Acidosis:
Those mentioning Fayose are obviously of the APC. These people refuse to think for a second. Is it not shameful that inspite the large sums from Oyo state, Osun state, we barely hear any positive things from these states?

I'm very sure 90% of posters here do not even know the name of Oyo state Governor. Aside his sexy daughters abroad who gives him fair recognition, many do not know he exists, yet he receives one of the largest IGRs in the South West.

Funny thing is, the same Ajimobi or whatever he calls himself is one of those Governors demanding for Trillions from MTN. What has he, or what is he doing with the monies he gets in form of IGR and allocation?

Aside Ibadan, do we really know any other town in Oyo state? Has Ibadan recorded any transformation since the past 5 years?

Why is it that some South Westerners hate Fayose? Must everyone be on the side of Tinubu, a renowned criminal?

asorocker:
if you remove all lagos components , for instance the revenue going to ogun because of its proximity to Lagosor better still compare 4 south west states to 4 south east states and the result will be clearer.

Ogun state is growing as a result of the proximity to lagos and not because of any fantastic governor or entrepreneurial spirit or any natural or people resource

Bruteforce101:
News coming from VANGUARD is now false but will be true if its about Buhari. Hypocrisy is not good for your health.

chukwudi44:
when we get there we will find out.Just sit and watch as the next bill would be too confer immunity on the SP and the speaker

Oxenomy:
All this Yorubas forming saints here attacking Chukwudi44 left & right are the same shameless hypocrites that are always ready to defend Tinubu whenever his issue comes up. Saraki is saint until he becomes senate president.. Bunch of hypocrites..

I don't give a flying fvck about Saraki anyway!
I laugh when they call Chukwudi44 Pa A young intelligent guy enjoying his life.. You guys should keep fooling around.

anonimi:
Would you also call this man a criminal of treason- having committed the same offence as the one for which Saraki is before the CCT

cktheluckyman:
If you are not complaining about Buhari's forgery of WAEC certificate then you should have no moral right to complain about Saraki's alleged false assets declaration which is is even a far lesser crime than what Buhari did.You Yorubas are simply pissed about the way he disgraced your local champion last June.It is going to take more than premium times and sahara reporters propaganda to remove him.As long as the majority of the senators are still with saraki he will remain the senate president and there is nothing you can do about it.

EasternActivist:
100 years

His even older than the oba lil Wayne in lagos...

No wonder the Hausa/Fulani they gave them a hot chase to Abeokuta because indirectly they are part and parcel of Lagos...

Lagos is really a no man's land.
Buhari crown the seriki of Fulani in Lagos the oba of Lagos Fulani.

Ooni:
this is why they call us fools and cowards

we have been nice hosts but instead they killed our people burnt our houses and raped our people in broad day light.
the seriki (or whatever) had the gots to apologise.

apologise for killing we their hosts?

apologise for rendering us homeless?

apologise for raping our women?

that is why i like ibos, by now all northerners would have left if it were in the east.

but my people will rejoice when they apologise as if they are our gods and we are their slaves

shame to us oodua

SouthernBreeze:
It's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. Buhari's cluelessness proves that also. He'll face a massive defeat if he dare contest in 2019

betterABIAstate:
Some set of people are so coward?

It reminds me of when I usually lose fights to my pears then and I will be like, he has apologized just because I can't beat him.

Stop looking for any justification for your cowardice

amtaken:
So Buhari wants to amend the Constitution to suit his doctoral style of leadership?

Thank you National Assembly for saying no.

TippyTop:
Illiterate Buhari would sign anything in front of him.

kettykin:
I am so sorry for the damages this has caused my mother and I am ready to pay for the damages

kettykin:
Please you can leave the thread and post elsewhere, I don't really see why you have lost your peace, composure and mind over a thread that has nothing to do with your tribe.

I still cannot understand how a war simulation between the SE & NW is causing someone from another zone to go into an epileptic convulsion. This defies logic.

kettykin:
This is the interesting thing about your people, I only asked for people's opinion about a war between 2 different groups, you that has nothing to do with the 2 groups have now lost your sleep and peace.

If I may ask what has the war simulation between the SE & NW got to do with you, why are you crying over another person's headache when you have your malaria untreated.

kettykin:
It is you that is living in a dumb hypocritical world where innocent unarmed protesters are killed by trigger happy military and police and no one complains, shameless hypocrits, who shed crocodiles tears over oil subsidy but keep mute over destruction of livelihood and lives.

kettykin:
It is the op that is a kid, what of buhari that would suggest and support the independence of Palestine and western Sahara but threaten and shoot unarmed protesters, what would you call him

temitemi1:
Nigerians Should start casting their stones @ these agent of "change"

TonyeBarcanista:
Nigeria is facing her greatest challenge since her 55th history as an independent State. In fact, it has come to a point where corruption is being elevated to the zenith while anti-corruption crusaders are victimised. We are at a point where the alleged crime of once-upon-a-time powerful big man is immaterial but what is material is whether or not the "oga" is put on cuffs. It no longer matters who perpetuate fraud, neither does it matter the level of fraud perpetuated by people in positions of trust, what now matters is that those within our political comradeship are not "touched" ie leave our man for us. It no longer matters whether or not the government in power performs, what now matters for some people is to see the government to fail simply because it wasn't their choice at the poll. This period is the lowest of low for Nigeria.

The Wickedness of Political Leaders Since 1999
Are Nigerians aware that the level of mismanagement and corruption in our democratic era since 1999 eclipse the combined military and civilian administrations since 1960? Are Nigerians aware that Nigeria has made NO significant gain since 1999 when compared to what we had before 1999? Are Nigerians aware that the late dictator Sani Abacha that we love use as point of reference when talking about corruption is a fine gentleman when compared to Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan's administration? Are Nigerians concerned that while Generals Sani Abacha and Ibrahim Babangida were accused of looting $5billion and $12billion respectively, Obasanjo administration couldn't account for $16billion spent on power, while Jonathan's administration spent a whopping $6billion(N2trn) for fuel subsidy in 2011 alone with nothing to show for it(but blaming some fictitious cabal)? The over $2billion Abacha loot that has been repatriated so far cannot be accounted for by Obasanjo and Jonathan's administrations. In fact, we are told that part of Abacha loot was relooted in the $2.2billion arms fraud.

Are Nigerians not concerned that during Abacha's era with fuel price averaged at $15 per barrel, Abacha reduced Nigeria's debt from $36billon(1993) to $27billion(30% reduction), $494million to $9.6billion(1800%), reduced inflation from 54% to 8.5% and implemented projects through PTF. However, during Jonathan's era, oil price was average $100 per barrel but our external debt still rose from $3.94 billion to $9.4 billion as at Dec 2014($6.1 b is FG external debt), Foreign reserve went from $47.7billion to $32billion, and Excess crude account went from $6.5billion to $460million in 2010(GEJ got $3.36 billion/56%), it rose to $9billion in 2012 and was again depleted to $2.2billion when he left office(GEJ got $6billion) with nothing on ground to show for it?.

Are we not concerned that when the at $30per barrel oil price, Nigeria is crying for money whereas President Olusegun Obasanjo on assumption of office ensured that he saved for the future by created an Excess crude Account from zero kobo in 1999 to $20billion in 2007 to take care of moment like this which was depleted to meagre $2.2billion even when oil price was averaged $100 per barrel between 2007 and 2015?

Nigeria is Behind Her Peers
Are we not concerned that while war-torn country like Libya still manage to maintain $66billion in their Sovereign Wealth Fund(SWF), Iran $62billion, and Algeria $50billion, Nigeria could only manage to save $3billion(ie $1billion SWF + $2billion ECA)? Are we not concerned that even Angola with lesser oil income has over $5billion in their SWF? Are we not concerned that Angola that fought civil war 28years ago, whose poverty rate as at 2010 was 68% now has about 40% poverty rate(CIA Fact book) with massive infrastructures in the country, while Nigeria that fought civil war about 50years ago and with access to more funds still has poverty rate of 70%(official figure) with no single infrastructure to boast of?

Our Attitude As Responsible Citizens
If we are responsible citizens of this country, we'll be very much concerned about state of affairs rather than imprison ourselves in irresponsible and unpatriotic positions by telling authorities to let go of corruption suspects when he/she/they has/have the privilege of legal process. It is irresponsible and unpatriotic for any person/party or group to be more concerned about someone in handcuff rather than the alleged crime the person is facing in court. In case people don't know, Illinois Gov Rod Blagojevich was arrested and put on handcuff in December 2008 as an incumbent governor even before his impeachment/conviction. It is a fact that the convicted soldiers were tried on handcuff, late Audu Abubakar was also brought to court on handcuff during Yar'adua era. When did handcuffing a suspect become an issue in Nigeria? While it is our civic responsibility and right to vote for candidate/party of choice at the poll, it is irresponsible to elevate the interest of any single person or party above national interest.


It is a truism that Nigeria is in her trying state. We have been ripped and raped by insatiable gluttons that are privileged to be on fat salaries and allowances, and life pensions, yet very irresponsible to corner the little left for the masses. Bringing these people to justice irrespective of how highly placed they are or their political/tribal affiliation will not only serve justice but will also send message to those in positions of authority and those prospecting to hold positions of trust in the future. If we don't fight corruption we may wake up one day to hear that one President has changed the title of the Federation Account to his own name.
