Why are there so many idiots commenting in the politics section.?

Reference to the comments on appointment of Daura as the DGSSS.

I guess there are too many children there who don't understand the importance of the head of the intelligence community to the C-in-C

naijababe:


I have given up on the politics section. I go there to pass time and wind a certain nucca up

bellong:


If the comments were only ethnic/religious bias, I probably can let it pass but they are full of ignorance. People talking authoritatively on something they know nothing about.

Ita, former DGSSS should have been sacked 2years ago. The guy nearly destroyed professionalism in the service because of his unbridled desire to retain his seat.

naijababe:


Why else do you think I said I gave up? Someone wrote ' a concise assessment of Buhari's first 12 days in office' and made a whole lot of inference from that assessment and people took him seriously . I was like whadafuq?

Like you, I can handle the ethnic bias and political partisanship but mehn the ignorance is mind numbing and sometimes it scares me to be honest.

Most of them are ignorant of governance, they don't read and are poor students of history....

If these set of Nigerians are the leaders in waiting or tomorrow, it is better Pa Buhari's age mates continue to rule the country. The nation will be worse under these children than the state it is.

Actually, it is the ethnicism and tribal partisanship that has led to willful ignorance and abuse of logic. You think they'd say all they do if Jonathan was still in power? And Seun is not helping matters with the quality of threads given high attention by pasting on frontpage.

An0nimus:

personally, I believe the problem transcends who is in power.

Told you I was scared, didn't i?

Kimoni:


Biko, don't give up on us

bellong:


I agree. But it is troubling for the future of this country...

I wonder what the mods are thinking for pushing uneducative junks to the front page. Someone sitting down in his house writing illogical analysis with braggado and feeling funky....

Is the original moniker banned? You don go forment trouble..


It is pathetic considering the quality of literates we churn out in the universities with no depth of intelligence and logical analysis.

Timbuktou:


Na click-bait na. Seun wants to maximise profit. And the speed with which these things hit front page is astonishing

Well, not trouble, just mischief

When I was graduating, I took mental stock of my colleagues in my department and thought how we'd all go job-hunting, and I considered how many I would/could employ if I had the means, my answer was "not much".

teambuck2u:


Of course, it does, however, the emergence of Jonathan saw a downward spiral in the quality of political debates on nairaland. All you need do is go through pre-2008 politics section threads. Sure, there was angst and dirty fights but there was some intelligence to disagrrements. Now, all we've got there are pro-East/anti-East factions.

Why do you worry about little children of 100 level political science trying to gain online reputation?

Its what it is....a section for little children with little minds.

Don't take their comments to heart.

Njokusboy - A few of my thoughts on some of the things you highlighted -

We say Buhari has started slow, maybe you are right if you compare him to previous administrations who come in, show some braggado in their first few weeks and list out several white elephants projects they have commenced. And that's as far as it goes. We know the rest of the story. Consequently, I have never been a fan of this initial gra gra by any administration because if you really want to make a lasting change in a country as big and diverse as ours, with systemic rots that transcends multiple administrations, then I don't expect any miracle in the first 100 days. How So when you say he is slow, that is relative and it will only be to people who are comparing him with previous administrations which is fair enough if you like initial gra gra. But for people like me who have never fancied the 100-day show off, we are still watching, no score yet.

However, one area which has worn out my long-lasting patience is the issue of BH. And why is this? Till date, lives are still being lost and families are still being torn apart. Unfortunately, that's a No No for me. These people are humans like you and I with flesh and blood. If people are going to enjoy the dividends of voting Buhari, they need to be alive to do so, they won't be recalled back from the grave when things get better. I would say this is the major reason why a lot of people especially moi wanted Jonathan out and couldn't wait for him to go so that the continual wastage of lives would stop immediately. Unfortunately, this has not happened and it makes me sad more than anything else. Every human deserves a right to live, and the government of the day owes them that - to protect us all from any invasion, external or internal.

The issue of a helipad thus become a non-issue for me especially when I read up how much it truly cost(without the usual inflation) and the reasons behind it. I understand it doesn't cost much, cuz really, this is not some fine architectural masterpiece we are talking about here. And then the motives behind it which I totally understand and agree with. I used to work on the Island some years back and I know what it is when Jonathan or Pepe comes to Lagos, especially madam Pepe. It was a living hell. They didn't even have to come to ur environment before you felt their impact. At 12 midnight, we would all still be trapped in the offices cuz the traffic build-up was yet to clear, the alternative was to summon up courage and get in the traffic, and a journey of 15 mins would take up to 4 to 5 hrs. No exaggerations here. And remember that the longer you stay in traffic, the higher the chances of 'the owners' coming to visit you. I want to believe what is experienced in Lagos is what other states would face each time a president or his vice comes visiting, maybe on a smaller scale though. I read how Ogun State came to a stand still when Osinbanjo visited a few weeks ago. Now sum up all the man-hours wasted, the risk, the mental and physical effects and so on for thousands/millions of people who will constantly be affected by his movements to Daura or wherever and see which is more cost efficient.

@Tearoses.

Guess the nutritionist has answered you.

You don't like the "gbogbo nise" that I have...

tearoses:

LOL
My second excuse is that I cant get all the ingredients

An0nimus:


lol I can relate cos my first account was pre '08. But then there was less internet penetration, no cheap supersmart phones, and ofcourse, lesser trolls and laptop crews . Nowadays witnessing an NL tribal war alone could give someone a headache or even bad dreams.

I can't fault Seuns model with FP threads. The pepper is very important

tearoses:


Do you know I was rubbing my laptop screen to get rid of the dot. I thought it was a speck
I said to myself not in 1000 years can TV write Yoruba.
I still think its a speck of dust on my screen. I need to get my screen wipes

Finally Finally Finally someone who understands what Im talking about
If you see the look oga gave me this morning when I said omelette and Porridge dont go

I lost 6 pounds in 5 days on Egg and bacon & tomato breakfasts, chicken/beef/prawn/fish/salad lunch and barbeque chicken and salad/veg dinners - No rice and no bread

Thanks for the owambe tip . . .Ive been wondering about that

5 days of water/sparkling water only. . . No coffee, no tea, no juice, no fizzy drinks . . . . The No coffee was the hardest, especially being a costa and douwe egberts fan

If you do have some spare time, do you mind writing me a few days menu . . .for a consultancy fee?

Do you also mind if I ask you more questions on this topic.

Thanks TV
