Osogbo International School.. That was where I learnt everything from orientation about life to understanding people. Too bad those glory days are gone now.

nakamora:
Children of hate/anger must have something to wail for.ipob/PDP wouldn't accept this.

The initiator and campaigner of the bill na PDP guy representing Oshodi/Isolo for Lagos, check the facts. Except the ACN wing of APC never supported the bill.

PDP is very useless walahi. These Reno guy always comes with verified facts and yet the PDP media machinery cannot oil his facts and make them nationwide. Only few of us who have access to the internet can access these claims. Majority of Nigerians are been fed daily only with APC propaganda. PDP or opposition needs a better media group if truly they are serious.

Prices pls

I know some idiots will say the airport was a scam from onset, I will be waiting for them because despite the intentional cutting of Osun state's Budget , Aregbesola did miracles in Osun state

Hey...please understand it is never possible to intentionally cut a state's budget. The president doesn't have such powers and if you mention Lagos during Tinubu that was because he created new LGAs which unfortunately are not in the constitution. Aregbesola is a complete scam. Osun still owes over 150b in debt and all we see are "good" school buildings (yet we are 30th in ssce) and yes 300 kilometer of roads...no hospitals, no investment in agriculture, no human capital development, no research funded... You have a right to support whomever you want but no one intentionally cut our allocation. It was all lies to paint PDP black. Remember, PDP could have blocked all the loans he took just like the senate did elrufai recently.

Integrity my foot! BAKARE rejected $50k from Jonathan then. I wouldn't have expected the Angel Buhari's govt to have even offered such, nonsense. So much for noise of fighting corruption better.

sarrki:
Bro many more years of wailing ahead

Pmb till 2023 By God Grace

As much as I am not a fan of PMB or ABS here, Mr sarrki you need to see a physiologist (with all due respect). You can't continue living your life like this. Even if you're PMB himself behind this handle you need to have limits. God bless your soul.

Whothecapfits:
Trash!

My Problem with PDP is the brazen Shamelessness with which they conduct themselves thess days.

They have not exhibited enough remorse to show that they actually regret what they ve put this country through.

Rather trying to reduce the magnitude of their crimes to child's play

Attack the message not the messenger. Even if the message is from a convicted armed robber, look at it critically. We can't continue like this. It is because of issues like this that makes it impossible for the executive to nail the legislature because those sinators know there's a big heist going on. Shina Rambo style..

authority2006:
My point is this: let me say that I agreed that the president used the word "lazy" and it was "generalised". I'm saying that that is not enough reason for me to return PDP to power. Even if there is going to be a third force, it will be the likes of Obasanjo, Oyinlola, Falae and Co. That's a no no for me.

I never mentioned PDP remember. As a matter of fact I never voted PDP nor ever supported any of it's presidential candidate. However my grouse is people keep saying and believing there's no other option. Last election I voted Kowa and I have been at peace with myself ever since. I couldn't follow the bandwagon and vote Buhari who was always giving excuses why he can't debate. Trust me Baba hasn't committed any blunders yet, wait till debates start next year. We are all humans and can make mistakes but always blaming everything and everyone else instead of developing solutions and being innovative makes this government worse than PDP. Can you imagine we've spent 3 years blaming and yet people die everyday in the NC. Buhari is a No for me, I'd rather vote a party without a candidate that vote in excuses.

authority2006:
I don't know your region but I'm from the south west and I can tell you that you are daydreaming. Why should I hang myself because of a statement of fact that wasn't directed to me?
Buhari said that some youth had never been to school. Yes.
He said that they want things for free. Yes
Many illiterate ex-militants are on the FG payroll, 65k a month doing nothing since the period of Yaradua. Many school dropouts in the Niger Delta region are on the oil companies payrolls doing nothing. If you are among the people that there president's statement targeted, Mr president has no intention to apologise for what he said.

You need to be objective here bro, the President said "a lot" of the youths expected government to provide free healthcare etc. Now tell me since you and I have been born, what benefit have we ever gotten from government that would warrant us to imagine or expect freebies? Meanwhile, Buhari has been living off public money since he was 19. Just because some didn't posses formal education doesn't qualify them as being lazy. I've been to many parts of the country and I can tell you the average Nigerian isn't lazy not even in the Niger Delta, what's the population of the militants getting N65k? Less than 100k, do you mean we have only 100k youths in the whole of the south south??

Many people always thinking Buhari will win may be in for a shocker. Trust me with the Lazy youths statement Bubu has lost the southwest. Not a thousand Tinubu can change that. I just feel sorry for the former ACN caucus because marketing Buhari here in the West in an uphill task. The major statement that cost GEJ southwest was stealing is not corruption gaffe.

However, I wouldn't know of Buhari's chances in the southeast and south south. Need to say Baba needs 25% in 24 states as stated in the electoral law. It would be interesting.

pedel:
A lucky idiot who was a president when your father was your age and still your own president. Don't you think he knows how to become a president than you?
Try to address old people in a way to reflect how your parents brought you up.
By the way, I don't support Buhari or any political party.

Mind you not everyone would be interested in politics and for someone to become a president hasn't exactly proven that they have better IQ. Those who have left greater landmarks around the world were never politicians. For you to understand, PMB is a public figure living on public money and as such I can insult him because I feed him. It's obvious you're a member of the BMC which isn't entirely wrong but to attack the messenger instead of the message shows you're not intellectually upright enough for me to engage in a debate.

pedel:
Some Nigerian 'lazy yoots' are going to believe the Facebook post.
I believe the campaign has started.
Instead for the PDP to start telling Nigeria how they intend to change the country, they are busy thrashing the image of Buhari.
Calling someone ugly doesn't make you beautiful. This is one of the reasons PDP lost. Imagine AIT doing a dirty documentary on Tinubu.

Information warfare does backfire.

PDP, tell the country your manifesto; your economic, infrastructural and social welfare & justice plans.
Sensible people are not buying these junks.

But we never saw the Facebook post, only Adeshina and the presidency did. Can't you use your brain that no such post existed? It was just fabricated to kill the debate and anger the President's blunder is causing. You'll be shocked that neither APC nor PDP will win the presidency next year. Keep hallucinating about how no one can defeat Buhari.

The basis of your support for Buhari still baffles me or you're probably scared thinking Buhari is a super human. Mind you Buhari isn't any better than you or me, he's just a lucky idiot who now feels he's doing us a favour by leading the country.

This Reno guy is the real deal. He even went as far as saying he won't include those ones he doesn't have evidence against and he did a clean job with those he indicted. This guy is indeed my man of the year.

Afamed:
I disagree with you on that , there is provision for a human capital development projects in the Nigeria Budget already. Aside that there are other account set aside for training and re training of human capital in every ministry in Nigeria. Whether it's judiciously spent is another question for another day. No country in the world has ever used her foreign reserve either to fund it's budget or spend it on human capital development.

Are you really sure about that claim? Because you don't budget #100b for research and expect results o. You need billions of dollars spread across board because even Harvard's endowment fund for research is bigger than our budget.

This is disgraceful, disgusting and appalling. Of what purposes and intent must this government keep celebrating mediocrity. This is certainly the final straw for me. Thank God I didn't vote them in 2015, I doubt I can again in 2019.

Uyiii:
Zainab alizee season 2 coming out soon.
we promise you a very intriguing, eye catching, mouth watering movie.

Please don't miss out, WATCH OUT!!!

You're wicked o. Anyways, that shall not be their portion.

Tohzara:
Your tribalism and stupidity will kill you very soon. No one lasts long with such toxin and hatred flowing in their blood.

Brutality!!!

mrphysics:
It's not about needing the bill. The senators does not have the right to make such laws. NASS members are not permanent residents of the NASS, however, Nigeria will always remain even till the 20th senate. SO the 8th senate can't come and distort everything due to their assumptions. The supreme court will deny them that right.

Why did you think they didnt bother to veto presidential assent? They knew they will lose and they are now seeking the support of the governors by trying to favour them. So how is it healthy to our democracy? Court will always tell them to stop

Mind you the sequence in 1999 was Presidential elections last. Our democracy is evolving yes, we have selfish idiots in power yes, but this is about the office and power attached to that office. That they changed narrative doesn't mean they can't veto the president but because it's all politics and many need their state governors to hand them tickets for continuity, hence they definitely would succumb but that's not to say they can't pass it.

Afamed:
Many of them are here on Nairaland. few days ago, one of them said the F.G should be funding Budget with foreign reserve. Since that day, I occasionally engage them in a debate.

Trust me it might not be a bad thing if spend the reserves on "human capital development" the major reasons we save in dollars is for clearing bills and receipts for import purposes. If we spend heavily to develop our engineers, scientists and researchers we may end up producing 98% of what we consume and might be no need to import, after all America's savings is not up to $150b but the country can raise $1T in 24 hours. Our major forex drainer is refunded oil.

Also, you may want to know that the American visa lottery was a strategy to sabotage countries like Nigeria. After we've subsided education here and trained someone to become a qualified doctor or engineer, he travels to the USA and becomes useful to them and a loss to us. No one will be given a visa in the lottery process if you haven't atleast passed WASSCE so forget the old economics, my only problem is we spend on wrong things.

mrphysics:
Did you read the bill? Was this the secret behind the bill? And how do you justify your claims? So Abia, rivers, Akwa Ibom, etc has no gubernatorial candidate in APC?

Like I said my brother "it was the excuse given by proponents" of the bill. Of course there could be motives. But looking sincerely, APC wouldn't have won those states you listed. They were never swing states.

mrphysics:
This is supreme court Judgement. This judgement was given if I am not mistaken 2006/2007. So who amended it.

You read in the judgement that the [b]NASS has no right to make laws [/b]relating to the listed conditions

Even if this one gets to the president, he will still reject it, then the NASS will try to veto it, if they succeed, FG will take it to court for proper interpretation. It will be resolved after 2023 election

Not necessarily so, there could be accelerated hearing. Mind you Inec shot itself in the leg earlier on this bill and to retract. INEC like EFCC is a creation of the law. The law made and amended by the national assembly but in all honesty the bill is needed and would help our democracy if implemented.

junbi:
I really don't understand this reordering stuff

How does reordering favour the senators and not the presidency, can anyone help

Infact which of the orders favours the masses

Thanks.

The excuses of the proponents of the bill which many Nigerians for selfish, bias or outright hatred for this national assembly didnt critically access is the reason for this noise.

The bill was introduced because in the last elections many states voted APC governors solely because Buhari had won the presidency and they couldn't afford been labeled opposition. Jigawa is a good example.

So in order to ensure the right persons win at governorship levels and possibly even an independent candidate may one day will the presidency they proposed the bill.

The only advantage to the masses is that the more these clowns clash the more revelations and secret we hear. It's now up to the masses to come together and send them all packing.

When boko haram were running riot Buhari and his APC bastards blamed Jonathan for being incapable that was why boko boys were able to import arms into the country. Now the blame is on Gadaffi knowing well the dead can't defend themselves. Very soon we shall be free from all these nutjobs.

Idiots in power.. No sensibility at all just like Mike Oliver

maasoap:
Because we could see more clearly and think better. Besides, if it is your job, you've got to do it or resign if you see as a failure on the part of your employer.

To be very honest this is Nigeria where every normal thing is abnormal. That we could see more clearly and think better itself is wrong. Because all those I mentioned earlier have proven otherwise. Abati today and Okupe are filled with regrets, same for Adeniyi.

Have you ever heard Abba Kyari the President's chief of staff as much uttered a word or granted an interview in 3 years?

Why must it always be Yoruba's to do all dirty and stupid jobs of talking in support government failures... Osinbajo, Okupe, Abati, Lai Mohammed, Femi Adesina, Adeniyi...etc..

We seriously need a rethink as a tribe.

So those who even stole victims phones have been automatically tagged suspects in the case. I bet the real culprits are already in Benin Republic or Ghana.

smirn:
You see your level of thinking? Impeaching the president is the solution abi? Why not demand that the NA should make laws to meet the security challenges we are presently facing in the country. My dear, it's not about the president, every elected or appointed office holder as well as institution should wake up to their responsibility. The laws regarding the security agencies as well as their mode of operation should be reviewed and necessary adjustment be made for a better service delivery to Nigerians. Moreover, Nigerians should embrace love and tolerance among themselves irrespective of ethnic, religious and political differences.

You can't hold any of them responsible when they don't control the military or security. Not even governors can give instruction to a police commissioner.

These Libyan Gaddafi boys are so daring o. Even in far away Anambra they strike without fear.

I really need the government to do something extra ordinary not all these propaganda. Building a bridge is good but no where near the 12 Universities Jona built. Government needs to work more and make less noise abeg...I doubt Lagos Ibadan or Abuja Lokoja will be completed by the end of this tenure how much more the badly needed Ajaokuta steel.
