False equivalence .

The state of Benue is battling serious insecurity and the governor himslef confirmed at least 8 LGA 's are at the forefront of insecurity issue in the state .

Commissioning a tennis court under this present circumstance is just a case of misplaced priority . Between me and u, the amount expended on construction and commissioning of the tennis court can buy at least 2 patrol van for the state security agency to at least provide usable information for police , army and other federal security agencies .

People commend Amotekun in other parts of South west and LSNC in Lagos for their ancillary services to the security agencies . The respective governors invest in them. Nothing concern Benue state with a recreational tennis court at this point while people are scattered in IDP camps all over the state .

The excuse that the governor doesn't want to go outside his budget doesn't even make sense because most of the state budgets in Nigeria are financed by borrowings sef.

Dont comparison no even work like that.

El Rufai already raised Kaduna IGR to enviable heights before leaving office.

Last year, Kaduna made 82 billion naira from IGR.

Uba Sani should get its act together. Kaduna is among the highest state with IGR before he took over, he should explain to the citizens of the state how the IGR of the states has dried up.

.....everything is on paper bro. Uba Sanni and El-Rufai are/were close, hence if it ain't really tough for him, he wouldn't have come out to say what he said.

Guess you remember a time Oyetola was receiving less down 5 figures as FAAC?! If dem want borrow, make dem borrow responsibly.

This should be the point of debt to be honest. Financing Projects that ultimately boosts IGR/Revenue to the point where the DSCR becomes very high and sustainable

Although there also needs to be some level of workings to determining the optimal debt coverage ratio. I know a few people who's worked with El Rufai at a consulting level and I will be surprised if he doesnt know this.

But like they say, for politicians, the goal is corruption so nothing may surprise me

No think am like that. Federal allocation is still revenue to the states and FG. They count it as revenue.

The bolded is what Uba Sani explained here. Those guys have to pay back the debt and they must pay using revenue of the state.

If you factor in the exchange rate then you will understand why some of them have to borrow. They are paying almost 3 times of what was borrowed

All the states in Nigeria including FCT have foreign and domestic debts wei them the pay.

The Arabic word “mubarak” translates as “blessed,” while “Eid” means feast, festival or celebration, so “Eid Mubarak” can literally mean “blessed celebration” or “blessed feast”, although it is widely interpreted as simply wishing somebody a “happy Eid”.
English is not the only language in the world and there are Christians who speak languages other than English.

The man is in the middle East and he is using the salutation they use over there.

Or do you think Egyptian Christians say happy Easter?

The irony is that Christianity is an Abrahamic Middle Eastern religion, so why are you tying English to it?

Na so IGR take dey dry up ni, all within 9 months? The IGR came about from businesses and machinery that were put in place and these things are not what would just up and vanish within 9 months, so it's either those IGR numbers were being manipulated somehow, or whatever IGR is being generated is being swallowed by the debt El-Rufai left behind.

That said I don't think complaints are the way to go, Uba Sani is APC just like El-Rufai, and I believe would have been in the know of things if he wasn't even part of the government on some level, no be im suppose dey complain.
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Theflint1(m): 4:47pm On Mar 31, 2024
I seriously wonder how a state that scores low or at best averagely on practically every HDI would magically start generating one of the highest IGRs, these things are often not divorced from themselves.

English is a language just as Arabic is just as Yoruba and Spanish and Twi and Fon are.

And they all have their variants of "happy celebration" or salutations in different dialects. And it has nothing to do with the predominant religions in places where these languages are mainly spoken- be it African Traditional Religion or Catholicism or Polytheism or Voodooism.


That something is Arabic doesn't make it Islamic, so religious greetings aren't only valid when it's in English. Latin probably has more claim to being more "sacred" than English is. In fact, so many old languages like Aramaic and Hebrew that existed long before English was ever formed and through which the Christianity we practice nowadays were intimately practiced.

Right. Me saying "aku odun ajinde" as a Yoruba babe is less conventional than in English, another man's tongue abi? grin grin

Abi conventional by whose standard? When its not as if I'm promoting Obatala worship by saying "odun ajinde".


Abi you'll say Bibles written in Yoruba and Pidgin aren't valid? How will you draw people to the light of Christ if you're saying the language which they understand and can relate to isn't 'conventional?' Is Christ's salvation a white man's project? Lol.

No. You mistook my point. You either speak English or you speak Arabic or Yoruba or whatever you want to speak. But don't mix languages. For example don't say Ekun Salah or Happy Eid. People won't understand you clearly and that can lead to a misunderstanding as it is now between you and I.
Moslem fasting will end in a few days. How do you wish Moslems for the celebration that follows?
