illiteracy is thriving here. Bros, not dat u didn't go to schl but mathematically n politically. I won't bother to engage u in cursing game cos u'll win.

Thanks you but I challenge you to bring out your credentials and lets see who is more literate ....in all ramifications.
Why did you mention "cursing"? Did you see that in my post? If there is any lie in my post kindly mention them because they are facts and stop systematic this bullying and disrespect.
Happy new year to you.

To your question....No Osinbanjo is no embarrassing Christianity.

Cluelessness of a clueless Mr Clueless.

Stealing is not corruption hence not a crime.

Clueless society under the cluelessness of a clueless Mr. Clueless.

Sai Buhari
GEJ till 2015

Not funny. ...Happy new year anyways

Where will they have money for election if they do not "suddenly" increase allocation? Investment my asx!!!! ...How long was the last ASUU strike? Success rate in last SSCE?

Cluelessness of a clueless Mr. Clueless

The more you criticise him, the more popular he becomes. Everyone is talking about actions of 1983 why not talk about inactions of 2010-2014. Inaction in corruption, security, infrastructural development, education, Economy ( oil wind don open your yansh).....

With Goodluck Jonathan's collapsing popularity, Muhammadu Buhari actually stands a chance of winning the 2015 elections.

For the first time in Nigeria's 16 years of democracy, there is real chance that the president could be someone other than the candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).

Many times, I have described Muhammadu Buhari, the man who will face Jonathan in 2015, as a "perennially-losing presidential candidate".

In 2003 he emerged as the sole candidate of the All Peoples Party (APP), after two candidates Rochas Okorocha and Harry Akande were pressured into stepping down, while Yahaya Abubakar failed to show up on the date of the primary. In the elections, Buhari lost to then incumbent, Olusegun Obasanjo of the PDP.

In 2007, he was consensus candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) after Bukar Ibrahim and Pere Ajunwa were made to back down on convention day. Buhari then lost to PDP's Umaru Musa Yar'Adua.

In 2011, he contested the elections on the platform of the Congress for Progressives Change (CPC), which he formed, losing again, to Goodluck Jonathan. In all three cases, his emergence was without intra-party opposition.

But I am first to admit that Buhari's story has changed. By contesting and winning the presidential primary of the All Progressive Congress (APC) - the first time his presidential ambition has been challenged - Buhari has recorded the most important victory of his political career. And if the 2015 election is free and fair, he could well better that record.

Why Buhari may win

Buhari remains the single most popular man in northern Nigeria. Despite lacking real party structure, Buhari, with CPC in 2011, defeated Jonathan in Yobe, Zamfara, Sokoto, Niger, Kebbi, Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Gombe and Jigawa. He single-handedly polled a total of 12,214,853 votes, which amounted to 54.3 percent of Jonathan's tally. Riding on the back of APC's nationwide structure backed by 14 governors and their war chest, a Buhari victory in 2015 is quite possible.

Buhari is popular outside the north as well. Four days after he created his Twitter account (@ThisIsBuhari), he had already amassed 45,000 followers. This is testament to Buhari's growing national - not just northern - acceptability, because the north remains Nigeria's least literate zone. The north, therefore, has a sparse population of Internet users, which means that Buhari's crowd of Twitter followers probably come from across the country.

In truth, Buhari cannot take full credit for his popularity outside the north. Full marks should go to Goodluck Jonathan, the man who has unravelled as the antithesis of his opponent's unique selling point.

Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati can deliver the floweriest prose about his boss's aversion to corruption while his colleague Doyin Okupe hurls the foulest words at the opposition and other Nigerians daily puncturing the president's professed incorruptibility. But the majority of Nigerians have come to accept that Jonathan, even if re-elected for 10 terms, will never fight corruption. The courage is lacking, the political will is nonexistent, the desperation for re-election is so consuming that he would not hurt the weakest of his corrupt political allies. So Nigerians are prepared to turn to Buhari, unarguably the least stained presidential aspirant in the eyes of the people.

When APC was formed in February 2013, senior PDP figures dismissed it as a failure-bound union of four parties. Who would blame them? Many were sceptical that this merger would not survive even a year. Yet, in another two months, this merger would be two years old. But that is not the story.

The story is that all APC presidential aspirants defeated by Buhari have offered him their support. Few expected it. Atiku Abubakar, the man most expected to bolt out of APC in the event of a loss, congratulated Buhari the moment the ex-general's vote count overtook his, even though the winner had not yet been officially announced at the time. There is a massive movement for Buhari, which Jonathan didn't face in 2011.

Negative perceptions

That Buhari stands a good chance of winning does not mean he is not facing challenges. Nigerians, though forgetful, are largely an unforgiving lot. Their memories only need to be reignited by reminders of an individual's past indiscretions.

That was what Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka did, first in 2007; and his thoughts have been massively re-circulated since Buhari's emergence as the APC candidate. The unjust execution of Lawal Ojuolape, Bernard Ogedengbe and Bartholomew Owoh, through a retroactive decree, will haunt Buhari ahead of February.

There is nothing Muhammadu Buhai can do - and he himself knows - to extricate himself from his perception as a religious bigot. For the second time running, he has chosen a pastor as his running mate. But even if he chooses a pope, there are Nigerians who won't pick Buhari for fear of enthroning a religiously extreme president.

In 2011, Buhari was accused of inciting the violence that followed his loss to Jonathan. The following year, he said "the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood" should the 2015 election be rigged. Buhari has shed blood before for his presidential ambition, some people believe. And they think he would do it again. Such man, they reason, should never taste power.

And there are those who would never vote for a 72-year-old. How can APC be trumpeting change while fielding a man who was military president more than three decades ago? That's no change; it's recycling.

The candidature of a septuagenarian is a dent on whatever progress we think we have made as a democracy. And although there have been arguments on the immorality of voting for either Buhari or Jonathan, Nigeria badly needs the "recycled freshness" that voting Jonathan out would herald!

Bolder are fact. Nigeria rethink!!!!

Simply because he is clueless!!!!!.....cluelessness of a clueless Mr. Clueless.

The way cracked down on Obanikoro for "militarization" of Ekiti and Osun Elections. They way he cracked down on perpetrator of missing $20 billion NNPC money, pension fund, Kerosene subsidy, otedola bribery scandal, Stella oduah. ...

Abeg go and sit down.......44 days more for you and your cohorts before GMB start cracking on y'all. ...

Monetarily, assuming your new job is just for 6 months, you will get wealth of 1.2million. while in your present job you can only amass that sum in 30 months!!!! Technically you have gained 2 years!!!! Even if it will take you another 6 months to get another job. I believe you are still good.

MTN is a well recognized organization in Nigeria hence your resume is better than before, more robust, more experience and more presentable. Inter-company experience is actually also better than working in a place all your life because you gain more experience in "business" processes and meet new people (networking) which is highly important.

My advise...go for the new job. Dont let fear of the unknown debar your progress.

Good luck

mamajohn:
It is in times like this that you know
the true men of God. Men like
Prophets Amos and Isaiah in the Old
Testament. Prophets who are not
afraid, who are bold to speak the
message from the throne of grace,
the message that God asked them to
deliver.
Last Sunday, a man of God, Pastor
J.T. Kalejaiye mounted the pulpit at
the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, Cornerstone Parish (aka My
Father’s House) where Pastor
Danjuma Tafawa-Balewa is the
resident pastor, to deliver the home
truth, addressing the problems of the
nation, calling a spade a spade, and
urging Nigerians to wake up and vote
without religious or ethnic
sentiments.
The kernel of his message: Don’t
vote along religious or ethnic lines.
Vote for the right man who would
move the country forward,
irrespective of his religion or his eth­
nicity. The man of God, predicting the
forthcoming Presidential election,
said “There would be a pleasant
surprise. Go and mark it.”
Sounding angry with the way Nigeria
is going, Kalejaiye fumed: “Of what
use is my brother, my blood brother
who is not going to move the nation
forward? And you want me to vote for
him because he is my brother? Don’t
let us deceive ourselves.”
Nigerians, the year 2015 election.
There would be a pleasant surprise.
Go and mark it. Of what use is my
brother, my blood brother who is not
going to move the nation forward?
And you want me to vote for him
because he is my brother? Don’t let
us deceive ourselves. Who is a
Christian? Who is a Muslim? When I
was working somewhere, my boss
was a Muslim. I enjoyed under him.
My boss provoked me to study
further. My boss was always after my
welfare. It shall be well him wherever
he is today. He is a Muslim. The
soldier attached to me was with me
for almost 15 years. I never knew he
was a Muslim. The day he opened
his mouth to say “Sir, I am Muslim,” I
said “What? But you follow me to the
camp. You do this, you do that.” He
said that when it was time to pray he
would pray.
Brethren, wake up! Who is a
Christian? That somebody goes to
church doesn’t make him a Christian.
That somebody bears Christian name
doesn’t make him a Christian. You
are a Christian, yet there is no
employment for our youths. People
who should be feeding their parents,
they are still being fed by their
parents. How many youths can do
marriage today without the support of
their parents, financially? During our
own time, we did our wedding, we
only called our parents to come and
eat. Today, our children who are 35,
we are still feeding them. What are
we saying? Let’s call a spade a
spade, brethren. Things cannot
continue this way. Corruption is the
order of the day. You can steal and
nothing will follow. That's all.

In bold are strong words and they are real....Quite unfortunate!!!

This Government and hungry journalist will just be ditching out figure without facts.
750000 youths and 3 million farm jobs?...where are they? Is this not same that was promised with SURE-P after removing the subsidy (the only thing the poor masses enjoy from Government)? Lets ask ourself a single question - How many of your acquaintances (Friend, Neigbhour, Church and mosque member, Schoolmates etc) is employed as a "real" farmer? The real fact is that all these money goes back to the Politicians. They are the one owning big farms: Adeniji Adele, Olumilua (Ekiti), Falae (Ondo), Atiku, Obasanjo, etc They will corner all these funds and activities for themselves. My aunty in Ilorin went into farming fulltime after her retiremnet in late 90's ....she never get any subsidy or aid.

80 Agricultural equipment hiring centres - For where? In Ekiti or Benue? I did not see any. What are they hiring? Cutlasses or Hoes? Baskets or firewood?

We are producing millions of tonnes of rice but all I see in all stores and market are still Thai rice.....where are all the Millions of tonnes of rice produced in Nigeria?


The only thing produced by this government is lies and fraudulent figure just to entice populace to vote GEJ come 2015.

May God help us !!!!

vandalZA:
but if we can change this in to percentage south Africa could be number one........Nigeria 57.7million people on internet over 170million population and south Africa with 25million users on internet over 47million population..........if you know the percentage you could see the difference

I don't agree with you. Proportion of what? Why are you using the proportion of individual country's population and not a proportion of the world population? We are looking at the larger picture here ...world population. We are number You think say to born 5-6 pikin for 1 family easy which makes up 170 Million?......If SA wan reach that level make dem go dey born wella...like 8 in a family......Till then Nigeria has the highest number of internet users in Africa. Shikena!!!!

aze:
Let them keep deceiving gullible people with below $2/day bul1shlt statistics. Naija is way too exposed and smart. Just that our literacy level and human capital potential is intimidating some countries.

God bless you for this piece. All those 2$/day statistics was in the 50's, Literacy level in Nigeria high. All those stat of 30 million has HIV, 70% are poor ...na wash. It is just for NGO and Government to get donors and aids respectively. Person that is living on 2$/day dey do Aso ebi? Dey do bash? Dey drink Alomo?, 6 odeku?

This is the single correct statistic about Nigeria. Even all those population of 170 Million na lie......All those Ekiti, Osun, Kebbi, Ebonyi, Gombe, Bayelsa, Zamfara no pass 15 million all together.

Where are the youth? All I see here are old men, a**lickers, attention seekers.
When 50 year old man is still claiming youth what will 30 year old be ----Pregnancy?

Thanks you have all been recognized.

Next.......

Please I have a car on Grande Marroco which I learnt it has berted on 13th.
I like to clear it.....2004 ACURA MDX.

I will call you tommorrow to arrange immediate clearing. I need to work on this urgently ....Thanks

No southwestern is expecting a Buhari/Fashola candidacy due to the Muslim -Muslim thing. Unfortunately the best candidate for VP role in SW presently is Fashola. We all know that, consciously or unconsciously, Nigerians still attach religion to politics which is why they chose the second best candidate which in my own opinion is a great strategy.
SW is secured for APC. SW and NE is the home of APC.

APC strategist are intelligent....and I hope it works out.

God bless Nigeria

Yes, I have been preparing for the test. I need 20 points from the test because I have 40 already. With subclass 189, no settlement fund or evidence and I land anywhere I like. I will soon go away from here.

Go away from where? Internet dey Aussie too na. I trust you... You will still be using one-eye check Nairaland from that side.
Once a Nairalander is forever a Nairalander. I love your spirit anyways....no retreat no surrender.

Sincerely wish you best of luck.

A good strategy. I hope it works against the PDP's money machines after they have starched billions of dollars (from missing NNPC money to Pension money, Billion dollars projects being rolled out in last quarter of 2014) to win this election.

Secondly, I pray if they win, Amaechi will not use his stubbornness to scatter this "new found love". I am scared that this combination will be a metal to metal collabo....No one of them will bend hence cracks!!!!!

It is winning strategy anyways

PDP: President is South South, VP is North Central
APC: President North Central, VP is South South

I am a APC sympathiser....

God bless Nigeria

London’s airspace was locked down following a computer failure at a central control center, throwing traffic to and from Europe’s busiest airport into disarray.

The fault is due to a technical glitch at the Swanwick air-traffic center, the NATS authority said in a statement on its website, and authorities are seeking to re-open the air space at 7 p.m. local time.

London’s Heathrow had 141 departure delays, representing 21 percent of flights, as of 3:40 p.m. local time, according to FlightAware.com, an aviation tracking website.

Fewer arrivals, 93 or 13 percent, were delayed, according to FlightAware.

“We apologise for any delays and our incident response team has been mobilised,” National Air Traffic Services said in the statement. “Every possible action is being taken to assist in resolving the situation and to confirm the details.”

Heathrow airport confirmed that there has been an issue at Swanwick, and that flights are experiencing delays.

The Swanwick operations room manages the en-route airspace over England and Wales up to the Scottish border as well as lower-altitude traffic to and from London’s airports.

Effect of this can be disastrous

Plane crashes, collision
Flight diverted (a flight from Tunisia is already diverted to Charles de Gaulle, Paris)
Severe delay in flight take off and landing
Airport "jam-packed"

Yeah, I am doing PTE-Academic on Wednesday. I know it will be much better than IELTS. I know what monopoly is..YIMU to British Council! I don't know how they want somebody to get 30/30 in writing on TOEFL Ibt for superior level. So I will update Oz thread later and PTE-A could be the way forward. Cambridge Advanced English will soon be added.

I need 79/90 all bands or above on Wednesday. Canada EE is all experimental and it won't favor me and many but I'm happy Oz's road is simpler. Thank you BossladyMo! I will chat you up on your opinion if I should wait to round off my Masters degree project in order to boost my ICT Major content or go with my B.Sc transcript and certificate. You know my 7 courses are still being awaited and I have paid for both transcripts. My M.Sc has 15 ICT courses!

ACS needs me to upload certified copies of all and pay. I see people get their assessment results after one month. Bosslady, I know you aren't into much IT but you could say a thing or two! Thank you once again.

On the bolded, Please dont say that again!!! It is experimental, Now that you could not meet the point ...it suddenly becomes experimental. IELTS is now monopoly!!! hmmm. Oz suddenly become simpler, then what of current FSWP? Super simplest.....? You were the one lightening this thread up with this EE thing, now you are berating it..... Known devil is better than an unknown Angel. All the best with Aussie moves!!!

ferdimako:
No! Going back to OZ!

Good luck on that. That is why we no dey see you for this thread anymore?
