Speechless about the fact that you just realised that Nigerians knew all along that it doent take an illiterate draconian leader to solve all the problems you just mentioned. How many PIBs and FOIs did Buhari promulgate with military fiat when he had the power to do so without having to 'push'. I would rather have a PIB yet to be passed and an FOI yet to be signed than to have a signed Decree 4.

Where are members of the "Community of Performing/past Criminals"-CPC, have they cleared the NW & NE.

I didn't know that Eisenhower actually ruled by decree as American 2-term president; Or did McCain promise to rule by decree as an American president
BTW I hope you know that [b]Jonathan decreed those 6 universities into existence early enough for his campaigns - show me the laws [/b]backing them up!

My Guy na dust you dey yarn . . . INEC officially told you 48 hours, so where have they erred on their promise . If na your dear CPC now you go hala . .abegii . . make we hear word jare

What are u talking about? So u think GEJ is a tyrant like buhari who would throw people in jail without proper judicial processes?

It seems PDP still retained its stranglehold on Naija.

This goes to show that we internet warriors are way off track with whats happening in Nigeria. I wont believe any projections I hear on NL on saturday.

However, PDP lost a lot of ground in the South west.,,,,,I hope that will be enuff for the checks and balances required for democracy to work.

If you feel it was lawless, then brief Femi Falana to go to court. Until then, it gladdens my heart that a President is so concerned about education that he 'decreed' not 1 but 6 universities into existence. Below is just a tip of Buhari's woeful peformance in the education sector.Compare and contrast

Buhari and Education
"When Buhari came into power, the educational sector was facing some problems. However, the Buhari government lacked a rational and systematic solution to the problems. Instead, the government assumed a draconian posture and tried to force every desire it sought on the people. For example, state governors were mandated to clear all salary arrears within three months. But this remained unresolved after the deadline. It remained in fact so till 1985 when the government was again overthrown."
By the way, do you know that it was Buhari that first introduced fees and levies in our schools despite the strong condemnation by ASUU. Do you also know that before Buhari came, university students had their meals arranged by the government and given to them at highly subsidized rates and Buhari stopped it when he came in.Why am I even saying this sef. What else can one expect from an illiterate.

recoome:

@betathings:u are not in touch with reality, nwodo was forced out by his gov becos he was 2 over-bearing, the gov used d escuse dat nwodo had nt returnd fully into d party b4 he was given chairmanship. So u did nt know abt ogbulafor's numerous frauds?

Once again I thank all GEJ supporters for discussing issues and putting the records straight. This thread was overwhelmed with falsehood on results received from polling units to reflect exactly what a ward  or LGA represents-unfortunatley the chips are down and pro Buhari supporters have gone to bed. They clamoured for Beaf and GEJ supporters as if they will shew them raw-doing their normal name calling.
One thing they fail to realise most pro GEJ supporters are not PDP members or supportes but people who analyse issues objectively and believes GEJ is more suitable than Buhari or Ribadu at this 2011 elections. A NASS members with no clear majority will help the country better! my thoughts.

The most interesting part of this whole thing is that many of the PDP senators and reps that are returning are actually new people because PDP did free and fair primaries and many of their incumbents lost. So PDP is not exactly the old PDP you know.

We note that Jonathan has been pillaging the foreign reserve and excess crude account in a period of high oil receipts
5 presidential jest, 137 aides etc, the man is lucky, Nigeria is sadly in trouble

Part of the problem with Nigeria is that people make decisions and argue based on emotions and zero knowledge. Partly why the failure rate is so high in NECO/WAEC.

1) The Foreign Reserve is managed by the CBN. The FG cannot dip its hands into it. . .unless of course it is a military government like that of you know who.
2) Part of the decline in the FR is because the CBN has been propping up the value of the Naira which is threatening to drop because of excessive dollar demand. If it drops, you will be one of the idiots blaming the FG for allowing the Naira to depreciate.
3) The excess crude account is unconstitutional; a situation the FG is trying to remedy by passing a bill establishing the Sovereign Wealth Fund that will lock in excess earnings for future generations. If we had such in place in the past; our $12b dollar Gulf-War windfall would not have disappeared under Babangida.
4) The presidential jets belong to Nigeria not GEJ. You are really being silly listing this as a reason for depletion of the FR. Shows you don't know what your talking about. The jets were duly appropriated for.
5) Get an education and acquaint yourself with facts so that you can argue intelligently.

Thank you very much for enlightening him a bit. He would do well to educate himself and improve, or else he may end up becoming a reporter with the likes of Sahara Reporters.

Education. I can hold my own against some PhD holders. Facts -  produce them please. Let us flood this thread with facts

edicolove:

your post above shows you need to repeat primary 6. it speaks volumes. how can you give credit to Jega and say GEJ has nothing to do with it. It is like the field engineer in a project saying his boss, the CEO, should give him all the credit for the companies success because he installed the machines. If there was no company, would he have machines to install? If GEJ had chosen someone else, would Jega have even being known. Many people didnt even know Jega b4 Jonathan chose him. If GEJ had also given him problems, which he could have being the president, would he have been successful? The president has fulfilled his promise to Nigerians. please use shame salute am! olodo!

Based on my posts and yours, it is clear that you don't even appreciate the level of your problems.
Again, if CBN is to be blamed for decline in foreign reserves, why do we praise Jonathan for the success of an election!

As for promises, Jonathan was forced to sack Iwu. He told Amanpour of CNN that Iwu was not the problem. US IMMEDIATELY said that Iwu remained a problem. Iwu was therefore sacked. All these happened in April 2010
Tell me the history of Jonathan's promises - I will not make empty Promises? At least for the power sector, he has changed his own deadlines till after the election. Brilliant!
