head_to_to:People like u wud defend GEJ even if he were a homo, |
Asobank:Graphics? Some people are so dumb that anything they do not want to believe they say it is photoshopped. I'm a Graphics Artist and this is far from Photoshop, it's a low res pic taken via a phone and is real as the air that you breathe. |
Some Nigerians are idiots with all due respect. A man comes and tells you to challenge him against against corruption and people criticise him. But when a thief comes to you and tells you things you want to hear you all cheer him despite knowing he's a thief. Well like the bible says "God will give ya'll leaders you deserve." |
It's like saying I've started using condoms. |
How come Nigerians arent coming back home? I'll say these other African immigrants arent as sharp as Naija boys, who have a higher determination to survive and make a better living |
@ Agaba123 If Buhari is clueless, Jonathan's intelligence can be compared to a that of an illiterate street tout. His administration so far makes me question his ph.d. in Zoology. He needs to close his animal science books and realise he's dealing with humans, the most complicated of God's creations. |
The question is "was there a meeting with Journalists at Sheraton Hotels, Abuja yesterday?" If there was, then some peeps simply being biased-minded, ready to defend GEJ even when he is wrong. First bribery allegation - offering $50,000 to SNG 2nd bribery allegation - offering money to pdp delegates to gain his notes in the pdp presidential primaries 3rd bribery alleation - bribing men of the press with Samsung tab and N500,000.00 notes. These are the ones we get to know. How about the hundreds we never knew and may never get to know if these thieves continue in power? |
@ Pennywise, You're perfectly right. It's not Ghanians doing the e-fraud. It's the Nigerians in Ghana. I wonder where yahoo boys wud go to after Ghana. This 419 thing has become like a conglomerate, spreading tentacles everywhere. A Proudly Nigerian initiative |
[size=13pt]Expect crazy stories about Buhari and Ribadu on the headlines of our dailies. Journalism which ought to be the voice of truth has now become a tool for government manipulation. Where are the GEJ supporters at? The pictures are just too real to doubt as the magazine is the same one that was given to the journalists yesterday. Is this the kind of corruption we want to continue? Nigerians please vote wisely, [/size] |
Ghana is doing extremely well by African standards. Of course "by African standards" means there are dirt roads leading past the brand-new, gold-columned presidential palace, and it seems 1 percent of the country is blowing their country's GDP at bars with $50 cover charges while the other 99 is selling bags of water at stop lights. They have huge mineral reserves and lots of foreign money invested in their extraction, all of which ends up concentrated in the hands of the president, his cabinet, and whichever of their cousins they're getting along with at the time. The Ghanaian government likes to boast that their unemployment rate is in the single digits and they're creating millions of new jobs a year specifically targeting the youth bulge, but when you pull up a pile of rubble and sit down with a member of said bulge, the story seems a lot less cheery. The actual unemployment rate for 15- to 24-year-olds hovers between 25 and 30 percent and unless you're a relative or close friend of someone in the ruling class, you can look forward to a long and fruitful career in water sales. But Ghana also has a reasonably sophisticated technology infrastructure and has declared itself the "Internet Capital of West Africa," which is kind of archly tragic because right now the internet is the only thing keeping the kids at bay. During Nigeria's oil boom in the 70s, Ghanaians flooded into the country to take guest worker jobs. Within 10 years they'd worn out their welcome and were deported en mass back to Ghana, but not before they'd picked up a popular local pastime: the Nigerian "pen pal scam." The way it works is you become pen pals with some dolt in America or Britain, bitch about how hard your life is in Africa, then wait for them to send you money and presents. See the rest of The Sakawa Boys at Motherboard.tv As computers made their way into the continent, the scam was adapted to e-mail and gradually evolved into the rainbow of weird phishing messages from state treasurers and estate managers and plane-crash lawyers that crowd your inbox every morning. And as scammers got hungrier for bigger pickins, they hooked up with hacker-types from the U.S. and Europe who taught them basic credit card fraud, which they combined with the playacting of the e-mail scam to create increasingly elaborate -- and profitable -- superscams. Then for some reason they combined all of this with black magic, and that's how Sakawa was born. In the same way that hip-hop went from a music style into a descriptor for everything from pants to dancing to potato chips, Sakawa (which originally referred to a specific credit card scam) now means pretty much anything involving money -- if you wear a bunch of flashy brand-name clothes you're dressing "Sakawa," if you've got a nice car it's a "Sakawa" car -- all of which makes sense considering internet scamming is the only way most Ghanaians can afford this. Right now Sakawa is in its salad days. The Sakawa Boys movie franchise has made it up to "Sakawa Boys 8," Juju priests are making a killing enchanting e-mails, Christian preachers are making a killing complaining about enchanted e-mails, and Ghanaians of all ages and interests (but mostly "young" and "not being poor" are packed into internet cafes finding more and more ingenious ways of ripping off Westerners.While a lot of Sakawa practitioners have cooked up elaborate post-colonial justifications where they're just getting the white man back for taking all their gold, a few, like our guide Seva, see Sakawa for what it really is: a massive bubble just waiting to burst. As Ghana overtakes freaking Nigeria as the e-fraud capital of the world, the government is scrambling to find a way to keep Sakawa from wrecking the country's business reputation without cutting off an entire young generation from their sole source of steady revenue. And just to make things more interesting, Ghana just discovered oil. |
LSU:You give us 31(75% fabricated) why we should not vote Buhari. Just want you to know that there are a more than 100 non-fabricated reasons why the clueless chimp GEJ does not deserve to continue leading Nigeria. |
As much as I would love CPC to win the west, I dont think they might be so successful. At best they could win only one state in a free and fair elections. |

GEJ's badluck Only in his government have we witnessed a postponed election, bombing on our independence day and new year day, Jos turned to a killing field, and many more. I'm beginning to think this guy's goodluck is for himself alone, lol |
I never really had support for Buhari untill two years ago. He won my admiration from his great performance during his years of head of state. Though short, people who were matured around that time praise his deeds till date. The achievements of that regime is what makes Tunde Idiagbon indelible in Nigerian history and its termination is what makes IBB infamous as he is today. Nigeria's fundamental problem is corruption, indiscipline and poor morals. The more we try and manage with these ills, the more problems we fall into even in democratic setting as we can see for the past 12 years now. We need strong institutions based on zero-tolerance for these ills so we all can enjoy a good democracy else this democracy would work only for the country's government officials and elites. Because Buhari shares this ideals and would like to incorporate them in this country, I'll beat my chest for him anyday, anytime. Other reasons for Buhari are: - His track record serving under PTF, which was incorrupt and saved Nigeria lots of funds - His clean-standing as one of the only non-corrput Nigerian leaders. As a head of state, he has only one house while local government chairmen have mansions. - Strenght of character. Doesn't make impuslive decisions like some people I know - His perserverance: contesting for the third time after loosing to rigged elections (reminds me of Abe Lincoln) - Humility. Imagine u shaking the hands of someone who insulted you and making him second-in-charge. Unfortunately, Awolowo never made president. so if there's any head of state I would take as a role model in this country it has to be Buhari followed by Gowon. |
@ Agaba123, efisher and other GEJ fans if I am to make a choice between a military man and a dumb zoologist as my leader. As much as the military leader could be extreme on some issues, I'll still choose him to the zoologist. Come on' why is it only his time where elections had to be postponed. Gross inefficiency. That guy should be posted to a zoo or something where he might perform efficiently. Nigeria's too complicated for him to handle. |
agabaI23:Fine lets talk about individuals Buhari - Strict, disciplinarian, non-corrupt, unyielding, masses-oriented leadership, non-pacifist GEJ - Appealing, impulsive, surrounded by corrupt company, supported by corrupt patrons, corrupt(else could you prove the source of his wealth), lucky (to himself but not to his country) Mohammed Abacha - Corrupt, Facilitator of money-laundering. I choose to stop here cos not every situation is that of like-father-like-son. |
If you're looking for saints, go to Vatican city or something. Everybody has his own weaknesses. But the outright fact is that the ruling party - PDP has more ills than any other presently in charge of Nigeria. It'll be dumb to give them another chance after they steered this country in no direction for the past 12 years. |
Beaf: Beaf I should be asking you why you choose to turn unpleasant truths into rumours. Becos some fact doesn't please u doesn't mean u shud debase it. Lets face the truth cos it's something neither you or I can hide from. Your man Jonathan has a lot of story to tell about the source of his wealth |
karl max:These arent rumours. This article was dated 7 Apr 2010, before Jonathan ever declared to run for presidency. |
This corruption is what keeps on baffling me. As humble as GEJ looks, he is still a pepetrator. Voting for this guy is like saying "keep stealing Nigeria's money, we're behind you. But just dont get caught". |

GOODLUCK JONATHAN LIED IN ASSET DECLARATION By Timi Ogiri Ebitare advertisement This memo seeks to achieve three objectives. First is to demonstrate that most public office holders in Nigeria commit perjury-that is lying under oath. Secondly, the article aims to show that the Acting President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan also lied in declaring his assets, which in the laws governing the Code of Conduct, is a punishable offence. Thirdly, the write-up intends to mention some of the undeclared assets of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan- a fact known by many Nigerians but , which have been downplayed because of his humility. Dear progressive Nigerians, when the duo of ailing Umaru Musa Yar’Adua took office on May 29, 2007, as President and Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, respectively, they swore to uphold the constitution and rule of law. Accordingly, President Yar’Adua demonstrated that resolve by the public declaration of his assets and liabilities. This was quite unlike that of the Acting President Dr. Goodluck, Jonathan who was pressured by public opinion and the media to declare his assets in a manner calculated to deceive Nigerians and well-orchestrated to hide the truth from Nigerians. Not long after the Acting President declared his assets, some media organizations condemned the way and manner the exercise was carried out. The first signs of deceit emerged on Saturday, August 11, 2007 when some overzealous operatives of the State Security Service (SSS). SSS officers, obviously acting on the orders of the Dr Jonathan launched a vicious attack on Spynet magazine and tore through lockers, files and computers belonging to the media outfit. It was an irony that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who the media made from the shadows of his erstwhile boss, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha, could be part of a plot to antagonize the press. But that was not his first attempt censoring the press. As Governor, he launched a major assault against Izon Link, a local tabloid which was supposedly sponsored by Timi Alaibe. “This assault on press was perceived to be an attempt by the Acting President to cover the truth”, the Spynet reported. Those harassed at SPYNET include Richard Ogbage, Godsidi, Frank and others. These people are still alive to testify. It should be noted that in the maiden edition of the Spynet Magazine the lead story titled; “The Face of a Fraud?”, “detailed how the Acting President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, former Bayelsa State Governor, mismanaged the State as Chief Executive. The story however did not go down well with Jonathan and his Committee of Friends especially Chief A.J.Turner. What followed was a well-planned invasion of the magazine and the unlawful arrest of the staffers of the media outfit. Although the mater is now in court, Spynet are still counting their loses. This action portrayed him as an enemy of the mass media The second event that prompted the investigation of the assets of the Acting President was the October 21 st edition of The Sunday Sun, where one Mr. Collins Eselemo – Grand Patron of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) and President General of the Coastal Mandate – a coalition of socio-cultural groups in the Niger Delta Region raised some issues questioning the integrity of the Acting President. The Coalition leader claimed that “the Acting President lied in his declaration of assets and threatened that he would incur the wrath of the Ijaw Youth Council if he does not open up”. Prince Eselemo also threatened to provide a comprehensive list of the property of the Acting President and to prepare a show down with him. Ijaw Leaders prevailed on him not to wash the dirty linen of their kinsmen. Dear Progressive Nigerians, asset declaration for a highly placed person like the Acting President is like swearing an affidavit and if the process is falsified, it can be likened to perjury – which is a criminal offence. From the perspective of the constitution as per section 172 of the 1999 constitution” A person in the public service of the Federation shall observe and conform to the code of conduct” Further, Section 140 (1) states that “A person elected to the office of President (including the Acting President) shall not begin to perform the functions of that office until he has declared his assets and liabilities as prescribed in this constitution and he has taken and subscribed to the oath of allegiance and the oath of office prescribed in the seventh schedule of this constitution”. Further, asset declaration is not just an indispensable ritual but a mechanism for sanctioning public office holders who acquire wealth through fraudulent means while in office. Since public servants spend public money, asset declaration is more of a moral responsibility than a constitutional obligation. In another bizarre twist, when Chief Timipre Sylva assumed office as Governor of Bayelsa State, there were wide spread speculations that the Bayelsa State was heavily indebted. Although Governor Sylva in a press briefing cleared the air by saying that his predecessor did not leave behind any debts, there are now discordant reports to that effect. Such indications emerged clearly at a recently concluded Budget Retreat organized by the Government of Bayelsa State where the Commissioner of Finance & Budget stated in unambiguous terms that the State has been reeling under a debt of more than N28 billion. If this assertion is true the question then arises: Was the debt inherited from the Goodluck Jonathan administration? Certainly yes, but Sylva was too loyal to expose his predecessor. Is that revelation so grievous as to prompt the harassment of the Timipre Sylva administration? Is that what should prompt the spurious allegations that Governor Sylva voted N500million to stop Jonathan from becoming Acting President? My Dear Progressive Nigerians would certainly decode the political undercurrent behind the action of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). As a man who could vouch for the integrity of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, I regarded his critics as detractors, who envied his rising political profile. I therefore took on the challenge of conducting an independent investigation. Sadly, however, the investigating showed that Dr. Jonathan could not really stand on a moral high ground to uphold the rule of law or the Constitution for that matter. The results of our investigations are startling but some of them are still inconclusive because the investigator could not have access to certain vital documents. The Acting President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has much more property and assets that were not declared. Our informant who preferred anonymity said that the most annoying project that served as a drainpipe in the Jonathan administration was the Gas Turbine project awarded to an indigenous company owned by an Ogbia Woman. The initial contract value was N4 billion Naira but the sum was later reviewed upwards to N8 billion. Two things were wrong with the contract. First, the award did not follow Due Process. Secondly, rather than buy new turbines, the contractor merely refurbished the broken parts of the old turbine. Experts estimated that not up to N1 billion was spent while the other N7billion went into the pockets of the two parties. Again, one Moses Otazi who served as Dr. Goodluck’s Chief of Staff is believed to have stolen about N150 million from Government House and hid the money at Ewoi his wife’s village. It was reported that thieves broke into the house and made away with the money. A young man from Otuoke who works with the Ministry of Health confirmed the incident and said some of the suspects were even arrested, but when the incident got to the ears of the Acting President, he promptly intervened and ordered that the matter be settled at the Village level rather than give him negative publicity. Our chat with an operative of the SSS at Yenagoa yielded no tangible results as the plain clothed officer was evasive and not prepared to mention details. He however confirmed that such an incident was reported. The said Otazi is believed to be one of the principal beneficiaries of the loots in Creek Haven during the Jonathan administration. Because of the unscrupulous manner Moses Otazi handled the matter, the Acting President refused to take him along to Abuja. The Jonathan administration also huge sums of money for non-existent rice farms. One of such farms is said to have been at Elebele estimated at N300 million. Beyond that the Acting President owns three multi-million Naira hotels. One of them is adjacent to Chief. DSP Alamieyeseigha’s residence in Yenagoa. Another gigantic hotel owned by the Acting President is situated after Commissioner’s quarters along Elebele Road near AIT office in Yenagoa. There are unconfirmed reports too that the Acting President owns a building estimated at N1 billion at Victoria Island, Lagos. The aforementioned property were not declared to the Code of Conduct Bureau as Assets owned by the man. This is in addition to the massive Otueke Hotel owned by Dame Patience Jonathan. Dear progressive Nigerians, it is also a true that the Acting President has demonstrated some quotient of leadership, humility and as a loyal party man. I particularly envy his humility and consider it an advantage that is likely to boost his political profile even before he became Acting President. But it does appear that the Acting President humility to cover-up skeletons in his cupboard. If all these choice property are owned by Dr. Goodluck Jonathan - the Acting President of Nigeria, then he was more than N30 billion Naira richer than he had earlier declared. I do not intend to begrudge his wealth because his humble disposition. Dear, progressive Nigerians, I acknowledge the fact that the Acting - President wears the veil of immunity, such allegations if not clarified with cast doubts as to government’s intention to wage a total war against corruption. This is one of the reasons crusade against corruption and the drive to entrench transparency and accountability is very difficult. The battle has to start from the Presidency down to the Local Government Chairmen. People at the top echelon of power and authority must tell Nigerians the truth so we can collectively pursue the rule of law and entrench sustainable justice in the land. Dear progressive Nigerians, the aim of this article would have been achieved if the Acting President declares his assets now and compel all the new Ministers to do so. The Acting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should ensure that he who must come to equity must come with clean hands.

They still print their books from abroad |
EzeUche:Only South-East and South-South fully supports Jonathan. North Western votes beats the votes of those regions merged together. Sai Buhari, with faith. We can change Nigeria. |
This was undeniably said. But what mazes me about this is the fact that Buhari still shook the hand of a man who condemned him and gave him the position he wouldn't give to his own relation - a running mate. I'm awed by Buhari's attributes and principles. If that recording were to be played again infront of Bakare, he would admit his weaknesses at that moment. |
