When our senators and representatives slash their salaries by 50%, then we know they are serious, otherwise they should STFU

How about their efffingg salaries and multi billion naira allowances?

Where is my koboko?

First, we are supposed to be buying petrol from Niger, and now we send our crude oil to CIV, and now Ghana will be selling us electricity. Yeparipa, we don suffer O!!!!!

Let BH try that shit in Lagos, they will see pepper!!!

He should leave Politics all together

Buhari/Idiagbon

First and foremost, Nigeria is ruled by Oligarchs, and it in the atmosphere of confusion and bad governance that they make their money.  If everything is running the way it should, there will be no money for them. 
Follow up to that is that power in Nigeria is disseminated to the masses, so there is no way for them to have their voices heard.  Again, power is held by Oligarch (ruling class), and they buy the votes, or decide on whom they want to be in power. 
Finally, international special interest groups from countries to cartels can and do influence the oligarchs through bribery, blackmail to do their bidding.  Why dont we have power?  Well, if we had constant electricity supply, what would happen to the people in the generator business?

My fix to address this problem is to empower the working people, focus on education, and do a better job of inculcating the ruling class.

Two instances that I will point out are the Murtala regime, and Buhari/Idiagbon. These were two leaders who were non compliant, and hell bent on achieving their political/nationalistic goals, hence they were overthrown by outside forces allied with the Oligarchs. Unfortunately, at the present and for the last umpteen years, Nigerian leaders tend to do a lot of mago mago, wuruwuru to get into power, therefore, they are very blackmailable, and have to cut their lackeys and political godfathers a piece of the action. It prevents them from being incorruptable.

Money, or more specifically, Oil!

Idiagbon for me!

Tell him to STFU, all they have ever done is loot the treasury.

Compared to Babangida, Buhari is a saint. Whatever claims Babangida put forth as reasons for deposing Buhari, he was guilty of the same crimes by a 100 fold.

Africa has been the world's dump ground, and looting ground for raw materials and other natural resources.

We need to chill and sit our asses down.

As soon as you start counting the herds of cattle, goats and sheeps, then all the illegal Chadians and citizens from Niger, then only then will Kano have more people than Lagos. Oloshis, who they take us for?

While there are certain positive traits that Buhari possess, by the statements attributed to him about wanting to make Nigeria a Sharia state, he can never be allowed to be in a position of president again.

I can see Okonjo being the first female president.

Was he doing the Asamoah Gyan dance?

What do they do with the money sha?

Didnt know Azikiwe was one of his names.

Nothing will happen!!!

Yes, we need an incorrupted leader, and it is not Shekarau

Even the North Korea coach was getting more money, what a fucking joke. Siasia should double his salary demands, to show everyone how silly the NFF is. We all know that if he gets all the support he needs, he is going to produce a team all of Africa and Nigerians would be proud of.

I dont think 25 states are enough, we need at least another 50 more,

What do you expect? We have democrazy for sure!!!

What is the big deal? They are going to school, which is more important than whether they arrive in private cars, by foot, or canoe.

Tell IBB to STFU

I think these reps all mayke more than the President of the United States, ye paripa
