GEJ have missed it completely,even serious minded ibos that love this country will not vote for GEJ.One ibo man in my compound was still lamenting what happened to him and his family during the fuel subsidy removal.The man normally calls him PRODIGAL SON

This is not what they call mayhem,this is two fighting or three fighting

GEJ need another set of advisers,GEJ started this year wrongly,may God not let him end it wrongly,if you like him help him to amen!!

odumorun 1: I strongly disagree with Wole Soyinka on this.

The furore regarding the renaming of Unilag is elitist posturing of the worst kind, dressed up in the garb of democratic protestation. This has nothing to do with anger that the council of the university was not consulted. The university and its senate and governing council do not fund the school. The school is funded by the federal government from the federal purse representing millions of hardworking Nigerians most of whose kids will never enjoy the benfit of a university education let alone a prestigious one like Unilag.

The storm in a tea cup is another example of middle class Nigerians, particularly yoruba ones (the most snobbish and self regarding version and yes i am a Yoruba) refusing to be associated with a person largely revered by the poorer classes. The same happened when Uiversity of Ife was renamed in 1987 in honour of Obafemi Awolowo, when a few hundred students largely of middle class origin demonstrated their objection, while the poor people in the town, carpentars, shoe makers, tailors and others who benefited from awo's reforms celebrated.

This is all about a few priviledged and educated yoruba people wanting to retain what they see as an eleitis label placing them apart from the majority of the population whom they secretly despise. If the school had been named after Barack Obama would they be protesting, even if it was done without consultation - Of course they wouldn't - they'll probably be fantasising about getting an easy visa ride in the American embassy.

Wole Soyinka is a radical and progressive Nigerian but his elitism is a well known flaw which is why he has never inspite of his undoubted courage been able to buod a mass following for his ideas.

Unilag is funded by the majority of the people of this country, not the students or their lecturers. Most ordiany Nigerians respect the sacrifices people like abiola made - they, not the spolit middle class kids kicking up a fuss in Unilag are the majority. The noisy minority in Unilag should be ignored. they will son go back to their Ipads

If they don't like the name when they receive their degrees let them rip them up. They don't own the school, the people do -i've not seen any demonstrations in mushin, shomolu, bere or sabongari against it.

If wole is not happy let him write a poem about his fury. He is a great man, but on this occasion he is wrong

Listen to yourself once"UNILAG is funded by majority of the people of this country,not the student or their lecturers"You mean the student of UNILAG are not Nigerians and their lecturers are Chinco.I cannot comprehend who is monotonous between you and GEJ

Amosun please and please dont embark on this project now,there are lots of amenities that masses need.Water is not regular,Power is main problem,there are still more roads that need expansion.To me this air-conditioned pedestrian bridge is a luxury

Assuming GEJ first splash the school fee by 35% and now change the name believing me,no protest,no hullabaloo.But he(GEJ) has nothing to offer,he just want to get point politically!

chippyripp: Reuben Abati explains why The President didn't say Amen to Anti Corruption Prayer

Abuja– Spokesperson for President Jonathan Ebele Goodluck, Mr Reuben Abati, has responded to accusations that Jonathan and members of his cabal refused to say amen to at this weekend’s democracy day Church Service when the preacher offered a prayerful curse against corruption amongst public officials.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Abati revealed aspects of protocol that are not widely known outside Government circles, and which would explain why Mr President and ministers didn’t say Amen to the prayer by Most Reverend Peter Akinola, committing corrupt politicians to the court of God.

According to him, it is a long standing presidential protocol that during Church or Mosque services, the President only offers a fixed number of amens or amis, as the case may be.

The Reverend had offered many prayers and demanded many amens prior to the contentious one, Abati explained, the result of which was that the day’s quota of amens had been used up.

“Why?” asked the spokesperson, “would President not say amen to a prayer against corruption?”

He advised preachers, pastors, imams etc, to familiarise themselves with government protocol and to also limit the length of their prayers and sermons.

“It is the same people accusing the President of not saying amen to anti-corruption prayer that would be accusing him of favouritism if he had broken with protocol and said more amens than is allowed by constitution,” Abati said.

Naija much Respsect!!! Loooooooool

Bros,why u want sentence Abati

[quote author=Wily+Wily]The people that like insulting Jonathan are mainly Yorubas, it was a shock to them that Ijaw man is the president, they couldn't believe their eye, the shock have caused them Brain malfunctioning.[/quote]You are a student of psychiatric high school,and you are wasting your talent here,you suppose to be on the street exhibiting your madness.If you dont know,Yoruba voted for GEJ en-mass

Abagworo: It might or might not be tribalistic but the office of the President should be revered. I don't think you will find it funny when ordinary Church overseers like Oyedepo, Oyakhilome, Adeboye and co are insulted not to talk of our President. I'm a GEJ and PDP critic but I will never insult the President.

You might not know,what they called insult is that CRITICISM you mentioned

[quote author=ndu_chucks]@OP, go and pay these officials the N5,000. You will spend much more than that and suffer in many other ways, otherwise.

Those that gang up to sack Siasia will be crying by now,and this is not the time for them to cry

kingoflag: Everybody trying to absolve themselves before the Khaki Boys strike. We hear you loud and clear, Baba, and we appreciate that you left us Billions of Dollars (and Cleared the debt) which your chosen one has since squandered, but you're still also as guilty as the rest of them. Sorry.

This is a comment from the spirit

Scissorshand: I think Obasanjo was the chairman of PDP's BOT.What did he do to ensure a systemic fix to the electoral process of his party,to ensure that the right people get to elective offices.As a president,was there nothing he could have done to give us a transparent and better electoral system?It's easy to point fingers,but what did he do when he was the most powerful man in the land?Probably,if he writes an open letter to GEJ,suggesting what he could have done to better the electoral process,policies that will improve our lot,etc,(abi,really,whats there to hide?),then we will know he truly means well.Rather than casting aspersions,he should remember,he was the president that oversaw(directly or indirectly) the process that gave us this present group of leaders.He should take responsibility, and propose solutions.

Dont mind him,that is what they called "had i known",when he was president he was carried away with self-interest and greediness.Obasanjo would have been the one to fix this country,if not for greediness and personal interest."God really favored him but he did not favor himself"

Baba Obasanjo,you too are not clean

lacasa: Those in the North, South-West, South-East, South-South, Middle-belt, thinking of 2015 in 2012 are either idiots or fools or both.

We are not thinking of the imppact of subsidy cabal, we r not thinking bout bombs going off here aπϑ tђεя̩̥̊ε aπϑ Ђδω τ̅o stop it, we are not thinking bout Ђδω our government is going from bad τ̅o worse τ̅o worst,

Some are here laying claim τ̅o 2015 presidency.

May God punish both the politicians aπϑ the people who are involved

Useless people!

The answer to your questions is to stop GEJ before this country turn to Somalia

supoade: Former Bayelsa State Governor Diepreye Alamieyesigha has advocated for the legalisation of bunkering in the Niger Delta.
Alamieyeseigha said foreigners are the masterminds of bunkering in the region.
He urged stakeholders to prevail on President Goodluck Jonathan to issue licences for the legalisation of bunkering.
The former governor spoke at a ceremony in honour of the late Ijaw hero, Isaac Boro, in Yenagoa.
He said: “There is one thing happening in our area now. I read in the papers about oil theft. About 17 per cent of our production is taken away.
“Our people are not sophisticated enough to go into high-level bunkering. The bunkerers are not here. In the whole oil industry, how many Ijaw people are lifting oil?
“To address the poverty that is so endemic among our people, there should be licences for bunkering.
“The Ijaw man is not yet emancipated economically. The fight is not over, we must be economically liberated.
“There is a thin line between economy and power. They complement each other. My brothers and sisters, let us unite. We should obtain licences for bunkering.
“We have a president of our own, we have a minister of petroleum, who will stop us from obtaining bunkering licences?
“Ask, it shall be given, knock it shall be open. No need to go behind the door. Let us confront our brother and get what we want for our people.”
Alamieyeseigha extolled the legacies of the late Boro, whom he described as the architect of the survival of the Ijaw nation.
“People must look at those areas that we have been impoverished and fight for it. We know that nobody will give you power on a platter of gold; you demand for it, you fight for it. It is our own,” he noted.

These are the reasons while GEJ is not performing...this is one of his advisers.INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL!!

Fati99: Wow, so many attempts. Thanks everybody but in my opinion geosegun is the closest and quite a number of people agree. At least I can always say "Thanks for being patient or thanks for your patience, the MD will see you in a moment". He is deserving of the recharge card.

Geosegun, please post the phone number/email address you would like me to send it to asap. Thanks. Once again, Thanks everybody.

I agree with you,but in case of someone come to your party this is more meaningful "Thanks for coming"

My question is,if GEJ can use this amount of money on food,how much is his salary

berem: this is serious! but wait o! are they just knowing dat he is incompetent? i had known dat he is an incompetent mumu since the day he was elected as deputy governor of bayelsa state. smh! this is serious! but wait o! are they just knowing dat he is incompetent? i had known dat he is an incompetent mumu since the day he was elected as deputy governor of bayelsa state. smh!

Are you from bayelsa

LeoMax: THIS CPC IS A CRAZY POLITICAL PARTY, WHAT DO THEY SEE IN THIS BUHARI THAT THEY THINK CAN WIN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IN WHICH COUNTRY ? BUHARI THAT DOES NOT EVEN CAMPAIN NATIONALLY. WTF IS WRONG WITH THE OLD MAN CALLED BUHARI, IBB IS SILENT YET BUHARI AND MAN CRYING IN PUBLIC IS INSULTING OUR INTELLECT, AND FOR THE FOOLISH CPC, WHO ELSE SHOULD BE APPOINTED TO HEAD THE OIL AND GAS SECTIONS IF NOT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND DIE TO FEED THE WHOLE NATION

You cannot defend your brother(GEJ),best u can do is to abuse general Buhari.Remain small,very small that you will be expose!!

confusion everywhere

PDP is the corruption that is sucking this country

Mahatma Ghandi: As I read the thread I burst in uncontrollable laughter,I believe this report is just a tip of the ice berg,more than 60% of nigerian politicians are sociopaths,the most painful part is that these guys will go scot-free...In nigeria the so called good men have decided to do nothing,n this is the price we pay.

Any good man that join this group of PDP,will become worst.GEJ is a very good example

Bestbby: Ok, buhari go take jonathan's seat, if u guys think it is easy, den let fowl start urinating *click my tongue**

Mind you,if Buhari is our president people like Tinubu,Bode George,Gbenga Daniel,Dimeji Bankole,Alao Akala,Lucky Igbinedion,Vincent Ogbulafor,Ibrahim Yerima,ALAMIEYESIEGHA,Ahmed Makarta,Atiku Abubakar,Obasanjo etc will be in prison.Nigeria of today its only Gen.Buhari that can jail all these criminals

PapaBrowne: An assemblage of Dogs and Baboons!!!
When the violence starts, the only reason you would be spared is if your have an Islamic name!

Someone that has no political sagacity is talking about rigging. In the freest and fairest election, even if PDP fields Ibori for President he would trounce Buhari for the simple fact that people prefer thieves to terrorists!!

I would choose a thief over a terrorist.
I will choose Ibori over Buhari!

It is high time for PDP members to know that their days are numbered.All these tricks are not working again(religious,tribe).

OYINBOGOJU: See typical Nigerian Man.

He fear to fight for freedom
He fear to fight for liberty
He fear to fight for Justices

Come 2015 he will run to polling boot after collecting a bag of rice and 5 yards of ankara.

For where,they are not giving them a bag rice,a bag of rice can be for 50 people,that is what they eat for 4years

LeoMax: WHAT IS THE CRIME THIS PRESIDENT HAS COMMITTED ? STOP INSULTING A PRESIDENT WHO WAS VOTED IN MY MAJORITY IN THE BEST ELECTION IN NIGERIA HISTORY. NIGERIA'S PROBLEM IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE MILITARY AND HAUSA INDUCED CONSTITUTION WE USE. IF NIGERIA OPERATED ON TRUE FEDERALISM FROM INCEPTION, GEJ ADMINISTRATION WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST. WITH THE WAY OUR CONSTITUTION IS MANGLED, EVEN JESUS CHRIST OR MOHAMMMED, CAN NOT MAKE THIS COUNTRY WORK, INFACT MAKE JESUS CHRIST PRESIDENT AND MOHAMMED FINANCE MINISTER, IT WONT WORK, THE CENTRAL SOLUTION IS REVENUE SHARING FORMULAR, FEDERAL TAXABLE RESOURCE CONTROL IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED FOR EACH UNIT TO STAY ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT AND THE CENTER WILL BE LESS ENTICING. THE ROOT CAUSE OF BOKO HARAM AND MEND IS REVENUE SHARING, MY WORD AGAINST YOURS.

From your comment,i see you as a failure,who believe change is not possible

sleekman: Buhari speaks the mind of true and just Nigerians. True Nigerian leaders were never really loved. Ahmadu Bello, Awolowo, Ojukwu and now Buhari. Only force/violence can change the present structure as we have it now. Where exactly can one go to seek redress? What part or organ of government is functional? Is it the Executive, Legislative or the Judiciary?

Thank you my brother.Majority of us want change,but we dont ready to pay the price,change dont come easily.Gen Buhari keep bully enemies of this country.

GEJ is the most useless president i ever see,listen to number one of a country

Rotty32: Hello Mr. Tunde Bakare,
Seriously disappointed in you as church leader. Can you now see the mess you find yourself.
You should be ashamed have anything to do with Buhari.I wondered what you teach the church
Member.

Members of the church of Pastor Tunde Bakare are not fools like you,that dont think before you talk
