APC supporters want people to agree with them on governance. Some of them are trying to be rational claiming, you don't have to disagree with every position of the ruling party.

They should point out at least 3 areas where they openly agreed and synchronized with the ruling party when they were in opposition.

We all know how they did their opposition.

I don't take most of these politicians serious

This press statement is apt if PDP will remain relevant.

All the reactions against PDP is to silence them. You must not do your opposition role on the terms and conditions of the ruling party. If PDP don't speak up, they will be silenced.

Or we should just trust APC and not have any opposition, simply because it's APC? or because it's buhari,?

Abegyyyy

Love this photo
Who can do something like this for me, around Ajah area of Lagos.

Sensationalism everywhere.

People don't want to evaluate the current administration, That has positioned them into self inflicted anger and baseless support/sycophancy.

This government is distracting Nigerians. So after probing and killing those accused of corruption. What about your own life have you moved a step forward?

ayindejimmy:
Any statement the presidnt make now wil be used against him by haters in d court of Public Opinion.
Its better he remain silent on this one bicos it's double egded

Humm, So this is what we should protect the president of Nigeria from.

Public opinion?

We should save buhari from public opinions? Hence, he shouldn't address burning national issues?

Meen, this is too much.

Seun or lalasticlala, should put things like this in the front page.
It will make the FG know that we have not forgotten.

AZeD1:
No Jonathan and NOI were clueless... The budget was based on 70+ dollars a barrel which means they had about $30 to play.


Also they met subsidy at about N300 billion and more than tripled it to over a trillion....

Yet In July FG further reduced the number of oil importers, and subsidy still increased.

Remii:
things have changed


in 2012: oil was $111/bbl and $ = N156

in 2015: oil is $38 and $ = N200 (official)


petroleum products prices have fallen worldwide, so removing subsidy shouldn't make the price too high if marketers are well regulated.

we should focus on common good, apc and pdp do not have separate countries.

That means we had a proactive leader with foresight,

But couldn't appreciate it because we were looking at the direction pointed by tinubu. Who knows, he may be wrong now also.

No depth. Very weak rebuttal.
So what should we celebrate now, that we shouldn't celebrate before now.

That this shittt made the front page is the major issue.

Equado:
This writeup has been on my mind for sometime but due to the nature of my job,I have been extremely busy. This writeup might be helpful to some of the unemployed youths who are currently jumping from one interview to another, or those who are wondering what next after school.
I graduated from the university about 3years ago, and as a normal Nigerian graduate, I sat at home submitting cvs from one company to another, hoping ill one day get my dream job. I submitted cvs day in, day out and gradually days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. I gained weight and before I knew it,I felt myself rapidly aging, was looking far older than I was. The agenda for the day where the same, eat, games, sleep, eat, TV/games, sleep.If I needed money for anything I asked my mum, it was truly a nightmare, my mum took full advantage, in making me do menial house-chores which I so hated. Something has to change I thought.
I decided to go out and do anything I can to make money, so I started home lessons for my aunts children, she paid me 5k for two hours lesson, three times a week. I wrote an application to teach in one "dead" private school at a place far from me, I knew I would never be turned down due to my educational qualifications.So I landed my first ever job post school days, I was to teach 6 subjects(mathematics,geography,agric,biology,chemistry and physics) both for ss1 and ss2. It was a stressful job and the pay was just 16k, the transport from the school to where I stay was 4k per-month. Teaching at that school was soooo stressful, writing lesson notes for all those subjects, marking students notes and teaching. It was very stressful but I did the job diligently, My director recommended me to a man who was looking for a lesson teacher for his son, he paid 20k for 3hours a day, four times a week lesson. I was no longer depending on my mum for financial support and hence i stopped the house-chores I so hated .
Fast forward, I was one day preparing the js3 class for there upcoming junior waec one evening when i noticed a woman who looked very rich observing me from the window. She was inside her car passing by and heard me teaching and it caught her attention. She sent her security man to collect my number, was expecting her call but she never called. One month later, I received a call and it was her, she wanted me doing home lesson for her children, they where 3 in number. After much negotiations she opted to pay 80k for the 3 of them, at this time all my earnings combined was about 116k. I stopped doing lessons for my aunts children, was just focused on my two lessons and the school where I was teaching.
Fast forward, the woman I worked for was a talkative and I liked talking myself, each time am teaching her children and shes around, we talk about everything. She grew to like me, and in no short time it was like we've known ourselves for a long time. Her husband is a contractor to a big oil company and he wanted starting an oil servicing firm for his wife, due to the discussions me and his wife usually have, I got to know. She told me about the project and how they already have everything in place, just looking for the right personnel's. She needed a manager who would run the place, she told me about it and subtly asked me if I was interested since I read a course similar to what she wants. I quickly agreed, despite my lack of experience she made me the manager of the soon to start establishment.
It was all a dream, as the manager I was entitled to my own personal car, which she gave me from her and her husbands fleet of cars and my salary structure is now over 400k. We started the company, she brought in more experienced people but all of them are to call me "SIR''. I became boss to car owners, " Big Men" and during the 6months have been working there now have shook hands to highly important personalities. The first interview we conducted, I saw graduates trooping in, just to get this job, made me realize how far I have come in a short while, only because I decided to leave the house and get busy instead of jumping from one interview to another.
The company has done really well in this few months, our second recruitment exercise is tomorrow and its like have been here all my life. In reality March this year, I didn't envisage Ill be here so soon. Morals of this, to those graduates out there still waiting for big organizations to start recruiting,before leaving the house, please get out there and do anything, no matter how menial it might be, while doing it be diligent , cause you might never know when its your turn to break-free of the yoke that's unemployment .

Nice story.. What's the name of your company, I'm interested.

The extent most ladies go to get married, you'll just wonder.

Everything is just manipulation. You can dismiss the man's claim for any reason but the fact remains that these days, many ladies are complacent when married others have lost touch of what is expected of them in marriage.

Simple. buhari is not leading from the front

Yet some persons defended amaechi of rivers state?
What's ever happened in Abuja happened in every state.
That's how things run and we know it.
There how much these people will push this drama and it will backfire.
I believe they know when to stop.

ziccoit:
We are talking about blood money distributed by Dasuki under very watchful eyes of GEJ, you are here talking about APC campaign funding. How is that correlates to corruption?

So where and how did APC get the money they spent.

Or you think you can get those billions if money was not miss appropriated in any way?

For me, I think when data bundle is finished, you shouldn't have data access and your credit remains.

I hate a situation when you'll have 10mb and 500naira credit on phone, suddenly the data is finished and the 500naira credit removed and you want to make an urgent call and you find out that your credit is wasted on instant deductions.

It's a NO for me

Data exhausted , don't take my credit.

Why pilot?
Anyway reason?

I don't think Ambode will engage in fraud. He's not Fashola.

Your reply was based on APC reasons. With that mindset, you can't exhibit common sense anywhere. Coz you'll be unnecessarily militant just to protect buhari

You deserved to be blocked. If the situation was reversed you'll do same if you have common sense.

The same bullsshit people said when my uncle bought a Peugeot 404 saloon car those days.

Oh, they don't want to hear the word, REVOLUTION.

Check nairaland.com few months /years back. It was all about how we would have a revolution in Nigeria, how the Arab spring will reach Nigeria.

Now they can't bear the sound of revolution,

Sorry to say if the Buhari government don't sit up, revolution is sure.

amtaken:
You are so correct it's not even funny anymore.



God bless you.

God bless you too.

Just that you're taken.

They should get arms and fight back. Chikena
Or the team up with bokoharam.

The spec of the Jeep make sense.
They should buy.

What is she even saying?

that she was fighting the last administration?

That they said the BBOG was a terrorist organization.

But really it seemed so. All she was all about was to give the terrorists massive publicity, millage and courage, the anger of the people was not on the terrorist but against the military and the president.

She said that 20,50,100 people died and those who should be bothered were not.

Now, 100,200,500,1500,20000.people and more have died in this present government, are they bothered?

Does it make them sad? Do they care?

What's really the difference? Have the chibok girls been found?

Why is she not campaigning for their release.

She should move on jare.... All she's doing is just politics.

That guy should be traced and arrested. He wasn't taking pictures...that picture image is he going to get from the shot. Look at her dress.

He should be questioned.

Freemanan:
When OBJ visited Oyo in 2005, he spoke Yoruba all through..... When GEJ went to Nembe, he spoke Ijaw...

Get your mind off party existence...

You're getting it twisted bro, the Instances you mentioned, I didn't take note of them anyway.. My post was simply how I felt while watching. It had nothing to do with party.

I felt Mr President, should at least speak English to balance things. What if there's a conjecture tomorrow, that buhari instructed people to kill non indigenes in the state, based on my political sentiments, I may want to agree. (in a broad sense now, not me, some other persons)

He shouldn't localize things all the time. He is the president of Nigeria not the north. I believe he was talking about the country.

He didn't even make a single sentence in English language.
At least the few minutes I had the patience to watch on NTA.

Tot they wedded at deeper life.

2sexyus:
A wise man once told that a wrong approach to a good intention exist. Technically, the current biafra agitation is typical example of that.

Do I support Biafra? Yes I do!!

So you support biaffraa? I doubt.

It is wrong to make false claims just to correct a perception.

You can't be talking about wrong approach to a struggle you claim to support, and not offer a better approach that will be effective to actualize what you claim to support.

You clearly have not made any input in the biaffraa quest, yet you claim to support it.

You know what, you don't have to support secession. Not all of us do. But claiming you support it is falsehood.

Agitation are not done as if you don't mean it. Oh, you want them to water down the narrative and discussions about it not taken seriously? Oh they should send a paper to buhari, so that he can treat it like the confab report? or it goes on a pull and push process of the PIB ? They should agitating for something and not be heard?

You don't have to support biaffraa . No agitation anywhere works out, with laid back approach. Not even the independence of America, not even the creation of my home state, Delta.

Stick to being politically correct about it. After all buhari sees it as politics against his administration. The same way Jonathan saw bokoharam as politics against his administration.

Nigeria can remain one but the terms have to be spelt out and agreed by all.

Something tells me the next secessionist move will come from the north. God keeping us we shall see and hear how we will all react to it.

Why is she advertising her back side.

I pray they find the oil.

When they find this oil, you will then see the biggest secessionist movement ever; in this country.

You'll know that that part of the country don't give a shiit about other regions.

And when they finally push for secession, they'll get it.

I really pray they find this oil.

kITATITA:
I passed through Onitsha on December 2 and you will review your position if you did. I counted nine burnt trucks. Thousands of northerners were trooping into Delta State; running for dear lives. Seemingly uninformed youths mounted road blocks, searching for people of northern descent. That's not social debate. You'd notice that Nairaland was used as a mobilization platform by the agitators. I was in Enugu for a week and I can tell you that despite the popularity of the Biafra agitation amongst the youths, a referendum will defeat the quest.

Why did things get to that extent. Was it not because of the killings by the military? Were they burning trucks before that day?

Irrespective of what we write here, No soldier from that part of the country would have pulled the trigger even though he may not believe in the movement.

I may not be into this biafra thing, but the National questions of Nigeria have remained unanswered.

The unity of Nigeria is not sacrosanct. We can decide to stay together, but the terms must be clear to all.

Let's not deceive ourselves as if the country is so United. Today it's the igbo people, tomorrow it will be another person. Nothing lasts forever.

It may not be issues about secession it may be something else. As Nigerians we must learn to talk to ourselves and resolve issues rather than pretending they don't exist.
