Why should the FG step in here? Is it that the governors are not competent to do what they got voted in to do?
The FG has stepped in enough by giving more money to the states to help their people.
Do you want the FG to go over the SG and give to the people? Who will be in charge of maintenance of the vehicle? Will that be state govt? or will it be FG?
State gov Makinde will say I didn't send you message to buy buses when you want to dump maintenance on me. This is how the buses will get auctioned to Young shall Grow or Agofure in 9months abi FG will create another ministry for maintenance of FG vehicles when we already have overbloated spending

Why I said he should have sat with them before condemning the same Governor’s people to penury.

Theflint1:
They can also discount or waive duties for importers bringing in buses for mass transit for the time being.

They want to increase revenue by force… nothing will be discounted

raumdeuter:
Why will it be the FG responsibility to donate buses when they have increased state allocation? why can't state used the increased allocation to buy what their people need. Nasarawa need buses, Bayelsa needs canoes, Katsina needs camels

Seems most Nigerians havent come to terms with what a Federal system of govt means. It’s the state and LGA who are closer to the people that will cater to their needs the most. We all vote governors let’s hold them accountble

Doesn’t mean Federal government can’t step in…. Even in US and Australia where states have more powers… The Federal. Government do step in sometimes.

Tinubu removed subsidy and not state governors He did that without consulting them and rubbing minds together.

Some governors literally just got elected and he’s already putting them in this situation.

raumdeuter:
Anyone thats not a psych patient should suggest what the govt should have done instead

1. We are paying subsidy with debt. At a time 100% of National income was used to pay subsidy

What should we do?

Option 1 remove subsidy - If you agree to remove subsidy what do you understand by it and what do you really expect when subsidy is removed

Option 2 Continue with subsidy with borrowed funds which 100% of national income pays

They can donate buses to each state or something to alleviate the suffering.

One past governor donated buses to school even though izzou and co said it’s not financially POssible 🌝

I tell you it’s possible when you hold everyone accountable

raumdeuter:
Show us the source of your 1.2bn airport

We like throwing numbers around in Nigeria sha. Shey Anambra wey the annual budget according to deadpresidents is about 300-400m Naira

This years budget of Anambra is 259bn Naira which is about $350M. yet we believe 4 times of it was spent on an airport. Shey people for the state no chop for that 4yrs

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/12/07/anambra-assembly-passes-n259-9bn-budget-for-2023

Soludo still budgeted 4billion to complete the airport recently…
Where have you seen airport built for $18million and dubbed the most modern in Nigeria from your screenshots?

raumdeuter:
Is Anambra debt free currently for you to say he paid back 185bn?

You are arguing from a wrong premise. How did you get the information that Anambra built the airport for $1.2bn

Sounds ridiculous innit

Same as the 185 billion….

raumdeuter:
I already reminded Obainojazz, but he will probably say the strike was a APGA propaganda against Obi. Na him dey claim say the 2 succesors to Obi dey lie now

Universities went on strike, does that mean they are not getting paid.

You’ve been here saying people shouldn’t complain about subsidy removal that it takes balls to be a leader.

Someone decided Hospitals and schools won’t act as they like and they all went on strike.

Since that decision, we’ve been consistently top three in health care and secondary education.

We having the best nursing school now built by same Obi… when I was visiting one public hospital there… you literally have one nurse to a patient sometimes and they actually do a good job with great customer service.

Schools are better managed now that it’s in private hands but funded by the government… Hospital and schools should have boards with sense not ghost workers in ministries.

raumdeuter:
So Obaino the governor is lying about what is in the states pocket, Soludo is lying about what is in the states pocket

Why cant Obaino survive it if he is more visionary than Obi? Obi was known for running a roadside market trader economy which has been rubbished by his succesors. No be the same Obi dey invest state govt money in his business which is said to be worth nothing now?

Obaino possibly generated more income which made him do those projects.

I did not make any of these facts up, They were wprds frm those who should know the state governors of Anambra

Obiano generated what
Let’s take our current IGR of 30bill per month… That’s 240 in 8years which is less than the airport cost.

Let’s add Federal allocation of about 400bill in four years (exaggerated).

That’s a total of 740 billion…. How much he use build airport, paid salaries, built roads, “paid back 185bill debt”

raumdeuter:
Obi was an APGA governor, The State governor of Anambra is who I am quoting. I didnt make up the facts, Anambra succesive governors said it

Obiano said it Soludo said it, But you dont want us to believe them? Who should we believe instead?

How much Rivers or Anambra owe has no correlation. There are friends you get money pass yet they are in bigger debts and some are in smaller debts

You don't want us to believe the state govt f Anambra, who should we believe then?

Soludo said he inherited 109billion from Obiano and lamented.

You think Obiano will survive that huge debt… Obiano said he built Anambra airport without borrowing dime… that airport I believe cost around $1.2bill…

You know how many roads dude constructed, paid salaries and other projects?

Surely he met it good…

raumdeuter:
There are ways to increase revenue but the cost of governance is encoded in laws passed that the legislative arm. Unless the president decides to go against the house which will retaliate by not passing any bill including budgets. The house also put their own package as part of the budget so you ether don't sign the budget or you sign with their baked in bonuses

Like you said leave those bold for campaign lamba. Cos na that time doctors dey strike for over a year in Anambra, Na that time Anambra residents dey complain about poor roads and praying for Ngige to come back cos na Ngige roads dem dey enjoy. Soludo the current gov said all alleged investment are worth nothing. Everything about Obis admin in Anambra has been shown to be a scam from those who know which are the 2 people who succeeded him

Regarding debts left behind. Hear from his successor Obiano. Watch the video yourself


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZr7AWrTX6U

You clearly don’t like Obi which is your choice but what he did are verifiable facts

A video of pained APGA chieftain saying he left 185 billion in debt na garbage…Those guys squandered Anambra security vote and when compared to how Obi spent his… they started throwing shiit around.

You think Anambra borrowed up to 185 billion lol… How much is a bigger state like rivers owing?

There were contracts sugned but not yet paid for which then falls under accrued debt… doesn’t mean you borrowed and squandered the money lol

raumdeuter:
What would Obi have done differently to the cost of governance that is signed off by legislators?

It’s just like asking what will Tinubu do to increase revenue…. I’m not the one looking at the books.

But one thing is clear, without borrowing but you paid salaries, built a uni from scratch, built hospitals, built the most inter community roads, provided buses to all government schools in Anambra et al while still saving for your predecessor.

That’s unprecedented and you know it, but let’s leave that one aside… election don finish.

I’m still hoping for the best as this is just the first few months 😎

TrebleChamp:
Obi that is very good at cutting cost of governance, na why Anambra State House of Assembly impeach him that year nah. He refuse to let them share crazy allowance when he was Governor, APC is just scam from top to bottom...

Looked like generating revenue was our problem not knowing we have wasteful and criminal politicians everywhere…. Nigerians don miss opportunity on having Obi… make he go do another thing.

Hopefully things will get better if the right ministers are appointed.

liveLongNprospa:
Lmaoo... If I drive 100km/hr, it will take me 30mins to get to work.
That's how far it is from my home.
Now imagine how long hiking will take😂

Funny thing is, a lot of people drive at 100/km to commute to work…. Una go kee person for that naija road one day.

Lol Raumdeuter na former champion… Must been a longgg time like Leeds United

larride:
Hopefully other banks follow suit.

I'm reading Access Bank is trying to buy Standard Chartered Africa. That will be the second bank they are buying in the last 5yrs.

Our banks are just too small… Access bank Market cap is like $2bil 🤦🏽‍♂️

Sending military does not mean they’ll construct road blocks everywhere like a war zone… it just means there will be personnel readily available in hot zones to combat those criminals.

Spy360:
My brother I am from the SE and I get daily info about what's happening. Inasmuch as IPOB is not needed, it's all political. I won't be surprised if the killings are done mainly by state actors- military and state vigilantes. SE is not really different from other southern regions.

I get some of your point…. You’ll barely see those IPOB hooligans in Awka or Onitsha causing wahala.

My bro has been in Awka and is yet to experience any of that.

The issue is uncertainty…. As long as those guys exists, one day they’ll reach where they haven’t previously.

People won’t invest, indigenes out of state will be scared to go back… the drawback plenty jare.

They are now bold and will soon expand their territories like Boko Haram

afrodoc2:
Sorry I am just seeing this. It is a good idea. It’s like a test of how trustworthy and reliable you are. Dayo’s system works well but you might be surprised at how much discipline it takes to keep paying at that cycle end as he suggested.

The first thing is even though you might be entitled to a higher credit limit, just go for a lower limit which is within what you would normally spend monthly.

The next thing is instead of spending primarily from your debit card, you spend primarily from your credit card. Then you just transfer the money from your debit card to your credit card at the end of the cycle as advised by Dayo.

Keeping religiously to this will increase your credit score and you will avoid paying interest. As a first credit card owner go for a lower card limit so you can master the system and any mistakes/interest payments will be small.

P.S Any direct debits you have set up should be from your debit card.

Thank you doc… I should be able to pay off what’s owed like Dayo suggested.
My Credit score went from 800 plus to 700plus this financial year even though I earned and spent more.

Crazy system here… If I don’t act, might go down to 600plus next July.

raumdeuter:
Get a credit card. Its useful to build credit. Not using the card might make them close your card. and its bad. Credit utilization is How much you use/ How much credit line you have. Ideally you want to reduce the numerator and increase the denominator

Get a credit card that gives you a reward either airline miles, cashback or something

So what you should do is to know your billing cycle and when it ends. The amount you spent in your billing cycle pay it off immediately before the cycle ends. Because they will calculate your interest based on the amount you are carrying on bill cycle end date

E.g Lets say your billing cycle ends on 31st of every month

Spend as much as you like on your CC from 1st to 30th, By 30th pay it off. This ensures you pay zero interest while getting the benefit of using the card(like airmiles, cashback etc)
Your credit card utilization will be zero or low which is good in your credit report
E.g
July 1 cycle starts
July 4 spend $500
July 10 spend 300
July 28 spend $100
July 30 Pay the balance used of 800

See here you have spent $800. Pay off the $800. means your interest payment will be $0 but the reward will be calculated on how much you swipe/use

Thank you all for responding… I’ll go collect the card

raumdeuter:
Well he got a lot of emergency supporters who thought they could unseat APC and Tinubu

What’s your take on getting a credit card?

My credit score dropped and it says because I don’t use a CC… something like that

Cc Ibime, Afrodoc, Nihilistjnr & Roland17

Hello Ibime and Mukina2

FA cup QFinalist last season

Balogunodua:
Evribodi don dey catch cruise

If I write jamb now... Only God know wetin man go score

afrodoc:
The girl get gentle face but her heart strong like lion. Maybe she had some harsh plans for the money.

Imagine not flinching under national scrutiny for so many days. Most people of that age will confess under pressure from the principal or even teacher.

Got grown men defending her... She's really bold

afrodoc:
Yeah but based on rural life and economic limitations some people get delayed.

She is probably an intelligent girl.

Why she felt she had to get the highest score in JAMB is what I don’t understand.

Imprisonment will be too harsh for her sha. Probably a suspended sentence and suspension from JAMB for 1 or 2 years.

This is the issue... Trying to steal the spotlight from another who deserves it.....

She would have slept well at night with all those million s donated to her.... Na wa

raumdeuter:
That was the first red flag I saw. These days where primary 6 no longer exist in many schools. At 15,16 many are writing jamb

16 year old kids should be done with school now. The girl na agbaya

Save and Japa..... Thank me later

GloriousGbola:
It is probably the Sapa like you said. The dad is an okada rider and a widower. Things are much harder for the poor in cases like this.

Pity the man Sha.... Never bring shame to your family

GloriousGbola:
She is confirmed 19 years. Even if she was from a rich home to go abroad is not guaranteed. Any Google search will open her yansh.

19 Years just writing Jamb

I was like 16 or 17 when I did mine

WhoDeyHause:
I guess I was carried away by emotions and jamb's past incompetencies so I apologize to gloriousgbola, shaytun, olril7, nihilist and whoever I argued this nonsense with. If my words were also hurtful I also apologize.

The argument should have ended when people confirmed the barcode and Result slip weren’t hers and from a previous year.

I remember one of my Warri friend, he was in 200level when I noticed his admission was fake… If they can forge admission, what’s Jamb score

The girl is a Juvenile and will escape prison but the shame is eternal… na to just go abroad and study but be like they sapa too

Want to transfer her trauma to the kid and the circle continues

BlueRayDick:
Some of these protests and knee jerk reactions are just comical to say the least.

The ruling party conducted an election which they invited independent observers to come witness....The observers draw up report based on what they observed happened during the election and now same ruling party is having protesters matching up and down the capital in a bid to reject the EU observer's report. No be juju be that ?

So as una don convince una self say what happened was a "free and fair election", una still get mission to erase the memory of the observers as to what happened and replace it ur own version of what happened ?

https://www.nairaland.com/7755086/heavy-security-pro-tinubu-protesters-storm

I suspect those EU observers are from Anambra

larride:
He was popular before the first arrest. He was using Radio biafra to spew bile against the North and the SW on a consistent basis with a lot of fabricated lies.

The issue of biafra is a very sensitive topic that can change the mode of conversation into an emotional rollercoaster in a matter of minute. A large number of people identify with that struggle, that's how Kanu was able to ammase the plenty followers that he got.

I didnt help that PDP has totally run down the governance of the SE then so the masses see Biafra as their lightening hope to prosper the region (At least that's what Kanu promised).

When Buhari arrested Kanu, it just spark an outrage that the one speaking for them wants to be silenced, the elites looked away and the elected officials decided to play the ostrich.

Funny they are choosing abroadians in their safe country to lead ipob.

The arrest of Ekpa go sweet my belle well.
