MIKOLOWISKA:
Then the gruntled elements should learn to manoeuvre around the blocking
Don't be lazy


How is it undemocratic
is it not the judges you put there via governor and president appointment?

what is undemocratic about party form.
You can't raise millions for form how will you raise billions for campaign or you think billboard and advert is Free.?



And your lawyers will be looking at them?



These laws already exist
Just no political will to enforce cos everyone is more interested in loot


Those are the guards you voted for via the bigwigs






a bad work man blames his tools
Party is party
Even one party state there are groups within the party
Hence primaries
Chinese rule through barrel of gun not votes
We already have virtual two party As well as multi party system
What we don't have are focused determined intelligent leaders that want developmen
Every is interested in loot only

let me put it this way. for example I want to become the governor of my state because I feel I can move it forward but there is a problem I do not have 2million to get a form where as our constitution says that I can vote or be voted for . is that not a way of locking large segments of the population away from one half of the democratic process. a party usually gets by from donations of its members and that's why they have an ideology to appeal to prospective members.

also how do I vote for the guards via big wigs?

wow China rules by the barrel of the gun yet its outpacing the bastion of democracy. and to your point about having those system I would say no we do not.

a good workman will be a bad workman if the tools are bad.

what I am saying and will continue to reiterate is that we need to find a system that will work for us.

EternalTruths:
How do you convince them to do away with SS/SE oil & gas without a backlash from their brothers at the National Assembly threatening you with impeachment.

if there is one thing about the north then its there clear hierarchy, terrible for direct rule but great for indirect rule. simply convince their traditional rulers and religious leaders that it would be be better for them to have their own source of income than to be beholden to others for food

Capitalism will reduce population naturally

Indian can hardly manage its population due to its large size, terrain and uneducated rural dwellers who are the large contribution to its pop problem. China needed large pop to replace its loss in ww2 and later it got out of hand now they are managing it as best as possible.

a largely educated population will see the need to resolve disagreements with violence reduced and would also see the birth of innovations and inventions. do you realise that the ethnicity and religious tolerance we see at play can be largely attributed to the lack of education.

also why do you see the need to privatize everything. capitalism is all well and good in certain aspects but in others not so much. Nigeria is not yet advanced for the level of privatisation you are talking about as the institutions to checkmate excesses can easily be subvert . just research on our mining system and deals with Indians and Lebanese and you will realise so, if that is to much work for you look at our power sector. until you realise that privatization/capitalism is the corporation first the population a distant third then you will realise. in fact just look at America's slow transition to corporatocracy and then you will reject such a system anyway I am not advocating for full on government control but its control in some key and vital sectors

also taxation done wrongly can do what you say but if done correctly it can be used as an incentive to increase production.

MIKOLOWISKA:
Nass will never agree


And you think they won't execute you too? Corruption can fight o
And they have $300b to fight with
How much do you have


President can't without legislative support


Which strike has been without purpose. Will you be happy to work for slave wages while some mumus are buying Bugatti


Against constitutional freedom of association


How
only Nass has such power

Why
Socialism does not work

so it can crash again



With which money
Solar Is expensive and doesn't work at night
Hydro is damn slow





Nobody will vote for you if you jail traffic offenders

let me tell you do you really think I would contest or plan to become president and change this country without stacking the deck in my favor. such has been tried in other nations and it ended either in civil war or the death of the leader. I would simply campaign to make sure that at least a third of the legislature are like minded individuals. again the guy u re replying to made a damn good point striking indiscriminately without a purpose. while I was in secondary school some who were 3-4 yrs ahead had gone to the uni, I had graduated and these guys were still in uni(4 yr courses). our education system is still in the doldrums due to this and I can even make a case saying this has also affected our health care. what also gives doctors the right to go on strike(this is an essential service) hundreds if not thousands die anytime this medical personnel go on strike which is a gross violation of their Hippocratic oaths. we should stop the misinterpretation.
under the right circumstances socialism can and will work and even endure for a long time. capitalism is not the be all and end all .

EternalTruths:
If generating tax from the Northern states is so easy, why do you think they depend entirely on SS/SE oil & gas despite being encouraged to do away with oil & gas wealth.

most of their leaders are unimaginative and would rather want a quick and easy source of cash . do you know that the northern states have arable land for cotton and wheat combine this with the population and mineral potential of some states and you could have an economic powerhouse ( that's if the reports are not false). also I never said it was easy. in fact if there is one thing universal is that people would rather not pay tax no matter how little it is. the major problems I believe the north has is lack of education and religious tension/intolerance

wow that's nice but do you think privatisation benefits the common man. a corporation will always first look for profit and if the best way to get profit is at the expense of the common man then so be it. its even worse in Nigeria where it is so easy to subvert the institutions. if you think I'm lying just research why our mining sector is in the doldrums. in the area of education more educated people means an enlightened populace which would mean more people willing to resolve arguments by debates rather than force of arms but more importantly it will encourage innovations

waldigit:
1.I will declare state of emergency in the following key sectors of the economy namely :education, power, agriculture, research and development,transportation and health. This shall imply suspending local contents in management and administration in these key sectors. I will contract international organised sectors as care takers with a contract to create new structure in these areas within two years.
2. I will as a matter of urgency set up a standardized National Identity System Programme capturing identification data based on biometric authentication authentication system that I will in conjunction with best hand in and outside the country design. With this I shall save billions of naira spent on politicized census and elections. Also I intend to technically tackle corruption and crime with this system and created data bank for research planning and development.
3.I will create massive agriculture centres in six geopolitical zones, I which shall comprise two sections namely voluntary and compulsory. I shall partner with Isrealis, CRIN and other local research institutes on ways to engage youth volunteers who want to transform the national economy via enterprenuers joint ventures. The compulsory section shall be for criminals, hudlooms, and others sentenced persons who are not gainfully employed and skilled as at the time of arrest. They will go through a rehabilitation programme via training in agricultural entrepreneurship. With this I intend to reduce unemployment to between 5-10 percent.

4. I will set up commission to empower the citizenry to exercise constitutional obligation of peoples power such power to recall erring senators and representatives. Same goes with power to engage Judicial Commission against erring Judge. And Public Complaint Commission against members of the executive. These process shall be automated to facilitate it's accessibility to all.

really love point 2. one of the major problem in and out of the country is identity. I remember a story of some criminals who were deported and they said they were Nigerians. it was when they came to Nigeria they discovered these guys were Liberians and gambians

divinehand2003:
I like your views. The only problem you might face is with the present 1999 military constitution which has empowered some disgruntled elements to truncate the plans of the president. Why not go for a better constitution instead?

Yes, but those same disgruntled elements would block such a move. look at the way they are gradually locking the common man out of the democracy( eg Dino's recall, saraki's trial, and even sale of parties form) even if the new constitution passes they would manipulate it to the point that it would be worse than the previous one. do you think they would go for a constitution that backs the FIRS to seize any Ill begotten wealth or a law that backs free education or a law that makes it possible for the gov to ask for the source of wealth or a law that allows for the suspension of immunity once misdeeds can be proven. such laws will eliminate the powers of sacred cows. Do you know that only a few of the security agents meant to guard us are in reality guarding us. most of them guard the so called big wigs, their family and worst of all their empty houses. funny thing is if the big wigs/politicians do their job right there really will be no need for their guards.
Truth of the matter is we have to look at a party system that would favor us either the USA virtual two party system with independent candidates or the semi European style of Israel(but with multi party, multi ideological - because a political party is just a big boys club if it has no clear ideological goal) or the Chinese communist system or others to numerous to mention

Where will the money come from to develop Nigeria.?

If it comes from SS/SE oil & gas, how then will you achieve Restructuring/True Federalism which has Resource Control as one if it's pillars.?

This is the dilemma of every leader

1) Decentralize Nigeria and lose the control over SS/SE oil & gas

2) Stick to the Status Quo and Keep Nigeria forever in the state of potentiality until oil & gas loses value and we become like poor Ghana.

that why I said I would encourage a robust tax regime if 1 , if 2 it opens up a broad range of fund esp from some of the northern states and plateau in mining esp iron ore, columbite, some uranium, tungsten e.t.c but this would require a very heavy turn around in our mining sector, that sector is worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually but its left in the hands of very few individuals. if keeping status quo do not forget that gas is there.

but I thought that every state owns the oil well located both inland and within a few feet of land and that's why they can demand royalty from oil coys through the FG. anyway I support restructuring but not in the way everyone is going about it. left to me I would choose UK system of only fg and LGA. I believe the states are the problem in nigeria. those governors are money guzzlers

I would encourage Nigeria nationalism and patriotism.
I would implement a new tax regime which would tax according to your income/wealth.
implement competency test which would do away with lurkers and ensure employment/promotion based on merit.
invest heavily in agriculture in fact I would borrow Saddam or Gaddafi's model of government involvement in agriculture esp for rice and cassava for at least 2 yes before other crops as such heavy investment in rice in 4 million hectares can easily earn the country over $1billion annually and Nigeria has over 36 million hectares of arable land.
privatise the railway as it seems the required capital needed for its expansion would be to much.
revisit or revoke privatisation on power.
nationalize the transport sector esp interstate transport.
stop issuance of contracts esp road. the ministry of works is not there to be ministry of contracts and employ people to wot
invest in health sector esp putting a model where the senior minister is in charge of public healthcare, disease breakout e.t.c and the junior is in charge of health infrastructure, hospitals e.t.c and ensure the take off of the NHIS scheme.
encourage states to sell/privatise the football clubs. a full capacity stadium of about 65,000 can at the very least net a club over #890mn per season. also invest heavily in other sports, university sports to remove youths from idleness and give them a source of livelihood.
invest in the education sector and encourage both old and young to go back to school . make sure schools teach ethics. stop lecturers from striking. try all possible best to make education as free as possible. it is a right not a privilege. encourage start ups and research in the universities to encounter inventions.
in science and technology encourage think tanks and research institutes. Nigeria once had one of the best crop research institutes in the world, its time to take that position back. encourage research in alt fuel. also research paranormal claims.
discourage teen and unmarried pregnancy as this brings unwanted social trouble, also encourage adoption and discourage more than 3 children per family in order to put our population dynamics under control.
discourage the propagation of bad morals being passed by celebrities by making laws to discourage such and also discourage pirating/copyright infringement. also encourage arts and crafts and tourism
ensure the security forces are trained in public skills and punish severely those who violate human rights. let every agency know its jurisdiction and not be used for grudge or revenge mission. buy new weapons/ for them esp the police, set up an internal affairs unit that monitors officers and also hire trained psychiatrist and psychologist.
That's all for now my hands are paining me. will continue later

ah #63 trillion. abeg these guys should stop telling tall tales as it would make people not believe what they are saying

wahhabism at its peak

12large1:
What’s that goat that’s saying eboue alleged extramarital affairs are enough reasons to discard him of his money? Absolute nonsense! First of all, there’s no reason to speculate that eboue was a cheater or philanderer. Even the “alleged diagnosed” wasn’t even officially confirmed as the disease. The report stated that there were “unusual blood work” during eboue test nothing was confirmed. The simple fact is that if what eboue said about the law forcibly taking all his money upon divorce is true then Fvck that Law. This is one aspects I would never accept of Western culture. No matter what eboue did it’s still not going to negate the fact that he worked hard for all those money, he labored, and toiled for his hard earned Money. Like I said, there’s nothing that he could had possibly done to strip him of all his wealth and become totally destitute to his wife. It’s either
1, Eboue is not telling us the real story
2, Eboue must be a little bit slow

bros remember HELL HATH NO FURY AS A SCORNED WOMAN. Am pretty sure this woman had known eboue before him blow

Nuzo1:
Enough of all these misconceptions.

Eboue's predicament has little or nothing to do with his white wife. But everything to do with the notorious lifestyle of most black athletes: women, booze and clubbing. Eboue was also very reckless and condescending with his words to people. And his wife will not be spared.

Now, there's a huge chance of losing much of your earnings if you are married in developed environment and living such a reckless lifestyle. And so, Eboue for the most part knew what he was getting himself into when in his excesses decided to get married in such environment. Even a village African lady in such environment would walk away from Eboue.

Besides, Eboue allegedly infected her with HIV as result of his excessive extramarital affairs. How many of you will tolerate that against your sister?

We are all fallible and therefore, I sympathize with him and hope he gets back on his feet very soon. But it's wrong to blame the white wife for his predicament. Matter of fact, Eboue never blamed his wife, only Africans are doing that.

And for those advising MIKEL to watch out. Please don't worry. MIKEL is humble, reserved and family oriented. Most sensible girls hold such people tightly.

thank you very much. its so annoying when people use the case of eboue as a yardstick. does anyone know if his wife sued him for infecting her with HIV( that's if he infected her)? also there is no sane judge who would give eboue custody because of his large lifestyle. if anyone had gone carefully through his interview, you will see where he admitted buying flashy cars and living large and we all know what accompanies that. we all do not know what the lady passed through as we do not know her own side of the story. this was a woman with eboue before he ever made it. examples of how useless some footballers can be are Ryan giggs, Wayne Rooney, Sergio aguero e.t.c.

ta una dey laugh, na d guy no wetin him go dey sufa days why him come dey cry like baby. maybe d boo na serious mma champion him come dey reason all those punishment dey im go chop

I have a simple question to ask, how would you feel if you are the photographer and you don't have a gf or wife? how would you respond to the couple when they were trying out that stupid pose?

dude get well soon. to those pointing fingers and wishing evil do remember your other fingers are pointed at you. you do not invited the devil to dine with you by wishing someone evil because that same devil will visit such evil back to you in the nearest future rather you pray for him. to those claiming Christianity while wishing someone evil I put it to you that you are not of God but of the devil

He must die before tomorrow to compliment this fuel scarcity. When you want the children of God to suffer while celebrating Christmas and you want to be at peace, those that the Lord wants to punish he first make them mad. His father will soon have plain crash

Accident can happen to anybody irrespective of class, status, tribe or political affiliation. You don't have to lose your humanity because you hate the boys father. Yusuf is in stable condition and not dead. Hopefully, he will live. Keep your RIP for people around you who are truly dead.

true talk bro. they forget that every one dies the only thing we don't know is the time,place and how. death is not what one trivializes

if true then wet in Yoruba parable talk na true ago lo kpa eyan

taa make them keep quiet there. the only filling station selling fuel in Benin at #145 is at textile mill road and it is owned by an Hausa, Muslim man. all other stations even the one owned by a deacon is b/w 245 to 250 per litre and these are owned by xtians

fineboynl:
organization that turn a blind eye to killing all over the world. they are losing their relevance maybe we should go back to 1900s where every one provides for themselves.

.

u do know that there were organizations like UN then such as entente, the league of three emperors and others

tete7000:
When will all these people stop all these nonsense rants about Christmas? No one forces anyone to celebrate Christmas. If it is a pagan feast to you, it's all your choice not to celebrate, leave those who see it more than that to celebrate. It is a height of delusion for one obscure man somewhere to think his view about Christmas changes anything about how the world choose to celebrate it. A celebration that predates his great grand father. If he is a pastor, he can save all his message for his followers. Many of us don't care. Christmas for us is a time to commemorate the birth of the Christ, the saviour of the world. It is what we chose to believe and what we celebrate. And we celebrate with much funfare...Merry Christmas to all. May the joy,love, peace and happiness of this season be all ours.

yes o. even if it is to commemorate that day during the world war(DEC 25th) when two opposing armies stopped fighting then shared foods and drinks with each other and played ball. that day went to show that there is a reason for the season, that we are all humans irrespective of tribe,politics,nations e.t.c. to reno we know its not DEC 25th that he was born, but we use this day to commemorate him, think of it as a sustained evangelism through the ages as people irrespective of religion love gifts. if you and your other fellows can pinpoint the exact date accurately and to the belief of all we would all move Christmas to that day but if not guy just go your house go dey dance one corner for Christmas day and no accept gift or anything that comes with xmas including taking ur children to santa, shopping and primping ursslf . come 2 think of it don't celebrate new year 2 as it was a pagan holiday to worship janus

Exactly. The players for the awards are selected based on several criteria and not just because club he's playing for won the league or his country qualified for World Cup and he played.

Other criteria includes but not limited to, number of goals scored during the football year under review, number of assists, number of hours played amongst others. We should stop these sentiments joooor.

Kanu Nwankwo winning it then was exceptional.... He was on the verge of career death and was in the news all year round and just after his performance for court try and club.

Moses has been injured greater part of the year, been on the bench too, played sparingly for country, scored fewer goals.... These stats can win you an award! Besides these, all those crying foul, did they vote for him?

Mahrez won under Leicester City because he had a hand in almost every goal scored by Leicester City on the way to victory.

you're talking ng about this season not last season which is what this award is about

Op why are u trying to post propaganda and news that can be taken out of context. A cursory glance of the net via google shows that this mews broke out between 10th to 14th of November 2017. This was well before Trump's Jerusalem declaration in December. My friend think before you post

I do not care. if money finish na then you go dey talk say we psquare only went on a break. nonsense!

Stop saying what you don't know, even in Saudi Arabia some women go with Open hair wearing only Abaya and mutawa's (religious police) won't do anything to them. Is she more Muslim than Saudis?

I guess he is saying queen rania of Jordan is also guilty

JackBizzle:
A lot of religious people fail to realise that their religion is not important.

Humanity before religion.

three gbosa for u. you are a human first before being Islamic, christian or Hindu. I believe that those who are overly religious have latent superiority complex. if not how can this lady expect that allowance should be made for her when it has not been done for anyone, what is that if not superiority complex

na so so straight to ASP them they promote all this connected northern to. why not inspector. they just want their people to reach the top quickly. anyway this is the problem of naija democracy, when those of their region are in power they have opportunities and high ranking open to them and closed to other regions. You can even see it in the way some of these northern rags and bone men(truck pushers) behave. they will behave as if they own the roads , as if they are the ones in power, crime perpetrated by them would be on the rise. just compare the statistics b/w obj, yaradua, jona and buhari and you will see it
