People don turn social media to where dey come to get people emotion now nd dey will neva tell the full story...


Instead of doing the right thing follow the law of the land dey will be playing the victim card and try to also play Politics with it....

If dey try diz in UK, US, the West and dey giv dem ticket dey will goan pay in peace without coming online to cry buh once it happens in Nigeria is a sin cos dey want the country to keep running a lawless Lifestyle....

Modify....

I remember back in the days we use to du party on the main road until the Govt start coming to pack people with dere Jollof cooler den nd people will bail dem sef we all stop that habit in Lagos at first we feel like the Govt is treating us badly buh at the end of the day na we later benefits from it....

Cause most of the road you're blocking are alternative route people can easily use in other to beat some holdup...


How can you be doing party nd be using the road and putting canopy everywhere which sane clime go allow that kain rubbish....

Nigerians want good things but they don't wanna practice it... I am sure that same lady if she go to even ghana she will pay without complaining but once she gets to nigeria she will turn something else.. complaining about the same thing she is paying for in other country and she will be the first to say ghana is better than Nigeria...
We are the problem of this country because we don't want anything to work but fast to shout "in a sane climes" look at how they are complaining on this thread

So what's the difference?

LASG has started taxing vehicles parked outside perimeter fence. This means that, vehicles parked outside silverbird cinimas, small stores or houses without inner parking lots will be taxed.

Welcome to Tinubu's Lagos. Alpha Beta expanding the tax net the Tinubu way.

Edit: There are legal street parking even in the most advanced civilizations in the world. How's the Op-ed photo obstructing traffic in any way?

Alpha Beta ko ni pa wa oo

Illiteracy is your problem... First of all those places you showed paidbtax for that parking and that's why you see that those country always have a parking garage no matter how small their house is... Infact if you buy a car they will tax you monthly for the car depends on how big your car is this is even excluding insurances... Search on google yourself and there is something they call a meter each place you park you will pay into the meter which will be mornitor by police called the meter maid or maiden...
You just spew your ignorance everywhere... It's not a must to travel out before knowing things... Research first. Damn!

kerry57:
Nice one. Nigerians have good brain for great things our problem is bad leadership. Aside that who be america for where Nigeria for dey today? God bless Nigeria and terminate bad leadership from our land. Amen.

Our problem is not leadership but our mentality as citizens... The people we call leaders today were once a citizen even if their forefathers are into politics from onset I believe they were once kids and once citizen... The leaders are the extension of it's citizens... If you doubt me just try to get to know any civil servant starting fr there are you will know how corrupt most nigerian citizen are... We even have a quote that says where you work na there you go chop... And another is "RUNS" we give excuses that it's because the government are stealing so we must steal too... But if our father is a bad man to his children we always don't want to make the mistake of treating our own children like the father did...
You see the moment we change our narrative and mentality as citizen not for us only but for the coming generation the faster this nation will grow... It's just simple...
Look at this thread... Instead of people to still appreciate the fact we are building something ourselves... They still play the blame game...
The better we accept to create a working nation the more the country will grow...
People wonder why lagos is ahead every states... It's because each government that comes in continue where the other left and non has been happening in other states... That's is just an example... Mind you I am not trying to go through political party or candidate but stating a fact so you understand where I am driving at because if this coming election maybe obi, tinubu or atiku wins, some disgruntled people will still want to destroy things they did to present them as useless in the future election instead of support to build the nation and it will even make people know if the person is working or not and the circle continues...

Thanks so much I felt I over oppressed him so I felt bad about it had to delete my post to him..

Lol that's funny... That's a nice thing you do at least. You are welcome

Ancecoker:

So an educated person like you don't know the difference between a cigarette and weed mere looking at it... And you guys will be the first to insult Nigeria police when they call white colour black...
Now I understand why nigeria is still like this...
I am not saying anyone shouldn't support who ever they want to vote for but I just hate fake news or fake info... You guys might not know how toxic this is... Either apc, pdp, apga or any party anyone is supporting it's just very toxic.
I know you will continue what you believe you are doing but just want to state a fact

081087n:
.am deleting my post to you democracy is not supposed be do or die let the best candidate win sorry if I've got on your nerves don't mean to use any situation against you we are all products of Grace irrespective of where we find ourselves time and chance happened to us all

Dont let anyone bully you... Bully comes from you being better than another person who is jealous... Either you buy a phone of 10k or 1m is nobody's business and you may even be shocked the person cyber bullying you can't even afford that 50k monthly let alone buying a phone of 50k... Like 50k is 10 naira...
Abeg live your life and you are entitled to your life and opinion and if anyone can't air his or her own opinion without being a bully is just stupidity...
You are on point and you are better than that person...
A fact.

MacWin155:
Corruption present in every aspect of our society.

How can we fault government for being a bigger corruption-enabling entity??

God help us in this country.

Thank you and this is the just the pure truth... We said we want government to make Nigeria look like UK but we throw dirty on the ground without caring... We inflate price of things from greed and we blame government for the inflation and many other things... But the more we change mentally the more better we can hold government accountable...
Do you know NIN which is free are being sold hiddenly by civil servant... On the form it was written this form is not to be sold and when I said I won't pay a dime they told me I am not ready for the NIN... Imagine but yet we blame government...
We are the problem of this nation... When we get our selves in oder then we can talk about how disorder some other people are.
Truth is bitter

jchioma:
Seriously, people are really having a hard time in the country. How the poor Nigerians survive should be a case study. A case of suffering and smiling. In fact, I'm beginning to think that it's a deliberate policy of the Apc led govt with misplaced priorities.

We are all in Nigeria and we know the truth but will always shy away from truth... Things were never this cost but people's greed made it so... Imagine the phone I am using right now... Both with shipping and every other fees I got it at the rate or 42k but when I went to ikeja shops and slot to price it before buying on aliexpress it's... Ikeja price is 60k and slot price is 50,500 and mind you these shops will be buying in discount which will be cheaper than mine...
The thing is middle men and people selling things makes things this expensive...
We all know these but shy away from it...
People selling fishes, garri and so on will tell you it's dollar... How can dollar affect such things? Imagine a bus carrying people for 150 and once it start raining they increase it to 300... is that government too? We just have to give you an excuse to milk each other dry forgetting one who sells meat will always buy tomatoes , one who sell tomatoes will also buy beans, one who buys beans will always transport home and one who transport home will also buy food and the cycle continues everyone increases 400% and expecting to enjoy... you can't eat your cake and still have it...
Instead of we to blame ourselves we always wanna push this blame... Truth is we are greedy simple and all of use go chop the breakfast...
Self inflation is what we are facing... And it will never end unless we change our greedy mentality as people...
Truth is bitter

seunmsg:
Feel for their ignorance and manipulation by their parents. Using innocent kids for political gain is quite silly and condemnable. There is a reason why kids are not allowed to vote so using them for political clout in this manner is reprehensible.

Telling your kids to call candidates from other ethnic groups grandpas and beg them to step down for the candidate from their ethnic group at this their early age is simply teaching them political bigotry and discrimination based on age and ethnicity. Children should be protected from this kind of nonsense.

This is a new low for Peter Obi and his supporters. I’ve never seen this kind of desperation before in a Democratic contest. This is sad. Tueh!

You can even see some people on the forum saying good kids fighting for their future... We have lost it as citizen honestly and the bigotry is getting more real... I showed a friend about this and he said those might not be their parent and it must be they were on holiday with relatives... He said if they were his children he will never take it easy with the relatives...
I told him this is how bad the citizens have become that he shouldn't be surprised that their parents were behind the cameras there

Rikidony:
He's a Kenyan comedian, those meme where from one of his clips about a desert rally, he missed the route, although I check the guy out on Facebook he doesn't have lots of followers but he's trending well

Nope... Its a kenya baja racing and they were interviewing him about something but it's seems he said something funny and the interviewer was laughing... I don't understand their language but I can tell he said something funny... And again they came last in the baja caring tournament lol
I never knew this will trend lol hahaha

You have brought up Peter Obi yet again. What does it add to the discussion?!! If I want to talk about Obi I know where to go. Obi has nothing to do with the killing of Mr. Orube.

Another poster said nobody is exempt from traffic stops and you called him a liar. Let us even assume that you are right and that soldiers are exempt from traffic stops. The issue now is that those soldiers killed that man for stopping their vehicle. So what happens now?

I don't know why I bothered to reply you - your very first post on this thread shows your mindset. A man was killed by soldiers for no good reason and you went on and on about 'ambush' and 'PTE' (whatever the hell that means) and 'briefing' and whatnot?

Lets cut through the horse dung and get straight to business. A man was killed by soldiers for nothing. The police HQ and army HQ have wildly different accounts of what happened. So what happens now?

Nigerians deserve to know the truth. Whether they will get it is another matter.

Just like what I said in the context but if you don't understand then definitely you failed english...
It's just like saying the sun is smiling that doesn't mean the sun is actually smiling but it means the sub is hot...
See all I am saying is that we are in Nigeria where anyone is seen as an accomplice to whatever because people are f*cked up. What I said is... If the police sees a police van approaching will they stopped them from moving? I have seen many scene where police are passing and they stop the whole traffic for them but when it comes to Nigeria police feels since they are can tozzle power with the military... I am not saying what the officers of the army did was right by killing a man of the police force but I have seen enough to tell you the police deserves it... You will never see a police stop a police van that is not on important duty for other people but when it comes to the military they stopped them and to play the victim game after the ugly act they said they didn't know it was a military bus... Let me point this straight... I am not a police but when I see a military bus I know it's military but that doesn't tell you they are up for a power tozzle in a country like Nigeria? I am not and will never compare Nigeria with other countries because they have their way of doing doing things and we have our ways of doing things...
But if I were to be a police officer I would have given them the way to go cos no one will be dead brain not to know a military in hiace or coster bus means they are on official and they might see it as a sabotage to attack them or so... Why stop them in the first place...
We get too emotional in this country and emotion don't let someone reason straight...
It's wrong to kill but anger and power tozzle makes us do things that doesn't make sense but why not avoid that by doing what you think it right...
Police matter... Solider matter... Our opinion only ends with us here nairaland but the truth stands to be the truth...
If you are a security office in a place of work and you were to search every vehicle before going in... If your boss daughter or son came to see their dad in the company after they told you they are going in without search... Will you tell them to go back or rather call your cso and tell them about the incident to watch how it comes out without endangering your job or yourself in the process...
Mind you this happens everywhere in the world...
No one stops a military even happens in benghazi ... Us soldiers aren't stopped in the boarder let alone within their states for just mere traffic... That is where there job comes in advantage for them...
I am supporting no one but just stating the fact here...
About the obi thing if you don't get it just forget about it...

Fujiyama:

Even more rubbish. What does Peter Obi have to do with this?

If you want to troll, do it properly. What you have up there shows you were not paying attention in troll school.

What's my business with trolling? What will it earn me? It doesn't make anyone respect nor do I make impact on anyone...
You need to give me points just like I gave you point not just you saying rubbish without you giving any point to counter my claim and I will gladly tell you to verify my claims if they are true or not...
Why I said peter obi supporters is that they are fond of spreading propaganda... Is m not saying other parties are saints but you see peter obi supporters as too full of propaganda... So it shows from my previous post that it is a reference and a question... Get the context... I asked and your answer should be yes or no so I will know if I should reply you or not... But please check those point iland counter me with point if you see something wrong.. not just you saying rubbish or lies with no point to back your claims up
Thank you

God1000:
Maybe this is a splinter group.

This is hard to believe sha, there's probably internal wrangling within the group, or they are telling FG that they can't be held back by kanu's continue detention.

But as a dove, optimist and pacifist, I'm still hopeful that Nigeria will overcome her numerous challenges soon

It's time to bury all the hatches and be on the same wavelength, not at cross purposes.
This is why we need good leaders that will unite this country and treat everyone equally.

I pray and hope that we get it right next year, or the call for plebiscite will continue soaring.

The call for yoruba nation and Biafra Republic has to do with systemic injustice such as marginalisation and nepotism and above all is corruption and the total collapse of governance at all levels.

If the major Tribes in Nigeria are clamouring for referendum, then you can imagine what the minorities are going through including my igede tribe.

I will need to disagree with you... Based on fact... And here is why...
See in the government we have state government, local government, house of rep and so on designated for each states... The problem is that we the citizens hardly hold this political positions accountable for their failure... When we say side line of a rigion and so on... Have you ever seen either the local government complain or state gov or those house of rep complain... You no the only time they complain is if things didn't go the way they want the loot to go... But people are too blind to see this...
An example is this... I am parent with a child In a school... The government gave them free text book through the principal... The principal will have to share to the teacher and the teach will have a give to the student before the student can show their parent... But imagine the book was given and either the principal or the teacher never give it to the student and I saw in the new as a parent that books were given free to schools and mind you I saw other students from other schools having the free books... If I asked my child and he or she said no book was given to them in their school won't I say it's a lie government just purposely side lined my child school... But if I didn't go to the school and accuse the principal or teachers but jumped to criticized the government is that not a stupid move by me?
I am not in support of anyone but just stating a fact with my example so you will understand better what I meant... That's the situation on ground...
Another example was what happened in Edo ... They didn't pay them salaries and pensions... Instead of them to block the government office or house entrance.. they rather blocked the expressway and stop all travellers from moving... How will that move affect their government? But if they block the government office or house entrance that will force the government to pay attention and address them... Then to make the matter worse the community boys start exporting motorist...
We don't do things the right way in this country and we don't ask the right questions nor hold the right person responsible but we push blames... Had it been the fed government didn't pay them allocation with the necessary percentage for their natural resources then we can put blame on the feds but this states and local and house of rep and so on representing the state collected all this and didn't do anything and that's what makes them shut up ... It's just how they see us citizens that we are not serious nor ready to hold the sword...
This is what I have seen and know personally...
Thank you.

donaldking100:
You are probably a Christian youth, supporting a sick & dying man old enough to be your great-grandfather.
A man who undermined all the Christians in Nigeria by flying a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
A man who rented fake bishops to ridicule the Christian faith & announce his insensitive Muslim-Muslim ticket.
There is actually no moral justification for a young Christian youth to support Tinubu after he did all these.
But obviously one of the major characteristics of being an A.P.C supporter is myopism & stupidity, so i wouldn't be surprised that you as a Christian would support such a man who never had regards for you or your faith.
Nigeria would have been on fire by now if it were Peter Obi renting fake Imams.
They killed your fellow Christian sister just because of a whatsapp message, imagine how many churches would have been burnt by now if you faked being an Imam.

Hypocrite is what this country is built on... Tell me
You people supported christian and christian ticked which won osun but you guys said muslim and muslim ticket is bad... Is that not double standard and hypocrite?
Damn all of you are not different from the politicians... But later will keep blaming politicians...
Just a fact

SeunDAssLicker:
No matter who you are, you’re supposed to respect a traffic stop wether you’re the president.

The military does not have their own rules. They must abide by the same laws of the country.

You are a lier...
Show me or prove to me that their is no exception for military...
Let me even tell you if they are on official duty like they are in the costal it means official there is always an exception... People with exceptions are military, police, convoys with either military or para military escorting, ambulance and so on..
And it's so all over the world... I don't know where you get your own fact or point from and I will like to know so you can prove me wrong... You people don't research at all before uttering words. Are you peter obi family?

do4luv14:
I agreed with you, but the police are at Greater fault here, I had witnessed such stands off time and again, And as always it was started by the police and their overzealousness,

A lone soldier was on his way to work, and seems to be running late, a young guy at that,
now he board a bike as a fast means to get to work, police stop bike, ask soldier to dismount, ( no respect, ) and proceeded to seize the bike after pleading with the police to consider him, and return the bike keys, it falls on deft ears, and the police even insulted him,

That's when to soldier lost it, it took begging from the most senior police among them to calm him down,


those three officers are disrespectful, a coaster bus, containing soldiers cannot be stopped for such silly excuses, it's and insult, even after the soldiers came down, they should have at least allowed them to pass thru

You see this Nigeria will never be okay if we have citizen think like those people quoting you. They failed to see that you are on point... Where in the world would a military vehicle be stoped for mere traffic?
They can't be stopped for there might be an ambush. Secondly they may be on there way for briefing or submit. Depending on the situation... Being in costal bus it means they are on official duty... That says it all and now the police claim they don't know that bus is conveying soldiers... But is it's the bus conveying oyinbo they will quickly pass it?
Look at how people are defending nonesence... The police are very wrong and being a military... Most of them might be even PTE maybe just came back from warfare.
But the question to people quoting you is that if it were to be just police patrol van will those traffic police stop it for traffic?

Vickho:
Port bawo?
The East is landlocked

Yes the igbos are land lock... But that anambra port is for smaller kinda ferry not for big ship... It's like this... When you use truck to drop a huge container in lagos... Buses like hummer bus will take it to the east... The buses can't carry all but they can carry it in pieces like little by little...
I hope you understand my illustration...
So it's a port but for very small loads cos ships don't sail through river but ferry can...

Seniorwriter:
This is a rare kind of accident...maybe due to highness or faulty vehicle.


@Seniorwriter

Not faulty bus but recklessness... Even if it's a faulty bus... Maybe breaks the bus should have given signs and the driver should have reported at the office or terminal and they will get it done... But I don't care attitude of Nigerians or let's manage it attitude leads to this and that boils down to recklessness

ImmaculateJOE:
I'm currently in Rivers state. The indigent are using their money to campaign for LP, printing banners and sticker.. Posters will flood the street once campaign starts proper.

Even known PDP members are working for Obi, although this is just for the presidential election.

So I can't argue for other SS states, but you see Rivers state..? Obi will carry the day..

You lied about this... I stayed at ada gorge close to chinda... What part do you stay? The only place I saw obi poster was the town hall close to big tree and the following day the community boys tell them to remove everything... Go to that exact place and confirm yourself... You are delusional with this lies... This is what I hate about your kind of people... You use lies to say things and it will take you no where...
When you lied about this, then how do I know you are truthful about your candidate archivements and intentions for Nigeria. You can go there to confirm and let me tell you something... Ikwere people who are the dominating tribe in rivers don't like igbos... They said they are deceptive... Act like a calabar man or other tribe and ask any ikwere guy about igbos he will tell you the same or rather try calling an ikwere guy an igbo man and see what happens... Please verify this first unless you want to argue blindly

Halo22:
What is really happening in this God damn country?

In the East... Corrected because if it's bandit and boko haram... We will say in the north so point corrected. In the East not in this country

989900:
Here is the truth, it's shady and childish to be holding a random Twitter account accountable as your go to source for what a presidential aspirant did/didn't.

What are the names of hospitals because... When I did my research the fact check was right... The award was in south east state not the whole nigeria but the obi handle didn't say in south east... He states it like it's in the whole nigeria... The fact checks are 98 right... For every fact checked I do my personal research and they are right even on atiku and on tinubu but why is obi supporters against it now? It's different when it comes to checking his (obi) facts on fact check?

mustbewell:
Give Akwaibon state the license to do that too and reduce gridlock in apapa

The money GEJ gave their governor for the port dreging where is it... Why blame the FG instead of blaming the state government...

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I have a friend currently serving in a Federal Ministry in Abuja.

She goes whenever she likes. They do nothing in her department. Some days, they share money sef.

She can video call me for 3 hours at work. That's how jobless they are there.

I can tolerate a case for jobs outside the civil service. Most of them are paid to do nothing[/color]

But yet they will be the first to shout they are collect small money lol and the small money might be 70k per month... Just like secondary school teachers... When I was in school they even sell handbook they are suppose to give us free and say we should tell the people who came to check that it was free... Besides they come to teach anytime they like... Some won't even come at all like our literature teacher... But yet they will shout our money is small without doing anything...

cococandy:
one time I started a new job and my IT clearance didn’t work properly so I couldn’t clock in my hours electronically. Per protocol, I used a paper time sheet to log my time pending my IT clearance and somehow someone in the payroll missed my time sheet so I didn’t get paid for two weeks.
OMG.

The director called to apologize. The union president called to apologize. The CNO called to apologize. Emails and emails to follow up to make sure they didn’t miss it during the next pay period.
Tell me why I won’t be motivated to go to work?

Our employers need to really adopt the practice of making sure they take the employees time seriously. This hourly pay thing might be the solution if enough people get on board.

Obviously state government won’t get on board because they are the professionals at owing civil servants for 6 months. Useless governors

Exactly what I love to hear from people... If your street roads aren't done... Blame the local government not the state... If civil servants are being owed or state express way aren't being done... Blame the state government not the federal and if federal things aren't done like interstate roads and other stuff being handle by fed lest blame the feds not the state or local government or state... But these knowledge are lacking in this country many people claim to be educated but they know nothing.
They blame federal government for a state being backward then what's the work of the state government and the allocations being paid and all... We wallow in IGNORANCE in this country...
Back to the hourly paid ... It can't work in this country because most nigerians are thief... They know this but won't tell the truth and in some company or factory like oksweets now owned by plan ...they wanted to adopt this or were doing it before but a Nigerian at the top or supervisor will change the manager's mind and trade everyone growth for his or her own personal banafit like promotion and all...company want more money and pay less so it's easier for them to stick with the monthly so they can milk people energy for lesser pay...
Imagine when buhari first came in as president he started a motion which will pay unemployed people 5000k per month but the senate said no because it will affect their pay one way or the other instead they did npower... So my point is nigerians will still sabotage a good thing or idea no matter what in which we all know... So this can't work
This is what I know...

Utanisco:
Nonsense

Ghana
Tanzania
Uganda
Togo

Are the most foolish country with foolishity in Christianity

They shud ban all their pastors

Unam ikot

1 ghana
2 Nigeria
3. South africa
4. Tanzania
5. Uganda
6. Other african countries

Both Muslims and Christians... When you see them droll on the sheus and pastors you will begin to wonder.. especially in Nigeria... I kept wondering what religion has done for us african to improve us but the answer is nothing... So why keep doing something that never improve us? That's our number one problem... We rather pray in the church or mosque to help the african continent rather than find a solution... Just like someone said prayer is the key... Instead os solution and enlightenment is the key...

NigeriaIsGreat:
Mumu

Illusion of the century

You see one thing about this country is that if people are still bias by religion of tribe we are in big trouble...
Imagine when the thing plays out as some people wants... I didn't hear them saying they register people from niger or they registered chad or cow...
This is why I am never gonna vote because everyone is stupid in this country and they are ready to soil the country as much as it plays to what they want...
We are bad as citizen and we will never have a good leader no matter what unless the citizen change... Funny thing is the people which they claim are playing tribe game are the most peaceful when you respect them you will see the good side of them... And they are the hausas the rest of the tribe are practical double standard bastard tribes... I have stayed with most tribe in Nigeria except few minorities and the most tribal bigot goes to igbo people just the truth! They injured me in anambra cos I said what has peter obi done to warrant president and the picture is still on my phone.. I have never encountered that with hausa when I asked same about atiku or in lagos when I asked same about tinubu just to hear people opinion in person...
Damn

Jennyclay:
That's what you expect from someone who is jobless.

One thing you should also understand is that we women are the oxygen men breathe in everyday. Men just can't breath without women else they will die

So just allow him to keep ranting.

I didn't see it as rant rather I see it as truth that can't be explained... I have seen many girls ends up with such... Even there was a friend of mine who actually told his girlfriend that he has side chicks but let's see how it goes between us and the girl agreed funny the was the one even calling more and so on... I was like is this girl foolish or what? Where is the respect but she likes or love him so who am I to say something else.
Monday or not any day is just a day... Maybe the OP met an old flame or a girl that he respected a lot to be smart but ends up with a kinda shallow guy... It's worth the surprise.
The problem we have is that we don't want to accept anything truth rather find an excuse to lace it off.
Simple

zzxxbbaa:
I was just going to scroll past after acknowledging your points which are valid, but not all. If you do play monopoly, you'd know why Tinubu could achieve so much in his time as gov. Do you know what it means for Nigeria to have just one functional sea port, Lagos has and always will be the capital of Nigeria for me, Abuja is jus their relaxation spot away from the hustle and bustle. So I need not remind you that virtually any sane person who wants to work and had the opportunity to govern lagos in that era would have done nothing less than what Tinubu achieved, or even much more, so please understand that if all sea ports in the country were operational, I can most certainly guarantee you wouldn't be a resident of lagos and the population would be way much less.

It's a lie. Let's be frank. It seems you haven't been to any ports before but to prove me wrong just visit most ports and you will see they are work but ships coming in do come to lagos because of pirates... Security and other states don't give a hoot to spend on their ports. Please the fact is there for you to see yourself try visit them like going for a tour out of your spare time... What I don't understand about this country is people are very close minded and rely on lies being told by other people... I learnt hard way from that... Everything I see... I do research not on blogs but credible sources and if it takes me to go there in person I do go there...
I don't vote nor collect any pvc but I will debunk that lie people do say about lagos... Lagos wasn't even generating much before tinubu came... He generated so much that he never owed any civil servant a penny and despite obasanjo didn't give him allocation he did it without that... But mind you most of the states collecting allocations owe their civil servant... Please do research on this...
I am not telling anyone to vote anyone but it disgust me when people lie to defame someone or to make point...
The oil you said FG hijacked, did each states not being paid from the proceeds? What did they use the money for? Delta, ondo, Edo, bayelsa and so on...only lagos is still making good use of the proceed from oil they get in lagos... Funny most people doesn't even know lagos has oil... well port harcourt is trying but rivers as the state is junk...
Now tell me what did they use the money for? And mind you the money even narrow down to chiefs ... You will never see a title chief that is poor in this regions I mentioned... They all swallow it like a snake... Nollywood even did a movie concerning this and yet everyone never question their chiefs, to LG to state governors but everyone always shout FG.
They said only a wise worrior can make rusted iron into an expensive weapon. Which means if they are actually working... No matter how little they collect from proceeds it should be used and see in their state. Simple

SIMONEKPA7:
Tubaba has a point though .
Imagine you are from Abia, Benue,Kogi,Imo,Nasarawa,Niger,Zamfara and you are blaming Buhari for bad governance.
Buhari blame na insecurity and part of economy

Exactly... And that insecurity aspect I don't blame him completely cos there is a saying that a theif can't come to rob you without information from within... No matter the insecurity going on, people which are the citizen are part of the insecurity but cry when the shit hit the fan... Boko haram and ipob is an example.
But why I blame buhari is that he should find a way to curb it... But another way I look at it is that... If enemy as friend are close it will be hard to know where attack is coming from.

Ojuntana:
How do you mean that governors and reps are supposed to do more than the President. How is that possible in our laws and environment?

You seem to enjoy being the devil's advocate

Mr man he is right... It seems you don't know the work of these people...
House of rep are our representative...
The House of Representatives has two main duties: making laws and scrutinising the work of the Government. The main task of the Senate is considering bills approved by the House of Representatives. The Senate makes only limited use of its right to scrutinize the work of the Government. Both chambers together constitute the States-General (the Parliament). The Government is obliged to provide both chambers with the necessary information, so as to enable Parliament to scrutinise the work of the Government properly. This obligation is laid down in the Constitution.

A senator takes part in meetings and congresses, debates over the creation or update of laws and regulations and votes for or against certain political measures or motions

So what are you saying?

ogascomax:
People need to realized that governance start from the head to the list. If a fish wants to go bad it starts from the head. If the president is well doing it will flow to the list organ of government. That is while it is called leadership, in leadership the person at the front of affairs cannot be doing well or moving on a particular direction and the rest moving towards another direction. It's not possible order wise you flush the bad once away.

Definitely you failed government education in school...
Government starts from the root to the top... Which is from the people to the president and the link is local government, house of rep that represents the people like voice of the people to the president and the state government.
If you have a company, you will have a manager, the manager, supervisor, HR and all... If these people are not working well, you won't get the full gist of how your company or people working as staff are faring...
So it's so simple. And the government work in a stage whereby if you want to do anything especially monetary, there will be a vote before approving it... So what are we saying? We have every party and every tribe in the senate and house of rep. What is their job?
But we love pushing blames
We are so ignorant in the country... We want a good country but we ourself don't want to change as citizen but wallow in ignorance
