Rossikk: I've been all over and believe me, foreign hotels are over rated. Most are no better or worse than their Nigerian counterparts. Not as much as Nigerians overrate theirs. Perhaps you are referring to their services, but architecturally we are just too behind. 16 Likes |

Something is not right. We've read it many times how Nigeria economy is growing, how Nigeria economy is about to dwarf that of south Africa, how nigeria economy is one of the fastest in the world and how our GDP has increased tremendously.... How come the federal government couldn't release enough states' monthly allocation? It's either the finance minister has not been truthful to Nigerians or the money has been going to wrong hands. |

Business / Re: Shoprite To Open Another Store In Ibadan by sEyi6: 9:28pm On Sep 27, 2013 |
Good development, shoprite seems to be making a hell of cash from Ibadan people. Saw the new mall on my way to oluyole along ring-road, few weeks ago when I was in Ibadan for an assignment. It looks huge and good of course. The steel trusses have been fixed, left with fixing of the iron sheet. grafikii: Oh i forgot, kfc also has a store in Ibadan and has been operating for 2yrs now even before the opened one in the nations capital. I know someday they will get to the south east That is not true, KFC has two stores in Ibadan. One at Bodija, just after Awolowo junction on your way to UI and the other one along ring-road, not far from the new shoprite been built. 8 Likes |

These states shouldn't be generating anything less than N2billion as their IGR, but because their government have no idea of how to go about it or are scared of their people's reaction when taxed they couldn't: Ondo, Enugu, Imo, Bayelsa, Kwara. With bayelsa, ondo and Imo being an oil producing states, I wonder how they couldn't have an IGR up to that of Osun. With 13%derivative, monthly allocation and IGR, Osun have more money than Ondo every month. That what her strong IGR has done for her(Osun). |
Politics / Re: N2.5bn Best Western Hotel Coming To Osogbo by sEyi6: 8:53pm On Sep 27, 2013 |
chino24: If we should not believe the newpaper released states IGR, what do want us to believe? @bold, it doesn't matter if Osun's economy is civil servants based. What matters is how serious the government is about tax collection. If osun civil servants pay their tax as at when due and the process is well monitored by the government, nothing prevents the state from having an IGR of N2billion. Bayelsa is an oil producing state, but the government lacks the idea of taxing its people which makes the state to have an IGR as low as N600million. I wouldn't have believed if I was told like three years ago that Ogun state can have an IGR of N4billion. The previous government was only able to gather N700million as IGR because they have little knowledge about taxing the people to increase the state's monthly internal revenue. Presently, Lagos generates N27billion as its IGR, but I tell you with more seriousness about tax collection, Lagos can generate N35billion. What matters is how reasonable the government is in getting money from the people without the people knowing. |
Politics / Re: Rice Imports Down 95% On Local Production by sEyi6: 8:33pm On Sep 27, 2013 |
grafikii: I was about to second eGuerilla's post until I saw yours. I have been eating rice in cafeterias, ceremonies and other events. I rarely come across our locally grown rice. Personally, I'd prefer the local ones to the imported because I heard it's nutritious and more palatable. But I rarely some across them, not even in markets. 3 Likes |

To those saying Osun is a poor state and the people in Osun can't afford to lodge in the hotel. I believe state's IGR is one of the major factors in determining how rich or poor a state is going by this post by "Nigeria buisinessday". http://www.businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php/analysis/columnists/48182-igr-the-real-test-of-state-viability- IGR: The real test of state viability Earlier this week, it was published that Osun state's IGR now stands at N1.6billion Osun's Monthly IGR Jumps from N300million to N1.6billion in 3 years. If I'm not wrong, not more than ten states generate more than the N1.6billion Osun generates monthly. Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Oyo, Imo, Ogun, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Kano. Does is mean that any state that has lesser IGR that these states up are poor states? which include: Abuja, Ondo, Anambra, Kwara, Abia. |

I think it's a lagos state project, there is a part where the rail track is raised as high as 4meters. It's a good plan. deor03: What is the attaraction for people to sell things close to rail lines in Nigeria ? Some Nigerians actually need serious orientation and iron-hand. Any opportunity to display their primitive nature, they'll always use it. I keep saying this, "anyone that is in need of a good, product or any commodity will go to the rightful place where they are being sold, if those hawkers are not in rail stations and bus-stops". |

Still the best governor for me. -Doing great work in his state, despite being one of least paid state by the FG. -Moving the state IGR from N300m to N1.6b -Attracting investors to his state like never before. -introducing ICT into education with the his idea of 'opon imo', making the state spend less on text books and note books for students.

I know a little of the ACN wing of the opposition and not the whole APC. Expect this if Nigeria is governed by them. Nigerians to pay tax like never before, (people living in SW states except Ondo pay hell of a tax). Increment in monthly IGR. E.g. Osun's Igr moving from N300m to N1.6b, Ogun's Igr moving from N600m to N4b, Lagos' Igr moved from N600m to N27b. Increment in public institutions' fee.(Students of Lagos state university understand better). god-fatherism belonging to one man, unlike multiple god fathers in the ruling party. Reduction in corruption and blockage of loopholes. States to have independent police. Development in all ramification. |

chi 3280: They always seek for our endorsement then later they turn around to deport us. Isn't that amazing? Your people were not the only ones that were reunited with their families by Lagos government. Osun indegenes and Northerners(over 2000) were also reunited, before and even after the Lagos-onitcha reunion. Not that I'm in support of that action of reunion/deportation... But we don't have to tribalize it, it stinks. 9 Likes |

1MCN: It's not just an Ebonyi thing, every state of the federation have their youths in thousands selling stuffs on highway. You find youths from Ogun, Anambra, Akwa-ibom, Kaduna, even Abuja on highways hawking. Our government(both state and federal) need to work collectively in providing meaningful and less risky jobs for our youth. @ topic, a good plan from Ebonyi state government. |
