As much as we are more sad... I don't want us to turn this to tribal fight bcoz it is obvious on Twitter that this thing is turning to;

Igbo revenge on yoruba oba, which we hope it is not true.. Yes, we hope it is not true..

Garba spewing rubbish in Hausa which I presume as an hate speech....


Meanwhile, any attack on tinubu should cease..... Yes, he is guilty but u can't tell us that the likes of Orji Kalu, Atiku, Abacha, Ibori, Alamiesigha, Danjuma, Odili, Igbinedion Kwankwaso, Saraki, Audu, peter obi dt shielded Nwafor and co are innocent... They are all guilty, I repeat all of politicians except of a handful of them are innocent..

Let's not turn this to tribal fight..

All attack on tinubu should stop
No more further attack on any king and if there is any, I advise Igbos should not mention anything about it.

I repeat, Igbos should not say anything about this... Don't endanger the lives of ur tribesmen here in South west.. The North is already turning this to Igbo yoruba fight..

WE CAN'T ALLOW ANY TRIBAL FIGHT NOW SO THAT THE AIM OF OUR PROTEST WUNT BE DEFEATED

It is unfortunate that the crisis in the SW is being propagated with tribal sentiment. What about the crisis in Edo and the SE are they also tribal? Our people should think and don't allow anybody create all sort of conspiracy in other to achieve sinister motives. The various attacks are just unfortunate, but is just a product several year of mismanagement of people's trust. No single politician is a saint, they are all guilty for mismanagement of our goodwill.

If you’re waiting for that vegetable to talk you will wait tire

He is a waste of 8 years in Nigeria history, I always said it the only 2 things he came to do is to make sure :

80% of Resources control go back to the northerners which he succeeded in doing

And to enjoy all privileges attached to the president office to treat his terminal illness

Before he became president, you hardly read that buhari travel out to treat his ears, he was never in limelight. But when he became a president, he suddenly have a doctor in the Uk.

He is such a total waste.

You said it exactly as my thoughts.
The man will just wasted 8 yrs of our time. With the average life expectancy of Nigerians at 50s, when will present day Nigerians ever enjoy this country?
Some people just packaged the man and sold him to Nigerians. And most people never did background checks and interogated his past years to see who he is and what he has contributed towards nation building. Read all his interviews and comment while in Daura, the man has always been autocratic and an ethnic and religious bigot.
I have always maintained that fighting corruption is not by brute force and circumvention of the law but by living above all forms of corruption. Is nepotism not corruption which will also bread higher corruption? The man is just catching groove with the aura and benefits of the presidency in a skewed country like Nigeria.

We know he lacks the capacity to interact or entertainment one on one questions from Nigerians, atleast let him read to us his prepared speech. The only president I have ever seen who is so clueless in interviews and absolutely lost without written speech. Lacks emotional intelligence. He could have been brilliant in the military but not as a president of Nigeria. What can he say now? Will he bring back lives that were lost or properties destroyed. The president is the type of person who will copy from an intelligent person in an exam and still fail.

Lush100:
Let me just caution.
Youth think
Think and think again.
You all have been played into fighting the wrong person.
Yes Tinubu is a politician but the problem right now is govt.
There is an agenda to take Nigeria over using the north. Buhari might even be out of "sight"
Go and look at all the the appointment in all the ministries and parastatals.
All are notherners about 98% are northerners.
All the properties burnt are supposedly owned by Tinubu and u are here shouting against Tinubu. Will Tinubu burn his own properties?
How come all media publication, houses , hotels, tollgate supposedly owned by Tinubu were torched but dangote refinery was left.
How come Tinubu is in the same ruling party but also in the opposition.
See Tinubu is the only check and balance against the powers of govt against the Southwest whether pdp or apc or whatever. I don't like him but
You need money to fight battles and if Tinubu is gone they will run Southwest over like they have run other eastern states of which Wike is the only opposition trying to curb it.
Youth think.
Fight against the northinization agenda and for a new Nigeria and when we are through we would visit Tinubu and other politician matter.

My 2kobo

But he justified use of brute force by Buhari on peaceful protesters. That is where he lost whatever respect he has as a leader. Atleast he should have been on the side of people rather trying to be twist issues. Sometimes I think he is over hyped, he has no qualities close to the Awolowos, ziks and Bellos of this world. Check the speech of those leaders and you can see lots of leadership direction but with this present business men in rulership , they are neither here nor there. Ask them questions without prepared speech, they goof so badly.

ogaontop:
I feel this guy will make a better President than Buhari or Tinubu, remains to see if they will give him the ticket!!


But He could have helped preventing the Lekki massacre if he does his job well, without fear or favour as he swore in the oath of office!

You are correct, I can't really phantom what he is doing with Buhari government. He has better charisma and intelligence to lead this country, always ready to discuss issues, unfortunately the constitution makes him powerles or better still a spare tyre. The biggest problem we have is the legislators, who cannot impeach a president who has constantly raped the constitution in a democratic system and divided the people ever than before. The mention of impeachment or resignation of the President is even a taboo with this set of rubber stamp leadership in the legislature. If he wishes to stick with Buhari, I wish him well, hope he knows what he is doing.

360degreess:
.. This is bad.
But on the other way round, I pity lagosians that are allowing themselves to be used by one "particular people" to destroy their own state. They will regret their actions after the crisis. We all know the intentions of those "particular people" towards this country for long. They are on social media always creating tension and fake news so as to achieve their evil agender. Two wrongs can't make a right.

Are you still in this business? Please park for one side, tribal bigot. I guess it's the same "particular people" that has asked your god, the President to mismanaged the whole situation. A president that will never speak when the country need him to. Nigeria must be built on equity and justice whether you and your cohort like it or not

Politicians are evil. I can't imagine that this could come from a public figure. These are the set of people who have made sure that the eastern state continued to had bad leadership. This 2 guys had contributed as private individuals more than what she and the useles governors have and will contribute to Enugu/eastern nigeria in thier entire life. This shameless woman failed to understand that Enugu, historically was the seat of government in the old Eastern Nigeria and also remains relevant till date. If the governor is sensible, would have authorised such a bad advert to Enugu state to be removed.

And we don't trust you too. After 8yrs how did you leave Abia and to whom did you hand the state to. You are part of the problem in the east, man without principles. If not for the corrupt system, you should be in jail.

Like father, like son. Always talking before thinking. Lack of emotional intelligence. The southern youths have become wiser and also know what they want in life. The country either embrace proper restructuring or the various nationals will have to choose who to live with in one united country.

The supreme court should hasten with this case. Above all Nigeria should have layers of policing. Over centralisation of all government services is recipe for abuse of laws.

datola:
I don't think we need to rely on Buhari to champion the restructuring . Assembly members should do the needful.

Decentralisation of police should be part of this initiative.

You are on point, let put pressure on our reps, they are suppose to be the people's voice. The powers of the FG should be unboundle to allow for efficiency. Nigeria need only one parliament. Most of the national issues we have right now is due to excessive power of the central government.

talithakum:
Thank you Archbishop Alfred Adewale Martins for standing for justice and fairness, at this time when many pastors have remained silent to the cries of the youth.

Hopefully the FG would be sensible enough to take your advice.

Not only the FG but the political class as a whole and most especially the ruling party. The Catholic church strongly believe in justice and equity, the progress and well being of humanity. The church has spoken severely on national issues, through such voices as Fr. Kukah, Onaiyekan. Okogie etc. True MOG should speak up to the ruling class to change things for the better. Now is the time.

selemempe:
the thing most foolish people do is underestimate a movement by people who have had enough. Ghadaffi did it, Omar Al Bashir did it, Saddam Hussein did it. They all paid for it. That is on the dictator side
On the country side
Ethiopia did it, Sudan did it, USSR, Yugoslavia, Somalia, and Cyprus all did it and paid for it

Politicians are poor student of history. The foolish ones in effort for self preservation end up destroying their country by creating divisions amongst thier people untill it gathers momentun for crisis. Today in the south, no one is talking about tribe, religion or even partisan politics. We all demanding for common good. If we want a united progressive Nigeria we must all fight for it.

All the esatern governors are dumb. They are clueless in crisis management and lack any idea in human capital development and management. With the abundant of talents and hardworking peope of the east spread across the world, they have not been able to harness such qualities to the benefit of the region. I have always wondered what they discuss in the governors forum.
Every crisis in the east is an upshoot of mismanagement of people's agitation. The youths have woken up from slumber to demand for a better future and no useless governor will stop the movement.

The conspiracy of silence by the polical class on the illegal activities of SARS operatives is so alarming. To worsen the matters, these vampires get higher political appointments like the wicked James Nwafor.
Peter Obi has to tell Anambrarians what he knows about the crimes committed by this man, and Obiano should tell the people how he employed a serial killer without profiling his background. There are many James Nwafor in the Nigeria police scattered all over the country. Until proper reforms is carried out and layers of policing is carried out like it is done in places we claim to copy our democray from, we may just be heading to anarchy, because some people may turn against the police, like lawrence Anini and his group did. I pray we don't get to that stage.

GOATandYAMtheory:
Honestly

May God protect us from what this dumb yoots have caused us o

You might be the dumb one at the end. We have had different police tactical unit over they years. Simply disband this unit recruit and train a new set of educated personnel well remunerated and with insurance cover and see what will happen. We can always change things when need arises. Right now it makes sense to disband SARS. The last time I called the police hotline here in Lagos, it was the RRS that responded.

I just don't understand this Buhari led government. When discussions are on restructuring and increase in capacity of the state to have control over resources within the state, the Buhari led government want to increase FG's authority over all resources. This country is in continuous confused state.

All this noise is initial gra gra and playing on the sentiment of his supporters. Okorocha has challenged him to publish the report and state all contract details to completion of all contract award by his government. Let us see how this will play out.
Uzodinma is a confirmed scammer and has nothing to offer Imo state. The one who the voice of the people rejected but is placed their by man. Has he ever published accounts since he assumed the sit of power? Yet he gets revenue allocation every month. Imo people should make him publish the state account monthly, publish any awarded contracts. I still wonder how people in some quarters support this man with unresolved efcc case on his neck. Just google his name.

OkhaiAsein:
how small boy go dey tackle a whole president... I don't support the president though but lease let there be respect
at cheaper price DM for your logo and flyer design

Respect is one of the reason we are here today complaining without the effort to ask questions. The youths are the change factor in any society and the society depend on their restiveness and hard work to survive. I will never have a child who will keep quite when he or she is to speak up because he wants to show respect. That is cowardice. This government lacks the capacity to take advise. Critism was initially by opposition parties, then Human Right bodies, now entertainers. Any elder that fails to act like one, will be shown where to sit by the 'small boys". Respect to the "small boy" Wizkid.

This is what happens when government fail to consult with stakeholders before implementing policies. Nigeria is a confused country, lead by even more confused persons. It is only in Nigeria where government can scam citizens that government has no business in refinery. Yet promised to built a refinery each year across a 4yrs period.

Hope Uzodinma will not be different from Okorocha. These are leaders without any ideology and master plan for the state, unfortunately this has been the case since 1999. The only one who had a resemblance of developmental economics was Ohakim but he too fell short of some of his Ideas.
Any state with large civil service workforce without adequtate revenue base will not development, coupled with unaccountable leadership.
Any leadership with desire and capacity to govern should be able to evaluate the comparative advantage of the people and sort to develop along those lines.I am still waiting to see what Hope Uzodinma will do after 4yrs. I know he does does not have the desire and capacity to change anything.

I think time has come when this SARS people should be taken care of in our traditional way. You can't spill blood of innocent people and their families allow you go free. If the legal systems to catch you, our traditional way will.

Edo people have made their choice. If Otege worked for them in Kwara, no one should be bitter that 'Edo no be Lagos" worked for the PDP. Although both parties campaigns, where filled distractions and sensationalization of the individual actors rather than interrogation of thier manifestos. I congratulate the Edo people for their largely peaceful conduct and ruggedness towards ensuring that their each voters vote counts. It is not yet victory, until they ensure that the winner works for Edo. Any court pursuit to upturn the will of the people shall result to anarchy.

The task force members are influenced by the BODY LANGUAGE of their boss, the Governor. Nothing good will ever come out of Hope Uzodinma and his government except propaganda. The governor that has the 'PLEASURE" to arrest and detain any imolite with recourse to court processes. I don't expect his foot soldiers to act any better.

Aufbauh:
The same people that cheer up the AGF Malami when he mischievously planned to oust the EFCC acting Chairman are the same people accusing him of underhand job. Sheer hypocrisy!

I can see that the god of Ibrahim Magu is dealing with you guys very fast without wasting much time.

Your concern as a Nigeria should be the protection of law and order. Anarchy rules when we keep quite to infringement on the laws that bind us together as a people.
Will it be asking for too much from Nigerians to be objective in all the issues created by politicians; what is bad is bad, the justifying of one person's or party's actions or inactions using the other's will never move us forward. If Ibrahim Magu has questions to answer let him answer them, so also the AGF, What is bad is bad, no sentiment. simple.

Magicians:
Fool, the like of Ikpeazu, Peter Obi, Umahi, Abaribe n Ekeweremadu are not thieves but saints no wonder igbo land is looted into the shithole it is. Tell me which of your Igbo governor accomplished 1/10 in quality n quantity of project Ganduje did.

It is God that will punish u if you talk about Kano having more IGR because if Ganduje looted all Kano n still built those massive project I wonder were the saint like Jesus governors can not accomplish something have of that quality with all the revenue accruing to Igboland.

At least he was seen in the act. All the dogs eat shit, only ones caught red handed eat shit. I am sure you will understand. There should be no justification for stealing.

Using national resources as the presidential jet for non government function. It would be easier for the carmel to pass through the eye of a needle than for Nigeria politicians to do things rightly and give right leadership.

GarangDeMabior:
These places you named have been known as north for a long time.

They have a common language binding them which is Hausa.

North Nigeria is a contraption of the British Empire. Just as Nigeria is also. We also did similar contraption by state creation.

Which kind wahala be this, we are yet to recover from Covid-19 another natural disaster is looming again. God save your people, you are the only one who can give the real palliative and relief.

seunmsg:
Post the full interview and stop trying to bamboozle us with sensational headline.

You cannot bring a headline from an interview granted during the military era without posting the full details. We need to understand the context in which he made the statement.

Did some people give the immediate former president the opportunity to understand the context of his full statement that " Stealing is not corruption". But the opposition then over blew it and used it as a campaign statement. We are a society that has been so manipulated by politicians and the cash and carry press to look more on sensational quotes rather than deep analysis of full statement. The internet never forgets.

wingmanIII:
This looks better than many Federal medical centres. This country is not working, for better and faster growth, this fake marriage should be dissolved.

It looks better because they are likely managed by the missioneries. Everything Nigerian government took over from the churches have been mismanaged from Schools to hospital to whatever. The Catholic school I attended used to be headed by catholic priest, the last time I saw the school I wept for what it has become. Nigerian politicians are like viruses.

engrchykae:
what happened is that the dss came to a primary school where ipob members were having meeting,started shooting at ipob members who happened to be invincible to bullets,the ipob guys now used planks to kill two dss officers,dss guys started shooting sporadically killing two keke operators.
the deceased keke guys are not ipob members.
this is the known truth here in enugu.

This is the problem with social media, every one is a journalist with opinion while the truth and true story suffers. Nigeria or no Nigeria, Biafra or no Biafra, IPOB or no IPOB, wailers or hailers we will all exit from it one day and go answerable to our maker.
