yinkabeauty: Thank you for your objective analysis, I only differ in perspective. Democracy unlike Military rule is a slow process, USA has practice democracy for over 200years ,yet they had issue during the last election, thankfully, they have strong institutions that could address issue created by Donald Trump. Taki g a historical excursion of our polity, the military disrupted the 1st Republic, alleged corruption, however, they were not better in any way as far as corrupt practices is concerned, Gowon was accused of corruption by Muritala Mohamed (MM) and the greed for political power and domineering tendencies led to a counter coup that killed MM. Then Obasanjo (OBJ ) got power. Now you must recognise the fusion of executive+Legislative function in supreme military council whichade it possible for them to create states, reallocate resources or redistribute it, etc. Military abused those functions because it was concentrated in the hands of few people having parochial interests. North had unusual advantage over the South in allocation of power and resources. More states created from the North, fiscal federalism on which the country agreed to at independence was jettisoned by Ironsi making states that are less productive to share Federal favour equally with more productive states. Independence was agreed to in 1960 on a tripod of North,East and West, today the Moth has 3 Geo Political Zones as the entire South , allocating more negotiation power to the North than West and East. Is that fear? Reason, the military boys were from North. Check Abacha and IBB and the nos of state created by them or LGA. When OBJ came back as civilian, the country was at the brink of distingration due to heightened political and economic tension. National debt was as bad as today with FGN using external FX revenue to service debts, not able to embark on developmental projects. Our external reserve was paltry $3b Military abandoned capital projects under Abacha and I could remember clear Abdularim Adisa say FGN will require World Bank Loan to repair Ibadan -Ilorin Road, OBJ started finalising it without borrowing a dime. GDM was started by Abacha,it failed and OBJade it work, Abacha abandoned Ajaokuta Iron and Steel company that would have placed Nigeria on word map as an Industrial and Technical power , he stole the money that would have been used to pay the USSR expatriate, a project that was 98% completed under IBB. So, it is not true that Military is better than civilian. They are both human, highly susceptible to corruption, the only difference is that I dear civilian, you can talk and point accessing fingers at the thieves, under the Military, you can have the likes of Buhari decree 4, IBB letter bomb to Dele Giwa or or be killed like Yatfua Musa or jailed awaiting death like OBJ under Abacha for condemning the ruling Power corrupt practices. The way out, let'sake democracy work, separation of power, practical, restructure based of foundation at independence, true fiscal federalism, state police, etc Thank you |

ussv: I am more worried about the consequences of having a failed state as our neighbor. The Niger Republic is failing fast and the Idiots in uniform parading themselves as leaders may not suffer as much as the masses. Another disturbing issues is many Nairalanders hailing the coup plotters. Anyone with a good sense of history in Nigeria will readily know the military led us to where we are today. Starting from Buhari that ended the Second Republic.Abacha his friend has been the worst to date |

Our mid-field killed us, the followed by a defence error. Perhaps Nwabali should have moved out to intercept the ball before it got to the scorer of last goal. Mid-field it was that nailed us, we played defensive game all through and Oshimem was rendered useless because he didn't get good ball passed. |

I am from the geographical Northern Nigeria, I am strongly in support of the move. It is a saving strategy. CBN has an excellent office space in Lagos what the grumbling staff are running away from is the traffic and cost of accommodation in Lagos but most of them have a house in Abuja already.

chisomkachy: The enemies of Nigeria are after the best minister in BAT administration. People who are against the reform this man is implementing in the immigration service will come after him. Sad, so sad that Nigerians have a way of pulling down the good people for selfish reasons. Just check the dramatic changes in the Immigration service since this man became minister of the Interior, the extortionists were silenced and the reform made them irrelevant. I hope BAT will look beyond this baseless accusation and allow the man to continue with the good work he is doing for the helpless masses. |

One thing about the Yorubas, can't take it away from the tribe, always the first and most outspoken to criticize their own in Government. I hope other tribes will take note of this? I stand with Ogundaisi on this, Mr President should not emulate Buhari on appointment style. I wish to see more Igbos, SS and middle belt appointments, not just Lagos or Yorubas. That's the way to build Nigeria and strengthen her unity. OBJ excelled on this issue. 8 Likes 1 Share |

My objective is not to. display an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Bible nor answer all his questions, if he is honest with himself and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to him from a sincere heart, God the Holy Ghost will not fail address all the doubts and confusions in his heart. Mine is to give him the formula and back it up with the scriptures. The matter is so very important , indeed one of the most important issues about life, I there not claim to know all but only appeal to him in Christ'stead .like Paul the Apostle did, "be ye reconcile with God".
