I know we have a lot of intelligent people here. Can you suggest ways to better our country? This insult is too much from America
Each individual should better themselves then our country too go better. It sounds simplistic, but the change one want starts within each and everyone of us.

You might have noticed my Sai Seun. Its gratitude for bringing us all together here so we might begin.

Nigeria has betrayed the people that fought for her independence with their bloods and wealth. God will punish all the people that plunged us into this disastrous state

Bro if you know how the health sector of sane countries works, you wouldn’t dispute their claim.

Chai!! See as them finish us cry

Some truth, but a lot of exaggerations. In the health sector for instance I don't agree the issue of fake drugs is still as serious as it once was.

Secondly I don't totally agree medications are not available in most hospital. There may be occasional stockout but I don't think it's a general issue


Lastly in this day and age how many people still request for tap water? It's almost always bottled water even in those road side bukas

What I don't really understand about our leaders is how do they sleep at night knowing they are wicked and destroying this nation. They all travel abroad to receive medical treatment and see how they operate things oversea but they will never try to do/operate like that here,why?

And the US is telling you that your next level is not fit for even their animals,let alone human beings..

Atiku is not the only name on the ballot, you illiterate.

This administration is the closest administration to a government with direction and purpose we've got since 1999. It's not what we wanted but a slightly departure from the past.

Very useless country where everything is upside down. Imagine hospitals requesting cash down payment or a so-called police report before admitting someone for a medical emergency.

Imagine a Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) busying their foolish selves hunting suspected Internet fraudsters... When there's an agency for that purpose. In spite of the surfeit of armed robbers and kidnappers all over the place. And so on and so forth.

Imagine the Army chasing after okrika (second hand clothes) smugglers and retailers, leaving the real security threats behind.

Yes.
If the ones you are familiar with are the same group of hopeless idiots.

It is madness to keep trying the same thing and expect a different results.

Sowore and others were offering something different, but Nigeria opted for the familiar mess in buhari and atiku.

Buhari has been in power for five years now and cannot point to one world class tertiary hospital he has built.
What then has he done?

That is not excluding the other hopeless leaders you people have been electing since 1999.

In 2023, you would still elect another useless leader that you are very familiar with.

And you had to make it a Buhari issue again!!!
Okay, lemme ask you a honest question. If we oust Buhari today, who will develop this country?

There's no way forward if we keep pointing fingers.

Really? You blame Nigerians for the poor health facilities, no traffic control, no safe drinking water and impostor officers? Are you for real? So why did we surrender our freedom and resources to government when we can be held responsible for all these? shocked shocked
You surrendered your freedom and resources to government shocked Did you want to be a slave?

Maybe many years of history must have failed to open your eyes to the fact that no government in the entire history of Nigeria has ever not been solely responsible for its agents of government - governors, senators, representatives, ministers, president, and the likes, and don't really care about you, which is precisely the reason we are to blame for our poor "health facilities, no traffic control, no safe drinking water and impostor officers".

To start with, irresponsible slave who surrendered his freedom and resources to government", our "poor health facilities, no traffic control, no "safe drinking water and impostor officers", are all manned by we Nigerians, and not by aliens imported from Mars! And why the heck did you go and do a stupid thing like "surrender your freedom and resources to government" when you ought to know better and be responsible for yourself?

Thanks to textbooks and the internet.

A Nigerian doctor knows the theoretical optimum standards of care, but cannot apply it because there are no facilities.
When they go abroad, everything is there to apply.

Besides, the above applies to general practitioners where they diagnose conditions and prescribe drugs.

When it comes to more specialized sub sectors of medicine like neuro surgery, oncology, cardio thoracic surgery, neo natal surgeries, the Nigerian doctor in Nigeria is poorly trained.

And it is not their fault. You need world class equipments to be highly trained.

Dr. Obinna igwilo a graduate of UNN had to undergo many externships and fellowships in UK and America before he could become one of the few highly trained robotic surgeons in the World.
And possibly the first doctor of general surgery to do a robotic procedure in that field in America.

That can't happen in Nigeria because you can't be that good from textbooks alone.

Nigeria's biggest problem is accountability.

No system is in place to hold these office holders accountable for their promises and the goods they have to deliver.

Making a hashtag trend on twitter isn't accountability either.

Our legal system is useless when it comes to cases of these nature. We need an independent agency that will work as a regulatory body for government officers.

If they make a promise, hold it to them till they deliver. And if they can't deliver they should be heavy penalties for it.

How person go dey chop that amount of salary with allowances and bribes, and not deliver anything of note to the people who employed you.

What's to say the "independent" agencies wouldn't be Nigerianized along the line? cheesy

INEC comes to mind...

Buhari is Nigeria's biggest hypocrite!

He and his party actually gave Nigerians fake hopes that
he was coming to change things only for him to worsen them
The issues here are beyond Buhari. Is it Buhari that it's driving on wrong side of the road? What about various governors what have they achieved? What about we the citizens? Let us be objective, all of us are involved.

Are you weeping and cursing? Pele.

Not all Nigerians are "weeping and cursing" and by historical standards this is mild "weeping and cursing", or were you not born when we were on the streets crying military must go with our lives?

Five years of Atiku and we would be weeping tears of blood, at the least.
Atiku may not have been the best option but, let's be honest, he and his deputy would've been much better than the ones we currently have.
If you were the CEO of a company, between Atiku and Buhari, who would you employ to help your company grow?
Kwarrupshon isn't the only problem we have in this country. Let's forget the current (scam) anti-corrosion rhetorics of the current administration. They're fighting corruption but 2/3 of their cabinet members are former PDP members

Buhari is the current president.
You cannot leave him from the issues. He has been there for five years.

A lot can change in five years.

I am not asking you to oust anybody. I am asking you to vote better in 2023.

Don't be quick to vote for the establishment.
