FIRST ADJUST THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. IT IS MONSTROUSLY BIG AND INEFFECTIVE. WE ARE OKAY WITH ONE HOUSE. SCRAP THE SENATE TOTALLY.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

kingzizzy:
If in 2019, the two main presidential candidates happen to become, Ayo Fayose (PDP) vs Rochas Okorocha (APC)

Which of these two candidates do people think the Yoruba nation will vote for?

NONE OF THE ABOVE.

Dino or Bello - What is the difference?

Sad.

What is the difference between this guy and some of our politicians? Whistle-blowing should extend to - smugglers, corrupt customs officials, ex ministers and commissioners, etc.

Nigeria should declare a national 3 month amnesty for financial crimes and do a clamp-down thereafter.

The fellow should not be a banker at all.

Rogue banker.....his actions are predicable...even if not reported he will soon disgrace himself. Shame

Where do the mallams get their forex?

The BDCs should learn some business sense from them as well, instead of crying foul all the time! The BDCs have been too greedy. Period. Why do you want to gain more than 50 kobo or one naira on the dollar?

Lets hear what the long time senator will say!

What is the full meaning of FFK?

THE TWO THINGS THESE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT - CONTESTING AND WINNING. BEYOND THAT THEY ARE COMPLETELY EMPTY. IF THERE IS A THIRD THING THEN ITS LOOTING!

NORTH OR SOUTH WHO CARES?

AT ANY RATE THIS COUNTRY HAS TO DECIDE - DO WE WANT TO BE ONE NATION OR DO WE WANT TO GO OUR WAYS? HOW LONG SHALL WE PONDER ON THIS?

IF YOU CHECK PROPERLY, THESE OLD FOLKS ARE THE ONES FANNING THE FLAME OF SEPARATION. IT SUITS THEIR LOOTING AGENDA.

HE SHOULD PLEAD WITH HIS WIFE TO BAIL HIM OUT!

The guy looks so strong. He could make money as a wrestler, boxer or athlete. But he chose the wrong path. I hope he gets someone to counsel and pray the prayer of deliverance for him.

Absurd!

All mouth....Just looking for power.

nkwuocha:
Yet another bunkum! What's wrong with our youth this days? JESUS. Even if he was single, does that makes it right?

Can you imagine? I wonder how they think.

How can a lecturer with all the powers he has claim the girl seduced him? Like saying she dragged him into it! Very silly excuse. She should name the second lecturer and they should both face the law. This is an abuse of office and we have had enough of this.

LordAdam16:
Exactly. Omohayek is intelligent in the technical aspects of how to get Nigeria back on track, but very myopic on the personnel side of things.

Nigeria can never have an all-round President that satisfies all the whims. It is impossible.

Fashola, Soludo, and El-Rufai are not better than Yar'Adua or GEJ.

All 3 of these younger "bright" minds he mentioned are excessively more corrupt than GEJ both individually and collectively.

Yar'Adua was a Marxist but had the most respect for the rule of law of all Nigerian leaders post-1999.

GEJ was the first Southern minority leader in the history of Nigeria and he knew if he wanted to maintain any iota of legacy, he didn't have to be act like a strong military man putting enemies in the gallows. It was the smart thing to do but it wasn't even enough.

Fashola, Soludo, and el-Rufai would perform in their own way, but they'd also bring lots of baggage.

Fashola would tax Nigerians to the high heavens and make Buhari's pummeling sound like child's play.

Soludo doesn't know how to manage people and he'd fight with everybody.

el-Rufai may likely lead Nigeria to a civil war. All of them would be doubly corrupt than any Nigerian Leader in recent history.

Buhari should never have become President, that much is certain. But now that he is president, let us not pretend that he is the only one at fault. He increased Amaechi's Ministry allocation by 1000% compared to what GEJ gave the Ministry, and Amaechi squandered it calling completion of a 80%-completed project (he himself said it this week) an achievement.

Fashola's rating is a tad below average, for all the freedom, responsibility, and money given him. If GEJ had given Barth the same level of freedom and backing as Buhari has given Fashola, Barth would outperform Fashola convincingly.

Let's not even talk about Osinbajo and Adeosun who were in charge of the economy and took 18 months to put together a fiscal plan. 18 MONTHS!!!

Compare these so-called super ministers to ministers like Mohammed and Ibe and it becomes apparent that they have ZERO excuses.

You can't make hard line economic decisions without holding the polity in your grip comfortably. If Osinbajo had removed subsidy there would have been more protests than happened when Buhari removed subsidy. It has nothing to do with being weak, it's all about the mindset of the polity.

GEJ sacked the Attorney General and disbanded the cabinet to remove all Yar'Adua loyalists days after he was made Acting President while Yar'Adua was still alive. GEJ looked America in the eye and told them to Bleep off when they wouldn't provide weapons. He looked EU in the eye and told them to lick his backside when they brought their imperialist economic plan. He embraced China when the West was blowing hot. He privatized power despite the opposition. He implemented BVN and IPPPS despite the opposition from the polity. If he had worked out the kinks of the TSA and Whistle Blowing programmes in time, he would have implemented them.

Yet despite all of this, he is called a weak person. Someone who sacked the House of Representatives and cowed the legislature, something Buhari wouldn't dare do. Someone who disregarded the Northern Leaders and the Sultan to impose emergency rule in Northern states.

I don't know what you guys wanted from the man. 3 regions had already vowed to frustrate his government, 1 region was crying about marginalization, 2 others said he wasn't doing enough. There was evidence of complicity from people in his government, the military, and the polity in the rise of Boko Haram, should he have become a dictator like Erdogan, before he'd have been termed strong.

Or should he have placed his few core loyalists in a sea of open and hidden disloyalists on the chopping block just to please a populace that didn't see beyond their nose when he wanted to remove subsidy or the same disloyalists?

Omohayek can call GEJ's government corrupt, every government in Nigeria is corrupt including the present one, but never in his life should he call him weak and incompetent. That is completely untrue. For a minority civilian president, he was phenomenal.

-Lord

You are right on this aspect - There is no single Nigerian that can be a 'perfect' president - They will all come with their flaws. Its high time we come to terms that we have problems with the followership, like we have with leadership. Travel on the streets of Lagos or Abuja or PH and see how self-centred our country men are. In a society where people worship self you should not suddenly expect to have a 'messiah' president. The orientation is warped. Like followers like leaders! OBJ came, saw and was conquered, so did GEJ. They may have had their good intentions but I really think Nigeria is tough to govern because the people are so fixated on themselves!

EVEN OSINBAJO IS NOT PRAYING THAT 'ANYTHING HAPPENS' TO BUHARI, SO WHAT IS YOURS? PMB IS ALIVE AND WE PRAY HE GETS WELL. PERIOD.

A notable gathering of law breakers!

What a shame?

Thats why we are in a recession!

Government people have kept government money in private houses and they have spend some on private jets.

Magu is helping to recover the CHANGE and some people are complaining!

malton:
Well, FFK is a pathetic excuse for a human being.

Hate, controversies, and creating divisions are the core of his existence.

Give him an appointment and all that will stop! I dont think people in PDP even take him serious!

FFK, whats your business in someone's disposition to his boss?

We all know the VP is committed and very serious about Nigeria's development and welfare and that is what we care about.

Afterall, in south west the younger always treats the older with respect, except for people with complete lack of direction and tangent!

Why dont you find a job?

ALL THE ENEMIES OF NIGERIA WILL BE RELOCATED THIS YEAR. AMEN

hazyfm1:
Church in an Estate?? I don't know what the Law says about that.


Lawyers in the House food don land

Church is meant for human beings and should be close as much as possible to human beings.

I supported PMB till yesterday when that letter was made public.

Now I agree with those who accuse him of acute nepotism - The South now has to unite against this common 'enemy'. the unseen northern elements who think they must always rule Nigeria. Let us join hands to make them the new 'minority!

I withdraw my support fromPMB from today though I still pray he recovers. What kind of nonsense is this? NONSENSE letter indeed. Osinbajo is acting President...period!

VERY VERY GOOD NEWS. THOSE PEOPLE CAN HARRASS. AND THEY TARGET FAIRLY NEW CARS AND LEAVE THE CARS THAT ARE NOT ROAWORTHY TO PASS. ALWAYS SWARMING AROUND CARS. CREATING NUISSANCE.

HE MADE SO MUCH NOISE AGAINST OBJ UNTIL OBJ INVITED HIM.

HE MADE SO NOISE AGAINST GEJ TILL GEJ INVITED HIM.

HE CHOPPED AND CHOPPED AND IS POSSIBLY GETTING BROKE!

SO HE STARTS MAKING SO MUCH NOISE AGAINST PMB....BUT PMB WONT BUDGE.

SOMEBODY HELP THIS FELLOW QUICKLY TO TREAT HIM OF WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH HIM.

baike:
what is this one saying

I wonder!

Trump was right. Nigerians love vanities, food and play.....but to work is a problem, so much so that we have so much coal, oil, water (for dams) yet we dont have light!
