akin33: At this jucture, let us stage a protest to stop this broad day stealing. The PDP has succeeded in making themselves empire. If we keep silence, it will continue. The salaries of a senate or reps enough to develope a community. Chai! This evil must stop. Revolution to chase PDP away in 2015 election is sure. Graduates, atisan, businessmen, man & woman, let us come together to stop these few people that are pocketing our wealth. Imagine, in d midst of unnemployment and hunger. A person earn such amout of money and dnt care to create jobs.

Have you seen any CPC or ACN legislator that refused his/share? If they are strong enough to determine who emerged as speaker and strong enough to start an impeachment campaign, why are they not strong enough to start a salary reduction or anti wastage campaign? Hmmm

ypzilanti: exactly what i keep saying. Why has no one organized a march on the national assembly?

Because that's not the agenda. The agenda is to return the power back to the core north with the support of the south west. They own the oil blocks and need to renew their licences by 2016. The only hindrance is the middlebelt and south south!

Everfrank: It was the fear of Buhari that made all the corrupt rallied round GEJ and capitalized on his inexperience believing that It'll be business as usual. A president Buhari would have pursued this matter differently. Its not too late as GEJ can still resign and save his face. [color=#006600][/color]

Who exactly is afraid of Buhari? You keep believing what the CPC propaganda peeps tell you. He was kicked out without stress in 1985. What exactly has changed since then? He was PTF chairman for 5 years and wasted hundreds of billions of naira with nothing to show for it. Can you name any major PTF project in your state? Where you expecting members of PDP to support Buhari over Jonathan? You are really hilarious. Where you expecting SS, SE and MB to vote for him? Where you expecting people from Jos, southern Niger and Kaduna, Taraba, southern Bauchi and many other Christian north to vote for him. Keep deluding yourself. Christian northerners hate buhari ten times more than most southerners. He is not electable in a free and fair election even in a thousand years. Shioor!

phildon: And I just can't imagine a criminal facing presucation like this threatening Gen Mohd Buhari. OMG! Buhari, we miss you.

Hahahahaha! And what would he have done? Shoot them on the head. You think this is 1984? You think you could have insulted a governor, talk more of a president under military rule in 1984? Even if he was a gentle man? Lol. Some of you show you are kids on this forum. Let me remind you that the said Buhari hid behind Idiagbon for 20 months. That was the first and only time in Nigeria where a vice president was more popular, respected and feared than the president. Hahahahahaha!

Sisi_Kill: How do you not get that it is not about supporting the so called cabal or being against the prosecution of the offenders. It is the fact that the offenders can boldly mention the PRESIDENT'S name like he is just another run of the mill crime partner.

And the fact that Mr. President was very hesitant about admitting there was indeed a Cabal does not paint a good picture.

The President should be above reproach or is that too much to ask? (Here's the part where the apologist start their show and tell on which president was corrupt before GEJ's turn. . .as if that makes it okay)

Congratulations for successfully indicting yourself and showing us your true motive for criticising. You mean an educated person like you came to a public forum, criticized and insulted the president of his/her country because an accused man who is being prosecuted in court boldly mentioned his name.

So if you were one of the cabals, what will be your best strategy to stall or stop the prosecution? What was Farook's strategy to stall his prosecution? Was is not to accuse the president for setting him up? You really think the cabal would go down without a fight? If I boldly call you an ashewo now, will that make it correct? Well it is obvious you are partisan. I don't need to say more. I see your level of reasoning and its sad. You lot want to try and scuttle the prosecution of offenders, go ahead! You are now officially defending oil thieves and it is on record! Smh

Gbawe: I have seen mo.ro.nic GEJ sycophants disgraced far too many times on this forum to take your olodo talk seriously. It is always more enjoyable to let events play out and make big fools of you unrepentant and morally bankrupt dullar.ds who keep licking the azz of a leader disgraced many times as a poster child of corruption and a great pal and 'enabler' of the most corrupt in the land.

After typing all this story, simple question is what do you support? Are you now against the prosecution of the offenders? Do you now support the blackmailing cabal? What exactly do you stand for? If Jonathan is the poster child of corruption, then we have a house divided against itself and as the good book says, it shall not stand. So why not support the prosecution then and see the house crumble? Why are you lot trying to scuttle it? Funny

Kobojunkie: um . . . it depends on who you were listening to. First of all, I don't think you have been reading what the people have been saying on here. The issue has not been about the Government prosecuting them but about the government ensuring that those involved in robbing the Nigerian people blind, are found guilty, and made to pay back every last dime.
For pete's sake Nigerians have seen how the elite are "prosecuted" in Nigeria and how the sentences amount to a slap on the wrist . . . From the Alamieshiegas, to the Bode Georges, the Ibori's, the Odili's, Igbenedions,the Tompolos, the Halliburton linked criminals etc. Most of these were "prosecuted" but guess what, they walked out of court free of charges . . . at the end of the play, I mean day.
Many on here and in Nigeria, have come to accept, from past experiences, both under this administration and those prior, that the likelihood of those fingered even in the various subsidy probes, getting off easy is high. And many have accepted that it is more a charade than a prosecution in the real sense of the word.

I think, if you are really not one of these so-called laptop goons we have on nairaland, you calm down and read what people are really saying. If you however happen to be one of the 40 laptop goons, then ignore my post cause I really have no time to waste on such.

You summed up the fact that your post lacked any real substance by throwing in the 40 laptop blackmail tactics. The guy asked a simple and intelligent question. Why not live him to grab your point himself instead of posturing that if he didn't get or agree with your opinion, he must be a 40 laptop member.
Congratulations! You have also just created a new goal post! In your words:
"The issue has not been about the Government prosecuting them but about the government ensuring that those involved in robbing the Nigerian people blind, are found guilty, and made to pay back every last dime. "

Hahahahahaha! So GEJ must not only prosecute them, he must kick out the judge and pass the sentence himself. He must then proceed to hunt them down and shoot them at sight! That is the only way forward! Hahahahahaha

Cyber blackmail squad.

Hmmmm!

Interesting to see that Kobojunkie, Gbawe, Pataki, lacasa, Sisikill and others have become the defenders of corruption. How the table turns. They are in a big predicament now. They vowed with their lives that GEJ will never prosecute. Now he has disappointed them, they are really mad and furious with him and are supporting a campaign of blackmail against him. It is equally interesting that the first serious thread on Nairaland about the prosecution is a blackmail against the president. Hmmm. In the words of Nuhu Ribadu, "when you fight corruption, corruption will fight back".

The most interesting thing in all these is that the opposition started their dance/fight so early in this administration. That leaves them disadvantaged. Because now the president can go on and prosecute the oil thieves and fix the power problem and get a landslide second ticket! Very poor political calculation from ACN and CPC.

edicolove: I spent a few minutes actually contemplating whether to post on this thread because I consider this far beneath me. But in the end I opted to post and this is it.

I am a member of many fora around the internet and this is the most silly, despicable affront to freedom of speech I have ever seen. Completely shameful and a final indictment on the opposition. It really exposes the opposition as intolerant bigots and partisan in a despicable way. This will go down as the most unintelligent thread not just on NL but on the Internet that I have ever seen. It can't get lower than this. That the MODs put this on the front page is an indictment on NL and I promise to spread this around the internet to show the true colors of the Nigerian opposition. This is the best weapon ever in the hands of the GEJ camp I have seen. This has just taken NL 6 years back as a platform for freedom of expression. This is 2012, not 1960! This is really sad! signing out!

Just to add. I have never seen a forum where the owners of the forum put up a thread to insult a certain group in its forum. This is the height of disrespect and intolerance. It is as bad as any form of racism. If you think these group of people don't deserve to be on your forum, you should just go ahead and ban them. Then you can have threads where everyone just insults GEJ unopposed. You can even make all the threads GEJ insult threads if you like. Afterall, it belongs to you.

If this is the tolerance level of the opposition, then Nigeria is doomed and I make a vow that I will never vote for them even if everyone else in Nigeria votes for them! You can't bully people to vote for you. This is anti-democratic

O boy I dey feel you kpai!

dayokanu: In your Royal retardation you couldnt understand that Oshiomole went to tell Retardeen Jonathan to mind his business

Retardeen and his entourage were given a Royal Fuckyou by the Oba. Given a Majestic mind your own Business by Edo electorates,

Oshiomole just went to Aso Rock to console him and the "isho" - Insult given to him in Edo State

Bhuahahahahahahahaha!!! Are you an interpreter or a mind reader? Read the statement of the Governor and stop trying to interpret it! You aint that clever, believe me! LMAO!

Love the way Mimiko is treating their phuckup!!!

He wants to collect additional N2billion per month from where he didn't plant. Ole!

dayokanu: The m0r0n who was ignored by the Oba of Benin, Who was shamed out of Edo with his tail behind his legs.

Why should Oshiomole thank Tinubu when he is already running under Tinubus party?

Oshio just went to tell Retardeen in Aso rock to mind his business next time and avoid such embarrasment like below

See your f00000000lishness? I can understand that your tokunbo chinko curve 1/2 bb does no permit google search so I have painstakingly done it for you. Here's the link below and educate yourself! Lol



www.nairaland.com/991998/oshiomole-gives-gej-credit-edos/1#11465451

Rhino.5dm:
Even grass cutters that don't know the road to ondo state are here commenting. . .lord have mercy. This thread should be renamed to the "invasion of 40 laptops". I no fit shout!

Better still, the "invasion of tokunbo chinko BB curve 1 army of Dogs, Baboons and Ass.siwaju kissers!"

Block buster!!!!!!!

dayokanu: The same way you should have asked what was Retardeen Jonathan's interest in Edo that made him come like the m0r0n he is to Benin to canvass votes for the PDP

The same "m0r0n" that guaranteed Oshio Baba's victory and he went the next day to Abuja to openly thank him for it. He didn't even acknowledged Tinubu in the victory. You funny gan! Lol

Eko Ile: It's really irritating when people defend public officials by saying they are doing a great job, they are building this and that, but they still can not find up with one single fact, picture or any documented proof to back up their claims.

We are not mumu so please don't feed us with what you can not prove with anything.

Bhuahahahahahaha! Pot calling kettle black. If we ask you for pictures of fashola's development now, you will give us government stage managed commissions that we can't see on the ground or show us N20billion flowers planted over 5 years. You will not show us all the useless dilapidated government schools across Lagos. You will not show us all the abandoned health centers that MTN foundation has been trying their best to renovate. You will not show us all the terrible roads in surulere, Ajegunle, Ikeja, Ajao, Alimosho, etc. You will not show us the millions of dollars of fake chinko solar street lights all over Lagos. You will not show us an abandoned LASU where students now pay 250k schools fees (Awo would be turning in his grave for this). I could go on an on. I know when you get to these places I mentioned, your tokunbo BB curve 1 camera will suddenly stop working! Lol

dapo338: Just don't know why I really dislike this man...GEJ... I really hate to see his face

Because you are a bigot!!!

Delafruita: i have lived in lagos all my life and i believe i will be a good witness to change if any exists.when oyinlola left lagos and marwa came,we didnt expect much since he was a military man and we perceived him as in the same league with rasaki and oyinlola.however,marwa suprised everyone by actually working to improve lagos.he stole our money but at least he left us with something unlike others that stole and did nothing.
when tinubu came in,lagos was a wastebin.civil service was a conduit pipe for free money.everything that should be up was down and vice versa.education was in a dilapidated state.it is to tinubu's credit that within 4 years,he provided multiple mega schools which have become a model.tinubu embarked on too many projects at once which i believe he had the mind to complete in his second term.however,his scuffle with obasanjo began and allocations were withheld till his tenure ended.it it to asiwaju's credit that IGR was increased from a paltry 500mil monthly to over 30billion and it now stands at abbout 50billion.
when fashola came in,he mainly continued with tinubu's project like BRT and the light rail project.he was also lucky to receive the withheld allocations from yar'adua hence work moved at a faster pace.along the line,he developed his own ideas and with enough money to execute them,his performance was very visible.now,4years have passed,the withheld allocation which played a major part in his achievement is gone and he now has to depend on IGR and PPPs.hence the perception of slow pace in his second term.
no state has the quality of public schools in lagos.in truth,the megaschools havent reached all parts of lagos but when you consider the fact that lagos is more that the entire northcentral and almost at par with the entire SE and SS in terms of population,you will understand the clamour for lagos to be granted special status.a situation where lagos gets 7billion while bayelsa gets 13billion is just not right

This is getting really interesting. At least we learn everyday so can you please tell us the mega schools that Fashola built? You seem to forget Lagos is one place where people can monitor.

Secondly, you contradicted yourself when you said the IGR has has increased and then went on to say work was slow because of funds. If the IGR has increased to staggering N50B, isn't work supposed to increase too?

I actually thought Tinubu was going to do well in his first term and supported him back then but I think the guy became carried away by his quest to be the Yoruba leader and became distracted. Tinubu was the same way Rochas is now. A lot of talk and promise. But in the end, little work done. I hope Rochas will not end up the same way

Delafruita: all the projects were started by previous administrations.most are not yet completed.besides how do the above listed projects account for budgets of over 11trillion naira,loans of over $45billion dollars,erosion of over $30billion from federal reserve,over $18billion of excess crude account has developed wings.when people demand list of projects,its supposed to mean list of projects to defend over 30trillion naira that has been expended under 2 years by jonathan

Where did you get these figures from? Sahara Reporters, Nation newspapers or Osun Defenders?

Paentera: You erroneously use markets such as Alaba, Computer Village to determine the size of Ibos in Lagos - well, I'll tell you something - you're dead wrong and its such fallacial statements like this that gets people like you into trouble. Since when did Niger-Delta become part of this thread's topic?

Hahahahaha! You see the irony of life? You just proved one point and that is, all men are the same. They love their own, they protect their own, they are biased, they are selfish. I just layed out facts and you are already threatening me online. Lol. Get it straight. I don't a dang! thing about Lagos. I only think that Lagos has an undue advantage because of its status as a former capital. I am praying that changes soon. That's why I support the new Akwa Ibom sea port with all my bone. But I can bet one thing that you are not even a native of Lagos. Most so called Lagosians are not natives of Lagos.

engineerd: You will swallow your words, but mark mine first!!! I promise!!

You have a personal beaf with me or not? I don't have right to air my opinion again? I have layed out the facts. Debunk them if you can or get the heck away from your computer and go watch paloma or something! Haba!

Nairaland! A place filled with people who don't have a clue what is happening on the ground. In as much as I won't agree or disagree with the ogbonna guy, I must state that

1. The Igbos posting on NL might not follow Ogbonna but the Ibos on the streets follow people like Ogbonna. Go to Alaba, Idummota and Computer village and you will get and Idea.

2. Ibos are here in Lagos in their millions.

Some have been saying Lagos people. Who are Lagos people? Most of the people I have met who claim they are Lagos people are from Ekiti, Osun, Ogun, Kwara, etc. Original Lagos people are not much and can't determine who wins Lagos in a free and fair election. They dominate because other tribes don't really care. But I don't pray for a fight between Ibos and Yourubas in Lagos. You will be shocked what will happen. The Ibos have chased the yorubas out of Alaba and they couldn't do anything about it. Ajegunle is dominated by Niger Delta people completely. Places like surulere, festac, ikeja, ojo, and many others are completely dominated by non natives. Lagos is not like other places in the north. Lagos is not dominated by Yoruba.

caseless: 3 yrs runing and it's too early 2 rate him? Wat do u say of rochas who hav archieved so much in jst 1 yr in office? Geg govt has baber sit syndrom;so many motion bt no movement.

This thing you posted up there is the problem with Nigeria. A typical Nigerian want to be deceived. You adore those who lie to you. Its the fake life. If someone tells you the truth, you say he his slacking.

First, GEJ hasn't being there for 3 years. I mean, I don't even know why am correcting you on that. It is funny how you even typed that.

Secondly, like I said yesterday, Rochas has not achieved so much in one year of office. It is all a facade. A smokescreen. I don't ever take people who blow their trumpet like that serious. Its the same reason I criticize OShiomole sometimes. Both Oshio Baba and Rochas are very promising but neither have come close to being great. They just make more noise than everyone else. You cannot build infrastructure in one year. Rochas haven't achieved much. He just shouts a lot.

benzion72: @edicolove

You are wrong on Ibadan Ilorin Road the road has being under construction since inception of democracy OBJ awarded the contract and PDP fraud has never complete the project. All GEJ apologist need to tell him the truth he is doing nothing to touch people life. One year is a lot of time if people dedicate project within one hundred day in office, the guys need to sit tight and do something cogent

Like I said before, one year is too early to give a score card. Especially when it comes to building infrastructure. Do you know that unlike a private citizen, government can't do anything outside the budget? The time it takes government to plan for a nation is not beans. So to expect a big change in one year is ludicrous

BetaThings: Obj started cassava bread project with the then target of 10% cassava component
Yes GEJ's target is 40% cassava component

I just don't like this practice of EVERY government saying for THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THIS country. Obj too did the same. It is always too self serving

Go and find out, the cost of the Abuja airport reconstruction project is more than the amount required to BUILD A BRAND NEW airport

First I didn't say first to do cassava bread, but first to have a well defined agric policy. The last time we had something close to this kind of drive in agriculture was in 1977 during OBJ's first regime. But it wasn't followed thru.

I will be stup1d to come here and tell you GEJ's administration is faultless. Only ACN and Fashola supprters do that to their governors. I said clearly in the other threads on governors that they were all corrupt. All of them. But I only showed you that there are several ongoing projects to look at while stressing seriously that it is too early to judge him. He could turn out a mega success or a mega failure. I have a feeling the former will be the case but time will tell.

rman: Why is it that GEJ supporters always try to make Fashola look bad all the time?

All you have to do is make compelling arguments for your subject.

If they are not being biased at all, they will see that Lagos may have commissioned more projects than the FG in the last one year.

If you observe the posts above, you will notice the problem is from fashola supporters, not GEJ supporters. They are always the first to turn every thread into a GEJ hate thread and present fashola as the messiah. It isn't the other way round.

I will do a comprehensive analysis soon. Fingers crossed!

BetaThings: You can tell or lie?
60%. That means if there are 10 projects, FG did 6 and LASG did 4
Okay for every 4 I list, you must list 6 by FG.

1.Ojuelegba to Alaka Road
2. Yaba to Oyingbo Road
3. Montgomery Road Yaba
4. Ozumba Mbadiwe
5. Ozumba Mbadiwe to Lekki
6. Badagry Expressway
7. Ajose Adeogun Street
8. Adetokunbo Ademola Street

Okay let us have your 12 projects done by FG before I continue with my next set of multiple of 4

All these road you listed were not constructed by fashola. They existed long before fashola arrived. Adetokunbo Ademola and Ozunba Mbadiwe, (Ojuelegba to Alaka is just 5 poles apart so I don't know what u talking about) and others have been very good roads. He expanded Lekki road, a project started by Tinubu. He fixed the roads around Alausa, he fixed the idimu to Ojo road that leads to LASU, he fixed the roads around Maroko. But I can go on and on to show you bad road all over Lagos that have been totally abandoned. Fashola has not constructed new roads. He only fixed some existing roads. Get your facts right

While I think scoring GEJ now will be too early, I can jumpstart that with the following:

In roads, Zaria-Funtua-Gusau roads, Oshodi-Apapa with expansion and drainage works, dedicated bridge frm liverpool roundabout to Tin can ports, trailer park, Dualisation of Ibadan -Ilorin, ENUGU-Onitsha, completion of OWERRI -Onitsha, 9th mile, ongoing reconstruction of Benin-Ore-Sagamu highway measuring over 265 km, Kano-Maidugri Dualisation. Keffi -Akwanga-Lafia, award of Afikpo-Okigwe, Auchi-Okene being handled by Setraco. Loko-Eweta-Karishi bridge, Kolo-Nembe -Brass to mention but a few.

In Transport, massive reforms at the ports. Sanitisation and reduction of operating agencies to 7. Introduction of 24 hrs ports operation. Ongoing Construction of light gauge train railways across t4 cardinal point of the federation

In Aviation, massive reconstruction of major airports in the land, Enugu airport is undergoing total rehabilitation. The domestic wing of Abuja airport is also being reconstructed with expansion of roads and car parks. Same fr the international wing and the kano airports

In Education, establishment of 9 new federal universities in less than 1 year. Constructed 2 new campuses of the Nigerian law schools in Yenagoa and Yola respectively. Launched the Almajiri schools for education of itenerant Islamic pupils in the north wFhich Buhari and other northern leaders abandoned. Increased funding to almost 400 billion to education thereby setting an all time highest record. Reinvigorated the inspectorate oversight of schools leading to the revocation of some licenses from universities. Executed the landmark upgrade of university lecturers retirement age from 65 to 70.

In agriculture, for the first time in our history, we have a clearly defined agricultural policy which is targeted towards maximum utilisation of cassava for growth thru the launch of the cassava bread campaign. The policy is intended to reduce our reliance on imported wheat so as to encourage local production of cassava and it's conversion to flour for bakery. The FG has in less than one year eliminated the middlemen cartel that fed fat on fertiliser distribution at the expense of local farmers. Now through deregulation reforms, fertiliser is now accessible in the open market. he has also embarked on massive construction of silos and has increased import duties on the importation of rice in order to encourage local farmers. The efforts of the minister has been so appreciable that the world bank assisted with over 50 billion Naira for fertiliser redistribution scheme/ silos. The CBN has also set up a 500 billion loan scheme which is to assist farmers. Farmers database is being compiled nationwide and improved seedlings are being distributed to them.

The power roadmap is on as you know and PHCN has been unbundled. The PIB has been sent to the NASS and is expected to be passed into law as soon as it scales the NASS.

Like I said, we hope he succeeds for the benefit of Nigeria but I will prefer to start accessing him at least, after 2 to 3 years.
