Igbo dishes are the best in the world. Make I go eat my ofe oha with enough akpu.

MasterTeeUSA:
I was speaking to someone about this issue of Agberos, and I told the person...Governance is like whac-a-mole. If you solve one problem, another rises. That is why I was praying GRV does not win because he would have turned Lagos into chaos...even those in Lekki would not be able to stay clear of major issues.

If you eliminate Agberos, what will you do with thousands of guys? Retrain then...some of them are drug addicts and drunkards...there is a reason they are doing agberos and I doubt they can do any formal education. What about artisan work? Have you seen some of these guys..you think they will learn plumbing or agriculture and wait for harvest and yields or for someone to call them for work before they can eat?

Lock them up in Jail...how many prisons will you build, how many staff, cost of feeding them and getting all of them through the court systems would be a major disaster.

So should we just accept this norm...NO

1. You normalize them like Lagos agreed to do...Lagos should print the tickets

2. Allow these guys to sell them - maybe 500 tickets @ N1000 = N50,000; Private vehicles can pay N100 per day...that is N2k - N3k per month and it will be used to pay for people to maintain roads, clean gutters, and so on.

3. Pay them daily - like N5000 (N100,000 weekdays) which is 10% of the total take in and their Ogas will take N2500 (5%) per person

4. Create a hierarchy of leadership - One oga will have like 10 guys under in covering major areas...so Oga will cash in N500,000 monthly

5. This process for this Team will generate N42,500 per person (85%) which is N8.5million monthly (Salary N1.5m from Revenue intake of N10m monthly) for one area...Lagos can easily have 500 of these areas raking in N5billion and N60 billion annually. Anambra, Onitsha can do the same and the money will be channels to fix roads, drainages and revamp the markets.

6. Give or take the Govt can play with the figures and bring in 70-75% and increase the payment for Oga or boys or Ticket sale

7. You can also sell Morning, Afternoon, and Evening and use different sets of boys so you generate 3 times the revenue, multiply the employment by 3 and use 2 sets of Ogas or Same...

8. They will have distinct wears that they pick up at the Oga in the morning, afternoon or evening and they can switch them so it will be difficult for copycats to make them or have companies that will supply them these wears with random colors weekly.

9. These will eliminate the fake agberos and also provide employment chain for the uniform or vest suppliers...they will also take care of the dry cleaning needs.

10. Youths need employment..money must flow...you need to cater to different types of people. Eliminating them is not the answer.

This religion of trouble have taken their madness to covenant University. They always disobey constituted authorities using religious clog as a means.

If a Christian dares wears anything like rosary, cross, or any attire depicting Christianity to access a Muslim environment,this children of hate and perdition will call it blasphemy,and murder the innocent Christian.

But see them ,always taking their foolishness to other religious environment and lord it over everyone.

All this because their side lost.

At the end, Falz is a typical Nigerian. When they lose, they were rigged out, when they win, the election is free and fair.

APC lost the election, but they won because PDP was divided into 4 different factions, all of whom fought each other and cancelled themselves out.

Yet many of the LP and PDP supporters cannot see that because they do not want to accept that they failed. It is far more easier to blame rigging and so forth than to blame the divisions and the fact that they did not try hard enough.

franchasofficia:
Okay, I will answer you sincerely.


First, age is very important in every human performance, that's why organizations focus on employing young graduates for certain vital and sensitive positions. That is also why reputable companies spend huge on internship programmes to catch them young.


Haven said that, let's proceed to my next points.



1.) It is an open record that in the history of Nigeria, Peter Obi is the only Nigerian ex Governor that rejected any form of reward or pension or gratuity as an ex Governor, Tinubu despite all the wealth he has amassed for years still receives huge pension package from Lagos State.


In rejecting pension, gratuity and other rewards as Ex Governor, Obi said :


it is unfair, unjust and insensitive as an ex Governor who served the state as the highest office holder with too many privileges while in office to accept gratuity and pension for serving the state for just 4 or 8 years whereas civil servants who served the state in pains, poor salary and rewards for 35 years are being owed gratuities and pensions, he said no his conscience forbids that and he refused to accept any form of pension, gratuity or reward as ex Governor till today, Bola Tinubu still receives huge pension package as Lagos state ex Governor.


No other Nigerian ex Governor has done that.



2.) Peter Obi should be the only popular or possibly the only Nigerian elite or politician to reject crude oil block.


When he was invited for this during Goodluck Jonathan's regime, he said no he doesn't need an oil block, that he is a trader and not an oil business guru, that he doesn't dabble into businesses he doesn't know, that oil business experts should take the offer, make money from crude oil business and come and buy what he sells as a trader



What does that tell you? Contentment. Peter Obi is a contented man, he is satisfied with what he has acquired in life. He only wants to serve not really for financial gains.



3.) Peter Obi is the only Nigerian State Governor that refused to borrow money or take loans, did a good number of infrastructures, didn't owe salary when leaving office and still saved billions after investing another billions for the state (whether his investment choice is profitable now or not is another topic entirely, but there is record that he invested for the state).


No other Nigerian Governor leaves billions in savings for his successor, they usually leave debt.


Bola Ahmed Tinubu himself acknowledged this about Obi and he said its because Obi is too stringy, that instead of giving Anambra people the money, he was busy saving it as a stingy man.



4.) Peter Obi is the only Nigerian state Governor that got appointed into Presidential advisory council by the President from an opposition party. Both Obasanjo and Goodluck did appointed him even as a Governor from APGA party because they saw the honesty and incorruptible life he was living.



5.) Peter Obi was the only Nigerian state Governor that insisted that FEC save money for Nigeria while other Governors like Rotimi Amaechi, Fashola and co insisted that the excess crude oil wealth should be shared among the states which made Nigeria broke when oil price fell.


Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala the then Minister of Finance and Coordinator of Economy said this in her book.




These are just the few I could remember off hand for now

Badassniggga:
who were the main players of WW2?? And when did US entered the war? Abi they told you Germans were bombing Chicago and New York wey make US busy? Be like say na you no sabi history.

Badassniggga:
they never boasted because the world was too busy back then in 1945 while US weren't fighting any war. Fast forward 2023, some nations now have that capability and even more now that US have no clue of, leveling the playing field. If US as much as try the shyte they did back then to Japan to anyone now, they'd be inadvertently signing their own death warrants. Nuffsaid.

Russia has the weapons to destroy US if threatened: Patrushev

Secretary of Russia’s Security Council warned that Russia has the weapons to destroy any enemy, including the United States if its own existence is threatened.

“American politicians trapped by their own propaganda remain confident that, in the event of a direct conflict with Russia, the United States is capable of launching a preventive missile strike, after which Russia will no longer be able to respond. This is short-sighted stupidity, and very dangerous,” Nikolai Patrushev told the state Rossiiskaya Gazeta newspaper.

“Russia is patient and does not intimidate anyone with its military advantage. But it has modern unique weapons capable of destroying any adversary, including the United States, in the event of a threat to its existence”, he said.

ScamHunter:
You Africans don't get it. You lost your sovereignty the day the colonialists made you a country and you agreed. China was not made by Europeans the way you Africans were. So they'll never have respect for African countries. Not just them but Arabs and the rest of the world.

SIRTee15:
Respect is earned not given. Those ones shouting China. Which African country can stand toe to toe with China in any relevant sphere of human achievement.
If u don't want American security taking over your airport, don't invite their president. Simple.
Then work hard and develop your continent so they will be forced to come and visit at your own terms and conditions because they got no choice.

God bless Obidients...........
Although I'm a fanatical supporter of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the erudite Sen. Gov Shettima,I have always asked myself the question,why do I dislike Obidients.
Obidients are Nigerians,young, powerful, energetic, vibrant and very passionate about changing Nigeria.
Sincerely every young Nigerian should be an Obidients minus the caustic, tribalistic,foul mouthed, hypocritical trolls that try to pollute the movement.
A part of me is always happy whenever I remember how Obidients shook the foundation of Nigeria to its roots,No movement has shaken Nigeria I daresay since independence.
Obidients are now in House of Assembly,they are represented at the state level and also in the National Assembly, that patriotic side of me will always keep hailing Obidients.
I indulge Obidients to please for the sake of Nigeria,remove the whiff from the shaff,remove the ethnic champions,the foul mouthed demons,the biased and hypocritical people among the movement and transcend into a political force that will shape the future of Nigeria.
Nobody can stop the Obidient movement unless it decides to self destruct,which I pray doesn't happen.
Let Labour party open its wings to embrace genuine, patriotic,hard working young Nigerians to be the leaders of the movement,I'm sure many of us will joyfully queue behind them.
Let Love for Nigeria be at the forefront of all we do.
God bless Obidients
God bless Nigeria.
P.s
God bless Asiwaju,the president-elect,in- coming Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

https://twitter.com/realFFK/status/1640631826510233606?t=gbeQq0bkLAoI5_8h5UlGfA&s=08[/quote]Seun, abeg permit me to call this man an idiot thrice on this one.

This idiot thinks that an awaken Africa means an arrogant Africa?
For most display of verbal face off on the global scale, are between countries who have earned themselves some degree of (fear) or respect in one or several respects, that depicts strength; military or economic.
Small North Korea can shake bumbum because she has nuclear capability. Trust me, the West will thread cautiously with her. China can afford a face off because she's built her economy to global significance. Russia, same.
When I see African leaders assert this form of arrogance, I laugh.
If you ditch the West and embrace Asia, without a backbone (a working, productive system), they will give you offers they wouldn't give the West. No man pays you beyond your perceived worth.
FFK is deluded. Tinubu is England bound just like Buhari has been graciously tied to their hospitals. When they start barking to give themselves a strong front, inspite of glaring incompetence, it makes me wonder whether these men reason at all.
If those guys one follow you throw tantrums, they'll just push few buttons and you'll come crying because you are still chronically dependent on them in many ways.

I asked myself this question, if Nigeria were Germany, how would she dare cut off supply of Russian gas?
We can barely deal with subsidy removal here.
UK have had 2 PM stepped aside before Sunak came up.
Why? Because they saw themselves incapable of handling the problems at hand to deliver excellent results.
No matter how clueless we are we'll never let a drunk friend or relative take the steering, while embarking on a journey. No matter the bond. Then why do we let sentiments betray our senses when faced with a choice of handling or deciding who handles a sensitive position?
The driver in a bus could be from any part of the country. I've seen good Yoruba drivers. I've seen reckless ones too. Same for Igbos. We can't tell your ethnicity by how you drive. And we can't use it as a basis to decide who drives us.
A driver who's sick, is not fit. If he's got psychological challenges he isn't in his best moments. He's as good as unfit too.

Leaders who fill up positions for the stomach is what we still have in our system. That's why you see the cashless catastrophe. With a clueless president who flouts court orders. CBN governor says one thing, the Presidency says another, the Court says another. Choas.
Sensitive positions aren't handled by competent hands in Africa. One reason for this is because we boycott due process. Processes are important.
How do you feel, when you're told by an employer that you'll be paid same sum as another employee who's a cleaner in the same firm, when you're a PhD holder?
You feel insulted and cheated when you recall the 5+ years training process you underwent... So Peter Obi was right about the importance of proper, due processes in a sane system.

FFK is an example of incompetence. Buhari is the King of them all. Tinubu is an example of boycotting due processes. His followers believe the end justifies the means. These lots belong to one fold.

So yeah, FFK is an idiot.
A paid one.

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

We have noticed the use of ethnic slurs and other derogatory names by a small but persistent group of political actors and trolls.

This practice of derogatory name-calling adds no value to the forum. It's bad for our mental health, our harmony as a community, and the reputation of Nairaland. It's simply toxic. It's absence and the absence of the people who use those slurs will not be missed.

Therefore I have decided to ban the practice entirely. I have instructed dominique, mukina2, Lalasticlala and Mynd44 to ban anyone who uses an ethnic slur or derogatory name on Nairaland. The antispam bot will also contribute to the effort. Please report any case that you see.
