Tinubu ruled Lagos and owns about 25% of Lagos. He needs to be probed as to how he got all those lands, how much was Tinubu salary?

It is only a dumb person that believes this poo.

Do you even know Lagos? 25% ke? Why not raise it to 85%?

As if Tinubu was not probed by the last administration....what was their finding?

I leave u with Ecclesiastics 9:11

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

We must continue to discourage the culture of amassing wealth illicitly. It does not matter who is involved.

What are you quoting Ecclesiastics for? Mtcheww.

GOD BLESS GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN. HE STARTED IT, THE BEST PRESIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE LEAD NIGERIA TO THE PROMISE LAND.
LET ME HIDE HERE BEFORE THEY COME FOR ME

He started everything...which did he complete

I hope that it includes starting insecurity and monumental corruption.

Crocky23:
Even if PDP presents a goat as its presidential candidate, he would win Kwara with a landslide.


PDP and baba Oloye has Kwara on lock down.

Same way they won landslide in EkitI state I guess.

Nbote:
I'm surprised U also didn't notice I didn't quite spell "", "Dey" and "U" correctly. Quit trying to sound so smart.. It makes U sound no different from him..

Who is this?

Munzy14:
If them sound u one APC slap eeeh. lolzzz see this one that constitute nuisance on nairaland, calling for ahmed lawan head. You are now a lawyer abii.

He is about talking matter...what are you talking about?

Did he say anything outside of what the constitution has provided?

FarahAideed:
Keep kwayet man ..must you post?

You actually should be the one keeping quiet here.

Nbote:
But wen Dey won d elections and for d past 3yrs dey have been saints abi?? Quite trying to prove how brainless U are, it's already very obvious...

You can't even spell 'quit', a four-letter word yet you call someone else brainless. Nawa for you o.

Their kids get lucrative jobs and the masses ends up with social program aimed at keeping them poor for the rest of their lives. How can an individual break barriers from poverty with a social investment program for two years when the cost of living in this country is very expensive. While they say half bread is better than nothing, Nigerian youths need jobs genuine jobs with good salaries enough for them to cater for themselves and their families

Not everyone needs social safety nets. However, you can't rule out such in an economy like ours while reforms are being implemented to expand private sector initiatives and investments that would jumpstart mass job creation.

It is not just Nigeria youths. Everyone needs livelihoods. People who have zero means should not be so arrogant not to want to start with something. I know of people who saved from their NYSC year and now own and run successful businesses. NYSC money is even smaller compared to some of the social safety nets created. There are countless opportunities for starting small out there. All that is required is, align with the right network and seek advice on what you can do. There are countless organisation's / foundations out there that provide free worldclass business training / mentorship and startup funds for startups / ideas.

For example, some of us who talk recklessly on Social Media platforms like this one are often so bereft of the fact that they could be talking to very successful people who can guide them towards personal successes.

It is incorrect to say that social intervention programs are designed to keep beneficiaries poor forever. There is obviously no truth in that. We have seen people exit these programs voluntarily to meet greater pursuits. Good salaries and great jobs do not always translate to real successes and wealth creation in nations.

As an entrepreneur and business coach, I will tell you that what the Nigeria youth needs right now is quality education, self discovery / mindset reorientation and relevant skills development to succeed in these times. Saving culture among the youths is terrible. Spending is more often than not intuitive and not driven by value / productivity. Tendency for dependency is rising. Impatience is as loose as wildfire leading to involvement in quick money schemes / vices such as internet frauds, kidnapping, drug trafficking etc. Have you imagined why even with the millions made from these crimes there aren't real investments. Do you know that several Nigerians, supposedly poor, still loose hundreds of thousands of local currency to unscrupulous persons in unrealistic foreign travel plans? Would you have believed that within just a few months Nigerians, including the ones you called poor, could muster investments in excess of several hundred billion into MMM and its cohorts? Where are those monies today? But we want all the blames to go to the government right?

Nigeria will become great if and when we become right thinking people with the right mindsets and ceasing every opportunity, small or big, and making the most of them, either as individuals, families, organisations or communities.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Wishful thinking,Nigerians are tired of the change,any Northern candidate from PDP would split buhari vote,the SS and SE would decide

Which SS and SE will decide? What happens to the second largest voting region in Nigeria, the SW?

Which change are Nigerians tired of when there are real meaningful projects to show? Security is being enhanced to stem the killings.

luvmijeje:
Honestly, PDP is the party to watch. If they can handle their presidential primaries very well, they will have a fighting chance next year.

It is laughable that after the rot of 16 years some people still talk of the PDP.

What are they returning to power to do?

CyynthiaKiss:
Even if Tambuwai looses during the primaries, he can still go for second tenure as a governor.
Rocha's Okorocha contested for the presidential primaries , but still retained his governorship sit after APC primaries.
The same thing applicable to Saraki, Ekweremmad and wike . As regards to Wikee about VP slot.... Wike is not interested in VP like you put up there. He's in charge of the party.
Summary, its a win win game for all of them.

PDP is getting stronger
On general election. .....
2019 is going to be North vs North, Muslim vs Muslim, unlike in 2015 people voted based on tribal and religious affiliation.
Buhari has lost his popularity Those that voted for him in 2015 are disappointed. The number of his supporters have reduced due to his inability to deliver like he promised, unlike 2015 people were seeing him like a messiah not knowing that he has nothing to offer Nigerians other than misery and bloodshed.

Good to know that you just spoke for yourself.

renewa29:
Hope you know she was a senator from 2003 to 2007, and it was because she wanted to contest for governor and her brother wanted to install his stooge, that was why she lost.

She stands as a politician, who proposed increment of police salaries and the national assembly shoved the matter aside, so get the historical basis of who she is right, and how lopsided Kwara votes are cast.

I doubt that Gbemi still has the clout and machinery to win an election. She's been off the grid for such a long time. But with politics, plug outs are usually never permanent as you correctly suggested. I think she is in the governing council of one of Nigeria's universities, and that in some way underscores her continued relevance in the scheme of affairs.

lionness:
Family of snakes and Scorpions. Saraki and Gbemis political difference has always been a fools games intended to control the ruling and opposition. Such a terrible set of ppl. You don't even know if they are Yoruba or Fulani. You don't know Whether they are christains or moslems. You don't even know if these people are Kwarans as I grew up in Mushin and still know Sarakis fathers house near Pam Avenue. Even Saraki holds a British nationality and his children are claiming Americans and Nigerians. What a family of fraudsters. And Ilorin as a state kept been ruled by these extremely selfish children. I'm sure Saraki is currently grooming his kids to take over the next puppet he props up in the state. As painful as it sounds though, I wouldn't mind working for Saraki. Atleast he can rule Nigeria better than that mute and inactive brain dead loser called Buhari. Atleast If Saraki was in Buhari shoes, I'm sure he would have solve this type of problems years ago and not allow it to get this bad. Anyways, Buhari is the man who made Saraki very powerful

Please, help me point out the sense in your post. I can't find any at all.

FarahAideed:
No one cares

I care.

You only own yourself.

Sharpshooota:
You forgot the root cause of the asylum seeking


Buhari

I guess everyone in Nigeria is now seeking asylum, including you.

There are no people in Nigeria anymore.

technuel:
Should I call it a bad news or a good news. It will help reduce the cost of importation and the cost of imported items but will gradually kill our Local industries and discourage local production. The Government should look for a way to exploit the enormous potential of this country and encourage Local production. We have all it takes to be like China and other country will import from us.

That is not true.

That does not in anyway discourage local production.

Redoil:
Systermatically handing our production to china hence killing our own industries

Kindly explain how.

longview007:
APC, keep on deceiving your selves.
We all know the truth.

Oga, please you and who know the truth?

Keep deceiving yourself.

pxjosh:
We truly deserve better than this. In a country where most of the population are youths, we don't need someone as old as Buhari to be our president. The man is very old for God sake and his senses of judgement has declined.

Don't we deserve better?

People don't just think very well, and you are one of them. Are all the governors as old as President Buhari? Was Jonathan as old as President Buhari?

What were/are their achievements? The rail sector is looking up under Buhari. Our roads and airports are being enhanced. In less than four years, rice importation dropped by over 70% with more than 10 industrial rice mills springing up in the last three years.

We have seen the results of his diversification programs from FIRS collections reports, and from the NCS and JAMB. While it is natural to expect more, commendation is equally not a crime.

We were all here when the last administration, not minding the windfall witnessed in the preceding years, had to borrow to pay salaries. More than half the states of the federation were no longer able to foot their recurrent budget, let alone build infrastructures. They had to be bailed out with over #300billion to give succour to millions of Nigerian workers and their countless dependents. Can you say what projects your state governor deployed the Paris Club refund money for? What of the federal allocations to your state? Or is he 'too' old as President Buhari too? Who is your LGA Chairman? How is he/she managing the funds that accrue to the LGA? Who are your representatives in the HoR? What of the Senate? What are their constituency projects and how much funds have been allocated to those projects?

Sprumbabafather:


Very good, for all you southerners supporting APC federal government, you have been used and dumped, you will now travel north to clear your containers if you like. Keep voting APC, one day you all might need travel to the north first before you eat.

Dumb comment with dumb likes.

Rail line that entered every "big man's" village...that wan nah rail line...

What a comment!

LaudableXX:
Keep exposing your ignorance. The easiest way to open up a rural community or an agrarian one, is to provide good roads, rail systems and various modes of transport. That is what opens the eyes of travellers and commodity traders, to the potentials of such areas. Before you know it, the places you thought were 'dead,' would start thriving, and become centres of commerce.

Not only that, by linking those rural areas to commercial townships and capital cities, you reduce travel time between those locations. People might decide to build houses in those rural areas and commute into town on a daily basis, courtesy of the railway services and/or roads, that now pass through there.

How did areas like Mararaba, Karu, Nyanya etc develop? Were they not rural dead areas on the outskirts of Abuja, that got opened up due to the network of roads passing through those places? It became cheaper for workers to live there, and commute to the Abuja city centre on a daily basis. Compare those districts now, with they way they used to be 5-10 years ago, and you would see a massive difference.

Finally, the railway track or line has to pass through certain communities or areas, because it is being constructed on land and not in the air. So no matter how you dislike the thought, some communities that you feel are 'dead areas,' would still have to host the railway tracks, because it cannot be built in outer space.

You need to focus on the bigger picture, as this same railway line would connect Delta State straight to the Middle Belt, and eventually to Abuja, while reducing pressure on the bad roads in that axis. Passengers would no longer have to suffer while commuting through those bad roads, as there would now be a better alternative.

You are your father's son.

Goods and services will be conveyed in greater bulks, which will make cheaper while enhancing longevity of our roads.

horsepower101:
Honestly, Apart from Warri, I have no idea why those other cities have railway networks when far much more economically vibrant cities are ignored.

Nigeria, continue shooting yourselves in the foot. Continue cutting your nose to spite your face.

You seem to like ignorance a lot. Enjoy it as much as you want.

tribalistseun:
Goodluck project, thank you for everything

Everything Goodluck project, you mean he didn't complete anyone at all....isn't that an indictment of some sort?

Now, you are simply agreeing to the fact that his poor management of the economy and inability to save during the windfall remain major contributors to the economic challenges we face today.


How could he leave all projects undone with crude selling at over $100/barrel for most of his stay?? What is his project completion rate? I advise that you research that. Ensure you research that. Don't be a lazy youth.

FRANNN:
Mediocre

We like it like that. Leave it for us.

The ineffectual buffoon remains a case study in history

But buhari has single handedly made that cretin look brilliant!

I mean buhari will be remembered in history as the most useless president who was defeated in the most shocking landslide defeat ever recorded by a sitting president!...

Just as I will forever see this post as the most senseless one in Nairaland existence.
