juventino: Lol. Photoshopped crowd. Just wait till Saturday for the real followers.

What makes you think it is photoshopped?
Even many people who doesnt go there follow it on tv, since Adeleke joined APC, APC supporters are increasing everyday in EDE. That is what you get when you dump a politician that have good relationship with his people. Everybody just love him here. Tell your PDP boss not to dump important politician anymore, Adeleke told you that he delivered Ede for GEJ even when PDP lost woefully in last election, even Omisore ward was won by APC in 2011 presidential election

Ijaw may be minority but they are big enough to do anything if they are unite and know how to play politics. Fulani is also a minority group but they are the most powerful group(or produced the highest number of president while hausa is yet to produce one) in Nigeria, Ijaw population is more than half of Ibo's population so why are you so concerned about them, if Igbo's can take care of themself, Ijaws too can.

Although I am personally dislike Nyako especially because of his propaganda against the military, I think it is a wrong move for the president to try to impeach him. If he is really worthy of impeachment, let Adamawa's lawmakers decide for their state.

FUNNY

gen2briz: They'll not ask there oga at the top about that one, they will just come to NL to inform us that he's not workers friendly.

What I hate most about them is the word they usually use 'Am not a fan of any political party or I don't belong to any political party, I just want good governance and yet they keep creating anti Apc thread. Awon wonabe oshi...

Why cant OSUN STATE GOVERMENT go to court.
Why cant they use NASS to get it back, they are just talking without doing the needful, when the goverment did that to Amaechi, he go to court and we find out that he is telling the truth but someone just tell you that his allocation has been reduced by the goverment and he doesnt take any action and you believe him.
I hope you also believe that goodluck really care about chibok girls too since he said that he does.
Never trust the word of a politician, you should let them proof it first before you believe them.

Idrismusty97: If that's so then Kaduna, Niger and sokoto also needs new states. It takes 5 hours to go from minna to newbussa on very smooth road in Niger state. Southern kaduna is just like a different state from Kaduna north(A politician suggested a splits not long ago).

What is so important in new state. If we are practicizing resource control, will you be asking for more state. We all want more state just because of oil allocation.

simply_me: ...and the point is?

It is not the people that are corrupt but the system.
You cannot give a person absolute power and expect him to act like a democrat.

No reduction or improvement in the total no of hour we have electricity pr day which is between 15-20
Distribution problem is being taken care of faster, we no longer watch electricity in our neighborhood while we wont have it.
3 transformers supply my area alone, so 3 transformer each with 3 phase means 9 different.electric line supply it, so and their is always problem with atleast one of them but now the distribution company are solving it faster.
Nobody is allowed to use 2 lines therefore their is no longer problem of heavy load on one line, and also people now inform them whenever their is problem with one line instead of changing to another which cause problem for transformer.
Another development is that we can now watch football at our home, for example during this world cup, there is no power failure during football match unless their is rain or thick cloud, but before privatilization, PHCN worker collect bribe from football viewing centres and off our electricity.

In another word, our electricity improve because corruption that cause PHCN worker to allow 2 lines, that make PHCN off electricity due to match has been eliminated.

SOUNDKING: D only thing we don't have a solution, is that whch has not happend

Just as al-qaeda and boko haram?.
I just dont know why northerners are afraid of resource control, if they arent, he can destroy as many oil installation as he want and our country wont be afraid of one of its citizen.
A country which is afraid of one of its citizen is a failed state.

MUJICA, THE CURSE OF PRESIDENTS
Category: Opinion Published on Wednesday, 02 July 2014
05:00 Written by Tunde Asaju Hits: 190
The reason we so often return to the same place to worship
may not be different from the same reason most men pretend
that their mothers were the best cooks since Sarah. They
browbeat their poor wives each time there is either excess or
less than the desired salt, maggi or pepper desired in their
soups. My Uncle makes his protest with biting sarcasm. He
calls his wife’s name and gently asks if there is still pepper or
salt with the market hawker of the commodity. Such rhetorical
questions are the way us hangers-on found out about the
mistake in the soup. But he’ll never leave town without a
cooler of his wife’s cooking.
This is no time for reminiscing on culinary charm as the key to
a man’s heart, my suave compatriot, Funke Egbemode, is
best suited for weaving a serious story round the mundane
without losing focus. I am looking for sabbatical tutorials.
Last
Sunday, my congregational pastor was away on other
duties and the incredible Professor Contey took the pulpit. A
man of interesting character, Professor Contey had reason
during his homily to talk about how Pentecostals pampered
their pastors. He started by talking about how he was
chauffeured from the airport to his hotel in a pristine Toyota;
of having someone open the door for him and how, having
settled himself in the ‘owner’s corner’ and belted himself
down, he reached for the handle and settled for the ride to
the hotel vowing to enjoy every mile of the ride.
Unfazed about the
uproar he was causing, he concluded that
it must be great being a Pentecostal pastor. Behind me, an
African sister whispered that this is the single reason why
African rulers never resign from office even when they have
outlived their relevance. The sinful part of me nodded an
agreement (imagine that in Gods house!).
Looks
like there’s no need to count the number of grass-to-
grace ruiners that African has produced. Of those who moved
from
prison to the presidential palace, not one called
Mandela’s bluff. From pretended freedom fighters to shoeless
Joes power has turned out being an intoxicant inebriating the
simple. If you had no shoe as a kid and suddenly becomes the
commander of eleven presidential jets, a whole nation’s army,
the police, secret police and orderlies, why must you be
stopped by traffic lights?
For instance, the president
of Naija can host the entire Abuja
without any qualms. The day Barrack Obama let’s that
thought transform into action for his cousins at the White
House, he must have mortgaged the future of Malia and
Shasha for single coloured overalls in a state penitentiary and
global outrage. So, when people call Obama the world
president, they have no idea how fake the façade is. Mama
Peace recently ordered a citizen detained and the heavens
did not fall. This is a thought that won’t cross the mind of
Michelle.
There
are presidents and there are presidents. A few days
back, my good friend, Ernest Omoarelojie posted an incredible
picture on his Facebook timeline. It was a story from Uganda’s
The
New Vision and it showed a slouching Uruguayan
president, Jose Mujica taking his turn on the sitting pew of a
public hospital. If that picture had been of Yoweri Museveni,
that paper would have been history. Just ask the editors of
Nation Media who were recently banned from state functions
for embarrassing a sleeping president. In Uganda, Naija and
other African states, Mujica is a curse on the office of the
president. Never mind, until his country attempted to contest
at the current Mundiale, Uruguay is known to few Naija
people like yours truly whose best friend is a mocha-drinking
Roberto Elissalde.
If you
pray for a presidential aspirant (not Buhari, silly) to be
a president like Mujica, you better change your return route
because you cannot guarantee that they might not try to
prevent you from saying another prayer. Mujica became
president in 2010 and has been described as the globe’s
‘poorest president’ having donated 90 per cent of his
legitimate earning ($12,000) less than somebody’s daily tea
allowance to charities.
Unlike
his predecessors, he lives in a farmstead on the
outskirts of the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo where he and
his long time comrade grows chrysanthemums. His ‘official car’
is a fairly weather beaten Volkswagen Beetle and his
neighbours are farmers. His wife and a three-legged dog
share his fenceless presidential palace. If Mujica was a
Kanawa, he’ll be in the Dala Asylum since he professes himself
an atheist.
Not all
Uruguayans like Mujica. In a BBC report, some citizens
believed that a president should have some form of finesse
and sophistry which they regretted theirs lack especially when
addressing issues of international
importance. But the political
hermit has promised not to change. Don’t ask me if I like
Mujica.
It is difficult
to feed the simple on the aphrodisiac of absolute
power and expect them to remain the same. Transforming
from a man who depends on a cobbler to fix his best shoe to
being able to buy Bata or Lennard’s, does something to the
psyche of the African. Not many of them can resist the allure
of not outdoing Imelda Marcos, except that they never
relinquish power for the Guinness Guys to record the feat.
See why Professor Contey enjoyed what he called his “my
fifteen minutes of fame,” not talking of the fortune.

Now that Nigerians most trusted organization have spoken, they should stop trading accusation instead of dealling with it.
We have seen that boko haram have inflitrate our army and jtf, so the problem is getting worse by the day.
Our army needs a sustainable organizational structure, after that they can talk about funding.

Empowerment,
Education and health
Reliable pipe-borne water supply
Transportation(especially bridge)
Others.
The is in order of priority
When the people are rich, the can
1) Give the govt enough tax to build roads,
2) Build beautiful house to make the state beautiful, a govt that is trying to beautify his state by building infrastructure is doing nothing, even if the state have first class infrastructure and the people are living in ugly or even mud house, how is that state beautiful, if someone just take its picture and post it online, will you call a place with flyovers and mud house a beautiful place?
3)Education problem will reduce: When the people are rich, they can afford good school for their children
4)Health problem will reduce: When the people are rich, they wont wait on the govt for healthcare. I doubt if half of Nigeria Lowwer middle class use public health service
So their duty is to empower the people, but the job is not an easy one.

Ibn sultan: European defence companies can get us these hards wares along side russia

As long as we budget less than 100bn for our airforce, we cant buy and maintain a large fleet of aircraft especially if they are 4th generation aircraft

composites: Suppose your neighbour tells you that your house will be attacked on so so date and the attack happened as he told you. Who will be your first and certain suspect? How long will take a simple fool to understand who is killing innocent people?

They never said they know the date and time of the attack, but they have an intelligience that one mall will be attack. Which means they dont even have information about the mall boko haram is trying to attack.

Survivor Donald Chikason told ThisDay newspaper that a security guard argued with the driver of a car who wanted to enter Emab Plaza through the exit gate. When the guard refused, the man bent down and moments later the car exploded, Friday's edition of the newspaper quoted him as saying.

"The man started arguing, behaving as if he was drunk," it quoted him as saying.

Chikason, who works at a bank in the mall, was knocked unconscious by the blast and regained consciousness in the hospital.

If this is true, then we should reduce our critism of the SSS, they tried their best, they cant release release information like this and they deploy their men to protect the mall, the bomb goes off when one of their operative is preventing the sucide bomber from entering the mall.

dmighty: They were actually saying in ado dialect 'ee ko ona, e ko inu ' I.e the governor was building road without building their stomach. Funny thought though but, reality is, governance is all about d local people. They said even d road and other contracts they would have benefitted from are contracted outside Ekiti State. So painful because Fayemi really changed Ekiti but, human beings come before infrastructure. PDP is not even ready for both humans and infrastructure.... where do we go from here... Aregbesola is always insisting on his own will even if it breaks Osun into rubbles of religious violence... why all ds wrong decision when opposition leadership is needed most? We dont need 'new pdp' we need real change.

Aregbesola's education policy should really be reversed. All those million spent on building a secondary school will renovate the old schools and build a state of the art labouratory. Then spend some of the remaining for buying books for township library.
But they want to build new things so that people can praise them.

Nice article.
Many people believe that PDP won and APC lsot in ekiti, they dont know that bad goverment was just chase out of goverment house, the same way it will happen in 2015. GEJ can start distributing rice from today.

naptu2: Reasonably good here.

Where

What about ur state if fg can say 1.5 then sg + lg should also be able to say up to 1mn, therefore people of lagos should also be able to talk of over 100000 jobs being the economy capital of nigeria.Therefore i think you should also ask people of lagos state to tell you how many job they got this year

People will blame government for high rate of unemployment but they will not commend government for job get outside the piblic sector.

If our import on rice has reduced by 40 percent it means some more people are involved its farming furthermore if we have 1.2mmt capacity mill as stated by the president it means more people are engaged in its production some people will also move it from the mill to the where it will be sell therefore the primary, secondary and tetiary sector will have employ in it alone

YEA That is right but some people doesnt know the responsibility of each tier of government. But still both the fed and state are working to improve eater in the state of osun.

He has learn a lesson from the widow case.But he should have done something that will benefit the mass like free education (if it isnt available before).

In my area (ede, state of osun) water is getting worse aw about yours

Everybody is talking about employment from the public sector whereas they are talking about every employment whether from public or private sector.Furthermore in developed countries public sector does not employed up to 5% of entire working force.

Tolexander: very obvious you are from ile ogbo. Cos ile ogbo should have no place in that list.

OSUN STATE

Ife

Osogbo

Ilesha

I agree with you about ile ogbo but how can you remove ede and iwo from the list.I use to heard that ila is also a town

Thanks for your contribution

What about trade and investment or communication ministry
