That is more than a whole year without taking any questions from the citizens he is “leading”, via the press.

That is like a teacher that has never seen the kids being taught.

That’s like a coach hiding away from the players and never interacting with th.


Yet, APC folks are confident he would win in 2027.

Is this how they want a President to be? One that will hide away from the people for 4 whole years?

Even non democratic countries like China and Russia have their leaders answer key questions from the press, talk less about democracies like America, where their leaders are hounded by the press and dare not escape them like in Nigeria.


Buhari started this disappearing act with Femi Adesina encouraging it by telling us “it’s not Buharis style to talk to the people that elected him”


GEJ held so many pressers and was always abused, but he held them, he kept the people informed, he answered their queries, carried the people along.

APC presidents, Buhari and Tinubu, really have/had no business being presidents and being called “leaders”

helinues:
Those who can't stand the kitchen heat should gerrah from there.

Why should there be any foul crying just because the table turned around?

Thread has ONLY 300 VIEWS, YET HELINUES HAS 23 FAKE LIKES


See ratio na, even front page topics no get the same kind like ratio, but on back page, 23 "People" don already like helinues

Chai, hard work at 2:00a.m oooo

Danisaint112:
Normally everyone here knows you are a wicked soul. Even if you haven't killed anyone I am convinced that you can kill, you haven't yet been handed a gun or given the means to do so.

You type will kill to save APC from shame & disgrace.
The thing is, I'm even more worried about the buffoons that always "like" your hateful rhetorics. Mark my words one day you will meet your Waterloo for choosing to side with evil.

Who are the people that you are worried about for liking his posts?

Don't you know that dude has like 50 accounts?

You think it's strange, but if NAIRALAND is your job from 4:00a.m to about 11:00 p.m, don't you think you think you would also get multiple accounts?

The goal of APC has always been to sway public opinion to distract from facts, so an old site like nairaland is easy for them to hijack and fake like themselves. I think they've noticed that nairaland is easier than twitter to form accounts and fake like themselves.

Twitter pays real money, so if users do that, they could only get away with it for so long before admin or devs catch on.

Nigerians make me laugh sometimes.

See OPEN GUTTERS on almost every street in front of million-dollar homes in lekki/V.I, filled with poo, pee, algae, larva, trash, vomit, mud... yet those homeowners pay "TAX" to government.

Do you guys understand just how intricate a refinery is? Do you know the size of some of the equipment? Like the Separators, Towers..?

Do you understand the lead time involved in getting a replacement equipment for instance, or do you think it's like buying from jumia or aliexpress with few weeks delay?


You really, really expect that your leaders that can't even cover open gutters and put filters, would somehow be able to deliver a project as complex as a refinery?

The private sector in Nigeria, is what keeps Nigeria going, even when Nigeria is limping.

Your Government across board has never cared about you, but, sadly, some Nigerians would rather attack their brothers who do care about them, to defend Politicians that already thought they were dead.

Quest7777:
It's beyond that.
Even if GEJ had behaved like and done exactly what Buhari or Tinubu has done, he would have faced same fate. Infact worse fate. 🤔

You do have a point here, as I believe you're saying tribe would still have come into play. I do however believe that a leader with the mentality of stonewalling the people, would also have a mentality of holding on to power at all costs, so GEJ would have banned things like protests, to make sure the voices of the people were silenced.

We all know that this wasn't the case as under GEJ, the country witnessed some of its greatest protests with no threat to the protesters.

It's still perplexing to me to be rating GEJ so highly now, even though at the time, I perceived him to be just average or slightly below average.

I remember then, wishing for a president better than GEJ, but when APC brought out Buhari I almost vomited and ran to GEJ as though he was a shade under a tumultuous storm. How a country would ever consider a coup plotting dictator, with little to no education, as a democratic leader still befuddles me till today.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Don't mind them

They carry their behaviour and characters of their trib to the national federal level of the government and start doing rubbish forgetting that this is a democracy.

That's exactly how their traditional rulers treat their subject in these mentioned presidents region. So these charlatans believe that's how the entire country must be treated or governed.

You see, these guys are nothing but ethnocentric and tribal/religious supremacist.

My broda the reason why it also seems this way, is because these arrogant presidents that are too big to regularly address the public and the people are hailing and praising them is because both of them are from majority trib

Hence this is also the very reason why "Nigerians" have refused to come out to protest in spite of the most excruciating hardship caused by terrible policies ever witnessed since independence.

If it was during GEJ tenure who was a minority, there would have been widespread serious priests. But alas ...

Looking at performance, these two president that followed after him, have obviously performed very badly after all the mouthing and criticisms they made

What a shame

Don't wanna be a tribalist, but no doubt, if Obi was President now as you said, the whole country would probably be on fire, literally, like tires on fire on streets in different states across the nation.

Atuero:
Do the ones you can while prioritizing them according to the economic viability not for political correctness

We are just so so wicked to ourselves as black people.

Trust me if the man cared, he could even do sand leveling on the roads not ready for construction due to budget constraints.

Let there be a traffic light that isn't working on a typical Nigerian road and say that non-working traffic light has been causing uncountable accidents.

Give a typical Nigerian politician 1 billion dollars and 1 year to fix the light and at the end of the year, he will present the STILL NON-FUNCTIONING light, telling his people to be "be patient", that "these things take time"


THEY JUST DON'T CARE AT ALL, LIKE NOT EVEN AN IOTA OF CARE DO THEY POSSESS. IT'S SCARY TO THINGK ABOUT, BUT THEY JUST DON'T CARE AT ALL AND IT'S SCARY TO REALLY SIT AND CONSIDER THIS BITTER TRUTH. THEY DO NOOOOT CARE ABOUT ANY MASSES SUFFERING. DIE, DON'T DIE, THEY JUST DON'T CARE

Citizens need to start throwing petrol bombs at CORRUPT POLITICIANS when they see them in their LUXURY convoys

That's Nigeria for you

Goverment does nothing and blames predecessor.

How many time since I was a child to now an adult have I read/heard Nigerian politicians saying to be "Patient, the rot is deep"?

So no one was ever working ba? Every new governor/president talks like they just started ruling an abandoned plantation or something, or rebuilding a war torn area

Ask this guy to pay a web developer 100k to list all the roads he is currently working on, the budgets, project timelines...


See how he will go mute, mtcheew

I remember when GEJ used to come out to interact with the public via the press

I remember when GEJ used to visit sites to console with the victims of terrorism.

I remember when GEJs wife was shedding tears that schoolgirls were kidnapped and Nigerians mocked her saying "There is God oooo"

...

Buhari and Tinubu came and only "talk"(dictate) to the masses on special occasions like Newyear and Independence day, while Nigerians hailed them, saying they are too big to come out and interact with the LOWLY masses.

Femi Adesina, even went as far as saying that TALKING TO THE PUBLIC is NOT BUHARIS STYLE and Nigerians clapped, saying in essence, that they were not worthy to even be thought about by their own president (incredible).

Closed Gutters would OFFER SUCH A HUGE BOOST to tourism in Nigeria

Not too many foreigners want to spend their hard-earned money to go on vacation to places with poo smelling open gutters.

Imagine taking a stroll after buying Suya from a Nigerian restaurant, munching on the suya, then you look down by mistake and see a green bubbly concoction of filth that seems to be alive and breathing, while oozing a unique and pungent odor.

Not too many foreigners that only get a week vacation will want to experience that, except the hardcore adventurers, the rest would rather go to an African Safari, or Maimi or wherever.

Sanwolu and other Nigerians will visit U.K, Germany, France... and NEVER WILL THEY SEE OPEN GUTTERS.

The same exposed Sanwolu will apologize to Lagosians for floods in Lagos with OPEN GUTTERS that litter almost every street, while blaming Nature.

Ask Sanwolu to show you OPEN GUTTER like this in the U.K

Our leaders must really hate and underate us in Nigeria, because all the money they are spending on SUV this and that can be paid to a contractor that would work on closing gutters and providing them with filters.

We Nigerians must never see OPEN GUTTERS as a normal way of life, please. Let us pass down to our children, beautiful streets that aren't prone to flooding at the slightest of rains, and that aren't exposing people to unnecessary health hazards.

A quote from the Lagos government apology thread by a nairalander

axglide:
Firstly let the populace stop pouring trash in the gutters when it rains...

This is the typical response from an average Nigerian that sees absolutely nothing wrong with open gutters.

We need to evolve as a people beyond this savage level of thinking OPEN GUTTERs in a society are okay.

Mr Axglide, please note that you can never fully police everyone that litters in a society, even in advanced countries, well may China with their AI face tracking and cameras everywhere, but in general you aren't going to catch all the people that litter.

The difference between a modern society and an archaic one it that, when you cover gutters and put filters on them, the litter would not get into the drainage system.

Now Lagos State government has blamed it on Nature

https://www.nairaland.com/8145347/lasg-apologises-residents-severe-flooding

Yet they will leave OPEN GUTTERS on every street

Imagine your bathroom sink had no strain filter and the drainhole got widened by 500%

Don't you think, even by mistake, things would fall into that hole?

Like your toothbrush, toothpaste, gunk... and clog the exit water pipe?

See how your sinks don't get clogged because of a tiny hole and strain filter that prevent solid objects from entering and clogging the drain pipe.


WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO COMPREHEND FOR NIGERIANS?

Instead, you want to start demolishing every home you can find, chai

See what an African man in Lagos Nigeria calls "DRAINAGE"

Then when one small rain falls, they start getting confused on why there is flooding.

babasolution:
It's because Nigeria is filled with Igbo,Hausa and Yoruba people, when you have such people as a majority in any country that country will be shit

Honestly it seems all tribes, all Nigerians have a long way to go.

I just don't understand how a lot of Nigerians, Lagosians especially can't understand that with drainages like these, there will be flood.

They leave easy solutions, like clearing and covering gutters and providing gutter filters, and go straight to "lets demolish homes"

Exousiang01:
CIS in Lekki has become a nightmare.
My kids attended school only monday, tuesday and friday last week. The school just sent a notification on their app saying SUVs have to use the main gate and saloon/sedans go through the Amore road entrance.
Unfortunately the flood is more as a result of climate change and Lagos is sitting on the coast.
Its only going to get worse.
Spending millions on school fee yet the flood wont let them into school.
Moving them back to the UK is might just be best for them now.
Cant be getting calls everyday about flood.
I no wan hear say shit happen

Climate Change ba? Not OPEN GUTTERs on EVERY LAGOS STREET?

But why do Nigerians love living in denial?

See what drainage in Lagos looks like, and you think the smallest of rains won't cause flood?

Imagine if you had storms like America? Hurricanes, Tornadoes... Won't Lagos be buried?

Common sense is indeed not common in Nigeria.

Cause how are Nigerians cheering on destruction of other Nigerias homes, because of tribe, yet neglecting OPEN GUTTERs

Like Job in the bible, I know, I pray, I plead to, my God, that those that lost homes due to wickedness of citizens and government, get multiple of what they had, for God will wipe away your tears, while the wicked continue to groan.

Sad that Nigeria is home to some of the most wicked humans ever

nedekid:
I wonder why some people like to cause trouble unnecessary. Making problems for those that their generations were born and grew up with folks down south west in peace and brotherhood, where as kids you did not know you originated from different parts of the country.
From my observations, it is recent migrants, same that a majority have caused problems for the green passport all over the world.
Careless statemts from their mouths has caused apprehensions from places we have lived and thrived in peace for years. The cumulation is what we saw in the last elections.
Why will this fellow antagonist the commissioner? Why for goodness sake? Are houses built on drainages not to be removed for public good?
Anyway the result of such careless talk will ensure the renewed vigor, more building will go, the difference this time is there will be no human face to it, no sympathy or consideration.

See how una dey build drainage without building on it. You no fit solve that one, na to go destroy peoples house ba?

Why una dey so wicked for Nigeria? Just yesterday, Agbero dey charge the fellow citizens 100 naira to cross flood, when in white man land, they will band together and solve the problem for all.

But na only to destroy destroy destroy, dey una mind.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

ElohimShenRa:
Na so!

Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, please concentrate on the following areas:

1.) Amuwo Odofin / Festac / Ajegunle

2.) Ago Palace / Okota

3.) Ajao Estate

4.) Egbeda / Igando

5.) Omole Phase 1 - Ojodu

These areas are where the criminals, kidnappers, armed-robbers, terrorists & Cocaine-Traffickers who have infiltrated our land and now plotting to hijack it from us like they did in Portharcourt are clustered.

Then after some weeks, you can now beam your searchlight on Aspamda, Ladipo, Computer Village and Alaba Markets.

I did not mention anybody’s tribe or ethnicity, therefore any riff-raff that quotes me to type rubbish.

As you’re killing & obliterating them in the land of my fathers which they have tagged “No Man’s Land” ; so also must you extirpate their progenitors in their villages - where they’re drinking their adulterated palm wine and beating their hairy-gorilla-chests!

Ase!

May God forgive you for such deep wickedness in your heart.


You want to demolish houses and leave Lagos drains looking like this and expect no flooding abi?

Tribal bigots would not ask government to build CLOSED GUTTERS, instead of OPEN GUTTERS that lead nowhere

Demonic bigots like Helinues will come here and scream destroy IGBOs property.

Meeeen, I thank God every day for his grace and love, cause I would never want to be as wicked as some of these Bigots that rejoice at the suffering and tears of others. Thank you, Jesus. As much as I hate them, I will also pray for forgiveness that their souls do not perish.

See images of so called "Drainage" in Lagos, but they would leave that on every street and like demons, start roaming about looking for homes of the innocent to destroy.

vanitybutiwanti:
mumu, it's obvious some screws are missing in your brain, you get triggered when obi or Anambra is mentioned, Lagos is a shiithole as much as Anambra get that into your skull

Show us hana bra

show us hana bra

Empty Dunce, like Eggless Buns

vanitybutiwanti:
so? Does that make Anambra to be in the league of developed states in America and Europe? How many people from other parts of Nigeria migrate to Anambra for economic opportunities? Do you know the number of schools Fashola,Ameachi, wike and a host of other governors rehabilitated? What's so special about using government money to build substandard schools?

You said obi talked about replicating what was done in developed climes, can you provide pictorial evidence of the schools rehabilitated by obi, let's compare with schools in developed climes

Oh boy, wake up and smell the gutter

I'm sure tomorrow when you wake up, you will also inhale that fresh gutter outside your house too

So na this Lagos come be like YOU ROPE ba

The one with smelly poo visible for everyone to see

lol, una too funny for Naija sha. Denial is strong

so it's not cause of these things below they call "drainage"

David Hundeyin was right

They don't view Nigerians as a threat to their stealing, especially when you have team Helinues as the majority of the population, ready to kill other Nigerians to make sure Politicians continue stealing.

Quintessence44:
You are very stupid to be using white racists as your crutch and calling YOURSELF a “monkey”.

Stupid idiot.

Are you a monkey?

Your mother too?

Senseless fool.

When you get rid of your disgusting racial inferiority complex, then you can talk about other stuff.

For now, you need to go cure your head.

Go to India and Pakistan or Bangladesh, and you will see the worst slums and open drains.

But you will NEVER see them refer to themselves as “monkeys” because of that.

Stupid idiot with no brain.

When white racists call you something, you join them and call yourself the same thing because you are stupid with no sense.

What about the black countries where the gutters are usually covered?

Like Rwanda, Botswana, Kenya, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Jamaica, Angola etc?

How do the white racists you worship explain that?

See a typical Nigerian, arguing with sooo many words, simply cause I want cleaner, saner streets.

See the length they would go to make sure Nigeria doesn't get better. Think am na, see as the guy write book to defend OPEN GUTTER

ceejay10:
Nigeria did not make pact with backwardness. Rather, the parasites in power made such pact. Even when the ones with good intention gets there, they will be frustrated.

I don't believe we've ever had ones with great intentions.

That's why some Nigerians can dare say "Even if Jesus was in Charge, nothing will change", like how dare you?

People vote and support Demons all the time, then will turn around to say, even Jesus can't save Nigeria, or restructure or whatever.

Imagine going from coup plotter to certificate forger then you now say "Not even Jesus can...", you never even consider that first class guy from Harvard, or that 2-2 guy from Unilag that built businesses, or that Doctor that saved countless lives, not even the lowly guy with a moderate educational record but with numerous accomplishments and meekness of spirit....noooo, na JESUS dem go straight after supporting demons, begin dey talk say, Jesus no go fit work, mtcheew, imbeciles and hyprocrites.

Revealpanda:
.

We're so used to mediocrity and 19th century innovations.

Africa tire me Jesus

Men I have so many questions for Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, cause like, why am I a Nigerian? Okay why are Nigerians this way? Okay why are our politicians so wicked?

Imagine these two foreigners in the pic below. If they came for tourism, do you think they will EVER come back?

Of course it's different if the came for project money, cause money will make a man endure stress.

How can even the most expensive parts of a country have OPEN gutters like this, like wide open yansh for the whole world to see.

THEN SOME WILL SAY, OUR GOVERNEMENT IS WORKIING

It breaks my heart bro.


Nigerias problems can be so easily solved, STREET BY STREET.

Operation close all gutters, and the streets would already look 50% better.



Imagine having a nice living room with decent furnishing, then you place big buckets of shhhit at all the corners of the living room, then invite guests over. Would those guests ever want to come back to your house after seeing the buckets of shhhit you so proudly display?
