If you translate GEJ from being an Ijaw man into any tribe from the Southwest or North central Nigeria, so many peoples eyes will be opened to these truths glaring them at their faces .
Simple, it is not about performance, but tribe & religion has blinded the eyes of a lot in Nigeria & that's pathetic.

We know how NEPA and the Police used to rank as the top 2 most corrupt institutions in Nigeria. Deregulating and privatising the electricity distribution sector went a long way in reducing the level of corruption in Nigeria.
Ironically, privatising NEPA was something Obasanjo (who some people worship) made to look like rocket science.
GEJ didn't just do it, he paid every staff of NEPA from top to bottom their entitlements in full, many of them were still re-absorbed by the new companies even after getting huge pay offs.
Tell me why those guys will not vote for GEJ.

That is y they want him out by hook or by crook
he has really reduced their source of looting and made them broke.

I watched the signing of abuja accord today and the candidates where asked to speak on the best way to avoid electoral violence. only 3 candidates spoke on point. buhari just went off topic he started discussing how 2011 election was rigged and all that.

How can he stop what he does not know or understand?
cor·rup·tion\kə-ˈrəp-shən\
noun
: dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers)
: the act of corrupting someone or something
: something that has been changed from its original form
Full Definition
1 a : impairment of integrity, virtue, or moral principle : depravity
b : decay, decomposition
c : inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means (as bribery)
d : a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct
2 archaic : an agency or influence that corrupts


Where are the monies saved and regained? We are unfortunately entrenched deeper in more untraceable thefts and dishonesty. Dishonesty and illegal behavior still thrives in all government sectors. Bribery still remains a norm. The customs, airports, wharf, road safety, driver's license, goods clearing, immigration, police, job application etc are all riddled with corruption. Where is the money collected from abacha and all the efcc monies? Why is substandard the normal thing in importation? These are general questions that affect the public, not paper.

The opposition is programmed to oppose the government of the day.

Even if na Obama, APC will still call him a failure.


Imagine sacking Mourinho to employ Wenger
If Wenger is capable of spending 80 million pounds on just two players like Mourinho am sure he will be as good as Mourinho in terms of visible success. Every manager is as good as his players and budget.

Politics is competition for power, no boxer has ever said that his opponent is good, better or will beat him. If the opposition should tell the ruling that they are doing well, what you got left is a one party system.
A true democratic environment is measured not by the size of ruling party or government but the vibrancy of the opposition to freely contest for power.

The people who are clamouring for change from apc are likely to be people whose parents, relatives, or friends were either the ghost workers, fertilizer thieves and the criminals charged by EFCC. Even a blind man can feel the transformation of the GED led administration. I can understand the pain and frustration of these anti GEJ buharists. In order to feel fresh air, the air waves must be fumigated. GEJ came in and fumigated the air and in the course of that, killed alot of pests and rodents (APC e-rats) hence their cry for change by a sick scare-crow cattle rearer.

Sharrap Nigerians have not gotten poorer, it is only people like you waiting for handouts aka almajiri type of welfare that are getting poorer.

When the govt introduced EED and Small scale business studies in tertiary institutions irrespective of the course and active vocational and skill acquiring programs all over the nation, they want you to help yourself a bit. Make use of Sure-P programme, check out You-Win, be creative and seek their help you will get it.
Learn something, however small and start somewhere.
