That is the Nigeria they create for themselves. That is why the country is in shambles. Mixed messages to leadership. A people that donot know what they want. A sandwich of sentiment with reality that leads ro social constipation.

The whistleblower system is the only way these sort of thing can work. It should be extended to lifestyle issues of public servants set against the facts of their remunerations, simple. That is what happens in much of Asia. They just track your expenses and tally it with your income and taxes. You explain the difference.

But once again, to get this sort of framework operational you need strong legislation. To get legislation you need the right people in power and the strong activism to keep them focused. To do all that you need a citizenry that recognises they are in a pit but can get out of it.

Unfortunately that is where the whole thing breaks down. The citizens will either irresponsibly pass the whole thing over to God and then bow down to idolise their problems in human form, tieing up both the hands of God and man to act.

I use both.

After cleaning up with tissue paper, I wash the bumbum with soap and water.
Then wash both hands with soap under running water. Gosh. Just the thought of shaking all those hands BC (before covid).

I suppose when you say water you mean, soap and water and then a means to towel up after. If not, please use tissue.

Too many diseases are spread by hand contact. Just too many.

Can these Asian countries just stop giving these fools visa ni. Their businessmen claims no follow again as you can order online
Absolutely agree. The visa regimes of most countries out of Nigeria are too lax. Reduce the traffic to almost zero and Nigerians will force their government to act with better internal surveillance.

No visa should be issued on the basis of any rubbish written or filled on any form. Just state your name and social security number and the rest will be found out. If you have no data, then no visa, simple.

And we need to get the private sector involved in data mining. They have better tools than government and are well ahead of government in a potential race to catch up with criminality.

To my Christian Brethren,

Before you attend your annual cross-over ritual tomorrow for yet another prophetic rhetoric, please remember that all your favorite prophets prophesied on December 31, 2019 and NONE OF THEM SAW COVID-19, PANDEMIC AND GLOBAL LOCKDOWN.

How could "God" have spoken through his vessels and omitted the most crucial event of the year 2020 that impacted EVERYBODY on the planet?

Something is obviously missing.

If that omission does not make you awaken your critical thinking ability, then nothing will.

God gave you your head for critical thinking. Use it. It is not a decorative accessory on your shoulder.

I come in peace.

It is already revealed in scriptures. That in the end time there will be pestilences. What else do you want to hear. The Bible makes it clear. That the general trajectory of the earth and mankind is headed downwards. Things will generally get worse. Is this true or not.

Just get your principal to let democracy, let institutions and let the citizenry of this country work out their own salvation even if he and his government adds little or nothing to the value of their lives and their future prosperity.

Nigeria is no better in any fundamental or significant way than it was in 2015 so it is either the government has failed, democracy has failed or the people have failed.

You can hide behind Covid 19 all you want but if you will not permit the people of this country to express their feelings about the way the government you serve superintends over Nigeria, what gives you the moral right to blame anything or anyone else other than yourselves.

You have been given much, expectations are natural. Just shut it and do your duty. No one is interested in these failed narratives. Continue in self delusion and you will get a hotter 2021. There are 200million people in Nigeria. Better be careful.

If not that I will not like Nigeria to become a one party state, I certainly do not think the PDP is ready for government after just eight years in the wilderness. They have done absolutely nothing to enhance democracy, oppose the excesses of this government for better performance and have joined in crushing institutions through working in cahoots with the APC at the National Assembly.

We are tored and getting disinterested about these recurring stories. Anyone complaining about government security over reach should ask himself why the endSARS was not tooled for development. They should ask themselves why they stood by and watched the authors of the status quo corrupt, derail and destroy the movement for a better society through proper law enforcement nacross board.

I dare those DSS officials to stand on the road during the protests misbehaving. But now they have all been left off the hook they will only get worse, more recalcitrant and we can only blame ourselves as a society for failing to see the reforms through, failing to learn from citizens of other nations and failing to learn from history.

They will soon tag her as an enemy of state for daring to complain about 'constituted authority'.

Looks alright. With time it will become an industry and all the quirks tooled out of operations. Still have my doubts about government running commercial enterprises so I expect that to change for long term success when they have proven to the business world that the future of long distance land transport in Nigeria is rail.

Failed 'endSARS' protest. It was supposed to be a war to end all wars. In 'saner climes' recalcitrant establishments donot come back from that without becoming 'born again'.

Told you folks on all these police nonsense. Calling off the endSARS protest without extracting signed, sealed and delivered reforms is like taking pills for an infection for just a couple of days.

Back to do what?
What have you folks done to turn 'clap into dance'.
What solutions have you proferred to the myriad of challenges as a bloc interest/opposition group.
What have you done to present yourselves as a 'government in waiting'...

Now waiting means what?
It means service.
It means humility.
It means sacrifice.
It means listening.
It means excellence.

Have you folks demonstrated any of these as individuals in authority or as a group in advocacy. None.
So what are you 'coming back' to do....

As the morning tells the day so your disposition towards Nigeria today will tell what will happen if you get into authority.. Ill prepared, unready, speculative, and learning on the job are just some of the scenarios I can think about. In summary. You guys are not ready and not up to it.

Start postulating solutions to the present challenges in organized, viable and clear terms and Nigerians will start taking interest. This attitude of waiting for another to fail for you to become attractive will not just cut it. We will not accept a choice between horror and calamity. That is not the way to make progress.

Like I said earlier, Kukah is a very silly, bitter, old fool. He refused to move on. Gullible ones think he's their hero that says the truth while all he does is to ignite unrest, cause chaos
Words, words, words...
Exactly where has unrest been ignited.
Exactly where is chaos happening now.
State the facts, give examples. Locations, events,...prove it.

You have absolutely nothing but the fear of another inquisition of goverment. So touchy to any critique whatsoever. What you fail to realise is that the citizens of this country are so weakened by poor governance that they cannot even summon enough strength to fight one another on the altar of sentiment, so confused they cannot recognise their regular foes.

A thousand Kukah's will say the same thing and no one will act simply because Nigerians have been completely stripped of their dignity and pounded into submission. You guys are safe. You need not worry. Where you fly this country to is where it will land.

For once, I must admit that President Muhammadu Buhari has failed... President Buhari has failed WOEFULLY to deal ruthlessly with this anarchist parading himself as a Bishop! Too bad and I am highly disappointed in him!..

Instead of you to do justice, you are merely issuing warnings? Really? Is it until these pharisees and sadducees burn down Nigeria before you understand they are criminals and terrorists hiding behind the cloak of religion to unleash mayhem? Please DO SOMETHING URGENTLY! beloved father! Save us! Save Nigeria! Deal ruthlessly with enemies of this great country!

May God grant you the strength and wisdom to flush them out!

God bless all patriotic Nigerians.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
Mr. President should focus on the issues bedevilling this country. Yes, words can be converted to acts and provocation can lead to violence but a fireman will put out fires first before cooling down smouldering tinders.

It is ridiculous to think that today Mr. Kukah is the biggest challenge this government has on its hands. It speaks of an uncaring attitude towards issues Nigerians consider pressing which incidentally are the three legs on which you consider this government socially legitimate, three promises this government made: anti corruption, security, and the economy.

The goverment should focus on these not on statements by individuals. It should be galvanised to effect these promises. This is why it was elected.

Bishop Kukah resides in Sokoto with his entire Family, none of them have been forced or coerced into Islam, none of them have been attacked or mistreated in Sokoto, yet his hatred towards Muslims North makes him restless.

Even the Hausafulan Christians had rejected and disowned him!

Hausafulani Christians have wisen up...

They no longer fall for religious business men!

They now know their real enemies.

The only people celebrating the animal are the ipobs, PDP and some brainless bigots.

The only thing that matters to Arewas right now is development and peace!!

Days of religious intolerance among Arewa Christians and Muslims is gone.

When Arewa Christians or Muslims get killed in any village in the north.
Same people applauding kuka would come online to celebrate.

The Hausa and Fulani Christians can never unite with the enemies of the north just because of religion.

The north reject kuka!!

Northern Christians had already made it clear that kuka is on his own!!

Let him continue entertaining his ipob and PDP audience.

Hausa Christians and Fulani Christians are not Fools.

They stand by their region and their tribes not religion.
So to criticise this government is exhibiting 'hatred towards Muslims'....?\!?*@?!*!!
You mean you actually sat down with your tablet, thought for a while then penned this fable to present to supposedly adults of Nigerian heritage.
Are you insinuating that this government is a religious one, or a northern one or a Hausa/Fulani one.

And here we are thinking this government belongs to all 200 million men and women, at least that constituted part of the inauguration speech far back in May 2015.

While naysayers try hard to prove it is a Nigerian government so is free game to be criticised by all an sundry, and the government itself is completely confused about its identity, folks like you, arch supporters leave no one in doubt that it is sectarian with gaffes like these.

Please in your rush to support what is unnecessary (if the right thing is done) be careful to watch how you present a defence. Transporting ammunition to the warfront is a hazardous business for it can easily be the means of your own end. You guys are speeding up the much feared balkanisation of Nigeria. Others bring division by weak and immaterial intent, you guys are bringing its reality by serious words and glaring acts.

There was a time we said, 'a day is coming when even those enjoying the disaster called Nigeria then will beg for restructuring but also is will be too late'.

There is a degree of rot an entity will degenerate to that cannot be reversed. We are at the edge of that. This country will soon become unredeemable no matter the best intentions. But I know there are some who will rather lose all than cede some.
