GDP which is not being enjoyed or felt by the good people of Nigerian. How do quantify GDP, by speculations or propaganda, and by the way its not what the clueless one did that brought about this report but by the size of the country with respect to man power and not the TANist agenda that brought about this report. PDP have failed us and change is the only way out!!!! vote for change vote GMB by clicking like button!!!

Bull$HIT....

Tats:
What has this growth rate got to do with the lives of everyday citizens? Citizens in many Countries that have growth rate of 1% and 2% live far better than those with higher statistics. Yes, there are improvements in Agriculture and for farmers but that's because of the vision of one man - The Agric minister. If only all the others were like him!

Who appointed the man and oversees his performance?. If buhari is such an anti-corruption genius, he should handle the reins of EFCC.. If his over bloated ego would let him

ooshinibos:
Looks like we have to form a government of unity here ,
1. GEJ remains as president
2. Buhari becomes Prime minister
3. Amaechi Fashola becomes secretary of state


Thats my compromise
what do you think guys ?

All the same, GEJ till northerners realise it's not their birthright....

barcanista:
So because GEJ ddnt send him means GEJ should continue to promote a system that promotes Military rascality?

Buhari's WAI brigade was the definition of military "rascality"

OK go n sleep
Sai Fail Buhari

Fixed... Goodnight.

THERE are two kinds of Buharists: The
Classic Buharists and the Neo-
Buharists. The Classic Buharists
genuinely love Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari. To them, he is the epitome of
a true leader. They truly believe he is
all they say he is. They think he is not
corrupt and that he is even
incorruptible. Their devotion to the
man they like to call the “People’s
General” is total; bordering on
worship. No contrary argument can
burst their bubble. In fact, you dare to
persuade them that Gen. Buhari is not
the man they think him to be at your
peril. Violence, verbal and/or physical,
comes natural to them when they
think you denigrate GMB.
The Neo-Buharists are recent converts
to Buharism who fed too long on the
well-orchestrated narrative that
President Goodluck Jonathan is “clue-
less” and is incapable of leading
Nigeria. They have been led to believe
that our country’s state is dire and
that things are at their worst possible
state. They believe “$20Billion is
missing”! To them, “nothing is
working”. It is futile pointing out to
them the achievements of the
Jonathan administration. They see
none whatsoever. They want
“change”.
Ordinarily, the Neo-Buharists would
never even have considered Gen.
Buhari as presidential material. They
know him too well. They are not
impressed about Buhari’s
antecedents. But they would rather
not discuss it. Since they are
convinced that President Jonathan has
not performed well enough they
believe they have no option but to
settle for Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
To reassure themselves about the
rationality of supporting Buhari, they
are quick to point out the difference
between a military despot and a
democratic President. They are
forgiving of Buhari’s inglorious past.
They hope he has changed. They are
not unaware of his many short-
comings.
They know he is a religious
fundamentalist who is an avowed
proponent of the implementation of
Sharia across Nigeria. They point out
the impossibility of instituting Sharia
nationwide in a democracy and
remind you that their man did not
even do so when he could as a
military Head of State. To them, it
matters not that the brand of Sharia
Law he advocates is a contravention
of the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria which he would be
sworn to uphold should he be
President. They equally ignore the fact
that he once called on Muslim voters
to vote only for Muslims even as he is
now tranversing the country soliciting
the votes of Nigerians of all religions.
Neo-Buharists are mindful of Gen.
Buhari’s lack of administrative acumen
and management capacity. But they
are ready to excuse his incompetence
and make a virtue of his notoriety to
transfer responsibility to his
immediate subordinate. So they
highlight the qualities of Prof. Pastor
Yemi Osinbajo, his running mate.
They see the Professor of Law as a
would-be proxy-President and even
push the idea of an outsourced
Presidency as a great idea.
On the issue of combating corruption,
the Neo-Buharists do not like to be
reminded that the General’s financiers
and close political associates cannot
explain how they became so wealthy
as public officials. They pretend that
they have not noticed the sudden
change in the General’s anti-
corruption mantra. He will now only
prosecute (and “send to Kirikiri”)
those who remain corrupt after he
becomes President!
But Neo-Buharists have lingering
doubts; serious doubts. Their own
idealism will not allow their
consciences rest. They have nagging
questions about Gen. Buhari.
Questions about his past; questions
about his future. Does he have what it
takes to lead Nigeria at this stage of
his life? Is he the change they seek?
What is his vision for Nigeria? Does he
even have a vision? How will he
accomplish all that those who speak
for him say he will do? Is he in poor
health as is being rumoured in some
quarters?
And the Neo-Buharists Doubts are fed
the more as they hear him speak on
the campaign trail. They know he is
uninspiring; but, with the new trendy
garb he adorns, they hoped for more.
They do not expect soul-stirring
speeches but, at the least, not the
usual dull and incoherent drivel.
Haba!
As the doubts grow, sadly, some Neo-
Buharists would simply settle for
apathy. Those of them who actually
have the Permanent Voters Card may
very well decided that they will not
violate their consciences….and stay
home on February 14, 2015: the Fail
Buhari Day.

Something in me doesn't want Desmond Elliot to win.... All of a sudden, because of a political post, he is a Lagosian?

Where was that Lagos affiliation all the while? I think Yoruba impostors should get any vote in Lagos...

Did he ever claim not to be a lagosian?

bolivnnaija:
Clap for yourself. Is only in this dispensation that you know you have been earning billions of dollars in oil. Jonathan has been transparent enough to pass the FOI Bill, that is why ur here making all sought of noise.

This dispensation has brought to bear transparency like no other before him. He has empowered more like no other by building more schools and intervening in agriculture. If we have previous leaders working this way, you won't be in India. Cut the guy some slack. He is not responsible for your misery but he is responsible (partly), for your future wellbeing

Tell them ooooo...

What's wrong with this kind of trains to be in Nigeria. Nawa 4 GEJ

Gonna take decades, man... The Japanese shinkansen train project started as far back as 1930's, was halted during the world war and continued in the 50's...

The Japanese budgeted an equivalent of 12 trillion naira around 2009 for ONLY the upgrade and expansion of the bullet train network which would take not less than ten years.

When kpmg hailed our 25-year rail plan, several critics cried that it's too long.. The fact is that the best time to have gotten our rail right was in the 60's and 70's... The second best time is to start now (which GEJ is doing) and plan in the long term... It's gonna gulp tens billions of dollars and the private sector must come in .

Billyonaire:
Excess Crude Account (ECA) is different from External Reserve Account (ERA).

The purpose of the Excess Crude Account is for deposits of funds in excess of the budgetory benchmark i.e when the price of crude oil is beyond the budget price. And the function of that Excess Crude Account funds is to cushion the effect of inflation and marginal fluctuation difference in the event of lower price of crude. This is the account that Rotimi Amaechi of APC has been fighting the Presidency to share the money to Governors.

Right now, we should be grateful to Ngozi Iweala for the wisdom to retain the funds, because it is the funds that's used to stabilize the naira, ordinarily, Naira is supposed to lose three-quarter (3/4) of its value, from say 160 to a dollar to 400 to a dollar due to the current fall in price of crude oil to 3/4 of its price. But na this Excess Crude funds that we are using to stabilize the naira in the FX market. We also touch this money to take buy military hardwares that were not budgeted for during the 2014 budget etc.


I supposed keep quiet but I have to inform the illiterate APC goons that we know their stock in trade. Their job is to shout out of ignorance.

School them, man... Though some of them can't comprehend what you wrote.

I think we should all forget about all this certificate distractions and focus on rellevant issues towards the election and wat each aspirant can bring to the table.

NO!.. He must produce it

netizenbuzz:
I'm an economics student so what do you think?

give facts and figures....

netizenbuzz:
You people are just bringing achievements we can't account for. I'm an economist a student and I'm wondering when the inflation rate reduced?

Then run your research and prove them wrong.

babadee1:
Don't fool yourself. Vote GEJ if you want to but don't pretend that you believe the lies.

Point out the lies there pls... With facts of course...

You fuc|ked up abeg!!... You have your reasons though. I doubt you've been friends for a long time.

MadCow1:
He said he would only do one term... Now he has gone back on his words.






Down with cluelessness..

Vote Change.. And if change doesn't work, we would change it..

A certain retired general said the 2011 election would be the last time he'd contest....

scribble:

Don't start again pls.....

On a serious note, I travelled down to Lagos today expecting to hear "sai buhari" mantra from everyone's mouth. "shockingly" so far, no one, I mean Nobody I met throughout today and discussed politics with is in support of buhari... I've discussed with like thirty people while in transit from Ojota to surulere down to festac and maza maza....

Via a retroactive law?? You should be disowned

ToyozzieTohBad:
Am not "Dude" ok? Now who is going to attend your 100 jelosimi (in 6 years) when they are being butchered on daily basis..

Mademoiselle, pupils are already enrolled en masse, thousands of kid urchins have been taken off the streets and you're still asking "who's gonna attend the schools"?... Get real, sis...

Rich4god:
How come the southern schools are one one, but the northerns are two two... What ever happened to sharing the cake equally...

Well, he has done his best to bridge the educational lacuna in the North. Unfortunately, no matter how you season the fried rice and chicken, a cow would never appreciate it to eat.

SaintRobs:
Can Mr poster be more objective by posting the tution fee in each of the versities?? Let's see wether a common man can afford to sending his ward to the school,if truly GEJ cares for the poor parents.

Hehehe.... Tori don change... Don't worry, the fees are far lower than the level Fashola hiked Lasu fees to.

ToyozzieTohBad:
My country people what is the benefit of a building when nobody is living in it?

What am saying is if 50 children out of the 2000 people killed in Baga are destined to go to dis self contain university..what is the benefit?

What is the benefit of planting your crops on a pest infested ground? Do you know how much is budgeted for dis project and how much is actually spent in executing it?

I don't blame most of dis saTANist..naah..none of your family members got caught in dis 6 years Bombing parade.. So u can be easily tempted by self contained schools..

Ever wonder why his children don't attend dis Red brick schools? Oh you are just thinking about it...

The whole world is watching..we know the truth..my friend was cut short last year..and u are here telling me about school? You have not even eaten... We know the truth..after 6 years..no we cannot be deceived...

Dude... the boko haram problem was caused partly by lack of basic education and societal neglect. Let's tackle the problem from the source. We can't solve it by gunnery alone. Over a hundred almajiri schools were built in the North in one of the most progressive educational projects in Nigeria's modern history.

motherlode:
Oboi no be Nigeria enter one chance ooo but nah GEJ enter ooo and dem go sell im part if e no smart!
By may 29 Nigeria would have a good and competent leader in Buhari/osinbajo to fully diversify the economy to reduce the dependence on oil.

Na by mouth?

juman:
Buhari pronunciation is funny.
nigeria is a big country comprises of many ethnic groups.

Despite I am yoruba person, I sometimes forget prof. yemi surname.

Na lie joor.....

MadCow1:
Freedom of press issue... Really?! Show me one Military head of state anywhere in the world that allowed press freedom? Even Obasanjo didn't as a head of state yet championed the Freedom of Information bill as a Civilian president. You guys need to learn that the dynamics of military rule is different. You don't allow certain freedoms because information is power that can be used against your government. It is what military heads do.. Buhari can't come and repeal the FOI bill when he becomes president. Now he had the house of reps and senate to deal with. So please pocket this line of yarns as it is absolutely pointless.

Violence inciting tricks? So una no wan give up? Sit there let them rig the elections again and fold your hands waiting for God to change your nation. The docility of Nigerians to everything including when your rights are being trampled upon is what has given corrupt politicians impetus to keep taking us for a ride. It's like a man saying if you rig the election again, I will burn down inec office.. That's not inciting violence, that is sending a warning that he will not standby and be taken for a ride.

What next do you have to throw at Buhari?

Mind you... Everytime you throw stones at Buhari, remember to look at GEJ and ask yourself if that character is what you want for nigeria.

Lock up joor.... You don't see anything wrong with one urging his supporters to lynch anyone suspected of rigging?.. Holy crap! To think about it, that dude needs some anger management therapy. Not to digress, there's no excuse for jailing journalists indefinitely for expressing themselves. It's their Bleep|ng job!!... I believe if Hitler were Nigerian, he'd have had the audacity to recontest as a "progressive" as well... Advice your geriatric Messiah to go retire... We all know that the 72 years he's claiming is "football age".

That lady is clearly shit-faced.... Hehehe

MadCow1:
We are happy with his old tricks.. GEJ does not even have any tricks up his sleeves.

Yeah, his old press-freedom-stifling, violence-inciting tricks....
