Ondo has oil - so siting both the refinery and sea port there would help the state develop.

Then that will also open up Lekki/Epe to Ogun waterside all the way to Ondo's coast.

But these clown are just too darn stupid - all they care about is greed and airbrushing everywhere/everything.

They lack foresight.

9jacrip:



Oh boy, are you serious with the emboldened? It comes to me as a surprise, honestly.

She has always been active on Yoruba threads and we exchanged a few private PMs; she seemed pro-Yoruba. Oh well, I guess one never knows.

LOL! @ all mods finding a new job - is being a moderator a job?

mignone:

they're nt just silly my brother. I think they have deliberately become hardhearted, sealing their consciences. they knw wat is right &purposely going in d wrong directions for greed sake. @least, they visit saner countries, having an idea of wat operates dia even if they claim 2 be ignorant of d details ...

Drmoffy/Interloper/Shymm3x/Aareonakakanfo/CabbieAC were all banned in the same period of time.Okay

InterloperX5:
But what beats my imagination of this SW leaders is their continue penchant for disagreeing to do something that will benefit the whole of the yorubas regardless of party lines, why the whole SW cannot agree to pool resources together and become equity partners on some gigantic project like opening some industrial hubs up like in Ondo to cater for our teeming army of unemployed youths.

Why should agreeing to come together for your people be looked on from the prism of politics or greed. if they were bent on letting the refinery sited in Ondo, they should have rallied round the suppose governor and ask he let the house know what are the challenges he feels he will be facing should refinery be sited at his backyard.

If it was road infrastructure and others, if it means pouring money using DAWN or ODUA investment as vehicle to get this done and building necessary organised estates to attract as much people into that areas so be it.

Atimes i feel we are our own worst enemies with political egos flying back and forth all the time . . . . .and still, the greatest good for the greatest number of people still left unmet whilst our youths continue to wither away.

And that's why I'll always site the Ondo state bitumen example.There's an OAU professor who refines bitumen in Ondo state but he's an APC chieftain.He once designed a blueprint on how Ondo state can make use of its bitumen deposits.Mimiko is PDP.Well you know the rest

APC and PDP - two sides to the same coin.

Populated by greedy loafers with no ideology whatsoever apart from looting.

I tell people Its just about one being slightly better than the other.There's nt much difference.The election for me was about picking the lesser evil .

I don't watch NFL

Am yet to be fully convinced we have matured politicians in this clime, everyone kinda in it to clean out and point fingers once things go haywire, how on earth can a country be richly blessed in the soil, on the waters and good climate and still cannot stand on her feet never ceases to baffle me.

If i may go down memory lane, Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and Denmark as a whole is made up of 700 little islands by leveraging on their marine power they literally built an industry out of water! from fishing to tourism to having the largest container shipping cargo (MEASK) birthed from their country tells me the endless possibilities coastal industries can give birth to if we really take it serious.

Then you have a country like Ireland with ferry services across the English channels, carrying everything from trucks, cars, goods, services and what have you, sailing is bout 3 hours from Holyhead to Dublin and boy o'l boy, those ships never run empty and they do bout 8 trips a day btw Irishferries and Stanalines. . . . . . .again smart folks leveraging on their coastal powers.

Like someone opined earlier, would't it be so nice we have some kind of coastal travel between Lagos and Ondo? the benefit to dangote refinery and the allied industries that will spring up as a result of siting same in Ondo can't be a thumbs down in anyway.

I've always thought about the emboldened but security is another issue.You know the funny thing? These countries don't even have half as much as we do in terms of potentials.Countries like Japan,Switzerland,Singapore have nothing when it comes to natural resources,but they thrive.We upon say we get everything,we still poor

nduchucks:
Permit me to observe that it does not take any brain power to criticise and call your leaders failures and folks who are bereft of great ideas. Such criticisms do not really require any genius.

Most of the so-called leaders were once students abroad who were bright enough to return home and who worked their ways to leadership positions. The armchair youths of today, including many dumb ones on this thread forming expert analysts, I'm sorry to say, are worse than the leaders they are criticising.

The leaders are not aliens from Mars but fellow Nigerians and Yorubas. Get off your butts, roll up your sleaves, get in the trenches and show us how it is done. If you don't do that, I'm afraid 10years from now, you may still be on nairaland criticising the leaders of the day.

I have confidence that most of you are mature enough to take constructive criticisms. Yoruba youths ronu o.

Je kin salo ki won to fi tantrum attack mi ni bi o.

No wonder dem talk say you no get sense .Everything in your brain is APC. Even If your whole family die of hunger,you'll never accept the truth all in the name of partisan politics

InterloperX5:
Have always had it in me, if i ever be in a position to govern a state, i will have a mindset i will be on the job for only one term and literally give it all I can as for second term?! i really can't b bothered because i perceive in their quest to make a second go at the helm of affairs again, they flow with the status quo and tend not to think outside the box and indirectly stifle development.

As it is i really don't think the masses are really benefitting anything from having truck loads of APC governors and legislators that can actually wear their thinking cap and marshal out a plan of action for a gigantic pan yoruba project in one or two states during the tenure, seems they promise all whilst campaigning, get voted in and make a volte face afterwards.

nduchucks:


sebi I talk say missiles go soon begin fly . Stop pretending that you missed the point of my post - the post has nothing whatsoever to do with APC.

Hian! how that one take be missile.Na freestyle be that.You said we should show them how it's done.Since they know they can't do the job, why are they seeking for the post at the first place? What was the campaign for We voted them and If they're not doing the right things, you expect us to keep quiet ?All we can do is criticize.Na because of say na APC jare no dey lie

Criticisms may not be enough. Some of the known noisemakers including some on this thread (you excluded), have been criticising for years without anything to show for it. More tangible steps may be in order.

By the way,I am not as partisan as you may think. I also appreciate your maturity, keep it up.

ShymmeXS:


I supported APC during the election cos I knew Buhari would win a year before the election cos the external forces wanted regime change in Nigeria and GEJ's not their guy. Then GEJ was an utter failure and the dumbest/worst leader to ever rule a country. Ditto the fact that he was a sectional leader and you can't give a leader as useless as that a 2nd term with nothing to lose, unless you want utter destruction. Coupled with Yoruba interests due to the APC structure being firmly in their pre-election and the fact that I thought they would hold their own in realpolitik and, get certain things/concessions from the centre.

However, Buhari is starting to look more like GEJ 2.0. Like seriously, what type of leader goes on a jamboree of foreign trips when his country is burning? Yorubas lost out in the power-play and realpolitik. And it's back to the GEJ era albeit it moved from SE/SS to North. Nigeria is basically just cursed with the worst set of leaders/politicians.

You need to lock into NFL - it's fun.
