What makes you think that you are more healthy than him? A man who is 70 is old, but another who is 61 is very young.

Abeg follow your candidate in peace and let other follow theirs.

Lol. So you believe Tinubu is really 70 old ? Someone that his age and certificate are controversial ?

Tinubu is in his 80s.

mach7:
Because you have access to his medical files or because you diagnosed him as sick? There is no need to denigrate him, just campaign for your own candidate.

Oga the man is sick and old. Let him go and rest. He has everything in the world. Money, Influence, popularity etc. He should rest. If he is not president, he won't remove anything from him.

Vulturereloaded:
Honestly. The way these politicians talk about the north as if they are robots, makes me sad.

Lol. They see them as Election tools and object to achieve their aim. Nothing more, Nothing less.

South East should vote massively for Peter obi to teach ungrateful and arrogant pdp atiku a bitter lesson.

Pdp should avoid South East. Let there go and look for votes elsewhere.

BluntTheApostle:
If we elect a credible leader, the system will frustrate him.

So, the system is the problem.

Let us suppose Obi is a truly credible leader. He wants to cut cost of governance. How will he do it? The system runs a bicameral legislature. If Obi reduces cost of governance for the presidency, the system does not give him the power to review the bogus allowances that each lawmaker takes home every month.

Bicameralism also slows down decision making. That is why a military dictator has a better chance of doing better than a civilian president in Nigeria.

Supposing Obi wants to make a law that makes the police less corrupt and more efficient, he needs funds but he first has to write to the NASS. The NASS can use 8 years on the bill, and it would not get any headways. The anti-graft bill Buhari sent to NASS is still there after 7 years.

In China, for example, or even Rwanda, if Kigali wants something, he gets it, and quick too. If Buhari wants something, he has to send it to the NASS, and even lobby them to get it passed quickly.

Corruption is too simplistic an excuse.

There is terrible corruption going on in Rwanda, but the country still manages to make headsway.

We need to change the 1999 constitution. Every Nigeria problem ties with the 1999 constitution. The problem is the structure as you said and the structure is 1999 constitution.

1999 constitution is anti development. It the main reason we have poverty, killing, agitation etc

tctrills:
You are the impolite boy but let me answer you this one. China did not lift millions out of poverty by building new cities and moving the poor into them. China lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty through private investments creating millions of jobs in the cities. In case you don't know, the thousands of skyscrapers you see in China are privately owned. The government does not create wealth. China did not go into foreign debt to Build infrastructure. Every single country that has gone into massive debt to build infrastructure ended up in a bad place. Learn about the IMF loans of the 80s. Even with the recent Chinese loan that most nations are taking, By next year, Nigeria would find it unsustainable to pay her debt and manage its economy.
Egypt you point is entering into one of the worst food crises ever. They would need the world bank and richer nations to survive. Their economy was not prepared for the Ukraine war.
The secret to economic growth is not big government projects but allowing the private sector to take off. Ask Korea and Japan. Ask the USA. Just so you know, the first railway in the US was built by a private company. In fact, most of the rail in the US was built by private entities.
China was as poor as Nigeria until it handed over its economy to private hands. Dubai did the same, and Singapore did the same.
Rusia a country with vast minerals, Agricultural land, and tech remains one of the poorest in Europe because its government does not give businesses a free hand. While Estonia a little unknown nation has 10x its economy in the last 20 years not by building projects but by creating a more liberal economy where the government does less.
Finally, learn to disagree with other schools of thought without getting angry. As a man, the ability to control your temper, tame your response, and school your feelings makes you strong.

Kudos! You understand economy and development.

Dsalvo:
Almost anything can be achieved with uniformity of purpose, selfless patriotism and sincerity.

Things you're unlikely to get from a nation of over 250 ethnic groups very divided along ethnic, religious and sectional lines. Most of us don't see ourselves as Nigerians anymore.

We all side with ethnic, religious and sectional affiliates than bond as fellow Nigerians. We all interact as a bunch of people forced to live together and have derogatory tags and slurs for each other.

This is why regionalism is vital and should not be put off for longer. Giving Nigerians the freedom to build from their regional bases will bring geographical pride, patriotism, a sense of identity and belonging plus commitment back into the hearts all Nigerians.

It will make everyone re-dedicate efforts towards making their region great whereas that passion to make Nigeria great died in most Nigerians a long time ago.

Every Nigerian now looks at Nigeria as a defenseless orphan they must exploit rather than assist. Transformative leadership positions , under such an arrangement, will always be commandeered for "na our turn" agenda.

This is Why Buhari quickly moved in Daura, Abba Kyari and others into his inner circle as decision-makers for all of Nigerians to then ostracize non-Fulanis who had worked for his Victory who should have had a say in a sincere government of unity and balance.

Because of the very same system, Buhari can do as he pleases without Nigerians been able to unite and fight him to deliver what is right by all.

His fellow Northerners would claim victimization of their 'son' while Igbos will remain playing spiteful blame game of "na Yoruba install am so na Yoruba headache. Yorubas will lampoon Igbos as frustrated because" dem no sabi politics". In the middle of those fights, misrule and misery continues for Nigerians. The whole thing is a mess.

Why not go back to regional governance where a Yoruba premier must answer first to his people and region with nowhere to hide and no others to hide behind? Ditto for all other regions.

We are only postponing the evil days enduring with Nigeria as currently constituted.

As a simple example, would many of us not consider joining the police force if totally independent State or regional policing was in place?

I would certainly consider it out of genuine patriotism I have for my State and region.

Yet how many would join the Nigerian police force controlled by the Federal Government? "I dey mad?" would be the response of most Nigerians.

Nigerians cannot be united productively under a unitary system anymore. It has never worked and never will whereas regionalism worked. It is not Rocket Science.

You summarize Everything.

Throwback:
2 bright and liberal minds is always a right choice.

Not a 3rd class graduate that is always causing disaffection between Anambra Igbos and Abia Igbos, or between Igbo Catholics and Igbo Anglicans. Meanwhile the running mate has no regard for human lives and wants to kill all gays and lesbians without any crime committed or being a threat to lives of other humans.

Show us the certificate of your drug lord Pablo escoBAT ?

Only mentally deranged people will support a drug lord with a Terrorist as a VP. Godforbid BAThing.

Old man go and rest. It is not by force to be president. You have nothing to offer. Only illiterates, criminals and bigots will support you.

gidgiddy:
In the sane vain, you should ask your security forces to show you any evidence that those they killed are ESN. They can show you pictures of the camp, guns recovered, evidence of a shootout and explain how the bodies of those they killed ended up in the hands of those protesting that the boys were innocent

But all they will show you is statement

Go to DSS office in Imo state and you will see the evidence you are looking for.

Mr Evidence

The last days of Wike. Let him enjoy the media Fame and hype. But In reality, he is going nowhere.

Pdp winning Osun state without his support and shows his irrelevant in the party.

emanobis:
I wonder and marvel how people have allowed religion and tribe eclipse our sense of humanity and truth.
Truth which is glaringly clear to everyone, some other person would derive joy in changing the narrative due to religion and tribe affiliation.
How would dss carry out such an operation and no official statement after 48hours, not until there was a protest.
How could there be a gunfire confrontation and no arms were recovered.
Esn/IPOB camp including a 12yr old boy.
May same fate visit you in d same magnitude as you wish another man

A 12 year old boy can also be a video.

There is a video of ipob Esn Terrorist training children in one of their camps.

Melonsmasher:
One way or the other, May the evil perpetrated against these people and their families reach you one day

Evil cannot locate me because I don't support evil that is garnish with lies and propaganda that you ipob always support.

So the evil will only locate ipobs.

mauchiz:
Good morning all,
We have to help the lecturers in Abia state get justice,please lets all do something. These lecturers have families, will these children go back to the house?
All lovers of education in Nigeria,
Please give Abia state lecturers justice.


#JusticeforAbiastatelecturers
#stopikpeazufrombeingasenator

Oga stop posting this rubbish and don't disturb us here.

You abians should carry your cross. Your guys are born with stupidity and foolishness. Imagine voting for worse governors since 1999 from OUK, Ta orji and now ikpeazu. Abia People has serious mental problem for continue to vote for bad governance.

Since you Abia People don't want to use your brain to vote for good governor. Una go suffer! Una never see something.

When are you going to paste the Genocide ipob Terrorists committed on innocent Igbo civilians ?

Karma has caught you all. Ipobs will be eradicated from the surface of the soil.

Melonsmasher:
Watch the videos on the links I dropped above, those guys weren't ESN, you can even see from one of the videos one of the victims had with him a nylon filled with food stuffs he bought for his family

I can't waste my data to watch ipob doctored video.

Lol. Nylon filled with foodstuff. Another ipob propaganda

warlordd:
I knew they were Ipob bingos/Esn criminal.Wedding guests my foot! Good job Dss! Let them join Ikonso and other idiots in hell.

Propaganda and lies is their tool.

Whenever ipob esn criminals are killed. Ipob supporters will call them innocent civilians just to accept sympathy. But when they are successful, ipob supporters will hail them and called then saint UGm.

Uzodima is doing a good job. I love it. He tell them to come out of the bush and drop their arms or they will get crushed!!

stano2:
Your skul must be filled with cow dung for insulting someone more intelligent than your entire generation.
Why not counter him with your point, why support the murder of unarmed civilians.

lol. You want me to counter an ipob brainwashed member. It is a waste of time.

I support the killing of ipob criminals and supporters.

Melonsmasher:
I wish I could upload videos here.. The Imo state government has terrorized my zone.. How can they tag those innocent kids ESN.. the most painful of it all is the two blood brothers who fell victim. Hope Uzodimma will never know peace for the rest of his miserable life

ipob are the ones the ones terrorizing your zone.

Imo state government want to restore law and order.

7 ipob Terrorists has been sent to hell. More will join.

Uzodima warn them to accept amnesty or get crushed. More offensive is needed. Ipobs must be eradicated from the surface of the earth.

Finally the truth has be unveiled.

Nice on DSS. Those bastard that were protesting should be arrested. They are all ipob members habouring evil in their community.

gidgiddy:
Nonsense

This is the kind if statement you release after tagging people 'ESN' and unlawfully killing them. It has been going for a long time in Imo State

So the DSS wants people to believe that it led an operation to an ESN Camp in Awo-Mmamma, had a fierce exchange of gunfire with ESN, managed to kill 7 of them, but there is no single picture of the camp, weapons recovered or the bodies of those killed?

DSS only released a statement after people protested the killing of their youth?

Questions for the DSS:

How did the protesters get hold of the bodies of the so called ESN operatives you killed? Everybody knows that bodies of criminals killed in exchange of fire are confiscated

Why is it that you the DSS only released a statement after people protested?

Where is the evidence you went to any camp? Pictures, videos, weapons recovered?

Why would people be crying and protesting that their youths were unjustly murdered if you actually went to a camp and had a gunfight? Nobody on earth protests for a criminal killed in a gun battle, not even if it is their own son. People protest against injustice


DSS please tell us how protesters got hold of the bodies of those you killed in their camp!!

Oga stop crying. Go and join Esn if the pain you.

You don't want us to believe DSS but you want us to believe ipob. Animal!

Wickedfact:
Abians are talented in choosing idiots to rule them. They should be banned from voting for like 3 decades. Let other people vote their leaders for them.

You don't need other people to vote for them.

Just appoint a military administrator to rule over them.

Wickedfact:
God didn't elect Ikpeazu, Abians did. If they are stupid enough to elect him for second term, they deserve to suffer very well.

Do you know that commissioners in Abia state are now begging for food and money

If ikpeazu can't pay commissioners, how can he pay civil servants and lecturers ?

Wickedfact:
Abians are very docile people. They are not even talking about it.

They are happy with bad governance. So who are we to complain.

Orji uzor kalu and TA orji are on Senate. And ikpeazu want to go to the Senate in 2023.

Shame on Abia people.

iamyemiakins:
Abia state seems to be the worst state in Nigeria, I haven't seen any news about progress come out from that state

Nothing is going on in the state. Every government department and agencies has totally collapsed. Abia state is on autopilot.

The ugly fat toad of a governor is just a puppet install by TA orji to continue to loot that state blind.

Abia state is one of the undeveloped states in Nigeria. 24 years of democracy yet no good leadership. Orji kalu and TA orji is in the Senate. Okezie ikpeazu want to join them in the Senate. 3 failures in the Senate.

If I am president. I will either divide Abia state or appoint a military administrator to rule the state.

christonkeyz:
oga no vex BT I say u must b very stupid for what you said I swear ��. More than 12 of my friends n 4 of my cousins where killed by the ebubeagu n u are here saying rubbish

Sorry for your loss.

But regardless, Ebubuagu must stay.

paramakina202:
The idiots that beheads their fellow Igbos are not heartless abi?
Ogbu mma ga esi na mma ala,ogba egbe ga esi na egbe laa muo.
If ebubeagu are killing innocent youths karma will surely caught up them.

Innocent or ipob afflicted youths.

Ebubuagu is doing a good job. Peace is finally returning to Orlu.

duchessvikki0:
Imo state has become a danger zone. Young men cannot freely move around out of fear of being tagged as IPOB members

Every day, we lose young men in Orlu and Hope Uzodimma has kept mum over these atrocities meted out by Ebubeagu

May evil men reap the seeds they sow

Ebubeagu Must Go

But orlu communities allow Ipob to use their land as a camp to attack and kill security forces. What do you expect from security forces when they come for counter operation ? Of course you guys will part of colletral damage.

Ipob must go first. South East was peaceful till ipob lauch their Terrorist group called Esn.

Soso990240:
Are you saying that the Police can no longer protect the people against UGM? I hope u saw the video of AMOTEKUN warriors crying because soldiers collected theit charms from them.. thats what u should be more worried about.

Which police are you talking about ? The ones ipob Terrorists don kill finish.

Ebubuagu security has come to stay. Any ipob member or criminal will be killed like a criminal he is.

saintrow1:
Ebubeagu Must stay, they are doing extremely well.

U dey mind those people.

Most of those idiots can't even protest against Ugm. Ebubuagu must stay.

Is like saying police or army should be banned because of killing done in their hands. Is all part of colletral damage.

Those idiots protesting are sympathetic to Ipob gunmen. Ipob want to use these ugly situation to gain relevance.

You want Ebubuagu to go so that Ipob criminals will continue were they stop. Ndi ala!!!

Hope Uzodima should not succumbed to protest of criminals. It is your duty to protect IMO state as the Executive governor.

Those Killings by Ebubuagu operatives should be investigated. Ebubuagu security is not going anywhere.
