[quote author=Arch1 post=27851353] Okay
Tell us about Bayelsa, the presidents home state. The only tarred road in Bayelsa is the road leading the government house in Yenogoa.

The poor people living in the creeks at Bayelsa are still drinking and bathing with guinea-worm infested water; what is The PDP government of Bayelsa doing about it[/quote

Politics / Re: The Many Lies Of Buhari And APC Supporters by crystalzoe: 10:35pm On Nov 06, 2014
Sibabasibaba1:
Another oft bandied lie of these Buharistans is that Buhari Ekwueme was jailed for corruption. Ekwueme was the first politician to be picked up by Buhai boys on the day of the Buhari coup-31 Dec 1983. Nothing incriminating was found on the guy. So, to incriminate him, Buhari sold a lie to Nigerians that $56,000 was found in Ekwueme's house. Till today, nobody apart from Buhari and perhaps, Idiagbon, his 2iC, saw that money. Other accused politicians were tried in the military tribunal and jailed. But Ekwueme was neither taken to a tribunal nor a court--not even a kangaroo one. For 20 months the man was jailed without trial. Later, a panel set up by IBB headed by Justice Uwaifo investigated Ekwueme and returned a verdict that politics made Ekwueme even poorer. He praised Ekwueme for his forthrightness. Till today, Ekwueme has never been found guilty of any crime in his days as Vice President.

Yet, these Buharistans keep passing off this gross abuse of fundamental human rights as an achievement. Too bad!

They say Buhari can never allow corruption to fester. Now, I grew up in the old Imo State. I was small chap when Buhari came on board. Before Buhari's coup, Sam Mbakwe was the governor of the (old) Imo State, comprising present day Imo and Abia as well as the Afikpo axis of Ebonyi. Mbakwe was everything any state would desire as a governor. He set out to industrialize Imo. The infrastructure his government built in the old Imo has yet to be rivaled. He established Imo State University immediately he became governor. The university, along with the then Bendel State University (now Ambrose Alli University) and Lagos State university were the first set of state universities in Nigeria. They were all established in the same year. So, Mbakwe did well by all standards.

Buhari's government appointed Ike Nwachukwu the military governor of Imo State. Ike Nwachukwu (meanwhile Nwachukwu's mother comes from Buhari's Kastina State), under Buhari, set Imo State back just like Buhari set Nigeria back. It was as if he was out to undo all that Mbakwe did. He appointed his cronies the heads of the industries Mbakwe built or maintained. Thence commenced the gradual degeneration of Imo. Worse still, Nwachukwu's government forced civil servants, teachers, students and pupils in the state to pay what was called SURVIVAL LEVY. I was in primary three then and I remember I paid N12. Yes, N12. It was a relatively big money then. Remember, in all the great things Mbakwe did in Imo, the people were never levied. That money was looted as till today, nobody can point to what Ike Nwachukwu's government did with that survival levy. Yet, Buhari did not see that as corruption. But his followers tell us that he loathes corruption.


That is why you can never win me over with Buhari will fight corruption bla bla bla. What is even corruption? Corruption, according to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary is "dishonest or illegal behavior, especially by people in authority". This shows that corruption goes beyond looting of government treasury or embezzlement of public funds. It includes any illegal behaviour. Going by this definition, coup plotting is a crime by Nigerian law. Thus, it is an illegal act. It is corruption and nothing more pretentious. Thus, Buhari, a confirmed coup plotter and human rights abuser, the man who promulgated the decrees 2 and 4 of 1984 to jail journalists who report the corrupt activities of his regime, is CORRUPT. Enough of Buhari's hypocrisy.


Fellow Nigerians, corruption cannot fight corruption.

So all of a sudden Tamumuwal has become a saint. Lolz! I'm not surprised anyways, all decampees suddenly turn saints to these supporters of APC. Shopping for followership at all cost. As for Gej no loud mouth will take God's favour from you. Who Jah don bless, no one fit curse!
yes oh! *in tufaces' voice* whom God has blessed no man can curse.

Politics / Re: Photos Of President Jonathan Praying At Mount Carmel on Sunday by crystalzoe: 7:12pm On Oct 27, 2014
DailyNews:
Plz Nigerians desist from judging people; you or I aren't God to know who is truly worshipping God or not.

Note: to please God isn't just by keeping the law and the 10 commandments, but by FAITH and humility.

And from the little I know, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the first humble president Nigeria has ever had since independence.

He is a listening president.

And of course he has his flaws- being too linient with some issues concerning corruption (prosecution of corrupt leaders), but just like Jesus Christ commanded us, its not good to pay evil with evil...you can still win your enemies by showing them love.

And if anyone believes that there will be one man who would come and change Nigeria into a paradise overnight, that person or group of persons are just daydreamers! Past Nigerian leaders took corruption too far, which led to the pollution of Nigerians minds, lifestyle and belief generally...so it would take more than a good president to change Nigeria into what most of us dream of.

Let's keep praying for Nigeria and at least recognise the president for doing some good- rail transport transformation, Ajaokuta steel rehabilitation (which many past Nigeria's presidents couldn't do), automobile assembling revival, improved power, etc.

President Goodluck is not a saint, but he is a God-sent president and if not for sabotage from top Nigerian politicians and past leaders, Goodluck would have transformed Nigeria beyond what we all are seeing now. Pls let's support him.

If Buhari is as strong and intelligent to transform Nigeria as we are meant to believe, how come he was easily lured away to Mecca by Babangida, who then took over from him in a palace coup?

Buhari is just a strict man, not an exceptional leader that some Nigerians believe he is. I wish he gets the chance to lead Nigeria so that Nigerians can see and appreciate Goodluck Jonathan's efforts.

May God answer President Goodluck's prayers for Nigeria.

Finally, judge not so you won't be judged!!
u have spoken well. he that has an ear let him hear

Neatboy:
Just because of hate and envy I don't know why most people will not want to give honour to whom honour is due. Just imagine someone crediting OBJ instead of GEJ for our economic growth and development. It's quite disheartening and unfair!!
don't mind them!when Obj was in power he was heavily criticized. now his tenure is the best. we don't usually value what we have. we r shouting Jona as if he created the problems his administration is trying to solve. its easier to destroy a house than it is to build it. Jonathan has done well. he still has a lot to do and he might not win my vote as the best president ever,he is not perfect no one is,but he has done well.

This is the question wise political thinkers often ask Amaechi: How many project did you do while in PDP and how many have you done since you left for APC?

Politics / Re: What Is The Diff Btw A Minister And A Minister Of State In The Same Ministry? by crystalzoe: 11:02am On Oct 24, 2014
Pennywise:


Sometimes we try too hard to find solutions to problems that do not exist or we go rigmaroling/sommersaulting looking for answers that stare at us in the face.

Minister of state is a creation of the Obj Goverment to deputize for a substantive minister. The real essence is for political jobs to go round. It was an expedient decision of Obj to spread the goodies among supporters and loyalists not minding that state resources can ill-afford it. If GEJ had any leadership spirit in him, he would have since abolished that position. I suppose we all have to wait for Buhari.
so it is Buhari that will come and abolish it. ha! I laff in Chinese
