Truth is bitter. This is a golden advice

shioor tell me the changes you have made since you were there even as a pastor..

So politics is the only way to effect changes in a nation?
Only politicians effect changes abi?
People are smarter than this na
Presidency is not everything. The day the Nigerian people unite and understand that they are the boss, e go clear for politician eyes.
Let's just say Nigerians still dey sleep.
Osinbajo has just shown us that joining politics is like joining a cult where you take orders.
Those who want to join politics before they effect changes are free.

But it's myopic for a pastor who knows the truth to speak like this.

adioolayi:
Absolutely True...


We don't want this to rule us...we don't want that to be President...these are just vague wishes, if we don't start pushing Who Exactly We want as President.

Nigeria must have a President..so, to vote in people of our choice, the person must join a political group and declare interest in ruling for Presidency.

Just sitting and shouting we don't want a particular Person is not enough..

Let's get involved

Where is the lie. ?

Why are Nigerian youths this unreasonable. Dora Akunyili involves in Politics if not she wouldn't have been appointed or she would have been removed if OBJ was Against her moves. Politics helped her achieved that.


How many lives does maduka touched? It's within his hometown. Ask yourself, why is he vying for Political office?


Oshinbajo effect Change because some policy that cushion the effects of our age long problem was proffered by him. Wether little or not isn't an argument here.

If we have larger number of right thinking youths at the helms of affairs more than crooks, WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN?

You all should not change that poor mindset of not joining Politics, your wailing just started.

If you mention Dr Stella, then you should be giving thanks to security operatives both official and locals. THAT'S NOT THE KINDA CHANGE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS CONTEXT.

Wiseandtrue:
So no sir!, You don't have to be in politics to effect any change!

Dora Akunyili was not a politician when she touched lives!

Maduka, running for Anambra gubernatorial seat was not in politics before he effects changes that brought him to lime light!

Dr. Stella Adadevoh, saved the population of Lagos, from ebola, was she into politics

So what are you saying How can a professor of law just speak anyhow all for the sake of talking then when it comes to real talks, he's mute

If being what you (prof Osibanjo) are today is what being in politics is all about then I dare say politics cages one and makes one senseless!

This is what all the youths should know that to make their dream come true and to achieve better in future they need to engage in politics

SpatialKing:
The most useless VP ever

Your comment makes you look very foolish

I love your thinking Sir, God bless you. You're among the very fewer reasonable ones

okefranci:

Nothing but the truth. If you don’t join politics, your idea will just end on paper without implementation

jditimiya:
Been in politics may not bring the real change we all need, but being in politics and doing the right things even if it will cause you many trouble, still your good in that space will make your name speak and loud. Most of you politicians are the big problem we have in this country because of your personal interest. Let talk and do the change we all desirer. [/b]

The bolded is what matters my broda.

Very true

If you have Right thinking youths in local government level, State and Federal levels, there will be serious turn around. If the head is bad, the body won't function.

As it is, Political Power affects Everything you can ever imagine

Some of all these nairalanders supporting the nonsense by politicians is an example.
I hear some are on 30k monthly stipend. I don't know how true.
The important thing is start doing right where you are.

The VP is also canvassing for a just transition from gas to cleaner ways of energy for Nigeria and other African countries. He has also spoken on several occasions against the defunding of gas projects by international finance cooperations. He believes that Nigeria’s rich deposit of gas should be considered first as source of energy before we transition to cleaner energy.

I will have to agree on this one. Govt is everything. Wailers can continue wailing. Make i go buy ticket for my LG

I disagree sir.
If he wasn't a pastor, I'll dismiss it as a political talk.
Do you know there are those who influence politicians?
You don't have to join politics before you can make changes.
Leadership not merely joining politics.

most of the youths ain't ready to do anything, just the attention they get on social media is enough, person tell you the truth you dey insult em

This is the most sensible statement this man has made since he chose to be a docile fulani slave for the last 6years.

I didn't know a so called professor can be so unreasonable.
So youth CAN'T make changes without joining politics.
Very irrational thinking.
Anyway what do we expect from a figure head afterall.

Meanwhile, Alexreports and Gleesmodel, see your inconsequential running-mate ooo.!!
..
Running-Mates cannot be changed again..
And now, without a Running-Mate, Maduka is gone..
..
..
Wife of Obiano to follow soon

This one has started blabbing now. 2023 is around the corner and he wants us to know that he's still alive.

jditimiya:
Yet some good for nothing youths will be quoting you as if they know what is going on in the country, most of them are paid by some godforsaken politicians who are enjoying greatly in the government. Tomorrow when the payment stop they will speak in different tone.

Kikikiki
For them that is joining politics. Just to be near the corridors of power.Move the next day to another party.
They've been made to believe everything is politics.

Wiseandtrue:
Osibanjo is in politics, no be insult, abeg just tell me any positive change he has made

What can Osibanjo be known for

Please tell me, what did the previous vice presidents achieved?

The truth is - everything is structured to give absolute power to the president. I think Osibanjo has done well as a VP especially better than Namadi Sambo and Atiku when they were VPs. Many people don't even remember who Sambo is. Lols.

SpatialKing:
The most useless VP ever

Your papa nko?

The youths that have already joined politics what change have they brought other than to be used as pawns to keep the old ones in power. Useless people.

So if Osibanjo as VP couldn't do much, we should leave our various post of little influence to become politicians?

Let's stop being unreasonably critical. Clearly, Osibanjo is refering to the youths making change in government affairs like law making and administration of the country.

The youths have an idea of what they want, but it's time to stamp this idea through deciding who wins at the primaries, attaining key political positions at state/federal level, appointing the right Chief Justices, appointing the right security heads, making the right laws that we think is needed to govern this country etc. An extreme example of such laws could be to behead corrupt politicians, amongst other laws.

We can't keep protesting every time. We need to start playing the political game that would finally send these old politicians to oblivion.

jditimiya:
Kia i was told growing up, that like minds attract like minds, one big fool was quoting me since yesterday morning that nobody die in lekki because no picture was shown to him. My issue is if we have politicians and youths that will stand up for what is right and fight for it with all they got, Nigeria will be better than what it is right now. Thanks for your good reasoning my follow Nigerian and hard working youth.

there are many youths who know what they're doing. Those configured by the TRUTH think differently

derecho:

You can't undermine the importance of government in any country. For us to take our destinies into our hands, we need to move from just protesting to joining the government. Only then can we make real change. The politicians and military leaders that took Nigerian back from the British were youths - most of them in their 20's and 30's.

We can't all become politicians, but the ones that are born for it should go for it. We would support them by joining their party and playing the politics at party level.
