The bar has been set so low by past leaders that the present crop of leaders will dance and sing to the high heavens each time they carry out projects like road or gutter construction or even erecting street light.

👍

Tellmeastory:
Who told you the refinery is not working?

You people just come in here and type rubbish.

please show us what has produced and sent out of that refinery

erico2k2:
I swear down, You remember when everyone was porting to use cooking gas on their Gen set? now what happens now? Gas price went UP.

pathetic honestly

erico2k2:
What i think happened was the removal(ADIO b the way) of subsidy did not happen, the planned to mask it with NNPC being the main importer during PMB.Now BAT announced it was removed when in fact they did not so the rest of the country has gone overdrive to behave as if it was removed.

What is painful is that BAt had no real plan for what is to come after the said removal.


Till now nothing for the poor masses for that decision he took.

No CNg Buses, no transportation cushioned effect, no increased salary for workers, etc.


I really hope they start to get some things right . Nigerians have suffered too much for unnecessarily reasons.

erico2k2:
Simply put BAT aint playing balls

it pathetic honestly.



He Bat and Buhari deceived us with the removal of Subsidy and commissioning of this Dangote refinery in 2023.



Now in 2024, am yet to see what have been saved from the subsidy removal and what that saved money is doing now for us.


It a shame!

So many nice sweet sweet words.



Now can we get the refinery start working?




I found hard that Dangote who is probably the richest man in Africa is finding it so hard to get a refinery to start to work.



For how many years naaa

Killerofpigs:
We no dey NAIJA na OSUNand SW we dey.

It's pathetic because same YORUBA press and internet trolls will amplify this foolish act if it was another region.

So stop generalization and face OSUN ad SE directly.

u think I somewhat generalized because it hasn't happened else where?


Many states I knew of this has happened.

Hmmm...


I read some horrible horrible comments.




But let me comment my reserve.

Killerofpigs:
See the way, you just exposed how useless, the civil service is in YORUBA land , in OSUN State exclusively.

So you pay ghost workers , and criminals that don't work are paid salaries? Even while living in London? and the meger IGR generated is used to pay people that are absent or indolent? What a Shame.. what a disgusting shame.

So you have this kind of delinquency in your Region and you open your mouth to insult others, while claiming sainthood?

You are pathetic hypocrites. So this is the way TINUBU developed LAGOS?

Shameless losers... Aptly shameless..

It almost everywhere in Nigeria oo if not checked.

Unless the governor checked the workers pay roll. But some governor used it to wilt out people and delay salary.


Na Naija we dey

Hahahaha.. height of thiefing from the people to pay the people.



2k or 5k for registration?


Another 10k

And another fee to check results?



When El Rufai did his own in Kaduna, it was absolutely free



Na wa ooo for how our governors reason to generate IGR oo

99thEnemy:
lets say you bought Garri at 500 naira per mudu last week to sell at 550 naira per mudu to make a fixed profit of 50 naira per mudu.

You still have the stock of Garri you bought last week and the price this week goes down to 400 naira per mudu where you buy to resell.

Will you start selling the garri you have in stock for 450 naira per mudu?

in my area when that happens and u refused to sell or lower, your garri go remain with u till e spoil.


Becox people will not buy from u again, they will go to where it is cheap.


And that's because of competition

Cantonese:
The same reign of embezzlement and looting of public treasury. That’s all the do with power. They forget absolutely that they would traverse the same roads whether good or bad at the end of their tenures.

Wealthy families use their wealth to capture power, with the aim of remaining in power to loot more.

That’s what it is.

hmmm...


What a shame!

[quote author=alimiadedayo1 post=129135130][/quote]hmmmmm... When I was in Minna then, we all thought he could do better than his then PDP candidate, Umar Nasko.


Many perceived Nasko as Talba's stooge and voted Sanni Bello also accompanied by the APC vast movement then.


Too bad for Sanni Bello

DesireV:
He obviously has great dreams for the state but he's poor with setting priorities or not being properly advised. I'll elucidate using the health, education, and works (infrastructure) sectors.

Immediately he assumed office, he started construction of a teaching hospital and converted the College of Education to a University.
This is a state with non functional primary health facilities & Elementary/Basic education structures. No matter how sophisticated the tertiary health and education are, they will be almost useless in the presence of faulty primary and secondary levels.

For health, the primary level(about 80% of health needs) is to promote health, prevent illnesses, and for prompt treatment of mild illnesses. This is what developed countries now focus on- prevent illnesses rather than wait to manage them when they happen. It's more effective and alot cheaper. Environmental sanitation, health education, nutrition, immunization etc are in primary health. Imagine unavailability of routine childhood vaccines & common antimalarials in primary health centres, women recklessly delivering at home, indiscriminate waste disposal, etc. All of these in the state capital, imagine what's happening in remote areas.
Teaching Hospitals, being at the tertiary level of care(just about 20% of health needs), are meant to attend to complicated cases most of which a functional primary care would have prevented. This governor neglected 80% for 20%. He prefers depriving children BCG, Hep B, Polio, and other vaccines to rather build a teaching hospital to later manage them for Tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, Polio respectively.
The cost of 1 teaching hospital will fund functional primary health centres in every nook and crannies of Niger.
Meanwhile, there are 2 tertiary health facilities within 3hours drive from the state capital (University of Abuja Teaching Hospital & FMC, Bida). The Teaching Hospital project in Minna is a misplaced priority, especially in the face of a poor primary health.

A similar thing is happening with education. It was in Minna I first heard primary school pupils run shifts. As in, due to lack of enough schools/structures, some pupils will go to school in the morning, return by noon or so, then some will go by noon and return few hours later. It's that bad. You can drive for hours within habited areas in Niger without sighting a govt primary or secondary school.
You'll wonder who this governor is building the university for. Same children who have been denied functional basic education? Or he wants them to start from the university? There are about 4 Federal universities within 4hours from Minna.
If you provide sound basic education to people, they will access tertiary no matter how far it is from them. The sound basic education would have created the needed zeal.

Sad thing is that, the Teaching Hospital and University projects are capital intensive and lack of interests by subsequent govts will make them end up being waste of scarce resources but primary health centres or schools require less resources to fund and even NGOs or philanthropists can take over the funding later.

On works, this governor asked citizens to remove interlock on road pavements across Minna with the excuse of wanting to plant grass. Months down the line, the road pavements remain unkempt. Many road constructions were started simultaneously, many of which were previously motorable. Works have stopped on some after scrapping the old bitumen and traffic diversion. Meanwhile, the roads linking the capital to FCT & SW via Kwara are in deplorable conditions. A whole lot of roads within Minna itself are not motorable. This governor replaced streetlight poles. The old ones weren't rusted or bad. If anything must be done to them, maybe repainting. Unfortunately, the supposed replacements were thinner and not as strong as the replaced
I forsee lots of abandoned projects by the end of this man's tenure and the ones that will be completed will likely not have maximal impact on the lives of the ordinary citizens.

hmmmm


U made good points there.

If I remembered very well, most of those interlocks were done during Talba's time and some areas with street light not shining more than 2 meters.


I wonder why some of our leaders like to go for the capital intensive white elephant projects.


I hope he focus on priorities and get the jobs done before tenure expires

Cantonese:
Surely the roads are not what they should be. However that is not common to Niger state only. We have many states in the country with the same horrible road infrastructure. If resources are embezzled by a few, how can the states develop?

Niger state has about the biggest landmass in the entire federation. Previous governments have not much to show with all the revenue. Someone must kickstart proper development from somewhere. Before now, there has not been such thing. That governor must be commended. By the way have you not seen his efforts with agriculture?

With time, if he keep corruption low, he surely will invest in improving the road network. For me, I just hope. However for now, let’s commend him for his effort to make transportation less expensive for the citizens.

Very very good point!


Am still wondering what Sanni Bello came to do as the governor of Niger state? Yet he was from a wealthy family.

Tallesty1:
Everything is not hate; I am not sure if you are in Niger state, else you will agree with him. Suleja - Abuja road is already choked and has been begging for expansion since the time of Adam. These buses won't function well on that route; the road is small and incredibly busy, so traffic will be mad.

Also, who buys vehicles first before building the roads on which they will run? Telling your leaders to do things the right way is not hate.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your expression "since the time of Adam " got me cracking.



I remembered when I was plying on that road, I thought it was given to Salini construction company? I wonder what happened


I also think Sanni Bello wasted the last 8 years and he was not stoned like Talba in 2015 during handover.

alimiadedayo1:
Don't mind him. Even though I don't like APC as a party but when it comes to performance, this man try. I am based in minna and I can see his works with my physical eyes and the man touches all sector from Agriculture to construction and other infrastructures

hmmm... Interesting to hear.


Niger state is also my adopted stated. It good am hearing things like this.


Does it also mean that Sanni Bello did virtually nothing in his 8 years?


Am just asking

Hmm..

So what are we to do about it? Are people not responsible for this?



Many people don innocently milk the country dry and go scot free

Hmmmm... Loan shark experience.



I had this experience in Jan/Feb of someone close to me.



Their approach ehn, very very uncalled for and very very provocative, insultive, threatening and cursing.

hmohammed:
I strongly suspect Aiyedatiwa

This is not good.



Because u have no knowledge about it.

Engrbee:
This one no guide, dem don kill ahm, I can see Ayedatuwa's handwriting on the wall.

hmmmm...


Comments like this are not good.

pacesetting:
Nigeria's newspaper is also dead. A newspaper as big as The Vanguard is reporting like a gossip blog.

How did he die?

That's the most important information people need, not what he said or his political background. Everybody knows that one.

honestly!!!


I wonder how the family will feel reading the news of one of their lost one as a political gimmick

stasius:
You will see the rush to dump the dollar by people the moment it gets to 1000.
Truth is that these politicians and leaders are the major ones hoarding dollars in billions and causing it to rise. When they want it to fall they will still dump it and make it fall.

I wonder what they are doing with all the hoarded currency anyway. Some are in forgotten underground tanks. Some have been eaten by rats. Some have been destroyed by rain. Why keep what you cannot use? Why?

Pure greed and miserliness



They want to amass so much wealth.


Wealth that when someone die 50 Kobo no go follow am enter grave.

Xammie001:
Greed led us to this state now
when we discovered crude oil that year it should have been another source of income and not main source of income but greed and lack of planning sold us out and here we are now suffering badly.
Then we had the biggest pyramids in the world name them, Groundnut,Cocoa, Cassava, palm oil, tomatoes then but the discovery of CRUDE OIL made us lose everything

very very true. This is the sad bitter truth

There was cotton in some part of the North which led to establishment of textiles.

Xammie001:
Bro our greatest asset is actually agriculture bro.
imagine having enough to feed 300 million people everyday, boss that's bastard money

True..

I was thinking how did we let it to rot and now we can't feed ourselves?



If insecurities can be reduced and we take an holistic approach to agriculture, we will achieve many things.



In school then, we are told about agro-allied and agro base. There is always market for agriculture

Biodun556:
The CBN governor makes sure that all bureau de are complying. Once dollars are available in the economy, no reason why there should be scarcity of dollars but some people in collaboration with binance, bureau de change hoard the dollars and inflate the price

All our problem in Nigeria are man-made.

True



But I blame the government for not been fully in charge of situations hence fire brigade approach

Xammie001:
Now i see you are here to talk down on significant progress because you are a bad loser, before the government can bring down the food price in the market, the government must have control of the supply chain of the market just as they did to the dollar, and we need to plant and plant and plant so as to control the price in the market.

100 percent agree with u.

Can the Senators, reps and governors focus now on the next farming season which is around the corner. I wish they do rather than fighting over 189 billion borehole.



After crude oil, our next greatest assets is agriculture, but we joke with it.

I go siddon dey look👀👀👀

Hmmmm....



Please I want to ask of what importance is this topic making the front page?


Nairaland moderators, u push a news/topic that will deter the peace of nairaland generate hatred and hate speech, and most likely malign a certain tribe, religion, people and many things.




Please how does this Jewish celebration or whatever concerns Nigerians if not that u people just want to generate traffic

Ejyksneh:
Check very well.....the perpetrators of this heinous crime is from Nigeria as they were paid to do it, and I'm sure they are all head slammers who are ewedu munchers.
