Politics › Re: Is Songhai A Good Name For Nigeria??? by pandax: 12:45pm On Sep 15, 2023
KnowAll:
Mr man you think the tribes in the middle belts and south exists in isolation, where did the slaves that were sold to Arab traffickers come from , they were middle belts & Southerners. It would be inconceivable that they Northerners in Savanna belts would sell kiths and kin to slavery when their other tribes amongst them to d south.

Mansa Musa was believed to have over 1000 slaves.
Perish that thought please, Besides most Nationalities of Nigeria not having any affiliations with the empire, The Songhai empire was built on conquest and slavery, and we need not resuscitate it. Imagine, Mansa Musa had over 1000 slaves and you are proud to admit it.

CodeTemplar:
morônic logic. So people travel more because of flightless state owned airports?
The OP said that only 4 airports are viable in Nigeria - Abuja, Lagos, PH & Kano. In 2021 Oweeri had 600K passenger traffic, Enugu 500k, Benin 400k, Calabar 230K, Uyo 100k, Asaba, 150K, Anambra 180k, Kwara 128k, Sokoto 112k, Yola 170K. These so-called non-viable airports had a total traffic of over 2m passengers and all these passengers originated their journeys from Lagos or Abuja Airport, so without them, Lagos & Abuja will have at least 1.5m passengers less in their annual traffic.

If Lagos and Abuja are the 2 airports in Nigeria, their traffic will be abysmally very low, as you need airports to terminate flights. Think !!!

Why not Songhai, Mali is already beating Mali obtained from the Malian empire. Upper Volta is Butkina faso, which leaves just us and Niger to claim the name. And I think the Nigerians are happy with their current name. That leaves us to claim it.
Maybe, Northwest Nigeria can claim and adopt that name for its region. In fact, it will be sacrilegious for the people of Middle Belt and Western Nigeria to accept that name. My people have no connection or contact with the defunct Songhai Empire

FYI, the Songhai alliance is taking shape already and Nigeria will not be a part of it, except NorthWest Nigeria wants to join. Senegal is the next country to fall to coup plotters and the alliance will be complete

I am a Nigerian, soon to be a Songhian
Mali is the epicenter of the Songhai Empire, and it extended into parts of Sene-Gambia, Burkina Faso, Niger, and a very negligible part of Nigeria. The Songai coalition had been formed by Mali, Burkina Faso & Niger already and they are willing to defend their Kingdom. Senegal is next to fall and will join the coalition

Please tell your President, Mr Tinubu, in case he is muting that idea to perish the thought of calling Nigeria Songhai as it doesn't reflect the histories and aspirations of the majority of Nigerian ethnic nationalities

BONDA Repulic - Biafra, Oduduwa, Niger Delta, Arewa

BOMBA Republic - Biafra, Oduduwa, Middle Belt, Arewa

BOA Union - Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa

I don't understand why FG must fund unviable ones at the detriments of the productive ones. AS partners, both parties should have an MOU indicating the limit of commitment.
THAT would deter those who goes into it without proper plan
The so-called unviable airports are keeping the viable ones in business. Imagining closing down all the unviable airports that have passenger traffic of over 2m in 2021, this will lead to 2m reduction in passenger traffic of Lagos & Abuja, as they are the originating airports to these so-called unviable destinations. Think!!!

The same US also released a letter to the Nigeria Inspector General of Police under Obasanjo through their consulate that their check with of the FBI records shows that Tinubu has no criminal record in the US.
A letter which was also tendered as evidence to the tribunal.


So is it possible that they released such letter without actually checking with the same FBI? An official document at such to the Federal Government of Nigeria. Would the US embarras itself by now releasing any record that is contrary to that claim?

Time will tell...
I am a little bit surprised that the Judges accepted that letter as evidence when it wasn't presented by the issuer at the court. Yet, they discarded the ones presented by the petitioners for not emanating directly from the document issuers

You don't need to demolish Awka. They should move all government facilities out of the old Town. Relocate Prisons to Mgbaukwu or Urum or Achalla, relocate Asudeb, Awka South Lga and the magistrate court to the government district. Also relocate Eke Awka to Agu Awka and design it as a modern replacement with security station, truck loading entrance, parking, water, central power, conveniences and sell it on PPP to investors. Turn old Eke Awka space into a City Hall or school. That will make the old town mainly residential and rescue Zik Avenue from filth.

Large commercial projects including Eke Awka, a Central Bus Station also on PPP finance, Ikenga Mall can all be located at Agu-Awka to present a modern organized face to Awka.

Then build overhead bridges at Udoka connecting to Ngozika and at Ifite Rd connecting to Amudo to connect old and new parts of Awka. And build a road behind the new governors lodge linking to Ifite.
I agree to your submissions, in addition, let him
1. dualize Achalla Road with an over pass to Unizik temp side Road.
2. Then dualize that narrow stretch on the left side of Amawbia Flyover all the way to Agulu or Uga.
3. Dualize Ukwuorji- Ifite Nibo-Ring Road
4 Find way to connect Umudioka village to the Ring Road.
5 Dualize ring road from Nibo-Nkwelle Village-across Zik Avenue to come out around Abuja estate almost opposite Governor's office

We'll demolish Awka to build Awka capital city, says Soludo

Titus Maduako Eleweke



Anambra State Governor Prof. Charles Soludo has stated that his administration will demolish many properties in the state capital to get the Awka capital city of the people's dreams.



Soludo stated this on Saturday after participating in the monthly Solution Walk For Healthy Living held at the Anambra State stadium Awka.

According to Soludo, after the demolition of some property, Awka will be built to the status of a real State capital where everybody will be proud.

"Those living in Awka, we will demolish Awka and build a befitting capital for us. We will also build a flyover across the highway in Awka.

He announced the contract to build 9 kilometres AMANSEA-IFITE-Youth village-Aroma road with a flyover linking the highway has been awarded, declaring that Awka will be a real capital.

Awka will be the real capital and by next year, when Anambra state will be 33 years old, the governor of the state, for the first time will live in Awka, in the government house" he stated.

Soludo also stated that every kobo the state government under him generated would be judiciously used to build sustainable development for the good of the people.

According to him, he is very passionate about building sustainable human capital development.

The governor urged the youth to work hard to earn a decent living because Ndi Anambra celebrate hard work and industry.



He also urged those youths that are undergoing training on the state government's ongoing One Youth Two Skills programme serious because it could be their breakthrough in life.

According to him, the government under him is determined to impact positively on the lives of the youths and the people of the state
Please is Soludo planning to dualize Ifite Road or what?. Enough house demolition if that is the plan here

Good evening fellow NL members,
My story may be long but pls endeavor to read to the end so that you can make proper suggestions or advice.

I have been married for more than 10yrs now with beautiful kids, my marriage is one that many Young guy will wish to have, but along the the line I don't know what happened things begin to nose dive. In the last 6yrs I discovered that I struggle to make love to my wife, she will either tell you ohh, she is tire or she don't like sex much..this I have endured for all this years with no cheating.
Her qualities are
She can cook
She can keep the house clean
She can manage resources
And she is accommodating to my people
In all this years I have never cheated on her, proudly saying it coz my dad warned me of cheating on my wife rather I should divorce her and go for another wife.

My qualities are
I work and earn like about 700k net a month.
I give feeding allowance and personal total of 100k a month while I invest the rest on a project which she is aware of.
I don't drink or smoke
I don't keep late night
and I am the best friend to her and my kids.
Honestly having talk to her for over 5yrs on this issues of love making and she refused to change, then I have decided to yield to my dad advice and ask her to leave...she is not aware of this plan, but trust me it will hit her.
I allow her to do little job to have her own finance is not as if she contribute anything in the house, but she is claiming stubborn, I love her so much, it will hurt me to cheat on her, something I have not done since I got married to her.
I plan moving to a new place in February, and she doesn't fit into my plans.

My decision between now and December is
1 Avoid asking her for lobe making
2 Continue taking care of her so she won't suspect anything
3 when she comes close I avoid her.
4 February I issues divorce papers and give her like 1m to go get her life back

Is there anything more I can do for her?
Advice me pls...
Pls mods should help me run this on FP
Please increase the home feeding and other allowance to 200/250k and she will change. 100k for a family of 4/5 per month feeding allowance is almost impossible in Nigeria of today

Naijafrontpage:
100 Days In Office: Otti Dragging Abia Into Multi-Dimensional Poverty

By Uche Aguoru

Ordinarily, Mr Alex Otti who got into office as governor and chief security officer of Abia state on the 29th of May 2023 will have been in office for 100 days, a lifelong ambition which Mr Otti pursued for 8 years and only succeeded in his 3rd attempt.

My concern here is not the length of time, the notion of 100 days in office, or even how much has been achieved or what has been gained and lost.

I am only assessing Otti's government on the strength of his background as an economist and ex-banker, his highfalutin promises to Abians in all these years he has begged for an opportunity, his promises of economic prosperity way above what was experienced by the previous administrations, his overall performance within the period he has governed, and public expectations.

And sadly I have to announce to Abians that the honeymoon they erroneously threw themselves into on the 29th of May 2023 is anything but over and gone.

The foundation of any serious administration should have been laid within the period of the first 100 days in office, which includes moving into office, appointment of key officers, and giving policy blueprints on general administration, health, education, works, housing, agriculture, and especially economy, amongst others.

As of today, the only component that Gov. Otti brought on board is the notion of probing/ recovery of misappropriated public funds and assets which was warmly welcomed by every well-meaning Abian including yours sincerely but sadly the probe from conception lacks genuine sincerity of purpose, a product of a witch hunt only targeted at perceived political enemies, and it has led the administration into making avoidable mistakes of sealing peoples legally acquired estates for lack of proper investigation.

The Otti administration has no known policy direction across all sectors, it is still in a trial-and-error approach and has only succeeded in the blame game, bitterness, vendetta, and witch-hunting without a defined developmental roadmap and sadly some experienced senior civil servants that would have guided his government properly were illegally disengaged and today a deputy director is now heading a civil service where we have Permanent secretaries

ROADS CONSTRUCTION: Despite receiving over 60 billion Naira from the federal government in less than 3 months, the Otti administration has yet to show any remarkable effort, the only road construction the Otti administration has so far undertaken is the completion of a few internal roads initiated by the Ikpeazu administration and left at different stages of completion before the coming of the Otti administration, the only original road project so far conceived by the Otti government is the 6 lanes less than one and a half kilometer OSSA to Okpara square, a road that attracts no economic value which the state government said it will expend a record sum of over 15 billion Naira on.

ECONOMY: A few months before the coming of the Otti administration the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, the Nigerian government's foremost rating agency conducted its periodic surveys to determine the level of growth, development, decline, and other variables across the board and from many angles and statics released in its 2022 Multidimensional Poverty Index, MPI which was conducted across the 36 states of the federation and the FCT based on four key sectoral indices namely; education, health, security, and standard of living across 15 indicators: namely nutrition, food security, time to health, school attendance, years of schooling, school lag, water, water reliability and sanitation, housing materials, cooking fuel, assets, unemployment, underemployed and security shocks.

The summary shows that Abia State was one of the best five States in the federation after Lagos and Ogun States and the best in the Southeast, The survey which is usually conducted using data from the World Bank, was done during the terminal days of the last administration, the NBS and the federal government relied on clinically sourced data and reliable statistics based on verifiable indices thereby making their releases authentic and faultless. and today the once robust economically viable state of Abia just a few months ago before the coming of the Otti administration has become the headquarters of hunger in the federation and is now ranked amongst the poorest states because of the massive sacking of legitimately engaged civil servants thereby swelling the already high number of unemployed people in the state, lack of functional local government administration has completely demobilized effects of economic activities of government at the grassroots, unstable or outright lack of clear economic policy direction that has brought government business in ministries, departments, and agencies to a dangerous standstill, non-payment of workers' salaries, especially in local governments, departments and agencies of government, geometric rise in insecurity which has brought the activities of SME,s to an all-time dangerous low never experienced in Abia.

As of today, the effects of poor governance can be seen and felt on many fronts but the most and easily identifiable is the reinforcement of poverty, needless to remind us that it has hindered economic growth and may lead to ruin if aggressive economic and human-faced measures are not immediately put in place.

TRANSPARENCY: One area the Otti administration campaigned seriously, is on transparency, Mr. Otti while begging for an opportunity told Abians that he would run a transparent administration and reduce the cost of governance, Going by his promises Abians expected more from Otti in the area of transparency, and reduction in the cost of governance but shockingly Abians have been kept in the dark and are unaware of how much that has accrued to the State as there seems to be a formal policy of secrecy in the states finances, the procurement process is done in secret and contracts are awarded without due process, today the Governor is the procurement and transport officer and recently he openly confirmed to the world how he personally made efforts to procure Innoson vehicles neglecting due process, the governor has not also told Abians what he has been using the JAAC funds which the FG releases monthly for the running of the local government administration since there is no Local Government Administration in Abia either the elected or the Transitional Committee in place.

It is public knowledge that Governor Otti comes to work from Abuja and on each trip, he parks a private jet at the Owerri airport and heads to his Umuehim Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South home where he holds meetings including State Executive Council Meetings, each of the trips allegedly costs Abia an average of 18 million Naira and this frequentative trip which is repeated 3 days in a week is a clear case of squandering taxpayers’ resources on his ostentatious lifestyle that is gulping billions of naira amidst grave concerns of widespread poverty and insecurity in the state.

SECURITY: A survey carried out by Global Rights, an international human rights organization, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) analyzed by The Cable Index, the data and research arm of The Cable on the death rate resulting from violent crimes in Nigeria in the last three years (2020, 2021 and 2022), placed Abia as the least affected in terms of violent crimes.

The survey recorded a total of 1,178 deaths in the southeast due to violent crimes within the period in review (2020, 2021, and 2022) with Abia recording just 72, Imo – 183, Ebonyi – 391, Enugu – 215, and Anambra – 317. This record is just a testament to the premium the Ikpeazu administration placed on the security of the lives and properties of Abians, The Ikpeazu administration received various local and international accolades for its efforts in securing Abia and Abians but sadly today Abians are dying in their numbers and many are being kidnapped on a daily basis and the Otti administration, seem not to care or are at a loss on how to tackle insecurity despite the promises to secure and protect the lives and properties of Abians but like payment of salaries/pensions, waste management, Julius Berger and other promises, the security of Abians has been left to fate and in the hands of God and I am sure if the survey is conducted using current statistics Abia will be topping the list of the least secured states in the southeast because of the astronomical surge in kidnapping, armed robbery, Unknown gunmen, Snatching of Vehicles, burglary, and destruction of innocent lives and properties.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION: With a hundred days gone In Mr. Alex Otti's Administration there is no local government administration in place in Abia state, This very important tier of government which is saddled with the role of bringing the government nearer to the people and allows for popular participation in politics by reducing the centralization of power in the center, provides an organized system where councils exercise their power and responsibilities and manages the affairs of a locality through planning, organizing, staffing, controlling, coordinating, and budgeting in different Local governments is no longer active only in Abia out of the 36 states of the federation including the FCT, federal allocations due to the LG,s are not being accounted for and the local government workers are not being paid, it is alleged that Gov. seized the seals of the 17 LGAs. and I dare ask Mr. Governor where is the money meant for the development and running of the 17 LGAs?

THE LEGISLATURE: It is not enough that Governor Otti not only suppressed the standing rules of the house, but he also went ahead to intimidate the members and personally ensured that the minority LP took the leadership of the House. He further desecrated the global order of the legislature by installing someone from the minority LP of 10 members in a PDP dominated house as the majority leader an arithmetics that scholars are still battling to solve and today the vibrancy that is usually seen in the Abia State House of Assembly is dead and my Governor has succeeded in making the 8th Assembly a rubber-stamp legislature where he remotes their activities from the comfort of his bedroom.

CIVIL SERVICE: The civil service also received its own share of destruction from the Otti administration, the Ikpeazu administration initiated and pursued civil service reform through the introduction of biometric accreditation which was aimed at ensuring discipline and productivity in the civil service but with a human face and in total reverence to the rules governing the civil service knowing that it is an essential organ of the executive arm of government while agreeing that further reforms are still needed, the introduction of draconian measures and total disregard to laws guiding the civil service has further exposed the inexperience of Mr. Alex Otti in public administration, though many are of the opinion that it was as a result of the bitterness and mindset of vengeance with which Mr. Otti came into power with.

The Otti administration has completely demonstrated total disregard for the extant rules of the civil service by the mindless sacking of thousands of Abians legitimately engaged in the civil service, forcefully suspending Permanent Secretaries without establishing any infractions, queries, or recommendations by a disciplinary committee and till date no official communication or letters issued to that effect, he also violated the public service ethics by appointing a Deputy Director as Head of Service in a system that has serving Permanent Secretaries and Directors and what we operate in Abia today is an inappropriate organizational structure. where a PermSec will now take instructions from a Deputy Director and the resultant effect has been unproductive work operations, lack of competent leadership, etc.

Not surprisingly though, policy inconsistency, lack of direction, and profligacy have defined the Alex Otti administration. the governor has built around himself a strong individual whose subjects, personal aides, and every government functionary are afraid to approach and has deliberately succeeded in rendering every institution of government weak and in most cases non functional.

Let me conclude by honestly saying that Governor Otti's first 100 days in office have indeed betrayed his ill-preparedness, incompetence, and ineptitude, for an office he has spent his entire life running for and regrettably the honeymoon that Abians threw themselves into has ended in a sour taste.

May Abia Succeed

The station should not be a big deal for now, just the track laying and platform.



Stations can be built much later.
Soludo will talk big and deliver little. Watch it, it will be Sky Train

Oluchi54:
Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu is considering a groundbreaking step for the country by joining the prestigious G20 bloc of major economies.

The news was unveiled by the president’s spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, who shed light on the government’s careful deliberations regarding the potential advantages and drawbacks of such a significant move.

Ngelale said: “While Nigeria’s membership of the G-20 is desirable, the government has embarked on wide-ranging consultations to ascertain the benefits and risks of membership.” This move marks a significant shift in Nigeria’s international stance and aspirations.

The revelation came just days before President Tinubu’s scheduled departure to attend the G20 summit in India, a move that underscores Nigeria’s determination to explore this new avenue.

Nigeria joining G20 will be akin to India's recent invitation to join NATO!, Politics of checkmating the BRICS. If it will increase the rest of G20 investments in Nigeria, I would urge our acting president to sign up without hesitation

CONSTRUCTION OF AMANSEA-IFITE ROAD-AROMA-OVERPASS-EKWUEME-GOVERNMENT HOUSE ROAD - Tender Advert.

A good one. The overpass will add to the aesthetics of the capital city, while freeing up Aroma. Also heartwarming to see Triacta as one of the bidders. The type of contractor we want to see.
Are you descibing Amasea-Ifite Road with overpass at 'step' to link the other side of Ifite Road at Amudo village?. Then Ekwueme Sq-Government House Road

Or

An entirely greenfield Road through Amansea-Ifite and burst out at New Government House- Ekwueme Square?. Where is the overpass here?

did you do it in Nigeria? We’re the eggs retrieved much?
First part will be done in Nigeria, and the PGS or second bit will be done abroad, but the Nigerian clinic will transport the samples on your behalf to and fro. I do not know if they have facilities to equally do the 2nd part now in Nigeria.We did not travel out for ours

Give a call to Nordica, Bridge Clinic, etc and they will explain more to you

Goodluck

Explain more.
1. Normal IVF Procedure for compatible couples(AA/AS, AA/AA, AA/SS, AA/AC )= ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, sperm retrieval, fertilization and embryo transfer

2. IVF Procedure for non-compatible couples (AS/AS, AS/AC, AC/AC) = ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, sperm retrieval, fertilization, pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS), gender/sex selection and embryo transfer

a) PGS = Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) is a screening test that can be performed on embryos created via in vitro fertilization (IVF) to genetically analyze the embryos prior to transfer. Couples who are at risk of having a child affected with an inherited genetic disease
are perfect candidates for the procedure

b) Gender/Sex Selection = This is a process by which the Clinic performing the IVF, will test to know the Sex of the embryos according to your request before the embryo transfer. I chose 2 Boys & 1 Girl.
