 Politics › Re: FG Plans To Ban Importation Of Vehicles by 1MCN: 6:46pm On Sep 17, 2013 |
youngmonie: such a useless idea thta would never see the lite of day, You know how many businesses are involved in car dealership esp that of foreign made cars?...you know how many people d sector emplys?......That mean gej would get rid of all those SLS and CLS that ferry him and other government officials. If all this 9ja made cars with "Chinese technology" are that good, the Nigerian market is big enough they can compete without the need for suc actions by the government................If they that good, how come we dnt see them in dealership everywhere.....even Coscharis wont put those things on showcase.Believe me, brother, most of our car importers have enough money to open up at least an assembling plant. Coscharis can in fact open a manufacturing plant. But you what, they wouldn't cos it's easier to buy and sale cars, the risks are far less. But our society suffers. Nigerians like quick-fix too much. Do you think Orient refinery in Anambra would be so serious, or that Dangote would have taken up such a huge risk of putting up a refinery if not that it's become obvious that fuel subsidy is at the departure lounge in our country? They know that if by any means GEJ returns in 2015, he must fully deregulate the downstream sector of oil before 2019. Even if a car importer can not open a car manufacturing plant, he can at least go into spare parts manufacturing. Another gain that this will bring is in the education sector. Industries will begin to sponsor academic researches in schools as is obtainable in other advanced economies of the world. 2 Likes |

This will definitely bring with it a plethora of pains for the populace. But then the truth is, this is going to bring about an uncommon tilling in the Automobile industry. A lot of new plants, jobs, and innovation. Korea went into this hardline for ten whole years! And the result: all the Korean cars that flood our roads today. So, in the long term, this is very gainful. 12 Likes |

kingoflag: And in ur infinite idiocy this is not a "New Party"?Although I'd have preferred it better if you had not used a foul and abusive language, but let me answer you all the same. As a wiseman, in your reckoning, this is a new party? What constitutes a new political party? Mind you that am not a PDP member or sympathizer (and may never be). If you get to Rumuola flyover you'd see a lot of concocted Amaechi's Presidential posters under PDM, would you say that even PDM is a political party in Nigeria? I understand you'd really dream each night of waking up to see PDP totally dead and buried for good, whether out of inelastic hate or whatever, but I feel your pain cos I know what it means when ASUU and FG seem to be drawing your future by the hem. I also suffered a similar pain several years back in this country. |

If Amaechi comes out of this unbruised, then at least he must have lost plenty of energy. I said it earlier that when opposition was cheering him up it wasn't as if they liked him so much and would want him in their fold, they just loved it that he was fighting their percieved enemy, GEJ. All Amaechi's political property are packed in the PDP, if he goes away he'll be "destituted". Mrs Ibim Seminitari, his Commissioner of Information is now growing tired of defending the governor's actions and utterances. When she talks on tv and radio these days she stammers. 1 Like |

All they are after is jus to cease power.This is coming barely two days after the gov returned from Abj from the reconciliation meeting with the President and was reported as saying that they agreed on staying low and calm. If he had worked to dis-allow a member of his cabinet from being the one launching that secretariate. Am afraid Amaechi may be hurting himself here. As I type this, Amaechi and hundreds of visitors have been denied access to the govt house as the police blocked the entrance to govt house following the escalating chaos. This, am not too sure, is a good development, however. 1 Like |

The New PDP faction led by Abubakar Baraje launched a new secretariate today, 12 Sept., 2013 in Port Harcourt. The secretariate located at #38, Old GRA was commissioned by the Chief of Staff to the Rivers state governor, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi. However, members of the Rivers state Command of the Nigeria Police Force stormed the venue of the event as the occassion was beginning to cause some sort of upheaval. They ordered the organizers to remove the already hoisted flag of the party in the venue. It is reported that PDP members from Rivers had thronged the site and tried to stop the event before the police intervention team arrived the venue to forestall total breakdown of law and order. |

Of course, I may be accused of being one of GEJ's apologists, but I patiently read thru this because I wanted to see how the writer wanted to convince his readers with concrete facts and figures that GEJ has been a woeful disappointment in this his tenure, but alas, I was disappointed. He extrapolated every claim in his writer, appealing to that same sentiment he's trying to write against. No hard facts, only sentiments. It's foolish of me to say that GEJ has transformed all of Nigeria to a model modern society. No. But I'd be unfair if I say I've not personally been experiencing improvements in electric power supply at both home and office, that the Federal highways around my regular travel routes (PH, ABA, Imo, Delta, Edo, Lagos, Anambra, Bayelsa, etc) have not improved (except, for those who know it, the hellish Port Harcourt to Obigbo__Aba roda). We can hardly deny the improvements in the aviation (yes, they may not be the best, but if Femi Fani-Kayode had not left his duties as aviation minister to pursue ukwu nwanyi Owerri, we'd had some already existing stone to build on). We cant disputes the efforts of both Agric and Trades ministers. And indeed a few other sectors. As for the noise about booting GEJ out, don't bother. It's just by a pocket size loud mouthed minority. If GEJ has performed dismally and has wholly lost public approval, no need for the call for him to jettison his 2nd term ambition. If he's a woe then opposition should rather hope he's fielded by the PDP. 4 Likes |

50calibre: Nigerian army is a joke, almost anyone can become a General, once you have the right connections.I agree with with some parts of your expressed view, albeit its somewhat soiled with unverified extrapolation. It's in a bid to meet the standard that you've just spoken about (which had been thrown away over the years) that the COAS insisted on the mandatory promotion exam last time. Am sure you know what happened after the results came out. In case you dont know, those who couldnt pass said he, Ihejirika, did a nepotic promotion. When the whole thing was unveiled they hid their faces in shame. I personally believe that merit must suffice. Yes. No matter who's to loss. 3 Likes |

Becos PDP won u wanna pull the ceiling. Anoda case is PDP Obanikoro election in Lagos controlled by APC that was won by Obanikoro but declared 2 ACN. APC are Hypocrites!!!!!!If I get what you mean, sister, you think it is the default nature of the Offa people. Well, I'll admit that I dont know these people very well and their political history and temparements. It it seems to defy rational thinking that the entire Offa people would choose to vote in any politician only on the condition that s/he belongs to opposition-- even when they have a clearly more credible candidate contesting on the plattform of the ruling party, just to remain in opposition. My opinion is that the choice of the Offa people in that last Saturday LG re-run should suffice no matter what plattform it was s/he stands--ruling or opposition! |

Suffice it to say that a reasonable number of Nigerians with considerable political awareness have over the years had to deal with several dissappointments with the PDP government style both at different local levels and at the national. This disappointment informed the "sympathy" solidarity which most non-career politicians had for the APC during and upon its official registration by INEC. However, the so much media gyrations and noisemaking which the APC has encumbered itself with seem to turn citizens who're expecting an articulate and calculative opposition off. The just concluded LG re-run election in Offa, Kwara state has dropped a heavy and undismissable lesson for the APC. Before the election, the APC had gone into its media gyrations again threatening to floor the state ruling PDP. Unofficial results posted in the e-media by the APC during the election had read, 'APC cruises with landslide victory...', etc. While politicians and their media bricklayers may use propaganda to sway public opinion, it is important to let the APC know that elections are hardly won by propaganda and noisemaking. A lot of citizens have long yearned for a credible option over the ruling PDP and the APC must make pragmatic efforts to reposition itself for more elections ahead: Anambra 2013, Ekiti 2014, and general elections 2015. Otherwise we might be in for the surprise of our lives. 3 Likes |

Commutting from Akwakuma, Orlu Road, into Owerri capital is usually a nightmare for people on daily basis due to the abandoned flyover project on a section of the road. This flyover has turned into a death trap as abandoned construction works (excavation) coupled with erosion have left deep gullies on several sections of the road. It now takes sometimes over one hour to pass through that less-than-10metre junction (this is the road that leads to the governor's hometown from Owerri capital). Today from about 11:40 am to 12: 20pm, the governor made a brief stop at the Amakohia market where he had a chat with the marketers and "prayed" with them. For as long as this 40minute stopover, both axes of this narrow road were completely cordoned off by the governor's security aids! For forty minutes the governor and his accolytes didnt care if the Federal Medical Centre just few metres away has an emergency medical evacuation what the fate of the patient would be! They didnt care about citizens who may have serious appointments to catch. They didnt care about the long traffic building on both lanes now nearing 500M! They forgot that Imo is an academic state where a student or lecturer may be pursuing an exam (I ran into one who had to jump out of his Keke to meet up at Polynek)! When I complained about this vocally it turned into an altercation between me and one of his Mopols. While I may not disagree with Okorocha in every thing, as he seems to have done a few good things, it annoys me how these politicians make themselves the standards of lawlessness and inconsideration in our society! |
