Hopefully the blue line becomes operational by the end of the year as promised.

larride:


I actually thought you are one of the sensible ones here. Sorry I engaged you.

Continue.

larride:


Na wetin now chief. How that way?

larride:


Nobody is crying but if you think someone who went to law school, became a barrister and rose to become Attorney General is a thug because he doesn't know what buoyed means then I dont have anything to say to you.

Nevertheless it doesn't change the fact that the man has achieved more than 95% of those in your lineage. Not bad for a thug.

larride:


That's the plan. The rail will hopefully decongest the road.

Baba, I can see how this interview can raise levels of frustration for people on both sides.

While you are right about Shittu, whom I think should not be disrespected for not knowing the meaning of a word (nothing is wrong in that I must clarify, nobody knows it all) it is his approach and subsequent reaction that made the interview tensed. He was already defensive from the start of the interview as though he was expecting some level of bias from the interviewers.

The lady should also take a portion of the blame. She was too insistent in correcting Shittu about the word “Bouyed” and its use during the interview, which only made everything worse because Shittu felt attacked. She did not need to engage him any further regarding that point, Shittu’s response alsready proved he did not understand the meaning of buoyed, she should have moved on. Another interviewer may have allowed the issue go rather than insisting and riling him up even further.

Finally baba, let’s be careful with how we glorify public servants or people who have served the public in the past. They are/ were public servants for a reason, it comes with the territory. They would forever remain accountable to the people irrespective of when they served. Shittu did not do anyone favors by becoming an Attorney General of a minister in Nigeria, rather, Nigerians did him and his career a favor.

Senator Nnamani got into a spat with a Twitter user and before you know it, the exchange degenerated into name calling between both. The disparity in wealth/ power between our leader/ politicians and its followers is huge and this gulf which is represented by the opposite extremes of rich and poor fuels this disdain and anger.

obainojazz:
So Larride sees wealth gotten by looting and says this one has achieved more than someone’s generation.
Only some people in Nigeria will think this way, abroad they are meant to serve us, here people like larride worship them

izzou:


Mile 2 to Marina.

I doubt if it will reduce much.

larride:


Lol, you have always been like this so I'm not surprised.

You have started having another discussion in your head again. Obiano, take care of your mental health.

larride:


You are talking nonsense. The only reason you and the others are calling him a thug is because you guys think he's someone a Tinubu guy not knowing whatever he became in APC was because he was with Buhari in CPC.

Nowhere do you call a barrister who was a former attorney general of a state a thug. There is plenty videos of your idol Wike trashing talking and nobody has called him a thug here.

Politics do not confer the right to you to just insult or label anybody you dont like.

Amoto94:
Some will downplay the positives and amplify the negatives so much for not being haters, you can hide your creed but your companions will expose it for the observant. From the foremost of our problems in this part is our hypocrisy and being sentimental with truth.
In the same vein you criticise the failures/shortcomings of individual(s), you should also praise their successes no matter how small they are don't downplay them or disregard them completely by attributing them to someone else.

donjazet:



By your logic, let me ask you a question?
If you know that someone was an armed robber who killed people on the highway but in the same vein built a church or place of worship in his community, how do you think such a person should be regarded?


We are not perfect beings but if your bad sides far surpasses your good sides, then you should be outrightly condemned. That's why a bad government must be outrightly condemned, in doing so you set the bar or standard of performance very high.

This your line of thinking is why governance performance is very low in this part of the world.

A governor is given a budget of 500 billion naira, he uses 100 billion naira to build roads, schools etc but then squanders the remaining 400 billion, sharing it with his fellow cronies to the detriment of his subjects and you are here telling us to actually praise the governor for the works of the 100 billion when we know the person is a thief.

You see the problem with your logic?

donjazet:
That's why I get pissed at people trying to highlight the "good" parts of this government.

Which nonsense "good part" when every single citizen is feeling the heat of your bad governance.
I'm ready to stake 20k for any of this APC supporters to travel by road from Abuja to Kaduna, and then from Kaduna to sokoto. Let's see if you make it alive.

There was a viral post on Twitter yesterday where people shared a part of an old olu maintains song sang in the 2000s where someone in the video was complaining about the high cost of fuel at 40 naira per liter.
And everyone was laughing in the comments saying if only he saw the future he would be thanking God.

For 15 years prior to 2014, the dollar was stable and always averaging 150 naira such that when it got to 200 naira, there was massive outcry, today dollar is about to run to 1000 naira and propagandists here are trying to brainwash you telling you it's out of governments hand, is it not foolishness?

We are experiencing an oil boom right now but instead of Nigeria to enjoy like other oil producing countries, we can't do anything about it, instead our excess crude account has been emptied, our debta has ballooned beyond healthy levels, 90 percent of our budget is ran on borrowed funds while our earnings are used to pay debt.


After seeing the massive economic failure of this government, you still say Nigerians should reward and retain this government, you are a demon!!!

A pure demon!!!

Amoto94:

For a start how many barrel of oil are we producing per day?
Will economic growth happen overnight without investment in critical infrastructures like power, education, roads, ports, and security?
On economic diversification you can't diversify an economy overnight it takes years, careful planning, and growing pains.
How will you deal with the monstrous wage bill of civil/public service without incurring the wrath of the people who see government as their own pie of the national cake?
How about our bicameral legislatures who are eating fat with little or nothing to show for their existence?
These are challenges that we must confront and your man will be overwhelmed by them within months

A loaf of Bread in the US is $2.50. Convert it to Naira, then compare it to Nigeria Price. Inflation hits everyone and everywhere, not just Nigeria.

Let's be guided.
In the U.S. and around the world, inflation is high and getting higher.

My friend shut the hell up and stop being an unthinking propagandist!

All other government are taking steps to reduce the effects of inflation in their countries and have successfully done so, few months ago fuel was soo expensive in the west but it has consistently gone down for 2 months now due to government policies.

What has the Nigerian government done to alleviate and counter the effects of inflation, instead you have this sick decrepit old man even calling for more printing of the naira in order to make our currency lose all it's value kpata kpata.

You must be a big Foól to tell me that nonsense in bold. If you can't use your brain to reason and engage maturely and sensibly at your age, then definitely a Nut is missing somewhere.

Have you heard of quantitative easing? That's what Tinubu meant by printing more money to spend, it works in the shortwhile but it's not sustainable. Tinubu was speaking in Keynesian terms you can criticise it without dismissing it completely. My friend you have a lot to learn so that you won't come off as boastfully ignorant

donjazet:


Just imagine this absurdity.

If you ask me these questions, who I wan ask??

Did we not support and vote for these government to solve these problems?

Did Buhari and Tinubu not campaign to build new refineries, repair the existing ones and increase our oil output?
What happened??

Did this government not campaign on reducing the value of dollar to naira?

In 7 years, we have seen no increase AT ALL in power generation, instead it has gotten progressively worse.
So of what development do you talk about when insecurity and inflation is abound everywhere?

Do you know that all schools in Abuja are on lock down for close to a month now because of heightened insecurity challenges. This is the federal capital itself.
Is this not shameful?
