That's where you're wrong,lack of continuity brings an end to a movement. I mean,Ogudu cattle ranch is alive today cos of the genuine governmental efforts while the Calabar Tinapa is dead cos of political scores despite all the billions spent by Donald Duke. For how long are we gonna continue in wastage cos of different political ideologies? Why do you think Lagos state is a model for other states, definetly because of the continuous political dynasty that exist in the state,a present government leveraging on the success on the previous ones. My brother,I tell you,Nigerians still spend millions yearly despite the recession on tourism,by that I mean outside of the country let alone the one in our backyard. Truth of the matter is,Fayose is a failure passonified. I am a Yoruba son and I will never support a fellow Yoruba just for the sake of it,I'll forever call a spade a spade

You seem to be really ignorant about Obudu and Tinapa. Please go and do proper research or simply ask questions.

I'm not contesting your sentiments about fayose after all, you don't hold such opinion about other governors, even if you do, you wouldn't express it. We saw how a judge was rubbished for speaking out in osun state. How many of you spoke out. In fact, It seemed non yorubas were the people insisting that the state be closely looked at.

I understand the hypocrisy, so no worries. Of course, Lagos, a 95% private sector driven state, WHICH IS NOT EVEN THE MAKING OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT, is always used as reference... if it truly was that of the state government initiatives, fashola would have displayed such genius in the FG, but we know better.

Fayose is not my governor, I don't hold the sentiment of him being a failure, anyone leaning to the ruling party will easily see fayose as a failure. It's normal human psychology.

He is the only opposition government in his region, and a vocal critic of the FG, Understandably he wouldn't have friends like you, who wish his voice is drowned.

If ikogisi was viable, it will run itself irrespective of who is governor. In Lagos, how many tourists places is owned and run by government. Lagos government only chase them about for tax

Whether politically motivated or otherwise, there's something you don't get. That place used to be a tourist attractions to thousands of people. I know this because I've been there and I can say the place was a major source of revenue to the state but now, see the rot it's become. Aside from being a source of revenue, it served as a source of employment opportunities to their people and and the fact that a sitting governor will allow state infrastructures become this gory sight is something I can't comprehend despite the huge state resources spent. For those hailing Fayose,how I wish he could be your state governor for a year and see what will become of your state

If that place was truly viable as you wish to put it, then it wouldn't have been this way. Besides in a recession, few people will spend money on such things. Except those who was to throw around their ill gotten wealth.

Bolustical:
What were Ekiti people expecting before? Critical infrastructure? Lol

He who eats the RICE must surely pay the PRICE

The election of Fayose is one of the greatest insults to we the Yorubas,

2018 is here and that is the time to redeem yourselves, Ekiti people.

Chuckles...

Funny crap... The same yorubas see nothing wrong with the FG and Aregbesola's government.

Abegyy.... The ikogosi place wasn't better off before fayose. Realistically speaking.

How silly it sounds to hear APC playing the victim cards.
We all know the people who started hate speech.
Nairaland era, was the name "odechukwu" ever censored on this platform?

Only fools will swallow the crap from Oyegun.

There is no doubt that most of those protesting on the streets for Buhari to either resume or resign; are patriots who want the best for Nigeria and want to see continuity in governance without any hitch. But are these people inadvertently undermining the process, the constitution and Osibanjo’s leadership without even knowing it?

Buhari was popularly elected as President of Nigeria in 2015. His “age” or more accurately the generation he belonged to was no secret. When you are a man or woman of certain age; you become prone to falling ill. Nigerians knew this but chose Buhari anyway so should we be more gracious and tolerant of the President’s health situation?

Now there is a temptation to refer to the Musa Yar’adua experience in all this, but this is different. Yar’adua travelled without communicating to the NASS about his health situation and absence and hence when he became really sick there was a power vacuum as power was not duly transferred to his deputy, hence why the NASS passed the doctrine of Necessity in order to resolve the impasse.
In the case of Buhari we have a slightly different situation. Buhari writes the NASS each time he goes on medical leave. By so doing power is duly transferred to his deputy. There is no power vacuum here. The constitution is silent on how long the President can stay on medical leave. So Buhari has fully complied with the law as detailed in section 145 of the constitution. Now we know that both from a medical and legal standpoint we are so far away from being able to prove that the President is incapacitated and yet we also know that Buhari will never resign as it is not in his nature to do so.

So why are people protesting? You get the sense that the protest is driven by our suspicion of the system itself and lack of appreciation of the law, process and constitution or at least a lack of willingness to follow it to the letter. People are reacting to the gossips about how the cabal is running the country from behind the scene. The cabal cannot run the country without the wilful collusion of the Acting President at least through silence. The cabal cannot nominate Government appointees, send bills to the NASS, access funds from the CBN or deploy the military without going through the Acting President.  In fact until Buhari writes another letter to the NASS saying that he is back to office, it will be a criminal offence for anyone in the Presidency to take any major Presidential actions without recourse to Osibanjo. So Osibanjo must start taking responsibility and start leading for whatever happens while Buhari is on medical leave is being done in his name. There should be no vacuum and the only statutory responsibility of the Vice President is for him to be Acting President when the President is not there. This is Osibanjo’s only job and he should simply do his job. Those protesting on the streets looking for the President when there is an Acting President are simply indicating they are not satisfied with the service delivered by the Acting President.

We must learn as a Nation to follow the law as it is until it is changed. We cannot build a Nation on emotions.

What about Ikoyi gate.

You all remember passingshot /Dropshot thread on how the body language of buhari forced the refineries into production?

Remember the new sheriff in town?

Remember how difficult it was for us to make him and his supporters, understand that they were being silly?

This is the result.

Evablizin:
Knowing his health status will not change anything,they said that Baba is doing well and recovering quick so lets give him another 90days he might come back.


As for Acting P he is trying as much as he can i believe he can do better as time goes on

I understand how limited your understanding is.

Knowing the truth about buhari's health will enable Nigerians put pressure on the FEC to do what the constitution demands.

Only hypocrites feel that the absence of PMB does not matter. If this is what governance is, then this regime is light years behind.

bilms:
Stop acting like you are any better. Why can't you for once leave your sentiment aside and see the danger ahead.

Human lives are much more important than your sentiments.

Have real concern devoid of sentiments

That you hold this sentiment is enough to seek separation. It's a validation you give to a section as being able to get a way with crime. You also expect unity on that basis. What a shame. If you like call me Ipob, I don't care. I'm not from the south east.

What will even happen, that some awusa will kill igbos for asking to leave a country.

Hayah:
Soq,

Seriously speaking, how many sellers will allow a buyer come in with a knife to start scratching the coils of all the generators in the shop in order to verify its originality

Non.

In my case, I asked him to do it to convince me after payment.

Jaytecq:
when u want to buy, locate the Coil side, use a small knife to scratch one of the coil inside, if it pills, its Aluminium coil. Run
better still go with a good Generator engineer

I remember doing this stuff in a generator part store, all of them had the copper coating out when scratched. Made me feel 99%of all these China generators are all aluminum.

klarry79:
but still noisy and pollutes the atmosphere. Switch to civilization where we use solar and inverter. you will discover a new peace of mind

Gen is more reliable than all the solar I've seen.

ifnyioj22:
story!!

What's the capacity of that citizen generator and the cost. I wana buy.

Jaytecq:
anyone you are buying, just make sure its a cooper coil. Ces't fini

How would you know it's not a copper coil and what if it's not a copper coil.

I'm thinking of buying one. .. Say 3kv. These sellers just dey tell be buy power value, lutian, elepaq.. They got me confused. Funny all of them are all China. While I was thinking of getting made in Japan.

I really want to buy. But only have 10k

Jesus...

God help our wives, sisters, girlfriends, mothers, grandmothers, daughters and all our female relatives and friends.

Breast Cancer is never your portion. The disease that befell the Egyptians will never be yours.

I proclaim the protection of God upon you... Your breasts are covered with the blood of Jesus...

Amen. But you been no dey go church na

I thought it was even APDA form. What was TonyeBarcanista saying the other time

from Bihari to kanu to Sahara reporters, non has respect for court judgement.

Amberon11:
Why do you people so irrational and arrogant? Pls focus on your Biafra and leave the ND out of it. We have more than enough of everything it takes to thrive in our nation.

I know how difficult it is for you to digest the fact that I'm of such opinion . so you quickly assumed I'm one of the south Easterners who come online to take another Identity.

I'm not in the forefront of Biafra quest so you don't expect me to open thread about it.

I've given example of the creation of my home state, Delta state and the various opinions of people during the quest for the new state. some being indifferent, some not wanting it having invested so much in Benin city etc, what my family did and how others fared .

I understand your pain. that's why I say majority of we Niger deltans don't know their left from their right. they complain foolishly forgetting that to make omelets, you have to crack eggs.

enjoy your day.

With all the responses here, we still see mega weddings everywhere in Lagos. Abegyy we lie a lot

juventino:
Then pack your loads and move to your Biafra land!

Those people are also in there land... You have to be open minded about it to get better understanding else, the agitation will continue from one generation to another.

Rossikki:
For now you are.

Until Biafra happens then you'll see that Igbos do not consider you their equals, and will seek to dominate you. Before you know it, you're back to square one - a minority facing an arrogant, oppressive majority.

I've heard it all. It's a psychological thing. The closest and better partners our people really have are the igbo people, even if you want to look at it from the angle of regional development... The Niger deltans don't have all it takes to be a country of its own. The complement comes from the igbo people. Are the Niger deltans not being arrogantly oppressed now?

Like I've said, the fear of the igbo people by the SS is stupidity. Are we truly developing as we should? Oh the escape route is "true federalism" as they call it.

That may not happen any time soon. In fact the easiest way to get that true federalism is in pulling out of Nigeria.

No.
There's no good reason to do so. Unless you are emotional about it.

Rossikki:
Nigeria will not let Biafra go.

Biafra accounts for 90% of FG revenue.

Expecting Nigeria to allow Biafran secession is like asking a man to stick his head through a noose and hang.

So far I've seen large crowds at Kanu rallies with colorful flags and attires.

But I've seen precious little by way of military build up or preparations for actual combat.

Isn't it time someone told Kanu to form an army or quit disturbing our peace?

Pharaoh of Egypt said worse. I'm a Niger deltan and I've told my people, we are all biafrans.

Most of them are on nairaland telling us "hard work pays"
We know what they do.

If Biafra is achievable, kanu's method is the closest to achieving it.

aolawale025:
Someone like Fayose would paradoxically have added more creditability to whatever political capital they hope to gain

I agree. Fayose would be be that person who would have told Nigerians the truth about what he saw.

I mean, for those who want to know the truth. Not those who want to believe a lie.
