Can someone kindly tell me the positives, if any , of this speech?

werepeLeri:
How can you prove that statement? You must take the less than 100 people on Nairaland who write these stories to mean 160million people. Do you see your foolery?

Jarus:
We are not asking you to be a lion, General, Goliath, Pharaoh or king, what we want from you is a to be firm and assertive and wear a presidential mien.

When you were contesting, you told us you can do everything, Mr President.

[size=13pt]Boko Haram declares SSS director wanted[/size]


Following his release to the DIA, the suspect was said to have opened up on the activities of Boko Haram and allegedly claimed to have intimated the police authorities. Reports further said that topshots of security agencies were notified by the DIA on its encounter with Tishau, before he was returned to police custody.
But the bubble burst when the DIA reportedly asked for the suspect to be released to it a second time for further investigation, a request that was allegedly turned down by the Police whose spokesman, Amore, denied that Tishau was ever returned to their custody, talk less of the authorities receiving a second request for his release to the DIA

Sources told Daily Sun yesterday that the flurry of claims and denials amongst the security agencies, which had been further compounded by reports of the DIA’s eventual admission of taking custody of the suspect at a point in time from the police, has become a source of concern and embarrassment to the Presidency, which has resolved to diligently investigate the incident with a view to taking appropriate actions.

Who voted him in?  Are Obama and those other world leaders Nigerians?

OAM4J:
These are hard facts?

U[b]nfortunately, this is beyond GEJ or any other politician for that matter[/b], yet things cannot continue like this.

According to our finance minister, in 4 years time she would only manage to reduce the cost of running government by 4%.

If something drastic doesn't happen soon, then I will say we are doomed as a Nation.

Why is your sh*@t sooo weak!
World leaders are meeting, charting the course of the world and you would have preferred your president to on sick bed in Aso rock. Na wa for u ooh.
BK is a terrorist group with international collabration from other international terrorists groups ( I dont want to assume u know this), Mr. president is out there seeking close collaboration with the UN Counter Terrorism Implementation Task Force, CTITF, the Counter Terrorism Executive Directorate, CTED, as well as relevant international bodies and friendly countries to sharpen our response mechanisms and you are here displaying your stake stupidity.
What organ do u use in reasoning man!

@oxford,perhaps, his mouth. lol

@Demdem
Did you remeber the name James Ibori? Its one after the other. I will be the most happiest person on earth if all of them go the same root. They have caused more pain to every Nigeria in recent years more than anything i can think of.

Please dont bring the case of James Ibori here at all. Its a shame to the judiciary. A Nigerian court has already declared him innocent of all charges and it seems to be threatening even the case in UK. Thank God for the UK judiciary. By Gods grace justice will be done. GEJ/FG has nothing to celebrate about that. Just to arrest him was even a problem. the govt failed miserably in that regard.

Are u in all honesty think that BAT is clean even if he bribed his way out of this case. If we can't bring all these men to justice how do you think Nigeria will move forward. Sometimes i laugh when people shout of revolution revolution, who will lead the revolution and toward which direction. Most of us are talking of political pesecution cos BAT is from our side of the divide but will shout crucify him crucify him when the person at the receivin end is from North or East. The same thing happens when with people from East and North as well.

read my posts again. If Tinubu is found guilty, then he SHOULD FACE THE MUSIC. however, based on recent developments and available facts i think this is a mere distraction. Even if Tinubu has bees destined to go to jail becos of his alleged dubious past, there is nothing i can do about that but this case as it is right now doesnt look like the case that will send him to that jail

If Tinubu did that to BG don't you think its pay back time for Tinubu from PDP.

The law did that to BG. He was found guilty and thrown to jail. He appealed but yet failed.
If Tinubu also is found wanting within the law, he too also should face the music alongside his fellow governors that were in power with him:

Tinubu’s present travail is traced allegations made by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) on October 17, 2007. The bureau had listed him among 15 former governors that breached its code on asset declaration.
The other former governors are Dr. Sam Egwu (Ebonyi State), Chief Achike Udenwa (Imo), Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu), Ahmed Makarfi (Kaduna) Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto), Adamu Aliero (Kebbi), Gbenga Daniel (Ogun), Olagunsoye Oyinlola (Osun), Boni Haruna (Adamawa), Ayo Fayose (Ekiti), Lucky Igbinedion (Edo), and James Ibori (Delta).


This will make PDP more resolved to see him go down.

PDP resolved   then this suggests to me that its politically motivated then. Hovever dont rejoice yet, the earlier 10 counts have been reduced to 3. i dont think tinubu will go down with this case. probably another future case but not this.

mustspin:
@1. dats nt true, infact some people are actually over paying. i think its there duty to provide it 1st and put the measure in place to ensure peple pay for the service. afterall are they not alway defaulters disconnected? thats not an excuse
@2. For u to say this, u must have been walking around with your eyes closed. u need to open those eyes and see how much suffering is in the land which is solely due to Government negligence. the money is not being judiciously utilised so people can as well enjoy the fresh air of the subsidy
@3. i dont think anybody still hold that opinion after the visible success privatization has brought to the telecom and aviation sector.

please lets stop giving the Government lazy excuses cuz am sure if u were a managing director, u wont be giving your board an excuse of workers insolence, then there is no point putting you in charge then.[size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt] it only shows incompetence[/size][/size][/size][/size]

akings100:
[b]PDP is not a fool for jailing Bode George, [/b]Tinubu, if found guilty should also be jailed. He has milked Lagos dry with vast investment in TV, Airlines, Hospitality, Printing Press and all is family members appointment holders.

Charges against Tinubu Dropped, Trial Adjourned To October 26
By NewsAdmin on September 21, 2011

When the session commenced, the Prosecution filed an application to amend the initial 10 count charge to 3 counts.  The defence team did not object to the amendment of the charges but made an observation that it had already filed a motion to challenge the jurisdiction of the matter. It was later admitted that the motion stands, despite the amendment.

Rumour or not, let's run for our lives first!

COMPAQ:
No doubt the masses will cheer this news, but this is just probably one of those populist announcements that governors like to make. While reducing fees is not a bad thing, but where will the money to run the university come from?? Contrary to popular belief in Nigeria, university tuition is not free in the UK or US. UK university tuition for British citizens is anywhere between £3000-£5000 per session. Yet we make noise here over increases from N25,000 to N50,000. No doubt, scenarios are different, but we need to put our money where our mouth is. If we want a very good education, we have to understand that it won't come cheap. We Nigerians talk with both sides of our mouth:

We want 24hr electricity, but we don't want to pay for it.
We want a deregulated downstream petroleum sector, but we want the prices to remain at N65.
We want jobs to be created in this country, but we want govt to hold on to every sector because they are strategic to "national security"
We want corruption to reduce,but many of us who work in corrupt ministries, agencies and parastatals have never thought to copy these documents that clearly show illegal transfer and send them to efcc anonymously.
We all want to go to heaven, but no one wants to die.
We cry out about flooding and filth, yet we citizens throw gala wrapper and rubbish unto the roads without thought.

We are really a largely illiterate and hypocritical society.
