APC Governors Assemble To Ask Buhari For Bailouts by Ikengawo: 3:12am On Jun 22, 2015 |
We the governors of the progressive party met today to review the state of the economy…it has become so serious and urgent actions must be taken for a bail out for our states. We have some challenges because of the drop in oil price and issues of oil theft…. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/states-request-for-bail-out-and-its-consequences/ 12 Likes 1 Share |

meanwhile people are even owing Anambra money. I think that if you ask for a bailout the justified thing would be to resign first. A state like Anambra has low allocation and unbelievably high population so they're serving more people with less money. [img]http://exploringafrica.matrix.msu.edu/students/images/population_density.jpg[/img] A state that's second to Lagos in population density, and survived a bombardment in a civil war is lending money to Lagos, Osun, Kano and the rest. Lagos gets the allocation of a SS state and what's the end result? Debt. People want to ally with APC and or PDP even if it kills them because at this point looking at either objectively will make you look like you've given up or that you've been defeated and people's egos can't handle it but Jesus Christ when will this end? Nigerians are now so obsessed with politicians that they can't call a spade a spade anymore for the sake of defending a thief online that doesn't know your name. I pray that Imo will be free from the grips of Okorocha but it's looking hopeless. We're going to lose another 4 years to using our money as a personal marketing budget. Saddening! I blame PDP in Imo for being a den of foolish and primitive thieves that don't know the game of politics. Look at us standing among yoruba and hausa states begging for money!!! chie! 62 Likes 9 Shares |

if you can't manager your budget, how can you manage a bailout? the osun state governor has announced that banks are refusing to lend him anything now!! WOW. A bank knows you get billions of Naira every MONTH from the fed, but won't lend you money because they know you can't pay them back due to incompetence. ![]() But for the sake of saying I'm APC and I'm yoruba peope will defend this ape without consequence ![]() 68 Likes 6 Shares |

hairdryingcap: It has nothing to do with Abuja! We can't say this is normal behavior from Nigerians governors. The bottom line is Osun for example started O Meals, which is giving kids a horrible god forsaken piece of Garri and soup EVERY SINGLE DAY for 365 years. Great program right? Fine, but they didn't think 'will this cost money' and 'how will i raise the funds'. Didn't they think to increase taxes or cut spending elsewhere? No. They borrowed. Okorocha made 'education free' in Imo. Did he increase tax anywhere, or think of a way to raise the money? No. He just borrowed Fashola has used all the increased tax to pay Tinubu. all of these governors did these things not to advance their states but to promote their own person. These are all polices intended to deceive the poor that are no different from throwing rice on the floor and people praising you because they can pick it up and cook with it. No plan, nothing is being 'built', people aren't being taught how to sustain themselves, employment isn't created lives aren't advanced. But look at Anambra with less allocation than all of them. They privatized education. They're #1 in education now and don't have to include education in their budget at all. They privatized health care. They're #1 in healthcare and don't have to include that in their budget at all. What's left is continuing to build their roads and aid their factories while lending money to these populist alcoholics that use state budgets like personal promotion funds with their babalawo economics. 76 Likes 11 Shares |

pazienza: is it a lie? what other igbo man do you see there. Did you know that Enugu makes it's citizens build their own projects and either aids them in building it or pays them after they themselves complete it. The cost of governance is the lowest in Nigeria and the IGR is now the 4th highest After Lagos, Ibom, Delta and Rivers. This is with 1. No oil 2. Allocation as low as Osun 3. Federal neglect 4. Less industry that the top 4 states 5. (allegedly) less population 6. Low taxes with low taxes Enugu raises the same money as Lagos that is killing people with tax. People will defend Lagos because they want to form 'I'm APC' and 'I'm Yoruba'. Meanwhile APC yoruba people are being robbed by Lastma and there are dead bodies lying untouched and untreated on various Lagos streets. 48 Likes 1 Share |

I have to comment on this. Nigerians are very gullible. A hard fact. Herd mentality and useless party affiliation will always be their undoing. I have watched with awe what okorocha has reduced imo state to. If I may ask? What does he do for a living? All the states in nigeria have enough allocations to move forward but as usual our politicians dribble us and we spend days on internet worshiping them. Yet to see the positive effect of fashola govt. Yet he is the highest praised ex gov here. Now we have started praising wike,elrufai, fayose etc. Can't we see behind the mask? Berem,abagworo,come and defend ur governor. So shameful. Imo state,a wonderful state reduced to nothing and made caricature of. Igbos r known huzzlers and I'm so shocked okorocha isn't one. Simple,look for what u have to feed urself with or if u don't have,manufacture one. After acquiring all,they will show us via the internet their loot by posting their exotic cars and houses like the melanye guy and we will hail them. No wonder oyibos will continue to rule us cos we don't have what it takes to move forward. Bis as usual for those thieves. Kudos to anambra govt. Watch out that state in the next ten yrs. The governor has that anambra spirit. Self reliance. If tomorrow,fed allawee stops,they will still map out ways to survive. Others should tell their govs to emulate obiano. 38 Likes 3 Shares |

When u wait for government to spoon feed you, you have a problem. The OP said Fashola used Lagos taxes to pay Tinnubu, are u a comedian?. The street in the picture, when the people leaving on that street lack basic environmental sanitation techniques, that's what they get. Or u want to tell me its the government that put all those ddirts in the drainages. Or u think if govt clears it for. them, it won't happen again? I'm not saying asking for bail out is right but don't jusst come here and talk nonsense cos u hate Yoruba and Hausa and APC 3 Likes 1 Share |

Freelancer00:Are you kidding me? Seriously you are blaming the people? It boils down to what a poster above said, we will support them just becomes of party affiliation etc. The truth is this Lagos residents pay more tax than any other states. It is the duty of the goverment to ensure that the state has an efficient waste disposal system. When I say efficient I am not refering to the quak system in Lagos.

Ikengawo do you understand that population density DOES NOT necessarily mean a high population? A small generator room with 10 people has a higher population density than the Etihad Stadium with 1,000 people. The only reason the population density of Anambra is high on that map is because it's a town with a small piece of land hosting too many people, hence the density. Figures from NPC put Anambra state at 4.1 million while a state like Kano has over 9 million residents. I will not respond further as the intention of your thread is laid bare starting from the deceptive foundation and your chest beating tantrums, instead of investigating why such states that clearly receive higher allocations are in this situation, considering of course they have a substantially higher financial burden being bigger states than Anambra in all ramifications. Take Bayswater's advice. 4 Likes |

NO BAILOUT would have been the appropriate response to the governors concerned but for the suffering civil servants/pensioners. However should nigerians decided to support the bailout then those governors should tell us their programme/modalities of how they intend paying back lest they turn aroung again to blame dwindling oil revenues whilst they live large and embezzle as usual. They should also guarantee the monies will be for salaries/pensions and not be channelled into debt servicing cos its common knowledge most state governments have ISPO with several banks/contractors. Likewise these governors need to tell us what they have been doing with Local govt allocations since governance at the local level seems non existent and some of them have not to deem it fit to organise lg elections too but have been pocketing allocations meant for this 3rd tier of goverment for years. Fellow nigerians let us be discerning and ask questions from our politicians lest we continue to elect and entrust our lives and those of our children into the hands of refrigerator technicians, fraudsters, druglords, failed businessmen/women and self-style professional politicians with zero management skills. Nigeria shall be great but we all have a part to play in ensuring her success. 3 Likes |

Freelancer00: The city where I live it is difficult to come across a street without a waste bin. Five days a week Monday through Friday city council cleaner go around the city picking up dirty they use the long metal grab to pick up any trashes on the sidewalks, roads and from crevices. While once a week waste disposal trucks comes around to pick up garbage from peoples home. Once a week a different disposal team comes to pick up cartoons and paper waste. Once a week different waste disposal company comes to carry away recyclable waste from homes. Which means waste disposal trucks comes to every street three times a week: one for biodegradable, recycled plastics and paper-based waste. In addition to that the city council still go around picking litters off the street. That does not mean that people do not have bins at home. Bros my point is it is the job of the government to ensure that waste are properly disposed. It is quite unfortunate that over the years our government have found ways to pass the buck of the blame to we citizens and due to sheer ignorance and blind allegiance we accepted it was our fault. It saddens me when I hear our government telling our youths that they should create jobs for themselves and stop waiting on government, my question to them is what is the point of having a government and paying taxes when by the end of the day the citizens are expected to manage their waste disposal, clean their streets, provide employment themselves, provide their own security and power as well. 15 Likes 3 Shares |
