But I think they said this man is a Pastor, or is he a fake pastor? If he claimed to be a pastor, has he forgotten what the Bible says about those to work with God in Ist Timothy 3: 1-4, that a Pastor should be the husband of one wife? and there is no place for divorce in Christiandom

This man want to maintain his integrity, unlike one Adesina who always insault his father's mate in the name of defending a plate of food from a failed government. Sometimes, we Yorubas will claim we are educated and wise, but when given position we betray our intelligent.

You claimed you floged elderly people, don't you know you have dug your grave, because you will soon face the consequences.

Retaining Abba Kyari in his position shows the level of love the president has for Nigerians, him as a petrolleum minister need not wait until people stating agitating for removal of a single man who made life unbearable for over 200 millions Nigerians, even if the man had bewiched Mr. President he cannot do that to all Nigerians, that is why people will demand for his removal by force.

My concern is why are the eminent Nigerians who withstood even Abacha like Prof. Jerry Gana and other G 34 members, who comforted dictatorship at that time, for how far can we go with this mis governance, and all our heroes are watching this country going to extinction through untold hardship while our so called leaders are flying up and down aimlessly.

Our law enforcement agents will not follow after them, even when they show themselves on social media, but the protesters who are exercising their constitutional right will be pursued with all military might, and their accounts traced and frozen, but those that use the same bank to collect ransoms will not be touched, this indicates that life of ordinary Nigerians did not matter to them, but their seats.

Mr retired judge, this is possible when Nigeria was good, and have disciplined leaders. All positions will be advertised and kinkly contested, and qualified applicant employed. But in a situation when you park your family members full judiciary, how would ordinary persons who don't have a self centered parent like you get opportunity to excel. This is how you so called leaders have bastardise our society. Be sure someone will come and remove your family members you favourably gave employment at the expense of more qualified Nigerians.

I totally agreed with you, some of you are diligent and risking your life daily, but some bad eggs among you are tarnishing your image, also your oga on top, instead of being loyal to Federal republic of Nigeria, their loyalty is with the politicians who always direct them to do dirty job for them.

When it comes to what benefit the common man, the money will not be available, they will be sourcing here and there, but when they want to buy yatch, jets, SUVs or renovation of undilapidated residence, attending jamboree in the name of conference etc, money will be made available and no one will know the source.

I expect this type of decision from NANS and other well meaning Nigerians, this what gives Professor glitch to manipulate elections leading many self centered leaders being produced. Thank God for Peace Committee led by respected Nigerian leaders in person of former head of State Abdulsalam Abubakar and Bishop Kuka. In any income election, they should go beyond indicting inec for not follow the procedures set for election, but should be made to sign an undertaking by its chairman, that they will abide with election rules, as political parties always sign for peaceful election, because there will not be peace without justice.

World bank and IMF will keep mute now, when it come to masses, you will never hear them advise our government at all levels to expedite action on implementation of minimum wage, but they will quick to advise them to remove subsidy, flow naira, increase electricity tariff, increase cost of education, but never talk about stealing of government resources through corrupt practices. Perhaps because they are quite sure that this will leave more money in the hand of our corrupt leaders who are their collaborator to be embezzled and bring it back to their domestic economy either through hidden saving or buying of properties.

Is high time north should move from regional and ethnic sentiment and talk about development in Nigeria as a whole. They are all there when buhari took us backward, with his bad policies, they never get time then to gather for the development of North, but whenever any southerner is in power, they will now gang up against him. They will fail in this venture this time, because southerner failed to know their scheme, that is why the southerners join them to send Jonathan away, but now we are wise, that will not happen

Honestly, Nigerian politicians need to visit psychiatrist hospital for their brain to be checked if it functions normally. They claimed the plane is an old one of 19 years, if that is the argument, they would have gone for the one that is less than 5 years, but what is the difference between 19 and 14 years.

The criminals ruling this country never tire of their shameful act, how would someone tell us that they are selling price of it cost them and still claim there is no subsidy. Do they think everybody is fool like them? It is Nigeria a government officials will give figure without statistical evidence. All the billions of Naira and Dollars MD of NNPCL claimed is for subsidy, d did he gave us any figure of quantity impact and price par litre, can import document be verified against it, can ship and insurance manifest proved the figure? Can Nigeria custom confirm the payment of appropriate import duties paid. The official always like to claim unsubstantiated value, and those in authority approved without asking questions. This is what is know as conspiracy of elite, what make Nigeria democracy to be government of elite, for the elite and by the elite.

Why is ECOWAS leaders thinking from their anus, when people of these countries were celebrating for being let out of the troubles of fraudulent democracy of an electoral fraud, and master servant of elected officers and electorate, they came together and were shouting that they will face war, now if war actually broken out then, thank God for our Senate who stood their grand against this wasteful venture, would they now have any audacity to negotiate for their return?

There is nothing to celebrate about the statement, because the directive was vague, no specific number, they can all as well pack themselves there and claimed that all have one role or the other to play in the meeting. Even if not a country that is full with hypocrite, this is normal official routine that needs no announcement, but because of insincerity of our leaders, it makes it to be a news.

What I believe is that any weapon fashioned against Nigeria, in for of hunger, hardship and suffering shall not prosper in Jesus Mighty name. Whoever initiate and implement it will see the wrath of God, and such a government will not last.

The questions that beg answer include; why must the loan be paid to schools? What of if some criminal school management failed to pay it to beneficiary students? Or do we think this is impossible in Nigeria of today? Also on the upkeep aspect of the loan, why must it be paid bit by bit, what of if an institution failed to remit it to students on time? The legal implication is that you pay through school management, when the pay back period is due, is it the same institution that will collect it back? This are some of the lapses that I foresee will occur very soon.

Honestly speaking, Nigeria rulers need their head examined, if they are in a right state of mind. How would someone who called himself speaker of house of rep, who never sponsor any bill that generate public interest, we have his voice load by presenting a bill about who failed to sing national anthem. Upon all the problem bedeviling this country, singing national anthem is the priority of this set of useless people. Bandit are killing many innocent Nigerians, hardship, suffering and hunger is evidence in the face of many Nigerians, no legislation to solve these problems, but national anthem is their main concern. Many heads of agencies were invited to answer corruption allegation against them, they ignored the invitation of a corrupt legislators, they cannot make law to even put them in one month jail, but propose 10 years jail for those who fail to sing an anthem. Mr. Speaker should tell Nigeria if it is those that embezzled public fund and embark on borrowing journey that put us into our present predicament or those who failed to sing an anthem. If failure to sing national will attract 10 years jail, what of those that change their nationality from Nigeria to other country, you people would have made a law for death penalty.

The reason why Nigeria is not progressing is that, most government officials behaved the way they like without consequences. In an ideal society, before this news will be broken to the public, all the heads of these ministries and agencies that are involved suppose to be behind bar. Technology is meant to check fraud, but in Nigeria, those that are directly in charge of it will be the one to sabotage it. Apart of this ghost workers issue, even our income generating agencies, will collect revenue on behave of government and first deduct all fraudulent expenses then pay the balance to government purse. A typical example is NNPC, who sells our crude, the used all proceed as subsidy payment, instead of first paying the money into government purse, then apply for refund of subsidy. They also claimed they borrow 3 billion Dollars to strengthened our naira, and pay back through crude oil supply, the question is, who negotiated it? Does Nigeria get best credit term out of it? A single person will sit down with few foreign collaborator to mortgaged the life of unborn generation. This is the way most of these agencies operate,

One uncultured among them was calling Baba Obasanjo a liar, but I rebuked him here in this forum, and I said, time will tell when the the face of actual liar will be unfold. One thing that can never be hidden is truth, that why Yoruba proverb said, " bi iro ba lo ni ogun odun, ojo kan ni otito yoo ba" meaning if lying last for 20 years, truth will catch up with it in just one they, they are shameless they still deny their colleagues. These people feel Nigerians are as fool as they were, if not foolishness, how would you lie on something that is not hidden. Even if it is not officially revealed, unofficial everybody know, for someone will prepare the voucher, a bank will credit the account etc, how do you now expect those information to be hidden if not foolishness.

In as much as the act of disrespect for our flag is condemnable by individual, government also is guilty of this, because some youths held our national flag at lekki, but our security agents did not respect the flag before descended heavily on them, can we them say with all honesty that they respect our flag?

The same person who was negotiating ordinary Nigeria workers, with 2 to 3 thousand naira addition after long period of strike and protest, now increased that of judges by 300% without asking for it. As some people have said, only a fool will failed to realize that it is legitimate pay back period for them after hundred of million of Dollars they received as bribe as it was alleged. Even am yet to comprehend what legacy the outgoing CJN is going to leave behind, because it was during his tenure that we have so may contradicting judgments, where justice for the highest bidder, and judges do not judge according to our laws, because if they do, we will not have all the contradicting judgments in injunctions being dash out by them. Hope the incoming CJN will sanitise the system.

He thinks everyone is like PitObi the bitter election loser.

GEJ is not an immature Politician.

Well, one can never compare a full blooded man to one that talks like a little girl.

So Bihari also was immature when he refused to attend the meeting during OBJ and Jonathan administration. What the commenter was saying was Jonathan behaves like a timid person, he has never lent his view to any issue in Nigeria, one wander what type of advice he will give in secrets. OBJ is no nonsense person, he doesn't associate with government of lies, propaganda and deceit, as we have in APC.

It is well said, El Mustapha, but this is only happened in an ideal society, not in ours, where a contestant will claim he we snatched it and run away with it, well known to him that a professor of glitch is waiting to assist him. But all these will be checked in the nest election, any professor glitch at that time will failed woefully in their enterprise.

Baba Obasanjo has said it all, many of our rulers today suppose to be behind the bar. They are so wicked and less concerned about people's welfare. Even the so called palliatives only go to them not the masses through back door, how would you make policies that brought hunger, suffering and hardship, and instead of reversing it you are talking of palliatives, for how long are you going to give handout to people. These people are playing gods, they forgot that, God has created a law of natural justice and sowing and reaping, which will definitely backfire on them, their families and cronies.

I would have love people to say end inec rigging in their protest, instead of end bad governance, because bad governance came as a result of bad elections, that is why someone can tell those he invited that he used his money to win the election, not that people voted for him. So Amadi is right that it is inec and judiciary that gets that bribe money. That is the reason why bad policies that bring hardship to electorate was not reversed, he even went to Dubai to boost that he will make such anti peoples' policies at another time, because they want to accumulate more money for future bribe to win elections.

THIS IS JUST A TIP OF INSENSITIVE LEADERSHIP RECKLESSNESS TO MENTIONED FEW

Totally in agreement with all above statements, and Mr President speech failed to address any of the above, which makes the insinuation that the President is disconnected with the people to be true.

You the politicians in Nigeria are the cause of our economic woos, not global pandemic or recession, due to following reasons;
1. You told us economic is bad, we should endure hardship, but you people purchased suvs worth 160 for nearly 500 people, with each of you taking millions of naira as monthly salary, who is fooling who.
2. You use 21 billions naira to provide accommodation for someone who is not even homeless, or what happen to where his predecessor stayed, if not that we have more money to be wasted on his accommodation.
3. You told us no money, but you took thousand of people to Dubai for a jamboree, which you called conference, does this action represent lack of money in our economy.
4. The president and his wife are traveling abroad separately with large number of people including their biological children, who has no business to be included in the journey, is this also a symbol of learn purse?
5. Buying two presidential jets at the same time to add to many that existed in the presidential fleets, is a sign that the government is broke, that people should endure suffering, why they flying around the world without any purpose.
6. Mr. Kalu, you said government has increased capital spending to boost the economy, did you not remember that in Nigeria, capital projects constitute a linkage in our economy, because for these two reason;
i. The cost of capital projects is highly inflated in this country, to the extend that it cost more than five times of the actual cost in Nigeria, compared to any part of the world, which mean 80% of the cost goes to private purse instead of the economy.
ii. Also, these projects mostly are awarded to friends, crones and family members who in most cases executed the project poorly or may not even execute the project at all, and they receive 100% cost of the projects, these are some of few reasons, in which many are still hidden to common man, that makes the apostle of economic is bad everywhere not to be tenable among Nigeria masses. Mr. Kali, did you see the video going round recently of Burkina Faso military president who lunched mobile health care vehicles for rural people, then bought latest SUVs 2024, for doctors in that country who will go to those places, but he himself, using 2011 Toyota Hillux and these are the people the ECOWAS members what to sanction, that are meeting the needs of their people and sacrifice their own comfort for their people, not as we have here, where we are asked to make sacrifice, but they are living extravagant lives.

Mr Kalu, or what did you call yourself, as long as God lives, you and your entire family that supported you in this statement without rebuking you for it will be wasted in Jesus name. People are suffering, and you are there making laws to enrich your self, you now say if we talk through demonstration, we will be wasted, then what is the essence of our democracy, even during the undemocratic military rule, people demonstrated.

It is a pity that the most civilised state in Nigeria; Lagos, has turn to a state where thugs and oro cult activities has been other order of the day, all due to the selfish ambition of one man.

Mr governor, resign if you cant pay, let a leader that had vision take over from you. Minimum wage is constitutional issue after all over a year ago, your monthly allocation had tripled, what have you been doing with it since, or you want to pay yourself children school fees in advance in Dollars, and embezzled over 80 billion naira as alleged with your predecessor. If state government dont have money, we will not be hearing of billions being embezzled on daily basis.
