The sophisticated ones this is the hight of hypocrisy one claim to leave behind non functional street light, poorly trained lastma and not so many drivable road while at the opposite end his opponent that left a functional train system,25000 km renovated road remodeled airport that are visible and brings in income is been vilified I thought the south westerners are rational I can now see them for what the are this is the hight of hypocrisy and bigotry.

You can say that again... I thought the people of Lagos went to school, though going to school does not translate to been educated... we must learn to acquire and analyse datas, this will help us in accessing our leaders on day-day basis, not this myopic and bigotry comment

Godbless Nigeria!

You can choose to believe a lie even if you know it is a lie but that will never make the lie become the truth.

And what is that description that the truth holds again? The truth is bitter! And that is something you shameless shilling self plus your legion of daft plebs can never dispute.

The bitter truth is that Lagos state is owing debth. They are the highest borrower with all their IGR, yet they criticize d fed govt for leaving office with such a depth they're owing

What a lovely country to be!

Do you know the task of the first minister, you run the government , everything passes through you. You become the prime minister while the president is the powerhouse and figure head.

All of Jonathan's economic failures lands with her, she had the authority access and (we were hoping she would utilize) ethical obligation to correct any wrong advice given to Jonathan by evil cabals but alas she did not , do long the interest of IMF and world bank were served.

She might have been decent once but that was no more.

Did I hear you say "economic failure..." Please check your statistic properly. It's either you are not properly informed or you don't do research

Don't be too myopic, Nigerian economy has soar well... Do your findings well!

sorepco:
u r a fool...infact, i love the way yorubas do things..they dot celebrate criminal like easterners

You don't celebrate criminals in Yoruba land, but this same man won election... how do you then justify your claim?

cap28:
Yes that's her job, have you ever read your constitution?

Section 14(1)(b) of your constitution states that "Nigeria shall be a state based on the principles of democracy and social justice and it declares that the security and social welfare of the Nigerian people shall be its primary purpose"

section 17 (3) of the same constitution (and I paraphrase) states that the Nigerian social order is founded on the ideals of freedom, equality and justice, in furtherance of that social order, the Nigerian govt shall create policies that ensure that:

(a) all citizens, without discrimination have the opportunity to secure adequate means of livelihood

(b) conditions of work are just and humane, and that there are adequate facilities for leisure and for social, religious and cultural life;

(c) the health, safety and welfare of all persons in employment are safeguarded and not endangered or abused;

(d) there are adequate medical and health facilities for all persons:

(e) there is equal pay for equal work without discrimination on account of sex, or on any other ground whatsoever;

(f) children, young persons and the age are protected against any exploitation whatsoever, and against moral and material neglect;

(g) provision is made for public assistance in deserving cases or other conditions of need; and

(h) the evolution and promotion of family life is encouraged.


Okonjo Iweala has failed every single one of the above objectives in her duty to the Nigerian people as she has implemented economic policies that have caused mass unemployment and poor prospects for the masses of people. This in turn has created a knock on effect of crime, pro.stitution, degradation or complete lack of moral values and overall destruction of the psyche of the average Nigerian. She is an agent of the World Bank and works to promote the interests of her paymasters.

Your own constitution states that it is the duty of govt to provide every Nigerian citizens with the means to enable them live a dignified life why then are you praising this failure of a woman for violating your own constitution?

I believe you only read the constitution, you are still left with the intrepretation...
How does making proposal for a business becomes d duty of the finance minister, so you also want d finance minister to wake you up in d morning to go to d office?

infact from the constitution you just read now, please point out the duties of the finance minister?

cap28:
Only in Nigeria do you see impoverished fools bowing before a fat faced world bank lackey who has done nothing for them except make their lives a living hell. I just had to laugh at the so called "acheivements" of this world bank puppet, what has she ever done for any of you in Nigeria?

This is why I love people in the west, nobody looks at how many certificates you have, or how many letters you have after your name, they look at PRACTICAL ACHEIVEMENTS ON THE GROUND. What has this fat b.tich ever done for any of you?

She is being honoured by her paymasters who placed her in Nigeria to help transfer YOUR wealth into THEIR HANDS, that's why they confer doctorates degrees on her. Has she solved any of your immediate problems ie alleviation of poverty and job creation for the masses? CAPITAL NO!

You people really deserve the scum who rule over you, anyway part 2 is on the way courtesy of sell out Buhari.

So you expected her to put food on your table?

It's only in dis country when you fail, government takes the blamed. Her work is to control d economy, her work is not to make every business man or wowan do well in business

wirinet:
Looking for jobs from whom? Jonathan or Buhari? Oby has been asking Okonjo Iweala for a debate for over two years and Soludo challenged Okonjo Iweala to a debate on the Nigerian economy more than 6 months ago. Nobody dreamt that PDp would lose to APC then.

And while should they debate, on what ground? May be you've not heard of integrity... she has lot of that to protect. She left dis same ministerial position during OBJ tenure and went back to world bank to continue her duty and not Soludo and Oby who are seeking for recognition

Were these same people not ministers before, what special tins did dey do during their tenure as ministers?

egift:
PDP TANiods and their attacking the messenger. The award of Yale on NOI is about her performance as Minister of Finance (which is nothing to write home about, considering the poor state of things).

Now the counter petition from Chinomnso against Iwalaiye is blabbing about NOI as world bank staff.

Yale should have cite a better excuse to dash her the award. Dr. Ngozi (apart from re-basing) is leaving the economy worse than she met it. Soludo is still miles ahead than Ngozi.

Please list the achievements of Soludo in respect to d political atmosphere of then and compare with her own achievement

Back then in school, we were taught that before an opinion is said, one must be able able to acquire the right datas then analyze those datas acquired before drawing out your conclusion

Please do your findings without bias!

I love hardwork and she's a definition of one!

We don't need to go to school b4 we can b educated, we have skilled trained men/women in the south/east whose knowlede is what tapping from.

We don't just need education but that which when applied transform to real development and investment. Ekiti state is said to be the most educated state in Nigeria but one of the most under-developed and poor state in Nigeria... Should dat b called an educated state? What is even education if it cannot result to development, investment and management?

Proudly a Niger Deltan!

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

musicwriter:
Though this's your personal opinion, but Jonathan was in power and position do make all those changes you pointed out. But, he didn't!.

You people talk so much about GEJ, is he a law maker or a legislator? What is the stand of d opposition on this new development?

Tolexander:
what about their mum, what did she bag out or is she not part of the family?

The first class gene in the children is definitely paternal!

May be she graduated with a weak first class

Second branch go soon show... Wafi tins, see shopleft dey vess, abeg park well... Wafi hailings, tweletwele we dey go!

Proudly a Wafarian!

Second branch go soon show... Wafi tins, see shopleft dey vess, abeg park well... Wafi hailings, tweletwele we dey go!

Mumu pride
Aregbeshola (Osun state governor) only to mention few is a polytechnic graduate.

Even Bishop Oyedipo Of Winners Chapel is a polytechnic graduate, read architectural Technology from the Kwara State Polytechnic

Emasel:
I doubt if you are really a Deltan, even if you are I'm quite certain you are Itsekiri.

Hahahahahaha... Open your eyes and see! I'm from Owheologbo in Isoko North LGA. I don't comment just because I felt like commenting, but I comment bcuz I'm a realistical person. Name those that should get d award and let's critically analyze their performance. Your mine is so narrow... Once again, add a brake to your tongue and an acceleration to your brain

giwah:
I think the only way out of this is to remove completely the subsidy, the same was done for diesel, we got used to it and diesel scarcity became a thing of the past. If this incoming government can channel all that money into fixing our refineries and building more, we will be just fine.

This is one of the best comment I've read this week. You see! The Nigerians are even the problem, some don't even know the meaning of subsidy removal and how if can grow the economy and shut-out cabals, all they know best is to shout "let the president resign"

My fear for this new government that will rule for the next four years are hypocrate, they are the same people who destructively criticize this current government most especially on d isssue of subsidy. They never supported any good decision by this current govt, all they do is to criticize without providing any solution

God help us!

This man has done well. You don't need to be a newspaper governor before one sees your achievement... I'm a proud Deltan and I bodly stand to say "He is an achiever".

He might not have performed very well in all the sector, but has done remarkably well. I think when I see a development, I recognise one

Proudly Deltan and proudly a Nigerian!

theoctopus:
This was the last flood where River Niger overflowed its bank and rampaged many cities in Nigerian water ways. Did Atlantic ocean also cause the Iyana-Ipaja picture? You are doing a nice job of indicting APC more. Thank you!

That picture posted there, the flood menace actually took place 3yrs ago and it was not a state problem. So No nobidy should blame thise govt for that

Is that the case of Lagos too?

Please change the changer!
Godbless Nigeria!

quixotic:
u honestly don't deserve a reply, but i am benevolent. Times it by the inflation rate and the value of the naira. But that is besides the point if you have any grey matter which i sincerely doubt you do,you would know i made a comparism.a graduate earns 20k,an uneducated criminal earns millions a month. And the sad thing is ì am almost certain you are a graduate unemployed or under employed, and the beauty is those who want to salvage this country out number your kinds who are cronically parochial. God help you

In the niger delta were I come from, many of the youth go into acquiring of skills like Extreme, pipeline wielding, valve mechnics, etc. This same youth will never get job except he/she know a yoruba or an hausa man or a contractor

In my area, we have the IDSL and NPDC, non of this company even accept an IT letter from you when you are not connected. The people you see there doing their ITs are mainly from the North and West. What about the staffs in those oil and gas companies, you hardly can find a direct staff from the niger delta

Non of the oil and gas companies have their headquarters in the region, their employment is either from Lagos, Kaduna or Abuja and you don't see any injustice to that

Injustice is when you are neglected, cheated, oppressed and stripped-off your possessions. I know of an hausa guy who read 'Islamic study' and he is working in NNPC, NGC precisely

Godbless Nigeria!

tmanuelle:
I suppose you didn't think before posting your comment, so I will help you.

Osinbajo is a pastor and a politician with a registered political party, Oritshejafor is a pastor and ofcourse, a sitting CAN president.

The former has all the justification to b apolitical while still winning souls for Christ. But I do not think being the CAN president is enough credentials for the latter to be apolitical until he becomes joins a registered political party, he should rather face the work of God, with a pure heart.

That was what he posted. You should understand his point by now.

I'm not a fan of APC, neither am I a lover of PDP, but I am of d believe that sentiments and decent reasoning capacity should not be mixed.

God bless Nigeria.

Godbless your reasoning

Blitz888:
Bro they all don't speak ikwere..
Did you miss the part where I said the Ahaoda people speak Epkeye?
Omoku, Etche, Opobo, Ndoni and Andoni all don't speak ikwere... Do your research.

So with what you are saying Ahaoda is Ibo?

lomprico:
What is ur tribe? There is no tribe like south-south.
By the way udeh is an igbo name.

The problem I have with some people in NL they think they know all, not knowing that they know nothing! Udeh is not only a name in the Ibo land. I'm from the Isoko ethnic group in Delta state and Udeh means 'The native cream' , I means the one made from palm kernel

Blitz888:
In case you don't know your Rivers well may I use this opportunity to enlighten you and the ignorant swathe you're delibrately misleading.
Etche,Omoku, ahoada, opobo, andoni, ndoni all speak dfferent forms of the Igbo language as it is evident today in their names.
It is common place today to find people from this areas with Igbo names like UCHE, ODILI, CHIBUDOM NWUCHE, CHIZOBA,EMEKA,CHIKA etc
Notice I deliberately mentioned the full name of a one time speaker of the lower legislative house who happen to hail from Ahoada in Rivers State and speaks Epkeye which is a 'corrupted' version of the Igbo language.
*modified *

May be you did not read my statement well, I said the Ikweres. Those tribe you just mentioned now, which language do they speak if not Ikwere. Are the Ikwere people or are they the only tribe in River state?

cheruv:
the SS was created by ohaneze during the '95 constitutional conference.that creation was the basis of abacha's six state creation the next year.
the SS also has 40% of the Igbo landmass which are in these states
1]Anioma
2]Rivers
3]AKS
4]CRS
ohaneze should integrate Anioma into the SE and demand that rivers return oyigbo and ONELGA to Abia and Imo respectively.
Igbos are always their brother's keeper

Who told you that Rivers are Ibos? The only tribe out of all d tribes in Rivers that speaks like the ibos are the Ikwere people. So Rivers are not ibos!

I remember the first time I came to the West, anybody that refers to me uses the word 'omo ibo ni'. It takes some level of explanation to actually let them know that I'm not an Ibo person that I'm from the south-south

joromi:
When you get the job, come tell us...
Don't talk about some interview a million other people get at the same time..

Getting a job is not a problem to me... It depends on how you view life, I might also decide not to work
I didn't go to school because I want to work, I went because I want to be educated, beside you don't know me, so mind what you say!

To start with Fashola is showing us daily that power generation and transmission is not rocket science or anything to be looked upon like can't do or can't touch. Nothing is impossible if you have the will, determination, desire and sense of duty to carry out your objectives..

1. In the history of Nigeria, Fashola remains the only Nigerian leader to guarantee uninterrupted power supply to state infrastructures and institutions.

2. Lagos state transmits generated electricity via 300 klm state owned underground transmission cable. No state in Nigeria has such dedicated capacity. Bypassing the obsolete National transmission grid to maximize productivity and efficiency is almost half of the work.

3. Lagos state commissioned energy academy to train power technicians to operate and manage the state's power and energy infrastructure including oil and gas. No state in Nigeria has such capacity or institution.

4. Lagos state schools and health institutions are already going solar, meaning more public institutions are getting off the National grid and also reducing the state's carbon footprint.

5. Lagos state manufactures transformers to support power generation and transmission within Lagos state. no other entity in Nigeria has such capacity.

6. The best practice in Nigeria is never to send what you generate with your own money into the National grid just to disappear with zero benefits to the funding local taxpayers. There's just no sense and wisdom here. Lagos state is able to guarantee uninterrupted power supply to state institutions because they manage and send their generated power via their own cable system. They get every MW with nothing lost or mismanaged.

Our transmission system is old, degraded and almost obsolete, we don't get everything we feed into it.


7. If any government in Nigeria can do it, it's Lagos state. They built the first IPP in Nigeria and if our mean spirited and shortsighted FG have left them alone to proceed with their bold and pioneering plan and not sabotage them like they did, you won't be here today questioning their capacity to power Lagos state.

With over 300 klm of underground cable transmission network already in the ground, tested and functioning as designed, with public institutions like hospitals, power works, schools, courts, secretariat and other state institutions off the grid, the work is almost done.

Hmm... intersting! So why has he not stabilize lagos state in terms of power supply?
May be you should go and read about an interconnected system or national grid, it operation and advantages. Before you comment cos you just said that the governor by-passed the national grid

Also read about optional power system operation which you claim the lagos government is currently operating on nd please don't fail to compare it with the interconnected system of operation cos I can't just start explaining all that to you now! Just a little research will get you really informed!

crownprince102:
Why are you this clueless..... Do you know the number of graduate coming out of universities a year. How many of them can benefit from those crap you listed, not even 5%. Some of them are even suppose to be done by the state government and not the federal government.


Let me educate your ignorance, job do not need to create "direct job" for graduate rather job opportunity". The Government should ensure their is a rise in standard of living of the people by ensuring their is "economic development" not the "economic growth" we 've been experiencing
since 1960. They are two different terms, economic growth has nothing to do with the lives of the common man rather than the rich.


If their is a rise in standard of living not when the minimun wage is not up to $100. If the civil service get a better pay and their is "price control" of goods by the government. More establishment will rise due to the high marketability of goods in the country which will led to employment for the youth and some among them could create an establishment which will give jobs to others.

Please summarize your point, cos the govt I know has been able to create some enabling environment for investors to come and invest
How many of those youth are evn skillful? I'm also a youth and so don't blame the govt for everything as if the government control your life

Nobody is saying we've gotten there yet, but I must tell you that we are moving forward as a country as every govt has it challenges. But the way you people shout on social media looks as if the government is not doing anything, which is not true!

Godbless Nigeria!

crownprince102:
Jobs to your doorstep? No country does that. Nigeria economy lacks giving job opportunity to youth.

Nigerian minimun wages is less than 100 dollars a month and a country like zinbabwe receives over 300 dollars a month.

With 100 dollars for civil servant. How marketable will a goods be if an establishment is created by a Graduate. 70% of Nigerian lived with less than a dollar daily.

I guess you should be more informed before quoting me next time. Thanks

I see... FADAMA, YOUWIN and SURE-P. If I don't know of the rest two much, I know about the FADAMA project which some persons I knew made use of that opporturnity

Since you're very informed, why didn't you atleast write a proposal to try (What a mentality). May be you should list a country where the government employs almost all the youths!

Be enlightened and get informed... Information rules the world. Even those youth shouting for employment are not even employable, some can't even pass an amptitude test not to talk of participating in the oral interview. If one is not qualified for a job, should the govt be blamed?

Jobs are everywhere, come-out from your complain zone so that you can see! That was what an engineer told me in 2012 and today, I'm happy for that one word

So many youths are looking for jobs with a pass grade, some student even thinks farming is for the illitrates. How many youth looking for jobs today even have informations about recruitment, many lacks informations and feels or believes that everything is politics

Like I said earlia, come out from your complain group of company, open yours eyes and see!
Godbless Nigeria!

nonjebose:
In as much as I enjoyed your dissertation above,I wish to point out some things to you. I am not making a case for those governors mentioned in the list. The Teaching Hospital you gloriously mentioned was built by Ibori. The Sapele stadium was built by Ibori. Many of those roads constructed in rural areas were done by NDDC and DESOPADEC. The only legacy he has is the Mass Transit scheme. The scholarship scheme has since become a conduit for corruption.

May be you should check the year the teaching hospital and the stadium was built and commissioned thank God for the internet now. Appreciate Good things when you see one!

Those governors on that list has not done anything exceptional, one was even saying Oshomole. I taught you will talk above the standard of the primary and secondary schools. The university school fees, the sport, workers salaries and the rest, but thank God you admitted that of the DELTA TRANSIT.

Like I said earlia, we are suppose to know the basis of this governors on that list and mind you, there is No state where corruption is not at a high level, infat Lagos state is rated the highest in africa

Let's know what true transformation is and not been a government of paper tiger (Newspapers and propaganda)
Godbless Nigeria!
