Saints are only found in heaven.
GEJ is a good president but I think Nigerians only want strong men and not institution.

As for Buhari the only thing he claims he has is integrity and not ideas that will move us forward and every concerned citizen should be worried

Jonathan had no ideas. Study the man well. He had good ministers but he was always going to be a bad President. He had zero grounding in leadership and never expected or planned to be president but the man who contested four times after being military head of state probably has a lot up his sleeves. Simple psychology.

The main take away from this symposium is that the north has looked at itself critically , admitted it's weaknesses in leadership and honestly charted a way forwards. They have a man in Aso Rock who will do all possible to actualize the corrections .
The South should not get itself hatefully contemptuous because of this- Four years is actually enough to bridge all gaps. Every region should have this self honesty. The north is about leadership failure and encouragement of poverty producing qualities. For the west it is lack of inclusion into politics of other views except the old ACN . For the East, it is fear of the truth , persecution mania and psychological issues stemming from the civil war being g dragged out by evil politicians to con their people for votes. When they get to office they cash out cooperating with the same people they had trumped as their enemies

Them dey find fish (Awo) for soup, Crayfish(Tinubu) dey show face!

Though, but of dem have one similarity:
They are both ugly and dey both use(d) round specs.


However, one is known to be brave, the other was a coward who took his own life, shamelessly!

Where did you get this half assed, Ibo beer palour rumour that Awo took his life. The one you should be using to improve your life you are spreading falsehood all over the place. Awo was always thinking 20 and 30 years ahead. Since he died, cluelessness has actually covered Nigeria .

Apc should be careful o, if they manage to remove wike in Rivers and the rig Bayelsa electon, Militancy will flare up in the south south. Rivers and Bayelsa are PDP states.

There are enough bullets. Nobody in Nigeria is scared of militants. Nigeria now has enhanced capacity to perpetrate violence courtesy of Boko Haram experience. The western world won't even get to hear of the atrocities of Nigerian forces when they start . There are very accurate sensors now to target camps. I am actually praying that they start something. Let the argument end once and for all.

ddippset:
My polling station was rumuokuta girls college along nta road. Not even one ballot paper was brought there. Not even one result sheet, both on Saturday and Sunday. But results came out and PDP cleared everything. My boss ttavelled to his home town in buguma just to vote. There was shooting from Friday night to Saturday morning, People refused to even come out. Results were declared pdp cleared everything. Is that what you call an election? Op say amen to this prayer ; henceforth may your life be as organized as the last rivers governorship election. Pls quote me and say amen.

The sad thing about young PDP supporters is that they kill themselves everyday telling lies to defend the thieves stealing their patrimony. How can someone say there was election in Rivers State?. That's the kind of lie that turns you into a coward. If you had said if the elections had been free and fair PDP would still have won, one would have respected you and it would have been an argument but telling lies as a young social commentator is very very bad. God help this country.

doublewisdom:
When will APC stop mourning their loss of Rivers State? Is their destiny there?

They are not moaning. They are painfully going through motions to create a legal basis for what is about to happen. Wike is going, that is settled. It is not only Rivers election rigging. His records as LGA chairman and Minister are with the relevant people. That tummy will shrink very soon. The President and 5 he people around him are very very patient . Let us wait and see .

They are going to provide proof and you will be shocked.

Bubu I am a contractor o! And I never make any income since after the election.

And as I dey now na only 100k remain with me and no sign of say my project wan start.

My question for you bubu is, this my 100k way remain so, will it last me until you appoint ministers .

Becos why? My clients say them dey wait for you to appoint ministers before them go give us go ahead.

I beg u in the name of godo! Tamper justice with meci becos no be only you waka come.

Now I understand watin dey make aggrieved factions to pick up arms when government dey misbehave.

I like your anti corruption fight o! But I'm sorry to say me I no like you at all. The truth be told, you were not ready for that office...in fact you were as unprepared as oga jona.

If na me contest presidency 4 times like you, I for don carry my list of ministers for hand before I even contest the 4th time.

Advice yourself baba and do the needful IJN Amen.

This is unbelievably clueless. How does the appointment of ministers affect your business?. You are hinting at corruption here. Do you depend on bribes to run your business?.

You need to stop deceiving yourself . Most 'pure' Muslims don't want to leave with any other faiths including Nigerian Muslims. Evvery half educated youth down south has this dumbed down belief that they are in a forceful union with other tribes. It is not other tribes doing it but politicians, businessmen and global businessmen. Dont deceive yourself also that they want your oil wealth. The average northern youth does not feel the effects of oil wealth the same way the youths of the SS are not feeling it much.
The truth is that the so called Muslims expelled easterner s violently in the sixties and if given the chance they would do it again.
Nigeria is being kept alive by God himself for his purposes and the people we mentioned before. Let me put it in perspective - there would be no Dangote, Adesina, Otedola, Danjuma if there were no Nigeria.
So you are beginning to understand. The advice for youths is to fight for their future in their country. Stop tribalism, stop supporting corrupt politicians, fight for good laws ET. C but you cannot deceive yourself that a "phantom" Biafra is the answer. It is Nigeria only you need to fight and fight the right people.

Why did they not tell Dr. Clueless and his wife?. I am really worried for my country. Id××ts have taken over and there is no shame anymore

Nicklaus:
So the problem started during pres Obasanjo's tenure and pres Jonathan inherited it and did his best on it. Meaning the little power we are getting now is from Jonathan's labour, well what's taking pres Buhari so long .

Stop this "did his best" comment with Jonathan. You guys are beginning to insult him. He was the one who had the opportunity to solve the problem completely with oil at $100 a barrel.

DikeOha882:
Substitution? You got me laughing,do you know that any champayne you buy from west Africa,you are buying from Bishop Okonkwo, likewise mayonnaise and other condiments are solely owned by Igbos? So how are you going to replace Igbos If theychose to move their markets to Eastcoast? If not buying from the Igbos who are sole agents to these coys?

Champagne that is a French product ?. Nobody wants to substitute in that class of product and abeg. Okonkwo can continue in that luxury business that Buhari will soon raise tariffs on. We are talking about motor parts, clothes and electronics. Yorubas were the king , even manufacturing refrigerators and freezers in the days before importation was let loose. They will soon substitute Ibos in all those sectors especially now that jobs are hard to come by and the banking sector is going down.

Remove the man from a barracks but
You can't remove the barracks from the man..

YesSSS and we like it.
There has to be a overhaul of the political class. Let the thieves go and rest or go to PRISON. Let a new political class arise .Tinubu is is just a little better than Jonathan. All of them thieves as Jonathan himself once admitted in public during an interview. Buhari is the one God has brought to clean the Augean stables and it must be painful and we like it.

I am not sorry for Rivers people for being stuck with a nonentity of a governor. If Mama Peace is the one who chose a governor for you then sorry your state is gone already. Let us not forget the number of PDP aspirants for governor were more than 20 including some very articulate and proven people so this is not about APC. It is about the low IQ of the Jonathan's.

sahara reporters are grossly untrustworthy

We have discovered this is not 100% true. Sahara carries a lot of accurate news leaked to them by whistle-blowers working in many government departments and the judiciary. As far as is practicable they will show documentary evidence to back up their reports . No other news organisation does that. Nigeria's judiciary is very very very corrupt men (3 veries). That is actually the most dangerous thing about the country now.

investnow2013:
Please forget Nigeria census, The real population is now in Anambra/Delta State & Lagos State!. The population of Anambra & Delta State will be equal to Lagos or will most likely cancel Lagos population!. Why do you think business is boming arround Delta/ Anambra States?..... It is simply because of The population, Cheaper cost of living & a Huge number of middle class!. God bless!

I don't believe your figures. There are no bases for the figures. We can accurately project population based on primary school enrolment, tax records, town planning records and even simple things like car registration. The official figures for Anambra and Delta do not change appreciably from projections. Don't confuse urbanisation for actual population. Also a large middle class works opposite to population growth so I don't understand why you are bringing that up.
Anyway the argument still remains the same ..a market of 170million is larger than 30million and there is going to be substitution in Lagos and other places the guys are leaving not extinction.

ayodele234:
Most of these Nigerian celebrities are over-hyped. They are not that rich as we think. Of course she should pay for the damage if she actually caused the fire. Please I want comments. Thanks

This ####ing story is about an 85 year old landlord who lose property and only source of income was damaged. Please leave your inferiority complex about Nigerian celebrities out of it.

WombRaiders:
This is bad news for lazy touts like yourself Mr. OPCNairaland.

With Ibo businesses relocating, you lazy bums will only have rotten tomato sellers to extort.

This is bad first Ibos. The Nigerian project favours them because they can sell their imported goods to a large market of 170 million people . Now there is nobody to sell to but barely 25million. The only reason for NAFTA, ECOWAS and EU is that larger markets are best in terms of combined GDP and scale economics. The East on its own is very unviable. It will be a landlocked, entity bordered by the Niger Delta, Cameroon, North East, Edo and Delta. All tribes in Nigeria have business skills, Dangote is from the North, Atiku has factories producing everything from pure water to cooking oil. Yorubas are Lords of the FMCG and other sectors. In the 70s Hausas had commercial enclaves in Lagos near Apapa, Ibadan , Old PH town and other places, these enclaves will now grow and multiply. I still don't know why people think this move East is good for Ibos.

Nonybb:
[b]Anytime I see these evil trio the anger that consumes me is unimaginable. I dont just know the reasons why GEJ feared this people and conceded defeat, handed over everything to Tinubu empire and to Northern dynasty. He, Tinubu, choose Ambode, nominated Osibanjo and picked Buhari; only one individual, and now he is bringing his own list of ministers to be confirmed soon. Buhari the supposed man of intergrity, flaunting cabals within the seat of power. So shameful that you pride yourself as a leader who wants to fight corruption but proudly associate yourself with criminals and Lagos treasury looters. When do we get power back from these people; I mean we the people, not PDP. Look at Bisi laughing; evil men that took power through propaganda, with Liar Muhammad the wicked evil genius. Jonathan is really a wuss of a leader. This country is doomed; cabals are running things and we the people are so gullibe, shouting "Chanji!", "Chanji!", "Chanji!" what Chanji(Change)?? Let us kill GodFatherism first in this country[/b]

Let us start from the beginning. Goodluck should never have been President. You have to let that sink in into your brain. The man was a creation of Obasanjo. He never even expected to be a politician even and was mostly unprepared for most of the posts he was given. Asking why he handed over means you are too young to understand. He had no right to the office more than me or you. Nigeriansvl were fed up of the corruption. The west (US and Europe ) was against him because of runaway corruption. Nigeria SW and the entire North was against him. The last time that happened was with a man called Abacha, it took them a few days to knock him off. Goodluck would have left that seat horizontally if he had not handed over after losing elections.

bjdon:
Even if you hate Fayose, you must admit he is a real character who is given the APC a nightmate!

He is actually an Idxxt without a focus on the issues. I think PDP is now very weak even as an opposition party if all they can do even in defeat is to attack personalities. Also anybody who believes Fayoses posturing is naive. The guy had a reputation of going behind everybody's back to beg for his infractions.

You guys are too shallow. Nigeria kicked out of bond 8ndex because there is no ministers to give policy or some bullshit like that. First of all a Minister of Finance does not unilaterally make policy. Secondly suggesting and admimistering monetary policy is CBN responsibility under the direction of the NEC. Not having a minister in place merely burdens the President and thus one is not complaining.
Nigeria is in trouble because the bottom fell out of the Oil and Gas market and also because runaway corruption and public treasury looting.In the last weeks of Jonathan the Stock Exchage had already almost crashed. It is not because of Buhari. The FG has removed it's own funds from commercial banks and that is removing all the FAKERY from economic performance reporting. This means a lot of what we have been doing in the past was putting Oil money and diaspora remittance funds into the local economy and circulate it year after year do some clever tricks with figures and claim success that the fundamentals are good . Importation has also gone up...ma Nigeria where palm oil of all things is imported through loans sourced from the banking sector is not going anywhere until the culture xhangedm

Chiaka:
If we are frank! He said the truth.! so we should rather think to change the mentality by putting things right. Even revisiting the expatriate employment. All sort of persons come under the guise of expatriate whether they qualify or not. Have even seen fresh school leavers been employed as expatriate some people with little or no work experience in the area they are manning are also employed expatriate, all sort of abnormalities happen here!

Okay you have just proven the man right. We do import intelligence, otherwise why would anyone write this in the modern world. Nobody will employ you on the basis of qualifications. It is 'skills' that employers are looking for.

Cjrane2:
The biggest issue with Buhari is that his mindset is unfit for a president of a multi ethnis, multi religious state as Nigeria.
He has the mindset of Abubakar shekau. They both believe in totalitarianism, even when it may lead to their downfall

Totalitarianism is very good for Nigeria. Nigerians need real harsh treatment after a serious blood purge of corrupt elements . There has to be a cry of pain from many sectors - business, banking, academia , judiciary. Also the current crop of politicians should be run into exile where they should run into money laundering charges. The future has been stolen from the youths and it should be taken back by force .

lordtosan:
The above persons funded it not buhari. Before some APC I.diots who are as dumb as their president start shouting -

'Chai Buhari!'.

So be id××ts said it was Dr Clueless 's project last year. Nigerians are so ignorant , if rain falls they will praise a politician. Most positive movement in am economy is done by private people.

Firefire:
Good move...

Amaechi is in trouble...

It is only Amechi you people see. I am really sorry for you guys. The next thing you were going to mention was Tinubu. Go for deliverance so you will stop seeing these two people in your dreams

gbosaa:


This is funny, so even without a functioning traffic light, is there no such thing as responsible driving??.

In Nigeria , there is nothing like right of way. The kekes and picantos must give way for the molues and lorries otherwise they get crushed.

The senator is used to driving with sirens blaring at the loudest decibel at neck breaking speed. The American embassy staff also must have adapted to our driving rules and road traffic behaviours after all, there are American embassy staff.

The only thing strange but funny about this scenario is the oga Akpabio was flown abroad for medical care even though he built a world class medical centre in his home state.

He is not alone though.
Every now and then, tinubu would fly abroad because of a nagging toothache when a simple and regular toothbrush and paste would cured his wahala.

Anyim would take a two day trip abroad just to swallow his sleeping tablets.

Obasanjo would fly abroad to sort his flatulence even though he is surrounded with high fibre foods in his ota farm.

Na joke o.

Your wickedness is too wicked. Haba.

OZAOEKPE:
PMB is a terrorist, "quote me anywhere".

You are actually not a person. You are a contraption made from inferior materials for the purpose of saying nothing but "PMB is a Terrorist " while hiding behind your mum's dining table .

Laa Ka ye

Iykopee:
The DSS has gone to the dogs. They keep churning out lies after lies as directed by the daura dulllard.

I don't think. Something was brewing in Calabar / Akwa Ibos axis. They are keeping a lid on things to defuse tension. PDP individuals are going to get themselves into near treason able felony charges if care is not taken. There are also many PDP members acting as informants to the FG as we speak so let us wait and see.

Skillbobralph:
Jonathan already said this refinery will start fully by 2016 but they were trying to rush in error without doing the proper thing just to boost Buhari body language. Please Buhari body language should come to our rescue here.

Jonathan did not know jack. The fuel traders were using Dieziani to confuse him. I worked in the industry a long time. Nigeria 's own always appeared different because of thieves at all levels.

The one sitting near him go like woman..
