@Solomon,

Why should I come and state what GJ has not done, when supporter like Beaf and yourslef can not tell Us waht he did while he was a governer. Let us continue playing these childish games and not grow up politically. Maybe someday your kids will ask you this same question, probably then you will answer.

@Beaf,

I dont hate people, and have not reason to hate GJ, like I said he is my Brother, but I choose to speak the truth and not delude myself with cheap tricks and false promises. And by the way I fail to see how a rottern fish in Okro soup will taste any difference in Egusi soup. PDP represents pure evil and I dont see how GJ can be effective in a cesspit of filth, besides He lacks the intellectual ability and vision to drive Nigeria where I think we should be today and possibly tomorrow. Let him go and rest

I don't know what you're going on about, all we have asked is give simple PROOF to what you are saying, otherwise they are mere beer palour assertions. Create a list of arguments and BACK them up with facts. If you can't, it comes out as hatred, cos you are simply labelling an innocent man in the hope that it will stick.

What are the cheap tricks, okro soup, egusi soup and whatever? Make a case that has backing.

Let me make my position clear again. I dont know who I will cast my vote for yet. But I know that I Will NOT vote for IBB - Never. I am still watching the other candidates, GEJ inclusive. In my mind, GEJ can win this election EASILY and FAIRLY if his campaign is managed well. But trying to bulldoze him on us on our beloved Nairaland site is not fair.  He surely will do better without folks like Akala who equated his name to JEGA and[b] beaf who is taking it personal when asked just a mere question[/b].

I wish GEJ n Nigeria all d best of lucks.

Dude, you talked about me having a "paymaster." Perhaps you don't realise that is an insult. If you are honest enough to check, you'll find that things went downhill from about that point. So please, stop this new found holiness. cos it isn't honest.

You might not have made up your mind, but mine is firmly made up and nobody is gonna railroad me off my decision. If you don't like it, don't go personal, lets have a mature argument.

I am sorry Mamma-gee. Just felt like giving someone a dose of his own medicine. Rmba u tot us.

You're just angry, cos you've been bested. You desperately want to complain about Jonathans time in Bayelsa, but have no complaint to make!
. . .Em, how exactly does that work?!

Its simple, if you think he missed a trick in Bayelsa, tell us about it.

Pastor Ola:
I wish President  Goodluck & Vice President  Sambo The Best of LUCK.

Abi o! They did very well today.

janus05:
OHHHH. Some feathers have been ruffled! I see someone who is ego ridden. Beaf, u can be better than Bill Gates if u like. Just answer the question - "what did GEJ achieve as a gov?" Thanks

Dude, that is simply proof of how foolish people can be. Someone comes along and says with people like me, Nigeria will never develop, but here I am with tonnes of technology just pouring out freely and I'm also willing to give away stuff freely as well.

Lesson - don't say foolish things because you are losing an argument. Stick to facts.

@Beaf,

How can I have any hatred for GJ, when based on sentiment he is from ND just like me. But I choose to be real, and say it exactly how it is. He is not able or capable. And I would rather we Nigerians start maturing politicaly and choose wisely than let childish sentiments cloud our judgement. By the way you didnt answer my Question.

What did GJ do in Bayelsa state as governor, and dont give me that bullshit that he was there for How Long

Oh come on! Everyone knows you hate Jonathan. Who cares where he is from anyway (or does that have something to do with your hatred?).
If you think he didn't do well as governor of Bayelsa in the months that he was there, simply tell us how.
You guys are just masters of giving a dog a bad name and making claims without proof.

afam4eva:
With people like Beaf,i wonder where Nigeria is heading.

[size=21pt]Dude, this is my website; http://afrosciencecommunity.com
I am doing much more than several of you can ever do. Lets leave that aside, cos you lose there as well.

I'm fcking brilliant and not stingy with it. What are you?[/size]

It is offending to us and annoying
Isn't this annoying too

Have a dose of your medicine

We all had a go at defining mumu a few posts back. One definition included making claims that cannot be backed up.
Dude, back your claims up or hide. If you can't, you are the liar, agreed?

monkeyleg:
@Beaf,

Why dont you start with what he did as Governor of Bayelsa state?

For how many months was Jonathan governor?
Even then you can tell us what he didn't do (if you have genuine queries about his time in bayelsa).
You don't make sense most times because, you have an undiguised hatred for Jonathan. Thats why you aren't rational.

afam4eva:
@ Beaf

Pls can you give me one very GOOD reason why i should vote a jonathan in. I said very GOOD. Probably something he did when he was in bayelsa or while a vice or president. Pls i need something concrete.

Nobody does anything as Vice President, what would you say Sambo has done, or Atiku did? Setting impossible scales, is a known trick to prompt a particular outcome. . . Not working here.

I will give you something very good he has done as President. He removed out deadwood from the NNPC, made it accountable for the first time in its history and kicked out the petrolem shortage mafia that governments since IBB have found impossible to deal with. The direct benefit of this is that for the first time in decades, fuel can be bought at the official price and there is no scarcity; the benefit of this is immense to businesses and homes, cos they make massive savings in fuel costs.

janus05:
You just mentioned one mumu now. Your Paymaster!

I've been itching to do this. . . How can any non-mumu choose a name like [size=21pt]j[/size][size=33pt]anus[/size][size=21pt]05?[/size]
Never go personal when you are losing an argument, it will only get worse.

janus05:
A mumu is someone with no opinion of his or hers. Somebody who is easily pushed into something, pushed around or over if u like. Does GEJ fall within the confines of this definition?

monkeyleg:
Political prostitution is so rife in that country, they give u 5000 naira, you come here are start talking rubbish.

How about, a mumu is somebody who makes big claims that they can't (or never) back up?

chyz:
I type something big but erased it because clearly you're not serious. I know you're just drunk off of GEJ's presidential declaration.So i'm giving you that benefit of a doubt.

I am not. This Africom issue was started by Yar Adua, because he thought it was a way to control rebelion in the Niger Delta. I am not going to tell you more, go find out how things went for yourself and what they are now. Cheap conspiracy theory websites will not help very much, Africom has a website and you should use sites like www.stratfor.com. You will learn a lot; conspiracy theory websites cause the mind to decay, cos they play on insecurities.

Now what was that big thing you were about to type, cos my howitzers are cocked and ready.

afam4eva:
How much did they pay you. I'm asking because of the way you're singing the praise of this obviously mumu Nigerian.

You say that because Nigerians are used to being kicked around and treated like dirt by their rulers (not I said "rulers". When we get a smart dude who is a gentleman, we call him "mumu."
Here is a guy whose motorcade was wilfully blocked by some dude in Abuja. You know what, that fellow was taken to court as would obtain in any civilised country; in the past, he would have been beaten to death on the spot and his family would never have seen his smashed body.
Jonathan is a very welcome breath of fresh air. We can see the way he takes decisions, with perfect timing and wisdom.

If I was to ask your reason for calling him a mumu, I am sure there will be nothing concrete.

The US is not interested in capturing our oil. They just wanna fck up any hidiot that thinks they can prosecute a war on the ND and slow the flow of oil. They've got GEJ's back.

GEJ really showed so much charisma today. . . Such an impressive specch without notes. There is something special about this man, he is fresh and untainted; quiet and intelligent, he rules with wisdom, just what we need.

There is hope at last!

Fulanis like the yorubas but the yorubas are not budging.

The way there is fulani-hausas the fulanis want to make it yoruba-fulanis but the hausas dont like that.
I was in bida, Niger state when I realized that fulanis have a liking for yoruba muslims maybe because the yorubas are more intelligent than hausas.

Sultan of sokoto continues to send invitations to the Oba of oyo who is muslim, I think they even named the Oba of Oyo chancellor of "Uthman dan Fodiyo University"

Pure fulanis also dont like Pure Hausas- very complicated with islam in the north.

Thank God this pack of cards is falling down! The North really needs liberation! Most don't know that they are just slaves to a feudal elite.

janus05:
I dont see IBB going anywhere. I am not his fan either. I am sure that if the North chose to adopt a consensus candidate from the North, they will be comitting suicide to adopt IBB. My arguement is that GEJ should leave the PDP. It is an infested house and no amount of bleach/disinfectant can make it clean.

No. Nigeria is the infested house. After GEJ wins the primaries, there will be a massive haemorrhage that will see several big beasts spilling out for an all out show down, only to head straight into limbo. The cleaning must start from within.

janus05:
Hahaha. Good one. If this exercise is executed well, only the Naija Delta states and Lagos will have something to show. What a pity

Good exercise

Even Lagos will show a net inflow of FG cash, but its by far the best performing state as far as internally generated revenue is concerned.
Hello MetalGong.

This is a development of gargantuan proportions. Nigeria will, for once be able to point to reliable economic statistics.
For corrupt reasons, past govts have ensured that any search for economic statistics was like looking for lions in the Arctic circle.
There is hope!

[size=14pt]FG budgets N1.6bn to compute states’ contribution to national economy[/size]
Friday, 17 September 2010 01:16 Onyinye Nwachukwu

The Federal Government said it has budgeted about N1.632 billion to carry out a “first ever” exercise that would enable states of the federation begin to compute their individual Gross Domestic Products (GDP) to the national economy.

The exercise, which starts almost immediately, would help the Federal Government monitor what each state is contributing to the national GDP, thus generating some form of competition among them. Shamsudeen Usman, minister of national planning commission, said on Thursday that the process would come in two phases: the first, covering the planning and pilot study while the second phase would comprise the training of enumerators and the actual field work survey.

He announced that the budgeted sum for the exercise is to be shared among the Federal Government, sub-national and the development partners in a 40:30:30 ratio, bringing their expected contributions to about N652,800,000, 489,600,000 and N489, 600, 000, respectively. GDP is the most comprehensive parameter for measuring the level of economic activity in any economy over a particular period and can be computed at the national and sub-national levels. Nigeria’s GDP, at the moment, is only computed at the national level but the minister said the disadvantage is that it does not provide information on the size of the sub-national economies that make up the overall GDP as is done in other countries like India, Ghana etc.

At the opening session of the first two-day sensitisation workshop on state GDP computation for Nigeria in Calabar, Usman said sub-national GDP computation which is relatively new globally is the most comprehensive and reliable measure of economic activity at the sub-national levels in federal economies. He said monitoring output at sub-national levels would serve as a basis for benchmarking the economies of the states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as well as generate healthy competition amongst them on periodic basis, while providing disaggregated data and information for improved management of the states’ economies. The minister was optimistic that computing GDP at state level would help facilitate transparency and accountability as well as help monitor and evaluate key programmes of government.

He further told the gathering that state GDP is expected to be developed within the national framework, using standardised methodology and procedures to ensure consistency and credibility of the results, adding that the exercise is intended to draw from experiences and lessons from these countries. “Given the renewed interest in expanding the policy space at the lower levels of government of Nigeria, it has become more necessary than ever before for the Nigerian statistical system to further improve its data generation efforts, especially in the area of revenue and expenditure. It is in this context that efforts are being made by the Federal Government to commence the production of state GDP for Nigeria,” Usman said.

At the event, Slyvester Monye, secretary to the planning commission, noted that the computation exercise is expected to produce the quarterly and annual GDP series reflecting detailed characteristics of the economy at the sub-national level.

Na wa o! Are there any Nigerians in Canada that can help this dude? I am saying this very seriously.

Lagosboy: How can i forget d shina mey Rambo.

I remember one day at the toll gate going to Shagamu when police where searching under the carpets of our car and my dad asked why and they said they were looking for Shina Rambo Nigerian police don spoil tey tey.

I remember it was said his driver was a woman. God knows where dat guy is now as he was never caught but he willingly quit.

You never know! He just might be a governor now!

Show us your IBB's speech if you are proud of it.

janus05:
Obasanjo saw more hardship growing up than GEJ. What did Nigerians get when he got into power? There is a veil in that office and it erodes all manner of experience that would have ordinarily put the leader in touch with the common people.

Yes, that very veil is about to erode IBB and all he represents. That same veil that eroded Dele Giwa, Vatsa, June 12, MKO Abiola and created thousands of widows and orphans, that veil is calling IBB.

OAM4J:
Good speech, I must admit.

if only he mean what he says and says what he means.

He means every word. This is a man who wanted nothing at all to do with politics, yet finds himself against all odds, standing on Nigeria's topmost podium.

Several delegations were sent to beg him to come into politics, he refused repeatedly, preferring to stick to his field work as an academician. I believe it took four delegations from the high and mighty to get him involved, and since then, his rise has been meteoric; nothing short of miraculous.

abadaba:
Link to this powerful speech please.

There is no link I know of.
You would have to wait for websites that have transcribed the speech.

janus05:
@ Beaf,

Your definition of Obama na man wey dey do like pikin wey dem carry for back. Besides the comaparison is baseless. Advise GEJ to assert himself. He is the GCFRN, etc. And ofcourse Mr. President

You are so funny, your "well spoken," "assertive" bloodsucking IBB's declaration speech was all about; "I did not kill Dele Giwa," "Nigerians will forgive the annulment of June 12," "I did my best even if people don't like me now."

. . .Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery strange!!!
