This Momodu is high on fermented kunu.
Fashola should give you power when the foundation of the entire power sector is riddled with all the same structural defects of a defective Union.
No matter how hard he tries, there will never be power .
Sabotage , criminality and ethnic militias will see to it that there will never be power .
Nigeria has no economy to save , crude oil is only giving you the illusion of having an economy.In reality ,Nigeria stopped having a functioning economy the day oil was discovered in Oloibiri.
Nigeria as a country , will continue to degenerate with a few upsides here and there.
The long term prognosis is that of a failed state .
All the actors and factors needed to ensure that failure are already active .
At the forefront of this are the 2 foreign religions

phantonce:
In an attempt to cross the highway with his goods, a young Northerner (name not confirmed) was hit by a car and died on the spot


The way news are reported this days breeds tribalism.
Which one be young Northerner.is Northerner a country?

Why not a young Nigerian?

Because Nigeria is a geographical expression.
You could as well have substituted the northerner with Ghanian .
The Ghanian has as much rights and privileges as anybody because there are no concepts of nationhood.

No he isn't.

I have been saying this for so long . Whenever the government tries to gentrify the land , the so called Yoruba activist move out enmass .
Okada, street trading ,slums, buildings without approval or planning are so of the stuffs that can be used to deter those who frankly have no business living amongst decent people.
Apart from minorities from the south and middle belt(th who plug in perfectly into our ways ,It is impossible to integrate folks now. The stupidittty of too much liberalism.
A lot of these folks were born destitute .they lack Any concept of modernity and city living .
While the leadership navigate the treacherous waters of Nigerian politics , they should not lose sight of the main cause .
That is getting the yoruba nation out of the country .
And to those canvassing for one useless paper from Jonathan's conference, that paper is dead on arrival.
I cannot believe that while others are conspiring, SW leaders are not taking the Bulls by the horn .
There is no doubt in my mind that the leadership need to activate a fallback position.
That position must start by activating a purposeful move towards independence .

.

When fashola banned okada , some idiotsss were taking here making noises
Until the state and SW rid itself of those odd jobs , these unskilled miscreants will keep trooping into the SW.
Tell that to your idiotic, ikoyi /Victoria island resident elites.
Theirs is a world different from yours.
Any yorubaman who thinks there is a future in that country needs to get his head checked.

aventura:
The country is not dead rather he decayed. It died a long time ago with the crop of inept and mediocre leaders that keep helming the affairs of the nation. Leaders who cannot think outside the box.
Talking about allocation, I'd ask, how much is Nigeria worth?

A country of 170 million people with 20 billion dollars.....
Talk about Apple as a company with 200billion dollars in the bank.

I repeat , Nigeria is a dead country aka failed state .
In A situation where you have militias, terrorists , clans , militants challenging the authority of the state , you know you have a failed state .
The judiciary is rotten
The police and the military are rotten

Nigeria is a dead country.
They are not spending the monstrous allocation on schools.
They are not spending it on poverty alleviation.
They should spend on of it on green houses and ranches.
No grazing routes allowed. Nobody wants AK47 barbarians living amongst them .
When next you hear sovereign conference , remember agatu and sue for independence .
Nobody has a monopoly to violence. It only takes a few AK47 wielding mofos to take the fight back.
Nomadic Cattle grazing at a time others are talking about information technology, robotic and other high tech?
Please.

It is not .
You can draw inferences from many data .
No of houses
School enrolment
Voters register
No of cars
Consumption of goods and services

In some places , the water being served is not made in Nigeria

jidestar:
I have read the article and there is no falsehood. The falsehood is people trying to pretend that all is well in Nigeria since Buhari took office.

Let it be known that for the first time in the history of Nigeria Governance we are witnessing protesters from both South and North against the brutal dictatorial regime of Buhari. No government in the History of this country have prove protest from North and South.

Are those Northerners protesting IPOB? From Kano to Kaduna, from Benue to Kogi, Anambra, to Abia. From Rivers to Bayelsa, Delta, Ondo and Ekiti. The protest is wide and spread.

They are all shouting, "Fulani Army are murdering us" and Buhari remains mute. That could be interpreted as a silent approval of the murders and signal to his kins men to continue with the murders.

Nigeria and Nigerians have never had it this bad.

You were probably sleeping when Jonathan was in power.
No other president turned national security into a joke than Jonathan.
Heck , that man was the king of ethnic militias

Fani Kayode doing what he does best.
Stirring up the hornets nest until he is invited to come and eat . Then , he starts singing another song .
However , the mad man is right once in a while .
Nigeria has a NW and NE problem which is striking at the very core of her survival.
From sharia ,terrorist , Islamic extremism to the everyday man incapable of functioning in a normal society.
He is right to say that the yoke binding the country will eventually break . Everyday , we are reminded that we are not supposed to be together , no matter how deep people choose to bury their heads in the sand .
Everyday you are reminded that the centre is collapsing.

Transformation agenda.
Even with all the stealing , the house is a tasteless monstrosity.

Transformation agenda

I do not want to hear NNPC or oil anymore.
Why not just dismantle everything and sell the metallic parts for scrap .
A country gone useless for easy money

worksmart:
Good riddance!

True investors stay for the long term and willing to stay steadfast during economic downturns.

There is a saying that you only find out your true friends during your time of need.

True investors stay for the long haul.
Do they have a factory or farm in Nigeria or they are treating Nigeria as a dumping ground for excess production in South Africa

A patriot right there.
too many socially useless economic activities and a misdirection and misappropriation of scarce resources .
The brainless leaders travel around looking for foreign investors.
Even those you expect to know better are doing the same . As if foreign investor will not end up removing wealth from the country.
I am yet to see any movement away from the Neo colonial economy through government policy which the likes of utomi , Iweala and almost the bankers worship.

themall:
If you pursue them away to go to their states, war go follow for those states o

Who cares ?
Do you see a banker , doctor lawyer tussling with okada rider
SW leaders need to squeeze out all the unskilled labour flowing into the region.
I do not care how it the burden is weighing too heavily on the less well off.
What you see are the lowest rung of the society venting their frustration

Not the first time at that market .
Time to shut it down once and for all and follow it up with the complete banning of okada .
The SW does not need all the unskilled labour flowing her way.

That MURIC organisation is an existential threat to the homeland

More and more of these violent animals will continue streaming into the country as a result of climate change.
The Agatus and other northern minorities should Unite ,move their women and kids out and make the land unbearable for trespassers.

Something is not right at all.
Either
1 the girl truly loves the guy
2 the girl is mentally unstable
3 the girl has been religiously brainwashed
The girl should be sent back to her parent and given a cool off period of at least 1 year.
If she still wants to live with him , insist on doing just that and she is above 18 years, so be it

Something is definitely wrong with this matter.
The girls should be sent home .
Whether 18 or 14 , she should be studying or learning a trade.
By the way Kayode ogundamisi seem to carry the Nigerian matter on his head when in actual fact , the country is and has been on a death spiral since independence.
On one hand he carries Biafra matter put for head , on the other hand , it is the IDP.
As if the IDPs of today Did not empower those created the system that led them to being refugees.
The problem with his approach is that his region and his people along with the Niger delta are the most cheated in the federation . They do not get to benefit in the seed the have sown for prosperity.

All news about fulanis is bad .
Just keyword "Fulani " into Google News
From Central African Republic , Ghana all the way to Togo . These people are not fit to live amongst normal civilised people .
And they form one of the reasons why I want odua states out of the country.
No one should tell me that these violence a are not orchestrated.
Violence is also not one sided . The day others decide to go into the violent mode , the country will be set alight
Boycott beef and eat fish and poultry.

I love that mentality .

End of harassing civil servants to access loot domicile in commercial banks through secret Hearings

AntiMahdi:
You can't prevent malaria infection even as an undergraduate?

What kind of dunces are being trained in our universities these days?

Simple hygiene and preventive measures like mosquito nets and malaria prophylactic una no sabi?

If these dunces where in Liberia Ebola for don wipe them out.

Make una dey wait for govt.

As far as I am concerned the only reason to get malaria is if you are in kirikiri as an inmate.

You can actually reduce the number of incidence of malaria by reducing the population of mosquito larvae

Fit for an egomaniac

Bigerians should simply as for the dismantling of the National Assembly

Waste .
Why do you need such an amount a sleeping quarter?
Enough money to build water works for a large town .
Now to get to the main points

1 Does the government think that the civil service is good enough ? I doubt it . I was hoping that they have started there first .

2 making cuts . Multiple competing agencies of government with multiple facilities , and who add no value.

3 Stopping all nice-to-have expenditures like ministers quarters , extensions to a ministry's headquarters , fences etc

4 reduce the amount spent on Abuja and channel the money to states where people actually reside and the wealth is made . The per capita income of Abuja ( highest in Nigeria) show that it can fund itself .
Abuja alone has consumed an unjustifiable share of capital project over the last 30 years . Despite this unequal share , it is still not contributing to the kitty.

5 devote money to stuffs that will create wealth

6 Cancel expired stuffs like NYSC and pass the responsibility to the Nigeria volunteer Corp . A graduate who volunteers can then be sent to fill the gaps ( e.g teaching ) in places where such cancellations will be felt .

7 teminate all federal involvement in roads , rail outside city limits .

8 Stop duplicating state responsibilities

9 Agencies like NDDC should be devoted to the residents of the places where crude oil is pumped . If the person does not live there , he does not get the benefit .
If yenagoa does not pump oil , yenagoa should not get projects from NDDC . If the oil is coming from brass , let brass enjoy all those projects . The Niger delta ministry and derivation can take care of the rest of the state .


10 the National Assembly budget should be and must be reduced .


11 States must be allowed to produce and supply electricity to their industrial park
I can go on and on . Many of these points do not require any money . Only political will .

12 the waste resulting from one airport per state. Where most of those airports are unviable . Privatise or handover those airports to the states

13 Let the states from whom revenues are made keep at least 30% of their money . Concentrate money on and Assist those not contributing to build their economic independence.

Got it right up apart from importing everything .
No country makes everything. You are going to import something whether you like it or not .
The iPhone is not our problem .TVs, PlayStation cameras are not as well.
The problem is the psyche of the country and a lack of leadership.
How hard is it to build refineries ? Many people ( Igbo , Hausa, Yoruba , edo , delta , rivers etc have been gifted oil blocks ( basically free money ) , yet none of them has invested any of that free money into any initiative; Including refineries .
Yet they luxuriate in all stuffs the world has to offer.
How much does it cost to build a medium sized steel plant ?
When you have elites with this kind of mentality , then you have big trouble to contend with .
Just imagine the money to be made from refineries . Yet , the Nigerian elites are unwilling to stake their money
Elsewhere, those elites set the pace and policy .
All that tells me is that the cake is being given to the wrong people .

Good Point but politicians are not equally bad.
There are you can regards as the

Best of a band bunch
Or least bad of the worst.

In any case , you should always choose the least bad .
