We keep blaming the government but we forget that we contribute to this madness. How can a normal human being erect a building under high tension wire?

True, but how can we have a govt without ambulance services to help people during accidents like this?

Cross River State govt official blames the public for not having first aid skills, but ignores the fact that there were no ambulances to take the victims to hospital. Very shameful.

Garba Shehu lie. In 2019 we will all be in trenches to battle for the soul of Nigeria. Never again will Nigerians be taken for a ride to ancient times.

Buhari (if he runs) will win again b/c PDP are fighting themselves and Buhari has INEC in his pocket.

Garba Shehu has claimed that Buhari and APC will win in 2019 b/c things are bad for PDP. So it is not b/c of their achievements in office?

Dear Professor to be frank n candid with u, PMB is not fighting corruption at all, more like a political witch hunt if u ask me

Good point.

Akin Oyebode, a professor of law at the University of Lagos, has said that the President Muhammadu Buhari regime's anti-corruption posturing is merely "fighting the symptoms rather than the root cause of corruption".

Oyebode was a guest on yesterday's Sunday Politics programme on Channels TV.

Attorney Emeka has alleged that Nigerian Police in Enugu are rounding up ordinary people and charging them with being IPOB members.

The protesters shouted that his brothers and sisters have been killed in Nigeria for agitating for Biafra.

OUT in the farthest reaches of Lagos, a bumpy boat ride across the city’s dividing lagoon, Egbin power plant is trying to light up one of the world’s darkest nations. Six turbines growl in its huge belly, watched over by mechanics in a futuristic control room. They say the place is barely recognisable since privatisation in 2013. Output has rocketed since Sahara Group, a Nigerian energy conglomerate, took over. When running at full steam, Egbin generates almost a quarter of the whole country’s electricity.

very soon, una go blame Buhari for headache, cough, heat, hunger and konji. Get a life.

The question is not who to blame for anything, but whether Buhari is sneaking mercenaries into Nigeria.

A union in the UK representing Arise TV staff in the UK has told them they have no hope of getting their salary arrears from Obaigbena.

Buhari condemned the use of mercenaries against Boko Haram by Goodluck Jonathan. He said the Nigerian military had the capacity to deal with the problem. Has he changed his mind?

If you dey wait for Usa, you are on a long thing,
USA, only whines about human right abuses, when it's a country it has no influence,
Saudi Arabia and Bahrain with all the human right abuses happening there, are not cautioned or sanctioned by the USA,
Buhari's government is Pro Usa, if it was pro Russia or China like Zimbwawe,
Buhari matter for dey Icc by now

You are on point like point and kill.

Buhari has shown he doesn't care about human rights. The US is turning a blind eye and helping encourage impunity to commit human rights abuses in Nigeria.

What about US. EU, Russia e.t.c. that have been fighting ISIS, Al-Qeada and other blood sucking groups? Are US, EU, Russia also Islamic States. My friend go and drink alabunkun and alomo bitters and sleep.

Do the US, EU, Russia, etc belong to the Islamic Coalition against terror? If not, why?

Buhari doesn't seem to care about the constitution. Nigeria is not an Islamic country. See details on why the National Assembly must act to check Buhari's excesses:

Adminisher:
You want your President to watch the video of his security forces shooting people on international TV?. What exactly do you think leadership is, being jerked around by the media and staring like a fool?. How about playing a video of US troops pissing on bodies to Obama?.

I don't think he should have watched the video. He should have questioned its authenticity and then said he will investigate any shooting of unarmed people and the perpetrators will be punished. That way, he would have looked like a statesman who is serious about the rule of law. By just refusing to watch, he appeared like he didn't care about the people who were shot.

Buhahahahahahari should simply stop doing interviews unless they give him expo with the questions in advance and he has six months to sit down with experts to prep him with the answers.

zendy:
Buhari is truly an embarrassment on a global scale. He kept telling the Aljazeera journalist that she knows more about the budget than he does. How can a president not know his own budget? When the journalist asked him if he wants to see the video footage of The Nigerian Army and Police shooting unarmed IPOB protesters in Aba, he flatly refused to do so. How can a president in a democracy on a global media like Aljazeera refuse to see evidence of a crime being commited by his armed forces? A concerned president would be demanding to see it. He then concluded by saying that his government will not tolerate Biafra or anyone who subscribes to it.

My take on Buhari is that he should have stayed in Daura tending his cattles than coming back to be president. He has an old, rigid and analoge way of thinking. He simply doesn't understand the dynamics of Nigeria. Buhari is a disaster of a man and president

You are on point.

Unseen:
Are you for real? Yet to watch the video though but if what you just said is true...........................

Seeing is believing!

his actions could only be embracing to only set of Nigerians.

Which set of Nigerians?

You must understand that the Military is like a cult, more so we are talking about past military head of states here, where Buhari was made the first Federal Commissioner of Petroleum Resources under Gen Olusegun Obasanjo in 1976. Now you can see why Buhari will always go easy with his former boss.

Fair enough. So why not say PDP destroyed Nigeria for 8 years - excluding when Obasanjo was in power?

If PDP destroyed Nigeria for the last 16 years, how can Buhari be praising Obasanjo for economic growth?

A man that brutalised his "made in Nigeria" wife should not be lecturing Nigerian men on who to marry.
