Why don't you carry on sitting on your neutral fence making noise then? People like you are just a waste of time. Do I write for your sort to read? You don't have bad belle yet you are a mind reader to note that "people just stare and hiss away without reading". Man mi you are a class A clown with how your dislike of individuals now lead you to foolishly allude to knowing what is on the mind of other Nairalanders. Utter childish garbage !!! Conclusive proof that some of you just enjoy silly e-bit.ching - that is why you are best ignored.


I don't know why it is so difficult to understand that not everyone wishes to be apolitical like you. Not everyone wants to sit on the fence savaging everything and everyone. The gross misrule of our Nation means we should all pitch our tent somewhere. Holier-than-thou folks like you , craving to be liked, will never understand that. Like I challenged Funkymallam above, why don't you move beyond conjecture and show where "blatant sycophantic predisposition to EmPeror TiNubu" leads me to defend even his wrongdoing?

The signs are already there.
Which of the 3 largest nations in Nigeria - Hausa/Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba - has ever faced this kind of marginalization?
What if the split, if it does happen, marks the beginning of prosperity for all the emergent nations?
Isn't the geopolitical entity called Nigeria a contraption/an iniquity of the Amorites (Gen 15:13-16; Amorites: fair skin, blue eyes, tall, hooked/pointed/aquiline noses)?


ELA, whom many people today call El, knows HIS people.

Nchara:
Like 1967 like today. Odua will only regret their action should they dare secede. They will be beaten back in 6 months, unlike Biafra that took three years. BUT SERIOUSLY they cannot leave because oil from non Odua land is too sweet for them to leave. So make we hear word. No be for mouth dey dey take leave Nigeria. Na by action. So far, there is no evidence of any action.

BTW, what would Awo have been thinking now were he alive to see his people dreaming (yes dreaming) to leave the country he fought so hard to keep together?

gulfer:
Better pity yourself too. We are all in this poo together, 2015 elections will be very close no matter ACN's manipulations.

Gbawe:
My brother, na so OOO. I can imagine the usual suspect thinking to themselves: "these evil Yorobu folks are at it again. When OBJ was enjoying the same food in Aso Rock they did not complain".  

Funkymallam:
Correct aboki na, the thing here is that this is the first time the amount is being made public, if other allowances are also publicized, there will b an evolution-like uproar.
Its this department 'presidential food' that made Sen. Dr. Andy Uba what he is today, remember, he was the SA to OBJ on domestic matters.
If u knw hw many ppl feed fat frm dat 'contract' and u better be gud to dem, rather than joke with what u eat.
Still not making up xcuses for dem, they need to start reforming from there, i think there are ppl that need to leave tha 'food department'.
Do the rigth thing Oga Jona!

Gbawe:
Alhaji, what many must understand is that ordinary Nigerians went out of their way to gamble on GEJ because they believed he was different. If you listened to many comments before the election, you will note that Nigerians were uniformly saying GEJ is a "departure" from the past. "Fresh air" was thus coined.

When his actual practices and policies have not demonstrated this "departure from the past" do you not expect folks to be bitterly disappointed and especially scathing in their condemnation? It is like being duped. You feel really cheap and silly. I am betting that is how many Nigerians feel right now and this is why criticism of GEJ is non-stop. Nigerians naively believed in this man, even when they had no reason to, in an almost childlike and biblical manner. They posited his "divine" rise to the top meant he must be voted for by all means against the "demons". Now they only have a worsening nation to show for their childish abandonment of critical and pragmatic decision making.

Evil Brain:
So if OBJ had killed and eaten a baby every year, it would be okay by you if Jonathan followed in his footsteps? You think Jonathan would have no choice but to eat babies if his predecessors also did it?

You are using nursery school logic to defend the indefensible. Just because Chinedu sucks his thumb doesn't make it okay for you to do it.

This kind of waste is simply wrong. It is especially reprehensible when you consider the austerity measures that the very same same budget implements for the majority of Nigerians who are already struggling to stay above water. There is no excuse.

Gbawe:
Alhaji, what you must understand is that outstanding leaders are the ones who birth reform and change[b] that brings evolution, advancement and progress[/b]. Outstanding leaders, born to lead, always eschew deleterious practices of the past or do things appropriate to the conditions of the day. We saw David Cameron deciding to fly on commercial flights because Britons, his people, were feeling the effects of the credit crunch.

A reforming President will understand the concept of self-sacrifice and cost-cutting- especially applied to a Nation being ruined by wanton profligacy and sheer wastefulness. Jonathan should routinely move away from the wasteful practices of the Politicians before him because those guys are the last dinosaurs from a world that is fast becoming extinct. I.e the world in which a few folks, undeservingly award so much to themselves while others, equally entitled to the common source of wealth, get nothing.

ziccoit:
@alj_harem. That is why GEJ will never be a ' fresh air' as believed in some quarters. GEJ even appears worse.
Must he maintain a dangerous way of life he inherited from his predecessors? No

kizito96:
Lets be realistic, Fashola is doing very well. If other previous Governors had provided infrastructure like this, the Country would have turned into something else

Evil Brain:
Guy, seriously, are you rètarded? Are you aware that Jonathan has been head of state for nearly 2 years now? Did Yar'Adua prepare this budget in the grave?

And WTF do you mean "how much be common 1 billion"? Are you not aware that Jonathan used lack of funds to justify something that will make life far harder for the vast majority of Nigerians next year?do you know what 1 billion will do if spent on something, anything sensible? Do you know how many Nigerian children die every year form lack of N200 antimalarials?

Also, do you think that food is the only inflated item on the budget? And WTF does Obama have to do with anything? If Obama started eating shît, would you tell Jonathan to start doing it too?

Your post suggests a level of rètardation that is simply impossible for one human to possess so I have to conclude that you think this way because you are a beneficiary of government corruption.

VoodooDoll:
I believe Rhino is being sarcastic.

Funkymallam:
This is terrible, what on earth are they eating?
But come to think of it, if the senate approves this, that means other occupants of aso rock have been having similar budget and approvals. This is generating much anger and so should it because it was made public.
Only God knws hw much is for funiture allowance(i wonder the need for that yearly, even d senate n house of assembly is guilty of this).
Medical allowances, wardrope allowance, leave allowance and so on.

@Gbawe. Sure, all stomach r equal but some are more equal than others, just as u also gather d crumbs frm BAT and BRF's table, only God knws hw large and tasty that is. (those that live in glass house dnt throw stones).
U have expertly evaded all d thread about d lekki toll brouhahahaha and we all know y.

@op. Dis country is really sick and really need urgent cleansening.

vanunu:
It seems every aboki man is now building bomb for christians this xmas .

phreakabit:
Quit being imbecilic. This is a quote from OP's post on the first page :

Next time don't neglect your reasoning faculty while posting. . . . In your words : "common sense is no longer common." You drown in the ocean of stup!dity.

solomon111:
your grandiose delusion is outstanding,I must say!.I will repeat that yoruba people have no say whatsoever in Delta state.Could you give me the name of anybody in delta state politics with a yoruba name?That alone is enough to disqualify him/her.Please do not assume too much of the yoruba people.I dont care where the Itshekiris came from,but one thing i know is that they are no longer yorubas.
And please the fact the ilajes contribute to our I.G.R do not make them deltans.The igbos in lagos contribute far much more but are not classified as yorubas.
Thank you.

werepeLeri:
dont you know they will be feeding on gold daily? Gold dont come cheap.

solomon111:
Well, your argument probably has a degree of validity,but that dosent mean that the yoruba people has any claim to delta state in the possibility of an event like the 'sovereign national conference' .

9jaganja:
Lagos doesn't need a refinery in Lagos; she needs one close to her!!! Geezz help one of those dying states at least damn!!!!!

Who are those thinking for this administration? Lagos can survive alone without anymore aid from FG. Let Lagos have her port and go build a refinery in Ekiti state, Ebonyi, Zamfara or even make Kwara better developed by putting a refinery in say oro, Omu Aran, Offa, Ajase Ipo or something. Lagos doesn't need anything from FG! and this is coming from an Awori!!!

Lagos is already polluted as it is a refinery in Lagos will worsen situation seriously and don't even mention putting a refinery in Badagry, Help a dying state out seriously Ebonyi is nothing to write home about, Ekiti people are surviving on traditional modes of trade and businesses which the government can't even venture in to generate revenue as that will be chaotic!!!

Seriously, this government is clueless, If I were GEJ, I'll fire all advisers and use think tanks instead. There are think tank agencies working all over Africa and are actually doing litt
