When he was the CBN governor he didn't hear or read about poverty till he became the Emir of Kano. Who taught him what poverty is now. It means he was far away from the people in his village to know they were impoverished.

All these people think we are dullards. Don't mind them, they're all same. Now that he knew what poverty is what has he done to get over poverty in our society.

I read this report and i chuckled within meself. Imagibe the set of people critisising govt. The set of people that supposed to have been wasted at the gallows in a normal clime.
They have gathered once again for the formidable opposition come 2027

El-Rufai should shut up! What makes him think he's not one of the bad politicians stupidly elected into various offices by gullible Nigerians? He talks as if he is a saint— crazy Fulani islamist!!

This el rufia if you hear him speak you will think he was a saint. And not part of the problems of this country.

He and Amechi have the same approach of doing the opposite of what they preach!
He emerged as president two years ago.

Why can't others you elected solve d problem??

He was royalty. When he was CBN gov, na from abuja straight to palace. But as emir, unlike late ado bayero, he was touring his districts. That was why he was so vocal and ganduje, who never liked being pointed his errors, dealt with him.

Sorry. If the "power" was grabbed, how then did "we" elect the power grabber?

Did you used to hear him when he was the Emir during Goodluck Jonathan's regime?.

How can you be CBN governor and say you only knew what poverty was when you became emir..no wonder you people never make good policy , no matter how rich you are if you step outside your gate every where is filled with poor people

With Emir, elrufia and other speakers, were they not the ones in corridor of power before things got south?

They are still the same people to be held responsible for the mess Nigerians found theirselves now.

They are the ones controlling the economy, deciding who to be in power etc.

Let Nigeria start holding them accountable first before thinking of those in power now. The pots calling kettles black.

Southern Kaduna people and Shia Muslims experienced shege under "Hell-Rufai". The worst most demonic governor to have ever ruled Kaduna state.

Nigeria can never be good

We need to have a leader who read the heart of people...who have the interest of people at heart

In all of these gibberish it's all about politics to them not being responsible. What are they doing within their own capacity to promote humanity? Zero! Just cheap talks☹️

The same Professor Yusuf who wreaked havoc at NHIS.
It is well!

The hypocrisy of the northern elites in one news item.

All of you there and those you are criticizing are part of our problem in this country.
We the masses know you people don't know the reality of living in Nigeria, because you all are privilege to either state, national or parastatals treasury and you all satisfied yourselves without winking.

It is well. All of you should carry your lamentations away. Give them power now, the beast in them will rise again.

Elrufai sef dey talk .. lol. grin If only he had scaled through the senate screening he would have been singing Tinubu's praises to high heavens today. These politicians only care about themselves, just because you failed in your bid to become minister you want us to follow you to where we no know. How would have your ministerial position favour us?
Everybody that criticize the govt is either bitter cos of no appointment or obedience

You guyz have so much narrow una reasoning so much you dont how ridiculous some of you sound

Tinubu criticize Jonathan like its no man business, same Tinubu criticize Buhari on naira renewal, no one said it because buhari did not make him VP

Now we cant criticize Tinubu without being tagged obedient or because he no get appointment .. make una continue

Listen to yourself.You must be a novice in Nigeria politics to think you can place Tinubu and Elrufai in thesame category. Tinubu knew he was above VP position so he was okay with one of his boys having it but Elrufai will do anything to be a minister.
