Mr Truthteller, obj might have increased the fleet of Nigeria airways then, neither him nor Buhari created the company. There's no doubt they tinkered with existing structures. They never created anything worthwhile.Certainly didn't build any refinery.

common; stop thinking like a moro.n, (pls pardon me). Not that I have alluded to your speculations that thy have never initiated or created an entity, but even if that were to be true, what is the essence of building infrastructures u have no knowledge or know how as to maintaining them (as the case with the new unis when the existing are in a dilapidated state). Alas compare this situation with someone that can improve existing condition to be competitive world wide!!

I compare most analysis of Nigerians on this forum and the way they reason with Yanks, Brits, and Europeans that I have met and lived with and cant wonder why they think we are stupi.d. May be we are not stupid just that we are blinded to the truth cos of our capricious nature.

And FYI, he increased the number of airplanes in the fleet..

djon78:
APC has played their joker and by this they have cleared the coast for an easy ride for GEJ back to Aso rock, as a result of one mans inordinate ambition; Asimaju Tinubu.

APC in chosing their Vp from a man who has no political weight, a mere Tinubu stoge, and neglecting the governors that have the might to match their opponents PDP, all because of Tinubu s selfishness. Never underestimate the power that governors wield, in 2007 when Obj was leaving he got his succesors from the governors, when Yaradua died, GEJ still got his vp from among the governors. Tinubu because of his myopia and lust for power, instead of picking the vp from among the power block of governors, instead positioned his stooge, daggers have been drawn out and ceaser will be stabed.

1. GEJ will win 2015 election with more landslide than 2011. GEJ will even win substantial part of core Northern States. Most people think Northerners are dumb, they are the smartest when it comes to playing politics. Planting Buhari there will be another Yaradua on them, so that Tinubu via his stooge will have Nigeria in his hands (the guy smart well), rather the North will rather allow GEJ for another 4 years so that young turks like Muazu, Ribadu, El rufai, Tambumal etc will mature well and be ready to take power in 2019.

2. Tinubus empire will crash in 2015, he will loose Lagos his cashcow, APC may still retain Ogun and Oyo because their governors may play ball with GEJ in the election so they will complement each other. But as for Lagos, it will be taken away from Tinubu, since the emergence of our present political era, no other politician has become so powerful like Tinubu because of the vast resources of Lagos at his disposal, James Ibori was also a bit powerful, but he was cut to size. The powers that be has passed judgement on Tinubu, and by 2015, the judgement will be executed, he will loose out. He nailed his coffin by this choice he made, if he had chosen Oshiomole or Fashola or Fayemi or even Amechi, it would have been a very close call in the election, but his lust for power never allowed him.
As for Amechi, he will be forgiven, GEJ is a good man, he is not an unforgiving, vile and wicked man like Obj. It shall be well with Nigeria post 2015, diversify our economy, ceasation of terrorism etc.

I like your conviction; but I bet you if that clueless shoeless wins in feb its overt rigging..

Pls I urge people to read the content of the above link....

this is rumour for now, I saw on LTV8 by line that they are yet to pick the VP. Guess the speculations will keep coming still..

U tel me why it must b buhari. B4 my father we were told that they'r d leaders of tmrw......but funny enough those same ppl are the 1c forcin there way to power.

U are a serious joke. Like seriously, are u quoting a line from a comedian?

rexzqcom:
If I'm not mistaking, the only thing original attributable to OBJ in the 70's, were "operation feed the nation" and the "Green Revolution". Both fizzled out and failed. Of course, the true power never rested in him. Power resided with the northern military hierarchy Cabals. Obasanjo was a puppet of the supreme military organ. He wasn't even the commander in chief of the Army forces. Brigadiar Yaradua held that power.

Thats. Lie. Nigerian Airways increased from i think 2 airplanes in the fleet to about 33. So be careful asserting incomplete info.

This is the type of thread that shld be on the FP..

hansad:
In the last two years, OBJ wanted to personally choose and impose a new PDP presidential candidate for 2015, the same manner he imposed Yar'Adua and GEJ on Nigeria in 2007; but the officials of PDP refused OBJ that.
Since then, OBJ turned to opposition against PDP with focus against President Jonathan.

OBJ's "My Watch" is a book meant and timed as a campaign material for the benefit of the opposition APC.

If not for the ridicule it shall bring him as a former president who abandoned his party for the opposition party, OBJ would have since joined APC when it dawned on him this time that he could no longer afford to select and impose a presidential candidate on PDP.

WHO TAKES WHAT IS WRITTEN IN OBJ'S "MY WATCH" SERIOUS, EXCEPT APC PEOPLE?

But obj is still a PDP chieftain you lnw? If all these are not true why were the 5 PDP Govs begging?

KINGPIN26:
Are u sure u nid enlitement? Its plain to c. What i'm sayin is: I'm nt sayin that jonathan is a beta choice 4 Nigerian but surely, Buhari is nt a good choice 4 APC

Your statements are incoherent. Choice for APC or Nigeria? then who is and justify your reason?

Please read this from obj "My Watch" according to a nairalander..

Have you Read Obj "my watch" ?

18 Critical Things Former President Obasanjo Said About President Jonathan In His New Book

"In the area of corruption, we have been going back steadily from the inception of Yar’Adua’s administration when the ‘hunter’ became the ‘hunted’," Obasanjo states. "Under Jonathan we seem to have gone from frying pan to fire. If in the past corruption was in the corridors of power, it would seem now to be in the sitting room, dining room and bedroom of power."

In his scathing new autobiography, My Watch, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo made a series of critical assertions against current President Goodluck Jonathan.

Due to the nature of the content, an ally of President Jonathan attempted to use a court order to block the publication of the book.

President Jonathan also personally contacted the former president to appeal that the book not be published until next year, after the 2015 presidential election. Despite this My Watch launched yesterday, Dec. 9, in Lagos, in the presence of prominent political figures and officials.

Review of the three-volume text by SaharaReporters noted that the elder statesman holds nothing back, characterizing Mr. Jonathan as weak, callous and incapable of managing Nigeria.

He also criticizes the handling of the Boko Haram insurgency crisis, the PDP, and the Governors Forum, among other things. Excerpts from some of the most significant critiques are below.

On President Jonathan's character:
Jonathan is lacking in broad vision, knowledge, confidence, understanding, concentration, capacity, sense of security, courage, moral and ethical principles, character and passion to move the nation forward on a fast trajectory.

Although he might wish to do well, he does not know how nor does he have the capacity to. To compound his problem he has not surrounded himself with aides sufficiently imbued with the qualities and abilities to help him out.

Most of them are greedy hangers-on or hungry lacklustre characters interested only in their mouths and their pockets

President Jonathan can still make amends to save himself, many of his associates in government, his government, and the nation. If, in the end, he fails he will have no one but himself to blame.

He has great opportunities, many of which only come once in a lifetime; and if he misses them it will only be due to his inadequacy, myopia, personal interest and self-aggrandizement, lack of sagacity, wisdom. I hope he can and will avoid having any cause for regret.

The longest period that I have met one-on-one with the president was for one hour and ten minutes. That whole time, the president talked about nothing that was in the interest of Nigeria; instead he kept pointing out his supposed enemies and various matters that would not serve his interests.

I could not stop myself from blurting out: “Mr. President, no Nigerian should be your enemy. You have to rule over all of them whether or not they like you. Please, you have to be like rain falling on good and bad people alike.”

An elder statesman who formed a close relationship with President Jonathan very early in his presidency came to the conclusion, after six months, that the president has not got what it takes to lead.

It was the same elder statesman who reportedly tried to jolt the president into action by telling him that there were five presidents in Nigeria, and these were his wife the first lady, Deziani, Oduah, Ngozi and the president himself, and that he was the weakest of the five.

On corruption:
In the area of corruption, we have been going back steadily from the inception of Yar’Adua’s administration when the ‘hunter’ became the ‘hunted’. But under Jonathan we seem to have gone from frying pan to fire. If in the past corruption was in the corridors of power, it would seem now to be in the sitting room, dining room and bedroom of power.

If what is called ‘corruption’ is stealing, under the watch of Goodluck Jonathan, then government has become legalised and protected robbery.

The presidency had instructed EFCC to remove a vital document in Gbenga Daniel’s file in their custody, to assist getting Gbenga Daniel off the hook. All these cases were reported to the president and were known to him; but because they involve the president’s interests, directly or indirectly, no action has been taken.
With the 2011 elections, heavy financial prices were paid to Lagos and Ondo State opposition political leaders to secure the vote for the president, against the interest of PDP at the state level...

The situation where the president surreptitiously invited Bola Tinubu, lifting him at night by presidential aircraft from Lagos to Abuja to hatch a plan for Bola to support one PDP presidential candidate at the expense of all other PDP candidates for any office in Lagos, can only be described as obscene, unethical, corruption-ridden and a show of bad leadership...W

hatever amount of money was given to Bola Tinubu to procure votes for the 2011 presidential election in Lagos was, to say the least, unnecessary. What made this phenomenon particularly bad was that government had raised the money from government transactions which fuel corruption.

I got a warning that this administration was attempting to induce two of my daughters, including Iyabo, to do a dirty job. I warned them both against it, but because of her character, the influence of her mother and her attitude, Iyabo succumbed; the other daughter did not.

On the Boko Haram insurgency, the insecurity crisis, and #BringBackOurGirls:
I was in Sierra Leone on the day Boko Haram [bombed] the UN building in Abuja. As soon as I returned to Nigeria I called the inspector-general of police to hear his views on the issue. I was not impressed with his explanation.

I also talked to the then national security adviser and his explanation was substantially blank. I went to Jonathan, the president, on the same issue. His reaction, and his view that Boko Haram were ‘a bunch of riffraffs’ left me even colder.

The one incident that overtly and graphically exposed the ineptitude, ineffectiveness, inefficiency, carelessness, cluelessness, callousness, insensitivity and selfishness of Goodluck Jonathan was the abduction of about 276 school girls from Chibok in Borno State by Boko Haram.

The reaction and attitude of our president and his household was non-belief, to the extent that 18 days passed before he grudgingly concede to accept the reality of the abduction. If serious action had been taken within 48 hours, the story could have been different.

I was not surprised that the president went dancing twenty-four hours after the Nyanya explosion that took seventy-five lives. I also found believable the statement allegedly credited to the president after both the Nyanya explosion and the Chibok school girls abduction to the effect that since some people in the North had said that they would make Nigerian ungovernable, they could keep on killing and abducting each other.

If these girls are not released, it will be a big dent on the presidency of Goodluck Jonathan, and a dark blot on Nigeria’s reputation and history; and, for years and indeed decades, Nigeria will continue to live with the agony and memory of the action and inaction of leadership regarding the Chibok school girls.

But what is more, a bad precedent would have been created; Boko Haram has tasted blood and will always want more… Who knows, another group of terrorists might have learned from Boko Haram. This time it is Chibok; next time it could be Ibogun or Otueke.

Vice-President Biden had categorically told Jonathan during the African Summit in Washington in August 2014 that with the state of his governance and the level of the destruction of the military, they would not be able to help Nigeria.

On PDP and party politics:
A political party, and its leadership, that condones corruption and engages discredited people to abuse and insult genuine, authentic and objective critics is a political party on the path of ruin and destruction.

The PDP must be rescued from that path, otherwise it will soon fade into history. Criticism, particularly objective criticism, is an indispensable element of democracy and a democratic dispensation.

PDP would need to be brought back to being a well-led, disciplined and respected, harmonious party that can easily win elections, rule and govern, and not one sacrificing the party’s interest for personal gain, setting governors of the party against each other, supporting candidates of other parties against candidates of the party as it happened in Lagos, Edo and Ondo States, and harassing credible leaders of the party and seeking to replace them with criminals and dubious characters in order to further presidential interests.

On the Nigerian Governors Forum election crisis:
Two governors from the [PDP] - Liyel Imoke of Cross River and Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta States - and Godswill Akpabio from Akwa Ibom State by himself, came to me in Abuja, appealing to me to intervene in the situation of the Governors’ Forum, particularly in the disagreement within the PDP governors.

Akpabio said starkly in his frank and outspoken manner: “We have messed up and don’t leave us alone. For me, I don’t want to go to jail and my children are too young. I will report our meeting to the President.” Nobody, including President Jonathan, would like to go to jail, and he knew he could, depending on how things turned out or failed to shape from then on.

I have always seen the Governors’ Forum as a type of trade union as they behave that way most of the time. [Jonathan] told the story of how Obong Atta was relieved of his position as chairman and Lucky Igbinedion was enthroned by less than fifty percent of the governors, and of how Bukola Saraki manoeuvred the Forum to serve his presidential ambition

Lets stop arguing. 2015 is just around the corner.

I swear you morons are the reason why we are laughed at internationally. As clueless as the shoeless president. What's buhari got to do with this. Are you telling me u lack the fundamental faculty to reason? No wonder they say we are fools in Nogeria, just cos of people like you. Moronic TANdroids.

12ema:
I couldn't read your post. . it wasn't loud enough, make it bigger. But on a serious note, there is no reason why an event should be like that even if people are still there. Nigerians have grown up to be dirty so we all think it is normal. the blame is both on government to provide adequate waste storing points and also on the citizenry to be disciplined enough to know not to litter. where i live, you are taught to keep trash on your person until you find a trash point. littering has a price tag of 500 euro. That is how it should be.

Shut your trap. U should come to waterloo on Dec 31st in case you are in the UK and see how dirty that place will be on the morning of Jan the 1st. How can u expect a place homding thousands of people for two days not to be dirty when they will eat and drink there. should they put the nylons and plastics in their pocket?? M.orons..

Now I can see Nairaland and the moderator of the Politics section are capricious in campaigning for PDP with the rate threads attacking APC and GMB make FP even though they all include senseless infos..

If you support the change come 2015, please share this all over the politics threads...

I was scrolling through thr local channels and for a split second the dial stopped on STv and the Pepsi top 10 music chart was on air. To my bewilderment, a supposed 16 year old was wining and grinding with her buttocks on the crouch of one of this artistes. And we keep wondering why the society is rotten when this multinationals are busy sponsoring immoralities all over the media with "very" little on education and null on research. I smh for the future of Nigeria and I just wonder what the way out to building a better and morally cautious society will be..

pls do find your way to the LG headquarters where u registered, with your TVC or some other valid form of I.D, they'd serve u. If u envisage u'd change address before D-Day, pls go to ur destination LG headquarters promptly for assistance. We have a duty to peacefully give vent to our frustrations with a party/govt/candidate that has taken national embarassment to BASE LEVELS.

What if u just want to register? As INEC has ensured 60% of electorates in my area not be registered due to few polling boots serving thousands..
