Fayose some say is working. We all know education is the bedrock of development. And it seems to all, Fayose doesn't see it as such. Nobody toys with education and leave a good legacy. Fayose be warned. Awo gave his people free education and it's been a good model copied in most places.

Baba is already a disaster! His best bet is to become a failure which is the son of disaster!

He still has 3 more years to effect the change. We gave GEJ 6 solid years and he couldn't do it, one year for Baba is nothing. Let Baba fire on.
That's your craving. It won't happen. Nigeria is greater than you. We will get there. Not by sheer hypocrisy but striving to be better. Baba deserves every chance.

Fanyogoyogo:
FG already gave him authorization to do it. So what are you saying?

Same FG is saying NO to that order. Is there anything wrong with that?

Fvck you and your worthless opinion. My apologies wasn't directed at someone like you and your cohorts. Isn't it curious you only chose to highlight my comments and not the exchanges? Before replying comments the more intelligent approach is to look at the background context behind any comments. I have an inflated ego but it is okay for your brothers to jibe at me? Typical. Anyways, next time you lots will play the game and not the man.
You really are in no position to talk after your failed attempts at snipping.
The arguments is exhausted, so I am out.

Nice one my friend. Now we are even. I like you more. Hehehehe

Why do they always rush to the center?. They should device alternative methods to generate revenue and be self sufficient. Whatever that comes from the center, will be a plus.

This is hypocrisy of the highest nature. It is in good faith that the president accepted this. But he doesn't know how bad the system is when it comes to the rogues we call governors. What have they done to the local governments as a tier in the executive?. Even though good, I say NO! To this. We will eventually get there.

Indeed u were saved. All praises be to the divine high.

Wei job scarce for nija. Hia!

What's causing the hullabaloo?

I respect this man. If he's guilty of what he's been accused of, let justice prevail. And if not, let there be justice. But eh, party supremacy should have killed this. Issue na. Dogara is from same new PDP, but he towed the party line and he's been romancing with the party faithful ever since.

This has nothing to do with APC nor PDP but bad politicians taking us for a ride. Trust them at your peril.

High wire politics. Lets see how it all end.

That's the president federal republic of Nigeria. #respect

Nawa o. They wan scatter people wei de move 2geda. De don fail.

Na wa o. Alams in trouble.

[b][/b]....State assembly approves N10bn excess crude loan for Wike

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has vowed not vow not to declare results thst fell short of expectations in the March 19 National and State Assembly rerun election in Rivers State.

The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Elder Aniedi Ikoiwak, who disclosed this yesterday in Port Harcourt, while presenting Certificate of Return to 11 members-elect of the Rivers State House of Assembly, said nobody can coerce the commission into going against its mandate.

Ikoiwak stated that INEC which is saddled with the responsibility of conducting elections, is always ready to carry out its mandate transparently.

He urged politicians to see themselves as bridge builders, adding that INEC would analyse both the negative and the positive before taking decisions on matters affecting elections.

The REC appealed to them that it was not enough to receive certificate of return but to see the situation as an opportunity to better the lives of their constituents.

He called on them to improve their constituencies through the introduction of people oriented legislations in the Assembly, and urged politicians to endeavour in making the environment conducive for subsequent elections.

Ikoiwak lamented that the March 19, 2016 rerun election that was characterised by violence, were not the type that was expected by Rivers people.

He stated that nobody should expect results where elections did not take place, noting that nobody was interested in sitting on anybody’s results, saying, “You cannot expect results where elections did not take place.”

Meanwhile, the Rivers State House of Assembly, yesterday, passed a resolution authorizing the state Governor, Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike, to obtain a Ten Billion Naira (N10,000,000,000.00) loan from the Excess Crude Account (ECA).

The approval, which was made through voice vote by the lawmakers present at the sitting was sequel to a letter of request from the governor to the House through the speaker.

According to the letter dated April 5, 2016, the loan when obtained will be used to fund some development projects in the state.

“You are aware of the huge infrastructure development challenge and our efforts to address the situation. Since we came on board, we have not only remobilized all contractors handling major road sites, but have also awarded new contracts for the construction and reconstruction of new roads and other projects.

The letter reads in part: “We have also advertised for tenders for the Bori-Saakpenwa road, the Obiri Ikwerre-Airport bypass, while the contracts for the comprehensive rehabilitation of eleven secondary schools and some of the dilapidated general hospitals are also due for award. However, our major constraints is inadequate resources, which is worsened by shrinking returns from the Federation Account.

“On the Strength of the above, it is my desire to obtain a Ten Billion Naira (N10,000,000,000.00) loan facility from the Excess Crude Account to continue funding our numerous development projects. The loan, which attracts a single interest of nine percent and 20 years repayment period, is quite favourable to the reality of the state’s economy.”

In their various contributions, lawmakers supported the loan saying it will facilitate the govenor’s drive to develop the state.

Speaking, Hon Opurum Iruanya representing Etche I, submitted that the road projects embarked by the governor has yielded positive results and called on the House to approve the loan.

Also, Hon Deeya Barine representing Khana I, argued that “I’m gladdened that the Bori-Saakpenwa road is one of the projects that this loan is meant for and I know it would open the gateway to Ogoniland. I also support the loan because all the projects highlighted there; rehabilitation of schools and rehabilitation of general hospitals are worth the value for the loan.

Commenting, the Speaker, Rt Hon Dabotoru Dima, said the loan was worth it, considering the percentage interest rate and the projects for which it will be used for.

Eight lawmakers including the Speaker were present at the sitting.The House later adjourned sine die.

A commendable move by the NA. We are moving.

Let the clergyman be. He's suffered enough.

Even T.Y Danj join too. Na wa o. We are in for a big bang that will boomerang soon.

Dollyak:
To other Northeners on this forum, I have absolutely nothing but the best wishes and great respects for you guys. I am consistent. My only issues is with the Nigerian politicians, most especially northern elites who continue to oppose progressive reforms and their fans who are brainwashed, deprived of quality education, teachings and proper nutrition required to develop critical thoughts and do better for themselves, but are instead a nuisance to the society. My believe has always been to play the game and not the man, so if you disagree with my points state the facts and stop throwing hissy fits.

It might take 20, 100 or donkey years but the masses will eventually wake up to this deliberate mind control and deprivation by the elites (Hello, Egypt). In support of my first post on this topic, it is only right I close with this thoughtful quote from Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice.

The broken home of the northern family.
In effortless ceremony, a man got hitched to his wife and
swiftly a family setting begun. In no time, Allah bless them
with a boy and joy raided the air.
Just as the boy clocks three years, he is escorted by the
father into the city to learn the Quran. Yes, a three year old
is forcefully pulled away from his mother to God knows
where! The father returns home to the embrace of his wife
in kulle. Putus -another baby is on the way as the first one is
left forgotten.
The mallam in his wisdom has been blessed by Allah and
using his economic dexterity, he sends the poor child into
the street to ask for arms. In the harshest of the street, the
3 years old boy learns survival instincts. He battles ruggedly
against unexpected elements. In no time, he becomes a
champion of the street.
Unfortunately, he is cut off from the affinity of family
bonds, he has no relations to share feelings with as this lad
is left for the street to mould him into her dictates. He
becomes vicious, angry and paranoid. To subdue his anger
against his mallam, he is told never to question his
conditions as it is Allah's will for him. He is told to hate
those who don't belong to his religion and with unmitigated
fury, he brews in anger against the people in the society.
With age catching up with him, the street becomes
uninhabitable for him. He can't longer beg because no one
give alms to an able bodied man. He resorts to crime-from
picking pockets to petty stealing and eventually to violent
crimes. He is completely a nuisance to the society. The lucky
ones amongst his peers are recruited into political thuggery
and others brainwashed into religious fundamentalism.
As the circle of the almajiri life continues, he is arrested for
any of the crimes above and made to serve jail terms. After
years in confinement, he comes out more bitter,frustrated
and hopeless. With no task to do, he takes to selling water
and ridding okada. Again, he continues his romance with
the streets.
Like a walking corpse, he moves around with fist of furry
and stained mind of hate. He is quick to start a fight
because he has nothing to lose. Because you are too
sophisticated to him, you treat him with disdain and quick
to pour verbal venom on him. In the blink of an eye, he
draws out his pocket knife and press it to your fine body.
While you writhe in pains, he flee into the streets because
that is where he belongs. You learn a lesson never to
engage the almajiri in a fight.
Suppressed eventually by age, he become weak in the
hustles of the streets and resort finally to begging as
curtain of life draws on him. As he battles to bid farewell to
his unfair life, he look back at the offspring of his groin -the
next almajiris of his legacy.
Tearfully musing.

You've apologized and that is it. Don't try to paint what you did different. Apology accepted. We are in this situation because all and I mean all( all regions included) got us into this from the leadership perspective. There is no community is Nigeria where you can't find them lacking in basic social amenities. Tell me those communities were governed by the northerners?. When they steal our commonwealth, they don't see their differences.

Dollyak:
Hey, the facts still remains you lots are poorer, despised, stricken with disease, easily manipulated, lowly regarded in society. Can you tell me what your region has that you should be proud of? You think your words are valuable. Do you think you can verbally hurts someone who doesn't think anything of you? When you get to my state of mind, you are strictly wasting your time. And it doesn't help your case that I am fortunate in everything.

And what do you have to say about your lots?. Poverty is a norm to the masses in this country.

Dollyak:
Which ethnicity? The ethnicity that has been ravaged with bombs, poverty for decades, suffering, death as a results of many disease like polio etc. Naa I am good. Facts still remain, you are a products of a failed system, probably born out of wedlock if you drive a benz you are still an amajiri.

The benz you can't wait to get in at the very available chance. An almajiri that rule this country and you and your cohorts prostrate to and answer "yes sir". What does that make of you?.
My level of comprehension, understanding has gone beyond that. Enough of this tribal, regional nonsense. It reduces my opinion on you.

Dollyak:
Harsh to me? Daughter of a millionaire in £, first class graduate, soon to be a PHD holder, well travelled, well respected, academically gifted etc lol. His comment doesn't reduce my value. He still remains a product of a failed system, a failure and an useless fulani man.

Overhyped ego. You need not to mention all these. Do you know who I am and so many others in this forum?. Let someone blow your trumpet. I have made my conclusion. You have a bloated ego syndrome.

Dollyak:
Apologies for using the word silly Northerners. That comment was in no way an attempt to paint all northerners with the same brush, hence the word majority. Anyways, where did Atiku got his money from? Politics shouldn't earn you that much net worth so can you associate his wealth?

Now that you've apologized, I rest my case. Next time, address the person, not the cliche where he comes from.

byrron:
Are u aware that u haven't made any sense yet in your comment above?

Counter what he said with facts or is the above response all you' ve got?

Read my subsequent response.

Let it be well investigated and the culprits punished.

Carry on my presido.
