Throwback: Yes I supported the rightful handover to a vice-president in the event that the president was indisposed. However Turai and her husband's kitchen cabinet wanted to continue to run the government in the name of a sick and handicapped Yar'Adua.
By the time Jonathan eventually moved from acting and became president in April/May 2010 when Yar Adua died, I only needed him to spend less than a year to realise I had only rightly campaigned for a clueless man to rule.
So when it was time to vote in 2011, I warned all those who settled for the tales of "I had no shoes" "he is a Christian", " he is a minority".
I did not even need to rub it in when they were the ones who wondered how they could have voted for such an empty headed PhD clown.
They were the ones who sacked him without thinking twice.
The same way some needed only 6 months to realise that Buhari did not have the w mlill or courage to save us from corruption or be a fair and broadminded leader.
What did you see that made knew all this just 4 month after confirmation? Someone was made a substantial president in April/may and by October when campaign started you had already knew he was clueless���....what was the yardstick for knowing this...if you had said after 2011 election or by 2012 of subsidy removal, it would have made sense but 2010? That's too farfetched cos I believe there is no way you would have known that...please enlighten us into your thinking, I especially wanna learn
Throwback: I was also vindicated about Jonathan despite all my appeals to friends and family not to vote an obviously clueless man in 2011. Meanwhile this was the same Jonathan I campaigned for on social media and within my party of friends in 2010, to ensure he was made Acting President when Turai Yar'Adua was using her vegetable husband to play with the destiny of Nigeria.
Those friends of mine were also disappointed and were the ones who ensured he was sacked in 2015.
This your lie en!it can wake abacha oooo...u supported gej in 2010 and by Jan 2011 before election u were already singing a new songkai!!!Lai dey learn work from you...someone that was made a substantial president around d end of d first quarter of 2010 which also happened to be a campaign year with permutation everywhere....bros I raise Yansh for u oooo
aybabz101: In his few months as commander of the federal republic of 9ja, the whole nation witnessed real change. He is d best leader dis nation ever had......with d look of tinz nw, probably will ever have.....jst in 6 months
His only mistake was dat he has a good heart towards his enemies. He retired all those savages who ruined the country @ dat time and banished dat stupid Gowon to exile. these crooks came 2geda and finish him off.
lesson. .......after cutting d head of d snake, burn it and feed it to d pigs coz u neva know. murtala was God sent to Nigeria but his good heart did not only instigate his demise it also open d door to stupid leaders like OBJ, IBB, Buhari etc. which 9ja is yet to recover from ,
Shame!!! You don't know your history...only street regurgitated sermon like that of buhari84 stories you know, not the fact as it actually happened
KEVIND: The Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, Afenifere, Ohaneze Ndigbo and the Middle Belt Forum has set up a movement known as the Mass Alliance for Inclusive Nigeria, MAIN Front. The Movement is to deepen the call for Nigeria’s restructuring. This is contained in a statement by PANDEF leader, Chief E.K. Clark; Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo; Ohanaeze Ndigbo President General, Chief John Nwodo and President, Middle Belt Forum, Dr. Bala Takaya. In a statement titled, ‘Nigeria at crossroads: MAIN front to the rescue’, the leaders said, “Nigeria is, at the moment, in a state of inertia, with her people stranded at the juncture of dilemma, pondering as to what path leads to socio-economic emancipation, where the future of our country’s younger generation can be secured, and our women saved from needless anxiety over what fate awaits their children. ”As a country of energetic and hardworking people, we have not always been like this. For long rendered prostrate and made to exist in a state of suspended animation, our country now is on a fast-tracked race to a bleak future for the unborn children. “Our country has never been in a more dire strait than it is today with the virtual collapse of governance, crass display of insensitivity, the arrogance of power, unquantifiable corruption, and the country fast becoming a laughing stock and butt of practical jokes in enlightened circles. “Beyond the hyperboles, and given the reality of our existence, the future ended yesterday if the ‘state of anomie’, where lives have become cheap and un-guaranteed, with almost assured deaths of children and women, including the unborn babies, and destruction for family compounds and communities. ”Without sounding pessimistic, under the present social order, the quest for peace and socio-political progress, no matter the sincerity of individual actors, will remain, regrettably, an unfulfilled passion. “In the circumstances, our major assignment, is to salvage the ship of the Nigerian state tottering in a scarily rudderless manner in the roaring waters of insecurity, economic decline and permanent political tension, is the restoration of stolen Nigeria ‘Article of Faith’, amongst Nigerians. ”The point being made, in no unmistaken terms, is that the dismantled federal architecture must be reconstructed, where each state in Nigeria will be self-accounting with respect to its nature-endowed natural resources, of which no federating unit in Nigeria is denied of God’s numerous gifts to His creatures, and self-securing of lives and property within its constitutionally-defined geopolitical space. ”This is the irreducible minimum item of a social contract that our long-suffering people demand of any group and association that seeks to take control of our country’s political destiny, henceforth. This precisely is what we, the Mass Alliance for Inclusive Nigeria, pledge to affect.” They demanded the immediate release of the remaining Dapchi school girl, Leah Sharibu, stressing, “While we rejoice with the parents whose daughters have been returned, we strongly demand the immediate release of Leah Sharibu, who remains in the custody of her captors, given her refusal to denounce her Christian faith. The Nigerian state cannot claim to have closed this sordid saga for as long as Leah and outstanding Chibok Girls remain in captivity.”
if they are serious they should ask and campaign for total boycott of 2019 election in fvour of restructing, and a movement for such should start in earnest...otherwise they are just joking....the present condition of the country is a perfect timing for this alliance and accompanied action like election boycotting
futurism: I was just about to say same thing because I was on his thread... I think the insults he received from Igbos on that thread made him rescind his stance... Igbos should stop the insults, especially when someone realize their own mistake and try to make a change. It was not cool...
if a guy create a thread now calling for unity among igbos and yorubas, while the Yorubas will keep quiet, Igbos will be the one to throw the first stone on that thread...
A ploy to bring tinubu back to the table...an after thought and a strategy to win back tinubu vigour and loyalty... if tinubu cannot see this script then he doesnt deserve the name and accolades we have conferred on him.....a piece have been moved by the northern wing and check on tinubu king, lets see what tinubu's move will be.....this game is getting interesting...(its just that the northern cabal showed their hands too early for a counter move)

fk002: Jonathan administration was famous because of his incompetency, endless BH massacre, herdsmen attack, cluelessness, and most importanly his wife grammatical blunders (She lacks focus, she acts like an agbero she embrassed us time without number in the eyes of the world)
PMB till 2023
its better for the wife of the president to embarras us (atleast she wasnt elected) than for the elected president "clown-in-chief" to be embarrasing us every he goes, from america to europe to asia...atleast the wife kept hers withing the country.....our clown inchief that doesnt know west germany doest exist again, that call his vice osibande instead of osibanjo, that still think berlin wall is standing, that doesnt know where his IG was...too many to mention.......abeg mama peace, your buffonry is a thousand miles better than our clown-in-chief buffonry and crass stupidity and ignorance
engineerboat: Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, is against a ceasefire agreement with Boko Haram insurgents.
On Sunday, Lai Mohammed, minister of information, said the federal government has been in “wider cessation-of-hostility” talks with the insurgents.
He said the ceasefire talks secured the release of the 113 students and pupils kidnapped from Dapchi, Borno state, as well as the police officers’ wives and the University of Maiduguri lecturers also abducted by Boko Haram.
Writing via his Twitter handle on Monday, Fayose wondered why the government would discuss ceasefire with the insurgents, despite claims that the group has been defeated.
Fayose said Mohammed’s statement shows “someone is obviously lying to Nigerians”.
“How can you discuss ceasefire with the same Boko Haram you claimed to have defeated and decimated?” he wrote.
Thought provoking question.. in a saner clime buratai would have been arrested for proclaiming wrong notion and lai would have been lied to prison for delibrate misinformation
Diiet: stop being emotional. One of the failures of Ngozi is that she shared our reserves with governors and later lied that she was forced to do it. Sensible Nigerians will never forget the corruption that took place when Okonjo iweala was overseeing our economy. Today, we thank God for giving us a wonderful and intelligent finance minister like kemi. Kemi is good
can you please name the corruption or forever remain silent....kindly post the source and conviction from a competent court of jurisdiction...olodo parading up and down
Truthcat: The writer of this trash is lucky that the 95% of the comments here are from those who are even dumber than him.
Ofcourse the guy guy is not Yoruba and not even a PhD older and not writing from nassarawa...he only used Yoruba name to create chaos cos he knew that the name will ruffle feathers...he is a very smart stupid man
Enjoy your delusion... whether he wins or not is fine by me, all I know is that we shall enjoy it together, good or bad!!!!suffer in silence and jubilate on the outside, na u know!
owukpa: For the umpteenth time, Dr. Paul Enenche, Senior Pastor, Dunamis International Gospel Centre has poured out his heart on the state of affairs in Nigeria.
Dr. Enenche, who has been vocal against bad governance in the nation, said it was lamentable that the rich kept oppressing the poor to get richer while the poor got poorer in a country acclaimed to be the giant of Africa.
Recall that the fiery preacher had recently revealed seven things leaders should do to avert all the problems in Nigeria.
According to the outspoken cleric, some political leaders had been in power for years, yet, their communities lack basic social amenities.
Speaking on Sunday during a live service monitored on Dunamis TV at Area 1, Abuja headquarters of his church, Enenche, who spoke on the topic, Wisdom for Finances, said some leaders go about spending money on frivolous things while their subjects suffered in abject poverty.
He queried, “How many rooms can somebody sleep in one night? How many cars can somebody drive at once?
“I heard one time that some people went to a rich man's house to work and when they opened the ceiling only to discover wads of dollars stacked up there which were spoiling. It is said that such money benefited or profited nobody. In fact, some people are so addicted to money, not knowing that addiction leads to destruction.
“There are so many foolish and useless rich men in Africa and Nigeria. I don’t know of any country has more money in foreign accounts than this nation. All languishing away!
“Unemployment like water, communities that parade rich men are dying of no potable drinking water. We have communities of big men where there are no hospitals and no access roads. What a ‘yeyecious’ and useless bigness of life,” he added.
Dr. Enenche during service gave an instance of a popular medical doctor from Anambra State, who had many hospitals around the world and decided to turn his village around.
According to him, the God-fearing medical doctor went to his village, demolished all the idols and changed the name to Umuchuckwu (Children of God’s community).
He said the doctor also erected a 16-storey building diagnostic center for his people, tarred their roads, sent children to school, provided them with basic amenities and he’s still living in a rented apartment.
He quipped, “That is money with meaning. What if we have just one thousand of such persons in Nigeria, this country would have been like America.
“But sad enough, all they do is to fly fromAmerica to India and from India to Dubaiand other foreign countries on medical tourism, empty Nigeria’s treasury just to make other countries rich.
“Put billions of dollars in another country so they can use it to develop themselves and when the greedy rich man dies, that country takes over the money. That is what we know how to do here.
“So sad we have this mentality of not letting others to rise, you have seen instances where a man sees his bother’s name for appointment and knocks it off because he does not want him or anyone else to rise. Beloveth, note this, riches without outreach equals wretchedness,” he added.
He revealed further, “I recall when some Americans came to Nigeria some years ago and they said they wanted to see how an African village looks like. It was inBenue State.
“So, I asked one of the pastors whose village was close by to take us there because mine is like an hour ahead.
“We went to the village and saw many huts and the people entered and asked, where is the air conditioner? And we told them, that is the air conditioner there, if you open the small window there, air will come in and condition the room. They asked for toilet and were shocked there was none in the hut.
“See what happened, we stepped into four huts, and we told the people, because we have stepped into these huts, we are breaking them down and building new houses with modern materials.
“We also went to the primary school opposite same place and we decided to rebuild the school.
“When it was commissioned, the deputy governor of the state went with us.
“Amazingly, it was during the commissioning that the village head told us that those huts we entered belonged to some orphans, but we never knew.
“He said the huts belonged to children whose parents had died and they had no money to even change the thatched roof. Rain was beating them during the rainy season inside the same huts.
“They had to labour on farms to fend for themselves. We were not aware of all these before we took our action.
“We didn’t go there with such intention, but we saw the need and God quickened our heart to change their story. “This is amidst countless other community development projects we have consistently embarked upon over the years.
“I am not here to score any point, God knows, the only reason I said this is because examples communicate principles, illustrations communicate instruction.
“Note this, you are not rich with the amount of money or things you have, you are rich with number of people you have reached.”
The cleric also prayed against killers and their sponsors in the nation, averring that anyone behind the killings in the nation will know no peace.
This kind of talk make me cry and laugh at the same time cos it's what people like to hear but it's not the whole truth...who give this useless rich men front seat in church and mosque?who laugh with them and clear road for them? Who euogise them and snap picture with them? Who have been marrying the kids of these useless rich men has he called them? Are they "pastors and imams" not the one....we all cry about them in our closet but once we see them we laugh and smile with them ,we even start posting the pictures up and down....the truth is that this country can never be better cos a whole lot of us are hypocrites... developed country grow cos they ain't shy to bullshit.it anyone that goes contrary to acceptable norms no matter the status of the person but here defend them once we see them and then come online to rant for example the hypocrisy of ganduje wedding and hisbah police couldn't do anything,the emir was there and couldn't do anything,but it were to be an ordinary person, the story would have been different...smh
madridguy: Tackling national security matter like village matter won't lead us to anywhere rather than more attacks upon attacks. You keep negotiating with terrorists by giving them large amount of money and also releasing their top members under the army custody is an archaic ways of doing things. No serious country negotiate with terrorists.
frustration is written all over your message...its really not easy to defend any government in nigeria cos most of them are fuckups...u still dey try sha PMB till 2023 ojare!!!
With this single sentence,you are a goner if the bill is passed...you see sanni is trying to save the likes of you and you are so dumb to figure that out....olodorabata!!!
madridguy: Go and sit down and stop spewing rubbish.
You are d foolish,stupid and irritating maggot...I thought u av any iota of sense remaining in your maggot infested brain but didn't know I was wasting my time on fool like u.its only a fool like you that can still be supporting a failure like Buhari
madridguy: Will appreciate if you can remove gej out of this. He's the foundation of bombing in Nigeria
You see urself?so it's gej that pay and instruct them to bomb ba?and a military general could not stop the bomb and d kidnapping despite all d ransom payments, all of a sudden it's not the fault of d president but that of the security sabotaging it...I thought you were redeemed but it's now obvious u just wanted to exonorate your God and saviour... kontinu we are all in it together....we go dey suffer am together
madridguy: It shall not be well with every politician playing with the lives and properties of Nigerians. So kidnapping of young girls is now a way of hijacking power.
PMB should stop wasting money on DSS and every other security agency because it is now obvious they're the boko haram. How come since all this years they've not been able to tap mama boko haram lines and use it to track down the beasts?
I think the good people of the North East alone can win the war against boko haram, they should rise up and flush out the demons.
Enough is enough.
Atleast u finally agree that gej was not the problem...the only sad thing is that we all allowed ourselves to be used for political gain and now another round is here.... It will take a long time for us to know peace in this country cos the injustice is too much...
this guy will be so ashamed of himself when he leaves and the whole game while he was there become clear to him...i really pity him and how he has changed by the changer
