The judiciary by constitutional demands is an independent body and will remain so.

Independent body that kept quiet to 50 years of PDP corruption People are very happy with what Buhari is doing. It is one sided because PDP has been the ruling party, so obviously most of the corrupt politicians will be PDP. Not all but most.

PDP Please, stop your election propaganda. Even if we do not vote APC in 2019, we are not voting PDP. There are new young political parties coming up everyday. Just give up and spear us internet bandwidth.

Now i am not an APC or PDP fan, i am more of a civil rights person. But my goal in life, (and many civil rights movements in the nation) is to keep PDP out of power. infact it is part of the Agenda. Nobody will ever vote PDP again. That is 50years of slavery. It does not mean we will always vote APC.
My point is I am tired of seeing propaganda blasting APC. Let them do their jobs. The truth is we criticize Buhari and PDP sees this as some form of endorsement for PDP. No it s not.

The country is in transition. It won't be easy, but it worth the try. I see slams on APC about fuel scarcity, no jobs, etc. Did we have fuel in PDP regime, even when we had how much was it. PDP take our resources sell it to European masters and pocket the money for themselves like Nigeria belongs to them.

What kind of jobs did we have under PDP regime? Ghost workers just collecting milk and milo, 50,000 every month not really doing anything? PDP has wrecked the entire nation. Not because it stole money, but because it set an unacceptable culture of mindlessness and zombification.
NEVER AGAIN

.....in the good old days, if you have a senior student at home you have a teacher, he will take charge of the lesson of all the children in the area, writing letters for every body, read letters for them, he would take the responsabiity of the leadership at very early stage of his life, and people know him, if there is any oppotunity in that area people no nobody than him, but today, just keep queit!
they can't do anything for them selves talkless of helping other! they were lazy! only enjoy free ride!
the generation of no respect, the children of human right! people need to work hard to be consider! let people know you, forget about the well-wishes, that belong to the people and the people give it to who ever they trust! why fight for what belong to other? ...you gain that with trust!
....mandela fight for his people's freedom from appatheid government!
.....matin luthin king fight for black race freedom in america!
.....obasanjo, buhari and many laid down their life to fight for the unity of this nation!
......every generation have their own challenges but the hero of the time stand to fight to over-come it!
the challenge of today is how to recover the looted fund and put the looters into shame, that's our future, if we failed to our own peril, where are the youth to fight this noble fight? where is the mandela of nigeria, luthin king of nigeria hindras gandi of nigeria!.....no one!
the looters were praying day and night for the failure, that's where there interest are! and no youth challenge them! they praise them!

Shame on the youth?? The older generation that sold their souls for bag of rice and tin tomatoes. The older generation that are slaves to greed and power at the expense of their national identites. Shame on the youths?? If you, older generation had done what real men did for their countries even for a year in those 50 years, we wont be having this conversation.
Give up. PDP, never happening again. Except they rig elections, then wipe out all nigerians from the country, because nobody will agree, then they will rule themselves and empty country.
Shame on the youth?? SMH. who is to blame for sitting by and letting an entire generation of people be enslaved by the greed of a few men?

PassingShot:
If you know the percentage of registered voters in SE and SS that are not South Easterners.

Someone has given very misleading and very unimaginably wrong figures, you're talking about negligible figures to justify the poo.

You guys need to wake up from your slumber and PDP mentality. Nigerians no longer vote for 'my brother'. If they did, Buhari would never have won. We are now voting for political ideas, political startegies which is a foreign thing to PDP.

Look all these talk of PDP makes me laugh. All you PDP propagandists... Because you were promised appointments and things changed before it was your turn. Honestly, I will be honest, PDP is likely not to even be in 2019 election. Of course they will be there but no one would even look at them. Even if APC fails, no one is voting PDP. APC, regardless of inner politics, have done in 12 months what PDP failed to do in 50years. The difference between APC snd PDP is this, while PDP are just money grabbing monsters who seek to rotate power, make no mistakes, APC are power grabbing too, all politicians everywhere are BUT APC has always had a vision for Nigeria, a working Nigeria.

Corruption is not the causes of Nigeria's problem; all countries and their govt are corrupt money loothers. Ours is Greed. People take and give back. PDP want to take, leave everybody else in destitue and enrich only a minority of the population. Enough of this "seat for my brother" mentality. PDP candidates at all levels do not know they work for the people. They think public seats are their family inheritance so they think they are not answerable to the people.

Now I am not pro-PDP neither pro-APC, honestly i want both of them out. No more. But we gave PDP a chance for 50 years, let us give APC a chance. In 2019 one thing is definite and sure, PDP is not winning. Unless they rig elections which will only anger Nigerians. If APC provides quality of live for the people, bye PDP.

Yh good one.u r thinking of the future.. I will be interested OOO.Excel n Econometrics here

Nice. I am thinking of business ideas. How we create revenue for businesses in Nigeria. How do we do this?

freeze001:
I think it's a major sign of inferiority to make a distinction between degrees from within or outside Nigeria. That is knocking oneself out even before you start the race. As far as political appointments are concerned, a BSc, whether from within or outside Nigeria is enough.

How many Nigerians are privileged to study abroad? You then add salt to injury by adding a Masters requirement just because they studied in Nigeria... It is in fact possible that some of those who have foreign first degrees might have been trained on stolen funds so why still give them an advantage over fellow Nigerians?

I do agree that the educational standard need to be raised and beyond articulating proposals for development and so on, there should be a mechanism for checking substantial/50% compliance with proposals earlier submitted say at mid-term, failure of which will see that person ineligible to contest elections into any office for the next dispensation.

Yes but you have to understand the reason for the distinction. Of course when we get our universities up to standard and raise the level of education, this wont even be a debate. But for now dont you think we might need to outsource?

Perceptor:
Relax man, u aint going no where. U aint matured enough to be left to urself. Together shall we make this country great again. U ar our brethren, we love u and we'll neva let u go. winks#)

then Stop stealing and make urselves useful to society rather than drinking meshia tea everyday.

Yes it is a position of inferiority. There is a distinction and like to hear it or not, Nigerian universities are inferior to most outside. And it is our politicians that have made it this way.

Yes my dear, the degrees are necessary. People who knew they wanted to go into politics, got the right degrees or exposure for it. You cannot be farming one day and tomorrow acquire a fake secondary school certificate and start making decisions that affect millions of lives. Unacceptable. If no one will say it I will.

We need to start telling ourselves the hard truths and stop this delusion that we have things we dont.

...back down there! people's right? what right of people you have ever fight for?

are you quoting the wrong post. Bcoz u r off point now

oyinkinola:
...the generation of no respect, the children of human right! you must work for the people first, let people know you, forget about the power power belong to people and the people give it to who ever they trust! why fight for power?

We are not a generation of no respect; we are generation that knows who and when to give respect: What amazes me is how people think respect must be given to you because you are older. Nigerians youth are no longer that timid bunch.
Social and cultural respect is the African culture and we always respect to our elders (even if they are wrong; say yes; we know). However, i do not believe that argument is relevant in economic and political respect.

I forsee a violent overturn with the way things are.

Not violent;

....mandela fight for the freedoom of his people not for an office, matin luttin king fight for the freedom of black america not for political office, you don't fight for corruption, non do you care of the looted fund, who will trust you!
buhari had laid his life down for this country several times, he is still in fight to save this nation today!

What is your point? This is not a run for any political position. It is a civil rights cause. We are simply saying our government must be accountable to us. And we must provide the technological and social platforms to let that happen. So what are you saying? We should leave them to continue? If you are a PDP or APC affiliate, i suggest you enrol in University now, come 2019; NO more rubbish.

mikolo80:
who is holding you. how many political meeting have you attended. you think leadership is by grammar. not up to 4 million graduates in Nigeria. you wish to disenfranchise over 60 million voters because you were privileged to have university degree. degree that cannot win councillor seat against illiterate. very funny mediocre and incompetent guy trying to shift goalpost in middle of game

Guess what it will. POLITICS IS NO LONGER ABOUT VILLAGE CONNECTIONS. This is what this older generation fail to understand. 2019 Will determine Nigeria's place in global affairs. Politics is about understanding National and International capital markets; It is about the distribution of wealth equally in society; decentralizing power. Politics is about knowing who to push aside, who to suck up to and who to please nationally and globally.

I am not incompetent, i am saying what no one wants to say. Electing illerates is whaT leads to our senators embarrassing us on TV saying "Women's right bill will make our women rich. So that is why we dont want it." In 2016!!!

It is what leads to the fact that our technology and science minister does not have a facebook or a twitter account and does not know what a micro processor is. So tell me how will understand the technological needs of the country?
All these backward thinking people politics in 2016 is still about village politics.

And Just to be clear, This is not a run for any political seat or anything, all we are saying is; our government must be answerable to us.

We need fully educated people at the front, not semi, or low education. If you plan on becoming a senator in 2019, i suggest you enrol this year. By 2019 you should be coming to an end.

I do not need to attend any political meetings. They do not represent the society. What we need is people that understand the internal economy, and dynamics of global affairs. We think like Nigeria is an isolated country and we are the only ones that matter. Biafra, North, West, South, Islam, Christain etc. No one is saying what is really going on. OUR POLITICIANS ARE SECRETLY GIVING OUR RESOURCES TO FORIEGNERS AND KEEPING THE MONEY IN THEIR PERSONAL ACCOUNTS. that must stop. If you are a PDP or APC affiliate, you ae going down.
Guess what? I live in Nigeria together with everyone else. My parents farm in Benue to send me to school. It might not be the best, but it is a start. I cannot be apologetic for my degree.

....it's amazing that todays youth learn, have diplome, but sufer intelligent, they think they can impose on people, because they have opportunity than their fellow country men, they have phd, master degree etc, they dont know that you gain the trust of people with hard working and adoration of people! am asking nigerian youth what you ever done for this nation?
....if nigerian youth can't mobilise against the looters and force the looters to return the looted fund! who will trust you and give power to you, we illitrate were very many than you,smart than you, you only interested in looting, if not, react to the looters first for people to see!

And lastly if you happen to be above 45 years of age and reason for refering to me as 'Today's Youth', well so be it. It's a different generation, different time. We need new things. Not the medieval ways of the older generation. This is not a political party.

Well suit yourself. It is not grammar. We have tried it that way for 50 years and obviously it is not working. I do not have a masters, i do not have a phd, and yet to get a BSc from Nigeria. I am a simple Nigerian from benue state. I am not even involved in the blood bath. I belong nowhere fighting for no side but my country.
You are the ones that we do not need in this country. Demoralizers, enemies of progress. Those who do nothing are the worst. They stagnate economies and live cluelessly with no identities.
About ruling our country, how does being a voter qualify you to be a leader? To be a leader you need to posses qualities that you cannot simply have if you have not been schooled properly. You can shout all you want but it is true. BUSH,OBAMA,CLINTON,JFK : Harvard, YALE. UK Ministers Cambridge, Oxford. Even the russian and chinese presidents have qualitative unquestionable degrees. There is a reason for this you know.

a2personal2013:
The youths have lost their place in today's Nigeria. We need to indulge in massive campaign to get our country back. It may take a while but I think we can get there with continuous pressure. We are just being used by the old foxes to satisfy their insatiable lust.

Our first request should be a change in the system. We need a system that respects everybody regardless of your age, tribe or religion. Nigerians still see age as experience. The older you are , the more experience they think you will be. We should also try to place ourselves on the center of the stage rather than just sit as onlookers. We should not be counted as just votes without playing a role in the government.

Lastly, we must learn to vote wisely bereft of sentiments. We should scrutinize each candidate carefully before lending our support. The past must be reviewed with a projected vision of the future. Clear plans must be seen before pledging our supports. Once we realize that we are the major stakeholders in the business called Nigeria, then we can make the desired positive change.

Like i said, we need to start strategizing and empowering ourselves now.

narapollo:
National Vice-Chairman, (South-South), of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Dr Cairo Ojougboh has pleaded with Nigerians to consider the party for the 2019 presidency.
The erstwhile ruling party, which was in control of the central government for 16 years, lost to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 general elections. It also lost 17 states in the North, believed to be its traditional strongholds.
Ojougboh told newsmen yesterday in Abuja, that the poor performance of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) would soon endear Nigerians to PDP.
“We want to caution against that statement of impunity that there is no vacancy in Aso Rock in 2019.
Speaking on the Rivers rerun election, the PDP chieftain accused the APC of instigating violence which, he noted, led to the suspension of announcement of results by the Independent National Electoral Commission and the cancellation of the exercise in eight local government areas. “It would have surprised all Nigerians, if APC won a seat because Rivers has always been a PDP stronghold. “We are calling on INEC to please, complete the collation that they had started. Results already announced at polling units can’t be cancelled and that’s what the law says.” see more at...[url][/http://www.technetcruz.com/]

All these Govt bodies are just toys, oil for lubricating corruption. INEC, EFCC especially, they need to be debunked.

ckmayoca:
Only if there will be true probe and imprisonment. Next term again we vote apc and they probe and it rotates like that until no more thieves.

The PDP will just release their arrested guys. So...

I highly recommend that you guys do not even show your faces in 2019. It will save you a lot of embarrassment. Just quietly disappear so no one will even ask. If you show your face people might stone you as they will stoning APC too.

Proudlyngwa:
Actually he was proud of his father a retired WO2 and currently a security consultant, and a strict religious man what he meant was his father lived a stereotyped life(being a soldier one wont blame him) , he had the opportunity to make it big then but his mentality of giving all to his country hinderd him, when he retired what did he really get as his severance pay....Peanuts. Take his son today who built on the foundation of his father, yeah he was really sponsored by his father to some extent, had an open mind was innovative refused to be tied down by society,and is exploring new grounds, his father is proud of him and shows him off.
I know all this because Olu is my best friend and I spent 3 full years of my life with that family.

My message is we need to change our orientation and stop worshiping our politicians, our employers and our pastors.

Come with us Demand Change!!!! We can begin.

Proudlyngwa:
How do we take this message to the streets, in coolio's voice, time is ticking away

We have the advantage we know how to access almost every Nigerian today. Watsapp, BBM broadcast message, Facebook and Twitter.
But before any word is sent out. We need to lay the ground works. We need a platform online, that gives the ordinary people power. Where they can come and make decisions. And people will trust this as the true minds of the people.
We are not a political party, or senate group simple youths taking our country back.

Take your country back!!!! That is the only way it will change. If you keep hoping someone will come, no one will. It is simple logic. We need to stand up and say NO. ENOUGH. GIVE US OUR COUNTRY BACK. We need new set of people in house of senate/reps.


Age caps for senate house seats should be reduced to 35.
Our senate seats and rep seats will no longer be appointed but given by the people of respective lands.
Educational requirements for candidates should be increased to BSc from an overseas uni or BSc from a Nigerian uni with MSc.
Candidates must have studied political related subjects/Law/Humanitarian sciences/relevant degree for their post in university.
All candidates must currently, before being chosen, have a job that pays nothing less than the minimum wage.
Candidates must put forward their proposals for development, project plans and milestones before they can be eligible to even run.
These proposals should be signed, and made publicly available for all to see. When a milestone is checked the people tick it off.
Elected candidates cannot purchase private property while in power.
Wages for these officials will be equal the monthly minimum wage of the society.
Failure to meet this means a step down.

THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. SHARE THIS

This is not a fight but a struggle for our nation. This is not about us, it is about the prosperity of a nation and the rights of the people. The seizing of institutional freedom and the establishment of financial freedom. In 2019, we are changing things. NO PDP, NO APC!!! We the people will openly decide (not by that thing they call voting poll) who will represent us in the house of senate and representatives. We will set economic and social development milestones and see clearly how money is allocated and spent. We must create a platform for this. We have the skills in this country.

You do not have to go out and fight or march, you simply have to be involved, setting up and planning. We need to take power if our corrupt politicians have decided to strip it away from us. NO MORE!!!

rhymaster:
It is better to lose your life fighting against terrorists, militants, seccesionists, criminals, oil bunkerers, etc while in the true service of Nigeria than to lose your life for a politician who has moved all his own close family abroad, living the life of a king on Nigeria's dime, etc. Anyone who willingly dies for a politician must be extremely stoopid, yet that does not begin to truly describe him! If you have something worthy going on in your life, a wife, kids, a decent, honest job, dreams of tomorrow you are actively working towards, then tell me the adjective that best describes a moronic decision to go and stand in front of a bullet or wield a cutlass because of a politician??

Africans!!!! SMH!! This is what the british really won. Not oil, our heads. That it is 2016, and we still do not understand the fundamental rule of human existence. CREATE WEALTH AND KEEP WITHIN RACIAL/TRIBAL GROUPS; FOR THE FUNDAMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY OF YOUR RACE. It is funny how everyone in the world except africans know this. And they do it.

You have a wife, kids, decent jobs etc, there are children in our country still dying from mosquito bites. There are children, our children, who we are leaving this country to, still hawking tomatoes at the age of 15, because they have nowhere else to go. There are old people who dedicated their entire lives to this country (ironically, when this country was still useful), sacrificed and worked hard, but now do not have access to their pensions, good health care or any hope for their children. Our mothers are still being oppressed, our youth are still joining cults for financial gains, Niger delta is an environmental harzard, our universities are still ranked lowest in the world, 15 year olds in china are making toys cars and ours are hawking pure water.

And you sit there and talk of decent job and family. FYI, this struggle is not for us, me and you, it is not about you, it is for the generation to come and the sustainability of our people, it is the definition of how our children will live in the world, as slaves to others begging for visas with our culture completely eroded from history or as proud africans living in our God's given wealth.

It is because of these lagging by the older generation that we find ourselves here today, if they were men enough, or even had a dignity, they would never have let this happen. My father included.

Bad things can only happen when good men do nothing.

Rethink, because when you are long gone from this earth, and your children have to suffer in whatever the country might become, you wont be here to save them.
