Silly Nigerians. Majority don't know the source of their problems thinking a particular person can solved it

I can only laugh when I read pple comments, we are so docile in this part of the world and so osinbajo that served as VP under buhari led administration and the country remains a catastrophic disaster for over 7 years now is the one this one are chanting for, wait did you know camara, the VP to the US presidents, go and read about ha antecedent before becoming the US VP.

It is not about who becomes the next Nigerian president it is about the structure, tell Nigeria citizens not to expect a miracle come 2023, I bet it nothing new will emerge from osinbajo, it is all a show of drama and charade

temitoppee:
I want to experience good leadership in Nigeria and see Nigeria move forward, that's why I came out to support the Higher Nigeria Movement for PROF YEMI Osinbajo

And you don't reckon that this SW has used its opportunity when Obasanjo governed Nigeria twice- once as military dictator, 2nd as civilian president.
Another SW man took over from Babangida but wasn't courageous enough to checkmate late Sani Abacha who quickly ousted him.
Osinbajo again has been VP from the SW for 8 donkey years.

Do you think that the largest, or the 2nd single largest ethnic group, the Igbo, in Nigeria, are lookers like Lucozade in one Nigeria?

It's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari, if you wish Nigeria well.

Shikena:

If you want to contest the Presidency let us know, though we all already know the outcome of that because you can't even win any election inside your own bedroom

how were u able to arrive at your 80%?

Shikena:

What makes you think you are not supporting Tinubu? How did you arrive at that conclusion? and if you support Tinubu, what's the crime in that?

if u say Tinubu is corrupt, how is osinbajo better than him?

People will queue to still vote this APC that's responsible for their hardship?

Support your choice and leave people alone with their choice.

bros, u didnt answer my questions:

are u saying that the VP didnt contribute to any decision making process since 2015 because u say that the VP slot is ceremonial? i thought that the president put him in charge of the economy? did the VP not support and work towards the attainment of the plans and programmes of this government albeit that those plans and programmes havent benefitted the people of nigeria?

I thought me saying the final decision falls on the office of the president answered your question? The president has the power to overide economic policy or decision from VP,so the president has the final say..

Osibanjo is the man of the people and we are supporting him to become the president of this country come 2023 In Jesus name amen

NnamdiN:

They will and they will also queue behind the PDP that was in charge of Nigeria for 16 good years. That's politics. We failed to build an alternative. You simply can't do that less than 1 year to a general election, you need real structure in place across all the designated electoral wards

Help2020:

I thought me saying the final decision falls on the office of the president answered your question? The president has the power to overide economic policy or decision from VP,so the president has the final say..

my questions are simple and straighforward and if u are interested in the truth then u should at least answer them:

1. are u saying that the VP didnt contribute to any decision making process since 2015 because u say that the VP slot is ceremonial?

2. i thought that the president put him in charge of the economy?

3. did the VP not support and work towards the attainment of the plans and programmes of this government albeit that those plans and programmes havent benefitted the people of nigeria?

4. even if the president has the right to override the economic policy or decision of the VP, what did the VP swear to uphold?

Wow!!!
This is the first time I'm seeing almost everyone on Nairaland singing the same song.
It shows my father Osinbajo is really loved. I trust God in him to help us chart the course of this dear country to a safe Haven.
Buhari has done his best, he can consolidate on his achievements and correct his mistakes

It is not about who becomes the next president of Nigeria, it is about the structure that we are currently running, if you like bring 11 osinbajo s. Don't expect a miracle but why, are we so docile here. Somebody that sat as VP for over 7years with is principal, yet the country is failing woefully and will continue failing.

Who knows camara the VP of the United States, go and read about ha antecedent before becoming VP. Osinbajo and buhari are like minds, they are both monumental failures and it is an agenda by them and their sister's in politics to keep the Nigerian masses poor.

Look, nation building is not a rocket science. If the foundation be destroy what can the righteous do, bring anything new into this current structure it will fail standardly and will continue to fail if we don't re structure the country on before 2023.

There is no country that as ever prospered either without a great leader or a popular revolt.

lexy2014:


how is he the man of the people?

You and I know that most of these trader money and good people oriented programs of the government are all a brain child of Osibanjo. He is not the president but he was able to do the little he can, you can see the love from the people.

Stop spamming the thread. Is anyone stopping you from identifying and supporting any possible candidate of your choice? Why are some people so full of themselves like this? Is the presidency of a country a position among the saints or angels in heaven? Pick your own choice, support him or her and let others be. We are Nigerians and we don't have any saint waiting somewhere among us. Shikena!

uzoramadi:
osibanjo for 2023, no more bad leadership in this country we are going up with Higher Nigerian Movement

I like Osinbajo, but If actually you'll agree with me that buhari has failed as a leader, then the bitter truth is that any politician that has affiliation with buhari can not move this country forward. This is why I can't vote people like Tinubu and Osinbajo.

You should understand beta I meant to type Kamala Harris.

Enough of politics of recklessness in Nigeria
By Stephen Kekeghe

It is disgraceful that nations across the globe only conceive governance in Nigeria as a perfect model of a despicable political system; as a prototype of what not to be! Humans, the world over, think of Nigerians with so much pity— a hapless people in a very rich nation subjected to self-destruction; a country dominated by desperate and irresponsible rulers, who have only rascality, megalomania and misappropriation to offer to over 200 million vulnerable, cowardly, sycophantic but expectant people. While the Nigerian political rulers manifest rapacity and inanities of different degrees, the masses maintain their position of hollowness, either as ill fated people dying and smiling, or as hypocrites who sing-praise their tormentors to fame, in expectation of crumbs that may fall from the table of affluence for their pick. How can a leader successfully dehumanize the same people s/he swore to serve and protect, without any organized reaction of resentment from the oppressed? Nigeria, indeed, is a traumatized country.

No government anywhere in the world can successfully coerce her citizenry into total submission to despotic rules without the complicity of the youth body. Sadly, in the Nigerian political landscape, the vitality of the youths, whom President Buhari stereotyped as ‘lazy’, is only utilized in thuggish activities by the avaricious political godfathers. To these plutocrats, who recycle themselves within the political space, young Nigerians, except their children, are not fit for any leadership position. The most visible political engagement left for the youth is hooliganism and social media praise-hood. Since we have failed to recognize that the politician is elected to serve the people, not to lord it over them, the masses will continually lie under the trodden feet of their rulers, most of whom are low heads in high places!
One gets very enraged thinking of how President Buhari’s government resents the same democratic principles that prepared the way for his emergence as a president of Africa’s most populous country in the 21st century. How this government animalizes decent, harmless protesters and exalts terrorists and bandits is what one finds very difficult to comprehend. Is it not distressing that herdsmen that slaughter our people and rape our women needed grazing reserve to stop killing? Is it not disturbing that the Boko Haram sects, after maiming thousands of innocent Nigerians, are to enjoy prestigious scholarship abroad under government’s expenses? These same people that have brought eternal anguish to families and the Nigerian psychosocial space are pampered by a government that dehumanizes decent and civil citizens.

This is happening in a country where there is no definite plan for her educated youths, who have been coerced not to ask questions about their pathetic conditions. The dehumanization of unarmed protesters under the umbrellas of Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB and Omoyele Sowore’s RevolutionNow are some distressing episodes in a government of grief and groans, which cows every Nigerian, for a thriving perpetration of its depravities. The Nigerian masses are highly vulnerable— they are oppressed and brutalized by the politicians, Boko Haram sects, herdsmen, police, army, armed robbers and kidnappers. The Nigerian masses are literally on their own!

Political practice in Nigeria is distasteful; there is no decency and modesty— perhaps, one has to be significantly insane or mentally wrecked to fit into the big business of politicking. Nigerian democracy is simply a demonstration of crazy power seekers. When Plato declared that the ‘politician is goaded on to madness’ he might have perceived the psychotic manifestations in Nigerian politics, not the universal neurotic episodes that are triggered by ambition and obsession with power. We are in a country where we are entertained by the absurdist political theatre of Dino Melaye (a messianic misfit), the outlandish conducts of Rochas Okorocha (the lover of statues), who scored great marks on farcical theatrics by appointing his sister, Ogechi Ololo as Commissioner for Happiness and Couples’ Fulfillment. It is in this country that the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, appointed a Special Assistant on Unmarried Women Affairs. In all of these, there are young people with the vitality of rhetoric and physical strength to applaud them. This is the pathetic relationship between most Nigerian leaders and their followers, the blind leading people with active sight into a dungeon.

In Nigeria, the commitment of the average politician is only witnessed in electioneering seasons. During pre-election campaigns, politicians manifest a strange vigor, dedication and humility. They would visit every single community in their constituency, hug the paupers, eat with the lame, shake hands with lepers etc. After the elections, siren and silence greet every promise made during campaigns and rallies. These are the chameleonic dispositions that define political practice in Nigeria. This is not about All Promises Cancelled (APC) or People Deceiving People (PDP); it is about a group of people with a common vision to magu and pondei our collective fortunes. When you have moralists like Buhari, whose jobless son, Yusuf, could drive a multimillion power-bike ($157, 000; approximately N56 million) in a country where hardworking youths are regarded as lazy; Magu, who chased thieves to mend his pale pocket, Professor Pondei, who believed that the overall essence of leadership is to leaders, not the led, then, we have nothing else to say: the country is doomed and in urgent need of redemption!
Are you not repulsed that Godwin Obaseki is now in PDP and Osagie Ize-Iyamu is now in APC? This attests to the fact that in Nigeria, political parties have no ideologies; they are social descents for people who scheme to enrich themselves desperately. Adams Oshiomole is currently struggling to altar insults and praises; social media boys are battling to adjust to their masters’ madness as violence is unleashed on Edo State. Do you have to be irredeemably mad to gain political power and its privileges? Schools are on lockdown to contain a virus but politicians are ‘buying’ crowds in Edo State to demonstrate their ridiculous political egos. Are these people normal at all? Sadly, Nigerian jobless youths are busy in the social media landscape analyzing the potency of campaign crowds, of APC versus PDP.

The Nigerian masses are taken for a ride. This is why President Buhari would boldly announce to Nigerians that he was going to the Republic of Mali to help resolve their political crises. He forgot about his wilting country. What could be more reckless than leaders unpretentiously looting the resources of a country? What justification has the FG that it expended ₦523.3 million on school feeding program during the lockdown against the coronavirus? The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development (MHADMSD), Sadiya Farouq, announced this condescendingly at the Presidential Taskforce on Monday 3 August in Abuja. How many household did they get to with their take home ration? Is this not insanity?

It is this normalization of looting that would make NDDC moralists under IMC misappropriate ₦4.9 billion within three months and they had all the vocal energy to justify it. Believing that they were dealing with gullible people, the Acting Managing Director, Professor Pondei, resorted to mock-fainting. Social Media boys and girls were kept busy for that moment and then, there was silence!
there was silence!


How can a country with such reckless rulers make any significant progress? Nigeria is among the tenth countries with the world’s largest oil reserves but it cannot boost of a significant productive refinery. We continue to export crude and import fuel at exorbitant prices. If there is no enough money to meet up with their extravagant lifestyle, our politicians borrow and share among themselves. This is how they will literally sell the country to China. Though among the tenth producer of crude in the world, Nigeria is nowhere in the refining of crude. The twenty five largest refineries in the world are from Asia, North America, South America, Europe and Middle East. Thanks to Aliko Dangote, who is currently building one in Lagos. In Nigeria, as at 1953, oil was already discovered in Akata, near Eket and later in Oloibiri in 1956, which became operational in commercial quantity in 1958. From 1956 to 1966 oil and gas was discovered in different parts of Nigeria in commercial quantity. Do you know what? Oil was first discovered in Dubai in 1966 and became operational in 1969. Today, United Arab Emirate is the pride of the world while Nigeria is a laughing stock of the world! Universities are on lockdown because of a pandemic but the global space is shifting to digital strategies; not a single effort to encourage digitalization of the Nigerian educational system. Those who decide for Nigeria must be haters of education and lovers of trivialities. Political appointment is an empowerment, not a commitment to serve. This is why Nigeria wrinkles like their greying minds and limbs. This is the pathetic reality.

The unruliness in the Nigerian politics has influenced every facet of the country. This is why violence and unhealthy rascality is witnessed in elections conducted by associations of medical doctors, lawyers, creative writers, farmers, transporters, teachers, students etc. It is a wind of depravity that has overwhelmed every part of the nation. This is because Nigerian leaders privilege hooliganism and terrorism in place of decency and modesty. It is a dismal situation. Tufie!

We want a Referendum now!
Not Election, cum selection.
