Genbuhari3:
beaf

thanks.

Soyinka's problem is not with Bakare, they have had issues which has been manageable. and Bakare did consult him before he accepted to run with Buhari.

Soyinka's major issue is with Buhari. he has refused to look beyond the bad of the man to his good side which outweighs the former. being a human right activist i expect him to, as Buhari did commit human right violations in 1983.

But people like wole soyinka has refused to understand that the youthfulness of one and the occurences of the times determine how that person manages the situation. I doubt if wole soyinka, at his age now, can seize a radio station with a gun like he did in the 60's!

And that is my problem with Ribadu, Ribadu is young, but arrogant, he has not tasted power at the highest level and if he does, he will repeat same mistake Buhari committed in 1983. we can't forget how EFCC stood and arrested alams when he was impeached by members who never formed a quorum, same also goes for dariye in plateau. good intention, but done without regard to law.

This is why i am with Buhari. I grew up with my father when he was in his late 60's and I was lucky and i adore my time with him. but my elder ones will not say the same, they have a mixed feeling because he was extremely hard on them. You become more wise with age and your actions tend to be more diplomatic, genuine and considerate. This is what Buhari stands for, and his response to ACN when they claimed bla bla bla proved that.

Gbawe,

Buhari had 12 million votes, 11 states in 2003! so he has always won states not wards.

If I were you, I would support Ribadu (even better, GEJ); since that sort of character attracts you. Buhari should be in either jail or the gallows, if not that our system had been "anything goes" before GEJ's advent, he whouldn't have had the opportunity, guts or freedom to contest any office in Nigeria. The man is a criminal. Expect that gate to shut forever after April, that he didn't get an honour at the Independence ceremony is a stark pointer. That man must go to jail for his crimes; from treason to murder.

Orikinla:
The most populous state in Nigeria Lagos state is the most indebted state of the federation with a total foreign debt of N55.38 billion ($369.20 million), according to the Debt Management Office in Abuja, Nigeria. Lagos has 20% of Nigeria’s sub-regional foreign debt stock.

Can the governor of Lagos state explain this?

He cannot. He refused to run as VP, because he was scared that his contracts would be used against him.
That said, we must give it to him for showing visible performance, however thats no excuse for profligacy and mortgaging future generations of Lagosians.

It would seem that so much tax revenue has been raised only to subsidise the acquisition of choice assets by powerful ACN members. Lagos seems to have been sold to a few people and the money is oiling a new mafia that is sophisticated and dangerous.

10cirenoh:
YOU ARE A GOAT, wetin concern me with "news paper government" as the article clearly puts it? show me the real work in the states and not the ones on the newspaper you this rotten molue engine.

You are such a clown, but then NL has a way of springing surprises each time science reckons that the peak of stupeedity has been reached.
You asked for proof of what GEJ did for Bayelsa, I gave you rock hard, incontestable proof of not only planning and implementation, but clear vision as well. And what do you do? You get angry like you're gonna die!!!!!!
The truth is like nivaquine sha.

Na wa o! Anyway one has to wonder what the dimwits in ACN were thinking of that they had to narrow down all of their research to one state (guess which and whose). Where are the results for other states? Hehe!
ACN is beginning to put Ciroma to shame with their disgraceful ethnically bigoted politics. . .  I'm sure there's something you're dying to say, go on then, say "***chukwu" so that you can be confirmed as the ethnic bigot and shallow pit you are.

Genbuhari3:
Not surprised at all.

he has never been in good terms with Buhari and Bakare. so his best bet is Ribadu despite the fact he knows the man cannot win a ward in the north!


But we wish him well in the endorsement

Next!

Doh! Was Soyinka not in SNG with Bakare?
Did they not stand shoulder to shoulder at several rallies?
This is the very worst indictment against Bakare. Soyinka knows the mans politics more than we do, and he isn't impressed.

Ribadu is a million times better than Buhari, its just that his candidacy is premature and unrealistic this time.

Good news! One less thief in the country. However, there needs to be renewed and sustained pressure on the criminals tha think they can steal with impunity.

Abagworo:
I expected this since he de-camped from PDP to CPC a couple of days back.

Funny claim. Is he the only one to have left PDP?
Anyways, PDP seems to be doing a good job of purging bad practices out of its system and the party has been haemorrhaging criminals who are fleeing to parties with lesser morals.

Pataki:
Just perhaps I assumed wrongly of you, how old are you? I have seen re*tarded dwarfs and under-aged dim-wits playing the same game you are throwing up right now. 'Repeated use of baseless and useless argument' to silent the glaring truth. It is so lame and stale.

Goodluck must be scratching his bald head for his public gaffe in Ibadan, and unfortunately for him, the people of South West know he is a clueless man riding on ''luck'' to be the current president of Nigeria. Never in the existence of Nigeria have I seen a man and president as Jonathan who cannot take decisions as a MAN! Nigeria does not need a man Wikileaks openly exposed stating how inadequate he is for the position he is currently holding.

Dude, you are the dimwit for defending a drug pushing rascal. This is so bloody funny!!!
GEJ gaffed we know, so what? Is someone gonna die?

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=603027.msg7708832#msg7708832 date=1297383364]If he is found with cows even in his state, he should be shot. Or there are no farmers in Sokoto? This has nothing to do with states. This is purely property rights.

If a Fulani man wants to buy a 1000 hectare estate to wander his cattle on and graze, fine by me. At that point, it is his property, he can do whatever the fck he wants.

But even in Sokoto, you should not violate property rights.[/quote]Property rights is one area where Nigeria is backward beyond belief. You need to read the land use act and weep for the country.
It is the duty of each and every one of us to fight for the upholding of individual property rights, it is difficult to fathom how the FG can claim to own all undeveloped land. The land use act is part of the reason for the nomadic menace from cattle rearers.

When a man equates the life of a cow with those of several humans, what worth is he to society?
The FG needs to view these herdsmen as a security threat, nobody knows where some of them are from (Chad, Niger, Sudan etc) and in this days of bombings, with the low cost of human life to them, they would form easy recruiting grounds for terrorism, even suicide bombing.

Nomadic herding MUST be eradicated in Nigeria.

[quote author=Abu-Maryam link=topic=603027.msg7708642#msg7708642 date=1297381438]You have to look at the other side of a coin, banning them is not the solution more especially with our inept government, The truth is, the government should give them what belongs to them, grazing areas and put eyes on them, thats all!!![/quote]What sort of joke is this? Its strange the way you think the same govt that siezes land and waterways in the ND to finance the country should turn around and hand land to Fulani herdsmen. You got jokes dude!

I say, ban the fvkers from their stone age nomadic lifestyles, give them id cards, restrict them to their states and let their state govs give the wretches land to graze. They can't keep wandering across Nigeria and killing people (even babies) like they barbaric hoards without the slightest inkling of morality and civilisation.

If any Fulani herdsman is found with cows outside his state, he should be shot like an armed robber.

[size=14pt]Chengdu J-20[/size]
Behold the Chinese rival to the F-22 Raptor and T-50.

Given its traditional policy of aircraft manufacturing, China will most likely create a functional analogue of foreign-made 5G planes that will cost 50% to 80% less than Russian and U.S. models. China will most likely sell the plane in Central Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Southeast Asia, as well as to the richest African countries.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=602406.msg7707992#msg7707992 date=1297374956]Well, Since Nigeria is not ripe enough for a sweeping knife-them-all Revolution. I'll concede that any democratically elected leader will need to work with at least a few of these laggards.

But working with them or accommodating them while you push for change will be easier if they do not have the kind of influence they seem to have in PDP. People like Anenih, OBJ, Alams(I consider him a nonentity small fry though) and a host of other establishment career kingmakers have too much power in PDP.

I want GEJ to work on getting rid of those f.ools. They believe Nigeria belongs to them and their descendants and if you understand how addictive power is, you will realize that preaching to these people or tolerating them will not change that mindset.

I've read about the PIB, I'm glad Shell and co hates it( I like almost everything Big Oil hates)but I will wait for it to pass before I celebrate, actually I will wait ten years after it's implementation before I celebrate.

I'm not really worried about those initiatives. I'm sure GEJ can pass a few bills and ruffle a few feathers but you and I know that our country needs revolutionary, radical, structural changes. I'm not convinced GEJ will be allowed to make those changes. I'm not sure he's radical enough to resist those who benefit from the status quo.

I may be wrong, but I believe i've studied my country enough to make some informed guesses. This is a win-win situation for me, even if I'm on the wrong side of history, I'll still be happy If GEJ can radically change Nigeria. For the sake of my people, I hope I'm wrong about GEJ.[/quote]I feel you, but a revolution is not what you expect from the ballot box; you get that if you are lucky (like Chavez and Venezuella). A revolution is also a thing that has ugly sides and could flip either way. At this point in our national evolution, a revolution will most likely give way to wanton bloodshed and despondency; it will be Jos times a million.

GEJ is a very quiet person, the type that plots silently; so he would never fit in the usual mould of radical or revolutionary; rather, we will simply notice that while no one was looking, a lot of things changed.
He is the exact sort we need to deal skillfully with the criminals in high places, and to his credit, he has won every single battle against them, not with the usual Nigerian display of power and aggression, but with persuasion, triangulation and intelligence. As they say, GEJ is the type that can convince a monkey to leave banana's for good.

The fact that GEJ is a gate to new possibilities is beyond dispute. In so many ways, his coming on the scene has raised the bar in politics, from responsible and transparent primaries in PDP to deference to law courts. More than all of the above though, is the uprooting of the cabal; they are now running to and fro in search of a political home, they ran from IBB to Atiku and are now congregating with Buhari. The cabal is the biggest impediment to Nigeria's development and the fact that they are in a battle to the death with GEJ is my overarching reason for giving him unflinching support. The cabal must be uprooted from our political landscape and decimated, GEJ is the only one placed to do the job by fate, destiny, disposition or geography. Talking about true federalism, development and the defeat of corruption without the routing of the cabal is really a waste of time and effort.

Something must be done about Fulani herdsmen. It is time to end their nomadic lifestyle, we don't live in the stone age anymore.
In every part of the country, they live fvked up lives; robbing traders on the highway from Asaba to Onicha, Lagos-Benin expressway, killing and burning women and babies in Jos, killing in Bauchi and now Benue.

aisha2:
Abeg no kill me with laugh, i have been accused of laughing in another thread, dont make me a criminal laugher abeg. Beaf- Nsiman- Mary-J -blige has already asked me to defend my laughter abeg, make i no laugh before i will get banned.

Kai! Aisha! How can you help the likes of blacksta propagate the falsehood that Beaf, Nsiman and Mary-J -blige are the same person. You are a mod na! And you can easily see that we aren't.

Anyway its funny. And I kinda like feeling omnipotent!

Pataki:
You are pathetic. Even a not-so-smart goat knows when to sit still. If Tinubu bothers you that much, take him to court.

I personally do not care about Tinubu. He is not the current governor of Lagos State. Your grievance against him does not bug me. What I rather find offensive is a serving president who suffers 'rascality' of the mouth and is a shame to the Nigerian populace.

He should be kicked out from the seat of presidency, and I pray he continues to make this mouth rendering gaffes. Facebook is a platform to show how intellectual writing can appease to people, but apparently, it is very glaring that he does not have intellectual decorum in open public discourse!

Enough to the Party Destroying People of Nigeria (PDP)! Goodbye to goodluck and his ilk of thieves and murderers.

Some peeps claim to have morals, yet love drug lords? Wonders! Anyways, here is the rascality proving document again:

afam4eva:
It's not just about that. He's made so many blunders that can be forgiven but not forgotten. He's just not capable of running this nation.

Ok, we have noticed you cluelessly blowing in the wind. Next personal problem please, auntie is here!

KBrown:
@ Gbawe
No, not yet the SSS. I am an ordinary citizen of this great country, Nigeria and I have tremendous respect and love for my leaders especially trying ones like GEJ. All I am telling you is to slow down a bit. Every man has his limits. Even if Jonathan chose to ignore un-appreciative folks like you, you can honestly not over-rule the possibility of an over-zealous SSS agent tracking you down, giving you what you called the "Lamido treatment" and shutting your running mouth for good. Yes, we all crave freedom of speech, but decorum should not be thrown over-board.
A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Gbawe is a known agbero that is both foul mouthed and ethnically bigoted to the President. He is also very sparing with the truth; it makes you wonder if he ever had any morals.
I really wouldn't bother about him, because its a waste of time.

TewMuch:
Was GEJ president in 2010 or not. !!! Ole barawo banza! Make una return the money. Chai! Nigeria has suffered, too many daft people at its helms.

Why can't you talk to your governor about what he did with his federal allocation? Or are you from the Sahara?
Your state probably generates zero money unlike Sokoto, Lagos and the ND, but you are here shouting about monies given to you lazy leaches.

Becomrichn:
what type of silly question is that. what does your wife beaf  has to do with.  In nigeria you can win an election without a wife or 10 wives. wife dont mean anything in nigeria politics.    this is the only way he can win. politics is like chess. you play the game.

there is no way, nigeria would not go into civil war. the south believe if the north get power, it would not return back to the south. the north held on to power for 40 years. that is the major problem.

i have said divided the country to resolve this. and remove fear. it solve this. if not jonathan should start packing his bags to bayelsa state.

the fulani/hausa are not going to vote for him. so why give them the VP. it is not possible to eat your cake and have it. they have to ask which want do they want. presidency or vice president. They cant have the two at the same time. from the look of thing. the only way jonathan can win is to drop the vice president and replace him with a yorubaman. this is his only option to win.

See this bushman o! So I can't ask after your wife as your very good friend?
Don't let me show you what soap does to the eye's o!

Instead of telling me how your wife is, you start talking rubbish about "north get power" and "fulani/hausa".
Olorun maje! Becomrich, how is your wifeeeeeee!

Ok then, You know I won't vote for him because of the people sorrounding him, it's a matter of principle, and frankly he does not need my vote if he's with the owners of Nigeria in PDP.

But if he can work with the right people, be strategic and get what You've been explaining about True Federalism done, I will forgive him. seriously

Make we dey watch sha. . .[/quote]Anybody you vote for will have to work with the exact same people GEJ is working with (maybe even a worse crowd), so out goes your principle. But, I must say I understand exactly where you are coming from, but the World (especially Nigeria) isn't black and white.

I'll say to look at those areas GEJ has silently changed despite the crew around him, and there have been some Earth moving changes. Who ever believed that one day the almajiri would be getting set for Western education? Who ever believed that a President would have the temerity to stare the likes of Shell in the eye and dare them to a game of blink? All oil contracts have been suspended until the PIB is passed. Nobody else sought to bring such defining changes to Nigeria's economic landscape; please take time to read up on the PIB and what it means for the country. GEJ will be remembered as one of Nigeria's greats, cos he is the first to put us firmly on the right path to self belief and development. Don't waste your vote, also spread the word.

TewMuch:
I didnt even see your response. GEJ is not responsible? You are really crazy ooh. Who is the CEO of this country? He is responsible for every kobo that leaves the nation's coffer's. I know you are paid to spew some daft poo, but Beaf, you are the dumb for that statement. Your oga needs to return the money. Awon Ole. See rascal. Una don do magic with money and dem don use am oil your mouth small that na why your mouth dey slip these days. ,

Dude, did you drink milk as a child? Cos something is very wrong here. Your answer qualifies as one of the daftest set of words to hit the internet. Damn!

You mean GEJ should leave Abuja and take responsibility for governor Sylva's actions? What was your IQ again? I can bet you are jealous of fishes!

jason123:
Okay, guy, your APGA is an igbo party but ACN is not. Iwela would probably be the VP candidate and Chris NGIGE is in the party so ACN IS NOT A TRIBAL PARTY!Period.

ACN is a Yoruba party, same as APGA is Igbo. What are you arguing about?

Pataki:
You do not come denigrating your opposition party and expect that you would be commended for it. You guard what you say in public, that is the rule of the game. Goodluck made an outstanding blunder and for that he deserves to apologize if he is gentleman enough. He has lost any credible stand with me though. And I definitely know whom I will be campaigning for passionately forthwith. A man who ascended the seat of presidency by ''luck'' and does not have the commanding initiatives to lead this nation in the right direction, he DOES NOT deserve to return in April 2011. Nigerians, your vote matters and Party Deceiving People (PDP) should be flushed out. 12 years of national bondage is ENOUGH!

And for that ignorant gnat bringing Tinubu into this thread, could you please create a more appropriate thread if you have issues with a 1993 document? Do you think Nigerians are as daft as you?

Damn! So you find the year the offence was committed in to be offensive, you also find my posting hardcore evidence of rascality here to be offensive. . .But you don't find Tinubu's drug peddling offensive? Well I never!!!
Please take another look at the scumbags history and tell me you really don't give a toss about drug pushers, barons etc?

Here comes another rumour mongering dunce that forgot to learn to read.
GEJ is not mentioned even once in the article, neither is any year he was gov mentioned. Why una like lie?

As for true federalism, I hope so; but, we are best waiting for detailed manifesto's, which in turn will depend on the security situation in the country. True federalism is still anathema to some sections.

10cirenoh:
The state GEJ governed for 2 years and how many years was he the Deputy?

For that 2 years, what did he do? connived with his wife to steal $13 million right?

First of all Jonathan was governor for 14 months, but those who wish to be deliberately stupeed somehow lose the abilty to count.

As for the good stuff GEJ did for Bayelsa, read articles like this one, they are specially suited to dimwits: http://www.modernghana.com/news/315823/1/why-tourism-is-bayelsas-next-gold-mine.html

DaLover:
*the SW is to important to be left in the hands of* ignored statement
*Rascals* the hype of the moment,

though I cannot claim to be in GEJs mind, I can swear on my life that he will never try to intentionally insult anyone directly, remember him receiving insults from Atiku, and not responding, remember the insulting treatment from yaradua click, remember the insults recieved from Alams pple in bayelsa, and not bordering to respond, he simply is not that kind of guy,


Fashola is doing some good work in lagos, but can never be the president of this country, and y, because belonging to a tribal party deny's him of this previlege.

Don't mind the jobless folk that want to burst veins over an obvious gaffe, like it is something that will kill them.
Na desperation sha. Most Nigerians are worried about where the next meal is coming from and don't give the slightest damn about who GEJ calls a rascal.

The man is human like everyone one else and is bound to slip every once in a while; but trust ethnic bigots to make a meal of it and begin calling him names like ***Chukwu (bits blanked out, because I will not blaspheme - the name translates to called God a fool). Shows you how "clever" some people really are.

Ibime:
$30bln wasted with no accountability.

And some fools want us to vote for this despicable abhorrent Ali Baba and his 40 thieves who sits in Aso Rock and fritters away the nations wealth like he did in Bayelsa.

Was GEJ governor in any of the years mentioned in the article? No.
You guys aught to be really ashamed.
