Nigerians are naturally wicked, they deserve strong hand like the military.....when these ones insulting Buhari now were busy embezzling the money, they didn't know they were destroying the Country? They suddenly forgot their slogan, "SHARE THE MONEY" after killing the country they still have mouth to talk?
Awon Wailers club of Nigeria, nairaland branch,

But the person that apologized supported Buhari pre-2015. You never complained of him looting then. I also supported Buhari, I never was part of any looting agenda. My brother truth is Jonathan was a better leader. One's level of education will always reflect in leadership.

allthingsgood:
Pls don't answer the foolish wailers. They are angry no more free money to loot. Cursed fools

Free money to loot? Buhari opened wide our borders for pandemic despite calls on him for over a month to shut borders. How should anyone not criticize that move? It's trouble brought to our individual families including yours by Buhari's ineptitude.

Officialgarri:
I prefer a government whose failure is as a result of unavoidable circumstances and world politics to a government who had all available resources to be successful, yet they looted all.

So Buhari is a failure now? Truth will always prevail. Goodluck!

ada9ja:
Olodo

I don't get involved in cheap banters. If you can't engage in an argument intelligently, devoid of insult; then swerve madam.

ada9ja:
You and others find it as a reason of coming to nairaland and using social media....but if asked what should be done....dull brains....that white don't insult they criticises with better way forwards unlike some fools on social media in Nigeria...

Nigerians didn't just criticize, many asked Buhari to shut the borders before the entrant of Covid-19, so I ask how many advice has Buhari adhered to?

hotwax:
, especially as we have even more security issues under his regime now

So you rendered all your arguments about Jonathan invalid by your last statement.

Thank you.

No mind that one. If nothing, Jonathan never granted repented Boko Haram terrorist amnesty. That is too demoralising.

Favourflavour:
7 years post call. I practice between in the east.

At 7, why not contemplate running your firm or entering a partnership/associateship with one? Truth is save Lagos and maybe Abuja practicing under someone isn't as lucrative. Start up. Our office is in Benin though.

Favourflavour:
I studied law, practiced without pay for a long while, and now I am desperately looking for a job.

How many years post-call and what State are you practicing in?

Facelesscabal:
I think on a serious note some of this guys are been forced and brain washed into this.. those guys over there are not educated (atall) no means of livelihood, no exposure to the outside world whatever, they lack everything basic its gonna be so easy to brain wash them. I would say if the government really mean it they should grant them given the once who werent found on battlefield or in gruesome act..they don’t deserve it but mehn it could have happened to anybody..i have stayed in the north abit and mehn those guys there need help,exposure and truth.. just my 2cents

Help at the expense of the South, amnesty at the expense of those who lost lives the the war, what of the family of the soldiers killed?
Why not grant amnesty to Kidnappers, Drug dealers and Armed Robbers, who said they were no brainwashed too?

It unfortunate the South keeps bearing the brunt of the North's mischief.

Sad! See how Buhari lost so much goodwill he garnered in 2015. If you think he won 2019 elections after post-poning the elections and installing a puppet CJN, then you are joking.

Sha as it is now, na only me and my family I trust for this country. This government legit-scam us in 2015.

bestboss8:
Are you saying Buhari has not done one single good since he came into power.

Do you know what would have happened to Nigeria if he opens his mouth to talk as carelessly as Trump does?

Single good? And why it even be a single good? Go back to pre-2015 and look up the campaign promises Buhari-led APC made. I mean almost every one fell flat like Buhari is bringing an Eldorado. Since then, howfa security, what about job creation, power nko? The man is instead busy raising VAT, borrowing, etc. What pro-people's policy has he come up with?

About talking carelessly, don't go there. Whoever said Nigerian youths are lazy ?

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Is okay sha

But the ban get as you be o

Damnnnnn

Anyway Edo state government should not ban more local government from using keke

A niggarrr just invested in that shitt recently o

Bought a keke for almost seven hundred thousand naira
And i gave it out to one man for hire purchase
Anyway that is not gonna be my problem. We don already reach agreement. Na him know where he want for go drive am

Lol. I'm a lawyer resident in Benin with office at Siluko road. Going forward, you may want to have a formal agreement to secure investment.

Khaleell001:
I am not saying the government has done fantastically well, but resignation should not be the first thing to say.
What they should do is demand more from the executive using different means.
.Truthfully, me sef taya for how things dey go, but we need to demand for more strategic actions by all and sundry ;after all, the SW governors are taking the initiative with Amotekun.

We shouldn't all rely on government all the time before we do something.

Same Amotekun F.G and it's allies fought tooth and nail?

solmusdesigns:
we know ibos can only insult people so we aint offended.. be innovative and creat somthing like amotekun rather than making noise up and down

Must another Amotekun be created before the president will do his job?

danilmo:
I read ur comment with d other guy. I most say
guy ure not politically intelligent.

Your opinion, and you are entitled to it Mr. Intelligent.

givbitcoin:
There is the police, army and navy. The protect yoruba as much as they protect others. Must yoruba people form a tribal security outfit before they feel protected? Even when doing so contravenes the contents of the constitution? Although, I know that Amotekun will fail but attempting to create is a big attack on unity of this country. yoruba have elders who cannot think but rather behave like untamed donkeys. The consequences of what you have done will be dire. Those who embrace you with love are the people you stab but you call it wisdom.

My brother for once respect people's choice(s). If the yorubas choose to pull out of the country cause it's not working, it's their choice. If they choose to operate a security outfit; respect it. This is a democracy. The constitution was made for man and can't take precedent over the lives of people.

voltron14:
If you call it persecution, why are more Fulanis being killed in core Fulani states like Katsina and Zamfara?

Have non-fulani's fallen victims of the terror acts of these group? Have there been killings and kidnappings in the South by these killer herdsmen? If they have, then you no right determining how they choose to protect themselves.
If Fulanis are being killed by their Fulani brothers, it's their case, but don't go on a killing spree of non-fulanis.

Witchersunited:
I have to be a particular tribe and religion to challenge your views, security is in the hands of Nigerians not outsiders, there is an army check point not far from you, If you are an outsider to them, what's stopping them from attacking you right now, stop having that kind of mindset.

If the governor's as first representative of their people say their people need regional police, why cry more than them? Is man made for law or the other way round?

Witchersunited:
Maybe it's me or somtin

Do people bother to check things

The crisis affects the north more, they kill their own people more than Christians


I'm not a Muslim but Christians over do things


False alarm and panic everywhere, see south west that nothing happens to talking about regional Police, how many people died in South West? Look at the case well and u will see that the vigilante group is a tribal affair, benue that has suffered alot aren't even talking about policing, it's Lagos with only 5 deaths

They should wait till they totally wiped out? What happened to the word "proactive?"

itsme01:
I think your obsession with Tinubu is very worrying

Awolowo spoke on all issues with regionalistic veiws, Buhari might work behind doors for North but never would you see him openly speak on RUGA, or Amotekun never!! only his minions, and as for Tafa Balewa (golden voice of Africa) he was too Pan African for tribal and regional issues, he is fathered by a returned educated slave who located his root back to Northern Nigeria so he was not intrested in pettiness of region and that was why Sarduna sent him as Prime Minister.. same as Nnamdi Azikwe he was pan Nigeria and Pan African and never supported Ojukwu or Biafra

You must really think Tinubu bothers me. Atleast my Naira dear record is there for all to see.
Atleast you admitted Awolowo addressed issues of his region ahead of national sentiments. Clap for yourself.
However to say Buhari has been addressing issues of his region behind the curtain is plain stupidity. For a man whose appointments have revealed his level of bigotry? Did his spokesperson not throw their weight behind Ruga? Who does his spokesperson speak for, me? His government has since taken many critical projects to Daura. Did Buhari not speak out against Jonathan fighting Boko Haram. Was he not a national leader? You come here to show case your ignorance.

Go back and read up on the late Tafawa Balewa, how he spoke on preserving first the interest of the Hausa/Fulani.

itsme01:
first Tinubu and his team started the DAWN (developmental agenda of western nigeria) commision that initiated Amotekun
secondly the frame work would be based on Lagos state Neigborhood watch Act
thirdly Osun and Lagos are stake holders and contributed equal cars and finance
lastly Obasanjo and Tinubu are not making open comments because they are National leaders that have grown past regionalism

If Tinubu did all that you claim, it shouldn't be difficult for him to come out in open support of the program.
Was Awolowo not a national leader, did he not take positions that first safeguard the interest of his people? Was Tafawa Balewa not a national leader, did he no stand up for his people when it mattered? Is Tinubu more of a national leader than Buhari, has Buhari not been protecting the interest of his region since God knows when?

Stop with the lame excuses. Admit Tinubu's selfishness.

itsme01:
whatever you like say, thats your knowledge of politics.. but politics is about getting things done and not making un needed noise to heat up polity

how many times have you seen Tinubu make statement anyhow? and hasn't he being oulling connection behind curtains for people accross the country? havent you seen Governors elect, senators and federal reps going to thank him for his political generosity? have you ever seen him goto press for any of this?

I'll start with your last point. Tinubu has always used the Press and was outspoken on restructuring during Jonathan's administration. He's suddenly gone MIS on Amotekun that is a sure way to restructuring because of his ambition.
You talked about politics being about "getting things done." Wetin be the thing en do? Instead of standing up to be counted, showing leadership as Afenifere, he's hiding behind the curtains and you say he's getting things done? Do you know as a Yoruba leader, his position on this matter is critical and will give the region a sense of direction?
The obvious truth many of you have refused to admit is Tinubu's selfish ambition is reason he is not speaking. Was Tinubu not outspoken during the "subsidy removal" brouhaha? SMH

Princewell2012:
What makes you think tinubu is not supporting them underground

Because he knows that Buhari might want to use federal might to rig the election. Hence the birth of Amotekun.

Why did he support Buhari in 2015 and 2019? Are they now strange bed fellows?

NGpatriot:
Tinubu is not the beginning and the end of everything in Nigeria, he doesn't have to be in the middle of everything in Nigerian and the fact that to some of you, nothing in Nigeria is relevant or means anything unless you see and hear from Tinubu even when it's not necessary says a lot about the man, his power and omnipotent presences in your daily realities.

Amotekun is the brainchild of serving governors and public officials in the SW, the same governors are capable of defending their program and they are successfully defending their efforts so they don't need Tinubu to speak for them, to undercut them or turn the whole into a Tinubu Vs FG affair.

This is when sensible, pragmatic and smart leaders stay above the fray and if needed, control, twist elbows and offer valuable ideas and advice in the background.

The people ranting about Tinubu not saying anything because they care about the SW or because they love Tinubu, they'd just love to see an open confrontation and turn the issue into Tinubu Vs Buhari instead of SW security Network Vs FG.

Tinubu is a smart man and he's doing the right thing by letting the governors defend and push through their efforts without taking the shine away from them or undercut their efforts and credibilities.

People need to relax and quit acting like babies.

Is Buhari against his top ally protecting his region? Why must Tinubu support a man that hates to see the SW being protected? Or is the SW now regretting supporting Buhari?

stickle:
It is easy to be emotional about some of this things. But a little understanding of how things work in this country will reveal to you why BAT silence is for his good. he has political ambition and whatever he says or do now will count against him. He is a political leader.
Yoruba proverb says ' if you are yet to possess the matchet you can't start asking the kind of death that kill your father's.
If Tinubu is bit in support of Amotekun, Lagos State government wouldn't have supported it.
Even his enemies will be pushing him to commit blunder.
As to whether he will be president or not, only God knows.

Personal ambition ahead of the lives of the people you are to lead? Too bad but Nigerians deserve the kind of leadership they get.

itsme01:
He is current National Leader of a National Political party so he cant make any reckless statement except well thought out statement which is Nationalistic and not anti party

thats the reality of a leader, or why else havent Obasanjo spoken up?

This men are not the novice type of politicians that talk before thinking and chase journalist about for attention

.

Party or the people you represent, who comes first?
No need raising wack defences. As a politician, your people are your first constituency and responsibility, else he's not deserving of being a leader in SW.

Microwhy:
Bro. Will Atiku fight corruption the way Buhari is doing it. Did Jonathan fight corruption the way Buhari is doing it now?
There is no way Nigeria will move forward without fighting corruption head-on.
Corruption fight, please give it to Buhari..

Quote me when Buhari task Gandollar, Tinubu, Oshiomhole etc on corruption.

Goto KANO and come back to judge Ganduje.
If stacking dollar in agbada is what will bring development to our states then so be it. Atleast at this stage of our democracy, we can still tolerate it.
Kalu was buying properties and renting them out to the state instead of building Secretariats when he was governor(1999). that is too bad.

Buhari won his first election based his then perceived anti-corruption stance. For almost every corrupt official you find in Nigeria, there is atleast one project tied to his name.

The thread is simply about the hypocrisy is Buhari's corruption fight, that is what I want you to address.

Obaseki who APC's leader won't give breathing space has done in 4 years what Oshiomhole couldn't do in 8years as regards development and yes I'm in Benin and have so been from Lucky Igbinedion's time.

So you see, it's not the issue of development, but APC's useless hypocrisy.

IgboSomalia:
I wanted to reply you, then I looked at your profile picture and saw your shoe.

That kind of shoe you're wearing, you need driver's license to wear it. Na double-decker

Really?

I'm against corruption, but a one-sided corruption fight is no fight.

What about:
1. Tinubu
2. Ganduje...?

Add yours if you wish.

Buharists will want to find a way to defend these, wanting to apply the rule of law in dealing with issues relating to the 2 above named, but have failed to admit how many are under trial on grounds of mere suspicion and nothing more.
