I guess President Jonathan is a military expert with security background for him to be given security briefings? OR was GEJ also locked out of security meetings?

This so called expert that wrote this piece is pathetic. This is not true.

PYO was engaged with other matters at the periods of the security meetings.
He will attend the next one just to silence some archaic brains

please lets hear yours.

These are leadership lessons i was able to pick from the outgoing president.
I think it will also help someone here.

LEADERSHIP LESSONS I LEARNT FROM PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN

1. Always state your goals clearly with no ambiguity from the beginning. If not people will create goals for you and judge you by goals
created for you.

2. Surround yourself with people who are loyal to your country (cause) and not just you. This way they will not be sycophants.

3. Take time to study and know things not just about you but also around you. You need to know your turf very well.

4. Don’t be slow in taking a decision even if it has to be instant. It is better to make a wrong decision than none at all.

5. Be in firm control of your home. Your wife needs to know she is to complement you and not compete with you.

6. Never blame anyone for your failures. Take responsibility for it and for those working for you. It provides opportunity for mastery

7. Never praise only yourself for your successes. People will no longer go out of their way to aid your success.

8. Money is not everything. People will desert you when you are broke or no longer in power if money is all that you give to them.

9. Don’t always think people are against you. You can shut anyone up with results.

10. Never ever try to please everyone, you cannot and that’s a recipe for failure.

11. Give a damn about everything that concerns your sphere of influence or your sphere of influence will not give any damn about you.

12. Choose your battles wisely. Delegate the non serious ones.

13. Don’t wait until the last minute before choose to achieve or make a difference. It may make no difference.

14. Keep other leaders close to you. Listen to them but screen all they say with the lens of patriotism.

- Hillsate, May 2015.

Dear Nigerians,
This is the explanation NNPC gave for the missing $20b.
Even a kindergarten will not fall for this.

Routine consultation ke.
Is this the first time that the ambassador is called for 'routine consultation'? of course not!
Did SA ever react on his 'routine consultation' in Nigeria? of course not!
I put it to you that he was not called for routine consultation.

The annoying part is the Govt making it worse by lying. It is bad for citizens to lie but it is even worse for the representative of the citizens to lie.

PLEASE WHO HAS DIGESTED THE RELEASED PWC REPORT?

Ayo fayose is not a fool. He knows his days are numbered as Gov. I have never seen anyone celebrating victory over perceived enemies yet craving their forgiveness.

Dear Gov Ayo Fayose,
Buhari never enter you don dey beg for forgiveness. I gave good news for you. After May 29th, the courts will be really independent without bias. If your hands are clean of any allegation then keep smiling for no one can do you injustice BUT bros, if your hands no clean, no Jupiter can save you because the allegations on you has already impeached God in your case.

Dear PDP,
Nigerians are wiser now.
So you guys want to plant a mole in Buhari's government by trying to present IGP as someone who was neutral.
Sorry, the craft is dead on arrival. IGP is highly partisan, need I to remind you of the security aids of political office holders that were withdrawn because they were perceived to be anti PDP? Abegi!
All service chiefs are going.

chuna1985:
Ive been laughing since 2010, Only sadists can tow down that road that u have been Mr Sadness/Anger.

How can u cry about the unprecedented corruption OBJ exacted in as Petroleum Minister wen u have no knowledge or facts about how much is being stolen, It was GEJ that signed FOI bill, Making knows to the general public about all monies spent in nigeria, Including his own feeding(FYI, OBJ destroyed this Country n made it in the way it it today).

I always say this and people that lack knowledge never get to understand it....CORRUPTION is not the reason why Nigeria is Like this, I will say it over and over again Forever.

I am unemployed and not part of the system i am a Forex/Stock?crude Oil and Precious Metal trader for 4 years with good success, now and i am expanding into a second business(Supply of Weavons n attachment)... But i simply know how to clear corruption from a place like NNPC. NNPC is so corrupt that at this point, Its best to sell it(With a clause of government buy back attached to it). Things have gotten so that bad even soldiers that are sent to guide Pipelines and put on a daily salary of 5k to look the other way.....Wow, Someone whose salary is 48k per month will easily accept that with smiles. From Ground troops in NNPC to the Generals are already compromised, People that will be brought in from other sectors in the Country are already stealing from where they are now....On the long run, Nothing changes.

CORRUPTION IS NOT THE REASON NIGERIA IS AS BAD AS THIS, EVEN WEN NIGERIA WILL COME OUT OF THIS PROBLEM YOU WILL STILL WITNESS MASSIVE CORRUPTION IN THE OIL SECTOR. OIL SECTOR IN THE WORLD IS EXTREMELY CORRUPT, EVEN OIL COMPANIES IN AMERICA BRIBE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO ALLOW THEM DUMP WASTE PRODUCTS ILLEGALLY INTO THE SEA, THUS DESTROYING THE HABITAT AND PEOPLES LIVELIHOOD....

JUST VISIT PH, GO TO THE REFINERY AND OBSERVE FOR 7 DAYS, U WILL BE SHOCKED N U WILL ALSO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN.

Guy, I initially thought you were naive but now I know you are in addition a quack in the knowledge on corruption.
I just spent 5 minutes trying to understand what you wrote you make no sense. For starters, get a good dictionary and locate the meaning of corruption. Then go to ICPC website and read about corruption. Come back then we discuss. Thank me later.

illuminaty:
.......Then u were short-changed by 1thousand naira......its 13k for 1 election.....26k for both election plus 9500naira for feeding n transportation......grand total is a mere stipend of 35,500

You too were short changed cos I know of peeps who got N41,500

chuna1985:
1). Will Ribadu go for field work?

2). If anyone can accept defeat and forward congratulations, Why havent any Nigerian Politician done it at any Level(Be it presidency, Governorship and senate, etc since our History)

3). Do u have any link up with NNPC? Have u worked there? Cuz if u have, You will understand exactly what i mean.

4). I really laugh at your word - ""Nigeria is in her best seasons right now to upturn all the systems""

And i am laughing hardest @ dis one as well - """While the 'G' in Buhari was attained by discipline, purposefulness, dedication, loyalty and focus"""

We will all be alive to witness this planned destruction of Nigeria by the present crop of leaders.

Time and again, Nigerians cant learn that our problem is not corruption.

Time and again, Nigerians prove not to know anything about Buhari...

The only thing Men learn from history is that they never learn from History. Mark dis very word.

For starters, am glad you are laughing. Nigerians have been deprived of laughter that they are almost thinking its normal.
1. When Obasanjo was president cum minister of petroleum, was he going for field work? Did we experience the kind of corruption GEJ's government perpetrated?
2. I am shocked that you are positing that our problem is not corruption. Do you really understand what corruption is? What then is our problem?
3. By asking me if I have any link in or have worked in NNPC before means that you have link and or work in NNPC. This explains why you do not see the issues as corruption. You are part of the system.
4. Guy, at the end of 6 months of GMB administration i'll like to have your honest review, precisely Dec 2015.

idris93:
The Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday expressed confidence that it would effectively dislodge the All Progressives Party from power in four years time and reestabilsh its dominance in the nation’s political horizon.

Olisa Metuh, the party`s National Publicity Secretary, stated this while speaking with journalists at the end of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) meeting.

The meeting was the first after it lost the presidential election to the APC.

He reassured PDP members across the country that the NWC had put machinery in place to re-engineer and re-focus the party, in keeping with the collective determination to consolidate its support base in states of the federation.

chuna1985:
Whomever u employ as inspectorate will be the loophole ...

By the time dem dish out 1 million naira raw cash to each of them each time they come for field work inspection, they will be loyal n guess what, corruption in d oil sector will continue

And you think GMB will put any crass there for the inspectorate. What do you think of Ribadu heading the inspectorate? You think he will be after bribe?
Nigeria is in her best seasons right now to upturn all the systems.
Why didnt Jonathan simply implement all these?
By the time the genuine NNPC report comes out under GMB, we will have to redefine that being a hero is beyond conceding defeat (which anyone can do).

GEJ and GMB only have one thing in common, the Letter G.
While the 'G' in Buhari was attained by discipline, purposefulness, dedication, loyalty and focus, the 'G' in Jonathan has no criteria.

what do we need above foot soldiers for. This list cannot be complete without these two

1. Diezani Allison Madueke - Minister of petroleum resources and other sources

2. Patience Faka Goodluck - Senior Co-president (by function) to Goodluck Jonathan (Co-president by name)

#bringbackDiezani&Patience

clevvermind:
buhari should better behave or face serious problem from the creek. time for me to enjoy. we own the oil. buhari should respect us.

Buhari is not a weakling. You guys better behave. It was corruption that led to your agitation, where you had to deal directly with the presidency. Your leaders were corrupt that's why. Derivation funds were pocketed and diverted by your leaders. You were able to access weapons because of corruption in the system. Most of your fighters were underpaid soldiers due to corruption.

We will be clearing that corruption and your derivation funds will be used for the right purposes. There will be no need for amnesty program.
You guys should better get ready to behave of you face the force of our collective will. Be warned.

Barrister Solomon Lalung of the All Progressives Congress in Plateau state is leading in the statewide election results independently collated and obtained by SaharaReporters. Mr. Lalung is leading his closest rival with at least 50,000 based on 95% of results so far released by INEC.

@OP, when Sanusi said $20bn is missing, It wasnt a case of "lost but found" where your N50 fell down and somebody helped you find it under your bed. Did they write "missing $20bn on the notes?
Please stop spreading foolishness.

Femi Aribisala is trying to finish his contract with PDP which ends by May 28th then he lobby's for another contract with the government in power. Unfortunately for him APC will not be needing sycophants to convince the world of their achievements.

Please can we have the pictures of his pharmacy?

Guys, put your argument to rest. The ministry of petroleum will function directly under the president, while power will be directly under the Vice president.
We are no longer just concerned about qualification or experience. If your character is questionable you have no place under place in this government.

It was built by an individual and given to the police to help protect his hotel built near it.

What if INEC's boss Jega tell us later today that General Buhari's Victory is simply April fool's day prank by the commission.
What will be your response?

theorbiters:
You all should understand something.
None of the candidates has won yet.
It's all about how many percentage they can pull.
And the last I checked, PDP was ahead by 20% to APC 16%.
Apc wud do well to close up the shops Sokoto and Borno and try to pull enough votes in Delta.

GMB already has 25% in over 24 states!

samm:
....Results so far...

welldone!
Would have been more nice if it shows percentage of votes won for States lost.

dotcomnamename:
[size=15pt]Wait oo, you sure sey Edo and Delta no go counter Buhari so? [/size]

how many accredited voters do we have in EDO and DELTA? even if PDP cleared all.

PDP!!!!!!
response: People don collect their power!

tandoe:
e go hard o but I trust d God of Gooduck

The God of Goodluck told Goodluck what would be since February 14th. But Goodluck thought he could change the mind of the God of Goodluck in 6 weeks. But like the law of median and persia "what is written, is written"

simple answer to what CAN is asking for.

If you are twenty in your family and took vote on something conducted by your dad assisted by mum.
if 18 of you voted A while 2 voted B and dad announces A as winner, will there be trouble?
If B are not happy with the result, how much trouble can they cause against the 18?
Trouble will only be when your dad connives with those that voted B and declared B winner.

Is CAN privy to some information we don't have?

Mrfemi1:
LOL feels good to post a Topic again.

I decided to share my thoughts on the presidential election that will take place on Saturday. I have seen and read so many analysis from the ridiculous to the out rightly biased. I guess we all have. the ones that struck me most are the ones done by THE PUNCH, THE GUARDIAN AND VANGUARD and are mostly on their front pages.

The punch predicts a very close tie between the two of buhari and jonathan. but tips buhari
Vanguard clearly predicts a BUHARI victory
Guardian gives GEJ a resounding victory even winning the most states in the west weirdly.
Personally, I believe Nigeria deserves better than those two as It is obvious they are both not competent enough to rescue this country. I wanna see lagos go to PDP and FG go to APC. we need change both ways. Might be good for our democracy. I also think APC will have a better Team.
