mega party should please hurry up
we need them

obi go and give the people local goverment elections

where is mutiu adepoju??

all4naija: I don't know what's the problem with the power-hungry North. These people are somewhat barbaric to me,seriously! Is it a must Northerner must be the next president? Haven't they been in that position for long? JEEZ!!!

arewa is not north,is like you call ohaneze head of eastern people,this groups have lost the vote of the people long ago,they are alone on their own.they just have noise makes

aribisala0: They have no reason to fear they have 19 states and are in a position to deny him we must not forget that if a first round vote results in a stalemate a simple majority decides. The North hold the knife and the Yam and in this government GEJ has given them two fingers showing a lot of disrespect. He will soon find out that our Northern PARTNERS NEVER forgive.The next presidential election will be purely a "tribal" affair

i voted him to office but im not happy in his first 2years, and if he continues like this,im in not going to vote for him again, my family and friends as well.but if the north want to chase him just for power sack,then i feel they are making a very big mistake.because what we need in nigeria is not tribal politics, is good governance thats all.please tellme 4things gej has done wrong to the north??

ilugunboy: *chase away* is wrong choice of words.

Northerners should not be seen to be overtly ganging up against GEJ and desperate to gain power or else it would backfire.

nice one, and backfire very badly

give me health, and money for my political ambicion to free the black race
from political wickedness

obj inspires as aleader than gej,you may have diffrences with his leadership syle,but you always know were he is leading to.
jonathan please we want to know were we are going as a country,two years to go

musiwa10: i think the main reason is that your leaders in nigeria, are not expose people.. you cant give what you dont know.. look what did nigeria expected from goodluck. you get what you put in.. it is like computer. garbage in, garbage out.. this is how leadership is.. so dont expect much from goodluck. why this all this houses burn down at jankara because govt did not know what to do, this is the honest truth.. when you look at goodluck ministers. and you listen to them.. iweala is one of them claim live abroad. but listen to her or others.. she and others speak like people who have never lived abroad before.. her igbo is so thin.. like the woman in Osisi village in mbise local govt of obodo in imo state. stop laughing.. it was a joke, she as alway been my best joke.


it tell you, she also is not expose.. i have alway believe she never lived abroad. may be she use to visit abroad.. for 5 years she could not transform nigeria economy.. that tell you she does not know much..

it is like computer. garbage in, garbage out.. what i think is for the next generation , there is a need to expose nigerian.. look i will surpass all what fashola or goodluck did in 5 years in 1 years.. because i dont need to set up committee upon committee.. i have already been through the system.


I already know what to do.. i will not be asking anyone any nonsense what to do.. because i have seen the solution.. Seen the solution is different from guessing the solution. what goodluck is doing is try and error.. this is why there is a need to expose young nigerian


And another issue is,, it most be made compulsory that anyone running for any elected position most have at lease 5 A's from high school.. what you people call secondary school. it most be in the constitution. this way.. you have only the best your country can produce in power.. you can not continue to put f9, c6,c5, p7, p8 in power and expect to do well.. they dont have a brain, i may sound rude, but i am been honest.

if i wanna do something, the way i will do it, will be different from Goodluck or fashola.. you will notice, i never call him Jonathan.. I never do.. because we dont call people by their lastname , but their first name.. sorry, i am talking to nigerian.. what i mean surname..

you basically are putting in bullshiit in and you are getting bullshiit out. there is a need to expose young nigerian.. i sound rude. sorry, just speaking the truth.

read your post again,you don´t make sense at all

REVOLUTNIS: The governor is the chief security officer of the state and its his duty to enhance, provide and better and efficient vehicles for security operatives in state for easy movement into rural areas of the state where criminals and hoodlums might be hiding. he is not the first governor that is doing it. beside, a security conscious governor would not wait for whatever is mark out in the budget for security b4 securing the state which is under his watch. It is another way of utilizing the 6billion he collects as monthly security vote. We should not be complaining and seeing only the negative in our leaders.

does it mean that, if every governor is doing it, obi should do the same??i tire for nigerians ooo
help police not military,they have nothing to do with our security in the east.

tell obi to run local government election
enough is enough
too much greed

will they listen??nooo

musiwa10: you see, what is best for the people of nigeria is to break up nigeria.. i am telling you the truth.. most people who are advocate of one nigeria are uneducated who are not expose.. they are old school..


look i will say, i am more exposed than goodluck jonathan or even any of the governors.. because i have lived abroad for many years.. i am not been proud but telling you the truth. so that nigerian can live better life..

You see human have one life to live, and in this one life. you want to live it well. because you have no other life.. you want to look back and say I enjoy my life..

nation with large population suffering is higher, because it is hard to manage nation with large population..



you want people in your nation to live good, not just few people.. nation with higher people majority live in poverty.

You see nigeria will borrow the same amount or close to the same live nation like Ghana..

Even while nigeria have 200 million.. Only 11 players can play in the nation team.. while Ghana with 20 million .. only 11 people too.. can play..

So what it means is that we denied.. 33 people who were suppose to be in the nation team if we break it up to like say 3 even higher than ghana..


what I am trying to say.. Is that we denied people the right to better opportunity to keep Nigeria as one.. You denied them good housing, health care etc for keeping nigeria as one..

Nigeria been one nation has no advantage.. Nigeria been broken up have more advantage to its citizen and better opportunity to its citizen..


like take the western niger for example.. with a population of over 6o million or 70 million. about the population of germany, but germany is ranked number 6 th in the world in gdp..

thank you with your exposure,so living abroad is exposure??our problem is law and order.you are talking about germany with out proper information,germans from munich don´t like others as well,they want their own country
is every were not only nigerian problem

verysoon them go say na oyibo bi our problem

fools

samkoro: Perfect answer
Perfect answer

You see.This is the kind of truthfull answer that makes us shy and angry.It is the truth.There are many brilliant citizens in this country,but the majority are ignorant,arrogant, proud ,jelous,not cool and creative.That's why the average measurement of brilliance by way of IQ falls far below what obtains in advanced countries.

That is why envy and jelousy would not allow the electorate to project inteligent people to leadership position irrespective of where they come from.

An average Nigeria is so immersed in trivialities of life.No sincere collective effort to solve her problem.

Most importantly,the solution to our under developement is to first solve the problem of ethnicity.Let's stop pretending ethnic bigotery in Nigeria is more serious than the U.S and Soviete cold war.We are living lies in Nigeria and hating with bitter hearts behind smilling faces.Once ethnic trust is restored,then Nigeria has gotten a concrete platform to manifest any ideal vision she has. With ehnic and religous bigotery in existence,just forget about developement- it all like building mighty and fantastic mansion on a sinking sand or ice pillars.

on point

azimibraun: Naija looks likes its a kinda cursed 2 me...

no juju here,its our leaders/rulers, too much of corruption

2legit2qwt: Bullsh1t!! straight up bullsh1t. I didn't wanna make a comment but this argument drives me nuts. I think the op should include the attitude of blaming others instead of taking responsibilities for our actions. We always wanna take the easy way out which is to blame others for our failures. I have heard this all my life, it's so damn irritating to my ears now.

thank you
atleast some people get brain for our naija,there is hope, reading from what you said

k2039: [color=soyouquotedme]Unfortunately, I'm guilty of none [/color]Hard to believe I guess.

are you a product of our nigerian system?then its hard to believe

THE society is a reflection of the aggregate of values and priorities of its members. There are few things around us, both good and bad, that did not originate as a ‘thought’ in the mind of an individual or group of individuals. Consequently, if some societies are ordered and relatively more qualitative while others are in disarray, this is a direct result of the (in)actions of the inhabitants of these societies.
If you are an African, ask yourself these simple questions, and the reason for the dire circumstance of the mother continent will come home to you. Have you ever,

1. Entered a packed banking hall and instead of joining the queue, sought out the ‘sister of your friend’s cousin’ who happens to work somewhere in the building, in order to circumvent the queue and in the process increase the misery of those doing it the right way by prolonging their waiting times
2. Driven against the flow of traffic simply because it looks expedient at the time
3. Given money to the ubiquitous civil servant to ensure that your document gets signed on the same day, when the standard procedure is to wait for two weeks
4. Induced a police officer to look the other way because your car papers are not in order and you are too sloppy to attend to it
5. Manipulated the system to obtain admission for your ward, knowing full well that s/he did not merit such consideration, and in so doing deprive a better qualified candidate the opportunity
6. Known a friend/family member living ostensibly above their means and legitimate income and rather than question the anomaly, asked for your share of the unexplained windfall
7. Voted for someone simply because s/he is from your geographical region, religion, speaks the same language and other such spurious reasons, rather than the merit and fitness of the person
8. Heaped curses and abuses on your Local Government Chairperson, governor and president, and on that single occasion you had audience with the idiot, became a wimp and instead spewed false adulations on him, calling him ‘the best thing since sliced bread....’
9. Evaded tax and duties, and then went ahead to bribe the Revenue Officer to issue you a fraudulent Tax Clearance Certificate
10. Obtained a drivers licence without actually being to a testing ground and passing the prescribed practice test
11. Paid less to clear your goods at the port
12. When caught-out one way or the other, is your disposition to take full responsibility for your actions or to immediately start thinking/looking for who can/will bail you out/shield you from the natural consequence of your actions
13. Turned-up late for work and blamed a non-existent traffic congestion
14. Are you the ultimate custodian of the ‘African Time’, always late for appointments
15. Do you live only to enjoy the titillations of your five senses, no matter the negative effect of your ‘enjoyment’ on others and society
16. Are you an academic but have not contributed anything to the body-stock of knowledge; your specialization is indolence and college politics
17. Taken money to vote in a particular way instead of voting your conscience
18. Covered the truth, thwarted the truth or hinder the arbiter of the truth for your own selfish/sinister motives
19. Held others to a higher ‘code of conduct’ than you demand of yourself
20. Taken money or other valuables under false pretences and justified it on the grounds of ‘this is the way it is done here...’
21. Having done the above, did you then enter the church/mosque or other religious congregation and gave testimonies of ‘God’s (or Allah’s) goodness’
22. Are you an integral part of your society’s problem and you do not even realise it
If ever, you answered ‘yes’ to many of the preceding posers, you have no ground to stand on and criticize your representatives; they after all represent what you stand for, your modus operandi, your values and your reward systems. The (wo)man to criticize and change is the one looking back at you in the mirror

Billyonaire: So people can take a personal opinion of a radical warlord seriously ? His opinion is not even sensible. He is advising a sitting President to reconcile with an ex-President who wants to still run Aso Rock from Otta Farm the same way he wanted to run Aso Rock when Yaradua was President, there is something about this OBJ quest for daily relevance in politics that makes him more corrupt than IBB and Abdulsalam together. Asari is really feeling sad that Tompolo got the Security contract and not him, the grand freedom fighter. Thats the fcking truth.

is there any truth in what asari is say??please try to be objective

alabiyemmy: I dont think any school system in the world teaches innovation or creativeness. Ask Bill Gates, ask the guys at Google or even ask Mark himself.

How can any Nigerian youth be innovative when an average youth believes he cant do anything worthwhile with himself unless he travels abroad, or unless he has someone in high places. with such minds, how can they be innovative or creative?

However, it is wrong on the part of the writer to conclude that no Nigerian youth can be a millionaire at the age of 24 legitimately - such conclusions further brings down the psyche of the youth when they are being told by those who should know better that they cant succeed.

Most will blame it on leadership - but then, is it the government that will make you broaden your mind to see endless possibilities laid before you? I like the writer to read books on success and succeeding in life. It has nothing to do with age but on how you are able to use your mind.
big grammer for nothing

With such assumptions above, an average youth is already consigned to a never do well thought process. Guys, you can make it if you want.

have you read the op well??books will help you in a normal society,what the op is saying is that,our political elites destroy the system.making it had for the youths,no amount of books you will read will save you in a country were banks doñt give loans or if they do,its at 25% and only to their friends,now tellme how to start??please we need help from our politicians.thats the answer

ogb5: this type of ideology is why people should avoid taking money from any Nigerian.

you gave someone you call a friend money. you couldn't reach him again so you concluded he duped you. do you know if he ran into other difficulties?

the next time you see him and he is not with your millions on the spot you will kill him.

the dud might be dead, he might be in jail, he might be in coma, he might have honestly lost your money and does not have it and does not know how to face you. these options did not cross your mind. you concluded he duped you. and should die.

why not send message to him??or even phone him

nne3870: I thought you were intelligent!!!

Sanusi is only a hypocrite who has nothing to offer to the economy has well.what has he really achieved as the cbn governor?
He inflicts more pain on the society with his policies more than he claims the FG is doing.
Ru.bbish. Pot calling kettle black

when are you people going to learn??the man has seen his mistake on the subsidy issue and he is trying to make sure he correct his mistake.

nigerians always killing the messenger

please i will like somebody out of religi,ous thinking,to explain to me, why do we africans soo much hate GAYS than our corrupt politicians??because to me, GAYS are only been judged by their sexual orientation,and not giving the chance to prove who they are OUT OF SEX,but we have corrupt politicians, who have destroyed our futureS and we don´t even hate them 30% to what we hate GAYS IN AFRICA. IM NOT A GAY IS JUST MY OPINION.

SLS gaining me back to like him,if he continues like this,than he will get the nigerians back to his side

N14 billion is too much for construction of VP’s residence – Senate
Share This
Tags The Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory on Thursday opposed the release of additional N9 billion for Vice President Namadi Sambo’s official residence now under construction.

The Chairman of the Committee, Smart Adeyemi, who spoke while on oversight visit to the site of the project said such a huge sum was uncalled for especially at a time when most Nigerians cannot afford three square meals.

“The National Assembly is not going to appropriate additional N9 billion for the project especially at a period in this country where people cannot get three square meal,” He said.

The Senator insisted that “the N9 billion is far more than the original cost of the project.”

The Executive Secretary of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), Adamu Ismail had told the lawmakers that the project was awarded in 2009 at the cost of N7billion.

He added that the additional N9 billion was needed to provide furniture, fencing, two additional protocol guest houses, a banquet hall and other security gadgets.

Mr Ismail said the new proposal was not included in the original scope of work being handled by Julius Berger Nigeria Limited.

The Vice Chairman of the Committee, Domingo Obende, however asked the Executive Secretary to submit the additional scope of work for which the fund is required to the committee for proper scrutiny.

Mr Ismail told the lawmakers that the proposed N9 billion has been slashed to about N6 billion by the Bureau for Public Procurement (BPP).

He said: “We have worked out the details and passed to BPP for consideration.

“They (BPP) have sent it back to us with their observation.

“We requested for N9 billion but now it came to about N6 billion.”

Mr Adeyemi said the N14 billion is indefensible in view of present realities.

He said: “Now you are asking us to approve a total sum of about N14 billion and this is just the Vice President’s residence.

“N14 billion to me is huge for the Vice President’s house.

“If you are talking of N10 billion that would be understandable.

“The reality is that N14 billion is indefensible and that is our submission.

“In Nigeria there are still many people with empty stomach.

“So we have to look at budgeting in relation to the needs of the people

yuzedo: Yeah, that's the only place i've ever faulted his stance. And it is unfortunate that our most trusted public servants (Fashola, Oshiomhole, and co) were also agitating for the subsidy removal at that time without PROPERLY laying down the terms/blueprint. Was disappointing.

But honestly? SLS is presidential material anyday! He's too damn intelligent and honest, with balls of steel necessary to take tough decisions and a cosmopolitan, relatively detribalized personality. Fashola + SLS in 2015? Naija don wake up be dat, forget Muslim/Muslim situation, tell me you wont vote that ticket.
Make Ibos go siddon for now, we never arrange our home! (yes, i said it, abum nwa-nri)

my brother i like your idea,but SLS must learn the political change of the new nigeria.for fashola,he is a good governor,but needs to change his capitalist ways of doing things,nigeria is not only for rich people alone
