Venerable612: Ok. I did not mean total communism, that is why I said 'at best', I meant parts of the ideology (controlling media for instance). Perhaps socialist was a better term to use. Is there really free capitalism with APC? Thanks for your correction, you could have been nicer about it though  1 Like |

APC has a progressive socialist kind of ideology. The Pdp has none, only an elitist kind of mentality |

safarigirl: Nope I disagree. Having an elitist mentality does not make you a capitalist. It only makes you feel entitled. In communists countries such NK and the old Soviet union, the ruling class has an elitist mentality but they do not even believe in capitalism. Pdp has no ideology except to win elections and steal as much money as possible. They feel entitled to public money and that they must win all elections. 1 Like |

Ayoefa: And APC does not feel entitled to public money? Can you compare cashflow under PDP and cash flow under APC? If any party has an elitist mentality, it is even the APC under who, Nigeria became Poverty Capital of the world, while stealing is at an all time high, albeit among a smaller group.

Angelfrost: Did you read and understand my comment? And if, for the sake of argument, I concede that APC is no different from PDP because they are a breakaway from PDP. It is logically flawed to suppose that they are that way because they came off PDP. Many Pentecostal churches are breakaway factions of orthodox churches, but this doesn’t make them orthodox, by any fraction. Given that, I would denigrate PDP more than I do APC, always, because Yaradua was the only good thing that came off them - apart from the present Seyi Makinde - as far as I am concerned. They lack consistency - in the way that APC has managed in governance and ideology in the last 16 years. |

CSTR2: Why are they not close to being welfarist? Although I imagine that was the point I made which you obviously missed. Yes, I agree with you - PDP may be capitalist and I am wondering why you obviously don’t see how they have failed on that as well. |

safarigirl: Which public? May be in your village. Not where I am. I'm tired of lecturing people. So quick lecture. There's more money under pdp simply because oil was selling for much higher then under Buhari. When Buhari came in oil was selling for 28 dollars hence the economy went into recession. The country is slowly coming out of recession. Despite these serious shortfalls in oil income, this govt has and is investing money into projects that will make your easier for many years to come. I know, you just want quick money to spend on frivolous current expenditures that will not have lasting impact on people's lives. Black man or woman with shortsighted mindset. Think of the long run not the instant satisfaction. |

I am getting a headache from the wrong usage of the word capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system in which private individuals or businesses own capital goods. The production of goods and services is based on supply and demand in the general market—known as a market economy—rather than through central planning—known as a planned economy or command economy. The purest form of capitalism is free market or laissez-faire capitalism. Here, private individuals are unrestrained. They may determine where to invest, what to produce or sell, and at which prices to exchange goods and services. The laissez-faire marketplace operates without checks or controls. Today, most countries practice a mixed capitalist system that includes some degree of government regulation of business and ownership of select industries. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capitalism.asp There is no party in Nigeria that is against capitalism (free markets) to the best of my knowledge. Even in countries with strong social security systems capitalism is the at the core of their economies, albeit not in its pure (laissez-faire) form. |

safarigirl: Smiles - I am sorry if I appeared harsh. I understand why you think they are socialist or communist. Especially with the control of the media and all. But the problem is that socialism and communism are quite extreme. If we were to present a moot point on this, you will hardly have practical examples to give. See e.g. “Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management as well as the political theories and movements associated with them.” There is no strong ownership of anything or advocating of such by the APC government. What Buhari has done and seeks to achieve is to restrict people’s rights on speech - and that’s hardly socialism - because there is no ECONOMIC gain to it. Socialism is as much an economic theory as it is a political theory. On the other hand, “Welfare state refers to a type of governing in which the national government plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens”. That’s why they tend to want to carry everybody along with their policies (generally now, not just Buhari) - but they fail at it, because at the end, they still do that for their selfish reasons. |

Honestly. I don't think so! Especially this APC political shit party! Reason is, I have always thought that governance should be about improving the lives of the citizenry first but all I see is that some of these political parties are sheep in wolves clothes. Imagine I came back from work, and I had to stop over at a particular bar to step down and ease myself of today's work pressure with good food and some bottles of beer . And immediately sat down, I saw an elderly retired woman who was looking so sad and tired drinking water with tears, I was troubled, couldn't stand the woman's tears and I worked up to her and asked her, 'mama whiy are you crying ?' , and she said she went to enquire whether her pension has been paid in from her bank and she was told no. I asked her where she worked before her retirement and she said she retired from a federal University. Honestly, I lost my joy, I felt so bad seeing her in such a situation shading tears and I said to myself , 'what if this is your mother how would you feel,seeing the mother that brought you into this world shed tears like this because of NOVEMBER 2019 pension that hasn't been paid by this WICKED BUHARI ADMINISTRATION TILL NOW?'. I was moved to give that mama some reasonable amount of money that I had on me, which was part of my relaxation money. At the end, I had to drink two bottles instead of three and came back to my house. And ever since I came back I have been thinking and asking myself, is real governance about the selfish interests of political parties and people that those political parties brought to power or the citizenry? To be honest, according to the woman she said the government has been paying even. before a month runs out but she feels the government has changed!. So I feel that some of these political parties have HYPOCRITICAL IDEOLOGY. Otherwise I don't see the essence of delaying salaries and pentioneers benefits till now. This is bad!! |
