@ larablog, gej and the community inhabitants, who shld report security threats to the law enforcement agent? Taking an instance on how the Aba kidnapping was stopped

ddc machine:

@kobo, the inhabitants of aba made a tipp-off to the law enforcement agents, the kidnappers' den was expose, the law enforcement agents took it up from there, but the josites and co has refused to do same and are seeing what they are xperiencing

Please mind your words! Aba kidnapping has by no means stopped. It has certainly reduced but NOT STOPPED! In fact Imo, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom are still seeing kidnappings aswell. This was how they slowed down after the kidnapping of 3 journalists about July last year only to come and peak again at 50th independence last year with the kidnap of 15 school pupils. 4 female corpers and several secondary school girls were also kidnapped prior to this which really brought the issue to a head.

I beg of you not to trivialize the issue because the torture and maltreatment the kidnappers inflict on their victims is inhumane to say the least and should not be experienced by one more soul.

How long does GEJ need to rule for before we realise that he has nothing to offer, he does not have solution to any of our problem, Electricity, water, education, security, crisis, corruption, unemplyoment, etc even fuel ( we should not be decieved by what we see now, the problem is still there)
pls lets reason together, we need to change this country for our children, it might be too late for some of us.


Indeed . As a leader you do not even need more than a day for folks to positively feel your genuine will and committment to doing what is required to bring about progress. This is even especially more true when dealing with a nation like Nigeria where the problems are so basic that genuine political will can begin bearing fruit almost immediately. If , for example , we know that election rigging is one of our greatest headache then we should ask why any decent President does not do everything possible , as justice Uwais adviced , to ensure that election riggers are automatically sanctioned and banned from contesting future election as a very potent detterent against electoral miisconduct. This is a simple measure yet with far-reaching effects for our quest for greatness as a nation. Yet we all saw GEJ, recently , campaigning for the re-election efforts of a man (Uduaghan ) deemed an election rigger by a competent Court of Law. When we have a President who is acting against everything that can bring progress why on earth should anyone want us to give such an individual a chance ? How many of us give burglars a "chance" by leaving our doors unlocked?

I'm really amazed at the anti-GEJ sentiments running around, you guys have absolutely no idea what that dude is facing, it was an uphill task for him to get inducted as the Nigerian president, imagine a V.P of a nation contending with the wife of a bed ridden president for 3months, with the senate unable to do the "right thing", , nobody wanted him there and if they had their way, Nigeria would still be run under the guise of the good for nothing "cabal". now fast forward to present day, the same trend is what we are being faced with, group of individuals deliberately heating up the polity, imagine a bloody army ganging up against one man, i recall a politician saying if GEJ doesnt step down due to zoning, then  they would ensure that the country is ungovernable under his tenure- now is that a threat or not?,, and still yet the dude keeps his head, and reacts sapiently and i can assure you when the time comes you would see stepwise dissolution of these anti-Nigeria ppl, never mistake the meekness of a lion for cowardice.
Nigeria is seriously under threat within and without, GEJ's handling of the matter is commendable, not perfect.

Why don't you tell us why Jonathan is assisting election riggers instead of moving to ensure they are sanctioned ? Is election rigging not one of the greatest problems facing Nigeria? How can it , by any stretch of the imagination , make sense that a President some claim is the right man for the job is to be found compounding one of the greatest problems facing his own Nation?

Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by Tokotaya: 9:29am On Feb 07, 2011
GEJ has had enough time to demonstrate that he has ideas, to demonstrate that he will do things differently this time and make us proud. I was really hopeful at the beginning of his tenure and I routed for him to succeed. But now, I am convinced he is same of the same. Nothing inspiring, nothing to hope for. He is as clueless as the as his predecessors who believed a problem is solved merely by appointing a Special Adviser. No new ideas. No freshness. Abeg, we should be rid of this man before it the country is ruined beyond repairs.
Now, look at Lagos and its helmsman, Fashola. I disliked the idea that he was foisted on his party by Bola Tinubu. I didnt expect much from him. But it was not long before I realised he had a vision of what Lagos should look like. Today, you may hate him for many other reasons, but you cant deny that he has a vision and has a clue how to achieve it. Can we say that about GEJ? Sadly no.

my friend! Do you know how i've been enlightening registrants at polling stations on the needs to protect their vote. You do not know any of us here just like we don't know you don't assume we are as lazy and offhandish as you.

In fact I won't bother answering you. Stick to the topic at hand.

People are trying to setup a base of rationality and you're coming to talk like a paid sycophant

Again the celebration of Mediocrity!

Some people seem to think that this election is all about who wins. This is for those who just say "GEJ  would win hands down". We are no longer blind to the truth or deaf to it either. I am an easterner but have always believed in a Nigeria which goes beyond ethnicity or zoning. The moment the average Nigerian begins to get respect and have his rights defended and protected that would be when we would have the right leadership. GEJ is not in that mould. He would have fared better if he was under a different party besides the PDP but as long as GEJ is with a selfish and violent party like the PDP then he has lost my vote. We deserve better in this country. Nairalanders wise up to this fact. You deserve a better life and a better future not just for yourselves but for your children and their children. Any error done today has a ripple effect that would take years to fix. I am a christian and because my bible tells me that when the righteous is on the throne the people rejoice, I cast my vote for Buhari and Bakare duo. It is on record that both of these individuals are principled and free from corrupt practices. GEJ  would do well as a minister or a governor but he is not Presidential stuff. The stage Nigeria is now we need someone who is firm, determined, focused and able to take decisions that affect us in record time. We have watched Nigeria deteriorate and commence the sinking process of a leaking vessel. We must plug up the leaks to enable us stay afloat. Even in Africa we are regarded as a big joke not to mention in other parts of the world. Please please please. Lets not make the errors our fathers did.

since when did GEJ become a judge? and if by your pointers, INEC and the judiciary deemed Uduaghan fit to contest again, who are u to declare otherwise?

how much level playing time has GEJ had?, you guys just think running a country is yam, Dude you need firstly, to have a clear manifesto of what you want to achieve in a set period. what GEJ is doing is damage limitation at best, and once he becomes the President on his terms, expect to see massive improvement, i can guarantee that!!!!

Give him a chance so that more Nigerians would be killed in Jos, Borno, Bayelsa, Abuja etc.

Give him a chance to loot the ECA more.

Give him a chance to defend the October 1 bomb blast.

Let me ask, what happened to Dokpesi, IBB and the October 1 bomb suspects?


Oh heaven please this poster so is Gej who brought all this? So you mean all this started by him? You need to go back and read news very and go back to do your research well ok please dont take it personal is just an advise.

Now listen and please listen carefully I will say over and over Iam not a PDP member neither from Gej village or state is either you belief it or not Aso Rock will only be vacant in 2015 and Gej is the occupier till that 2015 "FACT"because I will not belief it or be part of the miracle that ACN that has only 4 or 5 states and CPC that has no single state out of 36 state of the federation will defeated PDP who is the ruling party that has almost all the remaining states please lets stop deceiving ourselves and lets stop creating hate politics here, let say the truth to ourselves this is too clear PDP is ruling till 2015 and lets stop all sorts of rant and blablablabla it wont work.

I will say NO, I am either to support Gej or oppose him, since he assume office we have more negative issue than positive things,

first in a country is to ensure safety and security - GEJ fail

Corruption - GEJ fail

but the guy has done fell goods, but I will like to see opposition that will turn the country round I dont care be he/she Hausa,Igbo or Yoruba all I know is that Nigeria should be back to be the giant of Africa, its time will need a change real change not failing promises from PDP or other parties
