leavn aside political party....

Ramalan yero z far beta dan el rufire.....
I dnt care abt ur own opinion xo pls dnt quote

Yero? Why will you be calling Yero when talking about performance naa? why? Am just a bit worried about the Sambo PDP connection, hope they wont rig him out o. Nigeria needs his kind.

Lets see, if he does well, he may be able to vie for president after Okorocha's 8 years (i.e Buhari, then Okorocha, then El-Rufai). Would make sense die.

I think this is a good move. All progressives need to stop talking and get to work; lets see what they can do when given a chance.

General Muhammadu Buhari this afternoon in Kaduna declared total support for Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s governorship ambition in Kaduna state in 2015 elections.

Speaking at the El-Rufai’s public declaration, Buhari, who addressed the audience said the people of the state needs El-Rufai to rescue the state from bad leadership and decay.

He said “I am here to ask deliberately for your support for El-Rufai, he is the right man to fix Kaduna right. He is courageous and has what it takes to perform. He is the solution to your problems; you need sincere and competent leaders like him.”

El-Rufai in his address said, “I consulted widely with people –from traditional rulers, respected elders and public officials that can speak out, as well as ordinary people who have no voice but rely on someone to speak for them. My purpose was to listen to the people and understand what they wanted from the state government and how the government and the people can work together to develop our state.
“To say that I was shocked by the level of neglect is an understatement.

Our road networks have fallen into disrepair; our schools have no basic teaching and learning tools; our teachers are not motivated; our hospitals and clinics lack essential resources to mitigate the challenges of healthcare and our civil servants are not being sufficiently motivated.

Poverty has become worse; unemployment has become more pervasive; agricultural productivity has declined; internally generated revenues are too low to even pay salaries. The picture is indeed very bleak.”

There should be a law that there should be well-maintained toilet facilities for the public in ALL public buildings, or buildings where people generally have access to. This will help a great deal.

Once this is done, then it can be made illegal to defecate or urinate outside, and the person should be charged with indecent exposure as well. But if this is not done, then abeg free people jaare, who can resist the call of nature?

Reno Omokri aka Wendel Simlin lol

GenBuhari:
I don't blame you. i can see it is not your fault.

My friend, get your stinking bottom out of this thread immediately. You emit an odoriferous fetid effluvium. Please leave my thread.

GenBuhari:
k

This he-goat, you have come to infest this thread with madness too, abi?

Smooyis:
Lol. What is the difference between 'mad' and 'crazy'? Even though he may not be the best candidate, i really think GEJ stands a better chance to retain his position.

He is not retaining anything!!! In this Nigeria? Where will the vote come from?

Majek Fashek is Jonathan typical type of supporter - hungry, irrelevant, igbo-smoking people, so no shaking.

GenBuhari:
Who is Thief Olusegun Obasanjo?


The ex-president that invited IMF officials into CBN and paid white man creditors $16Billion cash whilst Nigerians suffered

This guy, something must be really wrong with you. I even thought you're a reasonable human being. See how you displayed your foolishness here and messed up like a baby all over the place. smh

gists:
Sorry about that. Good Point and noted.

No harm, no foul bro

Mehn, Jonathan is really having it hot this time around, no joke.

Reno Omokri aka Wendel Simlin

Pataki:
SaTANic liars. We don't call them PDP for nothing.

Jonathan, Okupe, Abati, Moro, etc will surely end-up in jail post February 2015.

Who remembers Reno Omokri posing as one Wendel Simlin? hahahaha, dis people nor go kee me oo

Chai Nigeria ehhh....

Chai Jonathan ehh.....

Diaris God ooooo......

doctokwus:
I always like to seperate Buhari,d upright,God fearing man from Apc as a party.
What Buhari's strategists shud b doing is bringing up strategies to get d electorate in his strongholds out.We shud assume for purposes of dscussion dat most part of d east and ss wud b manipulated to favor Gej,but wt 3 big states viz,lagos,kano,Borno being under control of apc,d numbers here wud neutralize whatever magic figure gej wud av in d east;afterall dese states no matter what can't produce more dan their registered voters.
One way to do this is to stat canvassing for volunteers to mobilize voters to come out& guarantee dem of their safety.A massive turn out and vote for Buhari in Kano and lagos alone wud neutralize whatever gain gej wud make in d entire east and ss,bearing in mind rivers and edo state are likely neck and neck.
Its not just by sitting & typing on nl supporting buhari,voters nid to b massively mobilized to guarantee d otuoke man goes back to d creeks come 2015.

You mean like neighbor-to-neighbor, right?

Hmm, there is fire on the mountain. Guys, Nigeria is at war o, in case you dint know before.

Why no presidential address till now? Do we have president?

juman:
The ministers brought in by obj to president jonathan government are not criminal. Minister like Akinwumi Adesina, and Olugbenga Ashiru.

President jonathan failure is based much more on his cluelessness.

So you mean, even with good people a clueless leader can render them useless? interesting

gists:
I am not a fan of OBJ at all. But give credit when/where it is due. Here is a more comprehensive list. It was here on nairaland before but somehow got missing:

Oga, why you come deface my thread with all this na? Nobody is gonna read all this crap, you could have summarize it in one post, or open your own thread na.

barcanista:
Can you do a comparism among: between GMB, Gen Obasanjo, Gen Muritala, Gen Gowon, Gen Abacha and President Obasanjo?
Using these parameters:

1. Fiscal Discipline
2. Corruption Fight
3. Executive and Government Indisciplne
4. The Economy
5. Security
6. Rule of Law
7. Dispensation of Justice
8. Sincerity
9. Internarional Reputation

I will appreciate an insult-free discuss

Oga barcanista, leave GMB matter here, I was small when all these people were president (was actually born in Shehu Shagari's regime). The opinion I gave was from democracy to now. So comment accordingly

GenBuhari:
So basically what you are telling me is that he achieved nothing tangible in 8 years

Non of the things you listed is of anyisgnificance to the man on the street. brb no time now.

My friend, keep quiet. Wat do you mean? Would you have that China fone dat ur using to type this nonsense? What about all the people working in MTN, Glo, Airtel, Etisalat, Huawei, Multilinks and all dose type of companies? What about all the alaba boys or the guys in computer villages eating from unlocking fones, pimping fones, selling recharge cards and repairing mobiles, what about all the FDI from it and gains in internet coverage? Believe me, that policy alone has created millions of jobs and the only thing that would come close is when someone fixes power.

That is only one sector oo, I dont even want to go into banking or the other sectors. Why not argue intelligently? What affects lives more than food to eat. Is it raising fuel price or locomotive train or rebasing economy that has benefited Nigerians? Take time o

freelife4all:
You are an enemy of Nigeria. Well, since this is your opinion, i don't need to abuse you. But to be frank you dey talk like person wen dem break in head. OgborOgbo.

Though I don't know what ogborogbor is, please can we have your opinion too with facts and figures? Who has been a better president since democracy?

GenBuhari:
@ OP

Are you talking about the Thief O that we know?

smh

So is it cabal Yaradua, or Jonathan that are not thieves? Remember, I was speaking comparatively. So tell me who has been the best then. Jonathan? Am talking about performance now. All past leaders have stolen, big stealing or small stealing!

kasiem:
if obj is a great president why are u guys still telling us that pdp has been killing us since 1999? see irony of deceits

Oga, you seem to have a hard time distinguishing facts from politics. It doesn't matter the party I support, what i'm saying is Jonathan govt is the worst we have seen since democracy. That is the point you need to argue.

Obiagelli:
Gowon will have something to say about that.

What about post-democracy? Leave the whole old generation of leaders, lets class them as same.

jamace:
Obasanjo's ill gotten wealth:
https://www.nairaland.com/1580013/derivation-deprivation-ii-ill-gotten-wealth

I never said he dint loot or get illegal wealth (afterall all the subsequent govts have looted too), am talking about performance now.

iconize:
Genbuhari, please come and do justice to this moronic opinion.

Forget pre-democracy, lets assume they were all equally as bad then, but what do think from the period of our new democracy?

ahmed486:
That is a pure lie

Which part of the article is a lie, sir?

InvertedHammer:
Every President that Nigeria ever had had a litany of achievements under his belt. But what they did was mere repainting of a dilapidated in structure instead of pulling it down and starting a new one with a sound foundation that could withstand a test of time.

If OBJ could not provide constant power, motorable roads and social services during his 8 years in the saddle, then his administration was a collosal waste of time and resources.

The other achievements you outlined was his act on a script given to him by his "masters". So let's not be carried away. Even Ghana that touted such achievements in the past are now realizing that you cannot dine with the devil and come out unscathed.

I beg to differ sir. Jonathan has no such achievements.

First of all, before I am crucified, let me say that what I mean is in a comparative sense rather than an absolute sense; I believe he's performed far better than the others since democracy, and here's why:

He established the EFCC, the ICPC and strengthened the Code of Conduct Bureau to fight corruption in Nigeria. Convicting for the first (and only) time, high-ranking government officials like Tafa Balogun and Alams, albeit politically motivated, I wish the tempo could have been maintained subsequently.

When he left office in 2007, the growth rate of the economy had risen from 3% to 7%, making Nigeria one of the fastest growing economies in the world. He did this by finding really excellent people to work with him eg Ngozi, Ezekwesili, Ribadu, Soludo, El-Rufai, Dora etc. He discovered all these people and convinced them to contribute their quota.

The Nigerian foreign reserve was only $2 billion when he came into office in 1999. By 2007, when he left office, the reserve had risen to a whopping $43 billion and he secured $18 billion debt pardons from the Paris and London clubs and got Nigeria free of debt!!!

The banking consolidation and reform, the telecom reform, the education reform (with Obi's UBE), the due process office reform, the servicom reform, the privatization reform, the NAFDAC and NDLEA reforms and finally, keeping the peace, both internally and in our international peace-keeping mission that always brought us glory, were all from this administration. I wonder how we were surviving without GSM in 1998, and how many jobs that revolution created. All this in 8 years, while Jonathan has been there since February 2010 (4 years plus now), with absolutely nothing to show for it except corruption and insecurity. Jonathan's locomotive trains I think is a good start sha.

He wasn't perfect, but I think to have achieved all these is somewhat commendable, especially the institutional strength he built in the country. I'm always in tears when I compare that to this near-imbecilic government that people are shouting all over the place about because of rice and beans they will get. We deserve much better.

A person who fails to plan; plans to fail.

The fact that Nigeria cannot plan beyond any current year is a shame on itself.

When the leaders mouth off about vision 2020, they have no clue about the subject of discussion.

Heck. OBJ is more than 70 years. Do you really think he cares about life 20 years from now?

But Nigerians will form Team OBJ, Team GEJ, Team GMB and sing kumbaya!

Nigeria should keep praying that Russia bows and comes to the negotiating table else the slide in oil price will continue--Thanks
to Saudi Arabians, Hedge Funds and US Government.

Nigerians are in for a very long thing, as the street smarties would always say.

\

Oga, let me beg you for something. When you make such analysis, don't put OBJ's name there. He has done more for this country than we really knew at the time. Telecom revolution, na him, banking revolution, na him, even the excess crude account and sovereign wealth funds for crude savings, na him do am before all this useless govts came and depleted everything.

Debt cancellation na him, EFCC and ICPC formation nko, na him still do am. I never thought I will say this, but OBJ has been our best president, at least so far. Looking at the cluelessness and near-imbecility of this GEJ, it is now I know how much OBJ tried.

OBJ ruled 8 years at very low oil prices, by next year GEJ will complete almost 5 and half years and upon the astronomical oil prices, has absolutely nothing to show for it except death, destruction, corruption, mismanagement and bankruptcy. What a shame.

OP, here is the answer to your puzzle.

D, C and B die.

Animation of stone rolling down can be found here:

People who say the cut stone cannot lift the other stone have forgotten one very important principle in physics: MOMENTUM.

The rolling stone gathers momentum as it moves down the slope and this displaces the difference in mass.

Rockyheight:
I wonder what party this renowned chief finacier was coming from, before joining PDP a few weeks back! Jaytee01 little prick do u know?

Mumu, he left from APC. The question you should be asking is what made him so uncomfortable in APC that he had to run away, and what is making him so comfortable in PDP now that he is able to be in Mr President foreign delegations? That is what you should be asking.
