Note I'm not defending the thiefs


25 billion is $25 million dollars give any USA local government this amount to run monthly and it would collapse none can survive

How much do you think would pay all the civil servants in the state, local government, communities, maintain the traditional rulers

Now maintain the ministries, agencies, schools
Universities, technical schools

Cars, chalk, markers, petrol, diesel, frequently maintenance

If you give delta budget to California they would size to exist

If you give California budget to Delta per year for 10 years you would have somewhere better than California even with corruption
You need to visit other states eg Northern States who don't receive such allocations and see the level of development. A lot of our SS brothers have established themselves in such states, or gainfully employed and are reluctant to return to their home states.

I've mentioned it severally, most SS leaders and politicians are the epitome of greedy, selfish, insincere and foolish humans, but think they are too wise.

You can imagine in oil-producing states, the citizens would seek various avenues to continuously BEG the governor to fix the state roads in order to leave their homes and be productive, and also reduce the rate of deaths due to the state of the roads. Unemployment? I've never seen such rate in my life; that's why these areas are home to various vices such as yahoo, cultism, etc.

Apart from Rivers, probably Cross River and Akwa Ibom, the rest na apology, especially Delta and Bayelsa with their relatively large allocations.
PropertiesRe: Promise Land Company Accused Of Landgrabbing In Abuja As Victims Raise Alarm by NaMe4: 10:09am On Nov 20, 2023
DonFreshmoney:
Kugbo where I live...

the land behind my mansion are run by confused lots. You see sunrise estate people, crown estate people, promise land estate pipo coming to claim land there.. I just dey look dem like buffoons...

Crime and corruption is arising in this abuja.. that's how one land grabber in 2021 wanted to claim my kugbo land I built my mansion that i built on their land.. they think say I no sabi rights and laws of abuja.
I can just imagine. It would be probably worse today. I bought multiple lands from a company in Kugbo about 9 years ago, and I travelled a lot during that period and had them assist in processing the Cof O. Only to find out the largest amongst the lands had multiple potential owners: Myself, a director at FCDA, a business woman in Switzerland, and some other person.

If you want to buy lands in Abuja, ensure you carry out due diligence, best if you are around in person. If you want to buy from estates, ensure it's an already developed estate. If you have cash to buy in choice areas, buy from previous owners after thorough search/verification.

PoliticsRe: Omoluabi Culture Under Attack by NaMe4: 12:09pm On Nov 15, 2023
seeme2:
The animosity has been on since decades but my people have been too happy-go-lucky to notice. It gas nothing to do with Tinubu. To believe me just look back to 2009; the kinds of premeditated attacks on the Omoluabi ideology coming from people who have no history of their own which they can be proud of.

These people who are not known until recent decades for any great accomplishments have lied so much about our history. They recruit people greater than them like the Edo to attack Omoluabi land. They are willing to partner any people to mitigate the might of Oduduwa because they don't have any of their own hence feel belittled by our history, culture, language, food, music, drama, and everything that is fast becoming the face of Africa itself as a continent.

Arise, Omoluabi rere. A ko gbodo je ki awon ono alainiiran wonyo bori. Today it's sponsoring tweet trends against the Ooni, tommorow its reengineering the history of Ile_Ife and Lagos. Next tommorow its diminishing the Itsekiri. This must stop ✋.
Once you see anyone claiming to be from Edo attacking the Yoruba/Omoluabi Culture, I can assure you, such person is not from Edo, but an impostor, usually in a faceless forum.

We Edos take Pride in preserving our culture (even though ours is under attack too), and respecting those of others not to talk of those we have close ties with.
PoliticsRe: Driver Surrenders To Police After Crushing LAWMA Officials To Death by NaMe4: 3:18am On Nov 15, 2023
ceasare:
The lastma guys too should be charged for culpable homicide along with the driver...why chase him? J's snap his plate nos and wait for him at his next renewal....somebody with sense need head that lastma unit.they are suppose to manage traffic situation and not enforcing traffic regulations.a separate squad that's tech savvy can even stay in there office with drones and catch traffic offenders including stupid danfos blocking road to pick n drop passengers ,track and seize the vehicle discreetly for infringement but guess what it won't happen because Nigerians like chaotic systems that's not auditable so they can fester in there corruption and that's d only reason why we don't protest the ineptitude and shenanigans of our politicians.
Am sure a danfo would hv plied that same one way n d lastma officers look away but once they see my car they jump in front or chase
There may be a flaw in this approach; what if the car is sold (transferred) to someone else before the next renewal or someone other than the owner drove the car the day the offence was committed? What if the last renewal was within the week the offence was committed?
The approach of capturing data of offenders works when there is an effective data system in place. For instance, linking the vehicle info to an existing NIN, BVN, TIN, etc and rendering these other instruments useless once an 'offender' evades law enforcers.
Also, effective surveillance systems must be in place to monitor activities of the law enforcers, as notably in many parts of Southern Nigeria, a lot of charlatans seem to be recruited into these agencies.

TravelRe: Driver Evading LASTMA Raid Crushes Street Cleaners To Death In Lagos by NaMe4: 1:32pm On Nov 13, 2023
Terrible!

In Benin City, there has been a rise in unruly behaviour by commercial drivers; not obeying traffic lights, driving one-way, etc with EDSTMA personnel just looking away.

These same people will complain about their leaders, but do the most despicable thing the next minute or whenever they have an opportunity.


Comedian2019:
I once asked a driver why he drove against traffic. He said he can't waste his fuel, that if he forms gentle man, he will use all his money to buy fuel.
This practice has become even more common since the increase in fuel price. Very disgusting and selfish, putting the lives of others at risk in a bid to 'cut cost'. Meanwhile, taking the next U-turn will not consume 1/2 litre of fuel.

There are a lot to celebrate in Edo State, The John Odigie Oyegun Public Service Academy, Please visit the Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub (which is World Class), The Nigerian Observer/Printing Press, renovated Palm House, Edo State School of Nursing Sciences...the list goes on and on.
Do you want us to go into Institutional Reforms like Civil service and Pension Reforms by the Governor Obaseki led-administration?
IWhar was the state of Irhirhi, Amagba, Okhoromi, Ogunwenyi, Obazagbon roads etc before Gov Obaseki became Governorhuh
Do you want us go into Human Capital Development ?
We may not have gotten to our promise land but i can emphatically state that we are no longer in the wilderness.
Una too dey exaggerate,
Someone who hasn't been to Edo State would think what you listed are some significant projects which would impact lives of the average Edolites.
In many other States, those roads listed up there are projects executed to even better standards by Local government councils. Despite these road projects being very limited and restricted to the capital, leaving the Central and the North in an abysmal state, they are of bad quality. For instance, there is a clear difference between the section of the Irhirhi road where Oshiomhole stopped and the section Obaseki continued with. Or is it the Ugbor Central/Amagba road that has broken down? There are clear advantages of properly constructed dualised roads especially within capital cities which States with serious leadership have embarked upon over the the past decade. Can we point to one in Edo State built in the past 8 years?
How come majority of Edolites within the capital city complain of poor basic infrastructure everyday?

How does Alaghodaro impact the average youth in Edo? Is the Edo Civil service space so small it can't engage its graduates/ even experienced professionals? Most of our graduates have to leave the State to make any sense of themselves. I always wondered until I came to Edo, and it's a failure in leadership.
I'm not going to dwell on the prevalence of certain vices which are direct consequence of these failures.

I will always appreciate my Edo people who through individual/private capacity have contributed, almost in entirety, to the level of development attained in the State so far.

Policy making is nothing if there would be improper implementation & monitoring and direct beneficiaries would be a few individuals rather than the general populace.

He said military personnel had been deployed to the affected village.


When contacted, the Assistant Director Public Relations Officer, Operation Lafiya Dole, Captain Muhammad Shehu, confirmed the incident.

He, however, added that the terrorists also alleged that the villagers were given information to the troops who were flushing them out from their hideout.
How effective has this approach been? Innocent people massacred almost on a daily basis.

Deploy troops, troops leave, terrorists attack - Deploy troops, troops leave, terrorists attack - Deploy troops, troops leave, terrorists attack ...

the cycle continues indefinitely.

Nigerian military (and security as a whole) cannot boast of novel approach(es) in addressing these incessant terror in various parts of the country? If paucity of funds is an issue, the anti-terror campaign should begin with those who steal billions monthly.

As mentioned in the write-up, take a look at the sectors attracting the foreign nationals. These are the sectors Nigerians tend to exclude and block one another from, irrespective of merit.
But in other countries, far more developed and advanced, Nigerians get such opportunities based on merit and capabilities.

So as long as a good number of Nigerians embrace this stinky culture of greed, selfishness, nepotism and corruption, this trend would continue.

PoliticsRe: Third Anniversary Of The Obigbo Massacre by NaMe4:
Investigations pointed in the direction of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) which had become the usual suspect for heinous crimes in Oyigbo, Rivers boundary with some south-eastern states, the group’s stronghold.

In the timeline on alleged IPOB violent incursions into Oyigbo, the group had, on eve of the 2020 Nigeria Independence Anniversary, allegedly killed a Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, operative and burnt a patrol vehicle before the nationwide #ENDSARS protests started.

Community sources alleged that the secessionist group appeared to have been involved in cases of violence in Oyigbo, especially against the civil populace.

Determined to put an end to IPOB’s presence while mitigating the havoc the visitors allegedly wreaked on Rivers, Governor Nyesom Wike has made some critical pronouncements following the latest Oyigbo mayhem.

On October 28, he signed an Executive Order reinforcing the Federal Government’s proscription of IPOB, as it affects Rivers.

The governor, after signing the order, said, “Let it be understood that we (Rivers) have nothing against any specific tribe and will continue to live in peace with people of all tribal extractions residing or doing business in our state. “But we have everything against the presence and activities of anarchic IPOB and whatever that group stands for in Rivers.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/11/ipobs-sins-in-rivers-by-wike/amp/




IPOB had been sneaking in from SouthEastern States, terrorising the people of Oyigbo, Rivers State way before ENDSARS protests.

They got tamed, and tamed good.

Now, as usual, they'll tell lies as their history.


Gajagojo:
Oyigbo isthe original name of the landowners who are from Eleme/Ogoni axis

Ibos under Azikiwe used their numbers and domineering attitude to change the name in the first republic

Sanity has been restored

Obigbo was NEVER part of Imo state

That is another IPOB lie

Gowon was not even in power in1976
Their lies are just nauseating. Never seen people obsessed with stealing lands and resources of others.
