Billyonaire: PDP = Power2dPeople!; The most populous party in Africa, the Assembly of Best Brains, The Party with Nationalistic view. PDP is the greatest thing to happen to Nigeria. The opposition parties are just regional militia driven by fraudulent godfathers, but PDP, is for the people. We rule, while others follow.

D-Explorer:


Mr. Man, that's the trend in that party you're rooting for. A make-believe 1st term to earn the 2nd by "white-wash" as you stated. Why not think more of the horrible 2nd term people endures. Mr. President's comment is pure truth and quiet obvious and admitted by unbiased Nigerians.

American official says PDP is not a party

March 21, 2011 01:28PM

The United States does not consider the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party a political party, a US diplomatic cable leaked to the whistleblowing site, Wikileaks, and made exclusively available to NEXT has shown.
Charge d’ affaires of the US embassy in Nigeria, Lisa Piascik, in a dispatch dated October 19, 2007, informed Washington that despite its labelling as a political party, the PDP did not meet “the common western understanding” of a political party.
According to Ms. Piascik, the PDP “lacks key ingredients most political parties share”.
After taking a swipe at the party’s mission statement, the American diplomat proceeded to deliver what is probably the most scathing analysis yet of the PDP.
“The PDP remains an agglomeration of interest groups formed around persons of prominence and power which are loosely tied together by a desire to remain in office and maintain access to the “national cake” or resources of the state”, Ms. Piascik declared.
“The PDP remains a highly fractious and opportunistic coalition of interests. True opposition, in the form of a powerful group with access to the pillars of power, comes from within the PDP - not from without as would be expected in a democratic party structure.”
She added that the party, which claims to be the biggest political platform in Africa, has no “ideological consensus” whatsoever and had remained divided from the start.

Acidosis: You are right sir but your citizens will not understand, especially those that don't think outside their state like most Lagosians do. If Fashola utters similar statement about Lagos and ACN, most people would praise him.

ifihearam: I see some of you here are foolish
So he should say without A.CN or CPC abi?
This man was brought there by that party and he needs to register is loyalty to the party being the biggest political party in africa. Please grow up,by the way I have confidence in GEJ as a pure democrat and nt the party and there is nothing really wrong in the statement he made.

Its funny when I read your above quoted, I thought you were being sarcastic, until I start to read you other posts afterwards.
Being a supporter of a Nigeria politician must really be tough for anyone that possesses a measure of conscience, because after reading the full content of the thread and many other Jonathan's presidential blunders after another in both utterances and deed, wouldn't your first reaction be:
God! how do I defend this one now? Can't he keep his gob sealed for one day, just a week after his Mrs perm sec debacle?

But trust you guys, you always manage to find a way around it, really clever bunch! in ironic way.
I don't know how you guys does it but you manage to do it anyway. I salute.

mymind_kk: I smell fear written everywhere, in the Presidency n PDP...
But dt fear can be averted if GEJ gets it ryt nw, long b4 2015....
On d flip side, if GEJ is not able 2 arrest d hiccups in majorly d power sector, oil sector n of course the sick rebel called BOKO HARAM, come 2015, there would be a shift in d party at d federal level n no doubt sequel 2 ds, PDP will lose ground for many yrs 2 come (dts if dey don't get extinct) due 2 d fact dt many of d patrons n big guns in d party would leave 4 d proceeding party in power (definitely nt.. D PDP).
These r d words 4rm d clairvoyant in me.
Pre n post 2015 is 1 of a kind, marked by a shift towards d new NIGERIA

How can you judge an administration that has not ended and very much a long-term progress except you're been biased.

gboss4sure: As much as I hate PDP but I must say is the only party that is not ethnic based. For example, ACN Is a yorouba thing, CPC is an hausa thing while APGA is an igbo thing. And PDP is a Nigerian thing but the loot us dry

Which "unbiased Nigerians"? The ones who only see PDP moving Nigeria towards imminent "collapse" via the insecurity, misrule and hideous corruption they abet with opportunistic callousness? How many Governors has the PDP produced since 1999 and how many , as a percentage, have been ultra-woeful? Do the statistics and inspect the awful ratio.

If democracy means "winning" election and then pretending to lead while you actually loot, then certainly PDP takes the prize. As per how many Nigerians have had their fundamental thinking and reasoning bastardized , I am certainly not surprised you and some "unbiased Nigerians" think the PDP represent "democracy". It just shows Nigeria is an aberration that tends to give its own warped interpretations to things.

Look below to see what others ,actually decent practitioners of democracy as designed, think of the PDP. While you see "democrats", the rest of the world, commenting solely on what is on the ground, see only opportunists Vultures,Hyenas and plunderers.

I will let you know this. If PDP goes burst, the nation goes with it. The error many of these ACN folks make is that they think PDP is in the name. It isnt in the name. PDP is just a platform for Nigerians to come together accross the country. In 1979 it was NPN, in 1960s. it was NCNC (though not as broad as it is today). The point is, Nigerians must always look for a common ground to come together and that common ground must

1. Not be controlled by one person
2. Not be controlled completely by one region
3. Must be able to accomodate different ideologies because thats the reality on the ground.

It doesnt matter what the name of that party is. Whether you call it PDP or DPD or PDD, it doesnt matter. It is the consensus across board that will matter. ACN and CPC dont have those qualities. No hausa man will trust a party that is dominated by Tinubu. No south south or south east man will trust a party that is dominated by Tinubu and moslems or Buhari and muslims. It is the reality on the ground. It doesnt matter what many of these south west peeps are posting here on Nairaland. Edo people did not vote for Oshiomole because he is in ACN. If he moves to any party today, they will al move with him, including PDP. His open credit to GEJ for the elections shows that. He was Jonathan's biggest defender during the fuel subsidy debate. Rochas is PDP thru and thru and went to APGA and unseated Ohakim. If the people of Imo state had considered is closeness to PDP, they would have rejected him. They voted for him because of who he is and their distaste for Ohakim, not because of APGA.

PDP is the only party you will find in many states of Nigeria. States like Cross River, Ebonyi, Abia, Nasarrawa, Kebbi, etc have practically no presence of ACN. Others have no presence of CPC. Jonathan was spot on in his statement. The ACN supporters here call it a gaffe because they want to paint everything he says as such. But he is very correct. If the PDP was like ACN or CPC, they would have brought down the federal might on the opposition just like ACN is doing in Lagos and the country would have plunged into a war. The goal of boko aram is for the military to take over because they believe they have a stake in a military government in Nigeria but even they are making a big mistake. The Nigerian military is not what it used to be.

He said the intention of the opposition was to drown the PDP by painting it as a bad party.

Don't mind the hypocritical opposition , we all know all political parties lack basic ideologies, and are just platforms to looting the national treasury

Going by the extreme corruption index of the opposition despite their minimal power base . . . .What they will become if they were as large as the PDP is better left unimagined . . .

There is an Efik Proverb that says ===> Abasi isi noho idiok unam nnuk ( God does not give a terrible and a fierce animal horns) . .Imagine a lion,tiger or leopard with horns . . .Na disaster be that

Jonathan accused the opposition of adopting ‘philosophy’ of “when you say the wrong thing one thousand times, it becomes the right thing.”

Thank You Sir, You indeed understand the underlying workings of the Opposition nay sayers, wailers and screamers

I keep telling them that ==========> Saying bullshyte a million times = Bullshyte .

Goebbels reportedly said, “If you tell a big lie enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

“[b]So, if you are not safe, you can’t even think of hunger because a dead person does not need food. So, security is very, very fundamental.”

jmaine: Simple interpretation ======>


we have various feelings which are stimuli e.g hunger , sex , safety concerns e.t.c with each having an over riding influence over another, dependent on it's critical level . . .

Thus, an hungry animal who is about to feast will abandon his food and flee if danger lurks around . . . . . .an indication that the critical need to stay alive is greater than the stimuli of severe pangs of hunger . . .

GEJ was talking as a biologist here in relation to our critical security concerns . . . .

He said that events of the past weeks indicated that the activities of Boko Haram had been curtailed, adding that the killings last week in Plateau State had nothing to do with the sect.

On the economy, he said his government was taking a number of measures in areas like Agriculture and Water Resources, adding that reforms were also[b] being worked on[/b] in the petroleum sector.

Offcourse, your saying the plain undeniable fact, the hypocritical opposition have nothing meaningful to say, except to silently wish it fails for their own pleasure . . .

Time will Justify all
