Rubbish! How many times are these people going to be reminded that the said money was not captured in this year's budget because it's Jonathan that prepared it? How come are they not asking why Jonathan didn't complete the Second Niger Bridge, four years after he made the promise in 2011?
That it was not in this year's budget doesn't mean it cannot be discussed on the floor of the house to see if it could be proposed for inclusion in 2016 budget.

The way it was quickly shut down makes us think it was only a mere campaign rhetoric to garner support from our gullible youth and it worked perfectly.

Next time some politician comes to tell you he will do this and that my people make una dey ask HOW??
PoliticsRe: #Our5k: Nigerian Youths Demand Fulfillment Of Campaign Promises On Twitter by samofson: 4:31pm On Nov 05, 2015
[quote author=seunmsg post=39711180]So many uninformed youths tweeting nonsense. The 5k unemployed youth allowance can't be paid until there is a budgetary provisions for it. The PMB administration has not proposed any budget at the moment and so, any agitation at this point in time is premature.

Political twitter warlords should let the government settle and provide solutions to the numerous economical problems facing the country. The government still have 3.5 years to fulfil all its electoral promises to Nigerians and that is enough time if you ask me. [/quot

Very correct but for it to be in next year's budget it should be discussed now . It's can be a quick when for APC if they plan themselves well.

Olufemiolaolu:
The system we practice arent d same ok. We operate a presidential system while canada practises parliamentary system. So ko jo ara won.
So the fact that the Presidential and Parliamentary system are different, is a credible reason for the non inclusion of youths who sweated blood to get you there in the first place?

Our problem is our politics don't have any basis. Thieves who participated in the fleecing the Nation are currently being peddled as change gurus. The most painful part is that we the youth can't even see past our noses and keep hailing these people as great men.
PoliticsRe: Canada's PM Showing What Real Change Means by samofson(op): 11:27am On Nov 05, 2015
BALLOSKI:
Tell us how the party that lost the election destroyed Canada and their institutions in the last 2 decades , and we will show you how it would not have been impossible to have the new PM hitting the ground running.


They have institutions that work in such countries. So no matter who's coming on board, they don't bother cos they know he or she is not bigger than their institutions.




Why would any sane mind compare Nigeria and Canada at this point in time? Canada never had it so bad like we are having as a nation. Can you tell me when a party like pdp ever existed in Canada? You now know why we can't take off in Nigeria like the new PM is doing.
The problems and issues in Nigeria are multi faceted. This write up picks up on how the youths are constantly being short changed in the government. The Harper government was voted out because it became unpopular and some of its policies failed to move the country forward.

I totally agree that PDP failed in its duty to Nigeria but I believe that the only difference between both parties is PMB who is currently fighting an unhill battle because he is forced to work with the same set of people that also contributed to the rot in the first place.


With that in mind the change we require may not be the change we get hence my clamour for the youth to wake up and stop glorifying people who don't really have your interest at heart.

If there is to be any semblance of real change young dynamic and vibrant people should be given a chance to show what they can do.
PoliticsCanada's PM Showing What Real Change Means by samofson(op): 2:23am On Nov 05, 2015
I watched the swearing in of the New Canadian PM and almost shed tears because it showed how we have totally misconstrued the Change Mantra .

Justin Trudeau's slogan during his campaign was real change and immediately he was sworn in the change was clear to see. His ministers were sworn in immediately after him and their portfolios was announced during the swearing ceremony.

His cabinet is made up of 50% women. Some of these women will hold high profile portfolios like the Justice Minister. He also didn't use and dump the youths as 3 of his ministers are in their 30's with one of them being a 30 year old daughter of Afgan refugees.

Justin Trudeau's first bill to be introduced to parliament is to cut taxes to the middle class. These few things show that there is some real change coming to Canada.

Coming back to our dear Nigeria, our politicians used the youths as bait to gather support but dumped us like used tissue paper after the elections results was announced. Some of these youths are still licking their wounds on both sides APC & PDP alike.
PDP youths are chasing PDP for monies owned and promises broken while APC youths calls dey enter voicemail.


I seriously think that its high time that the X generation take the bull by the horn, pick a leader from our own generation who truly represents our cause and also understand the speed at which we expect things to be done.

With all the antics and 'house of cards' moves that have been playing out between the legislature and the executive in the past 5 months while our economy continues its downward spiral to oblivion, it is clear to the blind and audible to the deaf that our current and past leaders clearly do not have the interest of the youth and the future of our great nation at heart.
PoliticsRe: Bad Condition Of Enugu-Onitsha Express Way Being Washed By Erosion (Pics) by samofson: 1:46pm On Nov 02, 2015
Poor design and cheap construction is really killing Nigeria. With the kind of soil structure, you would expect to see a lot of suspended roads and bridges at erosion pinch points.

Not sure there are up to 3 suspension bridges in the south east

Nothing u can do to this one, nature will eventually claim it.
A serious erosion plan for the south east needs to be drafted . Don't know if south east government have such a plan . Na so so reactive plans or where dem fit chop inside dem dey look for.
Christianity EtcRe: T.B Joshua "Predicted Crash Of Russian Plane"(watch Video) by samofson: 10:17am On Nov 01, 2015
If you do a quick research, you will find that a Russian plane crashes at least once every year. So anyone could have foretold that there would be one this year.

If he had pin pointed the location and time the crash would happen then this would have been more believable.

this is not a prediction abeg its forecasting based on current statistics.

I give up. I try to abstain from making my posts personal but we clearly are not on the same page.

There is a difference between a normal citizen travelling to a Country for Work or Leisure and the President of a Country travelling for a STATE visit. If you cannot comprehend this then Presidential Protocol is not your forte.

and what does if you have travelled even mean ?? how does that even help your argument?? do I need to travel or visit an Airport to know what kind of respect my President deserves??

My guy you are missing the point. I am neither a PDP Apologist or an APC brownnoser.I have said in previous posts that they are both cut from the same cloth.

I believe that our President regardless of who he is must be afforded some sort of diplomatic etiquette when out of our shores.

These pictures do not represent that. Even if it was an African leaders summit, a country like India is more than capable to provide a better reception than what we see in these pictures.

Are you expecting them to bring a car into the airport terminal? Na wah for you o. What you should be asking is why they did not use a "presidential" wing, the answer to which we would have to find out if they have one at the airport.[/quote

Yes we expect that. If the airport doesn't have a presidential wing then a car should pick him up from the tarmac and take him straight out of the airport. How come they is no Indian in the picture or were they not expecting the President?? Where is the welcoming party? Or is it not a State visit?
PoliticsRe: How Buhari Was Conveyed From Indian Airport (Photos) by samofson: 12:47pm On Oct 28, 2015
Although it's a normal occurrence in large modern airports. I am not sure when Obama and Cameron visited India they were shuttled with these disabled /old persons carts

Normally the Presidential wing of an Airport would be designed in such a way that august visitors would not need to ride this to get about.

I want to believe this airport does not have a VIP wing hence the use of these carts.

I am not praising Putin. I am just amplifying the kind of support we require to crush BH not the kids gloves support we have been getting from the US & UK.

Are you saying ISIS does not also consist of indigenous widely- supported extremists?? I learn everyday

why Russia fled is immaterial at this point because going by the current state of play, Russia has dealt a massive blow to ISIS positions, a feat the the US or UK cannot boast of at present.

Although the reasons behind Putin's policy are debatable you cannot question the short term success.
BH are currently on the ropes, we need to deal the killer blow and Putin's type of attack is what we need.

So Abati can still right objectively, funny how he lost his golden pen while he was in office, thank God he has finally found it.

Only wish he had put it to good use when he had Jonathan ' s ear, maybe Jonathan would have had a chance.

Although Baba Clark is a turncoat who would never be trusted by the people he is trying to appease because of his disloyalty to Jonathan, Abati is also guilty of not advising his principal correctly about his utterances and failing to write such good pieces as this in support of his principal while in office.

Joy Ogwu is not to blame for this ...the itinerary was there for the entourage to see . Shehu Garba said it was unofficial hence the reason why it's wasn't priority.

That's means they knew about it but didn't send anyone to represent the country. If we had a noise maker for interior it would have been his priority to make sure we are represented.

Let's look at some effects of Aregbesola not paying bills and salaries as and when due.

People would have lost out potential investments , businesses would loose credibility, people wont be able to pay rent,marriages would have crumbled due to lack of fund causing women to become runs girls and men to become jigolos. Correct babes would have become olosho, broke ass young men would have become 19 boys or yansh men. People needing serious medical operations would have past on for lack of funds

The longer this continues the more people will continue to swear for people like Aregbesola and co who don't pay salaries and bills as and when due.

Aregbesola doesn't seem to understand the gravity of what he is going . I really pity him and his family . They will be known as a family that held a whole state to ransom.

Amaechi is not a common criminal. PDP needs to call a spade a spade.

You cannot associate someone of his timber and calibre with the word 'common'. That is an insult to the time, effort and skill used to deceive and loot the polity of Rivers State.

A state like Rivers which is supposed to be competing with Lagos in terms of infrastructural development can only boost of mediocre progress in its welfare. Amaechi's criminality can never be classed as common.

PoliticsRe: Press Release: Senate Is Solidly Behind Senate President, Bukola Saraki by samofson: 5:08pm On Sep 22, 2015
Naija Politics is more interesting than House of Cards....... The strategies and games being played of late need to be documented and somehow included in HOC Season 6.

At times like this Sakari needs someone like Olivia Pope on his team.

I have bought enough kuli kuli and Ekpa for the upcoming drama that would unfold during the screening of the ministers.

The senators have no choice but to show support for Saraki cause if he eventually goes down, it will set a precedence which may consume most of them. To save face, they will all have to do a deal with PMB so as not be in his firing line. And the deal will be ' Pass all my bills and approve my team with no hitches and we wouldn't dig up your dirt.

Our Senators are fickle they will always go for self preservation over party affiliations regardless of which party they belong to.

At the end of all this, failing a few scratches and a few of PMB's men getting cut in the crossfire, PMB will win and Nigeria will be better for it.

I don't think its a fair way to fight corruption but at all at all na hin bad pass.
