What of Bayelsa state governor that borrowed N2.9b to buy cars in his first month in office to join over N200b debt left by former governor Dickson. Meanwhile, nothing show that sum of N200b has been spent on that state since creation.

A 21% reduction in Lagos state's budget seems very optimistic to me. Where will the money come from? Many of the jobs that have been lost are gone for good. Many of the businesses that have closed are gone for good. Many of those that reopen will end the year with losses. Entire industries have been destroyed by harsh measures. The social distancing rules that we are now enforcing, though infinitely better than the lockdown, are not cost-free either. Transport costs will at least double, etc. All these things will reduce the Lagos State government's revenue.

Lagos as a whole is a slum, it's not just poverty and dirty surroundings that makes a place a slum. General quality of life is the determining factor. Even Ikoyi is not exempted from the slum that Lagos is but it is still a mega city.

Shebi na Buhari stop am then.
Whatever Buhari stopped will be outdated by now. Lagos needs to create a conducive environment for investors to build an underground rail system that can transport 5 million people daily in a very timely manner.

cool



while Audio Seyi Makinde borrows 22.5 billion again when the first loan he got 2 months into inauguration we are yet to see anything tangible

Lagos is working because they have good Fiscal Responsibility Manager, they Know when to cut spending and when to increase spending, they know how to effectively tax business and when to cut back on tax

Tinubu was so smart to appoint Ben Akabueze a very smart Profession Igbo man to manage his budget and planning for 8 years, he knows if he puts a Yoruba man that likes owanbe, lagos would be doomed.. and performance of your budget dictates welfare of your states and what you can achieve in terms of infrastructure

Tribalism is now outdated. It was for primitive humans. I think modern man should have evolved above that.

Tribalism, Racism, Ethnocentrism as come to stay nothing you can do about it, if you don't like ethnic competition then your ethnic group are not winning... how many times do you see an European cry of racism? its always the underachieving blacks with victim mentality

whether racist or not, i'll choose ibo man as my CFO, Yoruba man as my Managing Director and Hausa man as my Chief Secuirity officer it is what it is

I am a mother of three boys aged 11, 10 and 7 and I have not taken my family or myself for any medical intervention since 2014. My youngest child was 15 months old when I last went with the children to the hospital.

I am writing this in April 2020 following the onset of the COVID -19 crisis in my country and in many other countries around the world.

I remember some several months ago, my first son had an ear problem that he kept complaining about for weeks.

Prior to that, I had listened to Kenneth E. Hagin speaking about how his 15-year-old son (Kenneth W. Hagin) had had an ear infection and received healing after he received instruction from God to tell his son to confess his own healing and act on his own faith.

I drew understanding from this testimony and I asked my 10-year-old at the time to pray for his healing, confess his healing, and thank God for his healing.

He never complained about the ear problem again from that day on and we never had to go to the hospital.

Months before this illness showed up, I had given my son a copy of David Oyedepo’s Healing Balm to read. This is one of the most powerful books on healing.

You can get a PDF on healing from the same source here.

In another instance, my second son had lumps in his jaws that according to what was happening in the environment we lived in, we needed to take him to a particular hospital to get him operated on. However, I decided to stand on the word of God and believe God for his healing.

I placed my hand on his jaw and cursed the lumps, then I kept: confessing the word, thanking God for His word and I think I administered communion to him (I can’t remember so clearly now but normally I would have.)

Weeks later, we discovered that the lumps were no longer there.

However, a business partner told me about a hospital that had several children with the same condition who were waiting to be operated upon.

Healing is real because the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is real.

My three sons once had some strange boils and rashes on their hands, stomach and feet that looked very alarming. The LORD instructed me to give them daily communion. I also used calamine lotion and some local medicine mixed in the lotion and within days we began to see changes and eventually the boils and rashes dried up and their skin began to heal.

Coronna is a scam for Nigeria.

It's just like a flu entering our body this part of the world.

Anyone with normal or good health records will easily beat this disease.

They should stop hyping it.

Oyinbo system is very sterilized and that's why simple infections will easily trigger beyond their control. Nigerians have been eating things stronger than Coronna self before it came.....
