It is my own fault.
When you were busy running your mouth nko?
Nigerian leaders never take responsibility. Irresponsible group of people that pilot the affairs of this nation. I pity the youths who have decided to pay homage to this group of failures who have fail this country I the past and are still dictating the future for her. That why we aren’t moving forward but some stupid youths still make themselves tools in the hands of this old fools. Since 1960 till now the same set of people are still the problem of this nation
Mr. Fashola if the statement above is indeed made by you, then I must say I am very disappointed. I quite agree some aspect of our power system have been privatized, but that doesn’t mean you can not take action if these people are taking Nigerians for a ride. Second, you are the minister in charge of power, you have the ear of the president, why can’t you recommend away forward that will make power available to Nigerian? If the problem is as a result of sabotage occationed by pipeline vandalism, the nation can equally shift away from depending on gas. We know this require money and time, but the fast still remain that you must take the lead in all these.
A Government of denial, a government of blame, a government of mediocrity, a government of passing the buck, a government of unpreparedness, a government of directionlessness, a government of propaganda will also be a government of confusion! It is disappointing that have a leadership that does not have the leadership quality of taking responsibility! Propaganda is NOT everything. A father that always lies to his children has failed as a parent.
Naija don sofer,so na my fault to be a Naija.
We will review and take appropriate action.
