Seun, please why did the politics mod ban me because I said APC guys are paid? I have been observing how the politics mod is running the section. I will speak soon. The APC e-rats here accuse GEJ supporters of being paid on every thread but never get banned. So why ban me for calling them out? This is double standard and is beginning to paint a story of compromised admins. This is wrong and sends the message that this site is being biased in favour of APC |

Pple cry for change without realizing change started 6 years back. APC and PDP has their differences buh if we were to be sincere Jonathan has tried more than former President before him. The change Nigerians want is a change without process. The change we desire for is a change whereby you sleep today and you wake up tomorrow to notice that the land our parents bought in the village has become an duplex. IMPOSSIBLE. Rome they say was never built in a day. Most of the problem facing Nigeria now were problem inherited. For me these are reasons why i will vote GEJ. 1. Promotion and practice of true democracy by creating an enabling environment where people from diverse backgrounds and with divergent views and opinions can be accommodated. Under the watch of Goodluck Jonathan administration, the APC was registered by INEC as a mega opposition party big enough to challenge the PDP at both state and national levels. This would be unthinkable some years back. 2. Conduct of free and fair elections in the country, including the 2011 poll which was adjudged to be the most credible election of its magnitude that has ever been conducted in the country, though it was not without its flaws. Unlike in other administrations, the Goodluck Jonathan administration has given a free hand to the country’s electoral umpire, INEC, to perform its statutory duties. 3. Relative non-interference with electoral and judicial matters . This is evident in the number of governorship elections that have been won both at the polls and in the court by opposition parties in Anambra, Imo, Osun states, among others. 4. Liberalization of the press and guaranteeing the freedom of speech in a country where the stifling of the press and suppression of the citizens’ right to freedom of speech used to be the norm, a legacy of over 30 years of military rule. The existence of vocal anti-government media houses and critics would have culminated in some high- profile assassinations some years back, but today citizens are free to air their views whenever and wherever they like just like any other sane country. 5. Opening up of Nigeria to the global business community and becoming Africa’s number one destination of foreign investors. In the first six months of 2014, a total of US$9.70 billion or N1.51trillion flowed into the national economy as foreign direct investments (FDI). 6. Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria rebased it’s GDP for the first time in over a decade to become the largest economy in Africa, overtaking South Africa and Egypt in the process. 7. Proceeds from Nigeria’s non-oil exports rose to 2.97 billion by the end of 2013, up from 2.3 billion in 2010. 8. Initiation of the YOUWIN program in 2011. The Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YOUWIN) program aims to generate over 100,000 jobs for innovative unemployed youths across the country in the course of three years. It is currently in its third year. 9. Nigerians are now a step closer to being fully integrated into the international e-commerce community with the approval and reinclusion of Nigeria as one of the Paypal-compliant countries after being banned from using the service at the peak of the advanced fee fraud (419 scams). With Paypal, Nigerians can now pay for goods and services online from anywhere in the world. 10. Goodluck Jonathan administration is the one behind the revival of the dead automotive industry in Nigeria. Global auto giants like Peugeot, Nissan and Hyundai now either assemble or wholly manufacture small cars, Sport Utility Vehicles, trucks and buses at various locations in Nigeria. In addition to that, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (IVM), Nigeria’s flagship indigenous automaker, has begun the sale of their first made-in-Nigeria cars and SUVs in August 2014. 11. Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria became the first country in West Africa to host the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2014. It was also the most successful World Economic Forum for Africa (WEFA) in history, boasting of a global reach of 2.1 billion people according to estimates. 12. Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote’s net worth increased from US$2.1 billion at the start of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s administration to US$23 billion in 2014, making him Forbes’ richest black person in the world and the overall 26th richest in the world. He attributed this mammoth increase in his monetary worth to Goodluck Jonathan administration favourable economic policies. 13. Construction and beautification of many federal roads in the country, including the Lagos- Benin expressway, Abuja-Lokoja expressway, Enugu-Abakiliki expressway, Onitsha-Owerri highway and most parts of the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway. Also, construction of the second Niger Bridge between Onitsha and Asaba to relieve the pressure on the old Niger Bridge which was completed in December 1965. 14. Revival of the comatose railway system of transportation in the country is happening under the current Goodluck Jonathan administration. 15. Remodelling, beautification and standardization of airports across the country. In addition to that, aircraft from Nigeria are now allowed to fly directly to the United States of America instead of going through many stopovers in Amsterdam and some other European cities along/in the route. The Akanu Ibiam Airport in Enugu was upgradede into an international airport , directly connecting the South-East region of the country to the outside world for the first time since independence. 16. Establishment of nine federal universities across the country in states which previously had no federal degree awarding institution. 17. Computerizing education in the country with the introduction of the computer-based test (CBT) which was mandatory for all UTME candidates from 2015. 18. Introduction of the Almajiri system of education in the academically disadvantaged Northern parts of the country. 19. Arresting the outbreak of the deadly and highly contagious Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in record time, though it unfortunately claimed some lives at the onset. 20. Transformation of the agricultural sector, so that, in the words of Agriculture minister Akinwumi Adesina, “Nigerians will stop thinking of agriculture just as a means of livelihood, but more as a business.” 21. Nigeria has reduced its food imports by over 40% as of 2013, moving the country closer to self sufficiency in agriculture. 22. Nigeria is the world’s largest producer of cassava with an output of over 45 million metric tonnes in 2014 according to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO). 23. Due to favourable economic policies, Internet penetration in Nigeria has now increased from about 45 million in 2011 to 63 million in 2014, overtaking countries such as the United Kingdom and France in the process. What this means is that more people now use the internet in Nigeria than in the UK and France. 24. As of the second quarter of 2014, the number of registered active telephone lines in Nigeria stood at 130 million out of a total of over 170 million telephone lines. 25. Introduction of the Nigerian electronic identity card (e-ID card), one of the most secure in the world d the largest in Africa. The e-ID card serves as both an international identification module and an electronic payment solution. 26. Introduction of the cashless system which aims to encourage the use of e-payment systems in the country and reduce the volume of physical cash in circulation. 27. Unbundling of the dysfunctional Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) into about 18 profit-driven successor companies. 28. Under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria won the African Cup of Nations for the first time in 19 years in South Africa in February, 2013. 29. Nigeria ended up with 11 gold , 11 silver and 14 bronze medals at the recently concluded 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finishing 8th in the overall ranking. 30. Women in politics have been given more prominent roles in the current President Goodluck Jonathan administration. A large number of the federal appointees of the Goodluck Jonathan administration are women. They include, but are not limited to, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Miriam Aloma Mukhtar, Nigeria’s first female Chief Justice; Diezani Alison- Madueke; ex-aviation minister Stella Oduah, Joy Ogwu, Nigeria’s representatives at the United Nations; Sarah Jibril; and Viola Onwuliri. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

A FINAL ANALYSIS OF 2015 ELECTION This is a final analysis of 2015 Election. Before I proceed, let me share you a brief story of this article. It was meant to be uploaded yesterday but Alas! I opened my document and it started stating some errors that I could not phantom their existence. In one word, it failed to open but after every trial to recover the content till about 2am today, I decided to compose another. The initial is a full six page analysis but I hope to end this in two pages. Before I proceed, the error that happened to the previous file showed the need for all faithful Nigerians to handover this country to God in prayers and supplication Let me take a brief recall of the past. BOLA AHMED TINUBU unknowingly pioneered a CHANGE in the country when he briskly presented us a lawyer (BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA). It was his intention to secure his dominance in the state but it later turned out to be goodluck for the state as this young lawyer was bent on a “BETTER LAGOS”. His radical transformation in the state lead to the request of the party he flagged under (that is, ACN) by neighbouring South-Western states. Of course, BOLA AHMED TINUBU wasn’t expecting the way paved by the young lawyer but in response to the call of neighbouring South-Western States, he sent industrialists/career personnel who work with the Lagos State Government to pioneer “CHANGE” in their state of origin. As you all should know, these personnels are of high integrity who desire that their origin should be like the LAGOS CITY. They went with all zeal and set out to work hard. I saw a better replacement of the corrupted giant (PDP) especially when this party took over my state and many infrastructural projects gained momentum for the first time in a radical way but the hope of the young party growing in sincerity and integrity was dashed out when its godfather, BOLA AHMED TINUBU, who never had a vision of what young industrialist and Career Personnel had been running with, accepted the move to merge with other parties to defeat the corruption-laden giant (PDP). I was one of those growing politician who immediately withdrew my interest in the party immediately I heard those proposition and the rhetorical questions that filled my heart includes the following: Has APC successfully put up a structure of its operation? How a party would merge with some others and yet would not lose focus when it had not successfully put up his aims and objectives? Are you telling me that other parties like CPC will sink their giants for young industrialists/Career Personnel to take over? When a little drop of integrity falls into a large ocean of corruption, what effect does it have? These questions and many more beyond the scope of my analysis today filled my heart but nevertheless, I remain muted and watch what would unfold of this new union. Of Course, my predictions saw the light of reality when the power hungry general (GMB) swept the APC primaries to emerge as the presidential candidate for 2015. I muttered in silence: “CHANGE INDEED”. Then, I could not help myself questioning the place of this young industrialist in the newly formed party. My answer was clear: they are become small boys as against their aged-father who now pilot the affairs of the party. I then hissed-off and proposed that we are not going to be fair if we would consider GMB fit to replace GEJ on the account of their source. Both are from a corrupted source but what matter now is individual analysis and weigh of personality. To support my point, can you compare exploits by the young lawyer (BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA) before the merging and after the merging? The answer is “NO”. Why? Some principles have been developed as a source of Internally Generated Revenue for the new party and they have to be sponsored by their members who hold key positions in the political realm of the country. The weirdest thing happened to the party when Corrupt-Giant from PDP deflected to APC because they sense the tiny chances in retaining their seat for the next election. And yet, someone comes to the public to announce that APC is corruption-free without covering his face with his palms. Is it the past reputation of the party that carries the majority now? No! the present majority is corruption and it cannot be replaced by any other name than corruption. My heart was so embittered by BOLA AHMED TINUBU selfish act to have accepted the merging and I came to the understanding that he was also hungry to get more power so that he can covert the whole country to his asset after discovering that when you remove his asset from LAGOS STATE, nothing is left. Things worked against him as Muslim-Muslim ticket posed a threat to his candidature. Now, the purity of APC is reflected in one of their godfathers and as a matter of fact the major man behind the essence and survival of the party. On further research, I discover that BOLA AHMED TINUBU was into CHANGE by chance because he had succeeded doing nothing serious during his regime as the Governor of Lagos State and had only taken glory on another man’s antecedent. The only things he did while he was on seat was conversion of public property to his private property and now he has nominated a corrupt son (AKINWUNMI AMBODE) to take over as against the nominee of BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA even when we all know that the corrupt son was forced to resign due to corruption. He recalled the challenge he faced in the early days of BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA’s regime and would not dare giving his loyalist a trial Many accrued the quarrel to the fact that the Federal Government paid the money the previous administration didn’t pay to the state and BOLA AHMED TINUBU was asking for his share. Then I asked for the constitution that states that the governor of the state has a share of public funds. Yet, APC is full of men with integrity. Come to also know that OLUSEGUN OBASANJO was the one who refused to release funds to LAGOS STATE then and now he sings in favour of the ruling party of the state. I am sorry to say, OBASANJO is an old fool (Agba Iya). He behaved too childish. A self-acclaimed elder-state-man with no sense of humour. Baba, though I am from your state of origin, you are a disgrace to me and all race of Yoruba men. Oga, who is fooling who? Losing your godfatherism grip in PDP was a result of your pride and insincerity. Baba, you have right to come to the public and call PDP corrupt when you were one of the strong men that plunged it into corruption. You are a SHAME! You carry your pen and paper take write your resignatory letter and you think say na everyone go behave like a Yoruba man to come ask you why abi? If he pain you say you don loose grip, find a way to make it work, no empty seat in APC. And also, if you are doing this to make the Hausa nation think you support them, stop it! You are too old for those things. Speak in sincerity of your fatherland. You knew Buhari was better and you never stepped down for him when he contested against you. You even lead two other leaders outside yourself to the seat while the old man was desperate to seat on the presidential seat and prove equality with you as both an Military and a Civilian President To all the APC fans, it is lack of integrity to say that GEJ has done nothing in the past 4 years. Don’t take after your present presidential candidate because he will surely come and go but the party remains. Try to uphold the standarf on which the ACN party was laid. The ACN never fed the party with propaganda before they won LAGOS STATE. Their exploits spoke for them. GMB is a man of integrity which I do not disagree but I need to ask you some questions: “Why did he contest 4 times without a WASSCE certificate when he knows that the minimum requirement for presidency of this country is WASSCE certificate?” “How did he get APC #24,000,000 form purchase fund when he has #1,000,000 in his account?” “Where did Aisha Buhari get the #153,000,000 she used to donate drugs victims of insurgency when her husband does not even have up to 0.01% of that money in his account?” Charity begins at home. What are the works of GMB in Daura (His Hometown)? He simply lies under the auspices of #1,000,000 in his account to deceive everyone that he was incapacitated. The same GMB promised to implement Sharia law all across Africa with the present level of modernization? When asked at a conference, he referred to the constitution which was filled with Sharia law. Am I even sure he has read through his constitution. #ThatConstitutionNeedsAmendments In 2012, he urged the Federal Government to stop killing BOKO HARAM after they had sent hundreds to their early grave. Under what mindset? He further appeal to the Federal Government not to be too quick to pass a notion on BOKO HARAM members and recently, he complain of the insurgency in aim to use it as a campaign strategy. If the Federal Government had followed his notion, nothing would have been done by now and yet he is being tagged as a man of integrity In 1982, he decapacitated our Army in fear of a military coup and that affected them as they had to face the BOKO that is more than a million percent equipped than them and we expect them to overcome. If they were your children, would you sent them to war without weapons. Chief Buhari, have you ever sent your children to school without books and biro? After APC took over the majority of the house, it became a problem to pass the bill of $1,000,000 the Federal Government requested to fight insurgency and yet they expect foolish soldiers to go and fight armed terrorist with their fist. Everybody shouted GEJ’s name as regarding insecurity issue when GMB lies down in the North waiting to come and contest for another election. He never moved a motion to call their offspring to order but only called for mercy. As a matter of fact, BOKO HARAM chose GMB as their spokesman to the Federal Government which means that he has capacity to prevail but he didn’t. He has promised us to stop BOKO HARAM. Is it using the military you once decapacitated or implementing Sharia law? SAI BUHARI!!!! I complained of his old age but a quite number of people said it doesn’t matter. What were your comment about his recent flops in the full meaning of his flagging party and his vice-president’s candidate? What reputation will his ascension bring to a country loaded with professors and intellect? In this age, GMB is not even fit to be a minister of defense; he should better go and be an elder stateman like his fellow general. There is more room for him over there and he can contribute more to the growth and development of this country there I don’t have more time again as I am already on my third page. It is left to Nigerians. Today, we are choosing our destiny for another half-decade. Our future, hope, destiny and survival are in our hands Think wisely God Bless Nigeria #NigeriansDecides ONNI, Joseph Yusuf A Re-defined Politician/Human Right Activist and Sensitizer 1 Like |

Firstly, i would like to say that i am very impressed in Goodluck Jonathan's Statemanship in accepting defeat and congratulating his opponent and successor. This shows that Nigerians should learn to love one another and live in peace and unity. It's also a happy day for most Nigerians that voted for GMB. I want to also congratulate the General for his victory. I also would like to implore Nigerians, starting from all nairalanders to pray for our president elect to govern us to the promised land. I pray that God helps our president elect to fulfill the people's need in improving the nation and impressing the people. May God help you to prove that you are not just different but also better. Buhari please don't disappoint Nigerians, the people that chose you. May God help you, help Nigerians and help our dear Nation Nigeria. ameen thumma ameen. |
