Politics › Re: Gov. Fashola To Pre. Jonathan by huptin(m): 5:52pm On Nov 12, 2014
Each time i travel to Abuja, i always feel appalled by the paucity of basic infrastructure in the capital of the giant of Africa, apart from the city centre every where else is a long stretch of thick bushes, although to be fair the roads are quite good, but you cant but wonder at the ghost town we all call our federal capital.

If a dog that use to wag its tail when its sights, you start barking at your sight, then there is every reason to be afraid. This sudden change in America's attitude to Nigeria is very suspicious.

Never mention Wole Soyinka's son or the APC in the mess we find ourselves in. The crook called Onyebuchi Chukwu, and the crook CMD had the mandate to make the hospital world class, but instead of doing so, they stole the money! Oh i recall GEJ calls it "ordinary stealing". Just like the people of Bukina Faso burnt down their presidential villa so shall it be to Aso Rock, the Haramites and the Jonathanians, should they scuttle our bid to retake power! Do the right thing and vote them out. All the best to your mama!

-CramJones
Mr cram Jones I have neve responded to your comments before but this one up there is the grandfather of all absurdities, how can you mention a federal minister's name in a matter that absolutely involves a state?

While I like Amosun's strident developmental steps in Ogun state, it is obvious that he has apparently not paid enough attention to the health sector, why not encourage him to do so instead of calling onyebuchi's name.

Nice one OP, i totally agree with you, APC cannot talk like PDP, walk like PDP, conduct primaries like PDP, pick their candidates like PDP, have the ssame corrupt politicians from PDP and claim to be different from PDP.
Politics › Re: Buhari Is Not Transparent Enough To Be President Of Nigeria. by huptin(m): 11:28am On Oct 21, 2014
drss:
Leadership worldwide is about service to humanity. Service to work for the benefit of the populace without expecting anything in return. Service to sacrifice oneself for the greater good of all even at the point of personal disadvantage or dead.
Its the kind of service that is transparent, honest and devoid of lies and manipulations.
The kind of service that would put smiles on the faces of the people.
This the kind of service Nigerians deserve.
You started this write up quite well, but you were only able to dwell on the loan part which has already been over thrashed in the arena of public opinion. What about the other questions/issues you raised? Are you asking us to research further to find answers? I believe this Buhari honesty is more of a myth than reality, but perception is every thing, if you must make people change their minds over a myth that is almost 30 years old, then you must come up with hard facts and present them in a more convincing manner than this.

[quote author=Ikengawo post=27278826]All of the ills you listed as plaguing owerri, give me an accurate description of Oshogbo or Ore. Owerri is more developed than ibadan while ibadan has a bigger economy. The part of ibadan where people live in mud houses is almost the size of the whole owerri municipal. Even on these alleged outskirts of owerri you wont find people in slums and shanties nor will you see beggars, leprosy, and teaming colonies of cripples or touts. Whats worst is owerri is not ibadans peer, enugu is. While ibadans economy is bigger than that of enugu, theres more development in enugu than ibadan.

Now go to rural awka ibom where kids are still killed for being accused of being witches, and rural bayelsa, oyo, ekiti, osun, etc and compare it to the worst poverty in rural imo anambra or abia[/quo
Been to Enugu, Nice city, very neat and clean, but u can't compare it to Ibadan with all due respect Ibadan's economy is ten times bigger than enugu's. Beggars and touts go to places where they perceive that they can make money, if there are none in Enugu it shows that perhaps even the beggars knows that there is little or no money to be made over there.

There are also many beggars on the streets of new York, that doesn't mean Johannesburg is better than New York .

TheIROKO:
Who travels more than the Americans or Chinese but that doesn't mean they are poor. So travelling wide is obviously a wrong yardstick to rate a region as poor but actually a mark of a developed place.
It is common knowledge that people migrate to places with opportunities and good infrastructure. The Americans and Chinese that travel other places do so either as expatriates or for business expansion. And they usually go back after a while.

Most of the American and Chinese businesses in Nigeria have their head offices in their home countries. Now is that the same thing here in Nigeria? If indeed there are better opportunities in the south east people will be flooding there, it's just natural.

You look at Ibadan u see a big city full of brown roofs a good investor see a huge opportunity for retail businesses. Those brown roofs houses human beings with needs to be satisfied. Now answer truthfully if given a choice between Ibadan a sprawling city full of activities and owerri a sparsely populated city where most of the inhabitants visit by day and go back to their rural or semi rural enclaves by nite where would u site your business?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
if you have visited owerri, you wouldn't argue like this. Emigration patterns have failed to establish facts on poverty and wealth in this nation. SE is the typical eg.
Anyway, the same owerri hosts a lot of non indigenes too.
I have visited Ower ri several times and beside the numerous hotels donning the town particularly the new owerri parts, I didn't see much industrial and commercial activities that can sustain the kind of opulence and wealthy lifestyle you people always come here to boast about.

By the way the relatively cost of living of the town ensure that most people who are poor do not reside there, they stay in the outskirts and only come to the town for their daily activities.

Going out at nite in Owerri is quite scary because of lack of street lights in most places and the apparent darkness coupled with the fact that city becomes almost desolate at nite, you only find people congregating in fun places.

The major mode of transport is keke and it's quite expensive. Now southwestern towns make provisions for both the rich and the poor.

Ibadan for instance is a very huge city with a part with brown roofs and all while the other part houses modern houses and the relatively affluent citizens.

Are unsure of this? that same owerri I have visited several times? Poverty is every where my friend trying to excuse u r state from it is delusional. If all south eastern states are eldorado according to your claims why is the emigration pattern is higher than immigration? A bi human beings have suddenly started preferring poverty and slums to wealth?

Politics › Re: Obasanjo To Pres. Jonathan, Others: Don’t Beg Me, Do The Needful by huptin(m): 2:25pm On Oct 13, 2014
interoute:
All the issues raised by Baba Obasanjo were there b4 baba became president and even increased during his time. President Jonathan has not resolved them all but he is confronting the problems gradually. President Jonathan is only trying to prevent baba from another disgrace when PDP wins Ogun state in 2015 after the coming together of Gbenga Daniel and Buruji Kashamu and maybe the Osoba faction of APC, just like he was disgraced when the person he removed from office (Fayose) was recently restored back by PDP in Ekiti state against Baba's wish. How many northern / southern gov or cabal baba presently controls. If it's IBB who presently has wicked cabals around that is talking, I will understand. Jonathan does not need Obj's assistance to convincingly win in 2015. He is only trying to give baba his respect as someone who created the channel through wish he became president.
Then let him stop begging him.

Thank you so much, some one accused you of a crime, prove him wrong, just travel to America and come back. Then we will all agree with you that Obasanjo is a liar. Shikena.
Politics › Re: 2015 PRESIDENTIAL DECLARATION!!!BUHARI VISITS AND INVITES GOVERNOR FASHOLA!(PIX) by huptin(m): 7:50am On Oct 13, 2014
I used to hate this Buhari so much, mostly because of what i was told about him being an ethnic jingoist and a religious bigot, Then came the biggest allegation of all that he was the chief supporter of boko haram, i paused to think about it and it didnt sound logical to me. His comportment and events which later occured confirmed my earlier suspicion.

This man is very likely to be innocent of all the unfortunate allegations he could be a victim of the dirty nigerian mudslinging politics. But i am still not sure of voting for him though, i believe Nigeria has gone way beyond his likes, at this period we dont need a 72 year old man to rule us, we need young, energetic people with great vision and passion to change the direction of this great nation.

Arch1:
During previous elections Buhari's vice Presidential running mate were:

Chuba Okadigbo - an Igbo man

Pastor Tunde Bakare - a Yoruba/pastor.

And it is even rumoured that Professor Yemi Osinbajo, a Senior pastor in Redeem might be his VP at the next election. So i dont understand what you mean by ethno-religious bigotry
What about the late Edwin Ume Ezeoke ? he was Buharis vp aspirant in 2007.

Omimah:
CAN is a different body from our conventional churches. The leadership emerges from an election, not revelation or prophecy as done in some churches.
But to be a CAN president, you must first of all be a christian and a pastor, so if your inability to keep to Christ's injunctions is enough to deprive you of CAN presidency, it should also be enough to deprive u of the privilege of being a pastor. my simple opinion though I could be wrong.

Could you explain?
I don't think the bible meant that a man of God would always retain his position regardless of whatever he does. If this were so, then Chris himself will have no reason to ask Ayo to resign despite dragging the name of Christ in the mud. or don't u think so?

If you don't know what to say leave this thread. Oritsajafor became CAN President through an election, he can be asked to resign if found wanting.
please don't get me wrong, I do not support Ayo, but that statement by Chris is self contradictory.

If 20% of a state's IGR goes to an individual and the president is aware of it but refuses to arrest and prosecute him, then the president is also an accomplice and he should either resign or be impeached.
