Benki003:
See how he looks like buhari

Teuh

Chima Collins Ejiofor now left all the people he could look like in the South East, and ran all the way to the North to look like Buhari abi?

You no well at all.

moscobabs:
Is only in Africa we see Political post as Big deal,Your mum supposed to be a servant not a Master that need to be proud of.

I still like you for not disappoint your family in that house sa.

I disagree with you.

It is the case all over the world, not just in Africa.

Many public officers do not think that they are servants of the people.

Neddstark:
Tragedy happens everywhere in the world. But if this was Nigeria, Buhari and FG will take 95% of the blame. God protect us.

That's Nigerians for you.

Most of them are grossly pained over nothing. Hateful and mischievous!

Always driven by pettiness and emotions.

Someone even once said on this platform, while denigrating the train coaches acquired by the FG, that coaches like the ones Buhari bought couldn't be found anywhere in the US.

Accidents, like you pointed out, happen all over the world.

AntiBMC:
Wasted resources. His going to New York and coming back is in vain. He was not needed in New York and he was not missed in Nigeria. The only people that benefitted from his fruitless journey are the black Americans and the homeless bums he gave free money to hold placards. So we couldn't care less if he ever arrives.

You are either ignorant or suffer from eternal unknown pain.

Did you watch or read his speech to the UNGA76?

No person could have made the case on concerted global efforts against Terrorism, Arms Proliferation, Climate Change, Vaccine Equality, Economic Recovery etc, stronger than the president of the Continent's largest nation.

sammy329:
lockdown for one day in a week is different from one month, when you try to take the livelihood of people you will see real anger

I am from the South east.

Who's IPOB to keep people at home for a month?

That can't even happen for a week.

IPOB should go and sit down!

Felimax:
With all due respect sir, thunder fire you there. Is your president a nigerian president or a tribal president. Somebody who has the stupidity enough to refer to one region as a dot in the map.
Thunder fire you!

What is wrong with what the man said?

RodgersAkpafu:
Women suffrage came decades before Nigeria gained independence
So that example of Nigerian women voting from the beginning does not hold water
You speak of "tons of slums in the US and Britain"
Fine
There are rough areas
But what the population percentage who live in this conditions
In america it's one in five AT WORST
They say their poverty rate is 12.4% or so
Let's just make it 20% as I said one in five

What is the proportion of Nigerians living in squalid conditions IN NIGERIA?
Even the supposed high brow areas na nonsense with no proper drainage; central sewage system, and other amenities that a sub urban middle class area in Connecticut take for granted (most of the areas with few exceptions)

It's our acceptance of mediocrity and excusing it that put us in this mess that we are in

Who is talking about women suffrage?

There is a reason why I cited that as an instance. I was looking at imperfections of all human societies.

Proportion of persons living in squalors isnt the bone of contention here. The question is, are there squalors and slums in the US? Lets not use the grammar of 'proportion' to deviate from the issue.

This isn't about accepting mediocrity. You don't say because a country is still developing, then it is less or inferior to others. That makes no sense.

These developed countries passed through these phases as well.

I see that you deliberately avoided the roles of these so-called saintly nations in the looting of developing countries, especially in Africa...

planetx:
I just hate this very rampant attitude of always putting your race and continent down just to praise other races and continent. I just hate it because it is too prevalent on this forum. Everything is a put down and comparison like other races and continents don't have their challenges and missteps. How many African presidential palace have you visited to quickly arrive at the conclusion that we are all just terrible people and every one else is so much better. You people are just sick in the head with too much self hatred and inferiority complex. After telling us about your freedom in Brazil hope you will also tell the people you are trying to impress how black people are treated worse than dogs in Brazil.

God bless you real good.

It is called 'second-class mentality' or 'mediocrity'. It is the height of loss of self identity and human dignity.

Nigerians in the US will show you everywhere beautiful in the US...aren't there equally beautiful places in Nigeria?

Aren't there tons of slums and places across in the US without power supply, water and motorable roads?

It took the US over half a century before women were allowed to vote in elections, but in Nigeria, women started participating in elections from day 1.

Nigeria and Africa are fantastically corrupt...Yes, yet the US, UK and all the so-called saintly nations do not think it is a problem collaborating in warehousing these monies for them. Who is deceiving who?

We just keep putting ourselves down...

Emmymecus:
see any soldiers their noo,come my aso rock make you see flocks of soldiers

Show me the soldier in this picture of the Villa?

SirBunky85:
Oga,the place you visited is the allowed tourist area. where the president stays is still.far from the place you were allowed.

You dey mind the mugu?

Nigerians, always getting overly excited over nothing.

In JSS 1 at FGC, we visited certain places in the Villa during our excursion, including other landmarks such as the CBN, Agura Hotels, City Gate, National Mosque, The National Ecumenical Centre, ECOWAS Building, The International Conference Centre etc.

I did a similar visit in Mexico during my Corrosion Engineering Program in Aguascalientes, some years ago. There certainly are restricted areas.

sapientia:
You are lost

You can never be found.

Speakright79:
Baloney. I've been in this shithole for over 40 years and have never seen full pictures of either Dodan Barracks (when it was the seat of power in Nigeria) nor Asshole rock which is the current one. Which TV station has ever shown the full presidential villa including the buildings? Can you tell us how many buildings are in the villa?

What has your staying in Nigeria for 40 or 100 years got to do with the fact that pictures of the Villa being in the public space?

At age 9 or so, I and my schoolmates at FGC were at the Villa on excursion. Certainly, like everywhere in the world, you do not expect that access will be granted into every space at the Villa.

The Villa was even shown very well last week as FFK was received into the APC by President Buhari. FFK was shown right from when he alighted from the vehicle that brought he and Gov. Buni, up to when the climbed upstairs, to the President's office wing.

Na village you dey? Oga, I am a proper Abuja boy. Many 'everyday people' in Nigeria have being to the Villa. Some do regularly sef.

What has telling how many buildings are in the Villa got to do with anything? Quite childish!

Check the attached pictures and tell me if na una house for village that....

Kaiser20:
Jakpa Team will not like this news at all.

Lol.

Na person wey never go abroad before dem dey deceive. Jakpa is not entirely a bad idea, but it is not always as people think it.

E no get where life easy.

If you dey where you dey, where you no dey, go dey hungry you.

owobokiri:
The day I went inside the politburo hall in China was the day I knew that Nigerian rulers are evil! I walked around the whole place in company of my Chinese friend. Most of the Chinese government establishment revolves around The Tianamen square. Yet that place is the biggest tourist attraction for ordinary Chinese, who save up to go and see these places, including the summer palaces and the great wall. Very freely and with little disturbances.

Infact more security checks were only introduced at The Tianamen square as Islamic militancy grew , especially around the Muslim dominated region in China. It makes you think deeply! If a socalled communist country can be so free to allow her citizens to walk around the corridors of power , what's it that frightens Nigerian leaders? Because this is a Nigerian problem. No one has pictures of Aso Rock. Yet, even in places like Cotonou and Lome, you can easily walk up to the gates of the state houses.

Nigerians and lies...Nawa o.

As a student of a Unity School Abuja in the early 1990s, we went on excursions around Aso Rock (Presidential Villa).

Who told you people do not have pictures of Aso Rock?

Aso Rock wey dem dey show for TV every time...abi, you wan make dem show you as Buhari wear boxers lie down for bed?

daddytime:
This man no kukuma dey pity him account balance...

Toh

Oga, na Anambra man. So, forget account balance matter.

Maduka na 'grandmaster' for cash.

He singlehandedly built the tallest tertiary healthcare facility in the entire Igboland, worth billions.

No pity am at all for money side.

MrMaestro:
I agree. Now give Rivers, Lagos and other states their rights to collect their own VAT.

Nonsense!

Wetin una don achieve with 13% Derivation; Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs; NDDC; PAP; Pipeline Security Contracts etc?

No be only VAT....na TAV.

Maxymilliano:
All theses knee-jerk approach to governance in Nigeria. What has the governor, in his capacity as former student, rector and now Governor done to improve the learning conditions before now ?

We should build strong institutions, not individuals.

Exactly what the Governor's action seeks to achieve...strong institutions.

I do not see how it is his fault that the school was not being properly run.

He discovered that the school was being poorly managed and took immediate actions.

I think he deserves commendation from all and sundry.

How does being a student three decades ago and rector several years ago, make the Governor culpable for the maladministration of the school?

sapientia:
If he dont know what's happening in his alma mater

Which one will he know?

You think being a Governor is the same as taking a girl out on a date?

Is he the Governor of his Alma mater or Borno state? How much do you know about the school you left more than 3 decades ago?

Zulum is, by far, one of the most functional Governors in Nigeria.

A Fashola / Zulum presidency will certainly be the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria.

TarOrfeeek:
Thankfully she observed social distance

She would not want to be infected with failure.


Even me sef, I would have stood outside to greet Gen. Failure.

Buhari is responsible for her becoming the head of the WTO.

So, what are you yapping about?

She was so good yet did nothing as Finance minister, while Nigeria was being looted silliy under Jonathan..

For me, I see nothing spectacular about this woman.

Asgard73:
Yoruba man you know nothing...

Atiku held obasanjo hostage as a president .. that he has to beg to breath... because vindictive.. wen allow to breath.

Tinubu will remain Atiku boy.. if you know you know..

Na only Yoruba hide an open secret .

Lol.

How Atiku hold Obasanjo hostage?

How many Governors who left office in 2007 do you still hear about?

Does the fact that a former Governor is being placed side by side with a former Vice President not send a strong signal of influence, to you?

ORIENTATION101:
Atiku don't influence anywhere, just bunch of asslickers of his dollars.
He doesnt have any political structure even in his own state. He lost his own polling unit to Buhari, that says alot about his meagre popularity.

Atiku is just a moneybag, no influence anywhere.
Tinubu has more political structure in north than Atiku.
Tinubu is the most influential politican Alive in Nigeria both North and south

I agree with you 500%.

Asgard73:
Tinubu is a regional Yoruba god.

Atiku is a nationalist

Atiku, a nationalist?

Nawa o.

garfield1:
Tinubu is more influential

You are very correct.

Tinubu is way more influential than Atiku.

Ordinary Nigerians hardly hear anything significant about Atiku when it is not election time.

For someone whose highest political office was to be Governor of Lagos state...I will give it to Tinubu any day. He almost singlehandedly delivered 5 out of the 6 states in the SW to Buhari in 2015.

The same way he delivered Lagos and 4 other SW states to Jonathan in 2011.

Tinubu and Atiku no be mate at all, politically.

Truthissupreme:
Because of VAT, they want to bully him

Na the same Rivers oil una go use pay the loan which the cursed northern desert benefit from

Wike should not be bullied he should ditch those trash and concentrate on his VAT and Oil allocation

Buhari would have loved to, but the law doesn't just empowers rivers to receive FAAC but empowers it for 13% derivation as producer of oil

Buhari does not just want to be petty.

Did Obasanjo not do it to Lagos?

You go only go court until you taya...

But it is unnecessary.

Smithkafors:
You guys are only after election. What development has the governor and other politicians done. You start building airport just 2yrs to end of your tenure and be snapping pictures everywhere. We need developments in awka, nnewi and onitsha. . Etc

Mtchewww.

The issue of what the Governor has done is an issue for another day.

However, dem never born the terrorist group wey fit stop election for Anambra or anywhere in Nigeria...who be IPOB? Mtchewww.

Anambra's election is done and dusted.

Ifranyi Ubah, by his statement, is a plain coward.

So what happened when you had a PhD holder as president?...

Ask them for me.

Their PhD was, undoubtedly, the worst things that happened to us.

SmartMen:
SHUT UP... SHUT UP I SAY TO YOU...

It is either you don't know what you are saying or you are feigning because somehow the current structure favours you.

Firstly, Ebonyi is not doing much in terms of revenue generation.

Secondly, returning to regional autonomy will bring serious competition among states or allowing states to develop instead of spending time on Frivolous ventures. For instance, Niger Delta will be forced to talked to their youths so that oil companies can relocate their HQ back to the region instead of being in Lagos.

Let me tell you one: The North will be forced to sit up... Gombe governor has started initiation of collecting levy/tax from motorist and others. This is just a sign of what is to come. Another thing is that those funding terrorism in the North will be forced to look for something else. They will stop marrying and birthing anyhow. Most of the excesses and arrogance of the North is because of Southern docility and it MUST STOP!

EVEN the U.S where we copied this democracy has the autonomy of its states. Each state in the US has their laws and the president does not have the sole power as we have here.

Young man, you don't know what you are saying and It is annoying reading your comment.

Even South East where I am from is shamefully poor in revenue generation because they know that at the end of the month, they will use revenue from another state to patch their laziness. IT MUST STOP AND IT HAS TO STOP. Let every state cut their coat according to their cloth.

it does not look like you know the damages that spending money that you do not earn causes. Even on individual level, I have seen this turn people into lazy parasites, often entitled.

Lengthy nonsense!

There is nothing wrong with Nigeria's current governance structure.

People should hold their Councillors, LG Chairmen and State Governors more accountable.

I am happy you mentioned that you are from the South East...( though, I would still have known where you are from, without your saying it).

Let me ask you...who ended Nigeria's regionalism, and why?

You need to know the details to understand what you are saying.
