What difference does it make in the life of an average Nigerian? Fuel is still @145 of which many can't afford and this is part of what drove down the consumption. It would have made sense to me if the cost of fuel has reduced drastically.

We need practical progress that would translate into a better life for the man on the street and this is why this govt was elected. By 2019, we will look to see if the life of the man on the street is better off than what it was prior to 2015. So instead of fighting "wailers" with propaganda , govt should concentrate on delivering practical process not theoretical one.

This guy has gotten what he wants from Tonto finally and that is the fame to go along with his billions. People never knew he existed before Tonto came on board. Sharp man, I see the game plan.

Your rate can be my rate

Hahahaha. which one come be Osibanjo rate? Make Bubu no catch you ooo, na kuje straight.

Imagine if this one is near a peaceful anti buhari protest, this one will just open fire sharp sharp and kill as many people as possible.

Naija we will always have something to hold on to yesterday it was NK bail, today na Obas issues we will leave national matter and concentrate on Matias.

Our looters always serve us something hot to argue, to say and distract us from d major issues..in fela voice my people dey inside bus suffering and smiling.

So the life of a Nigerian should revolve around looters that we should not talk about anything else? Nothing else should matter to us except looting politicians?
Bros, the small small issues are also part of life and must be talked about.

With the way things are going, Mama Patience will soon convince Jonathan to also decamp.

Trust me, it will happen if not 2019, it will be 2023. Anybody who falls for these politicians is just an idiot.

This is why I hate all Nigerian politicians. They all have skeletons in their cupboards yet condemn others for the same sin they are guilty of.

But how can we eradicate corruption if the only time someone is investigated is only when he starts criticizing the government of the day. So if any politician keeps aligning with any govt in power, he will be free to enjoy his loot. I think we are not yet ready to eradicate corruption

Did he declared his assets, YES OR NO? YES he did.

Assets declaration is not your business, but you are here on the internet killing yourself over the same assets declaration.


Are you bipolar or just confused.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Bros, go and meet your rivals a. k. a Wailers and do your normal e-fights over politicians. I'm not on your level ooo. BTW, the person I addressed kept quiet but you come carry the matter for ya head, na you be Zahra husband or BMC secretary? Lol, una no go Kee mi.

deomello:
You said he did not, but he did.


You can go on and on about the location, google map and GPS of his assets, that's all semantics and straw grasping, fact remains that he declared his assets.

He did not, that is not how to declare your assets if you want to be truthful. He promised to make the real declaration after it has been verified by the body in charge. The verification has been completed and he tactically shunned making it public because he does not want Nigerians to know his worth.

Make no mistake, his assets declaration is not my business and does not in any way surprise me. After all, I see all Nigerian politicians from the President to the local govt chairmen as criminals and that is what they are including PMB. I pity you all who have taken sides with these criminals instead of speaking the truth because at the end, they win and you lose. **That Nigerian politician I will defend has not yet been born. **

deomello:
The president has integrity because he did declared his assets, on the other hand, no integrity and stealing is not corruption JONA refused to declare his assess and we didn't here you and your kind calling him names.


Your hypocrisy stinks.

Is that how to declare assets? Is that how Yaradua declared his own assets? What are the location and value of those houses and shares? From this declaration you showed, what is his worth?
Bros, GEJ is corrupt and I can never support him. I was pointing out that PMB is a typical Nigerian politician lacking in integrity. Not everyone who calls out PMB supports GEJ, why is so difficult for some of you to understand?

Adminisher:
Education is a liberator.
That is why I am surprised that you think Nigeria is a 21st century country. That is number one.

Number 2 is that there is no single politician in Nigeria who is capable of running a 21st century country.

Let me also now shock you with more truth. Even in the developed world the only people capable of running 21st countries have been Barak Obama, Justin Trudeau, Angela Merkel and the President of China.

Now let me ask you, do you like Obama?
I am asking in the context that Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Zuma, etc c are not 21st century leaders. Infact the American populace rejected 21st century leadership. Europe is about to reject 21st century leadership.
In Africa only the leaders of Zambia, Rwanda, Kenya (to an extent), Ethiopia and maybe Morocco show 21st century leadership.
Kagame of Rwanda is very good and Kenya's and Morocco's are 50-50

A lot of people are intellectual confused in Nigeria.
All Nigerian politicians are dull, corrupt, unintelligent people. Buhari at least has integrity and an ideology. A stong ideology .

Finally, being educated means having the discipline to see truth and say it. 21st century is about freedom of views, independent institutions, self expression.
Buhari has permitted a Senate that his party has majority to oppose his appointee s, he has permitted EFCC to go against DSS, he has actively ignored three factions within his own.party. He has given broad and sweeping authority to a VP whois a xtian

Please let us face hard facts. The truth is truth
The man is as 21st century as they come and within the limits of how much a Nigerian with the decay in society can be 21st century.
Only he won't abide CORRUPTION and if you try to divide Nigeria he will dig your grave.

If PMB has integrity as you said, why did he not declare his assets publicly? which is the first test of integrity, What is he hiding? Bros, it would you good to defend only people you know personally not on what you read about people.

The prophet is high on cheap weed. People should stop disturbing our ears with World War 3, abi Na Dem go fight am? There would be nothing like World War 3. People should just chill joor.

Victorclean1:
These people will never agree to any truth so far it concerns PMB. Is a big shame and Nigeria will never progress under this situation. Check the whole Muslim nations and see the murder of democracy. Same here in Nigeria. Is only God that will save us.

Nigeria can go to hell as long as the image of PMB, GEJ and all of thier political god's are intact. That is how the roll here ooo.

I have always known that there is more to the SGF suspension. You can't just defend and clear the SGF just months ago and now suspend him for the same issue. It is either PMB is incompetent, not in control of things or being forced by someone as this story alleged.

If he was incompetent in handling the SGF issue at first, it then cast a doubt on every other anti corruption posture of his. No wonder they can't successfully prosecute these criminals.

But then, it shouldn't end in suspension, I expect to see the SGF behind bars even before proper investigation as it is being done to others.

nabiz:
I am tired of Nigerian. This may be my last comment on politics section to avoid heart-attack. I will be happier and more useful to myself it I focus my efforts on how to build my company.

Bros, let these idiots keep fighting each other over politicians that would become friends at the end of day. Nigerians are just too gullible.

LionDeLeo:
Adoke, some lost people settling in some erosion-ravaged communities are coming for you.

Are you guys ever going to get tired of this stupid online fights? A fight that produces no winners at the end but losers. You abuse them, they abuse, nobody wins.

Buhari, Aisha, Zahra etc does not know you exist somewhere
GEJ and his own looters do not know that those wailers you are fighting exist.


So why are u niggaz fighting and hating yourselves over people who no send una?

Don't you guys think this is the height of stupidity among you guys?

Is there anyone here who can honestly tell me what Nairanders gain by tearing thier pants online in defense of these thieves we call politicians?

Do you guys forget that the Ameachi u defend today was once in PDP for more than 8 yrs? Do you also remember that the FFK you defend today was once in APC?
If that is the case, what makes you think that the Wikes and Fayoses cannot join APC and become Tinunbu and PMB right hand man tomorrow and Ameachi will now be the enemy of PMB?
Can't you niggas see that these politicians from PMB, to GEJ to thier allies are just criminals using you guys to fight their selfish battle?
When will Nigerians have sense?

You cannot fight corruption with corruption. This is our greatest impediment to winning corruption war in this country.

They can't cancel it. POD is a strategy that has boasted thier sales and if they cancel it, it is to their own disadvantage. Many people will now prefer going with cash to the market instead of ordering online. Afterall it is still the same agent that would still deliver the already paid goods so what is the difference?

I think, the best thing they can do is to tell people to go to their centers and collect thier goods or tell thier agents to stop entering people's homes or hidden places when delivering goods.

The zombies are praying and hoping that the money belongs to the GEJs boys while the wailers hope and pray that the money belongs to Ameachi or PMBs boys.

At the end of the day, both the wailers and zombies are not interested in Nigeria but are only interested in protecting the so called "integrity " of thier idols in APC and PDP.

For me, I go just de watch una dey fool unasef with fake and dishonest anti corruption fight.

Lilimax:
What may be about to unfold on the Korean Peninsula could be far, far more serious and destructive than the continuing charnel house that is Syria’s brutal conflict.

Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that the world may stand on the very precipice of a Third World War.

The US has deployed an immensely powerful naval strike group to the seas around the Korean Peninsula. China has reportedly rushed 150,000 troops to the North Korean border.

But what makes all this truly terrifying is the unpredictable and compulsive nature of the two main players involved – President Donald Trump and the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

I believe that the only way of averting full blown crisis is for the United Nations Security Council to initiate urgent talks aimed at defusing the rush to war.

This is something with the former UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon – who is himself from South Korea and for whom I worked in recent years as a speech writer and advisor – would agree.

The frightening truth is that unless someone brokers a peace in this escalating war of words, that promised ‘sea of flames’ really could flare up – and engulf the world.

Copied

Bros, there would be no war. This is not the first time we are seeing this. Even if there is a war, it would be restricted to The US, south and North Korea, there would be nothing like WW3. You people should stop this hype.

BMC crew nko?

Too bad. The question is: When are where will Islamic murderous terrorists strike next? Who among the Muslim's will be the next suicide bomber?

They struck in Sweden last week, struck in Egypt today, they will strike again somewhere Next Week, it is thier way of life. Blood suckers.

You guys are disturbing yourself with this kind of argument. The question should be: When are where are the Islamic terrorists striking next? Who will be the next suicide bomber?

scully95:
I may agree to some extent with you about not vouching for military hardware that is not combat tested but if for anything, i would trust more Russian legendary weapons more than the U.S cos just by checking the number of wars and battles Russians have countered, something U.S could never ever survive. Yet Russia used its Military hardwares and for that reason, i can to some extent vouch for Russian weapons.

Just check how the hesbolar kicked the Israelis out in 2006 war. let me also remind you that all the weapons used then were made by the Russians. Ok. Recently, Nuclear capable ballistic missile was shut down in eastern Ukraine during the Donbass war. That was done by the Russians ok

Now lets even analyze it according to Saker
He recently said,
"I have an important update: based on Russian sources, including video footage and the reports of one Russian journalist on the ground, Evgenii Poddubnyi, it has become clear that the US strike was largely symbolic. Here is the evidence:

The Russians were given a warning which they, of course, passed on to the Syrians. The Americans must have assumed that this would happen.
The Syrian airbase was lightly damaged: a few number of aircraft were damaged or destroyed, but many of these were in repairs and could not fly. Fuel storage tanks were destroyed. A number of aircraft bunkers were damage or destroyed. A few barracks were also destroyed.
There were 6 or 7 casualties, which is very little.
Crucially, the runways did not suffer.
Now here is the really intriguing thing: it appears that only 23 out of a total of 59 US cruise missiles hit the base. The rest are unaccounted for. This could be due to all sorts of reasons, including Syrian and Russian air defenses or Russian electronic warfare. I tend to believe that the latter is the cause. But then, this begs another question: why did the Russians let 23 of the cruise missiles through? Possibly to appease Trump and not force him to re-strike. Other possibility, to make sure that the political fallout from this stupid and reckless attack still come back to hurt the United States (had they destroyed all the cruise missiles this would not happen).

As for the Russian political reaction, I find it rather flaccid: Russia has condemned the attack and suspended the Memorandum of Understanding on Prevention of Flight Safety Incidents in the course of operations in Syria signed with the US.

Meh, I am rather unimpressed."


Why I am slightly agreeing with you is why did Russia let close to 23 hit the Air-base ?
Could it be true just like you said that you cant vouch for military hardwares or they just let it go ?

If they Russians repelled almost 20 of the missiles then they system really tried. See, No missile defense system can survive a full scale assault in a real war. The percentage of what you can defend against is the indices you will be able to judge the effectiveness. This is why some countries priortize attack weapon system over defense because in a full out and out war, missile defense system no matter how good will be subdued and will become useless.
So forget about the hype, the Russians know the limitations of thier system even though like any other rival military, they will portray it to be the greatest.
Secondly there was no way the US would have struck without informing the Russians so that they can leave the area, the problem is between US and Syria not US and Russia. Russia did not strike the US backed rebels without informing the US first.

See, forget about the tough posturing of this super powers, they will always know thier limit.

Is there any Nigerian politician that is not a thief?

scully95:
Trust me, if they need a countermeasure, they sure know where to get it. Ukraine has loads of that S-300. The simple truth is that the S-300 is still as powerful as anything if only outdated S-200 could shoot down F-16 recently in Syria (that the Isreali denied but were giving threats later to destroy Syrian Airfield, Now U.S has just helped Isreal to do just that).

Wonder what S-300 would do. It will surely destroy exiting ones.. Forget it, Russia is not sleeping when it comes to making Hardware, i mean real military hardware for real combat zone. S-300vm in Syria, except if it gets to the Isis hand, then what you are saying could be very possible and fast. Even if that, it will take years to develop and test a countermeasure on it. It does not work that fast. By then you think Russia would be sleeping ?

Even as we speak, Russia has already developed S-500.. Russia is not sleeping and keeping its game tight and Up to date !

Don't bet your money on some of these propaganda you read on military hardware. Russia is afraid of America as America is afraid of Russia military. Some of these weapons are intentionally overhyped and the intention is to keep the enemy from attempting to attack.

Do not vouch for a weapon system until it has been battle tested in a real and even war. This is why at the end of the day, the big boys with their big weapons are cautious on going to war with themselves because you can't be too sure.

It is one thing for the S300,400 or 500 to knock out enemy missile and aircraft here and there but it is another thing for it to hold on to perform in a full scale war.

You guys stay on your computer and be hyping and analyzing war scenarios you have not witnessed but the guys involved who understand what is on ground approach things with caution irrespective of thier super weapons.

Just30:
exactly non of them will confronted each other over Syria .
But it might just happen if the US try to insert itself to destabilize the already existing structure in Syria.

Nothing will happen. Putin though a tough man is not stupid. It will just affect relations for a while ( and that is just to save face) and everything will be die down.
When Putin bombed rebels supported and armed by America, what did America do? NOTHING.
When Turkey shot down Russian plane resulting in the death of their soldier, what did Russia do? NOTHING.
These guys just put themselves in a tight corner by thier rhetoric but find out they can't really do much when they are dared.
This is the same strategy going on with US and China in the SCS. China knows America will not be stupid to go to war over SCS and they do whatever the like not minding the rhetoric coming out of America. America knows China can't attack them in SCS despite China's tough talk and they sail and fly over the SCS and China will do nothing.
So Bros, nothing will happen between Russia and the US even if the US bombs again.

scully95:
You know the strategy Putin is using in Syria. Remember when Turkey shut down SU-24. He tried to manage the situation, I think he would do the same thing now and just warn the U.S not to try it again. Israel has been doing it also, don't forget but not this huge as to sending 23-59 tomahawk missiles to Syrian Airfield.

Where Putin is going with this is clear, it will kill the relationship between U.S and Russia. Russia may use this (hopefully if at all it would respond) transfer some powerful defense system to Syria. Remember the work of S-300vm is to shut down all Cruise missile shock like in Iraq.
That S-300vm is also in Syria but only protecting the Russian forces.

Russia will not put out her S300 and S400 in Syria anyhow forget about propaganda. They are also afraid of giving the Americans the opportunity to study and develop strategies to manuover the system.

In fact, it benefits the US more if those missile defense system is in Syria because it's an opportunity to get first hand view and experience of the system and get a countermeasure to it. The Russians know this and will protect one of thier best deterrent arsenals.
So don't expect a full air defense system in Syria, it does not benefit Russia for now especially with Israel lurking behind to gather data from it.

Zoharariel:
More than half of the world population are aware & positive that the chemical attack in Syria was only used as a pretext by Amerika to invade Syria officially.

There's no doubt that the attack was carried-out by the CIA or atleast their terrorist proxies - as Russia or the Assad forces have absolutely nothing to gain in killing the same civilians that they have been fighting to protect.

A lot of questions begging for answers are running through my mind at lightning speed.

What happened to the S-300Growler? What happened to the S-400Triumf ?

How would other small & weak Nations - who have hitherto, been looking up to Russia for support & protection feel? Two words: Betrayed & Disappointed!

What then is the essence of the Russian intervention in Syria if all Putin could come up with is a toothless warning & condemnation?

I can understand that Putin has been trying to avoid direct confrontation with NATO but for how long shall we continue to overlook Amerika's impunity & blatant disregard for international law?

A popular Yoruba adage says: When the heaven falls, it won't fall only on a single person's neck - it affects everybody.

Scully, Putin is making me boil in anger!

So if you are Putin you go to war with America abi? You guys stay in the comfort of your homes and cheer others to war.

Putin has done what he should do and this is exactly what America will do if it were the other way round. The losers are the people who have allowed themselves to be used as weapon testing ground not Russia or America. So if you think Russia will confront the US militarily because of Syria then you must be dreaming.

Same story yesterday, today and probably forever. Who will rescue Nigeria?
