How many Fulani/hausas built in the south east? The ss,ame way GEJ built in the north to the disadvantage of his people. Buhari has been building in Daura. Now the maritime university, railway through Daura to Niger republic. Obasanjo failed to develop Ota and Owu. The library built for Obasanjo politically now is meaningless. When will the foolishness of Southern leaders end? Offor"s oil license has been seized, his name has been mentioned among debtors. Salaries unpaid to his workers. Go to his community and you"ll find countless poor people there. Did he have to build in Daura if not for eye service and politics?

So has he been alright all the time? Was he pretending? What was all the noise about sickness in detention? Did he try but failed to get international recognition? What's the issue with this man and his group?

Under Jonathan, we were made to believe that he was oppressed because of his faith. Now Buhari is here and we are made to believe that there is a difference between Sunni and Shiite Islamism.

What is going on? Why can we not have religious peace in this country? The entire north has been lit up by Islamic religious differences: boko haram, Shiism, Sunnism, and the others. The president said in the IDP camp that herdsmen are not Muslims. Which religion do they then practice?

Islam is supposed to be a religion of peace. Growing up Muslims and Christians attended the same schools. Many political leaders of today studied the bible in christian schools, yet their beliefs were not affected. Today some political leaders have turned religion into something negative. God save Nigeria.

MachadoPreto:
You buy words from politicians a lot. Have you seen a Bush, Clinton or Obama use that word? Trump used it to win people like you. Same trump campaigned about "Jews won't take our jobs"

As for the religious card I was enlightening you about, I just made it clear to you outside topic so you know where and how to play it when you are involved in discussions so you don't believe general assertions.

America's core values are inclined with what mere humans can't see. You only here them tell you "In God we trust" but their actions will tell you is not the same God you believe. Nothing inclines them to religion. Not even a crucifix.

Like I said, it's an insult to the United states that it's diplomat was denied entry into a country where America funds with billions of dollars yearly.

And if it might interest you, part of those billions come from the taxpayers of the constituents this individuals preside over. Am I making sense? It's an insult to the USA.

It's even glaring Israel won't do it if Trump did not push for it. Netanyahu does not have a heart of his own in this matter. Trump did all and he bought it.
But you have not told me how to separate religion from politics.

I am not a Trump supporter. I think that you must eliminate sentiments from your talk bro.

Remember that all presidents cannot be the same. When Trump got there he said “America first”. Very clear. Our president said “ I am for everybody, I am for nobody”. Very unclear. You can see the difference with Trump making it possible to protect his country and interests. That is why his popularity soars daily among pure Americans black or white.

You need to be reminded that Israel has a defense pact with Israel. That’s what empowers Israel to carry on. Why does Israel posses nuclear capabilities while middle eastern nations do not possess it and they are not allowed to? The American seat of power is full of Americans of Jewish descent. Now tell me how does Netanyahu need Trump to command him before he does what will protect Israel as a nation and the Jewish international interests?

American have not been insulted in anyway. Rather the two ladies have persistently been insulted and the middle eastern interest that they pursue in the American House of Representatives is insulted.

When someone says ‘in God I trust’, who does he refer to? Abeg now bros. Which kind wahala be this?

Beside which one be American president. US is North America with Alaska extending to the west , Brazil and Co are South America,Bahamas and Co are West etc.....
All I can advice you is to get your history notes. Read the first lines of the American constitution . You may also use that your phone now in your hands to find out. Please what has geographical location to do with it? Anyway since you went that way too, please ask which religion is practiced by the American neighbors. Your ignorance can be cleaned off if you take a little time to research.

Hello! Remove the religious card. If you care to know, their are more Muslims in Israel than Christians. And what you called Jews, don't even believe in Christ. So where you get this religious claims from,amazes me.

America a Christian country grin. You are joking if you can't mention why it's one with proof in its constitution and governance. All this are laymens assertionfs. Under Trump. Arabs are one the strongest allied of thbe mh :-XUS presently. Did I say Hello? World politics is a out interest, religion they use to divide.

Back to the point you raised, it's not done. You talking about a USA diplomat representing people. No matter what, you must accord her with same respect you bestow on the US. It's not done. You could have let them in and make them physically see reasons with you. It's very undiolomatic and sentences can never change that childish display.
Hahahahaha. May I ask how you can remove religion from politics?
What separates a Christian from a Jew?
If America is not a Christian country then which religion is practiced there? How many times have you heard “we are Christians” and “we believe in Jesus”? Is there any doubt about the religion practiced in Indonesia, Pakistan, the Middle East (except Israel). Why must the religious inclinations of Christian countries be a thing of dispute? Even in our country, inspite of our struggles to keep it going we know areas that are purely Muslim and Christian, across the north and south.
You have not mentioned one Muslim country where you have either a Christian or even a pagan holding an office from the least to the highest.

Once again to your point. In diplomacy countries have reasons for denying entry to citizens of other countries irrespective of rank and status. Recently in Nigeria we were informed that certain persons who aided and abetted in election rigging would not be allowed into the USA. Who lost sleep diplomatically? Is this the first that you have heard of countries expelling diplomats from other nations?

You talked about the ladies as diplomatically representing the people and not me. They have said that in their foreign affairs oversight functions they are supposed to visit nations. Equity demands clean hands. Politics is about interest but it is also about decorum.
Remember the proverb “do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river”. They forgot their words and now they try to make the Israelis look like the wrongdoers? Sorry bro no way.

More so mind you that the ladies are not diplomats. They were not appointed as diplomats but members of the House of Representatives. That they go to Israel on their oversight functions does not single them out as diplomats. They report to the House of Representatives and the House follows up with government.

What are you saying, this a diplomat representing millions of people. Is an insult to the USA if the president was sane. Critics and criticisms are always welcomed in democracy.

And the height of it, A US president tweeting they be rejected even before they got denied. Is this normal? So sharing different views warrants a diplomats denial.
Look mind yasef. I no buy and I no sell no dey cause wahala. Is there any purely Muslim country where you have a Christian holding any position from the least to the highest? If you know of any please tell us. Does it matter that they represent people? And who told you that the American president is not sane. You know am before? Abi e contest election with you before?

America is a Christian country and the country has been fair enough to welcome every person irrespective of race or religion. The women were elected by the citizens in a Christian country to represent them irrespective of their religious differences and now the women turn around to religiously impose themselves on the people, forgetting their backgrounds. Who’s fooling who bro?

The Americans have said that their country is filled up and let other citizens of other nations remain in their countries. Iranians fight with the Americans yet their people struggle daily to get American visas. Nigerians are deported daily and life goes on. The Israelis have said no. Na by force to go there? You want to go to Israel using American tax payers money and you insult the state. Oya you hold am for hand cross enter.

Clearly all about politics in this country. Remember Fashola and his assured words some years ago, when he said that it would take nothing to provide electricity in six months? He was the minister under the government of change, with all the big grammar for four years. Everything remained the same.

Discos and Gencos are controlled by the same people. Those who looted public funds and invested in the same institutions, now as private investors.

This country truly needs something drastic to happen so the whole citizens can be set free.

TravelRe: Commercial Tricyclist Killed Over Right Of Way In Lagos by Cantonese: 1:28pm On Aug 15, 2019
AutoReportNG:
The police in Lagos say a tricycle operator, Aniete Bassey, has allegedly been killed by a motorist over right of way in Surulere area of the state. Spokesman for the police in the state DSP Bala Elkana confirmed the incident in a statement on Tuesday, saying that it happened on Sunday along Akerele Street, off Falolu, Surulere.

Elkana said at about 9.130pm on Sunday, Surulere police station received a distress call from Randle Hospital Surulere that a tricycle operator was brought there with a broken head, in a pool of blood but died on arrival.

He said information gathered by homicide detectives revealed that the deceased had a misunderstanding with a man in a jeep on a major road along Akerele Street, Surulere.

According to Elkana, during the scuffle, the driver of the Jeep brought out a wheel spanner and hit the deceased person twice on the head. He said that after a thorough examination of available traces, the Jeep driver was identified as Christian Innocent, 39 years old. “He was arrested by a team of detectives led by the Divisional Police Officer Surulere, CSP Jimoh Jabaje on Aug. 22.

He confessed to have engaged the deceased person in a fight over right of way. (NAN) “He confessed that there was a vulgar abuse between him and the tricyclist over who among them had the right of way as they both accused each other of rough driving.

“There was no crash between the Jeep and the Tricycle. The suspect will be charged to court,” he said.

Naijafull19:
Actually GEJ is to blame FOR one thing...when setting up the DISCOS, he also ended up setting the rate at which they charged bills.

So, to cut a long story short...the DISCOS charge 30% of the actual cost, while government pays the remaining 70% via something called NIBET.

Of course, government has had issues paying the 70%...and anyway, the DISCOS cannot set their own prices, meaning they are running at a chronic loss.

Also, the price setting drove away a lot of foreign investors....

As for what Buhari is proposing to do, it would only make things worse. (Back to the bad old days of NEPA).

The truth is, you Nigerians don;t want to pay the actual cost of power. Hence the whole farce of GEJ making things hard for the DISCOS and GENCOS at their initiaiton.

You cannot run a business at a loss.
Well said.

But did the discos not think about profit and loss before venturing into it? Government gave the conditions and the investors accepted the terms.

The intention of GEJ was borne out of good faith considering the inefficiencies and greed of government officials in charge. Just like the communications sector, privatization of the power sector was meant to bring light to the whole country 24/7. Some corrupt persons hijacked it until this day.

Take a look at the board of these companies and you"ll surely find the names of powerful men in government today.

In agreeing to the terms of the GEJ government, DISCOs and GENCOs thought they had found an area to make billions of naira just like communication. GEJ gave handouts to back them up yet they failed to perform.

See my friend, until we are able to treat public institutions with care, we will still be here. For us in this country public institutions are meant to bring money to some private pockets.

Investors buy up public companies for peanuts, sell off the assets and go to sleep. Government officials meant to monitor, receive fat bribes and certify them fit.

I still maintain that the corrupt practices of our leaders, political and military, has kept this country in this condition.

That's the only way to go. Obviously they are failed investors. Power bills keeps increasing but no improvement in power supply. Jonathan and his gang messed up the sector with outright sale of of Discos without a precondition of retrieving it back if they fail. Now we have to spend billions of dollars to get it back. Back then they were just shouting comparison with mobile telephony up and down without putting into consideration that that the 2 businesses are far different from each other. I don't know why dunces keeps ruling us, we keep moving in diminishing circles, and yet we still live and fire prayers in all religious centres that things are going to change in this country.
We are all foolish in this country. Gush
So this Jonathan theory us still lives in some of you? When will you ever wake up? We have seen countries where weak economies have been made great again. What difference has this government made in the lives of people? We have been told that Nigeria has become the poverty capiral of the world. Insecurity, destruction of lives and property has not been tackled by this government; yet you people keep playing the Jonathan tape. When will you move on?
Corruption has taken a more dangerous turn. All the promises have failed. Nigeria has glided to a very dangerous level with the possibility of breaking up. People are arrested arbitrarily. Freedom of speech was guranteed under Jonathan and you could see that no one who has become a political office holder was detained by Jonathan. Today arrests everywhere in the name of hate speech.

Fashola told us that power generation had risen to over 7,000 megawatts. While some believed him, clear eyed people knew it was all political propaganda. If government buys DISCOs back, that is another avenue for embezzlement and looting for some people.

Be honest to yourself. The problem Nigeria faces is corruption. Buhari cannot tackle it. We believed him before 2015, but we can see clearly now the failure. APC has not answer to the problems of this country.

2: delay in making changes - This was a game a moment of brilliance would have won, kloop brought all he had on the bench likes of origi, firminho wilnagdum and Arnold if he had anoda changes shaqiri would be introduced as well but Lampard kept the last changes he would have brought Willian or batchuayi a moment of brillainace would have sealed the game before 90mins,instead of playing Pedro 90mins, There's even Caballero self to save penalty
