I have been around for a while, and noticed that nl users dont have a united front in respect to making demands to our ogas @ d top......like I have noticed that you dont know if u hve been quoted or not, no deactivate button and many other stuffs.

Politics / Politics 101 by Djkels(m): 8:11pm On Aug 29, 2013 |
Welcome to the Plenty Talk No Action School of Political Science. Take your seat please, as I begin my lecture, endeavour to turn off all mobile phones. How to be a politician? It’s not so difficult, all you have to do is follow a set of unofficial rules. These rules are not codified in any legal document, but that does not, by any means, mean they do not exist. Being the Good Samaritan/ political science teacher that I am, I will carry out a civic obligation and lay them bare for all aspiring politicians. I present ‘How to be a Politician 101’. 1. TALK THE TALK Learn the prevalent parlance. Make yourself a pro at making empty promises. These days, that is not as hard as it should be. You don’t even have to be believed, we’d still think you’re lying anyway. Honesty is not a prerequisite for the job, so do well to do away with it. Learn how to tell white-faced lies while placing your hands on a holy book. Asides this, you will also need to master a couple of phrases that are appropriate for different situations. When something a bomb explodes: We shall do our best to bring the perpetrators to book. When you’re launching an obviously overpriced project: Today is a great day in the history of this nation/state When you’re flogged in the media for obvious ineptitude: This is the work of my detractors. While campaigning, your key words should be change, transformation and restoration. If you’re inexperienced, don’t break a sweat, it’s easy to learn, just watch the primetime news or read the national dailies for indirect coaching from the professors in the industry. It is of cardinal importance that your dictionary does not have the words- sincerity, efficiency or transparency. Replace those with stakeholders, contractor, off shore accounts and detractors. 2. SPEND THE MONEY Before you go ahead and spend all the money you can lay your hands on, on things we will never lay our hands on, you must first follow the custom of probing the outgoing government. Next step, go ahead and award outlandish contracts to build invisible airports, imaginary roads and imperceptible factories. It is imperative that the contracts are awarded to companies that do not exist in our directories or in real life. Please do not disregard this critical point, a deviation from which will earmark you as an enemy of progress amongst other politicians. Proceed to appoint people into posts based on your years of friendship, alliances and their funding of your campaign. Pay absolutely no attention to their qualifications, the media will make noise about it, don’t mind them. They always do that. The less qualified your appointees are, the better your excuse after they inevitably fail to perform, but nonetheless, when you win a second term, appoint the same people. The media? Forget them, I’ve told you that’s all they know how to do! 3. MAKE ENEMIES This part is very easy. Make enemies, why? Because you need somebody to blame when things go awry, why else? Who did you think that word ‘detractor’ in your special English- Politics Translations Dictionary referred to? Enemies are a vital cog of your government; underestimate their essence at your own peril. If a project goes bad, your enemies are at work. When newspapers publish concrete evidence of your financial dubiety, it’s the work of your enemies. When you contest and win ‘free and fair’ elections and word goes around that you got under-aged voters involved in the electoral process, it’s those restless enemies of yours again. What about the devil? Let the devil be, too many people blame him already. 4. GET A FIRST LADY This step is of two parts. A. Get yourself a First Lady. B. Make her come up with a pet project. Don’t ask me why, ask why not. After all, all your predecessors did same; it’s just what First Ladies do. There are some attendant principles to this however. It has to be related to something humanitarian so we think she’s serious. Child abuse, Child Trafficking, Women Trafficking are all areas of concentration but take note, the fields of House-girl Abuse and Gateman Abuse remain yet uncharted courses, if you strive for philanthropic novelty, I recommend those. Next, she must organize a fund-raising event via an elaborate media campaign. Invite your friends, not those useless old secondary school mates, we’re talking big men here. Make them donate handsomely while expecting a contract in reciprocity and when it’s all said and done, erase every single evidence and trace of the foundation/ charity or whatever name you append to it and make sure we never hear of it again. Done? Perfect. 5. KNOW YOUR ALPHABETS Actually, you don’t need to know all of them, some are more important than others. A stands for ALLOCATION, be familiar with that, it’s essential. B stands for BOKO HARAM, if you know what’s good for you, stay away from beer parlours. C is for CONTRACT. Of course! What else could it be for? D is for Deziani Allison- Madueke, don’t mess with her, many have tried, none has succeeded. E doesn’t stand for Efficiency, that word does not exist. Fast forward to P, which stands for Profit Sharing, some silly holier-than-thou idiots will say it stands for Pension, what’s your business with that? And finally Z stands for Zoning, there’s a system in place ok? Unless you’re a shoeless boy from Bayelsa, you have to abide by it. Well, that’s the end of our lecture, wear your Fila, roll up your Agbada, go out there and make your party proud! Remember to appoint me as a Special Adviser of something-something affairs, so I can sit in a palatial office, do nothing and still somehow make enough money to make our enemies jealous. |

6. Farouk Aliyu – A senior member of the CPC and a losing gubernatorial candidate from the 2011 election decided to engage Kuku in a game of idiot stake by issuing the following statement; “Let me also use this opportunity to say on behalf of us in the north that nobody has monopoly of violence and that on behalf of the people of northern extraction, there shall be no one Nigeria if a northerner is not elected president of this country, because politics is a game of numbers and the Ijaw people are not up to one million or two million or even five million. “So if in a democracy, the President will allow somebody to say if he is not voted, there won’t be peace – this clearly shows that they don’t want peace and the president is not a democrat.” 7. Junaid Mohammed – A retired doctor and an elder Northern politician, threw down his own gauntlet in the bid to be the most fearsome chest-thumper in the cause for his own region and ethnic group, and saw the following in response to Kuku’s statement: “As it stands today, anybody who imagines that he will build Nigeria in spite of the wishes of the North is dreaming. We are not lousy, we are decent and quiet people, we only talk when we have to. We said, look, this is getting embarrassing and does it mean that without the South we cannot survive? That without the so- called oil or without Lagos we cannot survive. And does it mean everything produced in Lagos is consumed by Lagosians? Go and check your facts. “On the whole, we will be better off if push comes to shove, we will go our way because if Nigeria breaks up, God forbid, Northern Nigeria is the only zone that can remain one, the South mainly the Yorubas will go their way, the Igbos will go their way.” 8. Asari Dokubo – The rotund ex-warlord is known for his inane utterances. He is, unfortunately, not short of people willing to shove a microphone in his general direction. Below is an excerpt of the bile the creek general has been spewing recently; “We will match violence by violence. We will match intrigues by intrigues. We will match bullet by bullet. We will match blood by blood. We are ready for them. Goodluck Jonathan will complete his tenure of two terms whether they (northerners) like it or not. To us, they don’t even exist because we pay them. He who pays the piper dictates the tune” 9. Olisa Metuh - National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently had quite a bit to say to Governor Adams Oshiomole of Edo after the latter in a chat with journalists called the PDP a party of rogues and corrupt people. Of all he said, this hit below the belt the most: “Is Adams just realising how bad our party is and was all the while he was begging for membership?” 10. Doyin Okupe (again) - This time he was talking down the merger of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) to fuse into the All Progressives Congress (APC). He described it as an “incongruous alliance of political weaklings, dysfunctional Lilliputians and repeatedly frustrated political power mongers.” To be honest we just put that in for the big words. |
Politics / From Okupe To Kayode Top 10 Nigerian Big Mouth Politicians by Djkels(m): 6:05pm On Aug 12, 2013 |
The elections of 2015 have been prophesied to be the most interesting Nigeria has seen, and for a number of reasons. Most intriguing are the comments some of the political players have been making. From the insensitive, to the brash, to the downright stupid, we present the 10 biggest mouths in Nigerian politics. 1. Doyin Okupe – The Presidential spokesman is not known for shying away from a media fight, Okupe (unsuccessfully) tried to paint the criticism of GEJ the pardon given to ex-governor Alamasiegha as ethnic bigotry by saying the following; “How come granting pardon to him has become an aberration? Is it because he is from Bayelsa? Is it from he is from South-South? Is it because he is connected to Mr. President?” 2. Femi Fani-Kayode – The controversial ex- minister has had a lot of time on his hands since being out of power and has taken to Twitter to express his opinion on the topical matters in Nigeria. Watching the Presidential Spokesperson, Rueben Abati, defend the president’s controversial pardon of convicted thief, Alamiyesiegha, he had this to say; “I listened to @abati1990 on Channels today talking about the state pardons and I must confess that I have never heard such rubbish, I am beginning to suspect that @abati1990 is the biological product of a same-sex marriage. He looks and sounds like the missing link.” 3. Pastor Tunde Bakare – The outspoken liberal Pastor, who is a well-known critic of the current political state of affairs has managed to ostracize himself from the official opposition when he was asked his thoughts on the (yet to be registered opposition party) APC, the erstwhile CPC Vice-Presidential candidate and he said, “If the devil becomes a Pastor, Nigerians will attend his church because they don’t know the true church and they cannot distinguish it from the synagogue of Satan”. 4. General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) – This is one politician that needs to be most careful with his public utterances, considering the leadership position he enjoys in the opposition party. GMB, as he is widely known offered these ill-advised comments on May 14 2012, in reference to the 2015 elections; “If what happened in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.” 5. Kingsley Kuku, who is a Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on South-South and Niger Delta issues, recently made a moronic statement about Nigeria’s prospect for peace, failing a successful GEJ re-election (suffice it to say that the president himself has not admitted to being interested in another term in office); “Permit me to add that the peace that currently prevails in the zone is largely because Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who is from that same place, is the President of Nigeria. That is the truth.” “It is only a Jonathan presidency that can guarantee continued peace and energy security in the Niger Delta, The attention and interest of the US in Nigeria must remain the stability of the Niger Delta and the easiest way to ensure this is to encourage President Jonathan to complete an eight-year term. The agitators are prepared to patiently await development as long as one of their own, Dr. Jonathan remains the President, and I think this is one thing the American government should reflect seriously |
