don't confuse yourself, he didn't favour the north, he favoured a northern cabal

By

- setting up almajiri schools.
- setting up universities
- improving farming with better fertiliser distribution and improved seedlings input.
- reviving textile industry
- rehabilitating Kano airport so Ethiopian airlines flies there four times a week.

That is supporting a cabal and not the people

chamboy:
goan sleep

Is that what you meant about 'existence'?

BTW why should I go and sleep at 9:30am when I am not jobless mofo. Is that what you are by chance, since you are asking me to go and sleep

Very good development.

It is critically important that Jimi Agbaje and PDP carefully, methodically and emotionlessly STUDY the results to fine tune their campaign strategy and MESSAGES right away for greater assurance of victory at the state assembly and governorship elections on the 11th.

chamboy:
Are u still in existence

Meaning

bushdoc9919:
But he is getting there.The Saudis are busy saying ''All is well''(One Saudi minister even said on CNBC that oil prices will rise again. I just laughed). Venezuela is just running around borrowing money.

I have high hopes for Russia. They have a industrial sector....that just needs some brushing up.

The era of high oil prices is over. Any Nigerian leader who does not get it now...better get it.

Before we wake up and find that Christine Lagarde has taken over the running of our economy.

You seem to think that changing individual and societal lifestyle is simple and easy.

It is NOT at both levels.

We are witnessing how Jonathan's efforts at doing that were misunderstood and rebuffed by us the ultimate beneficiaries in our impatience.

I will remind you about Russia and Nigeria in due course.

Cheers!

bushdoc9919:
Well....Putin spent the first 30 minutes of a recent press conference lamenting that he did not get russia off oil.

Putin knows how to TALK, no more no less.

He has been in power solidly for almost 20 years, he is NOW lamenting- that is not same as getting anything!

bushdoc9919:
That's irrelevant. Besides...you PDP guys lost middle belt states you should not have lost. Like Benue for crying out loud,and Kogi and even Adamawa!

Didn't OBJ take on the same North in 2003....and win? Did he not get votes in the North then? If the South wants to win agian...we need bridge builders and patient guys.

(But...for me...it ain't about the South vs North...but performance....but that's another issue.)

Yep...the North has us outnumbered.(I believe that Nigeria has problematic censuses...but them Northerners do have lots of kids...personal experience working there.).



I daresay Buhari would be a disappointment (that's why I don't support him in the first place..all of his supporters appeared to be too nostalgia-driven for my liking.)...but if he is one...that is where you opposition guys come in with the bridge building and stuff. Not every Northerner loves Buhari.And democracy is not Easy Street.

I supported and still support Jonathan because his performance in five years is way BETTER by far than Buhari plus the best of APC as I have shown here recently. I expect Jonathan to win but IF Buhari wins I expect another Abacha experience that will teach us clearly.

If you did not support Jonathan you AUTOMATICALLY support Buhari and whatever he brings along as this was a two-horse race!

As for OBJ's win in 1999 & 2003 put that down to rigging as we still have in the NE and NW while Jonathan's greater democratic credentials allowed fairer elections in the NC and SW.

As for me and 'opposition' you must assume I am with PDP, right? You can check my posts on Fashola against Tinubu, 2009-2010. I go with the better of my options and Jonathan plus PDP are that for now.

Interesting times ahead overall.

bushdoc9919:
Yo....this PDP loss is really changing yer mood .

On a more serious note....as I told you earlier....APC might not be the change we need.

But...if they want to be serious...they are gonna make some changes. And they should in my opinion....spend more on Technical education,Power and railways. And be bold and get rid of the subsidy. And of course...focus on education....not just by renovating schools, but by changing the way teachers are trained and taught.

I may be dreaming....but then again, who said one cannot make things happen in a democracy.(That's the beauty of it!).

APC better get a good policy down. Not the good old ''I will build roads'' tale.

Most of us do not realise the country is skewed to the north for political power with its 19 states and bogus population.

I will be here to remind us of the choice we made IF Buhari wins. The now hidden deception won't take long to be manifest!

bushdoc9919:
Anyone ruling Nigeria today has to face the fact.....relying on oil is not going to work anymore. Everybody is producing oil.Not like in the good old days when what OPEC said was the law....even in New York.

And if Buhari does not get it...if he still thinks it is 1984(and it isn't).....problems dey.

At least Putin of Russia gets it....

The era of oil is over. If APC does not get it....then they better get out by 2019....so that another party who gets it can take over.

What does Putin get?

What proves that he got anything?

I wish you luck in 2019 IF you have to get Buhari and APC out.

bushdoc9919:
On a more serious note....we do have to get off oil...and develop an industrial economy.

Infact....that is what I would be judging Buhari-Osibanjo on......their ability to develop such an economy.

In a world where oil prices are dropping like leaves from a dying tree.....we have to seek alternatives. And the old model of selling resources to the West does not work anymore. Either science renders our raw materials obsolete.....or the price is dropping. We have no choice. Either separate or united....Nigeria must industrialize. Now.



P.S....Four years ago...I read this article....and it changed my thinking about our economy.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/11/opinion/sunday/friedman-pass-the-books-hold-the-oil.html?_r=0

And Buhari plus APC have a sterling record of focusing on education that is way better than Jonathan's not so

bushdoc9919:
He can do that....by getting Nigeria off oil dependency.

Really....we should stop relying on oil....with oil prices dropping the way they are.

The UAE (of which Dubai is a component emirate) does produce oil....they even produce 1 million barrels more than we do. They also have a population of 8million people...which means that the oil money can go around easily....unlike Nigeria with 170million folks (and even the South South has far more people than Dubai).

That is why Nigeria has to get off oil...and become industrial. If GMB gets our power supply working properly....we would have taken a great step in that direction.

Like he did in the 80s when he had NO legislature and 36 semi-autonomous states to deal with, not so

just4fun:
JEGA FOR PRESIDENT 2019!!!!!!

After Jonathan's second term

olaboy001:
Results of Rivers State alone where APC got 60,923 & PDP having 1,487 075 will go down as the biggest electoral fraud in Nigerian history.....

They didn't rig Enugu well. They should have spared some votes for Void Votes na. Not like Void Votes will go to APC #NigeriaDecides

The results of Katsina and Kano na wetin? Biggest electoral SCAM

johnny1980:
You should keep shut.

The elections in both Kano and Katsina have been very transparent.


I still have corpers who are POs there and almost all confirmed that they were not intimated nor where there widespread rigging.


Also the turn of 51% for Kano is also a reflection of thw transparency as most states in the federation recorded almost same.

Tell your story to the Marines they might just believe

ogene007:
The expressed will of the people started getting distorted right from when INEC in collusion with APC permitted underage voters registration in the north, followed by voting of those minors on the 28th of march elections. In addition, the distortion also included midnight voting/rigging in the north, coupled with violence and threat of violence against GEJ supporters in the north.

Thanks for the points raised above.....far too many mumus down here who can't see the big picture!!!

mpowa:
There's no rigging in the North and South West

Interesting

You need to convince yourself first sha of what you typed above

yinkarh187:
Nigerians really need to stand up against enugu vote... How can there be no voided vote in d whole of enugu and almost 70k voided in nasarawa

You should stand up against Katsina and Kano first, deal

Burger01:
Our new president is Buhari! Take it or leave it.

Sai Buhari

With massive rigging of 1.3 million and 1.9 million in Katsina and Kano that must be cancelled he can be sworn in Google square after adding Chatham House polling unit votes to his fraudulent tally!!!

ziccoit:
It would have been a landslide victory for APC to a margin of up to 10million but with heavy rigging in SS and SE APC is going to manage 4-6million margin.

The 1.3 million and 1.9 million for Buhari in Katsina nor be heavy rigging abi you want call am heavy padding

3kay945:
No they shouldn't. They're our big brothers cos we are still toddler yet to know good from bad.

Speak for yourself please oyinbo slave!!!

ghettodreamz:
And what would you say about Rivers and Akwa-Ibom's results?

Next time, use this
https://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/brain1.jpg

Did you use it before typing rubbish? Did you get 1.9 million in any of those two states

sseunhayor:
Will he be ruling from otuoke... Even if he rig d whole con3 Buhari go still win.

So how will your Fashola be president in 2019?

Abi you get Buhari's signed agreement for one term

You guys are jokers, walahi

sseunhayor:
Thats the change supremacy. The change legacy himself.... Our presidio come 2019

After Jonathan's second term?

oakson:
JONA TREAD SOFTLY THE WORLD IS WATCHING
No say I no warn u oooo
Sai Buhari

The message is for Buhari with his bogus fraudulent rigged 1.3 million and 1.9 million in Katsina and Kano respectively.

sevantex:
The fraud in Nassarawa state is clear!...,

Katsina state with 1.3 million for Buhari and almost zero for Jonathan go be massive Baba of fraud not so

kishimi8:
this nassarawa state issue stinks of pdp manipulation.,., 70000+ votes just down the drain in apc strongholds,, akwanga for that matter
we de wait ,, now if an uprising starts in that area the will say hausa people are violent.,,. 70000+

When Katsina gave Buhari 1.4m did you say APC manipulation

panasharp:
Wind of change is blowing -- God bless Nigeria -- it's a new dawn

Not wind of massive RIGGING

ChinemeOkpan:
Igbos have rejected Jonathan by boycotting the election

The people of Katsina came out in their numbers to support their son

Try another story.

Keep making yourself eternal slave to others- your choice.

Enjoy!

aresa:
SE as usual. Very self destructive region with self destructive mentality. Enjoy many more years in the wilderness...

Would you say the same about Katsina, Sokoto, Kano etc

ChinemeOkpan:
poor result

60% voter turn out in Jonathan's domain. It should be in the 80% region.

All SE states have so far recorded less than 50% turnover.

The chances of Jonathan winning is very slim

Compared to Katsina 1.4m votes for Buhari what does this say about APC being master RIGGERS
