Op, well said message. I hope we all learn.

What has made it worse is how insults and name calling have become order of the day on this forum - afonja, Yoruba Muslims, iPods, etc.

May God help us all.

Well said, the should be an eye opener to our tribalistic brothers who derive joy and happines in promoting hateful speech..

True talk

You are part of the problem of this country by hiding under the guise of trying to stop hate messages and succinctly passing on the message that we should leave PMB alone.

That's not going to be possible because he has not been an effective leader. All he understands is military might. Why not go and tell him to disarm the fulani herdsmen? Why not go tell him to bring the killer's amongst them to book?

People are dying everyday under his treacherous rule and flagrant disregard for due democratic processes and you are here to do media propaganda.

Nonsense.

@NothingDoMe,

Baba its the BITTER TRUTH I've just stated o. Do you think there's any perfect leadership/ government anywhere, absolutely No!

Look at what Obama did in US, he was still being criticized. Or is it the Ex-Governor of my state of origin, Oshiomole who transformed all primary & secondary schools in Edo; even tarred kilometres of Road in my town, a PDP stronghold!! He was still criticized.

You & I can write & 'wail' all we want from now till eternity, it doesn't change anything.

I'm not holding brief for PMB or anyone ok; I'm a young Nigerian who takes responsibility for my life, family, career & business.

MY STAND IS THAT OUR POWER & GREVIANCE SHOULD BE IN OUR VOTES, & NOT WASTING OUR LIVES ONLINE SPREADING & PROPAGATING HATE..

Cheers

@pineed

Which votes do you speak of? The one heavily marred by irregularities? It's better to write than to vote. At least the whole world can read what is written.

Majority of Nigerians are annoyed with this current government. Buhari has pissed off Nigerians and he must dance to the music. Thank you for your concern but don't worry about our "wailing".

Let his corruption fighting and economic policies translate to better lives for Nigerians. He would naturally garner more supporters. No propaganda can prevail against good visible works.

Good day,
You talk as if you represent 'the people' or majority of Nigerians, speak for yourself bro.

As a well meaning Nigeria youth I know what got us here... Waste, Profligacy, income loss & lack of savings. We're all bearing the brunt now & must work to get over the situation.

We only cry about the Center/PMB, but have totally forgot our State Governments, who are meant to be directly responsible to us.

May I ask:
1) WHO/WHERE IS OUR STATE GOVERNOR, SENATOR, FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE, STATE REPS, LOCAL GOVT. CHAIRMAN?

2) WHAT ACTIONS, POLICIES & DEVELOPMENT HAS OUR STATES DONE/BEEN PUTTING IN PLACE TO BETTER OUR LIVES.

3) WITH THE FUNDS BOTH GENERATED INTERNALLY AND MONTHLY ALLOCATIONS REGULARLY SENT FROM THE CENTER, HOW HAVE YOUR STATE GOVERNORS BETTER YOUR LOTS VIA SALARY PAYMENT, INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC UTILITIES, ETC?

Look at states like Lagos how it has worked hard on improving IGR thru efficient IRS, been able to put up infrastructures, facilities & several projects. Partnering with Kebbi state to provide LAKE rice at Affordable rate of 12k. Also workers salaries are not owed. LAGOS HAS BECOME THE 4TH LARGEST ECONOMY IN AFRICA, ALL BY LOOKING INWARDS & EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT.

Other states like Edo, Kebbi, Ogun, Anambra, Ebonyi, Awka Ibom, Osun, Ebonyi, etc have been doing same to giving better lives to their people. THEY HAVE TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY.

Ask yourself, why are certain states including your state still owning salaries, even after the FG have severally sent them BAIL OUT FUNDS, PARIS CLUB FUNDS & MONTHLY ALLOCATIONS.

Let's be true to ourselves, unless some persons personally hate PMB.

Spot on!
We need to focus more at the State Govt. level & hold our immediate leaders accountable.

See how some South South governments have failed in the past even with the huge Revenues both from FG and internal. Not to mention the SE state governments. Its a shame!

Bro u ve just said it the way it is. Let our youths keep wailing,shouting ,fighting ourselves,calling ourselves unprintable names like afonja,iPod,unity beggars, Nd all sort of things they can think of while our so called governments laugh at us,smile to the bank,secure the future of their children Nd loot everything lootable. Let us keep fighting ourselves Nd let our common enemies be seeing us as fools. Thank u so much for ur write up
