Even as a politician, if your hands are clean at all times, you don't need to be scared of death. Do as the constitution entails, provide the basics necessities of life for your citizens as enshrined in the UN chatter. Don't intimidate or oppress your political opponents. Allow state institutions to operate and function independently, guarantee safety of lives and property. Finally, let every citizen feel a sense of belonging as a stakeholder in the government.


This is Netherlands prime minister MARK RUTTE. He goes to work on bicycle from his home. Rides with ordinary citizens on the same road without escort. He even takes pictures with them on demand. His office is always open to visitors at all times.

Now the big question is, can a local government chairman in Nigeria do this? Talk more of a governor or even the president.

WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS RULES, THE PEOPLE REJOICE.

More pictures of Mark Rutte

Incomparable.

Pictures speaks louder.

fayose dey cut ponmo. Nigerian politician are regular market customers.

when a Nigerian politician does this, you would be skeptical. you would claim eye service and campaign strategy, but you are ready to bite into foreign politicians hook, line and sinker.

Our leaders are criminals , even the ones claiming to fight corruption .

Use your sense for once! Look at the pictures; can your governor or president do that ? Are they not busy investing in the latest bullet proof cars and vest? If their consciences were clear, would there be need for such ?! Think jare.

After rigging their self on the country, and soiling their hands with blood, they go for all round security. From bulletproof vest to bulletproof cars. Shame on Nigerian politics and her politicians

Buhari just trekked recently. Buhari was shown to have a simple house.

fayose went to the market frequently.

when Nigerian politicians do things like this, it is a gimmick but when the oyibos do it, it is sincerity.

how do you know that he doesn't have his own cars and he is just riding bicycle for campaign?

how do you know that he isn't using the bicycle as diversion from whatever he might be doing illicitly?

if Nigerian politicians fake humility, why would you think foreign politicians won't do the same?

ykk

Oga, the story these pictures tell is quite clear : this man is not in anyway near or close to bodyguards; and neither is he doing a publicity stunt . But go and see video footages of Buhari and Fayose , you must always see them surrounded by bodyguards 24/7; they are always in the throng of the DSS and co. Why ? The bible says " a clear conscience fears no accusation ". So if their consciences were clear, what's the need of security guards ?

how do you know it isn't a publicity stunt? if it was a Nigerian politician would your opinion remain the same?

even if they had clear conscience, Nigeria is not secure. they could need the guards to protect themselves from evil people.

the security situation over there may be different. he could have a stained conscience and still move comfortably due to security.

I laugh when people say Nigeria will be great. This same country called Netherlands or Holland gets more in Agricultural exports than Nigeria get in Oil exports.

Look at the Prime minister on a common bicycle with no security. Why would he need security? Nobody is after him. He is working and not looting the people dry. This is a working country and system.

Nigeria is not working and the system does not work. That's why Buhari needs 800 bodyguards to make an 800 meter trek

They should divide the country let some people go an aspire to be like Holland

My brother , if Buhari,Fayose and all those we voted into office did their jobs and follow the constitution , would there be need for them to go around with security ? The problem with us here in Nigeria is that nobody is ready to do their job ; instead they prefer to steal and make excuses for their incompetences.

no there won't.

that does not make the foreigners saints. appearances can be deceiving. they are also corrupt over there but they are good at hiding it.

But their level and our level , is it the same ? Our level of corruption is what is keep us underdeveloped.

their corruption is in a different league. they have different history than ours that's why theirs is not so physical.

you should browse the internet and see the opinions of those living in that country first.

do you know, I checked a site and some of those people (foreigners) think obasanjo is a saint?

Even d devil wil nt try dat in Nigeria do u want 2 b kidnapped or harassed by beggars or b killed by motorists cus our roads dnt have provision 4 bicycle

If our leaders in Nigeria, provide the basics necessities of life, there will be little or no kidnappers. If our economy is working, and there are jobs, there won't be beggars to invade them on our roads. If they make our roads motorable, there won't be so much avoidable accidents. So the bottom line is our leaders in Nigeria are just wicked and corrupt. Shame on them, and Nigeria's politics.

The Selfish(666) is 90% in Control of Nigeria.
Until you make the 36 States Fully Autonomous to be incharge of their Earnings, Elections and Security and to jointly Run FG on Utmost Good Faith, true Democracy will never be sustained in Nigeria.

Our Professionals, especially Lawyers and Police are criminals.

Well, I don't like blaming the "Vampires-In-Power (Nigerian Politicians). I blame the whole pple of Nigeria.

Even the average Nigerian filled with pure arrogance and pride should he be more privileged than his fellows... It's a thing of the mind.

Nigerians are all CORRUPT !!!

Nigeria Life is complicated now by this Fulanis Refusal to learn the proper way to stop corruption.
Buhari is just bungling. And discriminatingly punishing other Tribes than The Fulanis and his close Associates with his miserable Islamic Banking and Arab Economy.

Y'all should stop these kind of comparisons. Netherlands' population is not even up to that of Lagos. They are not as diverse as Nigeria. They have not suffered what Nigeria has suffered so we should not be compared to them at all.

Even if he's clean and loved by the entire populace No sane politician will do this in nigeria.his opponents will see that as an avenue to send hitmen after him,remember nigerian politicians see politics as a do-or-die affair.
