Mehn that electricity tariff hike was just daylight robbery,I don't know how people just accept it,they should have left it as typical Pay as you go no light no pay.

My dear brother this is one reason I have no single likeness for those youths who see APC has their saving party when in actual fact all politicians are the same in Nigeria. Trust me, Fashola is gradually digging his political grave, its a question of time.

erico2k2:
Thank you very much,We need to always ask strong questions when govt try to force through certain policies.let Fash build his own highway with complete street furnitures then Toll it,WE WILL PAY.

Simple as ABC my brother, I can wager going by the brilliant contributions of folks like you here that dude called Fashola has no business being a minister let alone a Governor at least going by his "reversed kleptomanic robbing the poor to pay the rich" antics he used in governing Lagos. My brother, a visit to that Lagos will tell you everything about the stealing nature of the over-hyped Fashola. Tell me what is working in the power sector? Yet this same socio-vampire has increased the electricity tariff.....and now he is planning to toll our roads then you are forced to ask, what happened to "road tax" introduced by Obj. Love your contributions bro

erico2k2:
Bro don't mind some busybodies here who have never buy ticket once in thier full life trying to act as if they know how, can U imagine He saying almost all roads in london are tolled when not one single road is tolled in London, not even tower bridge, Y should we pay tolls when we already pay road tax to maintain the roads I am waiting for him to name the rd in London that has tolls.This is how people just accept everything thrown at them without asking questions, why should govt toll the bridge?of what purpose would our taxes be paid for then?I once argued that the subsidy should not be removed as that's the only payment govt do that helps the common man rather they should fight the corruption within the subsidy payment and volume of supply.

You are a reasonable human being God bless you continually.... That Fashola is a smart rogue.

You can help yourself to more since you are intent on arguing & I'm just not interested in pointless debates that won't go anywhere!!

when you are done, check each countries economy base, amount of Taxes the citizens are levied!! & the Laws guiding the conducts of the citizens & adherence to laid down procedures..

As for the minimum wage issue, check the per capita & GDP of each!! Pay is relative to a nations productivity!!!!


*mic drop*.. bye!

I am disappointed in this your blinded support for anything that will add more pains to the suffering of the people, dear don't you think a lot had been voted for the ministries Fashola (the smart rogue) is commandeering? Why not embark on road projects people can see and feel and rejigged the power sector for optimal services (@ least constant 18 hours daily power supply) before bringing in your miserable levies and charges at least I was aware of many tolled expressway in Nigeria yet we know their conditions till date so why is Fashola behaving like a bloody rogue? Does he looked like someone who can deliver with his wrong moves of taxing and taxing going by his antecedents in Lagos. This Country is bleeding and dying yet you folks trust these crafty politicians more than your imams and pastors. I don't share your sentiments on this one....tolled roads in Western Countries are mainly in good conditions as a result of strict and working maintenance culture sustained over the years... So what is Fashola saying. You are smarter than this dear...haba!

First thing first let me catch my breath......now let me exhale; Nigeria for the past 46 years has entered the sleeping mode as a giant. In 1960 after independence, the military struck in 1966 as a result of gross corruption in the hands of our highly corrupt politicians despite understudying the Parliamentary system of government which doesn't give room for too much corruption, nepotism, favouritism, bribery, tribalism and the likes yet our then politicians circumvent the less corrupt system to enrich themselves making themselves tin gods which brought the military in......from the time of the civil war till date is 46 years and if we are to compare and contrast military rule and civilian rule it is crystal clear that military rule is more economical, prudent, focused, proactive than this garbage we called democracy.

I am no fan of Buhari but I believe in his stance against corruption are for real.....unfortunately, when u saw his economic team and cabinet and I saw the likes of "demons" we were used to like Amaechi, Fashola, Audu Ogbeh, Danbazzau holding sensitive posts there and there I knew that Buhari cannot take us out of the woods. Tribalistic leaders and politicians are not what we need now but sound minded technocrats.....too late to start making mistakes. I really sympathize with Nigerians but I don't pity Buhari because he is not sincere in fixing Nigeria

This is how real Countries who care about their future and lives of their citizens roll....not some clownish demonic Nigerian politicians who will rather turn funds for defense and security into their private tills and start sharing amongst their demonic selves. Just imagine if ordinary Boko Haram now turned "Cattle Herdsmen" can give the "giant of Africa" so much headache to quell tell me how Nigeria can survive in s dog-eat-dog era as ours with our leaders lackadaisical attitude towards the lives of their citizens. Egypt is sticking $4.4 billion (about N963.6 billion that is if I am using N219 to a dollar) just for its military strength. Nigeria is one huge joke with these set of jokers we called leaders right from 1960 till date.

donbenedict:
yh buh those mudafvkers need to quit tagging the black nation third world countries

.
Nobody tagged you third world but your leaders gave you that moniker. Develop your Countries and see how you'all will be called "Developed Black Nation".

Adelaide2:
You are happy to have Bill Gates and his likes spend some of their billions in Nigeria tackling Malaria, and Polio and HIV and VVF, and providing clean water and improving your agriculture, but you are miffed at the idea of Dangote building ranches and making a profit from them, while at the same time solving a problem (fulani cattle rearers versus farmers)? Are you for real?

Welcome to Nigeria where our youths are their own worst enemies....you have said it all judging from your excerpts in the conversation. I will never have any respect to majority of the youths style of debates. Why? It seems most of them ate still evolving! Dangote as an astute businessman is extremely shrewd in business unfortunately his trailers (means of conveying his products across the country) had killed many souls in this Country yet nobody is suing the greedy Mallam. He got many FG policies waived for him hence, he is making times 10 in profit than his colleagues in the same business across the globe, yet this same "billionaire" is yet to touch many lives even in his Northern enclaves like his fellow billionaires do in their respective communities....yet you see youths standing up for him like he cares about them

fcbonsai:
same way GEJ had nothing to do with boko haram but was still blamed for it

You just took the words out of my mouth.....

Chief Ayodele Peter Fayose, the best serving governor to emerge from the Southwest... Respect to you Sir.

..........and Saraku is still the Senate President? How unfortunate! this is one area I like about Obasanjo's brutality.....

Welcome to the Zoo indeed.

mikolo80:
why baba de allow this idiot de insult am like dis na.

At your age you can't pick some salient points raised by a man who is within your age bracket the only nonsense thing you can say is calling a wise man who cares about your future idiot.....hmmnnnn may God have mercy on you.

iamrealdeji:
I wouldn't be surprised to see my Jewish Ipod brothers start to print and sell "Free Bukola" shirts and handbills. Saraki watch out,these Jewish folks want to use you for business. The Igbo boys no dey do anything for free. Nna,dem Ibo boys no dey support for free

I don laff so tey I no get strength again I swear my Igbo brethren don suffer for your hand

This is the need of the hour

Caseless:
O ye shidren of hate, kachikwu is getting commendation from those that once said we can't do it.
What sayeth thou?

Allahu Akbar

I am beginning to suspect the plan by some enemies of Nigeria...."herdsmen" herdsmen ......this is what I keep hearing.. .....these same herdsmen that depend on their hosts to sustain their cattle will still be the one to "attack" them in the cool of the night and burn down their host's homes to achieve what? This is nothing but an external force at work wanting to break us up. As much as I detest the unruly and pugnacious nature of the nomadic Hausa/Fulani's, I don't think the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen that we see almost everyday are the ones killing and maiming people around.....no no no I don't think so. Nigerians beware some forces that are living with us are playing the "ethnic games with our psyche" let's be watchful.

epistleNow:
That is democracy!!!
Unlike the one practised by PDP

Who told you that? this is simply a system of government put in place by the "bigger monkeys" to catch the "smaller monkeys" and on rare occasions to teach the "stubborn and wayfaring bigger monkeys" some lessons.....this case will drag on till Supreme Court says otherwise unfortunately, no military tribunal to dish out justice to the evil thief called Saraki. Democracy my brown balls....

This is the ideal time for Saraki to resign as SP in the interest of peace.....

DropShot:
Very unfortunate.

While I will support anyone to criticize and urge the govt to act very swiftly against the terrorists called Fulani herdsmen, this reality is the more reason to support the govt in its bid to establish controlled ranches across Nigeria.

Chest-beating and bragging (just like the guy below) that these terrorists will be dealt with should they come to carry out their act of terrorism of maiming and killing innocent citizens will not solve any problem but instead worsen it. They are terrorists and you bragging to face them are not. So, who wins?

The herdsmen, from time immemorial, have been known to be violent and act irrationally. The only difference now is the advent of social media and better news coverage. While growing up, I could recollect some of their atrocities I witnessed.

I just returned from a ban if not I would have said to you what you will never forget in your life.....that is if you have blood flowing in your veins. To my Enugu brethren take heart but in this modern age I still blame y'all for crying out loud you all folks got wind of these bastards before now what stops you folk from hunting them down.....too shameful and bad.

Pheals:
is saraki synonymous 2 disgrace

You may not be far from the truth.

.... ......as if people care about him

bremmery:
Go and read or ask about life and time of this man called Babangida, you would be totally convinced that he is more part of the problem than Obasanjo. I am not exonerating Obasanjo at all, if you were full grown adult and conversant with Nigerian politics in the eight years rule of Banbangida, I believe you would reserve your comments on him.

Humour me more, I am not a kid to know some things happening around. You wondered why IBB (during his 70th birthday) said that if he had the type of funds the Obasanjo led government of 1999-2007 had he would have turned things around....even with limited funds IBB made use of technocrats like False, Dr Chu Okongwu, etc to shape things up in the era of SAP but obj's military era was more of wastefulness. Under his democratic reign, obj embarked on one of the most wasteful project ever, the revamping of Ajaokuta rolling steel coy knowing fully well it won't work... Abegi humour me more.

faaz24:
I wonder what kind of a criminal Saraki would have been if he wasn't born with silverspoon

I tell you my brother.....

modath:
You called it my E-Huz. , but you know that thing about Patience & steaming hot soup bah? He will be "licked", have no doubt!

Saratiff 's lawyers & marabouts are the people "doing him" , they've seen a cash cow & they are going to milk the sucker till it buckles...

Jibrin & Goje already don thrown in the towel, they are not fighting the budget proxy war o his behalf anymore, wonder what's left to blackmail the govt with?

On point!

modath:
Mynd44 lalasticlala, Please tell this man to stop the judgement shopping, he won't get any Judge that will go against SC's ruling!!

Belgore and co are only milking him....


Tuale4u abeg help hold Pa chukwudi44...

You wondered why I suggested to you then that only a systematic brutal approach can bend this bastard. For crying out loud this should be the 9th month on this mutula's case........this guy needs his azz kicked real good

placeofallure:
Who is your History teacher? He must've done a bad job or you're hard of hearing. Now, get your lessons straight! it's the other way round Babangida spoilt Nigeria beyond salvaging. Obasanjo, though not a saint himself, did the little he could. If IBB tries by any means to meddle by half as OBJ, we'll stone him to death. All the Northern evil men that have misruled this nation, God will judge them "

Who is this talking about history? who scripted the Presidential system of government for Shagari? Who privatise all our public corporations? Who floated Transcorp to siphon public funds?......and many more IBB may not be a saint but Obj is worst.

babaireti:
You must be too young to understand the many atrocities of this Man,how he institutionalise CORRUPTION,Killed Journalists ,killed Economy and scuttled the people's June 12 Mandate and brought us to our present political and economic comatose.

A bad Man that he is

Can you read and understand at all? Didn't I say he knew he was part of our problems ...

Pheals:
correction .... Na money my mind dey early this morin o

If I hear.....you like that thing this early morning joor...say the truth and shame the devil

..... the last pix though, Bubu looking like a typical Fulani man...see feet

......we all are sinners before God. One of the few past Presidents of this Country I still respect very well....you will never see him "forming relevance" because he knew he was part of the problems of this Country. He hardly meddle in Nigeria's political imbroglio but maintain his silence at his uphill mansion only offering his sincere advice when consulted. A professional military man to the core, unlike one Ota farmer always "forming relevance and holier-than-thou" when we all knew he was the major problem of this Country. Get well soon Sir, a fine soldier with dignity.
