Vote GEJ, vote for change in process

Change2015:
It started because the profligate Shagari regime left Nigeria in debt and there was an economic downturn, the very same situation Jonathan is orchestrating today. Diezani is saying that for the next 20yrs we will not have local capacity to refine for our needs, and you consider this to be a positive development plan? Why have out refineries been operating at under 20% capacity at best, under Jonathan? Some are even closer to 0%. Please explain the developments Jonathan started in Bayelsa as acting governor, and then as governor, that the people of Bayelsa celebrate today. Obasanjo outlined and started the railway development plan in 2006 in a speech to the nation that I have previously posted. Now Jonathan claims it as his own. Amnesty was Yaraduas plan. What ideas has this Jonathan outlined that can truly be said to be his own vision? "Technology" to fight corruption? FOI? PBI? Privatisation of ailing state industries?

Yea Shagari had issues, but Buhari worsened it with his fire brigade approach.
The refineries has been operating below capacity since God knows when, if not, Buhari would not have sent crudes out for refining. What did he do to turn the refineries around?

He spent 20 months in office which is longer than 4 years of civilian democracy and he did nothing rather he chose to send crude abroad.
Literally, that period is equivalent to the time since 2102 after the subsidy protest. You are accusing Jona of not doing anything since then, Buhari had the same opportunity and did nothing.

I went further to tell you what stalled the TAM. And you are telling me what two minsiters said.

Let no body be deceived, the Americans just want to control nigeria. They r not sincere ppl especially in cases where they know u ve a treasure like oil in that country. In the first place they don't like johna, n they r trying so had to break nigeria, but our slave mentality won't let us think. Even when we ve seen the hand writing on d wall.
God's will b done.

I have been shouting these but no one wants to hear.

It is about the Africom and GEJ's refusal to accept Africom.

1. They stopped buying oil abruptly from us since July, 2014 and increased quota from SAUDI and Kuwait. This has nothing to do with energy sufficiency.
2. They placed arms embargo on us, will not sell to us, will not allow Isreal sell to us, refused permission to fly over Saudi, exposed our effort to get from SA. They practically sabotaged our effort. Now they are happy to say our army is incompetent with the ignorant or power hungry APC leaders.
3. They accuse us of not fighting Bokoharam but they refused to sell arms to us. How will we fight boko haram?

klax:
Waaoooww Brosie Jona thumb up for you I love your master stroke so you are this smart, why did you wait this long? Where are my former party member(APC) did I not said it that when a man brags and assuming position of too wise will end up shot himself by foot? Here is it now because apc claim too wise, too saint, too smart, desperate by allowing that same people in the party we hated so much jumped to APC and just got automatic ticket to contesting for position this same people that destroyed PDP then what change are we making? The question I asked and I was told I'm not party loyalist that make me to quitted APC was simply pls is it that letter PDP that is corrupt or bad? Or is it all these wolves jumping in from PDP that now getting all sorts of promises to get one slot or the other? And yet we talk about change has all these ones jumping in has CHANGED"? Not at all they are just looking for where to hide and seek relevancy. If truly they have changed they should release and surrender ale they have acquired I mean all under PDP and raise their hands in total cleaness anything short of that is absolutely lies and deception full stop. You cant go around attacking PDP and billions from PDP bad government ill cash still lays in your bank account. Nja wake up. Gej I'm not your party fan not at all but may God bless you as you broke their back they are complete devil in angelic garment, send Jega packing he should go and go finally and I can bet it in a few days you will hear Jega is in APC and would contesting for one position or the other every fail person is for APC to grab. Truth is butter I know they will be upset but I dont care afterall I'm no longer APC member a party that has a serious allergy to truth talking about change. Atiku,Tinubu, Amaechi, Lai, Tambuwa etc talking change then surrender all the wealth you acquired when you assumed political office afterall we all knew you all before you got to the political position so is it your salary that made you all a billionaire

You can spin whichever way you want. Buhari is going to contest and win this election. Buhari is here to stay. Go back to drawing board and keep planning. You should have quit by now if you all have your senses intact because everything you have thrown at Buhari has made the man more popular and more acceptable in the eyes of the voters.

[size=20pt]David Axelrod’s Political Consulting Firm Far More Involved in Nigeria Election than Previously Disclosed[/size]

By: Adam Kredo

Adam Kredo
Adam Kredo is senior writer for the Washington Free Beacon. Formerly an award-winning political reporter for the Washington Jewish Week, where he frequently broke national news, Kredo’s work has been featured in outlets such as the Jerusalem Post, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and Politico, among others. He lives in Maryland with his comic books. His Twitter handle is @Kredo0. His email address is kredo@freebeacon.com.

A political consulting firm founded by Obama administration confidante David Axelrod has been far more involved in backing controversial Nigerian presidential candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari than previously disclosed, according to a series of emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon and interviews with sources on the ground.

Axelrod’s firm, the Chicago-based AKPD, has admitted to doing work on behalf of Buhari’s All Progressives Congress (APC) party in the past, but claimed to have ceased its ties in March 2014 after the Islamist terror group Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls.

However, emails sent between senior APC party members and advisers show that contrary to the firm’s claims, AKPD has quietly continued to perform political work on Buhari’s behalf as he fights to unseat current President Goodluck Jonathan.

With the controversial elections now delayed for another six weeks amid security concerns related to Boko Haram, sources on the ground in Nigeria are beginning to raise new questions about AKPD’s work on behalf of the APC and Buhari, who previously rose to power in the mid-1980s after leading a military coup.

AKPD’s ties to the APC first sparked controversy in March, when Boko Haram’s terror campaign attracted international outrage and shined a spotlight on Nigeria’s problems combatting terrorism.

Under pressure from the press and negative attention, the AKPD told reporters in March that it had ceased its work with the APC.

“AKPD worked with the APC from December 2013 to March 2014,” AKPD spokesman Isaac Baker told the Washington Times last year. “We helped them as they worked to form a new political opposition party and create a platform in advance of their first national convention. We were no longer working with the APC when the Boko Haram kidnapping of the young girls took place.”

However, AKPD’s Baker admitted on Monday that the firm worked again with the APC in December 2014.

“AKPD worked with APC from December 2013 to March 2014, at which point our contract ended. Nine months later, in December 2014, the APC re-hired AKPD for a 3-week engagement to help the party in organizing announcement events,” Baker told the Free Beacon in an email. “That was our only involvement with the party since we completed work in March.”

“That project is now complete and we have no ongoing relationship with them,” Baker said.

The internal emails sent between APC advisers over the past several months and obtained by the Free Beacon confirm that the work with AKPD continued after March 2014.

In a series of messages between senior APC officials and advisers from September 2014 to late January 2015, AKPD polling and other work are repeatedly discussed.

“The meeting went well and the report well received. [Gov. Rotimi Amaechi] will meet with the AKPD team tomorrow to discuss the facilitation of the event but no dates fixed yet,” APC member Olubunmi Adetunmbi wrote in one September 23 email to top Buhari adviser Kayode Fayemi.

AKPD’s work is again mentioned in a separate chain of emails sent between Buhari’s running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, and adviser Fayemi.

“I also think the AKPD surveys also clearly showed that the South West is the battle ground for this election,” Osinbajo writes in a discussion about boosting election turnouts for the APC.

A third email chain from Jan. 21 shows APC leader Nasir El-Rufai discussing an “October 2014 AKPD poll” that he hoped to disseminate to “the team.”

Requests for comment sent to several APC figures mentioned in internal emails were not returned by press time.

Sources on the ground in Nigeria and familiar with how the elections have been shaping up say Buhari has run an uncharacteristically disciplined campaign.

“They have run … a well disciplined message campaign, running on a clear and singular message of change,” said one source who agreed to discuss the matter only on background. “It sounds very familiar to another campaign some Americans might remember from seven years ago.”

While the APC has had trouble displaying unity in past election bids, the current campaign has showed few signs of dissent, the source explained.

“It strongly points to coaching they ordinarily would not have had in past elections,” according to the source. “That’s really the clearest sign that I’ve seen and other have seen that these guys are running a Western-style, Western-directed campaign that has identified a message through polling and research.”

While Buhari has positioned himself as an agent of change, critics point to his controversial and oppressive rule over Nigeria in the 1980s.

Buhari’s military government was known for harshly cracking down on civil rights, arresting opposition forces, and intimidating critical journalists. Human rights activists routinely criticized Buhari’s military rule. Buhari was deposed in a 1985 coup.

Other sources on the ground and familiar with the APC’s campaign say that the party has been trying to keep AKPD’s ongoing work quiet. It is rumored that AKPD employees are being housed in an APC compound located in Lagos, according to multiple sources.

“The sense is they’re being hidden currently in Lagos,” said another insider on the ground who would only speak on background. “They’re trying to keep a very low profile.”

AKPD’s close ties to the Obama administration also has given rise to criticism from those who see the White House as meddling in the elections.

“They have been particularly careful not to be seen at all because of the perception of the connection between Axelrod and the president and what that would convey,” said one of the sources quoted above.

queensmith:
Lets actually entertain this 'contractor' story for a minute

What I'm getting, is the change in government affected this contractors ability to take on ghost contracts?

.

This is speculation. You said my encounter which is very real is not real but you want me to believe your hypothesis. You went on to discuss based on your hypothesis without validating it because that is how you want it to be to serve your purpose. haba madam

I can't remember reading about a single project executed and commissioned within GEJs era to the cost and times initial promised - talk less of the quality.

You are no longer talking about not executing project because you know he has so many executed. Now it is delay in time and increased cost. Better than total denial.

In project management, projected completion is an educated guess made based on assumptions that monies will be available as at when needed and that everything goes on as planned. If you have a good project manager, he measures the earned value frequently to keep cost on tract. Sometimes, all things are not always equal, delays are inevitable and with delays come extra cost depending on the type or terms of contract.
Good thing is you agreed that projects were completed and commissioned

Please can you give an example at least of those type of projects?
As per quality, I think you are on your own except you give examples. Otherwise you are just stating a mere wish for GEJ non-peformance and our backwardness.

His second grudge, when this 'contractor' said GEJ has done 'soo well' you didn't care to ask him to expatiate? Provide examples? Is he a farming contractor? What exactly did GEJ and NOI do so well? Same for trade and investment, you didn't hear poverty almost doubled as did the unemployment rates? How exactly is the performance anything but appalling?

Madam, why should I ask when I am in the know and you are also in the know because your grouse now is about time and cost which you have not substantiated.

I'm not too sure what the purpose of this story is but it's told us nothing, if anything I'm in the firm belief GEJ supporters are as daft as he is. Good performance is just that there are no grey areas - he's either improved the country or not. In the face of global performance the man has even set the economy backwards. How in this digital era a large number of youths remain unemployed is ridiculous.

This administration has tried more for the youth than your candidates (see attached). The YouWin programme has created millionaires. The training of first class students abroad, agropreneur scheme etc. The government is laying foundation for millionaires and for wealth creation with $1 more than 160 naira.

It is even possible you are a YouWin beneficiary because i have read of one who won N10 .5M and instead of using it to create wealth, he married more women and he is a GEJ's chief critic. If such a person can say GEJ has done nothing, then.......
But Buahri was there when the naira was far superior to the dollar. tell me what he did with it.

He closed industries by starving them of raw materials without making room for local supply(Sam ohuabunwa's article is still there). This administration wants to ban importation of rice but they are beefing up local capacity to avoid scarcity. Jona wants to increase tariff on tokumbo through the auto policy, he shifted because capacity is low and will lead to hardship. This is how educated people reason.
He is beefing up manufacturing and is creating jobs.

Buhari's used price control policy to close businesses by forcing them to sell below cost price. People;s stores were broken into and good sold at prices ridiculously below cost price.

All these resulted in closure of industries and shops and unemployement was only comparable to the time of great depression in the 1930s
See attachment.

You are criticizing GEJ? If you want change, get us real change not Buhari. he cannot handle it. He tried it before and failed. Nigeria is on course.

Now defend Buhari. Tell me why it should be him instead of GEJ! Address the issues raised about him before telling how GEJ prevented you from winning YOUWIN.

Change2015:

I said that Dangote's refineries will come on stream, I did not state when importation will stop.
I said local engineers are working on the refineries. I did not say when the importation will stop

Those refineries were meant for a lesser population not 170 million. So I don't think that it will be possible get all we need even if all the refineries operate in full capacity including dangote's. But net importation will reduce.

Did you not see this?

"Remember, Buhari initiated the trend of exporting crude which would be refined for subsequent importation. New york times of March 13, 1984"

He is promising jobs, how? Like this?

All companies were posting negative results

Unemployment situation never been as it was then since 1930.
Buhari was over a year in office MARCH 15, 1985
The same month, about 2 days earlier, he authorized the export of crude meant to be refined and be imported subsequently. He was the first Nigeria leader to initiate that.

BTW, there were many people pardoned

FORMER Chief of Staff Supreme Military Council, and brother of the late President, Major General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua; former Chief of General Staff, Oladipo Diya and former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha were among those granted state pardon.

The Council of State, unanimously approved the list of those pardoned today.

The Council of State, which is comprised of the President, Vice President, all state governors, former Presidents, the Chief Justice of the Federation, the Senate President and Speaker, amongst others.

Others granted pardon include Major Bello Magaji (rtd), Mohammed Lima Biu, Shettima Bulama, Major General Abdulkareem Adisa (Post Humous) and Major Segun Fadipe (rtd) respectively. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/03/yaradua-diya-alamieyeseigha-others-granted-state-pardon/

More details soon

The pardon was unanimously approved by all state governors, past heads of state etc. including the APC governors and former PDP governors now in APC. So why is now a case for GEJ alone? Fashiola was there, Amaechi was there, Rochas was there!!! Buhari does not attend council of state unless it has to do with him becoming the president other wise he would have been there.

Remember he would have pardoned Abacha if he was convicted because he believed he did no wrong.

Why is no one mentioning those other people pardoned?
Is it because Alams is from his state?

Gbawe:
What a joke. Did the biggest fuel subsidy scam in Nigeria's history not happen under GEJ? Do you know that the scam essentially involved "contractors" grossly over-invoicing for oil supplied , or even invoicing for oil that was not supplied, and getting paid for those criminal and fruadulent practices? Do you know the FG (under GEJ) and NNPC (under Allison-Madueke ) are the only two authorities with the power to hand out fuel marketer licence? How did your "anti-corruption" GEJ and his partner-in-crime, Allison-Madueke, end up disbursing these licences to scammers who went on to commit the biggest fraud in the history of Nigeria?

So are those fuel subsidy 'contractors' ,happy at the scam the corrupt GEJ government colludes with them to get away with, different to the one you "met" who was "complaining" about GEJ? You people sha. No shame at all declaring that white rice is black. GEJ is easily the most corruption-friendly President Nigeria has ever had. Show me someone saying otherwise and I show you a shamelessly dishonest person and brazen liar. I don't know how you want to reconcile this your "GEJ is anti-corruption" with how the likes of Ifeanyi Uba who scammed Nigeria silly are working officially for the re-election of GEJ. You guys should fear God because your GEJ cannot profit from the unbelievably ridiculous lies you are telling on his behalf. Why not come back later and start another thread about meeting a Boko Haram member who "confessed" GEJ is fighting them hard "silently" and giving them hell and making the terror business so hard for them that they are even considering putting down their guns to embrace farming !!! If you wish to practice image laundering at least let it be believable. Do not come here and be telling us unbelievable stories even a child will laugh at.

Oga Gbawe, it has been a while since 2011....Hope you are making your money

Back to the matter:
Why did you say it is a joke? Is it a joke because it is a lie or because it is not expected of GEJ's administration?

To be honest with you, it happened exactly as narrated for the records as untennable as it may sound to you because of your mindset.

The subsidy scam happened in 2012 and like you said over-invoicing was a major issue. Look at the progress made since then

‘Nigeria Lost $7.92bn To Corruption In One Year

A total of $7.92billion in illicit capital flowed of out Nigeria in 2012, according to the latest report released by the US-based non-profit research and advisory organisation, Global Financial Integrity (GFI).

For the year 2012, only Nigeria and South Africa are the two African countries ranked in the top 20 countries for illicit financial outflows. Nigeria was ranked 17th behind South Africa, which ranks 9th with cumulative illicit financial outflows of $29.13 in 2012.

According to the report, “Illicit Financial Flows from Developing Countries: 2003-2012,” emerging economies lost a whopping $991.2billion in facilitating crime, corruption and tax evasion.

However, in the 10-year period between 2003 and 2012, Nigeria was ranked 10th with a cumulative of $157.46billion, surpassing South Africa which was ranked 12th with a cumulative $122.14billion. Also, Nigeria and South Africa are the only two African countries that were ranked for illicit financial outflows in the 10-year period between 2003 and 2012.

“The fraudulent mis-invoicing of trade transactions was revealed to be the largest component of illicit financial flows from developing countries, accounting for 77.8 percent of all illicit flows, highlighting that any effort to significantly curtail illicit financial flows must address trade mis-invoicing,” said the report.

Even with the over-invoicing issue revealed with the FOI bill signed by GEJ, we moved away more from the worst.

This is the example what has happened. If none has been convicted, it is because of the loopholes in the 1999 constitution which is exploited by thieves. Again because most of the judges have prices, it is easy to obtain continuous adjournment and stay out of jail.

It is easier and better to prevent looting that to prosecute offenders because that takes more money.

Like I said, IPPIS removed over 40,000 ghost workers from the federal payroll
The e-wallet removed the fraud in fertilizer and seedling distribution to over 6 million farmer from 300,000 reached before now

Gbawe, you and I know that most people believe that doing things the wrong way is the way of life in Nigeria. Corruption is rife and trust just punishing offenders alone will not take care of it otherwise armed robbers would have stopped robbing but blocking the loopholes is the best way.

Is GEJ perfect? No. Has he acheived all he can? No. Has he made progress? Yes and significantly so.
As tight as the system is in the UK, many fraudsters still shortchange the system. We still need to perfect the electronic system of fighting corruption.
According to TI, the following contribute most to corruption
1. Police
2. Judges
3. Civil servants and Politicians
4.

The Fed is dealing with the civil servant part and in extension politicians because the politicians depend on civil servants to do their thing.
There is need for constitutional reforms to take adequate care of the nos 1 & 2 and GEJ national conference was a good avenue to achieve that.
Most of those who want the system to remain dead kicked against the parts relating to this.
You know I am not joking and that I am very serious

Note the parts in bold
http://ngrguardiannews.com/editorial-opinion/editorial/195337-on-ending-the-fuel-importation-regime

WHEN Industry, Trade and Investment minister, Olusegun Aganga, disclosed the Goodluck Jonathan administration’s plan towards ending the country’s depressing regime of fuel importation in 2018 and highlighted its conscious efforts at making more of non-oil exports to boost revenue, the excitement that followed was not surprising. But if past initiatives and especially the conflicting policy signals from this government are anything to go by, disappointment may be an end-result. And Nigeria does not deserve that. Undoubtedly, the plan is the most desirable option for a country, which wastes too much money importing what it can produce. But corruption and lack of political will have prevented the nation’s leaders from doing the right thing.

The high dependence on fuel importation, linked to a low domestic refining capacity, has been the tragedy of Nigeria’s oil sector. If only the government would get more serious with the reform processes, including ending importation of fuel products!

Based on the industrial revolution launched in 2012, by the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Aganga said: “There are many sectors we should have developed over the years, but for decades, we relied entirely on exporting raw materials. That era has gone.” Part of the good news from the minister is that stopping the importation would save the country a minimum of $10 billion, having spent about “three billion dollars importing steel, about six billion dollars importing cars and spare parts, about $1.7 billion on sugar.” According to him, 13 other products that would replace oil and in which Nigeria has comparative advantage as well as export capacity in agro-industrial, mining related and industrial products have also been identified. This sounds good.

Contrary to Aganga’s hope, however, only a few months ago, Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke who has been in charge of the country’s oil and gas assets for the past four years had, in an address practically dismissed hopes of ending fuel importation by some African countries, including Angola, Uganda, Mozambique and Nigeria in the next 20 years.

Considering her powerful position in the industry, Alison-Madueke is adequately informed about developments in the industry. So, the question is: who do Nigerians believe between Alison-Madueke and Aganga? What informed the oil minister’s claim of an irredeemable situation for another 20 years before the importation regime becomes history? And what informs Aganga’s optimism?

The existing, under-performing four refineries, no doubt, are part of the general malaise. That the bulk of Nigeria’s crude oil is refined abroad is a pointer to the high level of inefficiency in the industry. The four refineries including the old Port Harcourt Refinery (1965), the Warri Refinery (1978), the Kaduna Refinery (1980) and the new Port Harcourt Refinery (1987) are all functioning at sub-optimal capacity, thanks to official ineptitude and a regime in which maintenance culture is almost zero.

However, in the 10-year period between 2003 and 2012, Nigeria was ranked 10th with a cumulative of $157.46billion, surpassing South Africa which was ranked 12th with a cumulative $122.14billion. Also, Nigeria and South Africa are the only two African countries that were ranked for illicit financial outflows in the 10-year period between 2003 and 2012.

“The fraudulent mis-invoicing of trade transactions was revealed to be the largest component of illicit financial flows from developing countries, accounting for 77.8 percent of all illicit flows, highlighting that any effort to significantly curtail illicit financial flows must address trade mis-invoicing,” said the report.

$157.46 in 10 years gives a yearly average of $15.746.

Therefore $7.92 in 2012 alone is less than HALF the annual average, showing a REMARKABLE progress in this federal administration's SYSTEMATIC fight against corruption contrary to the clueless and baseless propaganda and noise of the opposition.

Thank you very. I looked for this information when I was dealing with LRNZH but I did not see it.

& U expect me to believe this?




LMAO

Believing is your prerogative. You are free to use it the way you like. I have told you my experience. I did not add anything neither did cook it.

And the fact that you don't want to believe it means the govt has done well there. It is a reason you can be proud of your government but you don't want to be because you want the govt out. There is God ooo
