Read Prof Tam David West;
"Religion is a personal thing and every man has the right to choose his own, or practice it the way he likes. Most of the sycophants that use religion to defame the character of Buhari are not even practicing their acclaimed self righteousness. Many of them are occultists. They kill and conduct daily human sacrifices to remain in power. Buhari is a man of integrity and I respect him a lot. But because majority of those who have looted this country to poverty are afraid to end up in jail or loose their ill gotten wealth, they chose to fabricate lies against Buhari. They hire hungry and morally corrupted scholars to do the dirty jobs on their behalf.
It is quite unfortunate that Nigerians buy all the lies they trade through the media.
This is the only country where people prefer to believe in a hear say than make a research. Only a minute population of Nigerians are willing to investigate an allegation before they draw conclusions.
Nigerians have resolved to be praise singers to corrupt leaders. We have failed to ask for accountability. Our conscience has been beclouded with religious and ethnic sentiments. Our sense of judgement and reason have been blinded by poverty. We chose to mortgage our tomorrow and the future of our children for the rice and a few Naira notes they share during elections.
All we believe is the roads, the bridges, the railways, the electricity they build only on televisions.
I always ask my self these questions:
1. Where are the roads? The Abuja - Lokoja road was awarded by Obasanjo's administration. He spent 8 years in the office. Then Yaradua and Goodluck spent another 4 years. Now if Goodluck is elected, he will be spending another 8 years. This will amount to 20 years and 180 km road is yet to be completed. Enugu - Onitsha road was also awarded by the Obasanjo administration and till date, a journey that is supposed to take 45 minutes can take you 8 hours if it rains. Enugu- PH road is on the same series. What about Uyo - Calabar route? Just to mention a few.
2. Where is the power? They sold all the NEPA to their friends. We pay for the light that was not supplied.
3. Our education and health system go bad everyday. Lecturers and Health workers spent more time at home than in the schools and hospitals as a result of incessant strikes.
4. The government failed to provide us with security. People are being killed everyday and yet government comes out to tell us they are in control.
5. Why are we pretending that all is well? It is only in Nigeria where monies develop wings and fly. $20 billion oil money disappeared and they said it was $10 billion. Forensic investigators were hired and that was the end of the story. N20 billion pension fund stolen and nothing came out of it. $9.3 million seized in South Africa and government claimed it was meant for ammunition purchase. The immigration scandal has also been swept under the carpet because the senate could not proceed with their investigation. The man behind the contract is sitting among the high seats in the senate.
Innocent people were defrauded and they at the same time lost their lives yet, we have a transparent governance.
6. Why are we praising government as if they are doing whatever with their personal money. How many people in their various communities have they provided scholarship with their personal money before they got elected? The reason they got elected is to manage our resources and not to loot us dry. One thing I know is that we will not have any meaningful development except if we make a change. Age or no age, Buhari is a better option for the present day Nigeria"

May your days be more than Sir Alex Ekwueme...grow up

obailala:


Oh!... so you now agree that Ekwueme committed some atrocities and was corrupt?... Yet you keep screaming blue murder about why Buhari had to place him in detention for a while...

You have just succeeded in exonerating GMB.

The PDP rode, and is still riding on the back of IGBO people for its acheivements over the year, yet leaving its elders irrelevant in political scheme of things. It is unfortunate that the people who have sacrificed so much for the party since inception now find themselves begging for recognition. Late Dim Ojukwu saw this and formed APGA but PDP bought it over by implanted it's elements within it, Okorocha saw it and decided to seek relevance else where which he is now getting. The sooner the Igbo realises that their political relevance lies else where other than the PDP the better. A word is enough for the wise. As for Dr Ekweme, I quite appreciate ur doggedness wrapped in humility. Posterity has a good record you.

For the fact that we do not have enough opposition is to my view a natural develop­ment. When IBB decreed two political par­ties, NRC and SDP, he called me and asked what I thought of that, I told him in princi­ple that I am in support of two party system where there are two strong parties. But I have reservations for the two party system being created by a decree. So, now in this dispensation we have the PDP, we have the APC which is the major opposition party which I think is healthy one provided we base our decision making on issues rather than abuses.

How would you assess that of the President Jonathan. How would you see the presidency under Jonathan?

Well, it’s not a question you should be asking me really, as long as I’m in PDP, I cannot come out to say PDP president is rubbish, except that each president must have his own decision making capabilities and must make a personal input in the presi­dency for which he will be remembered. Some are remembered for what they have done and some are remembered for just having occupied that seat.

Well, you should bear in mind that this trouble in the North-East didn’t start with Jonathan. At a time insurgents were occupy­ing local government headquarters in Yobe State before Jonathan even came on the scene, but it escalated after Jonathan was elected and 2011. Stories connect it to some statements made in 2011 that if Jonathan wins, they will make the country ungovern­able. And after the election, insurgents took over a whole region of a country that out of 26 local government areas in Borno State, Boko Haram is in charge of 22. So, it’s a situation that is not necessarily of Jona­than’s making. However, his approach to it, it’s a matter of approach. In our time we had Maitatsine, I think in the same Borno State, the same Maiduguri but President Shehu Shagari didn’t waste time in crushing them. They resurfaced in Kano, we faced them again squarely, surfaced in Sokoto State, his own state, in area that was our showpiece for rural development, irrigation, there they were finally crushed, they didn’t rear their heads again until we finished. Then when Buhari came in 1984, they resurfaced again this time in Yola and he dealt with them as well. Some people said that you can’t kill insurgency with the force of arms, but even insurgents are not immortal, except for few who are suicidal elements; many of them don’t want to die in the final analysis. So, if you face them squarely, they are bound to retreat.

You know say I sabi u well...Oya, apologize now before I.....

obicentlis:

You have got something. You are grownman I guess, so, your father hasn't called you to order if you are not doing something well? He has lost my vote and so many other persons votes cos of the state of federal and state roads in Aba. Come and feel the template here. Gej winning the election is not likely.

onatisi:
the simple bitter truth about pdp is that, the old brigade of politicians in pdp simply can't and don't understand how gej is able to manage the affairs of pdp without them. Ppl like ekweme ,obj and co believed that gej couldn't manoeuvre the ship of pdp without consulting them but unfortunately for them gej has done far more than they expected and now pdp is stronger than before. These old politicians contributed in no small measure the mess and problems pdp had before. Obj was the architect of pdp problems and thank god he has finally been sidelined and ignored. The pdp political family win not only win this election convincingly they will win it re soundly and majestically. Pdp,the party to beat anytime anyday and the party to be in .

I don't like this. Where is anonimi, Chukwudi44, Sunnybobo3, billyonaire, rozayx5, onyengbu, Ngwakwe etc when you need them? Come and respond to this bombshell the greatest political icon from Igboland has just thrown. If the Igbos respect their elders this should be the 12inches nail on Jonathan's eastern votes. This is the real grey matter speaking and not the one the clueless one tried to refer to on that infamous podium. He is finished!
