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.

tolajay: 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. 1 Like |

Dasuks: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 |
Politics / Re: Nigeria 5 Best Governors Since The 4th Republic (1999-till Date) by niceone3(m): 6:51pm On May 11, 2017 |
Dasuks: 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. 2 Likes |

mandax: 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. 2 Likes |

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 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. 3 Likes |

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. source http://thenationonlineng.net/imo-students-top-jamb-application-list-2017/ |

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. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3798233_cceccibbjunction2zps1a69350e_jpeg3ac6f5b48d47be83c095bc430b4a45da www.nairaland.com/attachments/3798255_akwaibomworldclasshospital1_jpeg8c3c4a545b81a365f42a0d00305a5590 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. www.nairaland.com/attachments/1921781_kwan109_jpeg6316c9dc6fefbecd129ffc5ea92e632e www.nairaland.com/attachments/2297573_ap18_jpegafc65ee11bfc8e8825a06a81058ecfaf 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. www.nairaland.com/attachments/2081400_security1_jpeg893e1c2fdba7d7f03b6b89c603908725 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3257332_4_jpgd0096ec6c83575373e3a21d129ff8fef In the second place is Donald Duke (Governor of Cross Rivers state 1999-2007) Before the legendary governor Donald Duke assumed office as governor in cross Rivers State, cross Rivers and calabar was relatively an average state and average state capital respectively. he came in with a poise to showcase the state to the world through tourism and infrastructural development. his outstanding tenacity and unstinting energy towards achieving those vision even with little resources culminated into what we hear and know about cross Rivers and Calabar today as the number one tourist destination in Nigeria. his legacies includes but not limited to invigoration of Ubudu Cattle Ranch Resorts where Duke created the idea of the Obudu Ranch International Mountain Race and the race grew to become one of the most lucrative mountain running competitions in the world under his stewardship. it has the largest total prize money available of any mountain race and is known as "the world's richest mountain race". He initiated the condtruction of Tinapa business resort reckoned as the biggest business resort in Africa. The resort has about 80,000 square metres (860,000 sq ft) of lettable space for retail and wholesale made up of four emporiums of 10,000 square metres (110,000 sq ft) each and smaller shops, warehouses, etc.He created Calabar Carnival ' Africa's Biggest Street Party' in 2004. the carnival. they carnival creates employment annually and attracts tens of thousands of tourist in and outside Nigeria to the state. Duke as a governor also made strides in environment by building structures and employing policies that made the state the cleanest in Nigeria [img]http://1.bp..com/-pDbiDKVphKE/VQNVvBVoYQI/AAAAAAAAJF8/MK1a8ZnntFo/s1600/Snaky%2Broad.jpg[/img] In the first place is Chibuike Amaechi (Governor of Rivers state 2007-2015) Honerable Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi is just a governor in his own class. his vision is legendary and can be best be describe as a leader of 'numerics with quality' his famous 60/60/60 project(health), 500/24(Education), 13,000 teachers (Employment), etc. Quantifiable projects some would say. there is no single governor in Nigeria that have touch all the sectors of the economy as much as the former Rivers governor.He did wonders in Education, Health, physical infrastructure, Job creation and human capital development, Agriculture, Sports, power, etc not only did he touched all these sectors but he did that with outstanding quality. In Education he built from the scratch the best public schools in Nigeria numbering hundreds and scattered in all nook and cranny of the state. the schools are equipped with ict facilities, library, sick bay, sports facilities like football pitch, basket ball court, volleyball court, etc. the schools are absolutely free with free school uniforms and books. No wonder the state attracted the UN book capital. In health he built over a hundred primary and secondary health centers well equipped and are absolute free for all. He subsequently employed and trained over 700 doctors to man the health centers. in human empowerment and job creation, he sponsored over two thousand youth for overseas scholarship and employed over 13,000 youths as teachers. In physical infrastructure he elevated the state from a state that barely has less than two carriage Roads to one with tens of dual carriage roads with street lights, sub drainage system and pedestrian walk way. constructed several bridges and interchange. In sports he built a sport village that will pass for international Olympic games with 40,000 stadium capacity, two standard volley, basketball court, two Olympic size swimming pool, etc. In power he added over 300mW of power to the national grid. In agriculture he employed thousands through Songhai farm initiative, Banana plantation, Buguma fish farm reputed as the largest fish farm in Nigeria, etc. other legacies include the greater Ph, first phase of monorail project, rainbow town and other housing projects. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3797406_3492941ama101jpege1faa1a15a3d68752f2d50ea8bd8811e_jpegb9d239b3628ade087f92ec67d1e3151a www.nairaland.com/attachments/2081319_sch4_jpeg1b72f37b9aa3d06819e5a1e2dc6d0f57 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3795636_113142836_jpeg994811eed529afe6d48d91425ad47d62 12 Likes 4 Shares |
