bestviewer: Show us present state of orlu and owerri. All the roads okorosha started since 2011 has been abandoned. Contractors are not paid. Show us roads in rural imo state. Show us what okorosha is doing on health sector, show us what he doing on education, show us what he is doing on employment generation. All the roads okorosha painted were built by Mbakwe.

Lemme tell you imo state is still in the woods. Until they get an Obi they will remain stagnant as far as development is concern. Obi has touched all the sectors: education, health, urban/rural development, employment generation etc. Obi achieved all these without borrowing a dime, and the state remains the least indebted state in Nigeria. Can you beat that!

Open a thread and show us what okorosha achieved with the 70billion loan+federal allocation+13 derivation. Show us now!

what we need in imo is an ngige NOT an obi!

the sensible question to ask BEFORE you compare is what type of power plant did lagos build?gas fired? Diesel fired? Did they have to buy land for the project? What type is the federal gov building? These things impact on cost.@op ...we can all key in to a particular party's ideology without necessarily losing our common sense.

very dishonest people.so 150 billion for a small number of people should not be a big deal especially when they seat on their a.s.ses all day talking rubbish.

lobell: This is a good move by the FG or whoever is responsible for it. But, I see them making the same mistakes they made with the French when PAN was established.
The problem with this sort of arrangement is that there is no technology transfer from the manufacturers who have the technical know-how to the country where they are hoping to make profits. And I see this happening in a lot of African countries.
My take is that they should not just come and establish assembly plants but they should build manufacturing plants where down to the last nut is made in Nigeria. That way, the factory workers/technicians pick up skills they can use to further develop the country if/when they leave these companies for indigenous ones in the future. PAN was established around the same time with a similar company in India by the same Peugeot of France, but Indians being smarter than we are/were insisted that everything must be made in India...several years down the road there was transfer of technology and today India makes their own cars. Another story I cant elaborate on is how the Chinese phone manufacturers got the technological know-how from the westerners and added their own innovations making the originals look bad. They have been and are still selling 'chinko' phones with crazy configurations which we all rush to buy - Threads about Tecno phones has been front page these past weeks)
Until we wake up and ask for 'the bread' from these companies and not just 'crumbs' in exchange for the billions of dollars they stand to reap, then we have a very long way to go in terms of development.
My two kobos worth!

god bless you.this is one of the best comments i ve read here.the post before yours was also good.i dont know why our government do not think things through before they make policies.a country experiences true growth when its people run its economy.you are trying to discourage capital flight, when all youve done is just SHORTEN THE DISTANCE our capital has to fly.smh

ACM10: pls güyz, what's the latest on NARD strike?

the strike continues!

mojeer678: @phantom, I would not have bothered with dignifying your pedestrian retort with a response, but I reconsidered that you would actually be in need of enlightenment.

This is a matured topic seeking a robust debate on how could it be possible to have a paradox existing, as it were, by the oft-repeated mantra that 'Lagos is Working'.

Students of propaganda know that once you repeat a lie so many times, it sinks to a level in the psyche of the targeted populace that it starts to be like the truth.

To the discerning, a lie is still a lie, no matter how well you garnished it. For all I know, you're an employee or beneficiary of Lagos State government and you feel you must rise to the occasion by comparing oranges with apples. How is the thread 'silly'? if I may ask.

Is it reasonable to have a clean room in a dirty house? What makes a house? Can you differentiate an acorn from the oak it sprouted from?

If you live in a dirty environment or neighbourhood but your own room is well cleaned as your flawed logic would have us believe, then it doesn't matter that eventually, the risks & exposure to deadly diseases and infections would soon make nonsense of your clinically pure room? Does that even make sense to you?

I can give you a list of areas where Lagos State is deficient in despite the creative use of the mass media to paint a pleasant picture. This intellectual dishonesty is why I made this thread. If you feel otherwise, come with facts and figures and we can have a nice and respectful debate not resorting to ad hominem insults.

i am sorry you feel insulted.didnt mean to.it came out wrong.i understand you.but it is indeed possible to have a paradox.why are people like BRF , amaechi,akpabio or chime the talk of the nation as regards governance? Why are they outstanding? Its because they are creating a PARADOX. the rot of the larger nation WILL DEFINITELY be visible BUT TO AN EXTENT.i am sorry once again for the insults.didnt mean to.

sir cardinal: I lives in elepranwo area in ph and we have never had staedy light. Sometimes we go up to 2 weeks without light.if a particular area in ph is having regularlight does not mean that ph is having a 24 hours light.I think it should be a genaral thing if really our govt is working and functioning well.





Sir cardinal

make una ask for road first, light go show later.

faoni572: Eliozu / Eliogbolo have not seen light for some time now and they are part of phc

agreed.i stay at eliogbolo, rumuodomaya.its not up to three hours a day/three to four days a week.

joshuapharm: If you dont know anything about pharmacy, i wont be the one to lecture you, if you go through my posts on NL, i'd done some enlightening on other threads, not now.. I need not push this further with you.. U're prolly a medical student in ur 200level or so.. We can resume this talk when you get inducted.. When laalamed and co bring their points, then we'd argue.. Great people, pls ignore this boy!!! Have a goodnight rest.

o please! i did your whole five-year course compressed into one-pharmacology in my year 4 and that was eleven years ago.no need to sound all cocky.you aint that special.

joshuapharm: Let me help your reasoning here.. Healthcare in ur statement shud be hospital. Healthcare is very wide, that's why I feel everyone shud ignore you from now on, cos u seem not to know what healthcare means. Just to let you know, healthcare doesn't stop in the hospital.

Then back to the original statement. It's a stupid one, I don't blame you for comparing healthcare to government where supposedly docs'll be the president shey? I blame Nigeria for the way they've limited us and the nurses, if things were to be done as it is in the west, then u'd just shurrup.

okay how do i say this now....your job ENDS in REMINDING me about drug-drug interactions.IF you dont like it,go ahead and inject yourself with aminophylline, PUSH and just end the misery.no one deserves to read a boring five year course and still come out and play THIRD fiddle.

soundtrack from THE GODFATHER

silly thread.is it not possible to have a very clean room in a very dirty house? Does it not depend on who owns that particular room?

if healthcare was a monarchy or government,pharmacists would just be special advisers.no offence! Lol

[quote author=on a good day]you are just foolishness personified[/quote]there is a reason why you are called a paramed.deal with it.not your fault your iq na single digit.dont take it out on me.ask your parents.

i laugh in mandarin! Doctors don dey open eye small small.thank god they ve realized that nma is a body of politicians who just look out for themselves.gov must be ready to fund residency training or be ready to have their b.alls squeezed.developing healthcare is not just about buying equipment but also developing the much needed man power.in ard we trust!

Leopantro: so because her daughter was killed we should look over her defects? a woman who sacked a doctor on the claim that he was deaf? this is an individual that went through university, became a doctor, sees and treats patients and was certified to have a mild hearing defect by a professor of nsuka? a director that stopped a doctor's salary because the doctor's past girlfriend reported to her that the said doctor was owing her 20k? the same woman that said there was no money but recently paid consultants arrears from "overtime pay"? that sacked a doctor two days after he got married because the doctor was employed by the prior director which she ousted? that insults her fellow and junior doctors in the presence of nurses and other non medical staff? that has a book of records of all doctors and staffs against her by spies working for her?
now I ask you, which conscience?

you dey mind the i.diota? If she is so wonderful then i wish he marries someone like her.

[quote author=on a good day]Can you tell us why you people want the woman to be sacked despite the fact that her daughter was mistaken for her and was assassinated by God knows who some times ago....where are your conscience[/quote]she should be sacked.this has nothing to do with conscience and if you think ard is all bark and no bite, go and ask what happened to the cmd, cmac and d.a at fmc irrua

are they sure? Hope this is not fake?

just seeing it now on cnn

guonno: They will keep crashing in the west until they leave enugu international airport alone, period.

you are a fool.if you are truly igbo i disown you and wish ten times this on you and yours.

confirmed on AIT

lord a mercy.threads are opening up on it.looks like its true

texazzpete: Majority of Nigerian car owners own ONE car, not two. You people are making up statistics.
You can only levy taxes on cars when you have put in sufficient public transport density that driving becomes a massive luxury. That's the case in the city of London where the bus and rail system is so robust and dense that it's often the faster means of getting around. it will take decades for Nigeria to get to that level.

The only way this your harebrained statistic would hold true is if you insinuate that the middle and lower classes have so much money that they buy multiple cars.You also fail to explain how - if i owned two cars - the two cars can be on the roads at the same time. Has cloning technology hit Nigeria yet?

you could have drivers running errands for you with two other cars.so it is possible.

hope this is not true o! God help us!

Ngwakwe: I was made to understand that Asari Dokubo is a common illiterate and a social misfit. A militant fighting literally for his own pocket.

If Asari can compile such information (irrespective of its flaws) as written in the news article of this thread, then his handlers are really doing a good job and can as well help him to be a Senator in 2015.

will you be surprised if he gets into the senate? I wouldnt be.

pot dey call kettle black.nigeria is a failed state otherwise people like this fool would have been beheaded a long time ago. You know a country is finished when pressmen are falling over themselves to hold a microphone to people like asari.
