Where was lagbaja in 2003

Whom did he vote for in 2003

Nobody or group is a fool


If quota system is applied in admission into schools and federal jobs/appointments to give unqualified Northerners a say,

We must apply quota system in ensuring that ethnic groups of few thousands are given a say


What is good for A is also good for B

Say No To Internal colonialism

Say No To Political Slavery

Say No To Born To Rule


Hypocrisy must not be allowed to thrive

Fact

Unfortunately the younger illiterates won't listern to wisdom.


We apply quota system in admission of students into federal schools but hate to apply quota system in presidential matters.

If a Northern child that scores 10 can be given admission, Minority of few millions must be allowed to rule Nigeria

What do you guys say of this.

blackCITIZEN:
We (citizens) are the ones causing our own problems. Dollar keeps rising everyday against naira, strikes here and there, killing of innocent citizens now and then, teachers and lecturers owed, public funds embezzled etc. Over 13,000 innocent citizens of our dear Nation have been killed and their local govt taken by insurgents, leaving them homeless. The other day, i watched a video on youtube where displaced victims of boko haram were abandoned and no one cares for them. They used cement bags to construct where they sheltered themselves, drinking from very bad water from a rural stream around there while their govt raise N21B for reelection. These people have no good life, dreams killed, their properties and loved ones gone. It is very obvious that govt doesn't even care for their welfare despite all they have lost. They get support from churches that help them with little food items and they manage like refugees in their own country. What will be their fate if allowed to be in this condition for another 4yrs? And instead of striving to proffer solution, the govt has resorted to blaming opposition party and giving excuses on why they've not been able to tackle insurgency/insecurity (excuses on why they have failed). Billions of dollars have vanished to where nobody can find them (who is even talking about $20B dollars), 56soldiers sentenced to death for not facing boko haram with inadequate ammunition, not to mention hundreds of them killed by the insurgents. What is happening (O gini n'eme)? Foreign reserve is nothing to write home about, and during rally their manifesto becomes documentary on a coup carried out in 1983 against a corrupt govt, he has no certificate, he cannot remember his phone number, he will die in office etc(In this 21st century) OMG. They know that about 70% of the electorates are not educated and they hide the truth from them. Sometimes i wonder who is more desperate for this power; if you perform very well you don't need religious sentiments and character assassination to win the heart of your people. They don't want us to vote for Muslims but they still campaign in Muslim states for their votes(who is fooling who actually). When will Nigerians forget about religious and ethnicity sentiments and focus on facts without bias on evaluation of performance. Govt is about favorable policies, poverty alleviation, providing security and sustaining the economy of the Nation, lets judge with terms like GDP, return on investment, inflation rate, foreign reserve, oil boom, deficit, value-added, unemployment/employment rate, security/insecurity, integrity and transparency in handling public funds and not to blame people for ineffective performance. "I now see the reason why some reasonable people are worried"
Don't be fooled forever. "Only CHANGE can awaken us from the nightmare called history, for without CHANGE everything remains the same.."
Think about tens of thousands of dead and displaced innocent citizens, our current situation and generation to come
We have our golden chance once again
If you have a million votes, wouldn't you invest it in CHANGE?
The choice is yours
Thank you
God bless Nigeria

Trash

The quantity of ammunitions captured by BH at Baga were they made of stones

Guy go back to school to eradicate your illiteracy

hermesprogidy:
You are missing the point. Don't think like a micro- manager, Buhari has people on his team that can revamp the economy. We only need his persona to curtail wastage and instill a productive mentality in Nigerians.

Buhari may not solve all of Nigeria's problems, but he has a lot to offer.

Sai Buhari

A Yoruba proverb say


Look at what the person who promised you clothes puts on


A man can't give what he doesn't have


Buhari is not the answer.

PassingShot:
A people with a population of less than 20% of the total population can do no more than a DEAD RAT to the rest.

Empty barrels!

You think this coming war is about Ijaws.


Guy wake up

All oppressed ethnic groups are behind GEJ


Power Must Go Round

hermesprogidy:
Same thing I have been saying to my friends and any other person who croons about jonathan's so called achievement. The most nauseating is the so-called agricultural revolution. For all the so-called revolution, agriculture contributes only 33% to our GDP as against 37% in 2008. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food products are at an all time high. I don't know where the CBN gets their figures from. They keep telling us inflation is reducing and it's a single digit figure (8.4%) whilst in reality, inflation is at a double digit figure. Don't even get me started on the minimalist Youwin crap and the Surep nonsense that is targeted at only 1% of the employable population (the rest goes into their private pockets, because such programs are hard to audit)

Jonathan's achievement is only on paper and he can't do better than this, hence he should step aside. The exciting thing about Buhari, is not only his persona, but the people he has surrounded himself with. Nigerians are not expecting an El dorado any time soon, but they need someone who can apply the brakes to this vehicle called Nigeria and steer it off the precipice it is heading to. Buhari is that person! We need Buhari for just one term to provide the foundation of a new mentality for government officials and Nigerians at large (corruption is stealing and you will be punished if caught, frugality and effectiveness in managing our resources mentality) and someone strong enough to break the demonic hold the civilian military have on Nigeria (David Mark et al). Then will we move forward as a nation.

All these, are clearly beyond Jonathan.

Vote wisely, vote Buhari

To believe that a man who can't use an annual pension of 300million naira to transform Daura can bring about national change is the height of economic illiteracy


Buhari has nothing to offer.

Boss13:
We are in this mess because someone called Jonathan got us into it. One of our problem is that we always find a way to attack the messenger and ignore the message. That is why our leaders misbehave and rather than we holding them accountable, we make excuses for them.

Soludo has told us nothing but what we already know. He only added verifiable facts to the issues. If you did not read the article, please do. It was not a campaign tool but a wake up call to both presidential candidates.

Buhari promised 20,000 jobs for each state every month or year. How would he achieve that? The president promised 2,000,000 jobs per annum - likewise, how would he achieve that. These are mere words/deception if they have no documented implementation strategy. Do you also know that in our 2015 budget - oil revenue was estimated as $60/barrel and presently oil price is lower than $50/barrel. Now you begin to question, who is the wicked and clueless person that did that budget? Be mindful that the team responsible are considered the best the president can recruit.

If you like complain from now to next 50years, Nigeria is going no where until she is restructured along the path of True Federalism.


What we should ask both parties are


Their stand on true federalism

and

how to achieve it.

kmariko:
A classic tale of economists measuring who have/ had a bigger manhood on their handling of there respective assignments.
In these economic tales, the greatest football match is the one they captained though neither came home with the crown.

If Obasanjo government was so good why are we still in this economic mess...non existence manufacturing index,low productivity, non existent technological index, infrastructure deficit etc. You cannot get something from nothing. Relying on crude oil as the only source of economic analysis belies the paucity of our collective intellect.

Soludo thanks for exposing our "intellectual elite" for what they truly are outside the confines of appointment

Obi won and Obiano got "appointed" is the reality. Deal with it and move on. Let it go

That's where he got it wrong

Praising OBJ is the height of s tupidity.


If OBJoke had entrenched True Federalism, we won't be where we are now.


To me, OBJ is like king Saul who failed in fulfilling God's purpose

PassingShot:
Your GEJ will end up as Samuel Doe of Liberia if he is not careful. If you were not old enough to know, go read about him from the internet.

Very soon a political illiterate like you will know that Nigeria is not Liberia

You think we will stand and watch you harm our son

Guy wake up

anonimi:
Do the 36 states not currently "have power and control oven internally generated revenue."

How much of the N246 billion Lagos IGR in 2013 (up from N7.2 billion in 1999 i.e. over 34 times increase) did Fashola share with anyone?


Vote wisely!!!

GbamGbam


That is the amount they told us

What of the ones they hid

egift:
The oil boom he is talking about is when price of oil per barrel was around and above $100. Instead of Jonathan saving more than his predecessors, he was squandering what was in the reserve, eating up the massive income and also borrowed even more than the previous regimes. Also poverty rate increased in the mist of plenty.

That is reason why immediately there is a decline, Jonathan is having problem funding budget, paying salary, etc. The summery is that Jonathan has mismanaged the economy - So why then should we reelect such incompetent individual to preside over Nigeria especially when we are on the brink of economic collapse because of his inefficiencies?

Nigerians need Buhari - a man who will Not tell us that stealing billions and trillions is not corruption. Vote for Change.

If only economic illiterates like you have demanded for true federalism, Nigeria would have catch up with the rest of the world



On TRUE FEDERALISM we stand

EUROBOMBER:
I just read an interesting article by Prof Charles Soludo and I began to think deeply. Neither the PDP nor the APC have told us in clear terms, with figures attached, how they intend to fix our economy. With the recent fall in price of crude oil and devaluation of the Naira, what is the way forward Nigeria?

I am asking this question like a Nigerian now without any connections to any political party. Please this is not a thread for shouting GEJ till 2019 or Sai Buhari!

We need facts and figures on how the economy of Nigeria will be managed in the coming months.

God bless Nigeria.

TRUE FEDERALISM


GEJ has promised to implement the Confab report which is the first step towards true federalism.

barcanista:
I have been preparing for a possible debate with Mr Datolee and other Jonathanians for some days now, I guess they started de-activating their accounts on seeing that they couldn't accept to face the progressive in a issue-based debate. Datolee for sure was a smart dude, but a fact twister (some may say I am too, its everyone's opinion). He comes and he goes, he appears and disappears. Never consistent on this board. I am very sure that he's using alternate moniker.
These pdp people have started quitting even before the election. The fear and shame of defeat wouldn't allow them stay. Sincere9gerian appears and disappears, you see him in every "mumu" thread that is started by any of his boys.I won't be surprised to see GEJ quit the Presidential race (and he won't be missed).

The rantings of an ant

Can someone ask this fake Ijaw , topic of the issue based politics

Collynzo9:
OBJ was far more of a general than Buhari, how well did he cope with militants?
Abegi next story!

Gbam

Leave the illiterate alone.


Buhari can never win this election

PassingShot:
Fa fa fa, foul!

We shall see to that after GMB has assumed the presidency. Then they shall be made to understand what is meant by a Major General leading from the front as opposed to a clueless, fear fear, ball-less weakling leading from behind.

Buhari will never rule this country

And if you protest


The bullet that will kill you is in the armoury.

nwabekeyi101:
Akpu eating yeeboes hypocrisy must be exposed first before anything. I mean fools like you from the Southeast.

I am not datolee or sincere9gerian

I go give una where it hurts most

Redoil:
their some people in nairaland who are hell bent in frustrating people in nairaland. These people are cyber expert who will dig up every thing about and start threatining you and ur family member. They did that to my first user name and a lot of people in nairaland back then publishing the names and addresses of loved ones. Complaining to the mods then was like talking to a stone wall i was left with no choice than to deactivate it.
And open this present username. Such things were mostly done to whoever is in full support of gej.
Besides haven't you notice that sincerenigera deactivated her account only for another person to quickly registerd it and use it to always insult and attack gej?

We shall fight on to the bitter end

Buhari must be vanquished

SW hypocrisy must be exposed

---

I owe no one any apology

PhockPhockMan:
It's unfortunate to hear this. If not him, the mountains of lies heaped on this site by barcanista, NgeneUkwenu, Obiagelli and other certificate Forgers would've stood as truth. I know that most of APChickens lamenting his exit are actually mocking us. I give it to them, they know how to frustrate their perceived enemies. Imagine, one of our best hands, Sincere9gerian hardly drop topic or comment because of insult from hungry and frustrated fools that can't get job because of lack of CERTIFICATE. They tried it on me, when they realized that I know their game, they started avoiding me like evil.
It's a huge loss.

The illiterates wanted to try it on me too

But

When they saw that I can whip up sentiments that can destroy APC and their regional base, they started avoiding me

Chigold101:
Soluda has once again proven that he is a weak man. A man i so much loved but his unforgiven spirit is second to none.

Soludo is writing like this against GEJ because GEJ is the reason why he lost Anambra election in 2010(I worked as member of his campaign team).

In 2013 he joined APGA and was talked about how to continue with Obi‘s good work as governor of Anambra state but Obi who already had Obiano in mind used style to push Soludo aside...

He joined Atiku‘s camp in 2011 thinking that GEJ will lose at the PDP primaries, but their camp was disgraced. Now he has come here to cause confusion in the polity because all he wants is to see GEJ disgraced, but it will not work for him in Jesus name.

This is how his unforgiven spirit made him to make sure that Dora Akunyiri (his wife‘s aunty. Dora is the younger sister to the wife‘s mother) never win Anambra central senatoral sit. He took it upon himself to make sure that Ngige is decleard the winner even when there was a little confusion in few constituencie. All because Dora through GEJ & Abuja PDP helped Peter Obi defeat him in 2010.

As an insider who knows the fight going on between Soludo, GEJ & Obi am not suprised at all with the this piece. It has some elements of truth but it is coated with many sweet lies.

He took sabatical after Peter Obi messed him up in 2013 prior to Anambra state guber election. Which sabatical? He went in to leak his wounds...

He thinks he has seen where to nail GEJ.

I sensed it too when he called GEJ's economic advisers traders.


Anyway


GEJ should learn somethings especially his point on True Federalism

Thank you Soludo for a wake up call

Let's be frank

GEJ has failed in the core reason why God enthroned him

What is that core reason.? True federalism


Until Nigeria is restructured, our potential will not manifest.


Let's look at the relationship between fiscal federalism and job creation/economic development

---

If we had insisted that each state retained 50% of the mineral royalties and taxes, today our States, LGAs and private sector would have been the vanguard of job creation/economic development.

---

Let's use 3 states as case study

Ondo(Bauxite), Enugu(Coal) and Kogi(Iron ore)

Imagine the jobs that would have been created if these states had been empowered by law to control 50% of these resources.

Imagine the industries that would have been established and the economic development that would have taken place in these states.

But No says the far North to true federalism

---

Soludo is a brilliant economist

But

OBJ is a disgrace to God and man

Why

He was the one who should have entrenched TRUE FEDERALISM unfortunately he went there and failed like King Saul due to love for riches rather than God.

---

I know President Jonathan is reading our comments as a guest

Mr. President Jonathan you will end up being a failure if you fail to implement True Federalism

All other things like Train rehabilitation, fertilizer e wallet etc are secondary

---

President Jonathan on True Federalism we stand

Neither fail we Igbos nor the Nigerdeltans.

Thank you Soludo

Thank you Nairalanders

Thank you President Jonathan

Thank you my parents for my education

Thank you God.

Remain blessed.

Thanks Tomoarika for calling me into issues like this. May you days be long as Methuselah.

can you imagine..sacking an army barracks in a nation where there is a president..when bin ladin killed u.s citizens,Barak Obama made sure justice prevailed by making sure he killed bin ladin,even though he had to put his job on the line,he still made dat decision to raid bin ladins house and killed him...GEJ the mumu is a chicken that cant make decisions....#Buhari for President

Ihejirika has being vindicated

This is what happens when we call terrorists freedom fighters


I hope all political illiterates can now keep quiet.

When historical illiterates talk you will know


GEJ had these boys under control through Ihejirika but some cattlemen said it is war against the NORTH


Today the slaves of these herdsmen are blaming GEJ

babadee1:
Continue deceiving yourself there. PDP is most likely behind this whole Boko Haram mess. GEJ himself said their sponsors were in his government.

omonnakoda:
The story is true and not one we should be playing politics with. I have never expressed a preference for GEJ or BUHARI but serious now GEJ needs to tell us HIS PLAN to have any credibility. I am not a soldier but I do not see the wisdom in having a barrack in a WAR ZONE especially when clearly we do not have any meaningful aerial surveillance not to talk of offensive capacity. To court martial soldiers in these circumstances is madness. It is clear the soldiers at the top including Minimah have to go, the trouble is their replacements will be determined by GEJ's interests.
Nigeria is not winning this . What is painful is this is clearly an effort to influence the elections but sadly GEJ does NOT seem to have any answers . In this day and age we cannot be asking our soldiers to die at the rate of 50 to 100 daily while some clowns like Dieziani are feeding fat. Think if you are a soldier in Monguno will you be motivated for this war under the circumstances?
It seems clear to me that GEJ is totally unable to solve this problem that does not mean that Buhari can either which could mean Nigeria is F$$CKED

Zoharariel:
And the senseless TANoids still want us to undergo another 4 years of Cluelessness, Corruption & Insecurity?

Horlawoomey:
Boko Haram are sacking villages close to Maiduguri and the NSA is busy talking about Pornography, another one is busy playing politics with certificate while another loud mouthed is on twitter combating Ezekwesile.

May God protect all the soldiers in the trenches of the North eastern coridor.

May God protect siriusBlack and every soldier that find it as a duty to protect the Nigerian territory. My heart is with you in prayers. This war is surely not going to consume us.

motherlode:
Chai, see how the drop of cluelessness from the top is affecting those under!
I am sure this is as a result of the website hacking that happened few days ago. Guys, let us be watchful as a peacock which sees with both the eyes and feathers.

naijaking1:
Soon APC or BK apologists will show us pictures of killed terrorists whose human rights were violated by the NIgerian army!

You sabi them wella

We Igbos are talking of true federalism , Buhari is talking of jobs.

I hope no be N5000 jobs he dey suggest

SeverusSnape:
You and I know Igbos are for Jonathan. No two ways about it.

Don't mind the illiterate

Masanto:
A bus and hilux car was set on fire today at PDP campaign today in suleja Niger State

Wild cattlemen


Election has not taken place and these herdsmen are burning vehicles

God save any Southerner caught up North.

egift:
Stealing or rigging this election like the NNPC billions and other looted funds will not work. Jonathan will be sent Home and Nigeria will remain in Peace. If your plan is to ignite trouble, it will not work. No be Cho-Cho-Chooo!

It is Sai Buhari this Valentine - Nigerians are united.
