NGN578bn constituency projects in a year for 469 lawmakers, means each lawmaker will get NGN1.2bn on the average for constituency projects.

6,403 projects for 469 lawmakers means each lawmaker will carry out at least 12 projects in their constituency costing NGN100m on the average.

Normally, by the time you add these projects to the FG and State Projects, every part of the country should feel the Government but as usual, it will just end up as a means to siphon money.

Now, over NGN200bn is being budgeted for elections. This is an unprecedented increase of over 100% on the last election.

I am yet to see why we will spend close to $0.8 billion on elections and we won't have credible elections.

With the amount of money we are spending, voting should be electronic, results should be real-time and rigging should be minimal.

Meanwhile, this NGN578bn for constituency projects and NGN228bn for elections will completely tar most of the death-trap roads in Nigeria at least or finally solve the problem of electricity but no way! We must chop mentality don kee all of them.

What changed?? He didn't do the right thing when the courts told him to release Dasuki and Kanu. He didn't do the right thing when he sent his boys to arrest federal judges without warrants, he didn't do the right thing when he refused to prosecute Maina. What changed now?? Quit deceiving yourselves.
First of all, Dasuki and Kanu's case are issues of National security. That of Dasuki is even more difficult because he was the NSA. He has and is exposed to some classified infomation which if released can harm and affect the relationship of the country with others. It can also lead to the death oF some Nigerians here and abroad. You have to look at the big picture. You cannot destroy the peace of a country because you want to protect the right of one citizen.
Secondly, there was a warrant, signed by a magistrate for the search of the house and arrest of those judges. Google is you friend, use it.
Now, for Maina, the case is already in court, so the executive has to hands off. Let the judges say if he is guilty or innocent. That is the beauty of democracy

Lol, you really think that if Dasuki wanted to release classified information, something as inconsequential as a prison wall would prevent him? Or how on earth Kanu's call for a referendum became an issue of national security and public support for a group regarded as the fourth most dangerous terrorist group by Miyetti Allah isn't? Also, I agree with you regarding the Judges.

Dasuki was taking by surprise hence he had no leverage. If he had, the Government would have negotiated with him as they did with boko haram.
In the case of IPOB, Kanu was becoming too hot and therefore needed to be cut down to size. If you recall the second world war, Hitler was a very good orator and propagandist. He was able to mobilise a die-hard army who believed an did even the most absurd thing for him. That was where Kanu was heading. To save the country from balkanization, IPOB needed to be disbanned.

Jesus!!! Can you just reread what you wrote?? That I think you will steal tomorrow means I should arrest you today. Does that make sense to you??

Instead of fixing the issues that gave rise to Kanu in the first place, you decide to take the most foolish approach. I'm confident on whose side posterity lies in this case.

Dumb government!!

One of the first life lessons I learnt was to first of all examine the possible outcomes of any action I wanted to take.

Newton also paraphrased it "in every action there's equal and opposite reaction"

It's obvious Buhari and his obviously unintelligent cabals act before they think..
Little wonder we are here today..

this is the problem with the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of Biafra,
After they will be shouting of buhari is a tyrant.
How does that affect buhari if they delay the election.

Truth is relative. It depends on the point of view from which you are looking at it.

[b]Yes truth is very very relative. Truth is relative to time, context and perspertive. For example, the world was thought to be flat before now which was the truth at that time. Today, we know the world to be a sphere. The earth was thought to be the center of our solar system. Today, it is the sun. They say Mongo Park discovered the river Niger but people were living by and going up and down the river before Mongo Park. The context of this discovery and the person telling this story makes it to be true. It is true for the europeans but it is false for the indigenes. Now Kanu wanted Biafra and said so many things to try to achieve Biafra. To the Biafran, these things are true but to Nigerians, it is all lies.

Wow. I'm done arguing with you due to your very warped mindset and nothing else. If you knew an atom about truth, you'll see the world in a different light. No wonder you reason this way. You can't grasp a concept as basic as Truth, and you think you have an opinion in the community of men. Truth is the only entity that never changes no matter what happens. It is easier for the heavens and earth to pass away than for truth to change.

That they thought the earth was flat didn't mean it was. It only meant they hadn't studied the earth properly. This would be my last response to you. Au re voir.

now you are pained. Sorry o! But come to think of it, in those days, people were accused of heresy and stoned to death for saying the earth was a sphere instead of flat. That which you call truth and hold so dear can become a lie in a moment. Truth is very relative. It is only an illiterate that says truth is constant.
