This country is toast! Such a horrible shame!

All that is left is for shekau to start backing politicians openly.

Spits.

TonyeBarcanista:
I have said repeatedly and will continue to echo that no Edo son or daughter would even dream of the fraud called Obaseki.

Ize-Iyamu is the only leader known in Edo state.



God one from the Edolite

Baba, how market. Do you still hold the same opinion?

#BREAKINGNEWS

Godwin Obaseki booed in Atlanta.

In what could be best described as a disgrace,Edo people in Atlanta storm out of a meeting with Godwin Obaseki,they came to the intercontinental buckhead hall venue of the event to hear him unveil his agenda for the Edo people and ask questions not knowing he was coming to swindle them by asking for alms as his main agenda for the meeting.Godwin had scheduled to meet Edo people in some US states to swindle them into giving him money to prosecute the September gubernatorial election and bribe voters.

he will be headed to New York,Houston and Chicago from 2-5th July to woo and dupe seemingly naive disporeans.One of the angry folks Dr Samuel Edosuyi said he had been swindled in 2009 by Mr Godwin Obaseki when he cajoled him into investing in stocks.

Dr Samuel lamented that that he hadn't gotten dividends paid since 2009 and was prepared to engage Godwin Obaseki again but was totally put off when Mr Obaseki didn't only show up late but started on a very poor note by praising the Oshiomhole government generally agreed to have been a catastrophic failure by most Edo people.He however warned others to beware of his antics and tricks as he planned to visit their respective states.

The same man is now your hero.

You people have no shame, just like our politicians.

Oh this woman should shut up already. There's no difference between you and Akpabio. You're both shameless thieves.

Nonsense.

donphilopus:
Lol. What's happening man?

Don himself. Longest time. Presume you've been well.

Corruption in the system is just sickening, worlds apart from what I expected under Buhari. So, I am considering taking a break off politics for the wellbeing of my heart.

After going through all that pain for nine months??!!

flyingpig:
How Do you expect Buhari to fight corruption when he was guided into power by fantastically corrupt men? Atiku was in his camp, saraki was in his camp, tinubu was in his camp, kwankwaso was in his camp. Will he now win election, then look round and start arresting those same powerful men who gave him victory? Is that what you expect someone who had signed oaths to do?

Signed oaths to do what? The principal oath he signed was the oath to defend the Nigerian constitution and act within it's legal framework. And his allegiance first and foremost, should be to Nigeria and not a group of *powerful persons who made him president*.

Forget stories. If you no wan work, you no wan work, period.

The position I held wasn't by promotion, but by appointment, and some persons lobbied to put me there. The same persons asked for favours which I felt ran contrary to my principles and I declined. Heaven did not fall!

We can't keep making flimsy excuses for our failures abeg.

Balenciagabrain:
if you listened to the session, you would hear her say that her father is a senator and that she is comfortable enough on her own.

Oh come on!! Spare me that. If that is the reason, why would anyone question Yosuf for owning a power bike or Kiki for owning a Spar?

They're all crooks.

Wild goose chase.

We'd only end up with another Fatouk Lawal or Stella Uduah situation in our hands.

Useless bunch of criminals. Wish I can be the president for a week.

Preposterous. The joblessness in this country is really wreaking havoc on our character.

Asslicking big men has become a full time job.

amazinghomez09:
nnn

Lol. When I get the bar, I go show.

flyingpig:
under this system, not even Jesus can save Nigeria from corruption. The structure needs to be re-constructed otherwise a mere figure head who wants to fight corruption will always fail.

Learn your lesson today. Nobody can save Nigeria from corruption until it is re-constructed (the country).

Reconstruction we all desire, yes, but I don't believe it is the panacea to fixing our endless range of problems.

Look at it this way, even when we reconstruct, those who are going to oversee the affairs of the state aren't going to be brought in from Mars, na still we naija people, and the average Nigerian seem to have this nearly uncontrollable urge to steal from the public purse when given the opportunity.

I could recollect what happened a couple of years ago, I think 2015, when we were rooting for Baba. One of the nairalanders here with whom i interact offline and who knows the nature of my work, told me something that took me aback, but i never made him/her know how i felt about his/her opinion. I work in an office where the fate of many lies in my hands and it is a place where people are constantly seeking to cut corners, and i sit right in the centre of where everyone passes through and where the OK sign is given. Women came with their bodies, men came with their monies, I could have it all!

But you know what, I did none of that and I could beat my chest anywhere I go and challenge anyone who thinks otherwise to come forward with their evidence.

It was very simply to be honest and incorruptible.

So this Nairaland friend of mine, who also was a fervent Buharist, advised I should shun all that righteousness bullshit and help myself. That me alone can't change the narrative of corruption in the country. So I wondered to myself, why would someone who's such a hardcore Buharist be advising that I engage in such? I just couldnt get it.

Now, I don't know the reason why others support Buhari as much as they did or still do, but I did for one reason ESPECIALLY- his staunch anticorruption standing!

Now, the reason why I wouldn't buy the argument no president can change the narrative is because all it takes to change that narrative is to disincentivise corruption by severely punishing errant appointees! Dem no dey tell blind man say rain dey fall bros.

In addition, if yourself, your friends, brothers and sisters, myself, etc, chose to, in our little ways (just like I explained I've been doing) choose to lead honest and corruptophobic lives, the system itself would reflect our individual attributes.

We are the problem, not the system.

Oh, so the judiciary is no longer corrupt and an arm of APC.

These politicians ehn.

Fellas, as we go about supporting one crook or another, nicknamed politician, let's bear these in mind:

1. Nobody has our interests.

2. Dealing with politicians is like sleeping with tigers; you must always have your eyes wide open.

3. In any political situation, there's always someone being used. If you can't find that person, then it is probably you.

4. Serving politicians is like being a bandage on a wound. Once the wound is healed your usefulness expires. Politicians don't recognize and reward value they recognize their own needs and you are only as useful as the lifespan of their need for you.

6. In politics never wail more than the bereaved. They will get the reward while you inherit their enemies.

7. Never cross oceans for politicians; you will drown and the best they will do is give a benevolent speech at your burial, lie to your widow and children and eat your food. Politicians will never cross the streets for their foot soldiers.

I rest my case.

flyingpig:
already tired of the tenure of your darling daddy?

I don tire jor. Stealing everywhere. Smh.

It is not about politics or any such mundane stuffs, I just HATE anything corruption. It kills a nation faster than anything else.

IgbalodeRaymond:
so you will start forking our ladies?

Abeg dey your dey
we don't want you in romance section

And nairaland is the place where people find ladies to fkck? How?

By the way, I'm way bigger than such trash. Even your sisters who've tried to get my attention around here were immediately rebuked. So, keep your fkcks, I don't and will never need them.

Simply want a place one could read things without getting irritated constantly.

Crooks probing crooks.

I hope she tells them where she got the money to build that castle where from Wike saved her soul.

2023 should be here already.

Beginning to find the Nigerian political space super irritating honestly.

Perhaps I'd simply join my old frenemy, Truckpusher, and relocate to the family and romance section.

Everything here sickens me.

The Chairman of the Committee noted that “We are recommending that these projects should be split and awarded to other companies because we don’t think Julius Berger alone, can’t handle them”.

Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

Everyone angling to fill their bellies and bank accounts and nothing else. That's the only principle that drives these people.

Nobody seems to be bothered about that gargantuan castle she has as a house.

Nigerians are not yet ready.

Everyone will take sides depending on their political persuasions.

Susu888:
e be like say na wike go chop that puna that akpabio was badly after.

Kai, Nigerians!!

Foolish goats. I hate when a people doggedly refuse to have sense.

Are they so illiterate they cant read what is being published about the NDDC? Shouldn't that be their primary concern right now?

Reading those expenditure, I felt like throwing up.

NDDC could arguably be the most corruption ridden government establishment. What a shame!

The Truth Is That Those Guys Out There Believes That, If Power Is Given To An Igbo Man, He Will Activate The Divid And Rule Game. Igbos Are Not Trusted In One Nigeria Mantra,
And Apes Obay Idiology,
The Mistakes Of The Colonal 'Masters' Is What We Are Faceing Today In One Nigeria,
But If The Power Can Go Rown, It Will Allso Remain As One.

Please desist from capitalizing each word. Makes whatever you write somewhat illegible.

Honestly couldn't read what you wrote just because of that.

realstars:
So The Point Is That P D P Is The Problame Of Igbo Not To Be President?

You can't even blame the pdp. Blame Igbos. The fate of Igbos is determined by Igbos and not any political party.

You and all the people surrounding you are mad.

Osamagioghowewi:
I m waiting for Twitter CEO respond



I Dey wait for who go criticize Nigeria as the biggest scamming nation, we still Dey learn, now because our government Dey join give us bad image

But you have no idea those behind that. What if they're Nigerians? Or you think this is too sophisticated to come from us?

If money reach me I will

Toh. It's your prerogative. Can't force you not to.

Cheers.

It's only chronic zombies like u actually believed that buhari have what it takes to fight corruption in nigeria.

Omenka go weep

Of course I'd feel hurt. I don't celebrate criminals who get away with their act.

And you shouldn't.

Atlanticfire:
It is good to live long to see people like you who refused to listen previously come to their senses.

It is quite unfortunate that you have still not realised your mistake in supporting Buhari to come to power.

When you realise that you were sold a dummy, fooled by the sw controlled media into believing that Buhari had something to offer to the nation then and only then will you not be disappointed in Buhari.

Buhari has been very honest in his words and actions. He told you that he will split the populace into 5% and 97% and he did that faithfully in his appointments and projects. He told you that a fight against boko haram is a fight against the north, he has since declared boko haram technically defeated and left them to do what they like.

He belong to the group that says Nigeria is their estate and you wonder why he should be bothered about stealing from Nigeria.

Guy wake up. Do not misplace your patriotism next time. Lots of you that supported Buhari were very patriotic unfortunately you were too naive to understand Nigerian politics, religion, nepotism and tribalism and your patriotism was used in fooling you into supporting the wrong candidate.

Let me guess, rooting for or supporting Jonathan or PDP would have been the way forward?

God forbid.

I'm not a fool not to know my right from my left. That Buhari has turned out this way doesn't negate the fact Jonathan wasn't an option, and if you think criticizing Buhari makes me sympathetic to pdp or any of their candidates, then you're sorely mistaken.

PDP still remains a useless entity to me. Make no mistakes about that.
