to form a government of national unity like his predecessor, sources in the presidency said the aim is not to resort to clichés but ensure the all interests are included in the Nigerian project to achieve development.

The source said the presidential retreat is to enable the president attend to pending state matters so that he can recover the time he spent away from his desk during the campaign for the presidential election.

“As you know there are pending matters that need to be attended to, so the president chose to go to Obudu where there will be the least distraction to dispense with memos and files that require his attention,” explained the source.

During the retreat, the president, it was further gathered, will meet with some top aides on the direction of government.
Other than his wife who travelled with him to Obudu, others in the contingent include Ambassador Godknows Boladei Igali, a seasoned diplomat and currently an aide to the president.

Politics › After 2011 Polls: Fitch Upgrades Nigeria's Rating And Naira Appreciates In Value by Justcash(op): 6:02am On May 02, 2011

[b] More Good News
The financial markets which have hitherto experienced tightness, pre-general elections concluded last week, began to ease following analysts’ and international positive reaction to the entire voting process.

The financial market reacted positively to the strength of the elections’ outcome with the naira firming up against the US dollar but with the inter-bank bond yields slowing down.

It is understood that the transparent nature of the election convinced the international rating agency - Fitch Ratings - to review and upgrade the country’s rating last week, a move that is certain to increase the country’s investment profile.

Wednesday last week, total demand for dollar dropped by 14.5 percent to $277.066 million, as against the $323 million total demand that was recorded the previous Wednesday. The banking watchdog also reduced its supply of the dollar at Thursday’s session by 37.5 percent.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had offered a total of $250 million while the 18 banks that participated at the auction put up a total demand of $277.06 million.
The local currency was equally firm at other segments of the forex market. At the Bureau De Change (BDC) and parallel segments, the naira maintained its N156/$1 and N157/$1, respectively.

The Nigeria Inter-bank T-Bill True Yield Fixing (NITTY Yield Curve) declined in all tenors last Friday.

The one month NITTY declined by 0.18 percent to close at 5.5479 percent, while the two month NITTY went down 0.03 percent to close at 7.5742 percent, and the three month NITTY came down by 1.06 percent to close the week at 8.5464 percent.

All other tenor NITTY also fell last Friday. Wale Abe, chief executive officer of the Financial Market Dealers Association of Nigeria (FMDA) told BusinessDay that improved confidence in Nigeria could be seen in lowering demand for dollar.

He said demand for foreign exchange has gone down dramatically as pre-election capital flight has stopped. Abe traced the new trend to the country’s new risk profile which has improved tremendously and the new rating by Fitch.

Unegbu Okechukwu, former president of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), believes the commendation by international observers alone is enough to bolster the confidence of both local and international observers.

He recalls that President Goodluck Jonathan promised credible elections and delivered. He has also delivered on his other promises and given investors confidence that he can be trusted by investors.

Unegbu said unlike what was done in the past, the country does not need to advertise before she attracts foreign investors. Investors will only come if they know you can be trusted.

He said it is not as if money has started pouring in, but those who were skeptical and held on to their money are beginning to come out of their shell.

Bismarck Rewane, chief executive of Financial Derivatives Company (FDC) believes that the liquidity surfeit that is being witnessed now is as a result of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) bonds which are being discounted.

He also said that bond yields are coming down as a result of the liquidity from AMCON.

Politics › Re: Fashola Vs Chime Vs Amaechi Vs Akpabio(who Is The Best Governor In Nigeria) by Justcash(m): 4:24am On May 02, 2011

[b]Chime is the first. He is the man. He is building Enugu state with peanuts. For those of you saying that Nnamani built stuffs, y'all don't know what you are saying. Go to Enugu and see "Obodo Oyibo".
Fashola is second. He happens to be fortunate to be enjoying the IGR that is accrued to his government from the commercial viability of Lagos state. Most companies have their headquarters in the state. This includes Oil firms, Banks, Telecom providers etc. He was not the one that attracted them to the state, they have been there before he was elected. Lagos is being seen as the entry route and best investment destination in Nigeria, considering it's Former "National Capital" Status and big federal infrastructures like the long standing and well developed Sea Ports and International airport. Tinubu also enjoyed this huge IGR. Fashola have however impacted positively on the provision of infrastructures more than Tinubu. It is not just about the white elephants projects. It is about his impact on security, health sector, Transport sector, Roads etc. Most of these white elephant projects are undertaken to provide jobs and create some source of income for Lagosians in the short term, with a long term plan of completing the projects. More commendable is that those projects are capital investments.
Amaechi is the third. He is as fortunate as Fashola interms of revenue. The difference is that his revenue comes from the natural resources in the state. Like Fashola, he has been able to put these resources in good use by providing basic infrastructures like roads, security, hospitals, schools etc. He has created jobs and have given hope to some Rivers state people who never had the hope of gaining quality education abroad. I have seen many of them in different countries. He is definitely touching the lives of Rivers people and Nigerians in general. I also think that he curtailed the crime rate in rivers state, compared to when Peter Odili was there.
Peter Obi is another very good governor. He is the fourth on my list. The problem with Peter Obi is that he believes in evolutionary than revolutionary development. He takes it very slow and steady, but he is hitting the right spots. He has provided good roads, hospitals, schools, security etc. He is prudent in his financial management of the state, and Anambra's IGR is second to Lagos state.
Adams Oshimole is the fifth best governor. I'v not been to his state lately, but I think he is making the right impact. This is so, considering the support he enjoys from ordinary Edo people and the various projects that I have heard that he embarked on. His humble leadership and close relationship with the grassroots is indeed phenomenal.

I truly don't think Godswill Akpabio should be counted among the best governors considering his dangerous political antics. Me think that if he was really good, he'd not go around molesting and imprisoning opponents. None of the governors that are in my list would treat their opponents like this man did in order to win in a free and fair election. [/b]

Politics › Fg To Construct New Roads And Expand "trunk A" Roads Across Nigeria by Justcash(op): 2:56am On May 02, 2011

[b] TOO MUCH OF BAD NEWS ALREADY, LET'S GET SOME GOOD NEWS

Worried by the deplorable condition of roads across the country and the attendant losses, the Federal Government has come up with an ambitious plan to bequeath better road infrastructure in the next two years, EMEKA EZEKIEL writes. The Federal Government will spend N700bn to finance various road construction and rehabilitation projects across the country between 2011 and 2013.

This is contained in a document titled, “Federal Government’s proposed expenditure on road rehabilitation, upgrade and expansion between 2011 and 2013,” a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent from the National Planning Commission in Abuja on Friday.

According to the document, the Federal Government will spend N461.8bn on the rehabilitation and expansion of Trunk ‘A’ roads across the country.

Specifically, N5.5bn will be spent on the dualisation of the Onitsha-Owerri road and the Onitsha Eastern Bypass; N2.6bn on the dualisation of the Section 1 of the Ibadan-Ilorin road; N6.97bn on the construction of the Kano Western Bypass and N565.3bn on routine maintenance and strengthening of road failures.

The document said, “The total capital outlay for the massive rehabilitation and expansion of all Trunk ‘A’ roads and the ongoing road construction is N461.8bn. To increase the percentage of roads in good condition from 20 per cent to 70 per cent within the plan period, the Federal Government will embark on the rehabilitation, upgrade and modernisation of 7,000km Federal Trunk ‘A’ roads.

“The network will be kept in a useable condition through the activities of FERMA (Federal Roads Maintenance Agency) across the various locations in the country, which will result in the maintenance of about 19,868km of the existing road network by 2013. The total capital outlay estimated for the completion of the projects is N700bn.”

Nigeria has a total road network of 193,200km, comprising 34,123km federal roads, 30,500km state roads and 129,577km local government roads.

Ironically, despite huge budgetary allocations for road construction and rehabilitation by the government, more than 70 per cent of the 34,123km federal roads across the country are currently in deplorable conditions.

For instance, between 2009 and 2010, about 61 projects valued at N214bn were awarded under the zonal intervention programme of the Ministry of Works. But most of the projects have not been completed.

The Minister of State for Works, Mr. Chris Ogiemwonyi, told our correspondent that the Federal Government had concluded plans to concession the construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of some federal roads, including the Abuja-Lokoja Expressway, to the private sector under a Public-Private Partnership scheme.

This, he said, was part of efforts to ensure that they were put in good condition all the time.

The contract for the reconstruction of the Abuja-Lokoja road, along with the Port Harcourt-Eket and Kano-Maiduguri roads, into dual-carriage highways, was awarded by the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in July 2006, under a Presidential initiative at a cost of N419bn.

The rehabilitation of the 186-km Abuja-Lokoja road, estimated to gulp about N40bn, is an integral part of the Abuja-Abaji-Benin highway linking the Federal Capital Territory with Kogi State as well as some major cities in the South-West, South-East and South-South geo-political regions.

For ease of completion, the contract for the rehabilitation of the road was divided into four and subsequently awarded to different construction companies.

However, the latest audit report from the Federal Road Safety Corps showed that 41 people died along the Abuja-Lokoja section of the highway between January and May 2010, owing to the deplorable condition of the road. The report also rated the road as the worst in terms of road accidents in Nigeria.

However, Ogiemwonyi disclosed that the Federal Government had already issued a notice of termination of contract to Bulletin Nigeria Limited, the contractor handling the rehabilitation of a portion of the road for alleged poor performance.

He also said that the Ministry of Works would partner the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission to select a reputable private company to handle the project.

He said, “One road that is also of strategic importance to this country today is the Abuja-Lokoja road. We have since realised that the road, which was awarded two years ago to four different contractors, is ongoing. However, in order to fast-track the construction of that road, we need extra funding, which will come from our partners.

“We believe that the Lokoja-Abuja road is good for Public-Private Partnership arrangement. That is one of the major roads we are thinking of. Once we are through with the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, we should be able to advertise it.”

He added, “Already, we have done the design of the road. This is one of the roads where so many lives have been lost. So, the Lokoja-Abuja road is one of the roads we are going to concession.”

Asked when the process would be completed, Ogiemwonyi had said, “You know that government is a continuum. Our duty is to ensure that the right things are done. We will be glad if the road will be ready for Mr. President to inaugurate as part of his campaign. The road is vital.”

Speaking on the deplorable conditions of roads across the country, the Managing Director, FERMA, Mr. Kabiru Abdullahi, said the agency had spent about N26.5bn on road maintenance in the last two years.

Specifically, Abdullahi said that the agency had repaired about 4,500 kilometres of roads across the country and also constructed drainages covering about 1,168 kilometres.

He stressed that FERMA needed about N120bn annually to carry out road maintenance across the country, but lamented that inadequate funding had severely hampered its capacity to carry out its statutory mandate.

Politics › Chris Ngige Has Sworn Another Oath by Justcash(op): 2:47am On May 02, 2011

[b]Former Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chris Ngige, on Sunday stunned his supporters and guests when he stepped out of his shoes, stood barefooted and made declaration to do something in the Senate that Nigerians would never forget.

The occasion was a reception he hosted at the Tourist Garden Hotel, Awka to celebrate his election as a senator to represent Anambra Central Senatorial Zone.

He said as he stepped out of his shoes, “One promise to Nigerians is that Dr. Chris Nwabueze Ngige from Anambra Central Senatorial District will champion a bill that Nigerians will never forget in their lives.

“The Senate will know that some people passed through there. Even if it is for one day, or two days or for four years, Nigerians will feel the presence of Ngige and other progressive senators. It is a promise.”

He stepped back into his shoes and continued his speech, after making the promise.

A witness said it amounted to a traditional oath.

In 2003, Ngige was taken to a shrine at Okija, where he was made to swear to an oath of loyalty to his former political godfather, Chief Chris Uba.

That secret was blown open after Ngige reneged on his loyalty to Uba.

He thanked the people of Anambra Central for reposing confidence in him, and promised to recover the other mandates stolen from the Action Congress of Nigeria in the last elections.

He expressed disappointment with some of his opponents, who supported former President Olusegun Obasanjo, when he engaged the former president and his supporters in the battle to free Anambra State.

“Today, they have come to Anambra State to say that they are more patriotic than Ngige. They are just behaving like the ostrich,” he said.
