Barefaced hypocrisy from the broom wavers.

Decamp to the APC, you are hailed as a progressive, not minding your past and present.

Decamp from the APC, you were bribed.

Una don enter one chance.

Tambuwal was a leader in the house where Farouk's case was swept under feet. Hon Hembewas sponsored by the SEC to atattend a course in the Dominican Republic. He didn't go for the course, and didn't return the money.

And then Tambuwal, a few days after defection alleged Mr President body language supports corruption.

Nauseating hypocrisy.

martin98:
Useless article I must say.
Was it his government that caused the strike by our universities and polytechnics? It was because of failed promises by past government.
Or would you tell me our federal roads are not better under GEJ?
And how has he legalised corruption? He said stealing is not corruption and not corruption is not a sin.
Well, even though it has not started yielding results, we know there is work going on in the power sector and soon we will start seeing results.
Oh! Buhari is not corrupt but he can present a fake certificate.
Oh! He is not corrupt but he allowed 50suitcases to be brought into the country unchecked.
Oh! He is not corrupt but millions got missing when he was in charge of NNPC.
Oh! He is not corrupt but can give a bias judgement; jailing the vice president but putting the president on house arrest.
Oh! He is not corrupt but he can kidnap someone in another country because he feels the person should be jailed without taking the due process.
Oh! He is not corrupt but he can contest for a position knowing fully well he is not qualified to contest for the position.
Oh! He is not corrupt but he can surround himself with the corrupt.
He will fight insurgency, yet he condemn the killing bokoharam member saying it is an injustice to the north.
The same man that failed to condemn the 2011 post election violence by his supporters.
My people vote wisely,,
Vote GEJ.
Vote PDP.

Thank you, dear.

Greed is also a part of the change. Nonsense

GEJ till 2019.

chemali:
You have a point here but implementing the traffic lights require a holistic approach, not just switching them on because they exist. Have traffic demands been analysed? How's indiscriminate stopping by commercial vehicles at key junctions been handled? How is the use of appropriately designed bus stops being handled?
If you turn them on today, like you said, the city will be locked down. If appropriately implemented, it would go a long way in alleviating the madness in PH roads.

Our government is serious. Traffic management is one the easiest functions of a modern government.

All you need do is create a working system, coupled with attendant consequences.

I work as a HSE professional, and sometimes I'm deployed to traffic to control. People will mess up a weak system. When they find a tough one, they behave themselves.

The road madness here is too much.

chemali:
I agree. Traffic lights never work with bad roads. However, there is so much impunity displayed by drivers of cabs and tricycles which even traffic lights cannot handle. Traffic lights in itself won't solve this issue. A hard stance on traffic violations should be taken. The incoming government should clearly have a plan to tackle traffic management as I believe Amaechi has failed in that regards.

Na system wey we no get. If we have a working system, everyone will behave tthemselves.

Why do we behave ourselves when we travel to the West? System. Period.

We should now vote the PDP to continue there shameless looting?

A vast majority of looters are now in the APC pavilion!

talktimi:
The traffic lights in ph are regularly put out of commission (destroyed) by winch people because it reduces the choppings of traffic control officers eg police who would have easily arrested you on a trumped-up charge.

Those who are saying the lights were switched off because of the amount of vehicles in ph are beyond daft.

No mind them. How many vehicles dey here?

Bridgetown:
Jega is sympathetic to APC.

Have you seen this?

ogb5:
The traffic lights in PH were built by odili. Amaechi simply refused to have them turned on during his 1st tenure. Amaechi has not shown any commitment to any project that can be traced to Odili.

Unfortunately the house of assembly that should have questioned him are already in his pocket. Even the Omoku to PH electricity transmission line started by Odili was abandoned for many yrs by Amaechi while the people of PH are in darkness.

Na the change be that na!

GEJ till 2019.

nwafuluozoh:
Whosai? We are wiser this time.

Let's keep watching. Season Two unfolding!

customized13:
God will surely punish those set of people trying to force an old, weak and uneducated man down our throats as president

It's all about some people's narrow interests.

History always repeats itself.

sparkleboy:
Seriously! Is barcarnista no more an APC supporter?

That one na stale news.

He's no more waving brooms.

Yes. It's a blessing in disguise.

customized13:
The truth is gradually unfolding, he keep resting as president too.

Him never even start work oooo

Another Tura'i talking!

History always repeats itself.

vedaxcool:
Oga Mynd44 abeg vote APC, I have read their manifesto and truly when implemented, would lead this country to greatness, their manifesto aren't only wishes but provide concrete steps towards actualizing each goal and strategy listed

Yeah. I've seen the manifesto too.

chemali:
It's a shame though that there is no working traffic light in Rivers. Traffic management is a mess here.

It is. It's even worse around Aba Road.

Abagworo:
Poster there are traffic lights but turned off because they do not help. There are so much vehicles in Port Harcourt. Traffic lights were recently re-introduced in Owerri but people have started asking for them to be turned off. They dont help in heavy traffic.

Dear, we don't have a working system. Period.

Are there more vehicles in PH than there are in London?

We just don't want ro change!

OP, thanks for bringing up this issue. It rather sad to see traffic officers stand in the midst of a flowing traffic to control traffic, when a functioning traffic system could have done it better.

I live around Woji axis, and I can boldly say you are right: there's no functional traffic system IN PH. Aba Road is one my most frequent routes, and from Rumukwrushushi to shell Gate, to Airforce base, to Presidential junction, to GRA, to Waterlines, to Garrison and beyond, there are NO working traffic system. They are dilapidated and broken, and non serviceable.

Last year I even mocked sone Timariv officials with it.

Even with the meagre resources of Enugu, I was shocked to see a functional traffic system.

Omimah:
I wonder if those that commented before me have been to Port Harcourt. The last time I was there I saw traffic lights in Ikoku, GRA Junction by NDDC, Waterlines, Garrison, Artillery, Rumuola, Aba- PH Road by Kaduna Street by Corpus Cristi Cathedral, etc. In fact the ones here had been there when I was passing there in the early 1990's, even when there were none elsewhere. The place became popular to the extent that till date it is still referred to as "traffic light." Ask any person or tell a cab to take you to "traffic light."

My dear, the OP was actually talking about their functionality, not just their presence.

Dem no dey work at all.

If they weren't postponed, we would have by now known who shall be shepherding this nation for the next four years, beginning from May 29, 2015. But they have been postponed. And that event caused no little stir in the whole nation and beyond. I also voiced against it. I felt the tension was too high they elections should have allowed to come and go. But in retrospect, I was brutally wrong; INEC, or whoever that influenced the postponement was wrong. Infact, I believe it was an act of Divine intervention. The most High still rules in the affairs of men, and He gives power to whosoever He wills.
Below are some recent events that proved my assertion:

Boko Haram.

I'm still of the opinion that, though I be a GEJ supporter, he didn't handle the BH insurgency properly. As a matter of fact, he recently confessed he had underestimated their ccapability and passion. These mofos have killed thousands and destroyed properties running into hundreds of millions of naira. I believe the recent push from our military should have come years ago. It now appears the whole thing I being politicised. Well, our boys are really pushing them hard. Shockingly, the BH boys, no more in a hurry to meet their busty 72 virgins, are desperately fleeing the onslaught and even getting drowned in Lake Chad.

My point: These mofos would have killed thousands in an unseen scale had the elections gone ahead as planned. These mofos were planning as INEC was planning. While INEC was planning for elections, the Haram boys were planning wanton savagery on an unprecedented scale. Now, our army is really giving it to them. The army will be engaging while the elections will be ongoing next months. The ability of the mofos has really deteriorated. Good for us all.

Systematic Disenfranchisement of The South

A few days before Feb 14th, I had gone to my ward get my PVC. I got it after two days of trying. Mine was Ward 5 in Town, PH. There was only one lanky INEC official giving PVCs. The first day, he gave out less than 30 PVCs the whole day. And he quietly told me there were about 18,000 PVCs not collected.
Before then, Edwin Clark and other elders in the SS had been screaming there was a robust plan by the INEC to spin the elections in APC's favour by systematically disenfranchise the people of the South East and South South, and some people waved them aside by calling them senile. At the ward, while waiting on the queue, I met with one Garba who was apparently angry with the manner in which the cards were given out. He said in the North, bulks of card were strewn on the ground, and whoever could identify a PVC had it given to the owner. It wasn't so in the South, at least in my ward. INEC wasn't really prepared! And a lot of Southerners would have been disenfranchised!

Northern Elders Forum Secret Meeting

These old folks have never said or done anything meaningful to the development of this nation. On the contrary, they've spewed and continue to spew foolish words worthy of creating tension in the nation. These folks cried foul and dog when Ihejirika was really winning the war against BH. They accused him of genocide, and further threatened to report him to the ICC for committing war crimes. They accuse GEJ of not doing enough against BH but will be the first to shout genocide.
See some secret resolutions they made during one of their meetings sometime last year.

I believe INEC will do better given the postponement. And i believe the elections will be free and fair.

But in retrospect, postponing the elections wasn't a wrong decision after all....

Buhari, we are smarter now.

GEJ till 2019.

aryzgreat:
Thank u.

Buhari could have made name as a retired general if He offered solution on How to end d insurgency, He attends the executive session but keeps mute, no contribution to help d country u aspire to rule

But goes around using d insecurity as campaign points. That if He us elected insurgency will end, without telling us How He intends to achieve that, what d present govt is doing wrong and How He will right them.

My conclusion is that APC is all about grabbing power at all cost not about any silly change

You're indeed welcome.

I used to tacitly support the APC till I finally saw their narrow interests, and I shifted ground.

The APC is banking on the failure of GEJ on BH to garner support for their cause; giving any meaningful advice to the President on tackling BH will make his government more credible-something they cant wish to happen.

Its all about grabbing power at all costs. Nothing more.

We have for long seen the APC what it truly is- an anti-GEJ alliance; but it shall fail.

The APC believes it's only when it's in Aso Rock that it can proffer solution to any of our woes, especially Boko Haram. To them everything is politics. They are not willing to support the current administration in any way whatsoever! That's the APC for you.

There's no way I can join in the broom waving group! No way.

OP, expect some sulphur from the broom wavers this morning. ...

Following from the sidelines. 1-0

pacesetter939:
We've got 4 of the 6 weeks left. So, GEJ had better not. Otherwise, REVOLUTION against PDP and bad government looms!

I usually laugh whenever timid Nigerians use the word REVOLUTION! They have no idea.

Akbee:
what change did they bring while they were in pdp?is it that they have suddenly turned a new leaf cos their political careers were hitting the rocks in pdp?
#mrShark it is quiet clear that the APC is merely an association of frustrated people whoes aim is to revive their respective political careers.

Ur last sentence said it all.

We know how opposition politics is played in other nations. The politics APC plays is nothing short of conspiracy.

I will take some time to confirm the other conspiracies outlined by the article. But i do have the one by the Northern Elders Forum.

See pix.

Kill them all.

Take no prisoners.

This is worthy of condemnation.

I pray he's released unharmed. This isn't good for our politics at all.

Cynicism is the midway between criticism and extremism.
