Been squeezing my face like some one who tasted garlic mixed with lime and ginger.

Good as it may look but fly overs shouldn’t be a yardstick for measuring good governance.
Quality economic growth, high employment percentage and job creation should be the main deal.

Still far better than many states in Nigeria IMO though.

Not saying the governor is not doing anything.
But when they notice too much commendations because of bridges, they might think that's all they need to do to secure two terms in office.

SmartPolician:
And one nonentity was saying on Nairaland that rich Americans don't pay tax. Mtcheww

If you know how much Americans (especially the leftists) drag their rich people over taxes, you'll marvel.

Humans are the same every where. The same way we accuse Dangote of tax fraud is the same way they accuse their billionaires of committing tax fraud too.

AyakaDunukofia:
Well, those that are too hungry may be too fixated on how to get something to eat than appreciate the strategic importance of infrastructure in driving investments. Don't worry, they are one of the most important things.

Well, so when you're not hungry, the next important thing is flyovers whether it is indeed if th topmost priority or not?

I get your pattern, you fill your stomach with morsels and you climb flyovers to excercise your body right?

Bro, a country's development is not by the number of flyovers. Our governors should stop the flyover competition.

Huh

Rexymania:
It easies traffic and help in economical development

Yes it does....but they're paying more attention to flyovers and roads as if those are the only remaining deficits in their states.

How many states in Nigeria have a good blueprint again?

You people should learn to appreciate nah, even if he is wasting the money, you can see where he is wasting it.How about Benue state where all the governor has commissioned in six years is one mechanical borehole that collapsed soon after and he is still oweing civil servants up to seven months in salaries?

Is the Naira appreciating? Is electricity appreciating? What is appreciating in Nigeria presently except for the negatives. Why then should I be appreciative.

In this 21st century, we need radical leaders who can create institutions that work no matter the party that is in government. Those are real leaders.

You see all these paying salaries, repairing roads etc, they're recurring activities. When we're stuck with recurring activities, when are we going to build institutions that'll stabilise our country?

iyke2frankeze:
But Maiduguri and Kano state are celebrating one flyover each with short road networks claiming to have the best leaders in the world?

Theirs is even worse. Their people are down South doing Bambi Allah and they can't think beyond flyovers. Nothing to make the region economically viable.

Governance is indeed not easy but this is exactly why those who have no idea upstairs should stay away from government but in Nigeria, the opposite is the case.

Go and rest, he should come and feed you?

I'm not even living in Ebonyi and neither am I living in the mercy of any public official but if you're in government, you better have good ideas of governing or else you'd be heavily criticised.

If you're a family member of his and you're pained because I said flyovers are not enough, you can tell him to resign.

vanunu:
Where did he get the money to build 17 flyovers and hundreds of kilometres of concrete roads, did he borrow?

I don't think we should be bothered about whether he got the money or not. The question should be "why is construction of flyovers the recent standard of good governance and infrastructural development in Nigeria?"

muykem:
17 flyovers you said. Abia state need to borrow this man after his tenure in Ebonyi state.

Seriously? 17 flyovers are the most important needs of Ebonyians and the governor has fulfilled that. Wow....17 flyovers!

Ikea81:
The teachers are right. present Nigeria society only promotes crimes. yahoo, kidnapping, looting and prostitution. check from the government circle, to Boko and bandit amnesty to all the influencers on social media and tell me these kids are not learning the right skills to thrive in a country like Nigeria.

One of the major factor we often underestimate is music. Which musicians are seen as role models for these teens? Isn't it Naira Marley and all that he represents?

Why then are we surprised? Some people still insult us when we tell them the damage the likes of Naira Marley and his ilks are doing to the Nigerian youngsters.

Read to understand bro

I understand bro and I was using that to make a point on the thread itself.

LAGOS IS EQUAL TO LONDON

As it is with Lagos, so it is with London, New York and Mumbai among others. Centres of commercial activities in almost every country usually have a constrasted world of poverty and homelessness.

The kind of story Hollywood loves

It's more than a story. It's a real life event that happened yesterday. Go on Twitter and search for Tunde Onakoya. Youths really have a lot of work to do repairing this country. We have the brains already, we just need the will to do so.
