I remember my years in Deeper life growing up.

We would go for a 4-day "retreat" as it was called.

The high point of every retreat was the free meals served twice daily and the chance to explore.

Nothing has really changed, just a cycle that has kept us backwards as a country.

Religion is fvcking beautiful Africa up.

If you travel to China, U.A.E or North America, you will see the difference in quality of life.

They don't do religion the way Africa does

We waste too much time of things that has never moved us forward as a people.

Christianity and Islam are not our original religion as a race and people.

Why dump your toy because you were told the other child's own is more beautiful? It's all about mindset and I can tell you for free, Africans do not have a mind of their own.

Think about slave trade. Why was Africa the only continent that sold their brothers?

Until we stop wasting precious time doing religion instead of working, we go no where as a people.

Make God sha help Africa

They still do and it's three meals per day, not two... Completely free... You eat at a spot, change location and eat again

DrAda:
She had a valid reason. Besides all appointments were voluntary.

Catering to the needs and welfare of 42,000 students in 110 departments is no joke. I would have appointed more.

If you use this your calculation, that means 1 aide will be for 840 students

Let's bring it to Nigeria with a population of over 200million citizens. If we are conservative enough to say 200million, it means President Tinubu alone should have about 238,000 aides... Well, he can also say it's voluntary and no salary attached, lol

Where in Lagos?

SmartPolician:
Like we say in Nigeria, government is a continuum. If Rochas Okorocha had built quality projects, Hope Uzodinma, regardless of how bad he is, would've focused on other areas.

Today, he's building things as basic as roads, including those Rochas Okorocha claimed he constructed. These are pictures of roads Hope Uzodinma completed recently.

The 2.7km Toronto/Ekemegbuoha road and the 8.4km Toronto/Orji road.

Problem is,how are we sure the roads he's constructing are solid ... So that the next governor doesn't start constructing roads again

As you said, if one governor could have constructed good roads, then the next would have focused on maybe improving the economy of the state, then the next education and health... Rather than repeating what the previous government did

Register and wait for the rest of your dear life, rice you no go see, sooner or later dem go tell us say hippocampus don chop the rice finish

Hippocampus ke... Na from water e wan come chop the rice?

Seun:

He did that with the EndSARS protesters and they did not respond to his pleas.

Maybe he learnt after that, because subsequently, he has become very proactive... He says it and ensures it's carried out

Lol, I'm listening to the speech now... There's basically nothing to hold on to in the speech... No substance , just making claims... They should have just allowed Sanwo Olu give the speech
.
Atleast, we know with Sanwo Olu, he'll be very SPECIFIC about what he wants to do and we'll see it in
effect almost immediately

ecolime:


Just wait till all the children of those wey Japa to UK grow up.

Na Emeka, Tunde and Amaka go dey win gold for UK against Nigeria.

Lol, this is so true

maclatunji:


A good percentage of what is called 'Abakaliki' rice comes from Cross River. They both share boundaries across some local governments.

Waoh, that's nice, never knew that... Meaning Cross River might even have more advantage in rice production than Abakaliki, and buying from there might be cheaper... If only they're able to process their rice fully rather than moving it to Abakaliki for processing... State is 98% a civil service state

maclatunji:
I have a fair knowledge of Cross River state and what you say is true. However, the challenge an investor might face is that locals tend to be proud and heady. A small disagreement could lead you to losses. It is not by accident that investment in this regard has not happened sufficiently in the state.

People need to change their mindset and know that they don't need to be forceful to be respected and if you don't stop hugging what you have, you might not get maximal value from it.

I think this makes sense, because if paddy rice is as much and as cheap as OP stated, it begs the question why no one is setting up destoning plants there...why take the extra cost of moving it to Abakaliki

I have to go to the rice mill at Abakaliki to buy my rice, never even knew Cross River has rice...

This guy na cultist... Forget... Even the way he talks sef

officialwdhtv:
FCT Police commissioner and Lawyer Deji Adeyanju trade words over the court order restricting the protest convergence to the MKO Abiola stadium

While the police Commissioner insists the protesters move into the stadium to hold the protest as they were disrupting traffic by converging outside fhe stadium, Deji argued that the court order only stated that the protest be restricted to the stadium and was not explicit on whether they should gather inside or outside the stadium.

Take a listen!!!

That's FCT's commissioner of police, as in FCT? E be like say na Wike put this one there... He can't even express himself well

I believe Mr. Gbajabiamila should remove this guy immediately... How can FCT's CP not know how to express himself?

davinchi101:

Egusi season is this August

How much is waybill to Imo state? Can you send quantity less than a bag?

Believeintruth:


Give me an example of this initiatives? It is typical of a mafia type of game, they give you peanuts to win your loyalty and keep you poor so that you will continue to be at their beck and call.

Call it peanuts, groundnut or cashew nuts, it's still something compared to what others are offering

Check his constituency, many of the streets are tarred and currently being tarred... Every year, up to 300 (if not more) students benefit from his free GCE forms, if you add the free jamb form, that number rises to above 500... What about free distribution of drugs and medical centres being constructed by him (there's one currently under construction close to Iyana-Ipaja... I wonder why them never open am sef)... What of the school competitions he sponsor where winners go home with brand new HP laptops?... Free skill acquisition programmes (not the ones organised by the state government o)...

Abeg, tell me what else is expected of him for his constituency that isn't listed up there?

Note that I INTENTIONALLY didn't include the constant sharing of foodstuffs, because that one is mostly for APC members at ward level

LegendHero:


The only guy I want genuinely is Obasa. That one na no nonsense person, no ounce of Yoruba But in him.

Hate him or love him, Obasa na real grassroot man... In his area, he's loved like kilode and he reciprocates the love year after year through various grassroot based initiatives

The only downside to Obasa is his razzness, let him Behind a little, surround himself outwardly with scholars, and he'll go places... Privately, he can still move with those his goons o, but if he wants to be seen in a better light, he needs to work more on how people perceive him

Long overdue... This guy should be governing Lagos now if he was in the right party... Too intelligent to be outside government, ticks all the right boxes

If Tinubu was after competence, Na this kind person he suppose dey carry gum body

nairalanda1:
I think that the earlier you registered, the less likely you are to have issues.

I don't think it's so... I did my linking the first time they mentioned it... Since then, I've been checking intermittently and always got a message that my number has been linked, only for it to be blocked yesterday

Called customer care with another number and told the lady I have previously linked and gotten a confirmation to that effect, she just apologised for the inconvenience and asked me to go to a walk-in centre and link it again...

I want to believe this also affected those working in MTN office who have previously linked their SIM, lol

How soon abeg, because I'm even trying to use the nin.mtn website and its telling me INVALID NUMBER

Abeg, I wan use my data download movies or carryover before e expire tomorrow

Glo just continues to show why they're the most useless network... Years later, they still never improve

emmy512:
What if he floats his own mega retail stations and partner with others to sell at a much cheaper rate?

I think this may be the way to go for him, because the way NNPC is now buying filling stations eh... Gone are the days NNPC filling stations are scantily located, now filling stations are being bought and rebranded to NNPC, you go see about 3 NNPC stations in a stretch of 40minutes

Dangote needs to start thinking ahead, else if they don't sabotage his production, they'll wait for him at the retail end

Na Osuofia house be that? E get money o... I love the way he speaks Igbo effortlessly

The girl will go far...

Joshua Selman said, "Never act indifferent in the presence of great men... Always learn to the importance of honour... No man on earth is immune to honour" (paraphrasing)

Please, why is there scarcity of fuel in Lagos, a litre going for #780 now?

nairalanda1:



I always like the idea of scrapping NYSC...however, if we do that

1.Iliteracy levels in the rural areas will rise high...because not enough teachers in the schools.

2. Health care would get more worse, not enough doctors and nurses.

3.More people would migrate to the cities...more pressure on urban facilites.

Unless you have a plan whereby you can attract professionals to work in rural areas for at least ten years, NYSC Has to stay.

Is it that people don't want to work or corp members are just dirt-cheap alternatives?

Most schools corp members are posted to are state government schools... Let the state government employ teachers, doctors and nurses to fill the void, they can even pay more to those willing to work in rural areas...

It's better than using corp members who most times don't even take it serious, just use the one year to wile away their time and fornicate (apologies to those who didn't do such) while collecting monthly allowance from government

professorPABX:


Let us start with the $100 million paid for the land first before discussion on wether the land is cheap or not. Remember, Dangote Refinery carried out sandfilling to recover more land. Lagos State Government should explain to us about this money. The ELEMORO FAMILY of IBEJU Land and other families in Ibeju land should ask questions about developmental projects executed for the people from this money. Senator Gbenga Bareehu Ashafa should explain to IBEJU people the deals that transpired before the Land was sold to Dangote. IBEJU youths and generations unborn will still ask questions.

For the families not to have spoken out all these years, I believe they or better still, the elders involved have been adequately "settled"... Whether that money flowed down the family tree is now strictly a family issue, and has nothing to do with the Dangote or even the state government

The youths should rather ask questions from their elders, not from the government... Don't be surprised if the money shared actually went round, no matter how small each family got, and was spent on frivolities

frog12:
At the end, NNPC share may become 2% as Tinubu, Cardoso and Edun can never play ball as it was under Buhari:

but if it becomes 2%, we have been shortchanged be dat. it was supposed to be 20%. $100 million for the land is too cheap. that means dangote owns 7 times the size of VI. all to one man!

It's not about it being 7times the size of VI, it's about the location... Ibeju Lekki before Dangote was just a swamp, so price of land there was very very cheap... If he had gone with his initial plan to site it in Ogun/Ondo State, it would have even been cheaper than that

You can't compare the price of land in Ikorodu to that in VI... The money to buy one plot in VI might buy an acre in Ikorodu, and maybe a hectare inside Ondo state

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Self sabotage

I respect my elders, but in the case of this guy, I'll crave indulgence to say the guy is MAD

Just imagine what he's saying, considering his position

[/b]He said the legislators earn #500,000... He was corrected by the speaker, Tajudeen, who said they earn #600,000 monthly[b]

That thing that's making you wonder in your heart if what they're saying the truth or just playing to the gallery, that's it up there... Now, you know what I know that you know

Flood market with food?

Is that not what he plans to do by removing the tariff on imported grain? If it's about flooding the market with food, then I believe he has taken a step in the right direction

My problem now is, since that news came out, we haven't heard anything about it again... Hope government won't come out next week and say that they didn't say that o, or that wasn't actually what they meant? The giving statements and coming out later to debunk it is becoming too much...

Aside the economic inflation, I'll say the president is getting things right in several other sectors... There is relative calmness... Atleast, light has GREATLY improved in many areas

However, it seems there are some elements in government acting as cogs in the wheel of progress... PBAT has to remove them no matter how highly placed they are

What the governor announced was a [/b]weekly community-based sensitisation and awareness exercise that will involve all residents.[b]

These people like to confuse people sha... Which one is awareness exercise again

Well, good to know its not being reinstated

$50million [/b]to support STATE GOVERNMENTS[b]... lool, FG, abeg, let the state governments source for the loans themselves... Na beg I take beg

Looking at it from another angle, LGs in many areas will begin to suffer serious neglect... Many workers under LG will soon start facing unpaid salaries, local government chairmen will start feeling like gods, and local government elections will become more violent

Lol, I love her free vibes ... This kind minister eh, to work for her ministry go sweet wella

iwaeda:


Will they not be appointed by these selfish governors. How will LCDA, not recognise by law get money now.

Lol, e be like say you dey read mind... That was what I was about to type. Except there's a law that have made them recognised, that I don't know of, LCDAs are not recognised by law, so how will they get money?
