talktimi: you dey see una agberoistic and toutalistic behavior ?

no ooo, wer E dey?

Kudos to my man Aregbesola,

Haters Please

I won't blame him, it's because he's a Novice.
How can a so called president say such a thing in an international Network.
It's high time he compared Nigeria with developed countries like the US or Britain, if it's right to do that.
If it comes to terrorism, Nigeria is one, is it because he watches Syria on CNN and BBC that's why he's saying that?
The Killing in Yobe state is a very bitter one, yet, he's there comparing us with another Country.

I'm laughing at them, Aso Rock must welcome a new Land Lord come 2015

A former Minister of Transportation, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, has backed Jonathan’s 2015 bid, asking the North to wait until 2019 for their turn.

Also, a former governor of the old Anambra State, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has said President Jonathan is a tool in the hands of God to implement God’s designs for Nigeria.

He said Jonathan’s tolerance, cool-headedness, fear of God and respect for people and their constitution had neutralised Boko Haram violence in Nigeria.

The duo spoke during the state’s 17th anniversary public lecture organised by the Bayelsa State Government in Yenagoa on Monday.

Other dignitaries at the lecture which took place at the state’s Banquet Hall on Monday evening were a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Ghali Na’Abba; Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State; his deputy, Rear- Admiral John Jonah (retd.); elder statesman, Chief Diete Spiff; Speaker, Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Konbowei Friday; and the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Kate Abiri.

Babatope in his lecture, had described Jonathan as a detribalised Nigerian, whose right to contest the 2015 presidential election was non-negotiable.

“If Jonathan declares to contest the 2015 election, I will be among the people that will campaign for him. I submit it is right and proper that the Ijaw man, President Goodluck Jonathan, completes his term in 2019. After that, if I am still alive, I will be one of those that will fight to ensure the North have its turn in 2019,” Babatope said.

Ezeife said through Jonathan’s style of leadership, which could not be compared with any President before him, had been able to contain the Boko Haram’s insurgency.

The former governor said, “Jonathan is a tool in the hands of God to implement God’s design for Nigeria. His tolerance, cool-headedness, fear of God and respect for people and their constitution has neutralised the Boko Haram sect. We must sympathise with the aggrieved people, even as we must not allow injustice to take root. And we must not be provoked as to endanger, Nigeria, which our God Almighty has given us. Everybody knows who would lose most, should the unthinkable happen.

“Which President had faced determined efforts to making the country ungovernable, under him? If we help put a bag of salt on somebody’s head and make rains to beat the person, do we have a right, at the end of the rain, to ask how much salt is left in the bag?”

Ezeife also said for Nigeria to survive as one united country, there was the urgent need to restructure the country for efficiency and effectiveness.

Dickson, in his remarks, said a new Nigeria was born with the election of Jonathan, a man from the minority tribe, as the President of the country.

He sued for peace in the country, stressing that Nigeria was not only a country of contradictions, but had endless potential, which if well harnessed, would drive the nation’s socio-economic and political development.

“May I call on the present generation to learn to see national issues as they are. Because it is when you have a nation, you can have a G7 governors. Disagreement is healthy – whether we agree or not, it is legitimate. All politicians are ambitious and ambition is legitimate but the way you go about it matters,” Dickson said.

Na’Abba, speaking on the theme, ‘Good governance as a panacea for promoting a stable and sustainable democracy,’ said good governance should be the hallmark of democracy.

He said in view of the myriad of problems confronting the nation, there was the need to guarantee good governance and deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.

what happened to 9JA?

The breakaway faction of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party said on Tuesday that Nigerians were being extorted by the Federal Government through its numerous agencies.

The faction, otherwise referred to as the ‘New PDP,’ also said that the country had become a crumbling edifice as a result of corruption and bad leadership.

National Chairman of the faction, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, stated this in his message to Nigeria to mark the country’s 53rd Independence anniversary.

In the message, which was signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the faction, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, Baraje listed other problems confronting the country to include ethnicism, among others.

He said that, given the mindset of the present government, there was no hope that things would change.

He said, “I salute my fellow country men and women on this special, epochal and historical event of the 53rd Anniversary of our independence and knowing that many of our leaders may prefer to say otherwise but let me state categorically without equivocation that I am very sad that it is a pity that 53 years after independence Nigeria is still a crumbling edifice, wrecked to the seams by corruption, bad leadership, ethnicism, parochialism, sectarian intolerance and childish political recrimination.

“Nigeria at 53 has turned into a borderless valley of tears where life expectancy hovers at between 40 and 43 years.

“Nigerians are callously extorted through various government agencies like the Power Holding Company of Nigeria which today excels in generating darkness and subjecting Nigerians to the highest ever tariff regime. “

He added that the Federal Road Safety Commission, which he said was set up as a well-meaning agency to tame the rising cases of road accidents, had become a tool for mindless extortion through the issuing and re-issuing of vehicle number plates and drivers’ licenses at very exorbitant prices.

He also said that the petroleum sector had equally become an illicit cash cow for the people in government, their friends and relatives who he said exploited the hapless citizens through sundry means.

He said, “What could best demonstrate the wanton brigandage going on in Nigeria than the fact that the government, which set up the SURE-P programme with the huge N32 increment on each litre of fuel Nigerians purchase, has recorded no known achievement with the huge accruals from the increment?

“Today, SURE-P has sacked the 110,000 youths it placed on N10,000 monthly allowances on the excuse that there is no money to pay them.

“We ask, where is the government keeping the huge amount it realises from the inhuman increment in the price of petrol, kerosene and diesel?”

The New PDP, therefore, appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to abandon his second term ambition and concentrate on how to “rescue the sinking Nigerian ship of state if he truly loves Nigeria.”

In its reaction, the main PDP described the faction as unserious, saying it was making caricature of serious issues.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone, said it was better to ignore the faction.

He said, “We don’t want to reply them. They are making caricature of serious national issues.

“They are entertainers at drinking joints and beer parlours. They should be better ignored. Their statements defy all known political norms and at best provide entertainment for social gatherings.”
