warrior01: Lai Mohammed, if you guys didn't sell then, who did?

HammedSodiqq: Is IMO a paradigm?

In my opinion.

Maybe you don't know that some LG go home with several hundreds of million every month. Go and find out. What is this money meant for, if you cannot gurantee your people the basic needs that will make them enjoy commodious living? LG chairmen are regarded as chief security officers of their various council, while the Govs are regarded as the chief security officer of the state. The chairman being closer to the people connects with them, sometimes through th councillor. If this chain is truly activated and made effective, crime could be easily detected. As a security chief of your immediate environment, you should know what's happening, know the good ones and the bad ones. You should know criminal hideouts, and be able to identify intruders or new faces. Where he fails, should we still celebrate him? Abi make jonathan go dey do village policing?
Truth be told, if these people perform their functions responsibly, the country will notice geometric change.

usmanyaro17: The 1999 constitution speculates how power is shared amongst the three tiers of govt,and Nigeria being a federating state is operating a presidential system which is Not GEJ's fault,the point is that,must FG do everything if I may understand this thread,but because people like you are full of deep hatred for GEJ you are busy bringing emotions into the whole issues,what are the governors doing with the allocation given to them?lets talk abt issues not sentiments.

thelastPope: I know a few Nigerians, who live in Nigeria like you, are bitter. But you are a small minority. Most Nigerians are not happy with the state of affairs but will not ridicule or insult their country.

Small minority u say ok prove it.
My friend, u have no basis.

thelastPope: My friend, read my post again. Even the title is clear enough. I said "why are they so bitter". There is no Nigerian that is satisfied with the happenings in Nigeria. I am not satisfied but I am not bitter either. What we see on NL all the time is bitterness and negativity. Read some of my posts and you will see where I have criticized Nigeria too. But I do not disrespect or ridicule my country. Foreigners read this stuff sometimes and its really sad what they see.

Ok, av also modified my post to suit ur taste why should i care about what foreigners think about me when my own leaders that ought to care dont give a damn.

Demdem: @Op

Me think u are wrong. what gives u the impression that its only "diasporans" that are bitter with the happenings in our country?

HammedSodiqq: I laugh at your flagrant display of ignorance. When Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher said the state is an individual writ large, he was saying that it is from the minute that you can arrive at the whole. For instance, if there is peace in 774 LG Councils in Nigeria, it translate to Nigeria being a peaceful Nation in the world. Consequently, if the local and state Govt judiciously deliver on their mandate, the country would be a better place. The idea of looking up to the FG for everything diminishes that status of other tiers. Or should unitary system be introduced? Use your head

usmanyaro17: I am saying that you are feeding on false information from Sahara reporters abi

Demdem: Which of them is speculation? Are u insinuating that the budgetary allocation for feeding in any of the government house in this country far over weigh that of the presidency? Abegii which state is that? Am interested in such a state.

Look, the governors are simply following the footsteps of the FG. The masses are helpless

Mallamabdul: The truth is that all the 36 state Governors put together has not achieved what GEJ has achieved so far.

Now this is what i will call mere speculations. On what basis? what criteria did u use?


In power sector alone, Jonathan has refurbished 10 power plants. 10 power stations are now working at a time. Which Governor apart from Akpabio has done a single power station since last year.

Thank God u said Refurbished but at what cost? Besides are u aware that by virtue of our present constitution Power is exclusively for FG? Why should states that are given crumbs with limited resources dabble into what isn't primarily their responsibility?

GEJ is handling 11 airport terminals at a time. Look at the railways are now back. Ilorin-Lagos have been revamped. Minna-Kaduna is back. Abuja metropolitan is seriously in progress.

Nobody is saying the Retardeen is idle. The same way all the governors will claim they arent idle but the issue at stake here is at what cost? Besides by virtue of our present resources accruable to this govt i still believe we are being cheated. We arent getting true value for money.


Which Governor has established a single university in His state since last year? GEJ has established 9 new federal universities and mobilised them with 2 billion each. Haba. Make we dey talk true sometiimes.

A state that already has a limited funded university and goes ahead to establish another is a foolish state. Establishment of universities can never be a yardstick to signify progress. How well funded are the existing ones. If the existing ones are no where to be found in world reckoning, why do we think the new ones will? To me, those new schools are a waste of resources. It would have been better channeling those funds to existing ones by increasing their individual capacities.

torkaka: next time before you post an article to support your claim ensure that you have a proper understanding of the issues at hand!
how can state governors and local government chairmen be blamed for the nations poor security when they don't even control an ordinary recruit?

my friend, because an article appears in the papers doesn't mean it is right or correct! haven't you been learning from the lecturer with p.hd in fisheries?

Since it hasnt been disprove yet, its a "NOTORIOUS FACT"

usmanyaro17: These are just mere speculations.....

usmanyaro17: I thought we are talking about performance in all facets?i know you are looking for someone to blame.....but the truth of the matter is that our governors are to be blamed cos they are more closer to the people.

No one is saying that the governors are innocent. I am not saying that. However the governors are basically following the footsteps of the FG. Th biggest fraud in our country today is FG followed by the federating states and it will remain like that until the head is clean.

If my president feeds on 1 Billion naira for each financial year, why should it be wrong if each of the federating governors feeds on 500Million naira yearly

But u show me a governor that will feed on more than 20Million naira in a financial year if my presidents feeds on such amount. Its not possible.
The change we desire will come from the top and until the top realizes that it will start from them, we are just deceiving ourselves.
Most of the governors are frauds and its because the head itself is a fraud and thats why the head cant caution them.

karl max: He demanded for an explanation from the national leadership on why the Party sold out its presidential election to the PDP in the South-West in 2011.

brinell: Oh oh, you're well agitated now right. Laughs. You just can't learn to make civil comments, and just come here on a free post to call other people retardeen, while you are at an even elevated retardeed level. Anyway, the message has gotten to you real good. Go and have a dirty cup of water, it might polish you and bring you up to par

Nwunuken: for the gear,it dont move smoothly into next lever.thanks

brinell: Your comment just shows how Retardeed you are, so self righteous. When did Madam Patience tell you that she went to Germany to rest? She told you that? Yea, professor excellent and righteous judge DemDem (sic) go ahead and be a retardeed nuisance to society.

torhuke: Yet, he wx deputy governor, governor, vice president & now president.. U would wish he wx ur father.. He has a 1st degree, masterz degree & a phd. He has lectured some of yr fatherz mate.. Mumu.. Evry oportunity is an avenue to hurl insults on GEJ.. kip it up, ur insultz will fecth him 2nd term as president.. Watch & see..

Gabbysky: And why would u be expecting an apology from someone u call retardeen if you're not one yourself?

Because the retardeen lied on Live TV. Am not a Retardeen. Only Retardeens will regard evil Boko his brothers and sisters, i dont.

Shame on you for insulting ur president instead of praying for wisdom for him.

The Retardeen of a president insulted me first by telling me on Live TV that he doesnt give a damn. so why shouldnt i insult him back? By the way, am just calling him by his name, its not an insult.
What ffucking wisdom? after surrounding himself with liars, thieves, murderers etc u must be joking

Whether u like it or not, u won't get any apology

Am prepared for that. I did say that earlier. Not surprising, Retardeens dont apologise even when its obvious to all that they have just been deceitful


and be prepared to be govern by the so-called 'retardeen' for the next 7 years.

If that is the wish of the majority, so be it. I dey campe. By the way the Igbos are saying they want to be president also by 2015. I wonder where he will get his 120% voters turn out from

Change your mindset on this retardeen talk, its not swag anymore

Do u think i am here to make ur dumb type happy and excited? If u arent ok with it then go jump into the lagoon. Iidiot.

SOH KAH TOA: since you know he won't why strain your phalanges to type these rubbish.. You are indeed hypocritical
