And you voted for buhari who is already 80yrs. You're equally interested in becoming President. Nigeria imports everything. They federal government should pad the budget for importation of shame. Nigerian politicians have lost sense of shame.

No single reasonable comment from our youths. Hhhhhmmmm. This man has given the youths of Nigeria a platform to hinge on and spring up yet we cannot recognize it. It's a pity. Instead of commending him on his truthful nature we are here castigating him. To be sincere, we are not ready yet. We shall just remain complainers till "THY KINGDOM COME". It is our reaction that makes these politicians Hand over to their children leaving more intelligent and articulate youths behind. Let's wake up . Mind u , I am not exonerating myself, #ourmumudondo. Let's use our brain. Once again, kudos to elrufai for being truthful, we shall change and work on ourselves.. let us make up our mind to participate in politics, let us vote out any politician that has been there for over 20yrs, let us vote out all of dem above 60 yrs, let those btw 30 and 55 participate in active politics peradventure, we may get it right.

sad isn't it.....It is really surprising how the youth in Nigeria are engrossed in tribal and religious sentiment. Makes you wonder why, maybe an unfortunate consequence of their parent's intuition?

Senate v. President. Both Are Guilty.

My silence over this issue is informed by the lack of surprise in the whole saga. A cooperation between the two arms would have been the news. The President and the APC are paying for the sin of SAK - a Hausa acronym for "APC all-through". The President was asking Nigerians to vote for APC from head to toe regardless of the record of the contestants. When some of us said it was a mistake for only God and his Messenger could be SAK, nobody listened. Now everybody is learning the hard way.

Put philosophically, in the build up to 2015 elections, the President had a choice between power in alliance with the corrupt on the one hand and continuing to abide by the principle of going with people of like minds on the other - a choice between Machiavelli and Malam Aminu Kano, if you like. He chose power in collaboration with the corrupt after he was tired of the principle that did not yield the result he needed in three previous elections.

Everybody knows who these characters were. However, for political expedience, a deaf ear was turned against their terribly corrupt records. They were embraced, given their potential to match the then ruling party evil for evil. The blood money that they had could not be resisted either. It was needed to fund the APC campaigns. In return they were given party tickets for governorship and National Assembly positions.

Is it now that Nigerians know they can betray them, forgetting that they have betrayed the party that made them governors earlier? Is it now that we know they are corrupt after enjoying their financial contributions during the campaigns? Come on! Let us tell the truth.

The Hausa in their usual eloquence have summarized similar situations in one proverb: kowa ya sai rariya, ya san za ta zub da ruwa.

My advice to the President is that he should embrace the reality that these guys are the co-travelers he knowingly chose to partner with on his journey to the Presidency. He cannot disown them after reaching his destination. So he must learn to tolerate them and their actions for the country to move forward. They are the devils he chose to dine with.

I hope next time the President will have cause to examine his Machiavellian philosophy of SAK.

Bakina alaikum.

Just know that when Buhari your god is gone, BMC is gone and you are finished. By then your sense will come back to normal. Keep on typing trash on the internet. At your age, just know that stipend they are paying to waste your precious time will not last up to 4 years. Remain foolish forever.

Don't blame the youths, blame the disaster which is APC that has reversed this country back to 1983.

Big brother is a welcome distraction, or do you want more youths to be fished out of the lagoon before you know the dinosaur at aso rock has messes up their future?
So before APC, this country had a vibrant youth population abi? If we can't even discuss issues like this without slaughtering it on the altar of politics, then where is the way forward?
