Just as they have the powers to "tweak" the budget, so does the constitution empowers the president to veto any bill!

At this juncture, all that is left is to count the days to 2019, this present NASS case is a forgone conclusion, Nigeria nor fit see any profit from this transaction, make loss nor too plenty na the only prayer.
Unfortunately, I think they need just two thirds of d senate to over-ride d president's veto. Since they all are corrupt and it might be anyone's turn tomorrow, getting two thirds won't be a prob!

Shit happens!
Family › Re: A Family Routine That Really Caught My Intrest. by ashjay001(m): 3:59pm On Apr 11, 2016
ArinzeAlec:
My neighour had a tough time time conceiving, When she eventually did, she had two kids in succession and they closed that chapter due to medical reasons. Kids are grown and enrolled in schools. Both parents are business people which means they also leave in the morning.

This couple developed a routine which leaves me with smiles. Wife wakes early in the morning and most times, the noise from her kitchen rendezvous gets me up to start my day too. Whilst busy in
the kitchen, her husband sweeps the house. Don’t ask me
how I know, cause I
see him do it and most
times I greet him in the
process. Wifey bathes the kids and the husband helps out in preparing them for school. Before 7:30am, they are on their way out. Kids get to school on time, they get to their businesses on time, everyone is happy.

A win-win situation. I also love the way they have brought up their kids. You could see their male child in the kitchen washing plates while the girl plays. When asked, she would gladly tell you it is his turn to wash the dishes. He sweeps and does whatever his sister does. He is a teenager now and I see him go to the market, I see him cook, I see him do what a normal human should do. He has been trained to understand that being a male isn’t an entitlement and no task is an exclusive preserve for the women.

Wherever he finds himself, I believe sorting out his basic needs wouldn’t be much of a problem to him.
I have heard most men say they would never do certain things and it ranges from to cleaning the house, to cooking, to washing etc. According to them, they are for women and the married ones would ask “what did I marry my wife for?

It is very heart breaking to see men who wouldn’t participate in the upbringing of their kids save for bringing money for essential commodities. It is no wonder men who bath their kids, participate in house chores are called all sort of names. What is “unmanly” about a man who know the real definition of being a father? A man who understand the role of bonding with his kids? Who set those standards? You bring a child into the world, you should be responsible for his welfare. It is very ridiculous to say “im helping my wife bath the kids or change diapers, or clean the house”. On your own kids, in your own house?? Are you okay?? I believe two adults who come together to make a family, a home should be responsible for the welfare of the home.

Leaving all duties to the woman because you feel it is her responsibility reduces her to a maid Isn’t it surprising to note that men who would rather be dead than partake in house chores demand their wives partake in the financial responsibility of the family. It is very okay for her to work, raise kids, clean home and then bring her monthly contribution while the other end remains unbalanced because You are a Man and certain duties are not cut out for you.

I have an idea on how I want to raise my kids. If God blesses me with boys and girls, I would raise them as human beings.
Humans who should be responsible for their basic need, their environment and welfare.
Humans who understand that no role is gender specific save for the ones our biological make up has prepared us for.
Humans who shouldn’t
feel any sense of entitlement because of their gender Humans who understands the
importance of teamwork I really want to break those stereotypes when I have my kids. I want to raise fine men and women who wouldn’t tow societal expectation even if it is BS just to save face The next generation shouldn’t be burdened with the load of BS we take in daily as normal This shouldn’t repeat itself, we owe our kids that much.

PS: I am not responsible
for what you make out
of this post.
Just make sure u get d right mate!

[size=13pt] This is an example of missplaced priority...why build a lagos to calabar rail when even 20% of that money can be used to build a world class port in calabar and port harcourt..who want to travel from lag to calabar on a train....or of what do you hope to bring into calabar from lagos that cannot be brought in through the sea.
The yoruba oligarchy have decided to ensure that the south south never get a port so that people will not leave lagos and the innefectual buffon after 6yrs in power could not even build one port in his home region.
The only way for igbos to leave lagos is to build a port in the south south,complete the onitsha inland port and all industries in lagos will move with it and lagos shall cease to be no mans land and go back to the binis or yorubas and it will join the degeneracy of the rest of the waste..

U wish!

Since u seem ignorant, Calabar n PH do have working ports. Infact, Calabar was once Nigeria's state capital.

And since u sound simple minded, rail transport generally is cheaper, more efficient and less prone to accidents compared to road transport. And d rail is to open up d hinterlands, after-all d rail will have stops in most towns it passes thru. Also, should there be high speed passenger rail, u can even work in PH, yet stay in Owerri.

Most industries are truly owned by foreigners and they tend to repatriate any profit to their home countries, costing Naija serious forex. Since d new dispensation, its getting hard to import raw materials and export forex, they are reducing investments.

www.wsj.com/articles/the-golden-state-warriors-have-revolutionized-basketball-1459956975

OAKLAND, Calif.—On every NBA
court, about 24 feet from the
basket, there is a thin stripe of
colored paint. The flat-sided
semicircle it forms is the boundary
between shots that count for two
points and shots that are worth
three.
When the NBA added the lines in
1979, the players weren’t sure what
to think. They sniffed and pawed at
them like cats with a new toy. Only
3% of the shots they put up that
season were 3-pointers.
Over the next three decades, that
number crept higher. When it
reached 22%, the growth curve
flattened. It seemed that the sport
had found its optimal ratio.
Then the Golden State Warriors
came along and blew that
assumption to pieces.
The Warriors, the National
Basketball Association’s defending
champion, now stand three wins
from tying the league record of 72 in
the regular season, set in 1996 by
Michael Jordan ’s Chicago Bulls.
Much of the credit belongs to the
star guard Stephen Curry, who is
having, by almost every measure,
one of the best seasons of any player
in history.
But there is another tale to be told
about the Warriors. It involves a
group of executives with limited
experience, led by a Silicon Valley
financier, that bought a floundering
franchise in 2010 and set out to fix it
by raising a single question: What
would happen if you built a
basketball team by ignoring every
orthodoxy of building a basketball
team?
The process took many twists and
turns, and there were times when it
nearly failed. But the dominance the
Warriors have displayed this season
can be traced back to one of the
most unusual ideas embraced by the
data-loving executives: the notion
that the NBA’s 3-point line was a
market inefficiency hiding in plain
sight.
This season the Warriors have sunk
1,025 3-pointers, by far the most in
NBA history. Not only has Mr. Curry
taken more threes than any other
player, he is making them at a rate
of 45.6%, higher than the NBA
average for all shots. He has
shattered his own record for most 3-
pointers in a season by 34%.
Moreover, distance seems to have no
significant effect on his accuracy.
Mr. Curry is a better shooter from
30 to 40 feet than the average NBA
player is from 3 to 4.
The result is a basketball style no
one has yet figured out how to
defeat.
“What’s really interesting is
sometimes in venture capital and
doing startups the whole world can
be wrong,” said the team’s primary
owner, Joe Lacob, a longtime
partner at Silicon Valley venture-
capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield
& Byers. “No one really executed a
game plan—a team-building
architecture—around the 3-
pointer.”
In 2010, the Golden State Warriors
hadn’t won an NBA title since 1975.
They played in a dumpy arena
beside an interstate and had made
the playoffs just once in the last 15
years. The previous owner, Chris
Cohan, was loathed by many loyal
fans.
Still, competition to buy the team
was fierce. To fend off the other
finalist, Oracle Corp. founder Larry
Ellison, Mr. Lacob and
entertainment mogul Peter Guber
paid $450 million, which was, at the
time, the highest price for a team in
NBA history.
It wasn’t long before Mr. Lacob, who
is 60 years old, installed a basketball
brain trust akin to a board at one of
his companies. The team’s
executives are always
communicating—a group text
message hums on their phones
during games—and every decision
brings vigorous debate. But from the
beginning, the Warriors brass
placed an unusually strong emphasis
on numbers.
The data dive yielded many insights,
but the Warriors eventually zeroed
in on the 3-point line. NBA players
made roughly the same percentage
of shots from 23 feet as they did
from 24. But because the 3-point line
ran between them, the values of
those two shots were radically
different. Shot attempts from 23 feet
had an average value of 0.76 points,
while 24-footers were worth 1.09.
This, the Warriors concluded, was
an opportunity. By moving back just
a few inches before shooting, a
basketball player could improve his
rate of return by 43%.
Mr. Lacob wasn’t the only team
owner in sports to delve into
statistics—baseball has been doing it
for years—and the Warriors weren’t
the first NBA team to see the
potential of the 3-pointer. Starting in
the 1990s, a string of teams with
brutally effective defenses had
prompted teams like the Phoenix
Suns and San Antonio Spurs to
search for different ways to score,
and that meant shooting more 3-
pointers. More recently, as the data
improved, it became clear that
teams weren’t taking nearly enough
of them.
The difference between the
Warriors and everyone else was
what the team decided to do with
this information.
For many years after James
Naismith invented basketball in
1891, the prevailing view was that
the most important area of the court
was near the basket. From Wilt
Chamberlain’s finger-rolls in the
1960s to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ’s sky
hooks in the 1970s to Mr. Jordan’s
soaring dunks in the 1990s, the NBA
was the dominion of players who
owned the rim.
When the Warriors, under their
previous owners, drafted Mr. Curry
in 2009, he wasn’t a prototypical
NBA superstar. Though his father,
Dell, had played in the NBA, Stephen
Curry was so lightly recruited out of
high school that he had attended
tiny Davidson College near his
hometown of Charlotte, N.C. He only
emerged as a tantalizing NBA
prospect after his team made an
improbable run to the regional
finals of the 2008 NCAA tournament.
Even after his first two seasons with
Golden State, Mr. Curry wasn’t a
sure thing. Still, as the team’s new
executives settled on their plan to
exploit the 3-point line, they became
convinced Mr. Curry would be their
centerpiece.
The first test of their commitment
came in the form of a controversial
decision: trading the team’s leading
scorer, Monta Ellis. Some believed
Mr. Ellis was too similar to Mr.
Curry and that he was costing him
shots. Others thought it was crazy to
banish the most popular player. At
one point, just before the deal, Mr.
Lacob tested the confidence of his
basketball executives by telling
them he was getting cold feet. They
defended their plan and pulled the
trigger.
The week after the 2012 trade, Mr.
Lacob was booed by fans. The team
finished that season with one of the
NBA’s worst records.
Team building
The Warriors already were building
a team around Mr. Curry that would
allow him to take more 3-pointers.
The most critical step had come in
the 2011 draft when they selected
Washington State guard Klay
Thompson. He, too, was the son of an
NBA player and an excellent
shooter. At 6-foot-7, he was 4 inches
taller than Mr. Curry.
The team believed Mr. Thompson’s
shooting ability would make
defenses too frightened to leave him
alone, and that would limit their
ability to double-team Mr. Curry.
But because he was tall, he could
defend the other team’s best guard
and shoot over defenses without
being blocked, which could help the
Warriors compete against teams
that hoped to use their size to
contain Mr. Curry.
What made the move most
attractive was its novelty. Most 3-
point-shooting teams had one
superb shooter surrounded by a
collection of supporting players.
“Imagine if we could have two of
those guys,” Kirk Lacob, the owner’s
27-year-old son and the team’s
assistant general manager, recalled
thinking at the time.
“It’s once in a lifetime,” said Joe
Lacob.
The day after Mr. Ellis was traded,
Mr. Thompson was inserted into the
starting lineup. After that, according
to the general manager Bob Myers,
when the team was drafting and
signing players, the strategy shifted
from wondering whether they could
play with Mr. Curry to asking: “Who
can play with Steph and Klay?”
By the time the 2014-15 season
began, the Warriors had padded
their roster with Andrew Bogut, a 7-
foot center who protects the rim and
shores up their defense; the
position-defying Draymond Green,
the steal of the 2012 draft; and rangy
guards Andre Iguodala and Shaun
Livingston, whom they acquired in
free agency. “They complemented
shooting,” Mr. Myers said, “even
though they’re not shooters.”
The Warriors then had a chance to
trade for one of the league’s
premier players, Minnesota
Timberwolves forward Kevin Love.
The move would have been a no-
brainer for most basketball people.
But the Timberwolves wanted a
player in return whose departure
would have scuttled the Warriors’
master plan. “They kept asking for
Klay, and we kept saying no,” Mr.
Lacob said. “We weren’t going to
trade Klay, and they weren’t going
to do a deal without Klay.”
The team doubled down on its 3-
point plan by replacing coach Mark
Jackson with Steve Kerr, a member
of five NBA championship teams
who had retired with a 45.4%
shooting rate on 3-pointers, the
highest in league history. It was his
first NBA coaching job.
That season, with all the pieces in
place, the Warriors fielded five
players between 6-foot-3 and 6-
foot-8 who all were threats to shoot
3-pointers. This “small-ball” lineup—
widely known as the “death lineup”
or, as Barack Obama called it, the
“nuclear lineup”—helped the
Warriors take 9% more 3-pointers as
a team than the year before and
make a higher percentage than
anyone in the league.
This combination of frequency and
efficiency had a fascinating effect on
opponents. It forced them to spread
out, extending their defense all the
way to the 3-point line instead of
packing the paint, leaving the
Warriors with lots of open space.
Mr. Curry set a record for 3-point
shots and was named the league’s
Most Valuable Player. Mr.
Thompson made the All-Star team.
The Warriors overcame the
Cleveland Cavaliers to win their first
NBA title in 40 years.
A step further
The tinkering could have stopped
there. The Warriors clearly had hit
on a winning formula. But then they
began thinking about an audacious
idea that would make them even
better.
The plan had started to take shape
in 2013, during a playoff game
against the Spurs, one of the NBA’s
top teams. Mr. Curry was just then
coming into his own, showing signs
that he could be both dazzling and
deadly. During one possession early
in the first quarter, Mr. Curry
dribbled around a screen and found
himself in a pocket of open space.
Immediately, even before he had
time to set his feet, Mr. Curry pulled
up and fired a 3-pointer.
Mr. Myers, the general manager
who was in the arena watching that
night, couldn’t believe his eyes. As
the ball swished through the net, he
turned to the other Warriors
executives around him to confirm
what he had just seen. “Did he just
shoot that off one foot?” he asked.
“Who shoots a three off one foot?”
The shot was only one of dozens of
stunners Mr. Curry had made
during his young NBA career. But it
played a crucial role in firming up
another idea the team was batting
around. The Warriors were
dreaming about what would happen
if they gave Mr. Curry a green light
to take more shots, and more crazy
ones, too—not off one foot, exactly,
but from places on the floor where
nobody had ever routinely taken
shots.
Mr. Curry had already reached the
point where he could take as many
as 10 threes in one game without
anyone noticing. It didn’t matter if
the shot was off one foot, from 5 feet
behind the 3-point line or the
popcorn stand in the concourse. His
accuracy didn’t seem to suffer
much. Before every game, in fact,
Mr. Curry practices these kinds of
bombs by shooting from the half-
court logo.
The team realized that any
possession that ended with a 3-point
attempt by Mr. Curry was
worthwhile—and that they would
never discourage him from taking
one. In this, the season of Mr.
Curry’s unleashing, the Warriors are
shooting 17% more threes than a
season ago. Mr. Curry is attempting
more than 11 a game. No NBA team
had ever had a player attempt more
than nine. Last season he hit 286
threes. This season he is on pace for
about 400.
What amazes fans even more is the
location of those shots. NBA players
shoot an average of 28% from 27
feet or beyond. Most players don’t
even take them unless the shot clock
is running out. Mr. Curry has taken
253 such deep shots this year and
made 47% of them. The result is that
defenders have strayed even farther
from the basket to guard him,
opening even bigger spaces for his
teammates.
“Stretching a defense makes it
easier to score,” Mr. Myers said.
The success of the Warriors this
season has turned Mr. Curry, who is
28 years old, into one the NBA’s
biggest stars. He has an everyman
appeal because he isn’t a giant.
His celebrity has raised the profile
of the 3-point shot. This year, like
the last four years, NBA teams are
taking more 3-pointers than ever.
They now amount to 28.3% of total
shots. College teams also hit another
high in 3-pointers attempted per
game this season. High school teams
have caught the bug, too.
Mr. Guber, the team’s co-owner, said
other NBA teams will try to emulate
the Warriors’ original approach as
they attempt to end the team’s
reign.
“Other teams will do it in a different
way,” he said. “They’ll take chances
and challenge the incumbent and
come up with another way to create
the magic.”
For now, the Warriors have it. They
turned the 3-point line into a
boundary in time. The kind of
strategy that unfolded inside the
line belonged to the game’s past.
The future of basketball, they
believed, lay behind the line—and
Mr. Curry showed it was farther
behind that line than even they
imagined.
“I don’t know why it took so long,”
Mr. Lacob said. “You would think in
sports that this would’ve been tried
a long time ago.”

LordAdam:
Are you high? Even a blind, deaf, and dumb person will not make the mistake to compare GEJ and Buhari.

Should we start with the growth rate, inflation rate, amount of FDI, power, price of fuel, ease of doing business, economic rating, agriculture, rail, automobile, steady reduction in unemployment rate, electoral reforms. Please, don't be a Zombie!

OBJ's only tangible achievement was clearing our debt. Yaradua's only achievement was putting rule of law in the foreground (something PMB is bent on destroying). The only star in the military era is OBJ, the others were idiotas including the few democratic despots like Shagari. So there's no one there to compare with GEJ.

GEJ had better abilities than PMB or any other leader in Nigeria's history. It is a fact.

All those who wanted Jesus Christ or Mohammed like yourself are kids on the inside of an adult frame.

You guys wanted him to solve Nigeria's power problem, he sought out to privatize it, you guys said he was dashing it off to his cronies. Nigeria's power problem cannot be solved by a government. We need over $100b to get constant power in Nigeria. That is the entire sum of 5 years of GEJ's budget.

They say he didn't build enough roads, but they were unable to track the number of roads he constructed which was attested to be more than any other government.

They say he allowed corruption to thrive unhindered, and we ask why has PMB not prosecuted any body in his party? But you wanted GEJ to prosecute people in his party? You say he was weak, but when NOI uncovered thousands of ghost workers, there was zero fanfare.

They say he didn't save, but when he took the governors (led by Ameachi) to the court about depleting our savings and lost, Nigerians who were not queuing to buy fuel did not think it was their business.

They say he was soft, but when he started the War on Terrorism against threats by the Northern elites, he was not strong. When he resolved a 13 year (1998-2011) minimum wage dispute barely months after being elected and increasing the wage by 200%, he was not strong. When he stood against the fuel marketers cabal to remove subsidy, and Nigerians foolishly sided with their oppressors, he was not strong. When he fought against the generators and power cabal to disband PHCN (something OBJ could not do in 8 years), he was not strong.

You said he was not able to address terrorism but the ammunitions he bought are still being used to prosecute the war 10 months after he was gone. He set up military tribunals to try treasonous soldiers who were sabotaging our war efforts.

You said he is a PHD holder that wasn't able to motivate people, and if you were not motivated by his "I had no shoe" speech, or his "my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian". You said he was not able to propagate his message and I begin to wonder if you have been living under a rock in 6 years when he was able to carry out the largest privatization sale in Africa without a hitch from workers, NLC or private partners. Do you know what a disaster that would have been if Buhari and his 40 thieves had oversaw that sale?

Show me one functional democracy where the opposition is bullied? Is bullying the opposition the mark of a great leader or that of a tyrant? So you want him to be like OBJ or Chadian, Cameroonian, Zimbabwean presidents where opposition figures are thrown in prison and there is no freedom of speech. If bullying the opposition is the only achievement you can point to me as the achievement of Buhari, then you are an enemy of democracy, an enemy of Nigerians, and an enemy of free speech.

You deserve what you get in PMB.

GEJ is not and will never be in the same league with PMB. PMB is a senile trash that rode into power on the back of acclaimed thieves (Tinubu, Amechi, Saraki) and disillusioned amnesiac vegetative Nigerians like yourself.

If only u'll allow ur brilliant mind to be objective.

With all ur listed achievements of the GEJ's govt, I wonder why our refineries didn't work for his six years, or that we're yet to generate over 5000MW(Obj) of electricity, or why he was borrowing to pay salaries(PMB is yet to do such), or he couldn't bail out d states owing salaries(23 at d last count), or how BH came to declare a caliphate over 23 Nigerian LGAs.

Things where already worse in 2014- no fuel, no power, BH at large, no jobs, no salaries- d only thing available then was excess dollars to d ruling class! Where are d rails? the food? the robust economy? name one completed road project? Doesn't d sudden collapse show all GEJ's growth was on paper? PMB is yet to formulate any policy, what he has been doing is threading water and implementing d past policies and stopping leakages, yet everything is collapsing? I wonder which country u where, when Ekitigate happened or when APC members/party where being harassed by d DSS or when courts where giving orders of perpetual injunctions against prosecution of political exposed persons or when states were owing several months salaries or when criminals where strolling d corridors of power?

U've read all these atrocities, yet u're shameless enough to conveniently forget them?

Inculcate objectivity, pls!

That explains why Politicians can dribble them left and right. Loot their money and the masses call them Kings.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala committed a dishonest act, it was public and she came back years later to heap blames on Governors.

Yet, even with the facts in front of them, they cannot understand.

I am scared of the literacy level of Nigeria.

We need a war against illiteracy.
Don't know how we're gonna go about that war, when their harvard educated coordinating minister madam will come into public space and become basket-case of contradictions!

You are asking me to prove what is on the articles I posted.

It was after Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala withdrew from the ECA funds that the Governors asked for theirs.

How could she ask the Governors and the local governments to save their money and she went behind their backs to withdraw it.

Do not attach sentiments and faced the facts. NOI caused it.
Bros, na chicken brain all of them get! They can't even read to comprehend, so frustrating and annoying to observe this flaw in the supposed leaders of tomorrow.

Firstly, TSA don't have N3trn.
Secondly, the budget is to be funded by revenues that will be generated monthly this year and then loans
Thirdly, Buhari has been president since May last year, he had the budget for 2015. He also had a 0.5trn supplementary in December 2015.
Can you point to anything or infrastructure he did with 2015 budget?
Some of you should stop sounding like Buhari was running the country from his pocket.

Your types are the problem in Nigeria. Thinking because you voted him in 2011, you somehow are of a higher morality to justify voting a senile trash in 2015.

Your illusion is your undoing. There are no messiahs. Just people with better abilities than others. And as far as history and reality goes, GEJ has better abilities than PMB. That was the singular reason why I supported GEJ in 2015. I will not choose a goat or a nepa bill certificate holder over the president who had made the best performance since Nigeria's independence.

That you did proves that you need adult supervision around sharp objects.

-Lord
Study ur morality! List or probably mention d ability this ur GEJ has over PMB?
Compare and contrast his best performance/s and how tangible/viable it was in relation to past govt efforts?

Hear urself-"no messiahs, just pple with better abilities than others"; since he supposedly has better abilities, isn't he supposed to put it to good use? What is a messiah, if not someone with better abilities?

A supposedly Phd holder, who doesn't even know how to motivate his people, propagate his message or possibly even bully opposition into submission? Just what d nepa certificate holder is doing presently! I know stark illiterates who'll reason u into d ground, leadership no be by book; abinibi>ability!

This is one of d instances I wish to play God; just give u wailers ur utopia with GEJ as ur president! Mofos

Hey dude ..quit being an asshole. The cbn guv'nor was dancig around figuees so it serves him right.

It's so silly to think PMB won without Tinubu's effort. what the f.uck do you mean by GEJ betraying your trust?

At this point i can say with every alacrity you were one of the brainwashed yellowbar..if not tinubu's APC propaganda how else could Nigerians vote for just APC and not hope or kowa party. and FTR buhari will lose if he was the flagbearer for kowa party


Don't be a dullard like your boss. errybody knows Tinubu was the brain behind PMB victory at the last polls
Read ur reasoning: u called me an ass-hole earlier, then towards d end u try being polite and tell me not to end up a dullard?

Who do u tink is d ass-hole? Since u've got half-baked reasoning like other wailers, PMB was already winning 12 core north states b4 Tinubu! Oyo, Kwara, Ondo, Kogi, Benue and even Ekiti will never vote Tinubu! During elections in those states, Tinubu is always lowkey. So, Tinubu might be taking d glory, but deep down everybody realised d Buffoon fuc-ked up big time! Everybody, except tribalistic buffoons like u! The whole democratic world, turned against him and insulted him to his face! Was that propaganda too?


Did u know when soldiers where deployed to welcome Yar'Adua's body into d country, without GEJ, as a acting presido, knowing anything about it? I almost bursted a vein on fb. Do u even know anything about d 'doctrine of necessity'? I jubilated for over a week, when it was applied. I registered to vote because of d bloody buffoon!

What broke my delusions of GEJ's messianic abilities, was when he appointed achike udenwa, a minister; I served as a corper during udenwa's tenure, it was terrible! Imagine my saviour president appointing such a deadbeat as his minister?

I'm gonna shut my trap and allow u enjoy ur tomfoolery, while I bid my time and pray PMB doesn't fu-ck up, but if he does, the kicking out circle begins again!

No more will mediocrity be allowed to get 2 terms! We need true change

I laugh when people mention GEJ and corruption.

I don't know how old you are, but Nigeria's first republic was terminated on accusations of widespread corruption.

Gowon's regime was overthrown on accusations of widespread corruption.

Shagari's regime was overthrown by Buhari junta on accusations of widespread corruption.

Babangida's regime was ousted, forced to abdicate on allegations of widespread institutionalized corruption.

Abacha, well, you know the story.

Abdusalami' s one year tenure is said have been characterized by widespread corruption.

OBJ, despite his many achievements , had his name and regime characterized by widespread corruption.

Yaradua, especially during his illness before he died, his family and associates are alleged to have massively looted the Treasury.

So what is particularly so unique about corruption during Jonathan's tenure ?
Nothing.
Corruption is a NIGERIAN thing.
It wasn't something that GEJ invented or even expanded.
I concede that he did little to curb it.
That's the only crime we can hold him accountable for.

Now, given that looters also financed Buhari's Ascension to power, and no one is asking questions, I am shocked at the selective amnesia and hypocrisy on display here.

Brainwashing of the voters, especially the southwest voters, did GEJ in .
That's the simple truth.
What u don't seem to understand is; GEJ was supposed to be different! He was supposed to be one of us, fighting battles on our behalf. I remember very well, all my social media rantings on his behalf during d Yar'Adua health saga; I remember the jubilations on the streets, from lagos to calabar to plateau to kaduna, when he won against PMB! He became one of them, incubating corruption, standing up for thieves, protecting them, shielding them, even removed a cbn guv for them! He lost our trust and as such PMB became attractive.

Tinubu couldn't sell PMB, infact with Tinubu as his VP, PMB would av lost gallantly! PMB came into power because GEJ betrayed our trust! That we've had thieves as our former leaders gave GEJ the wherewithal to breed thieves? Hear urself

Compare d 2011 results to the 2015 results, d SW want progress, to hell with sentiments!

I guess you're not mature enough to understand that politics and elections are about PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT more than anything else.
Voters are like the plebeians. They are unthinking in facts. They prefer short chewable soundbytes, the type that Tinubu and the Western Axis media fed them.

With regards to politicking and PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT, GEJ was monumentally clueless.

Without Tinubu, the Western Axis media, and their socially engineering( a fancy word for brainwashing) Western Axis voters, Nigerians would have overwhelmingly rejected Buhari for the 4th time.

That's history now.

Let's go out and see what the plebeians are saying now.
grin
Seriously, u think Tinubu sold PMB? If it comes to a vote, do u really think all zombies will vote for Tinubu? I personally, though I respect his achievements, grudgingly, don't, won't and can't vote Tinubu! Infact, I'm still wondering how PMB was convinced to partner with him!

What so hard about understanding that GEJ lost, inspite of a six years head-start, to a 3 time loser?

Obj was bad, we didn't vote PMB.
Yar'Adua was unknown, yet we didn't vote PMB
Jonathan was seen as a messiah, so we didn't vote PMB
What happened within 4yrs, to make pple jubilate on d streets at GEJ's loss?

U seem to have closed ur ears to the news of absolute corruption he allowed. The culprits are not denying, infact some are returning funds voluntarily, what they are complaining about is a witchhunt! And, u're hear beating ur chest, defending him n them, without any iota of shame?

Don't worry, relax, in 3yrs time, if PMB continues on this path, we'll probably vote in Wike! QED!

What has perception got to do with supporting a criminal, who owns up to his crime?! Praying ardously for him to come and continue from where he left off! Are u matured urself?

Yeah, indeed.

Mr clueless established 12 federal universities in 4 years.

Mr clueless made great strides in agriculture ( as attested by the current agriculture minister).

Mr clueless did more for road infrastructure than any previous administration) as attested to by the current works minister).

Mr clueless sustained the double digit economic growth begin by OBJ and briefly derailed by Yaradua.

Mr clueless Shepherded the continued expansion of the Nigerian middle class, the first in nearly half a century.

Middle class expansion is the benchmark for economic progress.

Mr clueless Shepherded fair and free elections ( by internationally accepted standards) year after year, state after state.

Mr clueless demonstrated his patriotism by vowing that no Nigerian life is worth his ambitions. Compare that to those who vowed Bloodshed if they did not win, after trice rejected by the Nigerian people.

Mr clueless never ever interfered or compromised our growing and maturing democratic values and aspirations.
Compare that today with all the Democratic and rule of law violations in just the past 10 months.

Mr clueless delegated RESPONSIBILITIES to ministers, read and understood his budget, let the ministers shine, promoted inclusion, national unity and cohesion.

Compare that to the one who says that he nothing to those that didn't vote for him, and the unabashed NEPOTISM currently rife at the corridors of power.

Yes, indeed.
I think the Oxford dictionary needs to redefine cluelessness in the light (or darkness) of what we are witnessing in Nigeria today, 10 months after the supposed clueless one left office.
Mr Clueless did all what u mentioned above, and was still beaten hands down at d ballot by a 3 time loser, even Mr Clueless himself won against last time around! In an election Mr Clueless oversaw as an incumbent?


Seriously, I need what u're smoking! A 3 time loser thrashed a supposedly working president(who trashed d 3 time loser handsdown in round one) in an election he organised and u're listing fallacies?

He used our funds to finance his campaign! Funds meant to fight BH, improve schools, airports, railways, healthcare etc. If he had actually spent those funds judiciously, u won't be here missing him! When will u realise his failures made PMB attractive? PMB couldn't even win a quarter of d votes in a single SW state in 2011, and yet he became d man to beat barely 4yrs later?!!!!

I bring you greetings from the current sorry state of our dear country. It is a well known fact that we played a massive role as steered by our own(Tinubu) to bring this present government to power. We did this partly because we felt GEJ was incompetent and because we had a platform that made one of our own to be vice( and ultimately president incase anything happens. Yaradua comes to mind). I have been thinking and I'm lost in between hiding under the shame of what I voted for and to scream so as to save my dear country and what the future holds for my kids. We don't need a prophet to tell us we voted in ERROR. We placed soo much hope on a man who doesn't have good past leadership records or even a certificate. We voted for him out of what we percieved him to be. We are all suffering it now. We cannot keep on answering Zombies. Zombies smile in suffering. I suggest we do something and urgent too. Can we impeach him so that our son can take over? The irony is that the career of our bright stars such as Fashola,Adeosun, Osinbajo etc have been stained by extended clueless-ness of PMB. We can still save our race and what we stand for. I rest my case!
