His investigation is supported, what did the ministry of Niger Delta achieve after all the money it got? The funny thing is you can't probe that ministry properly without a trail leading back to Patience Jonathan. This is going to be interesting if done properly. And anybody from the Niger Delta that shouts "witch hunting" is an idiot, the man oversaw a ministry that was set up for the development of the region. |

odinese: Then you are ignorant. Nigeria is a poor country, which is what makes corruption of past governments when oil was selling at record levels even more unforgivable. Go and compare Nigeria's budget with ordinary South Africa's budget, a country that has already built most of its basic infrastructure. You people don't know what it means to be a rich country. |

Tribalism is a mental disease. The irony of its biggest offenders is they somehow see themselves as better than the people for whom they hold their bigotry. There is a more mature and larger discussion to be had on the quality of education in Nigeria. 33 Likes 3 Shares |

LastSurvivor: You are a first rate bigot, that's all. Buhari is equal to Shekau and Abacha and Indi Amin how and why? Because he is a Muslim from the north? I know you would come back and try to be intelligent with your rubbish, go ahead and give it a shot. And I bet PDP and Jonathan are Mother Theresa, keep speaking as if you never left the bush. 135 Likes 9 Shares |

juman: And that is the point. It is only a testament to how bad the elections of the past have been, that's all. Hopefully the country can continue to build on this issue, and a giant step in the right direction would be a prosecution and jailing of people involved in electoral malpractise of the last elections. |

So in summary, there will still be a rerun, but criminal charges against electoral miscreants are not being considered in the same suit? No problem, one step at a time. |

TonyeBarcanista: You are a coward, I saw the original comment - "This will be a litmus test for Buhari's fight against corruption". Your case is hopeless. |

Politics / Re: Am I Missing PDP Already? by SkyBlue1: 6:14am On Oct 28, 2015 |
Poster just enjoys suffering. The fact that he is contemplating missing PDP instead of seeking a better alternative than APC if he thinks they are doing a bad job says it all. |

Nigeriaisblessed: We need less government in Nigeria, not more. Do you know what percentage of our tiny budget is recurrent expenditure? How is the country supposed to develop at the pace we want if all it spends its money on is paying salaries? |
Politics / Re: Jonathan Must Be Regretting Nigerias Misrule by SkyBlue1: 6:04am On Oct 28, 2015 |
And what are Nigerians supposed to do with his regret? People need to understand that opportunities to serve your country or mankind in general are a priviledge. Today he has left and all he will be remembered for is corruption. |

darelar: If Sylva wins election then goodluck to Bayelsa, that state might have the worst leadership history in Nigeria, definitely the worst in the South. Having to pick beteen Dickson and Sylva? How depressing! Politics has failed that state. |

What is the point of having technology if we don't use it? All that electronic fingerprinting that was done, was it for nothing? Go to the ballots and scan the finger prints again, it's not difficult all this talk of pasting result sheets mean nothing. How can you have low turn out and be getting the results that were announced in Rivers State? Just silly. No need to argue this thing, APC was asking for the casted ballots to be examined from day one, why was the state INEC soooooo against this? 1 Like |

McKren: And you know this because? With low turnout due to violence and intimidation that was roundly condemned by international observers, industrial scale rigging that gave him statistically impossible results for the number of people accredited and with low turnout, somehow, you know this. Or wait, your friends and everyone you know was planning on voting for Wike, and you know majority of the people in Rivers State right? What a joker you are. Go bore someone else with your jokes. This is how you people thought Nigerians wanted Jonathan. |

Rossikk: Thank you from preventing me from reaching such "asinine conclusions" which I am yet to reach, but you obviously know my thoughts better than I do it seems. Now when you are done with your amusing rants on history of colonialism (which we all agree should not be ignored), educate us at what point the country should start taking responsibility for it's underdevelopment. I will not assume you would reach such an asinine conclusion that proposes we have no responsibility, no I will give you the courtesy of arriving at your own thoughts and perhaps read them tomorrow. What a child. 6 Likes |

McKren: Why don't you just hope and work towards a free and fair election so the people can choose for themselves instead of you or individuals thinking they speak for everyone? And you don't see the irony in calling Buhari a dictator with that attitude of yours? I don't know where you people get all this thuggish mentality from. |

Rossikk: Spare yourself the pain of conjecturing on what "people like me" think and focus on the points raised. I did not mention Germany or Japan or other such countries so why the headache? I did not say we should ignore history so again no need for that patronising and totally unecessary essay on the importance of history. I did not say something is inherently "wrong" with Nigerians so again, spare me the sermon it is tiring and unoriginal. I only pointed out what I still stand by, that with better government (which you have been so kind enough to teach us doesn't fall from the sky), Nigeria would be much more developed than it is. The country has missed opportunities for progress and that has had a huge impact on the level of underdevelopment we see, and no it isn't solely down to colonialism. I am sure if people go out next election cycle and sell their votes for a cup of rice you would solely blame it on colonialism. I just don't share your own brand of patriotism which says take no responsibility for your actions and blame everything on colonialism (in big text while you're at it). 4 Likes |

Rossikk: And there you go again with the condescending tone. Did not say ignore colonialism, said poor governance and bad leadership has had a major role to play with the lvel of underdevelopment in Nigeria, and not everything should be blamed on colonialism. |
Politics / Re: See Pics Of South Africa's BRT Bus Stops And Roads In Joburg by SkyBlue1: 11:53pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
Rossikk: But oil does make a difference. Not as much as in countries with small populations true, but still consider that majority of government spending is from oil money and you understand the point being made, heck you're even making my point for me by going on about diversificastion. Nigeria has not taken advantages of the the opportunities it has had in the past, a lot of wasted opportunities has meant the country is nowhere as developed as it could have been under better leadership and governance, so how does that tally up with your posturing that implies colonialism is the only reason the country is not as developed? You also need to stop confusing people's understandable disappointments at the nation's progress and the way they might express that disappointment with inferiority complex. It is patronising. 4 Likes |

Rossikk: There is massive poverty in China as well so that statement serves little purpose. Yes some of these countries gained independence before Nigeria, but not all the countries mentioned are one of the world's largest exporters of oil, so no I still don't buy the whole 'it is all because of colonialism' idealogy. Investment and infrastructure is not static and can be built on or started from scratch, many countries have shown this. 3 Likes |

Rossikk: And what about countries like Indonesia or Brazil? Wasn't disputing the fact of early development in SA compared with Nigeria, simply stating that I don't think it is credible anymore to keep using that as an excuse for the level of underdevelopment Nigeria currently is in. And I stand by it. PS - You don't need big letters to make a point. 5 Likes |

NewNigeriaMind: Guy. Stop. You are back tracking now and taking different tangents. Your original post clearly implied that evidence of Nigeria having a bigger economy than SA were fraudulent and false. You have been corrected, let us move on. If you want to have a different discussion on quality of life and GDP per capita, then that is a different issue. But just for the record, Nigeria has a bigger economy than SA. 2 Likes |
