can u swear by amadioha that u are igbo?

I don't need Amadioha to swear,the problem wit us is that we don't see beyond our noses,we don't consider wt benefits Nigeria as a whole,but we care more about our regions.think of...if the entire nation is developed there won't be reason for cry of marginalisation.

To answer your Questions..am full-ibo blooded.my Uncle is an SSA to Abia state governor,ordinarily I shud be fighting to preserve the source from which my uncle drinks,but because the source is polluted,I have chosen not to be a part of the contermination

,my state,Abia is the least developed under jonathan's administration.even Obasanjo did not allow Orji Uzor kalu rape Abia the way Jonathan has done.so why shud I entrust jona for another term?that wud be suicidal

For my fellow abians,we have our destiny in our hands,Ochendo thinks he can pocket our votes by going to the senate,making his in-law the flagbearer for PDP.,sending his wife wu can't Even speak good english to house of reps.(u wonder wt she will be speaking in the house)sending the son to Abia house of assembly,I mean what is left of Abia again naa?

We teach PDP a lesson in our Dear beloved Abia.
Vote individuals my ppl,your vote is your "REVOLUTION"!

WhiteTechnology:



And you want to be like US China Japan Europe without privatization


Guy go back to bed

We want privatization but not the type Obasanjo an Jonathan have done...selling our commonwealth to their friends and associates.
We sold NEPA yet we cant see light.

South East, Middle Belt are no go areas for APC. To these regions,, voting Buhari is like voting Osama bin Laden.

WhiteTechnology:

GMB is an Hausa Fulani whose people are the highest benefactors of this present system.

GMB isn't a man of tribal sentiment. That's y he is refered to as d people's general.

DISADVANTAGES OF PRIVATISATION




1. YOUR SERVICES GET WORSE

Private companies have a legal duty to reward their shareholders, so they have to prioritise making a profit. This means they may end up cutting corners, or underinvesting in your public services. Water companies ignore leaks instead of investing in infrastructure, while private company involvement in the NHS has been bad for patients. Private companies also have 'commercially confidential' contracts, so they don't share information with others; this makes it harder for them to work in partnership to make services better.

2. YOUR COSTS GO UP

You pay more, both as a taxpayer and directly when you pay for public services. Value for money goes down because private companies must make a profit for their shareholders and they also pay their top executives more money. This means either we the people, or the government, or both, end up paying more. Fares on our privatised railways and buses are the most expensive in Europe, while people are also being hit with high energy bills. 57% of 140 local authorities surveyed in 2011 said they had brought outsourced public services back in-house or were considering it, with 60% saying that the main reason was the need to cut costs.

3. YOU CAN'T HOLD PRIVATE COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE

If the local council runs a service, you know where to go to complain. But if a private company runs a service, they are not democratically accountable to you. That makes it harder for you to have a voice. Academy schools are less accountable to parents. Atos, the welfare provider, tried to silence disability campaigners instead of responding to their concerns. A report by the Institute of Government reveals problems in outsourcing public services, including a lack of transparency, manipulation of contracts by suppliers and a reluctance to sack underperforming providers.

4. STAFF ARE UNDERMINED

If you work in public services, privatisation will make your life harder. A Europe-wide study found that privatisation has had ‘largely negative effects on employment and working conditions’. There are often job cuts and qualified staff are replaced with casual workers, who are paid less and have worse conditions. This has a knock-on effect on the service being provided – for example, in the cases of care workers or court interpreters.

5. IT IS RISKY AND DIFFICULT TO REVERSE

A review of outsourcing finds that the claims made about its benefits are unproven, but that potential risks are substantial. A Deloitte report finds that many large companies are bringing services in-house because of the costs, complexity and risks of outsourcing. Once our public services are privatised, it's often difficult for us to get them back. Not only that, we lose the pool of knowledge, skills and experience that public sector workers have acquired over many years. We also lose integration both within and across different public services.

Benefits of privatization

POLICY FOCUS - Governments delivers well because it focuses on its core mandate of strategic policy direction and implementation. 
LESS RISK -   Lessened Financial and Administrative burden on government therefore money can be   channeled to other national needs such as education, health and poverty eradication programmes -Very minimal reliance on government.
SERVICE DELIVERY - Improved service delivery in the public service
REVENUE - More tax income from operations that were generic cost-centers! More FDI in-flows in cases of IPOs and SEPs
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY - Empowered citizens – decision-making hierarchies shortened as the long institutionalised consultations would be cut to more cost-effective and result-focused models.
Strengthens the role of the private sector in the economy.
Private companies are profit oriented and Government is not, therefore the scenario will breed business battles for improved services.
Very key to innovative ideas.
COMPETITION - Discourages monopolies - BTC will have to compete with e.g Mascom and Orange - value for money for customers.
Opportunity for Batswana to entrepreneurship through ESOPs and MBOs – citizen entrepreneurship will grow. Batswana entrepreneurs will now be able to operate more meaningful businesses that touch their communities timely; stimulated by competition and less dependent on government to improve sectors!
OUT-SOURCING: Citizens will enjoy localisation by home-bred businesses that may compete amongst themselves, thus improving service levels across sectors such as in out-sourced activities. Activities such as cleaning services, gardening and security for government will be owned by citizen companies.

@WhiteTechnology GMB doesn't exercise tribalism or religous bigotry. You may like 2 do a brief research on GMB administration as a former head of state. His govt appointed christians, muslims, yoruba, hausa, igbo. Truly, he is d PEOPLE'S GENERAL

Buhari is a tribalist. What did he do for Igbo when he was head of state and PTF chairman? Have u read Afeniferi report on how he awarded almost 80% contract to the north when he was PTF chairman?

nzeobi:
Buhari is yet to impress me with his speeches, he is too emotional just like he cried and instigated violence in 2011
He doesn't know nigeria very well, he also doesn't know politics and he lacks the needed ideas that can transform nigeria.

Let's be real an sincere to ourselves for once..ask yourself,if jonathan were to contest for the presidency as ordinary citizen without the power of incumbency head to head with Buhari,do u realy think he wud win?plz do answer me?

I might accept him even if he is an ethno religious bigot if I am certain he would implement these

Resource control

Fiscal federalism

Political federalism

Privatization

Decentralization of Nigeria

Restructuring of Nigeria

Don't mind him,they are pple whose only claim to relevance is ethnicity an nepotism,let him tell me one reason to vote jonathan an I wud give him two reasons not to vote him..but they wuld rather play tribalism

@WhiteTechnology Buhari, being an experienced administrator (former HOS and PTF chairman) knows where the shoes pinches us and will solve d probs u listed. By d way, I like ur username, u're truly WhiteTechnology unlike those beclouded by sentiment.

ferderick:

The problem with Nigeria is our public expenditure structure. Govt is under a hell lot of financial pressure and the only way to lessen that is via privatization. The free resources will be re-allocated towards pursuing a welfare state. His excellency is doing that and for this, i will vote for him.

Ask Your excellency..

Where is our 20billion dollars?

Where is ouur Sure-P money?

Where is our 1billion dollars dat vanished last wk?

etc ..whether the south-east likes it or not, GEJ is going.


Nigeria is dying for Change abeg!

Take it easy nau, don't worry, GEJ's removal 4rm office won't stop u 4rm being paid by TAN. I assure you.

The only reason is short memories,if they have forgotten the 1984/85 reign of terror then they will vote for him.

Yeah.... Right thinking Nigerians that were shell-shocked to hear a presidential hopeful on national television promising to stabilise global oil prices if elected as president. It can never happen! Unlike U, I don't see this as a laughing matter

In my opinion,people like Buhari and GEJ are not the type of men we need as president. There are more competent people in Nigeria than these two. Unfortunately,the politics of the day has presented these people. There's nothing about Buhari to show that he will be any better than GEJ. Political sagacity behooves the Igbos to vote GEJ. Only a very stupid Igbo man will be fighting for a Hausa man to be president over his south-South neigbour. The 2015 presidential election is much more than it seems. APC is nothing but a concoction between Buhari and Tinubu to entrench Hausa/Yoruba hegemony in Nigeria. Right from the start,APC knew that Buhari would be the presidential flagbearer. I can guarantee you that none of these Yoruba APC supporters would have been shouting 'change' if GEJ had been a Yoruba man. They wouldn't have even joined APC in the first place. Yorubas need the northerners to maintain the fraud known as Nigeria,they can't do it by themselves. APC was born out of evil intent and that's they will fail. GEJ makes the best sense for the Igbos. The Devil I know is better than the Angel in heaven I do not know. GEJ till 2015!!

So you are saying we Easterners shud vote jonathan just for the fact that he is our neighbor from south south,wat has that neighborhood brought to us.?

Yes, we are yearning for Change, and His Excellency is at the fore front of that quest. Like it or not, we are returning him and there is nothing u guys can do about it.

name one thing your St. Buari did for the Igbos and south-south as military dictator with unlimited powers and i'll name 10 His Excellency has done with a constitutionally limited powers. We are voting for him.

Which real Igbo man spells Igbo as ''Ibo''?
Maybe your mother told you that you are Igbo, but you need to ask her serious questions.

That's the wrong question to ask me as Igbo man. You should ask me what the Hausas who are not my neighbours have brought me in the past. Nothing good. Better my neigbour gets in there than the people who have never meant well for the Igbo man.

Collynzo9:

U are welcome. It's still GEJ/SAMBO 2015. Though i preferred Gej/Shekarau.

Obviously clueless like jona that you support,that's why you keep beating about the bush
Ibo an Igbo are inter-changeablly used both in written an spoken language..I pity your sorry-state,u got nothing to hang on to apart from that silly question?
