Why must yoruba continue in this contraption called Nigeria when the abinger of greatness can be seen all around us. To hell with obas who are in cohorts with fulani herdsmen because they have vested interest in killer cattle herding. The truth is yorubas don't need fulani cattle. We can import cheaper cattle produce fodder using modern methods to produce them in large numbers and process them like we see and consume for themselves and also export to friendly nations. Yorubas must begin to issue an absolute leave of our lands for us to all non yorubas as they can be dangers if war breaks out. every yoruba state must begin to set up a military arm and appoints baloguns to lead at the state level. Thats my take on how to achieve Yoruba nation without war. To have peace my people, prepare very well for war.
AlexReports: *WHY ANAMBRA ECONOMY WILL SURPASS LAGOS -- MELIE ONYEJEPU*
*Sir Melie Onyejepu is a former Special Adviser to the Anambra State Governor on Budget, Monitoring and Implementation. He is also the General Manager, Bureau for Public Procurement, Anambra State*
In this interview, he talks about the future of Anambra State, and sundry issues *You are Special Adviser to Anambra State governor on Budget, Monitoring and Implementation, and also the General Manager, Public Procurement; what exactly does your job entail?*
In the budget area, my job entails monitoring budget implementation. We also make sure that the state derives value for whatever expense and advice the governor, especially where we feel that the expenses do not match the budgetary provision. This is when it is at variance with what it should be or where the project is not aligning with the provisions of the budget and the focus of the government.
On the procurement side, we ensure the pricing of projects are in line with acceptable norm, that they are not overpriced, and the state derives value from those implemented.
*There is controversy about so many states borrowing carelessly, how has your work impacted Anambra State?*
In 2015, because of our activities in the area of budget, Anambra came first in the entire South East and second in the country on the implementation of International Public Accounting System. What that means is that Anambra keyed into transparency initiative and that all our accounting and budgeting systems have been patterned to meet international standard. It also means we have adopted the same standard used in the United States and UK. Therefore, if we are using the system by countries that are standard yardsticks for measuring transparency and accountability, that will tell you the type of system we have put in place.
Secondly, in the procurement circle, we are implementing the law guiding public procurement to the letter. It requires the establishment of a bureau and we have done that and are also putting into place electronic means of procurement, which will help eliminate issues of corruption and fraud. What that does is that, in the comfort of your room, you can access the contracts we have awarded, who we awarded them to, the scope and cost. With this e-procurement platform, you can, as a citizen, cross-check what we are doing.
I can hold my head high and say that I am working with this government. One great thing about this administration is that this is the first time the governor of the state has a clearly stated blueprint, mission and vision.
*Is the blueprint part of Vision 2070?*
The essence of Vision 2070 is to expand this blueprint, incorporate new things and adjust to the dictates of the dynamics of a global economy.
*The younger generation is clamoring for an opportunity in the nation’s political leadership positions; as a relatively young person, what is your take?*
I believe that the older generation have done their bit. They have ruled us from independence till this moment and, like I said earlier, the running of government is changing and the nature of economies are going to change too. Most developed countries are moving into things like e-governance and it is not for the old generation.
*Where do you see Anambra State in the next 20 years?*
I see the economy of Anambra growing bigger than that of Lagos. This will be made possible by the coming of Onitsha River Port and the cargo airport. With these on ground, we expect massive economic activities. Another thing that will grow the economy is gas. There is a prediction that oil and gas will fizzle out soon. To me, it won’t be so in most of the third world countries. However, even if oil becomes less relevant, gas will still be a major resource in the economy Igbariam in Anambra State is sitting on trillions of metric tons of gas reserve that can feed the whole of West Africa, and Ibeto petrochemical is already building a gas handling plant. We are also expanding agricultural activities. At the inception of Governor Willie Obiano’s administration, we met 80,000 metric tons of rice production in this state and in less than four years, we have been able to move it to 338,000 metric tons with a projection that, by the end of the year, we will start getting about 480,000 to 500,000 metric tons. It shows you the speed at which we are moving. Still in agriculture, we have boosted cassava production and by the time we adopt full mechanization, we will be one of the biggest exporters of cassava and rice in this part of the world. Another area Anambra is endowed is in that of industries. Nnewi people have a knack for manufacturing products like Taiwan. There was a time Nnewi was the Taiwan of Nigeria but due to power issues, some of those industries closed shop. But that does not mean we cannot repeat that process today. We can use gas to develop an independent power plant that can power factories in Nnewi and Onitsha, so our industrialists can go back to what they know best. The state is also endowed with the knowledge of trade and commerce and what we need to do is provide enabling environment for our businessmen and women, and you will see them excel. I see an Anambra State where the size of the economy will move from its current GDP of about N4.8 trillion to about N20 trillion. *As a financial expert, what necessary economic steps should Nigeria take to avoid a possible crash of the economy considering the level of inflationary trends and unemployment in the country?*
Let me just mention one or two. Once you are able to fix power, every other thing falls in place. Secondly, is agriculture, which is the highest employer of labour. Fixing power, as long as I am concerned, is simple. We have gas deposits all over the place. Use that to generate power. Once this is in place, every other thing falls into place. Nigerians are very hardworking people, so just lay the foundation for them and you will see them grow. *How prepared are you for higher leadership positions?*
Leadership is nothing more than your ability to lead by example, and then being able to use others to achieve your goal by ensuring that you delegate assignments, monitor it and have people buy into whatever you want to achieve. My work in the bank positioned me for that. In the private sector, you are given a target and you can’t just achieve your target without the support of other people, and if you don’t treat those people well, you can never achieve your target since you can’t be everywhere at the same time. For you to do this, you must treat the people working with you well, lead by example and understand their feelings at any given time. So for me, leadership is about leading by example.
*Power rotation will be a major issue in the coming Anambra governorship election; what is your view especially with regards to the argument that it encourages mediocrity?* The good thing about zoning is that it gives everybody a sense of belonging and opportunity to contribute their best. However, that does not mean that anybody can be presented because of zoning. I am not in support of that.
Wolgrace: MEANWHILE, Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa, has said that the aftermath of the recent #EndSARS protests across the country devastated the economy of Lagos State.
Obasa, who spoke during the presentation of the 2021 Appropriation Bill by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Assembly, yesterday, said the devastating effects of the destructions that followed the protests in the state were beyond imagination.
According to him, “the anarchy, burning and looting of businesses have hit the economy with a blow beneath the belt.
LOOK AT THE FOOLISH TALK ABOVE AS IF THEY CARE IN THE FIRST PLACE. But corruption never leads to economic downfall?
-Poverty is not joblessness. It is a political ideology, it is the setting of boundary between members of the public and members of the government. They inject pain into the system. Jobs became useless and workers became beggars. All for one reason i.e to take the lead and Keep people as slaves and the slaves became monsters. The same monsters serve as political tools for electoral malpractice and violence.
Do you expect monsters to act or look like angels?
-Governments are merchants of hunger and poverty to keep the population submissive. Poverty programmed system by the corrupt politicians makes the populace easier to control.
When the monsters they created lynches on them due to the unbearable painful systematic circumstances, they manipulate the gullibles in making themselves as saviours and gods who care for the masses.
We need transparency and accountability of toll takings. The toll must be there and be named 'ENDSARS TOLL PLAZA IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD YOUTH'.
Rubbish Northerners who carry religion that will attract their collective anahilation to them. They will drink their own blood and eat their own flesh when the time of their devotion to death comes. The War on Nigeria will be forth on northern theater it shall happen in due time. No escape for children of attrocities.
lymelyte: tbh,I'm not really surprised why the leaders of nigeria can do any thing and go away with it..Some youth have redefine and defy the rules and understanding of stupidity and senselessness if the fans truly bought this car.. I would like laycon fans to tell me what the young man has done to deserve this gifts? Don't come and say, he is blessed or grace fell on him because God has blessed everyone.. There are alot of first class graduate, prospective entrepreneurs and great thinkers clamoring for investors,sourcing for funds but no, Nigeria will close thier eyes shut to these brilliant minds..what a shame. 2023 will come again and these youth will sell thier future for 2 to 5k.
Tell them my brother, this is why we need to do things differently when it comes to yoruba nation.
The Ife-Modakeke killings had the same effect on many northerners that went for NYSC in the SW in the 90s and early 2000's. It was a terrible and harrowing experience to see Yoruba brothers killing and maiming themselves in the most senseless, backward, animalistic and bloody manner.
After the Ife Modakeke killings subsided, Nigerians thought they had seen the worst of man's backwardness inhumanity to his own brothers until the Otokoto crisis began in the South West when innocent Nigerians were hunted, slaughtered, dismembered, had their organs and bowels ripped out and sold. It was a nightmare especially for Northern NYSC members to whom subhuman ritual killings were a strange occurrence.
To this day, the aftermath and legacy of Otokoto remains all over the region in the guise of skull mining and yahoo plus. The Yoruba nation must rise up to put an end to this skull mining ritualistic behaviour that is fast gaining grounds among their new generation and put a human face to your fatherland again.
Unlike you however, I know it cannot be the whole of the Yoruba people that are engaged in skull mining rituals, bloody intra-Ethnic clashes and other backward, animalistic, satanic behaviour so I will not be foolish to generalize and rain insults on the whole tribe.
Who is this tuwo eating bastard?....Im' not fooled one of them Igbos who will know their fate soon. Keep forming landlord in other people's space by the time the chips are down you will know yorubas respect no one when they are angry. fool yourself saying they are cowards......but don't run away when the time comes, as you think you are brave. Even hausa fulani knows better to be cautious with yoruba matter.
These are the things we now know that these northern vagabonds do with our money. What about thousands of attrocities that we don't know that are carried out by children of attrocity in the north.........and you from the south keep deluding yourself about one Nigeria. These people until they are devoted to death which will be sanctioned by the supreme authorities of the world they will never ever stop their attrocities. If you like don't believe, especially those of you in their line of religion of violence, bloodbath and death. The end will justify the means.
Yoruba people must watch Dangote very well. He like his fulani cohorts are up to a game to destroy our land and enslave our people by first murdering able bodied men among us and begin their war of attrition. I have been saying this since 1992 when I went to the north for the first time and was welcome with zongon kattaf killings. That was during my National service and I have vowed never to have anything thing to do with this subhuman people in my life and I don't see myself living in the same space with these animals. Yoruba nation must come to put human face to our father land again.
Don't let us keep decieving ourselves this Nigeria is not a country. South must begin to read out the riot act to theses northern criminals and bunch of demonic vagabonds. They could find the sponsors of peaceful protests but could not find the sponsors of Boko haram killers of innocent citizens. This is the cavit, the southerners are dying for nothing and yet they fearing the unknown. I think it is time to fight back as the southerners are pushed to the walls.

The man who called Nigeria a shit hole country was right afterall, although he's leaving the white house soon willy nilly (God Almighty cannot be mocked). A dog really have more value in western world than a human life in Nigeria. Why so much gross criminality among leaders and people in recent times 2 Timothy 3:1-5. The purported religious nation (Nigeria) preach more violence and lack of love than the quaran and Bible they profess to believe in. Tell me then what is the essence of religion if the result is these. Imams, pastors, and religions have all failed and have wallowed in apostacy for a long time, decieving the people but they cannot decieve God fearing people. The exception to all these are Jehovahs withnesses who are the real preacher of righteousness Mat 28: 19-20 and have been acting in love. Better do your self a favour stay away from these apostacy so that you do not share in their Judgement Rev.18:4.

peppermint7: If person success de vex you. You be winch
Which success money and material things are no success to me. If the greatest human Jesus don't have this but still great till ethernity. Then think again. What jealousy, aren't you bereft of wisdom and beclouded by mondane things of the the world that comes and go. Blind people like you have not asked themselves where is Efe that was celibrated yesterday? Isn't he worse off than he started.... Uti Nwachukwu and the rest let them tell you one story or the other. You are still a kindergarten pupil on the experience of life. Read your Bible daily and learn about real life not illuminati things of money and materialism.

This senseless boy what everyone to go and troup into other people space only to be humiliated later by another character like trump. What sort of brainless youth we have in Nigeria.
This is absolute satanic bondage. This is why people are blinded during Noah's days until the gate of the ship was locked. It's such a shame at this time when evil locks all over Nigeria food is not produced because fulanis cows are eating people's farm produce. Evil people locks in the forest causing mayhem everyday. This mundane use of money is what the youth think is next on their agenda. Wetin go wake una up will soon come.
Righteousness89: This unnecessary Fight with our Law enforcement Personnels is not a Good one at all!
We are breeding an attitude that may Spell doom for the People and the Society!
If they should completely leave the road and offices due to their lives being threatened, it's an Invitation to Criminals, Hoodlums and Full blown Lawlessness
The Law Enforcement officers Should be allowed to do their work!
The Law Enforcement Officers Should also not engage in any form of Nefarious activity!
This is the plan of lawless ones in the society. No wonder they burn police station, courts and other key points to pave way for their evil doing and menace.
Yorubas must follow suit to rid our father land of apostasy and religion from hell. No other message could be louder. Please don't kill anyone, only the tool of satan took of hell must be burnt. Away with religion of deprivation, dehumanization, death, poverty religion of starvation and hunger, religion of illiteracy, religion of forgetfulness and comportion.........religion of lack of peace.
If not for the rubbish president, the belligerent Chinese trouble maker must be taught a lesson or two in diplomacy. They infected the world and have the effrontery to discriminate the people they infected. They must pray Thrump don't come back as they are toast if that is the case. Nation of criminals and wicked leaders.
tollyboy5: Taking out one of the problem is not a step backward
You don't understand, the main issue is Fake Buhari which is the big fish. Ali Macauli is a small fry comparatively. By the way why are you so latched on to this. Is it a coup plot to put an igbo proxy in Amuwo. The efulefu Igbo governors are frustrating Biafra agitation and wike the wicked is killing yall but you don't use that as your pillow. All you people want to do is meddle in Yoruba affairs in Yoruba land until you get another igbo must leave and with more severe consequences. Continue your evil plot and think no one sees you. Silence must not be miscontued as stupidity for your information.
post=95658051: Field officers have commenced a door-to-door campaign to gather enough signatures to officially commence the recall of Mojisola Alli-Macaulay from the Lagos House of Assembly.
Over 50% of registered voters in Amuwo Odofin Constituency I must sign the recall register.
Recall that the Lawmakers recently refered to Nigerian youths as 'high on hard drugs.'
Why is everyone going crazy in Nigeria. Is this woman the priority or the impostor in Aso rock that must be removed sharperly. It seems Nigerians are under a very very evil spell. Put you prayers where it rightfully belongs Moji Ali-Macauli is not the main problem in Nigeria. She's just one of the problems.
How can you Justify beheading in the name of Islam, crime on humanity in the name of Islam, women and children abuse in the name of Islam, the victim becoming the oppressed (in the case of France, in face of retribution on the Islamic villains).......the list is endless worldwide. Islam is an heresy an apostacy that want to undo Christ's (anti-Christ) great achievement for mankind in GOD GIVEN Salvation through Christ who died for us. Like their father satan the devil they will fail dismally. All you open minded mortals stay away from Islam and its people because they don't come in peace and they don't respect your rights.
NewDelhi: A korofo was seen beating up a woman for indecent dressing in ibadan. Some of them further went ahead to barb the hair of an innocent man and still went ahead to ask him for barbing money.
Towards the end of the video , you can hear the soldier say this is #EndSars style. This shouldn't be happening after the unrest that hit the country in the last few weeks.
This man said Soldier used scissor to cut his hair...
These nonsense must stop in Yoruba space forth with. We don't believe in, subscribe to nor intend to implement sharia law in our father's land. Hausa fulanis are descecrating our land and causing blood bath that must be returned to their space where it rightfully belong.
