If u attack Chiboy of promoting the culture of political...every more worrisome cox he is a trained medical doctor i will take my L.

If u say he focused more on taking d major infrastructure to Nkanu.. no wahala.

izzou:

Nnewi is the home of Bikes

Since the 90s, Bikes have been assembled in Nnewi.

You will be ignorant use this as a weak point, when everybody there can afford one, and most likely it is one of the cheapest places to get bikes

Talk another thing.

Bad road is a factor. Nobody want to drive his car on a bad road. So dey get d cheap alternative to navigate d death trap called road in nnewi

And in Enugu state, how do you navigate death traps? Lexus LX570, shey?

You're just dulling my energy by listing bad roads.

List what is developed in Enugu outside that capital.

I love Enugu. I lived there, and i hope to retire there someday, but the capital is just all there is to it.

Enugu does not come close to Anambra in terms of development and infrastructure. Shikena

izzou:

I did not say anything about Obi successorship. Wetin concern me with that? I am telling you Chi-boy did well by raising successors.

Chi-boy did nothing bro. You're just clutching at straws by listing one or two road. Do you think Yari or Bello did not construct one or two roads?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:



U said his sole contribution was that he broke the circle of old politician..planted his boys thus Anambra is miles ahead of Enugu. Peter did the same in Anambra. who sabi Willy Obiano before the APGA primary?


Which development(s) that Obi brought to Anambra & made Anambra to be miles ahead?

I want to know about those developments

I said he broke the cycle of old politicians; The Onuh's back then. It was a good thing

You sef don search finish, and you no see anything to take hype Enugu again abi?

The way the NA is handling what they did in Kaduna in disheartening.

No formal memo on what happened. No press statement

No apology. No visit from the COAS to the community

No heads rolling because of this. No news on compensation.

May God not let me be killed like this.

Roland17:


Aje, one run you street?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:



Ah...wetin happen?

WhoDeyHause:
People are complaining terribly about infrastructure in delta state, yahoo yahoo, prostitution and cultism are still spreading like wild fire day by day but the new governor Mr. Sheriff decided to build and unveil the tallest Christmas tree in Africa when several people don't even have a means to celebrate Christmas.
And you'll tell me there's no money in this country? Especially for Delta with it's big allocation.

State governors are the real thieves. Another reason I spent as much time as I do criticising the central government criticising even my own state government.

Since 2018, I've subscribed to monthly and bi-monthly report of my state government allocations and expenditure, and local government allocations by BudgIT.
Local governments earn a lot especially in the Niger-Delta, plus extra quarterly payments to oil-producing communities; all controlled by the state governors.

If you know how much your immediate past governor and mine spent on overhead cost (cost of running government), you'd just look amusingly at the antics by Tinubu's COP28 critics (who's also as guilty).

Not forgetting ~#23 billion annual security votes each to Akwa Ibom, Rivers, and Delta States, all unaccounted for.

Hold Governors accountable too.

It has happened in d East many times. U see military attacking civilians, burning down markets & schools. APC zombies defended them.

BlueRayDick:


IPOB/ESN atrocities in the southeast actually provides cover for dare devil military personnel to rain terror on innocent people down there.

Seeing how Dora Akunyili's husband was killed in cold blood on the streets by ESN makes it easy for the military guys to always tag any extra judicial killing they (the military ) carry out as curbing the menace of IPOB/ESN

OkpaNsukkaisBae:



Same way bandits & bokoharam provides cover for dare devil military personnel. Seeing how they murdered about 36 military personnel in Shiroro local govt, Niger state months ago.

Sometimes holding governors accountable is not as easy as it seems: In fact holding governors accountable and getting them to do the right thing appears to be a mirage in a country like Nigeria and I will tell u why.

BlueRayDick:

Let me understand ur point.

DissTroy:


If we can't and won't hold state governments accountable, there's no justification to hold the FG accountable. They all share from one national purse. Well, almost all.

The corruption going on at state level is humongous. Which single individual at the national level would have survived the #492 billion fraud scandal by Wike and Fubura? Or the controversial #150 billion loan by Udom Emmanuel (who when exposed went behind to get a lesser loan), or Ifeanyi Okowa getting a controversial #100 billion loan? All three to fund failed presidential ambitions.

They are thieves we must hold responsible. I'm focusing on Niger-Delta states deliberately to drive home the point.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:



My point don turn to rocket sci...

BlueRayDick:


I never said there's anything wrong in holding a governor responsible; what I'm saying is that when u do u will surely see the governors deploying all state apparatus to silent that critical voice. We've seen it happen in different parts of the country. Agba Jalingo was arrested, released and rearrested because he accused Ben Ayade of diverting Cross Rivers state funds

DissTroy:


This in itself is actually a compliment to the federal government. Asides Buhari's early days of trying to prove a macho point, he didn't mortally haunt his critics. GEJ was same. Tinubu is doing same too - not evidentially hunting his critics, yet.

Since state governments are vindictive bullies when we get in their crosshairs, let's focus all of that angst on the federal government alone.

Erm, how many state governments are paying salaries consistently and the minimum wage too?

There's insecurity? What's the point of security votes to state and LG governments? (Yes, LG governments get security votes (asides FAC allocations) from the federal purse too which governor pocket too.)

Tinubu is captaining this sinking ship but be rest assured his crew members are the governors. And they should get the stick too here and on social media when we criticize government.

BlueRayDick:


Maybe u should shed more light on it; I honestly do not follow ur point.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:




If u don't understand. move on. For you, its seems okay and normal if military attack unarmed civilians, burn school and markets cox they want to curb ipob menace.

I think there is a gas pipeline project to Europe from Naija. I dont know the level of completion though

1.State Governors are the least tolerant to criticism amongst the tiers of goverment under the executive arm. For example if a civil servant acts as a whistle blower , the state government will use the civil service rules to fish that person out and mark him for serious disciplinary actions. They may even have him arrested on some trump up charges.

2. If a private citizen calls out the state government; immediately the state government will start looking for one ancient law the citizen had broken in the past; his tax records; status of his building's C of O, etc to get back at him and have him smoked.

For point 1, about 2-3 months ago one LGA chairman in Ogun state called out Gov. Dapo Abiodun for witholding funds belonging to LGA's for years running. Guess what happened afterwards? DSS invited the man, detained him and the man was later impeached by councillors sponsored by the governor he called out. And that's someone in the political circle who knew for a fact that the governor withheld the statutory funds not for a noble reason. The annoying thing is even the people whom he was speaking on their behalf didn't even bat an eyelid to try and stand by him for a second.

Talking about the people, some people even defeded Sanwoolu when Doherty letter made the headlines all through last week. I don't know if that's the juju people always talk about that is in action; cos I just can't wrap my head around normal citizen coming up with defence for financial recklessness of political office holders. Some even turn it to d*ck measuring contest trying to compare what my governor spent to what ur governor spent. smh
