Kalu, who had, while declaring his intention to contest the highest office in the land, said the hardship and despair across the landscape, occasioned by poor governance

True confession, I was a bad governor and I was planning to continue being a poor leader, but there are others who are actually worse than me, since Nigerians want poor leadership I have decided to allow a greater "poor leader" to continue to give poor leadership to the fools and slaves who call themselves Nigerians. SLAVES!!! Kalu which of your gang members do you say we should follow?

[size=20pt]Meritocracy required to produce visionary leaders![/size]

The problem is that we don’t have a meritocracy and potential visionary leaders are not likely to break through all the way to the top, nevertheless, things are slowly changing.

Imagine someone like BRF (Fashola) with clear purpose, vision and leadership and ask yourselves if he could get to be President in today’s Nigeria, and if your answer is no, then why not? Furthermore, whilst considering his traits, and all he has strived to achieve, imagine how much he could really achieve if he had dictatorial powers (not that I’m advocating this, I’m just citing examples).

If we turn to a meritocracy, and start getting the right personnel into positions then progress and development would flourish

Are you a Christian? If yes do you believe in the bible? If yes do you believe that David Oyedepo preaches that his members will get jobs beating those who are more qualified than them? How is that for meritocracy?

And dont blame Oyedepo he is just preaching what he got from the bible.
Forget meritocracy forget visionary leadership. Why because God has said "The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, " Ecclesiastes 9:11.
What does Ecclesiastes 9:11 mean

Nigerians stop complaining. Join us and lets Kill Goliath

Without Sahara Reporters Nigeria will be a far worse place than it is today. These are citizen journalists. They make tremendous sacrifices to their well being to carry out  these tasks. This type of dedication is uncommon in Nigerians. In the end Sahara Reporters is as good as we the citizens make it. Citizen Journalists need every one support and participation to be effective.

Kudos to you Spearman. And in the end Nigeria will be as good as we the citizens make it. Join us. Lets cure the disease and not the symptoms. Lets Kill Goliath

That is the problem with us Nigerians. We dey carry another person quarrel for our head.

@ kobojunkie
"Agressive minority should not force their views and tastes on everyone !" Its true my dear lady. The forcing of their views and tastes on everyone is the prerogative of the Aggressive Wealthy, Cheating and corrupt minority. You must have heard of the Paretto Principle. PDP is but a minority of Nigerians but the are forcing their views and tastes on everyone. Good Morning!!

He maintained that the former president deserved what he got, as according to him, a man in glass house must not throw stones.

In his words: “While I agree that elders deserve respect, not all elders are responsible and, therefore, do not deserve to be called elders simply because they wear grey hairs without inward maturity.

“If our younger brother in the PDP wants PDP nomination, he should earn same through the people’s mandate in his constituency and not through his unwarranted apology to Obasanjo.”

What was the name of the party of elders and chiefs who sold their own brothers and sisters children into slavery? Today their grand children are the leaders and chiefs and eldersd and followers who make up PDP, ACN, ANPP, DPP, Labour Party and ALL other parties in Nigeria. Lets cure the Sickness and not the symptoms.Nigerians join us Lets Kill Goliath.

Kobojunkie:
A vote for Buhari is at least a vote against PDP . . .

@ Kobojunkie My dear lady who is PDP. Is PDP from Angola? or is PDP Iraq? or Iran? or Somalia? No my good lady PDP is Nigeria. The truth is that the same evil, selfish, greedy and satanic and inhuman people who sold their brothers and sisters into slavery are the same people who today are selling the very air that we breathe in Nigeria. Wake up. Stop complaining. Join us! Register today and Lets Kill Goliath.

@Defender 1,
God made all, he also gave us the freedom to choose. I have chosen long ago to be free, and yes I am free. The question is what will happen to this country in the next twenty years if we continue like this? We have to stand up to get some semblance of peace and good governance!

Free! Free? Free how? What are you free from? Are you really ready to stand up Join us lets Kill Goliath and let us show others that we can actually be free!

dami_paul:
Fellow angry Nigerians, the problem is not just with National Assembly. Have really asked ourselves why the Governors are vehemently against the Electoral ammendment? 90 percent of Governors come back 4 second time,has anyone asked what happens to our state members after their first terms? What about the Presidency, the CBN Gov, lambasting NASS because they want to checkmate how he spends over 300billion. The fight should not just be against Senators and Members, it should be against bad leardership generally!

Now you know how people felt when their leaders (chiefs and kings) sold their brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers into slavery because of "mirrors, glass beads and ogogoro".
The children of those same chiefs and kings are those who are members of pdp, acn, anpp, dpp, etc. This time they are selling both you, your parents, your brothers and sisters, your farmland and every bit of earth that you think is Nigeria-your country. SLAVES!!! YOU ARE ALL SLAVES. Sold for Blackberry phones, And Toyota JEEPS. SLAVES!!!. Even if you split the country the part where you will find yourself has already been sold. SLAVE, FREE YOUR MIND, It is not about Yoruba, or Igbo or Hausa or Ijaw or Niger Delta. Are the NASS members only Hausas, or only Yorubas, or only Christians, or only Muslims?

The thieves are making you people to squabble amongst yourselves while they sell you for their own enjoyment

jaygetta:
Enuff talk, let them splitb the country already.

And then what will happen? Theives, Rogues, Corrupt leaders are ever where, Look at what is happening in Italy!! The bible has said "The Heart of Man is Wicked". Stop talking about splitting the country and start thinking of how you can convince every Nigerian to stand up, Register and Vote for One honest person. But where is he going to come from. Honest people do not have money to contest elections.

jason2010:
One thing for certain is that if Buhari wins, the following people will spend the rest of thier lives in jail. Babangida, Obasanjo, Abdusalami, and the rest of the Kaduna Mafia. Buhari is governed by intergrity, make una no forget war against indiscipline

Jason2010 Please wake up from your dreams. Buhari will not win. No right thinking Nigerian will vote for him. Pardon me. I accept you are a patriotic true Nigerian. But Buhari? No. The fact is that the rogues, the thieves, the political bandits, the SLAVE SELLERS, the Election riggers, the 30 percenters, have the money and the will to win. verywhere in the world the children of darkness have more cunning than the children of light. Goodnight!!!

Obasanjo is not done yet with this guy, [url]http://www.wazobiareport.com/default.aspx/Obasanjo-proceeds-to-India-for-proper-cooking,-dares-Fayose-to-round-two[/url]
Come to think of it, what we are talking about here is an attack on a former democratically elected president of our dear beloved country. Isn't this an attack on us as a nation?

@LA2
And thanks to that democratically SELECTED president, honest hardworking Nigerians from Lagos to Sokoto suffer from lack of electric power everyday. Businesses fold up because of the high cost of running diesel generators. Which attack is greater? The attack on the selfish, self serving, evil minded corrupt man or the attack on the lives of 140 Million Nigerians?

You people should not forget that it was the 'Cultural Elders" who sold the children of their brothers and sisters into slavery. The same Elders and their grand children "Nigerian Politicians" have now devised a new method of selling their neighbours children into slavery.

The problem now is that whereas before the slaves were taken away from their homes and fatherland now the "Nigerian Politicians" and "Corrupt Leaders" are selling both you the people and the very land itself. Lets Kill Goliath. Goliath today is made up of the elders like obj, his houseboy ibb, their gays gej and atiku and the labour prefect Buhari. Nigerians Lets Kill Goliath

ECCLESIATES 9:11

deols:
GEJ's loyalty is to be first to Nigeria but he seems to be more concerned about loyalty to his party, the party that guarantees him success through rigging, It would have made sense if his post is about congratulating the judiciary for a job well-done and for instilling hope in the mind of the Nigerian people, Gosh!

greateros:
I dont envy GEJ's position now. In fact, i feel sorry for him. by now it should be obvious to him that he is loosing the primary.

GEJ is not a professional politician and if he is smart, he would av realised that his luck is not designed to win elections. His luck is designed for him to get to a position by piggy backing on other people's success. with that fact in mind, he would av opted to remain the vice president to whom ever wins the presidency from the north, and after that, the presidency will be handed over to him on a platter.

But i guess his greed got a better of him.

I believe his strategist were banking on the north breaking apart in their quest for a consensus candidate but they forgot that the north (quite unlike other regions that personal intrest precceds regional intrest), has this strong brotherhood built on reliogious upbringing; can waive personal intrest for regional and most especial religious intrest.

Now can anybody tell me how GEJ with only OBJ (who will soon abandon him when the heat is turned on) and some little unimportant personalities defeat Atiku with the full support of all his norther brothers majority of them retired generals and political master strategist! GEJ better switch to PLAN'B' - DESTROY PDP AND SUPPORT BUHARI TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY thats the only way he can get rid of atiku and IBB for good! cause only buhari can muster the liver to probe their past sins and throw them in the galows were they belong!

oga president, i wil advice u 2 stop wasting your time debating with your "mentors" in politics,or have u forgoting the circumstances that took u to dat seat? this is were your so called Goodluck ends, u even had 2 bribe d save nigerian group with $50m,shame on u oga.

Nigeria has a lot of very good choices in RIBADU, FASHOLA and even Utomi. NOTHING GOOD CAN EVER COME FROM PDP, NOT EVEN GEJ

He who is faithful in little things will be faithful in bigger things. Atiku has shown that he is the Defender of Democracy. If you say nothing good can ever come from PDP what is your opinion on Atiku's stand for democracy.

we represent the people, at the end of the day, what will happen is what the Nigerian people desire and what will be in the overall interest of our democracy.

The National Assembly represents Nigerians, therefore ALL NIGERIANS are entitled to the same money as the Legislators get. N40,000,000.00 per quarter for Senators. Let the minimum wage be N40,000.00.

I think Fashola is a good man with great plans, but we need sooo many more good men in naija politics to be able to move forward at a desirable pace. Only one man can never move a nation by himself.

There are a few good men. Let us be bold and support them in the coming elections 2011.
