May he get the justice he seeks.

Do you know that Jesus loves you?

Yes he does.

That's a tough hope!

If justice truly existed in Nigeria, there would have been no EndSars protest.

BibleStoreng:
Why can't everyone do away with crime? This thing does not pay in the long run

Before we ask that question or demand such... The question is "are there viable or more lucrative options"?!!

How many jobs and business opportunities have we created for these young ones?!!

Sigh.... Na so better work end like that!

Mechanics, electricians, helps, secretaries, etc... Wetin dey give una mind to enter employer car for pleasure ride??! What sort of stupidity is that?!!

Seems the average Nigerian has become murderous...

This is why you should never pick fights or allow issues escalate. Play the fool if you have to.

This excessive or compulsive need to prove your manliness will end badly for many of you.

...anyway before you crave for attention, check when that comment was posted n check when you post yours.
Error, mis spelling, can occur at any time.

Instead of you to do the correction in peace you added insult to it

If you think is that easy to write a comment in the middle of night, try yours tonight.

.. it seems you 're trying so hard to let the world know you have a daughter but others don't.

Ewu.

You are welcome sir! Have a good day.

Yet we support politicians, fight over them, and insult ourselves because of them...

Just look at what a former Giant of Africa has been reduced to! A former top economy of the African continent!

Leadership is everything abeg! Nigerians, una go truly hear am! Continue being ethnic and religious!

ufotunang:
He has joined the corrupt party

You mean he left one fantastically corrupt party for another equally corrupt one....

Please, don't be economical with the truth.

Those of you abusing, insulting, fighting, killing, and dying for these politicians should continue being foolish!


No politician in Nigeria today is worth that level of stress! Not one!

OgunLaakaye:
If he is patient enough, he should be able to wait till 2053. ,

All odds will favour him at that point.

Am certain that between 2053-2060, he will become the president of Nigeria.

Yeah... I agree honestly.

Why should Nigeria get it right before decades are thrown down the drain! What's the rush?!!

Not just Obi... Every sane Nigerian should allow old rogues finish taking their share of the little left in the national coffers, pile on more unpayable debts before leaving the carcass of the moribund nation for serious patriotic leaders.

True words sir! I totally agree!

ceede2:
..hold on, their r coming for you.

"Their" is quite distinct from "They" in every manner of usage!

Even my Primary school daughter knows this basic distinction.

Mr. Aliyu...

Obi has gained more popularity in less than a month than most top politicians do in years.

If PDP meant well for Nigeria, he would be their flag bearer without question!

By 2031, Obi will be almost 70... Are you saying Nigeria should only be led by old men?!! When did old age and senility become accepted standards for presidency?!! Over 15 years of being led by old men, how has Nigeria progressed?!!

Well, nothing short of a widespread revolution will redeem this nation!

duro4chang:
Intolerance in the church intolerance in the society. Intolerance in the mosque. Intolerance everywhere.

Religion is a scourge upon this nation!

richmanrichard:
by end of next season his name go turn from Erik Ten Hag to Erik Don Hang

More like Erik Tenth Place!

Only a terrorist will admit to killing people...

Oga, keep quiet and prepare for Swearing in.

jrusky:
Keep quiet!!!

This is not about hate it's about lies.

Stop telling lies to look good. A liar will ends up as thief. Stop telling lies.

Sell your Obi but Stop lying.

Honestly, do they really need to lie?!? Do they really need to exaggerate the great man's achievements??! That just speaks of desperation.

What were Buhari's achievements prior to winning in 2015?!!

The only thing I expect from Obi's supporters is to let people know the following:

1. He is far better than Buhari in every imaginable and visible way, hence will definitely be an improvement.

2. Since APC has failed altogether, he and his party remain the viable option to salvage the nation. PDP has nothing better to offer.

3. How he plans to correct the errors of Buhari, APC, and PDP.

This should suffice.... Not silly exaggerations and half truths!

Cubalabloo:
And they say, the police is your friend. I reject those friends with passion!

Whose friend?!!... Maybe those who are Stinkingly rich like corrupt politicians.

Ximenez:
His salary will probably be tripled. If they sack him, they have to pay him his severance.
It's not about being brave.

That's quite true... That's a lot of payoffs in such few years.

That club needs to get serious!

Kyase:
Lol
Next season get as e dey be
Utd run by business men, can't negotiate signings
I'm ashame

Erik Ten Hag must be a very brave hearted coach to take up that daunting challenge.

fergie001:
We signed Rudiger, we renewed Modric's contract since Mbappe refused to come. We will still sign a new LB.

Madrid never dies. Les Merengues

Yeah.... Stay there! You and Kyase are safer there.

There will be blood in England next season!

xynerise:
Chill, time still dey

Okay o...

Just that dem don almost buying all the correct players finish.

Fahdiga:
Chelsea won't miss him

Really?!! Who is his replacement in that first team?!!

Nice one.... Some clubs are taking no chances this coming season.

The same can't be said for others.

Come Kyase, Xynerise, Fergie001, Ray07... Na only Coach una wan unveil this season?!?

Era of widespread propaganda and falsehood!

Na to leave social media for una remain o!

Still at the end subsidy has to go. It creates deficits, looting and corruption, and prevents growth in our refineries.

Nigeria did not subsidies GSM , or force GSM companies to charge something like one kobo for a one hour call, so that the poor could enjoy phone services.They let them charge whatever they wanted....and as a result we have interent and telephone services that we could dream of 20 years ago, and without government spending a penny, plus prices eventually came down.

That's precisely what I am saying....

The sole reason they claim the subsidy removal is being resisted by Trade Unions and masses is because of lack of trust in the system.

If they ran a transparent and corruption free administration, many would have walked this tough walk with them willingly.

You want to remove subsidy but won't let go of corruption and wasteful spending in all sectors... Won't go down well with the suffering citizens.

Sanitize the government, and your citizens will jump into any fire with you!

subsidywise18:
Same from here. I have said yes to subsidy removal. But most Nigerians have always said no.



They did, and the answer was no. Even last year, when his finance minster was yelling at him to remove subsides, and when El rufai said that subsidy payments was limiting the amount of money available for sharing , Buhari chickened out.

NLC has always been consistent. No total subsidy removal. Partial, maybe, but not total.


Okay, let's waste 5 trillion naira and go into more deficits because subsidy.

You want cheap fuel. Good. I think it is a disaster for Nigeria. We can agree to disagree there. Good am.

I treat Nigeria situation and issues the same way I treat business and daily living.

I see the masses as employees while the leaders are appointed directors.

The employees will groan and complain of inconveniences of certain harsh business decisions, but they will come around if the directors explain things clearly and set a definite road map to success!

Of course, our leaders will have to earn the trust of the electorates first.

subsidywise18:
First, thanks for calling me stale, and second, I still stand by what I wrote, and third, I still also agree with you that yes, corruption and bad leadership is to blame.

But the fact is, hospitals aborad, work well, because they have more money....due to stuff like higher hospital fees, or higher rates of taxation, and higher GDP due to being in industrial nations.

I am aware that we have had bad leaders, which is why I have made it a prinicple not to support anyone from APC or PDP , even if they port to other parties, since 2002. But the fact is, if we want good things, we need money for them.

And Nigeria is not earning enough money because, like most African countries we sell raw materials. We do not control the prices of those raw materials. We have shown no interest in remaking those raw materials to exportable industrial goods whose prices we can control...and which we can earn more dollars from than we are earning now. We don;t overall as a nation pay enough in tax income.

And we expect to have good stuff like the countries that are industrial, have much higher tax to gdp ratios, and export a lot of industrial products and have a diversified economy.? Plus they deal with corruption whoever ox is gored (not like Nigeria where fighting corruption is ok...till they reach your favorite politican?).

Nigeria needs to make far more money than we are making now, and severely punish corrupition. And relying on oil money for all our needs, or relying on selling raw materials whose prices, need I remind you, we do not control, is not the answer.

And the sad thing is that Buhari, BAT, Obi, Atiku and most of the political class have no idea.

Let's tell ourselves the truth, or keep lying.

Pardon my choice of words sir... Apologies if you felt insulted, but that was not the intention.

You see, we hear these all the time. It's is easy to pinpoint the problems and talk about them all day long, but that will never make them go away.

Nigeria needs practical solutions... The nation is in dire straits but redemption is not impossible.

The first step to solving Nigeria's crisis is to cut expenditure in all sectors! If this is done at the same time as stopping fuel subsidy, results will be seen in Months.

Anti-Corruption remains a huge decider for the effectiveness of the above, because face it, doing everything without checking excesses is like pouring water and fuel into a burning building at the same time.

This is why I agree with you that none of the current political candidates will deliver, except Peter Obi due to his ability to be frugal.

subsidywise18:
There is a solution, and that is to remove fuel subsidy.

But each time APC, and in fairness, PDP and before them the Millitary has suggested total fuel subsidy removal, Nigerians have always said no, nyet, nein, non, etc.

So, we prevent the petroleum sector from making refining petrol at home profitable, spend millions importing fuel, and then forcing the sector to lose money selling it at subsidised prices, and then paying a subsidy that barely covers the losses, and does not allow the sector make enough cash to expand and maintain refining capacity.

How many Nigerians said No?!!

I sure as hell never said No!

Please, when did Buhari present that option to all Nigerians since 2015?!!
When did he sit down with Labor Unions and Fuel Marketers to forge a path forward?!!

You need to start educating yourself on what leadership really entails instead of constantly shifting blames on the long-suffering masses!

Maxymilliano:
It's obvious APC has no single solution to any of the country problems, it has always been one step forward and ten steps backward.

APC never came prepared... Getting power was all they cared about.

After 2 tenures, they are still more clueless and criminal than PDP! What a shame.

subsidywise18:
Good point, but let's be honest...our hospitals are underresourced from an underresourced budget.

Nigeria spends less than 3 billion dollars on health. Our budget is less than 30-40 billion dollars on a good day. Countries where people port to for healthcare spend about 100 billion dollars on health alone.

UAE produces 2.4m barrels of crude a day, for a populaiton less than 20 million. Nigeria does 1.7 m barrels...for 210 million people. Do the math.

And we push our budget into deficit by overreliance on oil and also by wasteful subsides on power and petrol, and by a very poor tax uptake rate.

At some point, you have to realize these explanations of yours are getting stale and non impactful to an average Nigerian.

If most Nigerians use these hospitals and are healthy enough or well, what makes elected leaders so special that they have to use hospitals abroad at the expense of the same deficit budget or national income?!!

We can't keep painting the problem and giving these useless leaders soft landings (Yes, that's precisely what you do most times)...

There is nothing particularly delicate or special about Nigeria's situation that a brilliant and serious leader won't solve with the cooperation of majority of the masses.

Nations have been in worse circumstances and came out strong through doggedness and proper leadership.

I can't even castigate him honestly....

Not when the elected president goes abroad thrice a year at least for mere routine check up.

People who hang around these cross dressers dey try Sha... I can't do it! Never!

They pour trash into gutters, block drainages... Then start praying to God or gods for deliverance from resulting floods!

Yeah... Most Africans, especially Nigerians, are a special kind of stupid!
