MrRichmond:
Nigerians, look at the people you queue up under sun to vote for every 4 years

Which century una go finally get sense

If sense was that cheap Nigeria will not be like this. Nothing is ever going to change. Our belief system has been eroded by monetization. Go to Obasa's constituency and speak ill of him, it is the same poor voters that will use plank and bottle to massage your head. grin

Guy, leave Nigerian electorates alone o, suffer never tire them. grin

LASUTH is arguably the best teaching hospital in Nigeria.
It's better than LUTH and UCH.

There is no equipment they don't have, including MRI.

There's no hospital where patients don't die, even in the USA.
Most of these patients don't report their cases early. Some have gone to waste their time at various private hospitas before reporting at LASUTH.

Stop comparing your backward region to South West. South West is ahead by far.

can you please explain how LASUTH is the best teaching hospital in Nigeria?

if it is that good, how come tinubu has to run to France every time he needs medical attention?

does LASUTH have cancer treatment facilities?

if it does, can you please name them?

Even in the corporate world, when you reach a certain level, you get a car and a driver. At that point, your salary is enough to get that for you but your company will still give you.

Nothing unusual here!

how is it not unusual?

Is civil service the same thing as the corporate world?

do the same rules that apply in the corporate world apply in civil service?

is the state house of assembly a company or a one man business where a person buys cars for his wives?

How would successful politicians ever believe that a common man in Nigeria is suffering when they keep talking in billions? At that stage their mental state would only consider poverty as a myth been made up by people who oppose them.

Yoruba will leave this problem and focus in what is happening in Rivers state and South East.

They will attack otti, Mbah, fubara etc while Obasa is looting Lagos state funds with his concubines and his wife's.

Nigerian problem is majorly the mismanagement of public funds. We have a very expensive government system that supports the wastage of public funds.

Yoruba people will attack you. They would say it's not your money. Go to your east.

Meranda did the right thing and Obasa is a clown. Are his two wives members of the Assembly? We should be encouraging our local industry, enough of the unnecessary importation. Although, I know corruption and cronyism influenced the award of that Dubai contract, hence his fury.

Are Niger Delta people not fighting themselves? What are they fighting over? Is not the same oil money from the Niger Delta they are fighting over?

Which ever side of the divide you belong to, whether you are with wike or fubara, it's all about public funds, oil money from the Niger Delta.

Allow those who are fighting themselves in different states to continue fighting. After all, they don't know you exist, they are not defending your interest except theirs.

The entire retiree teachers pension funds no reach 5bn talk more of 7bn.

A teacher serves for 35 years and ends up getting 3M naira as gratuity.

Here we have lawmakers spending 7bn naira on official vehicles, what happened to the last set of vehicles they got?

That 3M is not paid once ooo they pay them 30k every month what a useless country

Both the one that approved for 7bn and the one that executed for 5bn, a sillly project of wasting money meant for the people. both of them are idiots and bad manager of resources. Both of them should not be found near leadership positions as they have shown a weak and useless sense of resource management

Well said.

That #7 billion would go a long way in equipping our hospitals in Lagos State.

It would go a long way in equipping schools in Lagos State.

It would go a long way in equipping skill acquisition centres in Lagos State.

It would go a long way in creating employment opportunities in Lagos State.

is well my dear

1. Politicians since time immemorial have been receiving official cars since time immemorial. From the Legislative arm to the Executive arm. Even the Judicial arm who are not even politicians receive it when at certain level.
It didn’t start today, it is very usual!

2. No, civil service is not same as corporate world.

3. Many rules that apply in the corporate world don’t apply in the civil service but still, there are similarities is many of their rules. E.g Salaries, Allowance and benefits, security at certain levels, official cars and drivers at certain levels, etc.

4. I have never made a comment so far as to the rationality of that!
