My own is that, don't these politicians travel abroad and see how things are done. Baba has traveled the globe, the governors and ministers have all gone abroad to witness how things work but they all chose to be stupid. How hard is it to better the lives of your citizens.. they get to power and only want to secure their pockets and the future of their children.
Five years is enough to actually do something significant.. five years and you still constructing rail lines in a route no bigger than some states in other countries.
How hard is it to investigate murders or tell SARS to stop killing young boys or order the military or police to respect civilian rights.. It's not even possible when they have turned a whole DSS to a kidnapping organisation.
The blame goes round as our governors are equally incompetent... It's time we stopped demanding less from these politicians and hold them accountable for everything. They have done nothing and deserves no praise..
Every issue is important, a government that turns blind eye on killings happening in the country whether by Police, Army, Herdsmen and so on surely don't care about it's citizens.
24 hours light dey sweet, driving on good roads is heaven, going to the police station an they give you your balance after you paid 50 dollars for something is Nice... That's after greeting you how are you sir when you entered..
Having Ambulance come pick you up in less than five minutes of calling shouldn't be that hard to do, doctors go soon japa finish from our country cos the difference is clear abroad.
Make I Siddons chop the 600k in naira I was paid by the government and school.... It's nothing compared to tuition fees but then ... All they wanted was for us to show we still schooling.. I didn't have to belong to any political party or come from Katsina...

They can't manipulate an enlightened population. This is why they're not interested in making the difficult decisions to change how things work in this country. What they prefer to do is plastering the cracks. A new government comes in and the cracks are exposed

I am all for states to remit a percentage of the revenue they generate to the center and not the centre getting everything and sharing to states wherein a state that isn't contributing or contributing little becomes a leech.

When you talk about security in the current structure, I will love to know why then the governors get security votes when the usual excuse is that they don't have any control the security apparatus. Doesn't it sound crazy to you?

I think it's the constitution that's faulty here. The security votes may be to pay salaries or whatever but an order from the igp office supercedes that of a governor. We have seen this play out a couple of times

We should have been wise enough to see the same old crooks preaching change.. I guess people were expecting Buhari to actually perform, they didn't know baba came to enjoy
These guys will kill and destroy to ensure they remain in power.. They know your vote won't count, so they'll do whatever they want

patrickmuf:
I haven't and I know it's difficult to act otherwise in such scenario but for a change, we have to take the bull by the horn. When we are ready, people will damn the consequence when they have to.

Dont you think you need to know the consequences you're asking these people to damn first? What if it involves their life and those of their family members and associates? Have you sat down to think about this?

I've seen people have their lives ruined for crossing the powers that be. I've experienced some aspect of this personally. Its noble and good to damn the consequences, but you need to first know the consequences you're damning and the repercussions that will surely follow my brother.

Nobody go protect you o! It's either you avoid anything linked to government or ready die ontop when you enter and choose not to play games.

Even when I worked as a presiding electoral officer in the north, INEC during the training told us to do what will save our lives first when we find ourselves in situations which we are asked to compromise on our integrity.

NOTE: They didn't tell anyone to say yes or no to these requests, they say assess the situation and do what will save ur life.

Of course, they wont tell you what to do directly. Tbh....thats the reason why they've chosen to use smart graduates who can read between the lines.

Regarding the census issue.

Look at this image and infer something.

We have a large population, yes. But our population has been inflated.

We aren't up to 250 million in Nigeria.

The picture you posted suggests that Nigeria and few other countries have estimated total population of 250m.

Right now, estimated population of Nigeria is between 190m and 210m. This is actually possible, can you estimate the population of Kano alone? We all know how Northerners are, there are tens of millions of almajiris in the north.

Before I left Lagos, a BDC owner (a bit literate) was occupying the next flat, this guy has 5 wives, 2 in Lagos, 3 in the north. Guess how many children he has, 14. One Hausa family with 20 members.

So, the range makes sense to me, the actual number could be slightly higher though.

Can we say any of these guys the entire top 10 was a success in their time till date

patrickmuf:
Nigeria's problem isn't about Buhari or the APC, it's Nigerians. You participate in a survey and because of money, you falsify data and still you blame the government, who is the government?

Your respective state governors collect millions in security votes yet they do nothing with it yet all the blame goes to the centre.

During the campaigns, Nigerians are more interested in what politicians has to offer in cash and other material benefits rather than what he has to offer and how he intends to achieve his plans. Pray tell, do you expect someone to buy a nomination form for over 20m, spend billions consulting the who is who and buying rice, Maggi, tomatoes as well as cash gifts for the masses not to recoup his cash? Even I will seek to recoup my money. It's not rocket science that these things have a corresponding ripple effect on out collective development. Nigerians need to change the criteria we use to evaluate our leaders and that way, rather than cash gifts, we will begin to ask probing questions bordering on what their manifestos is all about, how they intend to achieve them and when...Not what is obtainable now where someone comes up and offers wads of cash to people and when given the mic, begins to make lofty promises that aren't SMART.

Another area of concern is how to unbundled our present political party platforms. Personally, I will prefer independent candidature because before you get the ticket of PDP or APC, you will have to give in to the demands of evils men.

Regarding the present administration, I will say I am really disappointed in PMB, I genuinely had high hopes when he was elected in 2015 but as at 2019, it was as clear as daylight that he didn't have it in him to deliver the change he promised and that's why I opted for Sowore.

In spite of my general assessment of the present administration, I still score them well above average in some indicators and that's why I love to read from Larride. He is informed about what is happening and even though I really don't agree with all his points, I appreciate the time he takes out to provide useful information here and I encourage others to go about disagreement with him in a rational manner.

In all, we are still a long way off dreamland as religion and ethnicity remains veritable tools in the hands of our oppressors.

I will respond to this later please remind me

Why won't it be so? There's a security issue, they have to run to Abuja. The IGP can even refuse to obey the governors if he wants. The governors have to go to Abuja to collect money every time.

Let the states generate their revenue and be in charge of it. They can be sending some percentage to the federal instead of the other way round. You will see how states will sit up and nobody bothers abuja again on major issues. But we're not ready for this talk yet

We need serious Police reforms, the fear of a discentralized Police in the hands of our State Governor gives me serious concerns but we must find a way to do community policing.

Just imagine state police under someone like Wike.

I witnessed what went down during the last Census and I can confirm that the numbers were mostly fabricated.

Of course I know. I was counted twice.

Except federal government can step in when the governors abuse that power.. State police should not even be in the discussion for now.. People like El rufai, wike and any Lagos Tinubu will just abuse it.. Funny thing is Lagos is the only state that can have one, but police men will turn to ballot snatchers during election
No mind my joke

If it is backed by law, there’s nothing the FG will be able to do about it. Community policing is the way forward but how are we going to achieve this?

Look at RRS in Lagos, to a large extent they are the model which other police unit should emulate.

His town people will checkmate him by theirselves unless they're not ready. That's their problem. We have been having this fear for years now but no fear from the federal abi? The country can't be held hostage by some set of people. We can have federal and state police.

Community policing can hardly be good solution in a country like Nigeria.

Was that one real??

I can remember them coming to my house

truth is, I encountered them twice. One being in the village. I had two relatives who were part of those that did the work.
