The first primary school still standing while those built about 20yrs ago have all gone back to its ancestors. That tells us how the society is decaying inspite of our advancements in all facets of life

Interesting. These politicians just believe that we are fools.

I just have to agree with those who reasoned that the judgement is a forgone conclusions by those watching the various judgements on governorship elections so far. The idea is "be declared as elected" and those against should go to court.

Most of our directives are political directives that those concern ignore, and that ends it.

In toto, it seems this saying will apply "one man's meat is another man's poison"

At times l feel sorry for our younger generations and indeed the vast majority of Nigerians when one listens to what our elders and well educated are churning out contrary to average reasoning.

People talk of true federalism. Some people talk of home grown system of government. Others are talking about returning to parliamentary system of government and so on and so forth. This shows how little we have learned as regards to self governess.
While some people's selfishness stood mile apart, some are moderate as regards to implementation of minimum wage. Though we all want to have the minimum wage but then do we ever envisaged whether the various state governments can afford it. Will State governments utilised its resources in paying wages alone.

Was the body odour natural or being careless . If it were natural body odour, then that was not her making and then whom do we blame. Her parents or her maker. However, if it turns out that it was due to carelessness then we can all blame.
In any case, with all these high class perfumes available in the market and if one can afford it, with or without body odour; it shouldn't be a problem.

A commentator is ready to release nuclear bomb in purely a joke write up. This shows how little those close or far but admirer of Mr. president behave or reason.

We humans have different opinions. What actually matters is whether such opinion has an element of reasonableness. Even this my write up will be examined by others and placed it according to his own opinion. In the final analysis, there is what we called an average reasoning.

What l found disturbing is attributing what clearly was a human mistakes or doing to our merciful God. God or Allah did not create airplane nor motor vehicles nor guns or even nuclear weapons, but when human beings decided to test their capabilities and met with disastrous results while flouting the laws and regulations governing it's own creations, we religiously attributed it to God.

What l found disturbing is for someone to legally or illegally moved to another country and start demanding for his/her local cultural or religious practices. That country did not look for you, you look for it. These western countries are very liberal so to say

Going by Nigerians definition of democracy, it seems an uphill task if such couldn't happen in Katsina state.

By this order, it clearly shows that the governor believe rightly or wrongly that the state government is his personal company in which he can hire and fire.
The good governor forgot that he was elected to govern democratically not militarily. He also forgot that the government employees are paid from government coffers not from his pocket.
This is how politicians have rated Nigerians. Beggars even in their own government.

Hunter. Great hunter
Hunts for tigers
Hunts for lions
Hunts for leopard
Hunters well equipped
Not with AK47
Not with APC
Not with machine guns
But with charms
Dane guns and the heaviest of all
INCANTATIONS

This is clear indication on how the mind of the erstwhile PDP governor is working. Don't be surprised if the wonderful word that our politicians frequently used is put into action. That famous word but nusiating to a mature mind is DECAMP

asobo:
The poster made it seems it he is a present senator. Mtchew

Sincerely, not before l read the whole story do l realise that he was a former senator. From all indications, it seems he has grudges with his former party. In any case, in Nigeria, our politicians have no ideology. They are jumping from one party to the other.
Once they are not getting what they want, the next is to decamp. How then will this country have what you call a vibrant politics with these fair weather politicians

96 employees. Well the labour market is saturated and now this. In any case, the necessary workers will be retained while those there on patronage must leave. Knowing when to call a spade a spade is also an achievement. I mean cutting your coat to size

A good move. The fact is there was no need for the fees.
To achieve corruption free civil service, these little matters need to be taken care of

Rather unfortunate. One can imagine the students are going through now. We do hope that the government will do the needful so that the students do not lose the opportunity to move forward academically

Those good old days when beauty was beauty. Nowadays, to get a naturally beautiful woman and even a handsome man without make up is very hard to come by. Anyone can be referred to as a beauty after heavy makeup. What then is the criteria use in determining a beautiful woman.
A times the social media will show us some pictures of our so called beauty with caption BEFORE and AFTER and you start wondering whether it is a yahoo yahoo version of our beautiful ladies.

Religion as we grew up to know has been changing seriously. We now have religious leaders who are richer than some local governments and even states.
They attained these luxurious heights by telling us to pray and pay our dues as at when due. We faithfully do so thinking that our hard earned money must go to God thru our religious leaders.
The irony is we built beautiful religious houses with all sorts of electronic accessories possibly for the comfort of God. We pray harder while our religious leaders are leaving in heaven on earth. The masses have to pray harder to God.
The joke is, almost all materials and the luxurious items used were procured from countries that don't believe in prayers or even religion as a whole . Yes let's pray once more

She spoke eloquently about former vice president Atiku. If the story of her decamping to PDP is true and if someone read between the lines of her utterances, certainly we don't need soothsayers, imams and pastors to predict this move.

All along, anybody with an iota of election history especially presidential knows that 'it's a wild goose chase '

While some state governments are trying their best in the payment of pension and gratuity, some are busy pilling it up. What these defaulting state governments fail to understand is that these pensioners are old and worn out and need the assistant of the government of the day which in any case they are legitimately entitled to and not benevolence.
Those at the helm of affairs today will be pensioner tomorrow. Most if not all the pensioners are those who even at the time they are working, their salaries cannot even sustain them not to talk of savings. They have no access to state funds and some were very upright in the discharge of their duties.
Fighting corruption should begin with paying pension and gratuity as at when due. That is the LONG time solution couple with the present approach

How l wish those who have the knowledge on how to go about this 'lock'enlighten us more

Politicians should learn to accept defeat. We Nigerians are practicing democracy without it's ingredients. The ingredients include among others the ability to accept defeat. Congratulate the winning side. Avoid thuggery during or after elections.
A defeated politicians should follow the democratic ways of going to the courts if there is an iota of doubt on how the loss came about. The next action left for such politician is to go back to the drawing board, counter all adversaries with superior propagating machinery. People are not fools as the politicians sometimes underate populace. They reason too.

The beauty of it all is that every religion claims its holy book is the words of God or Allah. The big question is how do we verify these claims. We are invariably refer to the same book citing the verses therein.
The only way to know the truth is when we are dead. Unfortunately, the dead stayed dumb. If one thinks carefully, this world has been existing years before religions were introduced. In fact all the prophets were given birth to by humans. They survived their childhood by their parents careful handling of the delicate nature of a child.
Well, life continues. We kill ourselves because of religion. We enrich ourselves due to religion. The irony, the poor is damn poorer inspite of our religions.

Those amongst us that refer to our former amiable President Goodluck Johnathan as ineffectual baffon, drunkard etc are only expressing their freedom of speech which we all know now that such utterances are classified as fake news, hatred and felony.
Anyway come to think of it, most of us just copy or repeat what was in the media or market square without verifying. We are good at reacting to news and even take physical action based on heresy

Budget left to me alone is just an annual ritual performed by governments telling us the down trodden masses how they will fund the government house.
I always wonder how does a state government that have no visible income excepting that of the federation sharings will be budgeting huge some money. Those states did that simple because the citizens have long lost hope in budgeting. It's almost meaningless to them.

All these senators or reps earnings confusion boiled down to the simple fact and that's WE DON'T HAVE DEMOCRACY in its real meanings.

What South Africa is currently doing to their benefactor (Nigeria) is annoying to any reasonable mind. The government must study carefully what gave rise to these dastardly acts. What triggers this unwanton behavior. Are Nigerians to blame.
While we are condemning, the government should carefully remove the.grains from the chaff. Let's reasons prevail. If it's established through thorough investigations that Nigerians residing there behaved like any other foreigners and that it was not a case of 'l rescue you' therefore you must respect me situation then diplomatic retaliation has to be considered.
