Democracy in Nigeria have been murdered a very long time ago. If we are to celebrate democracy the only acceptable and recognized day is JUNE 12. |

All the frustrated, criminal and vision lack politicians celebrating what they have not achieved. forgetting that Nigeria is living in darkness. |

NO REASON TO CELEBRATE YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN. WHAT HAPPENS VIA THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE ONLY REASON FOR CELEBRATION. ASK THE KENYANS, THE ZIMBABWEANS, EVEN THE CHINESE (WHERE THEY SUFFERD EARTHQUAKE, ) AND YOU WILL REALIZE THAT IN SPITE OF WHATEVER, THERE ARE STILL REASONS TO CELEBRATE. I THINK THE ISSUE SHOULD BE WHAT OR WHO ARE WE TO CELEBRATE AND IN WHAT MANNER. |

Nigeria1. (Mr Green White Green,Mr do good) What the hell are you emphasising on? people are here discussing on way forward here and you are here delivering a cock and bull story.Tell me if Obasanjo was so great to restore Electricity when he was on sit or maybe you are one of those who study in his Library in Ogun State,thats why you dont want others to ignore his looted act. ASSBAG!!! |

Nigeria1.: My guy there's no way u can tell that just by looking at that picture, for all u know fashola could have wanted to finish with oyinlola b4 moving to OBJ, who was calmly waitin' for him, or better still fashola could have been moving from right to left, meaning that he'd greated OBJ b4 moving on to oyinlola, to post the above statement without conclusive proof shows ur bias. Nigeria1.: What a blasphemy!!! My lips are sealed. I know I'm not disrespected in any way sha, and I b confirmed Yoruba pikin |

at least AIT can celebrate 12 months of not been beaten up by the SSS |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by shawn123: 10:42am On May 30, 2008 |
@Nigeria1 who cares if he doesnt acknowledge Obasanjo, you are talking about some bloody culture. Is it not the so called culture that has put us in the dark, the same bloody culture that has got the people killing themselves over land and negligable stuffs, the same bloody culture that prevents intermarriage in most cases like we are not all Nigerians, the same culture that keeps our politicians going to shrine for blood oath, If you call this mayheim culture, then i rufuse to go by it. Talking about respecting Obasanjo, like he deserves it! My friend you have a brain just do what is right and stop going by some cultural books that wont take you anywhere! |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by mekoyo(m): 10:57am On May 30, 2008 |
Can we just forget about Obasanjo and look forward to the future ahead. Its one year since Yar adua came into power, the question we should ask ourselves is, what has he done so far? how far has he gone in his agenda? Is Nigeria moving forward at all if not, what is the way forward? |

Nigerian democracy => So much motion, but no movement. |

Nigeria1.: FASHOLA SHOULD HAVE SPAT OR SPEW HOT PHLEGM ON HIS UGLY-ASS FACE! |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by maxell(f): 12:06pm On May 30, 2008 |
Fashola had to greet the ex-president before going to his seat. I don't believe he'll just ignore him. Have you seen the video to know for a fact that Fashola didn't greet him ? |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by dee02(m): 12:09pm On May 30, 2008 |
Nigeria1.: Nothing dey, Fashola carry go! You said he should head to OTTA with a bloody goat, how daft and archaic of you! Instead of heading towards OTTA with a goat to go and appease another GOAT, I would recommend he direct ALQAEDA to bomb OBJ and the animals he lives with in OTTA or better still he should be banned from entering LAGOS forever! |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by 9jerguy(m): 12:13pm On May 30, 2008 |
Democracy day was nothing but a shame to the nigerian leaders Absolutely nothing to celebrate |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by oYaTo(m): 12:18pm On May 30, 2008 |
Nigeria1.: Guy your foolishness astounds me! Shey u dey there when Fashola dey allegedly ignore OBJ? U carry camera film d whole thing? Abeg go find beta thin' to do. . .OBJ pikin. Tell me. . .does OBJ even deserve any respect? No be d guy dey involved in drama concernin' his own daughter-in-law? Even the Yoruba Elders u dey quote go disagree with you say d man deserve respect. Even if his son dey lie on top am, the fact that he can't even keep his own household together says a whole lot about him. . .Abeg dis guy make we hear word o maxell: Abi o |

Really there is nothing to celebrate about democracy. |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by ssRhino: 1:45pm On May 30, 2008 |
I kinda wonder too what the Democracy Day was all about, i would have agreed to such a day, if they could change the name to "Demon-Cracy Day" cos i still dont see what is democratical in nigeria, i must admit that some governors seems to be doing a good job, cos i read some of the things that is been done in lagos and i commend the governor there. I will like to know what nigeria celebrates when NEPA still stands for "not expect power always", when the roads are still roads to death, when there are still moving boz on the roads to death, when average mane are still not getting paid, all cos some leaders fixing the salary for 3 months and collecting some interest on the money that dont belong to them, and when paying the salary, they wont share the interest with the owner of the money, please help me to understand what nigeria is celebrating, when the nation is still not a place where any citizen of nigeria can just stand and wanna contest for election, except his last name is one of the players? I beg, Democracy Day ko, Demonstration of crazy day ni. God will help nigeria sha. |

Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by SkyBlue1: 2:05pm On May 30, 2008 |
@Nigeria 1, you wrote this: "Fashola role as governor is hold up the culture of the Yorubas". I don't even know where to begin. So that is the role of the governor of Lagos State? Is lagos no longer part of Nigeria? So only yorubas live in lagos? This whole tribal issue, i just don't know. My main surprise at the whole Fashola did not allegedly greet OBJ was, i just did not realise it was now illegal to not greet who you don't want to greet. Is it now against the law? If you don't really want to is it by force? You could argue he could at least be civil, etc but is it your problem? With all the things happening in Nigeria i really do not think whether Fashola greets or does not greet OBJ is even an issue in the first place or is it? So we should now focus on who does or does not want to play with OBJ anymore? LOL. I am impressed with the urgency Fashola is treating his state with and if he can put order in the chaos that is lagos of all cities in Nigeria during his term, then no on else has any excuse, NO ONE. Not even Yaradua, or any other governor or government of any state. |

As far as I'm concerned, the real democracy day is June 12! |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by U1(m): 2:28pm On May 30, 2008 |
Which one be my own? I be politician? Democrazy in Naija is meant for those looters and embezzlers. |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by shawn123: 3:01pm On May 30, 2008 |
@Nigeria1 Dont you get it, your parable doesnt really matter. True like you said according to the yoruba's "only a bastard uses left hand to point to his father's house" . I want to ask you a question, with all this parable and culture, we still sleep in the dark, no water, light, road, health. Yet you are telling me about what the yoruba's say. Okay now, our ancestors never went to the banks to save money, they used to dig floors in their rooms and put money in the pot and save it , why dont you do that instead of banking and using atm. Nobody says disrespect elders, but when the elder has proved to be a door mat, you step on the door mat. Why in God's name would i respect all these old dump leaders that never gave a damn about the country and its people but only their pockets. culture ko, culture ni! |

We have a Mr. President that is sick and who has a terminal disease. Did you guys watch the media chat last nite? What did you notice? Whenever he speaks, check out the cough. Not ordinary cough. The cough is somesort related to his ailment. May God help us !! |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by ssRhino: 5:31pm On May 30, 2008 |
@Aussie, if he is sick that is why he has a VP, let him take time off and allow the guy to run teh govt, if he is not capable of doig the job, he has been in power for a year and i am yet to see any positive changes, what a nation. |
Re: Democracy Day : No Reason To Celebrate by dee02(m): 6:01pm On May 30, 2008 |
