Ruggedpen:
MAY BE THAT IS WHY SHE WAS GIVEN THAT POST, BUT KARMA IS A RUGGED BITCH

megareal:
As always, they fall back on the blame game.

Your change has really changed Nigerians true true.

Folks are getting madder be the day cos of hunger.

Crime is rising.

Parents are having high BP cos they can't cater for their children anymore.

Killings and unreplied mass murder everywhere.

Sick folks can't afford hospital bills which leaves them at the mercy of quacks.

Selective witch hunting, favouritism and sacred cows are the ideal now.


Of course, its all because of the change you brought.

APC=Party of Liars through Propaganda and Denial.

Eazybay:
HONESTLY Nigerians are dumb!! Who are those nitwits saying it will give d protest political coloration abi coloriot? No matter who plans to attend or NOT, march out and 4get the color!!! Ah ah, IPOB protest u say its don by jobless youths because dea leaders are absent. This one since u ppl cannot say jobless, u say its led by an illiterate with no moral standing who should have rejected his wedding gifts!
But in #OccupyNigeria Tinubu was not part of d problem abi..


The people indeed deserve d leaders dey get! There are paid hands on Nairaland and Twitter to dampen ur resolve. Adesina has done his job and dey have bin all over d media trying to do theirs.

MISDIRECTION IS KEY
Nigeria would continually retrogress wif d present challenge and ppl are telling u, recession did not start today, herdsmen did not start today, PMB is fixing Nigeria, u are hungry because we eat too much rice, u are poor because there's no free money haba!!

SalamRushdie:


With a 500 percent inflation that's climbing daily you still think a protest needs sponsors? I pity u

morscino:
Tuface shld as a matter of urgency denounce fayose or any politician dat has served or is still serving, in respect to dis one of a kind protest,to give it more credibility n acceptantance,else these politicians would see it as an opportunity to settle political scores.

BigIyanga:

Did he give judges and others fair trial when he went on national tv and pronounced them guilty?
He is not a judge and therefore doesn't have the right to clear someone-his buddy, of wrongdoing. Let him be prosecuted like other politicians and the court will clear him.

maasoap:

Now, you've come out in the open. Why were you pretending before? Of course, I knew why.

bakila:

Admission of lack of facts to support your assertion, says it all about your comments. How are the candidate of note with sufficient pedigree among the last contestants to better Buhari? We would continue if you mention a sensible and realistic option.

bakila:

Please look at the genesis of my comment. The person I replied to is old customer. Thanks for your observation anyways, but my position still remains that without an analysis of the AGF REPORT i may not be the one writing on the basis of sentiment.
Thanks.

APCmyheart:


LOL what has my moniker got to do with what's on ground?


You are thief and i just accused you to be a real thief... Then should you be killed or jail without investigating you?


You and your likes can go and die....

Buhari till 2023..

philiancoop:

Jonathan done go you, yes, you still dey here dey castigate am simply because of your support that is clearly unpatriotic for buhari. Instead of putting away sentiments and joining forces to call THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY to accountability. point out the faults make Nigeria better. Please let's be objective and purpose driven here.

maasoap:

The answer to your question sincerely depends on whether you believed that he had those traits before today or not.
To me, I strongly believed that he had it and I believe that he still does. Can you see my point now, the difference between you and me?

bakila:

I am not supporting the corruption of Babachir or the suspicion of it. If you follow the conversations you will find someone mentioned me and called Buhari names. You will also see my response and what followed. The allegations against Babachir and the report of the AGF is unfortunately not debated here.
If we have a thorough discussion on the action of Babachir and any cover up from the AGF, we would all do the needful and raise against THE PRESIDENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGF'S REPORT. Otherwise, my friend Eluwilussit shout that we did not take a better option to Jonathan will remain the hypocrisy. GENIRO can abuse to the suffering of his fingers all he likes.

maasoap:

Who did you vote for in 2015? If not Buhari, you've got nothing to stand in his way.

bakila:

Hahaha. Shameless Jonathan vampires, I remind my friend in that gist of a history. Read that history and explain to me how we ceded so much space and had so much IDPS is not for your bosses buffoonery. You benefactors clueless leadership created the IDP camps.
Bring superior argument other than that of the AGF let's debate it.
Otherwise keep your foolishness to yourself.

spartacus11:


you either believe and support the fight against corruption or you don't believe it at all, that's your own headache

don't come hear to tell me you have not been in this country and have not seen where judgement was bought, if you like keep defending the useless people who do not have you at heart,

i guess if a judge has not giving order for one madam to forfeit $153 million people like you will still call it witch-hunt, these are the people you are saying the president is oppressing abi?

i have ask is they any member of the opposition today that have said they did not collect those loothed fund

olisa metuh, 400 million
fani kayodae 2 billion
Ait 2 billion
to name a few
they all agreed that they collected this money and this where fund made to buy military hardwares, so what do you expect PMB to do celebrate them and give them national honors abi?

on the judges, how can thousands of pounds and dollars be found in your house and you said you where selling red oil? for this naija abi

how can a judge for over a year has wired more than 600 million out of the country, yet cases can't fly in court so you expect the president to give them national honors? odiagu.

yet you people can't point out a single policy or action that PMB has done that isn't for the benefit of the nation hate him as long as you want stealing is now corruption

you have said so many Nigerians are hard working if you truly believe in this statement as much as i do you will call for the crucifixion of those people because you can't be working hard and someone else is embezzling your wealth

so keep showing the sympathy for pdp, Nigeria has more than 50 registered political party na only pdp be opposition

those who benefited from the massive corruption in the land are the ones who hate and hate everything buhari does
because to the corrupt and beneficiaries from those corrupt PMB na bad market

i guess you where in this country when $20 billion was unaccounted for in NNPC in the quest to investigate NNPC by buhari this led to the birth of Avengers, ok according to you Diezani is been oppressed and witch-hunted because she is opposition
no wahala if buhari leave too make the next government oppress am at the end na Nigeria win

but i can't join you in celebrating those who have looted this nation dry, i will give my support to those who will help to an extent bring sanity to the system and recover as much looted fund as they can

i rather support buhari who is determined to recover loothed fund than support those pdp who have loothed this nation dry and brought Nigeria to his knee's

this is the choice I've choosing to support PMB you have chosen to defend those who looted us dry and those judge who pride themselves in selling judgement case close

Thisis2raw:
everything you just wrote here is gibberish. Pure rubbish.

So when work hard and gets his money and want to get what he hunger for is living a FAKE LIFE

grandstar:


The country is in a recession because of the incomprehensible forex policy that Buhari is promoting. This has led to severe forex shortages and the free fall of the naira.

Sanusi has been unrelenting in condemning these policies.

The war against corruption is not what has killed the economy. It's Buhari's lamentable economics.

The man means well but his economics sucks

hedonistic:




Don't mind the fool and the bigger fools who liked that senseless comment.

The main reason why Nigerians are suffering now is the unprecedented inflation and spike in the prices of essential commodities and general goods and services. Why didn't he explain what caused this spike in the cost of living (Buhari's idiotic economic policies)? That's the real issue!

If, as the bagger suggested, 'corruption money' was overflowing during the previous administration and that Buhari's so-called war on kwarapshun has caused a drying up of awoof money in the system, how come the price of EVERYTHING has increased in unprecedented fashion? How come the price of everything (cost of living) was STABLE and even reduced in some cases throughout Jonathan's wonderful 5 years in government (2010-2015)? How can prices be stable when corruption money overflowed in the system and then increase significantly when war on kwarapshun reduces illicit flow of money and availability of liquid cash in the system? Conventional economic wisdom indicates that prices increase when there is too much money in the system chasing relatively fewer goods. Why is the opposite the case in Buhari's flawed regime?

spartacus11:
the actions of someone else can make an innocent man suffer
I'm not defending any body, but the truth still remains that many people leave above their means, which is not deniable

they are honest and hard working nigerians thats a fact

are the opposition clean? did they collect those fund they are accused of? i don't pity them
if buhari tenure end he should be probe as well full stop.

spartacus11:


and the $153 million forfeited by one madam i guess is propaganda

tell me you received less than 30k a month you rent a 3 bedroom apartment drives a car fuel your gen,and you are civil servant, howcome are you able to finance all this expenses?

you are a governor you did not have a know company but 6 months after you became governor you have more than 5billion naira in your account and have bought 5 houses in Lagos, how is this possible?

keep deceiving yourself with propaganda if you don't know corruption runs the economy of this nation.

can you name a single business structure any Nigeria bank is running that is fetching them huge profit non because they are so lazy just waiting for politician to give them money to hide or ship oversea

TSA, banks made to refund NNPC funds, politicians stolen funds where block in banks and seize suddenly our banks could not withstand it, how come? because that is the only business they do and nothing else

why not name one policy of buhari that have draw Nigeria down (name the policy and the effect caused, and how bad was the policy) let me name more than 5 buhari policies that have help uplift the nation

or na buhari policy go print dollar to help finance your hunger for imported goods

claremont:


This level of deep thinking is too much for ethnic bigots and charlatans to comprehend. The first page of this thread is littered with ''Buhari has no certificate'', ''Wike has defeated Buhari''. Your well-written comment has made my day.

Thank you.

LastProphet:


only foools from a part of this country fail and fail to see the obvious truth you just shared. thank u for reminding the deluded brainless wailers

lollypeezle:


STATE OF THE NATION*

I have been following closely the activities of this government and whenever I have the opportunity, I try to find out the opinions of people as regards the performance of this government.

 

I just realized that the hardship faced by many Nigerians is simply as a result of the fact that almost everyone of us benefited from the cycle of corruption.

 

The bricklayer, plumber, laborers, tiler are all complaining because building construction has slowed down massively cause the thieves no longer have money to spend on real estate.

 

The car dealers are grumbling because their cars are begging for buyers. Thieves can no longer spend wastefully.

 

The private school owners are shouting because parents can no longer pay outrageous sums and are withdrawing their wards.

 

I was shocked when I learn that in a popular private University in Abuja, parents are writing undertaking at the account section for their children to be allowed to write exams... and it goes on and on.

 

The fact is, a lot of people are returning to what someone referred to as ''default mode''.

We mostly have been living above our REAL MEANS.

We have been staying in houses that ordinarily our incomes can't afford.

Our children going to schools we can't afford. Driving cars we ordinarily can't maintain.

We have been living a FAKE LIFE all along. Now the reality is before us and we don't want to accept it.

This shows how morally bankrupt we are.

 

You can't eat your Cake and have it. Take Note..."GOD HELP AND BLESS NIGERIA"

You got billions from bank without collateral using your political influence. You put half into your business and spent the other half on exotic cars, jeweleries, etc.

 

Your business employs 100 people normally. You get illegal waivers and concessions to import raw materials at rock bottom prices, you get over-inflated contract to supply government some goods your company produce....in short your company is kept afloat by corruption.

 

Now the new SHERIFF in town says:

no more ridiculous waivers, 
no more inflated contracts, no more bank loans without collateral, in fact its time you or your company pay off the billions of debt owed.....

 

AMCON takes over your company, staff are laid off......And you go on air and say the new sheriff is killing business and causing unemployment..

 

The truth is....you and your company were never in business, you were only feeding off the system.

Too many companies and banks are funded by corruption. Remove corruption from the system and they collapse.......and we end up blaming the person that removes corruption for the collapse of the corruptly run fake company.

 

Its like our system and corruption are so interwoven and inseparable that removing one will kill the other.

Maybe we should tolerate and learn to live with corruption so that Nigeria can survive?

 

Recession: What recession? If you think Nigeria is broke, then you are living in another planet. Now, please read the information below and tell me why Nigerians crying of hardship are comfortable with the bold looting of their collective wealth by the politicians.

 

A SELF DECEIVING COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA

Twenty-one senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.

 

The current senators who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun.

 

The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.

 

Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN).).

 

In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.

 

In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.

 

It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.

 

This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.

 

NOW I ASK: 
How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?

 

As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?

 

IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......

Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.

 

Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria. The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.

 

Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US President or 9 times the salary of US congressmen.

 

It's high time the country had a referendum on those outrageous salaries of Senators, House of Representative members and other political office holders.

 

GoggleB:
I think this people are just here to kill PDP finally.
Not for good governance.

agabusta:


Did u not see the video where these officers started shooting into the air without any threat to their principal? Propangists even tried to twist the video that it was APC policemen that was shooting at Wike. Whereas it was Wike's personal security men.
These officers displayed a high level of indiscipline and should be punished.

They also said they prevented INEC from moving votes and personnel to a collation centre. Now that is some serious offence.

But the major offence is the way they started shooting indiscriminately into the air coupled with disobedience to a superior officer.

Either ways, the punishment of dismissal seems too weighty.


And it must be stated that all other indiscipline shown during the election should also be punished. Either by pro PDP or APC.

kcnwaigbo:


the useless IGP is yet to say anything about the criminal Akin Fakorede caught on video beating up INEC officials.He is instead punishing the gallant ofiicers that went to the collation centre to stop them.

Rigging:
They may end up receiving a paltry sum from the politicians and will soon be forgotten. Now they have family to take care. Never be overzealous for any politician at the expense of your means of Livelihood.

THUNDER4real:
If only IF Jammeh or whatever he calls himself, has a little common sense, let him step down....he should know here in Nigeria, we don't have a democratic president but more like a military president in civilian clothing who can do and un-do. We don't need other ECOWAS countries, give bubu 7 days, he"s ready to send all our soldiers and forget boko boys , he will clear you Jammeh, that your supportive General and any other person that is on the way.........Jammeh LISTEN: This is not GEJ tenure, you better get wise..
