Dis is my sincere opinion on d proposed NATIONAL DIALOGUE: Is it necessary? YES!
Is it going to yield desired result? I SINCERELY HOPE SO!
Is it time for d dialogue? ITS LONG
OVERDUE!
But, is d time right for it? NO! NO!
NO!
Its a pity dat we nigerians (esp d masses) play more politis than d politicians. when we interpret every opinion, however objetive, as "political" we are simply "playing politics".
Senator Bola Tinubu, National leader, APC, returned to d con3 over d weekend and condemned d call for national dialogue AT DIS
TIME, and since then, many ppl hav bn calling him names on several fora, simply bcoz he is of d opposition party. I am not a fan of tinubu nor APC. Neida I'm i a fan of GEJ. But of d two men, if anyone is playing politcs with dis SERIOUS ISSUE of national dialogue, its GEJ.

As a sitting president, and one seeking re-election in 2015, he has become d #1
politician in nig.
Again, 2013 is almost gone; and we all know wat 2014 posit for all political parties. d qst then is: WHEN WILL D OKURONMU LED COMMITEE CONCLUDE CONSULTATIONS (6 weeks will end in Nov).
What abt budget issues. dat means dis yr would hav ended before we hear anything from
dat committee.
Next yr, GEJ (weda he is contesting or not), PDP & all oda political
parties will be heated up for campaigns and politicking. What time will we hav for national
confab?

Again, remember dat d Okunromu led committee is only "advisory". its findings/advice will be subjected to weeks of scrutiny
and debate both by NASS & FG to take wat they can and drop wat will not be permissible.
I dont see dis happening in less than 6 months. by which time we are in d thick of politicking and campaign for 2015.
D national confab is a welcomed development but ill-timed and diversionary in its wake. it shld be d FIRST and not d LAST thin a sitting govt/administration shld be concerned about.

Thus, it shld be and agendum for AFTER 2015. not before it. Hence, in my opinion, GEJ is using
dis to gain cheap popularity (by giving Nigerians wat we are yearning for most). And its a pity, as always we are falling for it.

In other countries of d world where a referendum has bn held, der is no record of it taking place in a rush nor less than two yrs of
planning. if u hav not seen d reasons i hav reeled out, ITS A PITY! but atleast, u'll be sensible enuf to know dat it is d same ppl
who will be campaigning dat will be involved in planning and organizing d dialogue.

And how long would it take to get delegates from various regions? or do u expect d same politicians to rep d ppl in ds dialogue. unles u
dont know d magnitude of wat nig & nigerians are getting into, u are sounding a bit naive.

No! not so my bro Musa&Chinedu. not d confab. but its TIMING! now its just a political tool. we all
hrd GEJ say he was against it bfor. but now, at d twilight of his first tenure (if der's gonna be a sec) he has suddenly been struk by
lightening and now thinks its d only way forward. well, i may not be old but i think i'm old enuf to know nigerian politics and i've
followed it enuf to know a political program when i see one.

We all know d best way to campaign (esp in nig) is to giv d ppl wat they yearn for most. GEJ is playing politis now


Do i want confab? YES!
Does Nigerians want it? YES!
Will it solve our nemerous issues?
YES!
IN fact, d centinary celebration would hav been a perfect timing! buh GEJ, prefering politics to
solving real issues, didnt start early in planning for it.

If we will have a sovereign national conference then it is a welcome development

but if we are having a national dialogue then forget it, it is just a mere political gimmick

What difference does splitting nigeria into family units make? Nigerians are dumb to the grassroot. Isn't it true that one of the rebels that are fighting for socalled niger delta emancipation bought a private jet? How is he different frim obj,Atiku,oyedepo or damjuma?

Abi na wetin man go come do now oo?
I haven't commented on the dialogue gimmick yet because I know what it entails.

GEJ has become the low of the lowest in Nigeria. I just hope some people are actually focused amidst all these disasters created by GEJ, I just hope some in the high powers are focused on how they will kill GEJ, or exit him and give him a trial on television for treason against the people he claimed voted for him in 2011..

Treason! GEJ is behind Boko Haram!!! GEJ is using Boko Haram... And he will use it again should the heat be turn on him again.

You moslems and your bitterness,always ranting and happy for blood. God wil purnish you people and ur stvpid prophet mohammed that thought you how to kill.

As long as It is to call off the bluff about who chairs the cutting of the cake, it will be a battle they have to fight between themselves.

If GEJ is using boko haram, I guess he must have used it against the APC governors that went to borno and yobe state.

And to my other fellow, its a sin to curse a servant of God.

We should all watch our mouth and guide our mind well pls.
