trash! If the pdp in Katsina presents a credible Hausa-Fulani man as governorship candidate, the people will vote for him if they prefer him to the apc candidate. Same applies to rivers. The ex governor, senators, reps, assembly members were all of the apc. APC would put up a good show in rivers state anytime. Rivers is not Obio akpor alone, where all the IPOB touts live. So stop f00ling yourself.

He said "RIG" and not credible election. Take sense!

ikwubaba:
So you didn't know Katsina had a PDP governor? You must be high on something. The people of River state are not fixated on any party. Thay can change anytime. Else, why the election at all?

The watch word there is "RIG". Can you then name the PDP governor that was rigged into office in Katsina?

texazzpete:
But your hero GEJ had an information minister, then Doyin Okupe, Abati and Reno Omokri, all used to disseminate information.

What are you calling him, too?

Focus on the issue that is being discussed. The thread is talking about Buhari and not Jonathan!

MKO4ever:
The reality is that at the moment, Nigeria does not have the capacity to support foreign education. Those who can afford it should continue, but Nigeria can no longer subsidize foreign education at this moment.
Next will be medical bill (just watch out)

Go back and read again before displaying your poor comprehension skill.

Oya, quote that one too

I no get your time Ab¤ki... Zzzzz

Calling names is a sign of shallowness and callowness and I will not dignify your stereotypical insanity.

Mr lecturer, we still got more space below so add yours n don't quote me.

Thank you

"Mr Corruption Fighter", the cyberspace is not your exclusive preserve. Deal with the truth - it hurts so badly!

Swallow your lies and deceit and get lost!

I can see how the truth hurts and burns. Get lost hypocrite!

Corruption is the reason why pdp could never defeat boko haram. All funds were diverted to private pockets.

Corruption is the major factor why pdp could never construct any new road in its entire 16yrs of leadership

Corruption is the reason why none of our universities are in the top 100 universities in the world

Corruption is the reason why almajiri's are in the streets begging, 50million are living in poverty and over 20million youth are without jobs at home doing nothing....

Need I go on? Like Mr President said, it is either we kill corruption or corruption will kill us. No matter the wonderful ideas or policies govt may have, corruption will rubbish it completely!

Can corruption kill corruption? Don't be deceived, PDP and APC are all corruption personified including your "Mr. President".

Tell him to build strong institutions that are liberalised and truly independent and see if corruption will not drop drastically.

Topestbilly:


Why do people relate anything Northerner to Islam?

In dis case it's the negligence from their leaders, which they have neglected their responsibilities to develop dis part of the country upon their dominance in government

And the youths are not helping matter with their "Baba say".. until the youths wakes-up by stop worshipping their leaders am afraid nothing will change.

Don't know much about their culture but ignorance is playing a big role on this population matter.

Leave Islam out of it.

Learn to know the difference between a question asked and a categorical statement made.

Adminisher:
This article needs an intellectual to understand. You are a tape recorder programmed to type those six words.
" the bureaucracy lacks depth". Do you understand what that means?. GEJ stripped the civil service of ability to function as the FG was completely privatised. I know for instance that Okonjo was working with only international consultancy companies throughout -like Mckinsey whilst turning the bureaucracy to mere file pushers. Jonathan's government also stripped the ministries of files and key information. Buhari is actually building a government from the scratch.

As you rightly said, every well written article needs intellectual capacities to understand.

However, it is a pity that you too did not understand it from the skewed interpretation you provided. What you quoted was from a senior Government source and not the submission of the report.

The reporter is only saying that Buhari's grand policy of reform is fading with a disfunctional bureaucracy and an increasingly centalized power in his remote presidency. This can be found in the summary of the report.

Whether the reporter is right or not is another line of argument.

I hope this will help.

Hmmm. Comprehension problem at play. kind refer the passage to the originating journalist or the OP and suggest your own title to them. you never can tell, they may be open to use a title that will make u happy.

Yes, there is a very big comprehension problem at play here and whether the title makes me happy or not is inconsequential.

I will like you to follow these lines of thought logically. Did the report establish whether there was a protest? Yes, it did. Can same be said about the existence of the "Governor's perfume" levy? No, it only alleged. Mind you, I am referring to the submission of the reporter and not the opinions expressed by some of the protesters.

What you should fear for is the poor level of Reading Comprehension.

JingoOAU:
It was written by Punch newspaper and not the Nation Newspaper....

Or APC has taken ownership of Punch?

By the way, it's too early for these women to protest naa...afterall, it's just perfume....he will soon tax them to fund his children's marriages

The headline is different from the submission of the reporter. Below is the summary of the report by the reporter which is clearly stated in the the first paragraph.

HUNDREDS of women from Mile Three Market in Diobu, Port Harcourt marched to the Government House in Port Harcourt in protest against an alleged multiple taxation, which includes a tax for governor’s perfume.

The report only alleged which is different from what the headline painted. I hope you can now see why the headline is fallacious?

9jatriot:
On what basis are you laying ur fake accusation? As d journalist dat created d story ornas the OP. kindly explain.

Find below the summary of the report by the reporter:

HUNDREDS of women from Mile Three Market in Diobu, Port Harcourt marched to the Government House in Port Harcourt in protest against an alleged multiple taxation, which includes a tax for governor’s perfume.

What do you make out of this or they were written by me?

carinmom:
It still doesn't change the fact that Jonathan is an Ineffectual Buffoon

What fact are you referring to? I guess it is the kind you reel out of your local parlance to maturbate your euphoria.

IyaIode:
Jonathan was real ineffectual buffon

Can you tell us how you arrived at this from this report?

9jatriot:
Journalist everywhere decide what aspect of the story to focus on and make news out of it. continue displaying your comprehension problem.

In this case, you are the one that is deceived by your poor reading and comprehension skills. The reporter clearly stated his findings in his summary. It is your cup of tea to accept whatever you like including this headline that does not in anyway reflect the submission of the reporter. An alleged case can never be an established fact.

9jatriot:
Look at the bolded.

HUNDREDS of women from Mile Three Market in Diobu, Port Harcourt marched to the Government House in Port Harcourt in protest against an alleged multiple taxation, which includes a tax for governor’s perfume.

What is wrong with the emboldened if it is not a statement by one Gift?

The emboldened above is the summary of the entire report by the reporter. It never established the existence of any "Governor’s perfume". It only alleged it.

I hope this helps so that you will not easily be deceived by mischievous headlines like this one

kaeforum:
The women protested yesterday , the issues are real, the touts inthe market are simply exploiting these women in the name of the gov.

His silence makes him suspect, maybe you dont live in ph.

It may be true that some women in Port Harcourt protested over multiple taxation but the report never established the existence of any "Governor’s perfume" that the headline want us to believe. The report only alleged.

9jatriot:

The emboldened stated above is the summary of the entire report by the reporter. To you, an alleged "Governor’s perfume" has become an established case. This is really pathetic and goes a long way to underscore your poor level of comprehension. The report never established the existence of any "Governor's perfume" that the headline mischievously tried to paint. It only alleged. I hope this will help.

The headline is as useless as a tissue of lies. There is no correlation between it and the body of the report. Op, try to use your common sense next time.

tsdarkside:
all nations have to take loans to finance projects....all...

nigerias own is realy not that bad...

and because of obansanjo,we have a good reputation of paying back our debts....

My argument is not on taking loan or not. Rather, it is on diverting loans taken on behalf of a nation. If you are ready to tell me what our debt profile has translated into, then, you are welcomed. If you want to derail my argument, you may continue in your folly.

tsdarkside:
pahh...you think the ones that america owes,will not come one day for thier money??,,,

guy,,,,give me a break.....

nigeria is certainly not america,but we are not that underdeveloped like sudan....

remember??...nigeria is the giant of africa.....that is not just a paper-title..

or you want to tell me that nigeria surpass south-africa only in paper??...

look,the fact is nobody can live on debt,not even a nation like america...

rom was destroyed because their was no money left to pay their allies and military.....

I don't understand your argument. Are you against Nigeria's debt burden or you are justifying it? So, what are you saying?

tsdarkside:
america has 17trillion dollar debt...how about that??....

i still dont understand,that someone believes,living on dept is okay....

it doesnt make sense!!!...

one day the ones that you owe will come for their money!!!....

we nigerians know,what type of drama that is.....

Enough of this gibberish about comparing Nigeria to America. In the US, you can visibly identify the numerous infrastructural developments that account for the debt profile you ignorantly referred to. Can you then show us the infrastructures that make up these mountainous debts in Nigeria?

oyinkinola:
...and you have long one!
here is a theory on how ₦=$ can you proof me wrong.
....there are very many commentary on depreciation of ₦ nowadays expecially in parallel market, although parallel or black market can be manipulated by the traders, they either do it on their self interest, so those who doesn't beleive in the prosperity of nigeria can harbour $ as they can on imported goods hereby cause hike!
But in my own point of view the depreciation of ₦ is a great success to this nation if well manage to nigeria situation today. the looted fund is in $ and it must be refunded back in $, so if $1 is ₦198 when the money is looted, then if the money is refund today at $1 to ₦350 the nation has gained ₦152!
imagine if $1=₦1000, the gain is ₦902!
So in conclusion if the government managed to refund the $trillion looted and the refunded money, change it in parallel market, this will reduce the pressure on ₦ and the scarcity of $ in parallel market so the ₦=$.

(take note all the money took out of CBN during jonathan regime were changed in parallel market before ditributed)

you have other opinion?

Which Government will recover the looted funds? Is it this one that was sponsored by looted funds from Amaechi and co?
You masturbate about Jonathan's Government and pretend not to see corruption in Obasanjo's Government. What was Obasanjo's worth before 1999 and what is his worth today? How did he did become so rich?

doctokwus:
Don't know the brand of ogogoro some of these ND people even take that distorts their senses.
They just end up giving the good ones bad names.
Why can't this dimwit tell Tompolo to submit himself to court.This is d way they have allowed touts and militants become their leaders while good,honest,dedicated men waste away.

Are you better off?

alrahmanonline:
inside your fair mind, you know that the rivers state election was terribly rigged and full of violence, forget about party and say the truth as it is for once..

Show me the State whose election was not rigged. Is it the underage voting in the North or the non-valid vote recorded in Kano that is an epitome of free and fair elections?

alrahmanonline:
@ Op no matter how true your opinion may be, i wish to inform you that you've just earned yourself thorough Weekend bashing of life, So stay put while you have your helmet on... Cos you'll recieve a hell of attack from them... i no mention names o, Ehn ehn..

Your support for this shallow line of reasoning is ridiculed on the altar of wholesomeness. If it is true that the Supreme Court judgement on the subject matter was substantially biased to reflect the political party that appointed the judges, can same be said and established about the Appeal Court judges that gave your darling APC a clean bill? Let us try not to see things from our political inclination only.

johnmartus:
but he is nigeria

Is he more Nigerian than you?

PentiumPro:
We are talking about provision of 24hrs electricity supply to Nigeria, far and wide. It takes a lot of money in investment.
I bought my first MTN line for N27K, even with all the teething ache in the industry then, that same line is just now about N150.
You will never make an omelette without breaking a egg.

Yes, we want a 24 hour electricity supply but never to be funded by the poor for the very rich who own the gencos and the discos. Will they also share the ownership with the poor after our money has been used to expand and upgrade the facilities?

You buying your first MTN line for N27K is a typical example of the unethical behaviour you are subscribing to again. Yea, to make omelette, you must break egg. For our power supply industry to work, the real professionals and investors must be allowed. You can never get a different result when you keep repeating the same strategy.
