This is classic, APC turned Abuja to London.

Change agents indeed!!

Kai agrieved people' congress don't know the difference between Olorunsogo 1 and Olorunsogo 2. What hatred will cause eh!!

Thank you to the Nigerian Army guys out there in the battles of Notth east Nigeria. I know you guys are not perfect but you guys are doing better than myself. It take more than guts to stick out your lives to ensure other people live. I pray God to keep you guys strong with assured victory sooner than later. Thank you once more, I know you guys can do more!!

Buhari will wake up on April 1st and be like so NIgerians have been planning this April fools day for him since 2003!This is the climax of his trials and all these good weather celebrations will stop. Please GMB should act like Fayemi and congratulate GEJ as soon as results are announced, we do NOT want any more bloodshed even if they are his brothers in the north being killed by those he denied basic education in 83-85

A few yrs ago I was departing Abuja airport to town but the taxi took a turn to escape Lugbe traffic... He drove through the above farm and I was in awe at the Level of on going work. Whoever calls that project out cos of political melee is not a progressive but a bitter soul!! Let us give development a chance in that Obodo naija.

This is so funny, so PDP have succeeded in making APC their trash can? In this my life eh, na only PDP I de dear after God; only them can navigate these sort of gammicks...

We had uninterrupted power supply in the late 70s and early 80s. Maintenance of power infrastructure was usually done on Saturday mornings but you'll be preinformed via local radio at least a week before the scheduled disruption.

All the military regimes paid no attention to amenities. So that's when the problem started.

Note: I lived in Enugu then so I can't speak for other parts of the country.

Bro we didn't even have the entire country covered electrically by then and we all can still remember a NEPA newspaper cut of 1969 with the caption " there will be 24hrs energy supply the next year"... My parents never enjoyed uninterrupted energy supply, makes it difficult to agree that Enugu had such high supply while the rest of the country had epileptic supply. My point is Buhari did not do these things 30yrs ago when he was younger, don't know the manner of magic he can perform in his 70s

eduj:
bro i have learned not to appeal to the logical sides of many people here on nairaland.THEy make irrational assumptions, attack you if you tend to correct them en then bring tribalism into the matter.THe most annoying trend such people have is their relish in commiting a fallacy known as the "shifting goal post" u just would not score a goal into that net no matter the evidence or logic u apply.hope this election happens very soon.Nairaland has turned into a mudane political propaganda medium

You are so right, their level of propaganda is alarming... I feel they are sowing seed of discord to render the elections unfree and unfair even before results are announced. They are in for a shock!

karlriz:
Mavin crew wil soon get there but not yet (2 me oo)...Dbanj may be less gud musically now, accepted!...buh ma point exactly is wen de were together. Doz guys were da bomb doz days. Their combination na tornado, individually sef dey be storm...even Dbanj's album(D entertainer) n Wande Coal's album bin almost sell pass pure water cos each of d track na dynamite (Suddenly, fall inluv, igwe, ogbono felifeli etc....bumper2bumper, ten-ten, d way I giv u, etc)...anyway dnt wanna say much on dia albums cos dat aint d point of arguement. But I'm not feelin mavin yet like I was feelin mohit..#We dnt av 2 share d same opinion..always remember!...#Shockvalues

.

compare them side by side and you will arrive at a more suitable comparison. kswitch still don't have an album and WC has 1 album in like forever. Don't know your yardstick but remember half of Mohits re in Mavins in addition to the raw talent of raekado and bello. You can't rlly compare back then to now cos social media does so much for promotion of present day acts.

Peace and go listen to katapot by reakado!

tatosh:
Don't see your point

Purge yourself of blind followership!

karlriz:
Still misin d Mo'hit crew....da best All star crew naija has ever produced (so far)...#humming Mohit "close 2 u" song..."na lie I de lie ifa I tel u se ah no feel ya bodyyyyyy....I wanna be close 2u yeeea...(Ma best part of da song is) I se dem like koboko, nigeria gals gbadun koboko..

You are so wrong bro, only WC is the difference between Mohits and Mavins, off course Dbanj will always be big but still musically big? I am feeling the Mavins crew more than Mohits wella, they seem to have a song out every month.

tatosh:
For your information sir, Olusegun Obasanjo started this power plant project and some others which have been completed by GEJ But the reality still is we don't have light... Solution...

GMB/PYO

Are you for real? Obj's power projects were bidded for and won by himself, then came late Agagu and unaccounted $16B. Dig up those files and read!!

Jonathan is not working yet we see giant projects being commissioned all over the country! People should for once be fair in judgement, if those that want to tke over power now had done these projects in 1983-1985 will we still be in this level? Off course they were more concerned about canceling Jakande' rail project than pushing for people friendly projects.

Please those old enough to remember the 80s should tell us if we had uninterrupted power supply then and what they did to correct this life long national disgrace.

Some of these reports are not even news worthy... Lamido is a mole and should depart with Obasanjo. GEJ is the incumbent president, whatever he wants he will get... Obasanjo can keep ranting and should enjoy his new progressive party. Now we know APC ruled Nigeria btwn 1999 and 2007.

A little too late? PDP need to change their planners, we ought to be ahead of peeps like OBJ. This expulsion has been long over due.

Such a kind hearted gesture!!

Airforce1:
Smiles

Amen bro, I still believe in the coming of your album.

Airforce1 is performing tonight, venue is Times Square ( New York City)

APC children be like;

My surename is Osunbande, the vicer{sic} president of APC

dguyindcorner:
He never made reference to one CJN when he said that stealing is not corruption. GEJ practises a galloping corruption.

EFCC IS DEAD!!!
ICPC IS BURIED!!!

GEJ AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE CORRUPT ENTITIES.

I still remember that episode vividly, you should try to look for the transcript before making uninformed remarks online.

Pa Buhari should consider writing NECO, I'm sure he can make all needed papers in one sitting.

This is my plot and it's not for sale

Modified.


Dbanj need move on from this break up cod Jazzy already did and is doing wonders with diff artists.

Dbanj himself agreed that he changed, what cud he have done to have made jazzy say he will change any radio station that airs dbanj' voice ? It means Dbanj must have really hurt JAzzy coz we all know Jazzy is a peaceful person.

He should meet Jazzy and make peace... It's very obvious he needs Jazzy more than ever before!

some people need to follow this simple example!

DenBosch:
I hope so... I need one of d basic necessity of Life which is Shelter, this cold is really killing me.. Any help from u wil be appreciated

Go to stella' blog, they do a lot of give aways but they have to verify that your story is true

If only the president can focus on campaigns for now and free OBJ... Goodluck has the God factor working from him since 1998 and I do not see God failing him with or with OBj

Chieppp Oyeeengbun!

omenka:
I don't think there is anyone out there that genuinely likes Jonathan besides some of his Ijaw brothers who've benefited from the free for all stealing that is going on under his watch.

I genuinely like him and will keep voting for him ahead of your crying General

Did you guys see Nyesom and AKpabio?

Lol PDP power to the people

The Federal Government, yesterday, responded to the allegations made by former President Olusegun Obasanjo against the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, including an alleged squandering of the nation’s $55 billion foreign reserve.
President Jonathan and Chief Obasanjo
President Jonathan and Chief Obasanjo
The Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala explained that the former President got it wrong, stating that former President Obasanjo left a gross reserve of $43.13 billion, comprising the CBN’s external reserves of $31.5 billion, $9.43 billion in the Excess Crude Account, and $2.18 billion in Federal Government’s savings in May 2007.
It stated that the reserve peaked at $62 billion in September 2008 under Yar’Adua when crude prices rose to $147 per barrel before falling to $31.7 billion in September 2011 as the Central Bank of Nigeria had to use much of it to defend the Naira, following the 2008-2009 global financial meltdown.
The ministry maintained that President Jonathan never in any way squandered the nation’s reserves, but appropriately utilised it in the course of normal transactions required for the development of the Nigerian economy.
The statement read in part: “It is absolutely not true that the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan squandered the nation’s reserves. The facts are clear and indisputable. At the end of May 2007, Nigeria’s gross reserves stood at $43.13 billion, comprising the CBN’s external reserves of $31.5billion, $9.43billion in the Excess Crude Account, and $2.18 billion in Federal Government’s savings.
“These figures can be independently verified from the CBN’s records.
“Secondly, it is a misconception to think that reserves are immutable or cast in stone. The reality is that since May 2007, the reserves have fluctuated in line with developments in the international oil market, rising from $43.13billion at that time, peaking at $62billion in September 2008 during the Yar’adua/Jonathan administration, when oil prices reached a peak of $147 per barrel, and falling subsequently to a low of $31.7 billion in September 2011.
This fall in reserves was largely a result of the vicissitudes of the global economy and oil market which caused the CBN to intervene, using some of the reserves, to defend the value of the naira.
“Thirdly, the excess crude savings which is a component of the reserves, was largely used to cushion the economy at the height of the global financial crisis in 2008-2009.
“Fourthly, it is true the savings in the ECA would now have been higher but for the fact that a number of governors, against strong professional advice, actively kicked against continuous building up of the ECA and, indeed, pushed for its sharing. It is on record that states even took the Federal Government to court on this matter,.
“In the fifth place, it is also worth noting that the Jonathan administration built the first ever Sovereign Wealth Fund for the nation in which savings are being made for future generations and infrastructure investments.”

It is common knowledge that the PDP always come out with the X factor when it matters most. I remember last elections had permutations of an ACtion Congress dominated National Assembly, only to find PDP dominating as usual. I know too well that old PDP politicians will unleash these tricks in the last weeks leading to election proper...

I support continuity until APC substitute Buhari with Fashola!!

Hahaha, where is my omalichanwa ( Anita Isedeh) and where is Tosin Buknor?

Yes I concur, been following the president on Facebook since 2010. I remember a Tanzanian classmate was filled wit admiration for my country cos our president seem to b able use social media to communicate wit the citizens of Nigeria.
