^^not one of your brighter posts, if there are any.

Jonathan is a good man, a great Nigeria, but not the right man for the job.

We need a leader that can not be intimidated by anyone on this planet, a leader that can make his own decision, a leader that completely understands the importance of unity, a leader that has records of great accomplishments, a leader that is tough like a dragon, a leader that can clearly express himself and more than anything else, a leader that has a complete respect of all Nigerians.
Jonathan is not this leader; For the love of God, Mr president should step down immediately!

Right from Sahara reports:

What we need is a respected and fear Leader

The problem with Jonathan is that from day one of assuming office as the President, he did not pull up his big boy pants and show the elite class that their is a new cherrif in town. Instead he continue to appease them and bow his head just like he use to as their errand boy. These people did not waste any time in twisting and molding him as they're pleased. Nigeria is in the same state it is now as during the leadership vaccum created by UMYA sickness. This President is just assuming the name nothing more, those in the higher rank in PDP are in charge of what should be in the country.

If for ethnic reason this man is allow/elected to continue in office God knows we are in for a terrible ending as no one from the top respect the man.

goggs:
the problem will not likely be solved with division if we have selfish leaders. Look at some states with relatively fantastic allocations but terrible mismanagement, look at others will less and seroius development going on. While separation may sound appealing, its not the magic wand to solve our problems. Its an attractive option I am gravitating towards but I know unless fundamental changes are effected our resultant countries or regions can be as small as Liberia and yet be killing ourselves or be as big and complex as South africa and yet be stable and prosperous. THERE IS NO MAGIC BULLET

babyface12:
You kinda sound like the literal meaning of your ID's name, y u come they "beaf" now?? "A saying goes, if na pure water u they sell, be the very best at it and I tell u, u'd leave a mark on History, long after you're gone, where ppl will say, "there lay the remains of the greatest pure water seller",my point: using the word "There is no future for most making the mistake of jumping on the Oracle bandwagon these days", sounds rather harsh, "Oracle DBA" may or may not be losing it's validity, nevertheless, I think if u're very good at what u do, there's always a bright future ahead of u.

babyface12:
, bros! if it was 41% in 2005 and 48% in 2007/8, would u call that a decline? and correct me if am wrong oo!!, the demand for oracle certificates where even higher in year 2005 wey the thing never increase to 48%, na logic now, it doesn't have to be 99% b4 it can be viewed as "progressing",

BetaThings:
Which court convicted Ogbulafor, Osuji, Sunday Afolabi and even Atiku. If you believe that Atiku is wanted anywhere, invoke the extradition treaty. It has been used against Ibori. EFCC people have been going to UK to testify against Nigerians

There is no difference between Ogbulafor and Madam Patience. The cases are still being "investigated" But Johnathan does not think Ogbulafor can head a party, but Patience can live in his house

BetaThings:
At least let him come and read the FB comments to us. At least that would be in furtherance of his "Bring the Book Back" Campaign
And maybe his FB friends (who must be dying to see him silence Atiku) will prevail on him to lean on the party to arrange the debate

blacksta:
it is inconsequential -whether he had a planned visited or not -but really it is shame to have chaos in 21 states of the country. I thinking this issue is too much for GEJ to bear. why not just resign as he has dully expressed to the U.S envoy that he lacks the mantle to revive this nation.

It is clearly looking obvious as predicted by the CIA come 2015 Nigeria will be no more.

Akainzo:
Obviously, you lack comprehension. From the states will come over 1500 (with each state contributing), then add the NASS assembly members, you'd get over 2000. That is the meaning of my post and it clearly stated that there are more than 2000 delegates to decide who wins the PDP ticket.

This is against your assertion that the primaries is a waste of time as only a few dozen delegates from the states would decide.  You clearly would lie being Beaf if that would get you support for GEJ.

Vigilante:
@Beaf - your geo political zone does not matter? But your man is jumping from one ZONE to the other getting endorsed.

chuks01:
beaf i will like to know wat geo political zone you are from in this country before i comment on you.

Akainzo:
Beaf, it is now CONFIRMED. You are a LIAR!

See my above posts and see what you posted below.  You lack the knowledge of Maths and you lack basic understanding.

Beaf, you are such liar! The PDP primaries is made up of over 1500 delegates from each state of the federation and the elected party members in the National Assembly ==> Over 2000 delegates!

Akainzo:
And this was made in the presence of someone who is promising free and fair elections, whose campaign slogan is transformation! Transformation my foot, Anenih can NEVER be part of any transformation and thus a stooge like GEJ being his accomplice can never carry out any transformation. If this weak president wins, we are gonna be in dire straits in Naija.

[size=14pt]2 PDP Members Launch Legal Bid to Stop Atiku[/size]
•This is mockery of judiciary, says campaign organisation
From Tobi Soniyi in Abuja, 12.21.2010

A day after associates of Alhaji Abubakar Atiku went to court in a bid to stop President Goodluck Jonathan from contesting in the 2011 elections, his own candidacy has also become a subject of judicial battle.

Two-time gubernatorial aspirants in Adamawa and Taraba States, Mr. Bala Takaya and Senator Abdullahi Kirim, respectively yesterday asked an Abuja High Court sitting in Maitama to issue an order stopping Atiku from contesting in the presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

They are inviting the court to move in their favour on the grounds that Atiku is disqualified by both the PDP’s constitution and the 1999 constitution to seek election into any elective office in the country on account of his alleged antecedents touching on corruption.

By the fresh timetable released by the secretariat of the ruling PDP last week, the presidential primary is scheduled for January 13, next year.

The two plaintiffs who want Atiku barred from presenting himself for the political party’s primary election alleged that the former vice-president was dismissed from the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on account of corruption and the findings in February 2010 of the United States of America Senate Permanent Sub-Committee on Investigations/ Committee of Homeland Security and Government Affairs which investigated him on allegations of money laundering and other corrupt practices of some foreign officials in the US which indicted him.

They argued that his dismissal and the recent indictment by the US were enough grounds to disqualify him since both the nation’s constitution and the PDP constitution forbid anybody with such dirty record from contesting election into elective offices.

Besides, the two aggrieved politicians are also seeking a separate court order compelling PDP to probe and verify the various allegations of dishonest practices including alleged receipt of $2 million bribe from Siemens AG through his wife.

They asked the court to come down heavily on him if found guilty of the allegations.Takaya and Kirim invoked the original jurisdiction of the Abuja court via a writ of summons.

Although the case is yet to be assigned to any judge for hearing, the plaintiffs have, in the interim, filed a motion on notice for an interlocutory injunction restraining the PDP from screening or clearing Abubakar to contest the PDP’s presidential primary.

They are also asking the court to issue another interlocutory injunction restraining Abubakar from presenting himself for screening or clearance for the presidential primary.

In the suit, only the PDP and Abubakar were named as defendants.Detailing the reasons why they were involving the court to stop Abubakar from contesting the poll in a 31-point affidavit, they said his emergence as a president in the country would draw the nation backward.

[size=14pt]For instance, the plaintiffs averred that “between 1969 and 1989, Atiku Abubakar rose to become the Deputy Director of Customs and was dismissed following the findings of a panel of inquiry that recommended his dismissal.[/size]

“That in February 2010, the USA Senate Permanent Sub-Committee on Investigation Committee of Homeland Security and Government Affairs carried out investigation on the money laundering and other corrupt practices of some foreign officials in the USA in line with the strict moral code and integrity within which that country operates.

“That the findings of the said Senate Committee showed clearly that Atiku Abubakar was the source of the over 440m dollars brought into the USA over a period of 8 years (2000-2008) through more than 30 accounts and both questioned the nature and source of Atiku’s wealth as well as found that the allegation by the SEC that Ms Douglas received over $2 million in bribe payments from Siemen AG intended part for her husband cannot be dismissed.

“That the report showed how Atiku along with his fourth wife, one Ms Jennifer Douglas Abubakar, an American citizen , engaged in acts which have thoroughly embarrassed Nigeria as a country.

“That Atiku was invited by the Senate Committee for questioning but that he declined the invitation.[size=14pt]“That since he was invited for questioning by the said US Senate Committee, he has never set his foot in the USA for fear of being arrested.

"And that Atiku Abubakar’s spouse, Jennifer Douglas-Atiku has also relocated to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and has not set foot in the USA since she appeared before the US Senate Committee."[/size]

Meanwhile, the Atiku Campaign Organisation told THISDAY on phone last night that the case was "ridiculous". A spokesman of the organisation said the court case "is a mockery of judiciary. We know where this is coming from and we are surprised that President Jonathan will lend himself to an abuse of court process.”
Atiku has consistently denied allegations of corruption, insisting that they are politically motivated.

BetaThings:
Atiku is not a thief.
Otherwise you are saying that Johnathan (president, commander in chief of the armed forces, appointer of attorney general) does not have the gut to prosecute him. He did it to Ogbulafor with evidence. Let him bring the evidence against Atiku. Otherwise let that camp remain quiet about this matter

BetaThings:
No, we don't. Otherwise why will Anenih threaten people who may want to vote for Atiku
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-577128.0.html

Why will a state governor stop Atiku from meeting delegates from his state.
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-577187.0.html

Yet these are people speaking of peaceful change
What will happen when they are meeting people from opposition party

jabbok:
We? you and who? Guy drop that rigging mentality. Any Nigerian who declared to run for the presidency is a potential winner. Even our own mama Sarah is a great contender. Anything can happen unless the result has already been penciled down somewhere

BetaThings:
Confirmed! The man you defend and your "humble self" want a community of imbeciles. A pig wants everybody to join in its puddle where, of course, it will excel at its favourite game for which God  has given it unassailable talents

Akainzo:
Beaf, Like I said in another thread, your raking is like someone that learnt ABC from the rhymes of his neighbours kids. He knows the rhymes but has no idea what they mean. I am sure you know 1,2,3 in studied in Maths but don't have a clue what the numbers stand for. [i]Simply admit that you lied! [/i]The PDP primaries is not made up of a few dozen delegates but over 2000 delegates. Ok, your neighbours kids had no rhymes for thousands  

chuks01:
if a thief will give the igbos the presidency come 2015 then so be it cause jonathan had already promised to give the north back power 2015.he has not plans for the igbos.

Akainzo:
Beaf, you are such liar! The PDP primaries is made up of over 1500 delegates from each state of the federation and the elected party members in the National Assembly ==> Over 2000 delegates!

Is it that once you want to make a point in support of GEJ, your brain takes a [i]Leave of Absence [/i]or is it that you are traditionally clueless or too lazy to check for facts? Abeg, try and brush up your knowledge of things before you take on others on public forums (at least read up your GEJ facebook posts )

BetaThings:
How come you are from a country of so many daft and silly people. It means it runs in the country - from the president down. Your resort to mutual silence in the face of undemocratic tendencies is worrisome. If anyone makes an eloquent case for intra-party debate, then let set the standard. Why should PDP - with an intellectual candidate run away from debate because some other parties are not doing it. Afterall, PDP should not lead only in rigging, intimidation

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-577128.0.html

BTW, when will the "saintly" Johnathan arrange for his beloved, patiently-greedy wife to have her day in court for that $13.5m money laundering case of 11 Sept 2006 - forget the Ribadu's absolution from prosecution-induced recant. For a patriotic Nigerian, you must be concerned about this sum given that is 10 times the amount for which Ogbulafor was removed from office as PDP chairman. Madam does not have immunity. And Oga should continue that fine tradition of making his assets declaration public. Or is that fresh air now so fouled that light cannot be beamed upon what is around it?

oyb:
dude, are you scared?

the other parties do not have different thieves fighting do or die for the ticket

thats only within pdp,

anyway, lets see what gej is really made of, when he does not have prepared speeches for you to spam nl with

beaf the chicken  

who knows what gej will say under pressure - i am a spokesman for mend  

The former vice-president’s campaign train, however, received a major shock as Ebonyi State Governor Martin Elechi reportedly barred them from visiting the state.

He was said to have directed Ebonyi delegates to avoid any meeting with Atiku.

oyb:
perhaps, gej is always quiet because, like beaf, he becomes a street thug when cornered

maybe he too will start running his mouth and making an even greater fool of himself than his most ardent advocate

oyb:
the last time i checked, there was a country called nigeria. all nigerians , not just 'pdp members' have a stake in the nation's future.

a debate is one of the first ways to identify what candidiates really stand for,  and how they are under pressure

all this meandering and blathering says one thing - gej cannot live up to your hype

no one to ghostwrite debate points the way its done with  fb posts

and from a president who is running his mouth on education etal, what better way to start

a smart, capable  president with smart, capable  backers would see this as a golden opportunity to showcase his intellect etal

i guess those traits must be lacking, or maybe the cupboard has way too many skeletons that can be summoned
