of course restructuring is the answer but most times we only tend to portray the problem and not a pragmatic solution on what terms are we intending to restructure what would be the template. what system of government would we tend to run? this are salient questions begging for answers.

nonetheless restructuring is a subject our leaders won't want to dive in, since they are enjoying the national cake at the moment look at the budget padding scenario going on in the national assembly it depicts where the loyalty of this our representatives lies in money. I believe if we look at the documents of the previous national conference we might find a solution that would help us in the short and medium term.

what is the price of an average Nigerian life? this is a huge slap on our face. why is there not a wide spread protest to open up NASS? how long would we keep quiet and see a selective few Rob us in broad daylight. this funds are meant to help our dilapidated infrastructure but we all know they are going to private pockets.


am shocked at the outright silence of my our leaders is this not the right time to bring sanity to this insane house of assembly and remove every form of mediocrity. this has gone beyond party politics cause when they are looting they don't play party gimmicks.

I strongly support and commend serap on this, someone needs to hold this government accountable. Nigerians are tired of their lies and lips service portrayed by this government. except if they have something to hide. you do media trials but you can't present names of those that stole from the Treasury! double standard!

am pretty sure minister liar Mohammed won't be happy about this

well said op_ the society we live in prefers mediocrity to values; look at our musicians and their quest for vanity and poor musical skills. it's a shame that we can't name artistes in naija who are giving us real value for our money

instead of us sitting back and complaining I suggest we should get the number of a senator and start calling and disturbing them after all that is what they are elected to do.

of we could use this list optimally we could get our voice heard in Parliament and bring the NYSC management to book. because this waiting is damn frustrating and demoralizing

Bglow001:
At last!! light is beginning to glow @ d end of dis frustrating Nysc tunnel!!

The Nysc official that usually gives me updates on our mobilization called me about 25minutes ago that the
meeting has just been concluded and that camp will be opening this weekend. He said I shld prepare my stuffs cos anytime we 'll get the official directive from the DG(Kazaure).
Though I don't want to start giving myself or anyoda person false hope here, but my advise is dat we wait till tonite or tomorrow hopefully we'll get the GOOD NEWS.

biglo my nigaa!!!! common biglo, biglo na so shaa

08080525007

Lagos protest add me please 08038244705

SMartins1:
where are the Lagos peeps? I'm going to their office 2mao, need
us to fix a time and a meeting point.
#Peacefulprotect
#Wedeservertoknowthetruth ... Logistics ain't just a reasonable
excuse

Pcms in Lagos should a fix place where we could assemble and make a peaceful demonstration, preferably the state house of assembly alausa. and if we could make some of the media house's present to witness the occasion. our voices need to be heard

yet again the system has failed the youth.

I got this text and am very worried

because you are not in stream I, you will be notified when to print your call-up letter.

am yet to receive any form of notification about the next stream.

am just speechless, mixed feelings running through my spine it's been two years since this girls have been kidnapped.

if only we don't play politics with everything in this country. it's just painful because the life's of this girls have been altered forever, if only the average Nigerian could see what bigotry and dirty politics undermine the value of human life.

I hope they come home to us safe, alas the #BBOG was not in vain today marking the second year holds so much significance with this report. please for every well meaning Nigerian politics and ethnicity shouldn't cloud your sense of reasoning and human empathy, the chibok girls scenario could have been averted if leaders were accountable to their constituents.

if only.........

anti people law makers, only in Nigeria would such romance with corruption would be celebrated. #occupynass

only people who are ignorant of history would support Buhari and his rhetoric anti corruption war it just a distraction. aribisala is on point here, carefully analysing the the gimmicks of the Buhari administration.


FYI; if you thinking Buhari is the president of Nigeria you are really joking go back to your history books idiagbon was the president when he was head of state. and in this present civilian dispensation someone is doing the same job idiagbon did. justifying this his is incessant globe trotting.


Buhari has always been a weak leader who lacks touch with reality.

impressive, I hope it's well managed to foster food security.

when analysing a failed state the pilot point is always insecurity. am asking this random question how secure is the average Nigerian?

do we have a government at all?


so much deaths at the hand of this killers parading themselves has herdsmen! I have tend to stop lamenting we need to start providing practical solutions to end this bloodletting.


every community should start arming themselves Fulani herdsmen have no mercy start stockpiling guns, that was how the people of shagamu curbed their menace

I think it high time we start clamouring for state policing with our voices as loud to the heavens, but in the short term everyone should be armed, our local vigilante should be given weapons and proper training it high time we stop this before they put a knife to our kinsmen neck!


there is little time for ethnic triviality. there is a grand conspiracy in play and we are sleeping with both eyes close. the police can't save you, the military is by their side. somebody somewhere thinks he is Othman Dan fodio. be wise

Akshow:
There you are, fighting, insulting, killing and destroying in their names, while their kids get robust education, jobs, gifts and properties you have ever wished for. Living your dreams on your behalf. Subject you to eternal envy. with your support..... ~There they are looting the national treasure, sharing it among themselves. They are in the competition of 'The Best At Looting'. They rape the national treasure and ejaculate the waste on you the ignorants, while you trek, make use of public transports, resort to crime for survival, e.t.c. But they sleep and wake in what belongs to you, yet, with your support...... ~They send you to kill, maim, harass, protest, assassinate, campaign, rig. You get to your rented apartment, dodge landlord enter, cause you haven't paid the rent, with several responsibilities awaiting you e.t.c, but they will never be at the battle front, yet they go to their mansions, relax in expensive jacuzzi, with wines expensive enough to start you a career, they reach for their expensive gadgets, and check their over-filled accounts, the profit they have made from your stupidity, unfortunately with your support..... ~You struggle for a job, some of you get one with peanut salaries that will be owed for months before you get paid, you scream, wail, shout, stress your vocal cord before they consider paying you. While their kids never get stressed for jobs, they have been getting paid even before they were born(ghost workers). Each one of them gets a month salary x2 your annual salary, again with your support. CBN secret/partial recruitment comes to mind. Oh! I forgot, them pikin get brain pass you! Abi no be so? ~You take sides when they throw unreal tantrums at each other. You fight your brothers and sisters on social media(oh I forgot! They are not your brothers and sisters, he is not from your tribe, he doesn't practise your religion, he is APC, ayam PDP, because they said so? issokay, kwontunu). But what comes to your mind when you see them laughing? Does the picture of those you have insulted, killed, destroyed with the words of your mouth comes to your mind? They become friends(like they really fought before) laugh at your ignorance. They have won again, no be you support am? Have you seen Obasanjo and Madam Patience recent pictures? Where dm two dey groove? When you groove last? Ok la, na fake jor. You don hear sey Aluko and Fayose don reconcile? Wait for Wike and Amaechi. They use you to achieve their wants and needs. Well done to you. ~You defend Tinubu abi, when him mama die as the Iyaloja of the whole Lagos State, your mama no get brain to lead na abi?, so he went for his daughter to become the new iyaloja (just imagine). Hmmm! Good. How many dignitaries attended your wedding? But Jonathan's Daughter received over 50 exotic cars. Na lie, na cheap propaganda. Infact na toys them give her. What a shame, on you na. ~They ruled your father, they are still ruling you, their kids are beginning to rule you as well, and maybe rule your born and unborn kids, with your support. Abi no be you dey vote for them? On election days, you risk your life and properties just to get them back to office. What have you been receiving since you've been voting? Nada. Yet you go still vote ooo. So pathetic................ -You struggle everyday, queue for fuel, enjoy interrupted electricity, but they don't feel this. While you run after public transports, Dino Melaye and his cohorts flaunts their wealth in your face, ride exotic machines. Oh! It's the lord's blessing, and na satan curse dey upon you abi? Issorite. ~they make use of religious tactics, they use our Pastors and Imams to divide us, oh I remember! They are Men of God, and you are Men of Devil? They spit from their private Jets, it lands on you while you're on your private Okada. Kwontunu. ~the problem of this country is not the few crooked pot-bellied leaders(looters), but the teeming foolish masses. Until we realize the battle is "we" against the "elites", things will never get better. Support intellectual revolution, supp

like minds should always have a podium to express themselves and re-orientate the public. when the aluta go start!

industrializing Nigeria would start with reorientating the psych of the average Nigerian on the street, the job of the (national orientation centre) we need to drive the patriotic spirit that as been neglected and abandoned.

you can't create an industrialized nation without government policy. is the government willing to partner with the private sector properly? government should be playing a regulatory role... we need the legislators to do something regarding that, legislations like the petroleum industry bill that could address issues with crude oil commodities both upstream and downstream
should be passed into law to stimulate productivity in that area.


you can't industrialized a nation that can't feed itself we need to be self sufficient in Nigeria, regarding this although it seems the present government is trying to encourage agricultural research and development which would enable us perform better nonetheless the agricultural sector should be given a pivotal role. every region has to produce a cash crop for export state by state to enable each state add to the nations foreign exchange, we use to be an agricultural nation before oil and we need to go back to our basis.


encourage foreign direct investment by creating enabling environment for foreign investors we can't grow our nation without foreign hands we need to create an environment that would be conducive for foreigners and their investments


technological hubs should be encourage in every state of the federation thereby enabling inventors and new generation scientist to drive the industrialization process

instead of the Nigerian youth to start pushing up hashtag to encourage this bill, they are criticizing the bill.. .this bill could halt corruption in our public spaces it could make politicians more accountable. we should be pushing for its implementation not saying otherwise

Greenback:


yes..i do know full well that there is divine Grace on this nation..nations that are experiencing or had experienced internal progrom,did not have,did'nt go through,lets say,half of the problems nigeria have had over the years before being engulfed in one crisis or the other,and here you guys are. But then,i dare say,a large percentage of nigerians are not given to knowing or fighting for their rights hence their being taken for smooth rides by the govt. Nigerians are not hard hearted,like the arabs or the south africans,nigerians are prepared to manage to the grave. Not all citizens elsewhere would accept to live in perpetual darkness for decades,you know,paying through the nose to power their generator sets after queueing to buy fuel to provide light for themselves after paying the power companies for same! And we're talkin'bout a nation endowed with natural resources......
Well,one thing i know,if nigeria will not practise true federalism and resource control simply because some set of people want to parasite and lord it on others forever,disintegration should be the only innevitible option..
Happy easter

disintegration is out of the subject I think we need to properly educate ourselves and know our rights, the Constitution itself is a fraud that allows mediocrity and nepotism at the corridors of power the resolution of the just national conference if properly implemented could drive this nation into proper civility.

if Jonathan wasn't playing to the gallery with the national conference the resolutions could have been a life line to a better naija because it addressed the majority of the problems bedeviling the nation.

alas I think there is a silent majority growing that are patriotic and tired of this suffering and smiling mentality, it just take a selected few to change the course of this Nation I pray we leave naija better than how we met it when we pick our calls to the great beyond.

Greenback:


the truth is really deep,those who do not understand will soon descend on u...i doubt if theres any redemption for nigeria..only God knows what wud've happened if gej has won the last general election..
God bless u,man

someone once told me there is a divine purpose Nigeria is made for in the history of the world. the astrologers, CIA, MI6 saw doom in Nigeria in 2015 it was clear as daylight the West knew there would be lots of bloodshed but at the end of the day there was mercy on this nation. don't get it twisted Nigeria is destined to be great only if the youth know the half of the story

what if Jonathan's heart was hardened and didn't handover power? look at Syria, and people would be yaning beans online...there is Grace on this nation if you don't know

this was when the military was with dignity and honor. before the shenanigans of ahmadu Bello polarised the military with ethnic idiosyncrasies,bias and bigotry.

did anyone notice that when it was based on merit the northern oligarchs did have their stooges in the military unlike now when the arewa flag is hoisted over the military to serve selfish purposes.

am not an ethnic bigot am just stating history has it is and the decline of merit in our military system!

temitemi1:
I thought sakau said they are dropping their arms . I refuse to be fool by sakau and his party(apc)

what is your problem you are everything wrong with the Nigerian youth, you lack constructive reasoning you don't see anything good in the Nigerian project that is bigger than any political party or affiliation. is this not a commendable news that a suicide bomber that was meant to create chaos and havoc on grieving communities was apprehended and neutralised what is your problem?

I guess you have never seen a bomb blast scene before that's why you spill nonsense online, your noisy vulgarity is shaming and sad! you are a disgrace to every form of civility.

your hypocrisy and stupidity would get you killed!

to what effect would this populist agenda result to, how sustainable is it, those it have a long term prospect, how much of the budget would it consume

I fear for the short sightedness of our leaders, if this type of money is injected Into infrastructure properly the poor won't have to wait for handouts and stipends from the government I don't know how some people in government reason with their feet

all we need is proper infrastructure and basic amenities

this has been the culture of the military from time immemorial, no transparency and accountability since the days of babangida....all military formation and their chiefs are all guilty of this. it is the way they are structured since the era of impunity by babangida.

only people who don't know about the military would be shocked about this. those military chiefs don't account to nobody on the money allocated to them, since they are not integrated into the civil service pay scheme

it's high time we call for a proper structure of the military formations and integrate them into the civil service pay scheme for more accountability and transparency

I can only hope for the best for my country, transparency and accountability and proper implementation is what I wish this government. we have seen a lot of hardship in the past months I hope it gets better

when would the people of benue be free from this menace, I think it is high time they start taking up arms against this militants, the state governor should properly restructure the vigilante groups to enable them tackle this problem head on

and I would like to recommend a biometric registration for every herdsman we should know them and know where they are coming from, every part of the nation is at risk of this menace....benue is just an experimental phase it's a full blown propaganda against the southern states of Nigeria


southerners be armed!

LadyExcellency:
Were Amaechi and Wike contesting for any legislative post on Saturday?

What happened in Rivers State has nothing to do with salaries of Legislators rather it was a clash of power between APC with their Federal might and PDP supported by the populace.

you got it all wrong if political offices are made unattractive, probably on a minimum wage or the wage of an average school teacher with no pecks of office the average political class enjoy in Nigeria, do you think there would be do or die politics in this nation?

we need to get our priorities right until when patriotic citizens vie for political office then we would get the dividend of democracy. the system we operate in Nigeria is heading for a self destruct with the crop of politicians we have who lack morals and values.who only represents their pockets and their pockets only

make political office unattractive and you see a great nation

I weep for rivers
I weep for democracy in Nigeria

wike and amaechi are demons

this is why we shouldn't lay bad precedents with our judicial system, tinubu was let off the hook through this premise I don't see the reason why saraki shouldn't be let of the hook also on this premise. I think tinubus case should be revisited if these government actually wants to build the anticorruption system.

cool
