Each country should be declared independent and allocated a start up fund like USA did before world war 1.In hindsight, if the government had done that like 10 years ago, economies of states like Lagos state would have developed to three times what it is now.
I don't understand why Nigerian government is not even doing this? In fact many foreign investors will flock into lagos, because it offers less restrictions.
We have too many deadwood states like ekiti and osun, and many more in the north who contribute nothing into the economy. By following USA model, every states will be forced to think and invest wisely in their own states.
There are lots of states going bankrupt in USA of which the central government haven't offered to help them in US, as this will be at the detriment of states with great economies.
In most western world each country improve their best performing states. If you go to England you will realise London contribute more than 30% into the United Kingdom economy. This is because they keep developing London to compete with other mega cities like Newyork and Hong Kong.
Lagos should have gone really far, the federal government is definitely holding them back.

I agree totally with you, but its the Constitution, and not the Federal government that is holding the states back because, it does not support Fiscal Federalism and Resource control.
If the constitution can be amended to ensure Fiscal Federalism, then there will be creation of right economic policies and their implementation by the states as they will realise that its either they learn how to swim or sink, economically. This will also ensure that the right people are attracted into politics, as thugs and fradulent people who have nothing to offer the state, will naturally steer clear of politics.
My fear is that deadwood states will fight tooth and nail to ensure that Fiscal Federalism is not enforced in order to continue receiving Federal allocations.

The people don suffer so much from Transformer thieves.
Their thinking is that the curse will scare the thieves away.

So so talk since morning.....We dey wait for you to go and waka come

U dey mind them. After today, those boastful Chelsea friends, go dey give me way.

PunkyOh:
Most of your boys beg to differ

Kwaaaaa.

lolzzz.

Show yourself.

I agree with you that most South Africans are decent, it was just a few miscreants giving the whole people a bad name.
Its good that the SA govt. intervened by sending in the Army, at last, but more enduring measures need to be adopted to end these xenophobic attacks like mass Job creation, education and social enlightnment of the Zulu youths.

pay for your T-fare? That is shiit bro

This one above me is just forming, believe me she will even pay seu*n's house rent if he says yes to her proposal

Women and pretense!!!
I guess we shall never fully understand them

Justfollowit:
If I were one, I would gladly remove your manhoo.d and amputate your two arms. Then sell your remaining organs to those in need. . mind you it would be carried out while you are still fully aware of your surroundings

Lmao. You will be very good at torture ooh !!!

The guy really got to you. Are you riled because of a victim you know?

Testing.

The man dey drink too much?
I knew a drunk, once, who always gets beaten by his frustrated wife anytime he comes home drunk, as she claimed he spends his entire salary on booze.
If the man is not a drunk, then he should run for dear life before a possessed woman destroys his life completely. I know a case where a pretty woman, becomes as strong as five men, when possessed, and attacks the nearest person to her, which is usually her husband, for no just cause.
The possessed woman usually batters the husband endlessly, even though the guy was quite well built and was not a weakling.

Thank God for his tender mercy, that the little girl has been found; she's her mom's carbon copy.
This is why parents are jittery about dropping their children in the children church; you never can tell how careful the children minders will be.

Na so my enemies go confuse dey mistakenly shoot themselves this year while i sit down and watch them

They go hearam. Lol.

niggi4life:
I bet you David West as minister of petroleum is a welcome idea, that man is a no nonsense incorruptible person

I like Tam David-West, but have not seen him of recent to ascertain his physical and mental status ( no offense intended) because, I guess he must be quite elderly now and might not want the rigours associated with a Minister of Petroleum position.

Goke7:
fashola for FCT minister will be limiting, I need fashola on a more National scale pls

I agree totally with you, bro.

I will like to see him as the minister of works so that our infrastructure can be properly developed into world class standard.
Idika Kalu will fit squarely into the Finance ministry if he could bring his experience in the transformation of the korean economy to bear on the Nigerian situation.

Testing.
I had a similar experience too where a Pastor commanded everyone to empty their pockets, including transport fare into the offering box, a directive I did not obey.
After I caught a bus at the end of the service, I noticed a long line of people trekking home after giving their transport fare.
Lolz.

Ignorance is the worst disease ever.

Even the haggard native doctor follow scam the supposed intelligent ones.

I just hope say the women never use water drown the whiskey drinking, mango chopping, dollar spending, useless and powerless goddess. ..na dat time the gods go crazy like mad

Testing.

lool. You are very funny.

African need to know that we live in the age of intellect and research and not that of superstition and fear.
We need to embrace academic and intellectual curiosity as this will help us overcome problems of poverty, disease, miserable existence and avoidable death.

BiHung:
Good idea...

But in other news:

Let us advise GMB to shun the May28 dinner organised by GEJ. #SayNoToOneChance

Be civil my friend, these dinners are meant to promote harmony and understanding among our politicians.
Politics is not a do or die affair, the elections have been won and lost, its time to face governance issues that impact on our daily lives.

Dyt:
Each time I boarded
Its either I fight for someone tapping my ass or mistakenly touch my boobs or I throw up cos I am choking
Deep sigh

Lol !!!
It was both ways because I remember entering a molue and had to stand because I was rushing somewhere.
A certain naughty lady was using her bosom to press hard against my back, whenever the conductors asks people to move further inside the bus to create space for other passengers to board, and was grinning mischeviously whenever i squirm in discomfort at what she was doing.

Keneking:
Sore loser...
Lost due to greed for power...
Lost due to incompetence in tackling insecurity, economic woes and weak leadership.
Lost to a supreme candidate
Lost to poor campaigns
Lost to cluelessness on issues relating to corruption and impunity.
Lost to numerical strength in opposition.
Lost for postponing the election by 6 weeks.
Lost due to poor campaign teams.
Lost due to spouse control and influence on your personhood over affairs of the country.

Whatever.
GEJ has his name etched in our consciouness and also posterity.
Despite rants like this, history will judge him kindly because he had a sincere committment to governance.

Lala247:
All that super powers and they look like dat lool

Darn !!!
Now am definitely going to have nightmares.
Hurries out............ to search for his bible.

mehnn !!!

See transformation from Gagool ( The witch in the book, 'King Solomon's Mines) to Nneka123 dark sister.

TooNoisy:
If I were the 'pastor', I will ask to apply the 'anointing oil' myself..... and you know what happens next

lmao. I am sure the sharp guy did something like that, that is what must have really annoyed the lady when she realised that she had been scammed.
Na 'do and follow' jazz she bin dey look for?

@Ops, your analysis was very lucid and true.
In politics, you must pander or agree with vital interest groups and shed encumbrances that will drown you politically for example , Abba Moro should have been made to resign after the immigration debacle,heads in the military and intelligence community should have been made to roll for the botched American rescue of the Chibok girls among other issues.

olamilian:
Too long

I guess its not your kind of news, a 1,000 page city people magazine would have been more delicious.

Pita99:
People collected their donated transformer back when they lost . PDP Candidate should collect his daughter back

lolzz. Na do me I do you, man no go vex.

6. Oba Akiola's Threat To Igbo's which made many of them not to go out and vote and also made igbos who were scared of the lagoon to vote for ambode.
lol

False statements. The Igbos were afraid of nothing as they voted for continuity.
They were successfully wooed by the APC on the need for continuity, especially through the pamphleets that were distributed by the party on the Thursday before the governorship election.
I mean who does not like good things whether Igbo or Yoruba.

JOBLESS YEEBOEES WASTING THE EARLY YEARS OF THEIR LIVES PROTESTING BECAUSE OF PEANUTS. WHEN THEY REALIZE THEIR LIFE IS MISERABLE, THEY START ROBBERY, KIDNAPPING AND DRUG TRAFFICKING FOR SURVIVAL. WHICH SANE TRIBE WILL GO OUT PROTESTING ON A MONDAY MORNING IF NOT THE JOBLESS YEEEBOOEEE YOUTHS. AFTER THEY WILL COME HERE TO SCREAM THAT THEY BUILT LAGOS. MUMUS

Those wearing the shoes know where it pinches most.
You are in your comfort zone, pontificating about Abia State, you probably have not gone beyond theLagos Toll gate in your miserable landlocked existence in Lagos state.
I advise you to get a life and Job too (Those Igbo Industrialists you know will be of great help here).

If I bi her husband, I no go let am bosom feed my child. She wan smother the baby or wetin

OrigamiIII:
They completely forgot the day of reckoning. The igbos expectation was to influence via gang up the Jimi Agbaje governoship victory and then corner him the same way they did the GEJ's administration. They want to use agbaje as a means to dominate the yorubas in their own land. See where it has landed them. Its pathetic. Anyway, the yorubas should henceforth relate with them with caution and suspicion. Don't give any inch otherwise they will take a yard. Nah so we take dey handle them for warri.

Delta bad belle against Igbos, na today.
I have a Delta colleague who told me that his grouse with Igbos is that they came all the way from the East, past Delta and Edo States and went to Lagos to become the most prosperous group, after the Yorubas (in his words).
The Delta guy said that after the Yorubas, they (Delta and Edo) are suppossed to be the next most prosperous people not the Igbos. Inagine that type of reasoning!!!
I explained to the Delta guy that Igbos are prosperous because they have a God given knack for business, like the Pakistanis in UK, and also have self-discipline; unlike some groups who take to boozing and marrying many wives when their business picks up a little, instead of consolidating their business through putting back such earnings to grow the business further.
I counselled the Delta guy to tell his people to study the habits of the Igbos that they too can become very prosperous if they imbibe the culutre of hardwork, business savvy and self-discipline.
