Symptoms of a failing nation

1. Army officer also part time bus driver
2. No synergy between both forces; could not ask for id or believe the id
3. Army mobilises without restraint and storms the dpo station
4 suspects behind counter can walk away foc
5. Any further breakdown in law and order will continue since police station closed
6. Dpo has lost all respect in the eyes of colleagues and citizens

Interesting angle. I didn't know sas and buhari are in law.

Accusation of deceit has followed Ali modu sherrif even when he was in anpp, crossed to pdp, then apc and now back to pdp.
Nigerian politicians don't half speak nonsense; so don't be surprised to see fayose bashing sherrif tomorrow when he inevitably betray pdp.
If pdp were serious party; should have gone for a clean break. Someone without baggage.

Very simplistic analysis(if it can be called that) of a complex socio economic issue.



Meanwhile most friends I know in d village tie wrapper and d men wear okrika, visit local chemist , buy emzor paracetamol

There are still a large population of Nigerians in the village. Your fictitious character does not represent them.

It takes long term planning to achieve economic dependence and reduced foreign import not fiat or imposing one sided sacrifice.

Politics / Re: Must An American President Have A Prior Military Background by Psalm18: 12:24pm On Feb 08, 2016
Missy89:


I see you deliberately forgot that Clinton was also a lying and deceptive president who was impeached and brought shame to the white house as well. Since you are focusing on the positive sides of Clinton, Why are you not doing the same for Nixon? His accomplishments like proposing EPA, Establishing NEPA, MMPA , ESA among other progressive agencies . Signed title 9 amendment banning gender based discrimination in schools,,Ended the Vietnam war, Detente with China, lowered voting age so students can vote just to name a few. Every US president always have a scandal. He was the only unlucky one to leave office as a result of one
Indeed Nixon efforts on the environment were commendable. I believe the epa and the NEPA acts have strengthened American fight against the abuse of its environment. (Rachel Carson silent spring was the spur to all that)
Clinton lied about his affairs but what Nixon did was a gross abuse of power. When Watergate came to light, he sought to discredit all those who wanted him to come clean.
My main focus was to dismiss the notion you need military background and I used Clinton records to show that while I used the most 'unlucky' Nixon records to buttress that point.

LegalAnalyst:
I now understand this tactic; he simply want the court to vacate the warrant of arrest given to EFCC which enable them declared him wanted. After that he will then come back to Nigeria and meet with Saraki to perfect how to scuttle the investigation and the possible trial. Hmmmm prison is smelling

But then I cannot just understand why Nigerian politicians always think they are above the law. Instead of this delay tactics why not concentrate your energy to prove your innocence.

#NaijaLegalAnalyst
Legal analyst. I presume you a lawyer.
What say you about the government lawyer not attending the hearing?
Second question, in your view why is efcc incapable of securing convictions for high profile criminals. No ex governor is in jail today, yet we know most of them have issues of graft against them.

Mr. Man, Ben has not sponsored any bill but anticipated bill. He pasted it on his twitter handle soliciting for people to beg their senators to support his bill but till date the bill has not seen the light of the day. The 8th senate have considered over 125 bills and 48 motions on issues relating to various aspects in the country. Ben should tell us his contributions in all the 125 bills. Through out the screening of ministers, your preferred senator did not contribute once. Ben is just a noise maker and no substance in his noise. His talking should be much on the hallowed chamber than on social media. Must of his argument on social media suppose to be discussed in the senate as part of senate oversight function. Talking it on social media cannot make the change we so desired except it is effected in the constitution.

You need help. Honestly if Ben Murray Bruce took your girlfriend, that's a matter between private citizens.
If APC saraki has been serious enough to keep the Senate open instead of shutting the Senate down every time he goes to Court, maybe his Ben bill will have undergone first reading.
As to your comment that he should not engage on twitter, I bet you are an old sad man not attuned with modern leadership.
Obama today's speaks on his Facebook pages about his thoughts on issues. Eg after the Sandy hook shooting. Secondly about the Syrian refugees and why American has to open its doors for legit refugees.
The ladders of effective leadership has a rung reserved for public opinion and feedback. Ben Murray Bruce is simply attuned with modern realities.
You seem like a robot, each time I give you answers you retort back with the numbers of bills passed.
Give a breakdown of all the members in the house vis a vis the bills they sponsored.
Let's make a comparison.
Are you capable of doing that or are you just a robot that repeats the same thing

Don't bother yourself! Another one will still come and make the same statement of not seeing him talk, when you give them one or two evidences they will change tactics.
Lol. You are right grin
I tire for the matter.
Another one said he has never sponsored a bill, I showed him.
Another one said he has done nothing for his constituency.
I showed him the pictures when he visited the widows of his area. ( it was even on nairaland)

My own state senator when he finds it important to visit home, comes in darkened car windows and stern looking mopols around him.
He attends to only his closest allies and tells everyone else to come to Abuja to see him. Of course the beautiful girls are exempted from this long process.
We now have someone open to using social media to cut down red tape and some people hate him.
They don't disagree on principles,; just hatred. It's mind boggling

I asked him just simple question. How many people can also fly in a cheapest flight? An advocate of common sense, should go on public bus to show he mean a business and also give his luxury cars for public transportation. Many of his followers have not gotten to airport tarmac in their life, let alone entering any cheapest class of plane. Ben is over-rating his capacity to put himself on the plate of ordinary people. If he so love people the way he profess, his pop corn should be sold at the normal rate they're selling it in the public and make his cinema gallery ticket affordable for the ordinary people. He can't continue to rob Peter to pay Paul and thinking he's talking sense.
You are mixing up issues.
You have no idea how basic business works. He should sell his pop corn free and make tickets free.
Ben has never rated himself, much less over doing it.

Bill Gates today has done so much in his private capacity as a global phillantropist so next time ask him to sell Microsoft computers same price as omatek before you respect him as philanthropist.

Mr. Man, for the records before you go bazaar for your Senator that only show you just a video of his contribution on the senate during deliberation.
So far, the senate have considered 125 bills and 48 motions on issues relating to various aspects in the country. Out of the bills considered, only three were passed, eight are in second reading and 114 are in first reading.

Out of 125 bills already considered on the floor, Ben should be man enough to show us his contribution in the 125 bills than showing us just single of his contribution. This man is just playing politics with virtually everything. His constituency voted him to go and talk at the hallowed chamber and not to continue talking on twitter handle. I don't think there would be any senator that cannot showcase a video of their contribution in the senate but how continuous it is when it matters. And how many bills has he sponsored?
Your point of this long Epistle?
You initially went with high fever, claiming he has never spoken on the floor
I provide you evidence. Now you want me to show you evidence of all the times each bill has been passed that Murray Bruce spoke.
You and you ilks are the issue with Nigeria.
How many times has your member of rep spoken?
Do you think I have no better use of my time than to engage with an you?
I bet you If I showed you more evidence/you'll still ask me when Murray will personally rescue the chibok girls.
Get a life
Were is it spelt in the consitution, that once a senator is elected, he should not air his views on twitter again?

[/i]When the matter was mentioned, the two parties were not in court. In view of this development the court was unable to fix any date for hearing.[i]

See the sort of counsels EFCC has working for them.
If the plaintiff counsel missed court, does the government lawyer who is paid by taxpayers have any reason to miss court.
This same lawyer will.collect bribe and lose a case and everyone will blame the judge.

Man, forget these guys!
It's only an irredeemable 'jellyfish' that will hate Ben Murray Bruce.

The man is too aggressive with the truth and common sense that it leaves no room in their shapeless skulls for lies and propaganda to inhabit.
Sometimes I wonder if these people across both sides of the party wants Nigeria to be fixed and we are all better or what they want is to score cheap points like primary school students.
At the end all the politicians are mostly friends who don't give a toss about the citizens.
The few of them trying to get in tuned with modern leadership should be encouraged.
I'm sure on Facebook people have constructively argued with Murray Bruce and he is better for it.
I keep saying it my own senator only had a Facebook account before the election, I think it's even some people that opened it for him
After he won; the page has been dormant.
No feedback, no information, nothing.
If you go to Abuja to see him, you will be treated like a leper except you have a big agbada and drive an expensive car.
The followership is also a big problem in this country.
We treat this guys like mini gods and then in turn wonder why we are so poor

People voted for him in order to contribute at the level of the red chamber not on twitter. How many bills has your twitter senator sponsored? How many motion has he raised? How logical are his arguments in the chambers? What has he done with the constituency allowances given to him? These are the yardstick to know a performing senator, not by reducing yourself to an e-rat!
I know for a fact he has a sponsored a bill on the need for a reform of prosecuting criminals by giving benchmark on which EFCC lawyers have to meet.
I do know for a fact he has visited his constituency and donated clothes and food to the widows.
I do know he contributed to the debate on the budget where Dino Melaye was heckling him.
I attached the link.
If you don't follow him on Facebook you won't know this.
What I'll.like to know. Is what state you from and what your OWN senator has done.
BTW, I'm.not from Bayelsa state. I'm.from the north but I will rather pray my.indolent senator at least has a social media account which he reads than keep quiet all day long

Yes..you're right, Clinton is probably the best American president in US history if not for his sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky.
Jimmy carter was also on the fore front of human right and equality all around the globe.
Indeed.
I don't see anything special with military background or not.
I say it because in Nigeria we are quick to copy Americans when it suits us.
Very soon people will be advocating that we should only elect ex military men without much thought to the whole story.
Sadly the two non military men we have had( shagari and Jonathan) were not any better to the others.

Murray Bruce 'SPEAKING' articulately on the floor of the house

I'll love to see the videos of the senators of abia state
Kaduna state( apart from shehu sani) kwankaso, Oyo Central, Zamfara (maybe apart from the ex governor), yobe state or their social media accounts..
These men and women were elected to be voice of their people. Having a social media account in the present times is not wrong.
I prefer my state senator to be on Facebook or Twitter where I can easily reach him than visit Abuja and be told to go back and book an appointment.

It was on twitter, Ben Murray Bruce paid the fees of a Nigerian student abroad who could not complete his thesis

Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
But you don't blame Ben bruce on this.
He was making a point he has never flown first class, some Internet loafers dig up a picture and claim it first class.
Now, my Friend. Does Murray Bruce not have a right to response?
If he keeps quiet, everybody will.call him a hypocrite.
You cannot win sometimes in Nigeria because everything is tainted with politics-cheap politics at that.

Some people have argued that why is Murray Bruce always on twitter. Is it not better to debate issues than be like the other 209 members who are not on twitter and are also not contributing on the floor.
Meanwhile a simple YouTube search will show that Ben Murray Bruce has been active on the floor.
During the budget hearing he made a strong speech and the link is easy to find on youtube.
It's a myth to say Ben bruce does not speak during debates. It's a ploy to silence him.from engaging on social media.
Ever since David Mark lost elections I have never heard his voice on the floor and he is not on social media as well.
I cannot remember the last time I heard akume debate on the floor. I can go on with names

Nixon was a lying and deceptive President who brought shame to the white house.
Obama legacy will largely be favorable. At the very least he is not guilty of the lies Bush Jnr used in going to war in Iraq.
My.point been Obama and Clinton were not ex military men but performed creditably well. Nixon and Bush served in the military
Clinton is seen as been responsible for the positive growth in America economy when he was President.

On all sides of the present leading candidates none had active military service.
The notion an American president has to have a military background is bs.
Obama soundly defeated mc Cain, a veteran in the last election.
Empathy, fairness, good judgement call, intelligence are qualities I will rather my President has than just an ex gun man.
Bringing it to Nigeria, was Abacha, IBB, Gowon and all the other clowns that brought us to the sorry state not military men?
