1) With the recent surge of support for APC among the most corrupt in our society , now is time for PDP to reform itself , GEJ/PDP should create a body within PDP ( elder's body) to be charged with nomination of credible electoral candidates, from Councillors to state governors.

with the recent de-campees from PDP to APC, GEJ should work with the various PDP local body to get their various representative areas to recall their legislators, thereby ensuring an election. then this time PDP should field a committee chosen credible, educated, principled and upright citizens to contest the election on behalf of the party.

2) change the IRC inland revenue commission head, put a young, strong-minded , diligent, non-Yoruba personnel- Yorubas are never tough on corruption or on diligent tough operation due to their hereditary cultural infused nature of "easily swayed by pleads and begs" , there could be exceptions though.

Now, this new IRC is to enforce the IRC mandate, the IRC is charge to collect the revenues accrued from all state and to share it accordingly to the constituted sharing formula.
this singular action will break TINUBU - chief financier of the opposition . ( this would reduce the opposition financial strength to rig the election and buy poor Yoruba voter as they are planning.


3) GEJ should support AKwaibom in speedy completion of the IBAKA deep seaport and access road to Aba: this is posed to decapitate the economic strength of the largest opposition governed state-Lagos.
40% of activities in lagos is owed to the only functioning wharf in the country. This singular act would decrease the tax earning of lagos state by 20% within the first year and 40% by the second year.


4) Designate portharcourt - Nigerians oil city, with allocation of FTZ at onne , and mandate oil companies to base their HQ in their operation areas. This would within the first year, take away 30% of corporate taxes Lagos state gets. and drastically reduce the economic powers of teh state.
inorder to facilitate the speedy relocation of these companies, the government should acquire land, and build a new finacial city in Okirika by the River front, ( dame patience would be gladdened.) the chinese could accomplish this with 12 month period, then the oil companies would simply have to rent and lease the building and spaces.



5) close to 2015, say march of next year- 2 months to election, sponsor a Lawyer , probably a minority - definitely a non-igbo,even a midbeltern to sue Fashola for deportation of Igbos from Lagos, make the papers and TV carry the news, give it minute reporting. this would remind the Igbos and at large the wider minority population of lagos of the evils and potential evils of APC .

Find the deportees, to narrate their accounts on sunday live, with indepth , Hollywood style narration with sorrowful heart-breaking sound bites.


6) create a website to document all the administrative's achievement, use a foreign tv media, maybe someone who has worked at national geography channel, to produced a hd , detailed documentation of your achievement. post it on youtube and facebook. and have weekly updates posted to the website. Then promote the website aggressively on google, such that it comes first on everybody's search result.


7) get the new EFCC to charge the king pins of APC to court, this is not to persecute them as they will fight tooth and nail , delay the judgement till 2057,However, with detail irrefutable evidence, detailed accounts of their crime and looting, clear evidence of the money transfers, clear physical evident of the contract scams Nigerians would come to realize what APC truly means and plans for Nigeria.

Atiku is not yet in Forbes list when his juniors and boys are all smashing the list yearly, he so desperately want to be in, Adamawa is a poor state , the only way he could possibly be on it is by getting to the presidency. He knows this, and that is why he is throwing his feet and legs in the APC project.


(Eight) APC officials are 92% muslims, if Rochas is accounted as a muslim as he is actively and positively winning souls for mohammed than Jesus, then the percentage would come up to be 94%.
I hate Religion, both and all, hpwever this is politics, everyrhi g counts.

With the recent surge in Yoruba wonder miracle churches, GEJ/PDP should rally target the youruba christans and church-goers of these churches and win them over.

This could be achieved easily by erecting bill boards exposing the religous structure of the APC, around the mega church center

A few months to the election, precisely around thw month of Febuary next year, plant testimonials in the churches.

Have a pre-informed members give testimonials on sunday , narrating they had visions/a revelation of 1st of june 2015, APC had won the election, and imported fresh killer mallams from the north, chad, and Niger into lagos, and how APC killed his family and burnt his area because of their refusal to denounce xtainity. He and other xtains were sacked from work and made to where a patches to identify themselves as the moved about in the streets. And hence they faced overwhelming abuse and persecution. .

Within the two months this tale would have spread like while fire.

Have these some of the testimonial broadcasted on the satellite channels of these churches for rapid unhindered spread.

This action, would jolt prople to remember the havoc unleashed by CPC party on the nation after having lost tge election. Now that same CPC is an active half of the this new party . The so called progressive. APC.

Most of what you wrote is for the wrong reasons and also shortsighted akin to throwing out the baby with the bathwater!

You actually want to give IGR from one state to another just to make another state weaker? Lol Think about this for a second; what you’re saying is akin to sharing your salary, after years of hard work and labor, with everyone including conductors, bricklayers, welders, hairdressers, bankers, engineers, doctors, brats, etc. Then what motivation is there to work hard and/or excel? Why not just party one’s life away since one’s reward will be the same as those that worked hard?

You actually want a strong opposition because they will always keep the party in power on their toes. No one party should have monopoly to the presidency; otherwise, nonchalance will set in. If my lofty position today is credibly threatened based on my performance, you better believe that I'll do everything possible to improve my performance.

If GEJ and PDP want to remain in power, their co-existing path is relatively easier to traverse than that of the opposition because all they need to do is give you reasons why the status quo should remain. If the country is better most people would rather have GEJ complete a second term than replace him with someone largely unknown. Why change what is not broken?

Anothe an1mal on the loose... Lemme just siddon for one corner dey watch film....

d thread is as clueless as pdp.

So the most corrupt party in Africa - PDP - still have proud supporters?

PDP = Holding Nigeria down since time "Imo River".

Having meticulously and painstakingly glanced through your write-up, I am indeed tempted to allude that you are a product of idleness and disillusion that has adversely affected your low thinking faculty.
To have sheerly waisted time and energy in giving medication to an already dead political party that has since lost touch with credible policies and actions that would have brought qualitative smiles on the faces of the down trodden Nigerians, only goes to show that you a prophet of doom, an architect of mass destruction and a waiste to firstly yourself, whatever you stand for, your parents who took it upon themselves to ensure you are educated and humanity at large.
In lieu to the foregoing, I humbly submit that you visit the nearest rehabilitation centre for an indebt assessment of your mental state. Thanks.

my brother i dont know what the revenue sharing formular is, but i believe there is one, and the revenue is meant to be shared.

in UK, for instance, every councils revenue goes to the Queen , from where is it distributed as per agreed sharing formula.

same in the US.

same in Nigeria too.

where do you think the money that built FESTAC, Apapa, 1001, Third mainland bridge , Apapa wharf, Victoria island, bar beach- both claiming and reclaiming the land came from ? from Niiger delta oil right ?

yeah when it went to Lagos, your type won't complain and ask for a reasonable share to be given to the residents of the land the oil comes out from.

yes, you are somewhat right, PDP was dead and buried as it lost touch with the reality on ground.

However , that was before FRESH AIR.

now the dead is beginning to rise.

dead bones has began to replenish

dead heart has began to stir

all we need now is continuation of the policy that is nurturing this amazing impressive miracle.

There is no gain shedding tears over spilt milk. So also the broken china plate can never at any time be amended. Are you asking eligible and credible Nigerian voters to go against there conscience and vote the PDP once more simply because it is now shedding crocodile tears?
Why would they(PDP) have folded their arms all this while and turned deaf ears on the wishes of the suffering electorates not until its electioneering era once more?
You know what, PDP is dead, and buried for good. What you are doing now is smear campaign of calumny. You have sold your conscience for mere peanuts and bread crumbs.
Nigerians are wiser now and come 2015, we'll vote wisely and not just that, we'll safeguard our votes to make sure it counts this time.
Fellow Nigerians, its time we join the band wagon of revolution and vote out the tyrannical, clueless and corruption-prone GEJ from power. Thanks and God bless Nigeria. Amen

Thank you once again for wanting to learn, i will teach you.

my brethren,

PDP was a corrupt, nasty, evil , murderous party .

A party that its member killed Bola ige

A party that its member kill sekibo

A party that its member defrauded Nigerians of the First national ID card.

A party that its member embezzled police fund

A party that its member embezzled the pension fund.

why on earth would anybody want to vote for such a party again ?


ANSWER : ALL THOSE THAT COMMITTED THE ABOVE LISTED CRIMES HAVE NOW LEFT PDP , AND ARE ALL NOW IN APC !

The new FRESH AIR PDP's manifest can no longer tolerate them.

these crime-goons are no longer comfortable with the new PDP where election loss is taken in good fate. no more DO or DIE election

What exactly happens in the US that bears any similarity to anything you said? Are you referring to the federal tax structure whereby entities pay a federal tax? Isn’t the same done in Nigeria? Do you even know what IGR is? Isn't IGR mostly generated from taxation (and fees)?

Do you know that personal Income Tax, Corporate income tax, Social Security Contributions, Tertiary education trust fund contribution, Training Tax, Capital gains tax, Tax on money market interest, Tenement Tax, Stamp duty on checks, Road license, State business levy, Infrastructure Development Tax, and Value added tax (VAT) are currently being collected in Nigeria?

sorry about the "your type " usage , USA is never a good metric for nigeria, USA is a union of different states , states = countries.

Now take UK, which is about same size as Nigeria.

every tax except council tax goes to the Her Royal Majesty Revenue and customs - HMRC , from there is it then shared to every council as agreed in the sharing formula.

London generates about 30% of the revenue in the country, she only get about 10% , it is governed by a sharing formula based on population and revenue.

Garri the 1st:

PDP is a congregation of thieves and Murderers....

...that left and formed APC @OP APC will break themselves when they introduce their presidential candidate...

Dahomey Amazon: Pdp self they for Saint the devil is a lair

saint ? PDP is simply a party. what made it evil -- the Obasanjo's , Atiku's etc are all firmly rooted in APC

You've got some valid points in there but could be presented better.

This is the most stupid thread on Nairaland.com by the way, Do you think the igbos matter in Nigeria of Today? Maybe you forgot that there are 6 regions and Igbo is just one. 5 states out of 36 states

London generates about 30% of the revenue in the country, she only get about 10% , it is governed by a sharing formula based on population and revenue.

Actually, the US is a better metric because Nigeria's constitution was modeled after theirs; same 3 tiers of government at the Federal and state levels (executive, legislative, and judicial branches). We have to look towards them to see what works and what doesn't after all they've had over 200 years to perfect the system. Also, very much like Nigeria, they are made up of states that want to be autonomous.

Where we screwed up is in the sharing of oil money made from one section of the country with other sections. It made most states complacent and lazy. Whether or not they work or make a dime, they’re getting paid. Niger Delta should keep their money but pay taxes to the federal government. Although, the federal government should also be in charge of granting drilling licenses if federal lands are involved.

Income is supposed to flow from the bottom (local government and states) to the top (federal government) through taxation.

However, in times of extraordinary need and for projects that benefit the collective whole, the federal government should finance or contribute to such endeavor.

If states are made to earn their keep, those who cannot survive will starve and/or merge with other states; however, for most states, their survival instinct will kick in and they’ll find a way to generate income.

Every state can’t be prosperous much like how some states in the US are poorer and rely more on the federal government for subsidy, e.g. Maryland vs. Mississippi or West Virginia.

If this happens, states will be forced to go back to whatever they did before the advent of easy oil money.

strangest: ...that left and formed APC @OP APC will break themselves when they introduce their presidential candidate...

Yea and they left behind Alams, Bode George and co.......

Mumu dey smell follow you like fresh 5hit....
