Fellow Nigerians,

Do not be carried away by all this media noises of APC.

The solution to Nigeria remains with Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.


Lies from the pit of hell. For 6 years, all his development agenda has been suffering and you want to tell us that we still need Jonathan as President. Thank God he knows the game has change now. You and him can only tell that to fools.

Reference:
Well Mr. Thompson this is a double-edged sword that may just become a tin opener to some pandoras box. Of course it is good and right to forgive but in Nigeria that is often what people lament about. That people do all sorts of things here and time simply erodes the evidence, the facts and the will to act in seeking redress. That it has been the singular factor responsible for recycling leadership and preventing the establishment of institutions.

Are you saying that in 30years all the 'sins' of the present administration be forgiven and GEJ be given another shot at leadership. We know that because this is a nascent democracy and the paucity of competent candidates has thrust Buhari on us but we also stand to risk it all if we cannot found principles now. It will certainly promote or sustain one form of impunity or the other.

Finally, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and a couple of other Latin American countries passed through similar situation, brutal military dictatorships that violated on the platform of nationalism and patriotism. Though they felt they were doing the right, their societies have not forgiven them and even today 40, even 50 years later, many are still going to jail.

It may not be our desire to see this because we have this x-factor that continues to plague our polity, society and country. That is, we are never, never, ever spoilt for choices. Rather we are always, always between and betwix having to choose the lesser of two evils. Always managing leadership.... Why?

If I was right beside you as I read this, I'd kiss and hug you!

Am proven right again.
How many times did I said in the past that it was Rafindadi that clamped most people into jail under decree 2 and 4 and Buhari personally?
That does not absolve Buhari from taking responsibility of what happened because it happened under the government he headed. But it's good to set facts straight.

And what does this tell you about Jonathan and his advisers. You went in front of the world to dispense an inaccurate information, only for the actual victim to come out and debunk your claim.

That's embarrassing.

[size=18pt]Only witches and wizards and demonic people don't want Nigeria to change from the present woes.
For Christ sake, over 40 million jobless Nigerians are suffering under GEJ.
When Buhari was head of state, Igbo businesses were flourishing in northern Nigeria and when the Boko Haram of that era surfaced, Buhari crushed the terrorists and secured the lives and properties of Igbos.
GEJ has failed woefully as head of state and Commander-in-Chief and making excuses for his failures. His lack of administrative accountability is the worst in the history of modern Nigeria. And he tells lies without shame. Beware of a leader who cannot honour and keep his world. He has been in office for 6 years and still flip-flopping in his corrupt and incompetent paddy-paddy government of political conceit and deceit.

Read what Cardinal Okogie said below.

[size=14pt]Jonathan Should Learn From History, Forget 2nd Term, Cardinal Okojie Warns Again[/size]

Former Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, has again advised President Goodluck Jonathan to forget about a second term in office because he does not deserve it.

Former Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, has again advised President Goodluck Jonathan to forget about a second term in office because he does not deserve it.

Speaking with SaharaReporters late yesterday from Nigeria, the retired cardinal, a founding member and former leader of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), recalled a conversation he had with Mr. Jonathan while he was still deputy. According to him, when the president asked him for prayers, he had insisted that Mr. Jonathan should first specify his prayer intentions. He said the president seemed at first shocked, but reluctantly revealed that he intended to run for office again.
Disclosing that the encounter happened in the presence of four other people, Cardinal Okojie said he told Jonathan that he could win but would not govern peacefully.

The cardinal, who was known for his fiery outspokenness against both abusive and corrupt military dictatorships as well as corrupt elected officials, stated that Mr. Jonathan was surrounded by sycophants who keep misleading him. Describing the recent formal adoption of Mr. Jonathan as the sole candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as dangerous, the prelate urged the president to look at Nigeria’s history and see what has happened to sole party candidates in the past.

Turning his attention to CAN, Cardinal Okojie said the religious organization had become bastardized. He accused the group’s former leader, Reverend Sunday Mbang, of turning CAN it into an appendage of President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration. Even so, he added that whatever Mbang did pales into insignificance compared with what Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, CAN’s current leader, has done with the organization.Asked if he was troubled by recent attacks on him by some hirelings of President Jonathan and Oritsejafor, Cardinal Okojie dismissed them. He added that, having been to the frontline during the Nigerian civil war as a chaplain, verbal attacks did not bother him in the least.

Even Ekwueme had nothing bad to say about GMB in his recent interview but praised him for dealing with maitatsine crisis that reared its head again in 1984.

good on you mr Thompson. What is plaguing this country today is worse than whatever happened in 1984

Fellow Nigerians, it's high time we come together and frown at corrupt leaders in our
dear
country. Let us as a matter of fact avoid prejudice in this forth coming election. To All
Christians, never be deceived by the propaganda of someone planning to Islamize our
dear
country. Vote the right man who has shown discipline in All the various capacity he has
served in the past. Flash back to the Bible, God used king Cyrus to build his house in
Jerusalem, restoration of stolen ornaments to the house of the lord and so on.

ONE HONEST LEADER.
How can a former Head of State who earns 300 million
Naira per annum, say he has no N27 Million to buy
presidential nomination form? A very pertinent
question, I must say. And as someone who believes in
knowing the truth before acting, I took my enquiry to
the Nigerian ministry of finance and this was the
response I got: Yes, it is true, All heads of states collect
on the average 23 million Naira every month, apart
from General Muhammadu Buhari. He (General Buhari)
objected to collecting most of the allowances,insisting
they were bogus and therefore amount to corruption.
He personally wrote a letter to the ministry to that
effect. As a result he collected only N2.3M a month
equivalent of 10% of what he is entitled, which he
believes is his legitimate earnings!! Imagine how
honest this man is!! May God give us the wisdom to
accept reality. Please let's vote wisely, we need a
leader that can fight corruption. Buhari is that leader.
Investigation also has it on authority that he is the only
one amongst past presidents who returns his car after
a 4 year cycle for a replacement as required. Others get
the new and keep the old. Share with Nigerians.
This is a campaign material please pass on and share
within your circle of influence if you align with
operation CHANGE.... #Vote CHANGE....otherwise, feel
