maestroferddi: You are getting it twisted. If you go back to the essay you would see where it was stated that opposition should be the watchdog of government. LOL, so the opposition should serve as the watchdog? do you know the meaning of the word "WATCHDOG"? What is the job of the Judiciary, pressure group, activist and the Legislators if the opposition to you should be the watchdog? 2 Likes |

This sample videos of the British leaders debating policies is what a democracy is all about... For every major decision of the David Cameron led government, a debating session will be organised between the Prime Minister David Cameron and the head of the opposition Ed Miliband. How I wish some unenlightened Nigerians who wish and pray for a lame and toothless opposition in Nigeria can watch these short videos and see for themselves how a democracy works in developed countries. Watch the video and see the head of the opposition dissect and rubbish David Cameron on a daily basis and these debates are aired live... This is not a case of a certain Nigerian president who trusting in the his own lack of intelligence and eloquence, could not face other (even unintelligent) presidential aspirants in a face to face debate.. Instead he chooses only to appear on pre-determined media chats where he answers rehearsed questions; even upon that, he still gives us unbelievable answers like "america will know" and "mere stealing is not corruption" Everyday I ask myself, how did Nigeria even degenerate to the level we are today?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbfZRA1xXNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2gIzzBtDxI 3 Likes |

maestroferddi: You are getting it twisted. If you go back to the essay you would see where it was stated that opposition should be the watchdog of government. Only in Nigeria will government in power that control all the resources blame opposition for poor performance ! Pathetic Unfortunately, the government in power has done same to the opposition. You can not exonerate them. Typical examples, Allowing PDP spokesmen to claim APC is sponsoring bokoharam. Using government resources to gain unfair advantage, TAN is a good example. The examples are numerous. The OP is just is not balanced in his assessment because he tried to paint APC as a bad kind of opposition. Has PDP also conducted itself is a classy manner? NO Mind you, going by comments by posters on popular forums and blogs, majority support parties based on ethnicity and religion. Sometimes, maybe based on popularity. PDP and APC are using same rules and tactics because that's what Nigerians want. Blaming APC for that is so not right 4 Likes |

tomakint: This Op deserves a medal for a well written piece! APC supporters should learn from other oppositions in developed nations for a more harmonious relationship with the ruling party and not this bitterness spilled everywhere.When exactly has PDP learn from ruling party in developed nations by spending 16 billion dollars on Power generation with no result to show for it? 4 Likes |

Omexonomy: Durring obj's tenure vote dont count whenever election is coming we athoumatically know who will win but gej came and change all that. E.g durring obj tenure osun election could have be convienetly rig in favour of PDP and the millitary and police will take care of the rest but gej never thaught of such rather he alowed the people decide for them selves. I am not a fan of GEJ. But trust me I 'liked' your post because this is true and I have mentioned this elsewhere. For me it is a big plus for the GEJ-led government. First, I am a Nigerian. |

Guk: Whilst people say PDP and APC are 2 sides of the same coin and therefore no difference, what worries me is the inability of Nigerians to accept the pathetically poor govts we have at all levels. We the people should be the main opposition through respective pressure groups like NLC; NBA; NMA; NANS; NUTRW etc but unfortunately, govt at al levels have used money to decimate all these groups.The bolded part of your message is one aspect I do not really understand about Nigerians... A person spends 10 times the required amount to provide a basic amenity and people who call themselves enlightened homo-sapiens begin to jump around in wild jubilations... Not too long ago due to the activities of the oil cabal, it was a tradition to have long fuel queues within the 3 weeks of Christmas.. This was the case during the regimes of OBj and Yaradua but GEJ came in and for the first time, there were no fuel queues in the yuletide period. While people jubilated and still jubilate at this feat, a simple question was asked which should prick the conscience of any sane human being, "At what cost was this feat made possible?" A comparison of the funds spent on subsidies between the OBJ era and the GEJ era showed that Nigerians had to pay almost an extra 1000% in 2 Likes |

If PDP is evil then APC would show us the devil"s hand if they are allowed to win the presidential elections. APC is undemocratic, ridden with 'godfatherism' and is a complex alliance of desperate ex PDP politicians and tribal political war-lords. GEJ till 2019 |

Lilimax: Opposition party is good as it will checkmate the ruling party and cut their excessesAnd has any laudable feat been achieved so far that demand commendation? Too much suffering and complacent is responsible for the mediocritical state of most Nigerians, where little progress is greeted with thunderous applause. Those against Apc are simply looking for excuses to hold unto. There is nothing unpatrotic in the opposition of Apc has provided so far. They said Apc is violent, i agree. Who could actually tolerate a gov't enbroiled in massive corruption like the pdp. A 15 yrs gov't with nothing more that mediocrity and deceits to show for. Apc should be more vile in its disposition, cos the softness of the opposition is the reason for this myopic remark by the op. 1 Like |

obailala:You no dey reason? As a Nigerian, if I coninue to tell people that I and I alone is born to rule, what does that mean to you. If I make a promise that there will be no peace in this country and a minute after, there comes Boko haram killing, burning, what does that tell you. When four governors from one region left one party and decamp to another, especially when it is thier last tenure, tell us the meaning or tell us, since independece, when did four governors decamped because the party they left is damn bad. When your chairman promised parallel government openly, tell us if there is any other anti-policy that is worse than that? When your Islam apc members told us openly that Nigeria must be an islamic nation by force by fire, is that not a wicked policy? If you are not convinced, I will be back shortly. |

OseghaleEbosele: From the article above it is obvious that the writer doesn't know anything abuit politics, whether in Nigeria or in other parts of the world. I suggest he should study the situation in USA (Democratic Party vs Republican Party), UK and Australia(Labour Party vs Conservative Party), France (Socialist Party vs Union for a Popular Movement), Germany (Social Democratic. Party vs Christian Democratic Union) etcGuy, u need to do ur research very well and be re-informed. Those examples of oppositions u mentioned above are not in any way compared to this sickening destructive critism and sabotage perpetrated by APC in Nigeria. Anyway, u may not understand if u are any APC member.....we do, cos we arent politicians. |

olapluto: Sincerely speaking, the mold of APC is a very good opposition. However, Nigerians have been so battered, emotionally bruised that we have learnt over time to accept our pathetic situation. That is why a government will be so poor and oppositions are not allowed to ask questions. E.g GEJ recently asked for 1B to fight Boko Haram. The ONLY voice raising legitimate concerns about how previous money was spent and why so much money needed when little progress made with former allocations is APC.yes thats a good one they should demand accountability to the masses to the last kobo. My groose with them is that they've not shown what they can offer except their desperado for power. |
