humilitypays:You call Kings College, a mere unity school as a place of education for the privileged children? Is the term school fees at Kings College up to N100K, or the session fees up to N250K Maybe only for a nostalgic few whose father and grandfather attended such a school. What then do we call the children attending Corona, GreenSprings, AIS, BIS, Lekki British, Atlantic Hall, Grange, Igbinedion, Bells etc? All the schools listed above have session fees in millions of naira. We should stop terrorizing the struggling middle class whose parents are mostly civil servants and mid level employees in corporate Nigeria, when those whose parents are corporate titans and thieving politicians are sleeping in peace. |

A stitch in time saves nine. Imagine if the Buhari regime had eliminated waste in government since 2015. Imagine if the Buhari regime had eliminated Police brutality since 2015. Imagine if the Buhari regime had revamped our justice system since 2015. Imagine if rather than flying abroad for healthcare which he condemned when he was still outside of power, Buhari had equipped all our teaching hospitals to international standard since 2015. Imagine if the quality of education in Nigeria had improved since 2015 to the level Yusuf Buhari enjoyed in the UK. Imagine if the Buhari regime had ensured the independence of our local governments, such that they were functioning democratically and funded to deliver the development we need at our door step. 5yrs is enough to show if you are useful or useless. Buhari is useless, and the APC is equally useless and no better than the useless PDP that was sacked. No single societal ill predating 2015 has been corrected in the last 5yrs, so what then was the gain of sacking a party that had wasted 16yrs of democracy? I hope we the citizenry can enforce the change that will make us truly democratic and truly develop not just on paper but in reality. Do away with every politician that has ever registered in any of the existing or notable parties that have held power at the local, state, or federal level. Let us have a new type of politics and political ideology, canvassed by those who are involved in Nigeria. Whose children school in Nigeria, whose family enjoy healthcare in Nigeria, whose livelihood depend on the success of Nigeria. |
When the dust settles I hope we can continue to speak up and defend our rights. -Never pay any fee for police bail. -Never pay any extra fee for government services already paid for. We need to resist each other from extorting and abusing each other. Let the new crop of politicians that will emerge learn that we are not existing at their mercy. You do your job and we keep you in office, or you mess up and we sack you. It is very evident, that the APC government did not learn from the sack of PDP. Buhari happen to be the greatest hypocrite who learnt nothing from all that has transpired over the past decade. |
uptimum123:Would it hurt the deaf President to address the country? Even if it is a prerecorded broadcast? |
MagicBishop:The bigot in you has risen from the sand like an Ostrich finally pulling out its head. Now you can stop fooling yourself on why you cannot till today criticize the useless Jonathan regime. |
MagicBishop:Have you checked my post history and not see my support for the ongoing protests and my condemnations for the killings? You have not sent my post were I am asking salient questions about the typical uselessness of government to always wait for a mob protest before awaking to their paid responsibilities? Why has successive regimes inclusive of the Jonathan regime you love to white wash, not done something about the bail in Police stations that is not free as stipulated? Why have we not had a government since 1999 come out to speak strongly on lynching and jungle justice? I have asserted many times that we are yet to have a democracy, seeing that all we have is civilian rule. Your problem as you rightly confessed is that you do not read. You are an accursed wailer who loves the sound of his own voice and sight of his own words. You are here gloating rather than commiserating. I am a Christian but will be offended if you share same faith with me. You are a deranged, obsessively hateful and hypocritical human. |
MagicBishop:Unfortunately for you who has been gloating like an accursed soul over the misfortunes of patriotic Nigerians, I have identified with the protest and condemned the uselessness of successive governments including the current regime of Buhari. Even your words above suggest that you are a frustrated partisan hawk who is not interested in the rights of the average Nigerian, but bitter that you were once in power but was sacked by the same youths who are protesting now, as they have always protested against uselessness in government. A uselessness you have tried for the past 5yrs to revise as a great democracy of the Jonathan regime, which is belied by the many facts I have haunted you with. |
MagicBishop:There has never been anything to enjoy in Nigeria. Only the political class that you defend have always enjoyed Nigerian citizenship. And so, I always look forward towards a better government, without remorse for criticizing the past useless regimes who must never be glorified in comparison to a present failure. When will you forgo your obsessive partisanship of past failures and embrace a selfless forward aspiration for a better Nigeria that benefits all? |
MagicBishop:I do not need the form of a Jonathan obsessed wailer crying over the sack of a corrupt and ineffective regime. I am a critic and we have no forms to give to partisan hawks who can't even read. It is very easy to claim not to have read what you know is factual records and that cannot be defended. It is termed the Ostrich defense. But in doing so and running away from the facts that defeats your false sentimentalism, everyone get to see that you cannot be taken seriously as a concerned patriot of your country. You are a hungry political jobber wailing over the loss of your principal that puts food on your table. The useless Jonathan regime is gone forever. No more free food for the lazy. You should have applied for the immigration job of that regime that killed many job applicants. |
MagicBishop:I remain a critic of the failed PDP governments who failed us for 16yrs, and I also condemned the failure of the Buhari regime to achieve much reform in Nigeria as at 2019. But rather than Nigerians moving forward ever to have a change of government by trying another party, some wanted to take us back to PDP and Atiku whose stated mission was to enrich his friends. What exactly is your obsession with the useless regime of Jonathan? Of all the PDP presidents, he was the most useless, yet you cannot stop wailing over the well deserved sack he got from the disappointed Nigerians who voted him to power in the SouthWest and MiddleBelt? Is there any infrastructure or amenity your are not enjoying now due to the failure of this current regime, that the useless regime of Jonathan provided you? Were you treated better by the Police or Army during the Jonathan regime? Was the Jonathan regime tolerant of dissenting opinion, or was the regime more responsive to complaints without the need to resort to strikes and protests? Whose regime locked out a state governor from accessing his own state house? Whose regime deployed the military to take over a state owned stadium that had not been authorized for use by the President's party? Whose regime locked the National Assembly such that the sitting Speaker and his colleagues had to climb over the gate? Whose regime sent the military to Ojota to clear out a peaceful protest on the 13th day? You are an irredeemable wailer and your loss is permanent. |
We know your partisan type. The same Lagosians who protested against the uselessness of government in 2012 as was done in other Nigerian cities and together sacked that useless government in 2015, are the same Lagosians joining with other Nigerians in their different cities to protest against the useless government now. The useless regime of Jonathan that did not solve any problem we are still facing now, is gone forever, so stop crying over spilt milk. |
Biglittlelois:I am someone who campaigned to sack a previous useless government. I will always criticise any government in power that is useless, and never glorify one useless regime over another useless regime, nor will I ever seek a return to a previous useless arrangement. I am ever looking forward toward a better Nigeria. I do not extort anyone where I work, or collect bribes to do my work that is already paid for. Can you say the same about yourself? |
madridguy:I tire for these partisan propagandists. They've suddenly forgotten how wicked and useless and undemocratic the Jonathan regime was and want to force it down our throats that he was our way to salvation. I do not support any useless regime that kills its own citizens who are only asking for their rights. That the current regime is useless and deaf, does not mean I suddenly give a pass mark to the previous regime that was also useless. Let them continue lying to themselves that the Army of 2012 or 2014 was professional, or that Police bail was free before 2015, or that electricity was uninterrupted in Nigeria before 2015. I will always challenge their stupidity and short memory with documented facts. When I encouraged people to look at presidential contestants like Oby Ezekwesili in 2015, irredeemable partisan hawks like those quoting me were shouting that Atiku is coming, and that the unknown and young politicians should go and contest for state house of assembly before aspiring to higher office. Who between Buhari, Atiku, and Oby do we think would have reformed the police without waiting for such anarchy to beset us as a motive for doing the job that ought to have already been done? Oby was on the streets protesting regularly, suffering police harassment and brutality, fighting for us who seat behind the safety of our laptops and phones. Yet some said she campaigned against their almighty useless Jonathan, so she must be punished. Some said any other candidate vote outside of thieving Atiku, was a vote for Buhari. Now we are back to the same song of looking to have leaders who know what the people feel and need, and we would still waste the opportunity in 2023, if people cannot be honest enough to admit without partisanship that the past politicians and leaders are all useless, and neither PDP or APC will ever fix Nigeria. |
Ochemicals:If after all the evidence you still try to defend the useless regime before this current useless one, then you are living in denial and will never solve your problems in life. I also hate fools with a short memory who also lie about the past. I also do not want to know such a person, who refuse to have sense and deny the past. I repeat that many youths sacked the Jonathan regime and PDP for being useless, so when time comes, sack the useless party you have in power now. |
Ochemicals:Yes there were gunshots, and yes both the army and police killed during that protest. We did not forget, and we punished that government with a sack. Now go and punish this same useless government and stop defending the useless Jonathan regime that can never do wrong in your partisan eyes. I reject this government like I have always rejected any useless government. Can you say the same about your defense of the useless regime of Jonathan that did not give you any of the things you are clamouring for now? |
Bluntguy:The army in 2014 was still professional means the army only became unprofessional after 2014, not anytime before. This is why many of your fail English comprehension. At no time was the Nigerian Army ever professional, so save the sentimental bullshit. |
Nbotee:You have started editing your own claim. So why make a false claim previously? Was it out of ignorance or out of a desire to live in denial of the previous failure who we rightly sacked? Jonathan was such a useless and abysmal failure as President, that he made a recurrent failure called Buhari become electable. And yes, they shot at protesters and the police also killed during that protest. Let it sink into your skull that Jonathan was no better than Buhari. He was so weak that even his own ministers never obeyed his directive. Or did the ministry of interior return the application fee as instructed for the immigration recruitment disaster that claimed many lives? Did Jonathan regime compensate the families of the dead as promised, until the reelection date was postponed and he quickly went about town appeasing those he had obviously forgotten? The mistake made in 2015 which we must not repeat in 2023, is to vote a leader who will be as useless as the former. |
Bluntguy:The army of 2014 was still professional, yet it massacred in Odi and Zaki Biam years before? The same irresponsible army that has always terrorized "bloody civilians"? We forget so soon that even these actions by Buhari will be forgotten once the proceeding government does same harm, we will have people praising the Buhari regime for being better democratic and tolerant. |
Nbotee:Jonathan sent the army to Ojota. That Buhari has failed, does not mean the previous failure has suddenly passed the test of leadership or democracy. |
People can never be wrong for wanting a right to their own life. I support any struggle that forces the useless government to do the job it is being overfed to undertake. Also, unharmed protestors being shot dead underscores the very reason why the #ENDSARS protests should never end so soon, because old deadly habits of our security forces die hard. They are wont to always leave in their wake, sorrow tears and blood as their trademark. Human life is not regarded in Nigeria, both by the government and the citizenry who are also quick to lynch a suspect. |
NGpatriot:You should be ashamed of yourself. Is she not leading from the front herself? Is she the one in power that made our educational sector comatose? Why should a useful citizen Aisha Yesufu not give her children the quality of education that useless Buhari, Saraki, Tinubu, Atiku are giving their own children? |
StaffofOrayan:What about his disapproval of foreign medical trip, yet he proved to be the greatest hypocrite. |
When will Police bail be free as stipulated? What will be the punishment for DPOs that allow the extortion of bail fee to continue? |
Tripssy:Is he unaware that bail is not free at the different police stations in Lagos State? Give your answer and I will show you that what is happening now should have happened since 1999 when we returned to civilian rule but refused to return to democracy. I will never make any excuse for the uselessness of the police rank and file. |
Akin to telling a Nigeria policeman to grant bail free as stipulated. |
If the change government of Buhari was not sleeping when it got to power, all of these would have been avoided with dutiful service to the people. Now that we have realized that both PDP and APC are useless and will never seriously pursue anything that is of benefit to the commonwealth, are we ready to ensure that the 2019 - 2023 regime is the last tenure of these irredeemable and useless politicians? If you are not ready to vote politicians who are not closely or remotely associated with PDP and APC, but you are protesting now to reform the police or government, then you should stop deceiving your own self being the architect of your problems. |
Good! If you had done your job and not wait for anarchy before you are responsive to the many complaints against the police force, you would have had no reason to trek for 10KM. When next you get reports of police brutality and indiscipline, remember your 10KM trek and respond decisively. |
skentelelady:Why is the Governor's office waiting for a mob protest before initiating measure that would solve prison congestion due to slow or non prosecution of an accused for over 4years? Must we show madness and militancy before those in power do their jobs. I celebrate with the freed prisoners who are not convicts. |
When Gbenga Aruleba was sacked by AIT, did any Yoruba conclude that Afemai people of Edo state are wicked to Yorubas? It is time for Igbos to rehabilitate themselves from the prejudices and sensationalism and tribalism that destroyed their parent's generation. It is time for them to stop portraying tribal weakness, for they are not endangered species in Nigeria. Whatever happens to any Emeka in Nigeria can also happen to any Olusegun, or Yakubu. |
