Scatterboss: Don't pay attention to that charlatan. He knows nothing and tries to guess as he goes along. Amosun is an underground gangster. I won't mention names but those who know Ogun politics will know how many 'enemies' Amosun has 'wasted' to be where he is today. The forces that congregated against him was no joke. It included people who staked their political future to take Amosun down by leaving the APC to join the Osoba SDP brigandage against the Ogun State Governor yet they have serious regrets today because they have realised that Osoba is nothing but a bitter, disgruntled, frustrated, dishonourable and very dishonest old man. Some of these guys, underground, are even trying to now come back to the APC after Osoba used, extorted and dumped them. We all know the OP is an uninformed joker and the gullible children here can entertain his ego but every informed Nairalander knows he is someone with no credibility or useful knowledge about anything let alone SW politics which is a very complex 'smorgasbord' of permanent interests. 5 Likes |

SirShymexx: You are one of the few posters here I like and respect. This is the only reason I am even responding. I have absolutely no interest in contributing my opinion on any thread started by this OP. Doing so is like a father with young children having to 'hang out' with a hardened and unrepentant paedophile. The OP, as you know now, is a totally disgusting human being any decent and morally upright person , whether APC or PDP, will avoid. Suffice to say, as is the case with unprincipled mercenaries like FFK, OP is delusional attempting to speak for the SW. I can tell you all that majority of average Yorubas do not have a single reason to vote for GEJ. Not one and they are determined to resist and reject him. People can believe me if they want or not but I can authoritatively state here that it is the overwhelming defeat GEJ was facing in the SW that necessitated the much-condemned election postponement. They wanted to try and use the 7 extra weeks to buy every opinion leader in the SW to help them deliver a GEJ win. It is not working so far and GEJ is on a 'long thing'. "Maga don come" things. Anyone giving credibility to the analysis of the hungry OP is simply naive. OP is a discredited character who works on 'guestimates' while trying to be the insider he will never be. He is the same character who started panicking here about Buhari losing the APC primaries because info was put in the public domain, by PDP desperados, that Atiku had successfully out-bribed all others and was on course to defeat Buhari. Him and others will confess I told them it was all hogwash. I was privy to information that made me realise Buhari would win overwhelmingly because the SW 'big boys' were working for him and would not entertain any derailment of their 'mission'. I told them this but many did not believe me. Yet we all know what happened. It is the same with the upcoming election never mind the delusions of GEJ and his crew. Similarly, as I predicted the outcome of the APC presidential Primaries and Lagos guber primaries, I am saying here and now that GEJ will not win in the SW if elections are free and fair. On the contrary, the people of the region will disgrace him and the PDP. I can't speak about some things publicly but I will tell you that the PDP, because it is a Party of desperate men and women scared about their future, is operating on 'dutch courage' and pretence bravado. The underground truth is that the APC is not talking much but the Party is fully ready, on all fronts, to counter and overcome the PDP. Who is Gani Adams , Fasehun, FFK, Obanikoro et al? Is it because the Yoruba heavyweight are silent that makes the 'omo ales' think they now run the show? Those who matter in Yoruba land know what they have to do. I will leave it at that. The wise and experienced heads here should ask themselves why Lagos did not fall into PDP hands even under the uber-bully OBJ was. Therein lies the clue to the omerta-style code that will play out to leave the PDP stunned. Imagine silly TANdroid children who are not from the SW pinning their hopes on loquacious, turncoat and desperate opportunists like Fayose, Obanikoro, FFK, Adams et al when the real self-made leaders of the region, that the people respect and obey , have already passed on the message about what must happen.

yemaldo: Thank you. The truth, even if such is not the case with Nigeria, is that most men and women worldwide get into politics with the hope of making a positive difference to the lives of their people. How should these leaders worldwide react to Jonathan whose actions show he is happy to sacrifice and let down those he should be protecting and serving ? It is not rocket science to deduce why other genuinely committed leaders would despise GEJ passionately as is the case universally today. GEJ fans might bury their heads in the sand and lie to themselves but the reality is that Jonathan is a disgrace to leaedership other passionate and driven leaders throughout the world would consider an aberration to be avoided and resisted. No decent leader will be interested in helping Jonathan because he has committed the ultimate crime of deliberately assisting the spilling of the blood of his own people for selfish reasons. That is something many world leaders cannot look beyond and this now shows in how they talk about and deal with GEJ. For example, Jonathan's response to the Chibok kidnapping shocked the whole world. Other leaders could barely hide their disdain for a leader happy to play politics with the lives and wellbeing of ovef 250 innocent young girls . Overall, even the world beyond Nigeria want GEJ gone because he is a ghastly and unfortunate accident , masquerading as a leader, many now want to forget. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Samunique: What discrimination are you talking about? You think the entire world cannot see how religiously divisive, manipulative and destructively machiavellian GEJ is ? This is really not a Muslim or Christian issue per se. Even leaders of so-called majority Christian Nations , like the USA and the UK, steer clear of GEJ and openly disapprove of him. Whether you wish to see it , let alone admit it, the reality is that the peers of GEJ, i.e his fellow world leaders, really hate how he uses religion, and pretty much everything he can, to divide and destroy his own people for the sake of political gains. No upright leader truly concerned about those he/she leads, whether Muslim or Christian, will want to align with such a character. Most world leaders, whatever their religion, are even struggling to try and contain their disdain for GEJ. That is how terrible he is a leader. They have seen him completely content to watch thousands die needlessly for 5 years only to now be mounting an 'onslaught' against terror when he is facing election defeat . Also, you should understand that that leaders worldwide have access to intelligence that you do not which makes them fully aware of what GEJ is and how he has no issues sacrificing his own people as 'collateral damage'for his political ambition. You can deceive yourself this is a Muslim V Christian issue but that only confirms the argument that majority of GEJ supporters are religiously biased and ethnocentric characters who blame everything on religion and ethnicity without any interest in seeing the many documented wrongdoing of GEJ that has now made him a highly despised leader other world leader have only disdain for and wish to avoid at all cost. |

Do you GEJ fans on this thread all have comprehension 'issues' or is it that you guys are just too shameless to the point you do not even know when to remain silent? Must you guys defend what even a mad man will reject? Did you charlatans all see the part below that indicts GEJ of political desperation? The GEJ Presidency is one led by immoral folks and backed blindly by immoral supporters also. How is the part in bold below different to how GEJ cynically allowed many Nigerians to die over 5 years only to now be mounting a battle against Boko Haram when his own private ambition of remaining President is under threat? Is there anything our Army are doing now they could not have done years ago to save the over 15,000.00 Nigerians that Boko Haram has slaughtered? As the APC concluded , GEJ is "wicked" and so also his depraved, morally bankrupt, callous and totally shameless supporters. The man has been in power for five years and he has never had an exchange with the Moroccan king, the source said, insisting that Morocco wants to avoid that an exchange with the presidential candidate be exploited politically, especially vis-à-vis the Muslim majority of Northern Nigeria. 6 Likes |

Any Nigerian not into self-deceit, and capable of putting two and two together to make 4, will know that this article even errs on the conservative side. Nigeria is so messed-up that it is only an ascetic, feared and disciplined leader , truly and completely on the side of ordinary folks like Buhari, who can save her. Those who simply want a better Nigeria and are not sentimental, ethnocentric, vengeful, prejudiced, 'paid' and clannish know that Jonathan caused all our problem even as he operated as the wealthiest and most financially-empowered President in Nigeria's history for 5 years with oil selling at $100.00-$110.00 per barrel. How can Jonathan now be the solution with oil price stuck at around $50.00 per barrel? How can a hideously corrupt, weak, profligate, callous, pro-elite, oligarchy-empowering and morally-bankrupt President manage a period that is going to require ground-shaking reforms and uncompromising pro-people cost-cutting that will hurt the elite and political class seriously to the benefit of the ordinary Nigerian? Has Jonathan not always being 100% about empowering the private-jet Oligarchy? How can this dangerous and anti-people accidental President be the way forward given all he has done wrong and the seriously decimated income Nigeria now has to work with because of falling international oil price? Why should Nigeria be in a position of oil-related vulnerability if not that the ultra-corrupt, scamming, irresponsible and profligate GEJ failed to diversify our economy adequately over the 5 years he has been in charge? Do some simpleton think intelligent analysts and financial speculators will be fooled by all the m0r0nic and childish propaganda emanating from the GEJ government? The truth is that Nigeria is in serious trouble GEJ and other PDP Presidents before him caused. GEJ , if decent , will step down so that someone with the talent and passion to work for ordinary Nigerians uncompromisingly can rescue our nation before she collapses totally. 11 Likes 1 Share |

This is what some of us mean when we say the value system of many Nigerians has been bastardized by the amoral and shameless PDP. Some Nigerian are now comfortable being fed senseless lies only to then take to spreading those lies gleefully themselves. All because of the sentimental and clannish support they host for shameless and worthless leaders like GEJ. Nigerians can imagine the shame on our nation occasioned by a Presidency that claimed it spoke to the Moroccan King when such never happened. Does GEJ and his morally bankrupt team think other Nations are like Nigeria where lying by leaders is condoned and even encouraged? Shame on GEJ and the PDP. Always disgracing Nigeria. Our relationship with other nations is something the new APC Government will have to work hard to repair post May 2015 because of the huge damage the 5 years of GEJ has done to isolate Nigeria and make us a pariah nation . 1 Like |

“So, any recovery should not be a credit, but rather it shows that we should further condemn the administration for treating such a serious issue with kid gloves. President Jonathan and his managers escalated the war.” This is the bottom line conclusion any balanced adult cannot avoid. It is up to Nigerians to decide if they want to give their vote to a man who only acts when his political interest is threatened and was very happy, for 5 years, to watch Nigerians die because he did not care to do back then what he is now hastily doing today all in the hope of deceiving Nigerians to vote for him at the last minute after he failed them time and time again when it mattered most. I can tell this forum that in sane nations, with an active and upright legislature, GEJ would even have been impeached and jailed for treason, gross corruption and dereliction of duty which led to the loss of over 15,000.00 innocent lives. To me GEJ is a war criminal like Charles Taylor, Samuel Doe et al. The problem is that many Nigerians remain too sentimental to note this. 2 Likes |

Even in 2007 OBJ, to plant his two stooges in power (Yar Adua and GEJ) used his Presidency to conduct elections that foreign observers labelled "the worst they had ever seen anywhere in the world". You do not know my views about OBJ, to the extent you think I support him by default since I am Yoruba, because I have no time to talk about him any more.

Jonathan needs to go, same as I was happy to see OBJ leave, because this is about 170 million people and their need for good leadership. Jonathan is failing like OBJ because they are both cut from the same PDP cloth and ideology which is anti-people. There are things that can be done today that will instantly revolutionise the lives of ordinary Nigerians yet those things will never be done because anti-people leaders like GEJ and OBJ will always work to an elitist script which means they will never side with the people.

They now have the right to vote him out for letting them down without people like you saying what you do below. Simply look at how the Yorubas voted in 2011 and you will see it is mainly about performance for the people of the SW. Let me ask you this question - and I want your honest answer. Are you happy with your existence in Nigeria? Are you happy having to privately and massively pay for your own water, security, electricity, healthcare et al when others worldwide take these basics for granted as dividends of democracy? No one has told you that GEJ caused all our problems. What is clear is that he does not have the solutions. He has only taken Nigeria backwards. If an ambitious Nigerian, wanting the dignity others enjoy worldwide, then you will see that we have no option but to try 'change'. the simple reason why people like you in southwest won't vote Gej is because yorubas are marginalized in his government and osinbajo is a Yoruba |

The SW is a region that will judge Jonathan on his record. With the abysmal performance of GEJ in the past 5 years how can he then win in the SW? Mimiko and other 'hungry' Yorubas are simply deceiving GEJ. To include even those not from the SW, I think the entire Nigeria knows the truth about the region which is that its people will always 100% vote out leadership failure in free and fair elections. The elections of 2011 is a factual testimony to this with the PDP voted out across the region because of the poor performance of the Party over years it was in power in SW States. Any Nigerian not into self-deceit will accept that Jonathan will not win in the SW. The Yorubas have no reason to vote for him because doing such is gaining "more of the same" of what they have endured for 5 years under GEJ.

This is why this test run was conducted . Same way students take part in mock exams to note their deficiency and preparedness for the main exam. Of course the process should not be facing these issues as INEC has had years to prepare for this election and this really is sheer incompetence but that is an issue for another day and time. INEC should now do all in its power to make this election free, fair and as 'unriggable' as possible. As for your fears, I believe the APC is very prepared for the PDP and will win come what may. One thing against the PDP that is very important, yet the fans of the Party do not account for or understand, is that the political system of leadership and association, both home and abroad, does not want GEJ to carry on as President.

@Topic. My view is that , ultimately, Nigeria has to help herself and our Government has simply not done that enough in relation to Boko Haram. Of course the USA is self-serving and hypocritical but which nation of the world is not? The problem, as shown even by our discussion here, is that Africans are too sentimental and place all emphasis on feeling sorry for themselves and talking as if others owe them solutions while whining like victims instead of learning to play the game and taking responsibility for their own progress. For example, The first outbreak of Ebola was in Sudan in 1976. The second major outbreak began in the Democratic republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) in 1995. Did Africans, the primary victims, learn from those outbreaks? Did we understand that we must try to produce a vaccine against this deadly disease capable of decimating large swathes of Africa if unchecked? Big NO !!! While we shirked our responsibilities like little kids and deferred our duties of developing a vaccine, Ebola has now returned devastatingly and all that irresponsible Africans can do is to blame the USA for not providing us with an experimental drug that does not even have FDA approval and takes ages to produce a small dose meaning the USA had to control 'stock' for when her own citizens may need such. That is how we Africans do things. We never take responsibility for our own problem and do not believe that charity begins at home enough to begin sincerely seeking African solutions for African problems. We must always blame others for our woes. Similarly with our current terror predicament, we saw the Nigerian government make a complete mess of the Boko Haram issue because of politics of self-preservation and self-interest. Should we not be ashamed, when we are the victims, to now put everything at the door of the USA? How some have turned this conversation into a discussion focusing on the 'hypocrisy' of the USA , without looking at the deficiencies of our own leaders, is the perfect display of the irresponsible egotism of Africans that leaves us fiddling while the house burns down. Sometimes when I see the way Nigerians vehemently curse the USA, UK et al, in relation to our own self-created woes, I am reminded of how we have a long way to go in understanding that there is no free lunch in lif and that we must, above others, take responsibility for finding solutions to our own problems. Nigeria can defeat Boko Haram alone, without US or foreign help, if we are led by sincere men and women who truly value the lives and well-being of their people. As simple as that. |

CyberTerrorist: Have you seen me argue here that the USA is a human rights champion or human rights 'Police' of the world? Frankly I don't hold such views. George Bush, for example, is a war criminal in my opinion. I was an active blogger before the period leading to the Iraq war and I wrote passionately about WMD (weapons of mass destruction) being just an excuse for Bush and Blair, post 9/11, to criminally invade Iraq and topple a figurehead proponent (Saddam ) of the "axis of evil". Read what I wrote again and you will see I make it clear that the issue of the USA failing to help Nigeria goes beyond the consideration of human rights abuse alone. The USA has always being able to 'live with' human rights abuse and 'collateral damage' if such is in her interest. Read below to see that the real issue is that the USA is not keen, any time soon, to help Boko Haram become the ISIS of West Africa. This is the real reason the USA will not be supplying Nigeria with powerful weapons. You guys, instead of just being emotional and angry, should follow events closer and view issues dispassionately.

@OP. It is not simply about Human rights abuse and I think you know this. There is a copious amount of information out there which reveals why the USA remain worried about helping our government in any shape or form. One of the most important reason the USA will not assist Nigeria is that a lot of information and actual occurrences show them that the Nigerian Government, under Jonathan, is not sincere about tackling Boko Haram. There is the real and entirely justified fear that supplying the Nigerian army with serious fire-power may simply amount to arming Boko Haram and promoting the course of terror. Let us stop pretending and patronising ourselves with these simplistic and self-deceiving discussions. The entire world know that it is politicians in the current government, as GEJ confessed, sponsoring Boko Haram while Commanders in our Army secretly abet the terror group.
