SalamRushdie:
Buhari has clearly lost control of his govt to the extent his thieving SGF doesn't know who the presidency is again

Stop twisting facts OK.
Must u find every excuse to insult the President?? Smh

Abeg e Don do. Shebi he has been suspended. Why rub it in?? Nobody holy pass sha

seguno2:
Please point out the politics in the simple questions that I raised.
If you are unable to answer as they expose the rottenness of your idol, I will advise you to move on quietly.

Your questions are both biased and pathetic
Keep wailing, bubu dont get your time!

I think its time to boycott this spoilt kid

Him and his brother have no manners!

seguno2:
Have you also seen his assets declaration that he promised?
Or his personal income tax returns since 2015?
Anyway, if he cannot disclose how much of our foreign exchange he spent on his two months jamboree of treatment in London, we should not expect any transparency from the changed changers.
How can you fight corruption without transparency?

Cool down.
Everything is not politics. ok.

Chuksonyeike:
suspension is not enough.Mr Oke must be immediately arrested and prosecuted!!! anything short of this smells cover up.Suspension with full benefits just like Obasanjo did for the late AIG Raphael Ige is balderdash!!!! we must uncover the real owner of the most notorious apartment 7B

That is not how Government works. You cant punish someone before investigations are concluded even if u caught him red handed. There is process and procedure for everything

Lols

BlackNigerian:
I must apply for the next customs job opening

Hope u know their pay is poor. It's only those at the top and those engaging in illegality that become super rich.

Useless silly childish lies. Only gullible slow morons will believe this heap of cow dung. If fg wants u dead, my brother, no 6 policemen can save u. Remember bola Ige??

Now face governance and stop shopping for pity by spreading lies

[[s]quote author=shikshark post=55430147]9/11 is the greatest conspiracy ever was in the history of U.S, mavin bush (president's brother) was then the owner of the security outfit protecting the twin towers, explosions were heard at the basement on the day of the so called terrorist attack, there are several withnesses that claimed they heard explosions and they all died similar deaths. (suicide)
rumour has it that the builders of the twin towers discovers it might not outlast its presumed lifespan but the insurance company will be on the losing end.
invariably the CEO of the insurance conpany is a friend of mavin bush and thats why explosives could be sneaked into the building unchecked and unchallenged.
The idea is this, the twin building was not insured against terrorist attack and the best is to bring it down, claim terrorism and the insurance company fold its hands.
Fortunately, it worked but too many lives were lost.
if you noticed, the two towers were attacked from the sides, and both collapsed like an implosion, there is not enough jet fuel that could weaken the building infractructure if not supported with an explosive.
pentagon was just a distraction, they had it all planned.
finally, osama bin laden will be flexing in cuba by now with new identity and new face.[/quote][/s]

This is nothing but bullocks!
Conspiracy theories with no iota of truth or fact. It's sounds extremely ridiculous

There is no way any American president or politician will kill 3000 for insurance money. Makes no sense! And no, Osama Bin Laden is dead as a doornail

No. We need thinkers, and degrees are the best and only methods of determining who the best thinkers are. Unless you have another method instead of throwing around good sounding words like "creativity" and "out of the box". What does that even mean, and how is it measured? It can't be measured so it's irrelevant to even mention.

How can a non graduate, compare to someone who spent 7 years of his/her life asking and answering questions on a university level on the way to a PhD or other degrees. You realize that learning about politics, Philosophy, social sciences, and all other parts of life are ALL part of the journey of classes on the way to a graduate degree right?

I'm not saying graduates are perfect. I'm saying electing graduates is the best way to eliminate a large portion of the ineptness seen in a non graduate candidate like Buhari.[/quote][/s]

Many of the greatest people in this world either never went to school or are simply drop outs. With your 7 years u spent in school, you cannot even be assured of a job let alone become president of the country. Why? Because school is not a true test of intelligence. Many sleep, cheat, block or cram their way through school. Often times the best student in class is not the most intelligence, but who can give the lecturer exactly what he gave him back.

Knowledge does not equate to wisdom or intelligence, and certainly doesn't make up for a morally bankrupt, greedy and self-centered disposition. All the looters and convicted felons in Nigeria all went to school.

WhiteSoup:
What has the current government done for the country in 2 years?

Fought Boko haram
Fought corruption
Increased external reserves ($4billion in this first quarter alone)
Restored investors faith in nigeria
Highest power generated since Nigeria's existence

Need I go on.......

WhiteSoup:
Is Buhari better?

Yes. A thousand times over

Nnamdi kanu Shld never be released. Let him die in kuje. Nonsense

WhiteSoup:
DO YOU NEED SAINTS TO RULE NIGERIA?

Give me your combination let's open their files.

OMG! Seriously Wow this nation is in trouble

[s]

TheStronghold:
Nigerians, we can only blame ourselves for our hardships. Nigeria is a democracy, not a dictatorship or monarchy. So when we find ourselves in a recession, we can only blame ourselves. Why? Because we elected an absolutely inept, uneducated, military head, as the head of a country in the 21st century. The time has long expired for military heads to be presidents, in this 21st century. And we're now seeing exactly why that is. Buhari doesn't understand economics, he doesn't understand development, he hasn't studied law on a university or doctoral level, he isn't anything close to being a scientist or analytically minded, he brings absolutely nothing valuable to the table. And we elected him as president. All of this can be said of Goodluck Jonathan as well. Were truly idiots.

The former president of the USA Obama received degrees from Columbia and Harvard, two of the best universities in the world. The prime Chancellor of Germany studied Physics in undergraduate, and has a PhD in Quantum Mechanics. Even Trump received a degree from arguably the best business university in the world, Wharton. Buhari, a military general, and a man who is clearly out of his league intellectually compared to other world leaders.

So never again, this cannot happen. We must learn our lesson by 2023 and promote intelligent, experienced leaders as a presidential candidates. I have made a list, but first I will state the criteria for my list.

1. You must have an undergraduate AND a graduate degree (PhD or Masters.) to qualify as president.

2. You must have a minimum of 8 years of experience in governing or jobs related to government.

3. You obviously have to be Nigerian and qualified to run for president.


The goal of this is to bring our BEST AND BRIGHTEST forward, Buhari is not our best, and no where close to being our brightest. Now with that being said, here are my proposing candidates for president in 2023, in no particular order.


Ogbonnayu Onu

While in the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Onu was the President of the African Students Union; Member, Graduate Assembly of the University of California, Berkeley and also the President of the Nigerian Association of Northern California, Inc.

As you can see, Nigerians have PLENTY of capable, intelligent people to lead this country forward. I don't hate, or love Buhari, but there is no way we can allow a person like him to become the president of Nigeria ever again.

What are your suggestions for president in 2023 (or 2019)? Comment below, but remember, don't bring any dummy to lead Nigeria into the ground.

[/s]


Sorry but u are one of Nigeria major problem. This worship and slavery to degree certificate has no bearing with good leadership. We had a supposed Ph. D holder who ended up running the country to the ground.

What we need is people who can think outside the box and who are creative. Buhari might not have been the best man for the job but he was definitely the better of the two candidates. And in his own way, he is trying. There is no magic button to fix Nigeria.

Olufemi66:
Abeg, weytin you be? Commentator or Dundi?

Do u want to be blocked?
Don't ever attempt to insult me OK.

Just strange how this man became a governor. One of the worst dumbest leaders in Niger delta. Smh

But they are the first to criticize and abuse Magu.

tstx:
This is Nigeria for Christ sake... a failed state.... Of course we are going to continue like this...


and yes, we the Nigerian youths are so unfortunate to have been sent down here by the creator

[/s]

Stop nagging and get your butt of the chair and into the farm
Stop waiting for imaginary employer to employ you and give u money

Kakamorufu:
Make i run apply

you are not applying for anything, rather registering as a jobless youth

midehi2:
nice one, mine was successful cos i need a government job too

so u are jobless?? and you are here 24/7 abusing buhari


kikikikiki

He should be de-robed asap!

BeardedMeat:
How many times do you know when a higher court disregarded the position of the lower courts? Will this be the first time effc is shamed in court? Rather than hoping on an appeal, advise your deaf president to invest more in training and retraining his prosecutors cos they are incompetent. Mtcheew!

Be quiet kiddo

bnovative:
Justice Ademola of the federal High court
has just been discharged and acquitted of
corruption charges brought against him by
the Buhari-led government.
Recall that the government had arrested
and charged him to court with so much
fanfare. But now, the court has decided
what we have always known -that the
government has no case against him at
all. They were just doing their usual
fanfare to cajole the gullible into believing
that Buhari is fighting corruption.
The court ended the case at the 'no case'
level. What this means is that having seen
what the prosecution presented as
evidence, the court did not even bother
to call on the accused to open his
defense. There was no need for the
accused to lead evidence. The evidence
presented by prosecution showed that
'no case' was made out against the
accused. The prosecution did not show
anything that would warrant the court to
ask the accused to open his defence.
There is no prima facie case ,as we say it.
The court specifically held that the federal
government's case was based on
suspicion and the need to show that they
are fighting corruption. Nothing else.
Courts dont convict based on suspicion,no
matter how strong.
What of all those,including some lawyers,
who wanted Justice Ademola to resign as
a result of government's accusation? What
can they say now? If he had left his job
,What would have happened now that he
has been proven innocent by a court of
competent jurisdiction?
I dont know of justice Ademola. If I was
in his shoes there is no way I would not
sue this idiotic government for malicious
prosecution. Not all cases that ends at 'no
case' shows malicious prosecution. But
this one shows it.
You don't charge someone ,whose job
depends so much on reputation ,to court
based on mere suspicion of corruption.
You must have some serious evidence.
Buhari is merely using Efcc and other
agencies to target his political enemies
and judges who are not 'friendly' .

[/s]

Wait till d prosecution appeals
I know you don't like Buhari. You prefer to support corruption, you that is a serial applicant. Smh

CROWNWEALTH019:
Says who ?

CROWNWEALTH019:

The last hope of the common man

Bcoz u hate Buhari Abi. Lol
You think u are doing anybody. Nigeria is becoming a lawless state

What kind of stupid useless judge is this
seriously Since when did judges start paying attention to online gossip??
This is just pathetic!

kabayomi:
Oil prices falling
Reserves dwindling
What we should ask ourselves - is this sustainable?

When the thing start to go up like rocket our eye go clear

Please dont say rubbish. Nigerian foreign reserves appreciated by $4Billion in this first quarter.
If you dont know something, be quiet ok

DamiBukola:
Who appointed DSS DG, Daura?

Nothing reasonable can come out from Daura! I cannot wait for 2019 to see what your likes will campaign with

[/s]

2019 will come and you will still be here on NL, typing trash.
We will go out and vote Buhari in over and over again. If u like wail till high heavens

CROWNWEALTH019:
you better wake up from cancerous sleep

You are the one in meningitis+cancerous+HIV sleep

factsandfigures:
So the question is why is PMB still keeping the Head of DSS...Do we need another definition of not being in charge?

Well first of all, you are not the President and so you dont have access to the same info that he does
Secondly, its not necessarily the head of DSS thats the issue
