CONTINUITY, CONTINUITY AND COMPLETE HEMLESS CONTINUITY from one administration to the next is the ONLY proven way for a country to move forward economically and in all respects. IT IS A SINE QUA NON FOR A COUNTRY'S PROGRESS as is witnessed in all developed countries in the world. The last time I strongly voiced it in my comments, I used Britain as an example when the administration changes from conservative to labour or vice versa, CONTINUATION IS RIGIDLY MAINTAINED. As witnessed in Nigeria today, instead of the present administration and the law makers maintaning the continuity of the impetus on progress made by the former administration, they decided to face backwards with the obvious concomitance that the country is seemingly sliding backward in all respects. One of the obvious results of this was made public by the speaker of the House, Bankole, when he pointed out that, with only 11 legislations passed for about one year, the output or performance of the Senate is deplorably far below expectation. With all the problems facing the country, one would have expected the Senate with patriotic members who really understand what the country requires to pass as many as 200 legislations in a year. The country is really sliding backwards. WHERE WILL IT END?
obasanjo should shut up and instead return all the money he stole from us just like the others(babangida,gowon,abdusalami,etc)We don,t want to hear any solutions coming from the mouth of the devils who put us in the mess in the first place.We assure them all that nemesis will surely catch up with you old, shameless,corrupt idiots,shut up, we don,t need your advice.
there should be a law of continuity in nigeria. i am not an obasanjo supporter, but in life, what is right is good for every body. let the lawmakers, make it a criminal offence for anybody, in office, to discard any good idea from his predecessor. this will enable us to try any govt. that wastes nigeria's resources out of hate, or ethnic sentiments. this will ensure there is continuity of programs in this country. help move the country forward. if the incoming administration wastes more time on nipp, the costs, will be enormous. while the probe is going on, let their be forward implementers of the positive programs. this is very importatant, to avoid duplications of costs, efforts, etc. thanks. girl candy 53.
