Akpabio over Fashola?

We sure have a lot of bastards in Yorubaland...

MudRaker:
Most of you complaining about the total number of aircraft operated by the Presidential Air Fleet are ignorant on who expandede the fleet to its current capacity.

Buhari confiscated executive jets purchased by NNPC, NITEL, NEPA and NPA and commandeered them into the presidential fleet.

Prior to this the Presidential air fleet had only 3 aircrafts during the Sagari era.

Those jets were at the disposal of Buhari and Idiagbon only.

Why do you people make up rubbish?

Of course, insult, abuse and violent language are not atypical of Buhari supporters.

You have zero moral authority to talk about insults after insulting other people, trashing and discounting their education and life time accomplishments..

omenka:
How can one be a mediocrity. Some of you just see words on nairaland and decide to use them without even looking up their definition and usage.

So appalling.

Very sad and shameful...

Of course, insulting and abusing people is the hallmark of Buhari apologists. Go through Nairaland posts you will find that they are those that are more likely to cross another person's post. You tend to lack the intellectual capacity to engage in arguments. That's why it is disgusting. Your Buhari is just average. We have had very highly intelligent military officers in this country. Buhari is never one of them. He is in no way a dunce. Nope. it will be most uncharitable to describe him as one. But he is not an intelligent officer. Not at the level of Abubakar Umar or even Lawan Gwadabe when it comes to intelligence.

I've read enough of your garbage and it's getting more and more stale, shallow, ignorant and disgusting.

I repeat, Buhari did not go to US War College because he was exceptional. Buhari went there because NA sent him there. And of course, even civillans go there. No big deal. He has never done any exceptional school. Chinua Achebe attended University of Ibadan. Many less than average students were also there. So, that these guys you mentioned were there does not in any way prove how exceptional Buhari was as a soldier. Buhari is on there website as a famous graduate because he was a Nigerian Head of State. Without that, he would not have been there as a famous graduate. Sani Abacha is also a famous graduate of Aldershot.

The best corps of Nigerian British and Nigerian soldiers in Buhari's time were trained in Sandhurst. When NA was NA, those trained in Sandhurst were the elites. They talked and walked with a unique swagger. Buhari was trained in Aldershot. Again, while I will not downplay the training he got at Aldershot, I do not see the reason for noise about going there because it was the second rate Nigerian soldiers that were sent there. On the US Army College, Buhari was sent there for leadership training which is the norm for people of his rank in the military--even if the person was the worst of olodo. It is not as if he was there because he was exceptional. he was there because he had to be there and Nigeria had to send him there. It is just like attending our own National Institute of Strategic Studies. Once you get to a certain rank in the civil service (I think Director) or Police (Commissioner of Police), you attend courses at NISS. It is done to prepare you for higher office. It doesn't mean you are exceptional, it only means you got what is due to you.

Stop trying to convince me that Buhari graduating from the finest military institution where the finest military men in the world graduated from including US presidents and reputable generals like Powell, Patton, Norman Schwarzkopf, Ulysses Grant and Dwight Eisenhower graduated from was olodo school.


ranker.com

The pic below came from ranker.com and Buhari is 6th on the list of their famous US War College alumni with Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf.

Do you mind showing us similar olodo in your country recognized on the same website..?

You need to keep your rubbish to yourself...

[s]I hope you know that with your money you can do a programme in Harvard no matter how intelligent or unintelligent you are. For instance,Orji Kalu was in Harvard and he has some top business people who 'graduated' from an executive programme with him there. But yoAnd it is not true that 'it is more like a masters graduate programme'. Nope. For a programme to be like a masters programme it has to be accredited to be so. Even Buhari cannot claim to have obtained a military 'masters graduate programme'. It's like saying that anybody who attended our own NDA did their bachelor or graduate programme. There are many programmes offered in a school. It depends on what you did there.

So, don't ascribe to the General what he can't ascribe to himself. That is one mistake you people brushing up his image do.

[/s]

I'm not interested in your made up and irrelevant mombo jumbo.

Buhari studied at some of the finest institutions in the world where top military generals around the world graduated from with world renowned alumnus and I don't think some zoo program in the delta is on the same scale of higher and prestigious learning...

End of story...

I know English is difficult for most of you folks on nairaland.

I never said anything was a necessity. I said it was predictable an has nothing to do with ego.

What do you expect him to do? , roll over and let Ukraine join NATO?

^^^^ Your above statement has nothing to do with predictability, it was more like a necessary action to avoid rolling over and letting Ukraine join nato.

Looks like you are incapable of comprehending your own words...

Missy89:
Please keep quiet.

Saying Putin's policies are regards Ukraine was based on his ego is a direct line straight out of the MSM. What do you expect him to do? , roll over and let Ukraine join NATO? kick out his black sea base? or allow Ukraine to sign an economic agreement which would allow the EU to dump their goods in Russia throu Ukraine taking advantage of the duty free agreement of the CIS?

He is even a moderate considering the fact that he hasn't overtly occupied Eastern Ukraine already.

You are entitled to your views and opinions same just like the poster you tried to denigrate. But saying his opinion was media propaganda was thoughtless and reckless.

It's easy to say your rant about Russia's need to invade and terrorise her less powerful neighbors was a necessity based on the reasons you stated was Russian media propaganda.

Stick to your opinion and let others stick to theirs..

nairalife2013:
great master? A great master is known not by his power to give order but by the number of followers who are ready to execute his order. He doesnt even command a good following in his domain let alone around the globe.
Hahaha from ussr to just russia. Them dong start again to provoke america abi? Ok . The next thing that will hit them: rusSIA will become SIA. Instead of solidifying the foundations of thier sovereign unity(whatever remnants is left of it) they are busy making AND remaking enemies with the west without watching thier back. Well, mugu fall guy wack. make dem continue...

Putin is flexing and doing gra gra all over the place, but the only thing US is doing is dishing out little little sanctions and this alone crippled Russia's economy. What happens with full blown sanctions?

So, who is feeling the pain? American people or Russian people.. Chess master ko, ludo master ni...smh..

Sibabasibaba1:
Jonathan's thesis is already in the public domain. Anybody desirous of seeing it should go to the department of zoology, UNIPORT. Only when the person goes there and does not see it can the person question the thesis.

When Jonathan left the academia, publishing articles online was not in vogue. Besides, you have to understand that his background in the academia emphasises teaching rather than research. if he started out as a university lecturer, I am sure he would have focused more on research. Having said that, someone posted sometime ago links to a couple of articles co-authored by Jonathan. The argument by the anti-Jonathans that day shifted to 'he was not the corresponding author' as if being a corresponding author is an indication that the person did the most work.


While I will not in any way downplay Buhari's military courses, they are no big deal about it. Every military officer attends those short service courses when they are due--unless they are being punished or victimised. Nigerian Army send their personnel to such courses always. They are no degree awarding institutions and Buhari never got any degree from those institutions. You don't need to be brilliant to be an army general, especially when merit and professionalism left the Nigerian Army in 1966. Any average person in terms of intellectual capacity can be an army major general. We have a system where attaining that position mostly comes via years of service and rarely via accomplishments.


But PhD in any shape or form, comes through a level of theoretically/intellectually rigorous research.

Unfortunately for you and the illiterate PDP clown. The US Army war college is a prestigious military institution where they train the finest military men like Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf, Ulysses Grant and Dwight Eisenhower and it is a big deal and honor to attend and graduate from. It's not where you send your rinky dinky army man for short training. It's more like a Masters graduate program for serious military men around the world.

SirShymex:
Lol. The only sane and knowledge poster on the thread who understands what is going on.

The US is trying to kill two birds with one stone - make Russia crumble with Europe - but it is going to be at the receiving end when it is all said and done. Hence Putin still remains the favourite to win on the long run.

Deflation has hit the Eurozone and it is only going to get worse. Just be on the look out for Germany. But Russia has China to fall back on to turn the tide - the Chinese offer of trading in Yuan and currency swap is the holy grail. Putin will outsmart them again lol.

Crumbling economy and depending on another country for survival is the new definition for smartness these days...

Is a crumbling economy, bailing out banks and depending on another country for survival not failure and obvious doom?

Wonders shall never end...?

Missy89:
So according to you Putin's decisions as regards Ukraine is based on his ego? yes or no?

That was his personal opinion and you can not discount other people's observations and opinions and at the same time label them media propaganda. That was a cheap shot unless you have your own better opinion and views to counter his..

This is serious beating to death... This illiterate PDP professor don suffer...

Missy89:
For someone that claims that media house are biased yet spewing their propaganda.
Putin's action has nothing to do with his ego. Any sane Russian leader would do the same to protect Russian interest.

What you highlighted has nothing to do with the media or propaganda.

SirShymex:
Lol, Obama just disgraced black men and black skin worldwide, with this statement. Why didn't someone give him the teleprompter? Obama, stop it - your sanctions aren't working.

Saudi Arabia's manipulation of oil prices to destroy the fracking market, coupled with the doofus in-charge of the Russian central bank, and stock market(Wall Street and London) manipulations threw the Tsunami at the Ruble, not your sanctions. Expected cos the Russian economy isn't that diversified. However, I believe they'll start the diversification drive now.

Err, how can Obama in one breath say, "Sanctions have never worked and will never work against little Cuba" and in the next one assert that, "sanctions are biting Russia?" C'mon Obama, rep us better, my nyggah and big brother. We love you!

Putin is still the master of chess - I can't wait to see his next move. Learning from the great Messr Putin!

Putin's banks are going bankrupt and he's bailing them out

Russians are buying everything off the shelves while anticipating the pains and misery heading their way

The rubble is in the dumps with 45% loss

Russia is begging China for money to stay afloat

Russia's economy have lost over $100 billion and is still losing

You and putin are on a long long tin.

waternogeteneny:
Buhari is a religious Bigot.

Is Buhari the bigot why our economy is in the dumps?

Is Buhari the bigot the reason why GEJ is incompetent

Is Buhari the bigot the reason GEJ's administration is the most corrupt and incompetent?

Is Buhari the bigot why our $10 billion remains missing and also why GEJ refused to look for that money or demand accountability from the crooks involved?

Is Buhari the bigot the reason why the PDP gave us $20 billion worth of darkness?

Is Buhari the bigot the reason why GEJ and his cronies scammed us with the $500 million China Loan) Abuja obsolete CCTV toys?

Is Buhari the bigot the reason why GEJ's appointments crooked and corrupt people under EFCC investigation?

Is Buhari the bigot the reason why our police colleges are rotten?

Is Buhari the bigot the reason why our military are poorly equipped and badly demoralized?

Is Buhari the bigot the reason why GEJ took off to Kano to dance skelewu less than 24 hours after scores of Nigerians died in a bomb blast?

Is Buhari the bigot the reason why GEJ refused to acknowledge that hundreds of our school girls were kidnapped by terrorists and also refused to rescue them, refused to visit their towns and villages and even their parents?


You can not sweep away glaring GEJ's failure and inadequacies by blaming other Nigerians. We did not elect Buhari the bigot to solve our problems, we elected GEJ.


GEJ rushes to claim credit for any perceived good so he should be able to take responsibility for the bad under his watch..

The buck stops with GEJ and not Buhari that Nigerians did't elect or pay to take care of us..

oziegbe2015:
So much for issue based campaign. If apc start replying and saying gej doesnt have a child of his own except for adpoted fowls what would they say. Pdp has been in power for 16yrs is there no achievements to point at. Govt is about ur conciense and will to serve, this man deputy has credentials gej and sambo combined cant match. What has the phd holder done for 6yrs in all ramification

They are doing the same thing they've been doing for the past 6 years.

Instead of sitting down, concentrating and finding solutions to own problems, all they've been doing is worrying about their made up enemies, attacking Nigerian, attacking the opposition, raiding opposition offices and data centers, attacking and insulting the legislature..

They spend more time insulting and abusing Nigerians than they spend on the problems we elect them to address...

They can not do better than their same shameful and absurd ways that has nothing to do with the average Nigerian daily realities..

We are definitely not giving you 4 more years of failure, incompetence, corruption, division, attacks and insults..

That caught my eyes...

2015 Elections: PDP Leadership Reiterates Commitment to Issue-based Campaign


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national leadership, has reiterated the party`s commitment to issue-based campaign devoid of statements capable of inflaming passions and overheating the polity ahead of 2015 general elections.


It added that the 2015 general elections must therefore be based on performance, political ideology, manifestoes and agenda for national development not on propaganda and counter accusations that heat up the system


News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)

They know they can not win this election based on the issues on the table simply because they've failed Nigerians across the board hence the political thuggery and character assassination...

Obviously, the deceptive liars can not observed their own proclamation and self advise...

With all the problems we have facing us as Nation, insults and abuse is the only solution they have...

How do you even consider them for another term in office? smh...

Onyiridike:
I am NOT a fan of GEJ. However, it baffles me tremendously that no party in Nigeria has come up with a better alternative. When APC come up with their usual chorus 'CHANGE!!!', I always ask them:

1. What sort of change and in what direction?

Falsehood is the greatest crime against humanity especially if such lies are meant for public consumption.

Obviously, some of our major challenges as a Nation-State are:

1. Unemployment

2. Epileptic power supply

3. Low standard education

4. Corruption

5. Insufficient motorable roads

6. Religion intolerance/nepotism/tribalism

So far, APC as the strongest opposition party is yet to come up with the modalities on how to tackle the above problems. The only thing Buhari is capable of doing (as promised) is 'fighting' corruption and again I ask, how?

I pray Buhari is NOT seeking this position so that he can have an opportunity to punish his perceived enemies?

Other important questions are:

1. If Buhari who earned huge salaries as a head of state between 1983-1985, military governor of N/E region, minister of petroleum resources, and chairman of PTDF now claims that he ONLY has one million naira in his account, is that not an indication that he is very poor in financial management? What happens to all the money he earns as a former head of state and as a rtd General? Do we need an expert in financial mismanagement as a Nigerian president in this 21st century?

2. Some GEJ critics complain of inadequate power supply. Did we have 24- hour power supply before him? If NOT, do you expect him to fix it in a space of 4 years when other presidents have failed to do so in a space of 50 years? GEJ is no Jesus Christ if you ask me.

3. What was the poverty rate in Nigeria during Buhari's regime? Could you compare it with what we have today?

4. If Buhari couldn't profer a lasting solution to Nigeria problems as president in 1985 when he is young, do you think he can do so now that he is 72 years and half of his brain cells are dead? Even Profs retire at the age of 70 years because they can no longer strain their brains to think and come up with new ideas.

5. If Buhari doesn't have a hidden agenda other than his love for Nigeria, why didn't he give other credible candidates in APC the opportunity to become president? Is Buhari the ONLY saint in APC? Must he be president again at all cost?

6. Is it NOT glaring that APC is just a means for the Northern muslims to re-claim power back since it is no longer possible in PDP?

7. Do you think Buhari would have remained in APC if Rochas or Atiku had emerged victorious in just concluded APC presidential primary election? If No, why?

Finally, Goodluck may not be the type of president we clamoured for but Buhari is NOT an alternative. I thought APC would have provided us a vibrant and better candidate who can brace up with the existing realities of this modern and complex world.

If they had done that, Nigerians will NOT need paint-him-black strategy of APC to vote GEJ (Not PDP) out in 2015.

[/s]



We vote people into office to take care of our problems, not to make excuses about the past or what past leaders do or didn't do.

If I didn't do my job and gave my Oga the same excuse about other workers and what they do or didn't do, he'll sack me on the spot. It's called accountability.

The opposition is not the problem, the current administration is the problem and the fact that you are sitting here making excuses for them instead of telling us what plans and solutions they have to better out lives means you and this incompetent administration are out of gas with nothing better to offer Nigerians.

It's very unfortunate and insulting that with all the challenges facing Nigerians, all you have to sell is irrelevant argument about the APC's VP choice that's non of your business and also religious bigotry and division..

malele:
The way buhari. And family are visiting tinubu, I just pray dey don't hand over 9ja to Tinubu

How safe are you and corruption crippled, security challenged, divided, and economically broke Nigeria today in the hands of the most corrupt and incompetent government in the history of Nigeria and on the surface of the earth?

Tinubu handed over Lagos to Fashola and Lagos state is the most well governed state and the most productive state across the board in Nigeria so why not just tell us how well governed and productive your own states are.

Character assassination can not make your life better, tell us what the people you prefer have done to make our lives better, safe and secure, tell us how hey have improved our economic well being, tell us how they've provided stable electricity as promised after $20 billion down the drain, tell us how they have eradicated corruption, tell us how they have provided quality healthcare and good education and so on. Using Tinubu who is not even a public official to distract away from the misery and hard times perpetrated by the current administration sounds worn out and overplayed to Nigerians..

orimsamsam:
By God grace. This is the incoming first lady of nigeria

Amen...

All we are getting from this administration and folks advocating for continuation with this failed administration are anti Buhari/Personality insults and attacks and never serious dialogue or ideas per how to address the mounting challenges they created and their failed promises.

Insults and denigrating other people can not and won't solve our problems so it beats me why they are spending their precious time attacking Buhari instead of detailing and selling their plans and solutions to Nigerians.

I find it very insulting and uncaring that they are not even trying to justify their continued stay with valid, prudent and sensible solutions, but with attacks, lies, insults and character assassination..

With what we are experiencing in Nigeria today, you just can not in good conscience advocate for Nigerians to keep the same government in power.

Very good observation and patriotic decision.

To continue with the current administration with all the challenges facing the country from the wide spread and alarming corruption raging and bringing Nigeria to her knees to insecurity and thousands killed by terrorists, loss of Nigerian territory and total government paralysis.

Getting rid of this government is a patriotic duty that must be done..
