HopeAtHand:
Rivers state, though with its smaller population shouldn't be so far behind lagos in IGR. This is a state blessed with abundant oil and gas, have two of nigerias four refineries, a petrochemical plant, Nigeria LNG plant, seaports and railway terminal. All these have been in existence for decades.

The Nigerian culture of neglect (some may argue its tribalism) has left Rivers ports and rail terminal moribund. Let our seaports and the railway services btwn Rivers and Neighbouring state be functional as see our IGR figures doubled.

If a true fiscal federalism is achieved for states, Lagos will lag behind Rivers. Nothing exceptional with Lagos leaders because you can have tall dreams but without funds you cannot achieve it.

HopeAtHand:
If Nigeria reverts to true fiscal federalism, i'd love to see what figures Lagos state will post.. and the figures for Rivers.

Sincerely, Rivers state has prospects. Only if Amaechi and Wike can keep politics aside and forge ahead, get our ports functional, deal with cultism and invest on Greater Port Harcourt (GPH), i see us getting closer to Lagos states IGR in a few years time.

Do you have evidence of this , or is it just the usual bile ridden stupidity from a deranged zombie brain

Ihejirika took over from Dambazau , dambazau was commsioned 2lt on June 1977, Ihejirika commision 2lt on December 1977
dambazau became a GOC on in Jan 2007,same for Ihejirika

these facts can be crosschecked from the Nigerian army website and wiki pages of individuals involved.Zombie...do not
waste a perfectly "functional" brain.

Whatever the new Ig is doing is within his prerogative,but besmirching others like
you did is the hallmark or a failed person.

zendy:
In that case, he is a goner. But how can Uche Ogar be sworn in when he never stood for elections? It should be Alex Otti who should be there having polled second in the elections

Ayire:

joeprince23: this is strange... Buhari have destroyed our judiciary

first you destroyed English
2. did you read the news at all? the problem is with his party.
last bullet for the sake of your parent and your own unborn child(ren) USE YOUR BRAIN.

Angelb4:

joeprince23: :
this is strange... Buhari have destroyed our judiciary

1) It's Buhari 'HAS', not 'HAVE'. Bros, you should even be happy that he didn't say "Buhari nyaff......"

2) Ikpeazu's fellow PDP member took him to court, and he's to be the next govo of that state

3) Always read before you comment (that's if you can read anyway).

Thank you.

SucreB:
We wonder why they are removing experienced hands that would have helped him steer the police to greater heights.

“These officers that will be retired, are the last set of senior policemen that were trained abroad, or have gone for short courses. - some lies are just ridiculous. Last set of who? trained where? Abeg. Training is continuom everywhere and this line of thinking is lame.

“I don’t know why we are wasting manpower. By removing these old hands, we will have to expend huge amount of money to train the new crop of AIGs and CPs.” Removing old hands is relative and irrelevant in these context. If these "old hands" were that superb why haven't we seen their superior skills in policing the country.

................................................................................................................................................................
very soon we'll be hearing no money, GEJ admin embezzled all, sebi na stone una go use train the new ones bah. kontinu

your damn days are numberd!

i talk am, this man smiling face is not normal. "esu odara"

Billyonaire:
Why were his seniors in service, who are beyond him based on merit and years of experience ignored for the position of IG ?

Why do we jump chains of command in this country and select someone we like ?

This is nepotism and it discourages meritorious enterprise. I feel the almighty President had already decided to retire those people but was just shopping for anyone, that will be ready to do his bidding as IG.

I really hope we all survive the in-experienced experimentation of this wonderful administration that was foisted on us by the ignorant majority. There is more efforts today in retrenchment and replacement of people in governance than the governance itself.

Very shameful to be a Nigerian this past year.

Greatfuture:
Dont politicise it,its nothing new in military and palamilitary, one your junior head the force all the senior goes,tafa balogun,okiro onovo,hafiz ringim and many where picked above there seniors and the seniors had to go.

MadCow1:
The does not make Common Sense to me..

Eluwilussit:
From what you are saying, it appears to me that you presume that everyone who received money during elections, ought to know that it was part of the $2.1 billion? Really? - They were paid by ONSA so claiming ignorance of the source is stupid

If you are sincere, you should know that most of the people may not have an idea where the money came from. Didn't pdp raise funds, just like apc? So all funds donated to PDP were paid to ONSA?

A man of integrity should start from himself. I, like most honest Nigerians, don't care about pdp or apc. They are both the same. What most of us are saying is simple. Justice. Equity. Fairness. Free playing ground. Don't shield your corrupt sponsors, while chastising everyone from opposition.And you "well meaning Nigerians" believe allegations made and should not be proven?

You are talking of the courts? You are a hypocrite. When last did saint Buhari obey the courts? If we wait for the courts, trust me, we will wait for eternity and in vain. so what do you suggest? public lynching?

Dammyllionaire:
Pls, who is aware of how someone can apply to become a contractor under this programme?

waice6571:
What if government initiate a sincere project to make life easy for their parents rather this orphanage approach?

waice6571:
I live a better life in my God's give capacity.

Show me a suffering child and I will show you an irresponsible parent.

I'm saying this because of people like you who has resigned their life into perpetual lack and want and regularity of salary. You guys never want to adventure your life and live above obscurity and mystery of Poverty.

No wonder you and your likes and your children are waiting for free food which will latter upturn you life to be a perpetual political objects.

From day one I was not deceived.

Drop this idea of free food,the end thereof is grinding lack and frustrations.

Lastly, Even though ain't big fan of Buhari yet ain't a hater!

Nigerianboi:
its only the north that will bebefit mostly, although its a laudable initiatiative

Rexyl:

MadCow1: There is already a fund for schools.. Its called the UBE Fund.

which hasn't go round, but it would be funny to see school feeding program go round... I pray N50 worth food won't be served at N500!

akinbros:
Yeah I support that the money is within the economy and If an 'average Nigerian' will gain contract for supplies and the rest. Its a good idea.

To me I'm looking at government investing 400billion creating production companies of 1billion naira each of 400 units or 500million naira each of 800 companies in different categories of products to boost our export scattered all over the federation that will boost our non -oil exports, thereby creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and earning fx into our economy.

Lets imagine 400billion annually for 4yrs creating such and that will by far reduce importation to a very large extent.

Primary school students are not starving/hungry.

Izonpikin:
if this can be achieved no wahala...i would rather have opted for free education and improvement school facilities to standard...if parents can have their kids trained well in schools i dont think food would be a problem for them to provide for their kids...tuition fees for standard schools is the critical issue here and not food...

originally:
Empower the parents,they will take good care of their children

Meringe:
To me it is a total waste.


Feeding is a personal thing, it can only make some people richer.


It might work well in the north to increase enrollment but not in the East, where you have almost 100% enrollment.


This is a northern culture.


Provide a good learning environment.

Make studying attractive to them through provision of the basic materials as it is obtained in the West , not food.

Pay the teachers very well to boost morale.

Eluwilussit:
Don't you think that the number of persons being accused will make the $2.1b amount to stipends after sharing? The simple thing to do is to arrest and try the chief culprits : Jonathan and Dasuki.

Some of these men being harassed may not have known the source of the money. It could simply have been pdp money. Just like the one apc used to execute their campaigns and elections was apc money.

It is ridiculous to assume that apc spent all the billions, matching pdp almost dollar for dollar, without persons like Amaechi, Tinubu and Fashola contributing from their stolen wealth.

Meanwhile Mr. Integrity has hired 15 SAS to defend his certificate forgery. Isn't it easier to just show the certificate? Hypocrisy and double standard is killing this government. Nigerians deserve better.

fm4real2k6:
I have read somewhere that it is because of harsh economy, but I disagree if even the economy is better, something like this will still happen.
,

AIT was never futuristic when they are setting up all these stations, they never consider digitalisation, all what Dorkpesi was looking for is personal ego in the name of rivalry NTA.

TVC could have made same mistake too, but they look at CHANNELS business and operational model, so they align themselves . Channel is still the wiseest of them all.

With Digitalisation, you can be watched anywhere in the country, so what is the essesnse of having AIT Benin, Maiduguri, Ilorin Osogbo, when AIT Lagos is a ccess able on cable. And. Not like these local stations are making money they are just parasites. iwont be suprised if AIT close other stations.

Having residence correspondence will save cost and still achieve more. Intact in not too distance time, all the so called state correspondence will be contracted out to would've content provider enterprenures.

frenchwine:
While our Liar in Chief always makes haste to trumpet the virtual jobs they are creating ( even if N power wouldn't come on stream this calendar year), many more are loosing real jobs.
A more sensible government would fix the economy and watch as jobs stack on themselves but mba! Not ours.

In the letter to the affected staff who are being owed salaries for upwards of two years, Okasoga said their appointments have been terminated with effect from June 13 2016.

atirolu:
That is what happens when ur pay master or party is no longer in power

Please does EFCC have the right to go looting the homes of suspects as they like?

Eluwilussit:
Nigerians, abeg I wan ask questions that have been bothering me about this $2.1b:

1) The 2.1bUSD no dey finish? Almost the entire pdp chop am.

2) If these many people choose am, then everyone must have gotten a stipend.

3) if everyone got a stipend, then apc and Buhari's government are lying.
