LeoDeKing:
Very balanced.

I don't care about where the ministers are coming from, but I still maintain that they're TOO much.

While I'm associated with the Keynesian school, I strongly oppose excessive growth of the public expenditure. Not at the period that the country is experiencing one of the worst fiscal sustainability issues.

The argument that more ministers with experience are needed to assist the government is ridiculous. The rise in the numbers of special assistants and advisors to the president has shown that the president does not actually need large ministers to function.

Except we would lie to ourselves, the country is broke. This is not the time to embark on unreasonable and overbloated spending.

Na waoh.

This one that Shetima has turned to APC, FG, and Matawale's spokesperson. Everybody sha wan chop from the free money.

Maybe me and my guys should also create a kangaroo 'civil society group' so we fit dey provide steady support for any politician that's willing to pay

How is Rema's calm down not in the list

When TikTok starts organising their music awards they'll surely consider him

Catapault:
I haven’t seen even ONE ROAD in the southeast with covered drains and sidewalks.

They exist in Abuja, in Lagos, in Uyo, Calabar, Gombe, Kano and Kaduna.

I have even seen some in Benin.

But southeast?

Nothing.

Just open gutters everywhere.

If you are a pedestrian in the East, nobody cares where you walk.

Why?

Here are examples from Abuja

You guys with these yeye dick measurements. I can bet my last card that you've not travelled to up to 4 states in the country.

To puncture your argument, I'll just ask you to check the pictures of the road from Lekki to Lakowe. There is neither drainage or sidewalk (the tiny place left has been overtaken by motorist) to start with. Now you need to go around Airport junction in Abuja to see open drainage or chanchaga to Bosso in Minna for same. I believe we also have something similar from Batagarawa to Katsina main market. Roads from Tsafe to Gusau in Zamfara and Birnin-Magaji, also in Zamfara, have open gutters. Same thing with the roads in Funtua.

These places are where I spend significant number of years. No just passing by. That I can point to few examples does not mean I can generalise.

The comparison is to what end? To achieve what actually?

cadmanspize:
This has been a restraint towards forward construction of that fly-over. Happy that after pacification of the deity, plan to demolish it have been drawn & finalized.
.
Wasn't easy!

Normally, you can't decide to demolish even a Church or Mosque without facing oppositions. These are tied to people's beliefs. We can't just wish it away. Soludo knew what to do before his initial gragra.

This is not the first time shrines are been relocated due to road constructions. It is not particular to Anambra, or Edo, or Rivers, or Osun, or Katsina, or Africa, it happens everywhere in the world.

The reason for high crimes is our low self esteem..

Nigerians have the lowest self esteem in the world..

The lower the self esteem the more crime..

Nigeria is an anti high self esteem society..

From the family to schools and society every one want you to have a low self esteem…. They want you to fly Low..

Clarify what you meant by Nigerians having loving self-esteem.

FreeStuffsNG:
He is against idolatry and has been complaining bitterly against it, blaming the promise of protection offered by the babalawo power as the reason for the high level of crimes, kidnapping and security problems in his state.

Beyond the insults hauled at him by his opponents and the uncouth mob of mostly Igbo youths he is old enough to be their father, so far, nobody has intellectually engaged him or faulted him for waging war against idolatry for this strategic reasons after all he is not a member of the clergy.

It will be very interesting to read expert research report on the nexus between what Prof Soludo called idolatry and crimes in a society using the South East as a case study and how to resolve the problem.

Any culture that promotes crime and provide protection for criminals will not last , the stakeholders must have a clarity of the problem and how to tackle it from the root,particularly from the home and nuclear family, as he, Prof Soludo, once placed the problem at the feet of irresponsible parenting in his state and all Igbo Southeast states in general. Check my signature for free stuffs!

On the quoted, I thought I should inform you that there is a religion called Islam that has continue to exist despite promoting and providing protection for anything but peace.

christm386:


U are extremely daft to say this roads are less than a year are you stupid, i schooled in ebonyi state and i graduated at 2018, this roads hace been there since 2016 or earlier, get ur fucking facts right

For someone that "schooled ... and ... graduated in 2018," I expect you to be able to communicate in a sensible and civil manner without resorting to insults and name-calling.

Fine, the roads were constructed in 2016. That's about 7 years. Now tell me, should roads constructed 7 years ago be this bad when there are are also roads in this same country that lasted decades (despite poor maintainance) before they take up the condition of these 7 year old roads?

If it is new to you that roads do last over 7 years and still be in good shape, I won't hold it against you, I'll just encourage you stop applauding mediocre project.

Needless to say that my comment have nothing to do with the governor or state. I don't care about any politician neither am I a fan of any.

Alusiizizi:


I know, which is why I found this news all the more pathetic.

Lol. I understand that he uses his company for most of the contrast. I don't know how true this is.

Evilthoughts:


Idiat I have being to over 50 African countries and none can stand shoulder to shoulder with Nigeria. You should travel more and stop talking too much

While I don't like arguing with total strangers online and refuting their claims, I must say, based on your contradictory statement, you are a liar. I put it to you that you've NEVER been a meter near an airport, talk more of traveling to 50 African countries.

You don't need to rant about providing evidence that you've traveled or you own an airline, it won't be necessary as I wont be coming back to this post.

Evilthoughts:


You're a self hater. Read sometime and see why Nigeria is called the giant of Africa. We have resources, money and brains. We should be using all this to our advantage to keep the other small and poor countries in line. Nigerians shouldn't be disrespected in any African country. This should be our foreign policy to destroy any African country who dared us

Nigeria is mainly referred to as the "giant of Africa" because of its large population. It was not until recently when Nigeria's GDP was rebased that her economy became the largest in Africa.

With regards to destroying any African country that dares Nigeria, I'd like to extend the greetings of the Nigerien coup leaders to you. The irony in your illogical and myopic view is that you're most likely against the expansionary foreign policy ideology of the USA, China and/or Russia.

Alusiizizi:


There is a reason why roads are built with tar, and why we need actual civil engineers, who understand the reason why uniform cement will always fail, to build those roads. Even roads that you find that are built with cement will be done block-wise with compressible buffers in-between each block because civil engineers know that objects generally expand when heated. In tar roads, the tar serves the purpose of both adhesive and flexible buffer between the stones that they are mixed with.

Ironically, Umahi, the governor who initiated and supervised the projects, is a civil engineer.

Karemarealty288:
This is minor damage that will not cost much to repair....why blackmailing the man that changed the face of Dust of the nation( Ebonyi state)

For roads that are less than a year old, it is terrible. Either the contractors used substandard materials, or the project cost was heavily influenced by corrupt practices.


Standard road construction should be used for at least a decade or two before any repair should be initiated. Go and check most of the federal roads constructed in the 70s and 80s, they were still intact and require no repair until decades later.

Ayodeoba:
That means it’s a bad idea to build road with cement, but that doesn’t mean umahi didn’t perform

I doubt. CranBurg is using the sam cement on the Lekki-Epe expressway. Dangote refinery also used the same. I believe it is more expensive and durable.

Tambari1974:
I have seen some traditional Igwe in ibo land that rules from outside his kingdom.

Even some Northern Emirs. For instance, the Emir of Birnin-Magaji in Zamfara state rules from outside of the state. He rarely stays in the town for long.

I just checked Kperogi's blog, there's nothing like this bullcrap there. His last post was about Rufai and crybaby Jesustega.In fact, aside from Nairaland, this piece did not appear anywhere.

I challenge NutritionGuru, the OP, to drop the link to the original post.

nedu666:
Dumb op. Imagine blaming Obidients and atiku for fall in naira.

Well, like Kperogi, like Reno and Ogbeni Dipo.


I never knew that politics could make seemingly intelligent individuals make people very illogical statement. Who would have imagined that a Professor in a US university and the cry baby on Arise TV have same size of brain. Politics is very interesting walahi.

Edit: I observe that the post the not appear on Kperogi's blog or Twitter page. Morever, it only appear on NL. Als not that most Kperogi's articles are published on Saturdays. My best guess is that the post was doctored.

Kukutente23:

Ok.... So which ministry has communal clashes as its responsibility?
At women not victims of communal clashes as well?

You tell me.

benuejosh:
Uju Kennedy will be the first Minister to be shown the way out. That woman seems confused. It is either she is meddling in the matters of another Ministry or she is quarreling. My comment is not necessarily about the post.

Politics aside, what does the Ministry of 'women's affairs' have to do with communal clashes? Besides, in the meeting, there was no single woman.

Dreal1247:
But Wike was not this powerful and outspoken as the Minister for Education. What then transpired after becoming the Governor of Rivers State?

When you have billions of Rivers' oil money under your control for 8 years what do you expect?

Wike Sabi bribe Judges... Wike learnt politics from the best of the best

If true, shouldn't this be a cause for concern?

Kaa4:
The worst central Bank Governor in modern times. He will not be released. He is the major cause of the fall in the value of the Naira we carry around today with his excess supply of the currency to Buhari without accountability or respect to conventional usage of the Ways and Means financing.

His Naira coloration project killed businesses and people

Idiot and asslicker of the Northen cabals

You people are funny. If you were in his shoes I guess you'll disobey the President's orders

asanausana91:
thank God your types are not much in this country.

Who told you?

If anything we have about 7 million of his type. Now multiply that by 4 (the average family size). You should be worried bro.

JAMO84:
So After writing this long useless epistle, you can tell me where I support the proposal.

Do you have a choice not to support it?

JAMO84:
Everyone should relax, especially the supporters of those 2 sore losers.


The yatch had been in the budget before, but it was never purchased for obvious reasons.

I don't have an issue with the bullcrap you typed here because, understandably, your livelihood may depend on the extent to which you defend the actions and inactions of the government online. I am more worried about the 19 individuals that liked your comment.

I can believe that someone somewhere in Nigeria would support frivolous spending at this point when Nigeria's economic survival is tied to loans. This can never be about supporting the president or his party; it is pure wickedness!!!

Raskimonojendor:
One of the reason I voted Sowore even though they call him SUG president. The guy sabi play opposition well.

What is wrong in buying a presidential yacht? Fake #RevolutionNow crusader.
You believe only you can save Nigeria and every other person is a thief. We have not forgotten the same people have used you in the past, and for the fact that you have been paid off and abandoned didn't make you any different.

Lol. I have been waiting for a comment like this

alanto:
Asiwaju as done the right thing.... Seyi probably went their to see his dad... Normally there's nothing he could possibly contribute at the FEC meeting, that's something everybody knows.

Modified.

Obidients crying over my mention... People that can defend anything. My comment was purposeful.

If y'all can defend Mmesoma. I can defend Seyi. Simple

How comfortable to label everyone as Obidient. Nigerians are damm lazy! Same thing the Police does with regards to 'unknown gunmen'. Just slap some people with a name and then go on with whatever jargons you'd like to say.

I am waiting for a comment like: "He's the president. Do you want him be be paddling canoa? Stop thinking like a poor man"

I seriously don't envy paid and unpaid political urchins. You have to defend ridiculous things just to earn pay.

Ttalk:
That fraud paper they called the supplementary budget is not what is expected of Tinubus administration.

We want to see a zero-sum budget and all those duplications coming from from budget office, MDA and parastatals be prone to reflect the reality on the ground.

It is high time the president takes his stand and tells those corrupt civil servants that it is no longer business as usual

Calm down! We still have 7 years and some months to go.

Well, beauty is subjective. Not everyone eats sushi. Some prefer barbeque
