Ignatio: Nigerians you've been played.

THIS GUY QUOTES PARABLES AND IMPLIES SENSELESS ASSUMPTIONS. NIGERIANS HAVE BEEN FAILED BY PEOPLE FROM THE PAST AND PRESENT. WE HAVE NOT FAILED ANY OF OUR RULERS. RATHER, WE HAVE FAILED EACH OTHER. THE RULERS PERSISTENTLY CONTINUE TO FAIL US. THUS, KNOWING WE CANNOT FAIL OUR RULERS, WE RESORT TO FAILING EACH OTHER. THIS IS WHAT WE CONTINUE TO DO WHILE OUR SO-CALLED RULERS CONTINUE TO ABUSE THEIR POWER AND OUR RIGHTS. UNFORTUNATELY, SUCH IS THE NORM IN NIGERIA. WE CONTINUE TO SETTLES OUR SCORES WITH EACH OTHER WE HAVE RIDICULOUSLY FAILED TO FIGHT THE POWER. THIS GIVES RISE TO MORE COVERT ABUSE OF POWER BY OUR LEADERS.

IT'S TIME WE SETTLED OUR CIVIL DIFFERENCES. WE NEED POLITICAL AWARENESS IN NIGERIA!

Olodostein:

Let me tell you the bitter truth. The average Northern shoe shiner who is a stark illiterate is more socially and politically aware than a university graduate from the South.

The worst thing about the North is that they are inbred religious fanatics. That, I am afraid is hard to reason with.

aare07: The only solution to Boko Haram insurgency, is for the president to drop his second term agenda. He should the hausa to rule.

Olodostein:

Maybe we can start by sharing Machiavelli's The Prince to every Nigerian for intensive study. That way they will have a fundamental understanding of how deceptive, crooked and desperate politicians can be in holding on to power.

But come to think of it, the average Nigerian is carried away by senseless music sold to them, and obsessed with making quick fiat money to impress. Don't you think politicians intentionally creates these meaningless artist's to distract the populace from what is happening underground? It works in America. Why not Nigeria? Haha

I am all for entertainment. But the garbage being put out there is becoming irritating and causing distraction for our youths who are supposed to be on the front line of issues as did the North Africans.

Idris was sidelined because he was outspoken and apathetic to the state of affairs in Nigeria. We need more artist like him.

A populace lacking in political and social awareness is doomed for an impending doom. We can all see it unfolding before our eyes.

cold: ^^What is it with the red fonts & what exactly are you saying or trying to say?

ogugua88:

"We will catch the perpetrators and bring them to book".

IYA NGBALI: he wants to tell us that the first lady is pregnant

Fhemmmy: Tomorrow is almost here . . so why worry?

MACHIAVELLI - THE PRINCE. VERY GOOD REFERENCE!

supremebeing09:

MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK THE FOUNDER OF NAIRALAND TO DISABLE THE COLOUR 'RED' (DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FONTS - I'M SURE YOU MEANT 'COLOUR'red colour?!)

BUT YES, IT DOES SUIT ME PERSONALLY (FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR COMPLAINT, I DECIDED TO REPLY IN BLACK!)

All I'm saying is, we can't let the issue of boko haram become one SINGLE national agenda. Never mind unemployment and the rest of it. The issue of boko haram will inevitably hamper the economic growth and development of a rapidly-growing country. The issue of growth and development is another agenda.

Boko haram and its activities will continue to stifle the socio-political stability of the nation. This obviously affects growth and development. You need to know that there are different responsibilities of government and the governance of a state (nation). Unfortunately, considering our backwardness (shame we have not blown up like Japan or other Asian countries), we cannot seem to address the boko haram issue. Obviously, boko haram continues to work against the state. In this case, the citizens are in the middle of the whole saga. It's only a shame that the citizens are continuously sacrificed by boko haram as a means of communicating with its enemy - the government. Unfortunately, the government cannot use its citizens against such enemy. Therefore, it is an obligation for the government to protect its citizens against such attacks. But the government is not doing so at the moment. Unfortunately, the ball is in boko haram's court. AND WILL BE FOR A LONG TIME. LET'S NOT FORGET CIVIL WARS THAT HAVE LASTED FOR DECADES!!! SLOWLY... SLOWLY...

Secondly, if the government is deemed incompetent at defending its citizens (as is the case),the citizens are in their own rights to defend themselves. But we need not defend ourselves against boko haram - trust me, we'll be blown to smithereens We need to hold the government accountable for its actions against its citizens. It's a shame we cannot seem to do that. We've become a nation of uncertainties that surviving from day-to-day seems to be a miracle. The North is going to shreds. There is no knowing what every second brings for every individual in the North. The Kano bombing highlights such example. And it will not stop. Like I said, THE SAGA CONTINUES.

The president (God knows what's going on in his head day and night) should, in the interest of the nation, strengthen the security of the country. What good is a country if the security is flawed? Economic growth and development, social and ethical developments, sustainability and society at large continue to be stifled if a fortress is ill-secured. There is, most importantly - I mentioned in my earlier post-, a need to improve intelligence and security in the nation. This should be on a nation-wide scale but with more emphasis on the North. Such implementations would enable the state and its security apprehend the scale of the the nation's insecurity. Rather, everything is done helter-skelter and on a hope-and-pray basis.

Due to the unfortunate effects of power and politicking, the government is more focused on the internal effects of such issues rather than the external effects of the social, political implications of such issues on the citizens. Thus, we have a lot to do on the list. The layer(s) of government in Nigeria will continue to constrain certain benefits of economic growth and development. As I write, the boko haram bombing just came up on BBC news (not very soothing with the breaking news' nerve-wrecking music!). How many more of such news should we expect? Doesn't paint a nice picture of a developing country. WE ARE MORE THAN DEVELOPING. WE ARE CAPABLE. CAPABLE OF DEVELOPING TO A GREAT EXTENT!

I am no expert at political agendas but I like to contribute to issues surrounding my beloved nation. If I didn't give a s***, I'd be on a very much more random website than NairaLand. Obviously, your opinions are always appreciated.

bilaya:

God punish you.Hausa bastard.The only solution to boko haram is to divide this country so u and your homosexual brothers can go and kill yourselves.Backward set of paedophiles

Havilah93: as usual, he wants to tell us that we should not worry, that he's on top of things
