Every nigerian politicians na crooked crooks, so obi no be Saint at all.

Na so we believe buhari to saviour until he tasted power for the 2nd time, na so our eyes clear say" ah! Baba na crook, too."

Just like we warn against Tinubu we all know Buhari antecedents that he's a disaster and we did warn Nigeria against that catastrophe called Buhari.

Obi is not a saint but he's a less evil compare to the others

Well done BudgIT.. you have done your part.. leave Nigerians to continue dey mumu..

They would expect you to chew for them and still swallow it for them.

is law a living thing

I never said law is a living thing. I only said that it’s not mechanics or teachers that will ensure equitable and just systems of law and order. Leaders are not entrusted with state power for no reason.

Timmi:
Oga Brandaniel, no one wants you or your Obizombie movement to believe that Obi and Igbos are the problem of Nigeria, but rather others want you to change your mindset and wailing mentality and to know that the problem is Nigeria do not originate with the current government, nor can it be solved by the current government.

Policies are being implemented to forestall the continuous looting of the treasury through subsidy and currency tripping. It is a continuous process that must be sustained. But one thing is clear - a New Nigeria is coming but it is imPOssible with Obi

APC e-rat it is always "a continuous process" with you guys as far as your 30k keeps coming monthly. It is always "reform policies" when you want to defend corruption by your slave masters.
Better go and get a life

I read many ignorant, sentimental and hypocrite comments here.

Klington:
This logic is stale already. The fact still remains that when the head is rotten, the entire body dies. You lot will prefer to shield and absolve those at the center just to score cheap political points and distract attention.

You just concurred to what I said. The head of the body is the foundation. Deal with it. The national Assembly comprises of people of diverse background, parties and tribes. The saintly parties and movements are part of what is happening. The leader of the saintly movement has never raised an open voice against his members that are part of this.

How many times did OBJ forcefully change Senate leadership? Did it change anything? For him to get favourable support he must distribute ghana-must-go bags of money.

so a mechanic or teacher cannot lead? Are the"leaders" you "entrusted" (they volunteered, not entrusted) ensuring justice?

Go tif bread for area and you will learn that mechanics can dispense justice same as any judge[i][/i]

Depends on who steals the bread. If a random guy does, he’s in soup but if the child of a political office holder does the very same thing, he’ll get away with it pretty easy. The application of laws is differentiated according to a number of factors.

When the teacher or mechanic becomes an office holder, then he is no longer just a teacher or mechanic but he is now a political leader within the jurisdiction he functions in. At that point, he is entrusted with state powers and the right to exert coercion for the public good. His fellow teachers/mechanics at that time cannot lay claim to this privilege.

The ones you have been entrusting to, how market.

I have not said that when leaders are entrusted with power by the state, things will be good. I am saying that when you have good leadership, things will turn for the better. There is a difference so you need to think critically to understand this.

What we have in Nigeria is a case where leadership have made it increasingly difficult for the right type of leadership to emerge (by cornering the INEC or umpire to their side, by cornering the judiciary to their side, by ensuring that the security apparatus works in their favour, by ensuring that laws are not passed to dissuade manual voting, etc).

The result of this is that leaders in Nigeria can do rubbish and get away with it. The right leadership will fix the country not only in Nigeria but anywhere in the world.

Apologies for the long previous post. I see you don’t like to read too much so I’ll summarize as follows:

That someone is entrusted with state power doesn’t mean they will use it for the public good. It just means that they have the opportunity (that a non-state actor doesn’t have) to use it for the public good. Shikena.

what opportunity does a kon state actor not have? Is there only one way to solve societal problems?

You need to avoid extremes. That elections in a country are largely hijacked doesn’t mean that ALL the elections in that regime were hijacked. PDP clearly did a lot of electoral malpractices but it doesn’t mean that all elections conducted under PDP were fraudulent. The same goes for APC. Even in one of the eastern states during the last gubernatorial elections, the REC gave a personal testimony that she was lured into announcing another candidate but decided to go for the truth.

What I’m telling you is that when bad leaders are in power, they will make the electoral process easy to manipulate by ensuring that the INEC is not truly independent. They will seek to make the electoral process more manual because that is easier to manipulate.

This way, no matter how bad they performed they can force their way to power. This doesn’t mean that it is impossible for the right candidate to still emerge but it will be an exception to the norm. It can happen if the electoral umpire either at the federal or regional level decide not to play ball.

Nobody is talking about socialism here. Capitalism is not the absence of regulators. There is no capitalism in the world that lacks regulators. For capitalism to thrive and bring about progress in a nation there must be fair regulation. Foreign investors will quickly run away if they invest in landed property and their property can be taken over by someone with influence illegally without consequence. It’s not the business men that will enforce the justice. It’s the exclusive preserve of leaders - the government.

I know you are trying to absolve bad government because you support them, but it is wrong and in your heart you know that. No business tycoon will do the work of government that the constitution has entrusted with state powers and the powers of coercion. No matter how you try to evade this point, it still stares you in the face.
