Nigeria still follows the colonial era template where every decision comes from the crown. Just that now every decision must come from Abuja.

They’re more interested in wielding power than building a strong democracy and governance system.

Every single thing APC accused PDP of doing while they were in opposition, they’ve done twice as worse.

PDP took all those criticisms as part of democracy then, but APC now can’t even take half of it from the opposition but somehow they believe they’re the fighters for democracy.

Such hypocrisy.

Tuchel cannot escape the English axe.

Why start parking bus from 70th minutes?

Come sub off your attackers for defenders.

Reading comments of some people defending the minister and even condemning Sowore for calling for the right thing to be done is really saddening.

How do these people reason? Must you find ways to justify everything people you support do?

Nigerians have some of the dullest people on earth.

Can it be due to decades of bad governance that people are now beginning to see public officials that pay themselves huge amount of money as salaries and bonuses as doing them a favor for construction of roads at rates that are higher than any country in the world?

Is there a reason why the South West is a "battle ground" while other regions are ultra conservative with their votes?

The Southwest is the most mixed region in the country, Lagos being the hq.

Coupled with the fact that majority of Yorubas share different views on matters make voting very dynamic in that region.

Covid-19 palliative funds in 2023?

Something’s not adding up.

Sibetolo:
Education is not a scam, out of about 14 listed vocations, you could pick 1( 7.13 percent) you refer to as a bad skill and blame the government for a wrong decision. 7.13 percent outta 100 still has 92.87 percent good overall. The 1you picked alone or combined and practiced with other vocations, can better someone's life. As technologically advanced Chuna and US is, there are still job positions for MILLERS if you don't know

Did the President and government of those countries advertise training for those millers?

Are these the millions of jobs APC and Tinubu promised?


Keep deceiving yourselves.

These are area boys.

They’ll harass and extort people at will saying they’re working for the government.

We have many of such littering Lagos.

Once them wan loot, they’ll name it Presidential Support whatever.

Anything presidential is automatically, lootocracy.

This administration must be probed after it leaves.

So the debate is about two former governors?

Both did not serve at the same period. If we’re to compare the states each govern, Anambra towers far above Ebonyi and it’s not even a mile distance.

Grinding machine operator?

Is this how APC intend to achieve its $1trn GDP?

LOL.

Kirakita o do’la

Wealth is not built by over working. It’s built by working smarter.

To our brethren’s in the UK and other places. Take time to rest and plan your finances better.

No go do long stretch of shift.

Helinuse:
But Tinubu always does something:

He makes friends through betrayals.


To make a loyalist, he disposes of a very loyal associate for a very disloyal one, so as to make the disloyal indebted.
With that, the disloyal ones do everything possible so as not to allow the disposed loyal to take his position again.
So the fight for loyalty is no longer in the hands of Tinubu, but in the hands of those whom he would have been struggling to make loyal.

E.g.
If Kwankwaso did not decamp to be a vice to Peter Obi,
He would have disposed of Shettima and made Kwankwaso the Vice.
Now to prove his indebtedness, Kwankwaso would have campaigned aggressively in the north so as to justify Tinubus betrayal of his ally.



Betrayer!!

He’s only using one of the 48 laws of power.

Never put too much trust in friends, learn to use the enemies.

That’s why you see people like Segun Dada, Daniel Bwala, Reno Omokri etc are putting their all to defend Tinubu even after they’ve called him bad in the past. They have a lot to prove that they’re loyal.

Hehehehe.

I still don’t believe una. But the fear of the unknown is what’s causing you guys to do this.

puremaker7:
Make this one just dey talk anyhow...
This current system of government in Nigeria can not give us good government....

Why can’t the current system of government give good governance?

What system of government will give good governance according to you?

The man is one of Tinubu’s boys before he became King.

In fact, Tinubu might have been instrumental to his becoming King.

Mynd44:
What if I told you that if this was the US, he will be charged for the Ambulance service as it is not free and a lot of people will rather go to the hospital by taxi than call an ambulance.

It is good when emmergency services like fire service, police and medical services work but what would have as no one knows who will need help and when


As for this, this particular Senator donated that as Senator of Lagos west. He is now Senator for Ogun west senatorial district and Heliues says he has not done enough to be governor of Ogun state.

Why not tell us how it’s free to use the ambulance in the UK and many other countries?

Na only USA una sabi use compare?

nobilie:
He did not say that during Buhari's govt. Rubbish.

He was not president during Buhari’s tenure.

As the city boy movement failed, so shall this.

E no better to do ashawo for Nigeria than go to Mali?

Leepeak:

Copy And paste leaders
Nonsense
USA don't have king oya copy it and paste it too
U will have the problem USA is having
You don't copy their constitution and their type of government
A Republic state that have king
Inside USA you dare not object or refuse a court order aka subpoena but for Nigeria
Niggas dey wen pass the law and court

This country is cursed with foolish leadership. All they do is just copy and paste without thinking.

guobe:
You nailed it,they will just be tools used by politicians to do their bidding.
I have not seen any new thing proposed for the state police that is not in the present police set up.

If we ask the governors to explain or detail how state police will reduce crimes and also the banditry going on, they’ll say gibberish.

The governors are screaming state police so they can have control over an armed police of their own just as the president has control over the federal police.

For state police to be effective and even the present police, it must be made an independent institution with laws guiding them.

Unless we enable stronger institutions, we’ll just be running in circles.

Additionally, we must reconfigure our police to let them know they serve the people and not a few politicians, rich and wealthy people.

If these are not put in place, we’ll definitely go back to square one, but this time we’ll be battling two bad police forces.

LordReed:
Bro google the most expensive restaurants near you and compare their prices to the regular ones or this overpriced akara.

What do you mean only in Nigeria is there ultra wealthy? What do you call the likes of Bernard Arnault (France) – Chairman and CEO of LVMH, the luxury goods conglomerate, with a net worth of $192.7 billion or Amancio Ortega (Spain) – Founder of Inditex, the parent company of Zara, with a net worth of $111.3 billion. You think their money is akara money?

Do you really think Dangote or Otedola would sit in that Akara restaurant to eat Akara?

He made valid points.

LibertyRep:
Is the South West a " go area " for other candidates?

You will praise Bob Dee and Kenneth for supporting outside of their regions but Umahi cannot do the same?

The southwest will always be shared. It’s a battleground.

How did the “fraud agency” make it to the 2026 national budget?

Kemetian:
SHUT UP YOUR FACE.

ENEMY OF NIGERIA.

You and your likes are the real enemies of Nigeria.

You’ll see a ditch, but you’ll push people into it.

Deep down your heart you know this is just a jamboree.

Remember our December date?

I’ll remind you.

erniok:
I hope this works. That ajaokuta is just a sleeping gigantic money spinner.

That steel plant can never work not because it’s not good, but because it’s situated in the wrong place.

What we’re seeing here is an avenue for a few to steal.

Are you gay?

How come you’re attracting men?

Business that can’t be sustained for a long time in this country.

Akara is supposed to be made of beans, pepper, onion, salt and fried in oil.

Any additions such as meat, fish etc doesn’t make it Akara anymore.

The beauty of Akara is its simplicity.
