With all due respect ma'am y is it growing @ a snails paste. Why isn't it moving @ d same speed as the money spent on all dese projects, let give u benefit of doubt that u have give 1.6million job, how much was spent to achieve this? My opinion, Give each of the 1.6million candidate N1million each wuld have bin cheaper than all these projects. U don't spend (hypothetical) N600billion just to get 1.6million people jobs and still say it slow, so by d tym we hit the targeted number of employment almost halve of tax payers money will disappear.

Ladies and Gentlemen this is Nigerian Churches where Politicians use freely to spread dere usual political lies. This is d place we call place of worship, these are men we call "Men of God" they have turned the house of God n giving it to d Highest bidder. I will always say dis, RELIGION has brought more evil dan good in Nigeria. Soon dat pastor or Rev will own his own Private Jet and over nyt the governor will be "a God sent"

Choi baba God don suffer. I blame dis on dem ass*holes called "Men of gods". d same way his wifey said she died n 7 day later rose from dead n thanks to this evil called religion am suppose to believe her. Remember even OBJ said God told him to be President (during his 2nd n 3rd term campaign) during d sametime the same god told Okotia to be president, now em don come again soon this dere god will be telling APC no its dem dat shuld rule.

In a few days it will be 2014 APC needs to settle the state section, u can't give total control out like dat, it will only cause bad blood within the party. They need to look for other ways to compensate either the decampees or the already established management. But b4 dey decide dey shuld kn dat these management play a very vital roll in d eventual success/failure of APC, choice wisely. They have entered 1 chance d very day dey accepted d PDP crew into dere company, bet dey never planned for it. U people will be busy fighting internal battle for the next 10month will GEJ will be smiling to d bank. This distractions are wat is making APC miss vital strategic battle points, dey shuld allow old management continue and find another way of compensating d decampee.

Keneking: So here is my shortlist in no particular order for APC: Fashola, Tambuwal, Marwa, Amaechi, Buhari, Kwankwaso, Rochas, Aliyu (in case he becomes a permanent member), Atiku

Versus

PDP: Jonathan & Sambo

Likely hypothesis: Jonathan/ Sambo vs Fashola/ Tambuwal - excellent (a1)
Jonathan/ Sambo vs Amaechi/ Tambuwal - excellent ( b1)
Jonathan / Sambo vs Buhari / Fashola - excellent ( c1)
Jonathan/ Sambo vs Aliyu / Fashola - excellent ( d1)
Jonathan / Sambo vs Atiku / Fashola - excellent ( e1)
Jonathan / Sambo vs Fashola / Rochas - v good ( f1)
Jonathan / Sambo vs Marwa/ Fashola - v good (g1)
Jonathan / Sambo vs Kwankwaso/ Amaechi - v good (h1)
Jonathan / Sambo vs Buhari / Amaechi - v good ( i1)
Jonathan / Sambo vs Atiku / Amaechi - v good ( j1)

Here is my submission: Suppose, Fashola doesn't make the pairing for presidency, the Senate shall be reserved for him. In case, Tambuwal also does not make the nominations, the House of Reps shall be there for him. Overall, if both Fashola and Tambuwal head the leadership of both houses in 2015, even if Jonathan wins, chances are that his administration might not survive. All efforts shall be made for h1 to occur for APC to win.

I like ur hypothesis, but u shuld kn this is Nigerian Politics where Religion plays a very big role n a criteria for Presidential election. Puttin Muslim/Muslim or Christian/Christian candidate will not fly in Nigerian including does from d same region as d candidates. It just can't work. APC will need to sit down and talk, they have tried to hard to avoid "the talk" but dey have to. It has to be either a Christian/Muslim candidate or a Muslim/Christian Candidate b4 region.

Peinstein: I will go with Tambuwal/Fashola. Fashola would pull the votes from southwest which is the zone with the second largest voting bloc while Tambuwal secure the northwest and majority of the northeast vote. Middlebelt would be 50:50 between PDP and APC, while PDP would control southeast and majority of south-south.

I like Tambuwal because he plays the role of the speaker more intelligently than Mark does as senate president. Even if Tambuwal contests as president under PDP, I would still be tempted to vote for him. He seems to put his. position ahead of that of his party and that is what we need for development

Muslim-muslim ticket doesn't matter to me; Fashola's liberal nature in religion is well known though I can't say same for Tambuwal since I don't know his islamic orientation; he seems liberal though. I would have preferred a christian/Muslim combination; but religion doesn't pay bills nor does it put food on my table, and voting a muslim/muslim doesn't stop me from being a christian.

It's all speculation though; this is Nigeria.

That's what u fink but bro believe it or nt religion will always play a big role in presidential elections, if dey put Muslim/Muslim its not going to flow well with the christians which is 60% of the population, Not because the two candidate aint good enough it just how our politics go. If they go with Kwankwaso/Ameachi the SW will not support it cos Fashola has already bin pencilled in as VP, if they decide to go for Fashola/Ameachi den say bye to the North. The solution with this is for a level playing field be arranged so all stakeholders in the party agree 100% on a candidate under the Muslim-Christian system. Or all dis there propaganda against GEJ will be another "Tales by Moonlight"

D good news is dat thanks to GEJ ordinary Nigerians are now involved in politics and now see the writings too. APC will have to bring a better candidate come 2015 or all dis dere propaganda go all be wash.

Dis is Nigeria, a country dat believes that uses insults to prove a point. GEJ has defiantly change d way tins are don that's y they result to name calling rather than smart words. GEJ is doin sometin ryt c how grown men and women talk like people on crystal Meth. In a world were technology has changed the way we view thing APC still settle for mere "amebo" than fact. GEJ talked, GEJ did not talk. Very soon APC will only be listened to by bored housewives just like Nollywood.

ilugunboy:

Fear God....

Stop blatant lie....

This is purely an Igbo-centered govt.

Please culd u elaborate how GEJ is running an igbo centred government. Am from d North so am curious.

Is the whole of SW actually in d hands of APC? Please could a brilliant mind do d maths for me. Cos APC is only strong in d National level, but go into d states n LGA and refresh. PDP wuld rather see LP win dem state dan give it to APC. Dey did it wif APGA.

luvable sam: Generally our leaders are clueless as to How to make money or even rule....wonder what would av happened if states had no FG to fall back on n oil was non-existent..

Dude dey not clueless, they know exactly what dey doing, Ameachi even said it "we loot cos the people refuse to stone us for it". OBJ also said it "Nigeria is a country where the smart 1s bow to the st*upid 1s". they are not clueless just not buvvard!

Orlando Owoh: Only God knows how long we shall be a laughing stock because of this man. Imagine him say, "Nigeria belonged to statesmen, traditional rulers, religious leaders, men, women and youths." So ordinary Nigerians are nobody in Nigeria.
Each time this man enters any church rather than focus on worshiping his creator, he begins to speak on politics that he knows only little about.

Haba! Seriously! Dude! Read ur statement again n modify, cos u sounding ridiculous. And dis tym u shuld kn dat Men, women and youth are d "Ordinary Nigerians" even the statesmen, Religious leaders and Traditional leaders. So which "Ordinary Nigerians" are u on about? D we have "Ordinary Nigerians" who aint Men, women and youth, abeg make I kn oh!

That wuld hav bin my next move, even if it means them falsifying the result, then OBJ nxt, dis tym I'll carry out d investigation den APC n PDP politicians. But will put more people on APC (aint personal, just politics). Then SNC , then remove total FG control and give start power.

Gistben: Mmmmm, naija, God safe us from the hands of these wicked men. Amen

U do know God has giving us power to save ourselves, we sit here shakin cos APC n OBJ hug. Its time to stare d ship our way. We shuld not allow few men decide how dis country will be come 2015. For a country dat prays a lot una to fear. Its time for courage I don give a damn if APC hug devil, or PDP kiss am, that war will be brought to all of them. Amen!

Dude ur headline is f*uckin misleading, u say GEJ respond through proxy n den u said "the person never admitted he represented GEJ" so hw did u come to ur conclusion?. GEJ don't have to reply am Old f*ool like OBJ. Eventually dey will all consume each oda.

aventura:

No my friend, Nigerians are in trouble, because for the past eleven months, our commonwealth has been used for various demonic trips like this. People flying up and down with tax payer's money for their selfish interest. You see my friend, our interests are not represented in this political tussle. We are left at the mercy of our maker. You mustn't support any of these people because at the end of the day PDP and ACN are like 2 & 2 i.e one and thesame thing. Nigerians must come together and fight the enemy= politicians.

Its cos of smart correct pple like u dat make 1 still hav hope. Imagine! It has never bin about Nigerians or Nigeria just look @ how few old men have turned a country of 160million into dere private bank account we need to stop glorifying dem n fight for a bright future.

The NPF d is still heading so far cos of its nw a culture for them n not seen as corruption but donations/retirement fund to d st*upidity of d force. The corruption in the NPF is epic, passed by 1 30min ago, #100 has bin donated by me. Have u don urs?

Sad Sad Sad, politics @ its most primitive

steve_cantrell: A lot of people are calling this fake letter a low point for GEJ and his propaganda boys but I believe its a huge SUCCESS.

Just one useless letter has changed the entire discourse of the days preceding it. No one is talking about missing $50 billion or assasins-in-training anymore.

The diversionary tactic has worked !

Weather moni miss or assassins dey train Its all politics. The funny part is its not about Nigeria, its about themselves. GEJ has won both fronts the Sanusi letter hoopla n the OBJ letter. Its just the beginning eventually the will start killing them selves n GEJ will still "NOT GIVE A DAMN"

If I was GEJ dis will me my reply:

"my fellow Nigerian, its an honour to talk to u all today, so far I have been accused by the APC for stealing $49.8billion goin by d letter written by CBN governor Mr Sanusi, dey have even asked for me to be impeached. Also Mr Obasanjo wrote accusing letter say how I promote corruption. I have said it before and I'll say it again "I don't give a damn" the investigative team has proven how I have spent you money, Mr Sanusi has proven to be a good governor of CBN but unfortunately he has let himself be entangled with the wrong people rather than using his good works to prove himself. I refuse to allow selfish people to bring our country to its knees, I am proud to say that my administration has proven itself. I thank the good people of Nigeria for giving me the chance to redeem myself.
God bless the great people of Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria.

If I was ObJ I would be proud of my daughter, if she culd stand up to him den she will do really good in Nigerian politics when his gone. She need to be tough or these greedy men will want to ride her cos 1. Na obj daughter n cos na woman. Wow! Its really true what dey say women do change worlds "ask samson". Which man in politics fit talk to OBJ like dat? Even his sons can't.

Bro am happy for u dat u decided to leave d 10million n travel out of Nigeria, their is a saying dat goes "dem no dey tell blind person say *rain* dey fall" its good dat u are planning to leave please b4 u leave culd u tell me d name of dat organisation cos dey are bout to have a vacancy, n when u finally leave I wish say u get UK visa so royal mail, Mcdonald, KFC and burger king wuld have a new staff. Cos dats how much d UK/US value Africa "certificate". I get number of guys dat got tiered of Nigeria too and left dere correct job, I'll give u dere details so dey will tell u watin dey ground. Good luck on ur future endeavours.

Na wa for my people oh, its okey to judge n insult GEJ based on a letter by some old, left over, but its not okey to judge d left over a letter by his offspring who probably have an inside info. Shame!!!

Old men with children brain, making judgement based on abebo, and dey call him a kindergarten president. D irony.

ilugunboy: Who paid for this Audit Assurance report?

Its funny dat u fink dis whole audit thing is a sham but all allegations against GEJ is true even with the facts & figure as said other wise. GEJ has fu*ck up major but All these are nt his fu*ck ups. Its time for use as a people to deal with facts n a man shuld be proven innocent or guilty only when facts & figure are seen. If u ask dat lemme put dis out there too, who is sponsoring OBJ n sanusi? Since we keep assuming money has exchanged hands.

payless: GEJ brought this problem on himself. GEJ was given the mandate to do the right thing but he chose to play politics of division by diving the country along ethnic and religious lines. He has squandered the goodwill given to him after the death of Yar'Adua. GEJ is a green snake under the green grass.

Really! Culd u please explain to us in ur own words hw he did d Religious N Tribal things u accused him of. This way most of us will learn n join d crusade but u shall not use what u heard from any media, politician or word of mouth. I need a hands on explanation.
Thank you.

ballabriggs: Another crude attempt to digress from the topic. Is the NNPC man lacking an understanding of the contents of Lamido Sanusi's letter.

The CBN asks in the letter, where is my foreign exchange?

You the NNPC has exported crude and under the export laws, the proceeds from these exports must be remitted by the NNPC, the exporter and not the FIRS or DPR.

To an extent, the CBN cares less about what has been paid into the federation account as that is an issue for the fiscal authorities. The CBN is concerned about its foreign exchange as this is at the center of its monetary policy direction.

So Mr NNPC who exported and did not remit forex to the CBN should explain what has happened. In this case, the CBN does not know the DPR and FIRS. It knows the exporter, the NNPC.

Sorry son I don't really get it, abeg lay it out for use wey no go skool, so when I dey support I'll understand d full gist. Are u sayin dat d moneys CBN is askin for is Not what d NNPC is explaining? Abeg u fit explain d 2 lot in laymen's terms. Thank you

biafranqueen: I can see that happening to Nigerian contractors, so are you saying that the foreign contractors deal with less bribing incident that is why they seem to do better job?

A better job? U call all dese a better job!? Y do u fink Julius Berger will never leave Nigeria, cos they use d cheapest possible materials on our roads n charge the highest possible price, the foreign contractors are smarter den most of Nigerian contractor in d fact dat after bribing, the contract money is paid to dem in full but Nigerian contractors don't get dat deal.

This alleged letter was written by Sanusi to GEJ in secret but it got out to d media, already the APC senator come here is to justify d alleged letter without even asking the author why he wrote it in secret? Y didn't he write d letter to the senate? Did what NNPC say true? Why do dis bush men rant without doin dere homework. The story maybe true but please bring facts and stop using newspaper to make threats. Technically CBN has not claimed money is missing it was read in an alleged letter which was secretly written from Sanusi to GEJ.

OPC.NAIRALAND:


For your info, Yoruba's grouse against OBJ was that he was on Nigerian side and did not lean to favor Yoruba during his tenure. Do not mistake our grievance against him as a cast out from the family; he is still very much a respected Yoruba elder and Nigeria came close to a calamity after MKO; we will drop it if anyone harm Obj. Fire will burn the enemy, from the Atlantic stretching to the banks of Niger.

Oh really! Wooh! We shaking in our boots.

Gboliwe: All these contractors help pull down a government with their non chalence

Do dey really!! Cos no human is born a criminal, u have to go c what it takes to get a government contract in Nigeria. If u are fighting to get a NGN2billion contract by the time u have finish bribing the same government official na only NGN800million go remain, den what? U expect d man to carry em head build road he wen he most pay back bank loans n money owed. Obi is doin what any corrupt politician will do, blame d contractor on d media in d morning n den call him up for some R&R @ nite. No one's getting arrested, not when he is in charge officially till 2022. Worst dat will happen APC will complain Obi cries out tribal witch hunt n Anambra people will have his back. And d bad road remains.

Hug wash! That all I gasto say
