[s]Am just wondering who is most foolish between the person that initiated this and those who participated including the 25% that voted for Buhari. That is on one hand. On the other hand, am just thinking as much as a democrat as I am who have great love for the rights of citizens, is this not an abuse of freedom of expression and is this not a violation of Pres. Buhari's right to self dignity and respect? Or is it because he is President means he does not hurt? Why do a mock election pitching a sitting president against a goat? In your mind and good conscience is it right at all? We force those in power sometime to become brutal then blame them after for being draconian. I am not in support of the social media bill that failed at the Senate but we are giving them reasons to dust the bill up and debate it again. Can the President sue for this? If he can under our laws, I would ask his legal advisers to institute a suit against this violation of a Man's dignity and self respect.[/s]

Africonji:
So sad. Maybe he didn't fortify himself enough for politics. To play politics in Nigeria is not for fainthearted pipo. R.I.P

SirJeffry:
An entrance of Osita Chidoka into the race backed by Peter Obi will be a game changer.

This is church not politics, you think he just picked people on his own without praying.....Whatever qualms you have with our leaders don't involve things of God,

MMempire:
Can we please have a section on nairaland where people can't comment on post cause i'm really tired of the tribal bigots that flood every trending post just to piss people off. The posts in these new sections should only give nairalanders the option to like the post and nothing else. For Godsake, this is 2017 and i am already really being pissed off by some senseless daily comments by some nairalanders. Seun and all moderators, be it super, mega, powerful, normal, micro or even nano moderators should please do the needful. Thank you.

[s]By Tonnie Iredia The beginning of a new year such as now, offers a good opportunity for Nigerians as a people to take a second look at the previous year 2016 and its catalogue of negative events. Such a review will no doubt be helpful especially if it can draw attention to the way forward.

In other words, to make 2017 a better year, we need to avoid a recurrence of the negative events of last year. Arriving at the solution to our problems may not be an easy task but we imagine that giving credit occasionally to whom it is due is a wise approach.

It is obviously superior to the current trend whereby everybody is a critic in a game in which only President Buhari is perceived to be at fault all the time.

The recent crisis in Kaduna is probably a good example of an issue in which the President has been hastily blamed. Kaduna is a state with its own governor that was elected to run the day to day affairs of the state.

According, Buhari should not be the first to intervene in a problem in one state within a country that has adopted federalism as its system of government For the better part of 2016, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in crisis. Many of the members would readily suggest that the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has been behind it.

There are indeed, those who would blame President Buhari for not dissuading his party members from it. Interestingly, the typical Nigerian politician is ungovernable.

The President cannot even stop his own party members from destroying their own party let alone telling them to let the opposition be. In any case, it would be difficult to find a ruling party in a country like Nigeria which runs a zero-sum political system to encourage political opposition.
Of course, it can’t happen in Nigeria where a ruling party in a state “wins” all the seats in a local election.

If the truth must be said, a political party like the PDP is the architect of its fate. It is its members who are currently in factions that have prevented their party from making a mark even in a state like Ondo where it has been in power.

Painfully they always do so for personal gains. Buhari or not, Nigeria is far from being ready for free and fair elections.

The other day, Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state was reported to have said that he knows those who will not succeed him. We have no proof that Amosun is a professional soothsayer just as we are unaware that as a person he has more than one vote.

So, how else will he stop those he has decided will not succeed him in a future election? He would probably disallow a level playing ground for all aspirants and like Oshiomhole and Mimiko did during the last governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states respectively impose his preferred candidate. Put differently, it is hard to find a blameless politician in Nigeria.

The alarm by Governor Wike of Rivers state on the posting of 28,000 security operatives to his state for just a re-run election makes a lot of sense but when compared to what his PDP federal might did in the same state in 2015, the alarm is not more than crocodile tears. The fight against corruption is an area where many citizens have hailed President Buhari but quite often, the applause is drowned by allegations of selective prosecution.

In a nation that has for too long, been weighed down by excessive corrupt practices, many of those arrested would obviously attract sympathy by singing religious and ethnic tunes. As we argued elsewhere, it is logical that many of those called to question are now in the opposition. This is because being the ones who were in government yesterday; they are those who currently have explanations to make on what they did with public funds.

It is thus irrational to describe their arrests as amounting to selective prosecution. It is worse to insinuate that they are not the only corrupt politicians in our midst because that cannot exonerate them; rather that draws attention to the need for many more people to be arrested.


Again, to harp on the sting operation by the Department of State Services (DSS) on some judges underplays the disturbing issue of corruption in the judiciary-a distasteful act which many retired senior judges had for long been drawing attention to.


Instead of praising an administration that evolved ample courage to deal headlong with the subject, the focus became the inelegance of the method employed.  We are unable to support that line of thought more so as the sting operation did not target every judge.


It is only fair that Nigerians who claimed to have elected President Buhari as a man that can rid the nation of corruption should not also become hyper-critical about a result-oriented approach to the hydra-headed monster. If however people are unhappy about the state of our national economy, it is understandable.

The steep rise in the cost of living alone is enough to sustain public frustration. While agreeing with the argument that the problems of today are the direct result of yesterday’s bad governance, we can hold no one else but the government of today which earlier promised to fix the problems.

Until the economy is fixed, no sermon can convince people to applaud the President. But the premise of this article is that the government should be commended for whatever is well done while urging it to tackle other areas requiring attention. Today, the nation should be up-standing in praise of our President in the fight against insurgency particularly the capture of Sambisa forest.

Before Buhari’s time,  Nigerians languished in the forest as huge sums of money appropriated for the fight against insurgency were allegedly diverted by different actors in the corridors of power. Cynics may doubt the feat at Sambisa but we prefer to commend our gallant forces seen by newsmen in Maiduguri the other day dismantling the official Boko Haram flag at Parisu, Camp Zairo, in Sambisa Forest. Bravo to our Commander in Chief!

[s]This loquacious thugnor again.

Buhari is busy creating genuine millionaires and not political millionaires.



We know the drift: steal billions and distribute N200 at the market square to those you stole their future.

When nemesis is about to catch up with you, run to those poor souls to come to your defense.

Unfortunately, the immunity you enjoy now is about to end and you shall be made to face justice.[/s]

LIARS.
Where is the link?. What WikiLeaks?
There is no more WikiLeaks. All they publish now are disinformation stuff from FSB, sometimes even CIA.

StupidYorubaFool:
resting in peace for the million souls that was killed by him??

As for Awo i have nothing in common with him. I'm not an afonja..
And my last advice for you.. Try and change the f gender in your profile to 'M' cos it's obvious you're a male

StupidYorubaFool:
don't worry guys....
Keep wailing...
Buratai has been given the prerogative to relegate you to your position...
Continue with your agitation this year and myriads of Ipobians including you all will meet with Ojucrook in the world beyond.
When operation python dance swings on you help me say hello to Ojukwu down there..

Gullible and dociled kanu zombies

StupidYorubaFool:
[s]Let me clearly state that the igbos shouldn't integrate the South South zone to their biafran agitation...
If these set of clowns think they have been marginalized should settle their case with FG and engage on a peaceful negotiation or call for a referendum so as to ascertain the voice of the Easterners as concerning their independence and sovereignty....

But what really irritates me is how the igbos think AKWA IBOM STATE, cross river state, Edo state and bayelsa should be an integral part of their agenda when these aforementioned states are south south region and obviously has nothing to share in common with those in the South East....

I well have a clue that there are some igbos speaking parts in rivers state and delta state but For God's sake you guys should just vie for your independence alone and stop categorizing South South States into your mess....


For Biafra to become a fully recognized state it must possess sovereignty, must be internationally recognized by the United Nations, must have a currency and also trade relationships with it's neighbors as part of the criterion and prerequisites towards achieving full sovereignty.

If FG were to grant Igbos their biafran nation, igbos would suffer, I repeat igbos would suffer.. .

So my fellow Nigerians what we need isn't secession, we need true federalism devoid of nepotism and marginalization, there must be strict adherence to federal characters and true fiscal allocations to each state without preference...


I rest my case

depressed, despondent, denigrated and devastated

Happy New Year!

Mikel has moved to a country where we won't watch him play again. What is my own sef? When we were watching him, he was not playing but sitting on the bench.

Jarus:
SR is hitting Buhari now, I didn't hear from Wailers that SR is sponsored by APC to finish their son, Jonathan.

Meanwhile, I think it's time Buhari removes Lawal and Abba Kyari. Too many allegations against them.

luvinhubby:
Buhari is fake and a fraud.

Quote me.

obontami:
Buhari surely won't go unpunished. What a heartless man!!!

LLSAINT:
I think Dr. Fayemi has lost touch with his Ministry. He should be focused and stop interfering or better still, inform PMB to redeploy him to Foreign Affairs .

Sealeddeal:
Obiano cannot rule Anambra state forever. He is not the only person in Anambra state that can ensure security the people. Ifeanyi Ubah has more knowledge in job provision than Obiano and Job is among the basic way to reduce crime.
