delvinmaya: succintly put @beaf,but you have to realise there are people dead or hurt now who are innocent. Okupe has not done anything wrong in askin rufai to bring forth ideas. Some pple here say its the sole responsibility of gej,yes it is,but lxk someone asked, do you want him to lay waste to the northern region? Cos its the same you who would accuse him of infringing on rights. During the menace of Anini,do you think the authorities just woke up and arrested him? Some patriotic citizen was behind it. So if rufai knows how to end this boko haram,he should say so,and stop sounding like a broken piano. @beaf,no lele bro,you are on point

Simple as abc.

Rewind...

Beaf: Imagine a man from a certain village.
Imagine the women and daughters from his village being ra'ped by armed robbers who are also from his village.

No, picture that man jumping in glee each time there is a violation. Now draw your conclusions about the man who rather than profer solutions to the violation of the women in his village, screams "keep away from 2015 or no peace!"
...In the meantime, yet more daughters and women are ra'ped by armed robbers who are from his village.

That man is El Rufai, he is IBB, Ciroma, kaita and the other core-Northern elite vultures that see the innocent blood of even women and kids as tools to coerce positions in the 2015 elections.
Core-Northerners have suffered enough under these beasts.

delvinmaya: @beaf,insults flow from your mouth like the water used to bathe you when you were born,those i called senile were those calling you 40 man brigade,and your daft self decide to pick quarrel wit me. What happened to the phrase enemy of my enemy? Gosh,you make me wonder. @least i agree with you on el rufai. But your character online makes me wonder bout the real you.

My apologies, bro.

Can we pay El Rufai to become a Nigerian citizen with a stake in the country? Lol!
Whose people are being killed daily? I would like to know.

I can't imagine leaders from any other part of the country acting as shamelessly as the core-Northern ones. They have bought themselves into headship of their people whom they have now enslaved. The El Rufai's of this world do not think their people are worth progress, but only see them as political tools to be bombed away in their vain struggle to extend the pall of enslavement they have cast over their own people to the rest of Nigeria. We tasted it in the past, and we spat it out.

delvinmaya: @beaf,Am not going to reply to your rantings this nyt. I merely asked you why you could demean yourself,and you still went ahead to do so.

And I merely called you a fool.

^
I wonder how adults like you fail to make sense.

reindeer: Fantastic. So the GEJ government now admits it is out of ideas and now begs the opposition for ideas?
A little bit of honesty from the camp of the clueless.

Are the opposition Nigerians? Or are they from Chad?
Dude, you sound daft and clueless. If you deny that you have a stake in Nigeria, then you are a saboteur like El Rufai at best and a traitor at worst.

delvinmaya: Am confused with some things here. 1st i keep reading bout 40 man laptop brigade,are people here senile and childish that they have to resort to name calling coz of a person's view? Makes u no different from boko haram. Secondly El Rufai keeps blabbing his mouth around and yet he has failed to proffer a single solution,and he is living in the past. Of what concern is it to us that he clamoured for gej to be made president during the yar'adua saga. Thats like telling me the story of how Abraham almost sacrificed his son. A wise individual once said yesterday is gone,peter rufai,so el rufai better get that into his skull. @beaf,you sef don dey gree say you be 40 man brigade,u no be man? Abeg hold onto your belief n views,anybody way dey vex fit jump in front of moving train.

When people read this sort of drivel and rightly call you stup!d, you will begin to take offense like a dispossesed nanny goat.
Don't post when you have nothing to say, it only reveals emptiness.

Boko haram is a political tool to the likes of El Rufai and that is why they behave as if they are not from the region being affected by it.

Just a couple of days ago, the Arewa spokesman, Antony Sani asked GEJ to make a public announcement that he wouldn't contest the 2015 elections in order for peace to come to Nigeria. Incredible!
Quite clearly, El Rufai is of the same mentality, otherwise he would have responded positively to Dr Okupe's suggestion, afterall it isn't Dr Okupe's kinsmen who are directly affected. Indeed, it is quite strange for Southerners and foreigners to care more about the boko haram scourge than some of the shameless core-Northern elite like El Rufai do.

wrexs: @Beaf...and why should the citizenry be the one solving the problem for the Government. what is the essence of having a Governement if they cant solve /profer solutions to problems threatening the lives of the people that elected them into power? Being a C-in-C gives such person the power to take decision that protects his people and not begging/intimating oppositions for advise or even pointing fingers at them...if you cant handle it, simply quit.

Your argument is that of an enemy of Nigeria.

The fact there there is a President does not stop each of us being patriotic. Even worse, it is not an excuse for subversives, desperados and lovers of the status quo like El Rufai to shout gleeful alleluya's each time a boko haram bomb takes another innocent life.

If anyone wants to be an observer in our own country, then they might as well apply for a Chadian or Sudanese passport.

The enforcement of this law will surely drive ethnic bigots to out and out insanity! Lol!

Corruptions biggest weapon is ethnic bigotry, so any battle against corruption must also take aim at ethnic bigotry.

kingoflag: How long did it take you to check the dictionary for the meanings and spellings of the words you used above, eh, Mr[b] "LITTERRACY"![/b]

Abi you want make I revive the thread from yesterday where you wanted to accuse people of being less literate than yourself, yet you didn't know how to spell the word?

LMAO Hopeless dunce!

I don't check the dictionary, bruv. I am gifted (I don't think clueless, red-eyed El Rufai surrounders understand those words though). Lol!
Please sit still while I stir the akanmu and egusi soup netween your ears. Allow me to forcefully railroad your primeval mind unto the evolutionery tree.
Lil id!ot boy, I've got you firmly in my sights.

Like all El Rufai surrounders, your stup!dity flows like a fountain.

Mr red-eyed Rufai. Dr Doyin Okupe simply asked you what solutions you profer as a Nigerian with a stake in the country, instead of being a loudspeaker of bad news like a subversive.

Sir, prove that you are more than simply a winshes hero. Prove that you are not a boko haram hurrah singer.
That can't be too hard, can it?

texazzpete: What does this have to do with 'Fresh Air'? This is just the NUC following laid down process for awarding some post-graduate scholarship. Quota system still exists whole sale in University admissions and Federal Government colleges. It still exists 100% in federal appointments.

You do not have to politicize everything. Shower praise on the guys at the NUC if they stand their ground (you don't know if they will buckle under pressure at the end) if you must praise anyone.

I have not seen any american hailing Team America's Olympics Gold haul as a dividend of 'Change We Can Believe In' or any of Obama's other campaign slogans.

Don't be silly. GEJ announced the programe earlier this year.
There is also another programe for scientific research and R & D. GEJ just does his things calmly and quietly.

Don't let failure and desperation make your eyes pop out, bruv. Don't let winsh behaviour wreck yor mind.

[size=14pt]Jonathan inaugurates committee on scholarship for best brains[/size]

https://www.channelstv.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Dr-Jo.jpg

President Goodluck Jonathan has inaugurated a committee to scout the nation’s tertiary institutions for the best 100 first-class students that will be given scholarships to further study abroad.

Inaugurating the Special Committee on Scholarship for Best Brains in Abuja, on Thursday, the president instructed the ten-man committee to completely eschew the quota system in the selection process and go for the best brains.

The committee is expected to select the best 100 first-class students in some specialized courses such as the sciences, engineering and economics from universities in the country and expose them to the best facilities in the world.

In a bid to encourage and enhance knowledge transfer, beneficiaries of the scholarship after their graduation, are expected to lecture for the first five years, in the nation’s institutions, after which they can go on to be on their own.

The President, who is a doctorate degree holder, condemned the dearth of academics in the nation’s tertiary institutions, where only 60 percent of lecturers are doctorate degree holders.

President Jonathan noted that such a situation must change if Nigeria is be transformed.

He charged the committee headed by the executive secretary of the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC), Professor Julius Okojie, to shun quota system and work only on merit in the selection of the brains for the scholarship programme.

According to the President, for Nigeria to maintain its status as a leading African country, and for the transformation agenda of the government to succeed, the government must pay more attention to the development of human capacity.

To this end, he pledged a total commitment to changing the educational system, across all levels from primary to tertiary.

New Ambassadors

The President also on Thursday received the letters of credence of three new ambassadors to Nigeria.

The new envoys are Mr Tagelsir Mahgoub Ali of Sudan, Mr Paul William Lumbi of Zambia and Mr Antonio Da Graca Correia of Sao Tome and Principe.

President Jonathan welcomed the ambassadors to Nigeria and assured them that the government would work closely with them to improve and strengthen the already warm relations with their countries.

The new ambassadors expressed appreciation for the reception, and pledged to pursue mutually beneficial cooperation with Nigeria during their different tenures.

naptu2: This is why I want Ecomog reactivated and involved in the hunt for Boko Haram members. From what I hear, he slips into the country from Niger Republic and slips out again. I heard the SSS almost got him earlier this year, but he had slipped across the border again by the time they got to where he was previously hiding.

Interesting stuff, so my conjecture might not be far off.
I quite agree with your ECOMOG idea, however it would have to be a brand new body, with brand new military treaties, because Niger is not a West African country (like Chad, Burkina Faso and cameroon).
What would be better would be for Nigeria to greatly modernise our military so that we can project dramatic levels of force across West, Central and Northern Africa. Our virtual borders should really be Egypt, Tunisia, Kenya, Uganda etc.

maclatunji: The Federal Government is stealing the idea. It was one of Buhari/Bakare's campaign promises for the 2011 Presidential election. They should give credit where it is due.

You've started lying again.
Enforcing the provisions of the law was part of GEJ's campaign promises.

This is GEJ in 2010:

I read your complaints about the Settler/Indigene dichotomy and many of you are calling for a constitutional amendment to solve this issue, however, the truth is that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has already abrogated that dichotomy for the simple reason that it does not recognise any difference between the two , sets of people. If there is a difference as some insist, it is only in their minds and we must as Nigerians begin the peaceful processes of rebuilding the foundations of our citizenship. As far as our present Constitution is concerned, ALL Nigerian citizens are indigenes of any part of Nigeria. And our history is replete with a demonstration of this fact. For example the Great Zik of Africa won an election in Ibadan. Malam Umaru Altine was the first elected Mayor of Enugu and Felix Okonkwo (known as Okonkwo 'Kano') was a member of the Northern Nigeria House of chiefs. Since there is precedent for it in the past, we have to remove the glass ceiling in our minds that still believes in the Settler/Indigene dichotomy. Under the Nigerian Constitution, there is absolutely nothing stopping any Nigerian citizen who has taken residency in a state, town or ward from participating in the governance processes of that State, Town or Ward including contesting elections if the individual fulfils the constitutional requirements of residency and tax payment. If Nigerian immigrants can win City Council elections in the U.S, mayoral elections in Ireland and most recently Parliamentary seats in the British House of Commons, it should certainly be possible for a Nigerian with ancestral origins from Sokoto to win an election in Port Harcourt and vice versa. As I said, the Nigerian Constitution permits it, there are precedents for it and the only thing we have to do is to give effect to our constitutional rights which speak to our unity and our collective aspirations for peaceful co-existence and greatness.

Ayam from Lagos. In short, I own Lagos.

Lol!

--Beaf sharpens up for 2015 Lagos governorship campaign--

kingoflag: Sure, illiterate buffoon.

Doesnt it say a lot about GEJ that he has barely educated gremlins like yourself defending him to the world?!

Anyway, below is your answer. Illiterate!



Beaf, Can you comprehend now or you still wanna run around naked in the market place braying like a Jack-A*ss?

I really feel sad and sorry for you. How can anyone be such a cataclysm of clueless idiocy as you are?

Mystery!

texazzpete: Dear Laptop 1,
I can't see anywhere in the tweet that indicates all 27000 plots were dashed out. Care to point that out to me, o wise one?

Of course, you wouldn't agree armed robbery was a crime if that was your job. Same thing here, you are protecting theft, because its what pays your bills, even if the poor and less powerful suffer.
El Rufai, by his own words, is corrupt and wicked.

freegaza: Naijapundit headlines....Elrufai kills his son...elrufai slaughters wife...[size=42pt]elrufai is boko haram sponsor....elrufai is a thief and criminal[/size]...elrufai elrufai...[s]You guyz are making him look innocent and popular foolz[/s]

Damn right!

texazzpete: Lol.
All he's saying is that out of 27000 plots he approved, 8 were to members of his family.

In percentage terms, that's 0.03%.

Are you dolts seriously construing this to mean he's 'corrupt'?

This is far less fishy than out of all the thousands of villages in Nigeria, a contractor chose to build a church in GEJ's village of Otueke. I didn't see any of you clowns complaining then

Dude, I think you are too stup!d to understand English. Read the shiit again and seal your putrid, corruption supporting lips this time:

[quote author=Ki-Katanga]The NEPA rate is far below the German rate, but any Nigerian paying for a generator is paying more than a German pays for mains electricity. The difference is that in Germany, they are running their fridge, their freezer, the washing machine, their tumble dryer, their computer, their TV, their lights, their hoovers, their broadband, their cooker, their oven, their microwave, their blender, their shower, their stereo, their air conditioning and some, even their cars off of it.

In Europe we pay very little per unit of energy, we just use a hell of a lot of it.

In Nigeria -- you pay more than most Europeans per unit energy, but you can't afford to use it for anything but the bare essentials.

The reason I talk about power per hour is that power per hour is energy.

In Europe we have monthly energy bills that would make you weep. But you pay more to turn on a light in Nigeria than in Germany.

Oh and I've been on the ground and have family in Germany, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Jamaica and the UK so I'm pretty well placed to compare them.[/quote]You are making no point, bro. Your arguments are increasingly woebegone and marooned.
All you are doing is tripping over your own tongue when you argue that we shouldn't be happy because electricty supply is getting steady, yet you tell us how expensive it is to run a generator. Its either hypocrisy or sour grapes.

Stay in your Germany, harness your strange thought processes and bitterness in the elections over there. Nigerians are quite happy with the improvements. Thank you.

lookmangiw: all anti-GEJ and opposition should retreat on this one. the 40 lappy squad are really having a field day. make una no worry as long as we are still under GEJ government, we would always have things to criticize. it just a matter of time.

Spoken as a true winsh.

cjpanta: To be very frank and unbiased, power has improved, though I wouldn't say that it calls for a celebration, but the fact remains that we have to encourage the people incharge. It is only when someone who is trying is encouraged that he/she would do well. Obviously, we are not yet where we should be, but that doesn't mean we should not appreciate the effort being made.
I also want to disagree with our brothers in the diaspora. Rome wasn't built in a day. There was a time when other countries were at this stage. You have to count 1 before 2. Generation doesn't just jump from 2000MW to 4000MW. It is a gradual process. Also they should remember that all these equipment used for this are not even manufactured in this country, so our pace will be resonably slower than countries where they are produced. And we should also bear in mind the decay in the system is a factor. Most of these equipment are either outdated or completely non-functional.
Then for people who say that power increases during the rains, I will not doubt that but am sure this is obviously not the first rainy season in Nigeria.

Let the truth be said: We need to encourage our leaders in areas where they are doing well and also offer constructive criticism in areas where they are stumbling. That is the only way forward

I would disagree with them. They are washing plates abroad and taking the frustration out on Nigeria instead of on the plates they are washing.

mapet: I was about saying the same thing. We get so easily swayed by media blitz that we will soon be back to square one. This same thing we are celebrating now had happened b4 when we set a target of 6000MW only to receed to 3000MW.

We are currently in raining season and [size=14pt]water level at Egbin is high.[/size] If this spike is sustained through dry season is another thing. This is a cyclical thing in the last few years; electricity availability higher in raining season.....

Meanwhile what are we celebrating. Food for thought - As at 2003, South Africa was over 45,000MW, taken it to almost 60 before World cup.

Look at this fool.
Egbin is a gas powered plant in Lagos.

Where is the next fool that gets news from akara sellers and vulcanisers?

K-legged cow.
Baby monkey.
Nematode.

nasty45: funny u knw when i look at yur comment i can tel u a YORUBA man...u talk alot and u'r easily fooled.u strike me as one wu wud threaten wit words buh run wen the time comes....tis ppl like u that can easily be fooled,@OP DID I JUST READ THAT THIS FEAT WAS ACHIEVED ONLY IN GEJ'S TIME?COME ON,THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WR NO POWER OUTAGE IN NIGERIA,SO AT WHAT MEGAWATTS WERE WE THEN?

So what if I am Yoruba or not? Just make your non-point and phuck off, bro.

Lol! I see some people questioning N30billion for Ondo elections. Sorry, but this is chicken change for desperate thieves like Tinubu where an oil producing state is the price.

Tinubu's phantom 60th birthday cost 2billion anyway, so what 30billion, but peanuts for the purchase of an oil state and the enslavement of its people for unquantifiable personal gain?

2billion birthday cake:

mariousroi: The government should have done much more in tackling Brazen corruption in this country.Femi Falana or Festus Keyamo should be heading EFCC not Policemen in my opinion.

I trust Festus Keyamo, but Femi Falana comes across as a corrupt man simply waiting for an opportunity.
