^^^^^hey, triablist, yeah u^^^^ u know this thread is not about the faults of lagos right?its titled the "best gov", but then again what do i expect from a clear tribalist. hahhahahaha, i seen you pics of abia. dont u think itd be a good idea to let the governor of lagos govern that sh.it hole for like 4 months so he can effect some changes there?

Hey Oduduwa defender. This thread was not about Lagos. It was about the entire governors but red baba decided to turn it into Lagos. So I am helping him show the whole world the complete picture of Lagos. The good and bad must come together and nobody is deceived by the flashy side only. Fasola is not so hot afterall. BTW, some Yoruba in here are fast becoming synonymous with calling people tribalist just because their opinions differ.

People are confusing gun factory with police presence.
How can a gun factory make an area safe(r)?

On the other hand , if other regions do have just outfits then the east should too.
(just looking at the bigger picture here)

It could be safer in the sense that the gun production process will be regulated and the gun makers will have legit market to sell their products rather than sell to criminals. I guess that when people are busy working to earn a decent living  they have less (or no) time for crime. This is obvious. If anyone thinks it is bad for govt to intervene here, they should say what the gov sould do alternatively. Clearly, gun making in the community is historical and unless the opponents of the govt intervention are of the view that all the indigenes be wiped out, then guns must continue to be made there- and unfortunately sold to criminals who patronize the makers. IMHO, the only option is the proposed govt entry to help regulate the process and to engender legit market for the factory products, when established.

I am not just too comfortable with the location and which "boys" are we talking about here.I hope they are not those kidnappers and armed robbers terrorizing the whole south east.

The kidnappers and armed robbers terrorizing south west do so unarmed, no so? Infact they kidnap and rob with bibles abi?

Gbenga Daniel's Ogun State (laugh out very loud)

It will legally generate employment for the boys, as well as bring the gun making business in the area into the formal sector and possibly bring foreign exchange to the country. Now all the guns made in Abala will pass out to other places (and even outside the country) via formal means.

Those saying workers in the proposed factory will steal guns and give to criminals are insincere because the guns are already being given out to criminals anyways, even without a factory. Indeed, as noted by a contributor, almost everyone there is a gun factory unto themselves. I hope the feds will see this through.

N12bn transferred into Akingbola’s account before CBN’s intervention - Intercontinental Bank, - As CBN orders banks to publish unaudited reports quarterly
From Dare Adekanmbi and Odidison Omankhanlen
Friday, December 11, 2009
THE new management of Intercontinental Bank Plc has said that the transfer of funds totalling N12 billion into the account of the sacked group chief executive, Mr. Erastus Akingbola, was done before the August 14, 2009 intervention of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and not after assumption of duties by the new managers.


This was contained in a statement signed by Mr. Lawrence Ndukwe, and made available to the Nigerian Tribune.


According to the statement, a refutal became necessary following reports in the media that the transaction was done post-CBN intervention of August 14, 2009.


“Putting the records straight, the management of the bank wishes to state that the transactions on the transfer of approximately £10 million were done between March and April 2009, whilst the transfer of N10 billion was done in May, 2009. Both transactions were done before the CBN intervention and assumption of office of the new management team,” the statement explained.


The statement added further that consequent upon the denial by the current management on the transaction, four senior officials of the bank had been invited for questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).


It reassured the public that the new management had, since assumption of duties, put stringent controls in place to forestall a recurrence of such transactions.


Meanwhile, in line with its zero tolerance for any misdemeanour in the banking sector, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has rolled out more disclosure requirements to banks, warning that erring bank chief executives will be made accountable for his action.


In his opening address at the 6th Annual Corporate Financial Reporting Summit of the Nigerian Accounting Standards Board (NASB) in Lagos on Thursday, CBN Governor, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, stated that henceforth, banks in the country would now be required to publish their unaudited reports on quarterly basis, stating that it would enable the regulators and users of such financial reports to be better informed on the financial status and performance of the banks.


Other areas of disclosure that were strengthened in the new guidelines, according to the CBN governor, included risk management, corporate governance, capital structure and adequacy, executive compensation, regulatory sanctions and penalties. Others are disclosure of related companies, persons engaged as service providers and suppliers to a bank; disclosure on Board of Directors’ performance; concentration of assets liabilities and off balance sheets and disclosure on loan quality, among others.


Sanusi, who was represented by the Director, Banking Supervision, Mr. Samuel Oni, further observed that the revelations from the recent joint audit examination conducted on all the banks, in concert with the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), showed that the industry needed cleansing, stressing that disclosure deficiencies were found to have largely contributed to weak internal controls and impudent risk management practices in banks.

Thanks. However it goes beyond Anambra; Igbo women are hot generally

Ms Arunma Otteh from Abia State is the current VP of African Development Bank
Nkech Nwogu from Abia is a senator
Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is the boss of Mrs Ezekwesili; she is Delta Igbo married to an Abian

I think the poster has let stereotypes blind him/her.
Tell me one state in Nigeria that can beat these so called Anambra housewives.

Prof. Dora Akunyilu - Minister of Information.
Dr Oby Ezekwesili - Vice-President for the Africa Region at the World Bank.
Dr Ndi Onyuike-Okereke - Director-General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange
Dame Virgina Etiaba - Deputy Governor Anambra state and first female executive governor in Nigeria
Chimamanda Adichie - Presently Nigerias foremost female writer.
Senator Joy Emordi - Senator.

All these women are national figures and no other state in Nigeria comes close as far as prominent women are concerned.
You need to get your facts right at times.

@Nchara I havnt seen the pics but I can bet I will thrw up if I sight them(I'm on the phone).u think lagos state's gov should be put in charge of that jungle for 6 months and let's see what he'll do u hypocrite?talkd mad poo about him didn't ya?just from reading people's comments its like u went n took the pix in a war zone.hahahaha!sucka!now critisize the ugliness u put on here.I won't even try to go on the comp and look,I don't wanna hurt my subconscious;no nightmares 4 me,thank u!

You can at least rescue yourself by posting photos of Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun. Let's compare them to Abia (not even Enugu and Imo). Or are all Yoruba people now from Lagos? Ode buruku

How to rate the governors:

This is usually done based on different parameters, followed by a grand selection for the overall best performance

Best gov security
Best gov food production
Best gov infrastructure (roads/housing/water supply)
Best gov prompt salary payment
Best gov industrialization
Best gov job creation
Best gov provision of health
Best gov rural development
Best gov improvement in education/provision of scholarships
Best gov low or no corruption (just by perception, at least for now)
Best gov environmental/beautification

illusion2:
I admit you're almost correct on that score,the monthly allocation for Oct 2009 is here,except that the FG takes a huge chunk of the VAT before sharing .

You can get the other allocation from the FMF website here.

But like you said,there isn't any need to share it in Abuja,since its largely a 'consumption' tax. . . .all states should be encouraged to grow their economies as well.

Read my posts. I have always said of (among) the states, Lagos takes the highest of the VAT money. Of course the FGN is the big brother

Also, I take it you also agree that oil-producing states should use their oil to grow their economies, right?

What are the criteria for voting? You guys are jokers.

Illussion2,

VAT money is not shared equally. Lagos generates more VAT money and also gets the highest, among the states. There was (or perhaps still on) a lawsuit in which Lagos wants to get all of the VAT that comes from the state (just like the oil-producing states are asking for 100% resources control) but the feds are kicking seriously. I am asking a friend who works in the fed min of finance to get me one month's VAT disbursement data. As soon as that is available, I will post it here. I had one before but lost it when my NL-dedicated laptop crashed due to NL's virus infection

I agree that Lagos does not get back the equivalent of the VAT money it generates, but so do the oil-producing states with respect to oil from their lands.

These are not pictures of govt at work per se. They are general pictures of Abia (old and new) that I can find on the net and they have nothing to do with govt. I am already on xmas holidays; so got some time to play around.

Some old photos. Dont let the War Museum building photo decieve you; the inside is fascinating with bunkers and relics of Biafra war munitions

If i have access to the pix, i would post them in a hurry, cos this is not about throwing darts at a state and make another look good, for me and to me, it is about showing the a$$ of those a$$holes rulling the states . . . .common . . . .at least some silly $hitters was built in Oyo state.

If you can't find photos of those States on the net, means they are non-starters. Look harder.
