Same old story In their days, They got employed before their graduation, They needed just their interest to be sponsored to school, They needed just credibility to be given Government appointment, They needed just interest, accountability and popularity to be elected into Government positions, They were all given fair weather to enhance their living. BUT Only for them to have achieved their aims in life, They destroyed the atmosphere for us today and told us we are the leaders of tomorrow but we have passed countless numbers of tomorrow in life, so when is the exact tomorrow coming? However, we are truly born leaders therefore, I urge you that has given a thought to these facts to stand and face the challenge auspiciously because we were promised the leaders of tomorrow and that tomorrow is now, we must lead because the young must grow.

9. Implementing the National Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) to aid economic recovery, taking the country out of her worst recession in 29 years, despite fall in oil prices. This one got me. Who took d economy aground in the first place? and in their imagination the economy is up and going. Yahaya Bello and Ben Ayade will be wiser than this. 2 Likes |

I hear people saying why they went after ipob nd I wonder what their problems are. I see going after ipob as a proactive step in stopping the events that would have taken place if ipob were not stopped. Funny enough, we all know of the threat from the Northern youths. Putting a stop to Kanu's madness completely neutralised that threat and I'm grateful to the President for that... Happy Independence my people 1 Like 1 Share |

How many people actually watched this on TV? Anyways let's continue the list: 58. Unconstitutional operation of the python dance 59. Selective corruption fighting. 60. Zero accountability as per the TSA. 61. Zero accountability for acclaimed recovered looted funds. 62. Media trials and media prosecutions 63. Media propaganda as regards the true state of the economy 64. Thinking Nigerians are stupid by presenting a meager 57 points as achievements with most of them repetitions. 9 Likes |

In other words, what he said did not appeal to me Tell us how you want to solve our challenges, tell us you got a plan and how you will go about it... Not the same old same old abeg 7 Likes |
