Ebonyi is the highest producer of rice in Nigeria
Yams, salt, precious stones and lots more
But they like other states, simply refuse to harness all the opportunities due to free fed allocation
Starve Ebonyi of fund and see what miracles can be wrought.

These are the Boko Haramites of southern Nigeria. The other week it was 20 killed in good ol' Ibadan.

The current IGR data (if any that can be trusted) cannot be used to judge states because most states intentionally (or out of the feeling that there is no need), do not care about generating internal revenue. But when they are faced with reality, like been starved of fed funds, even Ebonyi will be the cynosure of the eyes of some states.

FG should withdraw allocation for 5 years, let's see what states blinks first. Those who do first will be merged with those who do not blink or blink last. AN IGBO (and thus, an Igbo state) man will always find a way. B4 you know it, even Ekiti will be merged with Abia, incontiguous as they are.

only 6 states should be created
Anioma created from the present Delta State and merged with the SE zone
and then one additional state each for SE, SW, SS, NC and NE zones, to bring them at par with NW zone.

After which it should be a death penalty  to even talk about state creation, let alone create any.

Who respects Buhari in the SE and SS and partly in the SW and even in parts of the the N? Only islamic fundamentalists and coup plotters do. I'd take Tafawa Balewa way b4 Buhari. Even IBB is better.

No question asked: Zik is[b] by FAR[/b] THE GREATEST
The rest are secondary and tertiary entities
Some (e.g., Awo) are not even known beyond their tribal enclaves

Amosun defies Ogun workers, set to sack 2,000

THREE days to the deadline given by the Ogun State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to Governor Ibikunle Amosun to take a definite position on the implementation of the N18,000 minimum wage, the governor has defied the workers.

Rather than meet them on how the wage will be paid, Amosun is set to sack about 2,000 of them.

Last week, the NLC Chairman, Comrade Akeem Ambali, told reporters in Abeokuta, the state capital, that labour leaders agreed on the ultimatum to drive home their demand for the commencement of the minimum wage.

But, at the weekend, it was learnt that Amosun directed that workers, totalling 1,994, recruited by the last administration in the Gateway State, be disengaged from the state’s public service.

The directive states, however, that those disengaged could re-apply to be interviewed afresh for employment into the public service.



In a swift reaction to this development, the immediate past Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr Sina Kawonise, said the disengagement of the workers was in line with Amosun’s determination to reverse key decisions and actions of the Otunba Gbenga Daniel-led administration without any rational basis.

He explained that those that were employed in the last six months of the last administration were recruited through the due process to replace existing vacancies in the state’s public service.

He said: “1,540 either resigned or retired from the state’s public service to meet the Dec 31, 2010 deadline for the cross-over to the new Pension Scheme. While those that retired and resigned their appointments saved the government N100 million on the monthly wage bill, all the new recruitments added an additional N80 million to the wage bill. This, therefore, means that a net of N20 million monthly remains as saving to the Government of Ogun State.

“Governor Amosun gave the directive to pave the way for the employment of his supporters in the ACN (Action Congress of Nigeria ) and his former party, the ANPP (All Nigeria Peoples Party), who he had promised to employ in the state’s public service within his first 100 days in office. But it must be stated once again that those recruited by the last administration are bonafide indigenes of Ogun State who went through the due process and whose appointments were not based on political or party affiliation”.

No N18,000 minimum wage –Ajimobi tells Oyo workers
PostDateIcon Friday, 10 June 2011 09:16 | PostAuthorIcon Author: TransparencyNG | Print E-mail
Oyo State workers are spoiling for war following Governor Abiola Ajimobi’s declaration that the state economic strength could not support the payment of the 18, 000 minimum wage.

Ajimobi spoke yesterday during an unscheduled visit to the premises of the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (because). But the workers said that it is either the government pay the new minimum wage or contend with an indefinite strike, demanding that last month’s salary should be paid based on table prepared by Ajimobi’s predecessor, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala. The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has, however, met with Labour leaders in the state, urging the workers to accept the wage being offered by the government.

Oba Adeyemi urged Labour leaders to support the government’s efforts to develop the state. Pleading with the workers not to embark on strike as threatened, Ajimobi said that he is aware that they earned the least in the South-West. He pleaded with the workers to allow him effect an increase that will make them be at par with the highest paying state in the region and shelve the N18, 000 minimum wage till the state’s income improves. Ajimobi said: “Among the 36 states of the federation, how many have started paying the money? Even the Federal Government that signed it into law is yet to implement it. We have asked the Federal Government to give us more money so that we will be able to pay the wage, but it has not done it.” (National Mirror)

ACN has no place in the East. Ngige should take note of that.

Chyz*:
My maternal home is Imo. I am happy for the people. I couldn't careless about him. Every southern state is bringing back there indigenes. He just hopped on the boat.

Na waoh! What will you say if he did not ''hop on the boat''?

^^^^^
It is a well known fact that Anambra has huge oil and gas reserves. Some private investors were doing something on a certain Orient Petroleum there. I have no idea what became of that project.

Physics MHD:

Yes, I will beat you if we were in the same class.
lol at Physics. Only if you know what I do on day to day basis
What do you think Bioengineering is composed of? Amala?
Duh
Physics, chemistry Biology, environmental science. Olodo
If you can handle the type of equipment troubleshooting and interdisciplinary stuff I do on daily basis, you will shout alleluia.

Like I said, not everyone can move from Crop Production to becoming a Bio Engineer.
Go figure

PhysicsMHD:
Never said it was so easy to do what you did. That's not even what's funny to me. It's great that you're a scientist and interested in applications of your science to bettering your country/region/city. I mean that sincerely. But surely you know that going for crop production as a first degree when people around you are studying engineering, mathematics, physics, etc. should limit the amount of intellectual boasting and grandstanding you are allowed to engage in.




I'm still laughing at the crop production thing. I wasn't aware of that thread and honestly never expected it. Maybe he just loves nature.  

But as a point of correction, I'm still an undergrad. I just find it funny that someone would get a BS in a field which requires less brainpower than some classes I took my first semester of college, but be repeatedly bragging about his intellectual superiority based on his degrees.

If I was a student, I will beat you in any field of study.

Duh
Co-PI, of course. In interdisciplinary research such as I am involved in you have to collaborate.

Not easy to publish your work in the best of the best journals
Environmental Science and Technology
Journal of Hazardous Materials
Nanotoxicology, etc, etc.

I had cautioned you when you confessed to doctoring data to publish.

I am also an Editor and reviewer of other people's work. So in what way are yo up to me?

Only those who can write grants and get 500k+ funding can match. Otherwise pass by.

Your friend Sefago walked this route in the past. And he bowed out when he saw my documents. That was few years back. My CV now will blow you into smithereens

Even if your BS is in Engineering and your other degrees (IF ANY) in the same field, I am still by far more versatile than you with the diversity of my disciplines. Why do you think am hot, getting funding all over the place? No be akara.

PhysicsMHD:
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!




Crop science!!!!!!!!!!! And yet he's constantly bragging about his education!

BS Crop Production
MS Molecular Biology (focus on genetic engineering)
PhD (Bio-environmental Engineering)
PostDoct
Assistant Professor
Go get yours, if easy.

You wan see my letter of promotion to Assistant Prof too? Hahaha! You are a car back tire and I am the front tire. We can never meet.

BS Crop Production
MS Molecular Biology (focus on genetic engineering)
PhD (Bio-environmental Engineering)
PostDoct
Assistant Professor
Go get yours, if easy.

At some point years back, my documents where supplied here. Ask your Sefago. Post your CV lets compare. You are a nobody compared to me. QED.

It takes a genius to move from Crop Production to Molecular Biology and to Bio-environmental Engineering
You cannot find any such combo anywhere else in the world. That makes me hot. Postdoc = one year, and already tenure track. You no fit match, dude. Sorry
Like I said, if in NAIJA You will be running all over me.

You are a BLOODY student and as of today, I am bigger than you. You need at least 5 years to get close, by which time I have zoomed off. You can talk thrash on cyber, but in real life, water has its level.

If I did not have a BS in Crop Production why would I be talking of food production and IITA and stuff like that? How foolish can you get?

STFU, liar. Who dash monkey banana?

You are a bloody student (as you have disclosed here on NL over and over). That makes you a nobody compared to me. Were we in Nigeria, you will be calling me oga, oga all over the place. Thank your star for the USA.

I am sure to read an obituary for this disclosure:
ZnO: Bsc, MS, PhD (2008), Postdoc (2008-2009), Assistant Prof, tenure track (2009-, fill the rest)

Who are you? A nobody.

Yeah some royalty here
