GOD bless him that is a true leader.

Well done, I even commend him for enrolling his kids in a public school. We should all follow this example and make our country great.

How many pple for nairaland or nigeria get brain bros? Thanking politicians for not stealing your moni! That sucks!!!! I'm not sure I can vote in this generation!

greatgod2012: This is exactly what we call "leading by example". Not "do as i say and dont do as i do" people.
He'll surely get his reward, with an extension to his children. Amen

Jenams: hello! Wat is dis praise singin all abt? Did he use his personal money to buy d sandals for all d kids or state govt money? To me, he is doin dat to secure his wards for security purpose. He was nt elected to buy shoes but to develop edu infrasture and provide other social amenities.

did u read the article or u just can't comprehend it? when did it become the responsibility of a lawmaker to provide social amenities or infrastructure? the man deserves to be encouraged. only if our legislooters will send their children to public schools they would have known that ASUU is on strike for 4 months now

dridowu: Can ds ever happen in my con3 ? I guess NO. Most of our public office holders will reject it outrightly

She that is talking, can she send her kids to a public scholl. Abeg, ake she park well abeg

Impressive... I read about this last week, Good man.

I totally agree with you without demur.

simpleseyi:

There is a reward for everything we all do. This man shall be rewarded by God here on earth and after death. IBB has gotten part of his own reward because Maryam who stole with him and who did not advise him against looting the treasury has been taken away by death. Augustus Aikhiomu who also stole with IBB has been taken away by prostrate cancer. Jonathan lost his half brother, Dame Sheppopotamus lost her adopted mother to the road her husband refused to fix. All those that turned our youths to kidnappers, yahoo-yahoo and armed robbers shall be rewarded. Abdulsalami and Akhigbe shared all oil blocks among themselves, Obasanjo had to cancel the allocation and re-allocated to himself (Obasanjo) and his co-looters. Obasanjo and Abdulsalami just bought Ikeja and Lagos distribution zones of PHCN using our stolen wealth, how much is the total of their life savings as military officers and ex-presidents that can now afford to buy PHCN? All those that are sucking the masses blood through looting of the common wealth shall be rewarded. Sanni Abacha, Wada Nas, Stella Obasanjo,
Segun Agagu, Sola Saraki, Fashola's father, Yisa Yuguda's sister, Patrick Azazi Owoye and others are gone, we are expecting other looters including Tinubu, IBB, Abdulsalami, Obasanjo, TY Danjuma, Jerimiah Oseni, Gbenga Daniel, Alao-Akala, DSP Alams, Joshua Dariye, Sani Yerima, the C-in-C (I no mention name oo), Theodora Orji, Segun Oni, Abubakar Audu, Stella Oduah and others to DO THE NEEDFUL by adding RIP to their names as God commands.


THIS LAWMAKER IS BLESSED HERE ON EARTH AND AFTER DEATH. I AM HAPPY FOR HIM. WHILE SOME RULERS ARE RECEIVING CURSES, HE IS RECEIVING PRAYERS.

Could I ask that every month, theses law makers both those in state and federal have a trust pull where some money be deposited for purchasing items to improve the children around them.

Particularly public schools. You should see the state of some of these schools and the plight of their pupils.

I believe a cause like this would force government to actually do its job.

there are so many unknown great leaders in this country, this 1 is of them. all human beings are equal, only d greedy ones try 2 differ.

Though I'm an ex-Christian, but I don't want to believe God rewards evil with deaths, people die when it is their time to die e.g da'grin, goldie, dana air crash victims etc.

who asked you about your religion?? You just wanna bring religious BASHING..................................smh

It remains incontestable, incontrovertible, indisputable, undeniable, irrefutable, unassailable, beyond dispute, unquestionable, beyond question, indubitable that APC (though filled with its own shortcomings too) still parades averagely better public officers than any other political party at every level of governance.

Be blessed by what ever you believe in............................................one of the Best Topics I have seen this year

I was moved and shed tears. May God bless him

Jenams: hello! Wat is dis praise singin all abt? Did he use his personal money to buy d sandals for all d kids or state govt money? To me, he is doin dat to secure his wards for security purpose. He was nt elected to buy shoes but to develop edu infrasture and provide other social amenities.

And how many politicians in nigeria will do what he did?

All na wash. The guy dey take style campaign

I'm currently reading the book - UNFINISHED GREATNESS, a biography of Awolowo and how he withdrew his children into public schools at the start of the UPE in the 50s. His words, if it is good enough for them, it must be good enough for the government officials; Its the only way our world can be a better place.

if all our politician can send dia child to our public school, use our Public hospital, travel on our public roads, nigeria will b a better place because dia family will b able to explain to the politician what they pass through daily, and not someone else in dia cabinet that will b lying to them

thisisayus: U are a f00l! Organise a party to celebrate him for spending your moni on u! Mumu wif f9cking naija mentality! I hate daft pple in my life!!!

You are the biggest mumu and phool! Can you start mentioning the politicians that send their children to public schools, a school that children doesn't wear sandals to class?

akraym: All na wash. The guy dey take style campaign

Remove your kids to a public school to feel the pains of the kids that attend such schools then. Too bad, you are only a kid yourself and have absolutely no sense of history to know we had had better days in this very country in the past. I only hope and pray things get back in shape. It would be disastrous for the future generation if Babangida's or Obasanjo's "regime" is the best of good time they ever witnessed all their lives.

God bless that daughter of his.

..For those who believe he used stolen fund.I say its possible. but he used it for his owñ ppl that's the difference. When our leaders send der kids to public schools the will provide better facilities Allowing d children of TalaKawas to have a shot. in lyf ..
.

Contract inflation and corruption have really affected this country. Did you notice where the man said that when they told him the there are 800 students, he thought he won't be able to afford it. But when they told him it is only 230 thousand naira, he felt relieved and even decided to do it in other schools.
Thus a sandal must have gone for about ~290 naira which is around the price it sells for in the market. Thanks to the principal who didn't inflate the price, and to other Nigerians who wants the best for this country.

I pray other politicians can replicate the action of enrolling their children in public schools, and further pay attention to the development of such schools.

Education is the key to national development and like Victor Hugo said "he that opens the doors of a school closes a prison."

make the PIKIN go the school complete o..............make them no use this one as Publicity Stunt o.....................2015 don dey come

Jenams: hello! Wat is dis praise singin all abt? Did he use his personal money to buy d sandals for all d kids or state govt money? To me, he is doin dat to secure his wards for security purpose. He was nt elected to buy shoes but to develop edu infrasture and provide other social amenities.

whether he used his money or govt money to buy the sandals,we are less concernd.what we are saying is that let other leaders emulate this man afterall some of them embezzled billionaires of naira without doing anything for the masses.For him to take his children to public sch,he needs to be applauded.

thisisayus: Wif pple like u, nigeria is not going anywhere in centuries to come. MUST WE CELEBRATE POLITICIANS FOR PEANUT? Arghhh!!!

Bros calm down. i understand your frustration but the point ur fellow nigerians are making is that many politicians today are still looting our treasury and not even giving anything back to the masses that put them there so what this lawmaker did is still very much worthy of commendation and emulation. Just imagine of all our lawmakers follow thios same path, dnt you think our education sector will be revamp. You dnt need to insult pple here just listen to be able to grab the other man's point. Peace bro
