Very soon other members of team GEJ will appear to muddle the issue further. . .all in the process of distancing GEJ from the problem at hand |

aletheia: Ol boy! See punches!! !! How does someone whose reputation starts and ends in Nairaland survive after these kinds of jabs!! Alethia, abeg Take it easy on the cry baby!! Gbawe takes himself too seriously and I really do wonder why he thinks anyone has the time to follow his long posts which usually have more to do with literature than politics. I read the first line and move on to the next post. . . Anytime I remember that this guy Gbawe would have to remain this negative for the next 5 years, I feel really sorry for him. Mr Gbawe, it must be hard being you. Really don't envy you placer right now, especially after these punches from Alethia!! |

Bawss1: Very soon other members of team GEJ will appear to muddle the issue further. . .all in the process of distancing GEJ from the problem at hand they are employees of the same oil thieves. they are bent on hijacking/derailing threads goodluck johnathan - the buck stops at 1914, no it stops at obj, no it stops at rilwanu lukman, no it stops at yardua anyway sha the buck does not stop here - please pass it somewhere else, i'm just a placeholder - you need to understand thst the position of president of nigeria is largely ceremonial, not good for anything other than speeches - i mean, come on this country was running with yardua brain dead in saudi arabia - its basically the same thing now - vegetable in aso rock simply water and turn to the sun periodically |

Sisi_Kill: Sorry to interrupt this toastingfest between Gbawe and Aletheia oh but I think it is pretty obvious GEJ supporters are very sensitive. . .not that anyone can blame them seeing as everyday on NL is "Let's Bash GEJ" day. SisiKill, God bless you abundantly. I am happy that folks like you still use the forum and speak up brilliantly, even if ocassionally, as you do here. Some really need to reappraise their own persona honestly to indeed ascertain that they are not damaged goods mentally. Everything you have said here is entirely valid but some , with totally bastardized mentalities that make them seek "enemies" and "haters" everywhere, would rather embrace self-pity and a persecution complex instead of inspecting issues maturely. There is nothing I have said here that falls outside the purview of a very disappointed citizen criticising a very disappointing President turning the Nation that unites them upside down. The assertion of wimps and paranoid delusional folks like Alethia becomes even more comical when a quick search of Nairaland's own archives shows I was even more brutal in my criticism of Yar Adua and OBJ. Some people are just not conditioned to be mentally tough or to stand up to scrutiny. Better to acknowledge that and work towards amending this instead of going through life losing your cool always due to rabid paranoia and the insane notion everyone is criticising you out of "hatred" while you fail to look objectively at your own very terrible conducts. That is mental illness as far as I am concerned and stemming from how fathers and mothers encouraged hatred of others and a blame culture identifying others as "monsters" instead of instilling in their kids the notion that a man, however painful, must take resposnibilities for his own actions. Folks should allow GEJ to take responsibilities for his actions/inactions , before all Nigerians, instead of trying to clannishly disenfrachise the legitimate voice of other Nigerians because of some guilt trip they try and lay on those not from the region of Mr. President. |

PapaBrowne: The Chief m.or.on appears. He of the "Bendelites are the brightest folks who run Nigeria" fame. Dude you are a clown. Only you would see issues as you do. Alethia and co are only looking like crybabies and wimps to the neutral observers who have commented here. Someday you inferiority complex may catch up with your delusions of grandeur. Someday What you write below shows you are only worth pitying and it is an indication of the issues most of you have with other ethnic groups you are not honest enough to deal with. it is not difficult to deconstruct most of you. Your inferiority complex stinks and leads you to tell ridiculous tales even an unborn baby would sniff at. https://www.nairaland.com/849594/why-we-rate-ibo-second I don't know where you got that idea. Without question, Ibos and Bendelites have always been known to be the smartest Nigerians in the country!! |

Gbawe: dude , dont let the apologists for incompetence get under your skin. the incompetence of their master has them working overtime - so many threads to derail, so many lies to attempt to deflect attention from the train wreck that is their drinkard in aso rock i mean put yorself in their shoes - the man hs nothing good to his name but some ghost written speeches, vows and facebook posts his vilified opponents did far more than him and left legacies that are still seen to this day. all gej will leave behind are the rants of the spin and spellers on nairaland - the empty boasts the desperate lies the spin and spell, the constant everybody is out to criticise gej for his faults etal |

muyoto: what an interesting thread. . .BTW what was the thread supposed to be about? Voila !!! this is the modus operandi of team My brother, If you read the original article you will note, in no unclear terms, what the thread is about. The ND is now a den of criminality under GEJ in the same way OBJ , in the past, deliberately chose to empower criminality and gangsterism everywhere in the SW for which he got much criticism plus the joint determination of a people to throw out undeserving criminals holding sway over far more intelligent and talented Nigerians. This is a serious problem for Nigeria because it is the usual sad story of how those with the might, even if they don't have the brains, are promoted , detrimental to Nigeria's progress, into positions of power everywhere. It is the main problem Nigeria is battling till today and a reason GEJ is President. Go around Africa and it is clear this is no longer happening as routinely as it does in Nigeria. Oniwon said the miscreants behind illegal oil bunkering in the zone had sponsored the election of local government chairmen and now have the capacity to sponsor and produce more state governors, adding that they even have the potential to fund the emergence of a Nigerian president in the future. |

A typical case of "You see what you chose to see" . . . So let's see what the hullabaloo is all about concerning bayooooo post that elicited the heated exchange bayooooooo: who are the oil thieves if not NNPC officials themselves? Can one trade in such commodity without some sort of collaboration with industry experts and security personnel? What i understand in the post above is:- (1) Why should the undeniable notoriously corrupt NNPC decide to scream when they are known parties to the mammoth corruption in the sector which oil bunkering is a subset of ?. . (2) Why are they suddenly screaming now, when oil bunkering in the Niger delta has gone unabated spanning years even during the Military era ? (3) The oil bunkering tradition has gone so deep that it takes the involvement of active participants in the industry to keep the trade booming . . . (4)The security personnel who are supposed to acts as check points to forestall this theft also are active members . .reasons could be adduced to the fact that major oil bunkerers are alleged to be the ex military men who still have loyal men safe guarding their interest in the oil theft deals. Off course, The recent Niger delta arms proliferation and armed struggles against the state, availed the indigenes the opportunity to also avail themselves the opportunity to trade in stolen crude . . . Now looking at Gbawe reply . . . Gbawe: Agreed, a reason why they are notoriously corrupt and the reason why bayoooo questioned the moral behind their alarm . .they are the syndicate who indulge in it so why raise the alarm . .it calls for good questioning Gbawe: Agreed, spanning since the military era when oil bunkering was also the order of the day. . We now go back to the Bayooo poser ====> . . Why is NNPC of all suddenly screaming, considering their proven antecedents as the henchmen of corruption in the oil and gas industry . . .are we believe to them as partners acting against the behemoth of corruption stifling the development of the oil and gas industry or are we simply siding with them because they chose to raise an alarm, thereby exonerating them of all ills Gbawe: The reasons given as to why he is referred to as the MEND president is hilariously weak and very feeble . . . . Gbawe: The bolded is pregnant with meanings and connotations. .what is the systematic plan of GEJ and Allison in engaging in oil bunkering. . Gbawe needs to give us insights and clues to what he was referring to . . . |

Gbawe: This is why I laugh when immature adults, who have failed to grow up, shout "seperation" everyday when everything we are seeing , and the stark reality on the ground, shows that many would simply be worse off with how they will entirely be at the mercy of a local and very ruthless criminal class. #on point |

D truth is dat while the corruption pre-dates GEJ's administration, he hasn't done anything to improve the situation. The increase in scale of corruption might not ßξ unconnected to the mentality of the Niger-Deltans that it Ȋ̝̊̅$ their turn to CHOP..... Welcome to "Turn-By-Turn Nigeria Ltd." So Please Gbawe Άŋϑ Co., allow us CHOP, it's our turn. After which we shall give the remaining CAKE to our Igbo brothers... So all others should ßξ patient Άŋϑ wait F̶̲̅Õ̳͡я̅ their turn.... Celestially-Supersonic Information: Ά̲̣̥ man was found lying beside a road in my area. Eye-witnesses said he passed out after taking 25 'shots' of ogogoro...

GEJ was not involved in oil theft at the local level? Yes he was not the President 6 years ago, however we know how much the Governors in these places supported criminality in the region. I know how Ateke was built into a lord in the Niger Delta. GEJ and CO cannot exonerate themselves from this mess and the facts are there to show it. Anyone who does not like it as they say can go "hug transformer". |

jmaine: From the same article pasted above . . . Guy, you are trying too hard with this your 'notice me' attempt at spin in favour of GEJ that will only expose you are the only one who has chosen "to see what you decide to see". Is it not obvious, and indeed the point of the article, that Oronto Douglas was facetious, as later utterances prove, when he submitted what you quote i.e However, Douglas, who was also a human rights activist had once revealed, according to a WikiLeaks report, that on December 18, 2006, just after the then Bayelsa state Governor, Goodluck Jonathan was named the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) presidential running mate to the late President Umaru Yar'adua, that Jonathan was well respected among Ijaw leaders for building a successful development programme in Bayelsa, and had been a good governor. How can you miss the very obvious point of the article if not that you have chosen "to see what you decide to see"? The utterances of Oronto Douglas you quote is comprehensively ridiculed as duplicitous double-speak. That much is very obvious to everyone but you. Below, in case you missed it, is what was written immediately after the quote you submitted. Buddy, give this one a miss. The point that blind partisanship makes you miss is that Oronto Douglas praised GEJ diplomatically publicly, as is to be expected, but savaged him when he assumed he was speaking privately and would not be quoted. Wikileaks eh? Brilliant innit? But a new WikiLeaks cable showed that surprisingly, only the day before, [size=14pt]Mr. Douglas' true feelings about Jonathan had been different. [/size]In a conversation with an American official, Douglas described Jonathan as "part of the system of corruption that had impoverished the Niger Delta for decades." |

In a conversation with an American official, Douglas described Jonathan as "part of the system of corruption that had impoverished the Niger Delta for decades." The only differential stance in his earlier presumed "double faced quote" was his "supposed" confession of the skepticism of the populace to his (GEJ) development initiative . .

I am not too interested in the intellectually unfortunate topic of the thread, rather Gbawe, the OP once again catches my attention. The OP is known to devote a lot of his life to crafted lies that are easily blown apart for their lack of intellectual input of any rigour (whether Gbawe is the author of these lies is another matter). The question is why? Gbawe when cornered by the more intellectually astute members of the forum never fails to come up with a predictable line of defense that runs in the following order: 1. He accuses his adversary of "following" him around. 2. Adversaries quickly become "wimps", "weaklings", "cry-babies" etc. 3. He accuses his adversary of lacking sophistication or being clannish, inferior etc. 4. When his adversary is intellectually persistent, Gbawe feels threatened and unleashes a "you hate the SW" volley. 5. This is quickly followed by "you hate Yoruba's." This attitude is a freak show of shame. It is easier not to be a promoter of lies and to be intellectually objective. 1 Like |

You're right. The oil thieves have already produced heads of state in Nigeria. Because, stealing crude oil and exporting it takes days and you cannot do so in the Gulf of Guinea without the knowledge of the Nigerian Navy. From illegal oil "bunkering" to the fuel subsidy fraud, the executive council of the Nigerian government cannot deny the complicity of those who are in charge of the security of Nigerian waters and the oil tankers used in illegal oil export are owned by people they know. Illegal oil export started from 1985 and all the billionaires who have been in power in Nigeria who now have private universities and real estate in Lagos, Abuja, Miami, London, Pretoria, Jo'burg and Dubai are stakeholders and shareholders. Retired General Buhari knows everyone of them. That is why they have sworn to use all means to stop him from returning to power and they have deployed their errand boys to several sections of the mass media, including Nairaland to attack Buhari. But God will not fail to give us the brave head of state to overthrow the wicked kleptomaniacs. The former head of state calling our lawmakers rogues has storey buildings in South Africa bought with misappropriated revenue allocations from 1999 to date. Every Nigerian engaged in illegal oil export is well known to the CIA and the SSS in Nigeria. They are members of the same club and many people here are even their employees and will go to church today to pay their tithes and give offerings from the salaries and contracts they received from their companies. |

I join you in calling Gbawe to drop cowardice and provide an explanation. Gbawe! Ayam waiting. |
