talktimi:It's only in kano that you have a high brow extensive development area in the city in Dawanau named NEW ENUGU . In this new city within kano mainly the citizens of SE are building like there is no tomorrow. You will think you are in Maitama in Abuja when you go to new Enugu in kano. The plots are given to them at no real cost by Kwankwaso but here nobody will mention it. Those who cannot have the piece of land to build even one room in the east building mansions surrounded by limitless courtyards in kano. When we know that northerners are living under constant harassment in the south East - only recently their market in Onitsha was completely destroyed. I don't know why igbos are so bloody minded and will always lie thru their teeth to claim that they are victims. What sad situation when you have to live with such scam. |

It is surprising to see individuals citing the construction of roads and bridges as the yardstick of a good leader. What does it entails to sign a contract for road construction? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. There's no rocket science about it. A five year old can award big contracts when given the opportunity, does that makes him a good leader? Absolutely not. Then who is a good leader? Is it the one who boast and advertises himself via live broadcast to showcase his achievements? Is a good leader the one who utilize every means possible to propagate themselves through exaggerated lies about the development in their states? I think not. Then who is a good leader? A question many Nigerian don't even know the answer. For far too long have Nigerians been brainwashed into thinking that good governance is about building roads. For far too long have Nigerians limit themselves into low grade humans where everything goes as long as it has a physical manifestation. This is very unfortunate. To me, a good leader is someone who is policy driven. Policy driving in the sense that he/she does not just lay down policies for the present but also for the future. A good leader prepares policies that would usher in massive development in all sectors of the economy even when he/she leaves office. A good leader will make sure all impediments to economic development are getting rid of through sound policies. Show me someone who can establish mechanisms that would provide and strengthen our institutions to carry out their functions without interference and I will show you a good leader. The person who comes close to my definition of a good leader is non other but Goodluck Jonathan. Like him or hate him, this guy is policy driven. He's laying down policies that would usher in long-term economic development. Just look at the automobile policy, the rail sector, the Agricultural sector, etc. No one can deny the changes going on in this sectors. Why? Because of policy formulation. Our Automobile industry policy had already began yielding fruits with indigenous auto companies coming on board. I would rather vote someone who's policy driven to an individual who thinks that building bridges would solve Nigeria's problems. The era of big manism and personality as ingredients of a good leader must not be allowed to hold sway in our polity. 4 Likes 1 Share |

barcanista:see as you used tarpaulin to cover the truth SHIOOR Ok, did Buhari ask Muslims to vote only Muslim presidential candidates during one of his numerous failed election adventures YES or NO ? http://allafrica.com/stories/200201210250.html Is sabon gari a part of Kano state YES or NO ? Is a governor expected to develop ALL parts of a state he governs irrespective of whether non indigenes reside there more YES or NO ? Stop standing logic on its head in your I'll advised quest to propagate nonsense. What is bad is bad PERIOD PS, point out where Gej's 2011 election campaigns was based on tribal/religious sentiments or forever shut your dung hole that you use in spewing lies. I didn't vote for Gej 2011 but I can't lie against him and I certainly won't condone bullying for any reason whatsoever 1 Like |

Some in Enugu , Calabar and Aba with one or two in jos and Kano. There was no drug manufacturer in Katsina state where Buhari came from. But Buhari's aim was to strengthen quality essential drug manufacture in Nigeria and it didn't have to be in katsina. It was a success that none of the later leaders chose to follow up or to replicate. GEJ doesn't give a damn about quality drugs or their manufacture in Nigeria. |

Most of Aregbe's projects are FG projects, which he'll be reimbursed for but yet take the glory for it. Propaganda!

Sibabasibaba1:2nd Point of correction 2. The south east was never marginalized by PTF , the only area they had problem was roads and the reason is Igbo greed. Each zone of the country has a trustee representative on PTF Board. Buhari advised that all road construction be done by well known international companies like Julius Berger. All the trustees , chief Rufus Giwa for SW , Professor Clark for SS ( not Edwin Clark ) , chief D.B. Zang for North Central, Yahaya Gusau for NW , Ahmad Talib for NE agreed for that but Professor Chimere Ikoku for SE insisted on bringing his own local contractors to do the SE roads. They never did it and Ikoku was eventually murdered. Please go and study the history well.even as Buhari was trying to make further provision to replace those Ikoku's contractors , PTF was scrapped. 1 Like |

Anybody who has gone to or stayed In kano knows that Sabon gari is not developed at all!

Sibabasibaba1:Point of Correction no 3 3. The money PTF was using was a taxation for purchase of petrol at the pump by motorists. Any body who buys a liter of petrol at petrol station was paying about 3.5 kobo per liter into PTF account. So it's wrong to say the money was from certain regions or states. More fuel is bought by motorists in lagos than in Bayelsa or akwa Ibom. So lagos citizens through purchase of petrol contributed more to the fund than those states.we are advising the government to use similar taxation on mobile telephone call payments to finance development projects.

CAN WE COUNT HOW MANY TIMES SOUTHERNERS ARE ATTACKED IN THE NORTH? Remember Reihand Bonke riots of 1991? Remember the behading of Akaluka in 1995? Remember the killing of Yorubas in Kano in 1999? I guess Matatsine was Igbo. I guess Boko Haram are Igbo. I guess El Zaki Zaki was Igbo. Do you still remember the killing of innocent people because of a catoon in far away Denmark? Do you still remember the actions of Buhari boys after Buhari lost election in 2011? You seem to have selective amnesia. Your people kill even without provocation. You can accuse the Igbos of anything but not treating their guests badly. I will wait for your link to when Igbos woke up one day and started harrassing and killing non-Igbos in the SE because of a cartoon in Cameroon or a beauty peagent or a religious crusade. I hope you know that such links about northerners abound. YOU TALK ABOUT IGBOS WHO CANNOT BUILD IN THE SE BUILDING MANSIONS IN UR NEW ENUGU IN KANO. HAHAHAHAHA You sure need to travel and see. If I do not know much about the Igbo, I know, at least, that you are not regarded as anything if you don't build a house in your village. Any body you see building in your NEW ENUGU has a better mansion as his country home. Ever heard of Abriba or Awka Etiti? Visit these VILLAGES and come back let's debate. 2 Likes |

But seriously, did you read what you typed here? The almighty Buhari of PTF with absolute execitive powers, the ever strict and rigid no-nonesense Buhari who does not tolorate corruption gave orders and Ikoku defied him and brought his cronnies? So Buhari is such a weakling? Please don't tell a lie against the dead. Meanwhile we are not even talking about roads done by reputable or non reputable construction firms here. The point is that the SE did not even see those done by non reputable local contractors. To be fair, the Abriba- Uzuakoli Rd in Abia, the only one done by PTF, was solid when I plied it around 1999. I do not know whether it was local or foreign firm that did it. I have not been there since then so I do not know how it is now. Meanwhile know that Buhari was the person approving PTF contracts. He was the alpha and omega of PTF. Not any trustee. Can you please tell me the PTF road in Akwa Ibom? 1 Like |

To answer your question, yes I have passed through Abriba from umuahia on my way to arochukwu. ------------------------------------------------------- Ever heard of Alhaji Umaru Altine aka Baba Ngiri? He was the first ELECTED mayor of Enugu and he won an Igbo man in the election. So, if a norther can win election in the heart of Igboland I wonder what you mean by hospitality. In the 1988 zero party election, Alhaji Bako contested for the chairmanship of the then Umuahia local government area and came second. He was an Umuahia-based millionaire. The problem with many of you is that you think non indigenes do not live in the SE. I am from the South-South but with an Igbo mother. I was born and bred in Aba and I know that there are many non-indigenes from all parts of Nigeria living 'large' in the SE. In Ariaria market, there is a line called 'Yoruba/Lagos line'. It's just our Yoruba brothers that are in charge there and many of them have lived in Aba many years and rarely visit home. One of my classmates in primary school was Funke Adebayo. There was also Toyin Adejuwon. These ones were more Igbo than many Igbos. So, you sure do not know about the Igbo and hospitality. And hospitality and Northerners are not best of friends. Of course, you know that evidence aboud for this. I have not been to new Enugu. But I have been to Kano-perhaps to interior places you have never been. I have been to Rimin Gado, Karei, Dawokin Tofa, Gwarzo, Kabo LGAs etc. I have lived in Lamido Crescent in Nasarawa GRA with my elder bros. But that was about 15 years ago. Bar the violence, Kano and the whole north are good places to live. But killing people without any provocation cannot be hospitality. Now, if you have been to ( or passed through) Abriba, you cannot be saying Igbos build mansions they cannot build in their states. 1 Like |
