Pls , pls enough of this GEJ bullshit. Why are we all celebrating incompetence and corruption of this Administration? |
Re: Jonathan Will Be The Catalyst Of Change In Nigeria by madnigerian: 5:54pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
Eneze1: Yes, unfortunately Take for example, the appointment of vice chancellors in any Nigerian unviersity. You can be the first Nigerian president of Harvard in the US....and then you come home and offer your service to a Nigerian university. But, no they won't have you because you are not of the host tribe tribe...and by extension you will never allow them to chop money! Even if you are of the same tribe as the host...you must allow some chopping or else. Nigerians!....oil addicted, Dutch diseased economy! |

omanzo02: How do u expect GEJ to live up to full expectation with all the distractions and effort sabotage thrown in his path?, The cabals strategy is DON'T LET WORK SUCCESSFULLY and they won't give up without a fight, I foresaw this happening in 2011, it's Nigerians that should rally round GEJ to keep the cabals at bay, being the president and the powers at it disposals are not enough to win against the cabals, only when Nigerians are behind him the cabals will understand the game is over.one of the best posts so far. |

Afam4eva, I must first commend you for consistently maintaining a polite language and disciplined mien inspite of some provocative comments and abusive attacks on this thread. Kudos. You are one of the few lone voices of decorum on this forum. May you produce more of your kind! To the topic, I quite agree that the political state of a nation largely defines its economic and developmental life. However, I am not convinced GEJ is sincere enough to wear the shoes you graciously bequeath him. I rather think his recent squabbles with OBJ is a fall out of the latter's threat to his ambition. His pretentious corruption crusade, his little economic growth stories, and his fight with some of the old cargoes are all targeted at returning to power. GEJ, like most- if not all- Nigerian politicians are all about personal interests, and not our common interest. |

Saintp:am not supporting anybody APC or PDP am just saying we don't look for good leaders in this country. We always support the old n popular politicians as if we don't have an option. is dere anything wrong with Nigerians going out in mass to vote for a little known party with a little known candidate with a good manifesto. |

Re: Jonathan Will Be The Catalyst Of Change In Nigeria by Emperor007: 7:04pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
Soverign or National Conference is long over due. GEJ should pull it through ( national conference that would be validated via referendum, NASS shouldn't be the body to decide for Nigerians ) and for ever write his name in gold. . |

True words! Jonathan is a classic case of "lesser of two evils". Nigeria's wealth has been controlled & plundered by the same set of people, these same people have been hovering around the political scene for decades. While Jonathan presence does create some kind of equilibrium, in my opinion I must say Jonathan has failed to address the pertinent issues plaguing the country. Poverty is at an all time high, no jobs, education is in a dilapidated state, no security, terrorism, corruption, instead, he chases after trivialities like cassava bread, bullet proof cars..... it seems Jonathan is interested in only elevating the lives of his kith & kin. It really sad Nigeria hasn't got great revolutionaries, people who could bring about drastic change by any means possible. Nigeria needs a violent clean-up, so much toxic in the form of old, clueless, corrupt leaders past & present, these guys are cancerous to Nigeria's well being. |
Re: Jonathan Will Be The Catalyst Of Change In Nigeria by TonySpike: 7:24pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
In Nigeria, our leaders are full of empty and vain promises. I've spent 5 days, so far, in this country and I've only been 'opportuned' to experience electricity for just a total of 12 hours. This is just about 10% efficiency and actually very disappointing. Still, I wonder why some nincompoops keep yelling "Fresh air". So sickening... |
Re: Jonathan Will Be The Catalyst Of Change In Nigeria by DonaldGenes(m): 7:29pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
On a flipside,my only real concern about GEJ reign is that corruptions seems to be the order of the day.okay,let me explain further Morally and literally speaking, I expected GEJ to simply ask any of his minister fingered or alleged to be corrupting his ot herself to resign honourable-But the reverse is the case, His 'Body language' is telling us that he can't exert his power in issues like that. I don't have the strenght to talk abeg. To whom power is given,much is expected of' |

luvinhubby: If there is one shift that I have observed under Goodluck, it is the wider acceptability of elections conducted under his watch, starting from the 2010 Anambra elections to the last one. The elections, so far, clearly reflects the opinion of the vast majority in the areas conducted.I think you have some points here even though I do no support GEJ blindly like some people do. I love him as a person but not his style of administration. But I subscribe that many of our leaders are fighting him today not because of the interest they have for we the masses, but for their selfish reasons. |
Re: Jonathan Will Be The Catalyst Of Change In Nigeria by theoctopus: 9:42pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
What I like about this thread is the fact that it has sent the Tinubu worshippers into a frenzy and a spiral! Why? Because they have used a worng strategy to sell APC to the masses and that strategy is going to be their undoing. Even in a thread like this, they keep makin statements like GEJ is a massive failure. Guess what? It is coming back to hunt them. As the masses get to know more and more of GEJ's achievements, they begin to see these APC folks as liar and deceivers who have been selling them falsehood just to bring GEJ down. The reverse effect of that is a new and growing hatred for APC. All over social media, the new question is "I thought they said GEJ has done nothing". Anytime a new project is showcased, the same question is echoed by many. Those who travelled for the Christmas season and passed through good roads for the first time in many years almost can believe it. They cant reconcile what they are seeing on the ground with what the papers have been printing as headlines. The end result will be only one thing. It will turn into big hatred for APC soon. The APC should have pushed a new ideology for Nigeria instead of a war against Jonathan. They would have subtly admitted GEJ's stride while promising they will do much better and who how they would. But their whole campaign has been one way: that is, GEJ is a total failure and a devil and we want the power to return to the north. The only thing that kind of campaign will achieve is a division of Nigeria along tribal, religious and regional lines and there are now only two possible outcomes. 1. Either GEJ wins and continues (because the APC cannot and will not win) and the cabal will forever be shut out or 2. they push things to the extreme and Nigeria implodes. Either way, the Niger Delta and other Nigerian minorities will still emerge winners. 1 Like |

Donalð Genes: On a flipside,my only real concern about GEJ reign is that corruptions seems to be the order of the day.okay,let me explain further Most of you who make this kind of statements say it out of ignorance or just trying to follow the trend. What do you mean by corruption used to be the order of the day? Actually, corruption is far less now than it has ever been. The difference now is that things are more open. You never heard of most of the massive corruption under OBJ because they were well covered and shielded. Most of the corruption accusations against OBJ came out during the Yaradua a years. People like FFK were very corrupt but were completely shielded during the OBJ rule. No on ehad access to government documents and no one could see the complete budget items. Now, we can all see it. For example, someone wrote that GEJ was spending so much on food. The question is, did OBJ spend less? Did Yaradua spend less? The answer is no. They actually spent much more. But the difference is that, unlike back then, you now know the actual figures spent. Does that mean there is more corruption now. Absolutely NO. What you have now is more transparency and openess in government 4 Likes |

People are so bent on something that no matter how u reason with them, they can never learn or understand or change their opinion. Think of issues like football, politics, religious beliefs etc, these r examples of daily issues that no two persons will ever agree about. So no need to argue here in nairaland. Well its what makes nairaland interesting. Now to the op, y'all shud take a breath n understand him. Those saying we have tried PDP let's now try APC., the reason Gej is there is by chance. There never knew, so it actually was a mistake made by these cabals, a mistake they will b too careful never to repeat.just watch out. Every president and vice president will now b someone they trust. The never really bothered about loyalty when it comes to VP. So they put Jonathan there as figure head. Now he's showing them pepper they r ranting like fowl wey hawk carry it's chicks. This mistake will never happen again, bet me n we will never have a president that is a common person like Jonathan. Una go keep trying to vote but it will never work. Vote for God's kingdom as the only solution to mankind's problems. 2 Likes |
Re: Jonathan Will Be The Catalyst Of Change In Nigeria by theoctopus: 10:03pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
How can anyone say lets try APC? Are they knew to power? Is Buhari, Atiku, El Rufai, Fashola, etc new to power? Dont they have a pedigree we can look to? Tinubu has become a modern day gangster reapind Lagos to pieces and someone says we should try him at the center? Buhari has been a bigot for over 40 years and still counting and was a big crook under the PTF era even supporting Abacha eveil reign and massive corruption, yet someone says we should try him? Fashola has been a despot for 7 yars, stealing Lagos blind and whitewashing everywhere and someone says we should try him? What a joke. Now, to make matter really worse, APC has gone to meet IBB, Atiku and OBJ to come steer their ship. This is such a big joke. I have only one question for APC folks. What does a political marriage of Buhari, Tinubu, IBB, Atiku, OBJ hope to produce? How can such a political alliane produce a change in Nigeria? Please just tell me how? |

mikeansy: if Jonathan improves electricity this year he will win re-electionEven if GEJ tackles electricity successfully they will come up with another excuse to try to vote him out, that's why most state govts in the SW and some parts of the North are not doing anything to improve power generally in their reegion. I marvel at the way their counterparts in the SS and SE are making Giant strides in the power development of their states, and its visible to all. GEJ will win the 2015 P.Elections not because of mere sentiments but because most Nigerians would see him as the best chance of restructuring Nigeria again and changing her from the old order, any new president would come across as a new thief with the intention to start stealing from the scratch. |
