Virtually every sector in Nigeria is politicized most especially in Buhari's administration what you get is according to the number of votes.

Besides appointments of individuals into positions where they go and steal blindly, what exactly are the people who voted Buhari enjoying which others dont get?

eTECTIV:
D VP has now finally been restricted to d mere commissioner ... VP will now get approval from Abba Kyari lol.. Even d condolences will now b under d Ministry of Humanitarian affairs lol..

...and his haters rejoiced and rejoiced and rejoiced!

King44:
don't be deceived that is going there to make a change as you have said, for instance I am Seun the man in concern government offered me a job and this government we are talking is not even buhari in person, I accept the job and one of the people who drafted me in is the devil or the devil messenger who is responsible for tweaking the budget (I am just saying) who do you expect me to be loyal to? what truth do you expect me to come out and say that won't ruin me? or have you forgotten the saying that says the person who knows how you got it knows how to kick you out? see it either you join them when u enter or not at all

if he wants to make a change he should ride on the back of a horse he prepared himself so some higher voices won't dictate when he has to pee or poo

So what exactly is your proposal? That good people should forever stay out of leadership until such a fictional time when the government is filled only with angel and saints?

Just a gentle reminder, people like Prof Dora Akunyili of blessed memory succeeded in effecting giant strides whilst also working under several ogas at the top in a Nigerian government setting. If she aligned to ideologies like yours that good people should stay away on the other side of the fence and keep barking only without offering themselves, Nigeria would never have been blessed by her efforts. We should always encourage good people to be in govt.

King44:
I agree 100% but y would he accept a govt job if he is revealing those flaws in the budget for the right reason, I strongly believe that if he goes in there to dine with the gvt in the name of he is going there to make a change in the way budget is prepared when he gets there rather than helping us he would join them do us harm, if budgetit is meant for a just course he should stick to it for our sake plus if is looking for an alternative to make money he should delve into business alongside don't come and pull Challie Boy stunt on us

It's quite amusing and sad at the same time, how a lot of Nigerians exhibit this self-defeating mentality/ideology. We want change! we want change! Everyday we lament the lack of good people in governance. But then, when we have a 'good' person finally deciding to join governance, we mob him out of power, claiming "he wants to join them". How can our lot ever change if we constantly discourage the right people from getting anywhere close to power? How exactly do we explain this ideology?

What do we really want? Are we sure we truly don't just prefer the nincompoops to be left alone in power forever?

A lot of Nigerians are terribly toxic hypocrites. What does it matter if the girl is a prostitute? Are prostitute not humans with blood flowing through their veins? How come this story can never be discussed without people chipping in the usual hypocrisy of "they were prostitutes"?

kalu61:
and you are not interested in the allegation ?

Who really cares about some silly allegation? For all we care BudgIT has been doing a good job in the last couple of years, scrutinising budgets and exposing anomalies which have typically been inserted deliberately by criminal to steal our collective patrimony.

BudgIT does not have any control over preparation of the budget, they only expose flaws, to the benefit of all Nigerians. So tell me, why exactly should any right minded Nigerian (who is not a thief in govt) give a damn about ownership of BudgIT?... Even if it's owned by lucifer himself, who cares?

ziegurf:
......we're watching,
Yoruba: chairman
Hausa: vc
If I were Soludo I will reject this "just " membership offer...... anyway it's just you guys turn be doing anyhow in this country for now, why not Soludo: chairman or vc, what could he not have handled as chairman in that organization? Let's continue watching till 2031 presidential..... still IGBO AMAKA tukwa....!

But seriously, how do people even manage to exist with this sort of toxic mentality/ideology?... The very thing Nigerians accuse Buhari of (i.e. tribal bigotry), how exactly is that any different from this mentality you just highlighted above?

Davash222:
Nna, please be careful how you perform your tricks on the street of Lagos.
It’s called Lagos for a reason.

Lol... are you insinuating he could be mobbed one day by an ignorant crowd who may tag him a 'ritualist'?

What exactly is the crime in taking up a political appointment if a person feels he can effect positive change in the little office given to him?

Does working in govt mean a person must lick the ass of the govt?

Charles1888:
I had to create a new account for this

I don't know how to get through to my wife anymore, of which the fault is mine, when we were dating, she showed that she was committed to me and loved me wholeheartedly but I was reluctant to marry her cos she was of age, I wanted someone younger, say under 25, but something important that i have to acquire made me marry all of a sudden and she was the only one available, don't get me wrong, I loved her then, her peaceful and humble soul but for some reason I simply can't understand I felt she wasn't enough, but I was wrong, she was perfect, the best I can ever wish for and more, she is everything,

After we got married, you know newlyweds now, the quarrels about every little thing, it was much then, so this particular incident made me so worked up and angry I made a statement I shouldnt have said, during the heated argument I told her that she was never who I would have married, that she wasn't my specs, she was too old (31 lol) that if someone younger was available I wouldn't blink twice before I'll marry the person.

After saying all that, I wasn't sober about it, she held on to that statement, I knew she cried that night, since then we don't talk, play, gist anymore, we became distant, though I apologised the next morning but things isn't just the same anymore, communication isn't there, she only talks to me when she wants to ask or say necessary things, nothing more, though she still cooks, we still have sex, infact every other aspect is fine except for communication, anytime I come back from work and I'm in the sitting room, she doesn't stay there, she either goes to the room or dinning room, I have begged and begged and I don't want to involve third party cos I obviously caused this, when she got pregnant, she didn't tell me till I saw the strip, when I asked why she said she forgot, and we had plans to celebrate when she takes in, I was sad that day, I begged and asked to tell me anything she wants and I'll do it, I'll make it up to her,,she said she wants nothing that she is fine, I love her, she is my baby, we use to be gist buddies, I missed that and I want it back.

I don't know what to do anymore, it's my fault I know that and I'm sorry I ever said that cos it hurt her deeply, I told her to tell me more evil things so that we will be even, she said she can't that she loves me, we are drifting apart, I can feel it,

Pls help me folks, I came here becos I want anonymous advise, what else can I do to make the hurt go away?

Truth of the matter is that by your statement, you completely murdered the trust she has in you. She may continue to 'act' normal doing stuff like cooking, cleaning, sex etc, but the truth is that you have just afflicted her with a terrible paranoia which will continue to eat her up slowly, and which may eventually kill off any iota of love she has for you.

The situation isn't irredeemable though, but the solution isnt going to be a day's job. It's also not going to simply just involve talking to her or getting anyone to talk to her, cos she would never easily trust anything you say henceforth. She's quiet and withdrawn now because she feels depressed and betrayed and she feels she may have entered a 'one-chance' marriage. You need to change that narrative with actions, not words. Before now, tou might have told her you loved her and she believed you easily, but with your terrible punch, she wouldnt believe words anymore.

The solution lies in you giving her full assurance afresh. You need to rewind things and start treating her exactly the way you would when you first met her (and that means also giving her the treatment as if to say she was the under-25 you desired). In summary, you need to woo her afresh.

Lol... how did this get to the public space?...

lilbest4:
That boys also watch this conglomeration of wh0res and lazy men lazying about in an uncompleted building explain perfectly why we will never go forward in Africa. A society where boys are foolish never move forward

The funny thing is, the real foolish ones are actually those who think others are being foolish simply for watching an entertainment show on tv; the foolishness in thinking they are smarter than some others simply because they dont watch a certain tv show, that's some grand folly!

Much ado over nothing... The person in question has verifiable qualifications which are clearly higher than the so called result being pursued. But as usual, black man only knows how to spend time and resources chasing nonsense.

FarahAideed:
Simply Buhari never won that election !!!!! He never won it

Wonderful! Assuming free and fair circumstances, you really do think that Atiku and PDP won the 2019 election? You really believe those figures circulated from the purported server?

The return of post-study work visas. Thunder fire Theresa May and Cameron.

GMbuharii:
Hop you know obailala is a known zmb and anti ipob and pro buhari?

Check his history and free your life from ipobphobia

Zomb kill you there!!

"This is certainly because the Hausa-Fulanis in collaboration with the Yorubas are trying to stifle the economic progress of the Nupes."

All except the 2 etched out are free to run.

Peter Obi is actually the best candidate out of that list, the rest are media noisemakers.

What exactly has Seyi's great grandfather's achievement got to do with Seyi?

Wonderful!

Nigerian politics, never a dull moment

This idiot is back to facebook again.

Na this one be the governorship candidate?

When someone yesterday tagged the reprisal attackers who burnt a police vehicle as "criminals", a lot of mumus on this forum called out the MoD for calling them criminals; saying they were just angry people. Issorait... Even the most educated amongst us can expose their inherent foolishness when angry.

oz4real83:
It is not everytime you reveal your pains or losses to your enemies. It is wise to play "strong" to your enemies sometimes even in the face of pain, just to deceive him. Lai Mohammed has always been known to display high level of indiscretion when it matters most. I can't easily forget when he said Senegalese jollof was better than Nigerian jollof in the face of international lime-light. These people are clowns!!!

Cutting yourself to spite your face is pure stupidity. That one is angry doesnt make stupidity to be wisdom. Lai Mohd is right on this one. It is foolishness for Nigerians to go about burning mtn or shoprite outlets when 90% of these assets in Nigeria are owned by Nigerians, and when 99% of those whose jobs will be affected are Nigerians.

Black man and his love for destruction! When will the black man ever have sense?

stormborn28:
it is not stupidity ...it makes both government act

Destruction of properties under any guise is plain stupidity.

It doesn't matter whether it's in retaliation or whatever. The south african owners of businesses like shoprite, mtn multichoice etc are obviously the elite (probably even white) who are also hated by those same xenophobic south africans. Again, mtn, shoprite and co might be foreign owned businesses, but their Nigerian subsidiaries are largely owned and operated by Nigerians; also, 97% of their staff are Nigerians.

So anyone who thinks burning shoprite or vandalising mtn Nigeria facilities in Nigeria is a sensible retaliation against those riff raffs on the streets of SA, such a person is just being dumb.

lekzhortin:
Pls OP becareful of ur language.why would u use "criminal" for protesters ..

South Africans are burning Nigerian properties and attacking Nigerians in South Africa while Nigerians in Nigeria are burning Nigerian police vehicles as retaliation.

Those people the Op referred to as 'criminals' and which you prefer to be called 'protesters', I think the best name for them should be 'IDIOTS'

TriggerHappi:
Dude we need to send a message to the South Africans that Nigerians are not cowards and they don't have monopoly over violence... MTN like most South Africa companies make larger chunk of their profits from Nigeria if we hit them hard, they'll fall hard. Let us be proud of being called a Nigerian for once.

And why tag them criminals, they're patriots!

I may not know the best way Nigerians should respond to these acts of barbarism, but one thing I know for sure is that burning police vehicles, shoprite or mtn facilities in Nigeria will be a show of stupidity.

Bialegend:
My fren, your zoo should pay up. Westerners don't indulge on sentiments. You owe them and you must pay. No amount of paid/sponsored protesters with thousands of placards can stop your zoo from paying up. We are in a capitalist world. By the way, how many of the hypocrite protesters has the British police and army shot so far?

The opinion of an ipobian; no common sense expected as usual.

ChiefkeefGB4:
They should pay, see why here
https://www.nairaland.com/5394302/nigerian-politicians-us-pay-9.6

...I struggle to see the sense in the link you posted. So you think if Nigeria pays the money, it will be from the pockets of those politicians listed?

Humans can sometimes be bizarrely complicated animals. Just out of hatred for Buhari, there're full blooded Nigerians who actually want the FG to pay $9bn to the UK.

If Nigeria was a serious country with sane leaders (and followers), something very serious should have been done already about the menace of Dangote trucks.
