So you expect the constitution to spell out every act or conduct in details? People like you are not worth any argument because it makes no difference. Thus, you expect the constitution to also specific the everyday clothes of the President and other senior officials. Guy, put on your thinking cap. Stop the baseless argument.

please, we are not all idle. i have serious issue to take care of and if you don't haveanything serious to say don't bother responding.

You have serious serious issues to take care of like? Lemme guess, scratching your ears, taking a bath, pruning your finger nails, going to church right?

Youre so busy you cant refrain from quoting me. I'd even forgotten that i made that statement you're just quoting now.

Guy go do whatever you wanna do and stop lurking around my mentions forming busy.

The judiciary which is supposed to be the common man's last hope has sold it's soul to the devil.

Shame on all of you judges in this country.

Your own judgement and condemnation is waiting for you in the presence of the Just Judge.

You think y'all can escape justice? We all have a date with Mr death, the grim reaper sooner or later.

So I saw this wonderful post on FB and decided to share.

"Abuja is probabaly the worst-hit of Nigerian cities by this recession. It is only understandable: Abuja works at nothing but revels in wanton opulence, fed strictly from pens adding zeroes behind a whole number. It's buildings are populated with straw companies gliding on patronage and privilege, not rights, merit and productivity.

Most of its inhabitants are currently in what seems a state of disbelief, if not shock. My son and I walked lazily to Sheraton two Saturdays ago and from the gate you got a surprise: no line of traffic! The lounge was empty as the car park was vacant.

We sat in surprise at the little corners of decay creeping on the lounge, part of which was even poorly lit. Of course, even Maitama an Asokoro are wrapped in thick darkness these days at 8pm if grid power fails.

I was surprised at the black silence I met in these desolate palaces. Everywhere signs hang on homes and high-rise office buildings begging for tenants. I called a number on one and the voice that answered said it was for sale: 3.6billion, seven-story building with a footprint of about 250sqm. "I see".

There is good hiding in evil and sometimes you don't even have to look too deeply to see it. Too many wealth in Nigeria is strictly in figures without any underlying source or feeder spring. If you got your money through work and creativity; if they put you in a desert, you will still replicate the feat.

What is called a recession in regular economics is but a dethronement of false money, the overthrow of pretenders and wealth built with the tip of a pen so that reality and productivity can take over. It is an inevitable passage if nature is correctly programmed.

In a hilarious circle I was told about a typical Abuja moneybag whose fortune has now turned around. He was in money - and you know what I mean. In In height of his affluence he collected two more wives to make a total of three. But the noose had been getting tighter and, all streams gone dry, he applied for a loan from a bank.

Not so well exposed to the hazard of seeking credit from Nigerian banks, he was exceedingly positive he will soon be credited an so went with gusto to the manager's office on an appointed day to get the final answer on his application. When he was told that he had been turned down, he lost control of himself so completely that he pooped on himself right there in the bank.

He was helped into the bathroom and offered a ton of tissues and when he had become manageable, they led him into a taxi and gave him a thousand naira to the bank's happy ending of the personal tragedy.

The story teaches us that wealth without foundation will end in sudden failure. It is not only Abuja or the typical, overweight Nigerian big man, Nigeria itself is a victim of lazy wealth: oil is not a result of hard work or creativity. We don't even as much as have local capacity to drill the oil!

If we don't build our economy by adding value through processing and developing our human resources, we won't end up much better than that poor individual you just laughed at."

Culled from Facebook.


Here's my own opinion:

Most beautiful cities around the world only get to that point after surviving a huge catastrophe, giving them the opportunity to rebuild. The London fire of 1666 comes readily to mind.

Rapacious leaders in the past have destroyed the economy of this country. It's time to start rebuilding from ground zero. It is going to be tough, it is going to be tedious and time consuming, but we will get there.

For the Wailers who are happy to support corrupt personalities online and offline because it gives them a chance to get back at the object of their hate, President Buhari, or because they are from your ethnic stock, I say, you are only doing yourselves.

Once an ashewo always an ashewo.

Ashewo no dey retire.

Hiploko:
suspend the use of your zombie brain for 8 minutes, use the original brain God gave you to reason all Fayose said, tell yourself the truth and thereafter, put on your zombiefied brain to keep earning your pay.

I have noticed you. You can get lost now.

Knowing the number of citizens and residents you are supposed to cater for is quite important if you're to plan adequately. But a census is the worst approach we can employ in this country.

We all know of our penchant to always tweak the results of any national exercise such as elections and census to favor whoever or whatever is in power.

Rather, how about a mandatory biometric registration by all humans resident in Nigeria, both citizens and foreigners.

Each person should go to the local government where he lives and register. The registration should capture the ten finger prints, eyes and voice recognition as well as passport photos ofcourse.

Citizens who have proved with documents that they are actually citizens will be give a social security number which they will use for everything they need to do. From hospital registration to opening a bank account and so on.

I know for a fact that there are Cameroonians with no biological ties to Nigeria who carry the Nigerian green passport. How about that?

I think ima float my own political party soon. I hear they're paid a hundred million bucks. I could use that bread though.

Unfortunately what he would have used to "arrest" the recession has been stashed in foreign banks of other countries by bastards like you.

I blame his family. By now a good family that loves their son would have located a good native doctor for some very potent herbs to cure his dementia.

Seems they are comfortable watching one of theirs dance naked in the market square.

tot:
Doesn't blaming Jonathan get stale? Two years and counting and the country keeps retrogressing at a fast rate and you can type here with a clear conscience and not admit any failure on the part of this government? There is surely something wrong somewhere.

I guess you were expecting Buhari to come in and wave his magic wand like Harry Potter and all will be well right?

There are always consequences for every action.

We are enjoying the result of government-supervised looting from GEJ/PDP era.

He and his cohorts broke the the economy almost irreparably.

I'm sure you've heard the saying that it's easier to destroy than to rebuild, right?

This is a classic example.

This daft woman again!

Have you ever witnessed where a mad man points at a sane person and shouts "mad man"?

zanebaddo:
Fucck this country.. Fucck afonjasssss, fucck cow rearers, fucck buhari! fucck SS/SE politicians. Fucck kemi fucck emefiele!

How about you toddle off to the kiddie section. God bless you as you do so.

Confused Government


We All Miss GEJ

Please speak for yourself. Nothing to miss about a kleptomaniac whose cluelessness as the leader of this country was unprecedented.

This is so sad. The airline should be grounded until it can meet aviation standards.

Blackmail is a crime. Report him to the police cost he's coming back for more.

cozyfaithex:
Thanks a lot everyone,I really appreciate ur advice,it will go a long way.@ Gaborone thanks.]

Nothing is wrong with you.

Look at the bright side. A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage.

They weren't yours to begin with. So be thankful they're gone.

Don't rush into another relationship just yet. Chill out and make out time for self I development.

Enjoy your singlehood for a while. Being single is not a curse. It can be fun.

Go out and enjoy yourself to the fullest. Always have at the back of your mind how very special you are. There's just only one of you in about 7billion humans on earth.

That special person who will value you will come into your life unexpectedly when you're busy doing something else.

Enjoy yourself. Life's to short to be moping around d with low self esteem.

If her husband is dead, no problem.

Myhonor:
Am not dating anybody and I didn't leave him because of another guy... He did something annoying and we had issues

Well things happen so we can learn. This is the story of how you threw away 3years relationship. Just like that. I guess you'll have to start all over again.

Next time you'll be more patient and forgiving.

Look on the bright side though. Maybe he didn't really love you like you thought since it didn't take him time to replace you in his heart. So maybe this is a blessing in disguise.

Anyway, take a time out on relationships yourself and work on yourself. Don't go and get yourself a rebound lover. And stop contacting this other guy. Don't break his relationship.

This Melaye guy is a scumbag and a lowlife of the filthiest type.

Here's what happens when you vote somebody just to spite a region or because he is from another region, he feels entitled. Like he deserves it. Then we end up having another Jonathan on our hands.

This is the time to put pressure on the FG to start devolving power to the lower tiers of government, state and local.

The country is too big to be run like this. That's why nothing gets done and only a tiny drop filters to the grassroots.

Too much attention at the center. Make the center less attractive and you'll see a healthy competition among states and regions.

Telling us to vote for this person because he is from this region is cave mentality really.

We should evolve from that please.

CSTR2:
Nigerian politics is already tribalized. You need a fresh start to start something more progressive. And to only way to get a fresh start is when stakeholders are satisfied and have trust in a system.
A yoruba candidate can never get the support of the south for now even if he/she is the best candidate? Why? The need for Justice and fair play.
And the only bloc that can create a progressive electoral system that would influence the rest of the country is the south for obvious reasons.
The north will not do that for you.
So there need to be political equilibrium in the south before anything happens.

While I agree with some of your assertions, I believe the main thrust of our energy as youths should be channelled into getting Nigeria to practice true fiscal federalism.

Decentralized power. Give more autonomy to regions, states and local governments. Let us determine our own future.

Let each region grow at it's own pace.

That is more achievable and a better objective than trying to unite Southern Nigeria. A pipe dream if you ask me. The ghost of biafra civil war is very much active.

Instead of canvassing votes for somebody because of his region

What's with all these useless thread telling Yorubas what to do and what not to do come 2019?

If Buhari performs exceeding well and he wants a second term, dude's got my vote for another 4years. Simple as ABC.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not Yoruba race and Yoruba race is not Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

People should quit this stupidity already.

Sorry. Not going to happen in a billion years. Whoever we shall vote for shall have to merit it and not because his parents hail from a part of the country.

Let's stop being silly for once.

Other democracies vote in people because of their capability some sorry dudes are coming to canvas for votes for a region.

Nonsense.

Gone are the days of "tactical maneuver " into Cameroon.

God bless the Nigerian Military.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

FINgames:
you are the only one who has said something reasonable.

Thank you.

giftadene:
lol.. you go blind oh!.....

for wia?

You wan make I show you my goggles?

The lady isn't ready to get married yet obviously.

Two: Somebody should alert the family of that "boy" that their son is about to make the biggest mistake of his entire life. One that will haunt him till his grave.

So of all the fine babes wey dey Lagos na prostitute you wan go marry put for house?

Haven't you heard the saying that you never marry a prostitute?

You think if the sugar daddy comes to Nigeria for hols he won't want to borrow your wife's punana?

This guy must be a dunce.

What kind d of nonsense is this one now.

How about a picture of when the baby was conceived in the womb?

Xflint:
I hvent seen u comment so much about Obasanjo like u do on GEJ.

Anyways, thanks for your sermon... At least I have learnt something from you today.

I love you. Your mentality I mean.

Thank you. Have a great day ahead.
