You people just talk without thinking. Only leaders are involved in the development of a "model society" abi?

Well-calibrated, disciplined and law-abiding ordinary people are not required to achieve this "model society" ba?
Leaders have disproportionate power and influence and priviledge
They must also take disproportionate reponsibility

Those foreign western leaders have a simple lifestyle and there are humble.. that is why their country is good, better and developed...they have the interest of their people but they are not after their own selfish interests like Nigeria leaders and politicians

SHUT UP.

HAVE AMERICAN POLITICIANS YOU WORSHIP GOT ''A LONG WAY TO GO''?

HAVE YOU SEEN HOW FLAMBOYANT AND OSTENTATIOUS THEIR HANDOVER IS?

Do you know Nigeria is still LEARNING in that department?

DID TRUMP RIDE OFF ON A BICYCLE AFTER HIS INAUGURATION?

Will his FAT FRAME not CRUSH a bicycle if he sits on it?

WAS IT NOT A 'BEAST' CAR IN A $100 MILLON FLEET OF BULLET-PROOF 'BEAST' CARS, AS THEY ARE CALLED, IN A 100 CAR CONVOY?

WHEN YOU SEE ONE WHITE COUNTRY (Netherlands) DOING SOMETHING YOU LIKE, YOU INSTANTLY APPLY IT TO ALL WHITE COUNTRIES.

DOES RUSSIA DO ANY HANDOVER AT ALL?

NO?

IS RUSSIA NOT THE BIGGEST AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN EUROPE?

DO THEY PRACTICE DEMOCRACY AND HAND OVER POWER RIDING BICYCLE LIKE NETHERLANDS?

NO?

IS HUNGARY NOT A DICTATORSHIP LED BY VIKTOR ORBAN?

IS BELARUS NOT A DICTATORSHIP LED BY LUKASHENKO?

IS TURKEY NOT A DICTATORSHIP LED BY ERDOGAN?

IS AZERBAIJAN NOT A DICTATORSHIP LED BY ILHAM ALIYEV?

HAS HE HANDED OVER POWER WITH BICYCLE, OR IS HE BUSY JAILING DISSIDENTS AND HOUNDING JOURNALISTS?

DON'T EUROPEANS HAVE A ''LONG WAY TO GO''?

PROGRAMMED PEOPLE.
You know you could actually say all of those things you copied from somewhere without throwing an insult?

If you are an African politician or you are part of the people stealing our commonwealth without helping the masses, may you perish in your thoughts and your wealth.

I know because you want everyone to be an open criminal like your demigod tinubu. But for your information it was your demigod tinubu that branded buhari as a man of integrity I hope he knows you said buhari had fake integrity?

WHILE HE'S RIDING ON THAT BICYCLE HE'S PROBABLY SIGNED OFF SOME MONEY TO FUND REBELS IN CONGO TO COMMIT GENOCIDE SO THEY CAN STEAL MINERALS.

RUBBISH.

SOON SWITZERLAND'S OWN LEADER WILL COME OUT WITH HIS OWN BICYCLE.

MEANWHILE HIS COUNTRY'S FAMOUS ''SWISS BANKS'' ARE THE HOME OF PROBABLY HALF THE WORLD'S STOLEN WEALTH WHICH THEY SHOULD BE RETURNING BACK TO THE PEOPLE OF THOSE COUNTRIES.

BUT HE COMES OUT WITH A NICE SMILE RIDING A HUMBLE BICYCLE AND GULLIBLE AFRICANS BE LIKE ''AWWW, WHAT AN ANGEL....IF ONLY OUR LEADERS COULD BE AS HUMBLE AND HONEST AS THIS WHITE ANGEL ON HIS BICYCLE''..🙄🙄

UTTER CRAP.

YOU ARE NOT A BETTER LEADER BECAUSE YOU RAPE OTHER NATIONS TO ENRICH YOUR COUNTRY.

YOU ARE JUST AS HORRIBLE AS EVERY OTHER CORRUPT LEADER ON EARTH.

THE FOREIGN COUNTRIES YOU ARE RAPING, IS IT NOT HUMAN BEINGS THAT LIVE THERE?

AMERICA IS THE MOST CORRUPT NATION ON EARTH BY AN ABSOLUTE MILE BECAUSE THEY INVENT LIES TO INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES AND STEAL THEIR RESOURCES TO THE TUNE OF BILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

USA has invaded dirctly or indirectly over 60 countries on Earth!!

THE MOST RECENT, VENEZUELA. THEIR OIL IS BEING SOLD AND THE MONEY DEPOSITED IN A BANK ACCOUNT CONTROLLED BY TRUMP!! THIS IS DIRECT CORRUPTION AND THIEVERY.
Like I said, I’d rather have a patriotic President that steals from other countries, as you assumed. Than, have one that steals to another country. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Guess who’s running to your self acclaimed most corrupted nation in history, Nigerians!
If the USA were to so-called enrich themselves from Nigeria, it’s not a problem. After all, the wealth was never distributed to the people in the first place, and I’m sure Nigeria has always benefited from the USA in many ways. The relationship is both a mutual one. May the smartest player win!

Just so you know, the Corruption is equally as bad in Nigeria. We openly practice and promote corruption. It’s a born trait of an average Nigerian, that’s how bad our society has gotten.

Countries should spend lesser money on political appointees, this will make political positions viable for agents of development than people who are interested in getting rich quick

Is that because ordinary Dutch people are also far better than Nigerians?

Abi how can better politicians emerge from people are no good to themselves, their communities and their country huh

It's not because ordinary dutch is better than Nigerians, but because the leaders make rules that will create a functional leadership system.

When their leaders were making progressive laws, what were your own leaders doing?!

Everything rises and falls on leadership.

Stop blaming the common man for the uselessness of the leaders.

Yes, they were, but they had desire to lead right.

Nigeria also has common men who are willing to make positive impact, but the existing system overseen by wicked leaders won't allow them to rise

Mark Rutte holds the record as the longest serving Prime Minister of Netherlands. He became Prime Minister in 2010 and handed over to Dick Schoof in 2024, after a coalition led by Schoof won elections

But how Mark Rutte handed over is a lesson for African leaders. In July 2024 after winning elections, Schoof arrived at the Prime Minister's Office in The Hague for handover. Schoof and Rutte signed the handover documents, displayed the documents for the press to take pictures, after which Mark Rutte came out of the building, got on his bicycle, waved to the New Prime Minister and his aid, they waved back, and Mark Rutte cycled away to his house after 14 years in power. The whole thing did not take up to 15 minutes

Mark Rutte is now Secretary General of NATO.

Did Netherlands and other European countries ever have wicked leaders overseeing a ABSOLUTE monarchy system before ordinary people with a desire to lead right worked to change it huh

Who do you expect to work on changing the system here in Nigeria? Ordinary Dutch people?
