The dullest and most foolish secret serrvice in the world is DSS.

they do not have the word ''CLASSIFIED'' in their operations

You announce you are looking for me on media. will that not allow me hide almost all evidence before you arrive.

will i not go to bank, withdraw all monies and close the accounts.

you arrested 5 judges and told us you have 8 more on your watch list. will that not make all judges square up and hide evidence in their villages.

I am tired of media trials. you have not been able to convict any serious thief because you dont work well on intel and gather evidence.

i tire abeg

Ok

this country will move forward when we emphasise looking forward than looking back

OK

Mention one politician or public office holder in Nigeria that is not corrupt. It's a wack system embedded in systemic corruption.

We are almost irredeemable.

Wait till Buhari finish and hear what public officers looted under him.

It's not even the budget stolen that worries me. BUT all the billion we hear were recovered and we are borrowing.

Take it or leave it. Fulani will never forgive Fayose....They never forgive.

A lot will be planned up north on what to do to him when his tenure is over.

Ok na

Sadly so but difficult to admit. what an audacity by Buhari's daughter

Only people who suffer personal deception will personally deceive themselves in 2019 to vote Buhari.

The least his government could have done was ensure food price remained stable. If you can't change Nigeria why not maintain the economic status quo.

Ok

OK NA

Imagine bokoharam having a free ride in Borno in 8 vehicles. is that not a convoy. yet Bokoharam has been defeated.

The media has suddenly stopped reporting aggresivelly the happenings in that region. Not that Bokoharam has receded in any for.

how can negotiation with Bokoharam be going on and both army and Bokoharam are bombing each other. who then is negotiating? Beleive this government at your own peril.

Here was my position when the 21 girls were released

I don't think we have heard all there is about these girls being paraded as Chibok girls.

Here are my questions. Nd if you have answers provide.

1. Anywhere in the world, when negotiations begin...There is a ceasefire between waring and opposing side. On monday Bokoharam bombed in Maiduguri killing 9 and Bokoharam was negotiating.
Tuesday Nigerian Airforce was bombing sambisa and smoking out Bokoharam members. Yet, we were told they were negotiating.

2. How can 21 girls of Chibok come back and there is no jubilation in Chibok, no picture of an excited mother trekking to Abuja to come and embrace her daughter after 2 years.

3. Lai Mohammed said nothing was exchanged for their release. Another news said 4 commanders of Bokoharam were released.


5. Chibok school, no news of excitement from those in school now that some of their seniors have been released.

6. You claimed you brought them back and flew them to Abuja where it will make news and took them to DSS clinic where they will not have the press take a close look and ask few questions. I never knew that DSS clinic is the best to rehabilitate emotionally wounded people.

7 Almost 100 found or escaped now, still no interview. Each one is spiritedoff to Sudan and some other country for "education."

No really, no pastor is using one to boast that the mother came to him topray andhis prayers worked HALLELUJAH! No alfa or Jazzman .

8. In another 2 weeks the 21 girls will disappear into thin air with no trace for interview like others before them.
All I know is that days and months ahead will reveal more.

9. How come none of the girls can speak even pigin English.

Feeders from Nigerian military says they are not aware any Chibok girls were released. And they have chosen to maintain their fight in North East. No Nigerian high ranking military officer can boldly tell you they are aware of any negotiation that took place. Only DSS know where they manufactured those village women. You negotiate and no cease fire? Hmmmm

When a lie has been told you need many more lies to sustain the former.
To whom head is given. Brain is required.

My Opinion.

Ok

[quote author=dustmalik post=50259947]So we should forget about the chibok girls simply because others have died in the hands of boko haram? Are you okay, Mr. Hater?[/quotell

Woow, you certainly have a problem with comprehension. Read more and seek help.

Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun...supposed Good news

I am far left in my paradigm but please excuse me for that.

I would like to ask. What is special about Chibok girls. What makes them better than every other captive under Bokoharam enclave.

47 students were murdered by Bokoharam in a government secondary school and we have forgotten them even when their parents still mourn.

Should we also forget the 18 women abducted by Bokoharam in Konduga born state. Are those ones back? The 21 Fulani men also abducted by Bokoharam for which their wives and children are groaning now. Are they back? Many people have returned but many more are still in captivity. If not for political colourations, what is special about Chibok girls? What makes them better than all others who are also in Bokoharam captivity.

Now take a look at this, 21 was released this week. They are now willing to release 82 in less than a week. What was the agreement reached to release 21 that they couldn't reach to release all. All though Lai Mohammed maintains nothing was exchanged. Are Bokoharam now born again suddenly? Which wind blew in Sambisa in the last week that these girls are released in batches like Jamb result.

The political move is that they want us to believe that all the girls will be released before the end of the year. Once they achieve that. They will close the chapter on all who are still captive with Bokoharam.

Note that Bring Back our girls group has put them under pressure in the last 6 months and their reactions towards the group has generated high criticsms. Hence this quick fix.

Have you watched the entire interview Buhari granted DW TV in Germany. The guy asked him, what was exchanged for the release of the 21 Chibok girls. Our president said he doesn't know how the negotiations went and what was exchanged. He said the girls were released the day he left Nigeria for Germany. Our commander in chief doesn’t know what was used in Negotiations with Bokoharam. This buttresses Aishas claim that some cabal are in charge. In fact he sounded surprise that the girls were released.

I will look for that full interview and upload here.

I pray that all Nigerians who are in captivity returns safely. May God console families still hurting for their losses to Bokoharam

Days ahead will reveal the ultimate truth of the schemes, schisms and power play. Fear the Daura secret Service.

Have you noticed that Buhari meets with everyone else but Tinubu. So long as South West is concerned. Tinubu will dominate that region for a long while.

If Buhari detach himself from Tinubu, he has lost southwest.

A combo of Tinubu, Mimiko, Fayose, FFK, Odumakin will wreck Buhari in South west in 2019.

GEJ was booted out by the instrumentality of the media propaganda in 2015 and truth is southwest has the media in Nigeria. Media shapes political opinions and perceptions.

The problem with PMB is that he is fighting on so many fronts at same time.

Bokoharam, Naija Delta, Tinubu, His wife, Judiciary, senate leadership.
A smart politician carefully selects his fight. PMB is not one.

The backwardness, ineptitude, bigotry and paedophilia.

Just name it.

you should be employed as special adviser to the president on speech etiquette and reasoning

Lol. Thanks. I can't work with PMB though. He is highly obstinate. The Daughter from the first wife which happened to be my class mate in school told me the father is very stubborn and never listens. How do you advice such a man.

Aisha is suffering what her mum went through. Why will you marry a woman you won't listen to. At leaSt in some matters. You sent your wife to school and now reduce her to kitchen keeper. Who does that in this age

Oh my wife could be very spontaneous but I understand the recession is biting Hard and there are complains here and there. She shares in our pain.

We are working hard to fix Nigeria. Brush it politically and move on. Real men don't reply when their wives are angry.

THE JUDGES' ABDUCTION AND THE PUERILE LIES FROM THE DSS:

Regardless of your political affiliation, if you have any stake in the country called Nigeria, last Friday night's abduction of Judges of the High Court, Appeal Court and Supreme Court by Operatives of the Nigeria Secret Police known as the DSS over allegation of corruption should give every Nigerian a cause for concern.

The barbaric manner the whole operation was conducted suggests that rather than an attempt to cleanse the judiciary of corrupt Judges, it was a clear case of vendetta by the Muhammadu Buhari-led executive arm of the government against another independent arm.

A betting man would bet that this is nothing but a ploy to get back at some judges who have given unfavourable judgements against the APC like in the elections petition cases, the DSS as in the case of Nnamdi Kanu where Justice Ademola ordered the DSS to release the IPOB leader unconditionally and the Executive arm of government in general like the ongoing corruption cases where judges have refused to do Buhari's bidding of jailing suspects even without enough evidence.

Personally, I am not even pained by the actual act of breaking the doors to the houses of sitting Judges and abducting them in the middle of the night as much as I am pained by the moronic, imbecilic, idiotic and puerile defense put up by the DSS as justification for their action.

If the DSS guys had not insulted our intelligence further with that trash they released in the name of press statement to justify their action, I would have just taken this as just another of Mr Buhari's tyranny.

But no, the DSS had to prove they actually think our brains are all in recession by releasing that bundle of badly constructed, terribly packaged puerile lies known as press statement.

Let's look at the so called defense put up by the DSS:

First, they said it was a sting operation, yet, thesame DSS claimed the affected Judges have been previously invited to their offices and questioned.

I am putting it to the DSS that it is either they do not know the meaning of a sting operation or they think we, Nigerians, do not know the meaning.

For avoidance of doubt, a sting operation is a deceptive operation aimed at catching a person in the act of committing a crime. It usually involve a law enforcement officer or a cooperative member of the public posing as a criminal partner or a potential victim to the targeted 'suspect' with a view to encouraging the target to go on with the criminal act so he could be caught in a red-handed position committing the crime.

This method is commonly used by the FBI with recorded audio and video evidence of the said target committing the said crime.

There are two things we need to take out here: One is that it is designed primarily to catch the target in the act of committing the said crime with more than enough audio and video evidence such that even if you were to allow the suspect try himself as the judge, he will have no choice but to convict himself due to the volume of watertight evidence at your disposal.

And two, the targets are never aware that they are even under investigation. If you tip the target off by inviting him for questioning before or in the middle of the sting operation, you will have defeated the purpose of the operation as such a target will now take extra measures to cover his track having known you are now on his trail.

From the above, it can be deduced that it is either the DSS were lying to themselves or they were lying to us. Either way, they were not being honest when they claimed the illegal arrest of the Judges was part of a sting operation and still claimed the judges had been previously invited for questioning in their offices.

Does it not strike anyone as odd that the DSS claimed to have surveilled those judges for months, yet, they ended up raiding the wrong house and beating up an innocent man before realising the warrant they had was for another house??

Also in that press statement, the DSS claimed that the unnamed Portharcourt Judge had $2million in his house even when they clearly stated that the River state governor, Nyesom Wike and his group prevented them (the DSS) from gaining access to the Judge's house and later moved the money.

You are the DSS. You came to Portharcourt to arrest a judge in a Gestapo style at an ungodly hour. The governor being the chief security officer of the state mobilized people and stopped you from carrying out your roguery. You were denied access to the Judge's house. Yet, somehow, you still knew the judge had $2m in his house which was later moved by the governor and "a sister agency" (the police) according to you. This is the 8th wonder of the world!

How did the DSS manage to count the money to know it was $2m since they were prevented from entering the house??

Quite frankly, this would be fantastically funny if it wasn't such a crying shame.

It takes a man whose brain has been in recession from birth to believe these puerile lies from the DSS.

Since the DSS which is statutorily in charge of crimes and actions bothering on national security has become the EFCC responsible for corruption cases, when is the agency moving against President Buhari's chief of staff; Abba Kyari who allegedly collected N500million bribe to help MTN reduce their fine??

When will the DSS conduct another sting operation against the SGF who used 270million just to cut grasses growing around hunger-ravaged malnourished IDPs?? Or has the DSS not heard those cases?

No amount of sophistry will obliterate the fact that the action of the DSS is criminal. You don't invade people's homes in the middle of the night, break their doors as though you were a criminal gang, subject their innocent wives and children to emotional trauma before abducting them only to start bandying around outrageous and mind-blowing figures as the amount you recovered from the criminal operation and expect Nigerians to roll out the drum for you. You cannot break one law to enforce another law.

You cannot knowingly break the law and hope that mentioning earthquakic figures will blind us to your thuggery. It doesn't work that way.

Luckily for me, I don't even have a door. So if they come to abduct me, they won't see any door to break neither will they see any brother to manhandle.

Democracy is all about procedures. There are laid down Procedures in handling cases of corruption cases involving Judges.

The judiciary is an independent arm of govt. As the DSS, you are a branch of the Executive. If you have a case against any judge, you petition the NJC.

It is the NJC that will look into the matter and if it deems your case credible enough, it will retire that judge compulsorily and recommend him/her for prosecution. That is only when you the DSS or the police can institute criminal proceedings against the said Judge.

The biggest tragedy in all of these is hearing some so called youths utter garbage like, "what is a judge doing with $2m in his house?"

Those mentally slow intellectually malnourished simpletons have not seen any $2million ooo. They just heard the DSS say it and that is all.

No proof that any money was even recovered and was actually recovered from those judges. All we have is the word of the DSS and nothing more. Yet, those intellectually kwashiorkored youths are already jumping up and down calling for the heads of those Judges.

These are the same gullible lots who believed 90million pounds was recovered from Diezani Allison Madueke, Billions of naira recovered from a soakaway pit in the house of one service chief, another billions recovered from ex governors in Dubai and yet another billions upon billions of naira recovered from looters but before the eyes of these gullible youths, thesame govt that claimed to have recovered all these monies is now crying that the country is broke.

How gullible can some people be??

This govt knows we have so many gullible youths who would swallow anything hook, line and sinker as long as they hear "corruption" and "billions" or "trillions". So after hearing the condemnation that trailed their action, the DSS quickly went to their coven and came back with their normal line of, "We recovered so so and so billions of naira and millions of dollars in the houses of these judges".

Supposedly well lettered adults want me to believe that learned Justices of the highest court in the land would be so dumb to collect bribe from politicians in hard currencies and still leave those monies in their houses even when they were supposed to know the DSS was on their trail having previously invited them for questioning as claimed by the Agency.

Honestly, some people need to have their certificates withdrawn and the awarding institutions sanctioned.

While you are celebrating this idiocy, just pause and ask yourself: If Justices of the Supreme Court can be humiliated in this manner by the DSS just on mere suspicion, what kind of treatment do you think you, an ordinary man will get from thesame DSS??

Just so we are clear, no one is saying there is no corruption in the judiciary or that corrupt judges should not be prosecuted. All I am saying is that this particular operation by the DSS doesn't seem like an operation against corrupt Judges.

The Buhari administration should stop trying to fool us with the sham that is the anti-graft war. When this government wants to fight corruption, we will know. For now, I have enormous reasons to believe justifiably that this government is still aiding and abetting corruption by friends, families and close associates of president Buhari.

Who released ex-governor Timipre Sylva's 148 houses to him after withdrawing all corruption cases against him simply because he donated generously to Buhari's Presidential campaign?? Who defended General Buratai after SaharaReporters exposed his Dubai properties??

Who aided and abetted stint illegal recruitments into CBN, FIRS etc?? Who is protecting Justice Okon Abang??

C'mmon, we are no fools! When this hurricane that is the Buhari-led APC government wants to fight corruption, we will know. For now, he is doing a great job destroying all the critical institutions upon which Democracy has been built.

Gradually, Buhari is making Tyrants like Idi Amin, Adolf Hitler and others look like saints. Even Stalin's Russia wasn't this bad!!!

The legislature has since been bullied into submission. Now it is the turn of the Judiciary. Perhaps, when he is done destroying the two arms of government that are supposed to checkmate his tyranny, he will now proceed to running the country like a full-blown dictatorship.

I have said it before and it bears repeating now, the glory of democracy is fading away with the unpopular policies of Muhammadu Buhari as the President of Nigeria. People are dying of sufferings and miseries, and God Almighty would judge you and I for continue to pretend about the pains Nigerians are cruelly undergoing.

Argue all you want, lie to yourself if it makes you feel better, call me prophet of doom if that will help cure the economic recession just like your mental recession, but the truth remains that, this country will never survive Buhari's 4 year tenure if we continue on the part of self-destruct by refusing to insist on quality Democratic Tenets and Dividends and speaking truth to our government.

This is less than 2years of this administration but all we have achieved is sinking sands of Recession.

Ask yourself, if it is this bad when we have not even reached half of his 4 year term, how will it be by the time we get to 2019?

Perhaps by the end of Buhari's 4 year term in 2019, if we all don't die of hunger before then, we might be too weak trying to afford one 'unsquare' meal a day that we won't even have the strength to ask Buhari to respect our laws.

May God Almighty continue to Bless Nigeria and may Buhari take corrections so that we can succeed as a Nation.

Patriotism is the act of voting in a Government and helping it to succeed by holding it accountable for the Security and Welfare of the State; that is what I am purposed to serve. May Buhari Succeed Rightfully.

ZanyABC:
NOW THAT THE CONTROVERSY REGARDING THE RECENT 'CRACKDOWN' ON JUDGES IS OVER: WHAT NEXT?
If you have money, you can really take advantage of government in this country. There is too much noise; too much sentiments and little 'intelligent conversation'. At the end of day, everything is swept under the carpet.
Notwithstanding where each of us stood regarding the last saturday's crackdown on judges, I am sure EVERY Nigerian now worries about how to get the judges convicted, if truly they are gulty.
NOW imagine what people are talking about! Let's even assume that the arrest of the judges meets the standard of law, are we going to get them convicted with all these conversation people are having?
What conversations am I talking about? DSS has been releasing 'evidence' against the judges and here are some of them: a list of 'monies' recovered from judges' bedrooms; the fact that a Rolls Royce was found in a judge's compound, the fact that a judge has 15 cars, the fact that a judge has several properties...etc
You call these ones evidence of corruption? DSS must be joking.
In which part of the law is keeping money at home a crime? Even if you keep N200 billion in your house, that in itself is not corruption. It does not take a brilliant lawyer few days to come up with some explanations for you.
In which section of the law is owing a Rolls Royce a crime? There are a thousand and one legitinate ways to own a Rolls Royce. Could be a birthday gift from your daughter's man. Could be proceeds of business. If DSS finds 1000 Rolls Royce in a person's house, that is not proof of corruption. Even if you own all the houses in Nigeria, that is not a crime. We should stop asking people to come and explain how they got XYZ amount of money! That is the easiest way to lose a corruption case.
If this is what you guys did forJames Ibori, Stella Odua, Joshua Dariye, and others, I am not surprised these guys were not convicted. Little wonder all corruption cases don't end up in conviction. If anyone goes to court with peripheral information such as these, no judge will grant a conviction.
The proceed of corruption can be used to buy a bicycle or nothing; and that does change the fact that it is corruption. The proceeds of corruption may have been spent patapata. Meaning even if DSS found no money in the judge's houses, that does not affect a case of corruption in any significant way.
The real evidence we need are evidence of people who paid brides to the judge; the evidence of a go-between; Audio and video record of the process from negotiations to dropping of the cash to the judge. Fundamentally inciminating evidence from the judge call logs to go-betweens, and several other evidence. So far I am yet to see 5% of the evidence needed to establish corruption.
Let's stop talking about Rolls Royce or foreign currencies. That is not how to prove corruption. These are evidence that gives DSS a reasonable suspicion to effect arrest and carry out investigation; that is not the evidence to prove corruption.
I hope this will help our excitement. We always get too excited about weightless information like this. What has happened to Stella Odua, Fayose, Allynson Madueke and many others with all the figures that were put in the media. Gbenga Daniel nko? How about Dimeji Bankole? Assuming Jonathan spared them, why hasn't Buhari convicted any of them?
When the Federal Government sued Saraki and Ekweremadu for forgery, I remember stating it on this platform on my Wall that the evidence are not sufficient. Now the case has been withdrawn. A person can benefit from forgery without being guilty of it.
Guys we are too learned to allow security agencies to confuse us. Let DSS produce the real evidence.
NOW IS MY POSITION:
Let's ask DSS for the real evidence. Even if they are not producing it to the press, let them demonstrate that they have it.
- A judge travelled to Ghana or Niger to collect bribe!
-Who told them?
-Any video or audio to that effect?
-Whose bribe did the judge go there to collect?
-Any statement by the person who gave him the bribe?
-How must is the bribe collected?
-For what purpose was it collected?
-Is it about a case?
-Who are the parties to the case?
-Have you interviewed them?
By asking these questions instead of getting so excited about the foreign corrency especially and the Rolls Royce, we will help DSS a great deal.
2. Secondly let's advise DSS to go back to NJC. They should present their allegations to NJC. It is better if the affected judges are suspended or removed while they are facing prosecution. Otherwise a Supreme Court judge will leave the dock in the morning and sit to hear a case in the afternoon. That is not too good. That is why it is always better to have a judge face disciplinary action even if it is suspension before their prosecution.
I hope this changes our conversation a little

this was my position on this and as usual. people called me brown envelop writer.

well for this nicely crafted position

How did the DSS manage to count the money to know it was $2m since they were prevented from entering the house??

Quite frankly, this would be fantastically funny if it wasn't such a crying shame.

It takes a man whose brain has been in recession from birth to believe these puerile lies from the DSS.

Since the DSS which is statutorily in charge of crimes and actions bothering on national security has become the EFCC responsible for corruption cases, when is the agency moving against President Buhari's chief of staff; Abba Kyari who allegedly collected N500million bribe to help MTN reduce their fine??

When will the DSS conduct another sting operation against the SGF who used 270million just to cut grasses growing around hunger-ravaged malnourished IDPs?? Or has the DSS not heard those cases?

No amount of sophistry will obliterate the fact that the action of the DSS is criminal. You don't invade people's homes in the middle of the night, break their doors as though you were a criminal gang, subject their innocent wives and children to emotional trauma before abducting them only to start bandying around outrageous and mind-blowing figures as the amount you recovered from the criminal operation and expect Nigerians to roll out the drum for you. You cannot break one law to enforce another law.

You cannot knowingly break the law and hope that mentioning earthquakic figures will blind us to your thuggery. It doesn't work that way.

Luckily for me, I don't even have a door. So if they come to abduct me, they won't see any door to break neither will they see any brother to manhandle.

Democracy is all about procedures. There are laid down Procedures in handling cases of corruption cases involving Judges.

The judiciary is an independent arm of govt. As the DSS, you are a branch of the Executive. If you have a case against any judge, you petition the NJC.

It is the NJC that will look into the matter and if it deems your case credible enough, it will retire that judge compulsorily and recommend him/her for prosecution. That is only when you the DSS or the police can institute criminal proceedings against the said Judge.

The biggest tragedy in all of these is hearing some so called youths utter garbage like, "what is a judge doing with $2m in his house?"

Those mentally slow intellectually malnourished simpletons have not seen any $2million ooo. They just heard the DSS say it and that is all.

No proof that any money was even recovered and was actually recovered from those judges. All we have is the word of the DSS and nothing more. Yet, those intellectually kwashiorkored youths are already jumping up and down calling for the heads of those Judges.

These are the same gullible lots who believed 90million pounds was recovered from Diezani Allison Madueke, Billions of naira recovered from a soakaway pit in the house of one service chief, another billions recovered from ex governors in Dubai and yet another billions upon billions of naira recovered from looters but before the eyes of these gullible youths, thesame govt that claimed to have recovered all these monies is now crying that the country is broke.

How gullible can some people be??

This govt knows we have so many gullible youths who would swallow anything hook, line and sinker as long as they hear "corruption" and "billions" or "trillions". So after hearing the condemnation that trailed their action, the DSS quickly went to their coven and came back with their normal line of, "We recovered so so and so billions of naira and millions of dollars in the houses of these judges".

Supposedly well lettered adults want me to believe that learned Justices of the highest court in the land would be so dumb to collect bribe from politicians in hard currencies and still leave those monies in their houses even when they were supposed to know the DSS was on their trail having previously invited them for questioning as claimed by the Agency.

Honestly, some people need to have their certificates withdrawn and the awarding institutions sanctioned.

While you are celebrating this idiocy, just pause and ask yourself: If Justices of the Supreme Court can be humiliated in this manner by the DSS just on mere suspicion, what kind of treatment do you think you, an ordinary man will get from thesame DSS??

Just so we are clear, no one is saying there is no corruption in the judiciary or that corrupt judges should not be prosecuted. All I am saying is that this particular operation by the DSS doesn't seem like an operation against corrupt Judges.

The Buhari administration should stop trying to fool us with the sham that is the anti-graft war. When this government wants to fight corruption, we will know. For now, I have enormous reasons to believe justifiably that this government is still aiding and abetting corruption by friends, families and close associates of president Buhari.

Who released ex-governor Timipre Sylva's 148 houses to him after withdrawing all corruption cases against him simply because he donated generously to Buhari's Presidential campaign?? Who defended General Buratai after SaharaReporters exposed his Dubai properties??

Who aided and abetted stint illegal recruitments into CBN, FIRS etc?? Who is protecting Justice Okon Abang??

C'mmon, we are no fools! When this hurricane that is the Buhari-led APC government wants to fight corruption, we will know. For now, he is doing a great job destroying all the critical institutions upon which Democracy has been built.

Gradually, Buhari is making Tyrants like Idi Amin, Adolf Hitler and others look like saints. Even Stalin's Russia wasn't this bad!!!

The legislature has since been bullied into submission. Now it is the turn of the Judiciary. Perhaps, when he is done destroying the two arms of government that are supposed to checkmate his tyranny, he will now proceed to running the country like a full-blown dictatorship.

I have said it before and it bears repeating now, the glory of democracy is fading away with the unpopular policies of Muhammadu Buhari as the President of Nigeria. People are dying of sufferings and miseries, and God Almighty would judge you and I for continue to pretend about the pains Nigerians are cruelly undergoing.

Argue all you want, lie to yourself if it makes you feel better, call me prophet of doom if that will help cure the economic recession just like your mental recession, but the truth remains that, this country will never survive Buhari's 4 year tenure if we continue on the part of self-destruct by refusing to insist on quality Democratic Tenets and Dividends and speaking truth to our government.

This is less than 2years of this administration but all we have achieved is sinking sands of Recession.

Ask yourself, if it is this bad when we have not even reached half of his 4 year term, how will it be by the time we get to 2019?

Perhaps by the end of Buhari's 4 year term in 2019, if we all don't die of hunger before then, we might be too weak trying to afford one 'unsquare' meal a day that we won't even have the strength to ask Buhari to respect our laws.

May God Almighty continue to Bless Nigeria and may Buhari take corrections so that we can succeed as a Nation.

Patriotism is the act of voting in a Government and helping it to succeed by holding it accountable for the Security and Welfare of the State; that is what I am purposed to serve. May Buhari Succeed Rightfully.
