EasternLion:
Kindly answer this question.

@VVduke14 is a 1billion% Igbo man.

This is just further proof that most blacks are not in tune with modern standards of governance, and thus do not know how to govern themselves.

nationwide1:
It now seems the mouth action slogan for this government is true.


Everyone is supporting the fight against corruption but don't leave out Tinubu, Kwankwazo, Fashola, Atiku, Obasanjo, Fayemi, Aregbesola, Amaechi. Empirical evidences are there.

If they violated Federal law then the Federal Govt will prosecute them, but if they committed the offense in their state then the responsibility of upholding the law now becomes that of their respective state Governments.

Why is that so hard for you guys to understand?

DeRoyalFranco:
There is something i dont understand.. Is Jonathan the only ex president in Nigeria? Now i see APC isnt having problem with PDP itself.. Seems their problem is to useless Jonathan's regime.. Or someone should tell me why a former president who spent 8years controlling Nigeria's money (Obasanjo) is walking, dancing and talking freely in the country.. Haba President Buhari this is not the change you were talking about.

You, my friend, are an idiot.

Kingso23:
The National Institute for Legislative Studies (NILS) says it is
much more expensive to maintain legislators in the U.S.
Congress and the U.K. Parliament than in Nigeria.
Its Director-General, Dr Ladi Hamalai, who
disclosed this in an interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Sunday, was
speaking against the backdrop of calls for a
massive cut in the remuneration of Nigerian
legislators.
Hamalai said most of those calling for cut in the
salaries and allowances of National Assembly
members were not informed on how much it costs
to maintain a parliament.
“If you go to the United States, United Kingdom the
salaries of legislators may not be much but the
budget of maintaining a single legislator in the US
Congress is much.
“Each legislator has a budget for maintaining the
office; each legislator is entitled to about 18 aides.
“This is apart from the many committee staff and
research staff that they have at their disposal.
“We calculated the salaries of the legislator in the
US Congress plus his personal aides; just this two
will amount to almost N254 million in a year.
“Now this is exclusive of budget for maintaining
the office. They also have claims, re-imbursables.
“You travel to do a town hall meeting – these are
eligible claims. So it is not really cheap
maintaining the congress in the U.S.
“Let’s even look at the UK Parliament. By the time
you calculate all the expenses, it will cost between
90 and 100 million naira to maintain a UK
parliamentarian.
“They have personal aides of between eight and 20
depending on the importance of the legislator.“
Hamalai allayed fears that the cost of running the
legislature in Nigeria would not have a negative
impact on the economy.
“One would say yes their GDP is much higher;
they can afford it; then our criticism should not be
that they do not deserve this amount of money
(paid to them); maybe you look at the implication
on the economy.
“Now if you even look at the wider implication on
the economy, you (will) discover that the whole
budget of the National Assembly is just three per
cent of the national budget.
“If you calculate it – you have over four trillion
naira federal budget in a year; the National
Assembly this year has 120 billion naira; this is
even less than three per cent.
“So is it the three per cent that would have so
much impact as to cause so much damage to the
national economy? I don’t think so.“
Also reacting to the calls for the country to adopt a
unicameral legislature as a way of cutting the cost
of governance, the D-G argued that that would
amount to changing the Nigeria’s system of
government.
She said that subscribing to a unicameral
legislature could weaken the principle of Separation
of Powers and make the executive arm of
government dictatorial.
“We need a system whereby we will have good
checks and balances.
“We need a strong legislature; we need a strong
judiciary in this country to make sure that
everybody does the right thing,“ she said.

This kind of imbec*ile is one of those in charge of your country?!

Nigeria has a very long way to go.

AustineE1:
I will take your questions after the other,you should be ashamed of your people,was it not your brother Obasanjo who rather than hand over to Obafemi Awolowo,decided to change goal post over night and instead handed over to your Fulani Hausa master(Shagari)through an obnoxious electoral rule.Stating 'over his dead body will Awolowo rule Nigeria'.

Secondly,Inspite of the overwhelming support for Abiola yet he choose an Hausa-Fulani muslim as his deputy in a Muslim-Muslim ticket,rather than middlebelt christian,as never have been seen in a democratic Nigeria.This propelled some christians from the East,south south and middlebelt to rather support a Bashir Tofa with a christian deputy (left with a choice of choosing btw the devil and the deep blue sea).Yet your Hausa master still imprisoned Abiola,ridiculed and made jest of him,as usual.
Finally,Okadigbo choose to be a deputy to PMB but again as a self liberated tribe which Ndigbo are,we never voted for them,unlike the 'sophisticated' perpetual servants who lined up before him because he choose a 'mere commissioner' Osibanjo as a deputy,in the worst form of master-servant relationship.

Basically, you're always on the losing team.

gaetano:
Chai!

Well, organizations now demand for social media information from employees. The trend is growing in naija.

So if applied for a position in any organization that demanded for your social media link, u bera go delete every nonsense you've posted.

What if I don't have one? What if I don't feel like giving it to you? It's your privacy, use it wisely.

SeverusSnape:
Your stench oozes from a million miles away. Which slum do you live in?

The slum called the United States. My slum has constant electricity, good roads, jobs, security, health care and education.

What does your Paradise have?

Skillbobralph:
Ask people in Rivers, Wike is working and stop the hatred.

Dualization of slaughter road already completed with bridge. So what makes u feel this is propaganda. Remove Sentiment and acknowledge the right thing.

And people are walking in the middle of the road like goats? Don't they budget money for sidewalks in your country?

Gbawe:
Job creation will be highest under Buhari. I am sure of this and will constantly study the statistics and report such impartially here. The fact is that job creation is inextricably linked to creating an environment where competition, transparency and best industry practices thrive. I think Buhari will deliver this better than any president we have had since 1999.

I wouldn't be so optimistic. I wish your country well and I know Buhari has the interest of Nigeria at heart, but Jonathan's Govt did almost irreparable damage to the economy,and considering the fact that the global economy is gradually heading for a meltdown I don't see how poorly ran 3rd world countries like Nigeria will succeed in ensuring their nations escape the impending doom.

SeverusSnape:
Sir, so far, Buhari have not lived up to expectations. Till now (almost a hundred days), The man has not declared his assets, The guy is reneging in almost all his promises.

You're not in this country, so you don't know what's going on. The APC thugs are still waiting for their 5,000 stipend.

**sigh**

I'm not used to typing long stuffs like you. But seriously, Buhari is losing it.

Your grammar is atrocious. What grade did you drop out from?

Chigold101:
National Identity Card to compliment voters card...

Nothing person no go hear from baba buhari.

Soon driver's licence will be used as travel document...

That's actually how things are done in sane countries. Govt I.D cards can be used to vote or travel within the country.

You need to step out of your hamlet more.

christinie:
Am glad that we have such elders in this country who can still voice out the mind of the masses. Buhari needs to know that Nigeria belongs to the whole Nigerians and not only to the Northerners. Thank you my elders. You have all spoken well.

The same people that ensure that, like your parents before you, life will be lived through hardship and without the basic social amenities to make your existence on earth a joyful and easy one?

You're insane.

SeverusSnape:
Asylum... You're terribly funny!

The humble man went for tourism and vacation and you're talking about asylum. Jonathan is going no where, let Bubu do his worst.

Why couldn't the tourism and vacation take place in his country? Oh, thats right, Nigeria is a shiyyythole.

Isn't this Femi Falana the hopelessly useless Govt lawyer that could not earn a single corruption win under his belt while working for the GEJ Govt as head of its Prosecution Team?

He needs to be investigated to know how shut and sealed cases were lost by him in the most infantile of ways.

I suspect someone has been collecting bribes to take dives in the Penalty box.

naijaking1:
Conjectures, hypothesis, and conspiration theories: that's all you have in order to make your illogical jump to the wrong conclusion.
Without rehearsing the already worn out theories as to why the Nigerian government stood bye when millions of innocent and unconnected Igbos were massacred by your kinsmen, you will next tell me that Igbos were singing Ewun'eba akwa song after Sarduana was killed, as a justification for the maasacre, but you know better.
Unfortunately, Ironsi, just like GEJ was oblivious of such trinalistic upside down reasoning.

You know a lot of big words, but make absolutely no sense. Reread the senseless nonsense you wrote above. Disprove my statements or keep running around in circles.

naijaking1:
Foolery or tomfoolery is when a grown up could not make sense out of present day events, such as knowing that Ironsi did not kill Balewa or Bello. It a present day event because account of the first coup that claimed these lives are all over the place, and you should have known better than muddle up historical events for your selfish conclusion.

FYI, those people were killed in a coup led by Nzeogwu. Ironsi, Ojukwu, and other senior officers arrested the coup plotters and jailed them. Ironsi died, because like GEJ, he trusted northern army officers more than his own people, or let's say he was simply naive, thinking that everybody had enough sense to be fair. Gowon was his principal secretary, with a corp of junior officers led by Danjuma as his security detail. Six months after Balewa and others died in the first coup, Ironsi's junior officers led a second coup claiming to avange the death of northerners killed by igbo officers.
Just like Ironsi, GEJ surrounded himself with northerners, from Dasuki(who later confessed to helping Buhari win), to Gusau, to IBB. Adulsalm Abubukar and his so-called peace committee forced GEJ to make the concession phone call. If GEJ had read history, he would not have been surprised at what's going on today.

Wrong! Stop rewriting history, you bloody, lying Arrow.

1. After the coup in which Igbo officers killed all the Northerners in line for the throne, the Acting President (Nwafor Orizu) refused to swear in Zanna Dipcharima as Prime Minister just because he was from the North. Instead, Orizu chose to hand over power to the military which was headed by Aguiyi Ironsi, a fellow Igbo.

2. When Ironsi took power, instead of executing the coup plotters, he flew them to the East of Nigeria where they were hidden away and kept in relative comfort.

3. The United States, and not the Abdul-Salam led committee, pressured GEJ into conceding with threats of dragging him to the ICCJ if Nigeria went up in flames.

IGBOSON1:
It's representations like this that make me hate this country! I think a decade more of this blatant cheating and there'll be no way back for these people anymore: not only will oil become less attractive and costly, but by then their reserves would have been completely raped and finished in the name of 'federal one Nigeria'!

What development have your governors in the South East brought their people, or you want to blame Hausas and Yorubas for that too?

p.s: Oil is already unattractive . And, its been so for almost 2yrs now.

omolami:
No money was looted from Nigeria, its all about Buhari and APC making NOICE so that Nigerians will think they are working. It's all about wanting to rubbish Gej's administration. It's all about victimization and vendetta, especially on campaign spoils and name calling .Its all about disgracing some few people under GEJ. Repeat, no money is missing. If missing bring it out.

Your Fathers before you died not knowing what it feels like to witness electricity 50 yrs straight without a single second of interruption, they lacked quality education, healthcare, jobs etc Basically, overall, they lived a life of chaos in a jungle like society. I know thats what you know and thats what you're used to, but, please don't let that be your lot. Theres more to life, trust me. And its way easier than the hardship which you and your likes insist on digging your future generation into.

manny4life:
U.S. of all countries doesn't know the extent of stolen funds; I thought Oshimole said U.S. has the list of all stolen funds and what not? indeed PMB is on a wild goose chase. I can only wish him good luck like I did to GEJ.

This mad man, you're still alive supporting all things evil.

atlwireles:
In other words APC conjectures have hit a deadend.

That money is expected to be used for education to train blockheads like yourself who don't see the irreparable harm looting of funds does to their already hopeless future.

"AWA OYEL, DUN' TOSH AWA OYEL!!!!"

"AWA BRODA, DUN' TOSH AWA BRODA!!!!"

Nigerians are idiots. Now the man you were defending his theft of Govt proceeds when oil was $100+/Barrel is enjoying his life with his crooked cronies, while you fools groan under the weight of poverty thats about to devour the unfortunate 97%+ that live on less than $1/day.

Airforce1:
Cool word to say to a "super sexy" girl if you ask me

Wizkid is onpoint but haters will always hate.


But this girl no get big breaast..

I like slim girls with big breaast..
They drive me crazy

She's a lesbian.

Wizkid is a dunce.

She'll probably make him sit on her ting.

rottennaija:
"ISpiksDaTroof" that the real definition of stvpidity

Sir, I was actually agreeing with you.

MzzTega:
She'll reduce,probably,it happens.

How?! Thats the lie you've been telling yourself? You better get your butt in the gym.

freeradical:
Still doesn't cut it for me. If you are gonna fight evil do it with good not with a greater evil. I'd prefer they invaded Japan and engaged d Japanese army in conventional warfare than taking this cowardly option of mass murdering innocent civilians with such a horrific weapon.

I also agree that some good came out from these bombings afterwards as every country have forcibly embraced peace out of the fear of being another Hiroshima.

Are you alright? You wanted us to send in Soldiers so that almost 500,000 Americans could lose their lives against an axis of enemies that was racing to develop Nuclear weapons themselves? What do you think they were gonna do once they developed it: Use it against us or just stare at it gleefully like a man smitten by his beautiful girlfriend?

rottennaija:
Go and learn the history very well. He was not part of the coup, he didn't upstaged anyone, he wasn't even there when it happened. The military on brought him because of his international reputation. But when he started showing them that he was against their nonsense, they brought him down

I don't know why these kids are too stu>pid to read these days.

Chiefpriest1:
Hmm. This man get liver sha! And he's still narrating the story with so much relish.

Anyway, baba overthrew somebody and somebody else upstaged him. Dog eat dog!

No hard feelings, it was the practice at the time. They should now give our democracy time to grow.

No more silly coup detats

Do you fools read or you just skim through? Didn't you see where he was insinuating that he and his gang were the ones that put Buhari in power, a statement which is consistent with what IBB, Abacha have been saying for decades?

ISpiksDaTroof:
Look at you. I never believed your likes exist. Ugly in the face and ugly in the heart. Stop being selfish and choose one thing to be ugly in.

Even at the point of death this old man couldn't refrain from telling lies.

Is this factory still functioning?

And you expect them not to be crazy? Nigerian Politicians that steal from Government coffers are cold hearted. Just look at this squalor!
