2face f up,but Reuben Abati,u are one of those people never 2 be remembered for anything positive,u experienced your 2face-ism,when u fought for d masses in The Guardian,but went up there and messed up.U are a vivid example of what a 2face should be.Sometimes u make an irreparable damage to your person and credibility,one u wished would wash off with time,but it wouldn't.The same with Olu Adeniyi,and Femi Adeshina looks like one to beat ur record,so my dear Reuben,Shut Up!

Exactly. This guy was in the corridors of power and totally lost his values.

Hungry mofos. Wonder how much they collected, 10k tops.

You are standing with Buhari. Buhari is chilling in London, constant electricity, good healthcare (so te he is waiting for test result), cheap food. But what do these ones have? Unequipped health centers, generator noise provided they can afford to fill it with diesel, bad roads and so on.

Continue standing.

Honestly if I were you, I would have mentioned Dr. Mrs. Adedovoh to him/her. The woman who died while preventing Sawyer from escaping her hospital to spread the Ebola virus. Let see how the teacher go fail am. Stupid nationalist and leaders.... Not even one to be called a hero

@ Omudia11, I agree with him.
That's true! She sacrificed her life and took practical steps to protect so many others from dying.
Our politicians do not qualify in any way to be called heroes.

mrvitalis:
Stop protesting for symptoms... Protest for the real real reason the symptoms show...

.. We need to understand what recession is and how we got here and and how we can get out....


My idea is simple until government revenue is above 30 trillion per day (and mostly through tax) we won't be able to develop....

I hear governors collecting billions as security votes u don't care because the money is not from ur pocket....

We need to tax more.. Its not fair 10% of people own 90% of our wealth... And the only way to redistribute this is through taxing

Not true. Even if they collect 100 trillion per day. If there are no sound structures and systems in place, that money will be looted and go into private pockets as is currently the case. Money is not Nigeria's problem, its distribution is.

People die daily from lack of basic, affordable healthcare.

Sad but true. The current state of the nation.

Hadez:
To hell with Nigeria. I already have my Canadian passport

Very insensitive statement. Like others don't have dual citizenship

By the way, hope you know having a Canadian passport does not mean you are accepted, so better wake up and smell the coffee rather than making empty boasts online.

jojotemitopaz:
This only fruit this protest would bare is violence...it cant force anyone to do anything better...if we really want things better...the same enery used in gaining momentum for protest could be used to practically solve our internal problems...we always expect Government to provide jobs but we are too lazy to see thru how we can communually create one. If this movement is able to independently solve problems without much or no influence from the Government...then u can force them to make changes because by then we would have been well equiped. Now the best we can do is make more noise that can at best create bigger divisions and ultimately more violence

This has nothing to do with being lazy. There are BASIC amenities that NEED to be provided by the government for a society to function well and make economic progress. People have loads of ideas, the environment is what frustrates them.

The protest must go on. Eod.

Myself2:
I see Buhari's recession has greatly ravaged your brain and robbed you of the capacity to reason well.
Do you realize that Buhari,being the president of Nigeria has ceased to be a private citizen In civilized societies where the leaders are not hypocritical like Buhari and where the aides of the president are honest, when the president is sick,they tell the whole nation and her citizens whatever is wrong with their president.I ask you @Hungerbad and other zombies like you "what exactly is the sickness plaguing our president Mohamadu Buhari ??
You see, even a zombie like you does not know.
So stop dodging the real issue of what is plaguing Buhari,stop looking for imaginary persons you say are wishing him dead as if it was someone that wished him to become sick.He is not super human,he is a mere mortal like every other Nigerian,it's only zombies like you and deceptive hypocrites like the president and his handlers that fail to realize this hence they keep shrouding his health condition in unecessary secrecy

Well said. Nothing to add.

ddippset:
same way Jonathan won with a wide margin on the internet.

That's a huge lie! I vividly remember the number of likes pro-Buhari comments and votes used to get on NL during the election period. Buhari had immense goodwill from Nigerians which he has squandered. No point trying to sugar coat the truth.

Yep!!

Tuface exempted himself, doesn't mean the millions of other Nigerians intend to do the same.

Feraz:
I find it distasteful that you will accuse the Igbos of wishing death on the president. Wasn't it said that the death rumours emanated from the camps of the same party you support?

Of course, peddling hate will get us nowhere but I hope you said the same pre-election? I hope you said the same when different armless IPOBs and Shiites were murdered by security operatives?

But whatever to make the "Igbos" the scapegoat for y'all is alright as it seems to bring joy to you.

Edit: a link that showed a pastor wishing death on Jonathan. . .https://www.nairaland.com/843171/bakare-prophesies-jonathan-die-power

So many hypocritical posts in this thread then even a well-known hater who never wished the former and his family well. I recall when some people were warning on NL about this politics of hate and the disrespect of the office of the president during Yar'Adua regime down to Jonathan's and how it will become uncontrollable in latter years but was rebuffed by many NLers. Hypocrites they are. . .

He's just a typical hypocrite sharing his hypocritical views all over the place.

HungerBAD:
Irrelevant people.

It is only in Nigeria, uneducated celebrities [/b]think they are relevant in the Governance of a Country. The business of running a Country is not a Comedy Show,or singing you are my African Queen.

This is exactly one of the reasons Trump won in the US. Because Hollywood ganged up against him,and thought they could use their star power to influence the election.

[b]You entertainers should stick to entertaining,and let serious minded people worry about Nigeria.

Are they not Nigerians? Are they not living under the same conditions as other Nigerians? So they should "stick to entertaining" because "serious minded" people like you said so. Very sensible indeed.



You claim they are uneducated celebrities but you who is supposedly educated is in full support of an uneducated president. The joke really is on you.

Mznaett:
Ok..but why are you guys always scared of the "standard" hospitals you built in "our" country? Cuz I am not understanding again o..btw,oga na Bubu we been dey expect abeg no be u

Do they even build anything? Very foolish leaders, every single thing they run abroad. If those ones had not equipped their hospitals will they be usable today?!

FunkyMetahuman:
I hear you.
Another pdp army.

I don't give a flying hoot about PDP. Not everyone who is anti-this current administration is pro-PDP, the facts on the ground (unemployment, inflation, crime) speak for themselves.

dayowunmi:
I think a law should be passed barring anyone above 60 from contesting our presidential election. This man goes on leave top frequently. Osinbajo has functioned as acting president too frequently. Kilode.

His frequent trips all over the globe didn't help matters, consistent jet lag contributes to stress.

0b10010011:
So your source is Nairaland? Re u aware Niaraland is also full of gossips? Give me a more credible source!

I'm sure if you look closely at the Nairaland thread quoted, you will see the source staring at you.

HungerBAD:
Some people will not like this.

But hey,the man says he wants more rest days which he is constitutionally entitled to.

I also know some children of hate,will come on this thread to say President Buhari is dead. For those wishing him dead,back to sender as nobody is dying this year.

Anybody wishing President Buhari any kind of ill luck HOLY GHOST FIRE.

You obviously would be singing a different tune had this been done by a different government.

Hey, everyone would love extra leave days from work, except guess what most people have been rendered jobless by this hopeless government and don't even have work to rest from.

He's chilling in London in another man's country, using the hospitals built by their taxes. He ought to have some shame.

FunkyMetahuman:
you called revolution protesting..

Revolution and protesting are two different words.
Protest usually starts a revolution, but don't get it twisted they are very two different things.

Now tell me, which history has protesting alone ever changed anything?

Two different words indeed. In any case, I've made my point --> Protests can be and have been agents of social and political change.

FunkyMetahuman:
go back and read those histories again, it all ended in revolution, violence and blood shed before anything changed. Are Nigerians ready for any violence?
Has violence or revolution ever solved any problem in 21st century?

Gimme one example where protesting changed anything in 21st century?

Stop twisting / changing your words. What you said is protesting NEVER changes anything. History shows it does. Eod.

Silly thread. I wonder what we should do with this info. Were they coerced to take up the role.

You people won't face your master Buhari who has thrown the labour market into a terrible state. Zombiefied zombies.

These comments above. Na wa o. This is what the religion section on Nairaland has turned to. Seun must be really proud of himself.

Cityguy:
It beats me how some people can live in denial and carry on as if things are normal. They have told themselves lies over and over again that their skulls are now impervious to truth and reality. How could someone living in Nigeria of 2017 with all social and economic indices nose-diving claim life is better than in 2014? Is it memory problems or serious delusion? Olodumare, pls heal our land ooooo.

It beats me myself, it really does.

seunmsg:
I am not surprised at all. If we turn the table, the same people criticising those celebrating Ibori's return will do same for criminals from their hometown. Even people who still refer to Jonathan as hero are criticising those celebrating Ibori.

As a people, our values are extremely crooked. So, let's stop the hypocrisy. This is exactly who we are. Corrupt values=corrupt citizenry=corrupt leaders.

Yep, and that certainly includes all those bent on defending this woeful government despite the reality on ground. You know yourselves.

FunkyMetahuman:
you are not getting it. Government will always win, and protesting has never changed anything than change people's support for the government.

Occupy Nigeria protest didn't stop GEJ from increasing the pump price did it? It only made people started hating GEJ. After all, your Gej had almost the support Buhari had 2011.

Things appeared to be worse under GEJ, though not as worse, if you consider the inflation rate. but some of you still clamouring for that GEJ to come back now.

I'm not anti protesting, I just don't think I'm ready to protest for pdp or get used by any power seeking political party again. This has taught me that in 2019, I will look well before I vote and not carry placards for pdp to come back and continue their looting spree.

Big lie.

Tell that to Emmeline Pankhurst and the suffragette movement that ensured women can now vote during elections.

Tell that to MLK and Black Americans who can now hold the highest office in the US.

Tell that to South Africans who now have their country back.

If protesting never changed anything the govt and its cohorts would not be making threats left right and centre.

Not just the inflation rate, on several fronts things are FAR WORSE right now.

Stop peddling lies!

Where did you get such information from?

The search function is your friend

Beremx:
Thumbs up to Tuface, he has done his best. the government is afraid of the crowd he's gonna pull out. The clueless government knows they have failed woefully.

The purported protest alone has thrown the government off-balance.

Protest must go on with or without him.

Well said.

Buhari is chilling in London while recession is biting Nigerians harder *claps hands

So much crime in Nigeria lately

She looks great for 70! Happy birthday to her.
