Lol.....they said Nigerian goverment gave Amusan 36k dollars....and u believe...?? You seff know naaa...i like the way you structured the statement ..."it is believed that"

Belive it or not...Some of these people use serious leg and bribe to represent nigeria...

The sports associations in nigeria always feel they are doing them a favour so they are usually exploited to allow them represent Nigeria

Nigerian government that just gave chioma ajunwa who won gold in 1996 olympics the gift of 3 bedroom flat they promised in 2022...

silvoclaira:
What is your fear?

BESTScientist1:
What is wrong with Nigeria oh God!!! And some lunatics are still campaigning for another medical tourist.......I have spoken with educated, elderly from various religion. I noticed that age, education, or religion does not determine you will be wise. I have seen extremely foolish educated people of various faith. They talk about this country and you weep for their relocated senses

Princeton92:
Must everything be in that small Lagos-Lekki?

Whatever happened to other Southern States?

IfnobeGod20:
Many at times many of you we just come to public forum and be talking without knowing the level of the person replying to his/her comment.
There's need to always put things in perspective rather than grandstanding.

You claimed, debt is not a measure of economy. But I wish to tell you that debt is one of the parameters to measure the viability of a state or country. No financial institution will give loan facility bro any state or country without a viable cushion effect and ability for its repayment either in a short term or long term. America is indebted because they have its cushion effect in reserve. Like the oil that our country can boast of any reserve, America have barrels of it in reserve that are untouched, that in years to come if oil dry in oil producing countries, they will not have any issue. Can that be said of Lagos?
No doubt government policies had favourably favour Lagos in all aspect. Like making Lagos port the sole port for the nation while the rest are now moribund. If by any means some of these industries pull out of Lagos or government make other ports viable and licensed for import, the weight on Lagos will drastically reduced and that will shift wealth to those states.
It's funny you're asking me if I know Ambode, Sanwoolu or Osinbajo. Those of you just following politics yesterday will always think, people are of the same level with you. I am cog sure as at 1999, you were still sucking breast or in primary school.

onuman:
A writer who uses words fewer people understand is poorly educated. What is communication if not letting people know what is in your mind?

onuman:
Your use of cussing which few people use or understand, is a measure of your bad education.

onuman:
Cursing, not cussing.
Your own problem is half education bequathed on you by the leaders of Nigeria.

Declare Oduduwa or Arewa Islamic Republic today, any Igbo you see in Oduduwa or Arewa Republic, do whatever you want to the Igbo.

ufotty2001:
apart from that I have come to realize that most FG projects are in Lagos... Like Port Harcourt now the only FG project is east west road. Akwa ibom and cross Rivers no project.. the entire south east is 2rd river niger bridge. 70% of states have no FG projects going on there but if you come to Lagos they are thousands of FG projects there.. why is it so?

SmartPolician:
Let's say I have a company in Ikeja.

And I imported goods through that port.

I have trucks that would bring them to my Ikeja warehouse.

Which route will my truck drivers take to deliver them to my warehouse?

If you can answer this, you will know what Ajah is doing in the calculus.

ufotty2001:
Is it only Lagos we have in Nigeria... 50% of federal project goes to Lagos.. why?

buckeyemedia:
Yes you are correct in your initial message, even from VGC to Lekki Phase 1 na wahala, instead of the thieves to build Eko Atlantic Coastal Highway for the movement of commerce, they chose to build Eko Atlantic City for their own selfish benefits.

Tinubu Ali Baba of stealing from Lagos State Treasury, Nothing he did in Eko other than enrich himself.

buckeyemedia:
I’m sure that Murtala Mohammed Airport Ikeja Lagos State is also a vision of Jagaban Borgu?

Nonsense.

chuksanambra:
25 liters of kerosene is enough to capture your potopoto state for Tinubu.
Is it not 25cl of kerosene Ikpeazu used to secure reelection.

IfnobeGod20:
Are you aware that Lagos has not lived to the bidding of a viable state. Of all states in Nigeria, Lagos is the most indebted state and monthly they generated up to 50B naira. Join that to monthly federal allocation. By now, if truly Lagos had been making judicious use of the monies, the state should have turned to Dubai.
If the monies that had accrued to Lagos since 1999 had found its way into the hands of leaders that had turned the fortune of Dubai around, Lagos would have turned to another heaven on earth.
Every viable economy in the world doesn't joke with tax drive. Parking your car in a public slot, you will be bill for it. The house you built for years, you will yearly or monthly pay tax on it. So tax drive is one of the ways that developed countries survive.
The problem with Nigeria which Lagos also belong is waste. So many conduit pipe and we are not ready to learn and turn a new leave. Until we redefine our governance and stop unnecessary wastage, before the nation can be redefine. If you like give loan of millions to people, failure will surely follow because no enabling environment. The good you bought today by tomorrow the price has changed and your salary is fixed. How would people cope and how would business survive?
So in a nutshell, enabling environment and equal or redistribution of wealth can only bring survival and lessen corruption.
Tinubu is just saying nonsense. People that are thinking for him are no more with him the way they were between 1999-2005. Those crop of people are the one doing the job but him taking the glory because he was the governor then. Without those people, he has been saying nonsense and giving incoherent submission.

whitebeard:
I can smell how weak u are from ur statement..in sane society People like u would be eaten.

mbaboy:
I am not feeling the impact of no work no pay because i planned ahead, i am managing my ulphostry business at PH pending when the APC led govt decides to do the needful for the strike to be called off.

IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, you don't know what you're saying. In abroad if a loan or credit card is giving to you, they know the means of getting your repayment to the bank.
In Nigeria, if a loan is given to a worker, making return or repayment is a big problem. I know some of my colleagues in the office that have collected many loan facility in many financial institutions and repayment had become difficult for them. Many of them used it to buy car, some built houses, some for marriages, some invested it but could not meet up again with repayment because of bad economy. Like someone that collected a million naira loan and after loan deduction, his salary balance remain say #30,000. As a result of inflation, this #30,000 can no more meet up with monthly expenditure. Electricity bill take almost half of the money, half bag of rice take about #15,000. Where would such get money for other sundry? The children school fees are also there.
Giving loan facility to curb corruption is just Secondary. The primary factor to curb corruption is to create strong economy, create enabling environment and let there be equal wealth distribution, not that some are enjoying and the rest become puppets.

shinealight:
Now I know that common sense is not common with some people. A waste of precious time!!

ibechris:
How can giving credit facilities stop corruption when in Nigeria here,most debtors have refused to pay.

Even Nigeria that is borrowing is even more corrupt than any country on earth.

lexy2014:
How does availability of credit facilities nip corruption in the bud?

What is the cause of corruption in Nigeria?

Kobicove:
Nigerians have a culture of not wanting to repay debts...this is one of the reasons why access to credit is highly restricted in this country

tobby98:
There was INEC registration in Unilag central mosque yesterday. It is not new

Zionmdde:
INEC doesn't use premises of worship for registration?
I have not seen a lie worse than this

Someone in ph can help me confirm that voter's registration is going on in some church premises

Does it matter where any legible voter register to exercise his or her rights?
