I do not expect this government to perform magic. However, what is needed is continuous communication and coordinated communication channels on its plans - you need to 'keep hope alive'. Getting conflicting statements from government officials, having people assume what the stance of government is, speaking to Nigerians in foreign lands etc won't help much. Ultimately, actions speak faster than talks too. |

People, whether you agree with the writer or not, I urge everybody to learn how to read and comprehend the gist of an article rather than simply dismissing it or attacking the writer. You are free to disagree with any writer, but if you do so, it will help your readers if you present a cogent and intellectual counter-argument instead of a lame attack that has no basis at all. Any writer will know that it does take a lot of work, thought and effort to compose, write and present a concise and intelligent article, with well-rounded points, articulate analyses and good arguments. Learn to read, analyse and comprehend a writer first. FYI, to sum it up in Simple Arithmetic terms, I think this is all that the writer was trying to say below: Mathematics 101 - Basic Arithmetic or Simple Arithmetic PDP - Rules Nigeria for (16) years? And the results are = ZERO, 1, 2, 3, -1, -2, -3 or ? YOU TAKE YOUR PICK. So you do the math yourself. APC - Rules Nigeria for ( ? ) months. And the results are = YTBD (Yet To be determined) Some people are demanding that APC give them WAEC results before the exam don even take place sef. This sums up what the writer is trying to say. SIMPLE. This is all that that the writer was trying to tell you. Now, if you disagree with am, make you present to us, your own argument and intellectual analyses and your own facts or your counter-points and counter-arguments. No need for all the cussing and dissing, cheap shots and insults and all the unnecessary verbal yanma-yanma. That is how you make an intellectual counter-argument, if you have one. Thanks. |

Once again God bless the writer and I totally agree with his views. In other news, we just infected our neighbours Benin Republic with the defeat of an incumbent in power. Leaders must realise in Africa that power has returned to the people through the ballot. 1 Like 1 Share |

It is important that nigerians fasten their belts and stand up against any government that fails to perform well. This buhari government is a non performing government. That was how other military generals ruled the country for many many years but could not achieve any tangible thing. The swag of this apc government indicates to be another insensitive unconcerned clueless nigerian government. |

The same applies to roads. Available statistics shows that there are about 200,000 kilometres of roads in the country, out of which the total federal highways is about 34,340.90 kilometres. The states and local governments have responsibility for 165,660 kilometres of roads. If the states and local government councils do their roads, the federal roads will pave into insignificance. http://guardian.ng/opinion/why-nigerians-have-tortoise-mentality/[/quote] In 2014, there was a concerted effort by the National Assembly, to amend the Constitution and free local government areas in Nigeria from the firm grip of the state governments to enable them carry out their constitutional responsibilities. This of course could not succeed, even though it was a laudable gesture meant to expedite development at the grassroot level. Apc, in its usual politics of bitterness, thwarted the move just to smear pdp and its government without considering the enormous resources already invested on the bill by the National Assembly or its foreseen advantages to the people. The bill was eventually dropped because it could not secure the mandatory two third majority from the state assemblies after passing and conducting of public hearing on the bill. Today, as a concerned Nigerian, you are asking the state and local governments to rise to their responsibilities without asking the state to free up the resources of the local governments at its disposal. What kind of magical powers do you expect the local governments to employ in order for the people to feel their presence? Nigeria is not ready for development, until she is restructured and the current constitution replaced. 1 Like |

This is the most senseless nd mypoic epistle on this forum. Where was the writer of the article when apc nd its change chantters were making promises that are unrealistic, not viable nd impossible to actualise. When you make promises that must be meet within a time frame, you must hit d ground running to achieve the set goals nd mandate at hand. Apc nd buhari are clueless on how to run nigeria. |

Writer made some valid points but I do not agree with his passing the bulk antics, if the FG should clean up their area however little, it will serve as a yardstick to measure the performance of states. I agree that people criticizing a government that is yet to implement a single budget are Nincompoops. |
