HYPOCRISY - Hallmark of Arewa People's Congress, APC since ..........

And yet they call him "clueless". If this is an attempt to make him declare his assets then they have failed woefully.

He declared his assets publicly in 2007 following the example of the late President Yar'Adua.

If I am not mistaken, GEJ remains the only elected officer ALIVE who has declared his assets publicly.

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.

Nigerians can abuse English language for state. Everywhere "hater". No more criticisms in this world. I wonder if that word is in the dictionary for thesame meanings we put to it. If those people were haters, is google also a "hater"? Many of us don't know how much she would have lost in law suit if things went to court. Don't ever pray for someone to feed off your sweat while you eat crumbs.

The issue is most of us are too LAZY to think about how such a thing will be for us PERSONALLY if we are involved and on the RECEIVING end.

Runtown used to write songs for davido until he discovered that he wasn't getting anything from it. Now see where he is. I'm not "hating" cos I visit her site too. But if she's guilty so be it. I. Like her and I think she's hardworking. Will you also call those that are richer than her and yet do not like her "haters"? Example is wizkid and olamide. If she actually did what she was accused of and which google confirmed then its plagiarism or stealing and we know what those that steal are called.

In our dear POTENTIALLY great country, if you steal BIG enough you are honoured, celebrated and even others (including those whom you are stealing from) use you as a "prayer point of contact" for their own "breakthrough".

That is how MENTALLY POOR we are

ola6:
Only God knows what is wrong with these Governors. Right in your state, Innoson produces cars YET you chose to pick a foreign brand. Madness!!!

Absolute madness of CLUELESS people

Meanwhile the youths who are deprived of the LOCAL employment opportunities of such patronage of our vehicle assembly plants will also be celebrating such a CLUELESS move by the daft leaders

No wonder the state governors and LGA chairmen do not bother to provide us the BASICS of modern life such as =>

- TAP water.
- Education for ALL our children.
- good FEEDER roads.
- Adequately equipped & staffed Primary Health Clinics and General Hospitals
- Environmental sanitation & Waste disposal

All these, if done properly will generate further employment for our youths instead of this PROFLIGATE acquisition of WASTING assets

Lucasbalo:
My point is that non of those kleptocrats are worth celebrating. I hope young Nigerians like you and others do the needful, because this politicians are stealing your future for their own personal aggrandizement. There is no reason Nigeria should be a third world country with all the God given wealth. No rational being should support how Nigeria is being run. People should uniformly condemn the leaders for running the country down.

Thanks for putting it so well.

hungryboy:
oga shut up, if i use my money open shop, talk say i wan sell only to girls wetin concern u?,
abi dem force u make u buy the consat?
If the thing too pain u, go start your own broadcast only PDP controlled states channels

That is not the issue.
The issue is how a drug money launderer who forfeited $460,000 in his bank account to the US government and was squatting in Gbenga Daniel's Kresta Laurel office while being fed by Akerele-Bucknor became the richest man in the Southwest

How much is the salary of a governor for eight years

I guess for the clueless supporters who claim that a retired soldier who has run three FAILED presidential campaigns with three Supreme Court challenges handled be Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) is CORRUPTless, nothing spoil.

It matters not that Lagos state, after 15 years of progreTHIEF administration, cannot provide =>

- TAP water
- education for ALL children
- good FEEDER roads
- Light Rail even three years after Toronto photo-op for purchase of metal scrap trains

Mumu X Mumu = Mumu Incorporated

no longer valid

CORRUPTless indeed

aljharem:
Yes power to the people not elites like APC

The HYPOCRISY of the Arewa People's Congress, APC is so putrefying to our body politic

EMANY01:
And talking about the civil war,recognizing the precipitate issues for it,realizing that those issues are still present in the nation today and present a clear and present danger to the continued existence of our Nation.

Very correct. We cannot wish our history away, no matter how bad it seems to us now.

A tree can not survive without its roots.

I am not sure that it is appropriate to put this on the FP......But then that is just me oh.......

thoth:
The same resolve of an enslaved mind unashamedly displaying itself for the world to see, they used African inventions to achieve their dream then why can't we use there inventions to assist in achieving ours ? Why can't we copy their products and use it our own advantage, manufacture it ourselves and tweak it to work for our objectives ?

Any idea when this is going to happen for black Africa as it has happenED for South East Asia

Chylo:
What about this one?

http://www.ajol.info/index.php/tzool/article/view/52080

GEJ paper on "Breeding seasonality and population dynamics of the catfish Schilbe mystus (Schilbeidae) in the Cross River, Nigeria". There are so so many sef. So your arguments are moot.

Nor mind the clueless daft who was expecting to see SCIENTIFIC research articles published in a NEWSPAPER

Since they can no longer attack the Jonathan/Sambo team's performance record as it outshines that of their brightest star in Alausa house they have resorted to clutching at straws only to magnify their state of IGNORAMUS

chiefinalowo:
This is not true sir.
Some of my friends have PhD without teaching in any school.

Thank you o jare.
These Arewa People's Congress, APC "internet warriors" are seriously earning their wages by doing their job of "CONFUSING the minds" of their fellow citizens.

However I feel that some of the comments they have made here is more a reflection of their IGNORANCE than it is of their professional MISCHIEF making assignment

omenka:
Are we now saying the president (possibly)NEVER PUBLISHED ANY ARTICLE when he was in the academia??

Three quick questions for you =>

- What is "the academia"?
- When (date) did Jonathan complete his PhD studies?
- When did he work in "the academia"?

barcanista:
He has no Thesis to his name nor any Academic Article in a Newspaper or even a blog.

Is it in your CLUELESS world that academic articles are published in newspapers What manner of daftnesd

focus7:
This is absurd. Please can we know what strategies they are.

This is a very unnecessary statement from Metuh.

Madawaki01:
The Pdp is so undemocratic...adopting candidates,wth??what happened to having primary elections.,and they will be the first to yab if it were the APC..
We Nigerians should start embracing change,assuming u have been failing an exam since 1999 because of the reading method u adopted,now there is a new method in 2015,will u continue the old method?or won't u try out the new method?..do u knw why lagos is better than most states in Nigeria?..it is because IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN THE HANDS OF THE PDP!!!
#nuffsaid

In your eyes Lagos is better YET it (like most other states) has been unable to address the very BASICS of modern life for its tax-paying resident. These basics include:

- TAP water
- Education for ALL children
- FEEDER roads

Even the Eko Light Rail for which Jakande started work on in 1983 before Buhari overthrew him and locked him in jail has not been delivered despite media hype of visiting Toronto 3 years ago to inspect used, decommissioned trains normally sold as scrap but bought by Fashola at astronomical prices

GenBuhari:
We can start with education in school

Exactly and teaching our HISTORY as well, including the worst atrocities we committed against ourselves such as selling our ancestors as slaves to Arabs and then the whites.

GenBuhari:
Non of the nonstream media not even our own state controlled media since our govt is controlled by the white nations.

Get your news from the internet do your own research in whatever you hear from the mainstream media

Did you not realise that the internet is also controlled by those who created Ebola, according to YOUR conspiracy theory

Basically we need to work harder to verify whether the news we are getting from the mainstream media is the truth

The highlight is the REAL issue.
We are NOT working at all. Look around you and you will realise that ALL that we use is the creation/invention/improvement of these Western countries you rile against so much. That includes the medium on which this discussion platform is made available

Sad, very sad reflection of what OUR values are as a society made up of individuals.
SMH

Gbawe:
Whatever our personal opinions, Fayose must be sworn in as the choice of Ekiti folks. I would suggest that the APC continue to seek clarification as per whether Fayose was disqualified from running as a gubernatorial candidate in the first place. That aside, and assuming it is established Fayose was not legally disqualified from participating in the Ekiti gubernatorial election, Ayo Fayose should have his four years term and Ekiti folks in turn should be led by the person the majority cast their vote for.

Well spoken....we should learn to follow the LAW even when it does not favour us TEMPORARILY because a time will come when we will also need the law's protection.
We have been un-evolved in the JUNGLE for far too long

GenBuhari:
Stop getting your news from the white man / western source like BBC, /CNN /Fox News etc.

So where should we get our news from
Al Jazeera with its Arab/Muslim point of view? Those who BOUGHT Africans as slaves and CONTINUE to keep us as slaves

iJAY1:
forgive me but you sound stu-pid. Am no supporter of Buhari but it's rather sickening how your likes won't let us have a healthy and educative political discussion without mentioning buhari, gej, atiku, kwankwanweed etc.
To prove your stu-pidity, here are ways he differ:
1) age (far older)
2) current position (not a leader)
3) ability to win ( <30%)
4) nationality (Nigerian)
5) ideology (different)
6) he's an ex-military fellow
etc.
@internet soldiers, leave certain interesting threads alone!

Thank you for your list.
Did you see the two words I highlighted in my post If you skipped them for whatever reason I will advise you to check to not disgrace yourself further

barcanista:
If he is toppled, it is a good news to the World and a victory to democratic struggle.

#NorthKoreaMustBeFree

Please tell us how DICTATOR Buhari is different from the North Korean dictator

I am wondering how a reasonable Nigerian will wish freedom & democracy for North Koreans while selling us back into chains

thewarrior72:
Sorry Is erasa eko Ile?

Yes oh......check out his profile

https://www.nairaland.com/aresa

He has also used agbameta agbayameta & plaindealer accounts before.

agbameta:
Again, what's your dumb and reetarded nonsense got to do with what I said?


I know you are a village dullard, but must you prove it all the time?



Stop wasting my time if you have nothing better to contribute to the discussion.

Anyways, back to topic.... This clown is dulling my hand as usual.

barcanista:
BTW: USA Allies Saudi, Middle Eastern States etc are under Sharia and the US is still working closely with them. RESPECT people's decision

You should know it is because of their crude oil.
Nor be GROUNDNUT oil oh

When I posted the below comment a few days ago, some called me names as usual =>

anonimi:
Including General Muhammadu Buhari who CLUELESSLY encouraged importation of cheap & cheerful "essential commodities" such as =>

- Milk
- Sugar
- Salt
- Rice
- Vegetable oil
- etc

then referred to as "Essenco" through the Nigerian National Supply Company, NNSC making a few soldiers very rich overnight but only for a moment while KILLING off our =>

* Farmers
** Agro-allied industries
*** related JOBS for our teeming YOUTHS


for decades.

Such was the legacy of the cold blooded murderer.

Has this part of the COUP speech by another former military DICTATOR the "Evil Genius", Maradona not validated my post

1. A decrease of our domestic production, while our population continues to increase.


2. Dependence on import for both consumer goods and raw materials for our industries.

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola

January 9, 2013


https://www.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/LIGHTRAIL-360x250.jpg


L-R: Lagos State Deputy Governor, Mrs. Joke Orelope-Adefulire; Managing Director, Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Mr. Dayo Mobereola; Governor Babatunde Fashola; and Managing Director, China Civil Engeneering Construction Corporation, Mr. Shi Hong Bing, during an inspection of the light rail project in Lagos ... on Tuesday


The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the lrail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.


Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

Fashola also explained that the factors that necessitated the slow pace of work in Ago Palace Way, Okota, Isolo had been removed as owners of properties on right-of-way, who went to courts to stop the government from demolishing their properties, had agreed to an out-of-court settlement.

Fashola assured the residents that with the owners agreeing to accept compensation from the government, the pace of road construction in the area would be faster.

He said, “The community has grown, so we have to expand the road. At Ago Palace Way, some of the properties needed to give way; everybody wants good road, but nobody wants it to pass through his house, so some of the owners took us to court. But we have settled out of court and we need to pay compensation.

“These are the things that residents do not see. I have heard complaints that the work is slow; some say the contractor has left; but the reason is that a citizen took us to court.”

He said works would be accelerated to complete the expansion of the road expected to serve as a link between Okota and Festac areas.
