The scale of destruction of lives and properties in Kano was enormous and no any other attack is comparable to it. The man hail from Kano, a pure coincidence. The constitutional right of CBN to donate, I don't know. But you definitely can't question the moral right of the CBN to do so. All of you criticizing the gesture are religious bigots. That is the peak of religious intolerance we're talking about. If this donation has been to a state in your region, will all of you be crying the same way you're doing now? These are the people that were defending Erastus and Ibru then, now they just discovered that they're in the same league with Sanusi. Hypocrites.

Get ur facts right, it was reported that about 350 people were killed in Benue when Tiv and Fulani herdsmen clashed, while about 185 were killed in Kano. Is CBN only interested in BH victims?

Am feeling at home here, I'v really learnt alot. Jarus, we seem to have a lot in common.

Abeg which state is he from again? I don't think he got it right this time. There has been countless bombings some even stone-throw to his office at ABJ yet nothing was done, untill KANO.

If only the govt can create an enabling environment for this guy, who knows we may see other serious enterprenuers take a queue from him and resurrect ur dormant manufacturing sector. BUT TRIBALISTIC INSTINCT WILL SURELY SURFACE WHEN HIS NAME IS MENTIONED IN FEC MEETINGS. GOD SAVE NIGERIA!

Arysexy:
pls how much is innoson saloon car? i need to patronise him. i saw his auto sale branch in lagos, around ijesha but they only displayed buses. Good moves.

I just noticed ur post. I was at his website bt it seems he does not produce saloon cars, am not sure though.

For those who said he needs to open a branch in Lagos, He already did that. His branch is along Oshodi Apapa Expressway close to Ijesha Bus stop.

Great news, So those old Policemen men (Ringi and Biu) lost their jobs for nothing. Greed kills!!

yorke:
kudos to them, if not for post ume, i wouldn't have been a graduate.

Same wt me, How do u explain someone scoring 290 in JAMB but 190 in PUME?

kbdrim:
There is a very thin line between confidence and arrogance

You'r right but spotting such tiny difference is usually a challenge to many.

stormm:
@Jarus, I think it is better to differentiate his political views from his position as Governor of CBN. For me, he talks too much, has a large ego and is part of the cabal that Nigeria does not need now. Check his antecedents at First Bank, he was 'Emperor Showman'. It is the same I-too-know attitude and showmanship that is the trademark of his tenure at the CBN. So much gra gra.

I'v come to understand that most smart and intelligent men are more often accused of being proud, I believe its more of self confidence than pride.

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO link=topic=867045.msg10162159#msg10162159 date=1328825725]^^^Phew!! (sigh of relief) Thank God say we no carry last for this one. The mind boggles . Hang on a minute----- just noticed kebbis' own is not yet ready . Fingers crossed Ebonyi just might beat them, but i ain't holding my breath. This Ebonyi just dey fall our hand, walahi.

^^^Na you talk am oh, my brother. Serious questions need to be asked about what efforts have been made in that state (that houses the two massive Commercial and Industrial Cities of Onitsha and Nnewi) to improve its revenue base, as a budget of N67 Billion for a State in dire need of development like Anambra is just Pathetic!!![/quote]I personally wonder why Anambra should present the smallest budget in the entire federation.

Sinju:
A more useful data will be to look at what the State and Federal governments actually spend on capital and recurrent expenditures at the end of each fiscal year.

To budget is one thing, To stick to the budget is another thing

I really wish we can get access to such info but the only problem we might encounter could be manipulation of data by the governors. Is there no Office that does such work in the country?

If we decide to rank our Governors, it could appear like this

@OP I think your figures, especially in the case of Akwa Ibom, are incorrect. Peruse the article below http://www.newswatchngr.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3855&Itemid=32

I noticed it after posting, check out my second comment below

Correction
Akwa Ibom gave 83.8% and 16.7% to capital and recurrent expenditures respectively thereby making it the most development oriented Governor in Nigeria by my own accessment.

Whats your source btw and which state in Nigeria is called yola?

Thanks for this analysis.
Any chance you could get Lagos budget since 1978 even without breakdown to capital vs recurrent?
That would be extra nice of you.

Its possible, its just a matter of time.

I still find it difficult to understand why the FG has continously given us a budget that is more interested in maintaining and keeping civil servants happy than being development oriented. Considering that the FG and our state govts run similar structure, I still wonder why the states are able to devote a very high percentage of their budget (e.g Rivers and Imo) to capital expenditure which the FG is seeing as being "impossible".

The FG has continually gaven us a budget that is far below our expectation year in year out with recurrent expenditure running to as high as 70%. Considering that the state govts run a similar structure with our FG why has it been so difficult for our FG to cut down its recurrent expenditure to atleast 50% since some state govts (e.g Rivers and Imo) presented a budget with a recurrent expenditure as low as 26.4 and 27% respectively. Are our state Governors more development conscious than our FG?

Kudos to the SSS and FG. Its a matter of time and BH will enter the history book.

Will Boko Mallams also deny this? Maybe their Commisioners of information on NL will help them out.

Soludo was celebrated but later discarded by Nigerians but was taken up by a foreign institution.

Nuhu Elrufai was celebrated but later discarded by Nigerians but was taken up by a foreign country.

Oby Ezekwesili was celebrated but later discarded but was taken up by a foreign institution.

Now Ngozi who was celebrated is about to be discarded for the second time.

I pity my countrymen, A people that disgrace its own prophets should not cry foul when calamity comes calling.

I think Nigeria should be interested in uprooting the root of corruption in the system rather than be envious of her few successful citizens.

What has the class she graduated with got to do with the current situation in the country if not envy, Why have our great First Class professors that are busy sleeping with students across our campuses not been able to achieve half of her achievements both within and outside the country?

The FG spent 4.8b to Educate the children of about 100 Diplomats but spent just 396b to educate the children of about 120million Nigerians in 2011.
ALL MEN ARE EQUAL BUT SOME MEN ARE TRUELY MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.

He may not be as educated as Awo and Zik but he is certainly not an illiterate.

That position is too big for a former militant, What does the FG expect other criminally minded activists to think? I hope the FG has not shot itself in the leg viz a viz Boko Mallams.

Topic: Northern Monarchs Meet Over Al-mustapha

Question: Am I surprised?
Answer: No

Question: Why am I not surprised?
Answer: Because they are fully aware of what it takes to bring about a WILD-WILD north.

Question: What is the essence of the meeting?
Answer: To review their operational modalities probably because the FG seem to have changed its tactice for an enduring unslaught against their foot soldiers (BH).

Question: What is the way forward?
Answer: Introduce an element of suspicion in their gathering and get them to fight themselves then and only then will you hear them vomit the attrocities they'v commited against this nation.

Great news, hope he wouldn't be given 3yrs by the court after all these his attrocities.
