@OP.

You are wasting your own time because you fail to acknowledge the calibre of people who come here. Many joined deliberately because of Nairalands reputation as a forum that encourages ethnic rancour. What you are witnessing is happening because it is what majority here, despite their hypocritical noise, are happy with from forum members to mods and even the owner.

Do you think this is the only Nigerian forum in cyberspace? Why are those other forums not hosts to the sort of vile bigots we have here? It is because the voices of decency cowers those of the miscreants - and rightfully so - on those forums. Not so here. Learn to ignore bigots and carefully choose who to respond to. That is the only way to use this forum productively. All this you are doing is akin to finding yourself in a prison filled with hardened killers and then deciding you must teach them ballet by force.

DaLover: Just imagine the strength with which you focus on the little things...it's no wonder the bigger picture regarding Nigeria's problems continue to elude you...while your type continue to see corruption as the problem, others see it as a symptom of structural deficiencies in the system which need to be addressed.
On the other hand it could be that the strength you deploy to non issues is part of your greater scheme of bring him down at all cost...or how else would you assume that forgetting someone's name amounts to not knowing the person...and then proceeding to flog the issue like a mad man hallucinating.
Shut up you silly bigot.

The PDP is not tagged "a nest of killers" for nothing.

FORMER PDP CHAIRMAN ARRESTED FOR POLITICAL ASSASINATION


Addressing a news conference in Kano, the state’s Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Idris said the alleged killer identified as Ibrahim Lawal led the police to the suspected sponsor who allegedly sponsored the killing of two legislatures at the cost of N100, 000.
Alhaji Kura who is currently the chairman of the amalgamated traders association of Sabon Gari market in Kano was also an influential member of the PDP in the state. He was the party’s chairman in Tarauni local government area some three years ago.

He was allegedly arrested for sponsoring the killings of Alhaji Abba Garko of the PDP and Alhaji Isah Kademi of the All Nigerian People’s Party (ANPP).
According to the commissioner, the arrested politician has confessed to have physically participated in the attack and shooting of the late honourable members.
Meanwhile, one Abdullahi Mabo who was reported to have been the gang leader of the hired assassins; a gang Ibrahim Lawal confessed to have joined in January 2012 has now been declared wanted by the police.
The police command also confirmed that the suspected mastermind Alhaji Sale Kura was together with the late Honourable Abba Garko at the time of his assassination and prayed together at Yan’Awaki before he was killed by Ibrahim Lawal.
In an interview with Channels Television, Ibrahim lawal said he confessed the alleged offence under duress, while Alhaji Kura refuted any knowledge of sponsoring the assassination of two legislators.
Prior to his assassination, Alhaji Abba Garko was said to have concluded arrangement to leave PDP while Alhaji Danladi Isah Kademi was described as the strongest member of ANPP in the State House of Assembly.

Eziachi: You should leave him alone now and accept his explanation, irrespective of how pathetic it might have sounded. He may be genuine mixing up the two guys, its not in the gene of an average Nigerian to admit, error or not knowing something. So you guys might be here next year if you expect him to say, that he didn't know.
I take no interest in alienating anyone here or dividing the forum. Nonetheless, I think we can achieve a lot by identifying what unifies us as a nation. It is almost impossible for citizens of a badly led nation not to know their few good guys. If you think about it, Dalover's gaffe eloquently illustrates the problem with Nigeria. We are simply too bigoted, divided and sentimental to note that the best nations stand as they do today because the majority always support those who they deem to be acknowledged good guys wherever they are from. Dalover's excuse for not knowing a distinguished Nigerian like Nuhu Ribadu is simply pathetic. How about I tell you , even as I am not south-African, I forgot who Mandela is? Dalover has no excuse , if a neutral Nigerian who respects our most patriotic and important men, for confusing El Rufai with Ribadu.

Look, just change you ways. Prejudice is never a good thing. If you were a Nigerian predisposed to seeing good Nigerians, wherever they come from , you will never be ignorant of Ribadu to the extent you can ignorantly confuse him with El Rufai. These guys are distinguished and individual Nigerians for god sake!! They have had different histories, portfolios and impact. How can you confuse them if a Nigerian who belives goodness and evil is found in all corners of Nigeria? You should look at yourself and admit you have a problem.

Brainless, bigoted and clannish fool. Who does not know the name of Nuhu Ribadu except for a hateful m0r0n like you? You should be ashamed of yourself. If one of the most memorably important men in recent Nigerian history is not known to you, does that not confirm you are a m0r0n and/or a bigot? What more is needed to confirm you live in a bigoted world where Nigeria , for you, only involves being aware about your kinsmen and not all Nigerians especially those no Nigerian can forget because of the impact they have made on national life. Silly bigot. What an unbelievable twit.

I will be around in a few weeks. Let us meet up and we can brainstorm on a current idea of mine you might be of immense help with.

As per current state of affairs, don't let the over-personal attacks of some get to you. You have done what you have to do and some fools can jubilate as if they have just won the lottery. That just shows how sad these sort of people are. Those fools have no life beyond Nairaland and are likely losers in reality hence their desire to always make a mountain of the smallest mole hill here and join issues with everything/everyone. The political section you moderated ,in the grand scheme of things, is essentially a blog meant to provide a platform for Nigerians to discuss the politics of their nation. Politics is pivotally important for all Nations - especially more so for Nigeria that is very badly led.

Nigerians on this forum essentially remain ignorant of that concept and instead many come here to turn issues into a personal war with mods, ethnic groups, other forumers and to make their use of Nairaland totally about carrying around enduring hatred for others from one thread to another. You can hardly win in such an arena as a forumer talk less of when you are given the job of moderation these 'troubled' people with issues. You did your best and you now have the invaluable freedom of being able to express your opinion as a member. Not a bad deal in my opinion for anyone who has a life beyond this forum.

Wishing you a happy and fulfilled 2013.

Many hate others routinely merely because they assume criticism of GEJ is criticism of their 'brother' rather than the criticism of a man who is president to all of us. That is how clannish some fools are. Their tag of "hater" , for example, is laughable because some of these losers and simpletons simply don't know who they are talking to. There are many successful, secure and gifted folks here on this forum who criticise GEJ for no other reason than his inept, ultra-profligate, corrupt and visionless leadership of their beloved nation. Not everyone is talentless to the extent sycophancy and azzlicking is the only way they know to make a living or be successful in life.

HNosegbe: Whether or not he is responsible for the posters, two things are clear:

1. Jonathan will run in 2015 (his body language suggests so).

2. We will vote him out.
My brother, point two rests on GEJ being able to run in the first place. For those who are unemotional about these issues, GEJ being the PDP 2015 candidate is not a foregone conclusion. let GEJ even secure the PDP ticket before his sycophantic minions begin making noise. He may get the treatment he dished out to Sylva because the PDP is an opportunistic Party. It is a Party that capitalises on the mood of Nigerians to retain power at the centre.

At some stage, it will become clear they will lose it all persevering with a very unpopular President. Much as some adults are unwilling to face reality, and prefer attacking perceived enemies, me and you did not make GEJ the most cursed President in the world. We are not the ones who eroded the enormous goodwill he enjoyed as a newly sworn in President with a 4 year mandate. We did not pay a Ghanaian economist to lament GEJ's leadership. It is GEJ's abject performance that caused that those thing and childish supporters should wake up and acknowledge that fact, think of nation before petty and parochial considerations, and refrain from going around in sycophancy and yobbery.

Instead of GEJ performing and automatically securing support for future ambition, we will all have the displeasure of having to watch things done in an upside down manner by a nation that deliberately plans to sabotage itself.

You lazy lot must get out of Nigeria before you can claim our sovereign resources as yours alone. The fact we are talking about now is that your champion is a dummy.
My brother, this is why I made this statement earlier :
Our is a nation that may yet fail because of one consideration. Many have not learnt and are not interested in learning to put their nation first. Allegiance, overwhelmingly and inflexibly, is to "brothers", ethnic group, religion, geo-political zone, region etc, etc.
It is only lazy thinkers and intellectual cretins,without an awareness of what nationhood entails, who would suggest that some citizens have more entitlement than others over resources found within the borders of a nation. That is crass clannishness and a display of crudeness overcoming education, basic reasoning and the notion of man respecting legality. It is by the same token some have ethnicised the Presidency to the extent they talk about "haters" et al without wishing to acknowledge the bona fide right of all Nigerians to express dissatisfaction with their grossly ineffective President.

All those with the regressive "we own the oil and can dictate to others" mentality or "our Ijaw/SS/SE President is beyond the criticism of Yorubas and Hausa/fulanis" should first seek to get out of Nigeria before they start ridiculing our nation with their embarrassing lack of political sophistication. What we have , like it or not, is what we have and folks need to respect that instead of talking like children and fantasists who have zero appreciation of reality.

Then Mrs Oluremi would be drafted into the governorship race. I predict that the PDP would make it a very close race, due to their recent victories in some LG elections. However, in the end, Senator Oluremi Tinubu will take the Governor's oath of office come May 29, 2015 to become the first elected female Governor in Nigeria. Of course, this all depends in part to whether Oluremi expresses interest in the race.
Where are you getting all this from? You are way off target. Forget Fashola running for the senate or Remi Tinubu becoming Governor. Those are simply your own thinking and nowhere near what is factually possible or even on the mind of influential stakeholders.

omowolewa: No matter how fast GEJ moves, the speed of corruption is directly proportional to the speed of his Administration (if not more).

Except if the so call speed is about value delivery. if its about budget implementation, just forget it.

Because immediately government pays 10% mobilisation fee on contracts, it has achieved 10% budget implementation while value delivery is 0%. Talkless of the fact that other 90% will be used on corruption, kick-backs/PR and other 'Nigerian factor things'. Leaving 45% of the budget for value delivery.

Oga GEJ,its better you kill corruption first before it kills your administration.
How can this happen? As an example, did the entire world not see GEJ set up the Ribadu Petroleum task force? With all that happened, is it now not crystal clear GEJ intended to deceive Nigerians and give his lifetime love (corruption) 'more breathing space'? Did we not see GEJ, his 'wife' (Allison-Madueke) and minions (Otti, Orasanye) deliberately sabotage the work of Ribadu to ensure all suggestions of the committee headed straight for the waste bin?

In nations where people see clearly, are not brainwashed and don't fool themselves, it would be accepted unanimously that GEJ = corruption and corruption = GEJ. I don't know why we don't accept the obvious in Nigeria with our demand that two lovers totally committed to each other should split.

Jonathan’s 2015 campaign posters flood Abuja
on JANUARY 2, 2013 · in NEWS
12:40 am

By Soni Daniel, Regional Editor, North


https://vml1.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/GEJ-posters.jpg?cb5e28

ABUJA—Giant campaign posters, announcing President Goodluck Jonathan’s readiness to contest the 2015 presidential election, greeted Nigerians in Abuja, the nation’s capital, as they woke up to savour the dawn of the New Year.

The all-glossy posters, which were strategically posted in the high brow areas of the Federal Capital Territory, did not however indicate the source or the sponsor of the advertisement.

The launch of the campaign materials contradicts the President’s claim that he has not yet decided on the 2015 poll but concentrating effort on transforming Nigeria in line with his manifesto to give the people a ‘fresh air’.

It was not clear why the sponsors of the message decided to put it out on the first day of the new year but a source familiar with the message pointed out that it was to send a strong message to the opposition that Jonathan was serious about contesting in 2015 and to test the reactions of the Nigerians.

The campaign posters have been spread across the major areas of ECOWAS, Peoples Democratic Party Secretariat in Wuse 5, and the Central Business District, where major government offices are situated.

One of the posters, which had President Goodluck Jonathan’s portrait read, 2015: No vacancy in Aso Rock. Let’s do more. One good term deserves another. Support Dr. Goodluck Azikiwe Jonathan for 2015 Presidency.

Presidency disowns posters

When contacted the Political Adviser to the President, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak disowned the posters saying that they did not emanate from the presidency and that “the president has not authorised anybody to print any campaign poster for him as regards 2015 elections”.

He declared that the president has been “pre-occupied with working to fix Nigeria and did not want to be distracted by undue politicking about 2015”.

The presidential aide further said that the pasting of the posters could be the work of mischief makers who want to deceive Nigerians.

However, in an exclusive interview with Vanguard last month, Okupe had said that when the time was ripe his boss would respond to the issue of 2015, insisting that Mr. President was preoccupied with fixing Nigeria’s problems at the moment.

Okupe pointed out that it was wrong for some Nigerians to try to distract the President from fulfilling his electioneering promises to the nation by bringing up the issue of 2015 presidency.

The aide, however, said the wonderful performance of Jonathan at the end of the tenure would make most Nigerians to compel him to run in 2015.

“Nigerians ‘ll want him to run”

Okupe had said: “I am very certain in my mind that Nigerians are going to applaud him and even if he does not want to run for election, Nigerians are going to force him to run again because of the level of performance.

“Only God and the people of Nigeria will decide what will happen in 2015. But I think what is uppermost in the President’s mind is to solve the basic needs of Nigerians by improving power, infrastructure, roads and check insecurity in the land.

“When he achieves all these, Nigerians will decide what to do with him. In fact, when we get to the bridge we will learn how to cross it. That is what I can say about 2015 for now.”

The poster, it was gathered, was printed by political hawks close to the Presidency in light of recent claims by the opposition to forge an alliance to chase out Jonathan in 2015, coupled with the warning by the Niger Delta former militant leader, Asari Dokubo, to Jonathan not to run in the next election because of poor outing so far.
PoliticsRe: We Will Move Very Fast This Year- Jonathan by Gbawe:
Nigerians never fail to surprise me with the levels of lack of ambition and perseverance with mediocrity they show that must now be very unique to us in the comity of nations. As an example, only recently, the Ribadu report was thrown in the bin disgracefully and theatrically, in front of the entire world, without much protest from Nigerians. That was direct evidence your President wants the status quo to remain in the all-important petroleum sector.

Instead of noting what needed to be seen, as responsible citizens, many even defended this ultra-corrupt President and his Petroleum Minister who committed procedurally unacceptable offences that would have seen her sacked on the spot elsewhere. Nothing came of that yet we are here discussing the 'go faster stripes' Mr.President says he has taken delivery of. 'Goodluck' to Nigeria in 2013. You will get this same speech January next near and your responses will be the same as a people who never tire of empty and unfulfilled promises and simply do not seem interested in holding leaders to account or booting them out when they fall way below acceptable standards.
PoliticsRe: Jonathan Asks If Violence A Sign Of ‘end Times’ by Gbawe:
Meristem: This man is a simpleton, a misfit and sorry...this is 2013! I should rather pray for him!!!
This is the bottom line. Those holding brief for GEJ are also equally weak-minded because they simply have no appreciation of what obtains elsewhere, as a minimum standard , in this day and age. Yet we are talking about the biggest black nation on earth that should ordinarily and automatically display an intelligent, charismatic and analytical solutions-provider as an inspirational example of what a black African can be and can achieve. It is not rocket science. if processes are correct, not warped and as purist as obtains worldwide then our President , even as we know he is flesh and blood, would reflect this by having special qualities that justifies why he is the apex leader of the largest number of black folks on earth.

Yet we are never ashamed that instead we get a very, very,very mediocre man, with very poor skills that makes one doubt his purported training. Many of us cannot even respect him because of his bumbling ineptitude that is so elementary one would not expect to find a child displaying such!!! Yet we have unambitious, bigoted and politically gauche cretins always compelled to make excuses for what serious nations, with politically sophisticated folks, would unanimously turn their backs on as a gross failing of leadership.

I pity Nigeria with how it is a nation intrinsically contrived to keep itself down. We even see it here on Nairaland with how some cursed folks argue on behalf of what would not be entertained elsewhere and would compel all citizens , whatever their leanings, to unanimously say in unison "enough is enough".

Our is a nation that may yet fail because of one consideration. Many have not learnt and are not interested in learning to put their nation first. Allegiance, overwhelmingly and inflexibly, is to "brothers", ethnic group, religion, geo-political zone, region etc, etc. It is what brainwashes many to defend what must not be defended to the extent of the crazy talk we witness here I never see citizens of other Nations guilty of.

Eziachi: Thanks for the lecture on insurgency, probably you think Nairaland is made of children from Jankara market nursery school. Boko Haram style of events are not completely new in Nigeria.
In the 80s there was one like it in Borno and within 2 weeks Buhari's govt put them to bed for ever. Buhari was there in person conducting things, personally reassuring the running victims, especially the Igbo business community, but in Jonathan's case, more than a year later, he thinks Borno is to hot for him to visit even by flying over it.
What is end time is finding a person of his character/intellect at the helm of leadership of any nation, especially a complex one like Nigeriana.
Oga Eziachi, long time. As you are one of the few Nairalanders worthy of the respect of all, I wish you a happy new year. keep being you because it is your kind who add true value to this forum as truly wise men.

He should abandon talking publicly the same way he ran away from the presidential debate. Nigerians should hope that one day, they'll be free from the ineptitude of this guy.
We are not going to be "free" of anything as long as ethnic/religious/sectional bias and sentiments remain a factor in how Nigerians make decisions. My brother, think about it yourself. How many Nations of the world do you know where citizens are sentimental to the extent they would ignore the very mediocre history of a candidate, that screams "future failure" , and insist on voting for him merely because they resent the ethnicity, region of origin and religion of the other candidates who are a million times better?

Inspected logically, factually and without sentiments, nothing, I repeat nothing, indicated GEJ would even be average let alone effective. If anything, his history showed a man primed to fail and "underwhelm" as we are seeing now. Yet Nigerians, confirming my suspicion they are among the least politically sophisticated in the world, trooped to the polling station to cast their vote for a self-confessed mediocrity. While PDP remains powerful, simpletons and 'business-as-usual' stooges is all they will ever supply. "Boy with no shoe" propaganda, plus appeals to the sentimental and biased nature of Nigerians, will do the rest.

@OP

You are wasting your time. One thing many simply don't understand is that it is the worst losers, from all ethnic groups, who make their way to this forum because they love all the ethnic wars, finger-pointing and hollow noise of ethnic superiority that makes them feel better about their personal lives which is probably pathetic. Those people are not here for ethnic harmony.

They are here to fight each other and carry on whatever vendetta or 'unfinished business' plagues their hateful and malevolent souls. Those sort , perhaps frustrated and unfulfilled in reality, blame and want to remain blaming other ethnic groups for their woes. Good luck trying to foster peace between those sort of losers. Better yet, learn to ignore them and their repetitively childish and inane gibberish.

I dey laugh. Nigerians ,mentally stuck in the dark ages, went ahead to pander to bias and vote a total mediocrity into a very important job needing a high degree of analytical/innovative thinking and problem solving ability. Now they are seeking 'achievements' like a person expecting water to come from a stone. Funny people who simply remain too sentimental to accept GEJ cannot give what he does not have.
