Buhari be like *we are all ready diversifying the economy and creating employment in bayelsa*

He will stabilize the global price of brooms.

I just observed that Buhari who has failed twice in his bid to be elected president has suddenly realised that the SE and SS exist.

In his previous campaigns in the failed attempts he did not even bother to visit majority of the states in the SE and SS believing they were irrelevant.

After failing repeatedly he has decided to pay lip service to some states who have furnished him with rented crowds albeit scanty.

Even though this may seem to be a good move, I think he is just lining the pocket of broom sellers who have happily come out to cheer him.

My advice for Buhari is that he should consolidate on his strong points if any and quit wasting his time and resources.

ahaika23:
Happy?

More please

Revolutionary design.

Definitely stands out from the crowd.

Walk of shame

Really, does he want to incite sharia law so that his grandchild's fingers will be cut off?

Hmm this man is a dangerous combination of military autocracy and jihadist extremism.

And he is clearly showing his hatred for a simple peace sign from an innocent child.

Is it war he wants?

Good riddance!

Very polarising colour.
Stands out.

If Buhari comes to my vicinity

I will definitely want to see the man that toppled Nigeria's budding democracy.

>90% of the crowd just want to make sure they do not vote for him by mistake.

I do not like the way these boko governors are looking at GEJ

Rawani:
The North as a result of the influence of religion, emphasised Koranic education as opposed to western education, which is why it is quite difficult to find a northern muslim child without Koranic education. This is a major reason why it is not at par educationally with other regions, which were also influenced by a different religion that promoted a different kind of education (missionaries that established western schools).

If that system was not balanced, the south would have dominated the north due to that imbalance in educational penetration.

In a bid to "balance" the inequality we have ended up with a very skewed system that has sacrificed meritocracy and further deepened the ethnic divide.

If the system was allowed evolve naturally every region would have built on its strong points.

The quota system is one of the strongest factors that has prevented Nigeria from developing.

A self mutilating system that encourages weakness and mediocrity while stifling hard work.

What it has led to is a society that has thrown meritocracy under the bus.

Imagine the bitterness in the heart of that Anambra state primary six pupil who has laboured all night to score 130 in common entrance only to be told that he cannot get in because his slot has been taken by a Katsina state pupil who scored 10.

That same Katsina student will use his JAMB quota to gain admission into a university with a score of 30.

Then go ahead and get employed in a federal parastatal with his quota slot, rise through the ranks and become a director that will head a ministry he knows nothing about therefore running it to the ground.

Nearly useless

APC is really working hard at getting bogus and meaningless endorsements.

icebeatz:
Not hating but how long are we going to keep celebrating people with ill gotten wealth??
We all know how ayiri made his wind fall money during the niger delta crises and how jonathan's government (started with yardua) stupendously enriched him, tompolo, boy loaf and co. These people sabotaged nigeria through like murderous ways and perennial oil bunkering amongst many other atrocities we may never hear about.

Its high time we start shunning these sort of people. If they show off, turn your face the other way.
Our values is all fuuccccked up maine.


I am not a hater. I will celebrate tiwa savage and the small kobo she got cos I know she worked honestly for it.

I will celebrate any nairalander that keeps his hand upright and makes good money also.

Thank you

Is it cattle and cocoa that will fund their parallel government?

sharkhead:
Hmm..So you will rather sell your "birth right" all because there is "nothin messianic" about an igbo presidency? Easu comes to mind! Hope when d policies no longer favor the SE aand those indices start plumeting you wont cry marginalization. Who is even talkin about an Igbo presidency when your kind of mentality is the reason the Igbo are not cohesive enough to be considred a pressure group-where they can influence policy decisions in government. Look at the GEJ government and evry other government before it, d north has always bn at the forefront of favorable policy decisions-you might say they have the "born to rule" mentality but who ends up crying at the end of d day? What has GEJ done for d SE relative to the North....its ol about interest brother n not sentiments thats why its called politics!

OK
Supporting APC is getting my birth right.
OK

No one wants a "crate bundling" autocratic dictator to set his foot on their soil and defile it.

Not anymore.

Collynzo9:
Your long epistle culminated in one thing.. the actualization of an Igbo President.
However you forgot to tell us what special benefits an Igbo Presidency will bring to the average Igbo man citing examples with the Yorubas, Fulanis, Kanuris and Ijaws who have ruled before.

Thank you so much.

I always laugh when people think that an Igbo presidency is the messianic answer to all Igbo problems.

It is not and Igbos have long realised that.

Igbos have not been president in any democracy but they still have some of the best indices in all facets of human endeavor from education to health to economy.

Those who have held unto power the longest have the poorest masses with politico religious unrest and gross inequalities between the elites and masses.

So telling Igbo to align with APC because it gives them the best shot at presidency in the unknown future is a very lame and laughable ideology.

GoatluckJonafuck:
in ur wrapped mind u think it was waec conductin ssce some 50 years ago

50 years ago!

Shouldn't he be in the retirement home playing with his grand children?

sCun:
GEJ is used to criticism and has proved that unlike Obasanjo, he isn't interested in assasinating political opponents or critics.
If anyone would want to kill Father Mbaka now, it is APC and their agents in order to score points.
GEJ cannot be foolish enough to send people after than man's life knowing the effect such an action would have.
If anything, the President should beef up Mbaka's security now. APC are dangerous and can do anything to get that power. If they can ride on boko haram's back despite the thousands they have killed, Mbaka is too small for them.

Well said

OP thanks for the brilliant pictures.

Rail is that way forward.

Safe and cheap for all.

How long does it take from PH to Umuahia?

Good news that should have come much earlier if not for the refusal of vaccination by those states.

Adextaiwo48:
are they not running mates... Well seems you are used to d cluless Sambo who never utter a word since his swearing in.

Who is the VP of US?

Do not use Google.

Osibanjo this and Osibanjo that.

Is GMB not the presidential candidate or is there something APC is not telling us.

I hope you guys are not planning of getting rid of GMB.

He cannot compliment his master's utter lack of economic know how.

Very decent considering the number of parastatals under the presidency.

It also includes
Lubricants

Vehicle fuel

Generator fuel

Cooking gas
Etc

RIP

Stay strong GEJ

ohzee:
I live in Enugu and can categorically and proudly state here that for over 6 months my family and I have been eating completely destoned local Abakaliki rice. It is nutritious and tasty. It cooks fast too. In fact though there is Ebony gold the locally made polished rice, but I still prefer the unpolished variety. The first time I cooked it nobody even noticed the difference.

Thank you so much.

It seems not so many people are aware of the availability of good quality destoned Abakaliki rice.

It tastes way better than the foreign rice and is healthier too.

I even think it is becoming more expensive now than the imported rice.

Ilovenigeria:
Sorry, I lost my parents on a new year.

So sorry.

Stay strong

Hello friend, people go above 190km/hr on Benin bypass going towards Warri interchange . You can also do well above 170km/hr on Benin Warri Highway. My own least cruising speed on these roads over a period of 5 years that I worked in Warri and shuttled from IB was 160km/hr. Sure you won't believe that I once got dusted at 200km/hr by a biker on Akure-Ilesha Highway? Mind you, this was on the single carriageway portion about 2 years ago. I regularly chased the particular group of bikers in question. On Ilesha dual carriageway up till Oduduwa University roundabout near Ife, you can enjoy your car steady at slightly above 200km/hr. FYI I did all of this in[b] a Maxima [/b]that I bought here on Nairaland in Feb 2010 from "Arnold.... .? " I changed oil/tyres etc at less than 1/2 the due periods though. In conclusion, as someone said earlier, Nigerian roads are not as bad as to limit us to a meager 145kmph

That explains it.

I have done something similar in a maxima without stress (that car handles excellently for a non luxury japanese) some time in the past but i will not try it again.

I also advise that you should not.
