From all indices of progress and development, Nigeria is at rock bottom: graduates that should be at the forefront driving innovation are happy being on N- power; another set are about to be chained down to 774,000 jobs for public works. The federal government calls them social intervention programs while they are actually a symptom of government failure. How does one develop one's potential through such programs? Are these youths asset or liability to themselves and the nation? This is just a spectacle of Nigeria going down the rabbit hole.

Another scenario is the emergence of other terror groups in addition to Boko Haram that this government met on ground when it came to power. We now have bandits, killer herdsmen, and other dangerous elements. With each passing day, terror is tightening its grip on Nigeria.
Government is losing ground in the battle against these terror groups.

To appease these criminal elements, they are pardoned when captured. They are then rehabilitated and reintegrated into their community. However this policy is not working as terror groups are emboldened rather than relent in their killing and maiming of the innocent. In fact it is an irony that the victims of these terror groups languish away in internally displaced persons camps while the captured criminal elements are cared for.

Down the Rabbit hole is the idea of punishing soldiers fighting Boko Haram for one reason or the other. Court Marshall of soldiers fighting Boko Haram is standard practice while no trial of captured Boko Haram elements is taking place.

Nigeria is down the rabbit hole and Boko Haram is one of unfortunate disasters we are living with. We are still seeing Boko Haram because we are in the rabbit hole. Our only hope is to jump out of the rabbit hole.

OVB123:
Infact you have spoken my mind, no ethnic group is superior.

Nigeria supercedes any ethnic nationality. By virtue of being Nigerian, every ethnic group is the same before the Constitution.

Charleys:
Northern Kaduna are not indigenes of kaduna.

For now, southern Kaduna is bleeding.

Oyo Empire has come and gone; Benin Empire is history. All imperial claims in modern Nigeria are in museum. All nationalities occupying the territorial space called Nigeria are free and equal. No ethnic nationality is superior to another. The British colonial power subdued all imperial powers then and brought them to submission.

Consequently, the pursuit of ethnic supremacy by any ethnic nationality in modern Nigeria will backfire.

There are homelands for every ethnic nationality in Nigeria and those who fail to accept that fact may live to regret it.

Southern Kaduna is home to some indigenous people and their rights to the land must be respected and protected.
Those who want to redraw the map may have their fingers burnt. Nigeria is a federation with rights of all ethnic nationalities guaranteed. Those who are bent on conquest agenda may end up losing out . The siege over Southern Kaduna must be lifted; no more imperial ethnic wars in modern Nigeria.

I remember when I was young and would be fearful to go hawk on the highway. My late mother would lecture me thus: government cannot take care of anybody, you are to take of yourself and always remember that only fools wait for government to come to their aid. With this and some juju to dare task force arresting street hawkers, I ventured out to hawk my goods. All through my thirteen years of street hawking , 1980 to 1993, I was not arrested once. I dared the government over inhumane and heartless policy and won. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God, according to a great man whose name I cannot remember.

Back to Buhari, the man we all voted to take us out of the woods but unfortunately is adding to our woes. We are told by some people to leave him alone. We are lectured on the need to be patient. For how long are we going to wait?

Buhari voluntarily opted to contest for the presidency, and he won. Conditions are attached to his victory: he must deliver.
He was not voted into office to enjoy all the goodies of the office while failing in his responsibility. Buhari has been performing below expectations so far and we demand he tell us why he cannot rise to the occasion.

We voted Buhari into the office and demand for his stewardship. He is a civil servant that is accountable to the public. Nigerians want to know what obstacles are hindering him from discharging the responsibilities of his office. We are waiting.

NGpatriot:
Do you actually think other Nigerians don't have similar rights to express their views about Nigeria?

NL is a discussion forum, not your own personal forum where you spew rubbish and go unchallenged.

If you really care about Nigeria, where are your positive views and solutions? You don't have to be part of any government to contribute and do your part to make Nigeria great.

Castigating other people and rubbishing Nigeria everyday basically means you hate Nigeria and other Nigerians.

You ipobs are just too grossly misguided.

Myopic as ever; only Ipob points at Buhari administration inefficiency.

TheRareGem1:
I thought I am the only person that feel this post is useless and not sensible to the minds.

Why not channel your energy to better your live instead of spilling trash. We ain't buying

Visit another guy's father's farm and stop thinking your father's farm is the biggest.
You are not the one to tell me to better my life; it is outside your control.

NGpatriot:
Self-delusion is when you rant ignorant rubbish every day about Nigeria and other Nigerians while at the same time lamentating that you can not participate to effect positive changes needed to make the country better.

See, we know all about you ipobs, you care less about Nigeria and you start dumb and idiotic topics all over the place just to late us know that you hate Nigeria and Nigerians in general.

Typical ipob.

What affects any part of Nigeria is my concern. The political administration of Nigeria is my business. I do not need your permission to air my views neither do I need to fit into your prescription. I am allowed under Nigerian law to contribute to the development of my country. You cannot determine what I write or how I write it.

Deputy1111:
Is this one a post or foolishness. What else do you want from this Osinbajo nah? In case you have forgotten, he is the vice president not the president o. He has limited power and capacity.

Osinbajo partakes in the glory of Buhari administration and must also share in the blames fired at the government.

NGpatriot:
Of course, typical ipob sentiments..

You need to free yourself from self-delusion.

okefrancis:
I wonder o

God forbid that I stoop so low to become part of a government that citizens are not happy with. It is forbidden. An abomination for that matter.

NGpatriot:
Another rettarded ipob rubbish.

Every critic of this government is by default an Ipob according to your benchmark. You need a serious soul-searching.

helinues:
Mods would be much interested in listening to your lyrics seh you know..

Wait for it

They are human too and would not want to be reduced to mere statistics.

okefrancis:
Could you remember a lot of atrocities committed during the last regime, this is the best government compare to the previous ones

Please provide your infographic.

dignity33:
In a sane society if a government is failure that automatically disqualify both VP because you can't exonerate VP from a decision making of either organization or government. If your against your president the best thing to do is to resign to show you are not part of the urgly decisio

Exactly. Isolating himself from all negativities in this government cannot help him.

helinues:
With the comments above, I trust the mods, na ladder Dem go take measure your banning no be tape rule..

Your colleagues are patiently waiting for you to join them from reading from the side bar...

Reducing human lives to mere statitistics does not attract ban according to you. Would you be happy if I reduced you to mere %?

okefrancis:
This guy , why are you so mischievous and cruel like this

He cannot have sympathy and empathy for the dead. Rather he reduced them to statistics. How can a normal human being do that?

okefrancis:
Are you telling me that killing and bloodshed didn't happened during Jonathan regime, hatred people

Did we vote in Buhari to continue or escalate the killings? Did we not condemn Jonathan because of the killings?

KwaraRat:
Osinbanjo is a willing Judas Goat just like so many idiots in the south like Adeboye, Mbaka, Nnamdi Kanu, Soyinka, FFK, Reno Omokri, Falana and co who all work with the Fulani to enslave you

Killing and bloodshed everywhere, they are clueless about finding solution.

helinues:
You might have programmed yourself not to see anything good with this government cos to my best of understanding, Amaechi and Fashola are still busy with projects even during this Corona period

Of what use are projects to the dead?

tracychelsea13:
First ask your poverty-stricken mother to leave her tormentous marriage to your father, then you ask your father to leave his low paying job....Idiot!

Are you sure you will not be killed or kidnapped before evening today? And if you escape today what about other days?
A boy in adult body, that is who you are. Demented. Neither science nor religion can help your case.

helinues:
Mr Bulleye, if you are not eyeing VP position, then let star Boy be..

Osinbajo would be foolish to still remain in this evil government. Perhaps his hands are not clean and would be blackmailed should he resign. This government is not commissioning new roads, factories, schools, bridges and standard hospitals. Rather we see blood and corpses of our fellow citizens that Buhari fail to protect. Killing is a new normal in Nigeria.

helinues:
Are you ready to take over from Osinbajo after him resigning?

Millions are available to choose from. Of what value is his presence?

aljharem:
I support this.

This is the worst government in the history of Nigeria. E no go better for this government

Imagine Kaduna of all places that should be a mini Nigeria just like Lagos, is a slaughter house.

Superior Orders or just following order is a plea in a court of law that a person should not be held guilty for actions ordered by a superior officer or official - Wikipedia. However in Osinbajo's case it is inaction by the government of which he is a part that we are concerned with. Osinbajo's presence in a government that cannot protect lives and property of Nigerians will land him in trouble in future because he would be seen as an accomplice by virtue of his position in the government. Osinbajo cannot latch to the excuse that he is not the commander In Chief of armed forces.
He would be indicted.

The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him - Wikipedia.

ojokolax:
as the name depicts the northern bulls have shat in the eye of this writer so it is easy for us to forgive him for being blind as to the recent activities of the Vice President. I wonder if it would make any difference to inform him that Prof Yemi Osinbajo currently heads the Economic Sustainability Plan committee, the power sector reform committee, The National council on privatisation, and the Natinal Economic council to but name a few.
I hope with these few point of mine that I have been able to confuse you and not convince you about the mental state of the writer of this baised opinionated piece.

Only the living are aware of economic impact of Osinbajo effort. The dead victims of the insecurity in the land are regretting in their graves to have voted Buhari - Osinbajo scam.

TheRareGem1:
This price is disjointed, meaningless, nonesensical and rubbish. The piece has no direction. At first you were saying Osinbajo this and that, have you forgotten osinbajo

Slashed CAC business registration by 50%

Slashed cost of product reg with NAFDAC by 80%

Create MSMEClinics in all states

Encourages biz owners by hosting #MSMEAwards annually

SMEs can access loan without collateral

NGR now have 41m MSMEs regs

Do you know anything about ESP? Clearly you just put this trash to distract us and nothing else. It can't work. We are un-bothered.

How are you sure Bandits will not kidnap you on your way to Abuja? Of what benefits are all those when lives are not secured?

Sunofgod:
Feel free to enter the 'SE' i will assure you it's fair, free and prospering despite everything !

Happy to read that.

Shooyie:
The simple truth is, Osinbajo makes and heads the most important committees charged with making important initiatives.

Kindly make public the impact of those committees on the lives of Nigerians. Who knows I might be your disciple.

Sunofgod:
Apologies - let me elaborate a little.
The SW has been colonized by 'South Westerners' - Tinubu and co.
The so called 'South South' is free.
The South East is free.

But the facts on the ground are in contrast.
