Politics › Re: Rivers 2023: Sir Siminalayi Fubara’s Housing Policy by savcy(m): 2:19pm On Mar 16, 2023

DezMayorz:
Housing Policy: Sir Siminalayi Fubara Plans To Partner With Private Sector Developers, Others

As Rivers State continues to urbanise, the demand for decent housing also escalates.

According to Sir Siminalayi Fubara, the Rivers State PDP governorship candidate, New Rivers Vision's housing policy supports private sector investments in housing development to reduce the deficit.

Fubara promised to expand opportunities and incentives for individuals and real estate developers to invest in providing affordable houses for citizens.

He said this in his 37 paged manifesto; we shall:
• Provide an enabling environment for massive housing development programme through public-private partnership participation;

• Improve land acquisition and development by removing all encumbrances through reduced fees and timely approval of title documents to attract and encourage estate developers to deliver affordable housing.

• Provide housing loans for civil servants to acquire or build their own houses with flexible long-term repayment terms;

• Leverage the Federal Government to site low-cost housing schemes in the State for citizens to acquire for their families; and

• Support the Rivers State Housing and Property Development Authority to promote and invest in the development of housing
estates to serve the needs of citizens either one or in partnership with the private sector.

In other words, no plan. How is he going to partner with the private sector to build cheap houses? Is he going to offer subsidised land and building materials? Which average income earner in the civil service can afford a house in an estate?

Leverage the FG to build low cost housing? Is this even a plan? There are 37 states in Nigeria (FCT regarded as a state here) why should Rivers be given special attention above others? And if the FG fails to agree to their plight, that's one less plan, right?

Removal of encumbrances in land acquisition is good, but how does it affect the actual cost of land? How would removing encumbrances help me get an affordable land in Peter Odili Road, for example?

This all amounts to no actual plan that would really improve housing situation in the state. As usual, everything about him is fraudulent, or laced with fraudulent intent.

Politics › Re: My Experience As A Corp Member Who Worked As Inec Ad-hoc Staff In Enugu North Lg by savcy(m): 10:28am On Mar 15, 2023*

I had a similar experience back in 2019 at Pankshin LGA, Plateau state. By instruction we arrived the LGA INEC office around 3pm with eagerness to receive materials and depart. Usually by 4pm the cold starts there. By 11pm we had received no words from anyone, still just idling away in the extreme cold. Everyone, especially those of us new to the climate were shivering like no tomorrow. I don't know how we managed to survive the cold and hunger we suffered that night with absolutely nothing by way of supplies. Not even covering one's body with weather jackets or even thick duvets seemed to improve the situation. It was complete hell. Not one official was kind enough to come out and even utter encouraging words.

Around 2am, we were informed that the election had been postponed. I saw fellow Corps members lying out in the open on grass like destitutes. After all said and done, after the election was done, it took a protest before the EO gave us our stipends. See ehn, Nigeria is rotten, so rotten that I don't think we even appreciate how deeply decayed it is. Our public offices are filled with people whose heart have been seared with red-hot iron. They're are demonically wicked and fiendish. don't even know how. It astounds me how we managed to reach these levels of societal rot and wickedness.

This thread is filled with so many unintelligent people. This shouldn't have been a banter thread.

We need insights here so others can learn. Don't bring APC + PDP + LP politics here.

I was expecting a high-level conversational threads where people list their states and mention the major projects their current Governors have embarked on, and not the unintelligent responses with emojis that filled the first page.

Nairaland has gone to the dogs. Having a decent conversation void of ethnic bigotry and unnecessary jokes are extremely hard to come by now. I'll advice you visit Quora if that's the kind of social media engagement you want.

INEC gave themselves away the moment they deliberately sabotaged transmission of results from PUs. I am very interested in Peter Obi's victory, and even though I was a bit skeptical about his chances, I would have wholeheartedly accepted his loss if due process was followed. When one considers that the BVAS served their purpose in the off-season elections, one is tempted to ask what actually happened to them in this one. All in all, there should be no post-election violence.

Which LGA from Rivers are you from?.
You are a bloody liar. Rivers people didn't vote for Tinubu, the governor led his chairmen, soldiers and thugs to snatch ballots and changed results.
You're here lying to people. Igbo man.

I'm from Rivers State.

Tai LGA, ward 6. Tai voted massively for Tinubu. I can't really say for other LGAs, but as far as Tai LGA goes he was voted massively for. It's not even a contest at all. There seem to be this belief among Ogonis that a Tinubu victory would aid Magnus Abe's chances next week. Also, vote buying was rife. And yet, up till now voters haven't even received their loot. They were played.

Cabs aren't accepting the old notes anymore, and POS vendors do not have cash for customers. It's utter chaos out there, and I'm sure they'd be busy telling the President that all is well.

You children know nothing.

If you are the quintessential '70s and '80s brightest minds, then that era isn't is as great as it is made out to be. Like I said, I will vote for Peter Obi in the general elections regardless of his chances. And whoever wins, I hope they do their bit to help the Nigerian project.

Politics › Re: New Naira Notes: Who Is Suffering Now - The Politicians Or The Masses? by savcy(m): 11:58am On Feb 02, 2023

The policy is partly sensible, but was doomed to fail due to weak laws, weak technological structures and weak institutions. The politicians for whom this law was made already have the new notes in the quantity they want. The masses, as always, will bear the brunt of a policy poorly executed. Emefiele, speaking to the house committee the other day said collection of old notes continues till further notice. Why then is there a deadline? Deadline for what? He also said bank notes in plastic wrappings were found in people's custody in parties across the country, which was against the law. Given that those notes can be traced all the way back to the issuing bank, it begs the question, "why aren't these banks penalised for these acts of deliberate sabotage against the government"? Our laws in this country are made to be deliberately weak. Too weak to have a functional society. This policy has completely failed. What a country!

What happened in Osun is very simple, INEC was used to rub Osun people of mandate they gave to Adeleke.

I'm shocked that you also don't see Oyetola as a victim (or potentially one) here. If it's indeed established that there was over-voting in Osun, wouldn't it be in the best interest of our electoral process that Oyetola is declared winner? I care about who wins now, but I care more about the process. I won't have even the best candidates winning elections through faulty a process. God forbid.

The issue is still INEC and your country.

Why did INEC develop a software/using a technology that allows/count non accredited voters?

The issue is those who voted without accreditation weren't captured by the BVAS, hence the Tribunal's verdict. What that OP said is true. The BVAS has gone through every manipulation tests prior to its acceptance and approval by INEC. The machine is an intelligent piece of hardware that accredits according to process. If ever there's over-voting recorded in any PU, the BVAS would have the authentic number of voters. So those thugs and saboteurs who plan on intimidating adhoc staff and force authentication and voting would only end up denting their preferred candidate's chances.

With all due respect to the CBN and all involved in this redesign policy, it's foolish making an important monetary decision based on elections. It's a very third world thing to do. Be that as it may, anything to at least stifle these no-good moneybags determined to induce vote buying with their stolen wealth is welcomed. The 10 days extension is more than enough for the financial sector to absorb the policy shock (even though they had 3 months to) and make necessary adjustments to ease the sufferings of Nigerians. Anyone asking for more time has Ill intentions, and those intentions are exactly why the policy was made in the first place.

Please get your PVC and vote Peter Obi.

The hope here is that their submission came from strategy and empirical facts. I'm, however, tempted to think that they're just posturing. Governors are the footmen of Nigerian politics. Losing one is threatening as it is, and Atiku is being told he can win without five! I hope he has a plan to back his resolve, though. The two other candidates are no pushovers, and he seem right now to be behind both.
