How can people forget so easily?
When PMB was campaigning to become the president, the principal reasons why he was voted were:

1. His intergrity
2. His actions between 31st dec 1985 and aug 1985 as a military head of state
3. His presumed political will as against the "sluggishness" and "foolishness" of GEJ.

The result of the days of standing in the sun is a complete opposite of the reasons for voting. Definitely a lot of the young people on nairaland and Nigeria voted PMB on the basis of hearsay. Many are here today lamenting and regretting.

Nigeria requires decisive leaders. Nigerians on a lot of occssions need rough handling. Those with some sense, once they get on the streets lose their senses. The ones who travel abroad behave themselves very well there. Once they get back home they run crazy.

Wike is exactly the kind of leader Nigerians need. The lockdown in Lagos was heavily defied because the governor was very sympathetic and simple mimded. Today corvid 19 has started spreading faster than imagined in Lagos. Even at that the people do not care. In a few days lockdown will return in full force in Lagos.

With Wike's order there will be sanity. As long as you venture out with your car or walk on the streets you risk getting into trouble. Their complain about hunger will be met with seizure and detention. The ignorant will not put the wise into trouble.

Wike personifies the Nigerian president visualised in the minds of people before 2015. As long as he keeps performing we should clap for him.

As for the follow follow people on nairaland who just join the bandwagon of negative people here, congratulate yourselves. I hope you can carry the same follow follow spirit to Rivers state and dare Gov Wike.

Here for those of us who are realist, I say thank you. For Govs Wike and Umahi I say keep up the good works.

This sort of thinking is why smart folks don't invest their money in places like Nigeria, where based on one man's whims, your property can be willfully expropriated. Do existing regulations in place prescribe fines, or auction of property? Your sort of thinking is precisely why we cannot have a proper democracy in place: people like you would support silly politicians in becoming emperors and laws onto themselves. This silly action cannot even stand in court! Yup . . . there is the small issue of retroactive regulations.

And who says they cannot stand in courts when such orders are backed by laws?

Why are we being so hypocritical? Why will Nigerians never learn? Unfortunately such positions as yours are the reasons why we remain as we are and very backward.

When the governors began to close interstate boundaries people asked where they found the powers. In the face of existing realities what were they expected to do? Sit down and watch while the president was acting very slowly in the face of a deadly virus threatening humanity?

Smart people invest their money where laws are in place to protect their investments and such laws are enforced. Does democracy allow people to act lawlessly? We are talking about lawlessness and disobedience to orders for the safety of the society. As it stands, Wike needs to ensure that those who disobey the order to lockdown do not put the lives of those who stay at home at risk. By the way have you asked why just a few people chose to disobey in the mentioned local government areas?

If Emperors are needed to make Nigeria better, let's vote them in and have a saner society. Li Kwam Yu did the same thing in Singapore in the 60s and 70s, go and see for yourself how Singapore is today. At a point he ordered those who urinated openly to be flogged and detained. Today Nigerians beg to go there. UAE had a very effective Sultan in the 80s who decided to transform Dubai. Today Nigerians rush madly to go there.

We must ask what is the problem with us. Why do we always choose to disobey laws? If the military leadersship in 1983-85 continued at the pace then Nigeria would have been a better place. As it stands we lost that opportunity. With due respect I do not know if you were of age at the aforementioned period. The democratic president we have today is not the military head of state we had then. Unfortunately our democracy, age and health issues have tied his hands.

All strong leaders must be supported to move the country to the next level.

The problem with this thought process is that it glorifies strong men and not strong institutions. Hence why when the strong-men like Quadaffi and Saddam fall, their nations crumble. Should any Leader in a democratic setting suddenly wake up and declare a law to retroactively take effect? If truly you understand how laws work, that alone is a red flag for the courts. If you don't believe me, ask legal practitioners around you about the enforcement of retroactive laws.

I'm not against punishing people who break the law with hefty fines, community service, or even a few weeks of imprisonment, but for a Governor to wake up and make uncouth and draconian pronouncements should be a source of worry to anyone who truly cares about democracy. I also hope you know that this dictatorship you are clamoring for wasn't exactly rosy - it is rife with state-sponsored assassinations, genocides and corruption. So maybe you should ask yourself 'Who would watch the watchman?'

I know auctioning those cars is not good, but why cant we for once just obey a simple instruction, what were they doing driving around when must business and are closed down, everyone is now blaming Wike, did he go to seize the vehicles from their houses, would just advise we all stay in how house for now.

The problem with some of this men running around is that they cant stand their wives at home, so they drive out, what are they looking for, i know of 2 persons that had medical case that was allowed to go, the vehicles would not be auctioned but we should support the government on this Covid-19 battle if not we would be on the losing side.

GOD bless you bro.
You will make it in life.
I always laugh at the joke we've constituted ourselves into and called a democracy. Simply aping the West because we lack a sense of self worth and introspective reasoning as a people. Until we identify our uniqueness as a people both positively and negatively we're making no progress.
It takes strong men to build or to facilitate building strong institutions. Nigeria, and I must add all of black Africa can only advance under a benevolent, visionary form of dictatorship. I dare say it is a lack of it that has brought us this low and if we do not get our acts together we can only sink further.
We were taught something in medical school: there's no democracy in an emergency. Case in point in a multiple vehicle accident scene, as a doctor it's not a scenario where you waste precious time deliberating or seeking opinion. You immediately get into your element and tell people what to do. You dictate. Delegate what you can. You hold that man by the leg! You check that little girl's pulse!! You raise that woman's head up! You clear that boy's airways like this!! You tie this cloth over the bleeding arm!! No time. Every second counts. Lives are at stake. My question is is this not where we are as a country? If what we are in currently as a country is not a dire crisis, a gruesome emergency somebody tell me exactly what it is. But we swallowed the concept of governance shoved down our throats by our colonial masters hook, line, sinker, fisherman and the whole goddamn boat and expect we will make meaningful progress. Negroes wake up from this inebriated, sedated consciousness. We have an extremely bloated Senate and House that is bleeding us with unmatched and historically unprecedented avarice and we call it democracy. Somebody tell me we do not need an iron hand to handle us in this country and I'll show you a pathological liar. We are lawless as a people, at least 98% of us. Tell us to go out and we choose to stay in. Tell us to stay in and we give you 1,001 reasons why we should go out and how there's nothing you can do about it.
The West has sold us their democratic form of government as the best thing for us but it is nothing but a lie from the pits of hell.
I'm glad you made reference to Lee Kuan Yew and how he transformed Singapore into an economic giant. He held sway for 31 years to achieve this. All the while the West were busy accusing him of highhandedness, lack of freedom of speech, political persecution bla bla... See Singapore today. The end has justified the means. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk of Turkey is another one of note. Paul Kagame of Rwanda who took the reigns of leadership in the aftermath of 1994 ethnic genocide is another classical example. Forget the fine boy look that guy is a ruthless dictator. But he has overturned the woes of the needless genocide and placed Rwanda in a positive socioeconomic trajectory.
I will always say this Visionary benevolent dictatorship is what can get the Black race out of the doldrums. Strong men with vision and unmitigated powers need only to surround themselves with and employ technocrats instead of hopeless self-seeking politicians. A benevolent dictator does not need to pander to every nonsense group, agency or constituency. He has a vision for his people and he pulls out all stops to achieve it. Get in his way and you'll be wasted. As in wasted. Any reasonable government would adopt this principle for our power sector for example. Nothing can kick-start our economic growth faster than instituting uninterrupted power supply to the entire populace. But no, we prefer to speak English at our different levels of tiers of government.
We go tey.

No. People may have to go out for emergency reasons hence they went out without exemption letters .
