Just listen to yourself. You pray the APC shouldn't lose Osun State meaning the governor should continue. Are the failings in that State not some of the reasons the former government at the centre was removed.

You know this further confirms to me that good governance IS NOT the prime reason for governments to rise and fall and it certainly is not a universal ideal amongst Nigerians.

Sefini. A gauntlet has been thrown down, he either read the names or be expell from the party. Oh, how I love the way the party publicly made his demand known.

At this point, the party have nothing to lose.
Are you serious. If he leaves and takes his group with him the APC will become a nominal minority party. The problem with the APC is the lack of leadership. Most of its members are more concerned about power and the trappings of office rather than on building the party structure. The stench of greed in its ranks is becoming repulsive to well-meaning people.

I predicted a split party a year and a half to elections in 2019. The seeds are germinating. Today it is between those in government offices and those in party offices. As the party people seek alternative candidates, the government people will seek alternative platforms. NewAPC loading....

You're very right. The way he talks to civil servants, you'll think he pays salary with his personal money.
At the end of the day democracy is all about the peoples choice. If poor quality leaders are elected then the judgement of the people must be called to question. No complaints. All I see is poor quality followership. Ignorant people driven more by rhetoric than by research. Is it not the same mouth he campaigned with to the admiration of the people.

When I say the faulty structure of Nigeria is the one and only, front and centre problem bedevilling this country. You guys say it is corruption. Okay, we have a corruption czar in the highest office, let's see. The structural imbalances will not put the right people in charge but rather seek to 'compensate' them i.e.' buy out' their conscience and competencies, the very foundation of corruption.

oloyedayo:
I hope all governors will follow suit. The idea of combining governance with religion baffled me while serving in Kaduna. Can u imagine a house of assembly member listing building of mosque as a constituency project. All such should stop even using govt money to send people on holy pilgrimage.
That is why Nigeria is the way it is. To you good governance is all about roads, power, education, to others it means different things. This lack of a synergy in ideals (of course exploited by the ruling class) is why governance is hard and development a mirage.

The fact of the matter is that a mosque is what members of that constituency wants and by democratic standards that is what they should get. That is freedom of choice. If the people want ramadan subsidies he (El-Rufai) will have to provide it. My guess is that we have not heard the last of this matter.

Politics › Re: Reason We Attacked Militants Hideout In Calabar - Ohwo by Reference(m): 6:56am On Jun 21, 2015
hansad:
Fake reasons.

Police action, not bombing, is required to stop such crimes as kidnap for ransom and other illegal activities stated by Owoh.

The real reason for the bombing of south south is sending coded message to militants in the South south that they should beware, else, they face the same bombings.

Regional government system with fiscal federalism should have stooped Boko Haram and militancy in oil producing areas.
The government continues to make the same mistakes over and over and over again. What should ordinarily be a criminal incident has been turned to a military operation. What should ordinarily require investigations and arrests is being turned to 'war'. This is how Boko Haram turned from a local activism to political criminality to full blown insurgency.

The state out of its sheer ignorance and incompetence is want to escalating incidents the same way a baby violently destroys a toy it cannot handle. People might point to the terrible violence perpetuated and the competencies in equipment and tactics display as justification for military action 'to match' them but this was the very reason the Mobile Police force was created. If their competencies have diminished over time or those of criminals have improved then they should be re-trained and re-tooled to handle matters of criminality.

Preceeding the North Hollywood shoot-out the military didn't take over California and bomb downtown Hollywood or even set up road blocks. They simply changed their weapons and tactics. Those criminals were 'taken out' by SWAT. Our equivalent here is MOPOL. What are they doing. Escorting politicians and guarding eateries. Very soon the military will follow suit. Eroded and corroded by watching its core purpose shift.

Those criminals that attacked the station were not warring against the state, their ideology is theft for monetary gain. If we prove to them that it requires the state to contend with them, they will take on the state as well.

Nigeria must get it right.

This man should be handed to the police,less these touts should be fished out with these pictures and made to face the full wrath of the law,what nonsense!
Mob justice is the product of frustrations arising from the inability of the common man to get justice against the very untouchables. So they typically overreact against those they can reach. The only way to stop mob justice is to have universal justice. But our institutions are too weak presently to ensure this.

Stop personalising and start institutionalising. Enough of Buhari, Saraki, Tinubu, Let us begin to speak and discourse about the Executive, the Legislature, the Judiciary, the Police, state of social justice, etc.

Let us hope the Nuclear power revolution takes Nigeria from third world to First world.

Nuclear power has the capability to provide thousands of megawatts of clean energy that will power our industrial development and make our nation stronger.

At the same time....we can explore other sources of energy. Like waste and solar powered forms.
Clean energy indeed. Have they told you what happens to all the spent fuel rods. Hope you know they will remain catastrophically hazardous for upwards of 10,000 years. Maybe they hope to store them deep under Aso Rock. Any slip up will make the environmental degradation of the Niger-Delta look like a tea party.

Abugab:
When you see young ones who have not worked or still in school now teaching a chief editor English and how he should write baffles me.
That PMB gets better with age like an old wine is not anything out of place.
It just goes to show how much knowledge they have of the English language.
It is this same attitude of unseriousness from the young ones that have made the old ones hold on to power knowing fully well how they will jeopardize the nation.
People who can not write a sentence with words spelt correctly have become professors of English on social media.
Nigeria youth must wake up and start taking issues of importance with seriousness.
If you have got nothing rational to contribute, move to the next topic.
But it is the same youth who voted massively to get him into power. Will you say they acted in ignorance then, perhaps acting under the influence of a new wine called 'hype' (in this season of beverages).

Don't worry, they will mature all round, improve their english but also take their social studies, government and history lessons more seriously so that come 2019 or whatever, when a certain Kwankwaso, Fashola, Atiku, Saraki, Rochas vies for office, they will believe less the hype and look more for the substance because they are better educated.

The greater the challenges, the steeper the learning curve and the faster the development. No one is to blame. We are all improving. Hopefully in decades to come we will not have to contend with an 'inexperienced' GEJ or an 'aged' GMB.

We may have entered another go slow as a nation.

The military chiefs we cried about in the campaign are still intact

NNPC leadership is still there drinking tea and laughing.

I had expected that he first sack military chiefs, retire the entire NNPC board and management and appoint acting head ...but alas, we are stuck.

the NNPC guys are aware danger is ahead and are having a swell time cleaning up their mess.

I have given PMB 90 days. at the end of it, Social media will go ablaze if the statusquo remains.
My friend it is not easy. Any hasty decisions can destabilize the economy. Take over should systematic and well thought through. Corruption as the national malaise is overrated.

Very nice. Lets say 500 x 5 = 2,500 people consume 2.5% of all the oil, taxes, duties, revenue plus loans of the Federal Government. Which means by rudimentary arithmentic the entire budget should go to 100,000 people, out of 170million. If 169.9million people feed, clothe, transport, power and secure themselves abeg what is the use of government and how do we expect 100,000 people to 'change' 169.9 million people.
