Sad news. I remember this name. May God grant his family solace

Parachoko:
Nigeria was borrowing to pay for subsidy before Asiwaju became the President

Under Jonathan, we were borrowing to pay Salaries, borrowing to pay for subsidy, Pension, and also borrowing to build projects

Under Buhari, we were borrowing to pay subsidy on fuel, and also borrowing to pay salaries, pensions and also borrowing to build projects


Under Asiwaju, we're not borrowing to pay pensions or salaries, we're not borrowing to pay for subsidy, we're only borrowing to spend on Capital Projects.

I expect Sanusi to know there's no problem borrowing to build capital projects

Show us the evidence that Buhari was borrowing to pay salaries. Give me the specific loans whether IMF or World Bank.....

If not for propaganda, how's CNG measured in litres? Have they ever gone to fill their LPG cylinders and they saw the dispenser in litres not kg ?

This is one reason why our budget is bastardised. Money that is supposed to go to building federal roads and hospitals is going for solar streetlights, cars and so-called empowerment.

Dangote Group not the refinery itself. Dangote owns an upstream asset company WAEP which produces some oil. Quite a small quantity compared to 650k barrel demand for their sister company, Dangote Refinery. So it's of little impact to the crude oil supply to the refinery in the short and medium term

Let the vacant slots be reallocated to others states who are more patriotic to the Nigerian cause

Nothing but audio budgets. Tinubu's target projects in Lagos and few other places are out of the budget and they are the only works that are progressing at an incredible pace. Every other project is left to cry. What a disaster!

It's now getting clear that insecurity is been under reported not necessarily because of media complicity but its alarming dimensions. Just look at the innocent people here kidnapped, yet CG Musa who hails from same southern Kaduna is claiming that security is improving

Abuja-Kaduna road is not even 30% complete. I'm very sure about this

He should be arrested ASAP. Such preachers shouldn't be allowed

Something is definitely wrong in the army. Not even during the peak of Boko Haram did we lose such senior officers within a few months. To add insult to injury, there's also no traction in the fight against bandits and kidnappers

The government guys are doing it deliberately to sell what they call 'non-kinetic' measures which includes negotiation with terrorists. The northerners have voiced out their concerns about such negotiations but the govt refuses to take heed.

Baba Naptu2, how does the LASG maintain such schools? Is it through a facilities management agency or what?

Bumper harvest time for lawyers. Someone told me that is their peak period of making money. Democracy especially the one we practise is nothing but a façade. The separation of powers na for paper, because there's always a hidden and illegal financial handshake among the powers

Baba naptu2, arguably NL's top contributor to quality posts. Ese gan, Sir

lawani:
Gas is not viable as power source. Power costs has become mediocre for over a decade even in some European countries mainly via wind initially. Ethiopia and DR Congo are now said to be fully on renewable. Nigeria need to go solar and support it with hydro, wind and just a little gas

Better we go the coal way. It's way cheaper an more reliable

Lol. You don't have to make use of everything you learn. Infact, it's impossible. If I remember, this method is one of the methods for solving quadratic equations. At least it has taught you some problem-solving skills i.e there are a thousand ways to bell a cat. So, when you encounter problem in life, don't necessarily stick to one solution, you're free to alternate.

On a more serious note, we tend to underrate the power of mathematics. Though I partially heap the blame on the way we were taught. Mathematics is actually the language of nature. You'd be amazed to see applications of mathematics in disciplines you've thought of. For example, do you know that mathematics is used to model the spread of epidemic like Corona virus? How it spreads and where it goes? Mathematics is the backbone of science. Do encourage/help your kids to learn it the practical way. Instead of just doing Area=length x breadth, get a tape and give them to measure a room and tell you the area. Then, show them how you can use that area to calculate the number of tiles that can fit the space. They'd never forget the concept.

Maths is beautiful

immaculatesense:
This is the best way to approach it. I have not voted in the last four elections and I am still alive and I may choose to vote in this election. The revalidation as organized by INEC is still bmthe better option than your opinion of automatic wipe out of names or delisting people who may change their minds to voted this coming election. Let every man go and use his hand to confirm or otherwise his fate.

THE CLEAN UP IS ESSENTIAL AND A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT.

NO BE JUJU BE DAT?

You missed my point. People like you should be contacted to revalidate. I can remember that mobile numbers are collected during registration. Also, physical copies can be pasted at the PUs.

This is another way of burdening the common voter. Let them go through their records and take note of voters who have missed at least 2 election cycles, paste their names at the PU to revalidate. If they don't come for it, they are deemed dead or invalid.

The big problem is that we don't have a clear way of reporting deaths in our national identity database. International passport, NIN, driver's license.... name it.

If the INEC voting system is really foolproof, there should be no way for someone who's absent to vote.

Everybody should collect laslas. Both genocide callers and deniers. Use your head to always rebuff external interests in your affairs. Anybody who's followed the trajectory of the US knows that they intervene to places only to worsen the situation.
Even if northern and Southern Nigeria were separate countries. The instability of one will surely affect the other just like the crisis in Libya and Mali found its way into Nigeria in a short time.

1144AK:
So he should allow Lagos , a key economic state in Nigeria to rot?

Are the Niger Delta states not key to economic states? Why is he not pushing equivalent funds to improve the infrastructure there which is worse than that of Lagos?

1 billion dollar for Lagos ports. 700 billion Naira for Lagos airport. 2 trillion for Lagos sectional of coastal road........ Lagos projects are ongoing with commendable pace unencumbered by finances. But critical projects in other regions are moving slowly. Shey Tinubu is thinks we are dunces?

LordBiden:
Keep asking Adelabu to resign.

Some of you think 24/7 power is easy to generate in a populous country like Nigeria.

The problem with the sector is not the minister,it will take the president to implement certain structural reforms to guarantee steady power.

We don't even have the money to fix it, didn't you read that FG is owing gencos over #4 trillion for supply of gas

It will cost over #15 trillion to fix the power sector of which Nigeria doesn't have.

But we have about same money for coastal road and Sokoto-Badagry road abi?

This is a good metric and should encourage competition among states. But I have noticed a gap in the ease of doing business survey. I think it is skewed towards ths big guys who set up factories and bring investments. In the states topping this list, you'd be shocked to see the SMEs struggling with multiple taxation and even extortions which do not mostly apply to large enterprises. When government embark on projects that affect SMEs like roads lasting several months , they are never compensated for the loss incurred which drains or even kill some of them.

Audio budget that will only see 40% implementation. Out of that, a major chunk is to fund campaigns. We just dey deceive ourselves for this country

He said beyond 8 years, it means after 8 years, you know 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 then 8, and after 8

School don scam you or you don scam ur school

At least I learnt in school that no one is infallible. The eyes might read something but the mind interprets it otherwise

Sheuns:
History shows Kano state is not run like that. No single party has been able to govern Kano beyond 8 years straight.

And all that have governed Kano since 1999 has had the support of Rabiu Kwankwaso or Buhari at some point or the other.

Ganduje ruled for 8 years

To be honest, I have never seen such on screen

Everything has its time. Android too will fade someday

Shey the last one wey dem sell na 100m? With Tinubuflation it should be at least 300m

This caricature is so telling

There's no point rejecting the new campus. ASUU should know where to draw their swords abeg
