I agree with you.

In modern day psychology terms, it is called the "broken windows theory", which states that if small signs of disorder (like graffiti on the walls, broken windows, trash lying around) are ignored, people will move on to bigger and more daring vices.

This is the reason why the first thing developed nations do is to make the environment beautiful as it lowers crime because the psyche of the average residents become beautiful too. Weird, I know but it's just the way humans are wired.

Thank you for observing this too.

The indigenes of Abuja are people who we consider northerners, so it is expected. Wike becoming the FCT minister and nobody protesting against it shows that everyone is welcome in the territory. In fact, the only senator representing the FCT isn't even from the FCT and they are not protesting.

Abuja is the only place you go to and Nigerians of all tribes are named after streets and strategic monuments. In my view, Abuja is a perfect capital because the natives are extremely accommodating and welcoming. There's nothing wrong with it having northern feels because the earliest settlers are predominantly northerners.

In short, I think more efforts should be made to preserve the natives' culture and legislation made to give the natives key government appointments/positions because Nigeria has practically taken everything from them. We don't have to wait for them to start protesting and destroying public infrastructure before the right thing is done.

Aggrieved, the Plateau state government and the state house of assembly filed a lawsuit at the supreme court (SC. 113/2004) on June 24, 2004, challenging the president’s actions.
Delivering judgment on January 20, 2006, a seven-member panel of the apex court led by then-chief justice of Nigeria, Muhammadu Uwais, struck out the case on jurisdictional grounds:


does anybody see something wrong here? why does it take 2 years for the supreme court to make a simple decision??

Megabig:
Well, most First Lady initiatives are to work with school feeding programs and the less privileged and also served as a medium to siphon funds, since her office is already existing with some programs before her demise, someone competent enough should continue to drive it.

They should make that office legal to mainly focus on child rape and abuse so that states can handle those cases with their First Ladies than touring all over the place and wasting government funds on jeweries, they should have some well defined responsibility because they will waste our resources even if we like or not.

Wicked people

I am afraid something like this "might" happen in Maitama Abuja.

I watched a the story complex built and the beams that supported the structure were so tiny and looked like they will collapse in my estimation. I would not have believed that it will be used as a school. I thought it was meant to be a shopping complex!

Right now it is a full fledged secondary school with children attending and parents are non the wiser.

The school is allegedly owned by a former governor from the south east and allegedly a "philanthropist"; whose property recently collapsed this month also in Abuja.

FromZeroToHero:
There's this school in my area that started in 2017 with a small bungalow. Before it was just a Nursery and primary school but as of today the building is already a 4 storey building because they now have both secondary school.

From the look of this building you will know that its a disaster waiting to happen. There are visible cracks around the building which they always use plaster and paint to cover. I want to report it to the appropriate authority but I don't know how to do so.
