The op raise salient points and it is also proper to start the debate now. Nigeria is an on-going concern, the fact the team Buhari are not ready to debate their agenda doesn't stop other people exercing the freedom.


That said, I personally don't like welfarism as policy, as the alternative forgone are usually capital projects!

So if you ask me to choose between feeding school children and building and equipping schools, I'll choose the latter!

If I have to make a choice between paying allowance to graduates, indigent population, etc and constructing roads, and railways, and more ports, I'll choose the latter.

I supported fuel subsidy removal, and I'm against other welfare programs that subsidize consumption, simply because subsidy today, means lower quality future. It means that for our today, we are sacrificing tomorrow.

And as the op has noted the cost of these welfare policy is just too homongous, even if we can afford it (which obviously we can't), it simply not sustainable, and the people of course will never be satisfied!

Alas, APC/Buhari have promised, they must deliver! Chikena!!

dandoki:
Do you call GMB "semi-literate"? Are u more educated than him? A man that has attained the position he has in life can never be ranked as semi literate anywhere in the world. Infact letter-by-letter, word-by-word he would be ranked higher than someone brandishing a questionable phd who cannot even address his supporters to keep supporting him without refering to a prepared note. Its not the certificate you are carrying that matters but what is in your head and what you are capable of doing with it. Let's be clear about it. Education literally is what is left in you after you have forgotten all you learnt in school!!

Yes he is semi-literate, and the certificate actually matters! Literacy is not same as education, as education is more compassing while literacy is limited!

The greed of Yorubas is becoming manifest by the day. I'm sure the will think it's clever but the rest of the South ethnic group can see the greed in their schemes.

- Oyegun (Yoruba) - APC Chair

- Tinube (Yoruba) - APC Puppeteer

- Vice President (Yoruba) Tinubu puppet

- Speaker (Yoruba)


Let Yorubas continue to manifest their insatiable greed, while we watch and see how it will all end.

If the semi-literate said he want petrol to be N40/litre, then N40 it is! Who is IPMAN?? Na wa oo

Unfortunately brute force might not be enough, being more literate would have helped!

Personally, I believe being semi-literate will be the major handicap of Buhari. Time will tell though.

shachris03:
So bad. a semi-illitrate would have to be ur president for the next 8 years. So brace yourself for some illi-tracy

I would always prefer a semi illiterate president to a stupid one.

Too bad, I agree. But the semi-literate will not only be my president, he will also be yours! Bottom line, a cow is a cow, whether it's presidential cow or and almajiri cow! Your preference is largely immaterial now, as their is nothing you can do about his literacy level or the presidency (of the current and the elect)!

@op,
I don't care who an illiterate is, but what I know that the Buhari, the president-elect, is Semi-Literate (in modern parlance). He's better off rearing cows!

Demdem:
But some fools like this one on top ^^^ of me still claimed that he never went to school

Didirin,

So you think everyone one wearing school uniform is awarded certificate? DenseDense!

The one trying to hide his face with dark glasses, out of fear of embarrassment.

A semi-literate among his seniors, what do you expect?

kaboninc:
Biko, we've heard enough.

Abi oo

Who wish to continue reading long boring epistle of the nonentity Gbawe, when his paymaster Liar Mohammed has denied even the premise of his profuse propaganda!

The old imp is yet to get the memo, that's why he continue to foam in the mouth like one demented!

In any case, we call for less propaganda and more action!

Mykevp2p:
The funny thing is that Lai Mohammed denied the talk of scraping or merging ministries and MDAs, yet some folks are already up in arms with their sycophancy. Let APC start the issue of constitution amendment in the house, while they are at it, reduce the cost salary and allowance of the executives and legislators, then we will know how serious they are. Talk is always and ever cheap. They came in through propaganda and want to govern with propaganda!

That's the problem here.
They jump at every little rumour, that's convenient for them and expect everyone to join the chorus! Then they try to vilify those who ask hard questions, and point out the systemic challenges.

While the nonentity Gbawe is busy urging us to chorus 'alleluia' to a fantasy, his party chieftains are already refuting the suggestion, as you rightly noted. What's more, elective representatives of APC are already calling for the creation of more ministries. Something Gbawe, the sycophant and hypocrite conveniently overlooked:

Nigeria: Buhari's Government Should Create Ministry of Lagos Affairs - Re-Elected Legislator


A re-elected member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Bisi Yussuf, on Wednesday urged the in-coming administration at the federal level to create a ministry for Lagos affairs. Addressing scores of supporters at his constituency office in Ipaja-Ayobo Local Council Development Area, the legislator said that it would facilitate rapid upgrading of infrastructural facilities in the nation's commercial capital.

Yussuf (Alimosho I), of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said that Lagos should be accorded the rightful federal revenue allocation befitting its status as the nation's commercial capital.

Gbawe:
Ode, we know what you are. Nothing but an enemy of progress. Your conciliatory talk above cannot change the perception you created of yourself with your negative and unintelligent rants. The substantive point is a President who has political will can make things happen whereas crooks like GEJ you supported bigotedly will hide behind age-long excuses that enable them to rob Nigerians blind sure in the knowledge that bitter enemies of progress like you will help them pass on their message of deceit. Like I told you earlier, you will have the displeasure of seeing Buhari make possible all that the PDP had pledged was "impossible". As if constitutions are rigid documents made never to be amended. Oponu cannot even grasp a very fundamental concept because of his bitter, prejudiced and ethnocentric mindset.

This didirin talk about perception, even when I go by the monica "PointB"? Do I look one worried about how I'm perceived in cyberspace? I left that for idi/ots like you who have no other life than in cyberspace!

You keep talking nonsense, because your grasp of the issue at stake is very weak. For the avoidance of doubt, talk is very cheap, and that's what morons like you do all day - talk, talk, and more talk!

Intelligent folks who understand the matter are saying, let us see 'action.' We would not buy into your myopic suggestion of applauding talks, talks, and more talks. When the dullard buhari amends the constitution to scrap the minister of state and save cost, then we evaluate the change and give plaudits where applicable and cain if necessary.

It's so simple that even apes will understand, but because you are given to hypocrisy and sycophancy, you are unable to grasp it. It must be really said being you!

Gbawe:
You guys keep chasing your own tails. Who is asking Buhari to dump the constitution? Yet is the constitution, like all other contrived and man-made provisions of law and governance, not subject to amendment? The substantive point is that the law is generally not a tool to impede and frustrate man in his effort to better society even if the PDP loves to give this impression so it can continue to loot Nigeria. Like I said above, you guys will have the displeasure of seeing what the PDP said was "impossible" for the past 16 years become possible, within a short time, under Buhari.

Then let him amend it, reduce the waste and earn praises!

What we don't appreciate is idi/otic clownish imp like you asking us to sing his praise for making wild promises, even when every evidence point to that fact that nothing is being done, nor will be done before he takes over, in that regard! Let us see the bill first, at least, before considering sing alleluia!

Sycophancy, and hypocrisy is your stock-in-trade!

Mykevp2p:
You get their time bro.. these hypocrites writing long epistles deserves no response. The issue at hand is scraping minister of state postilion, If Obasanjo had 16 ministries, did he also have 16 minsters? if not, what is the portfolios of the other ministers. In 2003 when Obasanjo won re-election, he nominated a total of 42 ministers... 36 from each states and 6 from each geo-political zones

Those who keep shouting that GEJ cabinet is too big, probably didn't understand the reason behind that. It seems that, the APC memeber are encouraging Buhari to dump the constitution once again like he did in 1983. Let's see how far they can go

Well said bros,

It is the slowpoke Gbawe in his full ignominy, writing long winding load of bull-crap about ministries scrapped, when the issue at hand is a constitutional matter. Ask which of those scrapped ministries are specifically noted in the constitution and watch him foam in the mouth like the epileptic cretin that he is! Yet the fool will mix administrative issues with constitutional ones, and then start bragging about how he destroy his elders!

The old imp is simply a pretentious cretin; take him serious at your own risk!

75% of them belong to jail!

Nellybii:
Imagine. even the rich suffer in Nigeria yet these Tanoids prefer the status quo. Even with your money the basic infrastructure that make life worth living are non existent. Yahoo boys, drug pushers, hoodlums now roam freely and even take up Government positions in this country where the rule of law has disappeared. Haba !! Shame ohhh what a shame.

No one is asking for the status quo to remain.

We are simply saying making promises in vacuum is nothing but populist stunt! How do you scrap a part of the constitution? Are you sending a bill? Is it by fiat? How?

Unless the how is detailed, it is idiotic to sound triumphant, especially when politician are known for empty promises. And yes, we also support the rule of law!

Gbawe:
I cannot remain here indulging your ignorance or educating you. Suffice to say virtually the entire forum, including those who supported your "constitution" bullcrap earlier on yet have now run off, have the intelligence to see and note what you cannot. 1mbecilic D1mwit.

Thereupon the nkita ara turn tail and ran off into it's world of ignorance!

Don't let the door hit you, sad old foolish imp!

Nellybii:
You have said it all. Positive changes are always repelled by enemies of progress like you. Cry me a river.

Another ignorant mule!

Gbawe:
Sharap my olodo friend. All your empty head is filled with is ethnocentric and mindless hatred of others that leads to your unintelligent and sentimental outburst which always end up discredited. For you and other "constitution" jokers I ask : did the constitution take a holiday to Dubai under OBJ who reduced federal Ministeries from 22 to 16? R.etard.

Nkita ara,

You keep talking about reduced Federal Ministries.

The issue here is about scrapping the portfolio of minister of state, not about reducing the number of ministries! Did Obasanjo have only 22 (or even 16) ministers in either his first or second term? You are so dull, it must be genetic! So much for your grasp of basic issue, impatient imp! It's best you go back and read the original post rather than foaming from the mouth like an epileptic id/iot.

Quit embarrassing yourself and speak to the topic, didirin!

Them don start be that!

Gbawe:
Olodo. Destroyed by how I have factually shown that the constitution excuse of you and others is nothing but ignorant idiocy, given that OBJ has already set a precedence for the sort of cost-cutting Buhari wants to embark on, you are still barking unintelligently. Silly 'robot' with a stilted mind.

That you still show face to talk when all of your co-travellers in hate have taken to their heels and run off shows that the degree of hatred motivating you is indeed greater than that forcing others to post ignorantly and negatively here. Yet Buhari will shame you and other ethnocentric enemies of Nigeria's progress. What OBJ achieved we expect the even more pro-people Buhari to not only ahcive but vastly improve upon. Hater, "go and die". Nigeria will make progress and succeed in your lifetime. Bitter fool.

Nkita ara, chest-beating like a gorrilla about how you destroyed your superior only show how conceited you must feel; a mosquito indeed feeling like a bird. Look around you, those you supposedly destroyed are walking around, in their numbers, with their heads high!

How can I blame you, when your whole pathetic life depends on being right on Nairaland. Isn't it a sign of myopia to celebrate an unfounded 'proposal' as solution to Nigeria's plethora of problems. Even when there is little evidence of policy direction in the proposed path?

Intelligent folks are saying that this specific proposal will require constitutional amendment, which has not been proposed, debated, let alone passed into law.

But how will I blame you, when rabble-rousing, and long boring epistle, generously laced with ethnic hatred, particular against Igbos, and anyone with contrary opinion, is your stock in trade.

Gbawe, everyone here know you are a joke; a hypocrite, and ethnic supremacist, who is fully committed to fueling and spreading hate against people from SE/SS! Those who pretend to take you serious, only do so to tolerate you!

Gbawe, mask it anyhow you like, you are one hateful creature! Tufiakwa!!

IbokUtoroh:

hehehehehe,

Una go kill persin here.

Anyway, just brace your self for many more long boring, tribalism infused, epistles from that Resident Hypocrite, no 1 worshiper of DoroDullard, the semi-literate cattle herder.

He would be myopic not to do so!

brownlord:
Giving amnesty to Niger delta militants and not giving to Boko haram.

We just entered one chance, i can bet the whole of Northern, Niger and chad youth will soon be receiving welfare package from Niger delta oil money.

Meanwhile the unproductive region is still nothing but a burden to this unholy union

hehehehe

@op,


What are these social injustice he spoke about, how does he intend to fix them, and when is he starting?

kaboninc:
Even almajiri schools teach better than most State Schools in Osun State!

Maybe he's still a high student in Osun State.

Then it's worse than I thought!

Mykevp2p:
Come, PointB, take it easy before you give some people injury for here!.. my hands no dey. However, the man dey appear duller with every passing day and every statement. We maybe in for a long thing

PointB is short for Point Blank (Range)!

I take no prisoner! I care not whose ox is gored!!

@op,


"Dullard" is the concessionary name of the semi-illiterate, cattle rearer!

arewatech:
It says from all 36 states of the federation, meaning all states eligible to provide a minister. It does not state the each state must get one (or more).

Get that into your Dumb brain

Seems to me you attended almajiri school?

"the President shall appoint at least one Minister from each State "

Read the bolded, very slowly, and revert!

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Dullard should be his new name from now on.

If President Jonathan was consistently called clueless by nobody and somebody, then Buhari is on his way to be crowned the king of dullards

** This is to show Buhari's supporters how foolish it was calling GEJ clueless

Dullard then is Buhari's name, but I still reserve the right to add flavour to his new name by suffixing it with 'semi-literate' !

If GEJ can be called 'retardeen' , 'clueless fisher-man', etc unrelentingly, I guess buhari's supporters should be able to live with their man called 'dullard', semi-literate, and host of others. What's sauce for goose is sauce for gander!

Nellybii:
Provision in the constitution??
You are the real dullard here. Stinking nonentity referring to your president elect as dullard.
You don't even have a name yet.
The statement is not even credited to him yet you. Idiot have started ranting. mtcheeeeeeew

He reserves the right to call the president elect a dullard, especially since he's been acting as one through his clueless kaftan/trainers combo, and now this ill-conceived pronouncement, among others before and during the election. The president-elect score F9 in mathematics and woodwork even in a dodgy statement of result, surely dullness doesn't go further such poor academic.

But these are beyond the point.

We are discussing the dullard's proposition of scrapping Minister of State portfolio, and wondering if he's read the constitution and is prepared to caused the necessary amendment (through the National Assembly), or whether he's just living up to his reputation as a semi-literate dull president-elect with his usual unintelligent assertions!

omonnakoda:
Thanks ,sorry The provisions you cited were different numbers
I have read that Thoroughly now. The key phrase is MINISTER OF GOVERNMENT which unfortunately the constitution does not DEFINE but it seems we must have a minister of government from every state. We have always assumed that means a Minister in a Ministry(there is such a thing as Minister without Portfolio) but I am sure creative legal minds can define what a Minister of Government means e.g we can give the title to ambassadors. We do not have to create Ministries to fulfil the requirement

No problem.

True we cannot create ministries to fulfill constitutional requirement, that is why 'creative legal minds' created the Minister of State portfolio.

The solution may lie in restructuring the country perhaps along regional line, alas, APC had no such plans!

We dey look oo!
