This is nothing but capitalist thinking. It's the same argument one president will use in the future to push up prices citing "cost-reflective" bla bla". It is not everything that's monetary. Also, some benefits are not directly monetary. The railways have opened up new places, improved trade and provided employment. It is evident in major communities surrounding train stations e.g Kubwa, Rigasa, Moniya etc

I don't know where the current set of governors got this new energy of borrowing hundreds of billions.

We're just suffering ourselves practising this blend of democracy. There's no way someone will spend hundreds of millions to win elections and you expect him not to recover his costs. Add to that, the pressure from family, friends, community etc to get their share pushes the politician to steal the more. We can't eat our cake and have it

OP. Kindly check Gombe and Dutse and revert. Those are well lit unsung state capitals

"Monitoring their turnover to facilitate the collection and remittance of VAT to FIRS." Even formal entities you're not done monitoring their businesses and now you want start poke nosing into small businesses. I feel the informal sector should be handled by states and LG. Also, this might just be another tax burden.

Islamophobes everywhere!

You're hare-brained. Go and read about SAP in the 80s

Let's wait and see its fruition. I don't trust world bank

I'm 100% sure that even if the budget allocation is doubled, nothing will change. The problem of Niger Delta is majorly the governors. Delta State and Bayelsa State received trillions of Naira in the last decade, but only a small chunk of it was utilised. I learnt that Warri is now a city of keke napeps.
The general populace have their problem too--they prefer monetary gestures to community development.
Ever since the NDDC was created, it has been led by a Niger Deltan. But each administratiion has been replete with corruption. Even the small chunk of money spent is skewed towards the non oil producing communities.
I hereby submit that Niger Delta problem is self inflicted. Let the citizens and leaders lean the Augean stable first, before going out to seek for more allocation

Its official! The Awujale of Ijebuland HRM Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona has formally conferred the title of Gbobaniyi Akile Ijebu on Malam Nasir.

He is privileged to be the first Nigerian outside of South-West of Nigeria to be conferred with a chieftaincy title by the Awujale in his nearly 64-year reign.

Elrufai, one of the very few Nigerians who when given responsibilities deliver to their utmost, not caring about whose ox is gored

I am currently facing this decision, I am really getting closer and just left with the method. There's no motivation or joy to keep leaving in this condition. I'm a burden to those around me

There's no point taking that route. Just have in your mind that tomorrow will be better. There are thousands of people who experienced even deeper depression but were able to emerge from it. If you are a muslim, frequent the mosque , relate with good people and minimise being alone. Go out and hustle or learn something. Keep praying

Even if it is 2 trillion, let them continue shouldering it. We are yet to see the trillions "savings" from fuel subsidy removal. It's just profligacy being accelerated at turbo speed

Chai. It's time for Africa to support its pharmacists on drug development and production. Emzor, Asad, M&B etc should expand their portfolio. It's appalling that 99% of Nigerian pharmacists work as drug dispensers-something that some illiterates learn the ropes in few years. Let's dust off those research in our universities and scale them up. I remember a Prof from ABU had developed an anti malarial called Herb 25. Such innovations must be spurred

Eto'o and Yaya Toure are the GOATs

What is the price and weight per square meter?

Hmmm. This is what happens when there are no consequences.

He is on track. Since he's no more encumbered by a public appointment, he is free to criticise. Does it make sense for the handle to post a news celebrating an athlete at this point in time when more than a hundred were bombed?

Ddd

Brendaniel:
This is the person APC supporters were praising as a performer, 100 million dollars is over 100 billion naira, he served 8 years as governor, where did he get all that money from, what were his businesses before he became governor?

Modified

He is not putting the whole 100 million dollars, he is putting in 2million dollars, however 2 million dollars is over 2 billion naira which is not small money either and also how are we not sure he will not use people to front in raising the remaining to divert attention away from himself.....

Go and do some research on who Elrufai was before he joined the public sector. Man was rich from a young age. I'm not insinuating that he's not got sth from the public till, neither can I confirm it. We work with what is obvious to everyone

I hope is not southern kaduna?? Thos people are suffering alot, but they should not give up, for i would soon become the next president of Nigeria after 16YRS FROM TODAY.

If this accident had happened in southerm Kaduna, people like you will calm that the military high command are on a mission to annihilate the residents there. But this is muslim territory, it doesn't fit into such puerile propaganda

Number Of Lunatics Has Increased In Lagos Due To Hardship Under Tinubu, Governor Sanwo-Olu — Economist, Rewane Laments

Bismark was one of the proponents of cost reflective prices of Petroleum products and full floating of Naira. Tinubu listened to his likes and did their bidding. And today they aren't even ashamed to turn around and blame same person. Economists are part of the people that have put this country in a mess-right from the SAP days to today. They'll just copy and paste from books or foreign lands. We need economists who know both our formal and informal sectors. We can't continue all these trial and error experiments

The bag can be symbolic. In this digital age, the budget can be transmitted electronically

And to think that you're supposed to have a brain. Just read what you typed with your dying fingers.

I can't engage bigots like you

Muslims and hospitality are 5&6. Although in captivity, those hostages might have seen who the Gazans really are, not what's sold to them by their government and western media.

I got married around 30. I'll have loved to marry at max 27 yrs. The battle against temptations in the late 20s is herculean. Except those who engage in premarital sex

Every politician wants a university in their backyards

Does that mean the illegitimate child won't bear his father's name? If yes, how will he be named?

Abeg make him shift. How much is Nigeria's annual budget sef that he's asking for such humungous amount!

Cost of C of O for a 2 bedroom in Kuje equal to that of a multimillion mansion in Asokoro? It doesn't make sense at all. Why should CofO be even exorbitant in the first place?

Same people admitting sleeping with girls below 18, will metamorphose to full blown islamophobes when they hear a Muslim girl legally betrothed at an age below 18. Double standard

delpee:
The detailed story shows that they were warned not to build on pipeline areas, drainage channels and road setbacks. They were hoping that FHA will regularise their misdemeanor. Same as it happened in Ajao Estate and Lekki. People need to learn to abide with the laws and regulations of the society in which they live.

I agree with you, 100%. What I'm saying is that there are agencies of state govt that shouldn't have even allowed such structures to stand. But perhaps they got their share in the largesse

Where was the FHA when they built such a number of houses? I hate when sth happens under your nose and you come several years to feign ignorance.
