boo hoo hoo... cry me a river

They aren't disrespectimg you, they just want your politicians to fall in line and for things to be done the way it should. This is what Nigerian politicians need. They should even extend the ban to their families and revoke any citizenship of any member of their families

But these guys said in 2015 they will build a refinery.

We are just waiting for the monumental fraud that will be uncovered at the end of this administration. Jonathan tenure would be a child's play.

WTF is this nonsense Who are these guys

We are in for the worst in this country.

We are not surprised... Inflation rate will keep on increasing.

Make una dey sound am for their ears

Why does this administration keep deluding themselves that all is well with Nigeria and Nigerians??

What are we in currently if not TROUBLE?

Una dey mad, with the pricing on Ikeja Electric, what's the difference?? These guys are just trying to justify these nonsense.

These people are collecting these monies, sometimes even penalise Discos but since the privatisation, has TCN which is still controlled by the FG done any upgrade on their network

Who ACF help?? What have they done in the North?

Who go pay this damages? The police or the "people" that ordered them to carry out the job?

Does this man even listen to what the masses are saying at all Is it that he intentionally turned deaf ears to what is going on?

Blow with bloody trumpet

We are waiting for Lauretta Onochie to come and respond.

There seem to be political agents campaigning for these politicians on NL. The moderators just actually find something to do about these Posts.

una go pay electricity bill through una nose. For Post Paid customers. Nothing less than 6k monthly

I wonder if these people are actually Nigerians. What is widely accepted by the citizenry? And the annoying part is that Nigerians will just let this go like that.

I just dey laugh... Soon the common man won't be able to feed because he has to pay bills and all. The government of the day isn't even doing anything about this. Its the increment of the Electricity tarrif that burst my head.

We are waiting, you call people wailers for criticising Buhari. now I think we all are now wailers.

Money wey dey craze person���.

This is what we waste our time on as Nigerian youths while our government is bleeding the common man dry

Aren't we tired as Nigerians

The Government keeps making life harder the masses and we are all keeping quiet as citizens, Aren't we tired??

Fuel Pump price was increased from N143 to N150 and we as citizens kept quiet, aren't we tired??

The Government imposed a fine of N5m on hate speech which is a move to silence the masses from any criticism towards the Government and we as citizens kept quiet, aren't we tired??

After the approval of 33k minimum wage, an increase in VAT charges to 7% followed almost immediately, introduction of stamp duties etc and we as citizens kept quiet, aren't we tired??

Electricity tarrifs were increased to double the amount the previous tarrif without any improvement in electricity supply and we as citizens are keeping quiet, aren't we tired??

Citizens are attacked and killed on daily basis with the people in government turning blind eyes to what's happening and we as citizens are keeping quiet, aren't we tired??

I think we do not know our power as the masses. These people have divided us between political, religious and ethnic lines and that's why most times we come out to defend these people. Isn't it high time we take our country back before we don't have a country left to call our own??

AREN'T WE TIRED?

I was expecting this

But why are most people seeing the criminality in this. He said he doesn't want to take anyone's money but calling Access bank attention to their weak security system.

A same organisation will employ this guy so to know how to block the loophole in their system

DonXavi:
That's what you call it, maybe because you are not at the receiving end. You may not know what it means to be an Igbo man in Nigeria.

FYI, I am a full blooded Igbo.

Very stupid and tribalistic post.

IN AS MUCH AS I SMELL FEAR OF THEM BEEN AT A DISADVANTAGE IF THE 1999 CONSTITUTION IS BEEN REVIEWED BUT WHERE ID THE LIE IN WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT MILLION/STROKE BILLION SPENT TO REVIEW FROM TIME TO TIME AND IT HAS NEVER AFFECTED THE COMMON MAN DIRECTLY.

I agree with the legal practitioner. PDP is a very useless opposition especially in the National Assembly, they are only the opposition when it comes to elections. But wetin they wan oppose to sef, aren't these bills been passed going to benefit them as politicians one way or another??

one herdsman was killed, you are meeting with their leaders. Hundreds have been killed in Southern Kaduna and you are yet to meet with their families. And some people are saying NBA was in the wrong for disinviting him

Fake news, nothing will happen. No president will ever be impeached in Nigeria.

At least he is useful to the youths
one way or another.

Nigerian Politics though. No Permanent foe
