The boldness and audacity with which these Nigerian politicians spit on the masses faces is really mind blowing.

They look at you eye ball to eye ball and yet mock you so hard, and they are aware that you know they are mocking you, but they derive some kind of fetish pleasure knowing that they can do that to you and nothing's gonna happen....spits..

How can Amaechi be saying shit like that to the masses when he is aware they know he is a typical example of the character he is painting to them...

Mama peace and Ateke Tom are Wike's godfathers.
There are local power players in Kaduna and Sokoto who you don't
hear about. Tambuwal and Elrufai will become big godfathers when their tenure ends.

Obaseki will certainly become a godfather if he wins the second term.

Mama peace I can agree to a little extent, but Ateke Tom? Na na not at all. There is difference btwn political strong backers and godfathers. Godfathers dictate to you what you should and should not do and you have little or no say to challenge whatever position or decision they take on your behave, because they have substantial political and financial strength/structure on ground to kick you out of power or make your governance miserable if you go against their bidding, they are very difficult to defeat, unless you are also very grounded or have some special love from someone bigger than them somewhere, a typical example is Tinubu in Lagos, also Obasanjo to Jonathan, late pa adedibu of Oyo state etc. While political strong backers are people that hold your own political structures in place( note : your own political structure, not theirs) to ensure you always have your way in exchange for huge financial and political rewards to them, it's more like a mutual dependency when it comes to political strong backers, they do not decide or run your government for you, they only ensure you have it smooth in the state in exchange for huge favors from your government, bulk of the decisions in governance is made by you in this case, they only appeal to you where they will like their way to be considered, you can fight them or fallout with them and still survive politically, unlike in godfatherism where you are just a stooge. Ateke can never be wike's godfather, he is at best a political strong backer, maybe Mama peace to a little extent could be a godfather. I agree, tambuwal and el-rufai can become godfathers after their tenures.Pardon my long write up.

ivolt:
You cannot separate party politics from godfather(s).
Every state has godfathers.

Abeg who be wike, tambuwal, el-rufai God fathers

Politicians always claiming to know better when out of power...

Remi tinubu was very rude, undisciplined and disrespectful to her colleague. Irrespective of what crime the guy has committed, you don't talk to your fellow senator like that, he is not your kid or errand boy. Threatening to suspend him? Rudely commanding him to turn off his mic so you can finish with insulting him? Very foolish and uncultured woman.

I think this is the first time nigerians are standing against a politician,,,,it will be a good thing if the do it consistently against all the politicians found guilty of corruption too

My dear, don't be elated yet. This one na small boy, him na upcoming politician, him no get weight, him no get level and him no get connect, that is why them fit do all this to him.
Make dem do am to all this big wigs money bags politicians wey dey steadily molest people everywhere every time, then I go know sey we don dey mature.
There are many cases of big shot politicians ordering boys to beat up someone in public and even when the case was reported to the police with witness testimonies, the police will ask you whether you no get sense? abi u no know who u dey report so? U no like urself?

Sonnobax15:
This is one reason why the whites always refer to we blackz as apes..

Yes, I agree with you. Whites always refer to us as apes because to them moral decency is an animalistic behavior while moral decadence is civilization to them.

The oil well was the corner stone

Actually, it is the only stone, other investments are just icing on the cake.

Rules and principles must be adhered to by all in a society, irrespective of age , class , affiliation or political status. This is the only way a society can maintain social and moral decorum.

Why do past governors always want to control the political and executive affairs of their states even to the detriment of the present governor.

Okay sir.... The house is a bungalow, so i think the mast will be high enough...

Make sure you get the diesel supply contract and make sure you get connected to the power supply. These in the long run will prove more profitable to your family than even the contract money.

First of all, 5million for 5 years is terrible, pls find out what you truly should be paid. Secondly, make sure as part of the agreement that your family is given the diesel supply contract for the generators, thirdly, make sure you get power supply from the generator to your home(though this is not compulsory, but can be done through kind negotiation), all these advise is from experience, I have seen Telecom mast hosts who have them all. As for the health hazard, it is true that there is radiation, this is common science, all the rays that travel to the mast from users build up in the sorounding receivers to form a radiation cloud, but if the mast is high enough then you don't have to worry because it disperses before it can get to you below. Cheers.

Then why is it a crime to practice Christianity in Saudi Arabia and hardcore Arab countries. Reverse and issue your warnings in favour of Christianity to those countries

My brother, Saudi Arabia is even too far. You should ask him why people's shops in some states in the north are constantly invaded with the full backing of the state government and all the alcoholic drinks in them are destroyed just because they claim Islam is against alcohol, meanwhile Nigeria is not an Islamic country and there is freedom of religion in Nigeria.

sulasa07:
Are we in Saudi Arabia

You are not in Saudi Arabia yet you invade people's shops and destroy drinks worth millions of naira because you claim it is alcoholic drinks and not acceptable in Islam. If a whole state government can do this in a state where you have multiple religion and freedom of religion then why do you dictate to a private institute how it should run its private institution? If you don't like the rules there, you simply get out. You cannot come to someone's private property and begin to dictate to him or her how to use it or run it. It's that not simple enough?

But Buhari never attended any Federal executive council meeting during President Jonathan's regime even though he was still been paid his full entitlement as an ex head of state yet no body queried him, so why is he now disturbing another ex leader for not attending a ceremonial event?

Pls, nairaland moderators, you guys really in all seriousness of purpose need to upgrade your standards, I mean what kind of post is this? and what is the purpose for bringing it to FP? What are you trying to achieve? Or is nairaland now a trash land?

Lagos of violence

This man always sounds like a competent and well thinking leader. Hope he truly is.

Awoo88:
Nice one the idiot blackmailer will be dieing of frustration right now

There was never a blackmailer my brother, it's all publicity stunts and a rite of passage into the Illuminati. I don't know if you will understand this, it's actually deep.

3rdavefarms:
Ilumminati first step

Very very few persons if any at all, will understand this fact you just stated.

I wonder why they always use nudity leak and another is claim of female domestic violence/divorce( claim of been battered by their husband/boyfriend and hence divorce) as the first step to their initiation rites.

frankblinkz:
that's while I don't stop advising my sis...
I can't hold her but I never cease to caution her as my junior,and I'm delighted she's not the type that flaunt nudity.
Our girls needs to learn.
it starts from we guys talking to them or stop praising their nudities on social media and in real life too

Very well said.

alexvic12:
Good


First FTC ever.
God knows even this principal cannot dampen my joy today! I will teach the kids with smiles ehh

Thumbs up!!! That's the spirit. Way to go bro.

golddeejay:
But Abraham was a pious man, according to your religion book. Anyone should be proud to be called that ...

, Yes true.

I think it's about the name Abraham, which means "father of many" , not Abraham's life style.

Some past life actions has a way of hunting you even when you've changed. That's why these present crop of youths and social media nudists are always advised to be careful, to avoid regrets and indelible stigmas that may hunt them tomorrow.

Glink2018:
Including the eediot that I quoted. Are you not wicked? I know you.

I will not boost your personality and self esteem by exchanging chats with you.

It will take me light years to travel from my level in life to your level below, and I'm not ready to take that trip.

So I'll just ignore and pass.

Everybody shouts God God in Nigeria, yet the evil in their hearts is unprecedented.

Very religious yet wicked people.

safarigirl:
Society is still dictating to people and telling them who they are, society has just changed requirements and widened the scope of judges.

Today, society is dictating that virginity is outdated and acceptance is only based on your willingness to have sex out of wedlock. Society is telling you if you aren't clubbing and smoking, then you aren't living life. Society is telling you that being a babymama is fine, and people should not be held accountable for their actions.

Today, society is glorifiying criminality because the government and politicians have made things 'difficult'. Today, society is telling women the skimpier the clothes and the lighter their shades, then the easier they can be accepted. Society is telling women that theie bodies are ugly and they need to constantly change it for the approval of men, society is spreading the belief that old age is unnatural, that every sign of aging is like a disease that must be cured by surgery or 'skin care'. Society is telling women that their vaginas are more important than their brains, and telling men that you don't need to be a human being, as long as you have money.


Society is selling depression in large doses.People are feeling sad, people feel unwanted, people feel pressured to be who they are not, to please people who don't care about them. Yes, this generation is having such a great time with civilization. Peep the suicide figures for a greater appreciation of modernity

I will beg God to forgive any misdeeds you may have just simply because of this post. Very intelligent, articulate and perfect for the intended reply. Thank you.

It is always about their interest, never about the country or the masses.

We wish you all the best.

Provided they will ban Muslims from praying on roads, ban the morning disturbance that they call morning prayer, ban covering of faces like masquerade so that everyone can be identified as is done in civilized nation's for security purposes, ban any form of religious clothing in institutions like schools, law schools, hospitals, companies, ministry etc, ban loudspeakers from disturbing public, then the law is ok, otherwise it's just an Islamic law by an Islamic extremist targeting Christians.
