I feel you, but a real government knows that its loyalist are the people, this isn't the era of election rigging.

Men, a lot of mechanics dey politics too much.

janus05:
The ijaws cannot live without money. This is why they won't be part of anything called opposition in Nigeria.

You are dead right. Nothing else motivates them.

joseph1832:
Men all this political prostitution makes me doubt whether the APC is ready for business. They should have told them to remain where they are.

Nooooo! A smart politician can never give up such opportunity. Haven't you heard there's strength in number? Aside that, in the murky waters of politics, you keep your loyalists close to your chest and give hope to decampees thereby weakening the opposition.

Who knows, it's possible mods were replaced momentarily by clones.

PDP with federal might, Osho floored them. And now, APC with federa might,. Osho will retire .

barcanista:
David Mark it is time to take a bow! If you had performed, PDP wouldn't have lost Benue state.

I agree with you by half. It is not because PDP lost. PDP should have been cremated long time ago. Mark should have been banned from democratic politics for saying telephone is not meant for the poor while he was a minister during Abacha 's inglorious reign.

Source is sourcepicious.

Some new Nairalanders do not understand your post dude! They thought you meant it, not knowing you are just mocking the Wailers

Don't panic. The new ones need to undergo the necessary initiation while the old ones are still here to point them in the right direction away from the 'do no good' Wailers.

I started typing my first post by 4.57pm posted at 4.58pm but at the time my post showed thread has gone viral. Forumites, I hail all for supporting PMB. Be rest assured he will deliver as promised. Just be patient. Continue your effervescent support as God's blessings will not pass u by. To whom God has chosen no benefit in opposing. Cheerio!

Now I firmly know we are not drifting in this murky water of corruption. There is a Captain definitely in charge of the ship.

PassingShot:
How old are you? A sincere answer please.

Pa Chukwudi's age? Ha! It is indeterminate. We only know he is Aging Without Growing Up(AWGU).

Whynotthetruth:
Just quit troubling my mentions with loads of nothing...

Am at your service, monsieur.

It is difficult to be a slave in your own house, environment, or region. If such happens, there must be internal collaborators. Such elements must first be dealt with before emancipating yourself from your assumed slavery.

With all happiness.
During GEJ, filling staions were selling at govt approved prices of #97 and later #87. Fuel was available everywhere. Throughout his 5yrs, we had only about three scarcities

The two months this Daura man has been in Aso Rock it's been between #100 - #150 depending on where you live. On a normal day, 80% of filling stations do not have products to sell.

It is your call to make and, of course, it shows in your discourse trying to hold on to a broken egg oozing putrid fluid.
Both of us don't know more than the man with the reigns of power - PMB.
So far, he is on course to stop the rot. It is only 2months+ of his presidency. Until he does something unbecoming of what is expected I remain with him. And I pray he succeeds for my kids's sake.
You rap about local content in a way that shows you know little about it. Local content has been with us for ages. That was the reason many millionaires sprung up in my locale preceding GEJ regime. The entities are called oil services companies. GEJ contribution was to expand the scope.
On your preference to go back to that era, opportunities abound. The best starting point is Otueke.

baralatie:
that is the answer that matters.
the next question is
1,do you continue paying subsidy or not

2.do you develop your indigenous facilities to be an exporter of refined products or not

3.do you put all your hopes on nnpc or you include the private sector to drive your oil and gas.

Hmmmm
Some logic of an evasive forumite playing a judge and jury role.
What matters to you is the spending of N1.5trillion on subsidy well beyond a projected budgetary estimate of about N500b?
What's your goal in this world?
Remember my question is still pending.

baralatie:
did you lack petrol during that era

I didn't lack in the main but then I don't wish to re-live that era because it has been shown that we spent the fortune of several generations to maintain that apparent stability.

Now, do you want to return to that era?

chukwudi44:
You didn't answer his question

Since the advent of PMB regime I have not failed to buy fuel when I want at 0 to 17naira differential per litre. If it stays that way I have no issue with it.

What gives me joy is not the stability per see but the virtual elimination of humongous claims of subsidy even on locally refined products labelled as imported under GEJ.

So my question now to you: will you want to return to that era?

In Nigeria, a 17year old is still a dependant for his/her livelihood and mentally and morally vulnerable.

baralatie:
so during Gej administration from 2010 -2014 how often did you experience scarcity.

Do you wish to go back to that era?

Whynotthetruth:
I believe you also know that you aren't the only person living close to a refinery or having access to their workers...

That I know. What I also know is that your attempts at rebranding GEJ even to his own distaste baffles me. This is a man who admitted to his weaknesses and shortcomings and knows those that traded with his name in the Temple of Corruption. Nigerians have chosen to trudge on and let the past be. This 'Achimedes' flailing in the bathing tub to tell Nigerian what was and wasn't is not making sense.

Whynotthetruth:
If only you looked without prejudice you would have noticed that no mending is going on here...rather we are guiding the relics of our moulds for posterity...

BTW we have no new pot in the kitchen...we rather have a leaking calabash tossed away by the gods but brought back by the roving village lunatic as part of his "property" ...Check out the population of borno state vis a vis the number of votes secured by your lord...then match it against your "populace" talk thankz

Sometimes you can never get facts from 'white collar' journalism. I live in Warri with the refinery just around the corner. Getting to know why things didn't work for a long time is not an abomination and the staff are not gagged from telling their side of the story.

I read every post on this thread to see if there is something new to learn, alas, none. Rather, all I could see are convoluted somersaults of apologists of a ruinous government already beheaded by the populace.
@whynotthetruth, it's your right to mend, a broken pot which the owner has discarded but remember a new pot is in the kitchen.

Where is the N21b raised for presidential campaign?


1. It was a rain of Naira Saturday in Abuja as Peoples
Democratic Party realised more than N21 billion at its fund-
raising dinner towards next year’s general election from
donors spanning business, elected government officials,
and private individuals. Although the president, Dangote
Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who was billed to be the chief
launcher, was absent at the dinner held at the Banquet Hall
of the Presidential Villa, the event received huge financial
commitment from those present.

2. Count us out of Jonathan's Campaign Funds –PDP

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Working
Committee (NWC) has distanced itself from the
controversy surrounding the handling of the PDP
presidential campaign funds.
A national daily, at the weekend had reported that
President Goodluck Jonathan had set up a committee
to audit how the party’s national secretariat and state
chapters spent the campaign funds.
It claimed that about N2 trillion was disbursed to the
two party organs.
Presidential spokesperson, Dr. Reuben Abati, had
since dismissed the report as unfounded.
But fielding questions yesterday on a radio
programme in Abuja, National Publicity Secretary of
the party, Olisa Metuh, said the Adamu Mu’azu-led
national working committee did not receive any
amount from any quarter for the campaigns.
Metuh noted that Directorates of the Presidential
Campaign Organizations managed all funds during the
campaigns, which he further noted was insulated from
the party national secretariat.
Metuh said: “As a party, we have refrained from
joining issues publicly on this matter, but in the light
of series of enquiries, arising from allegations that the
NWC embezzled the money meant for the campaigns,
we need to make some clarifications.
“As the spokesperson of the PDP, I want to place it on
record that the National Working Committee was not
part of the management of funds for the presidential
campaigns.
“The NWC did not receive any money neither was it in
any way involved in how the funds were spent. Even
as the National Publicity Secretary of the party and
Chairman of the Publicity Sub-Committee, I did not
receive any money from any body and no fund
whatsoever was given to me for the campaign.”
He further expressed concern over what he called the
orchestrated plot to discredit the national leadership of
the party.
“Apparently out of ignorance, this NWC has been
unjustly demonized and labelled. How can anybody
expect the NWC to account for funds it never
received? Can we account for funds we did not
manage?
“The president in his wisdom set up directorates and
gave them the responsibility to directly manage the
elections, including the funding.”

To all you supporting this Balkanization of our dear country, may your life take same path Nigeria has taken since 1999... [/quote


... for which PMB has gallantly put a stop to since 29/05/2015.

The only beautiful thing about breast is the skin covering it. Every other thing underneath is an eyesore.

Shut up bloody hypocrite!!! I did not hear you condemn the Daura illiterate WAEC certificate scammer.

Hmmmmm.. Party politics in Delta state is normally by the thugs for the thugs. This is why there's general stagnation in the policy.
