barcanista: Seriously, I think you should follow your lady's step and I enjoin ALL Nairaland progressives in the interest of peace and once shared love to extend the olive branch as well and we should all be back as that great once happy fellow. Shit happens along the line at times and that doesn't change the fact that you did lots of work( even more than some of us) like other progressives on this forum in projecting the candidature of Buhari/APC. I never lost that soft spot for you even though I felt disappointed but trust me Bacarnista is still Bacarnista to me. 2 Likes |

barcanista: What is "anti"? To you tandroids, opposition is discussing GMB's alleged barring of AIT(even though they practised unprofessional journalism) and ignoring the damning PWC audit report. When you oppose the government, you are against it n when you are against the govt, you are anti government. 2 Likes |

barcanista: APC is not anti-government because even you yourself knows for real that GEJ create the avenue for people to go against him through maladministration and the the utterances of the people he choose to work with him . His personal incompetency and inability to control his cabinet and his open promotion of ethno-religious politics led to his downfall and the barrage of criticism against him. Lots of us queue behind him when the cabals tried to hold him to ransom during the period of Yar'adua's incapacitation and death (even GMB wrote the NASS to allow the the rule of law take its course by empowering Jonathan to step into the saddle ) but the man surprisingly blew all his goodwill on the altar of mismanagement, gross incompetence and his naivety. 1 Like |

pickabeau1:I tell people that the last election was not an election but a referendum of how GEJ and by extension PDP has performed. It was obvious that people had lost faith in them and could not wait to see then leave. I find it sad that people come here to claim it was a tribal conspiracy forgetting that in 2011, a lot of people voted GEJ and he had sk much good will. In the 2011 presidential election, I did not vote or support anyone cos I did not see anyone sensible enough because based on GEJ's administration as a governor, he had nothing to show but a lot of people were swayed by the campaign and the "I am voting Gej not PDP". But this time, they saw that GEJ is not what they thought and hoped (which I had seen) and he just had to go. When people say it is cos he is from a certain tribe I just SMH. Away from this, The San Antonio Spurs are about to give me heart attack 1 Like |

MizMyColi this couldn't have been communicated any better. If I had any iota of bad blood against the incoming government, this write up would have locked me up in the solitary confinement of inner reflection. I have always maintained a level of neutrality even though I did not totally support GEJ or GMB during the pre-electoral campaigns. Be it as it may Nigerians have gone to the polls and made their choice. The peoples choice emerged victorious and a very noble & honourable man was quick to concede defeat even before the final declaration. We must all know that as a Nation the incoming government would only thrive if we continually give them our maximum support. We have an "amplitude" of 4 years to support, constructively criticise and score the performance of this incoming government. While it might be an "African thing" to constantly kick against that which we do not understand or accept, I implore every well meaning Nigerian to join forces and receive this government wholeheartedly. We would continually give them our support, keep them on their toes and let them know that the change we voted for wasn't just a switch from the PDP to the APC. Let us all remember that Nigeria would be built only by Nigerians. God bless the Fed Rep Of Nigeria!! *** Modified *** The OPs write up deserves to be on the FP, if not for anything, let it preach peace, cause deeper reflection and quell any form of fued against the incoming govt.

MizMyColi: "a position of near neutrality and objectivity" That is the spirit, as one of the biggest supporters of buhari, i will adopt this position too. I will watch, Criticise and praise accordingly, after all that's our role as citizens. Great write up sis. 2 Likes 1 Share |

pickabeau1:They had an easy draw with Pelicans who are the only playoffs team I know that can throw away a 17 point lead with just 4.17 left in the 4th quarter. Spurs won!!!! Series is at 3-2 and game 6 in San Antonio. We should just finish this game abeg. My heart don nearly fail |

MizMyColi: First, please accept my sincere congratulations for your bold step towards neutrality and readiness for constructive criticism. We don't know what damage pure hatred borne out of tribe/religion bigotry for other people can do to our soul and affect our behavior. I have always known you to be a very intelligent lady. Remember my reply to one of your recent posts when I alluded to that? I reproduce it here for a reference: PassingShot: I noticed that your reply to that post was a sign of resignation and I decided to let it slide. Unfortunately, you're not the only one caught up in this type of mess but you have joined a few who are ready to be patriotic and support the govt of the day while offering prayers on their behalf. Congratulations once more. Lastly, I personally will welcome any constructive criticism of the incoming government. In fact, I have stated it many times here that should GMB start to take wrong steps, I will be actively involved in such criticism on all social media that I use, to make his govt do the right thing. I believe this is how we need to behave in order to move our nation forward and not by making threads upon threads on baseless issues like the inauguration committee and how Buhari is similar to Obasanjo while living out real issues such as the PWC Audit report. Mogidi, Dearpreye, Eurobomber, SeverusSnape and other PDP/GEJ sympathizers, please take a cue from Mizmycoli and be more constructive in your criticism here. Cheers! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

My heartfelt appreciation goes to all of you who have graced the thread. More gratitude to those who have dropped words of encouragement, to those who have chosen to tow a path of near objectivity and neutrality. Special thanks to Kinglekan Obiagelli Passingshot Barcanista Kaboninc Urine Pickabeau1! Luxanne!!!!! Apparently, I'm missing out monikers.

SeverusSnape: MizMyColi: How can one use others' misbehavior as justification to misbehave? Can one use the fact that his neighbor is a thief as an excuse to engage in stealing? Of course there will always be people on both sides that always make unguided, divisive and unpatriotic comments here and there is little anyone can do about it. However, there must be a handful of people from both sides who must rise above pettiness to approach issues with sincerity of purpose. And I thought those I mentioned in my post and a few others fall in that category from PDP side. Anyway, the choice is theirs; not that it will change the facts on the ground. |

PassingShot:Shut it Mr. Passingshot!!! Have you ever called them to order?... Instead you're even encouraging and liking their comments, How can one just insult the number one citizen of this country with reckless abandon?... Without any iota of conscience, Those same set of people will ccomplain of how this country is not respected in the comity of nations, while forgetting the fact that they brought it on themselves. Look here, I don't care if Buhari is the commander of chief or whatever... All I know is this... WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS ALSO GOOD FOR THE GANDER. |
