This has nothing to do with mediocrity. We all know T.A Orji and Mattew Elechi are the worst governors in the east.
I'm sorry this has everything to do with the love and inexplicable passion for mediocrity. Our leaders are just content with poorly executed projects that is why we have this issue.

...and yeah, this is not just a TA Orji or Elechi matter, almost all other Nigerian governors are guilty of this same mess.

After 15 years since the ENRON Barge scam deal and super-sized generators fraudulently called IPPs and budget increase from N48 billion in 2000 to almost N500 billion in 2015.

The project was frustrated by OBJ and the PDP central government. Now we have an APC central government, hence the project is being revisited.

Politics › Re: Does Our President - Elect Intend To Keep His Word? - Vanguard by obailala(m):
Alishachris:

One chance

At the APC South-East rally at Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri, Buhari declared that he would make the naira equal to the dollar if voted into office. He continued: "It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than 230 to one dollar. This does not speak well for the nation's economy." But now that he is president-elect, Buhari no longer talks about naira-dollar parity. All he does is complain about the devaluation of the naira.
Your write-up should have been a good one if you did not include this falsehood. This issue has been thrashed and denied severally, the statement of $1 = N1 is only the figment of the imagination of one Vanguard journalist as he seems to be the only one who heard this out of several thousands (including TV cameras) present at the stadium. There are countless bogus promises made by GMB and the APC during the campaigns, why don't you just stick to the actual promises made instead of insisting on the rumoured/conjured promises?... It only demeans your entire message.

I was already enjoying what you wrote until I got to that line. You cannot force words into the mouth of a man and then turn around to hold him to account for his your words.

I'm only talking about the road markings and this has nothing to do with annual allocation. It cost absolutely nothing to finish the job properly if only we can rise above our collective passion for mediocrity.

Someone completes a beautiful road like this but refuses to buy a bucket of white paint to demarcate the lanes and you say it's because he has less annual allocations?... I disagree with you; this is just mediocrity and it's very common in Nigeria. Its just a line of paint!

Something I have noticed about most Nigerian city roads, the roads are never marked and I wish someone could explain why undecided

Is it just that we so passionately love mediocrity or what is the reason exactly?... For crying out loud, after spending hundreds of millions to build a new road, why is it so difficult to spend a few thousands to mark the roads properly and give the city a nice and meaningful look?

Today we keep hailing the roads in Akwa-Ibom but in my opinion, there's just one thing that differentiates the roads in Uyo from other city roads in Nigeria, Uyo roads are marked.

Manual accreditation was allowed by INEC for the presidential election but was not allowed in the governorship elections. How is this very basic explanation too complex for some people to understand?

No one is talking about the presidential election here, any fraud in that election cannot be traced since card readers were not used.

I listened to his speech and I was impressed. He explained that the problem of Nigeria has never been about the north vs south or about Christian vs Muslim or PDP vs APC. He made it clear that the problem has always been about good vs bad people.

If only Nigerians would begin to see things this way, maybe and maybe, we may be able to salvage ourselves from the choke hold of our evil leaders.

What you are talking about is that either way, it's still APC and I want to let you know that though it's still APC, Dogara getting the post will do APC more harm than good because it will create a faction within APC which is not good..Think outside the box and stop talking like kid..The guy you quoted was saying that it will benefit PDP and I guess you don't know that..Now let me help you, when APC has different factions, to whose benefit is it?...
Lol... and all i am saying is that it is too early for you to come to that conclusion especially since the apc hasnt endorsed anyone for the speakership yet.

Okay lets assume the apc endorses Dogara for speaker next week, how would the pdp reps voting for a man endorsed by apc HQ cause a crack in apc?... This is all I've been asking you since yesterday.

You have to see the bigger picture dude..this is real life politics and not the virtual politics you guys play on NL here..
The point is that apc hasnt zoned the speakership yet to anybody so you guys are just putting the cart in front of the horse... What if apc finally zones it to the NE? So how does pdp reps voting for Dogara punish APC?

Gbaja in my opinion has been the most active Rep on the house in the past years. He has always been the voice of the opposition in the house and there's never any issue being discussed in which he doesnt have a contribution.

Gbaja has also been the minority leader and head of the opposition in the house for 8 years. It would really be an anomaly if when his party finally becomes the majority, the former minority leader would then be pushed aside and someone else from the blues made a speaker. undecided

If he can do the job properly, then so be it. Enough of these forty something and fifty something year olds who just go into government and expand their accounts. There are only 2 categories of leaders in Nigerian history; the good and the bad. Age of our leaders has never been our problem in Nigeria, neither has the ethnicity nor the religion of our leaders been our problem. The only leadership problem we've always had is that we keep having bad kleptomaniacs (s)elected or appointed into top leadership positions. Until we collectively identify that this is our problem and not age or religion or ethnicity, we will never move forward as a nation.

By the way, I hear Prof West is the only Nigerian past petroleum minister without an oil block.

Ministerial Slot: Why I Won’t Reject Buhari’s Offer – 79yrs Old Professor by Johnnyessence: 3:00pm
Professor of Virology, Tam David-West, has said he would not reject an offer of a ministerial appointment as Minister of Petroleum from the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari.

David-West, who was recently mentioned as the man the president-elect is interested in handling the petroleum portfolio, told Daily Sun in a telephone interview that he would not turn down anything given to him by Buhari.

“Let the appointment be made first. I will not turn down anything Buhari gives me because I know him that he can turn Nigeria around.

“So, anything that I can contribute to his Nigeria project, I will do it by the grace of God, because anything I do, God directs me. And if it is the will of God, of course, He will give me the strength. But anything that can help Buhari in his Nigeria project, I can do it by the grace of God,” David-West said.

David-West, who will be 79 on August 26, was taken up on the issue of generational shift, but responded swiftly, saying: “They should shut up. Age has nothing to do with capability. I give you a good example: the President of Tunisia is now close to 90 years old. He defeated an 80-year-old in the election. Mugabe is 91 years old. It is the capability that matters, not age.”

“Jonathan is younger than Buhari. Has he done better than Buhari? In spite of the fact that Jonathan is younger, Nigerians said Buhari can do better. Age has nothing to do with it.”

Asked what advice he has for President Goodluck Jonathan as he prepares to leave office, David-West said: “When he was in office, did he listen to me? Is it now that he will listen to me? He never took my advice, and I told him that some of the people surrounding you are sycophants and they will leave you. And now, he is regretting. I have no advice for him. He should advise himself.”

He thanked God that Nigerians voted massively for Buhari, saying Nigerians would experience change soon.

“The message I have for Nigerians is that our expectation is high because of the mess. And it is justified. My message is that Buhari is not a magician. Nigerians should not expect magic or miracle. Buhari is not a magician, he is not a miracle worker; but they should give him time. They should be patient. But I am confident that he will turn this country around. There will be far great difference within six months,” David-West declared.
Arrant Rubbish!

What has age got to do with anything?... The number 1 and biggest problem we have in Africa today is the diabolic greed and corruption of our leaders who don't mind if the nation roasts as long as they make their money. After all it was a very old man that transformed Singapore from a third world slum to a first world country. We need to understand that there have been only 2 categories of leaders in Nigeria from 1960 till date; the good and the bad. Age, ethnicity or religion has got absolutely nothing to do with. We have been unlucky to have too many bad people ruling us for so long and that is the reason for our backwardness. Until we collectively agree and identify this true cause of our problems, we can never move forward.

The second biggest problem we have today in Africa (Nigeria specifically) is the cluelessness of the masses (especially the youths) to properly diagnose what the problem really is. We keep misdiagnosing the problem to be the northerners or the south-westerners or the Easterners or the Niger-Deltans or the colonial masters (that left 55 years ago) etc. We also find it comfortable to blame one religion or the other or we blame the military or we blame the age of our leaders for our backwardness. Whatever the case, all we do is blame, blame and blame yet we always fail to blame the right people.

Far far far from it. I'm not trying to lead any tribal war, rather I'm actually denouncing the tribal wars we witness here everyday as being a manifestation of foolishness and myopia.

I was only pointing out the way in which we watch our leaders commit blunders but instead of cautioning or criticising them, we resort to blaming our neighbours for all our problems even when the real source of the problem stares us in the face. Now we are celebrating Nigerians being elected leaders in other nations but down here in our homes, we cant even tolerate our closest neighbours that speak the same language as we do.

Meanwhile somewhere in a jungle nation in west Africa, a frog eyed cretin like governor who was just recently (s)elected to the senate ordered the sack of all non-indigenes from his state's civil service. The sacked workers included his fellow tribesmen from neighbouring states and even people married to indigenes of his state. Even the long serving civil servants who started working before the state was split into two were sacked and asked to go to their new state's civil service.

And at the end of the day, some 'smart' fellow comes to tell me the problem is Yoruba or Awusa or Igbo or Christian or Muslim etc. undecided

SaharaReporters focuses on the government in power hence their searchlight has mainly been on the PDP and on JOnathan (being the president). There are too many stories of filth to be reported on our rulers and you dont expect SR to spend their resources chasing people like Tinubu or Buhari or Timipre who are not in power. But that being said, if you were not blinded by sentiments and emotions, you would have known that SaharaReporters have still thrown out several corruption stories on all those individuals you mentioned. For God's sake, how can any sane person even accuse SR of not exposing the corruption of Tinubu?... Are you blind?... or are you just emotionally talking for talking sake?... For you to even make such a statement, you do not deserve a response... I only searched the word 'tinubu' on the SR website and got uncountable results...

Can you now kindly do your research before blabbing what you don't know in public next time.

Finally, SR has been around for over 9 years (even before most of you learnt how to use the internet) and they have churned out strangely revealing stories of which 90% turned out to be true, hence their reputation. Now I have always said that any GEJ or PDP sympathiser who thinks SR is owned by APC (formed 2 years) to attack PDP, that person is absolutely free to form his/her own SR which will reveal the filth in APC and I think that would be beneficial to the Nigerian people (if and only if they can churn out facts).
