This is a very bad news, we were supposed to be 1st. Who takes 3rd for an achievement? We are the most populous country in Africa for Christ sake!

This is why you people are always so disgruntled. You have this queer belief that you should be 'first' in everything. Else you've 'failed'.

Where exactly that comes from I've no clue.

India is the 2nd most populous nation on Earth. But they don't 'lead the world' in anything. They're not going around knocking their country for not being first in everything.

'Restructuring' would actually make most states poorer.

Ekiti can use the monthly allocation from Abuja to maintain itself while harnessing internal revenue generation sources.

Without the allocation, they'll be totally messed up.

chatinent:
It irks me to realize my weak carpenter grandfather in the village who buys trees and turns them into logs, then to chairs used for public schools will have to be paying taxes...after he pays taxes indirectly by buying the trees, transporting himself, buying machines, buying fuel, paying rents, and feeding.

In another news, after Ndubuisi gets a car for Uber on hire-purchase, after he pays taxes buying fuel, buying tickets, bribing soldiers and policemen on the road, evading accidents, and dodging more portholes than roads...he will still have to pay the extra taxes for bearing the appellation of being a taxi driver. However, those having about fifty cars for entourage alone are called senior citizens.

In saner climes, the rich understand that he pays more taxes because of more assets. In Nigeria, the rich rejoices that the poor augments their assets with their taxes.

Welcome to a country that releases budgets every year but doesn't balance accounts after the financial year.

Welcome to the Fraudral Republic of Nigeria.

Abeg shut up and go pay tax.

''after he pays taxes indirectly by buying the trees, transporting himself, buying machines, buying fuel, paying rents, and feeding.''

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Those expenses ARE NOT TAX. Those are his personal expenses.

How is he paying tax by ''feeding''?

Or by ''transporting himself''?

Ignorant people. And you got over 120 likes for your ignorant, dumb post.

You people want an advanced country but you don't want to pay for it.

Abagworo:
Higher GDP doesn't translate to higher per capita income, better infrastructure or higher standard of living. Rivers State has GDP of 21 billion Dollar but still living worse than Cape Verde

Are Rivers State people REALLY living 'worse' than people in Cape Verde?

I think they just live a different type of life from Cape Verdians. More competitive, less leisurely, more hustle and bustle, more politically volatile, and people never accepting 'average' personal status, which is seen as 'poverty'.

Cape Verde on the other hand is the sort of place where a tailor, shoeshiner, street artist, or tour-guide is happy in his occupation and is all smiles, despite earning what a NIGERIAN would consider very low pay.

Ghana is a bit like that as well.

It is our national obsession with being personally 'rich' that makes most people so disgruntled and feel like they are 'suffering'.

That makes them not treasure the 'little' that they have - such as a roof over their heads.

Whereas a low-income Cape Verdian would plant flowers and a garden around his home, a Nigerian of similar economic status would leave his bungalow the way it is, not painting or beautifying the environment for years on end, in the expectation that his new mansion that he is planning for, will look the part.

13th century Ife Terracota head recently returned by the Netherlands.

When these masterpieces were first looted by Europeans and sent to Europe in the 17th century, the European intelligentsia refuse to believe that this was the work of Africans.

Only after several teams were sent to Ife to investigate and research the area did it finally become accepted in Europe that the Ife masterpieces was completely devoid of European or foreign influence.

http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/pave/hd_pave.htm

The categories given to the distinct periods of ancient Ife’s artistic production center around the paving of the city’s courtyards and passageways with terracotta bricks sometime around 1000 A.D., marking the beginning of Ife’s Pavement period.

This practice is thought to be associated with the urbanization of Ife.

The origin of the pavement is explained in a popular story: according to Yoruba mythology, Queen Oluwo ordered the construction of the pavements when her robes were muddied in the dirt.

A centre of political and religious power, Ife has been a formidable city-state through much of the second millennium A.D. The flowering of Ife art coincided with the commercial expansion of the neighboring city-state of Oyo, a strategically placed trading centre, that channeled goods coming down the Niger River from the Songhai empire to Ife and other centers. The aesthetic style developed during the Pavement period of Ife art has been an ongoing influence in Yoruba sculptural styles since its inception. ...

Excerpt:

http://historum.com/middle-eastern-african-history/71640-potsherd-pavements-ile-ife.html

''Ile-Ife is the most ancient Yoruba city, and is still venerated today by the Yoruba as their main cultural and religious center. It's practically a holy city. You may know of Ile-Ife due to its highly sophisticated terracotta and bronze castings, but did you know that the city had a complex system of paved roads? Evidently, an oral tradition concerning the distinguished Yoruba ruler Ono Olowo, apparently she was walking around the capital when her regalia was splattered with mud. Very upset, the Queen ordered the construction of pavements around all of the public and religious places of Ife(courtyards, shrines), made of ceramic tiles from pots. A quote concerning how potsherd pavements are created:

How The Pavements Were Built

''The pathway or courtyard to be paved would be prepared by leveling the ground. The potsherds were then prepared by breaking them into pieces. The soil was then well-kneaded to make for a good sub-base providing the working platform. The soil base was mixed with residual water from the palm-oil industry and left to ferment for two to three days. In the absence of residual water from the palm-oil base, the soil was mixed with palm-oil. Where there was no palm-oil, the soil was left to ferment longer, say, one-week. Mixing the soil with palm-oil was done to provide uniform heating when the pavement was being "baked'.

After the base was prepared, the potsherds were then stuck into the prepared soil and then arranged into whatever design was desired, be it herringbone or straight-row design. The pavement was then left to dry out before being "baked". In the baking process, dry wood and shrubs were packed on top of the pavement and set on fire''''.
