In a Federal system, the President does not have to set examples.

In the U.S, there are quite a number of states that are more fotward-looking on a number of issues than the U.S Federal government.

These governors need more scrutiny in their activities but sadly tribal bigotry often prevents us from scrutinizing them as well as we should; as the governors of the respective states are almost always of the same tribe with the people they govern.

I still agree with you, but using American as an example maybe way too much, tribal bigotry, ethnic sentiment and religious differences is our major problem, the leaders uses this factors to their own advantage against us. Poverty and hunger is also our problem, it will be difficult for a poor man to think right, if u will agree with me 4get America ,what we need in Nigeria is a president that is willing to make huge sacrifice and 4get how things were done wrongly before, chart a new cause believe me others will follow, Nigeria is very easy to lead ,because the followers are ready to follow, what we have here is leaders who are not willing to make any sacrifice,self acclaimed MR INTEGRITY inclusive.

Yeye dey smell. Governance is a joke in Nigeria so anything goes. What impact will these 60 new SA's make in less than 3 months? Never mind they will still go home with a good pay for doing God knows what.
The president always gets the bulk of the blame but these clowns occupying government houses all over the country are also major contributors to the lack of development in the country.

I agree with you to an extent, the president supposed to lead by example others will follow, but what do we have a president who set more confusion than those following.

osuagwumike:
PDP were you better during your reign?

so we should continue like that?when this one's came under the gues of fighting corruption,so pdp should criticise them again?they came to through constant criticism of pdp government. Most of u on this forum when u have anything to comment about is better to keep quiet rather than writing nonsense.

Another corrupt committee have been established watch how they will directe beneficiaries of all the properties recovered Nigeria my country.

U are looking for who is making hate speech when u have ango abudulih on ur side.

Plead:
If you don’t pay tax how do you expect them to fix the roads

what have they done with the money they got through oil and other natural resources?stop supporting nonsense just because want to support, Nigeria people pay tax in different forms, we build our own houses ,maintain our street's road,provide our own electricity, what other tax do u want the people to pay?what sacrifice,her has Buhari made for this country?he collect salaries and allowances his children attend the best schools and get the best medical attention.has Buhari ever in his life pay toll levi before?

Is no longer news that the eastern region has been cut off from the rest of the country when it comes to federal presence, u don't want to distribute resources equitably, but want to hold them down in the name of one Nigeria, let see how we are going to develop as a country like this. The igbos are the only reason y we still shout one Nigeria, no region will tolerate what the igbos are tolerating in Nigeria.

Efcc should go after politicians pls they are the one messing our common wealth.

muftee1028:
it's not an old picture, I was even included,

ok oooo u try.

Looks more like an old picture.

The high cost of innosson vehicles is my headech,this suppose to be a made in Nigeria vehicle, y is the price competing with the foreign ones?

This guy is an example of senators misusing their consistuency allowance for their own selfish gains.

Who are this fools talking to?maybe they can tell the illiterate ones among them that the joke called budget which 48b,54b,was appropriated for education and health respectively was meant to address critical areas of the economy,which country can develope without pariotisiny education and health?where did the budget address the issue of unemployment?budget that more than 75%is made up concurrent expenditure, paying salaries and wages, more than 20% is debt servicing, 25%for national assembly salaries and wages, were did the budget address capital projects that will boost employment?self acclaimed Mr integrity was expected to tell us how the government intends to reduce costs of governance but he did not do that, he was busy deceiving himself for having cold because of hard work, for ike ekweremadu everyone can see that those who tortured him in Germany did not make any mistakes .

For fayemi mind is only national assembly that is our problem ,even governors with their irrelevant special advicers we really need to cut down on cost of governance from the executive down to governors,I wonder y the self acclaimed Mr integrity is not saying anything on cutting down cost of governance

muzically:
There should be a law to compel politicians to fulfill their campaign promises or face jail term

u are not serious, who will enact the law?talk of implementation, relaxed with ur android phone and be waiting for when corrupt politicians will enact law u will use to prosecute them u go wait tire,sowore dey prison for fighting a just curse how much support have we the youth shown him ?

Commentor:
Bold is not true.

If you wish to tow that path please cite examples of borrowing for consumption.

can u cite one example of what this administration has been able to achieve with the huge sum they have borrowed over time ?be sincere don't speak politics pls I am not a political supporter ,we need to cut the cost of governance, it will shock you that a man who called himself Mr integrity has not said anything about cutting down on cost of governance, don't tell me about national assembly we already know that they are corrupt, look at the amount budgeted for education and health it will tell much about this government, u budgeted over 123b for ,over 148b for housing, when was the last time you heard about federal housing estate in Nigeria?let me leave with this few points, believe me most of us can do better than this government.

Insult abaribe for all I care ,he is very much on point, is a pity that the government hate truth and those supporting them don't like hearing the truth, enough said about corruption, what is Buhari economic policy nothing but taxation, is a pity that at this point a man who has branded himself Mr integrity has not said anything about cutting the cost of governance all I keep hearing from him is taxation, is has really said much about who he really is.

PoliticalWitch:
Note for the senator

1.Oil is at $59 dollars per barrel today

2.We need oil to be at $140 per barrel before we can reduce taxes, and stop borrowing.(For the uninformed, see this article HERE)

3.Bubu is bad , I know....but the truth is, since he took office , oil has hovered between $75 and $30 per barrel. So borrowing has been in order to prevent total collapse.

4.Also, we have no choice in this country but to raise taxes. Simple.

5.I want APC out too. But whoever takes over is going to meet the same set of problems. The problem of getting money.

6. So, let's face the cold reality. Sorry APC has not been good at diversification like they promised.

Modified;

For anyone still reading....this is the oil breakeven price for several countries as at 2017. Note that Nigeria is in the same boat with a lot of other countries...

Nigeria $139,
Bahrain $84,
Angola $82,
Oman at $75.
Saudi Arabia $74,
Russia $72,
Kazakhstan $71
Gabon $66;
Azerbaijan $66,
Iraq $61
Abu Dhabi,United Arab Emirates $60
BRENT CRUDE OIL PRICE AS AT TODAY: $58
Republic of Congo at $52
Qatar at $51
Kuwait at $45

Buhari and his economic team lack good economic policy direction , we are using 20% of our total budget to service loan borrowed by this same administration's, at this point what we need is sale some of government assets to fund budget not borrowing, cut the cost of governance, embark on more capital investment that will in turn boost productivity, what do Buhari government do borrow for consumption and turn back to blame the previous government for corruption.

jahsharon:
Mind your business. Mind Biafra business, leave Nigerians to mind Nigeria's business. Me have an Economic Team consisting of Nigeria's best hands, if they cannot do it, then it can never be done.

this is the only thing ur low IQ could comprehend?what is the difference between u and the amajiris on street? Parents will borrowing money to send some people to school, without knowing is better to send them to mechanic workshop were they thoroughly belong everybody must not go to school.

This is the most useless governor ,in his second tenure he is telling us about pot holes what did he do in his first tenure?ngwa people want their biological son to be governor not minding if he have leadership quality or not ,the same people who foster ikpeazu on us,will be the first people who will blame the fulani people for supporting Buhari.

Is like their was sincere protest against ikpeazu leadership by ABA women ,that is u are getting counter protests from obviously paid agents.i smear rejection from the people of abia state. If he is doing well y border yourself protesting in support just seet ur ass in ur various homes and enjoy his good leadership.

And the foolish people ruling the affairs of this nation are looking people making hate speech online, when people like this idiot that suppose to be handed over to the police is been ignored, u called yourself an elder statesman and the only thing that spews out of ur gutter called mouth is hate against a tribe and those in power said they are looking for people making hate speech.

[quote author=Asnafsaeed post=82957664]Sharap!! What will u di if ur not handed the presidency, attack the north!?

U guys only know how to make noise, wail and chestbeat... I have never seen cowards like the SE, even the SS more political value than una!

You guys think I can threaten the north! How I wish 2023 could be tomorrow so we could see what u guys will do, even tho we know is the usual wailing and chest-beating to the media

You can continue ur useless protest of "no erection no leferendum", that one is within ur right .. but if u try any nonsense, we shall annihilate the ibos like we did in 1967[/quote mods attention pls tribal bashing and derailing the trade.

isthatso:
I wouldn't vote for him and I am yoruba

my brother no sensible person will support tinubu for leadership, is because tribalism rain supreme in Nigeria, sincerely speaking do tinubu have the interests of yoruba people at heart rather than his personal interests?

festacman:
Who is Yerima Shettima? He has less than zero electoral value. Nobody is sure if he has PVC. Dude making noise to attract largese from Jagaban. He took money from Atiku and supported him against Bubu to no avail.

when has people with PVC decide who becomes nigerian president?the most confused people on this forum is the unreasonable ones still supporting this government.

Can someone tell this tyrant to continue his misrule nobody is watching him, we all have resigned our faith till after 3years .

That is the difference between pdp and apc, the idiot called Dickson who refused to give the people good leadership want foster another idiot to replace himself against the people wish ,I think I agree with the people of Bayelsa, to heal with party development is what the people need, same thing is happening in Kogi,where tinubu is supporting yaya Bello who has been a monumental failure to the people and to think that some people is still supporting tinubu is beyond me.

Trouble in the enemies camp.

They have conceded defeat before the election even begins!

An ineffectual buffon (according to TIME magazine) that cannot control his state want to rule, loot and squandered Nigeria economy for another 4 years.
Thank God sane Nigerians pursued him out.

The beginning of the end for the party of looters and criminals.

PDP in Nigeria again?!

lefulefu:

I agree with you is just that so many things has gone wrong in this country are not used to seeing this so called celebrities react .
They react when it has to do with rape and sex abuse, I am not in any way supporting rape, a lot of things are going wrong in this nation.

lefulefu:

I give it to u for been awake up to dis moment, u no dey sleep?brother how I wish u will understand how I mean, this celebrities careless about us abeg, dakolo wife is a clear example, how all of them became chemical reactions but lost their voices on the issue of sowore. Is only pressure from the masses that can make the government to change their evil policies,

The news is going to take the whole of this month, sowore is still in captivity have not heard any of them react ooo,Nigeria celebrities have a way of paroticing issues that are less important and leave main issues that have national important unattended to .
