If there was an example of a state or region that works well, is free from corruption, is developed, etc, I would agree. Is it 1999 Constitution that we have to blame for lack of sanitation and clean drinking water? (it's the state's water board's responsibility BTW) Or FG that manages omonile, corruption in every civil servant, and bad local and state roads? Should we blame FG for baby factories, skull mining, and the cheating that happens at computer village? When your quantity surveyor charges you for 300 rods but only bought 250, we should blame the Constitution bah? |

Lazynigerian1: Development is a work in progress. That some areas in western region had no rural electrification doesnt mean the overall picture of western region wasn't impressive. U advocate for massive industialisation...Do u know virtually all the industrial estates in ikeja, ibadan, ilupeju, otta, agabara and ijebu ode were established during the western regional govt. Now same factories are now worship centres in the unitary system of govt u support. What does that tell u? There's something fundamentally wrong with the current system we running. Nigeria needs administrative restructuring. The executive list should be dismantled. Things like power, education, healthcare, agriculture, ports, mining, should be moved to concurrent list. We don't need to follow the same economic policy. The western region implemented free education because they could afford to, other regions didn't follow suit because they didn't consider it a priority. Places like Tinapa would have become a booming free trade zone almost like dubai if the visions of Donald Duke were implemented. Rather the custom service killed it due to concern about revenue loss. All this talk about corruption, nigeria not wanting to pay for power are just patronising at best. It fails to address the core issue. 2 Likes |

People with a sound mind like this Governor should be the ones running for presidency of a country like Nigeria. Educated and ready for the job. Not people like Buhari who can't even spell their names or have a conversation with an 8 years old girl/boy or a Tinubu that don't have enough energy to bath himself. |

SIRTee15: Which is in essence saying that the South west was not that developed. And that if only... The truth is that, playing the what if game is really an exercise in futility. At the end of the day, the South West was a region dependent on revenue from exporting raw materials... That some areas in western region had no rural electrification doesnt mean the overall picture of western region wasn't impressive. There is a harsh reason why we have states...it is a long distance from the regional capital. U advocate for massive industialisation...Do u know virtually all the industrial estates in ikeja, ibadan, ilupeju, otta, agabara and ijebu ode were established during the western regional govt. Now same factories are now worship centres in the unitary system of govt u support. And we got a lot of industries too under Army rule...and still have some industries now Besides, my problem with industries in Nigeria...they are not exporting at all...because when all is said and done, Nigerians prefer to share money, rather than work for it. Nigeria needs administrative restructuring. The executive list should be dismantled. Things like power, education, healthcare, agriculture, ports, mining, should be moved to concurrent list Power does not work because it is not well funded...because 1) we don't let it be run profitably. Power rents until recently were below the cost of production..and even now, they are still below the cost of production. 2) 40% of Nigerians don't pay their bills. You think moving it to some concurrent list would change things? Besides, telecoms and GSM works and has grown in Nigeria because telecom companies are allowed to set their prices...and can make profits. If you don't let things make profit...they won't grow Educaiton and healthcare...the same thing. We want UK and US standard, at tax rates that are too low, and at fees that are too low.You think moving it to concurrent list would change things? (Schools in the old regions were better because they were highly selective...if we did that now, people will cry out in protest. ) Agricultuire....1) is mostly manual and subsitence. We have to import to make up. Less than 10% of our agric is mechanized.2) we don't have the guaranteed markets we had in the 1960's...take palm oil...we have far more competitiors than we had in the 1960's. As for cocoa...we went from No2 in the 1970's to No5 in 2014...if not lower. Mining...is severely unregulated...plus no one knows if we can mine enough to produce for our country..plus we need large scale modern mines, not the small scale things. As for ports....NPA needs to be run properly...plus we need to fix roads, rail, etc.... We don't need to follow the same economic policy. Of course. The western region implemented free education because they could afford to, other regions didn't follow suit because they didn't consider it a priority. 1. I am not a fan of Sir Bello...but he was a big fan of education...in additon to being an Islamist, and probably a tribal supremacist. Same for the Eastern leaders too...all regions did invest in education. But the biggest investments came in the 1970's...under Gowon and Murtala...and they were nationwide. 2.Western region could afford free education because not everyone was in school. (Most of the people of my parent's generation did not go to university. Most of my generation did... for example). Plus, most schools were not government owned. Today, no region or state can do free educaiton...there are far more people, and far more schools. Places like Tinapa would have become a booming free trade zone almost like dubai if the visions of Donald Duke were implemented. Rather the custom service killed it due to concern about revenue loss. Or the state could not attract enough investment...plus how was the transport link to Lagos and the capital Abuja...and eslehwere in Nigeria? All this talk about corruption, nigeria not wanting to pay for power are just patronising at best. It fails to address the core issue. 1.We have to pay more for power if we want power 24/7. It may sound patronizing to you, but it is the hard truth, and LORD KNOWS I HATE THAT TRUTH...if I had my way, we would have had free power. But the stats don't lie. Power prices per kwh are below the cost of production per kwh..and the recent increases only apply to chaps getting power for 12 hours a day at least...plus 40% of people don't pay for power. One of the DIScos collapsed finacially because of low revenue. Most of the DISCOS are not earning enough to pay taxes. And I am saying this not because I am excusing bad governance or the DISCOS (and I would be very annoyed if you think so ) but because it is the hard fact. We have a functioning GSM because we paid the prices the evil GSM COMPANIES set. DISCOS are not allowed to set prices, people don't pay them, even meters people bypass...and you expect them to make a profit to buy what we need to improve things? And corruption is still a bad problem because our government relies on revenue from selling raw materials and sharing the same revenue...not from attracting productive inudstries...like serious nations do. I am saying all this because I am tired of hearing Nigerians saying that when we restructure...we will develop. They remind me of a fat person saying 'When I move into my new house, we will develop' Meahwile, an election in Abia state attracted too few voters because lack of itnerest...then we wonder why we have Buharis, and company ruling us. |

LegendHero: Akeredolu for president, every other aspirants should back down for this man. This is the only genuine president in making in this our time, with sincere concern for the plight of the entire citizens. A true patriot indeed. Carry on sir, may God continue to give you wisdom and the strength to dismantle the status quo and take Nigeria to an unimaginable height. God bless you Sir, ethnic politics and religious affiliations in politics should go to hell as long as this man is concerned. |

ogwumgbe: With what.? The palm oil, groundnut, cocoa, etc that we no longer produce or produce at far less quantities than we used to produce? The agriculture that does not produce enough for local consumption..to the point that we have to import to fill the gap.? The mining that does not produce enough for all our needs? The crude oil that is about to become obsolete.? Till you Nigerians realize that we have to be productive, not sharing some naitonal cake...whether regions or no regions, there would be no prosperity. |

Lazynigerian1: The status quo is the reason for being lazy. The status quo is the reason all those you mentioned were not paid attention to since everyone's eye is unblinkingly gazing at oil revenue. The palm oil you just mentioned is the main source of income of Malaysia which ironically and to the shame of this country, they took from us and developed into their main source of revenue. When we move to regional government, the issue of security will be addressed since the Bokoharam supporters will sheath their swords with the reality that they are setting their region backward if they continue to sponsor and sympathize with Bokoharam and all secessionist agitators will drop their agitation as well since regional government has indirectly given each agitator what's he's looking for |
Re: Constitution Review: Akeredolu Backs Return To 1963 Constitution by Nobody: 7:56pm On May 26, 2021 |
ogwumgbe: 1.Malaysia earns from other sources than palm oil...including industries. 2.Boko HARAM will not sheath their swords with regionalism, or no regionalism, or even if Nigeria becomes a Muslim majority country. (That is the nature of fanaticsim....) That;s why they must be pounded now...we cannot wait for restructuring or whatever to do the job for us. 3.You don't think that people in NE are regretting clapping for Boko now? 4.Work within the system. Many of you prefer to be armchair critics rather than take part in democracy (I too am guilty!) |
