Osu yeeboe, Fayemi lost to a grass root Yoruba man. Ngige was kidnapped, stripped naked, beaten, slapped, molested and disgraced out of office. He later lost to a newbie, and was finally disgraced by a lady. Deal with it.

amala head... Yorubas rejected their own yoruba party in yoruba land because of fayemi while igbos voted their igbo party in igbo land.. See the difference... Fayose is the new awo of yorubaland abeg

Gbawe:
I am not interested in any back and forth with a hardened bigot like you. All I will say is that you should first understand completely what a technocrat is and then look into the educational background and professional training/achievement and wealth of experience of these guys. You people are never ashamed to come here daily and obstinately discuss inanities and nonsensical points merely because primordial prejudice leaves you unable to accept let alone say the truth about others.

you are a two faced bigot.. Your hypocritic position is well known on nairaland

wirinet:
Seun needs put install age verification on nairaland before allowing registration, there are too many senseless threads by immature children on this forum lately.

This one is telling us that only Igbos are technocrats (i wonder if the OP understands this word) and Fashola and Fayemi does not fit the his definition.

I keep feeling that Igbos have a general complex problem, because we are inundated daily by Igbos are this, Igbos are that and all others are not.

A person does not bestow greatness on himself, greatness is bestowed by a consensus of others.

I always tell people that only iboes read things upside down. They are yet to prove me wrong.

You all yiiboos need brain surgery,why on earth you people are like this,God will help u lot,that's why you all cannot be president,chest beating and attitude that will take you people to nowhere

Gbawe:
Bro, the thread is just the usual tribalistic rants of insecure posters who must wake up, as the start to their day, to proclaim their ethnic group better than others. Silly thread from an OP who understands and loves prejudice yet does not know who/what a technocrat is. Next will be for him to say all Yoruba ministerial nominees are paedophiles while all Igbo nominees are ordained saints. I just don't get how some do not appreciate that the way they think is unproductive and backward.

listen to them not, they are children of hate.

jaymichael:
And this is the verdict of what court of competent jurisdiction?

I dont think you know that woman.

She makes accusations without evidence. I guess it is the way some of these people were brought up. They want to be the judge and jury.

V given up...some foolish igbos just keep attracting insults and opprobrium on their tribe.

Osu flat. head man, Ngige the Tinubu boy was disgraced out of office, beaten again by a newbie and was finished by a a lady. Deal with it and stop splashing smelly spit everywhere.

Ruke1989:
The South South and South East remains Nigeria's hotbed having produced many successful private sector technocrats in the past like Dr Ngozi Nkonjo Iweala, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, Pat Utomi, Charles Soludo, etc. It is now set to produce the few technocrats in Buhari govt leaving the south west - the only zone that survives on government money - to produce politicians as ministers. South west names likely on buhari list includes Mr fayemi(ekiti state), Mr babtunde fashola(lagos state), prince oyinlola(osun state), and a host of other old and recycled politicians who have no known achievement outside politics.

Though buhari promised to appoint technocrats but this is not possible to find in the south west where the demands from politicians is overbearing on him.

As buhari's ministers await saraki's approval next Tuesday, Nigerians keep their fingers crossed waiting to know the taste of old and new wine mixed and served in old bottle.

I don't care how you and others view me. Only failures and insecure folks will come here looking for e-relevance, e-love and e-respect that does not pay ones mortgage/rent or fuel ones car. This is what you and others do here daily. I.e once defeated by fact and superior logic you resort to insults and character assassination. The fact is that OP goofed because he is a bigot and you supported him blindly because you are prejudiced also. The Yoruba names he mentioned are names of technocrats. No doubt about that for anyone who knows who a technocrat is.

You can append the word "corrupt" to Fashola's name all you want but it is only an anti-Yoruba biogt who will not admit the man is one of the finest technocrats in Nigeria. You think making Lagos virtually the only financially independent state in Nigeria, and one that would be one of the largest economy in Africa if an independent Nation, is not indicative of a very high level of technocratic ability? I really pity you and others because it is obvious prejudice and a parochial mindset will prevent you from achieving much in your daily lives. Fashola and Fayemi will be excellent and deserving Ministers who will serve Nigeria well and help Buhari succeed same as their Igbo Ministerial compatriots. You should try to see Nigeria for once and stop your ethnocentric proclivity that has obviously warped your thinking.

Received Boss

Thanks

These people are envious of the fact that they don't have the likes of Fashola, fayemi et all. Fashola achievements dwarfed all their governors combined since 1999 till date. Fayemi's four years achievements surpassed that of Sam Egwu and Martins Elechi combined 16 years in office.

See yoruba talking about smelly spit.. Ngige lost because of yoruba party in igbo land, fayemi lost with yoruba party in yorubaland. Are you daft to understand this ewedu head?

Is that so?

Which tribe self appointed themselves "most educated, must sophisticated, most developed and currently most powerful"?

The funny thing about Yoruba is you ALWAYS accuse others what you do when it does not favour una. When it does, you start beating your little chest while screaming most blah blah blah

It is very hard for me to believe that FreeGlobe cannot differentiate between a Technocrat and a Politician. Strange!

State like anambra was buying some states bonds ..in a lay man term its borrowing them money . and bayeksa and all these oil producing states are they not financial independent



But I agree with you...people shout our people are in government but it have not translated to their life becoming meaningful


So whoever is there doesn't buy fuel in my car nor pay my rent

Nigeria: One Country Four Economies Discussion Points
By
Falalu Bello, OFR


a) South West Economy

South Western Nigeria with a Land Mass of 76,852 square kilometres and population of 25.2 million today owns and/or control 60% of the nation’s industrial capacity, 44% of banking assets, 67% of insurance assets and is house to the nation’s three deep sea ports of Apapa, Tin Can Island and Roro; the busiest international airport of Ikeja, three thermal stations of Egbin, Papalanto and Omotosho. Today, its three major industrial estates of Agbara, Ikeja and Otta are all linked to gas under the West African gas pipeline plan and piping of gas is ongoing from Otta to Abeokuta. Added to these, the South Western population today is the most educated as western education came through there and education as a resource was democratized since the early sixties. Geographical location, democratization of western education, availability of resources enhanced in last 9 years and some empowerment during the Obasanjo administration have collectively enabled the South Western economy to rank as first of the four economies in Nigeria. Today, the South West as a region can boast of having a defined growing middle class and is perceived to have at least 20,000 of its indigenes with net worth of over N100m each. Take it out of Nigeria, the South West economy with is defined growing middle class and resources, will be one of the fastest growing economies in the world.


b) The South-East plus Delta

The South Easterners plus their cousins across the Onitsha bridge control commerce in all parts of Nigeria and are thus largely employed. The region has clusters of small scale industries around Nnewi and Aba. The banking consolidation has assisted these people to now have ownership and or control of over 50% of Nigerian banking assets. It also controls 21% of the nation’s insurance assets and 20% of industrial assets. With this development, this region which has not had a commanding control over Nigerian economy will certainly begin to do that now. Commercial activities backed by finance can only grow the economy of South-East plus Delta. The growing strength of financial muscle of this region has been aptly demonstrated by the recent licensing of Micro Finance Banks. Of the over 600 MFBs recently licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Anambra State alone had 74 whilst Yobe State had 1, Sokoto 5, Zamfara 6, etc. There exists also in this economy a middle class which will now grow itself in number and financial muscle and will almost certainly grow its economy inclusive particularly of small and medium sized industrial base.


c) The Northern Economy

The North which geographically is 719,435 Square Kilometers or 79% of Nigeria’s landmass and has 75 million or 53.6% of Nigeria’s population has its economy as a consequence of various reforms introduced, been totally grounded. Today, the North has ownership and/or control of no more than 3% of banking assets and 2% of insurance assets and 10% of industrial assets. True, the North has a huge landmass but this has remained under exploited due to jettisoning of time tested policies of price support (as a result of abolishing of marketing boards without putting alternatives) and abandonment of extension services and quality control. Also, the North has a huge population but the population has remained largely uneducated and/or half educated because of near failure of governance in certain States and Local Governments. Currently its most distinguishing characteristic is grinding poverty. Recent poverty statistics indicate that the poverty level of States in the North has been on the increase in the last 9 years and reached over 80%. Its two commercial and industrial nerve centers (Kano and Kaduna) have seen industrial capacity utilization decline to an all time low of less than 10%. The textile, automobile and beverages companies that thrived so impressively in the 1970s and 1980s have collapsed rendering thousands jobless. Although hydroelectricity is generated at Kainji Dam and in lesser quantities at Shiroro Gorge and at several smaller sites, the entire mechanisms are run on very obsolete equipment and the performance is consequently very epileptic and unsuitable for meaningful economic activity.


d) The South South minus Delta

The South South is largely in the creeks of Niger Delta and has therefore a small land mass of only 48,321 square kilometers and is populated by 13.6 Million people. Notwithstanding the fact that it is house to Nigerian Oil wealth, this region exclusive of oil company activities like the North is also backward economically. It controls no more than 3% of banking assets, 10% of insurance assets and no more than 10% of industrial assets on account of oil related industries that the indigenes do not control. Furthermore, its overstretched land mass has suffered considerable degradation and its aquatic life destroyed. As a region, its people and economy are worst off than the North as it lacks fresh environment, water and even good air to breath.

Osu yeebhoe, your father is the daft one here. Ngige, a tinubu boy was disgraced out of office and finally dealt with by a woman. Its a big shame, deal with it and stop crying everywhere.

Gbawe:
@OP.

You do not appear to know what a technocrat is so it is pointless even responding seriously to your post. Fashola, for example, can be described as one of the finest technocrats in Nigeria today. It is only someone who knows what a technocrat is who would appreciate this.

Thanks baba

macolino:
Is Ngige also a technocrat?

What do you call someone who rose up to the level of a Director in the Federal civil service?

Bruv, I am not sentimental and never come here to peddle emotional argument I cannot defend. Let us put the pedantism aside. Lagos, according to the best analysts and "technocrats" in the world, is the most financially independent state in Nigeria. Anambra is not financially independent and could not self-finance itself, as Lagos can, without FG allocation. This is the truth and, as educated men, we don't have to let pride or ego blind us to this statistical truth. Yet I agree Anambra is one of the most economically viable State in Nigeria.

You made some good point especially related to how you identified that "our people are in government" has not done anything for Nigerians. It is time we start looking at the competence of public servants/leaders and not their ethnicity. Yet if you deal with facts you will accept that Lagos is by far the most financially independent State in Nigeria and Fashola contributed the technocratic expertise towards this achievement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babatunde_Fowler

With this re-engineering, the new Lagos State Board of Internal Revenue (As it is now referred to) has achieved the following within 8 years between 2006 and 2013 :A sharp increase in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from an average of N 3.6 Billion per month in January 2006 to an average of over N20.5 Billion per month in 2014,[7] improved quality of service delivery to taxpayers, improvement in the use of IT and other modern methods of tax administration, an unprecedented enlightenment campaign on tax administration and education in Africa. These reforms have made Lagos State the only State in the Federal Republic of Nigeria that is financially independent of the monthly financial allocation of revenue from the Federation Account and also the only State that generates internally more revenue than the monthly allocation from the Federation Account.[8] The State is presently able to meet to a considerable degree, the enormous demands for infrastructure and services from the exploding population presently put at over 20 million

Gbawe:
They just come here to spew thrash daily without even thinking of how ludicrous and stupid they sound. They don't deal with facts either and prefer schizophrenic idiocy to back their parochial and prejudiced mindset. The Op ignorantly announces that "the south west - the only zone that survives on government money" yet how many times must these ignorant bigots be reminded that the SW is factually the most independent and economically viable region in Nigeria? This is a fact supported by official figures and statistics. In fact this is what makes me appreciate the level of hate some have for others that is very unhealthy for Nigeria.

Why are some prone to denying the truth because of primordial hatred of others? they will say the SW is "parasitic" and "dependent on Government" while "contributing nothing to Nigeria" but the fact, for those who work with facts and not sentimental bigots who enjoy lying to themselves, is that the SW is the best region nation-state region that "will be one of the fastest growing economies in the world" if Nigeria split.

Let some continue to think the worst for Yoruba land while real figures and statistics continue to show the region is the most financially and socio-economically viable in Nigeria. From the article below, how can any sane mind proclaim that the SW is the "only" zone that depend on government money? This is why I worry deeply for some people. It is obvious the indoctrination that has poisoned their reasoning is so powerful they do not even recognise statistical facts and on-the-ground realities any longer.
