You know, this is not Imo or the Red Mud Republic where people who have no direct impact on their states were given statutes. This is the West where we have sensible leaders except Fayose, FFK and co.

Instead of building Statues for Zuma and Sirleaf, we would rather celebrate our own as well as our professions like Baba Awolowo, Fela, the boats at Maryland and Ilezik as well as this at Epe.

You can learn from us.
wat does those boat at ilezik mean & y is d names of cities on dem

the error i see in this write up is LOTTERY. Really? Why are the youths of this country engrossed in getting hand-outs? When you dont focus on the important things you will come up with irrational statements like this.

Do you know that there is LETF where you can get loan to start a business.

Do you know that erection of these statues will generate revenue for the state in years to come through TOURISM?

Do you know that this edifice has empowered more than 5 people?

Be logical when bringing arguements.
PLS SIR/MA,,, i was loving ur post until i got to where u said it empowered 5people, can you pls expanciate that pls.
Do you know that in nigeria when a certain govt was in power and did some projects, immediately leave it becomes abandoned project.
This money wasted on fish will empower people by training them for some months on technology, after that they giv dem little stipends and loan to establish theirs which will be more beneficial.

What is the function of the fish..?? To me Nigerians no need all these, that fish statue could have empowered 5 young guys with 2m each. If this is done as lottery ones a year...God will easily pick somebody call and live will change.
Crap
What is the function of the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Eiffel tower could empowered more than 1000 youths too nah? But nigerians travels to Paris just to take a selfie with Eiffel Tower. Maybe you don't know there is a ministry of tourism saddled with the responsibility and funds to improve the state tourism status.
Epe is synonymous to fishing, hence the fish statue is a reflection of the peoples History, profession and tradition.
Not some random Zuma, sire leaf etc statue.

You must be demented or suffering from psychosis to compare this thrash to Imo State purposeful honor of prominent Africans. That's the hypocrisy inherent in your type. Imo State is an African State and can honour any African deemed fit by its law.

Agreed, my argument is misplaced priority. Statue is good but is it the important thing there right now? Paris didnt misplace priority and thats why we go there to take selfie. So should we now include fish statue as one of the achievement of Ambode by next yr. You see is laughable...for now what we need is productivity, Nigeria is not yet matured as tourist country.

Next person is Nyesom Wike who is busy doing eye service instead of continuing his predecessor's laid out plans that will uplift Rivers State. Me I love Rochas and how he has transformed Owerri with their little funds even when his fellow Igbos are doing everything possible to frustrate his noble efforts.

Agreed,Misplaced priority.
But what should Ministry of tourism used their budget for? Or should the ministry be scrapped?
What about the hundreds of Art graduates, they should remain jobless right?

since 1960 we ve had ministry of tourism, what have they achieved, nothing. So lets scrap it. We have a lot of departments that are doing nothing for Nigeria but bc U:K keeps such ministries, therefore we must have them. If we know what we want as a country, we wont be a scalar quantity.

imagjne this rubbish write up!!!

How is a statue of headless man of importance to you?
Art is symbolic. When you see the statue, even though its headless you instantly know who it represents.

When you see a green/white/green flag, even though the name Nigeria is not written on it...you instantly know whose flag it is.

No Iboman has ever accomplished what the persona represented by that headless statue has accomplished, worldwide!

Watch your mouth.

N820 billion budget and 2 years later, no housing estates, no hospitals, not maternity centers, no skills centers, no power plants, no 4th mainland bridge, no serious or major projects, no grand vision projects, all we have so far are statues, 1 flyover, substandard roads, Yacht boats for him and his alahusa pose to enjoy and do owambe, the orobo clown even commissioned ordinary entrance gate at LASUTH today.


And the incompetent orobo is budgeting N1 trillion, another record state in the history of Nigeria with many many more statues and absurd projects.


This useless clown is the most useless, unproductive and incompetent governor in the history of Lagos state.

Thank you my brother. Isn't it absurd to hail statue of fish
without purpose at a major junction and condemn that of man with purpose at a hall of fame? Let Okorocha build fish statue at a roundabout in Owerri and watch these hypocrites find reasons to condemn it.
