A bit fair at my axis in Woji. ...average of 15 hours daily. ...

Some people will literally commit suicide!

I have always deplored political impunity and our politicians' utter disrespect for the Nigerian masses. To them, we're not more than a means to their ends; a tool to their power and stupendous wealth; a vehicle to their utmost ease, enjoyment and comfort. They have always treated us with the deepest disdain and disregard; they consider us a burden to their path of thievery, looting, power, influence and political masturbation. They have never hidden their disgust for us. As far as they are concerned, we do not have much say over the governance of this nation-our beloved Nigeria. While Nigeria is a nation and a home to us, its a farm and money machine to these tiny group of people.

I think all that's about to change. I cant wait for this transformation. Its a step in the positive direction for Nigeria as a whole. I pray we have peaceful elections. NO to violence. No to wanton destruction of life and properties. Nigeria is about to leap into its path of growth, development and overall improvement in the standard of living.

How?

AN APC/GMB VICTORY

There's no denying the fact that the game has really changed this time. It will amount to a delusion of grandeur to have the PDP dismiss this time the APC like it has done in the past. Its NO smooth ride for the PDP anymore. Whoever says or sees otherwise is being deceived. There's a possibility of GMB being declared the winner of the forthcoming general elections.

What His Victory Portends

This is the main purpose of this very brief article. A strong message will be sent to our politicians, that its no longer going to be business as usual. And that increases the power we wield as masses. Never shall the masses be relegated to the background like it has always being the case. Never again. Imagine our politicians vying into an office with that kind of mindset! The masses win. Nigeria wins.

A PDP/GEJ VICTORY

He will have no option than do better. The masses win. Nigeria wins. The era when an incumbent or a ruling party does not deliver to the best of its ability will be gone. PDP shall than be a better and greater party. The masses will be winner. The PDP wont repeat some of the critical mistakes it has done in the past. Some sections believe it will get worse if GEJ wins, but nothing could be further from the truth; he can ONLY get better. He's got a better understanding of the expectations of the average Nigerian.

AT THE END

At the end, the masses shall now believe in themselves; appreciate the massive power they wield; have a greater say on how they shall be governed. Nigeria shall be great. Again.
The era of political indifference and apathy will be gone, and never again shall the masses be at the mercy of not only corrupt, but also wicked, demonic and devilish men and women. Power belongs to the people, and it's time the people act it out!
I think, notwithstanding whoever wins amongst the two candidates, the masses, and Nigeria by extension, is the biggest winner.

God bless GMB
God bless GEJ, Mr President
God bless Nairaland.
God bless Nigeria!

Humans are very quick to forget history, thereby repeat history!

For a dyed-in-the-wool TANoid, you do talk a lot of sense sometimes.
Just thought I 'd share that observation with you.

My greatest loyalty remains with Nigeria. That I support Mr President doesn't make me agree with his pattern all the times.

The cost of governance is a huge burden! We won't progress if we keep wasting too much funds on paying salaries and emoluments.

The overfed and lazy lawmakers are not left out!

Grossly inadequate.

Anything less than a 50% reduction, to me, is a joke.

clevvermind:
Immediately you join apc, the next is to lose your senses.

Very true! Cases abound to prove your theory right! In fact, I believe there's an arm within it where people are radicalised as soon as they start waving the brooms!

For the sake of your health, never take any words seriously that are spewed from the lips of Lai Mohammed.

This is another addition to the strata of lies and false propaganda aimed at destroying the peace in the land.

Since this administration, who can point to one case of politically motivated murder? These folks are taking this game to far; but their vinegar shall first consume them before it does any hurts to their targets!

GEJ till 2019!

Thanks, OP! The corrupt human nature hardly utilises any invention to the benefit of the general public; it's more inclined to deploy it as a tool for deceit and lies.

Martins301:
Since this is the only means Nigerians have to fight against an oppressive and iresponsible regime, why can't they just bear it?

Bro, the media shouldn't be deployed to deceive, misinform, misrepresent, armtwist and hoodwink the masses. That in itself is a from of corruption. Our consciences must be nurtured with truth and honesty.

It's even more appalling when such lies are targeted at the Military! It's not patriotism!

400billionman:
Kaduna Abuja highway is the smoothest long distance highway in Nigeria running 165km.. Well maintained. The commonest means of commercial commuting is by VW Passat and Sharan because they are speed vehicles and carry reasonable number of passengers. Most sharan on that road do over 150km per hour.

Get your facts right.

Thanks for enlightening him. I had to quit after a few comments couldn't persuade him to see beyond his hate for GEJ.

I believe over speeding is the LEADING cause of road crashes in Nigeria!

OpraMenu:
ONE THING PEOPLE FORGET IS THAT HAVING A STRONG OPPOSITION LIKE APC HAS AWAKENED THE GOVERNMENT TO ITS RESPONSIBILITIES. What The Government Had food so far Is As A Result Of The pressures from the opposition. Did You Think What The Government Has Done So Far was in their manifest ? think again. But The Only Thing Is That The Government Under Estimated the opposition. And That Has Become Their own doing. So Let's Be At Least Happy That We Now Have an opposition that has awakened the government to its responsibilities.

That one cannot be denied.

ellechrystal:
Till then ooo..

Nothing do you. We are sure of delivering PH to the noble cause. Forget those Amaechi rants on media.

ellechrystal:
I tell u

So how are we gonna celebrate the triumph?

nicklaus40:
Yes Femi, he has given u food and u are singing for him. CHANGE is coming

So who gave Tinubu and El-rufai food? Wake up, this is politics.

ellechrystal:
Lmao...
Politricks sweet o. Especially for naija because the thing is more than funny.

Yes. It's one interesting game. Especially when it's not mixed with bitterness and strife.

ellechrystal:
Barcanista, d turn in their flesh.. hahaha, my dear friend Barcanista, please where r u?
Please come n tear these guys for me ooo

That my brother knows best how to cure their brooms induced madness! It appears his researching another article or those APC modes don ban am again! They just want to strangle the brilliant chap.

ellechrystal:
Loool. Abi o..
Yes o, that day some pple will run mad n curse on nairaland...lol

Hahahhahaha. It will be a great day; a day when the broom wavers will eventually agree online fame doesn't win elections on the field.

It will so brutal some people will collapse into an e-coma. And their curses shall not have any effect.

aguiyi:
It's hard to believe that this guy is not related to Barcanista

Another torn in you guys flesh, abi?

ellechrystal:
Kayode ~ Clearly the APC has an obsession with me and my words (past, present or future) and let me assure them that I shall continue to focus my guns on them over the next two weeks regardless of their paid television and newspaper adverts about me.“I shall continue to expose them for the violent men, heartless cultists and dirty ritualists that they are to the Nigerian people.
This really cracked me

Baby, the dude surely have words up there. He knows how to fire the burner at the APC hypocrites. He's very brutal with words.

By the way, how are you doing? Can't wait to celebrate GEJ'S victory with you!

The hypocrisy of the APC and it's supporters deeply depresses me. To them, it's patriotism when, FFK just said, the likes of El-rufai and Tinubu now dance around a GMB they both sometime in the past described as old and unelectable, but it's betrayal when FFK and others now support GEJ! !!!

APC are even in a more dire need of change!

AYunusa:
pdp is dead nd it remain to be buried

And then a far worse party is grown in its place!

What a change!

Mtcheeeewwww!

I personally know both of them...very close family friends, more like brothers to me n my family. The younger one (Salman Aliyu) just got married last year. They were supposed to return to kano by air but couldn't get a desired flight hence the road option. Salman was with GTB n just got a better offer n was returning from medicals in abuja. Their death is so so sad and deeply felt. May their souls rest in perfect peace. Amin

Wow!! I can only imagine the pains and gloom you're feeling. It's such a sad news! Please, take heart! May their souls rest in peace!

psalmsjob:
Ok I get you now. What you're saying is that the road should continue to be bad because the bad conditions of the road has nothing to do with road accident.

Surely Cluelessness is contagious! Mo sori fun gbogbo yin!

#LetsVoteForChange so that our youths can regain their common sense!

aburo, my position doesn't in any way justify the deplorable state of most of our roads, but simply called for the FRSC to do more, since over speeding remains a chief cause of road crashes.

It seems most of you guys just come online to disrespect and insult people.

Pls Google accident triangle later!

,

I know many Nigerians are poor in Maths.

A country that depends 70% on oil revenue. A country with over 70% of budget as recurrent expenditure has little left for capital ones, even if corruption wasn't endemic, we still won't be a developed country in the next 20 years.

Good that you acknowledge our huge population. A nation of over 170 million with less than 5 trillion Naira budget is not a lot.
Huge population means a huge burden on infrastructure in every sector.

While you're romancing with utopia that is unachievable given our expensive bicameral parliament and executive, I'm talking reality having listened to politicians promising heaven & earth since 1979 campaign. And witnessed rigging then too. And all delivered way below GEJ has done.
Mind you, I like others, was dancing when Buhari took over. I met Buhari briefly as HoS in a university campus visit and I liked everything he said. But later his actions were different to what he had said earlier.

We need to restructure the polity, devolve more power to states and push capital expenditure up to at least have of budget.

Until then those promising N5,000 to 25 million Nigerians (equal to Edo State budget) and all kind of fantasy stuff only want power, they can't do nothing as oil prices will remain low for a long time.

Thank you! What we really need is a change of the system, not just the occupant of the office in the system. The current system isn't sustainable; it's a breeding ground for laziness, waste and poverty.

GEJ 2019

Are you Ok? There's a limit to politics. Don't ever lose your humanity!

psalmsjob:
When the roads are bad there is no amount of "sensitization" that will prevent road accidents. Potholes on Federal High as if its a rural link road.

#LetsVoteForChange

Bro, I don't drag politics into everything issue. More than 90% of accidents, according to accident theory and investigations, are due to human errors, not poor work( road) conditions.

I pray that none of us or other loved ones will be given any burial; we shall fulfill our days. May our feet not take us where we shall meet with calamity of this sort!

We shall successfully arrive at our destinations whenever we embark of any journey, whether by air, road, marine and otherwise!

May the souls of the departed RIP!

What a loss! We are losing too many souls to road crashes. The FRSC needs to do more sensitization programmes.

May their souls rest in peace!
