this is coming from a Jonathan apologist. We know where you stand guy, that we ignore you doesn't mean we are fools

Cheers

barcanista:
I greet you too. The question I keep asking myself is "what have the Ijaws benefited from this Government"? What about the entire Niger Delta people? It is not just about this SNC but about us as a people. Land is messed up, unemployment is rife in the delta, street cultism have been resurrected, ogoni is a sorry case, how will you justify PEJ a fellow Okrikan/Ijaw supporting Nyesome Wike for 2015 guber after the Ikwerres ruled for 8years and upland 16years against the yearnings of the Riverine/Ijaws?
Is Wike Exceptional? No
Isn't it because he's a "loyal boy"?
Do we need a prophet to tell us that the Ijaw interest is being relegated to satisfy theirs?

I think they are the people against Ijaw Interest not myself.

Isn't it clear that Nigeria is 500years behind schedule under this PDP administration?

barcanista:
Buhari's declaration was basically premised on rescuing Nigeria from the hands of the failed system headed by President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP.

Jonathan's declaration was basically on consolidating on the "phantom" achievement of his government that only exist on internet and on the pages of Newspaper.

I don't know why Jonathanians won't understand that Gen Muhammadu Buhari will not be able to tell the "how" on a declaration ground, that is why there is campaign and manifesto. Nigerians also have the opportunity to know who's got the Best idea and plans during the political debate(which Jonathan ran away from in 2011).

I assure you all that with a President Buhari, it is development gallore powered by fiscal discipline, rule of law and executive discipline.

Buhari For President 2015

[b]You know what.. In all honesty, that arguement about PEJ & Wike is one that I can never win. You dont need to ask me if Wike is exceptional, I have known Wike from way before his time as Obio Akpor LGA chairman and I would not nominate him for Governor of boys scouts talkless of Governor of Rivers State.

In fairness, the only south-Southerners that have really benefitted from Jonathan are his fellow Bayelsans (mostly ex-militants & his loyalists) who he has given contracts worth billions to and opened up many doors for them in power. I mean, look at this Ijaw boy Timi Dakolo wey no get any better album to ehn name now don turn the official National Musician wey dey sing National anthem for events.

Rivers State has never had it this Bad from the FG ever before. Under Jonathan, the FG through the commissioner of Police (Mbu) made Rivers State ungovernable. Crime rate which was previously low increased. The Rivers State House of Assembly was rendered handicapped by 5 unruly and cult-affiliated members sponsored by the Federal Government. Oil wells belonging to the state were assigned to Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa state though shady boundary readjustments.

The only thing the Niger-Delta has gotten from the FG in terms of 'infrastrusture' is the half completed East-West road. The LNG brass project that I thought the FG would have used its powers to influence is still ladened with unnecessary bottlenecks caused by the NNPC. The Samsung Heavy Industries yard that was supposed to be sited in Bayelsa state is facing similar hold ups.


I know deep down in my Heart that Jonathan has failed the Niger Deltans.. No be lie. But why do you think General Buhari is the better alternative? That is the part that concerns me the most. If we were talking local Rivers State politics, I would have said okay, because even I would not be voting PDP in the Gubernatorial elections come 2015. I dont wish to have Wike or anybody else associated with Wike and Obuah to be anywhere near Rivers States Government house. Those people are part of the Cankerworm that has plagued Rivers State for long. Infact, I would rather vote a one eyed puppy as governor than vote the present rivers State PDP. But at the National level, I am still very much with PDP.. [/b]

Ibnsultan." Gej is a comprehensive failure
I will miss u bro

omenka:
Buhari/APC as a matter of DUTY must keep"blasting" the president and PDP, that is why they are called the "OPPOSITION"!! Do you buttress your opponent's points in a debate or assist your opponent/competitor to victory in a contest?? Hell NO!

Get that into your vacuous head Sicko.

The Difference Between GEJ's Declaration And
Buhari's Declaration.
Why Gen Buhari wasted all his time lambasting GEJ
and forgot to tell Nigerians what magic wand he has
to solve all our perennial challenges within a twinkle
of an eye. Gen Buhari lacks vision to move this
country forward.
GEJ NEVER discussed or mentioned persons rather he
marshalled out his achievements with a promise to
do more...Let's do politics of ideas and issues not
character assassination and propaganda. His
support base cuts across Nigeria too as shown by
the different support groups....
Truth.
Its funny that APC does not seem to have a party
platform. For a party that claims to be revolutionary
and progressive the only thing I ever here from them
is Jonathan this, Jonathan that...
I mean what is their opinion on the local content
policy in the oil and gas sector?Do they think it
should be implemented in other sectors of the
economy?
what is their stance on the PIB Bill? (VERY
IMPORTANT!!!)
What do they think about the governments auto
policy and its implementation?
what do they think about Jonathans agricultural
agenda?
Do they think Nigeria is practicing true federalism?
Do they think improvements can be made in its
implementation?
What steps are they going to take to curb
corruption?
What is the their stance on Nigeria's decision to
refuse to sign the EU EPA agreement? (VERY VERY
IMPORTANT!!!!)
Do they support resource control?
How do they intend to put a stop to Boko harams
activities and bring peace to the North? (VERY VERY
IMPORTANT!!!)
How do they intend to solve our power problem?
Do they agree with Jonathan's privatization of PHCN?
What do they think of the federal governments plans
to privatize the airports?
How do they plan to diversify the economy?
Are they Pro big government or small government?
Do they agree with the federal governments plans to
privatize various sectors of the economy?
What do they think about the current state of
Nigeria's foreign policy?
How do they intend to put a stop to Gas pipeline
Vandalism in the country? (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)
What is their thoughts on the Chinese and their
growing footprint in Nigeria?
Do they support the federal governments decision to
give so many contracts worth billions of dollars to
Chinese firms?
So many questions

barcanista:
My boss, you have spoken well. It is people like you that I love to work with and promote. Very Objective and blunt. From Buhari's angle, he is a thorough disciplinarian, a no-nonsense corrupt-free military officer. What we need now is fiscal discipline and an end to executive rascality. This will set a bedrock for sustainable development and will give us all opportunity to contribute to change the system.
He is not God, but he has the quality that we seek to stamp lawlessness out. When corruption is stamped out and mismanagement is tackled, there will be enough money for development of the country.

Candyrain:
OP isn't saying you should buttress opponents point or assist but rather Buhari should make his point on what he'll do right which GEJ did wrong, what alternative ideas he has against GEJ's policies and not for him to spend all his time calling GEJ names and not what he can offer Nigerians.

paramedic:
Can we have this on front page pls!!
My dear barcanista, any thing to say about the points made by the op?


If you wish to quote me, pls make it civil

nationwide1:
Great observation op. Sometimes it seems their only manifesto is spewing venom of vituperation. They even say insult and criticism are the same. They count it as achievement for governors that insult president. They look more clueless than the PDP thereby conferring on PDP a super star status.

Okijajuju1:



This is the democratic era.. Gen. Buhari wouldnt even know how to put on the light bulb inside Aso rock as it stands.

And to call him corruption free is very unwise.. He was a Military dictator that stiffled the press and had direct control over EVERYTHING.. His time with the PTF is still something of a grey area in his resume.

If Buhari is the only hope, then I am sorry.. I would stick with Jonathan..

Okijajuju1:



As a Nigerian, I dont want Jonathan to last in office until december sef.. But if his replacement is Buhari, Atiku and most of those the APC are touting, then I would rather stick with Jonathan.

barcanista:
This is where I disagree with you here Sir.

Gen Buhari though headed a Military government, he wasn't a dictator nor dispot. He delegated powers to Idiagbon, the Ministers while he gives direction and policy making/supervision. At PTF all the account of PTF was audited annually. Even President Obasanjo found nothing against him. This is baseless Sir!!! Please reconsider

DelGardo:

Good for you.
Not sure the families hiding in the forests of Mubi, and many other points north of where you are chilling, feel the same way about sticking with GEJ.

brownlord:


Yup, as expected, since the post won't allow you a Google search to spew your usual gibberish,I must be a Jonathanian or TAN for requesting how APC wish to govern me right?

Listen son, so many Nigeria want change, very many are frustrated, with Jonathan/PDP government, they need change and are as confused as i am.

Tell APC to stop criticizing Jonathan and focus on telling us what they will do for us. How they will build bridge from East to North, give free education from Primary to University, How they will end BH and put a smile on our face, redeem the image of Nigeria, this is what we need.

Telling us Jonathan is ogogoro, kindergarten president and all the balderdash APC is feeding us with senseless at this time when we need to know how to intend to govern better than Jonathan.

For the record again, If your party won't sit up and proffer solution to the problems they criticize Jonathan of daily, it means i won't be voting come feb. 2015. Not voting GEJ and won't vote for a party who's only mandate is to take power without having any plans on how to govern better than the present incompetent / Clueless Jonathan as they call him

Okijajuju1:



O puuleeeeze!


What would Buhari or the APC do differently from what Jonathan has done so far?

DelGardo:


I don't know what Buhari will do but I can suggest some things he will NEVER do

-He will never budget over N1.3Billion for food in one year

DelGardo:

-He will never be afraid to visit Chibok or Mubi

DelGardo:

-Neither will he ever stay away from Eagle square to celebrate national events it was built for knowing that a president represents the collective courage of the citizens of a country.

DelGardo:

-He will never award contracts for protection of our critical oil facilities/waterways to a known millitant.

DelGardo:

-He will never cavort with ex-convicts.

DelGardo:

-He will never pardon people who jumped bail for crimes against the state.

DelGardo:

-Neither will he ever give them national awards.

DelGardo:

-He will never award several contracts for eastern roads and pay money to the contractors for doing nothing.

DelGardo:

-He will never maintain a fleet of over 8 serviceable aircraft in the presidential fleet and have the indecency to wish to acquire more for a country without a national airline.

DelGardo:

You want more?

Okijajuju1:


A budget is not actual but planned..

And visiting them mwould help solve the problem how?!

- Pfft.. Inconsequential.. If staying away is a matter of National Security then I think its wise he does.

- WHo better to protect the pipes than those who previously worked to vandalise them?! Win-Win..

- 'Ex' being the operative word.. A prison/conviction is meant to be corrective and punitive not to make someone an outcast. 'Ex' means they have served their time for their crime.

- O well.. PArdoning criminals is nothing new.

- Reference above comments.

- Dont know what you are talking about here.. Normally, contracts are paid for by Milestones or on a reimbursible basis.. Do you have proof that works undone have been paid for in advance?

- No Comments.. Except I dont see what the big deal is.. The FG has sold off some aircrafts.

- I was speaking with reference to Boko Haram..

DelGardo:


That will be a pointless exercise on my part. You don't see a lot wrong with working with criminals, so we clearly have different scales for evaluating performance, competence, right and wrong.

Not sure I have the stamina to engage in drivel.. have a lovely day, Sir.
