ballabriggs: You see the government is a joke as this government has a flawed communication strategy. It's communication strategy is all about propaganda and not trying to "paint Jona black" whilst it relegate citizens engagement which is important in a democratic society.

How exactly do you feel reading in the papers that 160 of your citizens died without an official position from the government? What it does is to create more panic as the citizens have no clear understanding of what is going on.

I will give you an example. Historically, it was thought that when there are signs of a ship sinking, it was appropriate not to let the passengers know. However, what we understand today is the passengers will eventually know and when these passengers know, it creates more confusion on the ship as they may even get the wrong information. Today we emphasise on providing information and communicating on ships and prepare them for evacuation if the situation worsens. Transparency and communication.

Bring that to our lives here. Why do we not know exactly what is going on? Why are our citizens dying and no one seems to be telling us anything? Who is responsible for providing us with this information and who has been concealing this information?

The ideal thing should be tell us what is going on, what you are doing to stop it and tell us how to get involved to bring the situation to an end. Communication and transparency are important principles of governance. This should not necessarily come from the Presidency but the Ministry of Information, NTA and FRCN. Engage is the right strategy.

If you see the way the Kenyan defence forces, their Police, interior ministry were engaging their citizens on twitter during the siege. It becomes right to ask questions about our own leaders.

However, addressing the protesters, Commissioner for Information and strategy, Aderemi Ibirogba and his counterpart in the ministry of pension and establishment, Mrs. Florence Oguntuase, assured that government was working hard to address the pensioners’ grievance.

According to Oguntuase: “We are working hard to ensure that the funds are paid but it is yet to yield the required result.

MiguelMi6: Fools definitely don't understand that statement.What he meant by "For you to fix the world,you have to fix Nigeria,For you to fix Africa,you have to fix Nigeria".It's just a mere saying to remind Obama,That Nigeria Remains a force to reckon with on the African Continent.Africa's Greatness and power must be attributed to Nigeria's role on the Continet.Therefore,Africa is Incomplete without a working and functional Nigeria".Get the tone right.don't criticize him yet.Moreover,this trip has been fruitful from day one,he's spoken more like a president in New York".

Mannylex: That is why the White's would say Africans are angry and barbaric people. Just imagine killing someone for asking you to quit his house, then you burn the house also, wickedness and stupidity is what fills the mind of that couple. If I were a judge, i don't know what sentence I would give to them, but I know it's gonna be gruesome.

eluquenson: It's how much people are spending on party that they will be calculating through a thorough study, no through study on the hell people are going through to pay for Accommodation and Transportation, no thorough study on how effective their useless Tenancy law has been, no thorough study on how much is being spent on media propaganda in Lagos, Wolves in Sheep clothing!

Billyonaire: Jesus will NOT come as you expect, in fact he has come and gone many times after the crucifixion on soul journeys. Soul Journeys the material world and rids itself of all imperfections and become one with God on a closer hierarchy than we less evolved humans are, so is the fate of Jesus and all humans. Millions of you out there are more powerful than Jesus was, and yet do not recognize, cos you pay for attention to neanderthal creed than to Self-Realization.

spikes C: Are you sure it's the ball joint.
Ball joints does not pull off on high speeds because your tires will be straight.
Even if it does, the car will brake automatically by itself due to friction, and yes, you can even apply brakes too.

wellmax: AHHHh.
From what I can see, the TAX guys were obviously trying to create a scene. But that church guy in suit...hmmm, is he a christian at all? He took things too far. No matter the provocation, you need to be gentle with TAX collectors.
