I don't need to be a resident of Lagos to talk about Lagos or any other state. When we talk about the progress of Nigeria, it means that all the states are making progress so, if we expend our time and energy on a few states while we pay little attention to others, the atrocities committed by politicians in those states will in no time become a problem for the country as a whole.

Doherty has dropped the gaunlet, I hope the LASG are pressured to reverse all of that anomaly of a budget. The lagos state governor should resign if we had a working society but we know it is almost impossible here so, the least we can do is to pressure the government to review that whole budget...

Politicians are wicked...

Theflint1:
I don't think so sha...

What's the population of Nigerians in the formalized labour space...let's start from there.

You dey see the amount wey this people dey steal? This one is even on paper, they're a lot more they steal without a trace.

This is just Lagos, imagine what is happening in Balyelsa with just 8 LGAs but with so much money. Imagine what's happening at the FG level...

Birthday blessings livongNprospa...May your new age find you a better man. Cheers!

[color=royalblue]The cost of governance is just too high.

I am even mad that the Deputy governor of Ebonyi is running his office with 47 million. What the flying fck are they using 47 million for?

Then Abia Deputy is using 252 million.. Unto say Nestle and GSK dey produce their products inside?

Then LASG dey use 8 billion to upgrade website?

WTF is going on in this country?

Curse be the day anybody supported the removal of subsidy

I'm ready to partake in any Jihad for this.[/color]

I have always argued that Nigeria can confidently pay 100k minimum wage but people will always say Nigeria is broke. I refuse to accept that narrative. The cost of governance alone can go a long way not to talk of corruption in other sectors ranging from padding up contracts figures, ghost workers etc...

OasisX:


.......like calling Endsars protesters acharchists and fools right?!

It is those who don't know him that he can fool.

An idiot that voted for Buhari twice, wished Peter Obi death and used the ethno-religious card whenever it was to his advantage will come out attacking others. That guy has got no shame.

donjazzet:
That one Na fool right from time.
I don't think he even voted, he wasn't man enough to boldly support the evil he's been shyly supporting.

Donjazzet your father is a fool to have birth a slowpoke like you...

You are the same goat that voted for Buhari in 2015 and after 4 years where he failed across many fronts you still used that your dirty fingers to thumbprint for his reelection in 2019...If anyone has enabled the APC on these board, it is actually you...

You come here every other day acting all sanctimonious but the records are there. You accuse people of during the very things you did and even worse. You are a shameless man...

May your seeds never look anything like you else there's no hope for Nigeria. You are a cancer to the society...

Bloody bastard.

donjazzet:
Latest discovery of an old post by another idiotic APC supporter.

What have you done to address the several ”idiotic” post you dropped on Nairaland in time past?

liveLongNprospa:
And fvcking call out LP.
What's your issue?
TF?

It is funny that the person that highlighted the issues did not attempt to troll his friends in the APC but he directed it at the government but you are rather interesting in trolling Larride maybe because you envisioned that others will join you in dragging him instead of you to demand answers from the right quarters.

Keep on with it...

[color=royalblue]I am not a student of history, but I can see reason with Ibime that an adopted language doesn't necessarily mean the people are from there.

My reason is my experience in Lagos.

If you go into some parts of Iba, you will see a large concentration of Igbos. The ratio can be 3:1 sef. You can literally be speaking Igbo from Iyana school down to Churchpole, and you'll see people who can understand you. They even have an Igbo primary school there. Many streets there have Igbo names. Churches, Village Unions, blah blah blah are Igbo-like..

Now, unless someone nukes that place, there's no argument that Igbos would outpower the locals there in say 50 years.

Then imagine someone coming in 200 years to say Iba in Lagos are people from Anambra state.

It is very possible for foreigners to outpower the locals in everything. But that doesn't translate to that place being an offcut from the foreign land.

I'm sure this is also in other parts of Nigeria too.[/color]

Very true, if you go to a place in Calabar called Nasarawa or Boko Biri (Not sure I got the spelling right) you did swear they're the owners of the land because even the average Child of Efik descent born around these axis will most likely speak Hausa more fluently than Efik and they'll most times come across as Hausa because the prevailing culture affects the way they dress and behave.

liveLongNprospa:
Why are you pissed nau?
It's a good question.

Or you think say I forget say you dey support the party down to state level. 😌

Stop this thing. You sef dey support LP...

Leyqute:
Use the @button na

You dey fear?

Yes...

Leyqute:
You're just looking for fight where fight no dey. Christo is yet to post but you're expending lots of breath to fight what you think and imagine is his opinion- which actually isn't.

Take a chill pill.

I know my guy ChristoBam.

Chris, if Blanc is brought in as the CEO and Paul Mitchell as the DoF will that be enough given time?

Leyqute:
Who is the worst writer you know of?

Your best writer...🤣🤣🤣

afrodoc2:
You are making it seem like there are no structural problems and these were all fabricated. We know people who were denying that there were structural problems until their idolo Ronaldo co-signed that allegation.

What exactly do you want? That we should praise the new management and executives just for existing? We shouldn’t wait to see if they are actually good at their jobs?

Those who have risen to the defence of ETH have faulted the lack of structure and personnel and they even dropped names to go with it. They make it seem like it is the sole reason for the challenges we face.

Ratcliffe seems to have read from Chrsto and the worst writer I know of and is reportedly bringing in Blanc and Mitchell, names they have dropped here so, ones they're in and have a couple of transfer windows to bring in the right players and with the right mentality, no more excuses for the coach abi we will start changing DoF like we change and CEO every now and then?

Every other match week we struggle to beat the weakest of teams in the league and when you complain about the performance Christo and his guys will be quick to point to the structural deficiency and lack of qualified personnel in these roles as a reason why we are struggling.

Now, we have Ratcliffe coming in with in with investment and the proposal to get club running as have been suggested here and elsewhere by the fans who heap all the blames on the management and what you start reading almost immediately is that it does not matter but rather performance on the pitch. While it comes across as a genuine take, you can't help but wonder why fans are already pessimistic of the changes even though it is what they have clamored for all along and more interesting, it's the names they bandied around that are rumored to be under consideration for the positions.

Can we all agree that the management have gotten it right if the rumors turns out true so we don't go back to blaming them when results on the pitch don't improve?

Leyqute:
How is not being moved by new recruits until they deliver an excuse?? 🤷

Nevermind, Christo will understand.

afrodoc2:
Ok. Personally, i don't think Christobam will even wait 3-4 transfer windows before dumping ETH if he continues underperforming under an improved structure. Let's just wait and see.

The focus now though should be on hoping these new appointments can carry out their own jobs competently. Statements i have read coming out from the club suggests that ETH won't have much time to prove himself before he too gets the sack.

You get the feeling that Ratcliff already has a manager in mind thus won't hesitate to fire ETH at the slightest turn...

afrodoc2:
You were the one that brought ETH into it and accused Leyqute of making potential excuses. That post had nothing to do with ETH. What he meant was clear. It is too early to celebrate new appointments until we start seeing their results. This goes for new players, managers, executives, owners. We have seen too many false dawns to start counting chickens before they hatch.

It seems you keep seeing ETH agenda in any and every post. You need to moderate your hatred. LOL

P.S ETH won't last even the 3-4 transfer windows you mentioned under this new management, if he keeps messing up, so you can relax.

I was not referring to him per se, I was only implying that his post might present an escape route for the likes of Christo who make it seem like once we get the right structure and people in place ETH's team will start dominating the league to an extent.

afrodoc2:
Who does not believe result matters? At the end of the day the result is important, but it is not every time that you get instant results. There is usually a process to it, the difficulty is predicting if an ongoing process will lead to the desired results.

That's why I said in 3-4 transfer windows the team should take shape especially when you consider the names that are being mentioned but if things don't improve then we have all agree that ETH has to go...

Leyqute:
You said my post sounds like an excuse and still agreed with me that results on the pitch is the koko.

What exactly are you trying to say?

An escape route (excuse) for those who believe our inability to dominate games against the likes of Sheffied is down to the clubs structure and unqualified personnel...Christo and his crew.

I am many others here believe result on the pitch matters.

Leyqute:
Very promising but I'm not moved. Na results be the koko- better play, better spirit, better wins, more wins.

We've been disappointed too many times by United.

This is not directed to you because I don't know where you really stand but your post is more like another line of excuse should things remain the same after Ratcliff rings the changes which the likes of Christo have been calling for.

With Blanc as CEO and Paul Mitchell as Sporting Director, I except that after 3-4 windows things should take shape else we will be here to ask questions.

As you said, it's result on the pitch that matters that's why we find it yard to believe that a manager that brought in Antony, Mount, Hojlund, Amrabat, Eriksen and also met a crop of good players will be struggling to dominate a game against the worst teams in the league just because they're fault lines in the management structure and personnel at the club...

As NBA president, what reforms did he introduce to correct the mess?

When he was NBA president, why didn't he voice out?

I really don't know why we are so unlucky. Sancho was supposed to be a creative force front he wings.

Martial has not lived up to expectation..

Di Maria was here for just a season...

Pogba was talented but we spent so much buying keys to unluck him...

Greenwood that was looking promising managed to mess himself up.

I agree with De Gea, we are cursed.

afrodoc2:
great or getat. Na so your vex bad reach? Haha.

It is just 2 bad sha that we have been looking for a right winger for nearly a decade.

Thunder fire Swift keyboard...Getat it is...

Both Sancho and Antony should getat!

Two useless players we spent so much to get.

satelliteDISH:
Why reward him with ingratitude after winning the league title for you.

It was Luciano Spalletti that guided them to the Serie A triumph last season and not Garcia.

bamasite2:
The foundation of the strike is faulty!
The right time to strike was when the subsidy was removed in a [i]hurry[/[i] without enough measures to cushion the effects.

And the floating of the dollar, which although is a good thing, the masses are not ready for it,.and most.dont understand it. Because what they understand are the price tags!

Well said. This NLC guy is a clown.

He doesn't represent the interest of workers. When everyone expected them to square up against the government after the removal of subsidy and during the fight for an increase in the minimum wage, they collected bribes and backtracked but now that the system dealt with him, he wants to drag the entire workforce into his personal battle.

Workers should see him for who he is.

What's happening in Bayelsa?

Was the election inconclusive?

KingTom:
Not so with the Benue people you mentioned earlier, the Tivs lord over the Idomas and Igede just like the Igalas used to Lord over the Ebira, Okun, Bassa and co of Kogi. One might actually place himself in the shoes of the typical Tiv Governor and Tiv indigenes and imagine the consequences of handing power over to the Idoma, will the Tiv after years of being in the seat of power, trust the Idoma to hand the power back after 8 years? Will the Idoma not also declare that they must also rule for '600' years before they return power back to the Tiv? These are some of the issues I'm sure that are prevalent in their minds. It's unfortunate truly, very unfortunate.

Tiv own is too much. I understand they have the numbers but it is really not fair. The likes of David Mark, Abba Moro and co can only dream of becoming senators or ministers and nothing more because they're not Tivs

afrodoc2:
Bookmarked as both documentary and exculpatory evidence.

Today they'll be lamentations and gnashing of teeth here.

Jackson should better fake injury else na him head everything go land.

KingTom:
I won't lie, your Cross River people should be a model to other states on tribal equality and fairness. I've watched with keen interest and I've come to love your three zone rotation system, what strikes me in particular is the fact that if anyone from a zone that is not next in line tries to contest, he/she will ne disgraced at the polls even in their own localities as we saw with our sports minister Owan Enoh and Eyo Ekpo in 2019 and with our Caterpillar Sandy earlier this year

It's how it should be, power should be rotated among the 3 senatorial districts and if in those districts they is some kind of divide, it should be factored in when deciding who gets what.

I am all for competence and careless about who is in power but we have not reached that level in our climes. So, let it rotate since everyone is there for his/her people. At least chop today and let the other man chop tomorrow and the next one, the day after tomorrow since all our leaders do is to go there and focus on their immediate tribe/friends/families.

Tiv in benue

Tiv people are oppressing other tribes in that state.
