A lot of extremely stupiid people who keep looking at this country from their own high grounds.

Anybody who's able to make a comment here is not among the class of Nigerians that the VP is talking about.

There are tens of millions of Nigerians who have never gathered #10,000 in their entire lives.

These Nigerians do not have no smart phones,
They do not buy fuel for cars and generators,
They do not hang out drinking beer every weekend,
They do not have homes made of cement but wood,
They do not have electric coolers in fancy kitchens but cool with firewood.
They do not send their kids to school unless the government builds government schools around them.

Give these people 10k someday and see them worship you for life! Just try.
Give them 10k to put into their tomato business or their grinding business and see them pray for you.

And trust me there are over 50 million of such people in Nigeria.

So his real name is not Atiku Abubakar. It is Sagasse Adjate Aboubakar, originally from Surfi Tariqah a Fulani ethnic group in Cameroon.

Many thanks to our erudite historian Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

When this lady was firing buhari with question and hushing osinbajo, pigs really hailed her and almost accorded her the status of a god.

After watching Buhari and Atiku on the candidates, I have come to the conclusion that Buhari was right about Nigerian Youths being lazy. I choose to concentrate on Buhari and Atiku because they are the two most popular candidates with stronger party structure.

The youths watched the interview of two teams. One team believes .

One who could not understand questions . One that believes that the best way to grow the economy is increase tax of already struggling businesses and borrow more.

While the other believes in reducing tax, bringing in more investors who will create more jobs and then more people will be in the tax net as a result of employment.

One team believes that empowerment for youths is by paying people who studied medicine, engineering, pharmacy etc 30k to go and teach primary school children religious knowledge primary school.

While the other believes in working with banks to reduce interests rates on loans to empower startups.

They look at one team that has been successful in business with evidence of turning $30 million to $100 million in just 1 investment.

Left 75 billion in cash and investments for a state, which has never been done in Nigeria. With moderator admitting that Atiku is the second largest employer apart from government. That he has invested in both Education, health and finance as an individual.



Yet the other has never done any business outside government or employed anyone outside government. While Peter obi has shown evidence of his ability to bring international investors into Nigeria, by the Anambra example..
While one team goes about painting the image Nigeria black and expecting investors to come, the other team believes in selling the potentials of the nation and reducing tax to attract investors. Are we surprised that we are losing investors to Ghana?


Instead of being motivated by the business acumen of the innovative team, they tag it corruption.

So I have come to the conclusion that the youths supporting buhari are truly the lazy youths that are afraid to think outside the box. They are afraid to start something from scratch and grow it. They are afraid to venture into business. They just want to work for government and do nothing meaningful with their lives.

They see that 30k as gainfully employed . While over 20 million real jobs have been lost in banks, telecoms etc, they see 30k job of teaching and wasting potentials as real jobs.

Yet the world richest men today are products of a private sector driven economy. Imagine if the founders of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Alibaba etc were paid 30k to teach in the villages or given 10k in 4 years as trader money?

So it is clear to me today that Nigerian Youths are truly lazy as buhari said and just want to sit and be paid for doing nothing. If not, why will any youth still support buhari after watching Atiku?

His impeachment is long over due....

A spinless coward and Gov like Ambode deserve all he is getting.

If A Gov with all the powers and funds at his deposal could not liberate and save himself from Tinubu, is it Lagos state he can liberate?

Ambode would have started the Lagos Liberation from the first day he took his oath of Office.

All The people he would have brought close to himself he started fighting them. What stopped Ambode from joining forces with Fashola against Tinubu? Mumu man

Today he is seen every where dance and campaigning against PDP forgetting he has his own problems.
Dont be deceived The only way out for Ambode right now is for him to Approve anything Tinubu presents to him, else his Impeachment is SEALED.
If na to oppress one defenceless Pastor now hmmmm Ambode go show power!

Impeach the coward jore!!!

Awolowo's passport (along with the passports of other prominent Nigerians) had been seized by the Buhari government.

Awolowo needed to go for a medical checkup in the UK and Babangids ordered that his passport should be returned to him. I can't remember for sure, but I think he also ordered that the presidential jet should be used to fly him to the UK.

Awolowo went to Dodan Barracks to thank Babangida when he came back from the checkup. I watched it on the NTA News in 1986. The NTA interviewed Babangida and Awolowo in front of the council chambers at Dodan Barracks.

Awolowo said he was there to thank Babangida, while Babangida said that Awolowo was a national treasure. Then Chief Awolowo and HID got into their car (a W100 Mercedes 600) and drove off.

A few weeks later it was announced that Awolowo was dead. I remember that the newspapers said that he had a smile on his face when his body was found. Virtually all the newspapers used black mastheads in his honour. Many people paid tribute to him (I think that was the time that Ojukwu said that Awolowo was the best president that Nigeria never had).

There were actually 2 days of holiday. I woke up early on the first day and tuned to OGTV. They kept showing an old documentary of Awolowo from the 1960s in a loop. I think that they were waiting for live signals from the NTA. The song, "Were Lo Ba Wa Se" was in the documentary and I think that was the first time that I actually got the lyrics, because they kept playing it over and over from 7am until 9 or 10am.

The first day was the lying in state. Babangida ordered that the body should be in a glass casket so that everybody could see it and it was carried on an open top police Land Rover (also so that the crowd could see it).

The lying in state was at the National Stadium in Lagos and the casket was carried on the back of Land Rover through the streets. There were huge crowds on the streets.

Babangida was at the lying in state, as were the governors of the LOBOO states (Lagos, Ogun, Bendel, Oyo, Ondo). Babangida was the first to file past the coffin and very many others filed past it. I remember seeing a little boy in a scouts uniform march past the casket and salute as he got close to it.

The person that got the biggest cheer from the crowd was Baba Salah. He entered the arena with exaggerated weeping and he also went past the coffin.


The second holiday was the day of the funeral. My brother severly criticised the NTA on that day. The picture quality was terrible and my brother asked how the NTA planned to broadcast the Under 17 World Cup (which Nigeria planned to host in 1991) to the world if they couldn't broadcast clear pictures from Ogun State.

The Chief of General Staff (military vice president), Admiral Aikhomu, led the Federal Government delegation to the funeral.

I also remember all the crazy rumours after the funeral. Some people said that Awo's brain was taken to the Soviet Union, while his heart was taken to another country.

hucienda:
Is that not hypocrisy on the part of Tanko? He was part of the Justices who removed a judge at the state level for committing exactly the same offence he is now guilty of at the federal level.

maestroferdi:
Where are you from?

I am sure it is not Igboland...

You have not heard of Odum na-egbu Agu before the central theme of several Igbo folklore...

My friend every Igboman knows that "Agu" is lion, so waka...
