According to the French Ambassador, this is a €110m euro project but only $6m has been secured. How will the next government raise the balance?. I hope this is not a plan to have another light rail that would take 20 years to complete like we are heading for in Lagos.

It's taken Lagos 16 years to complete a phase of less than 50km and the ambition of Lagos is to have like 300km. Hmmm

Money that'll be stolen and you won't hear anything about it again

oyebanji44:
They have started copying Lagos .....


Tinubu brilliant idea is gaining momentum across the nation....

Ordinary $6 million is what a whole Kaduna cannot raise within a year or two.

It's laudable they're building rail and BRT, it's pathetic borrowing is seen as a norm in a country where wastage of public resources is the norm.

Even the borrowing Lagos did, they can raise that money internally within a few years. But borrowed money is like stolen waters, always sweet in the mouth of the thieves.

Until the next generation start battling the problems of the past compounded with the challenges of the future.

UncleAyo:
Sometime, it is inferiority complex for Africans to put on suit.

You will see universities and lecturers forcing students to put of suit for their academic project defence. Thinking it makes them look smart.

Are there not Yoruba cloths that are smart and can as well replace suit? Is our hot weather not inclement enough to discourage one from wearing suit?

Will it not be good if:
1. Science is taught in both native language and English up to Secondary School level.
2. You create your videos contents (Youtube, instagram e.t.c) and blog posts in both English and your native language.
3. Students are mandated to on Fridays speak only native language in schools and in their classes?

All these things you mentioned are laudable but it will take a government that thinks, plans and executes to do those

We only had a set of leaders like that in the first republic.

Racoon:
Despite the adequate publicity and sensitisation? Nigerians will always be Nigerians.

They didn't just start being Nigerians all of a sudden.

Years of terrible, irresponsible leadership has built those habits into their subconscious.

highchief1:
what is Obi score card in anambra.during his time we had outstanding govs like akapabio,duke.tell us one major thg Obi did.u ppl are sick.that u want to change a status quo doesn’t mean u should change it with anything.let’s assume Obi is a good man,who will be his ministers?who will be his service chiefs?if the ppl ariund him are not good like him what will happen to his govt.Don’t u know that obidients arr those angry they didn’t get a chance to steal and hence are fighting to get a chance so they can cash out their own?do u actually feel they have Nigeria at heart?are u not reading how they are misappropriating funds even when they have not gotten to govt.I am not in Nigeria o,if the country wants to perish let it perish.but u guys must learn to tell yourself the truth.Obi is not the messiah.

Obi isn't the best and neither is he the messiah. But why not put Duke on the ballot at this time and see whether he won't outstand Obi.

Oba isn't a saint. But he's better than the remaining two major contenders.

BanyXchi:
omg why are you ibos so delusi0nal? I notice that many of your people even the learned ones that should know better always push fantasical takes.... Let me tell you something clear. Just because you people are known to commit crimes more than Yorubas doesn't mean you travel more than Yorubas. No ethnic group in the whole of Africa travels as much as Omoluabis. I've been to countries you probably never have heard before and I've seen a lot of Omoluabis there. I've been privileged to travel to a lot of countries around the world. From the rich and exotic ones to the poor ones, I'm so surprised to see a lot of my people there..... Also I want you to understand Yorubas are more than any ethnic group in the Western world and that's where our remittance comes from majorly.... All those importer dollars nonsense only lives in your fantasies. Omo you people are delusional... You think a lot of Yorubas are also not angry with the APC government?? Lol

They sometimes think it's because of APC. I've been fighting APC tooth and nail on this forum but that doesn't mean that Southeasterners are not troubled by "I better pass you" syndrome.

They like reveling in being better than other people and any indices that suggests otherwise, they'd fight tooth and nail.

Moh247:




Let's develop Nigeria and this would stop


On power and electricity Atiku sold NEPA to his firm and imports Generator

Tinubu built the first Independent power plant for Lagos which was later taken by FG

While Nadeco fought long hard for Democracy we know who wasn't involved and who came in to rescue


Know how many Anambra Indegene are locked up overseas vs Lagos indegene who are free



.

Tinubu is too old to do anything now compared to what he would have done in the early days.

His handlers are just vultures and profiteers who know that the man needs rest but for their selfish purpose keep marketing him.

He wants to je called "president". That's all he wants. But the vultures around him wants to enjoy what Yussuf, Kyari, Bashir Ahmed, Tunde etc enjoyed in Buhari's time.

That's why they're dangerous. A new cabal is coming if Tinubu becomes president. This new cabal would be more dangerous than the one of Buhari's time because those who would make up the cabal are more educated than those in Buhari's clan.

May God save Nigeria.

BOLATINUBU01:
See this labourer

Una go labour in vain


JAGABAN IS our president

President of zombies.....of course.

He won't be Nigeria's president though. Nigeria is on her pathway to progress and nether Tinubu nor his gang of sophisticated zombies will stop Nigeria.

The truly sophisticated people in Nigeria will stop Tinubu by their votes come 2023.

Jack500:
He should keep deceiving his fellow zombidients.

One thing is certain, Tinubu is the next president.

All these zombidients should sha not deactivate their account by February, so I can mock you fools properly

A typical zombie's response.

Counter what he said. If you're sure, affirm that the most greedy set of politicians in Nigeria today are not in APC.


Tinubu wouldn't win. Just so you know. The odds will work against his presidency.

God1000:
University of Ibadan
Lead city university
Ajayi Crowther university
Oyo technical university
LAUTECH
National open university

At least the ones I know

Leave the private schools including the Technical University. It's for the few people that can afford them.

Despite the number of universities in Oyo State, do you know how many students pass their UTME and couldn't gain admission every year?

We need more universities though (heavily funded with heavy funding for the existing ones). The problem is, does our economy provide enough jobs for the average Nigerian graduate?

samwash:
When will international students from Europe, American,Asia, Canada start flooding our higher institution of learning?
Someone, pls help me check if our government has scholarships for international students?

How many scholarship do they offer for home students to start with?

Majority of us would have stayed back in Nigeria after graduation if there were scholarships to further but where will you see it?


Even if those foreign students come with their money, what will they meet? ASUU strike? Unstable electricity on campus? Cultism? Armed robbery?

It's well with Nigeria. The country will be free one day.

EmahBoss:
Borrowing is not the problem, but this money is not accounted for...

Merry Christmas Nairalanders...

Borrowing will always be a problem for a country that has problem with spending instead of revenue problems.

By this time next year, Mr Femi Adesina would have gone into hiding.....



Keep blabbering for the last season.

UnusualEmissary:
How do you present yourself before them? How do you look physically too?

If you're sure the way you carry and present yourself is befitting of your age and worthy of respect, and they still disrespect you despite that, then you may talk to them gently and properly concerning that and advise them on better conduct.

Or you just ignore them especially if you feel trying to talk to them can worsen the case...

Nailed it bro

Guys don't have much problem once you know how to present yourself and carry yourself with air of respect (not pride Sha).

I had some men in there 40s while I was in my early 20s on campus. We call some of them by their names but you'll see the signs of respect there.

Do you interfere whenever they converse?

Do you joke unnecessarily with them?

Do you taunt females with them? What kind of communication do you have with them?

God1000:
The rate of divorce these days is alarming

The rate of people who are not ready for "better or worse" is alarming.

What worries me is that everyone is seeing what is happening with 2023 election and Nigerians are quiet....


APC is making it more difficult to live by the day and yet, a lot of people are still supporting them for 2023.

If this is some kind of spell on Nigerians, it'll fail before the election. God will disappoint all the detractors of Nigeria.

oyebanji44:
Only that the truth is bitter...

Obi should be blamed for all the attacks against his Lp members. ..

Why must he bring a structureless party outside SE domain to disrupt those existing parties there..? Why


We have never had it so bad like this be4

I'm sorry to say but you need your head checked for mental evaluation.

I'm not insinuating anything o

The state should be competing with Lagos in terms of projects going by that humongous budget.

See trains.....

And that's not an entire country neither was there noises about the new trains...

It is the new policies that made us know the kind of trains they're using.

What's the greatest thing Nigeria built since 1999, national trains, funded by the FG with borrowed money from China. Ordinary people cannot even use the trains.

A time is coming in Nigeria, when state governments will embark on massive projects of a greater magnitude and there won't be a noise, borrowing or hullabaloo about it.

But first, these set of corrupt leadership must go.

udofia234:
I can do that very well , but I feel that will be embarrassing to her.

If it means embarrassing her, please do. It's all about saving yourself first, not saving her face.

Let your body language speak first by withdrawing when she moves closer, if she doesn get it, calmly tell her "I actually don't feel comfortable by too much physical closeness. I'm sorry if this sounds embarrassing to you".

Simple as that.

Ttalk:
We don't need works bank to tell us that.

Are you insinuating the South should wait for the north ni, or Nigeria should concentrate development in the north so as to meet up with the South?

This is one reason Nigeria should not allow the likes of Akinwunmi Adeshina, Okonjo Iweala, Ezekwesili to become Nigeria's president. They have been so hypnotized with western education that their policies would always under develop Nigeria

Don't you get afraid of the government favouring the north over the south. It has always been so in Nigeria's history and sometimes, it looks like vengeance is being meted on northern Nigeria considering what is happening. The only reason we can't call it vengeance is that innocent people are the ones suffering.

The governors and presidents think development comes by merely building roads, bridges and school. But that's incorrect. Development comes when there is security. After which people are interested in settling down to carry out business. Then you enforce massive education. At that point, building infrastructure will make sense.

But at the rate they're going, they'll just keep building infrasture that'll be wasting. When HDI and security are low, there can never be development.

If it's true, that's wrong. Just like it would be wrong if it was vice versa

What are you saying?

Did schools in Oyo State start singing carols when Seyi Makinde came in? Has there ever been anyone forcing students to sing Christmas carol?

Most Christmas carols in Oyo State schools are organised by their school fellowships which is totally voluntary except in Church owned schools. Even in those church own schools, they don't force anyone.

The f*olish professor will soon get tired because a lot of people in Oyo State are tired religion without results.

They'd rather do the three religions together to get what they want rather than shouting and shouting in the name of religion while they go hungry.

They can say that for as many times as they want.

But one thing is certain, at 23, Mbappe reach world cup finals twice. That's not something easily dismissive.

There are not many Mbappe in recent times. So the guy must be acknowledged. Messi is great but Messi is not the overall standard for everything football.

NwaMamaIwota:


if Messi is the one that did this, they'll defend him saying that he's angry because he was knocked out.
so you expect Ronaldo to be shining teeth because Morocco broke record ?
this is the reason I'll never rate Messi ahead of Ronaldo because if Messi face half of the media hate Ronaldo has faced throughout his career, he would have retired long ago.
they will easily break him to pieces.
but Ronaldo has been facing media hate right from his starting days of his career to now yet he stood firm and keep breaking records.
Messi is fifa and media darling hence some of his achievements will remain questionable.

The guy has even busied himself with the training facilities at Real Madrid, the same club people he "fought"

If you want to learn anything about building a career through hardwork, sense of self-worth, consistency and resilience, Ronaldo is the man to learn from.


Messi is highly talented, in fact more than Ronaldo. But an average person cannot learn Messi because Messi operates by talent.

You se Ronaldo, he's an example of zeal. Any average person that has zeal and passion can walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the highly talented. That's why I love and rate Ronaldo above Messi.

fuckJones:
Do you know that 2nd Niger Bridge was conceived in 1964.

The AKK gas pipeline was conceived in 1971.

The Anambra, Kashibilla, Zungeru & Mambilla dams were conceived in 1975.

The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was conceived in 1978.
The Lagos-Kano double standard rail guage was conceived in 1982

The Warri-Itakpe standard guage rail line was conceived in 1986.

The Ajaokuta steel company was conceived in 1962.

The National Steel development was conceived in 1966.
These are some of the ideas our founding fathers conceived but weren't done when Nigeria was working.

Today, most of the aforementioned is either ongoing or completed by President Muhammadu Buhari Les APC administration.

This is one of the many reasons we love and we will vote APC.

Buhari was one of those who dragged Nigeria backwards during military rule.


That he worked on SOME of those projects now doesn't negate the fact that Nigeria has been traveling in reverse since he came in.


Imagine Nigeria still executing projects conceived since 90s while Saudi (who started at around the same time as Nigeria) is already building a project of 100 years to come.


APC know how to build a road and starve those that'll work the road. PDP on the other hand are prodigal children. We want neither of them.

One yeye lecturer in his exam will be like " who was the first driver to go through the second niger bridge and what type of car was he driving and state the date and time

our doctors are leaving....and now,our teachers?

Let me see anyone that'll condemn the teachers that want to leave....

Ngige told out doctors to go to the farm, they're leaving and we're crying. Yet, some are calling for the doctors' head while Ngige is still chilling in his office.

Two people who are sincere with each other will go far not minding where they first meet.

If having stable electricity is this hard, how did Asia, Europe and North America achieved it?

StrongAlphMale:
Ogun along with the entire Yorubaland is an eyesore. Very dirty place

Focus on your land then!!!

No one is asking you for any comparison. You're the one making things hard for Nigerians when it comes to making decisions that cut across ethnic lines.


Yorubaland is an eyesore, then leave them alone and live in your Shanghai and Hong Kong of Nigeria!

She wants to use your head nìyẹn....
As in, she wants you to be funding her lifestyle.
