Its not my business to show you what other governors are doing. Im only interested in commenting where I see fit. Udom has done fine by creating jobs for his people. it is commendable and more preferable to big flyovers and building airport lounges. People need to be employed to live their lives. for all her huge allocations I still consider Akwa Ibom a poor state. Poor in the sense of the livability of her citizens that I see in Lagos and PH and Abuja. Alot of them live in batchers and shacks and it speaks alot about life in Akwa Ibom. If citizens of a state should be outside in such numbers and most living in squabble conditions, then the govt isn't getting priorities right.


I didn't quote you to say he didn't do well, but there is nothing Amazing. good job tho. Why are you even Amazed sef..

Ilaumoh:

Yeah your right bro...we will get to that point....that is why am doing all to invite investors like you to come in an invest. All our politicians are criminal but udom is trying atleast interms of industrialization...
Again I understand your point an I stand by it tooo..
Meanwhile delta and Lagos are the first 2 highest earner from Fed allocation

I though you people like to say we ''do not manufacture common toothpick in Nigeria''?

Now he's showing you more advanced levels than toothpicks and you're asking ''what's the big deal?

Confused people.

rdokoye:


The government shouldn't bother trying to industrialize the state, instead they should focus on socialist policies, to build capacity. That way, development will be private sector led.

Never known any country, city or state to develop through public sector led initiatives. That's why it looks as though the governor isn't do as much as he should, when in reality he is. Akwa Ibom and every other state in Nigeria doesn't make enough money to develop its state using public funds alone. It needs the private sector to lead. And the only way it can do that, is by creating a private sector.

90% of all the development projects in Anambra for example, are private sector projects.

Hunchogee:

Some of you just wakeup from sleep and start taking nonsense without asking questions...please all Akwa Ibom Industrialization are PPP(Public-Private Partnership) and stop lying nonsense too...
All communist countries are government driven economy ok...
Nigeria is not a capitalist country but mixed factor (PPP) so go back to school and stop lying nonsense on the online space ok.
In river and delta state most if the industries there are federal government not private ok....When you here joint venture what do you think that means? Is PPP so leave stop taking without doing research ok...

I do don't know about anambra but am sure the igbo business mentality is only leveled mostly on medium and small scale business ok...
So do your own research properly..
Do you know NNPC is government?
Do you know shel, ExxonMobil, LNG etc are all PPP?
So stop lying ok....

rdokoye:


I should do my research? You brought up commie countries as an example of a public sector led economies. You obviously don't understand what I wrote. So just say that, instead of making a fool of yourself.

Communism is a system of governance were the economy is heavily regulated by the state. The companies, the employers of said economy are private sector owned, they're just heavily stifled by government policy, which seeks to ensure everyone enjoys the same standard of living.

But of course that's not possible, as all businesses and occupations are not created equally. Some are more profitable than others. Communism seeks to address this problem by using wealth generated from more profitable exploits to fund and supplement the wages of less profitable occupations, e.I. Road sweepers, porters etc.

In short, it doesn't work, as it inhibits economic development, which over time leads to more poverty. Nigeria is a capitalist economy, with a largely backward population. But that's the fault of its leaders, who have for so long leveraged off the backwardness of their populace to keep themselves in power.

Last I checked there's no heavily regulation of businesses in Nigeria, nor are there any welfare packages, so you can't call it a socialist economy. You either work or die.

Hunchogee:

I just hope you understand all what you are saying .....
Meanwhile find proof on the latest news below...Nigeria is a mixed economy as Ilaumoh said...

rdokoye:


He didn't "said" that to me, and whether or not he wrote that to someone else is irrelevant, because that wasn't my point. My point is, that the government has no business getting into business and/or industries. That's the sole responsibility of the people. The government's job is to create the enablers, so that the populace can have the knowhow and the funding to establish these businesses/industries.

As I've said before, such businesses never last; whether they're in Nigeria, USA or England.

Hunchogee:

It thus bro...just do more research..e.g Ethiopia Air, NNPC, Saudi Aramco, CC CHINA ETC BRO

rdokoye:


NNPC...lol, there's always exceptions to the rule, but they're just that, exceptions. Many of these state-owned companies operate monopolies, or close to - so it doesn't disprove my position. That state owned companies don't work.
