Why do we have so much emotional attachment to religion and tribe before election but are willing to suffer together after the election.

The sooner we understand that government cannot do business successfully the better for all of us. The bureaucratic nature of government will not allow any business to survive.
In short government should stop doing business in Nigeria.

Run as fast as your legs can carry you, it is against God's commandments. God can forgive you after you sinned but nature don't.
It is not about her husband but you.

Is it not better to sell these refineries than to keep running them this way. Look at Eleme petrochemical, though it was sold to Indians but it is running better till date, paying taxes and creating employments.

10% of your income/profit does not belong to you. It is for the weak in the society and that is why God said that we should bring the tithe to my house so that there will enough food in my house for the weak in the society. Matt:23 shows that Charity is more than tithing.

This is a product of broken marriage and it is the main problem we have now as a nation. Cultism, arm robbery, kidnapping, militancy, boko haram, etc are all by-product of broken marriages.
Let us learn from this and manage our marriages well.

Nigerians are tired of these excuses APC leaders are given us. We all know that PDP as a party has failed us and that is why we voted for APC to bring the change we all are clamoring for.
APC leaders should work hard to bring this change as soon as possible and stop telling us the old story. Do you think if PDP had performed well that APC will have a chance?

Elder Lai, please note that you are no longer the mouthpiece of APC rather you are now the information minister of our country and this is the change we are all clamoring for.

Only the truth can set of free as a country. What of the bone marrow test, have we find a way to manipulate the test?

APC party leaders are the cause of all these problems rocking the party especially in the national assembly. They have more than two months since the last election to inform their members on how they want to share the various leadership positions available so that everybody will know the direction of the party but instead they kept quite because they have hidden agenda.
Their silence make the party faithful to start holding various meetings among themselves and make commitments, by the time the party came out with their positions, it was too late because members have committed themselves through promises and otherwise.
The resultant effect is what is playing out in the national assembly. A stitch in time saves nine.

Former Governor Kwankwanso advised APC leadership immediately after the election to take a stand on the zoning formula they want to adopt on various positions in both legislative houses and executive so that each member of their party will know the direction the party is heading to. He said that this will help the party members that are vying for various positions to know the direction they will tow. He said that delay is dangerous because party members will start making commitment to each other base on what they know, by the time the leadership of the party wakes up from the slumber it will be too late to adhere to party instruction because by that time members may not be willing to change their mind on the commitment they have already made.
This is the same mistake PDP made and it played out yesterday in APC control house. I call it politics 101, APC should learn faster if they want to make any notable change in Nigeria.

We have allowed politicians to fool us all the time, let us devise a means of checking those that are performing from those that are not performing. For me, I have make my check list which will be my bench mark for GMB. This check list will come into effect on May 29, 2015 and I will use it compare our economy in the next four years to where my vote should go. I encourage everyone to make his or her own check list so that these politicians will stop deceiving us.
There is my check list as @ May, 2015.
1. $1 = N197
2. Petrol price = N87
3. Crude oil price = $52/barrel
4. 1 KWH of power = N13.8 (Fixed charge = N750/month)
5. Rice = N9800/bag
6. Unemployment rate = 68%
7. Life span = 45 years
8. Rent: 2 bedroom flat = N300,000 per year.
9. Minimum wage = N18,000
10. Flight ticket local = N28,000
11. Bus: Lagos to PH = N4,000

By 2019, I will check where we are and this will determine where my vote will go. I encourage us to make similar check list because a politician will always be a politician.

Please can someone educate us on how PVC cards will be use to checkmate rigging during the election. Your opinion are welcome

We will continue to say it, we are tired of the way PDP have ruled us since 1999, but APC is not doing their home work well, bringing out a 72 year old man as their presidential candidate for this election is making us to think twice. Can GEM work for 40 hours a week? Go to your village and check whether does that are 72 years are still active in the day to day activities.

Great crowd, how many of them have PVC card?

The question I usually ask Nigerian is can GMB work for 40 hours in a week?, have you seen a 72 year old man trying to be active, we cannot cheat mother nature.
We are all tired with the way PDP have been ruling us since 1999 but for APC to bring out a 72 year old man to be active again, somebody is not trying to be serious.
APC have all the opportunities to win 2015 election but I think they are giving it back to PDP on a prater of gold. Chosen a right candidate is their greatest misnomer.

The problem of corruption in Nigeria is the way we are fighting it. You don't fight corruption by waiting for it to occur before going after the thieves but you put a system that will checkmate it. 90% of high profile corrupt cases in Nigeria are always through our financial institution like banks, let us make our banking system complete cashless in order to monitor cash movement and corruption will drop by 50%. No Nigeria elites will want to be caught a thief.
Our Government can put in place other measures that will ensure transparency.
If we continue with the way we are going, corruption will not be reduced because if 100 persons are corrupt and you catch 20, the remaining 80 will be expanding with their gang.

90% of APC members are from PDP, if by now they don't understand all the loopholes in electioneering and checkmate them so that the Nigerian masses can have their way (one man one vote), then they are not worthy to be called strong opposition.
In my opinion, they seem not to understand how to balance political equation.

Where can I buy a high pressure washer (hot or cold) and whirl-away from Nigeria and how much do they cost?
