No offense bro..can you pinpoint with proof what Gej did wrong

joseph1832:
1. Immigration Job Scam
2. Boko Haram Insurgency
3. Massive looting (right under his nose)
4. Corruption
5. Having a wife that he can't control.

This man is still indirectly defending fraud, the likes of which has never been seen anywhere in the world.

Becoming a pastor will not protect Omokri when all is said and done. Omokri was well aware of the raping of Nigeria by his colleagues but he did not resign in protest.

Reno, even you may end up in jail or remain in permanent exile.

uzolexis:


*blushing* thanks and I'm doing fine.

uzolexis:

no matter how you look at it Reno made valid points. I never supported Jonathan, i was a big critic of Jonathan and I never supported buhari during the elections as well so I'm neither APC nor PDP as both are the same to me but I can't talk about Jonathan now cos he is no longer our president and has little or no power to turn things around presently. The person in charge now is Buhari and that's who our eyes are on. this is a very constructive critique of Buhari's leadership and if I were you, I would not care whether or not he told jonathan the truth as that is a non-issue now. Yes, I don't expect miracles but I need to know that this govt. actually has a good and clear economic plan for us and from what I see they don't. they are just working with trial and error, no direction, 1 person says one thing today, another says a different thing tomorrow.......

The trials of the ministers of former President Goodluck Jonathan, with the conviction of some of them for misappropriations of public funds and the fact that several of them admitted and now returning them is more than enough proof that Mr.Jonathan was a corrupt and incompetent President of Nigeria.

He was the most incompetent Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces since the independence of Nigeria in 1960 as shown by his poor intelligence in the prosecution of the war against the Book Haram insurgency that would have been exterminated in 2011, but he deliberately escalated it in order to misappropriate the revenue allocated for the Ministry of Defence which he and several ministers, state governors and loyalists of his corrupt ruling party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) used for their selfish political campaigs and acquisitions of private properties in Lagos, Abuja, Dubai, UK and the US. Real estate agents have all their documents.

Even as the Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr. Jonathan misappropriated both state funds and foreign aid which he also used to host a Jay Z and Beyonce concert for USD1 million.
The list is long.

I was contracted to launch the Transform Nigeria Network social media for his second term presidential campaign, but we stopped when we discovered that billions of dollars that was allocated to end the insurgency of Boko Haram terrorists were misappropriated by Mr. Jonathan and his cohorts.
The most annoying was his failure to rescue the kidnapped Chibok school girls, because of his lack of control of the Nigerian military. Then he and his wife were dancing and drinking with hip hop artistes whilst Boko Haram suicide bombers were killing hundreds of innocent citizens of Nigeria. Instead of disarming the Niger Delta militants in accordance with the rules of engagement of the Amnesty programme, he gave them multimillion dollar contracts for purchase of arms meant for the Nigerian Armed Forces. His maladministration is the cause of present economic crisis for which hypocrites and political sycophants of Mr. Jonathan are blaming President Muhammadu Buhari.

He is also complicit in misappropriations of the federal revenue allocations of his Bayelsa State that left the state government bankrupt and unable to pay the salaries of the workers for months and several state government projects have been abandoned and he has been spending millions of dollars on image laundering for his foreign PR agencies to arrange bogus awards for him.
I blasted and queried one American centre for one of his bogus awards, the organization was embarrassed.

Nice one 3 and 4 is all the same...An artisan would prefar food on his table and careless about massive looting.

2 is the same challenge this present administration is facing in NDA

1 can still better than people been retrenched from there job...I'm not defending any administration but i think things were better last term and the vision is there for everyone to see....Now i dont know the direction of this administration...except for the anti corruption war...but why fight a war when the citizenry are suffering...for me its misplaced.

joseph1832:
Reno made valid points my ass! Why didn't he make valid points when he was under the care of Jonathan, that's my question. Him coming here to speak and make valid points only attest to his lopsided way of contributing. Its just like Oritsejafor coming to say there are fake pastors in Nigeria.

My dear, for the fact that you supported/support no one gives you no right whatsoever to throw stones at this present administration. From what you said, I believe you didn't even vote. There's no sitting on the fence this time around, those who sit on the fence and don't vote have no right whatsoever to start criticizing anybody. You're busy criticizing a man for not doing what he's suppose to do, and you yourself, refuse to do what you're suppose to do, doesn't that sound like double standard to you?

From 1999 till date, there have never been an election I didn't vote! I voted PMB because Jonathan just had to leave Aso Rock, should in case PMB prove he's no better than Jonathan, then, I'll vote someone else, its that simple.

No sitting on the fence, neither Reno nor you have any right to throw stones at PMB, when you guys refuse to do what you're suppose to do.

1. Never in the history of Nigeria has there been such a divestment of investment as we have seen in the past year.

Truworths has pulled out of Nigeria, Virgin Atlantic has closed up shop, Iberia is pulling out, RenCap is pulling funds from Nigeria, both Alquity Investment Management Ltd. and Duet Asset Management Ltd. are divesting their Nigeria holding. Zenith Bank laid off 1,200 staff, FCMB let go 700 employees, Ecobank sacked 50% of its top management staff. The President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Tony Ejinkeonye revealed that in just two months 50,000 staff were laid off in Abuja alone.


2. Only a foolish investor would go and invest in a country whose President thinks his citizens are ‘criminals’ (as the President said to the Telegraph of UK in February) and whose officials are ‘fantastically corrupt’ (as the President said in agreement with British PM David Cameron when questioned by Sky News).

It has been said that if you want a conversation with a habitual complainer to end abruptly, just ask him how he intends to fix the problem. That is the question Nigerians want answered by President Buhari.

kodded:










Buhari is a dulllard

uzolexis:


at the bolded, so if someone does not support APC or PDP that person did not vote where they the only parties that contested for the presidential seat in the last election this is exactly why I am so mad at Nigerians, we are so easily swayed, we had other credible candidates but because those candidates didn't have money to throw around on campaign and the likes nobody bothered to check them out, we didn't do our research so as to make informed decision. It baffles me when I see APC and PDP supporters bashing each other cos there is no difference btw both parties. If we wanted real change like we have been making noise about we would vote neither APC nor PDP cos they can't give us that. All the money spent on campaign do you think APC will not recover it somehow?? where else will they get it from if not the nation's treasury. FYI, i don't live in Nigeria so I was not around to vote but I campaigned vigorously for Remi Sonaiya the KOWA party candidate cos she is way better than Buhari and GEJ combined, so I have very right to criticise this govt. if they are not working as expected cos I am a Nigerian and you really should stop making statements based on feelings, get actual facts 1st before you jump into conclusion.
I don't know why Reno didn't tell Jonathan the truth and honestly i don't care, I am speaking on my own behalf as a Nigerian and to me he raised some valid points which I think this administration should take seriously.

menstrualpad:
So what is the way forward?

joseph1832:
Let's leave all this story aside, and answer me this, have you ever voted in any election in Nigeria?

Second, I expect you to know the country you live in, because it sEems you don't. Yemi Sonaiya whom you rigorously campaigned for, have as much chance of winning the presidential election, as I have as much chance of becoming the richest man in Africa. This is why I say nigerians should be realist, instead of idealist.

Since 1999, I voted Gani Fawehinmi, but it dawned on me when he passed away that he can't win. That's just the plain truth. That's why I told myself, that I will vote for whoever have the ability to oust PDP out of Aso Rock. This is reality speaking, not ideology. And, I'll have you know that should PMB prove that he isn't any better, then still I'll vote against him. Plain and simple.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-19/truworths-exits-nigeria-due-to-tough-regulation-rising-costs. Was Buhari not president in January 2016?

uzolexis:


I have never voted in any elections in Nigeria not cos i don't want to but cos the only time I was eligible to before i left the country, i registered in school(which was in a different state from where i live) and was at home during the elections so it was not possible. If we are being realistic, i'll have you know that APC cannot give us the change we desire. I really hope they surprise me and prove me wrong cos me (like most pple) want a better Nigeria but I just don't see it happening under this Govt.

joseph1832:
In as much as you don't see it happening under this government, let's know that the first thing any sane mind thinks of, is security. If you're not secure, can you even think of earning a living, that's the number one reason why I voted against Jonathan.

As realistic as we have to be, let us embrace our reality and know that this polity call Nigeria, will run by corrupt individuals who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

So, even if APC can't give us the Nigeria of our dreams, at least its better than scurrying for our lives when Boko Haram comes knocking.

X21:



what is the way to fix it?. we have complained enough

X21:



How do you intend to fix it? enough of complains

uzolexis:


you are missing the whole point of this conversation , i am not into APC vs PDP argument, I agree with you that GEJ needed to go but i dont agree that Buhari was the best option we had. The point I am getting at is that some valid points were raised here which the present adminstration should look into.

nduchucks:


Sir, I reserve my right to express my disappointment in Reno for sitting idly and watching his colleagues rob the nation blind. I also believe that it is impossible for his likes to be ignorant of the massive theft going on while he was a senior member of the administration.

For me, he has lost his moral high ground. In my books, if you turn a blind eye while your colleagues were looting, you are just as guilty, sorry.

tomakint:

Sir Ndu, if you take the pain to read through Reno's submission you will agree with me that he never defended Jonathan but rather gave an hindsight into what they did wrong that this stubborn government of Bubu can use as a foresight to take Nigeria out of the woods. Nigerians are people in a hurry, you know that already so all these "we should endure blabla" "Rome was not built in a day blabla","Nigeria was grounded before Buhari came in blabla" will not work. Reno just advised Buhari to be a listening President that's all. Obviously, Buhari is not the listening type.....correct me on this sir.
