Maybe they have developed another use for people's video again. There's nothing AI cannot do for this computer savvy generation .

Of course, it won't be strange to us. You have been doing that for ages now.

Mischievous figment of the imagination of this writer. Sorry.

How people think they can find a solution to serious issues of this magnitude on Nairaland is funny to me.

Speechless.

Kogi people don enter once chance. None of the choice of PDP or APC make sense at all. Abeg who be labour party candidate?

Kogi is always unfortunate or unlucky with choice of leaders.

DyingFetus:
No girl other than my ex has ever shown interest in me. In fact, my uni classmates once made fun out of a girl saying she liked me and she looked at me with a look of disgust implying I'm ugly af.
I'm inclined to believe I'm unattractive since I definitely fail in the face and muscle departments (I'm 6'4 and I have almost no muscle), but I have had a girlfriend before and our relationship lasted more than a year but it has been ~4 years since I broke up with her with no girl showing interest on me.
My fatalist mind has been trying to rationalize this for months now, but it just doesn't made sense. I need some external input.

There is NO SUCCESSFUL PERSON that is not attractive to the opposite sex.

I wish you well

Correct.

You mean like how JAMB led by Prof. Oleyede the no nonsense Prof told you the truth about Mmesoma the fraudulent JAMB girl you were supporting blindly?



A group of people shouting hardship today because Tinubu did the right thing by removing fuel subsidy were actually jubilating despite the severe hardship that was claiming lives of innocent Nigerians and making life miserable by Emefiele's Naira policy because they thought it will help them win.

Anyway how Jonathan wanted to humilate Sanusi Lamido Sanusi the then CBN Governor but didn't succeed is what Emefiele is getting from Tinubu who is always successful in anything he does.

To be candid this woman used to be a very brilliant woman o. Suddenly... Suddenly... Suddenly..

N16b Refund from Oshiomhole’s Prodigious Usage on Federal Roads Belonged to Edo State

...setting matters in proper perspective

While it is controvertible and seemingly unreasonable to defend the allocation of N16b for the fixing and maintainance of federal roads in Edo State by the Adams Oshiomhole-led administration, it could however be stated that the era of oil boom when state governors of the federation had easy access to funds to spread around at their whims and caprices, is gone.

The new reality where states have to generate their own funds with little or no federal allocation, would hardly permit governors in the country to embark on federal projects with the hope of getting a refund; at least, not amidst the plethora of needs in a state, where the governors have to draw scale of preferences in order to prioritize the manner in which those needs should be met.

Besides, the federal government had stated in clear terms, that those days of political philanthropy were over, noting that any state that undertakes the rehabilitation of federal roads, does so at their own financial burden, as no refund would be made. The issue of federal roads in Edo is even so perculiar, as the federal government had warned the state not to embark on any palliative measure, as contracts of rehabilitation have already been awarded on such roads, even though anything is yet to be done unto this day.

The recent diatribe against Governor Godwin Obaseki on the issue of federal roads in the state is merely born out of either crass ignorance on the true state of things or sheer disinformation campaign by the opposition to pith the people against the one government which truly promotes their interest. Though, Edo people know better and would not fall prey to such obsolete tactics.

Moreso, the one thing the traducers of the state government have failed to clarify is to inform their gullible followers that the refunded N16b was the state's money and not for any individual. It just so happened that at the time of refund, Governor Godwin Obaseki happened to have been at the seat of governance.

If that money was earlier spent on building a decent school of nursing, instead of squandering it on federal roads which have become damaged so quickly, I am sure Obaseki would not have had to rebuild and restore the school beyond its former glory. Or probably, if Oshiomhole had spent it on the reconstruction and expansion of the Stella Obasanjo Hospital in order to improve healthcare and solve healthcare challenges in the state, Obaseki would not have had to embark on such a project.

Oshiomhole could have also spent it on a modern and state-of-the-art Civil Service Secretariat Complex like Obaseki has done, but instead he squandered it on federal roads.

There are so many intervention areas which that sum could have fruitfully been allocated and Obaseki would not have needed to embark on such infrastructural interventions today; namely, Ekenwan Road reconstructing and rehabiltation, rehabilitation of the State High Court Complex, building of Industrial Court and Judges Quarters in the state, agricultural programmes for food sustainability and commercial profitability for both the people and the state, and a host of other interventions which the Obaseki administration has embarked on.

But no, it was federal roads that interested him, because it was easier for many a coin to visit private pockets through that means. No wonder Oshiomhole left a debt burden of N160b for the Obaseki administration; a debt that Governor Obaseki has been paying and succeeded in reducing drastically.

Oshiomhole’s prodigious behaviour is akin to that of a man who pays the rent and school fees of his mistress' children while his wife and kids are denied basic amenities at home. As at the time Oshiomhole became that profligate with the state's finances, Edo State had the numerous challenges above and more, which that fund could have been used for.

That is what the Obaseki administration has refused to do, as it prioritizes its resource distribution based on pressing demands by diverse socioeconomic sectors of the state. In terms of road construction, reconstruction and rehabilitation, there is yet a government that would surpass the Obaseki administration, as it was this that earned him the nickname "Wake and See Governor". More roads are currently under reconstruction with others earmarked for rehabilitation. Obaseki has done more intra state and inner city roads than any previous Governor in the state.

The Edo State Government has therefore called on the federal government to take up their responsibility and fix damaged federal roads in the state. This is the right call and anyone in the business of progress should lend their voices to this call, as the state government, though it desperately wants to, is currently unable to embark on palliative measures on these roads due to federal laws.

There are evidences pointing to the fact that these contracts have been awarded and paid for by the federal government, yet Edo people are not seeing the results. We must now join hands with Governor Godwin Obaseki to demand that the right thing be done with regard to the rehabilitation of these roads in the state.

Oga commissioner, thanks for the misinformation. The school renovation issues have been over-flogged by two prominent Edo citizens.
That money you are referring to came from the European Union.

Tell us another tale.

Commonsense is not enough here. May God direct us.

People should please avoid areas dominated by these people for the sake of their well-being and safety.

Things like these are the handiwork of miscreants in the north. They are willing tools in the hands if the very people who deceive them to go to makaranta while their children are studying overseas.

We should try to be sensitive to issues concerning Islam and Muslims, though.

Davido has to be careful and watch where he visits for now. Let frayed nerves calm🙏

delzbaba:
must have been a deal gone sour.

One can't say for sure if it was a deal gone sour or not. But I know that road very well. A relative of mine was kidnapped late 2021 along there.
The family paid money to the kidnappers and they didn't elease the young man up till today.

Those around there protested on NTA a few days ago. The roads are very bad and the herdsmen/kidnappers are taking full advantage.

This is the country we have found ourselves.

SamboAnguissa:
The way you coined it got me confused too. I thought you were in support of that Anglo-American madness called LGBTQ (or whatever acronym they use to promote their devilish program).

We are on the same page, bro 💯👍

That transgender thing is the highest form of stupidity I have ever seen, so disgusting!

You are highly respected from my end, ma.

If you decide your own destiny and bring sex change to this our society, the gods will have you as sacrifice in either sex that you are at that moment

As a matter of fact, I meant the Russians are free no to follow the path of America.
You got me wrong.

Everyone's got the right to decide his own destiny.

God bless Putin.

Would love to buy nairaland

But will oga seen sell for me ?

For where

I heard mtn wanted to buy it one time but he declined to sell.

I don't think Amechi wants to be a member of any party for now. He's just okay playing gospel music and praising his creator.

8 years in RSHA

8 years as governor

8 years as Minister

24 years of free money. I don't think he needs anything again. He only over reached himself by wanting to become president.

Nairaland started well… but bigots and olumo boys has taken over since 2015..


Each day the forum depreciates .. tell someone about Nairaland and get a long hiss..

Wtf

Kids has taken over .. na insult curse abuse Dey generate likes.. no sensible or constructive posts

And i hope the one who called my advice a criticism is reading.

AbuAeesha:
Seun just left the chat room.
As long as he is not running at loss.i don't think he cares.

While those mods won't change their ways.
I don't blame the mods Sha, they work with instructions.

I agree with you. But it's a ticking time bomb for social media business at this time.

TemplarLandry:
Your criticism isn't constructive. You just shot blanks.

This is no criticism but an observation. Respond with clear eyes, please.

Recent events all over the world have seen a lot of media organisations repositioning, re-strategising and aligning with other media groups to further their business and professional interests. Sadly, the Nairaland platform has remained without any move in that direction.

Is it not befuddling that one of the oldest fora in Nigeria is sitting pretty and unperturbed in the face of such serious issue? Could this be as a result of over-confidence or simply a lack of business strategy that the current wave of development in the media world demands?

Generally, the forum is becoming uninteresting for various reasons. From politics to ethnic issues, there is so much to worry about. There are situations where two or more threads are created for one topic. Most disturbing is that the source of the news and contents remain similar. Are there no sanctions for such posters? If none, can't such news items be removed to maintain quality or standard?

Similarly, I have observed that the mods are just concerned and contented with dishing out bans to supposed offenders. I think the responsibility of a mod should go way beyond that alone.

Finally, I want to advice the management to be very conscious of the recent social media market tussle between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. You need a very urgent re-branding to position you strategically for the turbulent days ahead. It is inevitable in business. But you must be a jump ahead to avoid being caught off guard.

A word is enough for the wise!

The tolerance can only be appreciated if Christians are allowed the use of the other people's facility for the same purpose too.

Anything short of that will only portray one-sided tolerance, which is unhealthy.
