a yoruba adage says:

The kid in house died, u say make dem no feed the elders. Shey na the elders kill the kid ni?

The point is, because dem mess up finances for abuja, make workers no eat for edo abi? Na dem spoil finance ni?

If he can't pay up, he shld cut down his cost of governance, resign or cut down the size of working staff...

As finance no good from Abuja, he no dey eat abi he no dey collect his own salaries or daily allowances?

Cut the size of government.
The meat to cut out of Edo state is the civil service itself. The civil service salary accounts for most of the recurrent expenditure . You are talking as if the Nigerian civil service is that reasonable. They would rather have the whole budget spent on salaries with no capital expenditure .as if government is for the typical, 25,000 strong ,Nigerian state civil service where there are 6 million other citizens to be taken care of .
If Abuja is not paying the state , where should the governor get the money from.
Even amaechi from the rich Rivers state has had to dip into his rainy day fund.

All of you replying my comments are all slow pokes like your TANidiot masters.
Are the states getting their allocation on time ?
Are they getting the right amount based on crude sales?
Is the federal government not making illegal deductions ,which are not being reflected in any other account.
Are the country's finances not messed up because of the fall in crude prices, the corruption and the mismanagement of NNPC?
Is the CBN not wasting what is left of OBJ foriegn reserve to defend the worthless naira?
Is the government is gradually running out of money especially if oil prices continue falling?
Call me when you get the answers .
IN Fact , call me when the naira start exchanging for N300
Yeye
Most of you have no clue of what is about to hit you if current trends continue.

civil servant.
All they care about is salaries rather than shaping the country's future.
Why not take your protest to Jonathan,madueke and Iweala in Abuja,where they have completely messed up the country's finances.

The federal government passenger in the ebola vehicle driven my the lagos state government.
Not surprised.

Who are the TANidiotz posting pictures of Obasanjo' power plants and giving credit to dumbo jack?

At this time, no alarmist,optimistic or pessimistic opinion will change my views.
Nigeria as a country is finished.
It is only awaiting her burial. The looting spree easily confirms this.

Hmm .
May olodumare be with you all.
We feel your pain.
Nobody deserves to be put through this kind of ordeal either by the terrorists or the government .
Keep safe.
These are the sort of pictures we use to see from central Africa ( Rwanda,Congo etc).
But we are not surprised because we have an Obongo in power.

The Fashola article on "stomach infrastruture" which was meant to insult Fayose is rather an insult to the MILLIONS in lagos slums that go to bed on an empty stomach. fashola should rather place physical insfrastruture side by side with his "stomach infrastruture article", lagos needs a FAYOSE in 2015

Most of those million in lagos slum can go back to where they come from.
Their poverty was not created in lagos. They should go back to where it was created. There is enough to cater for odua state citizens.

Welcome to the club. Got mine a few year ago but am back in odua states. I never shy away from flogging my friends whenever they paint an optimistic and rosy future for the animal called Nigeria.
Nigeria is worse than a jungle. Jungles have rules. A country were banning Street trading is being elitist to the masses. A country where enforcing environmental laws is being heartless.
I have travelled widely in my time. There is an innocence common to all the places I have been. That innocence is necessary to build an healthy nation.
Nigeria has lost hers. The country is doomed to fail completely.

Does anyone take this know-nothing seriously. A typical know-nothing nothing who cannot supervise a budget and who has not run anything as close as kiosk. She and her colleagues were sent to the country to prep the country for exploitation.
Devaluation of the naira
Inflation
Austerity for the mekunus.
Sale of Nigerian assets for cheap to imperialists
All coming to a neighbourhood near you.
Largest economy in Africa my foot

Nigeria will divide herself.

If so,
Good riddance to the French puppet who killed sankara. However something tells me that the puppet-masters are behind this one.

You are probably just one of a few exceptions like pat utomi . You need to attain a certain level of enlightenment that enables you to break the primordial reflexes and clannish thoughts.
You have to be capable of seeing the larger picture to understand many things.
I will take obasanjo for instance. Obj was a bull in the China shop.For all his iniquities, many enlightened folks had hope of a brighter future. You know why? Obj's politics might have been as crude as they get but his monetary and fiscal policies were excellent. If Jonathan had maintained that level of performance,we would have been talking of a foreign reserve of 150 billion dollars today and an excess crude account of 60 billion dollars.
Nigeria' bank balance was such that the only thing GEJ had to do was build,build build;even with the distraction of boko haram.
If he can't build (which he isn't),the next person would have had an healthy position to build from.
However, what we have is not only a divided country but a broke/ broken country.
This is fundamental civic.
By the way, the SW could not care less whom anybody support or decide to vote for.
Many of us are already looking beyond Nigeria. You see the comments up there, the self centred one which sounds like " it is good for us, I don't care whether it is good for others". That is exactly what leads to Civil strife in a tribal society like Nigeria. This is because it is not going to last.

There will never be a revolution in Nigeria .you will only get a civil war leading to dismemberment rather than a revolution.For some,Revolution is killing other people's elites .for others , it is doing nothing about their own elites.

It's a no brainer but for dumbo jack ,it is as hard as it can get.
How can they solve the problem when they are busy stealing the funds required to fight the terrorists.

Pathetic.
Anyone who has made any close observation of this fella knows that he is not only a thug,but also surrounds himself with like-minded fellows. He goes to beer parlours to cavort with his fellow thugs( the NURTW type). He has already started throwing gravel all over the place with camera in tow.

Are they not Nigerian citizens?
Their vote is their greatest weapon against government -haram.
The government which by act of omission or commission is responsible for their plight.

Vision?
Three blind mice.

Pathetic.
Those who refuse to learn from history are bound to commit historical mistake.

You get time o.why are you bothering to reply deluded and myopic people?
How much do they spend to build those tacky "mansion" of theirs. Anyone estimator conversant with the cost of construction in Nigeria knows all too well that the building is well within the price range.
My own grouse is the expectation of people that government is there to provide food for them rather them being the people to fund the government,in order for her to provide services.

Why is it that the bombing always start after the terrorists might have already captured a location?
Is this not a case of medicine after death?

To live for my family or to die for a corrupt country led by an absolutely corrupt clown and peopled by mentally retarded citizens?
It's a no Brainer.
I will live for my family and die for my true country (odua states :the kingdoms of the yorubas) all the time.

Was this not what murtala nyarko was talking about before he was impeached?
For the few weeks south Africa seized the money,we had peace,all of a sudden ,it has started all over again.

Were they expecting the otuoke clown ,who pays a ransome ,to free his own kidnapped relative in his home state, to rescue them?
Call me when you are ready to bury the shittiest "country" on earth.

Yesterday, I wept when I heard Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi at the APC/7years Anniversary Rally where he reeled out projects purportedly built by the buccaneering Gambaris to service their economic appetite for Niger Delta resources. The simple question is, how many of these projects have ever been headed by the Ikwerres, Okolobas, Ogonis, Ekpeyes etc. how many Rivers people are gainfully employed or doing business with these establishments. Every now and then, there has been this ritual of Turn-Around Maintenance in these establishment, how many indigenous companies have been engaged in these Turn-Around Maintenance. The cabotage law and the local content law is not local content of the Dumo Briggs of Kalabari or of the Olaka Wogu of Eleme or of the Ala Hart of Bonny or of the G.U Ake of Egi....It has been cabotage and local content for Dangote of Kano, Femi Otedola and Wale Tinubu of Lagos. This is what our jolly fellow CERELAC Tata boy wants us to celebrate.


Asari we know all this.ameachi and his gambari followers can only deceive those non Niger deltan miscreants and not the real people that know that the refineries is another way for them to enslave the people.ameachi should have also told us how many rivers people work
In these projects the gambaris established

You went,
Keep crying but Ameachi's words are still facts.

Jokers.

We all thought shagari was bad enough but
Jonathan is something else.
The worst thing is that virtually almost all Nigerians are involved in one criminal enterprise or the other.
The entire country is one huge crime infested jungle.

phantom:
shameless people........i nearly threw up my guts laughing at this list by a grossly corrupt FG institution.

you are listing 6 model classroom blocks as FG projects?? products that should be carried out by villages and hamlets if this country was sane.

this list just embarrases your oga at the top even more...
what a shame!! most of those NDDC roads listed up there didnt even last 6 months before they failed.

list something tangible GEJ has done in rivers state and stop makinga fool of him...

Thank for educating the deluded OP.

Project no 89 : construction of VIP toilet.



You simply cannot make it up.
Projects not fit for a local government chairman.
The funny thing is that most of these NDDC projects exist on paper only.
I know on good authority that the contracts for these projects were being sold on the street like when Abacha was in power.
Let me ask you a good question.
How are these ghost projects going to impact on a city/state (energy capital of a country) of that size?

Iweala is a fraud.
Go on YouTube to see her interviews. Nothing original and very elementary.
After that,watch Ekwesili's videos.
You will see the difference.

SirShymex:
Comparing him to Boris the clown? - Lagos needs its own Boris bikes then.

And he's from a minority tribe?

Fashola is a great administrator. However, he needs to tone down on the extreme capitalism tendencies. An egalitarian society has to be able to create a balance, and equality for all the people.

Anyway, has he compensated those he stole lands from?

Exactly the type we want out.
Lagos can be livable for rich and poor alike without pandering to the lawlessness /disorderliness of the average.
This fact is given further bite by simply comparing the serene Egun fishing settlements in badagry to the slum called makoko
