Now I know there is something amiss here.

VENEZUALA where there is total anarchy? Does he know how many years it will take that country to get back?

SUDAN - Which has hit a directionless motion? Libya started like them?

While I agree there are challenges in Nigeria, I think it is somewhat out of place to be comparing us to these two countries.

Current population of Nigeria is put at 201 million!

So, should we start celebrating that a country with more than Six Trillion Naira in tax income is ready to receive 10 coaches?

If one coach takes 20 people, that means we now have additional capacity for 200 people.

When are we going to reach 200 million?

Good step, but I think it is NOTHING to trump your chest about.

ERORR404:
Women have never liked working

How can that be true?

The PM of some of the greatest countries are women - Germany, UK come to mind.

There are leading banks in Nigeria with women either as CEO or as Chairpersons. Do you realize what it takes to get there?

You should re-phrase your statement. People make their choices. There are male prostitutes just as you have female prostitutes.

How many females have been arrested as armed robbers or kidnappers, compared to males?

Gender has nothing to do with it.

demo crazy.

demo crazy on display.

this is like a man waking up at 1 pm and organising photographers to take shots to celebrate a 'new' day!

and then he goes to party from there.

by the time the party is over he finds there are no drugs in the hospitals and the doctors have all moved to another clime where people wake up at 6a.m!

demo crazy!

Stop wasting our time.

All of you politicians are largely the same.

You make so much noise and achieve so little when you are given the position.

Did this ex minister hear Prof Soyinka speak a few days ago?

Their generation failed Nigeria.

We had a president who spent 16 billion dollars to procure darkness and to enrich India and the other makers of transformers.

16 years and there was no remarkable difference in anything - education, health, power remained comatose.

Then came the 'progressives' - what exactly is their plan, we dont know.

Sadly, they dont realize that four years is gone already, and all they can talk about is that they are growing rice as if they are farmers!

Ghana, next door, is crying out to Nigeria. WAKE UP from your coma, she says

USA or UK with so many medical schools wont dare say this!

Does this minister understand what he is saying?

Does he have statistics?

Sometimes our politicians speak like they wake up early to drink something!

Atiku claiming Adamawa as his state of origin all these while is tantamount to claiming that he is neither from Jigawa nor Sokoto, and became a citizen of Adamawa when Jada was ceded to Nigeria!

The next question then is - Can he contest as President?

Let us allow the courts to interpret.

Confusionists.

Failed generation.

Atiku just admitted that he was born in Cameroun and only moved back to Nigeria.

I am not a legal expert. But now, I think he has to prove that his parents were truly Nigerian and that the parents did not claim to be Camerounians while they lived there. How does he do that?

It is further complicated by the fact that he has been claiming Adamawa as his state of origin. That part of Adamawa that he has been claimimg became Nigeria only by plebiscite. He has just submitted a major testimony against himself that he was not born Nigerian and only became Nigerian after the referendum which made his part of Adamawa part of Nigeria!

The constitution of Nigeria stipulates you must be Nigerian by birth to become President.

Seems a masterstroke to even stop him from ever contesting again.

prince3009:
I know of a guy who set up a charging point in his house here in Abuja with the use of Solar panels, a 2.5kv inverter and 6 pieces of 2v 4000ah batteries which he uses to charge his Volvo XC jeep which is completely electric.

The jeep can be charged natively from a wall socket but since he was on prepaid metering, he noticed that it was draining his credit hence he had to go solar.

The car obtains full charge within 2 hours and can cover over 150km at a single charge.

He spent over a million naira for the project which also powers part of his house

There are electric cars in Lagos.

Once people realize it is good economics they will follow the route....

We dont need any laws banning or unbanning!

Observer007:
This is just waste of news space and readers' time. When the right time comes we won't need all these bills sponsoring and debates; we would be compelled to adjust willy-nilly.

Thanks.

This the common sense way to go.

These law makers are jobless.

Of all the things in Nigeria begging for attention they are here talking about electric cars.

Where are the laws to make certain lands only accessible for agriculture?

What are the laws to make agric lands affordable, so as o promote massive emplyment in that sector?

Where are the laws to prohibit multiple taxation?

Many more...

Funny.

I dont know how Ben Bruce is thinking.

You want to kill the mainstay of your economy by law.

To enact such a law will mean that companies will stop investing in refining petrol in Nigeria in the next few years.

Really funny proposition to say the least.

Coming at a time Dangote is building the world'ss largest refinery in Nigeria.

What do you call this now? Complete absence of common sense.

Like for Saraki

Share for Buhari

Buhari this

Saraki that

Gullible shallow minds are ever busy praising or abusing men (whichever suits them) but while that is going on Buhari and Saraki are sharing toasts and teas!

Get to work, you e-rats. Dont let cheap data steal your future.

Stop wasting your time commenting on men who have achieved great things in their lives.

You call PMB funny names... It is pointing back at you. Only dumb people would have allowed a so-called 'dumb-man' rule their country for more than 10 years in his (PMB's) lifetime.

Seriously!

APC

What is the plan?

Apart from rowing Rice and feeding school children?

What is the PLAN?

The man does not know that hacking a government server is a crime.

The man does not know that you cannot contest and be president if you are not a Nigerian by birth.

The man does not know that it is simply unjust to sell Nigerian prime asset to friends.

Something must be added to our constitution very urgently....I think the British have something like that.....if you cannot win your primary constituency you will never be allowed to hold elective office....

Charity begins at home. If where you claim as home is not home people will not be surprised if the citizens there do not support with their votes.

Clearly, PDP goofed big time by fielding Atiku!

To be President, the constitution says you must be NIGERIAN BY BIRTH.

Atiku himself has goofed on this.

There is no way a law court will go against the letters of the constitution. the paper did not say you must be a Nigerian (Atiku qualifies in that case) but it says you must be a Nigerian by birth.

End of discussion.

End of ambition.

It's a lesson for all... Any talent without character is like a tea without sugar..... Costa should have learnt his lesson since.

Or even sugar without tea!

Real good news.

Another maximum ruler removed.

People should stop comparing him with PMB. Here there was election, and from primaries to secondary elections, the people elected thugs, tyrants and moneybags. Dont complain for what you used your own money to buy in the market!

Anyway...Africa shall rise again and I pray Nigeria is not left behind!

Is his candidacy good for Nigeria?

Politicians? Call it a triumph of some evil against another!

Nigerians must insist on a christian Senate President....

majamajic:

the Police men that normally stay under that national stadium bridge, Two guys with Honda baby boy ( they look like g guys) police tried to pull them but they don't want to obey , the Police guy cork his gun telling them to pull yet they didn't , as they tried to escape I was coming from alaka side, they almost hit my car , if not that I swerve to stadium side, I nearly hit school children in that process.

yet the guys escaped towards Mushin route. the Police men started laughing .

this kin story will soon happen under that stadium bridge. , cos they point gun at drivers every minute there,

National Stadium - they do have a reputation around there!

FAKE NEWS ARE MOSTLY RELEASED AFTER 10PM BY MISCHIEF MAKERS WHO WANT TO SET THE COUNTRY ON FIRE.

IGNORE FAKE NEWS.

Which fake server is that? The one supplied by PDP?

The result that was ready before the election?

It is not a restaurant...

Its a place that Chinese meet up!

Dear Nigerian Politicians,

We all know that from time most of you, if not all, have been engaged in sharp and nocturnal practices anytime there are elections. Perhaps, we have some new generation parties who have decided to break off from these terrible acts, yet we know these new parties, added together, do not even have up to two percent of the total votes.

We hardly know the difference between APC and PDP! We know that many of the people in APC were in PDP up till PDP lost power some four years ago. So, it is the same players. You are known to rig wherever you seem to have strength. If we go by the accounts, the recent elections had the traits of the same old rigging habits perpetrated by the same old players.

So, we are tired of your ways. We dont want you to rig the courts and corrupt judges. We need true change. The elections have consumed just enough, except that lawyers are routing for their own share.

If the elections are held afresh, will you not rig? You have the answers, I am sure. So, what is the point doing it again?

About time for you to stop rigging. The only practical way to do that is not to contest again, and now to employ your energies to stop all forms of rigging, since most of you know the tricks, and of course, you are able to block the loopholes.

Please leave a legacy to the generations coming by stopping abuse, corruption and rigging.

The Dele Momodu article was indeed full of journalistic mischief.

It was terrible.

Jayslicky:
So is this news worthy, saraki's sister is an apc member, what would she say other than what is in her party's favour, she is fighting for her political career and cheap points like this may just catapult her political status, everyone is fighting for their personal ambition, so there is no suprise seeing a sister saying bad things about her brother.

Gbemi Saraki is the APC member.

The person who spoke is Oyinkan!

While it is true that INEC is meant to be independent, the President still needs to call his men to order and to do that very quickly.

Politics in Nigeria is too much of a do or die affair.

What is playing out now is 2023 and not even 2019.

Some desperados are clearing the ground ready so they can have 'rigging advantage' in 2023.

PMB, please call your boys and girls to order.

Source?

How authentic is the source?

Beware of fabricated news, otherwise known as fake news!
