Adminisher: There is no culture or institution for breeding good leadership in Nigeria. Everybody is lazy, corrupt and expecting magic TheRe is no passion for excellence or endurance or love of positive exertion in the youths. Christians call it joyful effort. Every young person in Nigeria is looking for ready made sucess handed to him with silver tray. They prefer to be "boys" to politicians yet they complain that the old soldiers are bring recycled. I personally can smell a bad leader or a fool in 5 mins of conversation . I have rated good public service leadership in Nigeria and this is my table , current and ex governors included ;
Awo Murtala Muhammed Buhari/Idiagbon El Rufai Samuel Mbakwe Audu Ogbeh Ogbonaya Onu Olusegun Obasanjo Melford Okilo Fashola Tinubu Kwankwaso Ayade Amosu Obi Obiano Diete Spiff
If you don't know some of the names on this list, no apologies. You are just too young.
Some random truths arranged in no particular order:
The worst leaders Nigeria (President and Govs) ever had were Shagari, Goodluck Jonathan, Odilli and Abacha. Abacha was better than the other two in terms of leadership skills but his blood thirstiness and over reaction to opposition spoilt everything. Odilli had talent but extremely selfish and corrupt.
Shagari and Jonathan should never ever have been made President - they were weak and confused throughout their terms. Igbinedion, Orji, and all the PDP middle belt governors under Jonathan were the worst governors in Nigeria ever. Igbinedion in particular not only had ZERO leadership skills, his IQ was also below average.
Odilli was probably the most corrupt governor in any third world country on earth yet he had more leadership talent than most Nigerian leaders you compare him with. Just a spoilt , evil man who wasted good talent.
Shonekan did a lot quietly for the Nigerian economy but was cut too short in office by Abacha.
The IBOs don't encourage good leadership. Their culture in politics is too selfish, materialistic, cultic and exclusive. It is very difficult for that region to bring good materials into the political class. They should stick to trading and quick returns manufacturing
The Cross Rivers/Akwa Ibom axes has the most creative, hardworking and progressive Nigerians in public service, Every assignment they are given locally or nationally is always executed to first class standards. The examples are many- Isong, Ani, Duke, Ayade, Udoma, etc, c. So many more. Even now, Buhari works better and trust the Minister of National Planning and Budget than any other.
The Niger Delta has very counter progressive culture. They are extremely lazy, weak minded, emotional, sentimental and are not capable of the discipline and endurance necessary for success. They have short term view of life and are not viable as a people.
The North is the most retrogressive Nigerian region. Lazy politicians with feelings of entitlement, too exclusive of millions of their people who they call Almajiris. Institutionalised corruption and nepotism. Buhari has a great deal of work to DO to prepare the region for the 21st century. It has nothing to do with religion- Dubai and most of UAE is ready for 2 1st century. Turkey is already there . Iran and Pakistan are moving fast.
The Niger Delta has very counter progressive culture. They are extremely lazy, weak minded, emotional, sentimental and are not capable of the discipline and endurance necessary for success. They have short term view of life and are not viable as a people
I just realized the cross River, Always Ibom and the others you rated so high are part of the south west . Stop talking about what you know next to nothing about .
Omotorvidosky: Taking over the waterways by the NA is a decent development. I long expected this to happen. I mean, how would expose your waterways without even local vigilante for people to come in and plant bombs on pipelines in your community if you're not a perpetrator? NA fire on jare, food crisis ko, humanitarian crisis ni!
I'm stunned with your arm robbery mentality. Yoh want them to be killed for the sake of their godsgiven oil? The problem they have is lack of unity, otherwise, the game would have been changed by now .
For us to maximise our potential, the southern part of Nigeria must unite , no iPoB , no oduduwa, but united southern Nigeria . If thag happens, we will explode in no time. We dont really need the Hausas , they are not contributing anything meaningful to the union. They should go their separate way and begin to live like their neighbors in Niger republic and Chad. You can never see them where brain is mentioned , only IEDs are they capable of producing . Let us go .
Sadly, people like GossipHeart make up the majority in Nigeria. According the 2012 NARPH plus2 survey, about one in five young adults still had very wrong misconceptions about HIV.
Yes, sex is not the only way, but it accounts for 80% of the new infections. In fact, by this same time tomorrow, about 605 people across the country would have become newly infected with the virus. Shocking, isn't it?
@Gosspheart, it would do you well to take the wise counsel above so don't become another statistic and add to the hundreds I see in the clinic each day.
If that is really true, by now HIV/AIDS would have wiped out the world. If you see the rate of abortions in Nigeria, you will know many people don't use comdoms . If I may ask, how many people are voluntarily going for test? The white have not really comprehend what causes AIDS . People , especially in developing countries lived and died, at old age, with HIV and without having AIDS. What will you say of a woman who tested positive without her husband, or any of her children positive? I have also seen a man who is positive and his wife and children negative? Those test kits can make you positive if it detect unusual stuff in your system . Even, malaria parasites can make you positive. You may say I'm spewing ignorance, but do some search via Google and by visiting general hospitals.
Those mumu Ibo governors can't do this . Anytime I hear an Ibo man or woman call the Yorubas coward , I will personally spank him/her. This is what I called daring the devil to save your people . Fayose knows the Fulanis will get back at him through their brothers in aso Rock, yet he decided to take the risk to protect his people the useless killers.
girl4rmspace: excuse me, are you for real? Why would his conscience disturb him when he worked hard for his money and spent it on something he likes?
Are you really sure all those monies are from music? How many albums has he compared to 2 face and the likes? I know his father is a billionaire, but you think the dad would give him 20m to buy just a chain? Let's reason am ooooo . That dude has so many exotic chains worth over 500 million naira . All from music ? Hmmmmmmmm
madridguy: I will not blame PMB but I think the Niger Delta boys need to consider their people. Am with a guy two days back who happened to witness live the massacre against the Shia group in Zaria and I think Army need to be avoid. We must not give Soldiers any reason to near us because talking about " human right " doesn't exist in their dictionary even American soldiers are not exempted. I wish the avengers can stylishly bow to the government and go back to the dialogue table. We have lost enough soldiers and innocent souls to this struggle and I believe it's time the both party come together for a lasting solution.
We can only move forward as a country when there is peace.
Let the fulani come and kill us for our oil. We said we want to control our oil, is there any crime there ? Mind you, that old boat can't make crocodile to smile , it will only cry and die
Try this with a born thug nigga , and the next day you freeze in the mogue . Nonsense man . The one you married never dated any man before you met her . Omo ale .
Danfuster: I swear down, too many complain and bug. My startup tone and display got shitty, I can't access running apps from using the recent apps key nor going through app manager...i have to go all the way to developer options. They removed my quick Google search from the home key which before I just have to swipe up from the home irrespective of what I'm doing.
They fücked the camera and editor up... I wish I hadn't upgraded to this marshmallow. I totally forgot people been complaining on playstore bout this but I forgot, got carried away with the stupid and annoyingly persistent update notification.

Your phone is old. No wonder you got all the problems . Since I upgraded ,no issue so far . This is because Im using a galaxy note 5 the latest note in the market till note 7 Is released next month. Note 5 was so good that Samsung jumped over to note 7 . Note 5 is actually a note 6
fiizznation: You shut up my friend. Only a sick fellow like the ugly lunatic up there will inscribed the name of a seating president on a dog hoping his action will spark some sort of crisis. He should thank his star that the issue is handled in a civilized manner. Why didn't he inscribed ojukwu's name or any of his leaders cognomen on the said dog if he wants to show how miserable his life is?
You don't go about looking for trouble and when that trouble finally finds you, you begin to play the victim card. Maybe if he'd call his name buhari without inscribing buhari's name on the dog, just maybe nobody will have any problem with him. But what that sick fellow did is an 'act of provocation', a breach of public peace and an evil intention to instigate violence. Like I said earlier, he should thank his very tiny star that the authority stepped in to calm every boiling nerve down.
Again he should thank his 'very very tiny star'.
Keep your mouth shut. Why didn't you rant when some men from the north named their dogs Jonathan? It is now time for us to revenge , so live with it. I will name my goat buhari
Arrest to save the suspect my foot. We all know the rearrest was an order from above . The new IG wanna prove to his benefactor that he is capable of silencing anyone that may dare him even in the slightest way. Let's see what the court will do. Is there any law that prevents anyone from giving his pet human name ?
mrvitalis: Lol. Comments like this make me wonder what the educational level of Nigerians are.. . I tot wike did a probe on ameachi... let him populish the report let's see if it makes sense or not and then we can hold efcc to investigate him.. . But cos he knows it will be a d

Wike has been begged to bury the hatchet . Authoritatively I can confirm this. There were some trade off.
Dandsome: But when will she travel to the USA to shut critics up??
She's taking pictures with him now, but when time comes for the president to travel to the USA she'll shy away.
I'm beginning to believe that this Aisha Buhari the first lady is the one linked to the Halliburton scandal.
What do you guys think?
Of course, there is no other Aisha buhari under the sun that is linked to jefferson in the Halliburton scandal. We know the truth ,only that we are too timid to talk. Buhari is not clean jor.
To me , this is nothing but a parody of marriage. This is just another drama in Ghollywood, if there is anything like that. . Dub me a cynic, I don't bloody care, but something is telling me this marriage is nothing but a sham, all scripted to get public attention by either of the couple well, let's see how it all ends.
FFK Is a Christiaian and a southerner, so he deserves to rot in jail. On the other hand , Nnenadi usman is a Muslim and a northerner and though a bigger thief, she must be set free by virtue of her religion and tribe.
ezivision: so senate is above the law to push them into forgery Nigerian survival is very far with your type.
Is buhari above the law? Why did he has to forge a WASC certificate when he has nono? That old man will rot in jail for forgery and perjury. Cambridge West Africa has already replied to our inquiry ,and their response is that the name Muhammed Buhari doesn't exist anywhere in their record. Even a million SANS- cannot save the dullard now.
The man is a bastard. Why didn't he go and claim three oil of Chad and cameroun ,thier imidiate neighbour? Since they have the largest land mass in the neighbourhood? Well, I don't blame him . I blame the useless Lugard and the disunity in the south . Otherwise, we would have seceded by now and wait for them to come and be doing oil exploration in our land and water since they have the largest land mass. Rubbish
babyfaceafrica: okay noted!!...when will you blow the next pipeline?
Not pipeline will be blown, since the high command have decided to listen to brother Kach, that is the petroleum minister . But I can tell you this is just a temporary solution. This is because we know the plan of the northerners . They left thier numerous resources and face our oil with the plan of dividing the country immediately our oil is finished so that they can enjoy their resources alone. That is the plan.
The northerners that left thier resources untapped know what they are doing. Immediately our oil is finished, they will divide the country and begin to tap thier multiple resources and we will be left to suffer. God , what am I seeing?
babyfaceafrica: Ipod yoots and their brodas NDA will be sad..hope the won't blow pipelines again?
Keep quiet . If the high command of the NDA were not placated, do you think there would have been a cease fire? Or you thought your soldiers can counter the NDA in the Creek? Small pickin.
Trapping: @OP, no matter how you guys try to pull fayose down, I tell you he will have the last laugh.
Just know that the senate has written to the U.S. State dept asking them to clarify which Aisha is been referred to in the Halliburton scandal. UK just voted to leave EU, A silent revolution is gradually taking over the world. By November we will have a new and radical POTUS. You guys will soon understand what's been cooking for Nigeria, only that by time you wake up IT WILL BE TOO LATE!
Buhari's actions and in inactions so far , has all the trappings of Hitlerism capable of topedoeing our national ship already in troubled water. Dub me a prophet of doom, but all I see is doom, ,doom,doom. If actually fayose recirked money from the office is the NSA, he did so the same way Buhari received two cars from the same office without him knowing they were proceeds of crime. What are the buharists saying? Well ,I know they have contorted themselves into logical fallacies and delussion to tell themselves up is down and down is up. But after the storm, there shall be calm and all shall not be the same again .
shamsuRana: ....the best name given to him "unchained mad Dog" By extension,every wailer is also an unchained mad Dog. No wonder they can only bark from afar,and when one tries to pick up a stone ,they hurriedly flee. Typical of filthy bingo dogs.
Only the fools will believe this. If Aisha is in the USA as claimed by this clown, why is it that while jefferson is serving Jail term over the same issue, this Aisha is walking about freely renewing her passport at will? This Aisha is certainly in nigeria where thieves close to the president are sheltered.
koboko69: U av been spaming every political thread on this forum with kindergarten submissions. I think you should take a break, and let wailing elders do the job. You messing things up for them.
The only person that supposed to be facing the music for forgery now is Buhari ,since Cambridge West Africa denied the existence of his WASC, and not the other way round. But unfortunately, he is above the law. In the eye of the law, he was neither a soldier nor is he a president since he was not qualified ab initio to hold those positions .
avicky: Imagine? The relationship was even built on DECEIT. And op is asking for advice when reality is staring you at the face. You even had protected sex just once. That girl can kill. Just walk away and never look back. In three months time, go for another test and if the test is negative, go do thanksgiving.
What are u even saying? Do you know your status? I know girls like you have unprotected sex every time. Mtcheeeeew.
