Lolz, am actually entertained with your epistle like whines . . . . When am ready to fool around with some retaard, be rest assured you will be top on the list . . . .

jmaine:


To reemphasize my point that evaded your feeble mind. What I implied is that I have little tolerance for foolish distractors . . . . .

Your submissions were laughable and embarrassing to say the least .

jmaine:


I have little tolerance for distracting dregs like you . . . .

wow... sounds like he really did a lot.
So, how come I lived in a total of 3 states and 4 different towns during his 6 year tenure and I still never experienced the power stability I am experiencing now?and how come people were still complaining about power supply

ocelot2006:


Maybe because GEJ:

Built and commissioned FAR MORE power stations than his predecessors COMBINED

Fixed and expanded existing power stations

Ensured adequate gas supply via the GAS REVOLUTION that saw the construction and expansion of the MASSIVE gas delivery system

Upgraded and expanded the transmission grid, building far more substations and stringing new power lines

Responsible for massive distribution of of step down transformers initially held up at ports and PHCN offices

Built new distribution substations across the federation

Unbundled PHCN and sold it off, allowing for private sector participation

Outsourced TCN to major Canadian Utility Firm

jmaine:


It disgust me when intellectual imbec!les in your kind seek to distract me from more stimulating discourse on the board . . . . .Where do they import deplorable APC hacks from you from . . . . . .Damn !!!

ocelot2006:


I do not recall GEJ saying we had constant power supply, but him saying that power supply haf improved and it would've been a thing of the past. And he was RIGHT. Power had indeed improved across the country. In the restive North East were I worked, the states enjoyed almost 24hrs of power supply.

But the hatred for GEJ never allowed people like you to see the progress made, just the propaganda garbage you were fed daily.

jmaine:


Please quit the blabbing and tell us what part of GEJ power policy drive was transformed by Buhari into improved power supply . . .

Did he build new gas pipelines, new IPP plant e.t.c . . . . .

kinglekan:


Exactly!

I have no personal feud whatsoever against PMB and though I have my reservations about him, I can't just seem to wrap my hands around the logic behind praising him for the improvement in power supply.

How exactly has this government affected power generation? I haven't read of any reports claiming that our power generation has increased.

Someone should put up facts we can actually digest and not just come with the same rhetorics 'change has come', as though the mere announcement of that makes a difference.

ECOTERRORS:
can you give me PMB policies, input or funding that made the lights to remain.



Give honour to whom its due

jmaine:


So educate us on what PMB did to make power steady, any policy drive, funding e.t.c . . . . .


Thanks for your time as you inform us on what has changed . . . .

ECOTERRORS:
celebrate GEJ and his transformation in that sector

alphaconde:
But why didn't Buhari first contest as Kastina Governor and make the state the envy of all, then contest as president and repeat the achievement. Cus as e be now e be like say the guy de pass time de learn president work. Time no de, I don taya for talk talk.

Thanks.
Are you done with the CFA exams.
If not, which level are you writing next?

I dont know enough to dispute your claims, and as such I will not try.

My point is still unchanged. For how many years did northerners rule Nigeria with iron fists If it was about tribe alone, I will take an Igbo man 10 times before an Hausa man, the North has had its fair chance to rule. If it was Donald Duke or some other southerner that was running for Presidency, i will probably prefer him to Buhari.

However, the reality of the matter is this, tribe should have very little to do with these elections.

Jonathan has had 4 years to do Nigeria proud and he has not. Instead, he has embarassed us repeatedly and continues to show indifference too the plight of the people he is supposed to lead. As such I will rather vote for a man who MAY be a good leader.

I am so scared of the level of corruption in this country; i don't bother to watch the news anymore because it is like watching a tale of heartbreak over and over again. I am worried that a time would come when I can no longer buy things on amazon because the value of the Naira to the dollar is beyond what I can afford. I am scared that as soon as Jonathan wins these elections, petrol pump price will go back to 97 naira and he will give one stupid excuse or the other. I am scared because right now, Nigeria has two presidential candidates and no leader and yet our president saw fit to postpone presidential elections to further his own agenda. I am scared because 200 girls alledgedly went missing and our president did not act like he gave a damn; my sister could have been one of them. I am worried because our president went on record to sympathise with Charlie Hebdo victims, when dozens died in baga in his own back yard and he did not say anything; as though French lives matter more than that of Nigerians.

The guy has been a disgrace for 6 years. No one is saying Buhari is an ideal candidate, but frankly, I think i will vote anyone as long as there is a chance that he will atleast halt the downward spiral that GEJ has thrown us into. Whether it furthers some parochial of sectarian interests somewhere is none of my business. The money they get from furthering their interests never cascades down to me.

i dont know who the King makers are in this country, I dont care. As for all the things you claim, some people definitely hate Jonathan because he is south-southern, just as some people only like him for the same reason. The same applies to Buhari and his northern background. If you want to make it a Yoruba problem, that's up to you.

Which politician in Nigeria does not try to further his own agenda? Which politician is not looking out for his own self interests? before he took office, my answer to that question would have been Goodluck Jonathan.

In Nigeria, our politicians are generally very self-serving. We have had corrupt Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba leaders, so no one tribe holds the monopoly on corruption. Jonathan's campaign strategy seems to be to highlight the tribal and religious differences among Nigerians. He is no messiah. the Fact is that if he had been a good president in the last 6 years, he would not have earned the title of being the most insulted leader in Nigerian History. And the Yoruba political class as you call them would not have so much ammunition to use against him.

That said, Oga, I will gladly have arguments in a civilized manner. But I have not called you Trite or insulted you in any way. Please extend the same courtesy.

rhymz:
hahahahh.... You sound very trite my dear. Which Yorubas trooped en mass to vote in 2011? Can you please put up the figures from the regions with regard to the 2011 presidential elections, I am not interested in overflolgged statements like yours about Yorubas fictitiously voting en mass for PDP in 2011, that's a lie. Here is a summary of the regional votes that won the elections for Jonathan, people lie figures don't lie.



according to the 2011 presidential elections,
majority of PDP votes came from
ABIA 1,175,984
AKWA-IBOM 1,165,629
ANAMBRA 1,145,169
DELTA 1,378,851
IMO 1,381,357
KADUNA 1,190,179
LAGOS 1,281,688
PLATEAU 1,029,865
RIVERS 1,817,762
and the regional vote for PDP was;
southwest 2,836417
southeast 4,985246
southsouth 6,014283
northwest 3,024797
northcentral+fct 3,376570
northeast 1, 498425

These are the stubborn facts, you can not spin this one like you lot do on SR.
I want to see how you explain the Yoruba voting en mass for Jonathan, like we all are kids that did not exist during that election or Yoruba people just like to arrogate some false sense of being king makers in this country to appear larger than life.

Like I said before, Yorubas are not known to vote for anyone with so much interest unless of course there is the possibility of the kind of concessions Buhari and the Northern political elite have promised. When it comes to politics, the Yoruba political class are opportunists, their kind of politics is the one that care more about Yoruba self interest than Nigeria's self interest that is the fact. Opposition to Jonathan from the SW region has little to do with his performance or the alleged corruption in his government as facts show otherwise, it has more to do with sectional, parochial political interests of its political class and the fact that they are using their control of the media to effectively unleash a well sustained propaganda against a government whose media arm is unfortunately mediocre . The one that exploits the North's thirst for power and disdain for a Jonathan coming from a minority tribe to assert power over Northerners. Nothing more. We are not new to Yoruba mode of politics, I just feel it is insulting when they try to make it look like they are doing everyone a favour by diving the south and using propaganda to rubbish this government.

Making tribalistic comments and calling it an intellectual argument. LWKMD!!!

An intellectual man would know better than to say Jonathan should not be our president for the next four years because igbos are useless and are the cause of all the bad things that have happened in Nigeria's history. You did not make your arguments with his actual flaws and faults, you went straight to his tribe (Jonathan is not even Igbo, he is Urhobo).

Nobody asked for your own opinion too. Its a public forum. As long as you comment on the subject of the thread and you obey the rules, you reserve the right to quote anybody you want.

Check my history, I never insult people that dont first of all insult me.

You are just blowing dust up and down. I called you out on your comments, defend your comments with facts instead of stomping your foot up and down like a spoilt 4 year old.

*Fact 1: You quoted someone who said people are wrongly choosing to vote Jonathan based on tribal sentiments (a point I agree with). However, your response in agreement with the author was tribalistic and insultive, calling Igbos a useless tribe and saying Yorubas are starting to share the hatred towards them that Hausa/fulanis have. Are igbos the only ones that vote along the lines of tribal sentiments?

*Fact 2: I called you out and said you should not make insultive tribalistic comments on a public forum because tribe is just one characteristic that defines a man.

*Fact 3: From there you started saying rubbish.

I am a person who prefers objectivity and tolerance for one's neighbour rather than prejudice against a person based on his race or tribe or some other characteristic that he has no control over. If that makes me opinionated, so be it. I will rather be an opinionated unifying force than a divisive tribalist.

See that I have editted your post below, i think you made those grammatical errors in anger.

Another comedic point, someone who claims to hate Igbos and thinks they are useless, calling another person a Bigot. Ironically comedic!

And to answer your question; Yes I know that a mad man always thinks he is better and saner than the people around him. That is the first thing you have said that has made sense, perhaps you should reflect on your own words.

I can't stand a person who dislikes another just because of his tribe; as such I am very happy that it is now clear to you that I should be avoided like a man with leprosy or whatever. Your efforts to stay out of my leprosy-infected radar will be greatly appreciated.

FolarinLondon:


It's quite obvious to me now that you are opinionated person who needs to be avoided like a man with leprosy....

Nobody askED for your senseless advice or opinion in the first place, just keep your repulsive and bigoted (big·ot
ˈbiɡət/: a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.) opinion to yourself.

Do you know that a mad man always thinkS he is more better and saneR than sane people around him; I presumed you think you are making sense but in the midst of intellectuals, all your points are meaningless.

What is in Nigerian History? Biafran war? an Igbo man planned a coup. Hausas retaliated. Killing started. Is it only Igbos that have caused coups in the past? a few men do something dishonest, and you call their entire tribe useless

Half the people alive when these historic things happened are no more, but you are here, spewing tribalistic comments up and down, bringing your biased triabalistic views into an election that should have nothing to do with tribe.
It is Nairaland, not Yorubaland.

Your write up was offensive, triabalistic, discriminatory and totally uncalled for. It is no different from a white man saying all black men are criminals because world history has shown that we are always the ones committing crimes.

If there is one thing I have learnt, If a man does not want to see common sense, no matter how hard you try or whatever you say, your words will never make sense to him.

Forward thinking is not for the closed minded.

Enjoy your status as a "usefull" Yoruba man. Shey na only you and Hausas go go heaven abi na only una get Naija.

Read the comment up before every post, it says "Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section"


Nuff said, I'm done with this pointless arguement.

FolarinLondon:



The entire write up is nothing but pure gibberish; All what you wrote up there made no sense.

Go and read Nigeria history in and out and come back here to dispute all the points raised in my write up instead of drooling over my post.

If your findings are contrary to my submission after reading Nigeria history, I ll gladly tender an unreserved apology

On coruption, IBB said judging by d coruption going on now he is a saint, IBB annuled june 12 and we av not 4given him but I guess we could excuse him b'cos he was a military ruler but 4 a civilian president to annul/prospone/defer an election jst 6days to d election is whAt I cannot fathom. Mayb IBB is really a saint compared to GEJ

Yorubas March4Buhari...... It is so obvious that the polity of this country has very dangerous tribal shades of all sorts of irresponsible considerations and reasons.

All of a sudden security does not matter to thus folks again, all they want to do is vote even if the atmosphere smells of impending violence and chaos that will need the full efforts of the security agencies. Why is it so important to the APC that elections must hold on February 14th, unless they are up to something then I see no reason why this should raise so much dust especially in the face of the violence and obvious lack of capacity by the INEC to effectively distribute PVCs.

I will always say this, Yorubas play politics of parochial interests, it is so obvious that very little number are in for it because they want a better Nigeria, they are doing all these because Buhari is being propped up by the Yoruba political elite and has promised to concede some degree of political control, power, interests and influence to the people of the region. It is not about corruption or any positive change for them. But the fact still remains, either way, Nigeria is bleeped, I won't be surprised when the militants in the creeks starts their own problem which usually is more damning than BokoHaram killing a hundred poor northern villagers. It is a painful fact though.

Our president has done more than one good thing.
He has done many good things.

https://www.nairaland.com/2117791/achievements-jonathan-sambo-administration-pictures

in addition to having elections that are more free & fair than under OBJ.

However, the Thief'nuibu cabal has been very successful in rubbishing all that good work with persistent personal attacks on the president that has worked on our mostly gullible fellow citizens.

Those who can remember will recall how a similar strategy was used against Fashola in 2009 until he had to BEG the JagaBandit to secure his second term.

FolarinLondon:


Thank you my brother. Just a quick additional info to what you wrote about these useless people

They have been the sole problem of this great country right after independence and strongly believed that the colonialists saw this too.

Check out all their atrocities from 60s till date, it's undeniably shocking and bewildering but let me assure you that Yorubas are beginning to develop this same hatred of Hausas/Fulanis towards them and when the right time comes.......We ll separate the wheat from the chaff.

I have discovered that only block heads,illiterate people are supporting their illiterate brother,Buhari.Birds of feather flock together.
