YES!!! Things were adequately okay. There was enough food to eat, our pipe borne water were working, there is constant power supply during those military era, how then did we get to where we are right now? No pipe borne water, Electricity is non existent.

Who set-up those refineries?

Why after over 14yrs, No civilian government has been able to set up any refineries for us?

Mhyke:
alryt,nothing has been done to change that yet bt does it mean we need the military to come back nd clean up their mess?
nd remember it's easier to destroy dan repair

Mhyke:
they set it up,which gives them every right to ruin it abi

larride:

Good!!! So in your own words after 14yrs of civilian rule, nothing has been done to upgrade or set up new refineries, that means CIVILIAN RULE HAS FAILED US in that stage. Yes we need the military to come help us upgrade our refineries and set up new ones since our civilian government can't do it. You can now see that democracy has been under-developing us?

Mhyke:
no i didnt.i was refering to all protests in general

Mhyke:
that was completely out of it,.
we dont call a barber to replait the hair he shaved away

Mhyke:
that was completely out of it,.
we dont call a barber to replait the hair he shaved away

sapientia1: Then what protest? Please tell me, maybe one, two, three or four

Mhyke:
il give u somtin better,moshood abiola was arrested and killed judy because he wants to claim hs right as the legal nigerian president.
nd he wasnt protesting o,just claiming hs right

sapientia1: THIS I COMPLETELY VIEW AS A TYPICAL "CIVILIAN MENTALITY!" so you mean things should stay the way they were? No developments? Is this what our democratic leaders should do? Well am not surprised, after 14 years of civilian rule, we still remain behind! No acheivement to show for it! Oh, what a GOVERNMENT!

larride:

What about Bola Ige?

larride:

But we can go back to the barber once the hair is full.

maclatunji: Sapentia, please what does the word "cohersion" mean? How does the military maintain "absolute discipline within every aspect of governance"?

maclatunji: Mhyke and Resxul, how do you explain the slow delivery of a better standard of living for Nigerians since the return to democracy in Nigeria since 1999?.

sapientia1: cohesion is the state of working together..and the military maintain absolute discipline within every aspect of government because they were trained men, they had discipline and what it takes to rule.

Mhyke:
we can term the progress to be slow but at least we are progressing not the other way around.It's not easy redrcorating a messed up place and decorating it at the same time.we have the hope of a developed country as we reserve every right to speak out not to fold hands and watch things unfold

Mhyke:
can i comment on this please?

maclatunji: Larride, what do you consider as the most important index of development in any country?

larride:

The most important index of development is a country standard of living and the poverty line since development of any country has to reflect in the lives of the populace.

maclatunji:

Would you prefer a developed country with limited tolerance for dissent to a country that allows expressions of all ideas but fails to develop?

maclatunji:

What is the best indicator of a country's standard of living?

Mhyke: should we expect more questions from the judges or the debate's over??
