okotv: thanks ma'am

Is the OP a woman?
Thanks OP

edimat007: is he HIGH or incredibly STUP****D?

Technically speaking is it not possible to be both, particularly in the case of someone who speaks from BOTH sides of his big mouth such as the subject of this thread

Rikidony: What did we gain during ECOMOG RATHER THAN INSULT FROM THOSE COUNTRIES CITIZENS. FG SHOULD ALLOW THOSE COUNTRIES SOLVE THEIR ISSUES

If we don't help them don't we risk having their people "smuggle" the Ebola to us as Sawyer did

OrlandoOwoh: I've always noticed your moves, you won't succeed. You and I know what I mean. Don't even try quoting me, you won't get a reply.

You say someone is a Christian I show you proof that he is a Muslim then you start singing keneri about moves and success.
Rather than refuting what I said with better proof.

Na wah for una Arewa People's Congress, APC sympathisers oh

Gbawe: Doing as you say is the only way to advance a common sense and pragmatic take on issues. Whatever some feel Tinubu is guitly of does not nullify his message about the much more damaging failings of the FG covering all States of our nation and affecting every man, woman and child.

I can agree with you that Thief'nubu is also a failure.
That is the end of our agreement as it should be obvious to anyone that Thief'nubu & Co is a GREATER failure in Lagos having amassed some N300 billion debts despite raking in N240 billion IGR from the pockets, wallets, bags and handbags of Lagos residents without providing the BASICS of modern life that you & your family take for granted in the UK where you are hiding along with so many other Lagosians. Basic things like =>

- TAP water
- Primary, VOCATIONAL, secondary and TECHNICAL schools for ALL our children (despite receiving N6 billion [6,411,340,578.18] from the federal administration's UBEC for this purpose)
- FEEDER roads under state & LGA constitutional responsibility

Meanwhile the Jonathan/Sambo federal administration has increased our Excess Crude Account (ECA) by over 10 times from $400 million in September 2010 to $4 billion in August 2014 despite more transparent distribution to other tiers of government i.e. states & LGAs as well as in the face of sometimes dwindling oil revenue. This is an administration whose THOUGHTFUL approach to addressing our decades of rot is beginning to yield manifest fruits in several areas including:

- federal roads
- railways
- steel
- agriculture
- territorial defence against TERRORISM
- federal universities

Slowly but surely many more will realise the stark difference beyond the PROPAGANDA noise of those who do not wish us well.

BTW, I see you have returned to the use of red fonts after joining others to abuse me for doing the same.

HYPOCRISY=APC=HYPOCRISY

OrlandoOwoh: If Fashola turns out to be a christian, as the OP said his friend said, I will be happy. Not because I hate muslims (read my history here for proof), but because he could become the vice presidential candidate of APC; thereby allaying the fear of muslim/muslim ticket in 2015.

Why do you guys like to embark on wishful thinking trips.
Fashola is a certified Muslim and Alhaji who goes to Mecca TWICE (Lesser Hajj and Hajj) a year with Lagos tax payers' money =>

Onegai: Business owners, this is for you:

I believe the worst thing for a business owner is to have the "Boss Mentality". That means constantly thinking you're better than your employees, which is wrong, you're as good as your employees, not better. A leader must be as good as his followers, but be accesible: Christ came to earth and didn't come and sit on a physical throne. So, respect your workers and their input. Work harder than them and work beside them, listen to them. Listen to your customers, don't assume YOU KNOW ALL THEY WANT.

Get an accountant. I'm serious. Earning N5mil per annum in a business IS NOT A PROFIT unless it is N5million after all expenses used to run the business have been paid off.

As a business owner, you have to invest in your business. Constantly look for ways to do things more efficiently.

Does your business run on offering a service? Then let me say this to you:

UPGRADE THE QUALITY OF YOUR SERVICES

Over 70% of services offered in Nigeria are mediocre. Case in point, I don't believe we have good carpenters in Lagos, their workmanship is so shoddy, so I will never pay fullprice for one. Tailors are beginning to smarten up and do quality work (and charge premium): my friend goes from Festac to Agungi to meet a tailor that sews beautifully, finishes the fabric neatly and never disappoints.

So offer a quality service, not noise and no content.

Many of our jobless "graduates" need to find their ways to vocational schools & technical colleges or some workshop to learn skills they can work with rather than wait for some uncle, auntie, extended relation, neighbor etc to "bless" them from what they have stolen "on their behalf" therefore depriving us of =>

- electricity,
- TAP water,
- free education for ALL our children,
- free primary health,
- good roads etc

and making all of us the SCUMS of the earth

boygeorge: As a mark of appreciation to their dedication to service as well as to the nation, President Goodluck Jonathan has directed the Minister of FCT Senator Bala Mohammed to give out flats in Abuja to Traffic Warden Solomon Dauda, Taxi driver Imeh Usuah, as well as head of the Presidential stewards Onuh Isaac Micheal.

He has also directed the Secretary to the Federal Government to immediately place Pa Micheal Taiwo Akinkunmi (designer of the Nigerian flag) on a salary scale of Special Assistant to the President for life.

In his closing remarks at the presentation of national awards to over 300 Nigerians, President Jonathan commended the honorees and urged them to see their honour as recognition of their service to the nation.

I still can't find where in this OP it says so many houseS are to be given to the steward.
Can anyone please point that out Or the Mods should change the title accordingly.
Thanks.

You need to remember the saying that:

He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.

arresa: Of course has to deal with other arms of government to have lows passed and legislation moved, but this is not our immediate problem.

We know he wont be surrounding himself with criminals, convicts, and fugitives, he wont be hiring crooks and criminals under EFCC investigation, he wont be protecting crooks and incompetent people and giving them National awards...

The problem starts with the president and chief law enforcement officer and the tone he sets. It' starts with the kind of people he appoints to head government agencies and law enforcement like the EFCC, IG police, police commission, port authority, pensions board where they loot funds everyday and so on..

GEJ proved beyond any kind of doubts that he is comfortable and feels very much at home with crooks, criminals, convicts and international fugitives. If you are a crook under EFCC investigation today, join GEJ's party or make friend with him and you are off the hook, no more EFCC charges.

Again, leadership sets the tone. It's all about the atmosphere the leadership creates and GEJ in front of Nigerians and the rest of the world created a very corrupt and incompetent atmosphere which emboldens crooks in his government and circle to loot openly unchallenged.

All these coming from someone whose Patron Saint and paymaster is a drug money launderer who forfeited $460,000 bank account balance to US authorities to pay off his crime
What manner of HYPOCRISY

BTW, you should ask your JagaBandit who sold RibaduN's ACN votes in the south west + Edo for a plate of porridge in Aso Rock in 2011
Yeye dey smell!!!

didadavid: Still trying to fool us abi, try harder abeg

This god of men & his team need to listen to the lyrics of an old reggae song:

When you put your hand in a lion's mouth
No need to jump & jump
Cos the more you jump, the more you push it in.

He should be preparing how to enjoy his time in prison as Rev. King is doing after causing the death of his female church member through burns.

neyobills: Even if Fayose loses in court there is no way in hell APC will still be in the govt house cum Oct 17th so I guess we should rather appeal to the APC to hold their horses and stop getting high on this court case so they can allow the law to take its rightful place.

Are you in anyway suggesting that the Arewa People's Congress, APC is a bunch of autocratic, lawless people that are more prone to dictatorial tendencies than democratic ways

kenex4ever: Femi falana is now d official APC lawyer, judiciary is no longer a neutral body

Anyone who has not, should watch Femi Falana's contribution to the Town Hall debate on fuel subsidy removal to note his body language.
It may be available on ChannelsTV or YouTube still.

IbokUtoroh: the recall is it done by the president, the house or the electorates?
answer is the electorates in the person's constituency. the nass member may be harsh in the house but at home he is a jolly good fellow so hw will they recall him back? bros the only avenue to end corruption is by NASS to pass a bill just like antigay bill n the president sign into law. strengthen the agencies that will try all corrupt cases, then also make judiciary to be independent. corruption will slowly be wipe out, outside these na WASH! do u knw befor u bid for contracts in nigeria u must rub the officials palm, else nothng for u. u might think its bad but u shud also knw that we hae million other more qualified people who can do the same job in the country, so all these avenues where corruption thrives will be hardly dealt wif. all these the president may not knw but it is happening everwhere!

Thank you for educating many of us who like to pretend that we have no power as the electorate/citizens.

Africa does not need great men, it needs great INSTITUTIONS - Barrack Hussein Obama, POTUS

aljharem: When Gani was beaten by APC Tinubu thugs likes of gbawe could not talk.

Rubbish

It is called Living in Denial

@ Goddex,

Many thanks for the pictures.

solid3: Hey mister, can you point out one freaking attractive thing about that?

You obviously do not understand the meaning of the word ATTRACTIVE.
Try and understand its meaning first before embarrassing yourself further.

#Friendly_Advice

Gabbysky: God Bless you My Amiable President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. May God bless and keep you. Can't believe I actually did Lagos to Portharcourt in 5 hours, I mean just 5 hours.
Can't wait for you to come and commission the Oshodi/Apapa Expresswas in Lagos and rename it "GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN EXPRESSWAY".

2015 is so sure for you Sir, Confirmed!! No ant in apc can try you

The highlighted is very unnecessary even if understandable in the light of the FACT that previous federal administrations have largely abandoned doing their job which the Jonathan/Sambo team is gradually rectifying.

We need to AVOID any semblance of personality cult. He is simply doing his job.
No more, no less.
We should encourage our state governors and LGA chairmen to buckle up and do their job as well..

Let Jonathan decides IF he wants to run again next year, do his second term IF he wins and get out of Abuja so his performance can be duly assessed while someone else takes over from him.

President Goodluck Jonathan, weekend in Benin, Edo State, commissioned the Phase I of the Benin-Ofusu-Ore Road, with a promise to ensure that the next phase to Lagos was completed soon.

“We have intervened in a number of highways and we must fix the roads. We are committed. We must return our roads to class A roads across the country,” he said.

He promised that his administration was also focussing on rail and aviation, adding that the Federal Government decided to set up a Maritime University to train Nigerians in that sector.

On his part, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, described the Federal Government’s effort in reconstructing the road as [size=14pt]“the most outstanding intervention the road has witnessed over the years.[/size]

“What we are seeing is the outcome of a meticulous design and the appointment of a competent contractor,” Oshiomhole said, describing the Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen, as an architect that not only designs but one that translates his designs into reality.

He said that the road was central to the economic life of the people of Edo and the entire South-South, adding that it would attract investment to the state.

“In Edo, the people belong to a bigger party, the Federal Republic of Nigeria party. This is why you will see people decamping from left to right, right to left but no one can decamp from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. That’s what unites us,” he said.

Earlier, the Minister of Works, Onolememen, said that the Phase I of the project was 75 km long and that Phase II suffered a setback because of funding and technical challenges.

He said the project has, however, recorded over 60 percent completion, adding that 61 other roads have been completed across the country.

****************************************

It is quite encouraging to note Oshiomole acknowledge the good works of the Jonathan/Sambo federal administration despite their political differences.

Dannyset: Employment all over d place in Nigeria....God ur favour is all I ask for.

And these are mainly from the Jonathan/Sambo federal administration socio-economic policy initiatives in the

- electricity,
- automobile,
- steel,
- railways,
- roads
-- agricultural

sectors. And one should not forget direct job vacancies in federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

When will our state governors and LGA chairmen also wake up to complement these laudable efforts of the federal government

Has anyone heard of any state government or LGA doing REGULAR annual recruitment of teachers and doctors, nurses, town planners, WATER Corporation engineers, building plan monitors, sanitation inspectors, street sweepers etc in line with their constitutional RESPONSIBILITIES

dayocash: Non of the parties form is cheap. APC=#27.5m , and PDP= #22m. Is there any difference?

Yes, 5.5m is the difference.
Is it that you are=>

- too rich to ignore the difference.
- too dull to understand the arithmetic

ayindejimmy: Lemme share one general philosophy wit u. We r merely choosin d bad candidates among d worsts.

We are both on the same page for the above.
I have said that APC=PDP=APC.
My main grouse is the bloody PRETENCE of being saints by the smart crooks in APC.

My point is dat PDP has d advantage of incumbency. Ok Tinubu owns TVC bt only NTA has national coverage. And d presidnt Gej has d rite to Tv coverage nationwide by NTA. Which he's religiously utilizin.

I thought APC has almost half of the governors of the 36 states.
Don't they have state TV stations that are probably even more modern with total wider coverage than NTA plus Tinubu's TVC and there is his Nation newspaper, Osun Defender and other state newspapers and radio stations not so

BTW, Jonathan does not have the RIGHT to monopolise TV coverage. I don't believe the relevant electoral laws give him such right. However since APC is keen to monopolise at their own level they have no moral ground to accuse PDP of doing the same.

berem: Hotels everywhere! My question is who are those lodging in all these hotels?

Kidnappers maybe

ayindejimmy: i wuld av replied u wit facts bt sinc u'v taken d path of insults rada dan criticism i'l leav u 2 uself.
I wnt stoop 2 ur level

Okay, Oga Ayindejimmy I am very sorry for the unintended insults, it simply shows how alarmed I am at the way the PRETENCE of these looters is getting to so many people.

I hope you will counter with FACTS, now that I have apologized, so we all increase our knowledge of what is going on around us.
Cheers.

ayindejimmy: u r makin a mistake.
PDP is wealthier than APC. They enjoy support 4rm d countless corupt billioniare that Gej has made in d past 5 yrs.

I thought your cluelessness was simply a flash in the pan but I was mistaken as it seems well embedded and ingrained.
So your "Saint" Buhari did not make "countless corrupt billionaires" as =>

- Military governor
- Petroleum Minister under whose watch $2.8 billion went missing
- Military DICTATOR Head of State
- Abacha's henchman at PTDF

Do u knw hw much Gej paid other candidate to step down?

I don't so please tell me, Mr. Insider

NTA and Fed. Radios will air his ads. Free but APC will av 2 pay their way thru evrytin.

And APC does not have so many states under its control as well as LGAs with radio and TV stations as well as newspapers that it will also monopolise as it has done in previous elections

APC wil depend more on contributns 4rm common Njas like u and i

Abeg count me out of your foolishness, why would I support a MORE corrupt bunch of PRETENDERS whose track record is filled with =>

- Sorrows
- Tears and
- Blood

when I nor dey craze

ayindejimmy: i knw many common Njas dat will be willing to contribute to the candidacy of Buhari.

How "many common Nigerians" do you really know who "will be willing to contribute to the candidacy of Buhari"

- 50
- 100
- 250
- 1000

Do you know if these were the same "common Nigerians" who contributed to his three very expensive FAILED attempts in the past?
It seems there are many jokers on parade this Sunday


https://www.clipartbest.com/cliparts/dT6/e7A/dT6e7AEac.png

ayindejimmy: Politics everywhere is big biz. If u aint wealthy u got to av sponsors, else u av no biz in politics. And at the national level its bigger biz. Gej paid 22m 4 his form in PDP.

So PDP form is even cheaper than APC's own.
Yet the serial losers will claim they are for the poor people and progressive
Anyway they have many dafties and clueless people following them like cattle dey follow Fulani

Chinom: People who know nothing about Naija politics will always bring United states in the discussion. Nigeria is NOT USA. Sponsorship in Nigeria is loaded. Not in the polished way it's done in the US, but crudely loaded in Nigeria. A sitting governor was kidnapped from the statehouse because of sponsorship. Ngige is still traumatised till today . Mbadinuju's life was made a hell by Sir Emeka Offor.

The Buhari i know will not accept that sort of sponsorship. The man says he still lives in a rented house for christs sake. Atiku and Tinubu just want to scheme him out.

How do you know Buhari, if we may ask

The same Buhari who worked for Abacha and said his junior-turned-boss did not steal our money
Or the one who collected money from the same Abacha's son for CPC launch on the promise of Kano state ticket =>

Abacha's Son Picks Kano CPC Ticket
16 Jan 2011

Racing to beat the deadline given to political parties by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the national headquarters of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) yesterday made last minute effort to settle the controversy rocking the party’s gubernatorial primaries in Kano State with a voting exercise, which saw Mohammed Abacha, son of late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, leading with 144, 066 votes.


According to Professor Mohammed Dahiru Suleiman, the chairman of the Committee charged with the conduct of the gubernatorial primary, Abacha scored 144,066, to defeat other three contestants.


Briefing journalists on the outcome of the party `s gubernatorial primary, in Kano, he said Ja`faru Isa, former military administrator of Kaduna State, came second with 78,671 votes.


He also disclosed that, Sani Hanga, immediate past national chairman of the party, secured 45,618 votes, Auwalu Anwar, got 30,410, while, Magaji Abdullahi, former deputy-governor polled 5,795.


Suleiman explained that the results were those received from 21 out the 44 Local Government Areas, in the state, which show that Mohammed Abacha, led in the contest.


He however disclosed that, the result of the 23 local government areas, were not reflected in the released result, as it was characterised by some irregularities.


Suleiman pointed out that as a result of this development, the Committee had resolved to transfer the ratification and official announcement of the final result to the national headquarters of the party, in Abuja.


“On behalf of myself and the other members of the Committee set up by the national leadership of our party, I will like to inform you (gentlemen of the press) that the result in our possession so far, indicates that Mohammed Abacha scored 144,066.


“Jar`faru Isa 78,671, votes; Sani Hanga, 45,618; Anwalu Anwar, 30,410; and Magaji Abdullahi 5,795. This result was what was collated from 21 out of the 44 Local Government Areas of the state.


“In the course of collation of the votes, we noted that the result brought from the remaining 23 Local Government Areas, were characterised by some hitches and irregularities, based on this we have resolved to refer the announcement of the final to national headquarters in Abuja” he said

So much for the PRETENCE of being anti-CORRUPTION

When someone is IGNORANT about a subject matter but chooses to swagger like a knowledgeable fellow, is that not the zenith of CLUELESSNESS

chrisbaba1: [size=13pt]Have you heard of sponsorship? ? Obama was sponsored all through so its not a hard thing.

Friends who support can make donations, that is how fresh politicians foot huge campaign costs[/size]

So Buhari who has had three FAILED campaigns to be President and three Supreme Court cases with very expensive Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SAN lawyers is being sold to us as a 'fresh politician'

Kindly note that if you have chosen to be a clueless daft don't expect us to follow your foolish example

presido1: Corrupt free people or people that kept Nigeria down.

Abeg helep me ask the correct question o jare.
Make his donors declare their Personal Income Tax returns for the last three years.

In short, APC=PDP=APC

arresa: Obviously, he's felling emboldened, untouchable and invisible because Ekiti people voted for him even with his lawless, criminal and impeachment past.

The highlighted admission of Fayose's victory from the people and Fayemi's loss at the polls is duly noted.

hercules07: Your president controls 56% of everything, that is why his name is shouted, let him devolve powers to the state and stop interfering, people will crucify their governors.

56% including for the INDEPENDENT federal chambers of SINators and representaTHIEVES who gulp 25% (according to ex-CBN Governor, Emir Sanusi) and being responsible for the -

- Police
- Prisons
- Immigration
- Customs
- Embassies & Foreign Affairs
- Army
- Navy
- Air Force
- Intelligence Services
- Federal Universities

Do you realise that [just as one example] Lagos budget of about N500 billion is 10% that of the federal at N5 trillion for federal activities/presence in 36 states plus all the above constitutional responsibilities

Can you please explain how our constitution [NOT the President as he has no such powers] should devolve further power to the states and LGAs beyond what they currently have, receive monthly allocations from Abuja for YET do almost NOTHING?

Looking forward to your response.
