Nigerian Governor's built flyovers



While European counterpart built industries.


In the 90s and early 00, Their achievement were building boreholes and electricity.

Europeans have governors? Okay tell us which European of the status of a governor has built any industry.

Op please be reasnable. You are posting on nairaland for all nairalanders to see but how can we appreciate the content when we have no idea what was posted?

When people make statement also see their context, he is not speaking as the society, he is speaking as a pastor. He is guided by the law of God not the society. Genuine pastors views are shaped by the word of God.

Where does the scripture say women are created to be taken care of? Are you meant to be a burden or a help??

Ohibenemma:
What is my argument, smarty? I said Ikirodah's comment is flawed because BOTH guys are/were ACTUALLY OF SAME PARTY if party was the issue. Alimikhena’s 2 term victories came through the APC. Did he stop speaking good English after joining the PDP? How did he manage to get a second term despite that and others? Would Ikirodah have been concerned had he still been a FAITHFUL APCite? Is his terrible record for the past 8years because he crossed over to the PDP recently?

Thankfully, I currently do not support either party, but were I to vote today, I’d support Oshiomhole over him on account of his antecedents.

But the writer never made party the issue.

He merely mentioned in passing that he is surprised PDP is still goving him a platform - and that is based on his 8 years of alleged failure. By which we can deduce that APC must have chucked him out for being unprofitable. Still that was never the main point.

The main point was simply that Oshiomole is superior.

So really...no issue here, is there?

Aufbauh:
When will people learn that wanton endorsement by sectoral group doesn't translates to votes?
The decision to elect someone is a matter of personal perception and conviction. That's why it is democracy & not autocracy or oligarchy.

I'm a Northern Christian and I'll vote Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu regardless of who my G.O, provincial pastor, zonal pastor or parish pastor adopt/endorsed.

What's your reasoning? Just curious.

Ohibenemma:
The bigger question is why should this be on Nairaland frontpage? This is local gossip at best. Ikirodah handpicks some select comments, analyses them in his usual myopic, self-serving manner, and boom! It's on Frontpage!

Really

Nairaland should do better than this nau.

Now, on the topic. Everyone in and from Edo North knows that Francis Alimikhena was a compound failure, but on which party’s platform did he achieve two terms? Ikirodah stylishly avoided that.

We expect Oshiomhole to do much better, but that's not on account of his party, but on account of self.

When history remembers Alimikhena, it will be remembered that a visionless man who can't make a single correct sentence in English, who thinks Senatorial office is all about sharing a few Keke Napeps and motorcycles and grinding engines was foisted on Edo North people by the APC

How can APC be dissociated from the competence of Oshiomole but responsible for the incompetence of another? Stay on one side so your argument can be clear.

Really? A cashless transition without the necessary infrastructure in proper place? Network issues, failed transactions, transactions declined yet customer is debited, poor security of customers deposits via hacking etc. A cashless policy is good only when the government ensures that the infrastructure to operate the policy is in excellent conditions. Get to the banks customer care service and see if a greater percentage of those under pressure for a refund or reversal of monies into their accounts due to all these failures and more are not the poor and low income earners. I think the real reason for the change in the color of the naira was majorly to reduce the cost of producing the naira notes itself because the CBN has been complaining that it cost way above the real value of the note to print them in the former, before this present one that has just been commissioned

1. What on earth are you talking about? We are not going completely cashless. We are going cashless for LARGE TRANSACTIONS. In that sense, life for the common man remains exactly the same. You won't face ang reatrictions with withdrawing petty cash. The restrictions are for those withddawjng large sums.

2. So the government set about reducing the cost of printing money...by printing a huge quantity of money? Please explain how this makes sense to you.

lhordspy:
I thought Emefiele said this re-designing of the Niara notes is targetted at curtailing money-hoarding, bribery and corruption.

The first mistake is using a light-coloured design. The petty traders on the street and market will be targetted by counterfeiters. It will be more difficult to detect a counterfeit notes now. Since both the counterfeit and originals are both light in colour.

And With this new process they are introducing that involves lot of forms-filling. It is very clear they are only looking for ways to punish the common man. Emefiele is clueless.

No big man or politician will line-up in banks to fill forms for cash even prior to this. Just a simple call to the manager will do the magic. They will always find a way around this too. Just like how they managed in evading the former rules put in place.

The common man is the loser here.

You have no clue how these things work.

It's obvious the common man does not withdraw the large sums of money Emefiele is talking about. So it obviously won't affect them in any way.

Even those so called big men who dont go to the bank must still fill those forms whether they fill them at home or in their offices.

The idea is not that you must come and stand in the bank. It is that law enforcement should be able to monitor your use of that money to prevent criminal activity.

We are talking about transiting to a cashless economy as is the global standard, you are here picking imaginary faults.

Logically, what doea a common man want to use 10 million in cash, for example, to do that he or she cant do by electronic payments?

RenaissanceGuy:
How would anyone even believe in the first place that the monthly 13% crude oil derivations were not being paid since 1999 until Buhari came?

If you read through you will see that he was actually confirming what Wike said. There was some portion of the 13% allocation that was not paid. What this person is saying is that it was not that pervious governments refused to pay. It was that they overlooked it until it was brought to the notice of the Buhari government.

jowhyte:
It seems Wike is truly on ground in PH. If he won’t be supporting his party at the presidential level, APC that has plunged Nigeria into this colossal economic hardship that ought to be punished at the poll should not be Wike option. Any other people-focused candidates like Obi, anything short of that shows is just after his own interest not the people. Outside APC poor performance, Tinubu is too old and feeble to run this country at this dire time.

Read the signs.

Wike will not openly support anyone. He has befriended everyone while making sure PDP will fail.

This way he knows whoever enters power will not be his enemy.

CheapHomes1:
How does redesigning naira note affect election?

It's obvious. Corrupt politicians keep their money in cash to evade scrutiny. Forcing them to bring it into the financial system through the naira redesign means that now they can't easily pay their thugs or buy votes when the elections come. Because big deposits and withdrawals are automatically investigated.

obedience4:
Dude I read it,
Do you really think changing new notes will stop the looting,
You cab move 1billon naira in hours into the system if you have the means so you think political personalities who are know to have access to multiple account's and have tiles with banks won't have clean their money.

Who says it has anything to do with stopping looting? He said it was meant to force the money that has already been looted into the banking system. Of course, looting will continue thereafter but once money enters a bank, it is so much harder to do anything funny with it.

You should understand that there is a reason they keep these funds in cash in the first place! And it's not because they just like having cash lying around, which is inconvenient and risky.

When money enters the banking system it comes under the watchful eyes of the NFIU. Any deposit or withdrawal above a certain figure is flagged automatically. The NFIU will then investigate and pass on information to the CBN and EFCC.

Now, redesigning the naira has been done at this time, specifically to make it harder for election riggers to use their stolen loot to manipulate the elections. Simple.

awoo10:
This doesn't stop them from relooting...the problem is with the system not the people!!! Put a system in place for proper actions against looting n watch how economic policies will work.

This is not about loot. It's about elections.

They were well aware but the political climate made it unfeasible.

Thay was why they rigged the north into power so.as to exercise proxy control.

The first oil field in the northern part of the country.

Thank you, Baba Buhari!!

This is indeed good news. Hopefully, they find more so that you people can finally accept the reality of restructuring.

Kindly post the link to the report for deeper scrutiny, please.

We should not politicise everythign!

Farouk Kperogi ought to know that the essence of this policy is to starve election riggers of their most powerful tool.

Buhari is doing his best to give us the platform to actualize our desires and ought to be supported.

This pull him down because he is from a different party mentality must stop!

Governance is difficult, especially from an economic perspective. Some decisions will lead to gains in the long run but will cause short-term pain. I believe Buhari took some hard decisions that offer great promise for the future.

For instance, the import restriction on things like rice has allowed the rice industry to grow, which is now set to turn Nigeria into a net exporter of rice, and a dominant player in the west African rice milling industry. Unfortunately, insecurity has meant that farmers are unable to go to the farms, and this has meant that we have not been fully able to take full advantage of the opportunity. But as the war against insecurity makes progress, so also will our progress with agriculture, and rice production especially.

Secondly, one of the really notable things Buhari has done is to create an enabling atmosphere for free and fair elections. With the passing into Law of the new electoral Act, and clamping down on hoarded cash, the electoral playing field is much more level today, than it has ever been in Nigeria.

We have also seen that under Buhari, our military has made a series of acquisitions of advanced military equipment which have reflected in serious gains in the war against terror in Nigeria. In the past regime, we saw that these monies have been squandered by politicians, thereby putting soldiers' lives in danger. In the early days of Buhari's regime, we saw similar issues, however, with the service chiefs rotated out, we have not heard such stories in years.

Finally, we have also seen that the military is taking control of troubled spots across the nation. People can now travel Abuja - Kaduna road. Life has gone back to normal in most of the northeast. Fulani herdsmen no longer go on the rampage as before, though they have not completely quit their nefarious activities.

We've also heard, recently, how Buhari released billions of naira to the south-south oil-producing states, which had been denied them since the Obasanjo days.

There are good days on the horizon for the Republic if the next president will build on these developments.

Buhari made some mistakes, particularly with the economy and some of his nepotistic ways. But, he has been doing well of late.

I am fully regretting marrying my wife. She is always right and doesn't take corrections.
She doesn't have sex drive. Prefer sleeping alone that she doesn't want someone body to touch her.
She is not serious in anything that can generate money.
I have made a lifetime mistake. Sometimes I feel like committing suicide to get free from regretting. I am seeing myself going down slowly.

Pack your load and move. If you dont believe in divorce then please separate asap.

Simple. Because they need him to support their governorship and legislative candidates.

The presidential candidate is not the only stakeholder.

But its obvious.

Delta State should ask themeselves why Atiku chose Okowa if not to finance his election eith Delta state monies.

Zainab Ahmed that resisted the naira redesign. We are taking note.
