GenBuhari: Definition of a White elephant project is something that there is no real demand for. There is a great need for this additional transport infrastructure project.
As usual, and just like the idol whose name you have adopted as your handle, you are wrong =>
A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness.
emekagh: ^^^^ There are minions of plans in the country, please let us know when any materialize.
Abi oh, three and a half years later, has anyone seen the promised power plant by the progreTHIEF Fashola Bunch of 419 rulers
PeterKbaba: fashola! simply the best thing that as happened to lagos state and when he becomes president, he would lead us to the promise land.
That must be a promised land of darkness bought with billions of tax payers' money just like Obasanjo who is now the "navigator" of their national ship did with us at the federal level for over eight years
GenBuhari: FG would frustrate him to prevent APC get the dividends fo the mono-rail completion during 2015 elections.
I can understand your frame of thinking, since your handle, General Muhammadu Buhari, the ethno-religious bigot cancelled Jakande's Lagos metro rail project over 30 years ago after his military COUP. What a shameless, clueless daft person who did not mind the penalties from the breach of contract that had to be paid for the cancelled project
omenka: 500 naira, 300 naira, this is how cheap PDP has made Nigerians!!
I wonder what's in the heads of those people that support the continuation of these crop of crooks in power.
Perhaps they realize that the proposed change from Arewa People's Congress, APC is WORSE than what the Jonathan/Sambo administration has delivered in the last three years plus when compared to the MALADMINISTRATION of the Thief'nubu & Fashola administrations in their supposedly excellent flagship state of Lagos.
femicyrus: Op I av noted your case against GMB. In the same spirit that led you into the effort, try and dig into GEJ unbias so that I can weigh the two to see who is really the saint and the real thief
OP has done his bit on General Muhammadu Buhari who has been PRETENDING to be a holier-than-thou saint. Why don't you "dig into GEJ" abi you dey too lazy ni
abacus: I can see, you are really struggling to defend GEJ.. digging up old stuffs? I see your principal is facing bad press lately, SA things, Private jet saga.. In-fact one month one saga (scandal or corruption or petty stealing activities).
For Buhari, all these allegations never substantiate and they will never.
Buhari even asked you all to be fair on him, there is internet and we can research. Take the pain of looking into these allegation you will find out they are lies in the first place..
Na person wey dey spread source-less (abi na sauce-less) rumour na im dey ask another to substantiate wetin im write Chai see HYPOCRISY for this NL
egift: PDP for 15years have kept Nigerian Youths unemployed to keep utilizing them as thugs. So sad.
While the Thief'nubu & Fashola Arewa People's Congress, APC administrations in Lagos for 15 years plus have kept Lagos children out of school and the youths unemployed to keep utilizing them as Area Boys and ready material as political thugs Very sad
PaulJohn1: Still wondering the possibility of first bank starting in 1894. Going by history or myth, the whites brought civilization to Nigeria in the 19th century. If we've been running a banking system since 18th century, does it mean illiterates and cavemen do banking?
I think you should check your understanding of centuries and also note that the Portuguese had links with the Bini Kingdom in the 15th century.....
poseidon12: Hi all. Please let us take correction; I am not aware of any word called LUDICROUS. The correct word is RIDICULOUS. This mistake has happened so many times that many people are accepting the wrong word as the correct one. I was even becoming confused myself. I did not mean to derail.
FYI =>
ludicrous
ˈluːdɪkrəs,ˈljuː-/Submit adjective
so foolish, unreasonable, or out of place as to be amusing.
pascyj: Keep lying to your self.The greed of your politicians is keeping your region underdeveloped. The SE roads are terrible -that's a firsthand fact.
Is this not what I have said Whether APC oh, PDP oh, APGA oh all of them na the same six and half a dozen.
akpanoka: If u understood me, I asked if he didn't train anyone to take over from him. Every great leader grooms a sucessor, whom he has tutored and instilled discipline in. Someone who accepted his philosophy as a way of life. Someone who sees him as a role model.
So Buhari didn't groom any? So he has no faith in us? If he sees us as worthless, does he deserve our vote? If he didn't see us as worthy of being invested in, can we trust him with power?
The Abami Eda, Fela Anikulapo Kuti said as much many decades ago in his Beast of No Nation (BONN) song =>
Make you hear this one [sax responses] War against indiscipline, ee-oh

VolvoS60: ^^^^ You seem to imply that GEJ's 'forced' asset declaration of 2007 is some major achievement on his part. For the avoidance of doubt, let me reiterate:
GEJ declared his assets publicly only because his principal, Yaradua had declared his, and the media pressure on him to follow suit was getting unbearable. If GEJ's public asset declaration of 2007 was voluntary, why has it not been repeated in the last 7 years?
You agree that GEJ followed the example of Yaradua. Why have other elected public officers at the state and LGA levels as well as in the legislative houses not also followed GEJ's example Is it not fair to ask such a question?
Are we not being clueless as a nation to not also put pressure via the media on all these other elected officers to also publicly declare their assets
Do you know if the law requires that it be repeated and if yes, how frequently
all4naija: Why do Nigerian leaders always neglect roads construction. The first thing noticeable in successful countries is the roads. I don't know why we have to look down on road construction. If all the roads in the country are in order the government is halfway into success because they ease commuters stress. I think Nigerian government should take a cue from China.
Really So in China they do not have
- TAP water - free & COMPULSORY nine years of education for ALL their children - adequately equipped & staffed Primary health Clinics and General Hospitals
We are really a clueless lot in this country yet thinking we are so smart hence cow boys take us for a ride posing to inCORRUPTible replacements
2cato: that road is a ritualist den esp that bridge. People were been dragged out of keke marwa and okada every night for pupose of ritual. All the state gov could do was to clear some part of the bush near that bridge only for the problem to continue every day with no hope of respite.
Can the state government not do MORE Is it even the work of the state government to clear bush along the road or that of the LGA
arresa: Nothing has been proven to who? You? You are relevant.
Google shut her down because they had enough facts to justify their actions and besides, she's apologized for her fraudulent acts.
Just in case the poster you responded to missed it and others like him, let me re-post this extract from Linda's message =>
Eldavido1: To understand this I am going to start from the beginning but before that I want to talk about plagiarism. My understanding of plagiarism is when you take someone’s work and republish it verbatim as your own work. I don’t do that. But if I have ever done that in the past then I apologize. It was an oversight.
berem: Eheeeen! My mum told me she passed a female corpse on tuesday at Iyana-Iba on her way to Apapa. There was an offensive odour coming out along the road where people trekked and people passing almost stepped on the corpse that was covered with rice sack. I guess by now,the corpse must have been removed. I hope ritualists haven't come back again on that road o! Xmas is almost around the corner.
Let's blame "clueless" Jonathan, shall we as usual, abi
15 years plus of progreTHIEF administration at the state and LGA level in the "State of Excellence" yet picking up corpses from the road is such a big challenge for those RESPONSIBLE
Lordlexyy: Mr anonimi, you are unequivocally saying in other word that we presently have inherited bad and short sighted leaders at all tiers of government? You must understand that most Nigerians do not reside in their state of origin and as such only sees and feels federal might. Because of this, it become apparent to ask question on areas that directly affects them. I know this news is a bitter pills for you to swallow, knowing your 'over do' support for this administration, i can only imagine you cursing and swearing for the Op under your breath for posting this 'rubbish'. We all can't be blind supporters of the blind. Glad the scale is falling down the eyes of some easterners, who are beginning to realise the fraud and scam that pdp gov't truely is. Somebody just hope people like you who have swore their lives to the pdp project will learn one or two lessons from the thread about the need to forgone personal and sentimental gratification and become more concern about the collective well being of the whole nation. Remember we are all brothers.
I guess the highlighted must be a JOKE from you.
As to my "over do" support for this FEDERAL administration, it is based on the FACT that it has done BETTER compared to previous federal administrations and most, if not all state governors and LGA chairmen as well as the DUBIOUS personalities jostling to replace the Jonathan/Sambo team. If you want to debate this fact let me know.
Nevertheless, if you go through my posts here you will find that I criticise the federal administration & PDP when I deem necessary, including opening threads to that effect.
BTW, what is wrong in highlighting the neglect of their duties by the states and LGAs
nzeBiddle: Why e be say na we carry this man matter for head pass? Why we nor fit task this man on his hordes of failed promises as it concerns the region?
Have you dealt with the "hordes of failed promises" by the state governors and LGA chairmen in the region Did those ones also not make promises and even have BASIC duties to perform? Or does charity no longer begin from home?
Seun: Thanks!!! This is the best thread ever. I really appreciate it!
Oga, na when you bin marry wey you no inform us for NL? Even so tey we hear sey don born pikins sef! Time to update that profile photo if all these "allegations" are true!!!

Vice President Jonathan Bows To Pressure, Declares N.2Billion In Assets
VP Goodluck Jonathan The Vice president Goodluck Jonathan yesterday capitulated to public pressure over the public declaration of his assets as done by his boss, President Umaru Yaradua as he made public his assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau.
The assets which were made public by the senior Special Assistant to the Vice president on Media and Public Affairs, Ima Niboro indicates that the value of the Vice president total assets and cash in banks stands at N295,304,420.
This is about N561, 148,472 less than the assets declare by President Umaru Yar’Adua who declared his total assets to be at the value of N856,452,892.
Mr. Iniboro said the vice president’s decision to make public his assets declaration was to show that ‘there is nothing to hide’.
He added that the vice president is ‘a firm believer in the rule of law and this has guided his conduct in office through the years.
“It is this belief that also guided his position that having declared his assets for a total of seven times, there was no point in going further to publish the declaration” he noted
The vice president’s aide regretted that the position of the vice president not to make public his assets declaration had ‘generated an unfortunate storm, which is not only distractive but also quite unnecessary. We are worried that some newspapers and citizens we hold in high esteem have joined the fray.
“This merely shows that in the affairs of man, there comes a time when even the law must take a second place and the public mood must define our actions. To The Vice president, this is such a time, hence the choice to send you a copy of his declaration for publication” he said.

The vice president house holds utensils including generators, a BMW car valued at N15, 800,000, which he said was a gift; air conditioners, furniture, electronics and kitchen utensils is valued at N41,800,000.
VolvoS60: ^^^^ He declared his assets in 2007 because he had no choice. Yaradua had declared his assets and the press was putting immense pressure on Jonathan to do the same.
It is noteworthy that GEJ has refused to declare his assets publicly since 2007, even going as far as swearing recently on national TV in protest against legitimate public scrutiny of his net worth. What does that say about him?
Please tell us of any other elected official ALIVE who has also declared his assets as GEJ did ALREADY.
Do you know the provisions of the relevant law on REPEAT declaration and how frequently/regularly it should be done
excellence44: chai! why I waste my Mb for this crap na?
another APC propaganda
Nor mind the "internet warriors" o jare. They are simply trying to earn their wages for their assignment of "CONFUSING the minds" of their fellow compatriots with LIES, DISTORTIONS and MISINFORMATION
Demdem: Only eternal fools will accept such. Even during abacha period, there was high level of infrastructural construction that came in ptf projects.
General Muhammadu Buhari already said Abacha was not corrupt now so
barcanista: Ordinarily, one shd vote and go home but because of the perpetual fraud in the system by Mr. Jonathan and his party, the electorates are asked to vote, wait and tweet the results per polling unit. If Mr. Jonathan was a serious President, such extra stress will not be necessary.
You must be talking of Lagos state where the Arewa People's Congress, APC has its poster boy in charge =>
This is a mobile phone video of the announcement of PDP as winners of the Badagry Central Local Government Elections with over 7000 votes. LASIEC Chairman, Justice Adeyinka later announced a different result. The lady speaking in the video is the LASIEC Returning Officer for Badagry Central on Saturday 22nd October, 2011.
Demdem: Will ur shut ur trap. Must jonaadaft administration be corrupt at all? So because obj was corrupt, the otuokpe fool must also be right? Oponu.
Can this be taken as an admission of the fact that GEJ's administration is LESS corrupt than OBJ's, particularly considering the level of infrastructure construction/revival in the past three years or so
egift: Don't even start that one. PDP houses the finest Political Criminals obtainable in the history of human race.
And the Arewa People's Congress, APC is filled with Holier-than-Thou Saints, abi APC=PDP=APC
Meanwhile, you may wish to have this for your reading pleasure or rather to REFLECT upon =>
Aiye, Vigilance, APC! Pius Adesanmi NOV 15, 2013
While still not hitting the pavements of Nigeria to meet with the people and sell any kind of programme and vision, they have been busy struggling to recruit and lap up the political excreta of the PDP. Sometimes they don’t even wait for the excreta to fully come out of the PDP’s anus before they put their lips to it and try to suck it out: damaged and corrupt Governors and Senators ostracized by the PDP have suddenly become top recruitment priority for APC leaders, not the Nigerian people. And these are the same clowns who went to town not too long ago saying that nothing good could ever come out of the PDP. We must therefore ask them: just what is good about these characters that you are so busy recruiting instead of changing the game from the elite paradigm in order to convince Nigerians that you are indeed worthy of being that sought-after and much-desired alternative to the vermin in the PDP?
