then what stop him from tendering his resignation.

jaxxy:
Again I agree with u the the people are part of the problem. I never removed or exempted them from what has been bedeviling this country. The average Nigerian is a plague to himself and others which doesn’t do anyone any good simply because of his mindset!

The mindset is the problem of the average Nigerian on the street or on the internet like Nairaland. Most of what I read here makes me sad and sorry for this country bt I’m not discouraged maybe cos I believe change can be fast tracked with the right catalyst or trigger.

We are not the only multi religious country I believe or multiethnic bt one thing must be above all these differences at all times for things to work and thats why I said our systems are the solution. The people’s mentality must shift bt It is a huge task to shift 150 million people’s mindset, the other way around it wud be to conform them to strong systems irrespective of who u are. I still do not believe this is rocket science bt it won’t be easy bt can be done. And has to be done.

Waiting 50 years is like waiting for a natural sequence of generational change to hopefully change the mindset or the country’s make up or sheer luck. Lol

That is exactly what I am saying.
Qualitative leadership knows the capacity of a nation, understands the psyche of its people and acts accordingly.

Qualitative leadership then either strategizes around these perceived weaknesses to neutralize them or ensures these weaknesses are not tested by acting in this case to prevent this pandemic.

It is all about capacity. The leadership of this country simply does not understand this country and its people. That is failure.

Sorry, but Mr. President on whose seat the buck stops does not understand Nigeria. He does not know this country is largely informal without data structures. He doesn't know half live below the poverty line so cannot save for a rainy day making isolation imaterial....

Please we donot have a cerebral goverment. Too dull, too ignorant, always behind the curve and cannot find the way out of problems. These are the things the citizens vote for. They donot vote for people who will turn back and blame them for problems.

You donot go to a doctor to receive blame but cures for your ailment. When he starts to blame you know he has no cure but excuses.

Agboriotejoye:
Are we not talking about Lagos, Ogun and FCT? The most hungry Nigerians don't live in those states. They may be below the poverty line but surely not the most hungry. Besides most of them in those states have a smartphone or know someone who has.

For the poorest Nigerians who live in rural areas spread across the country, the PUs data from INEC can be used to locate such places and the village heads can be used to identify them per family. There's nothing that can't be done. It's about careful planning and the willpower to do it.

TheWrita:
You really think the citizens of other countries are not as undisciplined as we are or maybe even more?Trust me they are.They only pretend to behave because they know there are consequences for bad behaviour.Price to pay.

jaxxy:
Hmmm correct right institution and just like I said Systems.

Bt how long does it take to put right System/institutions in place is the big question??!!!

Not so long I believe for a country as old and even as diverse as Nigeria. Like I said earlier it’s not rocket science. The issue is starting the journey, we have not started. We are not on the part to good institutions yet.

Look at the Dubai model, Singapore etc... Transformation took place in less than 10/15 years. The right leadership at the end of the day is still needed to kickstart the process.

Change starts from the top. I believe. Check how most countries changed it was either from the top or a revolution from below which still changes the top and then flows back down to the bottom. Change is from the Top.

jaxxy:
It just takes one man and 1/2 tenures to fix this country completely or start that change. It’s not rocket science bt we must correct our systems. That’s the major issue.

I have come to understand Nigerians are not innately corrupt or atleast more corrupt than others in sane countries.

It’s Our SYSTEMS that are highly and fantastically corrupt and not exactly the people. The system is framework/what allows the people to be corrupt, infact the system corrupts even the incorruptible ones. It is that bad. We must purge and strengthen our SYSTEMS with high integrity!

Our systems are evidently built to perpetrate and encourage corruption. It will not change until System are upgraded and updated.

You are the one who needs to think.

The fewer the hours the lesser the people exposed to the virus

frubben:
did anybody force him to campaign during election? If he can't rule, he should fucking step his flat ass down .


My opinion sha which am entitled to

executive12:
How's Nigeria the most complex country in the world? It's actually the other way around. We have been getting very useless Nigerians as Presidents, with Buhari clearly qualifying as the worst so far.
In this fight against covid-19, compare Buhari to other world leaders who have been showing leadership, while Buhari is missing in action.

TheWrita:
Nigeria is not complex.It just doesn't have the right people at the helm of affairs.The least this useless government would have done was try to stop the disease from entering in the first place.They had plenty of time to prevent it.Because there was no way lock down can be effective in the poverty capital of the world.Another thing let's stop policing people who criticize.He is a citizen and has every right to air his view.You should too.

obi58:
Opening the market makes no sense? Really?

Agboriotejoye:
I know you're a govt sympathiser but it's not so complex.
We have online delivery platforms the govt could engage with the army providing a logistics base.

All you have to do is get an app which can be used to make purchases. The goods are then delivered by the online companies. Their stocks are supplied by the military bringing foodstuffs from the hinterland to areas on lockdown.

The problem is our govt doesn't think about local solutions. We only copy what others are doing.

About criticising govt, I don't see what's wrong with that except you want to accept criticising Jonathan's govt too was wrong.

merbenko:
And what is your point exactly, are you justifying the government foolishness or are you criticizing the good citizens of Nigeria

Salvador1:
I shall never be as confuse as buhari and his government.


Clueless, incompetence and directionless govt

Hofbrauhaus:
Lol...what exactly is the point? Won't the covid-19 still spread like that? Abi the virus has a particular time it comes out??

Foolishness wey dey this country fit kill person o.

I'm tired of Nigeria. Being a Nigerian is exhausting.
BTW I'm bored. I can't do this for another 24hrs,...

LibertyRep:
But what difference does it now make? Does the virus become impotent within those hours?

The truth is that we can never sustain a total lockdown like in those organized countries.

If we survive this, it should call for sober reflection and examine the very foundation of this country.

DirtyGold:
As I've ssid before, I still don't understand what the deal is about this covid19 bullshit though...
How can a chinese flu with very low mortality rate ground almost all sectors of a civilized world?

Imagine this quote for America alone: "The CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 22,000 deaths, 36 million flu illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations. The 2019-2020 influenza outbreak is moderate to low in ..." Yet, not even a single county has been locked down in America due to flu (which is a yearly thing by the way)! But coronavirus showed up and everywhere scattered

What's tha business?

jstbeinhonest:
Ramos' s goal in the 2016 final was offside. Take that goal off and Real lose.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt5OYe50lO8

The games vs Bayern in 2017 was terrible but for some reason people seem to have forgotten about it.

Vidal was given a 2nd yellow for this in 2017


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7W17lEQqJI

Also Ronaldo scored two offside goals


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHjq0B2PyB0

If that was Barça, the world wouldn't have slept.

jstbeinhonest:
DeLima Ronaldo beat Pele.... Lol Clowns.

Gten:
The mere commissioner has suddenly found his voice, Abba Kyari would be back shortly.

NOTE TO THOSE QUOTING:
I am a thousand times better than the mere commissioner cum ASO spokesperson. Swallowing trash in the hope of 2023 presidency, I am a freeborn and boldly pass!
CHOKE ON THE BAD GOVERNMENT YOU ARE SUPPORTING!

You asked for it. Messi vs Ronaldo Laliga stats


https://messivsronaldo.net/

Jokerman:
Oga Ronaldo has not been consistent in one club... He has played in 4 clubs, so the number if games is bound to happen and Ronaldo wasn't naturally a forward, he was a provider and chance creator at sporting and man utd days

Let compare their laliga statistics

Jokerman:
Lol.... All time stats

Ronaldo still leads in goals... Messi only leads in assists....so??

FergieRaww:

Beat that bro

Martinez39s:
This is a big lie! Is it that you Barca fans are liars or you guys don't remember your matches. In the 3-3 draw at Camp Nou in the 2006/07 season, Madrid were not thrashing Barça 3-0. Ruud Vanisterooy scored first then Messi scored to make it 1-1; Vanisterooy then scored a penalty before made it 2-2 after scoring from a Ronaldinho's rebound. Ramos made it 3-2 before Messi scored late to make it 3-3. Get the facts about your club right.

This is another lie. The game ended 2-2 at Sevilla even though Barcelona came back from a 2-0 deficit with goals from Suarez and Messi. However, that match wasn't a crucial match that Messi was needed the most and FC Barcelona would have still won the La Liga if they have lost the match.

What part of "WAY MORE OFTEN THAN MESSI" don't you understand? That statement doesn't imply that Messi has never helped his team to comeback. Haba! You clearly haven't been following my argument since I started commenting on this thread.

It seems you guys don't know the meaning of choking. You guys are also leaving out the fact that unlike Ronaldo, Messi and his teams on many occasions have bottled things up.


Keep fooling yourself. The Liverpool comeback at Anfield is what then? There is something like comeback and there is reason why everyone regarded that semifinal as a miracle. Comebacks are amazing, and even more amazing when orchestrated by a single player. There is a reason why that Anfiels comeback and bottling up by Messi and his team painfully lingered in the memory of Barça fans for a long time until many experience revenge vicariously through Atletico Madrid when Atletico knocked out Liverpool this season. Keep fooling yourself. If there is nothing like comeback, what do you call the 6-1 victory at Camp Nou against PSG?

If Liverpool were leading 3-0 in the first leg and Barca came back with Messi scoring four goals, you and other Barca would have masturbated over that and called Messi the GOAT. Maybe you guy aren't used to the Ronaldo's kind of comeback and saviour complex at crucial moments, hence you talk like this.

Messi is better than Ronaldo, but you are missing my argument. Here is my clarifying post on this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/669609/fc-barcelona-fan-thread-mes/3951#87937503

My argument isn't about who is the better player.
