briefness:
Indeed, we are in a political era and a lot will be done to attract attention. However is received has to be reviewed objectively. This also I must admit, will be very difficult depending on political inclination, grudges held and other factors.

First and foremost, the audio recording was in a very relaxed environment with all the laughter and giggling. It was a careless speech. Though not expected from highly placed people as such could be used for different purposes. Such speeches normally contains exaggerations, generalisation and being incoherent.

President does not listen to anybody. This is generalisation. How can this be in the context used when he has been accused severally of not being in charge and being controlled by the ''cabal''. If indeed he is being controlled by the cabal, it means he only listens to them and does their bidding. Embarking on medical trips and taking medications shows he is listening to his doctors. Not listening to anybody when not generalised could also imply firmness and not doing everybody's bidding, which of course is not possible to achieve. A leader should be firm to the extent to which he is sure that he is not making a mistake or the decision being taken is mostly right, favourably and beneficial to majority.

You can write what you want, he doesn't care. The first part should be okay and depicts freedom of expression. People should be able to express themselves to the extent that they do not infringe on another person's right. Not caring part is a bad expression about a leader. We use these expressions regularly without considering its criticality. A leader cares about all his subjects but does not get worried when unrealistic demands are being made in order to focus on realistic issues and deliver good governance.

Does he read? If he reads he will laugh.... Amaechi is not in the best position to tell whether the president reads or not. How many hours does he spend with the president in a day and how many days in a week to know his reading habit? A careless statement if taken out of context but was immediately contradicted with, 'if he reads... ' negating the impression created by the earlier question. A leader reading and tolerating negative comments is a strength but going further to immediately act on those that have some iota of relevance no matter how few goes a long way to build confidence and makes the followers feel empowered. The president failed to sign the amended electoral act. It was either he read it or others read and advised him not to sign and must have listened. Not reading and not listening will be contradictory in this situation.

This country will never change... An average Nigerian's mentality and this is quite popular. However, not expected any highly placed political office holder since the momentum of change has to be driven from that level. Again, careless statement. The country no doubt, has lost a lot of ground over the years and in an objective analysis, it will be extremely difficult to catch up with developing countries bot to talk of developed ones. Definitely not a time to give up hope, but focus and ensure good governance to drive infrastructure. A lot we need to drive infrastructure and industrial growth needs to be imported. It will be increasingly difficult as our currency continues to loose value. The need to maintain good focus to achieve the desired result. The country can change and we have to change it.

In a political era, issues like can be portrayed completely out of context to score political points. I would have bothered more if the recording was done in a serious atmosphere depicting a strategy meeting on how to rescue the nation from a president that does not listen. This obviously was not the case. Hope as well that the audio does not become a sermon.

Who told you everybody in PDP is a thief?
Not all members of Pdp is a thief or corrupt it's just that the vast majority of pdp members are
Many like Akpabio just realized this and just have to find their way to join those of like minds.

Oshigun:


Bruv, stop the mischief-making and grammer. Is this about travelling to the USA or the fact that we have a man bidding to lead Nigeria yet may be arrested for money laundering and bribe-taking if he sets foot in the USA?

Nothing worse in life than people educated expensively yet remain crooked, fraudulent, deceitful and unable to set examples for less educated and less privileged folks who hold them to higher standard.

What good is your education if you don't appreciate the wrongness of a money launderer and bribe-taker becoming the leader of the biggest black nation on earth? What does that reveal about black people and Nigerians in particular?

Atiku is a case study in the USA of harmful corruption in Africa keeping the continent down and in need of aid Countries like the USA, UK et al are now very reluctant to continue paying. David Cameron, former UK PM, once argued rhat the UK should not continue supporting Nigeria financially when we have leaders who have stolen enough to be richer than .many small nations.
