PoliticsRe: Senator Kalu To Igbos: Don't Expect Anything From APC-Led Federal Government by DavIkenna(m): 3:08pm On Jun 23, 2019
You shouldn't have made this remark. Your people are your people and having the opportunity as an APC member to be in the Senate is your opportunity to speak for your people whether they voted your party or not. Is also an opportunity for you to win our minds and stance on APC led govt.

LordCenturion:
Interesting.... This election go hot die,its unpredictable , keep it coming please.




Ipod terrorists and wailing dirty nyammirin pigs were so blinds to the extent that if Atiku said he want to use them for money ritual as we are speaking,they will agree. PDP are very dangerous than other parties but they see the party as a party of saints. PDP and this people are one of the reason why buhari can't do whatever he wanted to do in order to move the country forward,even he hasn't spent up to 2 months on power before they started wishing him death,a time come when they said he's 72,please help ask them if they know the age of Atiku they are supporting... Hypocrites confused backwards illiterate people
My brother d hyprocrite & illiterate na me and u putting mouth into things we do not understand.
Buhari dn has bn n and knows govt for decades (means he knows d political men & parties in/out) , so no excuse for failing.
My brother some people n Apc were once n pdp vice versa even buhari has gone for party to party, why? He wants power. All of them na d same. They want power nd not to lead.
My brother nothing like ipob terrorist. Even other tribes (Efik, hausa, Yoruba) dn dwell nd keeps dwelling & doing business n ipob territory/land, yet dey never throw dem bomb or say mk dem leave. Infact northeners coming to east wants to dwell n d east esp those who came Tru nysc cos they coexist peacefully with the easterners.

You need to listen to that Wike phone recording of this week where he threatened that if all the INEC STAFF he bribed don't do his bidding or return his money, he would kill all of them!
It will make you realise how compromised with money, these INEC officials are.
Thus Mahmood might also be part of the plan or why was he supporting ballot snatchers?
You see, I v a strong feeling on it.
But for Wike, na strong man for politics.

We don't give animals special treatment. For reason of extinction, government shld v collection of animals breeding in a secured place. Whereas any other animal outside it is for game

Mind u, there is no law preventing animals from attacking humans or understanding dat we r humans nd can also go extinct.

The children's parents are in the best position to assess the program, not an elite whose children are probably living and schooling in America.
During dere time, we're dey fed and dey became wat dey r today.

As he said, channel d money into developing dis schools so dat children can learn. Or offer free education for nursery to secondary

PoliticsNigeria’s Election: Young Voters, Old Candidates by DavIkenna(op): 6:25pm On Feb 14, 2019
Two men in their 70s are contesting a Nigerian presidential election in which half the registered voters are aged between 18 and 35.

Both are familiar faces. It is the fifth election campaign for President Muhammadu Buhari, 76, who was a military ruler in the 1980s, and the fourth for main opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar, 72, who was vice president from 1999 to 2007.

It means Saturday’s vote offers little hope of change for young people in a country where nearly a quarter of the workforce is unemployed – a source of frustration that has the potential to spill over into violence.

“I should be happy, but I’m not happy because the two candidates aren’t what I expected,” said Dorcas Nathaniel, a student in the capital, Abuja, who planned to vote for the first time.

Nathaniel said she had hoped at least one of the candidates would have policies she found inspiring, but neither did. At 20, she is in the under-35 age group who make up 51 percent of the 84 million registered voters.

Anyone seeking an alternative – someone who, unlike the main two candidates, is not a well-known, elderly, northern Muslim man from the Fulani ethnic group – has been disappointed.

The similarities between the two are largely due to an unofficial power-sharing agreement under which the presidency alternates between the north and south after every two four-year terms. It is now the turn of the mainly Muslim north.

The rest of the more than 70 presidential candidates lack access to funds available to Buhari and Atiku through parties that have governed Nigeria since military rule ended in 1999 – the All Progressives Congress and People’s Democratic Party. The two men have also developed patronage networks over decades in politics.

BUYING VOTES

John Sunday, a 23-year-old student in the Makoko shanty town built on stilts in a lagoon in Lagos, said many people in the community were more interested in accepting cash from political parties than choosing their preferred candidate.

“People are after money, they’re not after the future of their children. They are selling their votes,” said Sunday, a political science student.

“Vote buying” is not new but Sunday said for many in the slum district – where people travel in canoes through waterways littered with plastic waste, and the stench of excrement hangs in the air – life is getting tougher.

Nearly a quarter of the workforce is unemployed. Hardest-hit are those aged 15-35, of whom 55 percent are out of work or not in full-time jobs.

The cost of living has also risen rapidly, with inflation hitting a seven-month high of 11.4 percent in December.

Cheta Nwanze, head of research at Lagos political consultancy SBM Intelligence, said poverty and higher living costs were a cause of violent crime as young, unskilled men tried to make money outside official employment.

“The economy isn’t growing anywhere near enough to support them,” he said. “When you have such a situation, the outcome is that all sorts of people will rise up to fill in the gaps.”

INSECURITY

Nigeria’s security forces face challenges ranging from Islamist insurgencies, banditry, kidnappings in the oil-rich Niger Delta and communal violence over land use.

Nigeria also has a history of violence at election time, sometimes involving thugs paid to intimidate voters but
also as a result of anger at alleged vote rigging.

Buhari and Atiku have both sought to address the needs of those unable to find work in a weak economy struggling to recover from its first recession in 25 years.

The president said the expansion of a nationwide vocational skills programme could yield more than 15 million new jobs. And he said education was a priority, vowing to retrain teachers to focus on science, technology and mathematics.

Atiku wants to expand the role of the private sector to create growth and jobs. These include pledges to privatise the state oil company and create a $25 billion fund to support private sector infrastructure investment.
