PoliticsRe: Edo: INEC Tells 15 Political Parties To Conduct Their Primaries In 10 Days by simigold: 4:09pm On Jun 17, 2020
Courts in Nigeria are the major stumbling blocks to advance democracy in Nigeria. They are clogs in the wheel. Don't be surprised someone will go to court to stop the primary of APC for it not to meet the deadline and the court will graciously grant it. One of the most corrupt institution in Nigeria.

PoliticsRe: Oshiomhole Once Wanted Building Named After Obaseki For ‘selfless Service’ by simigold: 6:56pm On Jun 13, 2020
I remember the words of Ben Bruce when Silverbird hosted Oshiomole when he first became Governor that "what surprised him most is during the period Osho was NLC President, he will fight government publicly in the day and will be at dinner table at night with the same people he was fighting in the day". So never trust politicians with their words, it's coated with honey and spice.

The worst of them all is Standard Chartered Bank. It's customer service is ghost operation, in short it's a ghost bank meant for ghosts. It's headquarters and branches should be situated in different cemeteries across the nation.
PoliticsRe: Edo 2020: Idahosa Thanks Buhari, Says Oshiomhole Can’t Be Trusted by simigold: 10:25am On Jun 05, 2020
Even those fighting the governor under the acronym of Edo Peoples Movement (EPM) led by Oshiomhole have not accused him of non- performance. The only allegation they leveled against him was that he is not giving them money to share.


This is such a daft statement from a daft man. How can someone level allegation of not "sharing money" (tax payers' money)

Is this a joke or something? The level of IQ of some people are just dangerously incredible.

I think Derek must have had a beef with Floyd prior and waiting for the right time to strike cuz they had both worked together in the same company for many years.

Donald Trump's statement incited the violence more.

If u aren't "talking of personal governance or the performance of individual candidates", how does ambode fit into d discussion in your previous comment?
To show that whether you performed or not, this people have the machinery to stall except if he wants to use another party, so that's why I mentioned Ambode that even performed so well was denied the ticket

Am not even talking of personal governance or the performance of individual candidates here but to use common sense and wisdom when handling people and governance. A rat will eat the soul of the feet and blow it at thetsame time for you not to suspect anything.
PoliticsRe: APC NWC May Screen Out Obaseki Over Certificate Issue by simigold: 8:55am On Jun 01, 2020
Obaseki is getting choked. Yorubas say "you add friends to friends and not enemies to enemies".

He was busy attacking members of national assembly when they formed a committee to settle issues.

He was asked to swear in other members of the assembly but he was busy quoting laws. Even the President asked him, he told him he can only make declaration once.

Even if you want to deal with your godfather, why don't you wait for the second term.

Ambode performed more than you remember but never underestimate the powers of kingmakers, they can make or mar u. Don't go to them in the first place if you won't honor them, make yourself King if you could.
PoliticsRe: Obaseki, 7 Governors Meet Tinubu Ahead Of Edo Election by simigold: 9:33pm On May 31, 2020
Obaseki should go and ask Ambode how many governors went with him to Tinubu. One even prostrated, Tinubu even shed crocodile tears. Laslas egungun enter express.
PoliticsRe: Edo Primary: APC Governors To Meet Tinubu Over Obaseki by simigold: 8:54am On May 31, 2020
When there was gang up to remove the APC National Chairman, the governor's didn't rally Buhari and Tinubu to save him. Life is a game!
PoliticsRe: Abdulrahman Abdulrazak: A Celebration Of Non- Performance - Razak Atunwa by simigold: 6:50pm On May 29, 2020
You should first note the first major problem here or rather what many failed to put into cognizance before going into real governance.

That is the fact that you mentioned the state being predominantly a Civil Service state. About 95% of the State allocations will go into payment of salaries, they depend mostly on tax and to undertake capital projects become Herculean tasks.

The governor also thinks investors just come in like that without putting some things into consideration.

A country like Nigeria where most companies or organizations like to situate their headquarters in Lagos or Abuja, factories and production in other parts of the country.

Even at that, the purchasing power of Kwara residents are low and as such might not be economically viable for investors where they will have to bear extra cost for transporting goods to where there's the real market.

Rather than waiting for investors that might never come, the state should invest heavily in training of its citizens to acquire deep skills and support start-ups critical of her economy.

Governance is not just talk and promise, it involves planning, action plan, master plan and deep research to get available facts and figures.

You are quick to prosecute but slow to give palliative. You know the data on prosecution but you don't have the data to give palliative.
TravelRe: Lagos New Guidelines For Public Transport Operations by simigold: 8:48pm On May 01, 2020
Petroleum pump price should be reduced further to aid the directives because I can imagine drivers carrying 6 passengers from mainland to island, the transport fare will skyrocket and will not commensurate with income or salary.

The government doesn't want to offer any palliative in any form at all. They want to eat their cake and have it all the time.

Such a stingy but greedy government.
