Very true, bayelsa, delta and river state comes to mind.

It's only Edo and akwa ibom trying.

Southerners should sit up, by 2030 we'll start deporting those Muslims northerners
I think the bigger issue is with the leaders than it is that of outsiders. The leaders should consciously make use of funds at their disposal for infrastructural developments; they should improve accountability. I was highly disappointed when I first set my foot in Port Harcourt. Heightened crime rate is apparently also responsible for this.
PoliticsRe: Proposed VAT Hike: Labour Warns Against Plan, Vows To Resist It by Lexicon123: 11:17am On Mar 24, 2019
GavelSlam:
Labour should go and sit down.

From 5% to 7.5% is actually a small price to pay.

Labour should be more concerned about boosting productivity and getting more people in the workforce.

Not making politics out of economic strategies.
You do have a point. But the government needs to be innovative in finding solutions to these issues . They should expect this much if they want to tie the solution to wage increase to increase in VAT. The timing of policies matter a lot in getting buy-in too. We’re experiencing double digits inflation rate and this is coming. How about consciously reducing the cost of governance for instance. There is very little effort at diversifying the economy. The government needs to think on its feet.
HealthRe: World Water Day 2019: Things To Know About Water Globally by Lexicon123: 9:25pm On Mar 22, 2019
As important as water is, a 'megacity' like Lagos still has acute shortage of portable water and makes little or no use of the mass body of water surrounding it. Most places in Lagos have no public water, some of the areas get dirty and smelly water, many others make their boreholes, while the borehole water in some places are as good as mud (e.g. Aguda and parts of the Island). The government is also not keying into this natural resources to ease the scourging traffic problem.

All these make me ask myself lots of rhetorical questions: what do I benefit from the government in return for the huge tax and other levies. I provide my security, electricity, transport, water and other needs; I get stucked in traffic day in day out. Its really not about counting huge IGRs!
PoliticsRe: Lagos IGR rises by N32.99bn — higher than 33 states put together by Lexicon123: 7:55am On Mar 19, 2019
When you see this massive IGR figures for Lagos you wonder what other states are doing!

However I get really upset when I juxtapose this to the benefits I enjoy from the government. See the crazy deductions in form of PAYE every month, yet I have to pay for my water (as there’s never good water from the government source), pay to dispose of my dirt (as lawma or visionscape are never available), pay for my security (with agberos hovering unchecked like hawks), pay for my electricity (in a megacity like Lagos), struggle through mad traffic everyday (with tankers perpetually sharing the tiny bad roads with everyone else), .... So for me, it’s not about generating trillions in IGR; I need to get value for what am paying for.

Animals in human skin!!

Guess it is also the headmistress that is supposed to renovate the dilapidated trash bin/poultry house called a classroom!

FAILURES!! You just wrote my mind. For the government to suspend her I assume it’s a public school. They left that poultry house for learning, later we will start hearing “the building was marked for demolition “.

FamilyRe: What Were Your Concerns Before Marriage And How Did It Turn Out After Marriage? by Lexicon123: 9:48am On Mar 12, 2019
ianq:
Your friend's faith is commendable. However, i would ask 2 things. 1) is he sexually active in the meantime? 2) does he routinely go for medical checkups?

because, if he is practising abstinence from sex while waiting for the woman, i can quite convincingly tell u his bp might be on the rise.
U might wanna cross check him on that. ..it might be the advice u are looking to giving him.
Lolll. Though one can hardly vouch for another, but as much as I know, he's one hell of a faithful guy. But I'll let him know as advised smiley
FamilyRe: What Were Your Concerns Before Marriage And How Did It Turn Out After Marriage? by Lexicon123: 12:01am On Mar 12, 2019
This topic brings a close friend to mind. He's been in this relationship with a lady he met about 4 years ago. The lady decided she was going to study abroad, couple with having some brothers and dad abroad. The guy felt obligated to support her by giving her time to study. Months turned to years and nothing has happened. Now she's trying to get her green card and therefore need more time to settled down, meanwhile the guy feels he is advancing in age. He's doing well in Nigeria and not fixated on abandoning everything to move abroad (probably illegally for sometime). The lady is threatening to quit if the guy can't wait any longer. The earliest she feels she can settle down and have kids is at least 3 years time (not guaranteed surely). Am even confused about his predicament myself that I don't know a suitable advice for him right now.

Bottom line is that people face different difficult situations before and duration marriage. It takes the grace of God, patience and strong will to overcome .

PoliticsRe: INEC Suspends Rivers State Election by Lexicon123: 4:45pm On Mar 10, 2019
Why always Rivers?! Do we just change the name to “Rivals”? Majority of these folks are supposed to be brothers and sisters and relatives of some sort. When you’re supposed to be united against common external obstacles to your progress. I was very disappointed when I first set my foot in PHC. This type of disunity is obviously one of the major causes of this backwardness. Peace!

This defeats the concept of Separation of power, President Buhari has been given way too much leverage, He wields too much and does not respect the rule of law, A man that does not respect the Constitution of the country that he presides over and now you’re giving him power over the Senate too?

Am baffled at the continual reference to “after swearing in”, “after May 29”, etc. Just feels like Buhari and his team are not already in power, and need to first be sworn in to appoint members of his cabinet. It’s well ooo.
PoliticsRe: Atiku Wins Landslide In Anambra - Premium Times by Lexicon123: 7:19am On Feb 26, 2019
texazzpete:
Abysmal

Nearly 2.1 million collected PVCs in Anambra. Less than 550,000 people voted in total.

About 26% voter turnout.

Let me see the goats that will blame solely the SW and North for Buhari's (likely) victory.
- You don't need to add the insult.

But am also quite disappointed with the voter apathy in the south pole of the country with arguably the more educated people compared to the north. Until the south can grow it's political enlightenment and eschew this apathy, it can only play single fiddle to the north as far as the Nigerian project is concerned.
