That a project has been budgeted for doesn't exclude it from benefiting from public donations especially when the project is a public service like a library, university etc.

Many Nigerians don't even understand the concept of a budget which is an estimate of what the ministry intends to do "IF" the funds requested are provided the reality is the government then have to generate a surplus revenue or go borrow to fund that budget.

Most budgets in Nigeria are unfortunately not always implemented due to funding constraints, it was only under the Buhari administration that we first went past 70% budget performance. They claimed as high as 93% over the 8 yrs but I doubt that figure.

It's is not peculiar to Nigeria the call for donations, our national children's hospital in the country I reside has gone over budget something like 250% and has been delayed over 3yrs but we all still donate to the cause and the national cancer research which I donate over £20 to monthly which is funded by the government and othe endowments and charity trusts but there is never enough funding for education, research, public services etc.

Kenule Saro Wiwa didn't understand Nigeria's politics.
Abacha, unlike Babangida listened to Saro Wiwa and even offered him the position of petroleum minister.

Saro Wiwa declined and insisted on full control of Ogoni resources.

A prominent chief, chief Kobani and others felt Abacha was too rigid with the government and decided to accept offers from both Shell and the FG, Some Youths of Ogoni heard about the betrayal and attack them during a meeting injuring several people and killing four, including chief Kobani.

The government swung into action and used the opportunity to accuse, and arrest and silence Saro Wiwa for good.

Note that Saro Wiwa was not even in the country when the incident took place, but he came back to answer the charges against him.

Yes, we don't have a stadium in Africa... except the one on Egypt.

Do you know that if this same match is played in Africa, it won't finish in favor of Nigeria ?

Remember the friendly match some years ago where Nigeria defeated France in France ?

If you see a good field, you don't need anyone to convince you.

Can you compare the grass in crystal palace, hull city, Brentford or Sunderland with the one in Uyo ? ...is not about the design, is about the grasses


Nigeria is not doing well in the world cup qualifying table, but do you know that if all our remaining matches are play in old Trafford Nigeria will top the table at the end.

South Africa can beat Nigeria in Nigeria, but they can't beat Nigeria in Europe stadium

You're obviously one of the politicians messing up this country. Fix up!


They are not the cause of your penury.

WRONG!
Jesus commanded his own disciples to preach from house to house and door to door {Matthew 10:11-13} this will enable the listener to ask thought provoking questions {John 3:4} but when you stand in the street talking to the air nobody feels obligated to respond that's why Jesus doesn't just go about making noise in the streets! Matthew 12:19

Poverty doesn't guarantee long life..In any case, of what use is a long life lived in wretchedness and squalor?

If you no hustle moni for your family, you go still die...if you hustle moni, you go still die...

Fatima has lived a quality of life you can't attain half of even if you live 200 years on this earth...and worst thing, you go still join her in the grave sooner or later

Let the family grieve the loss of their loved one...they are not the cause of your unfortunate life

RIP young lady...Make Allah grant you paradise and also give your loved ones the fortitude to bear your exit..Amin

The question is why is it that when govt is threatened that a kidnapped victim must be released, the kidnappers quickly release the victim, but if the victim has no one to fight for him, he wroughts in the kidnappers den or can be killed. Even the corpers are quickly released, is it that for kidnappers den sef there is connection.
