Racoon:
Going by the afore precedence, the curious questions for this APC government, CCB and the petitioners are:

-1).How did the petitioner accessed the CJN's asset declaration forms @ the CCB since only the declearer is allowed by law to order the CCB to allow public access to such info contain therein?

Just as Cambridge Syndicate replied that only Buhari have the right to authorized the release of his alleged certificate who conducted the then exam on behalf of WAEC.

-2).Is it no clear & certain that the CCB & petitioner committed a grave criminal breach of trust & thereby violate the right of privacy of the CJN by this malicious act?

-3).Why did the FG/presidency via the morally corrupt AGF bypassed the NJC protocol, does the CCT have any juridiction to trial a judicial officer without the NJC's approval? Why did the FG asked the CJN to vacate office when he have not been tried or found wanting?

Why wait till the eve of a crucial election wherein the president Is a stakeholder before this "prosecutorial misadventure" according to Mr.Femi Falana? Is the govt not obviously up to sometime sinister?

-4).Why did the corrupt & morally depraved APC-govt hasten up this show of shame with supersonic speed while the same regime have annoying footdraggged on the numerous corrupt indictment of many top & low members of it fold up till date?

The most sensational is the bias failure of the EFCC to investigate the Gov.Ganduje dollar bribe scandal? The government have simply took on more than it can contain.

Really interesting questions

Yes... It's funny how Sanwolu was speaking about restructuring and devolution of powers at the federal level when state governments have refused to grant local government autonomy.


We can't continue this system of government that centralises the affairs of a state to an office. Devolution of powers at all level is what we need. So if a bad Road exist in your ward you mobilise and march straight to the local government Chairman's office.

Queue behind him because he's Pro Mass and will build houses for the masses? More reasons why I'd be cautious voting for him because no economy can thrive on a socialist agenda. I don't need him building houses, I need him to implement economic policies that will provide access to capital, and robust income to build their own home.

Topical reaction of an Average Western Educated Person.

I guess you know more than the Chinese government that built 7.72 million units of affordable housing in 2015 to care for low income families that has been priced out of the property market or the UAE government that has pledged to spend $1.96 on building affordable housing for its citizens.

If you really understand how capitalism work you will never advocate for housing to be left to private individuals. If the Chinese government didn't build those housing and followed your line of thought to provide access to capital, less than 10% of the number won't have been achieved. The fund will be diverted to more profitable ventures since little or no profit is expected from affordable housing scheme.

And lastly, a thriving economy like America and UK where home ownership is below 65% cannot provide the template for a serious government to copy while China, Russia, India, Cuba are doing about 90%.

Ubdavis:
Can he queue behind others?

None of the aforementioned names have addressed the Nigerian problem like Sowore. Till date Kingsley is yet to come up with a minimum wage figure. Only waiting to get into office and institute an endless Committees when in fact, he should have access to every information he needs as a former deputy governor of the CBN to come up with a figure.

Yes... This is the first candidate to mention anything about Nigerian housing deficit. We are in dire need of 17 million units of housing. Everything he has said so far is Pro masses. And stressing about minimum wage means he knows his onions.

For me all the other candidates like Kingsley, Oby and co should queue behind this guy.

How hard is it to have central database for the public? I have a driver's licence and international passport and yet, I'm expected to queue up to still register for National ID card.

Really?

It's allvery well...but at the end of the day, the funding palaver is still there.

Plus.....if you increase the price of a product and you don't improve it...people will stop buying...and you lose.

See the GSM example....we all paid very high price for bad service, bad products (back in the day, you could not call between networks, etc)...but the GSM people took our money, and made things better. I think the same could happen for power supply too....

Or we keep on taking loans to add to our heavy debt burden.

Bros I understand your position. But for fairness, pay as you go should be achieved first before the increase. If not, it's going to be a total rip off. Pay as you go is the only measure that will ensure these companies improve their services, having in mind that customers will only pay for the power they consume like it's done in sane societies. Even a hut in an obscure village in Ghana has a prepaid meter.

theoldpretender:
I daresay it could have...but even if they injected the money into power...it won't improve things much.

We need far more than that. And is it only power we would spend it (mind you, I don;t agree with them spending it on tradermoni...something like that is better run by charities, and private organisations or NGO's not government)...we have railways, university education, even health that also need that money....

Like I said earlier...we need trillions of naira...N5 trillion, to fix the whole thing. And that means bills have to go up, we take loans greater than 400million USD to improve stuff...and government agencies, and most people have to pay their bills.....

Power needs money for fixing...and since it has been mostly privatized (which is why Fashola is running three ministries combined...power no longer has much to do now that DISCOS and GENCOS are around)..the money is coming from our pockets...hence the complaint I have about people and govt agencies not paying their bills.

(Even when govt ran the thing, as NEPA, many people too did not pay their bills as well).

Bros if we are to go by your logic then the masses should be made shareholders. It's never been heard of that a business man will force out money from customers to improve their product. A business man should go out there and raise money to improve their products. The implications of increasing bills before any improvement will be nothing but a rip off.

If I have a product that is not so good... Yet I manage to increase the price and people are still paying for it then what will be the motivation to use the additional funds generated to improve the product? Firstly, more than 70% of power users are subjected estimated billing so increasing the price for power under such arrangement is nothing but daylight robbery. Let's be mindful of what we advocate for so we don't unconsciously worsen our situation.

Privatize universities in Nigeria.

Tertiary education is not a must and not a yardstick for success.
The fewer the merrier. Let the few people who can afford it have the best of educations rather than jampacking the institution like pack of sardines with no end results..

You can't just privatize public universities. There are public University in almost every nation. America that is propagating capitalism all over the world still have lots of public universities.

We must not turn our institutions for profit. So anywhere we find inefficiency and inadequate funding, the only solution is privatisation? Come on, then we should as well privatise; the police, fire service, the national bureau of statistics, all government hospitals etc

Holargyde:
I see debasing comments here . Our hatred for politicians in general is cloaking our very need of symphathy.
You just go off and make useless comments, did you know this man personally? I know the numerous lives he has impacted, if he were so bad as some people claim here why would people vote him for a third term ? Do you know the source of livelihood of numerous people hinged on this man before his death ?
You guys are just somehow on this platform.
Say a prayer for the dead or better still just keep scrolling but no you want to run your mouth.
May the good Lord grant the dead repose.

There are two sets of people in Nigeria. The exploited and the exploiters. I'm a full member of the exploited class and since our class has been rendered powerless using the institutions of the state. We all count it as progress when a member of the exploiting class dies. I don't need to know him personally. If he had contributed to nation building whoever he left behind can survive in a stable society.

But because they have not done anything to create a stable society where an average Nigerian can live a decent life it becomes a tragedy for the people they left behind. And what tragedy even? When most have stolen what their generations unborn can't finish.

Oshigun:
Look, be bitter all you want. You only poison your own drive and will, to the detriment of your own succcess and happiness, with the toxicity you are carrying around.

This is a trap. Your own succcess and happiness is nothing but an illusion when you have a disorganised society. You can confirm from Badeh and the likes

Oshigun:
because the man was a politician and never personally came to your house to hand you money you must jubilate his death? Seems you don't appreciate how much like a frustrated loser you sound.

God punish politicians and their hand outs. Is that how youths in other continents survive? More than half of the American population usually have no clue about the name of their vice president. Because they have a living to make. And things are working to an extent. There is no resting place for all Nigerian politicians and vicious businesses men that have worked to make our lives unbearable.

Oshigun:
When I see comments like this I think "loser". We are all going to die. Death and taxes the only thing certain in life. At least the man lived good till he died. He was not a kid either so you have no point. You may live to 100 and everyday is full of frustration and pain. Get some ambition in your vein and stop beefing successful people and politicians.

They are not the one preventing your success and happiness. You are. You are finished in life when all you do is hate success rather than be inspired by it. Just say RIP and move on. So many negative comments in this hatefest thread. Jeez !!!!

What is successful about them? They lived all their lives exploiting the masses. And who said they are not the ones preventing the success of an average Nigerian? But you will either go to church to fight imaginary village people or Mecca to stone the devil.

He has been in the house for 8years, go and find out how much has been paid to him for constituency project and what project he did and check out the living standards of people that really depends on those projects.

Patrioticman007:
It's high time national orientation agency start propagating to ipobian pigs that the human brain is an app, so that they will start using it...... Fellow Nigerians please do the mathematics of ;
1. Why is it few days to election, that the killings of innocent citizens has increased beyond sane proportion.

2. Why is it that, Boko haram are more daring to wipe out villages and military installation using armbush tactics and they spare no prisoners.

3. PMB has said BK boys have been defeated technically, however PDP are trying to discredit his statements by increasing attacks against innocent civilians. Please Nigerians let's reason this out.
God bless PMB , God bless Nigeria. Thank you.

How can you be blaming the opposition when Apc controls the security architecture of the country? For the last 3years that it has been happening can you mention one drastic measure Buhari has taken?

For 3years now he has kept same service chiefs that has proven so incompetent. And that's also the fault of the opposition according to you. If you're been paid to defend the indefensible you should have it in mind that insecurity affects all. If Badeh could fall victim then you're surely not immune to it.

Let's wait as more details unfold

There is no synergy between the legislative and the Executive. And unfortunately, the Nigerian President has made matters worse by always turning down bills presented to him even with input from his liason in the preparation of the bills.

Then next, he comes up with nominees that excludes two regions. Buhari is a divisive leader. He is not what Nigeria needs at this time.

And for those uninformed fellows supporting Buhari's refusal to sign the electoral bill on the ground that is too close to elections, mind you Jonathan signed the electoral bill in 2015 two days to the general elections which empowered Inec to use the card reader and electronic voters register. Which we have never used before.

One of the best place to live in Nigeria

One thing is certain, the people still pushing for Buhari's re-election are same people that will suffer the most.

The number of out of children from the Northern region are more than 80% of the reported 3 Million increase under Buhari's administration. So if same people having it worse are still pushing for his continuation then so be it.

Common rice donated by the Chinese government for the IDPs in the north was left at the port for 8months. And same IDPs will still vote for a continuation of this hopeless government.

There has been damming reports that the military personnel demand for sex from the IDPs before they are feed. And same IDPs will still vote for continuation.

It was under this same administration that the Airforce misdirected their air strike, hitting the IDPs. Yet, they are going to vote for continuation.

The repercussions of not planning for the future generations.

Nigeria is a failed state.

This crisis has been under reported. The last time I was travelling to Cross River, someone was saying that the federal government actually contributed to the crisis by not having clear boundary between the two states. And I did look out for the boundaries like we have in other states and didn't see any.


It's so bad that during the climax of the crisis the locals will be stopping moving vehicles just to ascertain the identity of the passengers if you're from the neighbouring village you will be ordered to disembark from the the journey and you're also likely to be killed

Sai baba

So nobody could ask him why he allowed rice donated by the Chinese for the IDP to accumulate #800M demurrage under his watch. We need a government that will deal with waste in governance.

Osinbajo has only been paying lip service to the issue of prudent management of our resources.

Senselessness... Masses that has been deliberately kept in poverty for generations will still be fighting for the political elites.

Any fool fighting for a politician deserves more than this.

Politicians have kids and relatives but they will never use their own during electioneering.

Warning to Nigerian youths! If you allow yourself to be used this guy's fate awaits you. If a politician have any grievance they should go to the police.

Interesting times

Does the court really have the power to stop the state assembly from carrying out its constitutionally established functions?

We need someone with the audacity of Sowore.
