Why is he complaining? He wanted to take his life which to me is the very lowest point, so even he's being fed half cooked beans with stones and sand in prison, it's still better than commiting suicide.

To be honest, Nigeria is really a shithole and I'm sorry but you sound stupid but anyway, an apple cannot fail far from its tree. Instead of taking a mentally depressed man to the doctor they put him in jail and you are agreeing with a wrong and barbaric policy.

ChimaAgbalajob:
It doesn't! We should STOP applauding mediocre leadership in Igboland and Nigeria! Building roads just as every other governor does is not exactly sort of stuff i'd be clapping for. It is shocking that except Enugu, any typical Igbo city resembles Agadez or Sirte in Libya where there are no trees or vegetation cover along their roads. Yet, Igboland is in a rain-forest belt and not a desert! WHY??

Every other African city in the same belt takes advantage of the rain-forest belt to ensure the city has adequate vegetation cover and ambiance. If Rochas planted trees and completely changed the ambiance of the city, then his effort would undoubtedly be commendable.

Until we have folks who believe in transforming Nigeria from perpetually looking like a 3rd world dungeon into the standard seen in those foreign countries where they visit, i'm not impressed with mere tarring of streets.

Tell them, my brother.

Nice! Until he goes to the US and clears his name, we can't have a man with such moral burden as our next president! We have not become that choiceless

Why will he come to the US to clear his name as you want him, If I may ask when will you call on Vice President Dick Cheney to come to Nigeria to also clear his name? What is this obsession with coming to America?

I advise you to go to a hospital for a proper test, with the symptoms you are experiencing, it may be diabetes, kidney, heart, please stop all the questions and go for proper check life have no duplicate.

Oga na dere moni.. U colet money u no colet Money Nigeria is automatically programmed to av a failed leader...

How can Nigeria reach the promised land, when she is filled with citizens with low IQ, how can someone think he/she can continue doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

martineverest:
the fact that they haven't commissioned it doesn't .ran it's not completed...are the ogwaskiukwu people now contractors?

they are obviously okonjo iweala s apologists

Please, do you comprehend at all? Please go and watch the video again and if you can also watch the budget presentation of the president where he mentioned that project as a completed. No one needs to be a contractor to know when a project is completed. Why are some Nigerians lying to themselves in the name of politics? The president would have said 80% or 90% complete but for him to outright lied to Nigerians is worrisome and it is the evidence that the people Mr. President entrusted with duties are truly lying to him.

Arabiandude:
Seriously I feel Buhari has been too soft on these people, I mean PDP leaders at the National Assembly and their members and sympathisers Nationwide. Use the military to arrest and court martial Saraki, Dogara and PDP hierarchy and sentence them to death and nothing will happen because these people are fast becoming nuisance to the society and enemies to Nigeria development.

God and Osusumaye will join hands and punish anybody that quote's me and type rubbish

This is one of the projects Mr president mentioned in his budget proposal that he completed The Ogwash-Uku Dam Project

Oga he is arrogant, u don't do campaign by insulting people who are old enough to be ur grandpas.
This is a presidential depend not some gathering of touts for throwing tantrums
Have u ever listened to him talking?
He lacks manners and composure
No sane person will vote such a man a president else he will embarrass us outside by insulting other presidents

With all the manners and composure you think other candidates have, what have they done with it. Nigeria is still a backward country, believe me, if half of the Nigerian population can think and behave like Sowore Nigeria will be a better country. No more Mr. nice guy he says the truth the way he sees it that doesn't make him arrogant.

Handsomecole:
Sowore needs to understand that purchasing of form is not an automatic ticket to be part of the Presidential debate . Asides Social Media he's candidature is at the lowest ebb including his political party .

Asides that I have seen activists that are cultured and well mannerd in their approach as for Sowore he is ill mannerd in his apporach in addressing issues .

Whether you think Sowore is ill-mannered because he makes his statements as he sees it, I may disagree with you about him being Ill-mannered, but my question is what have those you think are well mannered done for Nigeria because I'm still waiting for the El Dorado Nigeria has been ruled by well mannered as you want them to be. For us to continue doing the same things the same way and expecting a different result that can never happen.

JasonScoolari:
I am not against their protest or their agitations, what I am against is trying to disenfranchise others who are willing to exercise their civic responsibilities by telling them to boycott the general elections next year.


Do your protest, but kindly do that with sense.

You said you are not against their protest or their agitations that is good and well, but please can you tell me what kind of sense will be the right sense to convince their fellow Biafrans to join them in their quest. They are not violent, the same way APC/PDP or any other party in Nigeria can go out there to convince the citizens to vote for them is what IPOB is also doing. No political party in Nigeria are out there putting guns on people's head to vote for them, it is a matter of convincing the voters to vote for them likewise IPOB. They are out there conversing not to vote if they can get a convert, oh well that is not in anyway disfranchising anyone.

stephanie11:

The vice-presidential debate will hold from 7pm at the congress hall of the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja on Friday, December 14, 2018, while the presidential debate is scheduled to hold on Saturday, January 19, 2019.

https://politicsngr.com/breaking-bon-nedg-pick-5-political-parties-debate-full-list/

BON must explain to Nigerians the criteria they used in selecting the five political parties that will participate in the debate. (BON) is a broad coalition of public and private broadcasters and as such should be inclusive, If they don't, let the excluded parties come together and go to court to stop the debate ...

I commend him for initiating the project but hopefully, it will not be like any other mediocre projects that litter across our state. I believe in quality than quantity.

Babygal2020:
Good morning fellow Nairalanders....
I started experiencing frequent urination while in secondary school( I'm now a University graduate)
I have done FBS: 79 mg/dl
I have the feeling to urinate after every one hour but I can delay to pee if I want
I don't experience painful urination
This frequent urination occurs during the day( I wake up just once at night to pee)
I'm not sexually-active
I'm 25 years old
Please what else should I do?
Please moderators, help me move this to front-page

My advice, go immediately to a doctor for blood sugar test this is a sign of diabetes or Urinary Tract Infection.

You go and see a doctor immediately for a test, that looks like you have developed (shingles)
Shingle is a viral infection that causes a painful rash

OMANBALA1:
The amount Anambra generate in IGR is unbelievably poor and embarrassing. It's either the state is not as viable as we tend to believe , people are getting away without paying taxes nor something is wrong with our arithmetic. I believe the second is likely the case. If not, tell me how a state as industrialized as Anambra is competing for place with Cross River and co. Obiano is beginning to look like a failure.

The problem is not only in Anambra but all Southeast, and believe me Southeast is as viable as SS or even more, It is just our visionless leaders who don't think outside box. Imagine if they can implement an effective properties tax collection system statewide, when I said statewide, including the villages. If they can collect between #100 to #5000 every month from all the houses that scattered all over our towns and villages in Igbo land and up the tax collection in other areas to at least 60% believe me Abuja money will be the money for the rainy days.

sunnymix:
I Love this guy,but he should have contested for senate or house of reps to amass more supporters from the grassroots then he will contest for pres. 2023.

Why do Nigerians think this way, is it low self-esteem, is it low IQ or is it lack of ambition. Sometimes I ask myself is big aspirations dead in our society.

SolutionMee:


That's why we recruited you. We gave you a job so that we can monetize you. People serve their country here in America too. I haven't seen any soldier lamenting like this before.

Which chapter is this written in your book of lamentation?

Unprofessional army.

You are so stupid to vomit the nonsense why not send your relatives or yourself Mr. professional.

Our people need to start thinking outside the box, there is solar which can be used in powering the elevator and water pump.

AmericanQuarter:
As the dry season sets in, reconstruction of inner streets of Fegge: Palmer, Williams & Obosi streets all in Fegge undergoing reconstruction. Many more inner streets are under reconstruction in and around Fegge, Awada, Nkpor, all in Onitsha metropolis

I wish they will use the opportunity to remove all the shanties and cover the open drainage with sidewalks and plant trees and flowers.

Daviddson:
As it stands now, any vote for Sowore is a protest vote and do not count. The same goes for Mrs Oby, Duke, and Fela.
If Trump had decided to contest under a mushroom party, he would never have won. He needed a big platform to sell his manifesto and the rest they say, is now a beautiful history!

If it was possible that all these achievers had formed a coalition with PDP and one of them was able to grab the ticket, they'll have given Buhari a run for his money.
Mr man, who are you fighting with? Communicate your opinion in a civil manner pls.

For your information, America has more than 30 national political parties, aside regional or state-wide parties. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_the_United_States

Thinking of this nature is why Nigeria progress will never be achieved, this also why Nigeria will continue recycling failed politicians. PDP and APC was Nigerians creation and as such have an ample opportunity to create another if majority like you will think differently.

Georgry:
Why can't we campaign for and/or vote into power one of these younger minds?

Because Nigeria is full of educated illiterates, unproductive citizens, consumers, intellectual lazy buffoons, low IQ, and unenlightened citizens who are in love with their oppressors.

ChimaAdeoye:
Sometimes i wonder if contractors intentionally build unnecessarily huge structures just to increase the size of the contract.

Going by the size of that stream, such a mega structure with huge pillars are clearly unnecessary and will drastically increase the cost of the project. A solid box culvert is all that is required to bridge that stream if Nigeria were a normal society where people did the right things instead of what will make them milk the society unnecessarily.

I understand you 100% but sometimes the reasons are much the soil type, look Alaigbo is prone to erosion I'm sure they did a comprehensive study before they award the contract.

CilicMarin:
This your position is not tenable in Law.. Court of Law doesn't entertain emotional tantrums.

To say that violating someone fundamental right to life is not tenable in law, its only Nigeria. Ignorance playing its ugly head, there is what is called (force majeure) in contract, so because Kanu was on bail he has no right to life.

Nkume is my hometown where I was born and where grew up before I left Nigeria for the US the story hit home to me and Atta is our next door neighbor and for a fool like you to find joy in other people's pain and misfortune thinking you are immune think twice and stop displaying your bad upbringing.

NwaAmaikpe:



This is so sad.
So Goodluck Jonathan did not consider these ones before he timidly threw in the throwel.

And some misfits dare refer to him as a hero of democracy.
Shame on you GEJ.

Other dimwits will now blame Buhari for this people's misfortune.
It is right of Buhari for not interceding. PRESSID was a GEJ initiative.

These stranded scholarship recipients should channel their complaints to GEJ who is morally obligated to ensure their total welfare.
This is not about PDP or APC, it is about being responsible.

Really are you stupid or just pretending to be ignorant.

sarrki:
You lack sense of reasoning

You lack decorum

Show me where I have ever supported such

Sarrki or whatever you call yourself do you have job? I advice you to go and get a life or you will surely suffer heart attack. The issue of IPOB have really become nightmare for you or may I say stupid. Your stupidity is out of this world.

Opinionated:
By Abdulkabir Olatunji

President Muhammadu Buhari complained recently about the way he believes the Nigerian media has refused to publicise his achievements and by extension that of his government. Speaking to young political appointees in his government at a meeting with them on Wednesday in Abuja, the president expressed his dissatisfaction: ” “I’m very disappointed in the Nigerian press. They didn’t give this government the credit of the ‘Go back to the land’ programme. We have cut down the importation of rice by at least 90 per cent,” he said.

There has been a mixed reaction to this with some people saying his media aides have not done enough in the area of publicizing government programmes while others believe it is just the case of a failing president giving excuses for his failure.

However, I have another perspective on this issue which is that while the majority of the media might not be deliberately going out of its way to hide the Buhari government’s achievements, there are some underlying reasons why progress being made might be under-reported.

First, the prevalence of social media means that journalists are not immune from messages that become viral or popular. Going by patterns in the last 3 years of the Buhari administration, it is obvious that the opposition has a louder voice than the government or its supporters on social media. Hence, at least, until very recently, the messages on social media were largely anti-Buhari with the opposition, its supoorters and sympathizers making every effort to downplay the government’s achievements. Such people would argue for example that N-power is not a viable programme even when evidence suggests the opposite, the same with the government’s school feeding programme that is beginning to gain international attention. In terms of project delivery and initiation of new ones that can really drive economic growth and development like the railways and investments in electricity, there is the same tendency for the opposition inspired social media chorus to insist progress is not being made. Now, if a journalist gets immersed in all of this negativity, they may begin to subconsciously suppress the positives of this government and amplify what the opposition considers the negatives. For example, a lot of the reportage on the killings in Benue state and other states in the middle-belt has been rather unprofessional and problematic if one wants to be brutally honest. Killings in Zamfara state and the state of insecurity which was probably worse around the same time went largely underreported. A case of similar situations, different reactions by the media. Perhaps, because the Benue state situation falls into a prevailing narrative and the Zamfara situation does not.

A second reason that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government might be finding it difficult to get proper reportage on its efforts and achievements in moving Nigeria forward is the fact that a certain part of the media that has become influential especially on the Internet has defined itself by focusing on what is wrong rather than what is going right for Nigeria. Therefore, a check on the headlines promoted by some of the most popular online media in Nigeria will show that stories of scandals and misdemeanour by government officials are actively promoted rather than developmental news. The public that has been nourished on drama over the years demands no less.

Members of the media respond to this criticism by claiming they are only reporting what happens — a fair submission on the surface. However, closer scrutiny shows that the media rarely publishes negative news about itself. So, we do not read stories about how journalists collect and sometimes demand gratification when they are sent to cover events in the corporate world and government itself. One might be tempted to think that journalists have a higher moral consciousness than the rest of society, we rarely read about journalists committing crimes or being involved in scandals. Does this mean they are more disciplined than the rest of society? I opine that this is not quite so, a young journalist told me with a sentiment akin to despair recently that leading media personalities insist on molesting and abusing young women seeking to be trained or start work in the industry. How many media houses have reported this in Nigeria? Almost none.

Then there is the corruption by journalists who are available for a fee to either promote certain causes or kill certain stories. Information and misinformation has become a tradable commodity for this set of journalists and they are plenty in Nigeria.

This article is not meant to suggest that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari is without its problems and blemishes — far from it. It has not always provided factual information in a suitable and timely manner. It has not done enough to engage the social consciousness of Nigerians towards responsible use and sharing of information and of course, people have a right to criticize many of its policies either because they might be bad or could be better.

Ultimately, the government and the media can do better to ensure that the news we get as Nigerians is factual and not contrived to achieve certain objectives that might not be in our collective interest as a people. The media needs to also play its part in nation building and this is not synonymous with negative news by default. There is room for criticism but there should also be equal room for reporting progress and positive ideals.

Source: Is President Buhari Right About the Nigerian Media?

The president is complaining about the media not reporting his achievement please can anyone tell Nigerians when was the last time Buhari called for a press conference to answer questions from Nigerians. Mr. President, 3 years have gone by with your blame game, is it not time you take responsibility for once and stop the blame game. Mr. President or may I say Mr. Integrity just remember that when you point finger the rest of your finger is pointing back at you.
