The biggest hypocrite. It always delude common sense and logical reasoning that educated folks seems trapped in a fantacy world shouting blue murder whenever their predictions go haywire. In your little reasoning the new administrationg will automatically right all the wrongs in just two months, mind you, we are talking about almost 40 years of military and civilian maladministration. Only deluded and myopic fellas will critisize the govt which is less than 100 days in office to fix the rot which, you included, were responsible for. Stop decieving people and take the bold step by going back as the PDP minion that you are. The real people that voted for change know that we arent living in a fairy world where the president will wave a magic wand and everything will be AMERICA. It takes time, money, patience, commitment, dedication, stepping on toes, sleepless night and prayers to re-bastardized what you and your cohorts in PDP have done to Nigeria. Its rather sad that you double agents, working for your stomach, will even be bold to criticize this govt whereas you and I know its a subtle way of getting back at people that kick your bu.tts out of power. Oh my God!!!! I feel like crying  Please patriotic Nigerians, disregards this rantings and treasonable comments, I believe Nigeria will be great but it will take time. Rome wasnt built in a day, they say. PDP stop campigning!!! There is no election until 2019. Bad losers!!!! 4 Likes 1 Share |

rottennaija: Thank you for this write up. See tiny country of Liberia and yet they are killing themselves. Do not understand why Africans love killing themselves so much as opposed to development. Mean while massive Brazil with all their race problems and diversity is a respected country. Same goes for China, Russia, US etc. Size is not the issue. Nigeria's size is a a major plus. The people blaming Nigeria are just barking at the wrong tree. Nigeria's problem is CORRUPT THIEVING POLITICIANS - looting our commonwealth with no ethics and morals. Divide Nigeria (God Forbid!) and these thieving politicians will just have their own little fiefdoms and start doing the same thing or worse. Tell me which state wey no get thieving politicians. 1 Like |

san316: Rhetorics of an hypnotized Change chanter. You are still in the game of blaming GEJ after the dullard you voted for is confused already. I thought they said Buhari dealt with maistatine rebels or whatever in less than 30 days as the head of State. I wonder why he couldn't perform the same magic on Bokoharam. Foolish people everywhere .Mtcheew! |

Obijulius:/ A drowning man will grab at anything. GEJ was so bad that Nigerians grabbed at anything. Luckily for him, PMB was at the right place at the right time. Presidency is not the birthright of Jonathan. He did his stint and moved on. Let someone else try till we get it right. It is your kind of ideology and stupid hero worship that give rise to the likes of Mugabe and other sit-tight African leaders. GEJ good or bad still had to leave at some point. His tenure was up and he left. PMB good or bad will leave at some point too. The world is not going to end because no more years will be wasted on GEJ. @ CramJones: Talking about life in Nigeria. Considering all indices, most people living in Nigeria are walking corpses. The only good thing is that they don't know it. Thus, they still erroneously count themselves among the living because they are still breathing. / 2 Likes |

[quote author=cramjones post=35571603]It is about time every right thinking Nigeria begin to think of an alternative country to live in. Apart from the civil war, the last 6 years have been an unending war in Nigeria. How can any sane person think of building a future in a country where your life can be cut short at any moment? How can you call a country home where you cannot even succeed financially and walk the streets freely, or even have your family walk freely. A good example is my dear friend Chimamanda the whole world celebrates, yet her country rewarded her by kidnapping her father. Or is it Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who was rewarded by kidnapping her 82 year old fragile mom. Or is it the professor that was rewarded by being brutally murdered in the comfort of his home? Why should any sane person keep thinking of living in Nigeria, when they campainged for CHANGE, when all the get is mass killings every other day? We do not blame PMB for the menace taking place in Nigeria, why should we even blame him? the travails of this country has really eaten deep. Why should anyone be proud of Nigeria, when Femi Fani-Kayode or is it Olukayode announed to the whole world that he will now be going abroad for his long over due medical checkup. Do we even have hospitals that can take care of anything anymore? Why should anyone keep dreaming of an illusionary Nigerian dream, when if the President gets a heart attack he will die within hours, for their is no hospital in the whole country with a standard ICU and with capabilities for cardiac stenting or catheterization. A country where dead people lie on the street of Lagos, with no scintilla of help or emergency services by state! A country where people empty their account just go give birth "abroad" and make their children escape the horrors and de nove disadvantage of being a full Nigerian citizen. A country where mass killings have been made the norm with no state official commenting on over 500 innocent souls that have been killed in the past one month. A country despite the massive potentials and wealth still wallows in disease, corruption, kidnapping, poverty and everything bad. Truth be told, Nigeria has become a sinking ship, and needs to drown or fall off the cliff and then rebuilt again. For our youths to reach their full potential it is imperative for them to have their own revolution! Or at least start thinking of the nearest next African country to call home. Nigeria is a cooking hallogen gas in a hot air ballon that is about to pop and kill. It is coming, it must come, it is here! In summary, I hate Jonthan, I will give PMB a chance to save this sinking ship. Nevertheless, I won't have campainged for CHANGE but for a massive revolution. -CramJones Talk is so so cheap...take the lead in ur Revolution campaign,am solidly behind u..I can be a good follower.. |

Nigerians are impatient set of people.. Under this administration, so many bad things has happened like previous administrations but am wondering why people are shouting up and down when this tenure is still very young and barely two months old. Why didn't they campaign against previous tenures for 16 yrs? They kept mute about it like they are comfortable with everything. BH members get transferred to Anambra, all hell went loose but they would keep quite when a government isn't working. People went en masse at Anambra against the BH thing but wouldn't do a thing even if fuel sells at 500 naira. They believe they will survive but this goes to everybody. Every coast(East, West, North and South). A government should be checked every 90 days and if no changes within that period hit the street en masse, no movement, cause traffic everywhere in a peaceful protest and you would see if the desired change would come or not. Modified China and India are much bigger with much more citizens than us but they are working it out. Nothing, i mean absolutely nothing stops us from working it out. I saw a picture up there now regarding a protest on the actualization of Biafra, if they can do that. Why can't we match with one voice if a Government isn't working. By government i mean(Local, State and Federal) |

The main problem is CORRUPT, I THIEVING POLITICIANS BORN OUT IF SELFISHNESS AND SELF-INTEREST. that's the problem with Nigeria. Abeg, we need to educate, really really educate our people.

though part of this write-up is contradicting, some elements of truth are there in. i think we should stop apportioning blame here and there. the problems we are facing now are so many that i doubt if we cant solve it as an entity (1 Nigeria) without a lot of sacrifices. the notable ones of these problems are insurgence and corruption. 90% of the country is guilty of corruption; right from the families through schools to the society at large. until we sacrifice the greed in us we may not be able to overcome corruption. about insurgence, APC is blaming PDP while PDP also blames APC and the south blaming the north. everybody is blaming everybody. at times i find it very difficult to believe that certain people will be killing their own brothers; but it is happening. then do i called that political? if it is political, why then it has not stopped, since another party is on board? or if i say it is religious, why are mosques also been attacked by the same set of evil men? anyway i still believe in change. but if PMB regime fails which i earnestly pray it does not; the last resort for Nigerians is that this entity (NIGERIA) should cease to exist and every parts that formed it should go her way. at times in unity we stand and in division we stand stronger.

Niger delta will not and will never be part of Biafra because your south east in all honesty has little or nothing to bring to the table. It still baffles me beyond explication why u don't hold all ur governors responsible for your sorry situation. From 1999 till date, tell me one governor who has done fairly well from the south east.

My brother Codim82 don't mind the coward. Anyway Jonathan remains their Hero hence they cannot do without mentioning his name. The so called Cramjones that is talking nonsense about Nigeria, does he has any other country to go when he cannot afford garri to drink here in Nigeria due to laziness. Let him come so that I can lend him some money to go to any country of his choice to compare and contrast, before he can open his mouth to condemn Nigeria. As for his stupid statement about Jonathan, I ask God to forgive him for opening his mouth to condemn God in Jonathan. |

Dollyak: Let us be honest, is Nigeria bigger or diverse than China or India, if SIZE is really our problem? Are they not better than us? Our problem is the citizenry, yes, ME and YOu who are too selfish and self-centered to support any meaningful change in this country. Did you not see the way one side was clapping when a criminal was being enthroned as our Senate Leader? What then do you expect to come from such arrangement? Do you not see how some will just ignore the protest, when we call for a protest to drive home a point to our Government? Did you not see how the last Presidential election was POLARISED along Tribal lines, by the same Nigerians that are shouting Nigeria is bad? Is it our Government that is responsible for selling fake drugs to us? Fake spare parts? Fake everything? Is it not we the same Nigerians that commit atrocities everywhere? Is it not we the same Nigerians that support a looter who is supposed to use his Ministry's allocation to repair the Hospitals but chose to loot it, simply because he is "my Brother"? Is that how they do in Britain of America? Is that what Chinese people do? Is it the "RELATIONSHIP" that is the problem or the PEOPLE involved? South Sudan said it was its "relationship" with the Republic of Sudan that was the problem. When they were let go, they have never lived a single Week without very dirty wars where they killed themselves like Goat, despite the fact that they are from the same tribe! Who told you that in an odua nation, Ijebu will not fight Ibadan? or in a Baifra, Aguileri will not decimate Umuileri (I know that one is not new!  ) ..or the Hausa will not be at the throat of the Fulani in an Arewa County?Okay, whether you agree or not, l tell you that JUSTICE, PROBITY (Zero tolerance for Corruption), TOLERANCE and MORAL REGENERATION is all we need to make this country better than any other country in the world. *JUSTICE in that everyone is treated fairly, whether Ibo, Yoruba or Hausa. No Cheating or favoritism based on tribal sentiments *PROBITY in that we must all agree that corruption harms everyone and the country and a looter is an enemy of the nation, wherever he hails from, and must be made an EXAMPLE, to deter others. I say Execute them like it is done in China! *TOLERANCE in that we must remove religion and tribe completely from our Political landscape. Everyone should practice their religion PRIVATELY. If we agree that we are a secular nation as enshrined in the constitution, then No Religion, especially Sharia, must be tolerated and allowed to supersede the constitution. Everyone must unite to remove the evil of religious fanaticism. Everyone must respect the religion of the other and tolerate them, with freedom to worship "in as much" as you do not infringe on the freedom of others *MORAL REGENERATION as in that l have lived long enough in this country to see and know the difference. Morally, Nigerians are bankrupt! From get-rich quick, to Drug pushing, to Faking, to teachers collecting Money from students, to Policemen collecting Roger everywhere, to Market sellers who inflate price or tamper with measures, to students who carry expo to pass exam, to 419, to workers who steal from their employers, e.t.c..... we need to start preaching the "Moral Change" while the preachers themselves need to start living by example. Strict punishment as we had under idiagbon might be a starting point. All these things do not require us to break the country and lose the advantage of size and diversity. Just imagine what America will be, if you break it into three states.... or do you think all Americans are the same? If you think so, go and ask the Texan Cowboy whether he is an native Indian or the Black Hommie from Maryland! But they still manage to live together and cope, hence the strength such that you cant impose sanctions on them because they have "everything",... from "somewhere" within the polity. Those shouting "break-Up" are those who dont know better or selfishly think they would be better when broken. Its not about buhari, its about we ourselves and who we are, though l concede that LEADERSHIP plays a major role in development. Nuff said! 3 Likes 3 Shares |

As far as I am concerned, Nigeria isn't a country but an experiment put together by the west. Funny enough, am not a GMB fan but I do not blame him so much. There is a big limit to what he can do. Every Nigerian wants change but no Nigerian is ready to change the bad elements in him/ her to a good one. I remember vividly sometime last year in Lagos, Phcn in my area were asking my estate to give them a bribe of 5 million naira for constant light. When we refused to pay, they refused to give us light. The funniest part is that the PHCN man asking for 5 million was wearing an APC change badge on his breast pocket. (am not singling out any political party pls. PDP and other political parties have done worse and no one is a saint). In summary, anyone who kicks against the present state of Nigeria should do his/ her own bit by kicking away tribalism, corruption etc. Till then, Nigeria cannot be better. |
