Tu face why

The only time you could really show you mean the words in your songs, yet you disappointed us.

May be he remembered sound sultan's song:

"I want to be like moses...
Take my people dem to the promise land,
But then I notice something...
People wet try am don dey underground...
I see them, I ja (run), look dem from far,
Me I fear this government people"

How many likes for the likes of Seyi law

He must feel like a scumbag right now. I only hope though that he chickened out from fear, rather than he was paid off.

0b10010011:
His a Labourer and hasn't eaten?


Is he not been paid for work done? What sought of lame excuses is that.

Same excuse drug-addicts give, it's always hunger!

Phew!!

Ugosample:
You are irredeemably useless

Hahahahaha. So funny. That's what happens when people give up their consciences for sale, they become deaf, blind and dumb.

DropShot:
I am sure Nigerians will rank amongst the world's dumbest people.

Simple logic, we find hard to understand.

I am sure if this regime was culpable, Soyinka and those who matter most in Nigeria would have been up in arms before now.

Imagine people defending criminals and corrupt politicians are same protesting about the economic woes brought upon us by the looters they hail!

Shame on them!

proeast:
Exactly, there is no way he or his family would be killed, jailed or harmed in any way because he led a protest. Tuface is not smart, he is just a normal talented guy without a mind of his own.

Yep. Wasted opportunity for him.

BUHARIISCURSED:
where is sarrki and madridguy

on recess they will soon resume. Watch this space!

"'I spoke to the president’s personal doctor last night, and he told me President Buhari is not in any serious condition to worry about. He is not in hospital. He is in the residence at the Nigerian High Commission."

How come he did not speak to the President himself if indeed the delegation was ready to return home yesterday? Why the personal doctor?

PUSH1:
It's no longer party as usual. If it IB u will not only bottle water but fried rice and chicken. Tuface will probably perform.

Na wa o. This obsession ain't no joke! Why not just face your current master, Mr Buhari? rather than looking all around pointing fingers which are pointing back at you.

otega001:
First time i will be seeing our acting president wearing another color of cloth aside black

His change has come!

proeast:
Yes, corpers are not allowed to protest or be partisan in any way. Kudos to the corper though, situation in Nigeria has gone beyond being careful. Tuface missed a golden opportunity to forever join the hall of fame of freedom fighters like Fela, Gani, Nnamdi Kanu etc. Tuface has no excuse, he shouldnt have chickened out even if he was threatened. So sad.

I tell you. I guess that's what separates the men from the boys. Unfortunately people have long memories and will not forget easily. I also don't think any harm would have come to him or his family had he gone ahead, because Nigerians had their eyes on him, the govt and/or police would not want that backlash that would come with harming him.

Shortyy:
Meanwhile Nigerians storm the Nigeria High Commission in UK. Buhari must come out

rotfl..!

Ezionye:
What has Soyinka got to do with this?

I'm sure you read this in the original post:

"I am disappointed in Asiwaju Tinubu, Prof Wole Soyinka, Adams Oshiomole and many more men and women who had led us to believe they are on the side of Nigeria and the oppressed."

susidy:
Take it down woman, this man you're talking about is over 80yrs and you don't expect a man in his age to be running around on the street for YOU. He has played his part, it's now left for you and I to fight for ourselves and protect our futures.

I am not expecting him to be in the streets protesting, my comment was more about how he hasn't spoken up about the state of the nation considering the support he gave Buhari during the election.

asitis752:
you expect them to say they paid 150million naira so that another set of kidnappers will come for them again?

Loool! Are you the other set of kidnapper planning to come for them?!
It would be good for people to know what happened so they can take the right measures to protect themselves.

emmyojo22:
I was not saying she shouldn't protest, but she should protest without the uniform
Yeah u're wrong. The bye laws of nysc prohibits corp members from protesting and also engaging in anything partisan.

Okay, thanks for pointing that out, I didn't know that.

emmyojo22:
Are corpers now allowed to protest

Are corpers not Nigerians?
I've never heard of any rule saying corpers can't take part in a national protest, I may be wrong though.

Enough is enough. Nigerians have had enough.

wristbangle:
Were u not the one that mentioned earlier than everybody is in this mess?

FYI, I condemned the 5percent statement made by the ailing president as any SW person will neva make such ridiculous statement

Yes everyone is, and I am sure they are represented in one of those 2 states, we can't blanket conclude all Igbos are not a part of it simply because no S/E city carried out a protest.

wristbangle:
Ask yourself, aside Lagos, FCT, Ibadan, which other places have we recorded protest so far?

But you guys were the same ones who referred to them as 5% and make fun of them calling them IPOB. If you were in their shoes, would you sincerely think they should join the protest on that basis?

Besides, as far as I am concerned, Lagos and Abuja are melting pots for different ethnicities in Nigeria so they likely are represented there.

Soyinka in particular was a big disappointment. His literary feats made me hold him in high esteem, but he's shown that people can change like the wind.

wristbangle:
Baba no need wasting your time on the IPOB people. They have vowed not to join in the protest becos afonjas removed their shameless hero from power

Some of you still don't get that this protest is beyond 2015 election or online IPOB/Afonja jabs. Everyone is in this mess together and the earlier we stop with these unnecessary distractions, the better.

0b10010011:
Scanty protest!


Akpabio and Fayose's plan failed woefully.



I just hope the Nigerian Armed Forces and Nigerian Police Force do the needful in due time.

State it clearly. What exactly is the needful to be done? Shoot at innocent protesters? You should be ashamed of yourself if that is what you were referring to.

Later when people are referred to as animals in human skin, they will claim they are not.

mrvitalis:
Please read about Brazil and Indonesia economic please... U can grow even in corruption... But no economy that depends on taxing can be excessively corrupt because the tax payers won't let that happen

U think if Saudi or uae get their money from tax they will allow their leaders to be worth billions... Hope u get my point now

So you think looting will be less if the income is from tax, rather than oil...hmmm, fair point, people will be more sensitive to how the money is spent.

ebuclassic18:
you want to know if dey wer raped abi?

Not everyone has a sick mind like yours.

They should at least tell us what exactly happened; people have a right to know because they played a role in raising the awareness.

mrvitalis:
My point is all three have better infrastructure than us.. If we had enough revenue at worse we will be like Brazil.. That's my point..

They have better infrastructure because they have low levels of corruption, with the exception of Brazil - there is nothing to aspire to in "being like Brazil". They've got equally as many problems as Nigeria has right now because of corruption. It has nothing to do with revenue. Countries without high revenues are making progress, because the little they have, they use it for what it is meant to be used for.

mrvitalis:
Lol.. Ok Brunei, Brazil, Indonesia

None of these 3 are middle east, and of the 3 the only one known for massive corruption is Brazil, they have had a lot of protests since 2016 because of the economic situation. Corruption at the end of the day will always hinder development significantly.
Indonesia is not a huge player in the oil sector, their production has declined in the past two decades.
Brunei is a tiny country, not much to reckon with.

I'm not sure the people around Buhari have his interest at heart at all. If they did they would have cautioned him. When he was flying across the globe like someone being pursued, he didn't realize that consistent jet lag and change of environment at this age should be minimized.

Does he see Mugabe or Biya travelling in the same manner? They know they are old, they don't tempt fate.

mrvitalis:
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, uae all have super corrupt leaders living lavish lifestyle... But yet has enough to develop their place.. That's what enough revenue can do for u

Those 3 countries you mentioned have done very very well in terms of development neither are they known for corruption (check their ranking in the latest index) - so again this is not just about having high revenues but high revenues combined with low levels of personal enrichment and corruption.

mrvitalis:
The middle east has some of the most corrupt leaders and messed up systems in the world.. But because the revenue is high what do u get?

Which middle east country are you referring to? Be specific please.

The oil rich countries in the middle east are doing very well because they have developed their country with the oil income they made i.e. the money was NOT looted like was and still is being done in Nigeria.

elantraceey:
10k ke? who dash them?

Loooool

whirlwind7:
Just wondering.....do you have a life outside NL?

I mean, anytime I click on a random thread that catches my attention, I see you making lengthy posts as if you were paid to do so.

It's obvious even to the blind..
