Hmmm. Did you recall that Buhari himself was a beneficiary of direct primary in 2015? Just to remind you in case you may have forgotten or inform you in case you didn't know.

Don't mind the guy, president Buhari was a beneficiary of direct primary in 2015 and there was no contention or court cases unlke indirect primary that is full of court cases

cutievik:
You are really ignorant.


I don't bother to read through all your paragraphs.

That bill would have sent us backwards, it's best the national assembly expunge the direct primaries from the bill and resent to the president for consent.


Hatred would make you sit down to think from your ass.

Damnit!

Beautiful rubbish, how will direct primary set us back according to you.

Some of you would just be talking based on what whom you admire is saying. There is no personal and deep thought on government policy.

Just anywhere Belle face

VaselineCrew:
How can Nigeria ever be great with citizens like this that support their oppressors?

Do you know meaning not oppression?

NEPA that didn't provide transformer, the community contribute to buy one.

They didn't erect pole and install the cables, it was provided by the community,

Individual buy meter with their money, but NEPA claim ownership

When there's repairs in any of the facilities, the community mobilised and pay for the repair.

They would bring fluntuating light that would end up damaging your gadget

They only bring light in the middle of the night when you don't need it but wont blink it during the day when it's useful.

Now tell me who is oppressor here

Igbo and Yoruba are big allies with exception of some indoctrinated IPOB like Asgard and Lagosprince who are filled with hate and jelousy which distort their thought process

That's what they deserve

SmartPolician:
Huncle, don't be deceived - Nigeria cannot split through deliberations and negotiations. The reason is that the beneficiaries of the dysfunctional system will never let that happen. That's why any call for referendum or secession is perceived as a call for war.

Disintegration will happen naturally, it's just a matter of time.

The north is weak due to BH and banditry, SE us already plague by UGM and cannibal version of IPOB, SS are warming up while the awareness is spreading like fire in the SW, it's just a trigger and the engine would knock

You want to make some people cry blood

Oghighirhighi:
Wait till Nigeria dismembers or is restructured, all the Afonjas will know that there is nothing special about Lagos as everybody will go back to develop his or her region or country and Lagos will fall back to an old dirty Afonja enclave.

We want you to pack your luggage and leave this very moment and stop constituting nuisance and hindering the progress of Lagos

FarahAideed:
Name one thing the leaders have done if not looting?

No road

Heightening insecurity

Poor electricity

No street lights

No pipe borne water

No town planning in 90 percent of areas


No Sewage treatment

Very poor sanitary conditions


Abeg tell me what exactly Tinubu and his crew does for Lagos

That's a general bproblem and not limited to Lagos, the worst governor in Lagos State is better than your best Peter Obi China

Governor Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari Of Zamfara Builds $3m Hotel In Lagos With Funds Stolen From Paris Club Refund Cash
Economic and financial Crimes Commission officials in Lagos said they have found a hotel being constructed by Governor Yari of Zamfara state with $3m he stole from London-Paris Club loan refund to Nigerian states.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKMAY 14, 2017

Economic and financial Crimes Commission officials in Lagos said they have found a hotel being constructed by Governor Yari of Zamfara state with $3m he stole from London-Paris Club loan refund to Nigerian states.


The governor who is the chairman of the Governor’s Forum illegally diverted N19billion reportedly meant for "consultants" from the Paris club loan refund which had been illegally paid into the account of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) by Nigeria’s Minister of France, Kemi Adeosun and the Central Bank of Nigeria.

SaharaReporters learnt that the hotel is a 100-room property situated in Lekki area of Lagos.

EFCC officials said they have already marked down the hotel as proceeds of corruption and plan to take it over after obtaining a court order.

Apart from the $3million, Governor Yari also diverted N500 million from the Paris Club refund to pay off a loan, an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) source revealed to SaharaReporters.

According to the source, Mr. Yari withdrew N500m from the N19 billion Paris Club refund from the account of Nigeria Governors Forum from the N522b allocated to the 36 states and deposited the sum into a mortgage bank account.

Mr. Yari then transferred the sum to the mortgage bank from which he had borrowed N800m to purchase to properties in 2013. According to the source, the governor was able to renegotiate his debt from N800m to N500m.


Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari
Overall the governor is said to have embezzled the sum of N2.2 billion from the N19billion set aside illegally to pay "consultants."

SaharaReporters had earlier revealed that Senate President Bukola Saraki and his cronies are also being investigated by the EFCC for his role in the embezzlement of N3.5b from the Paris Club loan through the slush fund placed at the Access Bank by the Nigeria Governors Forum, who claimed it was meant for consultants.

Lagos economy is boosted by importation ..how many factories are in Lagos sef?

I don't do dick measuring, answer that yourself

thebosstrevor1:
Lagos was never developed, lets get it right.

Fyi...no northern leader or my family member lives in a dirty city like lagos.

Let me burst your bubble, even in the height of boko haram in borno state, the vast majority of borno elites were living in Maiduguri.

Fyi again, Northern elites don't live in Lagos or in the South, the highest they can go to live is in Abuja.

We can say that about your elites, who will run to france or uk once crises start

Have you forgotten your governor's are stealing your money to buy houses in Lagos

thebosstrevor1:
Lagos has never been clean that is because of its historical history of the people who are the natives of the land.

May thunder fire your smelly mouth with this statement. Who on Earth is as dirty as your people, Alaba Rago and Mile 12 where your people resides are the dirtiest place in Lagos.

FarahAideed:
Lagos is the 5th largest economy partly because of the industriousness of a particular tribe...

Was it your forefathers that build industrial estates in Lagos?. When Awolowo was building industrial estates what were your fathers doing?

Compared to Kano, it is heaven

Listic1:
I agree.

"Subsidy payments" may never end in Nigeria. This government has supposedly stopped "subsidy payments" at least once in 2016/17 when Ibe Kachikwu was Minister of State for Petroleum. He even said that PMS will be sold cheaper than the price it was pegged at then in the subsequent years. Contrary to his deceptive claims, the same government is still talking about fuel subsidy removal in 2021/22 which is actually a ruse. How can the government talk about fuel subsidy removal and the same government is still going to dictate the price for which the product will be sold. It means market forces are not going to determine the price of the product. How then can we be discussing deregulation of the sector? Therein lies the humongous SCAM which this government is about to perpetrate on hapless citizens!

You just capture my though with this submission. Anytime government talk about subsidy removal just know they meant price increase.

Whereas there are different between price increase, subsidy removal and deregulation.

You can't talk of subsidy removal when you still dictate the price.

What is deregulation all about when government is fixing price.

I think deregulation in Nigeria context mean restructuring. Deregulation means there would be a huge disparity in price of fuel in different parts of the country which the government is not ready do. It is generally believe that the north is poor and it's the responsibility of the government to protect such region in the interest of Nigeria. Deregulating oil sector would mean most northern region would have to buy fuel at higher price since most of the pipeline that transverse northern region that could ease and enhance cheap traport of fuel is susceptible to vandalisation. This is why every government would always play lip service deregulation but would always come up with subsidy removal when what they are doing is mere increasing the price of fuel

backbencher:
Other countries pay for subsides from taxes

Nigeria pays for subsides by paying from oil revenues that are never stable due to fluctuations in oil prices...meaning most of the time we have to take loans to keep heads above water.

At the end of the day, either we use taxes to pay for subsidy or we keep on relying on very unstable crude oil prices.

Dangote better not import fuel though, but that's irrelevant.

Are you saying Nigerians are not paying tax or what?

You are wickef

ab1x:
The question begging for answer is that does Osinbajo has polical structure?

The last time I checked, you can't win election without police structure in place.

What political structure made Jonathan president in 2011. Presidential election is different from every other election. It is solely determine by political elite and foreign interest. The populace are always there to queue behind anyone put forward. The president's decline to accent electoral bill pointing defect of section 87 is a pointer that the political elite are not ready to let go the power of chosing who they wanted.

They have said no to direct primary which could give the people power of choice. So having no structure has little or no role to play when it comes to chosing who becomes president of Nigeria

Frigga13:

Yoruba man article

A hundred Tinubu no fit defeat Atiku in an election
Atiku won last election .. no be noise .. but took it good because of United North

Atiku already have 13 million votes and how many votes did Tinubu and his Yoruba family gave to Buhari

Tinubu brought in money , private jets, Fulani and north brought in money too..

A kwankwazo will defeat Tinubu.. Elrufia will defeat Tinubu... a saraki will defeat Tinubu.. Obi might go toe to toe with Tinubu

Yoruba people and noise ...

Why Tinubu didn’t contest again Jonathan if he was that powerful.. why negotiating with Buhari.. Tinubu sucked on Buhari 12.5 million votes.. and still lost his dream of Vice.

Elections is all about voting .. Any party in government have the rigging machinery .. but atimes it over inec..

For all this Yoruba noise .. Tinubu Must contest. Tinubu is not Trump .. America is not Nigeria..

North are not slaves to yoruba people neither any tribe

Yoruba should look for a non tribalist .. like Obasanjo and Nigeria might consider the person

But a Tinubu.. Walai Tinubu will fine it difficult winning ya ya Bello..

If Yoruba want make them write article from now to Jerusalem ...

Fact
Nobody trust a Yoruba man in Nigeria and that’s the open secret .

Same reason why yoruba people have been in opposition since the days of Awolowo and will soon go back to opposition.. this time nobody will really take them serious .. Nigerians have seen them finish

From a tribalistic osibanjo to a greedy Tinubu

YORUBA PEOPLE MUST CONTEST..

Power returns North

Asgard, It's too early to change moniker, we are keenly following your rants and would be here to mock you when all your emotional rants fall on your face.

Nigerians have two problems. Politicians and China

NewsForYou:
I don’t understand these PDP. Instead make dem campaign lock up. Dem go still chip in Tinubu. I never hear SWAGA say something bad about other contestant. We know Atiku is corrupt, we know he might not even be a Nigerian but APC never say anything bad about him but them always find a way to add Tinubu to their own campaign is that how inferior they all are to Tinubu?

PDP is the worst political party in the whole universe. Imagine they failed to provide leadership when in power and still failing as opposition.

It is ironical to see that the only opposition we getting from this cruel government is coming from within the party while useless PDP is busy holding meeting in Dubai and visiting London to watch premier league at a time visionless APC is dishing out anti people's policy with impunity.

Is this how they intend to take over power come 2023 when it is clear that they are mentally lazy to play opposition but now resolves to blackmail contestants from other parties.

Reno should focus on how to sell his rotten product rather than poking his opolo eyes on others

If you like support Mungo Park it's non of my business

But wait, can someone explain this lie of Atiku employing 50,000 youth. Common, that is a reckless lie.

All your defense here are very weak, Oga Reno, working in the South or marrying a southerner doesn't make you a detribalised person. Just say you are voting your personal choice and you'll be fine.

Enough of selling Nigerians dummy every election year

AlexBells:
I'm going to stand in your face and tell you that he who laughs last laughs best, you want regional government pay the price, mess up and see the games in your face, you couldn't get secession clause under regional government, go get it now, you think the Igbos would be down forever but we rose from the ashes, and we would look you in the face and say bring the game on, Unitary system is here to stay otherwise let everyone go have their own country

What is regional government?

What is federalism?

What is unitary (system) government?

What is presidential system of government.?

What are the common features of regional and federal system?

What form of government is suitable for Nigeria?

What is fiscal responsibility?

What is resource control?

Under what condition will fiscal and resource control can be achieved?

Half baked education is worst than being illiterate.

I rest my case

The thief came to steal, to kill and to destroy

Quick check

President 1
VP. 1
Senators 109
HoR. 360
State governor
and Deputy 70
State legislators (average 30/state) 1050

Total 1591

Nigeria would spend 305b to elect 1050 people.

In short Nigeria would be spending average of 290million to elect each candidate

This is simply insane

Why are Igbo leaders lashing on Igbo for the past one month, there's been embarrassing statements coming from Igbo leaders.

Calling APGA kekenapep is demeaning of party formed by late Ojukwu.

budaatum:
I am not asking you to repeat the same thing, Sctests. I am actially asking that we be responsible for the state of our nation, which we so far haven't been, instead of irresponsibly blaming others.

Once we take responsibility for our madness we can start to cure ourselves of it.

What responsibility are you talking about.

Electricity- By myself
Water- By myself
Education- By myself
Health-By myself
Security-By myself

What more responsibility are you asking from the Nigerians when they practically provide everything without any input from the government. What is essence of paying tax when it's not going to be put in proper use for the benefit of the people?

How do a sane person be comfortable with the level of killings going on and government can't come up with any means to address them when everyone knows that state police would at least reduce this madness in this country.

Sorry, you appear to be very selfish and parochial based on your comments so far on this topic. You want us all to be a good person when there's no system or structure to guide us, nothing happens by chance

Are you conducting survey or what?
