APC has failed on the three main promises.... Security, job creation, corruption
Before insecurities is in one zone in the north, now we have killings in all the northern zones... Saraki, also millions of job are lost

What legislative bill did your nass pass to contribute it's own quota and what oversight function or proposition did you put to the executive to help security, purchase of arms approval or welfare? (no be bubu dey increase all the security personnel salaries now) job creation what are you people doing paying yourselves N14m per month and riding in a convoy of 16 cars, all the worth of those cars can create employment and help create another financial economic sphere- corruption, but you have circumvented the cct and changed the laws with your nass - you people aid those that are supposed to manage the resources allocated to them, from the treasury - by requesting for employment slots - contracts from the agencies they oversight - making and changing laws to suit their own peculiar wants - nonsense everywhere!!!

So if you did, commit the offence- the defense is, because you are number 3 - you shouldn't be investigated or charged bah? - what makes you better then any of us? - you have one head we have one head - you are in a place of responsibility to your people but you now think you are above the law and your people should worship you bah? or what applies to common citizens should not apply to you because you hold a legislative office, office where you are just representing people - not executive O!

Nigeria, a country where money is derived from oil in the east, but spent in the west and the north.

Please educate yourself properly the cardinal points are NORTH - SOUTH - EAST and WEST how much oil reserves does the east have and how much does the south have and the west? - apart from orient oil which other oil exploration company is present in the east? Doesn't that indicate the reserves in the east are next to nothing- Compare it with those in the other to regions west and south- where Forte oil, addax, Mobil, chevron, agip, shell, oando, connoil etc to mention a few, or when did the south south become east?

Nigerian singer, Mr. 2kay has reiterate that he is the father of Gifty’s child, Alisha after the reality star denied claims that the singer is the father of her daughter.

We earlier reported that the singer shared a post on his Instagram page to celebrate Alisha on her 1st birthday, which initially gave the confirmation that he fathered the child with the actress.

However, Gifty denied claims that Mr. 2kay is the father of her baby, saying that only a mother knows the real true identity of her child’s father.

Reacting to the claims, Mr 2Kay who insisted that Gifty’s child belongs to him, added that ‘DNA is too true to tell a lie’.

See his post below;

Then that means all the aspirants are all illiterates - I don't know if you have heard their promises, especially when they don't have the power to legislate laws- they want to restructure nigeria, which we all want but they have forgotten where the powers of the president stops, moreso he the president swears to protect and uphold the constitution -

The move by the presidency is a wrong move...use the money to create and improve the level playing ground for industries to work again so that jobs will come back....the idea of sharing it to traders is a double eged sword.....if the scheme is full of fraud, they should scrap it..lots of people are already complaining of been short changed.... Anyway , its not 2015 anymore where they used the change mantra to deceive so many people...this is 2019, the narrative has changed and there is a strong paradigm shift now to been wise ....Its not gonna be a smooth ride for APC this time around....

And that would mean the govt is doing the same thing they have been doing over the past 16yrs, prior to this administration - let's be honest if we have been doing something, in a particular way and we are not getting the required answer, which has been evident enough - do we still continue along that trajectory? Or twerk the situation and see if it works? I still insist- it is fellow nigerian's like you and I, that are taking advantage of a good policy and turning it on its head for their personal benefit- well truth be told - we can only see or view matters from positions that are available to us- even when there is evidence that they are trying to do something different, i am not saying you should take the FG position, but put yourself in osinbajo or bubu's shoes - bear in mind they are trying to develop or empower the masses, the larger populace - as against less then 50,000 that would have shared the money or the system that would have consumed the funds under the term processes, or pilot schemes- involved in implementing - to further emphasize these matters, facts don't lie, check the economic implications or effects of this so called wasteful spending on the economy- at this period without getting the facts and details - we can see, even if we can't feel it immediately, inflation is supposed to skyrocketed based on prices of staple food items, moreso it's supposed to be crazily high but as small as it looks - that trader moni has buffered our local economy and a structure is being worked around it - nipost microfinance banks - that also tells you it is working somehow and it would take time for the effect to be felt- this is my personal opinion - I maybe wrong, but I know it is a departure from the past- I didn't want to join the debate of the growth rate of 6% compared to the 1.8% now - but let me say this our economy is largely oil based -increase on oil prices in the international market would reflect on the growth of the economy- and a reduction vice versa, so no figure works independently - same with inflation - this happens when much money is chasing fewer goods- don't you think the previous statistics are faulty because right now where is the money talkless of excess money chasing fewer goods- it's simple facts and figures, that's why I said NOI was doing abracadabra because then there was so much money chasing few goods, which is evident in subsidies that were paid to people for lifting and importing sand and water just to mention 1

Autonomy for states and local govts the current administration is already on it- the discussion of decentralization of police this NASS lead by shataki- just paid lip service to it, because it's on the exclusive list, just like the sham they call power sector privatization (which centralizies all power generated and redistribution, a simply private sector monopoly, oligopoly which cannot be terminated, because it's not simply enough as to have alternative power wires running our streets and entering our houses like communication - wickedness in high places, the pdp didn't stop there, they went ahead and signed an agreement that FG cannot terminate a sale they made, even if the investors are not providing the required level of service- to make matters worst, the other party does not need to invest a single pin into the agreement, because the FG also created a funding arrangement with the cbn and banks to fund this agreement) - Resource management, the current administration is putting all the modalities up to back it up- finally this administration is running a socialist oriented administrative style - the pdp sold nigeria - they were running a capitalist style (they have forgotten that the average nigerian is greedy - they prefer their personal satisfaction to that of the generality and that is why a few people became super rich while majority wallowed in extreme penury)

A scheme that is already marred by fraud.,...if only you know the shenanigans going on behind that scheme, you will be like oh my world APC! What figures are you mentioning that trader moni has contributed to the nations GDP? Don't make me laugh o.....so 1.81% GDP in 3.5 years is a beautiful achievement to you abi? You are given trader moni while food inflation just increased to 13.30%, inflation increased to 11.28% . you are giving trader moni , Nigeria is the capital of the world's poorest countries....A position Nigeria has never attained before....And you are there telling me that the VP has been visiting the local people...who those visit eep na if you place this in juxtaposition with the above statistical figures I reeled out.....November was the highest ever seen that the capital flight left Nigeria ...why are these caputal flights leaving Nigeria? Its because, the economy is not favourable to those foreign investors....so my good friend, you don't nerd to enlighten me...The figures coming out from the nation's statistical department about the Nigerian economy is appalling and abysmal and please don't come telling me its because of 16 years o that we are having such figures....otherwise you will need to compare the figures then and now and be the judge..And more so who the blame game tactics of APC eep na? So you coming to tell me about trader moni as a huge APC achievement is just very funny. Trader moni is simply a vote buying mechanism....

Very interest opinion- but you have forgotten the most important thing- the govt came up with an idea to create a N20b economy - some nigerian's, the usual culprits responsible for taking advantage of any good idea- just like those that call people and scam them by requesting for their bvn's or those that tell people to send the pin's are always on the prowl, I want to ask you a simple question and I want you to give me a honest reply - is it the president or VP that is directly responsible for this disbursement or fellow nigerians like you and I? Note- the FG intention is to create a N20b economy around the looted and repatriated funds

I would like to ask this simple question- did the political party hold a primary? That was observed by inec as either the ameachi faction or Abe faction? - if Yes! The court does not have the right to say one party cannot field any candidate in the 2019 election, since they are not the electoral umpire- the court has over stepped it's bounds by meddling with the internal working of the party and as such if this goes to the Supreme Court it would be thrown out for lack of judicial responsibility

A conference has no place in our constitution so it/they are powerless - it's just a place where people come together and talk- they can't usurp the power of the legislator - and whatever they recommend can only be sent to the executive that inaugurates them- which would in turn send their recommendations as an executive bill to the Nass for debate and or, legislation - and I haven't come across any legislator that would legislate on a bill sent by another body with the "same kind of representation"

How many federal ministries or MDA's, have open books to look at even with the freedom of information act, and these people don't have anything like autonomy like the states- how many states have opened their books or have their budgets online, for people to look at and scrutinize like lagos? - stop trying to be politically right - follow the the budget then the income (or what is available) and follow the expenditure - if the state books are not open the world bank would never - I repeat never, borrow the state money to fund various projects world bank projects - but wait O!
