Imo State known for noiseless achievement.

9jaRealist:


Of course you cannot...

Apparently, sticking to facts and substance (instead of rolling in the mud of personal insults) completely threw you off, but let me know what was apparently too difficult for you to comprehend about the factual assertion that Nigerian government-owned businesses have repeatedly failed and that Nigerian governments have repeatedly shown no capacity to successfully run businesses, and thus we should not persist with what has repeatedly failed us. SMH

You are getting ridiculous...

Are you saying that Nigerians have an existential problem with making government endeavours work/thrive?

My friend think stuff through before hitting the keyboard...

A conscientious leader will out round pegs in round holes to ensure that processes and initiatives work.

The fundamental problem is that the so-called leaders themselves embody graft and official recklessness thereby confirming the aphorism/truism that one cannot give what they never had in the first place.

The problem of Africa begins and ends with the quality of leadership...

You dont spend tens of millions either to sink a borehole or to design a website which in each case cost a minutiae of their actual costs and then turn round and expect your followers to do otherwise.

The law of sowing and reaping is universal, my friend...

9jaRealist:


I will leave the gutter of personal insults to you and stick with the substance of the discourse... SMH

First, we are discussing govt-owned businesses in NIGERIA, and hence the specific reference to "Nigerian govts are ill-suited thereto".
What is the rational basis to compare Nigerian government(s) with those of China, India, South Korea, Singapore and other Asian Tigers?

Meanwhile, South Korea did NOT develop its economy using government-owned businesses. Instead, the government supported and protected the PRIVATELY-owned chaebols (which were oligarchies and even monopolies), when in contrast many in the Nigerian chattering class regularly blow the proverbial gasket when the CBN as much as SELL (emphasis added) foreign currency to Dangote to build the world's largest single-train refinery that would employ hundreds of Nigerians (from engineers and other professionals to unskilled and artisanal labor) while saving Nigeria billions in imported products and even earning forex for Nigeria. Ultimately, our OWN history should be our best teacher!

I am afraid I cannot get the thrust of your assertions.

Sort of wide off the mark...

9jaRealist:


Why must we Nigerians insist on repeating failed methodologies ad infinitum?
How many government-owned "factories and industries" will fail before we finally grasp that Nigerian govts are ill-suited thereto?

The maintenance depot at Awoyaya-Lekki (there are two others located at Yaba and Oshodi) is also an assembly plant where the projected future batches of these buses (only 820 of the projected 5000 over the long-term has been acquired) are planned to be produced LOCALLY - but pursuant to a PPP arrangement. The proper primary function of government is to make it easier to conduct business in Lagos, and a more efficient, effective and comfortable public transportation system (hopefully encompassing rail in the near future and water transportation) would substantially contribute towards that end.

Oga, I dont want to sound snarky but there is no intellectual input in what you wrote above.

There is more to critical thinking than rehashing hackneyed phrases, mouthing cliches and surrendering to the pull of group thinking/herd instinct.

Who told you that it is a taboo for government to lead the way in industrialization and job creation?

Ever head of the countries called China, India, South Korea, Singapore and other Asian tigers?

Wake up guy, the bus has left....

Why not commission factories and industries which will create employment and value to society?

Why must Lagos remain synonymous with BRT and buses? Fashola did it, Ambode did it and this Sanwo-Olu chap will also do it...

What is wrong with black people? You are helping promote Chinese businesses and think we should be applauding you?

Jessyjack:






are you sane at all.....? I think Seun and his colleagues should start asking for medical report before allowing some people register here...... it's appalling to see people jump from their sleep to say thrash..........

Please try to refine your outbursts...

Jessyjack:



God bless you for this question..... the only reasonable person on this thread..... in this buhari time,who will agree to be paid peanuts because he/she teaches in a free school.....?

People like you need to be prayed for!

When Jesus fed 5000 men, on whose account was the cost of feeding and provision debited?

Please pray against poverty mentality and the spirit of meanness and selfishness...

Those who water get watered.

There are tons of people spending their resources to cater for the less privileged without getting/expecting anything in return...

There is certainly more to life than I, me, myself and my family!

franklingud:

Abia is between Enugu and imo
If you leave Enugu from the south going to Imo, you will pass Abia first.

You are missing it...

There is no land border between Imo and Enugu states...

Where is Enugu boundary with Imo State?

Read you cannot...

The adjective or qualifier should be "freckled"...

Spotted ko, leopard ni...

Obio Akpor result will cure this your madness today

Obio Akpor will explode like a bomb when its results are announced.


They don't call Wike wicked for nothing...

Dude is the most rugged politician in Southern Nigeria...

The attitude you adopt when it took you 15 years to buy a 1998 car model in 2019...

bender79:
You think every body has time like Saraki? Saraki's act was treacherous and it is only a criminal that will behave that way. I don't think this set of pdp lawmakers have the time to manipulate things. They will simply allow APC do there thing and look forward to the deliberations on the floor of the house

How old are you?

wellmax:


Sorry for your miserable self

You are allowing needless bile to eat you up...

I am having a ball over here...

wellmax:


Rubbish, he has not even being sworn in you are talking about interest of those who elected him. If I may ask, what is their interest?

You are even talking about ultimate/Supreme penalty. You are 100% ignoramus

I feel sorry for you...

gurnam:


Why is igbo politics always centered around waiting for and punishing supposed “betrayers”?

You’ve been waiting to punish yorubas since 2015 but you keep failing and failing, your only politics for the 9th assembly is to “punish” yorubas

Your 2023 politics is also to “punish” yorubas

Are you saying that no matter the performance of Ifeanyi Ubah in the Senate, you will punish him in 2023, regardless of the capacity of his opponent and his own performance in the next 4 years?

Very foolish politics I tell you!

What is the sense in what you are writing?

A law maker is a representative of the people who elected him to promote their interest...If the lawmaker begins to champion his selfish agenda without considering the interest, worldview and peculiarities of the person who gave him the mandate, then he should be ready to pay the ultimate/supreme penalty...

Politics is local, my friend....

seunmsg:


That will amount to political suicude. ask senators Misau and Nafada.

So in your mind, Bala Mohammed, who has weathered countless storms to remain in PDP, will now join APC now that he has immunity and executive power?

Which party held sway in Bauchi before the coming of Buhari?

There will be a mass defection to PDP in the coming days....You should see that clearly.

When will IIfeanyi Uba learn?

Ejimagift:




Bro is there any provision for couples that are not skilled but willing to migrate to Canada? Let say the husband is a self employed business man (trader) and wife sell clothes but they have the financial capacity to relocate to Canada. Any advice?

You and your likes are going nowhere!

You cannot foist Buhari on Nigeria and turn around and be talking or recommending traveling....

graceajunwa:


We are not going as visitors I may Ned to ask d agent d type of visa he is getting for us. Once our visa is ready we were asked to pay certain amount of money that will cover our rent for one year. Note this money will only be paid once we hv our visa, also d plan includes getting a job for us in other words d job will b made available for us. Initially we were told we couldn’t go with d kids until after six months we send for them . But when I them they were jus below 5 he said it’s ok for them to come along cos it would hv Ben more difficult if Dey were above 10 years.

Dont take the agents word for it...

Try and get contacts of some Nigerians living in Canada to get a practical overview of things.

You must be street-wise/smart....Emigration and living abroad or hustling is for smart people.

Use agents but also do your due diligence or else you could become cannon fodder for the wolves out there...

graceajunwa:
My husband n I are both in grade level 10 and it’s a two year visa subject to renewal by d company offering us d job. To get to d apex in carrier will not be really easy for me but my husband is likely to get there considering their agency is not as populated as ours. Am just thinking how possible it wil be to relocate n survive in Canada doing miner jobs. I forgot to mention, someone i know arranging it for us though I stil doubt d authenticity by I hv a level of trust on d person. He told us my children can go with us to have better education. Pls I Ned street advice is it worth it for Us to resign our jobs. My husband n I decided that if d two of us cannot go together then it’s better we don’t go at all so d option of only one person resigning is out of d question.. I don’t really know about Canada accepting unskilled workers can u pls shade more light

You really have to get smart....

Why not take a vacation and use the time to conduct research and possibly get a feedback from countless Nigerians residing in Canada.

These days of the internet make it easy to get functional information in a jiffy.

Whatever you do, dont allow fear to stifle an opportunity for growth.

Prodigytal:


One did it against lyon, a small team in France. bother did it again athletico, a team touted to have the best defence in the world while being two goals down. Think about it.

Atletico came to Turin to be humiliated...

They were playing to lose...

They have lost 1-3 to Real Madrid at home this season.

Ronaldo is a supremely gifted football...

He is one of the most ambitious athletes ever but Messi has that deux ex machina which is difficult to describe.

Messi takes the cake... That is how most pundits see it.

udo2018:
Young man stop talking trash.. You obviously don't know Imo state.. Imo state can match Anambra billion for billion.. The only difference between Anambra and Imo billionaires is that Imo billionaires are educated and refined while Anambra billionaires are illiterates and noise makers.. Aside Arthur Eze can any Anambra man rub shoulders with the likes of Stan Leo Eke(Zinox), Tony Ezenna(Orange Drugs) and Paschal Dozie( Diamond Band)?

If I were from Anambra State, I would be ashamed by the uncouth outbursts and empty bravado being made by simple-minded folks from my state.


We are educated in Imo State. We will never condescend so low...

Yyeske:
If you d'ont know, Anambra moneybags control most states in the SE aside Anambra.
Udenwa came in when we were fresh in democracy, Okorocha rode on the popularity of APGA and finanancial support from same Anambra moneybags before he decamped.

Make better use of your time...

Asshurbanipali:
Lol.. toughest to who? It was not tough when in 2011 Emeka Offor bankrolled Okoroawusa into imo government house lol

Now Arthur Eze has bankrolled Emeka into the same imo government house. Lol

Tough people indeed

Abeg meet the new godfather in imo state lol


[s][/s]

You are a comedian with limited skills...

Asshurbanipali:
What is this one yapping? Strong mbaise man? What does that supposed to mean? Na for imo state he go dey do that nonsense.

As it stands now Arthur Eze is the new godfather to Ihedioha the gov of imo state. You better start dealing with it lol


[s][/s]

Ochi Eze!

Godfather to the governor of Imo State? Dude stick to what you know and hapu akuko Mike Ejiagha a inakoyeri ebea...

Imo State is one of the toughest states politically in Nigeria.

Who was Udenwa's godfather? What of Rochas or were the so-called moneybags paupers when the above-mentioned governors held sway?

You are not an Igboman else I would have schooled you properly...

globemoney:

How did you expect Ihedioha to run a robust campaign against Rochas financially? Arthur Eze has been sponsoring elections in SE right from time even in Anambra but he has never succeeded in Anambra, Emeka Offor contributed immensely to why Ohakim didn't win, he financed Rochas heavily against Ohakim.. Ibeto sponsored Umahi heavily against the former ebonyi governor. Ikpeazu of Abia wouldnt have won without Olisah Metuh, These are facts and its not when we say it some of you become sensitive.
Saying it does not mean I want to slight Imo people. I love Imo state, my village shares boundary with Imo state. My family marries to imo state.

Two words: OMATA analysis..

Yyeske:
Ike gwulu, I hate this state contest stuff but Ndi Imo would always want to accuse our people unnecessarily.
Ihedioha(Ifedilora) in Anambra dialect visited his sponsor , simple.

I am enjoying this comic skit...

Asshurbanipali:
Stop the long grammar. Arthur Eze sponsored Ihedioha and he won.

Ohakim is an outcast, so he is not regarded in Anambra.

Peter Obi campaigned for Ihedioha in Imo state and he won.

You are trying too hard...

A non-Igbo or at best a misguided Igbo regaling himself in simple-minded assertions...

People from Imo State will laugh at your ridiculous stories...

InvertedHammer:

/
Arthur Ezeh is the noiseless Jagaban of Igbo land. He is everywhere. He sponsored Ikpeazu who renegaded later and their battle became public engagement. He can conveniently throw in N1bn into a campaign but it usually comes with a huge price. That huge price is what Imo people should be worried about.

/

If indeed Arthur Eze contributed financially to the emergence of Ihedioha then he Arthur should be the one who should worry....

Ihedioha is a strong-willed Mbaise man...We in Imo State are nobody's stooges and nobody picks a fight with us they know they cannot win.

In the spirit of brotherliness, let all Igbos intermingle and relate...

This funny supposition of who is sponsoring who strikes me as the pastime of a lazy mind...

globemoney:

Arthur Eze sponsored Ihedioha, period, you clowns should take your noise out of mentions.. What did Ohakim support give Bianca and how did peter obi come into this matter?

I have only pity for you...

Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, one of the richest Igbo men is from Imo State....

Try and respect yourself.

globemoney:

It has always been that way. All SE states pay homage to Anambra even the ousted roaches.

It’s funny that Arthur has influence in all SE states except his own Anambra. Anambra esika!

An Mbaise man and indeed an Imo State man never defers to an Anambra man...

Peter Obi comes to Imo State as if it were his backyard just as Imo politicians go to Anambra without inhibition...

When Ohakim was helping front Bianca for the Senate did you say Imo State was running Anambra politics?

All these non Igbos who don't know jack about how Ignoland works trying too hard to make unsolicited contributions....
