At the risk of his job, i doubt

But he has done many things at the risk of his job. For instance he sent 2 different reports on Magu to the President & Senate President.

NgeneUkwenu:
propaganda taken too far

Somebody with obviously a bad hand writing, sat down somewhere near a Mama put kiosk, concoct names from the moon and pass it off as Senators in support of Saraki.

This Akpabio defection really entered this Regional Ipob party called PDP...

Nigerian politicians have a penchant for overheating the political space.

The list displayed here lied against itself in it's introductory part by saying "we the undersigned" whereas signatures were not appended.

Politicians and propaganda are like 6 and 7.

sometimes,i wonder how teebillz lost it. he was behind the emergence and initial success of two popular artistes(saucekid and tiwa savage). today,he's practically lost both acts to other people. people like iceberg slim and traffic,got a little bit of buzz via saucekid's "money lounge mixtape" which was executive produced by teebillz too. such a sad story for the young man.

The situation is really pathetic. I pray that he finds his 'magic wand' to make things happen favourably for himself again.

Lorenzop:
What are they coming back to? A responsible government would have settled them with some cash to start a good life but no this government wont because as usual you dont care about the citizens. Nonsense

Are you for real? People who invested between #1.4 million and #2 million should be settled? What about lots of people working their hands to their bones in this country and paying their taxes as well, government hasn't settled them not to talk of people who chose to throw away their own cash.

AustineCJ:
Agree to disagree.... oyibo and ojoro, musa should have made top 3

How many Nigerians or Africans voted for Musa's Goal. We cannot accuse the white man of Ojoro when we refuse to vote.

Nigeman:
Whoever that wished Ekiti bad because of politics will have his curses backfired.

Amen.

MachoKid:
No. Their parents migrated at some point to France, gave birth to them in France (at which point they become automatic citizens). From the point of birth, the dynamic excellence of the France's advanced amenities, opportunities and the systemic grooming of their talents was put at their disposal and they emerged to be all they can be. Just the way my dad migrated here to the USA in the early 60s to study at Howard University in Washington D.C, met my mom, they gave birth to me and siblings and from that point of our automatic birthright citizenship, we benefited from America's systemic excellence in advanced amenities, education, opportunities, grooming of our skills etc. Today we are all successful in our different endeavors and will proudly lay our lives down for America who gave us all we needed to be all we can be. The moment Nigeria starts to give its highly resourceful, creative, and innovative natural born citizens all they need to be all they can be, Nigeria will occupy its currently empty seat at the table of world powers.

Well said.

slimghost:
There is nothing wrong with annnouncing counted and collated results. They have agents present at all wards. This is a way of curbing manipulation of counted results.
There is something called SENSE, please confirm you have it before I engage you further.

Going on air to announce results is punishable by 2 years in jail according to the Nigerian law books. Fayose might just have unwittingly played into the hands of people that want his head.

janejive:
Ode, continue to complain and watch small girls with big God steal him from under your nose.

Calling her 'Ode' was simply not necessary. Op simplicity does not equate to poverty mentality.

Your simplicity which some people are attempting to deride is what actually attracted the guy to you in the first instance. At least he saw several other 'social' and classy babes which he ignored.

berryford:
An average Nigerian would do that.
It's not their fault anyway

It is entirely their fault. Anyone who coughed out 1.4million for this trip with the intention of running away deserves to be blamed.

lordtosan:
Much as I hate Buhari's administration and the man himself, I think this statement by Ben Bruce is "nationally wrong' and not good for our development. Ben Bruce must be seen as an enemy of the state.

Yes, the past government started it but the project would have been a deserted ruin if this present government had turned it's face away. The man who completes a task deserves the better share of the accolades. And that's what Buhari has done. This statement by Bruce has the potential of discouraging continuity in governance which in turn will stifle development. Lets not allow our party affiliation and political loyalty stagnate our progress.


Goalscorers covert chances created by other players to goals and take much of the glory even though they might not have been involved in the build up play. Yet their names get put in the scorer sheet and they get praised for the goals without which those created chances would have been a total waste.


Thata being said and this notwithstanding,

BUHARI MUST GO!!

Kudos to you and any other person who is able to separate politics from patriotism/ national development.

One of the drawbacks of the Nigerian political landscape is that some people do not mind cutting their nose to spite their face. With statements like this one credited to Ben Bruce, we should all understand why successive governments abandon projects that aren't initiated by them.

Jabioro:
For God sake ? The girl is member, she agreed with all the procedure to be hard girl that can withstand any pressure... so why is she crying foul ...Let her enjoy the pains of been multiple rape while it last....

Most times the girls are raped and forcefully initiated. Never ever justify rape as it can happen to someone close to you.

emerged01:
I'm not against voting Buhari out. I'm just asking us to vote Buhari out for own interest not for the politicians interest. Let us be wise this time.

You have spoken very wisely.

dodelight:
Nigerians are taking their nation back already.
Let the zombies mourn their departing Daura lord. His shame is eminent.
We are winning already...

Sadly, this is not about Nigerians taking their country back. This is about the thieving elites coming together to wrestle power from Buhari and share the spoils of war afterwards.

I pray for the day that ordinary Nigerians will come together to take the country back from the thieving elites.

They came together to oust GEJ now they are coming together to oust PMB. Until the country is restructured nothing good is likely to come out from this contraption.

treasuremi1:
One of the major problems we have in this country. Nobody will do anything because someone at the top is collecting bribes for these wicked acts

Like I always say, the failure of leadership over the years is aided and abetted by the failure of followership in this country.

If the guys at the top would not do anything about this issue, what is wrong with the masses boycotting Airtel services for now. I believe that the scammed business partners as well as the sacked employees have relatives & friends who can start a campaign for boycotting Airtel services? When the followers apply the necessary pressure the leaders would be compelled to step in.

TheAngry1:
This nincompoop is a Senator of the Federal Republic! This is the ideeeot that Kogi people refused to recall because of N1000 bribe abi? Believe me, Nigeria and Nigerians deserve the leadership we have...

You can say that again!

Iblad0994:
The day i stopped beleiveing news from the media was the day they said Boko Haram is killing people on Lagos-Ibadan expressway. They even went further circulating pictures depicting the bomb scene and causing unnecessary panic.

Everyone that is making this country inhabitable and circulating false information all about shall know no peace.

Although, the Government is not proactive enough and it makes it look like they are aiding the herdsmen, But the people circulating false statement are even adding to the wound, I just tire for this Country.

We are the architects of our woes!

PearlStreet:
This is Lagos, we don't need your Atiku/Buhari madness here.

There's a time for politics and a time to keep shut if you have nothing sensible to say.

Thanks for saying my mind. Only idiots play politics with the death of innocent people.

EroticJane:
Go back to the old ways of transporting PMS, Gas, Kerosene and other flammable substance through pipes all over the country. Nigerians also need to behave and stop vandalizing these pipes. We are too stubborn and greedy.

Yes, Nigerians are stubborn and greedy. And perhaps we should add selfishness to the list.

DrGoodman:
Buharri and osinbaba promised 3 million jobs yearly.

Forget Buhari, GEJ or any other politician for that matter. Most of these people who travelled by road are actually the architects of their own woes.

There is nothing wrong in seeking greener pastures but people should learn to do so legitimately.

Now most of these Libya returnees have tasted violent crimes and have become hardened, the security operatives should profile them and keep an eye on them because some of them may choose to go into violent crimes in the future.

cashlurd:
Politicians and atrocities are like 5&6. If its not fraud, it would be kidnapping or assassination or thuggery or corruption or tribalism and ethnic bigotry with nepotism.

The only way forward?? Restructuring Nigeria!!!!


FTC!

.

Very aptly put. Nigerian politicians are mostly criminals who maintain some seemingly clean businesses to cover their tracks.

If I was a security operative I will leave these criminals to keep neutralizing each other before some factions would come and accuse me of framing their own when they know that the person actually committed the crime.


We keep shouting persecution without thinking about the cache of arms that are being intercepted by customs regularly. For every container of arms intercepted 10 have escaped, given the porous nature of our borders.

The million dollar question is this: "Who are those bringing these arms in?"

Akwasi:
As these bloods continue to be spilled, the land will sooner than later fight back. There is too much blood getting spilled on that map called nigeria. beware o!

Very true

OGHENAOGIE:
do we even need a foreign it high time we stick to our ingedinous coaches rohr couldnt do more than keshi with all the positive support he had...

We don't need any foreign coach. Both Onigbinde and Keshi got us to second rounds in the world cup while Siasia got us to the final of the Olympics.

charlesm91:
If Nigeria knows what's good, they should hire herve renard, the Moroccan coach. That's a foreign African coach who's tried and trusted to do a good job. He understands African football better than any white coach we've had in recent memory.

Do you remember Lars Lagerback, it was the same sentiment that made us hire him but he could not deliver.

I guess we are too much in a hurry for results; otherwise why can't we engage Siasia, Okocha or any of these ex-international on a contract of 5 years and provide the necessary support.

What is Rohr's pedigree? If we want a foreign coach we should go for the top ones and pay them basic living expenses while the bulk of their emolument which will be pre-agreed will be paid after getting us to at least quarter finals in the world cup otherwise they forfeit that.

gabazin080:
Since I borrowed 200 from MTN last week, they keep sending me messages like recharge 200 and win 7 houses in Lekki
They think I don't have sense

Abeg no kill me with laughter. As in WTF?!

GavelSlam:


You mean to Hausa-Fulani muslim?

I thought you said they want to Islamize the country.

GavelSlam, you can like to look for trouble sha. Hey, this table you are shaking will lead to your mentions being spammed o.

patrick2015:
What isn't right isn't right. Even if Fayose actually did what was said and went free doesn't mean we allow others do same. It's high time we got things right in this country. We must face the present government and stop making reference to others that committed culpable offenses and went free. If we keep protecting these guys because he's your guy Nigeria will never be great. Political office holders must start being responsible. If they fail we must crucify. That FAYOSE got away with it doesn't mean we'll let FAYEMI or any other person get away with. That Jonathan failed doesn't mean we'll excuse Buhari for failing. Let's start getting it right please. Stop protecting these guys.

I believe a lot of reasonable Nigerians will not protect any politician who attempts to mess up with us.

However, it is difficult to take Fayose serious with the way he talks flippantly. He is not the only opposition governor but he has said a lot of things in the past that turned out to be blatant lies.

Politicians like Fayose, who play politics with everything, exist both in APC and PDP and we should never allow them to ride rough shod over us.

syntax50:
HATE ME OR NOT AS LONG AS WE THE NIGERIAN ELECTORATE CONTINUE TO FOCUS OUR SEARCHLIGHT ON THE PRESIDENCY ALONE AND TURN THE BLIND EYE TO THE NASS; THEN NO MATTER WHO SITS ON THE SEAT(PRESIDENT) NIGERIA WILL MOVE FURTHER BACKWARD & NEVER FORWARD......

THE NASS IS THE BANE OF OUR EXISTENCE AS A DEMOCRATIC ENTITY.

This is deep.

PrincessB1:
And he said "I was in a church to pray for forgiveness and confess to the pastor because I did not have peace of mind"

Where goeth your conscience before?

His conscience, probably, was on sabbatical.

CSTR1003:
But Buhari has not done well.


So what exactly has buhari done,atleast for the eastern region?

Thanks for the questions and I will oblige you answers to the best of my knowledge.

The Niger bridge is in limbo.

I believe the Niger bridge is in limbo because the lawmakers of SE extractions do not want the completion of the bridge for reasons best known to them. Otherwise, how do we explain the slashing of budgetary provisions for important stuffs like this.

If we claim that PMB does not like Igbos and that is the reason for the bridge being in limbo; what happened under GEJ who did not hide his affection for the Igbos having appointed Okonjo Iweala, Pius Anyim, Stella Odua and others into key positions.

Erosion is ravaging the eastern region, while the FG is looking.

Again, this erosion issue as worrisome as it is did not start 5 years ago. We have had many governments come and go. What efforts have lawmakers of South Eastern extraction made to ensure that this problem is solved. What is Ike Ekeremadu doing about it as Deputy Senate President.

Besides, we should investigate how much each governor has collected as ecological funds from FG since 1999 till date and then find out if judicious use have been made of the said funds.

As far as I'm concerned, the erosion issue is an emergency that ought to be addressed urgently.

The Enugu airport terminal that had been budgeted for in 2017 was rebudgeted for in 2018 again only for the national assembly to cancel it

It is not unusual to make budgetary provisions for projects across many fiscal years. For instance, if you are building a house that will cost you a total of #30 million, you can budget #10 million in 2017, another #10 million in 2018 and another #10 million in 2019 to make up the total.

CSTR1003:
A shoddy road like that is a good deed.?

If that is a good deed, then what will we call the second Niger bridge that has become a propaganda value?

I was not talking about the quality of the road. I quoted the gentleman who promised to always criticize the government whenever it messed up as well commend the government whenever it did well.

My response to him was to encourage him and many others like him.

CaptJeffry:
This is a good development. This doesn't mean I won't criticize the FG whenever it messes MESSI up.

Thumbs up. Criticizing the government when it messes up is a responsibility that we must never shirk. But I agree with you that we should recognize the government's good deeds whenever it performs.
