@hercules07 The data i presented is clear enough for the purpose of this debate. The figures there represent the total value of the contracts. From the figures you will see that north west alone accounted for over almost 40% of all PTF contracts. Secondly , please dont bring Akpata in here. Buhari was responsible, he was the leader, besides need I remind you that whenever a MALLAM is helsman in any govt parastatal, his southern deputy is simply non-existent? Ask GEJ under UMYA. |

Beaf: The man is not only grossly incompetent, he is also very tribalistic and an islamic "zealot". I would rather ask Turai to be president than allow , this impostor with false claims to piety. |

Kobojunkie: I said southern deputy oga. Need I remind you that Idiagbon was from Kwara state? |

***rolls eyes *** So people from Kwara cannot be southerners? ***rolls eyes again *** |

@na_so There is nowhere in that article where it states it is in terms of money, it just says percentages, can you please show me the reference, I am truly trying to get to the bottom of this PTF issue. |

As much as I have always agreed with Jarus in most of his write-ups I think some things are missing here. You see I was one of the first set of people to condemn GEJ too and I was doing that with much zeal but certain decisions taken in times past has shown that the man is not lily-livered. He is really playing the gentleman's game in a very dangerous terrain. Let's be frank with ourselves, Nigeria is a complex stuff. Too many thieving politicians all over the place. You need them in many ways to get things done. See the time he eased out Onovo, Dambazau. It demands a man with tact to take that kind of decision at the time he did. GEJ is well oiled in the art of political machinations and he has stood in the wings to learn alot within the time he has been in power. Let's not also compare Naija with other climes. We have a perculiar way of doing things here. See the way ordinary guys were going to shake the President on his seat. How did they get there is part of the Naija thing. Yes things are not being done right but we need time to put things in shape. It is not a day's job. It evolves over time. The frenzy with which Nigerians want power now was different from the way it was. It goes to tell you that we have gotten to realize that we cannot continue like this and the noise that we have been making seems to be materializing though not there yet but there is a measure of improvement. As for your condemnation of Obj, bros that was one of the best Presidents we had so far. Obj might be bullish in applying his tactics but he gave Nigeria a measure of activity. Things were happening. The banking sector he gave bite to was bastardised by SLS in one fell swoop. The result of it is what we are witnessing today. As for Ribadu, he handles issues with emotions just like the way SLS brought down the economy. He needs some time to learn in order to master the art of leadership. The way you rule in Naija is different from the way things are done in US, UK , Canada and co. Look at the way fashola has been having it rough here in lagos, Tinubu has been using all forms of tactics to rubbish the guy because he's the kingmaker. Because Fashola is not experienced, he cannot fight back. That is one of the things experience robs a man of. The mistake we make sometimes is that we seem to adore people who are tagged 'Progressives' and that is a misconception. In the Nigerian political terrain, nothing like that exists. It is just an opportunity to get there and then you will see how the man will come out in his true colours. Osoba is a progressive today, Lam Adeshina is also one but we all know what they did in their various states when they were at the helms of affairs. Jarus, please let us start in our own little way to inculcate good values into our children so that we can have a better society. As it is now, we have missed it in so many ways and it is eating deep into us. This present crop of leaders cannot get us there. GEJ just happens to be the better one out of the whole lot at the moment. Maybe if he can effect some change, the next person can pick up from where he stopped. Those UMYA (RIP) years was a serious setback compared to what Obj achieved during his time. PDP, AC, PPA, APGA and so on is the same Naija thing. So forget this thing about parties. Given the same scenario, Nigerian politicians are the same |

Jarus: I do not agree with your views as expressed here but i respect them enough to give it further thought. Will return shortly. |
