Ibime: This is brilliant work by GEJ Government.

As someone who criticised him for not going after the subsidy fraudsters before seeking to remove the subsidy, I must retract my criticism and say kudos and well done to GEJ and National Assembly for delivering this list to the people. I hope the full weight of the law would be brought to bear regarding the recovery of these monies, and I would hope that this matter is not swept under the carpet but brought to public attention. In reality, these guys should all be jailed, but for now we would accept this softly-softly approach on the understanding that any PDP President is too weak to provide strong disincentive for looting.

kurus: I can't believe I have broken my words never to post on this silly forum again.

I am amazed at the silly comments being passed by some folks here about GEJ.

Let me start by saying I am not from the SS, neither do I work for Naija govt in any capacity.

For a country that is 52 years old and have had corruption openly practised every single day of its existence, i find it naive that some folks here actually expect GEJ to change the country overnight, even if he wanted to. There's a psychological warfare being waged around GEJ, to try and prevent his running come 2015.

Let me ask some pertinent questions:

- When OBJ spent 8 years and didn't deal with Boko Haram, but left them alone to do their own thing, including introducing Sharia over parts of the north, how many of the folks running their mouths here abused OBJ then, or even now blame him for not nipping the problem in the bud?

- When Yar adua left this country for almost a year, and the vice president was like a house boy in Aso rock, how many of the people here realised the absurdity of the country's politics that allowed such a lacuna to happen in the Presidency?

- When Buhari, Atiku, IBB, Gusau et al came openly to declare that they will set the country on fire, how many of the people here took them not seriously? and before you open your mouth to start saying 'why can't GEJ arrest them, let me ask if any of you work in an office environment, and how the politics in that office is played? Do you not know most times the people responsible for the horrible things happening in the company? and do those evil people EVER do those things themselves or do they use others to do their dirty work?

- VP Sambo has being fingered in the Boko Haram mess and a lot of highly placed people, but until you catch them making a call or with a bomb or some other incriminating evidence, you cant't prosecute them.

- How many governors did EFCC collate data on for prosecution over corruption and how many cases did the police, judiciary and even the Justice minister frustrate? Yeah, yeah, don't start screaming, if you can't do the job, get out of the kitchen.

and please, don't breathe that word Buhari. His bigotry is legendary: case in point: when Buhari was in power in 1984-85, tell me how many northern politicians he arrested and jailed? Mention 3 and there jail terms. A man who put the northern president under house arrest(in the president's own house) and who jailed the vice president? Can you believe how bigoted he is?

I digress but back to my point: This nation is so bleeped up that if the Nigerian president can only trust 2 people and he gives an order asking for elimination of BH bombers who have gone to carry out a bombing, you can be sure that at least one of the 2 people will go and ask for bribe from the BH boys.

If the naija police can kill fellow citizens over 20 naira, what do you think they will do over 1mil? So whats the solution:

Stop all the GEJ bashing: it aint achieving anything. Even the international recognition came because some of the things GEJ is doing is either not known to us, or we dont care to know about them. Yes, he drinks, yes, he gets drunks, but was OBJ not a useless womaniser who slept with his son's wife? Did Yar Adua not spend more time in hospital treating ailments than the time he spent ruling Naija? Did we insult the other presidents the way some folks r insulting GEJ?

Whether you like it or not, GEJ will rule till 2019. If you don't like it, too bad. GEJ ascension to power was divine. Like it or not, there is a reason for that. Personally, i know the nation can do better but when it comes to the game of power and politics, the best person for the job, might not even be in contention for the position.

I have read enough posts in the last few months and am surprised that some folks think if they keep up the bashing, he won't contest in 2015. Its aint working. and the BH boys r only making things work against the interest of the so called elites from the north who think its their right to rule. Come 2027, a middle belter will take over from an Igbo man(I aint Igbo either, aint delta, not SS or SE,so don't think I am canvassing for my tribe).

If we all work together with the president, maybe the work of eliminating BH can move faster. After all, the Great America has being fighting AL Qaeda since the 1980s and yet, they have defeated Al qaeda, so how can folks here be acting simple minded by thinking its a walk in the park to defeat terrorists, who have the active support of elites in the society they operate in. Maybe we should ask why BH only operates in the certain parts of the north. Why aint BH in the SW or SS or SE or even middle belt? Why is it only the Hausa-Fulani/Kanuri dominated part of the north that they operate fully in(the Kanuris are fully on the side of their traditional enemies [the hausa-fulani] in this guerilla warfare).

Let me pause and hope that folks will have a rethink. I doubt this but evil reigns when good people standby and watch evil people do evil things. I've had enough of all the silly talks about GEJ. Lets bring out credible opponents to GEJ and see if the people wont vote for such a person. Until we do that, NL warfare aint gonna change anything.

salakobaba: In the whole of State of Osun we will have 170 govt schools, 100 elementary school, 50 middle school and 20 high school. http://www.osunstate.gov.ng/index.php/agenda/promote-functional-education.html

ahmedinho1: It's funny and ironic that the people asking for thois break-up are the ones that should not event think of it. They have ruled this country more than any other region. They should blame all the former rulers from their region. Power greediness!

putro: Do you expect him to homeless?

What a question

1stCitizen: DEMDEM CALM DOWN!

The Northerners are playing smart. Any breakup of Nigeria would lead to a fair share of offshore resources as Northern Agricultural resources were used to develop the Oil industry.

I kid you not, there are more Oil reserves in the North than south. After the sharing agreements have been reached, they will start seismic studies & start discovering oil left right centre.

If Niger Republic can have large reserves, there is no reason why oil should not exist from LIBYA, to NIGER to Northern Nigeria

scopusng: How do we fight this now? Power belong to the thief thief PDP and the retardeen not to the Nigerian people any more.

koruji: For example, if I have not succeeded in Islamising my nuclear family, how will it be possible for me to Islamise a state.

Lindseyrd: This is definitely not a genuine call.it is just a feeble excuse to think they are not the obstacle to the call of SNC.

What will make it a genuine call? What actions exactly are u expecting from them that will make it such? Other regions also called for the same thing in a similar war and yet we believe them. why should the Aboki's case be different?
how are u sure ur hatred for the Abokis makes u believe that nothing positive can ever come from them

We are all aware that the National Assembly will not buy any of this.

when u talk of the NASS, we talk PDP being the majority party inside the NASS that will definately do what they want as long as its in their interest and not Nigerians per se. It boils down to PDP and of cos the Retardeen being the Leader of the Party.


If they are genuinely sure they should impress it on the NA to set up the right mechanism for this to happen by putting pressure on the representatives from NORTHERN REGION.

The same way other regions cant put pressure on their representatives is the same way the Abokis will find it difficult. Do u ursef av any influence whatsoever over ur so called elected members?

I emphasized the northern region because I believe if the caucus from the north it would definitely be supported by others.But the truth of this is that it will never happen.

The truth is we all are assuming that the problem is the Northern caucus in NASS but i beg to disagree. The problem is them all. They will come to their constituents declaring one thing but on getting to Abuja they will do whatever pleases them as long as it is in their interest. Why will a newly elected senator from the SS ordinarily vote for him relinquishing is senatorial post for the unity and betterment of Nigeria?

Until we all as NIgerians rise up and declare to these asssholes that this exactly is what we want, it will forever be a pipe dream. We all are our problems.

EFULEFU1: haha my face is always beaming with smiles anytime i recall back in the days in the jss when i was secretly admiring my young red-lipped maths teacher.i was in love though he never noticed it.so has anyone also felt like this whilst in school before? good day.

babaowo: moderators! How can someone view those posts that has been hidden?

dayokanu: If retardeen doesnt convene SNC now, I hope the SS would shut up for life about anything called SNC.

if their man cant do it then that means they dont need it

gboss4sure: These northerners no dey shame at all, they should be covering their hands with shame.
