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.

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.

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.

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

Brutality!!!

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.

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.

All these lies about rice is what I don't understand. Agreed we are now producing rice better but saying we've cut importation by 90% is either a blatant lie or this government is truly out of touch.

Good call by the referee.. Never push a player from behind in the 18 yard with the ball on the air.

Push? Are you sure you saw the same match I did tonight??.

Cromcruach91:
So we take the country back..what next?

How do we get N3 trillion per annum needed just to keep fees low?

How do we earn enough from exports of commdities to fund a budget of N20 trillion , with 6 trillion spent on just eiducation?

You want free education without thinking how you are going to pay for it. Is it by collecting half of every Nigerian's monthly income in tax like the Germans do, or by forcing hundreds of university lecutrers to take salary costs. Or we scrap the Senate, and we use their budget of N1 trillion just to fund universties?(Not even enough).

If you want the kind of economy that can pay for free education, you have to work hard and develop an industrial economy that would generate the kind of income that you can use for free stuff. But the thing is...most of you Nigerians want to share money, not to work for it. You treat the economy as a big national plate of amala and ewedu soup or pounded yam and egusi soup where everyone comes to eat...without bothering how you get the materials to cook the food in the first place.

It is easy to organise revolution. The money problem is still there tho.

You're wrong. Trust me what we needed would have been a credit economy. I'm not a fan of free education but human capital development. Imagine after $20b of our so called $45b invested into education and agriculture. The multipliers would be millions of jobs and reduced poverty. But then we prefer to save to claim cheap political scores. In the end the savings hasn't made Naira stronger.

I remember about a year ago when Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was paying unscheduled visits to government institutions. The media hype over such visits was actually what gave me the conviction then that is was just to hogwash the citizenry. The steam is now down and it's the formula of stolen funds.

I think the difference between our leaders and those in other clans are just simply that you can't give what you do not have. They're after all products of our society.

Nigerians we can actually take our country back from these politicians only if we are indeed ready. It shouldn't matter who becomes the President or where he/she comes from. I am so amazed as to how we have accepted faith that North must rule for another 4 years instead of asking for the manifestos and pedigree of those who are vying for office. No one not America or Britain will do what we must do for us. Let us wake up from all corners of this nation and take the country back. After all we have the numbers.

He only said completed didn't say started. Na wa o

congorasta:
he is good

I had a dream last night,... there was another civil war in Nigeria..
this is the 3rd time this year

You should fast to rebuke it

I've always had my reservations against people calling you a dumb lier but with this interview you just justified you are truly a lier the devil himself will be afraid of. You listed Secondus' name because you claimed he received #100m in cash. How do you expect that to hold in court. It would have been better if the money was transfered to his account but cash payment?? Damn!!!

fiizznation:
People will always tell you that don't vote buhari, don't vote buhari, but then again if you ask them(wailing wailers) who they think among these elites will do better than buhari, you will see them rolling up the names of renowned looters and thieves. Smh

Buhari's performance is far below our expectations(out of 100percent, I might even score him 40percent), but as things still stand, buhari is the better option for 2019.
And this is the reality we all have to face.

I disagree. We can get a new candidate and make him the darling of the electorate, not necessary the professional politicians we have everywhere.

The Oluwo is actually just trying to create attention. Mind you an Emir is just a religious title. There are only 2 kings in the North; Sultan and Shehu of Bornu.

However, the crown in Yoruba land is a property of the Ogboni cult and I am certain the government gave a letter of appointment to the Oluwo of Iwo land so right now since the Oluwo stool is vacant, the government can appoint another Oluwo while the Emir can continue his Emirship.

KingsleyCEO:
Nigeria is a country... That's to say if American president is to visit they will move some of us to Ghana. While the rest will stay underground.

My brother abeg take am easy now.

Laugh wan kill me here o.
