Young folks of nowadays will never get it. Isabella Ayuk attends a UN Youth Conference, besides stating the theme of the conference, nothing intellectually stimulating was reported, then the ridiculous regular line "Stuns".

Later when issues of politics, economy, management and leadership is on the front bunner and these "yoots" finds themselves in "strange lands" as always, you will be wondering whether some peoples intellect decides to stay perpetually in vacation...... later these same "yoots" will be complaining they have not been given shot at leadership

Olorunda is the local govt of my home town.

Arondizuogu:
At 25 a councillor? Nigeria needs help. Speaker Paul Ryan became a US congressman at that age. UN ambassador Hayley was a state congresswoman at that age and a Governor by 32.

Can I ask you a simple question?

How old are you and what have you become?

Intellect16:
The truth is, this people know how tinz are going to be eventually. They turn a very serious matter to a joke, playing on our intelligence. All knowing that our rants will only end on social media, then another serious matter arises and it is also made into a joke, thereby covering the previous matter, and so it is forgotten about.


Its high time we stop social media rants and make use of our power (P.V.C) and get whoever will be capable into position

We already solved this particular problem by voting GEJ out

Is she not suppose to deposit the money at the bank within a particular period? Why did they wait till it got to 36million before they started asking questions? I strongly think a higher authority is involved and she's just a scapegoat... why didn't her pastor pray and summon the snake so it would produce the money. When you think you've seen it all... Nigerians won't seize to amaze me... and Madam Linus even lied that she wasn't Questioned about the money

Pedestrian questions like these are part of the problem

obalolaunited:
This country is a joke but seriously where did we get all wrong... Very disheartening, not funny how do u come in front of panel with confidence and a bold face that snake swallowed 36million naira. I bet in the next few week you won't hear anything about the story again.And to make it worst you,I,journalist, nobody is asking questions.And yet we say there's hope for this nation.

We got it wrong the very day we threw our individual value systems to the dogs. Pray tell, how could we rationalize people spending monies that the sources could not be ascertained? How do we rationalize monies leaving the treasury and not being properly accounted for?

Handsomecole:
Sincerely speaking all these can only be revealed under Buhari's regime, only him has the courage to unveil all these atrocities that have been committed over time.

... a reality many of our ethnic jingoists, religious bigots, depraved minds, id.oitic brains and self dellude minds want us to overlook.

But correction. Not only Buhari, may be Buhari for now

The man heading the committee outrightly called the lady a thief before she could even explain herself.

That tells us a lot about the leaders of this sink hole

I try to rationalize (albeit without any success) the "rationale" in your post...... it made absolutely no sense. I wonder if it was not obvious that an accounts clerk could not account for N36m in scratch cards, not enough grounds to call her worse than an armed robber/"barawo-banza/Ole-ajibole". How you find it convenient to pin this on "leaders" tells me that a part populace which you're representative of actually needs to save themselves from their greatest enemy - THEMSELVES

EternalTruths:
Open the ports in the East and let's see if Lagos will survive the tsunami that will hit her.

That is why Yoruba nation is the greatest anti Biafra nation within Nigeria.

Truth is nobody is "closing" the ports in the east, especially when Lagos is conjested. Shippers would have loved to move more inland where they probably will get incentives like cheaper landing costs. Ask yourself why are they not? Why have investors not even chosen to put money down to develop these inland ports?

Shippers will not go to the east if we don't solve the problem of security in Warri axis of the water ways. Militias and Pirates for starters.

Odingo1:

12submarine: :

Oga, who built Lagos is not my business, let each state controls its resources, that is a key to national development. Let's stop robbing Peter to pay Paul.

When the Niger delta oil money is flowing and you want resource control without breakup , can Lagos survive without Niger delta oil money , Kano and Lagos receive the highest allocation from oil money.

How do you think that there will be ever resource control in Nigeria.

Humor me! (@underlined)

Which beer parlor did you get this stats from?

Odingo1:

12submarine: :
Leeches. That is why they are against resource control. Apart from Lagos, all states in the ne, nw, nc, se and sw are bloody parasites.

Who build lagos , lagos is former capital of Nigeria, FG concentrated all infrastructure there, just like Abuja is been built if not lagos will be like others.

This is the same ole rhetoric/narrative albeit lies that you people decided to pursue. It will not help development in your state. Lagos has witnessed (still is) monumental development in the last 18yrs that probably trumps what FG did when the capital was in Lagos. You are better off if you put your state governors on their toes rather than waiting for manna from FG. The moment your governors start dishing out cash for the boys or doing useless and needless projects instead of investing in long lasting developmental infrastructure projects, your children has the risk of the same story in the underlined in future

mabea: :
No confussion at all. Maybe you should carefully read it again.

It is very confusing. The headline says some states pay their civil servants high despite poor revenue but the report itself compares the civil servants salaries with the states' respective IGRs. The confusion with the headline as compared with the report is that one will assume those states pay higher than other states, and that is not the case in the report.

Bros,

I guess you're probably the only one confused about this or struggling to understand. Seems your problem is you already had a fixation and as such struggles to match the body of the article with you fixation. When the headline say "XX & YY pays workers high despite poor revenue", the basis of comparison should be the next question you should ask. Where in that headline is state-by-state comparison suggested? The headline is simply a pointer that you should ask "What is the basis of comparison?"; which you can only establish if you read the article.

Icon79:
Many of these numbers don't make sense. Let me give you one example below:

Lagos with the biggest economic base in the country, generated three-digit IGR of N302.42 billion in 2016, and it pays its directors N347,733, deputy directors N182,253, and assistant directors N147,318 per month. It is spending N72 billion annually to pay its 100,433 workers.

The oil-rich Rivers state is paying directors N285, 000, deputy directors N265, 000, and assistant directors N230, 000. It is spending N100.8 billion on its 25, 000 workers every year. It generated N85.29 billion in 2016, according to NBS data.

Lagos State is spending N72 billion annually to pay 100,433 workers; whereas
Rivers State is spending N100.8 billion annually to pay 25, 000 workers every year.
Hence, Lagos states have 4 times more workers than Rivers states; yet Rivers state spends about 25% more on workers salary than Lagos state!

Are you freaking kidding me?


O pari

Have you heard about "Ghost Workers" Rivers State could be the domain of Ghost workers. Aside from the fact that Rivers pay comparatively less than Lagos, you wonder where the remaining went. My suspicion is Militants, Cultists, Pipeline boys, political militia boys and "govt escrow"

Perge:
Who told this aboki reporter that Almajiri infested Kano is the most populated state in Nigeria?

....except you were not born when the most recent census was taken.....and google is not installed on your device.....

bbulldog:
Dont misinform people, make your headlines straight please.

Bros,

The headline is as concise and clear as it should be. It is the reader that should not be jumpy and lazy, they must endeavour to read the whole thing.

Obascoetubi:

12submarine: :

Read the story, it is not exactly what the headline says. Kogi is no where close to highest paid civil servants. The report compares states' IGRs with their respective civil servants salaries with directors, deputy and assistant directors as case studies.

My goodness! You mean you actually did not read the story, yet you commented?

But come to think of it, can't DANGOTE, OTEDOLA, ADENUGA etc build like 1000 low-cost houses each and give to their low-wage workers for FREE?
There are just making profits, yet their riches does not benefit anyone!

....and I am wonder why any of the trio should give it to them free? What stops the supposed "low-wage" workers from working hard to earn a decent living. The mentality of expecting freebies/manner and the likes is why many people will continue to be poor

IsYou:
Like seriously? Before you comment make sure you watch the video.


Look before you leap.

You're right on the mark.

1. He DID not say Dangote will not make heaven
2. His analogy is in context. "What is the difference between A christian and A rich man like Dangote? The difference is "one will make heaven and one will not make heaven."
3. So I can put it into context that (a) either one of them (b) each individual or (c) none of them

(a) The one that meets the criteria of making heaven - John 14: 6
(b) consequent upon one above, the one who is readily preparing - John 14:3
(c) Matt 7: 21-23

So either it is the "Christian" or "Dangote" that fits the bill, one or both can make heaven

leye001:
That's gross.

Sorry lil' Sis, but srsly sometimes for some unique reasons parents give girls names that are "traditionally" boys. It may be that something unique happened when you were born

OreoPaschal:
What is the meaning of Yemisi, Ramotu and Olaniyi in Yoruba. I am not Yoruba, but I have plans of giving my child a Yoruba name.

Yemisi - "treat me specially or honorably"

Olaniyi - Wealth that comes with honour

Ramotu - ok let's be funny here. This is a classic Islamic name which the Yorubas have "murdered" with our intonation. I think it should be "Rahamat" (which when pronounced by Arabs or Hausas sounds cool). We Yorubas decided to put our local flavour so you hear "Ramota" "Ramo" etc. Also "colloquially"(Yoruba-wise) could mean someone who "escapes"

Uncommon Yoruba female and male names with meaning

There are enough namesakes running around and parents just don’t want their son or daughter to be another one with the same popular name.

Uncommon Yoruba female and male names with meaning

Besides that, there are research results that show how people with uncommon names differ from others. They have different ambitions, different characters, and different lives. The point is that a child with a rare beautiful name feels slightly uncomfortable with it through the whole life and it’s a great motivation. For example, a child’s name means something so significant that people start to put great expectations on him or her. It makes a child strive for the success, prove that he or she is worth it. This is how notable personalities are created by a name alone.

On the other hand, by giving their child an uncommon name, parents just want to return to their roots and remember the culture and traditions of their ancestors. It’s a great tendency that young parents look through some Yoruba names dictionary to choose the most authentic and meaningful name for their baby. It’s a guarantee that traditions and beliefs of their people won’t be forgotten with time.

1. "Indomie" Generation!!!!
2. None of these names will qualify as uncommon. When you refuse to learn or properly speak the language, why would normal Yoruba names not be "uncommon"
3. Good names you're supposed to give your children full here berekete, but no. You will be "naming" them "ogbanje" names "Shaniqua", "Esmeralda", "Kayla", "Shawn" etc

Probably they were expecting a boy......and you showed up

Ok my mistake comrade. I'll keep quite .

sorry my bad. I was in d thick of something when I replied. My head was allover d place then. Pls am not debating with as u seem 2 have taken d issue personal & even resorted 2 attacking my person. I made my point and I believe u can make yours without resorting any attacks on my person. If ur intention is 2 inform not claim superiority, I think u will understand. I could learn a thing or two. Let me ask, foreign exchange reserves and external reserves, what's d difference?

Hello Bro,

I also apologise, seems I went over the edge. I am all for sharing knowledge and I accept that's where we should relate. I also agree with you, nobody is an embodiment of all knowledge; we learn from each other. What I probably abhor is when people bring on what is obviously false, what cannot be substantiated and mostly what beggar logic.

PS. Foreign Exchange Reserves is also correct........my bad!

Desyner:
Which report disputes that? Stop pulling imaginary things outta your äss

You can see you're just a time waster, fake and very unintelligent. Run along

Desyner:
You seek facts but expect me to supply them and think i am lazy. I don't blame you. A scale cannot weight itself. Your brain can only judge others based on its own power.

I am not "seeking any facts" dummy!. I am asking you to do the honorable thigh (if you have honor). Substantiate the claim you made with veritable fact. You said 99% of the over $12b increase in external reserves is due to crude oil price increase. Which reports waa that published? NNPC? Cbn? NBS? Which one? Is that difficult for you to get and backup your claims?

lexy2014:
FBNQuest wouldn't read my post. Its u and several others who will read it. So d post wasn't meant 4 FBNQuest. Interestingly, foreign loans in this case eurobond, are domiciled with CBN and classified as foreign exchange reserves. So yes, they are kept as part of d nations foreign reserve until d govt begins 2 draw on that account 2 use d loan 4 its intended purpose

1. It's obvious you do not understand. It's "External Reserves". Foreign exchange reserves? OMG! It's useless engaging you in any credible debate
2. So it's not surprising that your comprehension on the issues analyzed by FBNQuest is zero. I can safely conclude that your case is "I just want to talk"

Desyner:
You have the fact to counter me or you are out to derail again?

You mean you throw stuffs out here not back up with stats, yet you expect me to supply facts to rebut? C'mon your intellectual laziness should not be at that low ebb
