Stop regurgitating and show us where it says he committed the crime under Jonathan.

Nepotism never has a joyous ending.
It only produces an army of entitled relatives and cronies, who consider their rights to loot the commonwealth as God-ordained.

GMB's strain of nepotism, however, appears to be most deadly. Another son-in-law is heading Border Commission, chopping and chopping....

Oxb90:
That one no be case. As far as the president and the presidency are on the throne, the matter na 'mai mai'. Son in-law no mind them go and sleep your father in-law can handle everything.

membranus:
Ortom is the type of radical leadership we demand for each region.

Aurelius1:
The questions we should ask ourselves are,

1. Is the rail line being used?

2. How long will it take the government to complete and put the line to use?

3. Have you guys heard of vandals vandalizing rail lines that are in use?
That line has been in the works for the past 15 years. If the government is serious let them complete it and put it to use and the vandaliasm will stop.

Penguin2:
I don’t like Buhari but vandalizing his projects is simply stupid.

But it calls to question the quality of project that was done their. If it was strong enough, it wouldn’t have easily been removed like that.

I condemn it regardless

owobokiri:
Who are you to "give them little"? Some sort of village god?
Criminals are on the loose and you are here talking like a drunkard..

I remembered...he contested but Nigerians with their dark minds opted for the Mannequin at the villa

executive12:
The agreement did not say at all times. It said reasonable time. That implies that the tenant's permission will be sought to ensure that it's convenient for the tenant.

drealcivilceno:
True... but there are other factors sha.

I have aunt that packed her vital stuff and told the landlady she was coming back for the rest, till today she has not packed.

So to break in is inevitable.

Psoul:
You are very very wrong.

The law gives him that right but he must access the house/rooms in agreement wt u.

drealcivilceno:
He has oga... duration and time to visit was not stipulated are missing.

rottable:
The agreement is okay except for number 4, where it states that the landlord can enter your apartment at any time....... You are about to give away your privacy.

FatherOfJesus:
Personally, I am of the opinion that the leadership of any society is a product of that society. These leaders are there either because of our collective inactions or actions, we let them there anyways.

These leaders were raised in our schools, churches, mosques, homes etc. they are a representation of what an average Nigerian is.

What’s your take?

caesymore:

The American Govt pegged the price of gasoline, not that they decide how much each fueling stations must sell their product. (Prices varies between states).
Is this not what I proposed in the earlier comment that you were against? When I said that the government could set the price of cement to about #2800 and then allow importation for a period to bring than the price whenever the price goes beyond that price level.

In summary, there is no import dependent country in the world that is a model for progress and prosperity.
You may not be aware of this but the US is an import dependent country in the area of consumer products. In fact majority of the western countries are importing almost all the same products we imports including cars.

Putting our citizens under enormous suffering because we want to build up manufacturing is not the way to go. Any local manufacturing that cannot withstand international competition after more than 10 years is not going to last. The US auto industry suffered serious financial damage in 2008 that the government had to rescue them. They were not building quality cars that can compete internationally because they were enjoying patriotic patronage from US consumers. But when the economy went south and the US consumer purchasing power went with it, the auto industry couldn't ride it out . Japanese car manufacturers were able to ride it out without the support of their government. The US government did not ban the importation of cars during this time. They help the auto industry with loan and loan restructuring but they did not protect them from international competition. After few years they were able to bounce back and start opening previously closed factories.

A Yoruba adage says "whoever you give hoe to will dig toward himself". Any attempt to build local capacity with just carrot without a stick to make sure that the producers did not overly burden the citizens will failed in the nearest future.
Few months ago, I read something similar in the production of rice where those benefiting from the ban on rice importation are taking advantage of the system to the detriment of government intention and the citizens. This lead to smuggling of rice that is of better quality and cheaper than local production at lower price.

Finally, I am going to inform you that Trump didn't banned any products from importation to benefit local production. US even under Trump is a member of WTO. US banned certain products from been imported to US because they alleged China was using Uyghur Muslims as slave labor to manufacture those products. They also ban some companies they alleged were involved in the scheme.

We all want better Nigeria that is a manufacturing giants in Africa. However, we will not get there if the production capacity we are building cannot stand international competition. We will not get there if we are all silent while the system been set up is gridding ordinary men and women to the benefit of connected few
