Where would saraki win

I don't give a damn!

SolutionMee:
Reasonable points up there

Most civil servants in Nigeria are too dependent on either their state/federal government

Work ethics shouldn't be like that

People should be exposed that they have to make alternative income

Which in the long run will prevent them from being too dependent on their salary

They can venture into farming, snail breeding, cattle rearing, food hawking and so on

Laziness is when you depend on a single source of income

Laziness is when you depend on your salary alone

The real definition of laziness is when Governors depend only on handouts from the Federal Government.
The same logic that applies to the workers also applies to the Governors.
They need to sit up and make money for their states. They're not there for their stomachs.

power of imcubency played out

No, Jonathan actually won in 2011. Buhari got almost all of his votes from the core north. Dude didn't even bother to campaign much down South, thinking Northern votes alone can win him the election.
He has Tinubu and co to thank for his victory in 2015

Kemisolabadmus:
You are just a fool of the 21st century, attention seeker, foul mouthed and unapologetically idiot, I don't have your time so just pass

If you're not a 21st century fool, you'd not have suggested anyone let a certificate forger be.
You're clearly the idiot here, if you don't know.
People like you belong to the dirty lawless past and we will not rest until we send you and others like yourself to oblivion in this country

I don't think Saraki can unseat Buhari.
I can't vote for him either.
I hoped Buhari would destroy Saraki politically, but he failed. Both of them will be destroyed by next year, God willing.

Kemisolabadmus:
Maybe you are right, you are the only one that is sensible out of all the gullible idiots quoting me

Check the meaning of "gullible" and "idiot", read your first comment on this thread over again and convince everyone here that that adjective, "gullible idiot" doesn't describe you.

We call Kaltungo snake island back then. Many cases of snake bites every now and then. Nice Town though. I like the view of Kilang.

mustafa006:
seriously if u listen to this man talks you will realize he is far intelligent and sensitive than our present day politicians, he also believes in total restructuring of this country

If I'm ever going to vote for a retired Soldier, that would be MI Tsiga (if he ever contest for any elective position).
Mustafa is far more intelligent than Buhari, but he's nothing out of the ordinary.

There was a country!
Mustapha of all people!!
Mustapha the 2nd in command to the Devil himself!
(The younger generations can Google him up to know the kind of person trying to rule them.)
Nigeria our country.
Jesus wept!

The 2iC to the devil that is a saint to your god, Buhari?
Keep disgracing yourself up and down.

My brother I own a farm and that amount is even too much for those starting off. You are talking about 5 hectares of land as if everyone must begin with 5 hectares.

I know people who began with as little as 3 acres (18 plots) and grew from there.

Is 3 acres also meant for subsistence farming?

I knew a family in Kaltungo that owned a corn farm as big as 3 acres. They barely sell the produce.
I'm not downplaying government efforts on this. Heck, giving as little as 50k will make a big difference for many. I believe it should be a matter of policy for BOA to give collateral free loans and for interested farmers to bank with them to avoid abuse.
I'm not into food crops, so it's a different ball game.
I'll be interested when the ceiling is raised to at least, 1M

Butterflyle0:
Really?



So to you 300k is for subsistence farming right?

If 300k is for subsistence farming and you had 300k would you put it into farming just so you can fend for yourself alone?

How much do you think it's enough to prepare say 5 hectares of virgin land for planting?
The idea was to attract young people into agric. That amount is not going to cut it for those starting off.

Butterflyle0:
And somehow you knew this did not go through verification and not through a cooperative?

Obviously the cooperative you belong to is lazy if you Have not heard of Farmers Moni or the BOA collateral free farmers loans which happens to be NATIONWIDE

Bank of Agriculture has been giving collateral free loans for long. It didn't start with Buhari.
Farmers Moni or Market Moni (whatever it's called) isn't going through the right channel and the amount involved is for subsistent farmers and petty traders respectively.

Butterflyle0:
You are a joke.

Are you a psychic that gave you insight to the kind of farming the recipient wants to.embark on?

Besides you can clearly see FIRST TRANCH written there and that disbursement is being done simultaneously to over 400 other farmers.

If the government is just disbursing loans to people without verifying if they're truly farmers or not, it's a waste of time. Elsewhere, government give agric loans to farmers through cooperative groups.
I'm a member of several farmers cooperative societies and I'm not aware of this, except of course, this is meant for core north as usual.

I'm not in support of dishing out money to party members in the name of loans.
Let the loans go to farmers that are members of Farmers cooperative soceities. That way, we can be sure it will go to the right people.
And besides, that amount I'm seeing will merely take you beyond subsistent level of farming.

abescom:
The main reason APC will find it difficult to oust Saraki is because they talk toooooooooooooooooooo much. Talk less and act more.

And if you ask me, I will say APC should just focus on ensuring Saraki does not return to that house rather than wasting time on trying to impeach him. Sensitize Kwarans and present a very credible candidate and he will lose in Kwara. Most Kwara indigenes are already fed up with the Saraki family and APC can and should take advantage of this if they are wise.

It would be hard to unseat Saraki if he contests again next year. The Emir of Ilorin and the people of Kwara Central that he represents in the senate still like him.

I don't see how opposition politicians arming local militias necessitate the call for cattle colony for fulani herdsmen.
Buhari/have to make up their mind now

osasuwa011:
I do have the temporary voter's card. I registered in 2011, and did not go to collect the Permanent Voter Card. I just checked INEC site now and found out that my details are still there on their website. Pls house is it possible for me to still get the PVC, and if yes how do I go about it. I have only change my local government area where I did it within Lagos. Thanks in anticipation of your responds.

Print the details and visit the INEC office in your current local government. They'll port you to the nearest polling unit in your neighborhood.

dkronicle:
Thanks alot. I will do just that. But one more question. I did my tvc in lagos and i am in ogun state now. Can it be corrected here?

Yes, anywhere you chose.

dkronicle:
Can something be done about my own name. I have my temporary vc but i noticed a switch btw my middle and last name. Can something still be done about it? Or should i just get a new one?

It's good you still have your TVC. Use the details to do what I mentioned earlier and go to any INEC office. They'll make necessary corrections. The only thing that can't be changed in this regard is your photo.

stubbornman:
I've done mine before ...around 2011 in port harcourt, but misplaced it , can i still do again now that i'm based in lagos permanently

answers please!!

You don't need to do a fresh registration. Visit INEC webpage, go to voters verification, enter your VIN and if you don't have it again, use the full name and date of birth on the lost PVC. It will display your details. Print it and take it to the nearest INEC registration centre. You'll be ported to you new location. If you do it now, they'll tell you to come for your new PVC by december or january.

Buhari/APC obviously don't know the meaning of failure. This regime has failed Nigerians in every way you can think of...just mention it.
They should rather apologize for their failures and promise "not to fail again" if given another chance.
The way I see it, Buhari/APC deserve no second change and I doubt well meaning Nigerians will reward their failure with another term.

Mosesm:
Out of retirement? Are you that ignorant and being mischievous? GEJ PDP appointed him into the deputy of DSS

Stop disgracing yourself. The man retired in 2013.

senatordave1:
Use this simple logic.apc won south west without federal might and with four governors.they now have 6 governors and federal might.i know apc is disliked there but they will prefer apc to pdp.where are the structures in which pdp will win the west?
Buhari always wins niger by a large margin and will continue doing so.he always loses fct and nasarawa by slim margins to incumbent presidents.so since hes now an incumbent,he should win there.kogi will alsl win.whoever win or lose the north central will do so by slim margins

The south west knows how to draw the line between presidential and guber elections. Take a look at the vote pattern there in 2011.
They know how to vote for individuals and not parties.
It's too early to write PDP off in the south west. Buhari performance is very poor and it will surely reflect in their vote pattern next year.

This is public knowledge for those who knows Buhari. He would never sack Daura because of anything. He didn't bring him out of retirement for nothing.

senatordave1:
Same for pdp.the decider will be the north central and south west where buhari has slight edge

The only place where Buhari may have an edge in the north central is Niger state. He will lose FCT. He doesn't have any leverage in the south west. I can't believe anyone follows Nigerian would honestly think the Yorubas will reward a poor regime with another term (corruption fighting and integrity is not gonna cut it this time).
I'm not saying Buhari will lose the election. He may get the required 25% in the south west, but I'm not seeing him winning any state there free and fair.

senatordave1:
But you guys translated votes in katsina and bauchi reruns for pdp as a vote against bubu?

Where is the evidence that I ever comment as such?
He'll most certainly win in the core north.
I've been monitoring elections since 2010 and I can tell you that while an APC guber candidate may win a polling unit in the south, the president may lose. Same thing can not be said of the north where most voters can not differentiate between presidential ballot and that of the national assembly. That just look out for the party logo.
Buhari won't get many votes in the south.

senatordave1:
But you guys translated votes in katsina and bauchi reruns for pdp as a vote against bubu?

I'm not one of them. I'm aware Buhari commands followership in most parts of the North, but thinking he'll do better next year than he did in 2015 in Ekiti (for example) just because Fayemi won the last guber election is delusional.
A bitter lesson await anyone who expects anything different.

donphilopus:
Liar. PDP was able to garner only 21% of the votes not 25%. Expect that to reduce to about 8% when it would be Buhari against an outsider.

As for that of Cross River, APC was able to secure 25.1% of the total valid votes. Expect it to remain so or even increase during the Presidential polls which would be between two Northerners.

You should be worried that Buhari who wasn't able to secure 7% of the votes in this area in 2015 can now boast of 25.1% of votes for his party there in 2018.

With this result, it's safe to say Buhari would have the required 25% in all the South South and Southeastern States.

How does a vote for an APC candidate from Cross River, contesting an election into the state legislature now translate to a vote for Buhari?
Prove it that those who voted for APC in the election did so because of their love for Buhari?
You guys will be disappointed next year, especially with southern votes.

bakila:
So only those who are against Buhari go out to receive their PVC?

I used the word 'majority', not 'only'

tuniski:
Only children will be analyzing next year's election as if buhari is still the challenger not disastrous incumbent, using a clearly declining fortune even in his backyard as a pointer to him winning next year.

Buhari will be defeated next year. 2.5m margin of victory has been wiped out since. The pdp is just watching them with many steps ahead.

Majority of those going for voters registration are not doing so to have means of identification of return this government, they are doing it to vote against Buhari.
But BMC would have us believe a vote for Akeredolu of Ondo and Fayemi of Ekiti is a pointer to the fact that those in the state will definitely vote for Buhari next year. That's delusion.

OneSentence:
that a person is still moved by articulate words still baffles me. pdp came and spoke well where are we today? apc came and shouted change. where has that taken us? you'd better wisen up my guy. forget about whether they are rich or have done one small thing or the other in the past. these politicians are all thieves.

The man is intellectually sound. Add that to a little dose of good intention. That's all we need for progress for now.
I once said it here that poor education or lack of it is the major cause of insecurity and that governments spend on education not only because they want you to do well in life and contribute to the economy, but also as security a measure.
That's actually an economic theory that has proven to be true (economics students that studied public policies can relate) and I'm happy a presidential aspirant is echoing the same thing.
The man is miles ahead than Buhari in intelligence and knowledge of how things are run.

MrJanuzaj:
Then you are getting the wrong public opinion. The problem i have with PdP apologists is because you guys dont tell yourself the truth. Buhari will score up to 40% in Anambra and narrowly win imo.

Good luck on that then
