You are wrong bro, those European countries you've been showing us did not get to that level once. If our previous government brought something like thin 1980 and maintained it, at least before now, it would have improved to something better. But they all left it to rot bro, Gej had to start from the scratch.

You want us to jump into electric trains when the government is still trying to make electricity available to the masses. If we purchase those very expensive trains, will Nigerians be able to patronize cos I know the transport fare will be expensive, won't Nigerians still patronize normal road transport than the rails. Things are done gradually brother, learn to appreciate.

God bless you bro

donodion:
Fixed..dumbo.

Only a fool will do what u just did.
Bleep outta ma mentions

donodion:
Olodo!!!.Odion sound yoruba to you?

Between yes,a provincial (state) govt could subsidize any material to support the poor,the needy and their citizens.

In most cases Government builds free public toilets,enacts and enables policies to all commercial public service providers (e.g Shopping malls, filling stations,etc), to also ensure sufficient convenience facilities as such are mandatory and incorporated in their structural plans and constructions.

If you have left the shores of Nigeria for a more organised country you will understand.

It is this free and subsidized mentality that have brought about a geometrical increase in the almajiri style street urchins and agberos dotting every landscape in the south west. They feel everything has to be provided for them free of charge or subsidized hence the lazyness.
And yes,you are very dumb

fujirice:
Some pipo don't have shame walahi.

Seriously.

I wonder how these yoruba landlords make provisions for building houses and yet they dont see the need to equip such places of habitation with befitting conveniences. Is it that they are scared if incurring more cost in the building construction? They dont construct septic tanks. They rather channel the water frm the bathroom and kitchen into the street.

Nna mehn,these people are DIRTY

donodion:
hahahahahahaah Nigerian politicians can make mouth...wht has Fayose done to subsidize the acquisition of toilet facilities? im own na to grab mic begin give order...LOL!!!

See yoruba mentality.
So they have to subsidize the price of toilet facility for you pple?
Chai!!!

AbuMaryam1:
Buhari look more corporate, GEJ Look like Tilapia fish, no wonder drunkard fisherman.

I will continue correcting your faulty written english till u learn.
You should have used looks there instead of look.
Secondly,there is no word like drunkard. I told you this yesterday and yet your block head refused you from assimilating and taking corrections

AbuMaryam1:
^^^ my guy this trash you upload to depend your pay master shall not work out here. The Otueke drunkard rent is over and the landlord is no more interested,2015 February he must pack and go period.

You seriously need to work on your spoken and written english. When someone gbagauns for two consecutive days,it is no more a typo issue.
Yesterday you wrote speak as *speeks*
Today you spelt defend as *depend*

Are you writing english with your hausa tongue pronounciation?

And please there is no word like drunkard in the dictionary. Just stick to your arabic schooling. And if you insist you must write in english,then check yourself into one of the various almajiri schools the president have built for you northern goats.

Fellow Nigerians,
When in December 1983, the former military leadership, headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, assumed the reins of government, its accession was heralded in the history of this country. With the nation at the mercy of political misdirection and on the brink of economic collapse, a new sense of hope was created in the minds of every Nigerian.
Since January 1984, however, we have witnessed a systematic denigration of that hope. It was stated then that mismanagement of political leadership and a general deterioration in the standard of living, which had subjected the common man to intolerable suffering, were the reasons for the intervention.
Nigerians have since then been under a regime that continued with those trends. Events today indicate that most of the reasons which justified the military takeover of government from the civilians still persist.
The initial objectives were betrayed and fundamental changes do not appear on the horizon. Because the present state of uncertainty, suppression and stagnation resulted from the perpetration of a small group, the Nigerian Armed Forces could not as a part of that government be unfairly committed to take responsibility for failure. Our dedication to the cause of ensuring that our nation remains a united entity worthy of respect and capable of functioning as a viable and credible part of the international community dictated the need to arrest the situation.
Let me at this point attempt to make you understand the premise upon which it became necessary to change the leadership. The principles of discussions, consultation and co-operation which should have guided decision-making process of the Supreme Military Council and the Federal Executive Council were disregarded soon after the government settled down in 1984. Where some of us thought it appropriate to give a little more time, anticipating a conducive atmosphere that would develop, in which affairs of state could be attended to with greater sense of responsibility, it became increasingly clear that such expectations could not be fulfilled.
Regrettably, it turned out that Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was too rigid and uncompromising in his attitudes to issues of national significance. Efforts to make him understand that a diverse polity like Nigeria required recognition and appreciation of differences in both cultural and individual perceptions, only served to aggravate these attitudes.
Major-General Tunde Idiagbon was similarly inclined in that respect. As Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, he failed to exhibit the appropriate disposition demanded by his position. He arrogated to himself absolute knowledge of problems and solutions, and acted in accordance with what was convenient to him, using the machinery of government as his tool.
A combination of these characteristics in the two most important persons holding the nation's vital offices became impossible to content with. The situation was made worse by a number of other government functionaries and organisations, chief among which is the Nigerian Security Organisation (NSO). In fact, this body will be overhauled and re-organized.
And so it came to be that the same government which received the tumultuous welcome now became alienated from the people. To prevent a complete erosion of our given mandate therefore, we had to act so that hope may be rebuilt.
Let me now address your attention to the major issues that confront us, so that we may, as one people, chart a future direction for our dear country. We do not pretend to have all the answers to the questions which our present problems have put before our nation. We have come with the strongest determination to create an atmosphere in which positive efforts shall be given the necessary support for lasting solutions.
For matters of the moment which require immediate resolutions, we intend to pursue a determined programme of action. Major issues falling into this category have been identified and decisions taken on what should be done.
Firstly, the issue of political detainees or convicts of special military tribunals. The history of our nation had never recorded the degree of indiscipline and corruption as in the period between October 1979 and December 1983.
While this government recognises the bitterness created by the irresponsible excesses of the politicians, we consider it unfortunate that methods of such nature as to cause more bitterness were applied to deal with past misdeeds. We must never allow ourselves to lose our sense of natural justice. The innocent cannot suffer the crimes of the guilty. The guilty should be punished only as a lesson for the future. In line with this government's intention to uphold fundamental human rights, the issue of detainees will be looked into with despatch.
As we do not intend to lead a country where individuals are under the fear of expressing themselves, the Public Officers Protection Against False Accusation Decree 4 of 1984 is hereby repealed. And finally, those who have been in detention under this decree are hereby unconditionally released. The responsibility of the media to disseminate information shall be exercised without undue hindrance. In that process, those responsible are expected to be forthright and to have the nation's interest as their primary consideration.
The issue of decrees has generated a lot of controversies. It is the intention of this government to review all other decrees.
The last twenty months have not witnessed any significant changes in the national economy. Contrary to expectations, we have so far been subjected to a steady deterioration in the general standard of living; and intolerable suffering by the ordinary Nigerians have risen higher, scarcity of commodities has increased, hospitals still remain mere consulting clinics, while educational institutions are on the brink of decay. Unemployment has stretched to critical dimensions.
Due to the stalemate, which arose in negotiation with the International Monetary Fund, the former government embarked on a series of counter-trade agreements. Under the counter-trade agreements, Nigerians were forced to buy goods and commodities at higher prices than obtained in the international market. The government intends to review the whole issue of counter-trade.
A lot has been said and heard about our position with the International Monetary Fund. Although we formally applied to the fund in April 1983, no progress has as yet been made in the negotiation and a stalemate has existed for the last two years.
We shall break the deadlock that frustrated the negotiations with a view to evaluating more objectively both the negative and positive implications of reaching a mutual agreement with the Fund. At all times in the course of discussions, our representatives will be guided by the feelings and aspirations of the Nigerian people.
It is the view of this government that austerity without structural adjustment is not the solution to our economic predicament. The present situation whereby 44 per cent of our revenue earning is utilised to service debts is not realistic. To protect the danger this poses to the poor and the needy in our society, steps will be taken to ensure comprehensive strategy of economic reforms.
The crux of our economic problems has been identified to centre around four fundamental issues:
1. A decrease of our domestic production, while our population continues to increase.
2. Dependence on import for both consumer goods and raw materials for our industries.
3. A grossly unequal gap between the rich and the poor.
4. The large role played by the public sector in economic activity with hardly any concrete results to justify such a role.
These are the problems we must confront.
ON FOREIGN POLICY:
Nigeria's foreign policy in the last 20 months has been characterised by inconsistency and incoherence. It has lacked the clarity to make us know where we stood on matters of international concern to enable other countries relate to us with seriousness. Our role as Africa's spokesman has diminished because we have been unable to maintain the respect of African countries.
The ousted military government conducted our external relations by a policy of retaliatory reactions. Nigeria became a country that has reacted to given situations, rather than taking the initiative as it should and always been done. More so, vengeful considerations must not be the basis of our diplomacy. African problems and their solutions should constitute the premise of our foreign policy.
The realisation of the Organisation of African Unity of the Lagos Plan of Action for self-sufficiency and constructive co-operation in Africa shall be our primary pursuit.
The Economic Community of West African States must be reborn with the view to achieving the objective of regional integration. The problems of drought-stricken areas of Africa will be given more attention and sympathy, and our best efforts will be made to assist in their rehabilitation within the limits of our resources. Our membership of the United Nations Organisation will be made more practical and meaningful. The call for a new International Economic Order which lost its momentum in the face of the debt crisis will be made once again.
Nigeria hereby makes a renewed request to the Non-Aligned Movement to regroup and reinvigorate its determination to restructure the global economic system, while we appeal to the industrialized nations to positively consider the debt plight of the developing countries and assist in dealing with the dangers that face us. We shall remain members of the various multilateral institutions and inter-governmental organisations which we belong to and do what must be done to enhance the membership and participation within them.
Fellow Nigerians, this country has had since independence a history mixed with turbulence and fortune. We have witnessed our rise to greatness, followed with a decline to the state of a bewildered nation. Our human potentials have been neglected, our natural resources put to waste. A phenomenon of constant insecurity and overbearing uncertainty has become characteristic of our national existence.
My colleagues and I are determined to change the course of history. This government is determined to unite this country. We shall not allow anything to obstruct us. We recognise that a government, be it civilian or military, needs the consent of the people to govern if it is to reach its objective. We do not intend to rule by force. At the same time, we should not be expected to submit to unreasonable demands. Fundamental rights and civil liberties will be respected, but their exercise must not degenerate into irrational expression nor border on subversion.
The War Against Indiscipline will continue, but this time, in the minds and conduct of Nigerians, and not by way of symbolism or money-spending campaigns.
This government, on its part, will ensure that the leadership exhibits proper example. Criticisms of actions and decisions taken by us will be given necessary attention and where necessary changes made in accordance with what is expected of us.
Let me reiterate what we said in 1984: This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria. We must all stay and salvage it together. This time it shall be pursued with deeper commitment and genuine sincerity.
There is a lot of work to be done by every single Nigerian.Let us all dedicate ourselves to the cause of building a strong, united and viable nation for the sake of our own lives and the benefits of posterity.
Finally, I wish to commend the members of the Armed Forces and the Nigeria Police for their mature conduct during the change.
I thank you all for your co-operation and understanding.
God bless Nigeria.

Continue with your stupidity Yoruba already knows you and your lots are frustrated.
If you want to sell a bad product, you need to persuade buyers not insult them.
When Yoruba voted for JEG in 2014 they're not slaves they are freeborn, now that their bod language is not falling for JEG Yoruba suddenly became ''slaves of Hausa'' to you and your fellow satanists.
''OYOMESI'' Yoruba knows how to answer you and your lots so keep the insults coming but please don't blame Yoruba when it happens.

You will alwayz be a Gambari slave for life

huptin:

Gambari slave,dont quote me

laurel03:
one eyed man is the king in the town of the blind... really gmb age is old but if its just one year he use he will tackle corruption small

Tackling corruption is easier said than done. The kind of bureaucratic loopholes he will meet will so shock him. This is not nigeria of 1983 where u can make any pronouncement from your high horse.

Anyway,he wont get there. Both him,you and all who support that old islamic extremist are dreamers.

The yorubas are a conquered tribe.
They cant help but do the bidding of their gambari masters by ensuring power goes back to the north.

Moderrator:
nice. Most people think they cannot be changed because they are already who they are #lol

"I'm gay right from the day i was born" is as good as saying "I'm a thief right from the day i was born" or "i'm a geek right from the day i was born
" , what if the current paying job demands political or accounting skills? you send an anonymous email to someone and commit suicide?
Who cares? Basically , you have to adapt to the situation.

23. If you still eye women's boobs and bumbums when they pass, nada, you aint ready yet.

The star witness in the attempted murder trial of former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late Gen. Sani Abacha, Maj. Hamza al-Mustapha, Sgt. Barnabas Jabila, yesterday told a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja how former President Olusegun Obasanjo visited his State Security Services (SSS) detention facility.
Besides Obasanjo, the late Justice Minister Chief Bola Ige (SAN) and his Lagos State counterpart, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), also visited, bearing cash gifts to him, he told the court.
Jabila, who is also known as Sgt. Rogers, said he was warned not to tell anyone about their visit as they were out to recover money stolen by the late Head of State from his family.
He added that he was promised by the authorities a house, overseas posting and a more befitting job for his wife who was a medical officer in Jaji, Kaduna State, before she moved to Abuja if he could cooperate with prosecutors.
Before the visit of Obasanjo, Ige, Osinbajo and ex- Lagos State Solicitor-General, Mr. Fola Author-Worrey, Jabila said he was kept in a very inhuman condition by the SSS.

Mr Mohammed Abdul (aka) Katako, the fifth prosecution witness in the attempted murder trial of Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, yesterday said he was induced to implicate Al-Mustapha.
At the resumed hearing of the case before Justice Mufutau Olokoba of an Ikeja High Court yesterday, Katako, said though he was given cash gift by former Attorney-General of Lagos State, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, and the state Solicitor-General, Mr Fola Athur-Worrey during their visits, he drove one of the cars in which Alex Ibru was shot.
Al-Mustapha is standing trial with James Danbaba, Jubril Bala Yakubu and Mohammed Rabo Lawal, on a six-count charge of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and grievous harm to Ibru, Publisher of The Guardian Newspaper in 1996.
"Former Attorney-General of the Federation, late Chief Bola Ige, SAN, visited me once and he gave me N100,000. Osinbajo and Athur-Worrey also visited many times to advise on what to say in court and they also on some occasions, gave me money."
He said like Rogers, the late Ige and Kanu Agabi, SAN, who he said did not come in person but sent someone to him with the sum of N50,000, were nice to him and promised him a lot of things to encourage him to testify in this case.
But many of the promises, according to him, were not fulfilled, except for the house in Jos, which had since been given to him and had been rented out on N120,000 per annum.
"I was promised a house, a foreign attache and 10 per cent of recovered Abacha's loot, which we were meant to understand the investigation was all about."
Katako, who did not deny knowing all the accused persons, said, "I was formerly working with Cellcom, a company owned by the late Ibrahim Abacha, son of the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha and later joined the Army. I then started working as a driver with Mohammed Abacha."
The case continues today, September 10, 2008.
