I Honestly think most Nigerians don't know what they want.. Yes it's politics. I support this person, I don't support this.. All has to be. The fact is No matter how much they discredit Buhari, it still doesn't account for 6rs of Stagnancy or worse that GEJ truly did.. Nigerians want positive change not Stagnancy all in the name of South-South or Northern Ruler. If Good Nigerians let the Clueless and Confused people convince us into voting in someone who will take us down the drain for Another 4yrs, Let's know we caused it with our own hands. Change or Tribal Preference? It's now in our hands

5thElement:
I do have some questions for you if you don't mind sir.

1. How would you tackle corruption? What would be your first step in trailing the hydra-headed monster?

Fight corruption with impartiality and accountability that will begin with officials of my government
Make the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission independent of the Presidency
Combat corruption more effectively with value-system education and re-orientation, plugging systemic loopholes, improved public service remuneration, and the establishment of social safety nets


2. How would you solve the problem of electricity generation and distribution in Nigeria?
Power policy will prioritize industrial clusters such as Aba, Kano, Lagos, Nnewi, and Onitsha. Investments and incentives will be established in renewable energy that can serve households.


3. Nigeria is polarized along the lines of ethnicity and religion. To build a strong united Nigeria, how do you hope to unite the various factions currently in cold war?
Propose a constitutional amendment repealing the Land Use Act. Doing so will help improve access to capital in the economic system because freehold land ownership will provide additional levels of collateral for bank or other forms of borrowing to start businesses.


4. How do you intend to solve the issue of Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen, especially rescuing our sisters and daughters of Chibok who have been kidnapped for over 3 years now?


5. Nigeria's economy is solely oil based. What kinda solution do you have to move Nigeria away from dependency on oil?

Create an enabling environment for an innovation-driven economy through appropriate laws and policy.
Overhaul economic management with the establishment of a full-time Council of Economic Advisers, headed by a Chairman that will serve as Chief Economic Adviser that researches and monitors the economy 24/7 and advises the President on actions to take to enhance economic growth. This council, composed of 5 or 6 members, will be Nigeria’s economic team.
Establish a concrete economic diversification plan with a concrete path to a post-oil future for Nigeria, based on emerging global trends. This plan, akin to the Saudi Arabian government’s economic diversification plan, should include a clear strategy with interlinked policies – trade, industrial, fiscal – and far-reaching structural and governance reforms of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that could include partial privatization (with share listed on the stock exchange for purchase by ordinary Nigerians and not by government-related cronies). In doing so, the interests of local communities in oil-producing regions must be protected – for example, by ensuring a set-aside in private ownership of the NNPC by members of the communities in the oil-producing regions)

6. There's serious rot in the education sector. Corruption is rampant. And the tertiary institutions are now glorified secondary schools as graduates are half baked and semi illiterates who have only learned how to cram their text books. Which policies are you likely to implement that will improve the quality of knowledge being disseminated from our ivory towers?


7. The health sector is almost comatose. People now go to the hospitals to die rather than get well.
Even the hospitals that work are very few and leaders prefer medical tourism to repairing the health sector. What steps are you going to take to improve the health sector in Nigeria?

Demonstrate political commitment to health system transformation.
Establish one world-class hospital in each of the six geopolitical zones


8. Do you have any plans for the senior citizens of Nigeria? How about the disabled?


9. What is your foreign policy going to look like?
Undertake a fundamental review of Nigerian foreign policy, linking it to a national worldview and addressing the domestic national circumstances that undermine effective foreign policy and power projection.
Reform of the Nigerian Foreign Service with emphasis on re-professionalization, training, greatly increased funding for the Foreign Service, and the establishment of a Foreign Service Commission in recognition of the unique needs and circumstances of the Foreign Service.
A career to non-career ration of 70:30 in the appointment of ambassadors, with non-career ambassadors to undergo intensive training in diplomacy and international affairs.


10. What is your opinion about the clamor for restructuring Nigeria. If you support it, how would you approach the restructuring of Nigeria and when will embark on it if elected?
Commence and complete a process of constitutional restructuring of Nigeria towards true federalism between 2019 and 2021 in partnership with the National Assembly and State Assemblies, restructuring the federating units into regions, with ownership of natural resources vesting in such regions as they may be found, and regional or state police to ensure more effective national security.

Thank you for your time and good luck as we await your response.[/quote]

Politics / Re: The Coming Democratic Revolution by Algebra12: 4:48pm On Apr 12, 2018
Nigerians!!

We want competency and proven track record, see it here. We now have an alternative.

Be progress minded.
Politics / The Coming Democratic Revolution by Algebra12: 4:39pm On Apr 12, 2018
On 28 February, 2018, I formally made myself available to serve our country as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2019. I intend to be a candidate for President in 2019 because:

a) Progressively increasing poverty, unemployment and insecurity are threatening our very existence as a country and our lives as citizens of Nigeria; we must turn our future around to one of stability and prosperity for the sake of our youth and children;

b) Our recycled political leaders who brought us to this point have clearly failed, and we must send them into retirement at the ballot box in a democratic revolution in 2019;

c) With our traditional politicians having failed us so badly, I believe we now need a technocrat with vision, character, competence and track record as President to begin the process of solving our problems with competent leadership, governance and economic management. It is time.

d) My experience and track record at senior leadership levels in reconstructing broken countries in my United Nations career, in economic management in Nigeria, in international diplomacy, and as a professor who has taught public policy and economic development to students from various countries at Tufts University’s prestigious Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in the USA, and as an entrepreneur has given me a unique combination of concrete leadership experience that has prepared me well to lead Nigeria.

That I have not previously been a Nigerian politician is precisely why, against the background of the kind of experience above, I am well placed to lead Nigeria effectively. We have many politicians but no real leaders, and that is why we are now the poverty capital of the world with the highest numbers of absolutely poor people of any country on earth.

We need to understand that dislodging the old order in our country will not be a walk-over. But, with our collective determination and participation, IT CAN BE DONE. Do you have your Permanent Voters Card (PVC)?. If not, please go and get one. Don’t let any obstacle stop you. That is PVC#1. After that comes PVC#2: Please Vote Carefully.

I intend to win the 2019 presidential election. As I write, we (the movement of citizens that I am a part of) are organizing across the country, north, south, east and west to accomplish this. With your determination and participation as citizens, it will happen and we can begin a new and better chapter in our national history.

Disregard the pretensions of our failed and recycled politicians that they are indispensable just because they have (mostly stolen public) funds and structures. That is how they have maintained their hold on power in the service of their vested interests instead of serving the people — by intimidating citizens. It’s just like the biblical encounter between David and Goliath. We know how that ended.

I will announce the party platform on which I intend to contest the election in a few weeks. I do not intend to contest the election on the platform of the two parties of the old political order, APC and PDP, that have brought our country to its present sorry state. We need something truly new and different, not old wine in seemingly new wine-skin. We need a new way of organizing and doing things that answers to the talent and aspirations of our youth and our women. Both demographics make up most of our population but have no voice in the scheme of things. But for this to become reality, we all need to become more confident and participate actively by voting for the right leadership choices.

We don’t need messiahs and should be wary of anyone who pretends he or she will be one — as recent experience has taught us! But a government that I will lead will be radically different and will achieve radically different outcomes that will lead our citizens and our country to prosperity. What will be different? A sampler, but there is much more. We will:

Run a merit-based but inclusive government that will heal our country and build a nation, and be ready to work from Day One.

Ensure full implementation of the National Youth Policy to empower our youth in governance and as private citizens.

Implement a gender parity policy of 50:50 ratio in political appointments for women and men, but will go beyond that to undertake massive social education that will attack the underlying roots of gender bias.

Complete, in collaboration with the National and State Assemblies, a constitutional restructuring of Nigeria that restores true federalism for stability and prosperity within two years of taking office.

Create an innovation-led economy and establish a public-private venture capital fund to provide equity funding to unemployed youth to start new businesses that will in turn employ other Nigerians as these businesses grow; the minimum capital of this fund will be N500 billion but with counterpart private sector funding it could be up to N1 trillion in size.

Introduce legislation for compulsory voting by Nigerian citizens in elections; this will empower Nigerians and deepen the culture of democracy in Nigeria.

We have seen the power of the people yield electoral outcomes that disrupted the status quo in countries like France (Emmanuel Macron), United States (Barack Obama, Donald Trump) and some African countries like our neighboring Gambia. Together, we can do it in our country Nigeria too. But it requires your will and action. You and I can and will form the structures necessary to make it happen. Don’t say: “this would be good for Nigeria but will ‘they’ let him win? Who is “they”? It’s you and me if you, the people, so decide. Bad leaders come to office only when good people do nothing. Let’s prevent that in 2019. It is time.

No sir, I'm from the Southern part of Nigeria (I'd like to assume you are too) and I'm strongly against it and would rather things were done or positons given based on merit. But we cannot deny the fact that the present Nigerian arrangement isn't working, because even the merit system can (and would) be abused.

Take for instance, currently all service chiefs save for the CDS and CNS are from the North. The south has only two, with the south east having none.

The government of the day can safely argue they appointed qualified hands into all the positions held by Northerners. Would they be right? Yes. But does it seem fair? That no single south easterner was qualified enough for even one of those positions? No, not fair.

The quota system was meant to address situations like this when followed in sincerity. So you see, the quota system wasn't/isn't that bad to say when applied right. Hence, nothing wrong is reducing the cut off mark for the educationally disadvantaged northern kids to be encouraged and be able to have quality education like their southern brothers.

Again to show how silly the quota system can be, take the case of the super eagles team that won the last Nations cuo for Nigeria. The first (and winning) team with exception to Ahmed Musa and someone else (cant remember the name) were all from the south east. If quota system was to be applied in that team, every zone (NE, NC, NW, SS, SE,SW) should have been represented with at least two players from their zone. If a man from the SW was to be substituted he must be replaced by another SW player. It doesn't matter if one is a striker and the other a defender but the player needed at that moment was a midfielder.

So you see, this is the ugly situation we find ourselves in. My solution? Let us go back to regionalism and resource control. But before then, the people who destroyed that arrangement due to greed and selfishness must apologize to the rest of the nation and stop crying victims all the time.

You see, I argued earlier that it is not fair to deny people who meet the cut off mark when there are spaces available, having taken all the northern kids that scored 2 and the likes, but you gloated because you want to mock the Easterners that they should eat the dish served them because they are Ironsi kinsmen.
That they should suffer the actions of a military head of state who happens to come from the east and not complain that its not fair. So now, why are you bringing fairness into it?

Remember, " whatever goes around, always comes around"

How did we get to a stage when we talk about quota system? You need to answer this question first.

Secondly, you know So much about quota system, yet none of you complained when 72 of your tribes men were made principals out of a possible 104 slots.

The problem is that you lot always bury your heads in the sand when the situation favour you but are the first to scream injustice when you feel you are losing. Your hypocrisy stinks.

I ask again, why did Aguiyi Ironsi and co make the unification decree? What were they looking for in the North? Until you answer these questions, suck whatever you get and shut up.

Stop throwing unfounded and unsubstantiated figures and allegations around. It can only deceive the gullible. The bolded happened In this country and we did not hear you and your likes shout your usual way.

It is obvious you glory in injustice and what you are propounding is akin to throwing away the food in the midst a lot of hungry and malnourished children.

Who was the person or group of people who passed the unification decree again? What was(were) the motive(s) for that decree?

Yanga been dey sleep, trouble go wake..

During the last administration, out of the 104 unity colleges, these same group of people were principals in a total of 72 colleges. i.e beyond the colleges in their region. Despite the disquiet in the ministry of Education, thanks to Wike, they felt it was their right and never saw the injustice being done to other Nigerians. Still, Nobody came out crying and shouting like victimhood like these hate filled eternal cry babies.

Like the same thing that happened in the university college Ibadan when their kinsman filled every fillable position with his tribesmen, like the same thing Odua did in the aviation ministry during the last administration.. They are always blind and quiet when the injustice favours them, but shout to high heavens when others are perceived as advantaged.



If every body been dey him region the manage themselves like pre January 15, 1966, Nigeria for no dey here in the first place. Nonsense.

I see it that you saw nothing wrong in the inbalances in this quota system. Of course, you had to resort to your revisionist diatribe.
Is it out of place to fix other qualified kids from other regions in these other schools that dont get up to their carrying capacity? Granted, you gave the East fewer unity schools and makes admission tougher for them, yet you still denied them admission when there are empty spaces looking for someone to occupy.

Aquariann, I think you need to go and examine your sanity

People who hawk their wares in the markets pay tax.

How did we neglect to tax a business venture that contribute 6% to our GDP all this while?

But the point now is not that they MUST pay tax but that they should use their own monies to set up their own cattle ranches and not appropriate other people's farmlands.

From another forum:

#Who_Cursed_Southerners?

In this Nigeria, an average Southerner is a weakling. A born coward with serious complex issues. A fool and an idiot. A slave. A typical example of a butterfly who thinks himself a bird. But this is not even the problem. The biggest problem is, he doesn't even realise he is any of those things.

The only thing an average Southerner is good at is blowing high sounding grammar and acquiring degrees upon degrees but when it comes to things that matter most, he goes to slumber.

An average Southerner has this twisted mindset that the best way to be seen as a patriotic and detribalised Nigerian is by degrading, shaming and disparaging his own tribe for no just cause.

Abacha stole this country blind, such that 20 years after, his loot is still being returned to the country. But in spite of this, people like Buhari publicly swore that he (Abacha) stole nothing. But to an average Southern idiot, Jonathan's 5 year rule is the reason we have no fuel, no light, no good educational system, no nothing! Jonathan is the worst thief in Nigeria's history. IBB, Abdulsalam and even Buhari who was accused of stealing billions of dollars as PTF boss were all saints. Why? Because they are Northerners.

Was it not a southern he-goat named Obasanjo who publicly accused Jonathan of training snipers in Pyongyang (North Korea) ahead of last year's election?? He made the unfounded allegation just to please his masters upnorth. Now that we have the highest figure of senseless deaths of civilians in the hands of both state and non state actors under a Northern president Buhari, have you read any letter from OBJ??

When Shiites were massacred in Zaria, it took less than 48 hours for Chidi Odinkalu of the National Human Right Commission to establish a commission of inquiry and summon the army chief but when unarmed IPOB members praying in a school field in Aba were murdered by the security agents, did you hear even a loosely worded condemnation from Chidi Odinkalu??

Check out the list of those asking that Fayose to be tried for treason for writing to the Chinese govt over Buhari's $2 loan, they are 80% southerners. And most of them have not even read the said Fayose letter at least to know the reasons Fayose adduced in the said letter. These are the same fools who kept mum when Sango Abdullahi, Sani Kaita and some so called Northern elders publicly threatened to make the country ungovernable if power wasn't returned to the North. When Buhari made his 'dogs and baboon' speech and directly caused the death of southern youth corpers, these morons kept mum.

With all the numberless killing of civilians under this regime and its open support for the genocide the world fourth deadliest terror group (the Fulani militant) has continue to visit on Nigerians, have these highly educated southerners bothered to write a strongly worded petition to the ICC just like Nyako, El-rufai and other northerners did to Jonathan??

These southern fools will gleefully yell 'Kanu should rot in jail, he was preaching hate on radio Biafra!' But these clowns maintained sealed lips over the hateful and inciting broadcast by 'Radio Chanji' and Arewa Radio upNorth. Such is the degree of the soulless hypocrisy of these southern senseless hypocrites.

These nitwits were on rooftops telling us how incompetent and corrupt Jonathan was and how his removal was a patriotic duty. Today, things have all gone worse under Buhari and you would think that these southern imbeciles would be at the forefront calling for Buhari's resignation but no! They are the ones defending the Daura born ex-soldier even against the worse things for which they crucified Jonathan then.

Now I know why Jonathan appeared weak as president and spent his 5 year term trying to please the North.

He knew he had nobody behind him. He knew that we Southerners are weaklings only good at blowing high sounding but empty grammar.

These 'efulefu' southerners will never question why Buhari has never condemned the murderous activities of his fulani kinsmen but these same 'anumpamas' will read this post and quickly tag me a bigot.

Slaves who think themselves masters!!

It's really sad what this government is turning out to be, we agree we never had an economy (oil dependant), no reserve or savings but come on its almost 2yrs.

Our division and stupidity hasn't helped matter, we have refused to allow the government sell assets or borrow fund.

You must be out of your senses for making the bolded comment.
We refused to allow him sell assets?? Did you listen to yourself??

We allowed him increase fuel price by 67.63%
We allowed him increase electricity tarrif
We allowed him render our currency useless and claimed he is recovering looted funds.
He has spent well over #8 trillion in 18 months, yet you are here yapping that we did not allow him sell asset.

Which ones did he build?

You better respect yourself.

Going back to the beginning of this treatise, the
argument can, and will always be made that the GEJ
government had to go, since we don’t want to reward
a bad government.
BUT, did we have to replace it
with this failure? The answer is no, therefore our
first failure was cowardice.
We failed to be bold and look at the other alternatives
on offer. There were other candidates on the ballot,
bearing names such as Chekwas, Sonaiya, Okoye,
Salawu, Galadima. We did not give any of these a
look-in, but instead fell into the trap of binary
thinking. Truth is, saying that Buhari is running a bad
government, does not automatically mean that I’m
saying that Jonathan ran a good government. Sadly,
too many Nigerians are binary thinkers, and that is
why we are still seeing some of the frankly, ludicrous
arguments making the rounds on social media.
We replaced a government that was performing at
20% with one that is performing at 5%, and that is
because we were binary in thinking. What happened
to the protest vote? Why did we, when the APC
presented to us, a frankly bad candidate, not coalesce
around another party? Rather, we bought into the
hype, gambled, and now, we may well have lost it all.

The author of this write-up need to get his head examined.
So you still are giving yourselves consolation that you made the right choice in removing GEJ while admitting you were foolish in bringing in PMB?
What is it called? Throwing away the baby with the bath water all because the baby poopooed??.
Admitting your foolishness is good but dont bring in that line of GEJ not being an option, its stale already.

You were a bad judge of character simple, or you fell to propaganda, or you simply hated the man. Stop justifying your foolishness.
