danono:
This is Edo State and not Lagos State brother. The Edo people is supreme. The issue is not party is about individuals involved. Do you understand the word ESANGBEDO. Decode.

Goodmorning fellow Nigerians, Nairalanders and Guests of this forum. Today (June 29) marks the second month of the life of Buhari's administration. I have therefore taken the step of matching some of his campaign promises with the reality on ground two months into his Presidency (Happy Reading).

1. Failure To End Boko-Haram As Promised:
During Buhari's Jan 22, 2015 campaign for the Presidency in Imo state, he made a pledge/promise to end Boko Haram insurgency within TWO months if elected. In his own words...

“If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”
www.thenationonlineng.net/polls-campaign-promises-great-expectations/

Unfortunately, contrary to his assurance the BH terrorists has neither been chased out nor is there any significant improvement in this fight.

2. Failure To BringBackChibokGirls:
On August 11, 2014, the Northern Elders Forum gave then President Jonathan a TWO month deadline to BringBackChibokGirls. According to them, failure to return the Chibok girls within the time frame automatically means forfeiture of Jonathan's right to seek re-election in the March 2015 poll. In their own words..

“In the event that President Jonathan fails to do this, Nigerians will be left with the only conclusion that he has forfeited his right to ask for our mandate beyond 2015.”
www.leadership.ng/news/380738/northern-elders-give-jonathan-2-month-ultimatum-produce-chibok-girls-end-insurgency

Buhari promised to reunite the missing girls with their families..

"I will give all it takes to ensure that our girls that were kidnapped from Chibok are rescued and reunited with their families." (President Muhammadu Buhari, March 2015)

Though he never fixed a timeline, I believe it is fair that he inherits the 2months deadline given to Goodluck Jonathan by Northern Elders Forum. His failure to return the school girls after two months in power should therefore means a forfeiture of his right to extend his mandate beyond 2019 in line with the NEF scale.

3. The Failure of Him and His Appointees To Publicly Declare Their Assets:

“I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees to publicity declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment."
www.dailypost.ng/2015/02/20/buhari-pledges-publicly-declare-assets-voted-office/

Those were the words of Muhammadu Buhari in his February 25 pledge. Unfortunately, it's been TWO months since taken over and we are yet to see the Assets of the President and his Vice. More painful is the fact that NONE of the President's appointees (Shehu Garba, Femi Adesina, NSA Moguno, Accountant-General etc) has declared their assets PUBLICLY contrary to his pledge of "as a pre-condition for appointment.".

4. Failure To Commence/Implement Other Programs:
It is unfortunate that two months into this administration, no one is talking about other Buhari promises like the 12 months post service payments for Corp members and feeding of primary school pupils. There is no mechanism in place to ensure that monthly N5000 payment to the elderly, disabled and the unemployed.

It is worthy to note that Buhari is yet to achieve ANY of his campaign promises. Though I never voted President Buhari at the March 28 poll, I believe that it is the right of every citizen irrespective of party or religious affiliation to hold the government accountable. I also believe that we (critics) are doing the APC favor by our constant criticisms. In fact, the APC on April 30 through its Chairman, Chief John Oyegun admonished the opposition to constantly keep the APC/Buhari government on their toes. In his own word...

“We(APC) want the PDP to keep us on our toes so that we don’t make the same mistake they made.”
www.thenationonlineng.net/oyegun-to-pdp-keep-us-on-our-toes/

God sparing our lives, we shall continue to keep them on their toes.


May God Bless Us All

Ishilove: Funny enough it isn't painful. The chair scattering part is as a result as a loss of control over your body. The 'catchers' are usually too far when it happens, so you are at liberty to scatter the chairs around you and trod on a few toes while you're at it .

The temptation to remain 'slain' is there, but eventually, you slowly recover and you have no choice but get up. In my case, I felt shaken to my bone marrows on various occasions, and on one particular occasion, my hands vibrated non-stop for close to forty minutes. After that day, my spiritman was renewed and I felt like three women. However, the cares and troubles of this world distracted me and slowly supressed the fire...and you know the rest

bcomputer101: The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has told
the leader of Congress for Progressive Change, Maj.-
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and the National
Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, to stop parading themselves as saints and
democrats.
It said it had taken stock of the activities of the two men
and came to the conclusion that they were bitter
because they knew that "they will lose the 2015 general
elections despite the so-called merger of their parties
which is built on deceit, corruption and falsehood and as
such want to invent excuses" ahead of time.
PDP Acting National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Tony Okeke,
in a statement in Abuja said, "Buhari and Tinubu, who
are well-known despots, lack the moral justification to
pontificate on democracy, especially when all their
actions are dictatorial."
But the ACN, through its spokesperson, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, berated the PDP, saying its leadership
lacked knowledge on happenings in the party.
Mohammed asked the PDP leadership to look inward in
order to be able to realise that there were works to be
done in-house before it could accuse others of inaction
or dictatorship.
Okeke said, "In 2003, he forced John Nwodo Jr. and other
presidential candidates in the then All Peoples Party to
step down for him, leading to the famous 'I weep for
Nigeria' statement by Nwodo. In 2003, Buhari imposed
himself and failed. In 2007 and 2011, he imposed himself
and failed. If he imposes himself and his lackey, Tinubu
or Tinubu's wife as a running-mate in 2015, he will also
fail."
The statement also described Tinubu as a man lacking in
democratic credentials.
Okeke said, "Tinubu has been going around making
statements to portray himself as a hero of democracy
from which imaginary pedestal he continues to vilify and
accuse the PDP of working against Nigeria's democracy.
"It is to say the least, rather pathetic that the opposition
leader has failed to realise that Nigerians have since
become fully aware of his antecedents as he has
continued to exhibit crass dictatorship in the leadership
of the ACN and states controlled by the ACN."
Mohammed, however, carpeted Okeke on his claim,
saying he had little or no knowledge of issues he was
raising.
He said, "Oluremi Tinubu represents Lagos Central
Senatorial District while Mamora was representing Lagos
East. You can see the level of ignorance from the people
who are representing the self-acclaimed biggest political
party in Nigeria."
He said, "The PDP seems not to know the different
between endorsement and election. Endorsement does
not stop election and primary.
"What is happening in Rivers State is a case of
intolerance. What happened in Bayelsa State when
Timipre Sylva was stopped by a single person, was that
not the height of dictatorship. The PDP is known for
intolerance."

poshdiva: Dem dey tell u say u go die na dat one still dey your mind. Chai!

TechyGuy: Following the news and like that of Boston, the people once again collaborated with security operatives to thwart the plot. If only our security operatives get the kind of support from the communities where terrorists have thrived in Nigeria, the security challenges would have been subdued.

talk2s: Well, after the attacks and counter attacks;
After the accusations and counter-accusations;
After the condemnations and susequent defences;
I dare say: NIGERIA. IS FOR US ALL - let us salvage it together. If I could, at least, peddle my side of the boat well; And if you could, at least, do the same thing, we will very certainly arrive at the shore together, safe and fulfilled - someday!

madanne4real: Abati is doing what an average Nigerian would do giving the situation he has found himself. For want of putting butter and bread on his table and ensuring continued sustenance of his offspring, he has become a turncoat. Abati is not the only one in the class of his own, the other guy at Sahara Reporters was also alleged to have abandoned his principle for a morsel of bread so that he would become the First Lady's spokesman. Who wouldn't. It is all about serving our nation. Even lawyers are known to defend criminals. Abati, okupe and his ilks would be rehabilitated someday somehow. Do not be surprised when my friend Reno Omokri becomes the next Delta state Deputy Governor or a senator of the Federal Republic. There are only a handful of principled Nigerians around.

Billyonaire: So public officers cant afford less than 9million naira for a car ? Nnah, nawa for you people oh. How much you think salaries are ? Some people earn 4m to 5m monthly in oil and gas sector, most politicians at the Federal level earn something on that margin as salaries oh.

jumobi1: Not necessarily with "our money"
A govt official can buy it with personal $ and put govt # on it.

Imprida: you leave the house for her

carefreewannabe: If someone punches me and I punch back, then yes, I used violence and therefore was violent the moment I punched back.
I could have also walked away PEACEFULLY.

Whichever reaction is right or wrong is a different question.

Abrantie: My broda don't even bother oo. Just focus on yourself, upgrade your education, skills or whatever hustle you think can make you succeed. The rest will fall in place.

chaircover: I am not excusing the ladies but I think the man who is breaking his vows and putting his family at risk also needs to be held responsible too.
