This is a LIE.She said she is "part of the political elite class" but not a politician

Thank you and God bless you , that small immature and unprofessional boy who interviewed her was just pushing words into her mouth. Our people dont appreciate knowledge and good things and are too lazy to search for the truth!

Naijiant:
They were speaking English. She didn't know what "political class" meant in English.

She was incoherent most of the time and tried to mask it with bluster.

I didn't pay much attention to the audience. My interest was in the questions and the answers. You seem to be more interested in whether the audience approved. "Do not trust to the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged." -Oliver Cromwell

How she disgraced herself is explained in the link already posted.

She tripped herself up several times. One minute she claimed Nigeria lacked “capacity” in relation to fighting Boko Haram, the next she said we are not a “weak country”. Erm.. if you “lack capacity” you must be “weak”!

[b]Check around 4.32 of the video She said the problem was the GOVERNANCE of the security institution and went further to say the issue was the CAPACITATING the armed forces which has CAPACITY. (this means a gun is deadly but a weakling behind the trigger makes the gun weak and useless…an indirect reference to the weak FGN) She clearly had to separate the Strong armed forces from the weak FGN! No controversy, no tripping…only clear to the impartial and the open minded She was going further to refer to the changing capacity and was explaining when the rude interviewer butted in with the comment on the gov of borno state!...she also mentioned in the next answer that Nigeria is a strong country (obviously under a weak government!)
Check 5.21 the interviewer said she contradicted herself and she said with emphasis…..not lack of capacity but lack of capacitating capacity…the guy was obviously not listening and not understanding


Let me draw your attention to the unprofessional conduct of the interviewer when he asked the question on human right abuses (around 7.00) She clearly said the allegations of abuses needs to be further investigated by Nigerian govt and she obviously was not willing to condemn the entire Nigerian Military operations because of specific instances! The interviewer was asking her if the military was guilty or not guilty!......Not all things in life are yes or no. The fact that HRW, US, UK UN pick a few videos and generalise does not make our own army bad. This is Africa and in military operations you kill or be killed. You cannot generalise from a few incidents.

[/b]
She claimed she was not a politician and did not belong to the “political class” – despite holding at least two ministerial positions! The woman didn’t seem to know that those positions are political and once you held them, you belong to the political class!

Definition of politician - a person who is professionally involved in politics, especially as a holder of an elected office.
Definition of Political Elite - The political elite are the most informed, educated and politically active people who have a strong influence on public official
Indeed the interviewer and yourself do not know the above definitions which you can google and check !. She said I am a Political elite because I cannot be part of the lowly populace with my exposure and education!...however I am NOT a politician and I do not belong to a political party or have to dance at a village square! Check 8.5 to 9.00! Oby was right and she knew what she was saying! Very funny the unexposed interviewer was even being sarcastic about it!...The disgrace and shame was on him!

She was nailed to the cross with the questions quoting former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission boss Nuhu Ribadu’s Wikileaks comments in which he stated that Obasanjo was very corrupt, and his regime was more corrupt than Abacha’s. Ezekwesili squirmed, tried evasion, tried bluster and never coherently dealt with the issues. She was a useful tool for laundering the image of the very corrupt Obasanjo and part of the a very corrupt government.

[b]Nailed to which Cross?.....She is an exemplary lady…she refused to be dragged to the low level of name calling and sensationalism that rules in Nigeria. One of the issues with Nigerian elites is that they have found joy in gutter life and beer palour not bar life. Even Seun Kuti who is living off his father’s popularity and relevance …after smoking igbo is also taking Ill of Madam Oby ….unfortunately most of the literate and well-read people have joined the fray. Speaking to an International audience on a satellite network is different from discussing over a bottle of 33 export beer in a local joint. You can’t accuse or judge people without empirical evidence! The laws of the land abhor it
The low level street man sees everyone in government or anyone who can afford a new house and car as a thief! That is the Igbo (hemp), mentality. The fact that MANY police officers are corrupt does not mean ALL are corrupt. The fact that some American soldiers were abusive in Iraq does not mean ALL American soldiers are abusive!
Let us think like scholars and literate people….The Nigerian Legal system unfortunately is a replica of UK Judicial system as our colonial masters. Everyman is innocent until proven guilty (not by gutter , beer palour talk but by a competent judge!) When did Ribadu become a judge? Is it not the same Ribadu that said Tinubu’s corruption case was of International dimension, he said Tinubu will face the full wrath of the law only to turn around a few years after to extoll the virtues of the same man and contest as a presidential candidate under Tinubu’s party. Ribadu has shown over the last few years that he is not consistent and may not have much of integrity as he claims he does. Why would Oby declare OBJ corrupt on account of the testimony of an unstable fellow like Ribadu?
Bode George who went to jail has been pardoned and no man should call him a convict because the law has discharged and aquitted him. He may be judged further in a moral court. If you call a man corrupt on International TV without evidence to substantiate your facts you may go down with a suit of defamation of character or libel.
Oby did the right thing by not allowing that immature boy of an interviewer to hound her into condemning a man based on sensationalism. She asked for empirical evidence and the only thing the boy could refer to was TI ranking that did not rank OBASANJO as a person but his Government ,WikiLeaks an illegal source of information! From an unstable fellow! She asked him to invite Ribadu and she did not mention the fact that Ribadu was unstable.
As educated people we should sit on our backside and think with the head not the other way round!
[/b]

The session just went downhill from there.

You can see a half cup of water as half-filled or half empty depending on the way you want to see it. I feel the interview went up beat in favour of Oby from that point. With the boy throwing tantrums in his questioning.

A gentleman from Borno asked how poor provision of education was a factor in the spread of Boko Haram in the area. And Ezekwesili, who was once minister for education, tried to blame the man for not contributing to educating his people. It was embarrassing to watch.

Maybe I am being too Nigerian! But the Borno gentleman (Garba Sanni ) 34.18 asked Oby why the OBJ regime did not solve the educational problems of the Borno area where he was born and bred (A direct attack on the OBJ administration and Oby as Education minister) Her answer was direct and clear. Anyone who cares would know that the State and LGs are primary in charge of Basic education and her answer was clearly that POVERTY ALLEVIATION AND EDUCATIONAL ENHANCEMENT NEEDED MORE THAN THE INTERVENTION OF THE FGN ! she enumerated the fact that the State and LG take 50% of the allocations. Her challenge to the guy was …why sit and abuse FGN lazily when the state and LG are there to hold on to. Simple! And makes sense.

Her responses to the role of the World Bank, where she was a vice president, in Third World poverty were what James Brown would describe as “talking loud and saying nothing”. When the criticism of the bank from former vice president Joseph Stiglitz was put to her, she jumped in claiming he was her “friend”. As if name dropping made any difference to the point.

It was meant to prove that no personal in her strong response! It made a difference.

She rounded up her show of shame with some baloney about establishing an “office of the citizen”. How about asking that education ministers actually did their jobs in providing education for all, rather then expecting the citizens to do it by themselves?

You have refused to understand her point and her point was …carry people along in the process of governance! Don’t sit in a big government office and decide what is good for the people without involving the same people!

You really must wonder how far standards have dropped in Nigeria when people like Ezekwesili are held up as the way forward.

Indeed standards have dropped if people who are not open or allow their personal opinions to affect independent blogging. There are no standards in profiling or just sensationalising. Blogging is not gossiping or an outlet for dripping personal vendetta it is a mature business!
There was a disconnect between the boy who interviewed her who was so much in a hurry to show he can talk but was immature and unreasonable in his questioning and a serious minded executive who had intellectual things to say



Oby had a very good outing and I am proud of her as a Nigerian

Naijiant:
They were speaking English. She didn't know what "political class" meant in English.

I have said before that there is an International and local part to it....not a yes or no answer.....cultural difference! The Interviewer was hounding her and taking words out of her mouth and pushing his words into it. He did not allow her to explain what she meant....cutting her off rudely

She was incoherent most of the time and tried to mask it with bluster.

Again, at the initial stage the interviewer was hounding her! He did not allow her to complete sentences and tried to put words into her mouth! At a point i felt the interviewer was unnecessarily rude and antagonistic

I didn't pay much attention to the audience. My interest was in the questions and the answers. Hypocricy is the practice of claiming to have higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case.
You seem to be more interested in whether the audience approved. "Do not trust to the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged." -Oliver Cromwell

"Vox populi, vox Dei" - The usage indicates that the phrase had long since become an aphorism of common political wisdom by Alcuin and Charlemagne's time. This is the essence and foundation of democracy. The audience you should note was not and could not have been a man on the street. I recognise one of the people who asked the question as a GM in a Multinational Oil company in Nigeria!

How she disgraced herself is explained in the link already posted.
http://www.naijiant.com/videos/from-madam-due-process-to-madam-public-embarrassment/

I will analyse your thoughts in your blog which I disagree with and tell you why I disagree in another post

Naijiant:
You must mistake me for Oby Ezekwesili who had problems understanding what "political class" meant.

There is a local angle and a standard angle to it. It is not a yes or no question and did you note that the Interviewer was hounding her and trying to place words in her mouth.......did you notice she was firm and coherent and turned the tables around in the end?

She was applauded severally by the audience and the Interviewer also acknowledged her achievements. How did she disgrace herself?

Naijiant:
To give Madam Due Process her due, she was terrible!

Oby Ezekwesili, one time minister for education and minister for solid minerals under the Obasanjo regime, aka “Madam Due Process”, and lately the frontwoman for the Bring Back Our Girls campaign, went “Head to Head” on Al Jazeera with Mehdi Hasan at the Oxford Union.

Poster your topic shows you did not watch the full video!...or probably had issues with understanding the discourse!

mojeer678:
what's this one saying?

IT should read the piece very well!

mojeer678:
Insulting the messenger won't detract from the message.

Do you know the professional qualifications of Sen. Adeola? Must you come to expose your ign.orance & fo. coupled with ill-breeding here?

Ouch! I touched a naked nerve!......There is a big difference between Having Understanding , a clear mind and qualifications.!........ Take note!

Qualifications will not take the place of Uncommon sense and native intelligence. E.G Okonjo with her qualifications is unable to manage Nigeria's economy!

Obviously the Senator Adeola lack rudimentary understanding of how Oil and gas works, how government works and the engagement of auditors and accountancy practice. If he does not know must he comment!

The messenger matters....a man who is drug or high on whatever substance should not distract the intellectual thought process of Mr Buhari

Kayendy:
All dese boils down to d removal of subsidy... let's wait and. see what Buhari will do abt d subsidy issue...

I don't agree sir , this is what the government wants us to believe. If there is corruption in the military should government stop funding the military.

Why do we have Subsidy?

---Failure of Government to make refineries work or provide enabling environment for private sector to run the refineries!

What is government subsidising

-----Corruption from the importation process
-----Taxes collected from the point of landing to point of sale that goes to FGN
-----Cost of distributing the products to the hinterland due to the failure govt to maintain and operate pipelines of allow people who can to run them to do so efficiently.

Why are they not paying Marketers
--- They have spent all the money on the reelection bid of GEJ

The Minister is just trying to use cheap blackmail....is she saying the entire claims are unverified ....if they are unverified why? and if they are verified why have they not been paid.

Clueless Govt ......26 days to go...thank God!

Image123:
Oby is right in this context.Politics is different from governance, don't get it twisted.

yes , by all means Locally they are different !

Internationally they are one and the same and that is why the Interviewer could not understand the difference. He did not give Oby the chance to explain and kept hounding words into her mouth. If I were on the hot seat I would have told the interviewer to shut up!

Image123:
The unfortunate situation in Nigeria means 99% of those commenting cannot afford to and have not watched the video/interview. The woman even commended the current GEJ administration well in the interview. About government work, she said only divine persuasion can make her work for government in future, even the coming Buhari administration.

Thank you and God bless you!

I watched the interview from beginning to end. I note where she praised GEJ's social security reforms and the audience applauded

Many who are insulting this intelligent woman did not watch the full interview. Seun Kuti who commented is still bitter that his dad got a beating by OBJ and he wants the whole world to demonise OBJ!. Seun needs to clean his brains of IGBO and know that he is not in anyway a leader of thought. He may have talents but he is living in the shadows of his father. Many with better talents from peasant homes roam the streets uncelebrated.

Nigerians do not read and are very comfortable with bandwagon mob sensationalism effect. many who comment on the PwC report have not read it! why would the woman say OBJ is corrupt when NO court / No Tribunal / Nobody has indicted him with real evidence? Only a person of low intelligence will go on international TV to call a man corrupt without evidence!

In my opinion Oby did creditably well and shone in this interview and I am proud of her!

This is what happens when votes are cast along party lines and not individual competencies....

The senator's comment demonstrates a mix of

lack of knowledge on the subject matter + Drugs + quest for relevance + Sensationalism

Its a shame such dull people will sit in the hallowed chambers to represent us!

Abefe, Oluaye soro soro RIP....

bigtt76:
Something is not right in this write up


1. She said the man, who she later identified as Seun, took her to Ojota in Lagos.

She said Seun took care of her for two weeks, while she recuperated from her injuries.

Precious added, “One day, he said he wanted to help me to get eyedrop because my eyes were swollen. I begged him to allow me to follow him, at least to see the sun.

Question
Who is Seun and how is he involved in the whole conspiracy? Has he been arrested?

2. “He obliged me and while we were going, my slippers cut and I went back into the house to pick another one. I was on my way when I saw Kelvin (Okito) my maternal cousin.”

The Ohaozara, Ebonyi State indigene, said she narrated her ordeal to Okito, thinking that he would rescue her.

Question
Is Kelvin connected with the cultists or Seun? Too much of coincidence here

3. Precious said she had pleaded with a man that had indicated interest to sleep with her on a night, to allow her make a call with his phone.

She said she called Okito and told him she was suffering, begging him to talk to the woman to allow her go.

Okito was said to have assured the 15-year-old that he would do something.

Question
Why did she call Okito again? Why not call her mother whom she's been craving to call and had phone seized earlier?

We can never know the truth but to me it seem the girl must have ran away with the men #justsaying

I agree with you, there are too many reasons to doubt the girl and her cousin and her parents

I will not allow my daughter at that age to travel to school unaccompanied at that time of the day. Father is going on about the money he has spent!

How did the cultists who should be a random group hook up with her cousin?

Police should ask the parents, and the girl more questions. This is, to me, a case of business gone bad!

cap28:
the difference between US subsidies for farmers and the so called oil subsidy in Nigeria is that the former actually exists while the latter is a scam that is being used by the Nigerian govt to get the masses to pay for something that they never enjoyed for one day. The US farmer subsidies genuinely help to keep food prices low while the Nigerian "subsidy" is a smokescreen used to make Nigerians pay more for something that they should be getting cheap.

Also no US citizen will tolerate the abuse and economic exploitation that the Nigerian govt and its western collaborators inflict on the masses hile Nigerians continue to place their hopes on thiefs that have let them down tiem and time again.

Same goes for the UK, if the govt tries to remove the social welfare safety net the british people will bring the UK to a standstill, Nigerians will continue to wish upon a star.

I agree with you 100% but the Problem I have with IMF is that they are calling for the scrapping of the subsidy whereas the issue we have is corruption. Fuel is pegged at 85 per litre because of the subsidy in place (real or phantom but likely phantom) Diesel now costs 150 after removing subsidy.

Do we have corruption in the US and UK subsidies and welfare systems? Yes ...is IMF calling for the scrapping? ...NO and there lies my problem of IMF applying double standards.

Nigeria depends on road transportation to move people, produce and goods around. Most of the road transportation is driven by Petrol, to the Nigerian man an increase in the price of petrol will push up living costs significantly! and no viable alternative like rail, water and air transportation to mass transport goods and reduce costs.

IMF and the world bank should focus on huge dollar outflows from the country to help track money laundering activities if they are really interested in Nigeria.

Fuel subsidy will fizzle out when we can refine the crude locally until then let the subsidy stay because money saved from subsidies will only be stolen by politicians....check the speech Jona made after the Fuel subsidy protest and you find that he did not fulfil any of the promises.

IMF should leave us alone and allow us to develop a home grown solution to our problems.

ImF should carry its badluck go front!

They should remove the subsidy America gives its farmers and manufacturing concerns first. Remove the monies given to Boeing and Airbus etc etc.......remove the subsidy to Uk farmers and grants to their unemployed citizens before they come and tell us gutter talk

The solution to the fuel subsidy which is the major Nigerian subsidy is to build and stimulate the building of local refineries...thats all

Im happy most of the subsequent posts have addressed the issue......just a few points to add;

1. Mr Dokubo and Tompolo who are big men have money and material possessions to live for theyare not longer suicidal
2. How many bridges or water projects have these govt made millionnaires put on ground for the people they claim to love
3. If you see war and strife can you wait ...its easier to hide behind an IP address and declare war
4. Do you have evidence that Buhari and APC are behind Boko haram? If you dont please hold it
5. If you dont have the evidence against APC members, I expect the outgoing incompetent fellow should have used the security forces to investigate and jail Buhari rather than chasing everyday Nigerian with the security apparatus.
6. Buhari is a strong and decisive leader if you try him ...you are gone this is no longer the Incompetent and lilly livered

Please take note OP

chacoonder:
Mr Kintatunte, You mean you would ignore an ambode that is controlled by Jagaban and vote for a jimi that is controlled by Bode George!!!??...If this is truly your intention, then i think you are about to make one of the biggest mistakes of your life..Pls do have re-think. ...

On point......Lagos is better under Jagaban than Bode Ole............from the look of things....Ambode is in the lead. I hope he wins.

Bye Bye to cluelessness, incompetence and recklessness! 16 years of misrule and backwardness at the centre.

I am happy my children now have a chance in this country and indeed lagos.

Let the change and development begin!

PS: APC has a big burden to deliver .....people like me will be on their case to ensure they deliver.

I was born in Lagos and have lived in Lagos for several years .

I know a Lagos where people do not care about your tribe and race, where opportunities abound for everyone irrespective of your tribe race and religion. Anyone can dare to struggle and succeed in Lagos. In Lagos civil service we have people from all parts of Nigeria.

All Nigerian tribes and states are represented in Lagos size-ably and they live without fear and call Lagos their home. This should be a uniting factor and should bind us together the more.. not divide us.

I have watched with surprise and disdain how the events of the last few days heightened by the statements made by the Oba of Lagos has spiraled out of control setting one tribe after the other, redefining who falls within the circle of Lagosians or not ....who owns the land and who has rights to the land!!!

While i hold my own opinion in this saga....I am quite ashamed the bashing and counter bashing by blind people (across social strata) who do not see that the politicians are all behind this. They have succeeded in bringing religion and tribe into Lagos politics only because of their selfish gains.

Our Nigerian politicians are hopelessly greedy and self centred; why would we break the bond of love that binds us as residents of this great state and create divisions.

I urge all the people who are inflamed and have built passion over the matter to please redirect the anger to politicians .

Lagos cannot survive with the introduction of tribalism and religious bigotry

Think and act wisely

My own little cents of advice

asha80:
if I am not mistaken otedola was also neck deep in subsidy scam

You are correct

Subsidy and bribery Scam
Bad loan scam

He was Discovered by OBJ, flourished under GEj he was a strong member of GEJs economic team and now romancing with Buhari!

Buhari had better use his sense and stay clear of such parasites. I think it is morally wrong for him to be a frontline GEJ man and run so fast into the hands of Buhari.......so shameless! Even if he supported GMB he should respect the past president a bit by lying low.

Meanwhile his business is one of those killing our economy.......Importation is one of the major issues we have as a nation. If people like that continue to make billions from diesel importation then our refineries will not work.

Buhari.......watch out o

zeb04:
I take my insult back.

Maam ....I doff my hat for you.....God bless......I believe our country is at the dawn of a new era of progress...I hope and pray Buhari will hit the ground running and keep focus. He should also be put under pressure to deliver!


It is well

zeb04:
talking bad about jonathan dosent add to your miserable life, take a clue from the people's general.

Jonathan only problem was his bad advicers which I pray won't be the same for buhari.
I voted for change but I still respect the mature,everpeaceful Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

Maam.... I respect women and will not insult you but I will apply the lesson I learnt from Jega today. You dont need to call my life miserable because I viewed my opinion about Jonathan's presidency. You need to be mature and non insultive in expressing divergent opinions. I have seen other posts that disagree with me and I respect those posters because they have not insulted me.

My Point which I still maintain is that the guy was incompetent (Incompetence is not an insult ) He is an intelligent and good hearted leader but incompetent to run Nigeria. Note that my position is that people in power including Buhari need to sit and think rather than allowing their supporters and aides to mess up their names. Today Jona is taking the flank for all the inactions and failures of his aides and that is my point. Otedola and Dangote would have been with him in Aso villa celebrating if he had won . He depended so much on people like them and unfortunately they are so quick to line up behind Buhari!!!

Hilarious.........GEJ till 2019 .......at Otuoke!

Im I seeing double is that not Femi Otedola and Dangote that used to follow Jona all over the place? Ha life!

Jona has gone down as the most incompetent president in the history of Nigeria and he will travel the cold , lonely path of rejection till his dying days.......all because of the insincere and unintelligent people he surrounded himself with ...people like Orubebe and these rich Any Government in Power money bags like femi, Dangote etc etc

All human beings should live and learn!

Acidosis:
All true Niger Deltan will take up arms against a BUHARI led administration. It's not wickedness; they are simply learning from their northern brothers - boko haram.


When it happens; people like me would rejoice and be glad to call Buhari a clueless illiterate

Chibok would turn Expatriates

Sambisa would replace all Oil Corporations down South.


Even with Oil; Aregbesola find it hard to pay Salaries; by the time Asari Dokubo is through with the figment called 1 Nigeria; The State of Osun governor would be forced to withdraw and auction all the "Opon Imo" in Osun state

He who laugh last; laugh best

Your Post is very disturbing sir and its unfortunate that you are preaching violence. When you see proper violence you will run!

However if anybody goes up in arms during Buhari's regime, they will see the difference between an effective and competent leader and a weak incompetent fellow!

Henrypraise41:
Punish him and let him face the consequens, idiot he supposed to protect her not to kill the innocent girl.

Sir, I do not see anything incriminating against the commissioner in the report. I think the police should do their work and anyone who has evidence of abuse should come forward.

There is a possibility the matter may be pushed on the commissioners head because they know he can settle!.........The wife gave an account that no one is interested in.

Hope justice is not miscarried and that the true perpetrators will have no peace.

shadowgwalker:
nah, it's not fake oh! ph police are too rugged. agborôs dey even fear female police pass.

lol...... They should post some of them to Lagos to tame our uncontrollable danfo drivers

That is an armoured Toyota Coaster Bus!

The story sounds too simple to be true ...I suspect the driver was picking passengers on the road and not in the proper park!

He deserves more in my opinion............How do we make Naija a better place ....by preaching to those animals who drive taxis and buses?

We are in Nigeria and we should be realistic. The same people will complain that govt is doing nothing to stop traffic congestion

Finally the report looks too skewed for anyone to form an opinion.


Just my own thoughts

Do you have a decent miniflat around Ogolonto ,ebute area?

BERNIMOORE:
you grew up experiencing power failures, 'up nepa' when they brought light and 'ooh' when they take light, buhari fail to fix it as a president in1983, obaSanjo as an elderly fail to fix it too, but out of hatred you people want Jonathan to fix it in 4 yrs, obasanjo became a saint the moment he adopted buhari, that alone speaks volume that the change is 'deceptive'

Thank you sir,

If i remember very well, Buhari contributed and progressed significantly the Egbin and jebba power stations but completed by IBB. These are power generation facilities that are now part of the main backbone of the electricity system today.

Buhari met a nation in chaos and in the height of insecurity on 31 Dec 1983, his Govt had to ban a lot of importation, deal with corruption and indiscipline, stimulate economic growth and restore the nation to the path of growth...when he was overthrown in August of 1985 roughly a year and eight months after. The power situation had improved, Nigeria had cut off the IMF, Nigeria was more secure , the Naira was stronger, corruption and indiscipline had been dealt a deadly blow most corrupt politicians who adorn our landscape today were safely tucked away in prison or in exile. Specifically on power there was improvement in power but this was rationed.

Obj channeled the excess crude proceeds to the NIPP project he set up and built about 9 power plants ........he connected at least three states to the national grid including BAYELSA.......like him or not OBJ took giant strides in power but the process was burdened with corruption but he had results to deliver. I am alive to say that power supply was better under OBJ, dipped slightly under Yaradua then improved under Barth Nnaji of GEJ but the moment GEJ unwittingly and incompetently allowed Barth to go , we have since not recovered we only enjoy power supply on the pages on newspapers , on CNN and in GEJ 's speeches


Now the generality of Nigerian who are asking GEJ to rest do not hate him, these are the same voices that shouted when the CABAL of YAradua was holding him hostage as VP...it has nothing to do with race and tribe or person.......we need Nigeria to move forward under a strong focused and purposeful leader ship. GEJ has not demonstrated he can do these because yes he has worked but his work is not commensurate with the time he has spent and money he has drawn down. I live in Lagos pls name one new project he has put on ground in the commercial nerve centre of the country!

Mind you Jonathan has occupied the seat for six years and this is more than enough time for an effective person to win the hearts of the people. He has worked on Rails, privatised PHCN, Provided steady supply of fuel, renovated roads, started resurfacing of major roads but all these are not enough several billions of dollars and 6 years after
Its all mouth , policy and no action. We see the economy of Naigeria growing in leaps and gallops only in Okonjo Iweala's head and GEJ's speeches.

Would you even call a 57 year old man young!...as far as I know OBJ and Buhari are more physically effective than GEJ.........OBJ would work almost round the clock........Buhari at his age works at least 17 hours a day.......I no want SSS trouble but find out GEJ's hours of Operation and the reason he missed the AU summit the other day

Look beyond tribe race or religious sentiments and do not allow your son to abuse you tomorrow as I abuse my father because they allowed GOWON to squander the resources of Nigeria that would have been used to diversify the economy. I personally do not want my son to blame me for allowing and ineffective fellow to rule this great Nation for so long. We should not put a rotten foot forward.

Just my opinion

Unfortunately most drivers will look, say religious stuffs....and go back to reckless mode........

The accident in my opinion was a successful suicide attempt.....the guy overtaking was reckless and the guy being overtaken was wicked....hope he is happy for now allowing the reckless driver to overtake and go. Some driver speed up once they see someone makes to overtake.


bottow lone we should all learn to be more careful and considerate to other road users ...u may save a life.
