They are not enemy of Nigeria, they are just the perilous children a bad Nigeria had given birth to.

Kzinne:
bla bla. Is Lagos as complex as New York or even London? Have you been to Hong Kong? Do you have any idea how complex these places are? With the cash coming into Lagos then Fashola has underachieved. Lease Lagos to London to manage and give say five to ten years and check out Lagos and you'll know that Fashola is a learner and a glorified village champion

a kid and a shallow thinker spotted! What are you doing in the politics section? It's meant for the matured minds.

myola:
and those resources you are talking about are automatic cash? without been developed ? how long do you think it takes to diversify from oil to other resources ? change is good if you handled it maturely with common sense and not instantaneous as we are going about it. asked the Egyptian about their change.

wait till next year, we will teach you how it is being done.

Leebeedo:
Your generation, past & unborn are dumb. I pity your destiny. Can't you see the writing on the the wall? The Niger delta mlilitants won't allow the govt explore their resources if GEJ is not re-elected. If this is the case, where would the government get Money to initiate all these?

I can see your life and that of your generations to come are enclaved under the shadow of cluelessness. The kind of administration APC planned to run is far above your cohesion. You mean it takes only a crude oil for Nigeria to survive, with our plethora of natural resources? Do the south africans have oil in their country? What is their GDP per individal? I can see you are one of the (many) people who believe Nigeria cannot survive without oil. I am sorry to say this: "you are a threat to the well being of this nation"

...

Though he was a beloved before, but we have dis-own him long ago. All the blessings we accorded him in the last election is going to the people's general this time around. God bless our great party.

Rochas, a president in the making.

ideology:
You have not even noticed that the source is osun defender.

The topic says how??
But His responses are "what"

Nigerian s already know what needs to be done, the challenge is how do we do what needs to be done

For me, he has not said anything, anyone can talk,
In fact, a 7 year old boy can say more -"we will generate 500,000 jobs in 4 years"

Secondly let Buhari speak for himself.
I can categorically say, if not for 2015 Elections, he would not even go near Buhari and have his phone number.

Its very obvious, APC has no plan in place.
The only PLAN APC has is how to dislodge PDP from presidency and spreading propaganda and inciting the masses against government.

For a while now, military have been successfully dislodging BH, APC is quite. If they is any news that BH appears stronger, Liar Mohammed will come out to celebrate. Am even surprised, he is not talking about illegal arms deal in SA and quoting NAIRALAND as his source. What a foolish statement …

you can say that again. We want to dislodge the mediocres and surely we will.

Leebeedo:
And where will you get all the money to initiate this bogus plan? I just hope it's not from SS oil

chai!!!! See dumb!

yehmy:
E concern u?

where have you been? Wetin dey hold our list na? Them no go release am this again ni?

Habiz:
I SUPPORT YOU

...thinking

thanks you and welcome sir. Pls we all need to brainstorm and come out with ideas of how this can work. Waiting for your suggestions.

donedy:
I'm not surprised: so, with the bolded grammar, you still believe and agree your friend?

you are confused bro. It will be better for you to stop fooling yourself.

Na so so ND students dey here. Where are the hnd applicants? Una sure say this school go still release hnd list this year?

IKJ66:
Good idea,,,,,,,,,,,,u have my much needed SUPPORT

thanks bro! Pls let us make this work. Every idea and suggestions are welcome.

Adetula1:
for me-his achievements especially in railway,road,automobile policies ....somany

oh! What a theory!

I don't know if this is possible, but I believe that nothing is impossible. A forum that could held online debate, online interview, online voting, online broadcast et al successfully should be able to hold an online party; though this will be first of its kind world over.

New year is some days away and I think it's needful that we cook up some party to make it splendid.

Let's keep the ideas and suggestions coming. We need to make this work.

I asked a friend who happens to be schooling in federal polytechnic ado-ekiti yesterday of his assessment of the incumbent governor and the immediate governor of the state and he had this to say: "Fayose do the lousy and Fayemi do the silent"

Nigeria must change!

BRAIN-DRAIN IN THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL LANDSCAPE - smithsammy


“The general development of any nation depends (in no small amount) on her political stability and the qualities of the players of her politics.”

Nigeria, upon independence in 1960, had experienced series of power transition from one successive administration to another. We started-out as a sovereign state with our first generation of leaders ranging from: Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, Alh.Tafa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo, and other liberty fighters. If we are to begin the praises of these super-heroes, we would exhaust every good adjective in dictionary because their role and contributions to the foundation and development of Nigerian politics is indeed great! However, regrettably, immediately after their reigns, what Nigeria began to experience is degeneration and deterioration of all varieties.

Nigerian politics which (before) was a force to reckon over the globe with great respects and accolades suddenly become shambolic and no longer befit what should be termed ‘politics’ but ‘jumble.’ The fabrics-wall-of-peace and harmony of the nation had broken and every becoming of our dear country had become unbecoming in the hands of our politicians. The political terrain has been hijacked by incompetence, uncultured and unprofessional fellows, leaving people with the intellects and ethos of leadership on the side line. The influx of these self-absorbed and clumsy politicians (unnoticeably) had caused the country a gross damage. What we now have in every sector of our economy is failure. Only in Nigeria that the fixing of roads, refineries, heath-care system, electricity et al - requires a rocket science. To every failure of our politicians, they now have very well-prepared excuses in place.

Is this how we will continue? Many have been touted about the corruptions of our politicians, but has any step been taken to access their intelligent, creativeness, inventiveness, among others? It is so disheartening that people we now have at helm-of-affairs today are leaders without foresight; Leaders who lack coherent and well thought-out policies to help ameliorate the problems ravaging this country.

The electorates are also not helping in the matter as most of them have been bought over. The politicians do not need to go through the rigorous process of convincing them on what they will do differently to make the country better; all they need do is to lavish them with alms, and they get their votes! Our political atmosphere is so chaotic that people with the knowledge, expertise, and pedigree of true leadership no longer find it conducive; they prefer channeling their prowess into their personal conglomerate where it will be more treasured.

I listened to an interview of a Chief Executive Officer of one of the blue chip companies in Nigeria sometimes ago. He was giving his assessment of the Nigerian politics and leadership, and he has this to say:

“The crops of politicians we have today are mere jokers and power hunters who lack the etiquette of true leadership. How many organisations have most of them built, nurtured, and managed before wanting to lead a larger body called Nigeria? I will rather vote for a secondary school principal who I believed would have had experience in administration than a politician who have no single track of record whatsoever on management!”

We have strayed enough as a country and it is high time we got back on track of normalcy for the sake of posterity.

To redraw the country’s moral architect and general honor:

our political parties should begin to let the country’s interest transcends above party interest, and should stop fielding people who are bereft of qualities of true leadership when people with intellectual abounds in the society.

Also, the electorates should understand that their vote is their voice and power and should not be exchanged for alms. In choosing their choices, they should strive to know the pedigree, record, and past accomplishments of aspirants before voting them in.

In conclusion, the intelligentsia, professionals, veterans, and experts in this country should see their calling into the politics and leadership of this country as a “clarion call;” because a better Nigeria today will have no other effect than to translate to better life for all and sundry.

God bless Nigeria!

I must commend the process by which the entries are screened and graded; it's so contemprorary. I'm loving this really. I'm looking forward to reading your essays - martins301 and davo93.

After the screening, I doubt if more than 10 entries made it to the scoring stage.

Why the suspense na?

These latter essays are very captivating! Keep them coming missmeya

Let us wait and see who the winners are. This arguement is un called for!
