The Great Fela Summed it all - Our fix on Materialism is the hinderance.

In a country where people see GEJ as the Messiah - Options are very limited.


Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Some people lost some bread
Someone nearly die
Someone just die
Police dey come, army dey come
Confusion everywhere
Hey yeah!

Seven minutes later
All don cool down, brother
Police don go away
Army don disappear
Them leave Sorrow, Tears, and Blood

[Chorus]
Them regular trademark!

Them leave Sorrow, Tears, and Blood
Them regular trademark
That is why

[Chorus]
Hey yeah!

Everybody run run run,

La la la la
My people self dey fear too much
We fear for the thing we no see
We fear for the air around us
We fear to fight for freedom
We fear to fight for liberty
We fear to fight for justice
We fear to fight for happiness
We always get reason to fear

We no want die
We no want wound
We no want quench
We no want go
I get one child
Mama dey for house
Papa dey for house
I want build house
I don build house
I no want quench
I want enjoy
I no want go
Ah!

So policeman go slap your face
You no go talk
Army man go whip your yansh
You go dey look like donkey
Rhodesia dey do them own
Our leaders dey yab for nothing
South Africa dey do them own

Beaf:
So our power generation capacity increases and people complain? It just goes to show how negative some are, they are the sort of people we call winsh!
Winshes hate progress and love darkness.

Some have brought up SA's capacity as support for their whinging; but dudes the only way we can ever catch up with SA is by steadily increasing capacity. Last month, we hit 3600MW for the first time in our history (don't mind the clowns mentioning 4000MW, remember they are winshes ), a month later we've climbed to  3,800MW. In the next one month or so, we should have topped 4000MW. . . Let winshes complain, afterall they are lovers of deep darkness, others are hopeful and glad that after decades of hopelessness, things are actually getting better.

I thank My Lord Jesus  - that folks on NL now see past all your hypocrisy.  I am amazed at the rapid rate at which your opinions change. 

One minute you say GEJ is 9 months old and Not a part of the Yar adua adminstration.  The next minute you claim that Nigerians should be happy at least power generation is increasing.  Which one should we believe now.

SInce you suffer from selective amnesia let me remind you. Your GEJ propaganda would work anymore.

Electricity generation in Nigeria has always hovered around 2500 - 4000 MW for a  Long time and it is an insult to Nigerian Masses from the Inept GEJ adminstration to claim kudos for extra generation of 188mw that always been there.

Where is the 6000 MW GEJ promised Nigerians by the end of 2010.

shotster50:
The irony of branding someone a foreigner when your name is Mary J Blige smh.

lol

Hypocrites generally suffer from constant selective amnesia -

@poster


I thought you were signing out completely from NL or you could not resist the lure post more conspiracy crap.

ok you say

blackwater is in somila - where else do you expect them to be. The last time i checked blackwater was and is still paramilitary organisation

DeeJay20:
DUDE GO BACK TO SLEEP ! U DONT HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NORTH AFRICA, DECEPTION AND COVERT OPERATIONS HAVE JUST GOT MORE SINISTER!!!

If you have nothing to post - read and move on - The above makes no sense at all - what deception or covert is going on.??

Nsiman:
Where was ribadu when atiku was laudering money to the US thru jenifer since 2001-2007? He shld rather concentrate on real campaign rather than going the way of atiku or being atikued

The usual of line of the Pro GEJ. fortunately every time you point a finger, four points back at you - The same could be said where were the Authorities when Patience Goodluck was laundering money.

proudly9ja:
We add 188MW of electricity and it is front page news? we no dey shame? I really don't get us sometimes.
For those who don't know, Nigeria's total electricity output has been flunctuating between 2500 and 4000MW since 1999 when OBJ started his first tenure. All through OBJ's tenure we 'added' several '100MW' plants on pages of newspaper (check out Odili's plant, and others) but at the end of his tenure, we had same range of MW (2500 - 4000).

BTW, SA generates over 35,000MW of electricty. (http://www.info.gov.za/otherdocs/2008/nationalresponse_sa_electricity1.pdf)

Someone buzz me when we get to 6000MW

Lol


In the Nigerian context -  One eyed person becomes the king of blind. 

As far back i can remember electricity in Nigeria has been hovering between 2500 to 4000 Mw for very long time it is just unfortunate that we have been plagued with corrupt leaders who have vested interests in the power business.   

Beaf:
The current administration is just 9 months old, so the bolded above is nonsensical. It was yar Adua's govt that promised and failed. We need some honesty in our discussions.

Thank God, there is positive movement in power supply at long last. We have waited many govts for this.

I dont see anything positive in Lies Lies Lies  - The only way we going to get stable power is when we elect genuine leaders who would put National interest above personal.


Mr Beaf  - It is very hard to separate GEJ from Yaradua - Both were elected on the same mandate. I am also sure you are suffering from  selective amnesia.  For your Information GEj did promise Nigeria electricity by 2010  - The below statement was made in 2009. 

"
From Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan came a bold declaration yesterday: that Nigerians will no longer use generators for their industrial and private power needs by this time next year. Speaking in Kaduna at the inauguration of a production line for Peugeot 306 Sedan, Jonathan reisterated that Fed-eral Government is putting necessary machinery in place to meet all its targets in the power sector, beginning with the generation and distribution of 6,000mw scheduled for December "

highly unlikely when the rigging infrastructure of Poverty Development Party is in motion.  Dele has more chances winning the lottery than becoming president.  On a level playing field it might be another story.

Dream chaser:
:oMy oh my, this hatred for GEJ, is getting out of hand! I think this is a good appointment. The bianca I know is a very intelligent and well travelled woman, who is highly respected! At a time when other african countries are thinking of how to engage their diaspora, some nigerians don't understand why we should have an SA on diaspora affairs? I can't believe what I'm seeing here!!

You are missing the point - The grudge here is not about Bianca but more on the inept adminstration of GEJ that has blatantly dismissed repeated warnings from local and international monetary organisations in respect to the running cost of government in Nigeria. At the moment Nigeria spends 75% of the budget on adminstration. That kind of recurrent expense is unsustainable and it is toeing Nigeria in the line of bankruptcy.

Of what use is he when awake

The last time he woke up he appointed 4 Advisers  - Guess what for the last 12 years Nigeria has been on Auto Pilot and

i am so confident that Nigeria can survive without presidents.

Please abeg GEJ  - carrying on sleeping  cause we dont want the below advisers.

Ma J Blige Your level of sycophancy is extra ordinary.

Just admit that GEJ is business as usual -and he is not bold enough to rock the steady, greasy and corrupt vessel

even after the Man was warned by Danjuma that size of government must be reduced at all cost - The man still no listen.

What does GEJ do - he responds by adding more layers of fat - 4 more advisers ( Not doing anything but earning salary, allowances)

Nigeria has 34 if not useless Ministries - haba

Gbawe:
Next you will lie that I am a Malian intent on ressurecting the maitasini movement in Nigeria.

Classic

^^^lol


but it is true -

rhymz:
Let us get something straight here, that portfolio is not a new creation, it was there before, infact, Abiola's daughter was the one heading it until this announcement. I am Igbo myself and am passionate about my Identity but I dont think there is any justification for that position in the 1st place. The issue here is not Bianca's appointment( because any political strategist will tell u it has its point if u look at the potentials of such to his acceptance to the igbos) the problem here is why do we ve such an office in the first place. It is causing so much uproar now because it is Bianca, Ojukwu's wife. People should take a chill pill and argue with perspective, all these issues about GEJ wanting to habe Bianca is preposterous and the forte of mentally lazy ppl that would rather indulge in small talks than intelligently analysing issues.

You have obviously missed a large chunk of the thread  - Please refer to pages 1 to 5 . The issue here is not about Bianca but more focused at the unsustainable money spending by  the GEJ administration even after many warning from his peers, CBN and other international Monetary organisations  to reduce recurrent expenses - are you aware that  Nigeria spends 25% if not less of its budget on capital investments while the remaining 75% is eaten by administration.

Where is beaf  - when is he going to address this latest blunder from our unstable , expensive, over bloated presido.

Beaf:
I marvel at the really low IQ quite a few NLers display shamelessly. Instead of discussing real political issues, they crowd on someone elses wife. She isn't married to you, so whats your problem?
Why leave aside crucial issues like politicians dealing in drugs below and sink to gutter levels discussing another mans wife?

The trashy morality of some NLers really beats the crap out of me.

Lol

Please dont derail the thread.

This thread is about Dame Patience and not about Tinubu

anyway we are waiting for your response on this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-593362.32.html

Mr Beaf - NL spokes person for GEJ

I see say u dey avoid this thread LIKE plague

It is unfortunate that every time you try and defend GEJ in hope of winning us over - GEJ drops a blunder .

it is not easy o - if i were you i would ask GEJ for salary increase cause this wahala pass dead body.

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=593362.msg7608991#msg7608991 date=1296070606]Guys chill out. GEJ's targeting Ndigbo especially the APGA electorate. Its a political strategy. Nothing sinister here.[/quote]Nonsense i actually think it is much easier to win the people over if one actually serves the people rather than using strong arm tactics.

Any Igbo man or woman that votes for GEJ because of this appointment should not complain when hardship increases rather than decreasing.

lol

i almost fell off my seat listening to this so called batu speech

where are the following people to come and defend GEJ on this mad act

1. beaf
2 Ma j blige
3 Nsiman
4 Wesley80


When the whole country is groaning under a costly government madman GEj decides to add another Salary Earning Station to the overbloated cost of running government in Nigeiria

It has NOW been confirmed that Madmen aswell hold PHD's


Was it not last week that Danjuma was advising GEJ that his government is too big?

One more thing


This one na selective war on corruption - what about halliburtion and siemens cases - abi GEJ chop inside too

Resignation is not good enough.  The Man should have assets sized and then Jailed until then i hold my reservation on this tiny war on corruption.    I am stilling looking for the Nigerian president that cant jail IBB, Obj, AbudulSalam, and any persons in government deemed corrupt in the last 20 years.

I doubt if the album makes 50000 N  - so she is giving away 10000N big deal


Bill gates is giving away  35billion Dollars  - now that is charity  - imagine the impact

ugly to the core

vigasimple:
One wonders who gave the woman 1 vote in Kwara or Kogi state she came from. If she was not the one who voted for herself, the person who vote for should have that vote recall.

Historically, how many votes and delegates has she got in the past. suffering from Attention Seeking Deficit Disorder.

Even Atiku who had 800+ delegates votes knew he has no prayer, either in court or in another party.

Look, guys, SW declared encblock for GEJ, SS are not going to deny their own, SE follows the orders of Ndigbo. So Southern vote locked up.

Going towards the North, Kwara and Kogi are more or less Yoruba states so, that will be in the bag for GEJ, then Plateau. Benue will definitely vote GEJ, Kaduna, state of Sambo wil also follow suit.

The only states unreachable for now for GEJ, and he may not need them are Sokoto, Kano, Kebbi, Niger, and a few others. so GEJ will even win Sarah Jubril vote comes the general election.

Which text book did you copy the above from . Please bear in mind that delegates voting pattern can not in anyway be used to predict actual election pattern. The Delegates were highly compromised it is a well known fact that primaries are decided by behind the scene strong arm tactics. I am not sure of the rest of country but south west including Kwara and Kogi are not lock down BY GEJ especially with the recent calamities coming out of Camp GEJ. GEJ is showing that he is business as usual for the corrupt elite.

Eko for sure


Rather than force people by withholding their salaries why create incentives.

lol


DDc machine inside deep forest - abi them wan register animals and spirits too

Ooh yes! Fela u been don sing before~

~ authority people dem go dey steal,
~pen get power, gun no get~
~if gun steal 50 thousand nairaa, pen go steal, (the like sum above).

You know sometimes I imagine the songs abami eda could have sang if he were alive with all that has happened & still happening in Nigeria?

I wonder too - what titles of song would be

It is so true - Nigerian leaders are just a mere reflection of their followers - fact


where does the cleansing start

No man can attain to the level of a Pure heart by themselves but Thank God you have a pure heart through Jesus Christ by Faith

anything outside of the above  - you are wasting your time "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard"

Striving to have a pure heart by yourself is works - and we have been redeemed from the curse of Law.

Dont allow the devil to deceive  you- so you dont fall under the curse of Law.

The bible says " that we joint heirs with Christ"
