Singapore is a unitary city-state. The entire contiguous area is Singapore. No regions, no state, no LG just Singapore.
Nigeria is a Federation of States, regions. You may be thinking of educating your people as a region or state while someone else's priority is how to get bandits to hajj.
Image 1 - Popular record, 2 years before he left
Image 2 - Yar’adua was more popular than OBJ, and more FDIs came in under his administration, but we all know who did the hard yards.
You want a Unitarist State? You can as well 'Arewastan', and stop disturbing us.
This is a Federal State, and it will assume True Fedralism, whether you lot like it or not.
I have never seen a state government institution or facility that is better run than their federal counterparts.
* Federal universities generally rank above most state universities.
* Federal Government Colleges are better run than state government colleges
* Federal teaching hospitals offer more specialised healthcare than state hospitals.
* Federal roads are better built and maintained than state roads.
* INEC, despite its imperfections, conducts more credible elections than State Independent Electoral Commissions.
* The federal civil service is generally more structured than state civil service.
If performance is the benchmark, why does Tinubu think states can run police better than the federal government?
Your parents asked Babangida why he was wasting money on 3rd Mainland bridge.
They were uneducated.
You that is educated and has seen the benefit of 3rd mainland bridge is asking why Tinubu is wasting money on Coastal road and Sokoto-Badagry superhighway
Shey you can see that, being educated has no positive impact on your life?
You and your uneducated parents = Olodo Pro Max
Instead of investing massively in education, you're using govt’s money to send terrorists on Hajj. You sent a whopping ten terrorists on Hajj, the same terrorists who have been killing your people day and night.
Bro, Northern leaders are wicked and very callous.
In the UK, The Welsh rules Wales, the Scots rules Scotland and England for the English.
In Belgium, the French control the French speaking part of Belgium, the Dutch control the Flanders while the Germans rule the German speaking part of Belgium.
The same thing also applies to Switzerland and Italy.
The only people who wants to destroy state of origin in Nigeria are the Igbos and Fulanis.
To utter this gibberish you call opinion in a multi ethnic and volatile country like Nigeria should be tagged crime against humanity.
Nomadic expansionists/settlers will forever be at war with indigenous people in Nigeria.
I had Bola Tinubu's manifesto in my possession since 24 October 2022.
I read it for the 1st time on 25th October 2022.
I read all 80 something pages in 1 sitting.
My conclusion at the time - "if he does even half of all these things, I will support him"
Its 2026, he's done almost everything.
Mr Usman Isyaku's outburst here represents the malaise many have talked about, that afflicts Arewa Nigeria.
You have problems. Admit them and focus on them intently.
There is a national out-of-school children malaise that is afflicting the entire country. It is primarily dominant in the North.
Close to 14 million people are out-of-school. This means they are unlikely to be productive assets in the economy.
They also represent a fertile pool to recruit from in insecurity and banditry that has ravaged the country.
But because of this absolute reluctance to admit correction from others, you will stonewall, and start defending the indefensible.
Ekiti is the smallest state in the entire SW.
Zamfara is about 1.5 times the population of Ekiti.
Sokoto is about 1.7 times the population of Ekiti.
Yet, Ekiti, the smallest state in SW generates more IGR than both of them.
Leave out Lagos. Take Ogun.
Ogun is 1.4 times smaller than Kaduna State.
Ogun is 2.4 times smaller than Kano State.
Yet, Ogun state has a higher IGR than Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara combined!
Ogun alone outperforms 3 NW states, even when it has a smaller population than them.
Yet, these states have significantly higher land mass and population.
If you don't think that calls for sober reflection and putting your back into serious work.
Then you are simply not ready.
Ordinary tax reforms to get states that actually generate consumption retain a big portion of it,caused wahala because there was genuine fears, by some Northern commentators revenue accruing to their states will dwindle.
You better go out and touch grass.
We don’t call out the North enough, a region that prioritizes mass weddings and aimless pilgrimages over education of children is a danger to us all
I’m so happy about state police, when they’re done breeding future terrorists, atleast we can now be allowed to protect ourselves from them, God bless the presidency 🇳🇬
-Poverty capital of the world
-Highest out of school children
-Terrorism capital
80% of all the bad names we’ve had to deal with as a nation all comes from one region, thank God it’s coming from one of them
That hatred for Tinubu is partly because he practically took away the favourite talking points of many political analysts.
For years, the daily conversation was the same: Remove subsidy, float the exchange rate, establish state police, and devolve more powers to the local governments.
Then Tinubu suddenly appeared from somewhere and said, “Okay, let’s do them.”
Now, whether you agree with his implementation or not, the talking points have changed completely.
If na you nko, you go like the man?
Pastor Adefarasin is the son of Late Justice Adefarasin, one of the big boys of pre-independence Nigeria. Full time elite. He used to say something to his church members which I know they don’t understand. He says, “we are common villagers.. even the most elite among us. How did we forget so quickly where we came from?”
Today, Nigerians want Nigeria to compete with America. They want to compete with Germany. Of course aspiration is allowed. The problem is are they willing to put in the work?
The more qualified the more silly. A HR who prides herself as one of Nigeria’s most qualified once sent me a query and i asked her what exactly did i do? She had no idea. Did you mean you just sent a query because you were asked to? No agency. The higher the heels 👠 the more you’ll be disappointed. The sleeker the suite the more unbothered.
They don’t read their emails. Nothing excites them but money they haven’t earned. Even if Nigeria was to borrow $1 trillion to once and for all lift the economy isn’t this the same people who will run it in their different capacities? Lazy people with zero imagination. I bet they will run the country down.
Come and be like UK make I see na.
