Duke is 1 cs Wat he built is Wat dis clowns called Imoke and Ayade are trying hard 2 destroy but can't

Amaechi dat couldn't complete a monorail u had dey brain 2 give him number 1 spot, then wouldn't be surprised if you give him best minister from 1999 till date

Number 2 is Akpabio he was governor 2007 till 2015 and did good roads but he is truly felt in his own constituency the Ananng speaking people cs he took all state and 90% federal presence there

So in my opinion Donald Duke and Godswill Akpabio deserve dey spots but dey made politics a dirty one and if theses 2 where governors during OBJ time apart from Duke he could have achieved his 3rd term agenda
So what are u insinuating

I am ecstatically delighted and disproportionately flabbergasted with enormous gratification and appreciation for the dispensation of such a tendering and mesmerizing information in which the prestidigitation of the concurrent and subsequent matter is thoroughly demonstrated through the innuances alluding to literal and metaphorical context. It is highly imperative to note that, such is the significance of the aforementioned, distortion in any shape or form will result in catastrophic ramifications to which will be the outcome of epic proportions. Thanks for your perusal .

I hope he emerges the first contemporary Nigerian artiste to win the Grammy's. That would be a massive achievement.

Don't think any Nigerian won it before I may be wrong though.

I think he's also the first contemporary naija artist to be nominated in this category

I'm not here to question OP's "option" on this list.

But to say these are the best after 'extensive research' is disturbing.

Amongst other yardsticks, what research methodology did you deploy?

You just can't make such vague statement. You need to compare the resources at hand, the money dispensed and the achieved results and the affected livelihoods over time of all states, then narrow down until you arrive at a conclusion.

For instance, a Gombe state Governor's performance might outshine that of a Lagos Governor. How? Compare the resources in Lagos state (IGR, Allocation...) to that of Gombe. Now, look at the proportion of projects executed ( cost and social value) in relation to the available resources. Then look at the hos such projects benefit the citizenry...A case in view is Lagos state's current Mega City plan that's killing almost everyone.

The endpoint of governance or government project should be for citizens wellbeing...This has been the missing edge in Nigeria's governance and political practice.


yeah very valid point you made their especially the ish about comparing the rich state and the not so rich state. though the upshot of good governance is how well you manage the little you are given. note that Cross Rivers is not a rich state but Donald Duke defied all odds to write cross Rivers State in the world map. good governance is all about thinking outside the box, defying conventions and norms not necessarily about the bucks.

Just as I agree with you that rich state will always have the edge over not so rich states you will also agree with me that rich states like Rivers and Lagos also come with a price such as congested cities which implies that you have to pay heavily in form of compensation in order to construct roads. you have to pay through your nose to maintain and service public health facilities as the population of such rich state are usually very high, for the same reason the government of such states have to spend more to maintain social amenities in the state which is usually overburdened by the huge population.

Dasuks:


you're right on the money. Thanks for reading. The reason for the perceived repetitions is due to the fact that just stating the problems without the processes they disrupt is easily rubbished. But yeah you get my point. The fabrication thing I was referring to was to emphasize the extent of the sickness( ie even fabrication-linkage growth- for the one sector that should be its mainstay is more profitable outside it, at least to some investors), for sure other fabric/processing activity has been going on in Naija for decades, eg Kano of th late 70s and early 80s or Aiyetoro utopia of the early 20th century ( where they built trawlers and other ocean going vessels).
I carry the rivers matter on my head cos Im from there. Just moved back after a long stint away and it is just choking to see the balo ney that goes on by the day AND Nobody seems to be noticing. Or what ?!?! We have thugs and retards as governors regardless of the partisan divide.
There is a difference when you elect accomplished professional ppl( lawyers, bankers, architects etc like fashola, obaseki, tinubu udom emmanuel, duke) that actually have an understanding of perspective. Perspective and context to be precise. And then there's when u elect local university cultists-cum-assistants to mischevious older politicians-cum-heavyweight politicians. A huge qualitative difference. Complete nonsense !!
thanks for the insightful reply. As we both have pointed out that the bane of Niger Region is youth restiveness and other social vices like cultism, thuggery, etc and all these we all know are recipe for insecurity. the leaders down their has exploit this to their advantage especially during election period.

Rivers youths just like other youths in the ND region believe so much in oil wealth. most believe that they don't have to struggle much in life because of the resources in their land. even their elders and some of their leaders imbibe that consciousness in their minds that they don't even need to over labour themselves whilst sitting on multi billion petrodollars resources. the elders even back most of these youths to go after companies in their community to demand for huge sums for setting up industry in their fathers land. this act scares potential investors and even tend to close down the existing industries. that is why most company like operating from neighboring states where there asset will be secured hence you see so many oil allied industry operating from Lagos.

this 'our land our oil; syndrome you know has been institutionalized and has been going on for decades. even if you bring in a frank Roservet to rule the state he may not be able to turn around that state. what the state need is institutions like a vibrant education system that can absorb and re orientate those youths especially the up coming younger generation. give the toddlers qualitative education so that they can make good and independent minded youths tomorrow. this should be the long term goal of any leader of that state.

Engaging the youths and empowering them through skills acquisitions, job creation, scholarships, etc just like the amnesty program is also a very reliable short term measure to curb youths restiveness.

Though the first approach takes time to manifest its effectiveness it is fundamental. the second makes almost immediately impact but not a definite solution in the long run as can be seen in the ongoing amnesty program. All these approaches if well done and sustain would in the 'long run' bring the required development and restores investors confident in the state. In the 'long run' here means it will definitely take time up to 10 to 15yrs or more. it is not really easy to build up that which have shattered.

In all this, I think you should cut Amaechi the former governor of the state some slake for his visionary investment in Education and youth empowerment/job creation initiatives as well as what he did in area of security. Rivers unlike other state is peculiar and if you want to succeed as a leader in that state you have to envision your governance according to the peculiarity of the state.

once again thanks for your time smiley

Okay let's use a state like rivers and compare to Lagos.

They both have large GDPs independent of administrative /govt action. Lag 60-90 billion dollars (depending on source quoted) rivers 19-35 billion (depending on source as well ).
Rivers is more dominant on the primary sector end while Lagos takes that role with respect to secondary and tertiary. Now why ?
There's nothing physically wrong with pH but qjy hasn't it blossomed into the service driven modern economy that Lagos is gradually becoming ?
Issue #1: security
Despite holding the largest per household /per capita spending rivers still suffers from a gebral disinclination on the part of corporates to fully commit to doing business in the area. A relatively peaceful garden city has since odili's time seen political imperatives and differences put over economic growth. Linkages to the oil and gas industry have therefore been stifled. Entertainment , hotel accommodation , tourism and retal are several examples. Thing is the behavior at the top reflects on the population. The segments that would otherwise have remained mute under fear of the state's nighty hand are now incentivized by its buccaneering character. They will exist anywhere , they key is that they are not given state endorsement. When this happens the market networks,innovation and output growth that would have chases such a juicy market deflect. Preferring to rely on transport capital from elsewhere.
Before I continue I would like to note that such a role of transport capital would mean that merchant capital (arbitrage) would never morph to industrial capital (production)

You might now say Dasuks stfu. So what if the transition isn't made.

Now onto another point. Cities and development. Cities are where national economies are formed. Rural areas pretty much serve an attendant role to city needs. Cities normally foster innovation that springs there as a result of human capital concentration. Goods and their components are import replaced/substituted. Lagos nnewi Onitsha and aba all lead a place like rivers in this cycle. The governors have not properly engaged industry. Forget what's in the ground. I'm from an oil producing community In OBALGA and I know to God that it has not evolved our human capital. Even the very oil and gas has a lot of its fabrication activity being Done in Lagos and elsewhere. A trend that started about ten years ago as corporate focus shifted from the delta. Due to the regions myriad issues.

Now even infrastructure that is much touted. Power transport and health infrastructure are generally bad in naija. I've lived elsewhere and I mean I wouldn't lie. So i will not brag that Lagos or wherever is doing stellar although I will point that Lagos is in fact doing better than rivers. Because focus is more toward clogging gaps that affect commerce than ribbon cutting. In general rivers governors are living in paradises. Numbed by the rentier funds that keep their administration s afloat. The reality on ground is that they have performed below par.

Then final the services/tertiary sector. Consumer driven growth has led to the success of this sector but u see how the development of the segment has seen Ph unusually inactive/passive. The consumer expenditure in highest on a per capita basis but as earlier discussed security,official and unofficial bottlenecks generally paint a discouraging picture.
We keep on launching random develont schemes. Nobody is going to Come here to invest till things change. EKO Atlantic, Casablanca financial and the IT one in Kenya are templates I would have liked to see followed in greater PH. Instead it was a contract sharing.bonanza. no discipline or vision.

Out.of gas. But if u need more. Will do so later. Phone use at work :p is not my thing.

wow! thanks for your time.
let me try to summarize
from your first paragraph you try to compare Rivers and Lagos in terms of GDP and economic diversity citing security as a stumbling block for Rivers

from your second paragraph you also pointed out that River despite having better GDP/Capital do not translate to investment in order to grow other sectors of the already oil-mono economy due to insecurity and the disposition/character of the person at the center (governor)

from the third you said Rivers government has not really develop human capacity that is why most companies in Rivers look to Lagos for most of their fabrication a trend you said started some ten years ago. PH cannot compete with cities like Aba, onitcha, Lagos, etc because of same.

what I can descend from what you are saying in the fourth is that Rivers governors Have performed below par in infrastructure that for instance, lagos focuses on developing commerce than commissioning projects.

your last paragraph is similar to the first ie consumer investing, security issues in addition to random government project.

please is the summary in order?

well from your write up, the recurring decimal in all what you said is the security and other issues which is peculiar to Rivers. the issue of cultism, militancy, communal clashes, thuggery, election violence, etc. these are issues as you pointed out scare the hell out of prospective investors from the state.The offshoot of all the points you made are all caused by these issues. unfortunately, due to political reasons the governors in that state may not be able to fight insecurity without the full support of the center. you may recall how Niger Delta region was besieged by militancy during Obasanjo era. even with the full force of the federal might he could not win the war. A lot of expertrate flew the region. a lot of companies both indigenous and foreign closed down. It even took dialog and pleading for the Yaradua government to placate the youth of that region.
so you can see that the problem of that region of the country is very peculiar and as a governor you really have to deal with the fact that your state is a high risk state for investor. the best you can do is to fight insecurity while building infrastructure to restore investors confidence in your region and that takes time my dear friend.

Thank you. Yoy judge leaders by macroeconomic growth indicators. Only in Nigeria where ppl dont know the difference between their rights and gifts can Amaechi be number one. Fashola is the best governor of any sub autonomous govt entity in the west Africa subregion so far. Amaechi was good but directionless (mono rail is one example). In fact Niger Delta states need their own category of 'shame' full governors.

Fashola. Duke. Tinubu. Akpabio. That's it ! I like what the.Ebonyi governor is doing with agribusiness. So yeah him too. Others just stuffed their pocket.

PS. I am a rivers APC supporter. I do not think highly of wike either. So amaechi followers should not quote me. I am just using my head. Not sentiment.

You incredible..,


Google can guide you: since 2013, you can't see the names Rochas Okorocha, or Imo state
government and Orlu on the same sentence or page, regarding any meaningful development project.



Entertain yourself with inanities, at the same time continue to mislead your principal, Gov. Okorocha.

Okorocha govt, by 2013, dualized the two kilometer Ihioma road with Banana juntion roundabout which you described above, plus three other very short streets in Orlu, put lamp poles that stopped showing light a few months after.

The roads were purposely to connect his university in his hometown through Orlu to Owerri road which he is also dualizing for the university.

If you move into the dillapidated internal roads in Orlu urban, and you have conscience, you shall spit on Imo state government; perhaps move to Owerri and ask Rochas Okorocha why he has the courage to abandone these Orlu roads this level, but builds many Inland roads and flyovers and 8 lanes streets in Owerri.

Even the urban roads which the previous governments must have spent billions of Naira to build in Orlu are allowed to wash away, no maintenance, under Okorocha's government.

wow! I don't really understand you . from your tone you sound really bitter maybe you know pretty much better than I do about governance in Imo state. I am just telling the little I know about the state since I don't reside their I only come in during festive periods and am just saying things as I see them. their have been little change from early nineties when I normally travel with my parents to my village even up till late 2000. but the story has changed especially in the last six years. would you expect me to lie about the changes? That junction you describe their I don't think I know it. the junction and roundabout I described in my post is in remote Akokwa.
I am not holding any brief for Rochase or any other leader because we elect them to to render solutions to problems but it doesn't however mean that you won't appreciate the little they have done after all most do nothing. In my own rural community I can see few roads, new school, health center, other flashes of government presence things I haven't felt before and am just saying it the way I saw it.

Wow! Abagworo you are doing a very great job here. so enjoying your contribution in every thread in NL especially this one. I actually become Okorocha fan after that federal road he rebuilt from Orlu to Ideato. that huge scaring landslide that almost cut out that road must be very expensive to work on. I really commend him for that road because it is a major trunk road for most people (me inclusive) traveling to the northern part of the state as well as anambra via Uga. I also commend him for the wonders he did in Orlu which before now is just like a rural town. saw the dual carriage Roads, stainless grin street light and other few infrastructural development in Orlu.
the last time I traveled I was surprise to see ongoing round about construction with cross roads been paved to be constructed. in fact that junction is wearing a new look as business activities and liveliness is springing up with the speed of light in and within the junction. I just hope he keep up with the pace.

Education / Imo Students Top JAMB Application List In 2017 by niceone3(m): 10:02am On May 10, 2017
For the second year running, Imo topped the number of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) applications with 101, 868 in 2017, JAMB Registrar, Is-haq Oloyede has disclosed.

The registrar said this during a briefing with reporters on Tuesday in Abuja ahead of the unified tertiary matriculation examination (UTME) billed to start on Saturday in 642 computer based test (CBT) centres across the country.

According to him, Imo, Osun, and Oyo topped the list of those with the highest number of JAMB applications in 2017, following the applications of statistics by the state of origin.

Oloyede said Osun recorded the second highest with 88, 653 applications while Oyo recorded 87,811 applications.

The JAMB registrar said that Benue (68, 916), Kogi (70, 150) and Kano (70, 276) recorded the lowest applications.

He added that the agency registered 1.7 million candidates an increase of 464,287 candidates from last year’s 1.2 million candidates registered for the 2016 UTME,

Oloyede said: “As we set for the 2017 exercise, we have expanded on almost all the frontiers of the 2017 examinations. You may recall that last year, the examination was conducted in 524 centres. The 2017 UTME will hold simultaneously in 642 examination centres in Nigeria.

“A total number of one million, seven hundred and thirty-six thousand, five hundred and seventy-one (1,736, 571) candidates have registered for the 2017 UTME.

“In the last UTME conducted in 2016, a total of one million, two hundred and seventy-two thousand, two hundred and eighty-four (1,272,284) candidates registered for the 2015 UTME.

“The figure for the 2017 UTME shows an increase of four hundred and sixty-four thousand, two hundred and eighty-seven (464,287) applicants when compared with last year’s figure of one million, two hundred and seventy-two thousand, two hundred and eighty-four (1,272,284).

He said JAMB was more prepared to conduct a successful UTME after learning all the lessons from the recent past.

The JAMB registrar added that the agency has made provisions for 321 visually impaired candidates to take write examination.

“A total of 321 visually impaired candidates registered for this year’s examination and adequate arrangements have been provided to ensure that they partake in the examination.
“It is the board’s desire to ensure that no candidate is deprived of taking its examination. The examination will be conducted using JAMB’s equal opportunity group, a group of experts in education, who have graciously assisted in the assessment exercise.

“We have created 691,000 registration points instead of the previous less than 1000. This means that we have developed a system that would allow 691000 candidates to register in 10 minutes with our free access code granted to 100 points of registration at each centre even if our plan was to register 50,000 candidates per day.

“We have started to install CCTV cameras at our test centres so that from the situation room, we can monitor what is going on across the country,” he said.

Oloyede also said the organisation had successfully prosecuted two Nigerians who forged the board’s results and came for confirmation.

“It is certainly not going to be business as usual in the conduct of the board’s examination and other processes. In line with this resolution, the board had secured through diligent prosecution, the conviction of two Nigerians who forged the board’s results and came around for confirmation.

“At the moment, we have lodged complaints against a number of CBT centre owners for one infraction or the other and a number of them were arrested, cautioned, while others are to be prosecuted so as to serve as a deterrent to others,” he added.

presenting to you from extensive research, The five best governors that has ever ruled Nigerian states from 1999 till date.

In the fifth place is Godswill Akpabio (Governor of Akwa Ibom 1999-2015)
[img]http://1.bp..com/-bpbZQvbZJyo/VX8LRNEI0rI/AAAAAAAAD-s/QUqWXXQTle8/s1600/Governor-Godswill-Akpabio.of-Akwa-Ibom-State.jpg[/img]
His infrastructural development in Akwa Ibom during his rein as a governor is second to none. he literally created new cities out of relatively rural town of Uyo Eket, etc. His legacies includes construction of several bridges, standard dual carriage road, airport, 30,000 capacity stadium, among others.

In the fourth place is Engr Rabiu Kwankwaso (Governor of Kano state 2007-2015)

Engr Rabiu Kwankwaso demystified the art of governance in Kano state by setting a standard that will be too tough for any of his successors to thread. his achievement cuts across infrastructural development, Education and human capital development. during his time as a governor he established two state own Universities, sponsored over two thousands indegens on oversea scholarship, established over forty technical schools among others. however, engr Rabiu is best known for his infrastructural development legacies which includes several interchange roads, overhead bridges, etc.

In the third place is Babatunde Fashola (Governor of Lagos state 2007-2015)

Babatunde Fashola is one of the most Astute and intelligent governors Nigeria had ever had. his charismatic disposition and organizational acumen came to bear when he started fine-tuning the vision of his predecessor to a daydream-reality. he gave lagos a face-lift, fortified the security apparatus of the state, changed the transportation terrain of the state by the completion and commissioning of the bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as well as the sand filling/reclamation of land from Atlantic Ocean and subsequent erection of structures for the latest bride-Eko Atlantis city. constructed several roads and bridges including an ongoing light rail project.
