₦airaland Forum

I'd like to know why you christened the events of yesterday as Victory for Nigerians and gains for the PDP and SE?
In your usual bootlicking, you're quick to hail the SE just to draw any bit of support from them when they're the region with the highest number of Senate Presidents overtime...
Effective leadership should be all we crave for not partisan ish

Truth is nobody amongst us knows what transpired yesterday between the powers that be...
PDP as usual are trying to act on the emotions of the average Nigerian but I'll just say give it time, time reveals...
Nice write up Omenka

Watching

anwo247:
Buhari will have idea what democracy is all about.



Welcome our Daura President

Because he did noble by refusing to interfere with the process you call him a dullard right? Na goats like you make people like mugabe, bia and co dey hold onto power almost forever...

Real political minds won't say nothing yet, they're busy observing...The sky is still not clear enough, it might or might not rain...
In a matter of days/weeks/months we'll know more about the events of today...

Real political minds won't say nothing yet, they're busy observing...The sky is still not clear enough, it might or might not rain...

Nigerians are easily swayed by every little thing we come across...Have we really had it that bad?
A look at the comments here will tell you all you need to know about us as a people...Yes it's a welcome development to have had a leader reject the idea of security votes but is it enough to generate this new line of thought geared towards projecting the image of Kwankwasho as a mistake we made during the last elections?
If it's so, then John McCain should be the President of the USA not Obama considering his ordeal during the Vietnam war...
Yes we must applaud him but saying questions like why is he not President is outrightly wrong...

MizMyColi:

Remind me again...

Why didn't this man run for presidency?

He contested the primaries with GMB but lost out...Even Barcanista didn't support his candidature... An information like this would have done him a huge favour if it was let out during the primaries...

barcanista:
For the first time since Feb 15, 2015 Omenka commented without abusing me. I hope we get better with time.

The truth is that nobody is securing anything. The Governors by themselves allocate such ridiculous amount. Sadly, no section of the constitution made provision for it

Rephrased...
For the first time since Feb 15, 2015 you're opening a nonpartisan thread devoid of hate, half truth, ethnocentrism etc

I have been telling ppl for so long that there is no miracle buhari or anyone can perform with the current system of politics in nigeria. The problem isn't gej,tinubu or amaechi , the problem is the system of politics and society that produces these leaders. The leaders produced are the direct expression of the system and people. They are simply products of the system . And we are the system , as long as a governor candidate keeps spending as much as 6 to 10 billion just to win an election ,this sort of looting will continue ,as long as ppl keep collecting rice ,recharge card,fufu and 5000 to vote for candidates,these sort of looting will continue. This has nothing to do with party lines, apc senator and reps do collect jumbo pay packages with their pdp counterparts and they have never said it is too much. Politics in nigeria is a big time multi billion naira industry,where the amount u invest in will 90% determine how big your profit will be. During the last apc primaries in lagos ,delegates were given 5000 dollars each and some even collected more like 8000 dollars to vote for various candidates ,where did the money come from ?definitely from sources like this, Same with pdp also. So the solution is for the educated ppl to join politics and mobilise the grassroot against such practices or to start a pressure group which will be demanding for transparency and accountability from elected leaders. This security vote issue is just a minute tip of the ice berg, what about local govt funds and derivation fund

I've noticed you, you've been making intelligent submission for some time now...BRAVO!
I once said that the term " Politics is a dirty game" is a ploy to dissuade sane minds from presenting themselves for leadership positions...We just have to get in and make things work...

With this knowledge now, do you still crave for 100% resource control knowing that our leaders are thieves?
You should tow this line if you want to be taken seriously, we should try as much as possible to hold our leaders accountable...

Patriotic indeed...Wonder what has changed, you once opined that GMB is the best man for the job...

barcanista:
Nigerians are rooting for Hon Dogara and Bukola Saraki for Speaker and SP respectively.

Tomorrow will decide

Speak for your miserable self...Slowpoke

OP is a renowned fool...

ECOTERRORS:
PDP need to come together and push out this sham APC is trying to introduce into our polity.

I endorse DOgara for speaker HOR

And who are you?
Nairaland has provided a platform for non entities to spew trash...

barcanista:
Thank you my boss. APC will understand the true meaning of "politics". PDP must not afford to fail. Pls call on more PDP monikers to adopt Saraki and Dogara for the positions of Senate President and Speaker respectively

PDP MONIKERS? Are you lots going to vote that day?
Are you a Senator?
You're really funny...

ECOTERRORS:
While BH reign supreme, our Daura President is travelling round the world

You're irredeemably foolish to think along this line...SMH

Politics on play here...Nothing much...

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
There is little content in Buhari's scorecard hence no need to put him in a front burner before he is yet to settle down.

Let's give him space to compose his cabinet and chose his advisers.

All the items you listed do not affect the lives of everyday citizens on the streets hence let him be until a time he rolls out his policies and let's see how he go about implementing them. If it favours the masses, we applaud him, if not we raise our voices to correct him then if he ignores our legitimate concerns then we start the criticism.

I pray Buhari succeeds for the good of everyday citizens on the streets, helpless women and children who suffer the effects of poor governance in Nigeria.

God Bless President Mohammadu Buhari

Barcanista, read and Learn from this Post...

Bursting Hazard's bubbles... Long may it continue... GGMU

Bursting Hazard's bubbles... Long may it continue... GGMU

I hate all this arguments here, but to be honest I think we should let Rooney leave or make him play as second choice to a new striker...I'd prefer Chicharito to Rooney as things stand...
For a new striker, a cheeky bid for Lewandowski might just be it...

Demdem:
Ur papa

Nice one bro...I like your pound for pound approach...

Before you start your image laundering, I'd like you to quote what GEJ said after the removal of partial subsidy...
Did he promise refineries?
Did he promise palliative measures would be taken to ease the pain associated with the partial removal of subsidy?
You're in a hurry to rope the ACN/APC in...Please do a more constructive write up or zip up...

People are weeping here...#uncontrollably

Long live GMB...

I hope we get Gundogan, and probably de jong is other targets are not available...
Felipe Andersen from Lazio will add dribbling and creativity as well as goals from midfield
Hummels and Stones should sort the defence, stones can also play rb if need be...
Benzema will be a big catch, he'll flourish under van gaal's system...

Deprofessional:
My friend go and sit down. stop making excuses for that certificate slowpoke.

what about stabilizing crude oil prices? Didn't he say that also.

Has the Venezuelan President not been working with OPEC for the past couple of months to stabilize the price of crude oil at $100 per barrel? It's only dullards like you that want everything presented in simple terms before you get the drift...

barcanista:
and #BabaOneChance is more informed of the inner working of Government than the President/Commander-in-Chief and the Military?

Expecting GEJ to come out plain and tell the world his government had to seek the expertise of South African military is more like expecting bush to admit his government made a mistake going after Saddam Hussein...

jcmaiah:
Only fools ask for evidence when they can ask Google

And when Google says otherwise, it just makes you look dumb...

Ancientx:
Take it easy on them abeg.. Too many kids on Nairaland these days...

I realized taking it easy on them is not helping the situation, you just have to be very blunt with them...It's making this forum uninteresting by the day.
