You have deliberately twisted my comment because e too hard for you to understand and/implement.
ELDERLY parents and grandparents are definitely not able bodied people in my post under reference or are they?
Education and training is also not the same as getting a job, doing business, making things to sell or farming AFTER finishing the education and training, not so?
Anyway, we have a choice- to unwittingly subsidise the corruption that is killing us all in different ways or find creative, even though difficult ways to kill it.
Choices have consequences.

I know English is not our mother tongue, and you clearly have difficulty expressing yourself correctly.

My dad in his 80s is able-bodied but elderly.

Many elderly people where I live do cycling, bodybuilding, bungee jumping and all kinds of physically demanding stuff. They are able-bodied.

I have also encouraged some distant relatives post-education into learning a trade and farming.
Even from diaspora, I do both livestock & plantain farming.
I know many others who do same.

People in diaspora, whether as medics, cleaners, ICT engineers, supermarket checkout staff (even the nearly non-existent dead body washers as home based like to say derogatorily) all work hard and certainly not willing to squander it on lazy buggers.

Most do it out of necessity. Don't assume any authority over who they should help.

Some people abroad are even conned out of money by some feigning illness or emergency in 9ja.

We all know the situation.

seguno2:
[b]Sending money back home to able bodied people who should be working or at least farmin[/b]g isn't helping them.
No.
It is a way of YOU subsidising the corruption of our leaders looters.
Yes.
The very corruption that drove them into voluntary under-employment and slavery abroad is what they are promoting by "helping" people who should otherwise be agitating for good governance and better working conditions.
Ironic, to say the least.

Well, I do not know if you want people to ignore elderly parents or grandparents without pension or irregular pension payment. Let them die of hunger or illness just to protest against the government.

Or even to let young relatives turn to street urchins, runs girls/prostitutes by refusing to pay for their education or training. Just to send a message of protest to Federal, State or Local government.

Hahahahaha. Chai!

This your own logic nor be here o.

The[b] title is really- best LABOURER aka slave of the month.
He should endeavour to contribute to his own business and country instead of developing another country for peanut[/b]s.

The millions without jobs in 9ja nko, have you given them jobs yet?

The man found his way there, works hard and probably looks after many people financially back home, like most diaspora people.

A man who has no plans cannot buckle up, work hard and be employee of the month.

First go to Indian, Chinese & Lebanese companies in Lagos, that abuse workers for a pay of 15k a month. Fight slavery at home first.

Kikikikikikiki.

My only surprise is that people are surprised by this.

So you have all forgotten what we said during campaign 2015?

So when we said Buhari has very ancient ideas and ways of doing things, you people really believed we were tanoids??

Why should even any half-educated adult Nigerian be surprised by this?

Let alone graduates and people who can read Nigerian history?

I wish her every success.

So people still take APC goons serious? Those with power but do not know what to do with it?

GEJ has been giving them heart attack since May 5th 2010. They know they will never have the blessing of GEJ. Humans can accuse and scheme but they can never play God.

Make una leave them.

GEJ was a man who never schemed or kill or fight needlessly for power. He also never spilt blood to retain power.
God will be the judge.

Cadamlk:
When GEJ removed the subsidy in 2011,i was among the few that supported the idea. I wonder why the man bowed to pressure and returned it again.

I kept telling people that subsidy is a scam,they called me names.Now i have been vindicated.

No mind them. When we argued here and explained why it was good, we were called tanoids and nearly eaten alive.

ACN and their bigots hungry for power promised to paralyse the land, protests everywhere. Knowing he has no power without support of those who say they won the war and own Nigeria, GEJ had to soft pedal. He was called clueless. Now we know the bigots remain the clueless.

masseratti:
boko haram virus is bigger than our local politics here, its funded by the Arabs just like Isis, Gej was incompetent fact, if he stir the country well he won't have lost the election, Nigerians like him but he was incompetent, if buhari is like him too, he will be voted out.

It began locally. Rather small. The killing of Yusuf was a turning point. Something people conveniently like to forget now. Because GEJ was not to blame for it.

It also began in OBJ's time. If nipping it in the bud was possible, it was while still small then. Not after growing, highly energised and radicalised by Yusuf killing and had already attracted both local and international sponsors with same purpose of defeating the regime of a Christian in 9ja.

But hey, accepting that would not condemn GEJ, so better to have selective amnesia about those.

The religious mix and tolerance of SW 9ja make a lot of SW people unable to accept that such tolerance to Christian ruling is not at all common to the Arab world or even Northern 9ja. Except installed by Northerners to take back soon again Like OBJ.

We can twist facts and politicise everything, but it won't help us. As we can see with the bad economy now. They said economy was bad, and they'll fix it. Now they keep blaming GEJ like a bad workman blames his tools.

Posterity will be a better judge.

We have always had mediocre leaders.

You need to measure GEJ's time against OBJ's and Shagari 's regime. Buhari has under 3 years to come to equity too. Only then can you judge : economy/inflation, infrastructure, security, rule of law, democratic credentials. Etc.

To judge arbitrarily is very unscientific.

masseratti:
Buhari should please for the love of Allah talk aboyt fulani herdsmen, APC will not win next election oooo, going this way, its high time Tinubu and other APC leaders step up and help him, the cabals around him has to be checked, I believe fulani herdsmen are same as boko harams, how Cattle can run more than a man I don't know, it only happens here in Nigeria.

Nobody wants to hear what you are saying now. Truth is bitter. Boko seemed to have two short /medium term target a few years back. (1) Wrestle power in 9ja from the South. (2) Focus on killing Southerners after power is returned to the North.

First has been achieved by killings in the North to make GEJ unpopular there. So that even railway, universities, Almajiri schools built there and other development will be overlooked.

Then thousands of Boko boys melted into herdsmen across the South to carry out mayhem.

The comments here na true werey.

This Tosyn na werey.

Whether he blasted Buhari or not irrelevant.

I know he told us God wanted Bubu to win and bless Nigeria.

Does he mean the blessing or better govt he prophesied is this darkness, joblessness, hunger and worse??

what all these bloggers do nowadays is to go to Google and search for "Kenyan latest news".. Coz dem know say food must to come..

You can't go wrong with titillating Kenya news, can you?

Very odd that so many weird stuff are happening in the most outwardly religious societies.

I guess this over-religiosity is linked to desperation, fear, poverty & failure of govt/society.

If they were more economically secure and better off, many would have no need to go to church or seek miracle. Like you have in the West.

Therefore, despite all this religiosity, the stubborn socio-economic problems still stare us in our faces. And boil over all too often.

We live in an area called tropical rainforest in Ibadan. And yet nobody thought about keeping police people working outside dry in July. Na wa o.

That's why some lazybone among them will just go and hide in one buka.

See the level of black mentality, instead of congratulating and and entertaining him. I keep wondering when this barbaric act will end in our higher institutions. My God why the hell I'm a Nigerian?

Nothing new.

Bullingdon Club members at Oxford University do worse.

David Cameron & Boris Johnson were members. Former UK prime minister & current UK Foreign Minister respectively.

Just fun.

We have no sense of justice. Someone bear up a woman on your soil, and you fast track justice in his favour. Sad hunch of backward people. Kofi you are a woman beating self-servicer

Actually, when I said here he should go to jail, I never thought it would happen sef.

In years gone by, it would have been called a private dispute between a man & his employee. Or even family matter. The lady would have be under pressure to say she's not pressing charges & that would be the end of it. The lady would even lose her dancing career.

This is already an improvement.

But them clapping for him like he just returned from Kora or Grammy award win though.

Dreamwaker:
Until the federal government sends the Indonesian ambassador home, Nigerians will still be issued visa to this country with the intent to traffic drugs

Govt needs to do more to inform people about crimes & vices & the stiff punishment abroad. Be it drugs, Scam/fraud/419, prostitution, etc.

Some people innocently get trapped or forced into it.
But of course some go into it on purpose. If at least most innocent ones can be helped to avoid the trap, it would have been a huge success.

However, govt campaign might fall on deaf ears if the economy remains bleak at home.

I hope some people will not turn cannibal at this rate o.

People are just eating everything. Na wa o.

biggie73:
It is what it is "honorary". No need for congratulations,that is for folks who sweat it out.

Well, honorary titles are supposed to be for those who have already "sweat it out" successfully in other aspects of life and made enormous contributions to society. Congrats ought to be in order.

Though it is becoming all-comers in developing nations.

Honourees are also not supposed to use the "Dr" prefix. It should be DLitt (hc), DSc (hc), PhD (hc). etc as a suffix.

honoris causa (hc) = for the sake of honour.

She is who she claims she is, so what's my business. If she choose to go on the part of celibacy, it's her life. If she opt to remain single for the rest of her life, who cares. I don't know why people can't just stop poking their nose into the life of celebrities.

I think the matter is that celebs are made by public attention.

Have you ever seen a celeb that has no fans or court good publicity?

Our people say na "wetin dey sweet person na im dey kill am".

You cannot be broadcasting your virginity (something only your hubby should discover on wedding night) everywhere and expect no response, good or bad.

Granted, some people overdo amebo, but if fans voted her to be "best dressed actress", "most beautiful actress" and all those other vanities, you can be sure she will lap it up.

You have to take the good with the bad.

Pity that Ibadan has to be hyped here. It shows the sorry state of 9ja.

Considering where Ibadan was in the 1950s, we should be comparing it with Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, etc

But same can be said of Enugu, Benin, Kaduna, Kano, etc. We nor try at all.

This is very good for democracy. More choices and options. We need more of this. More hats in the ring. No one party system.

No party can take things for granted.

JossyOloye:
Confounded people, confounded party. they don't know what's next. will this slogan make the economy progress, they already know that their change agenda has failed, that's why they're suggesting another scam to enslave Nigerians... lol

But when was it ever about progress?? It was about propaganda and power grab. Change has become a toxic word and they know it.

If your car was moving in reverse and you get ever further away from your destination, you will sooner or later realise it. No matter how anyone tries to fool you.

When "progress" gets toxic, what next? "Supersonic speed"?

I hope it's all a joke.

Harwoyeez:
This can't work for now in the present Nigeria. Zoning should not be jettissioned for now

Yep. He has a good point. But How many share his idealism and notion of meritocracy?

Are there not millions from all over Nigeria better qualified than leaders from Balewa to Buhari? Did they get there on merit?

Zik was a bigger dreamer, idealist and patriot than Okorocha can ever hope to be in 100 lifetimes, but we all know how it all ended with Zik. His was a lone voice in the wilderness.

Kgdavid:
How could Oliseh make such a statement? The Federal govt may have failed you but your service was to the nation not the government!

I don't get the sense of entitlement these guys have sometimes... even when we play 5 a side here or a full 11-11 game we play our hearts out. Not because of the hope of cars or houses or acknowledgement but simply for the love of the game.

Why can't you just play the game and be grateful for the opportunity to have represented Nigeria?

Hahahaha! You are trying to force patriotism. No you cannot.

For most, 9ja is a nightmare they hope to wake up from one day. Like Soviet Union.

People sha.

So he entered secondary school while still in the womb. Since all documents are still valid.

Aguyi Ironsi acts and greed for power was/is part if not the main cause of Nigeria's problem, whereby people in government want to get to top even if it means killing their follow country men and expect people to worship them for it.
For his actions dia was a reaction, an eye for an eye makes Nigeria go blind sha.

Do you even know how the coup happened?

I will ask you to read Alhaji Shehu Shagari's biography. At least he's Fulani whose leaders were killed. You would not expect him to exonerate Ironsi if indeed he was involved in the coup. Please read it.

Because Shagari was in Balewa's cabinet. And he was there the moment members of the cabinet signed over the govt to Ironsi to maintain security in the land. It was done on a piece of paper.

If Iron had planned to overthrow, he would have prepared a typed handover document for the surviving cabinet members to sign but he did not.

History is there to read.

Ironsi's error was to believe that centralising power and giving Northerners key roles in govt would placate them AND not quickly trying/jailing/court-marshalling the coup plotters. That was it.

Read also Lt-Gen. Jeremiah Useni's interview on how they killed Ironsi. He never ever accused Ironsi of any coup.

There were rumours that Northern emirs due to meet Ironsi in Ibadan (according to Useni) in that July meeting were to be massed murdered. Something very unfeasible in Nigeria. But the killing of Bello & Balewa made it look believable. But the emirs were not politicians & we all know how traditional rulers are revered throughout the country. So why massacre them? But paranoia was now everywhere.

If Ironsi meant to mass murder emirs (one of whose sons, Col. Katsina he made governor of N. Region) how would that stabilise Ironsi's govt?

And why would he go to a "massacre meeting" with his own son visiting from London?

We should not twist history for political reasons.

ok
