No ideology, no vision, just to survive. Well, who can blame them?! None of the parties have a really clear principle or unique manifesto. |
You mean And also, majority of these artistes going into politics are from APC states. |
Ikwokrikwo:Okay |
Ikwokrikwo:How is switching ON of street lights a ceremony? |
Demdem:Same thought here. I don't think they're referring to mile 12-Ikorodu express. Because construction is still on there, and I don't think it has reached the level of lightening. |
IgrigiAPC:Are we even supposed to be mentioning tribes at all?! ![]() In a country of 170 million people, and more than 80million youths, we can only boast of FOUR Nigerians. Hope you know that in every 5 Africans, 1 is a Nigerian, can same be said of the list? Kenya plus SA's population is not up to ours, whereas they account for more than of half of the list. We no dey shame for this country at all. ![]() |

braintext:It's not a renderd image, it's real. Look at the kerbs and the road in the pictures. The detailed imperfection in the construction is obvious. Rendered images usually have perfect finishing. |
Could be Nigeria's best random hit song since they split. |
I think the issue of taxation by states should be looked into by the federal lawmakers and enforce a clear method of taxing we citizens. Unspecified method of taxating and the percentage to be remitted as tax from people's businesses is what's leading to misunderstanding between the people and state government. State governments who are eager to increase their IGR in order to meetup with their people's demand due to the insufficient monthly allocation from the FG are usually forced to dive into multiple taxation. This case is not the first, same scenario played in Ogun state, between the state tax officials and covenant university. Some basic schools that couldn't meet up with the amount they were to pay as tax were forced to close down sometimes ago in Osun state. All these should be settled at once by the lawmakers with consideration of the people first, to avoid future wahala. |
Desola:Even with the road construction and beautification from Ketu to Ikorodu? ![]() The roundabout will be reconstructed along with the road construction nearing completion there. Abi you no see the rendered image of how the final look of Ikorodu 'll be on a street board there? which already the area is taking the look gradually. And sis Desola, malo underestimate votes ti Ikorodu ni at all. Close to a million inhabitants. Dabiri Erewa is well loved by the people of Ikorodu, based on her performance at the house of rep, on bills sponsored and her clean record, it won't be bad making her deputy to Ambode. |
The main challenge this guy has is if the PDP presents Agbaje, but Koro won't let that happen. |
I pray Sagamu-Ikorodu is also remembered like Benin-Ore and Ibadan-Oyo road someday. That road is the most horrible FG road I've ever seen. |
anonimi: konjakonja:Oga Anoni... this is someone from that region accusing the Op of lying about the said road being the only Federal road linking the two states, but couldn't dispute the fact that it's a federal road linking Abia and Akwa-Ibom state. |
anonimi:Don't let your support for GEJ stop you from being objective when you should. We all know interstate roads are usually under FG. |
This is not just about Fayemi, but Nigerians usual way of ignoring or forgetting matters that should be thoroughly dealt with, the moment the accused is out of office. The noise about Stella's armoured car died the moment she was sacked. Unfortunately, Fayemi was lucky to be out of office before this evil act was exposed, that's why those who should be asking questions are not saying anything. Same reason why those found guilty of rigging elections have never been punished, but only sacked from office if found guilty. |
If Gbenga Daniel had started all the projects he has seen under Amosun while he was the governor for eight years, there won't be need for ACN(now APC) to takeover. But hell no, he and his crooks were too busy with chop-chop politics, and now is the time they wanna work. Omo Ogun, please let Amosun complete all the works he started all by himself.
|
Omirin said he had a background of political fidelity anchored on progressive democratic practice and so would not abandon principle in pursuit of selfish agenda diametrically opposed to the ethos of his political belief.So we still have politicians with ideology left in this country!! Gives one little hope. |
at these countries.
