No single statesman behind Pandora politicianstuary He is just a deflector forpoliticians

You guys ain’t ready.

Those men that put us in this mess that we call a country. Instead we should all organise ourselves and stone our oppressors but people prefer hailing them.
Now two prominent oppressors are contesting for president, but I am surprised at the number of people supporting them. As at yesterday someone told me that a 3kg cylinder now cost 6k without corresponding increase in salary to offset the inflation threatening the little funds in our pocket.

Ok let protest with our PVC , No!
Suffer no dey tire Nigerians Aswer.

lurvy:

Wonderment.. The more you look.. The less you see..
May Nigerians not be scammed again and again..
The unending destruction of lives and properties must not be allowed any further...
Let's use our PVCs to vote wisely to help give some hope to the generations yet unborn ..

Nigerians are the most gullible people on earth . I want them to prove me wrong.

With the way we keep cheering this criminals up is never a surprise.

A calculation was made how much a president will earn legitimately around 54million Naira for four years and APC sold her form for 100m.

Now, no one knows how much the eventual winner of the APC primary election would have spent in buying the delegates.

Tell me if the winner God forbid becomes the president, do you think he is going there not to recoup his investment?

Same goes to Atiku.

People should rise up and shock this guys

Speak to the people directly using trump method. Highlights the issues in the north and practical way you hope to help them solve it using Hausa language.

Economy
Health etc.

Constantly engage them the youth leaders in discussions on importance of choosing right and consequences of doing otherwise which they are currently suffering from.

Make videos to explain your points and share it through WhatsApp platforms to capture those in the city centre and use radio to transmit other parts where WhatsApp isn’t used

Gamesmart:
The criminal that was looting Nigeria and hiding Senate budget of sharing billions to Senators, all of a sudden, wants to tell us he "was acting in national interest".

Saraki, e no go better for you, your father and your entire lineage!

Some of you will abuse one politician and applaud the other because of your personal preference, no be juju be that.

How supposedly youth of today support a tinubu with questionable wealth still surprises me.
Today's youth are the enablers of this old man stealing for their lineage without a single benefit to you and me.

babyfaceafrica:
Nigeria has always been like that, you are the one that don't notice.


Obj became president because they wanted to appeace the yoruba because of the MKO death and June 12 issues. Yaradua became president because Obj closeness to the elder brother and he wanted to pay back. Gej was imposed on us by Obj.

There has always been sentiments in politics!

Since the power that be has been trading the country as a commodity and our lives never got better , is it not wise for us to take our destiny in our own hand

matex97:
There has never been microzoning in Nigerian national election before. However, if the southeast wanted it microzoned to them, they should have reach out to the Southsouth and Southwest zones and lobby for it. They were only releasing press statements regarding it.

Really?

Sheuns:
It pains me so much that our so called elders keep making the same mistakes. I honestly want to see a United south. I have several Igbo friends and business partners, a friend of mine who is Yoruba is getting married to an Igbo lady. We share so much similarities but we still choose to follow the Hausas on political matters, still they use and dump our so called political gladiators. It’s really sad.

I was born and bred in Lagos .
I am in obodo oyibo today because of my yoruba friend.
I am married to a yoruba
Igbos and yoruba live side by side.

Igbos and yoruba marry one another.

I see no reason why we can’t support ourselves.

Philipponzaghi:
No shock anywhere.

What we want is a fair primaries, if they win us, we will go back home to Lagos.

—When Buhari lost multiple times and failed, who did he look up to for help? Jagaban

Jagaban need him to reciprocate the effort now, we are not saying Buhari must support Jagaban but at least allow fair primaries and let the party delegates decide their man.

If Buhari cannot do that simple thing, then he is a big BETRAYER!

Asiwaju should rise up, he is a lion, he is Jagaban and a fighter, he fought OBJ and won, he fought the machinery of the PDP through the court and election ground; He should rise up and live up to the hype; We need his leadership and we need him to roar like the LION OF BOURDILLON!

Buhari did not betray anyone . He has compensated Yorubas efforts by making one of their son Vice President. What else do you want?

The betrayal is the coalition of other components of the south who igbos have supported with votes not social media but can throw in the support now.

Mind you, no entity in the south can confront the north without zoning arrangements. We are simply asking what every other past president from the south benefitted too.

Sheuns:
Some people made it possible for you to be governor in 1999 too. You didn’t do it alone. Baba leave story.

You played a role no doubt but do not take credits of members of the nPDP that collapsed PDP structure then. The total votes from the south west for APC was less than 2.7M, Kaduna and Kano had more than the entire votes of the South west for the APC.

I just hope we the younger generations are learning from our elders mistakes. The closest neighbors to Yorubas are the Igbos, most of us born here have known Igbos all our lives because we’ve lived in harmony, but when it comes to political alignments Yorubas and Igbos suddenly hate each other. Our elders planted these seeds of enmity in us for I don’t know why. If you ask them, they’ll say “Igbo o da” without giving any concrete reason why they said so. The same thing goes to Igbos they don’t like Yorubas for reasons I still do not understand.

The Hausa/Fulani that we keep aligning with keep playing us and we still continue running back to them. A United South will send shivers down the spines of the entire North; they know that and pray it never happens. I just hope the new generations abolish all these bullshit hate and come together as one. Maybe we should be called Yoruba/Igbo

It is the spirit that reveals this to you not a man.

You have spoken well.
if everyone in the south had cued at the back of Igbos in the name of southern unity that we would not be getting the president .After-all the other components that made up the south were supported with votes to make them president.

My Yoruba brother support igbo presidency we Live together in the south we are not going anywhere.

Mr Useni was a Lieutenant General in the Army and close ally of Sani Abacha under whom he served as minister.



https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/531440-two-million-pounds-stolen-by-ex-minister-jeremiah-useni-seized-in-jersey.html

The way northerners stole from this country, by now we should all have declared them not fit to hold sensitive post ever in this country. From military procurement, to ministries under their watch .etc

Amerengues2:
To start with, I am wondering why politicians deploy the tactics of a coach sometimes where you will wait on the opponent's coach to make a substitution before making yours just to know what next to do.

However, I am hopeful that Osinbajo is taking his time to make the correct decision. It appears he doesn't want to be left in the mix.

Perhaps, the rumour between Osinbajo and Amaechi might be real- finding each other a threatening opponents considering they are both close to Buhari.

Also, in saner climes, if you have spent 7 years as a VP in a failed administration, you might just be booed of you want to contest as the president. However, it's different here!

It appears Osinbajo' fan base keeps increasing and this might lend credence to the fact that he is indeed a good and perspicacious leader we need.

Then I ask the question, which is the problem of this country, the POSITION or INDIVIDUAL?

The situation in Nigeria defies sound reasoning.

For me , it translates into how we make choices.

Could it be we are special breed of humans?

Because if we think differently from other people around the world and that translates in producing things that works ,I am sure people will marvel at level of creativity and will be keen to learn from us.

Or
Maybe we have highest concentration of people with the lowest IQ.Though some research points to the fact that Blacks have the lowest IQ and Nigeria being the largest population of blacks means we have a problem.

COMPAQ:
In London you don't e en need a car. Those who pay charges in central London are all the big boy bankers and executives of top companies.

Thanks jare .

Don’t mind those people coming to nairaland to mislead the public.
What we have in lekki is totally unjustified.

pappilo:
Ignorance. Central London is tolled. £15 per day.

That is for congestion when travelling through central London after 6am!

It is mechanism to reduce traffic congestion so that car owners can use tfl services.

In Lagos, is it the same?

IPIGSRDOTARDS:
What has roundabouts and traffic lights got to do with toll or no toll?
Are you sure you've ever been to NJ or NY before?
Do you know that just to drive to London westend, you have to pay?
There are tolls in many many metropolise around the world.

Stop misleading the public Oga! London u are citing as example introduced charges when driving through central London at particular time of the day to reduce congestion.

But our own case is different. You asking an area that generate highest income for the state to still pay compulsory toll when leaving their homes

englishmart:
You see why power belongs to the north? They never see anything wrong provided it's performed by their brother.
Little wonder why whoever criticizes Buhari's glaring incompetence is met with grievous sanctions, especially the northerners. The earlier the south and other regions realized that the north are determined to remain in power to milk this country dry, the better for the rest of us. We need to renegotiate our coexistence. We can't continue like this.

Who will lead the charge on the renegotiation?

Is it those clowns that currently represent us?

Or

Is it the docile youth?

I am confused on where we are going to get the messiah from.

I wish I can get just a little info about this guy in the UK , I will personally go and report to the employer.

Who can divulge his info abeg?

SarkinYarki:
This is one of the despicable animals

Now that she is dead hope he is happy now!

Death will reach everybody so he should stop rejoicing.

We still dey owe china ooooo.


Hmmmmmmm

Poor Nigerians are the direct sufferers from misrule
We are in this mess because of those who promote ethnic presidents. Those people have very low thinking faculty that is why they brought in Buhari to be the president in the 21st century, what an error.

To solve oil theft return pipeline surveillance should be returned to tompolo and others .

Another election is coming and some of them are promoting the same people who brought us here.

Enough said!

Halifaxguy:
Nigeria is finished. Thank God I don collect my Canadian citizenship. How can a country that claims to have educated people be rooting for this old thief to become the president of a country like Nigeria? Suffer no dey tire una after what bubu has done to the economy of this country �

If someone who didn’t go to school became the president through the support of supposedly educated people, abeg that country is capable of many many things

Aufbauh:
You guys are either mischievous or bluntly ignorant.
There are factors or indices you need to consider when tolling a highway, and one of it is traffic.
The denser the vehicular traffic on the road the more the pressure on same road, and the more susceptible it is for maintenance.
Again cost of construction per kilometer and availability of alternative roads.

The second Niger bridge even have an alternative road which is the existing road at the moment. You mustn't pass through the second Niger bridge.

Anyway we can not cure you guys of ceaseless victim mentality and unfounded conspiracy theory, so you are free to conjure any thought.

I knew someone like you will post something like this, after the close from work today hopefully I get enough ginger to reply you.

Some of you think we are Dundee like your fashola who made the proposal.

Well I don’t blame you sha, it because over a long period of time injustice has being enthroned in Nigeria polity.

So it okay to make excuses.

Born2Breed:
You skipped one. You will also pay at Shagamu-Benin. Which totals 4!

Mind you, nothing has been recently done on these roads except the New Onitsha bridge. Compared to the Lagos to Kano road that has gulped billions in last 7years.

When one complains,you see some moronic idiots masturbating with their mouths.

Thank you my brother.

Nigeria matter dey weak me.

Southern Nigeria has been beaten to weakness that anything thrown at them is yes sir.

Funny enough I can bet my balls that it is someone from south who might have drafted the proposal to placate the north.

Perfectbeing:
Your victim mentality is becoming disgusting.. What exactly is wrong with you guys?

It is not my fault if you lack depth.

Sometimes I feel sad that the supposedly north with lesser education can think more critically than the so called southern educated

We have injustice in Nigeria today because we have plenty of your kind.

It is a shame!

Abaman001:
Not true bro... rather you are the one who has chosen not to be open minded in ur analysis, what that actually means is that there will be more hike on the price of goods and services in the southern region than northern region as a result of toll formula that seems to favour the north than S.S and S.E....

Thank you my brother for teaching some of this guys . Some of them don’t have critical mind but just come to argue without sense.

Miracle2022:
so you didn't see illorin- jebba, Kano portiskum, Abuja- akwanga, Kaduna to Kano? Even Abuja -Kaduna road is there.
This issues of ethnicity will surely make you to look stupid.

If

Quitam:
Earlier today, many people were misinformed about the toll plaza currently been constructed in tow with the 2nd Niger Bridge. Toll gates will be constructed across the country. Fashola promised that they'll only toll when the roads are comfortably motorable. So, if you think the 2nd Niger bridge is a vendetta against SEners, which among the roads listed is motorable and yet to be tolled?

According to the report, if I am travelling from Lagos to owerri a distance of 538km , I will pay toll in Benin to asaba, asaba to onitsha via the new constructed bridge and finally pay toll from onitsha to owerri.

But my good friend shehu will leave same Lagos to Kano about 987km but will only pay toll between lokoja to Abuja.

You see why some of us feel Nigeria is full of injustice.

buckeyemedia:
Zombie don’t try & change the narrative, is SUKUK tax payers money? money generated from the toll will pay back the loan, Use your bird change to feed yourself, the Federal Government doesn’t need your grains.

No need to reply you again . It is clear you are pure olodo!

Please ask those around you to teach you how government generate revenue and how it uses it. Thank you

buckeyemedia:
Why are you showing your ignorance, who said they are using tax payers money to build the roads, is SUKUK fund tax payers money?

Are you not the same people that said you don’t need loans from Islamic financial Institutions?

Why are you so ignorant? That is why most you voted for Buhari!

So sukuk money is free Abi?

I can’t believe a supposedly educated person could write this.

Smartini:
Absolutely stupid article. Everything is now about nepotism and tribalism. What if the bridge is tolled? And so what? Tolled roads are easier to maintain, and commuters can easily

Do you even know what the terms and agreement in the construction and maintenance of the bridge is? Do you know if a concession agreement was made with the construction company to toll AND maintain the road for Bleep number of years, after which the maintenance of the road reverts to the FG? How do you know if that was that the FG agreed on since it was private public partnership, and they couldn't afford to fund all 100% of the project?

I hate it when people just write intelligence nonsense without facts. Even as an Igbo person (I'm from Imo State), in my various travels, I've realized that the best highways around the world are roads that are tolled and concessioned to a private company to maintain.

Why are they not concessioning other roads in Nigeria? Why used tax payers money to fund road construction in other regions and come to south east to play this card of concession?

Are you not here when FG release data tha south east is the poorest in southern Nigeria?

Why further put burden on the poorest people?

post=111066487:
Empty brain

Empty head like you don’t know implications of toll on small business who depends people coming from outside the state to make purchases in onitsha.

Why has federal government not put toll in Lagos Ibadan expressway that is going through reconstruction? Where did they get the funds from ?
How about other gigantic projects more costlier than this bridge that government is funding, where did they get the money from?

Is not buhari who went to negotiate the release of abacha loot and declared that the money will be used to fund the bridge.

See have sense and stop being ignorant

Ka

post=111053427:
The project is PPP Julius Berger also funding the construction of the bridge, they will recuperate their money from the tailgate, all Nigerians will pay not just Igbos will use the bridge, this same method was used in construction of Lekki/Ikoyi bridge, same with IJebu ode/Epe high way that was commissioned last month, if its was FG that's funding second Niger bridge it will still be 30% completed.

Just shut up and grow sense!

Every road project done by this administration
no toll gate was mounted anywhere, just few kilometres bridge federal government cannot borrow money to fund.

It is not possible!

Belarus is under sanction and some components used in manufacturing the equipment is sourced from the EU.
