manmade: You are obviously the one that doesn't know what is expected of u as a good citizen . , Gej replied Obj letter because people were clamouring for a response to the bunch of lies been peddle by Obj and his political allied ,any sound brain wiil appreciate this classic response -it short and straight to the points .Gej is the best thing that ever happened to this country -inspite of the unprecedented efforts of saboteur to destroyed his good works , he is still performing excellently better than any other Nigerian president ever before Obj inclusive .

I know the standard of education in Nigeria, Ive read about it profusely, and---trust me--- I feel your pain. So, I understand if comprehension is not one of your strongest suits.

Mr.Sound Brain,

I did not say "What I expect of a good citizen" , I said:"What I expect of a President".

Big difference.

Taiwo20: Why is this in politics section?

Why arent you commenting on the topic?

Isnt this what you guys like?Talk about tribe and language? Anyway, this man seems to me to be an impostor so I want to hear the views of the Yorubas especially as it concerns them because a man that would pretend to be from their part of Nigeria---especially in a foreign country--- cant be said to be up to any good.

The man is this video does not look or sound like an "Abiola Ogungbenle" to me. Neither does he look like hes 25 yrs old. Anyway, this is him seeing snow for the first time.




Abiola Ogungbenle, Nigerian Man, Witnessed His First Snowfall... And His Reaction Is Incredible (PHOTO)

In August 2013, Abiola Ogungbenle, 25, moved from Nigeria to Hanover, Pa., to be with his wife, and has been anxiously awaiting his first winter snowfall ever since.

On December 8, Joseph Fryer, Ogungbenle's housemate and owner of photography business, The Digital Lightbox, was on his way outside to take pictures when he saw the Nigerian native completely overwhelmed with joy.

"It was like a child seeing snow for the first time," Fryer told The Huffington Post. "You could see the excitement on his face."

Ogungbenle asked Fryer to take a photograph of him so that he could send it back to his family in Nigeria. Fryer's friend then posted the photo to Reddit and from there it went viral.



After about 30 minutes of playing in the snow and making snow angels, Ogungbenle yelled out to Fryer, "Oh man, it's cold!"

“To meet somebody from a whole other country who has never seen snow at all except for on the TV and then seeing him experience it, really warmed my heart," Fryer told FOX 43. "Seeing people enjoy the photo as much as I enjoyed taking it, as much as Abiola enjoyed seeing the snow, and experiencing it for the first time, it’s just really nice."

Promhize: OBJ is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria since Abacha

nah, that prize goes to GEJ. He's the worst thing to befall Nigeria, period.

[quote author=Hon. SuQ Ma'DIQ]You are not the first nor the last in this mad.ness. All i hear is "CRUCIFY HIM" everywhere.
No matter what GEJ says or does at this point in time, just like JESUS and his ACCUSERs you will still go on with your "CRUCIFY HIM" chants!
Its his "TRANSGRESSION" in the hand of your likes, but just like JESUS, his hour will still come, so that you and your likes will be put to everlasting shame in this country.[/quote]You're not the only one that can dish insults but I'll refrain and only reply to your other "points" that I think deserve a response.

All Im saying is OBJ does not deserve a response. GEJ needs to concentrate and do his job instead of writing epistles to lunacy like he also has mental issues himself. You've never heard that when u argue with a fool people don't know who is who? So, I REPEAT: GEJ does not deserve to be President because he does not hold the office in high esteem. Obj's letter was made up of truths, half truths and outright lies. Discerning minds could see that. If GEJ was smart, he'd have known that. And what truths did OBJ tell (ie on the economy) that Nigerians did not know already? But by responding to---- what could at best be--- rumors , he lent credence to ALL of OBJ'S accusations.

Gej doesn't know what is expected of him as President.

For even replying OBJ --- especially----- with this kind of rubbish, Gej has shown that he doesn't deserve to be President. He doesn't know the esteem he's supposed to hold his office.

[quote author=jmaine][/quote]ok, u quoted me...aaaaannnnnndddd? Did I lie? Dude, whether u like to admit it or not Igbos destroyed GEJ's presidency by making him look like a regional leader that hated everyone else EXCEPT them. This led to increased paranoia in a country where the people are already suspicious of each other.

And that's the plain truth whether u choose to accept it or not.

ckkris: Hi General Boko Haram, where is that $2.8 billion you hid away between 1977 and 1978?
Don't it get twisted, that Decree Number 4 you imposed on Nigerians after you overthrew a democratically elected Government in 1983, and gagged the Press from writing about the $2.8 billion, didn't in anyway achieve anything. Where is the money?

You do realize that more Nigerians despise Gej because of lies like this from people like u? How u ask me? Well, with More people gaining access to the internet and being able to easily discern your lies you aren't doing your man any favors except looking like a bearer of false hood. And no good person likes a liar. Especially a brazen one.

Basically, the way I see it, PDP is now a South Eastern Party. South South Ko, South North Korea United States ni. Edo and Rivers have said they want nothing to do with Gej or have u forgotten how the Oba of Benin ridiculed Gej? If u don't know that was the beginning of GEJ's problem.

Gej is done like cooked rice. I will remember to write him in prison.

Jakumo: Damn, I must say, Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden is ugly enough to frighten livestock.

In the above picture he looks as though he just learned that his secret bank account in Lichtenstein has been frozen, and the entire contents siezed for use in road repairs by the local government over there, after his estranged child-bride aged 16 spilled the beans on him and took off with the gardener to have his baby, leaving the Aytaollah with no option but to engage in forced ccoitus with chickens and ducks at night, when his village is asleep.

That horrid mug brings to mind the facial features of a bush-pig that I shot near the swamp a while back, and then fed to my dogs, several of which were later hospitalized at a veterinary facility, for food poisoning treatment.

Your jokes are no longer funny, and your bigotry is starting to make you look like a loonie.

Why do you support and love corruption?

Sirniyeh: General Muhammadu Buhari has been known to be taciturn, always keeping his feeling to himself except on few occasions when his bottled-up emotions took over him and resulted in tears. But in an exclusive interview with the Sun Newspapers, the General spoke about his relationship with other notable generals like Ibrahim Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo. He also spoke about the 1966 Coup, her daughter who recently died, and his plans for the general elections in 2015. Please read excerpts from the interview below:

When people talk of Buhari today, they are looking at a disciplined man. Was it the boarding house that put you through that or the military? Was the boarding house part of where you got your Spartan, disciplined life? Both did. As I told you, the teachers then treated their students as if they were their own children. So, we got the best of attention from teachers. And as I told you, they never spared the cane. You were meant to do your homework; you were meant to do the sports and clean up the environment, the compound and the area of the school and so on. And from that type of life, I moved into the military, the military of that time.

But during the Obasanjo administration, you had become a minister, as it were. No. I first became a governor when Murtala came, in North-East. This same North East that is giving problem now. Yes. I was there and there were six states then: Yobe, Borno, Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa and Taraba.

During your time as petroleum minister, what were you doing differently that they are not doing now that has made the sector totally rotten? Well, I was lucky again. When I was made a minister, I met an experienced man, a person of great personal integrity, the late Sunday Awoniyi. He was the permanent secretary then before the Supreme Military Council approved the merger of the Nigerian National Oil Corporation (NNOC) and the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and made Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Sunday Awoniyi was then the permanent secretary of the ministry. That was when I was sworn in eventually, I think in 1977, it became NNPC when the ministry and the NNOC were merged. He retired from the civil service. Another competent technocrat, Morinho, he became the Director of Petroleum Resources and he had a very competent team of Nigerian engineers, petroleum engineers and chemical engineers. And as minister of petroleum, I signed the contract for Warri Refinery, for Kaduna Refinery, for more than 20 depots all over the country, for laying of pipelines, more than 3200 kilometers and I couldn’t recall Nigeria borrowing a kobo for those projects. And then, by the time I became head of state, because I went to War College in the United States before the military handed over to the Second Republic and came back in 1980 and then, there was coup at the end of 1983. And that time, you can verify from Professor Tam David-West who was Minister of Petroleum Resources. We were exporting 100,000 barrels per day of refined products.

Well, some of us have heard that you used to smoke. Do you still smoke? What are those things you have given up? I used to smoke, but of course, I abandoned it I think in 1977. Oh really? Before you became head of state? Yes, I stopped smoking. Have you ever taken alcohol? No. Never? Never. Even as a young man and all that? No, no. Even in the military tradition, how they break you in, I said well, the military did not stop anybody practising his religion. My religion said no alcohol and no alcohol. So, that was respected. I was never forced to take alcohol and I have never voluntarily taken it because I want to remain alert all the time. There is a tendency that when you drink, you would want to have a bottle more, or a glass more and do something stupid.

Ok, what of Obasanjo? What kind of relationship do you have? Obasanjo; he mobilized Nigerian voters against me.

But you have forgiven him?
No, I haven’t forgiven him (laughter). And I will never forgive him...because I dont support corruption and I will never support any image that will militate against the common Nigerian


www.ynaija.com/ive-not-forgiven-obasanjo-and-i-will-not-forget-what-ibb-did-to-me-gen-buhari-opens-up-like-never-before/

Ibos, haven't you destroyed GEJ enough?

Aussie: I foresee GEJ using the National Dialogue to distract and douse the already heated polity. The 2015 elections may not hold afterall, this way, GEJ will hit back at the opposition. The National Dialogue is a guise as GEJ knows he can,t win any election in Nigeria again.
Watch out for intriguing outcome of the National Dialogue.

Lol National Dialogue that's dead on arrival the moment Gej himself set limits on what could be discussed? National Dialogue that GEJ himself spoke up against at the start of his Presidency?

GEJ is finished! His best bet is to aggressively tackle various developmental projects and attack corruption which would endear him to Nigerians and earn him a soft landing and make him avoid prison in the future. Anything else and he's a goner.

confusion247: There is no need for all that. We in south south will channel all our energy to go out of hypocritical One Nigeria simple. Marriage is not by force.

Theres nothing like South South, stop deceiving yourself. If Rivers won't support Bayelsa, you think the Edos who are more politically and culturally aligned to the Yorubas will?

You better wake up and smell the coffee.

Shine It: What they can't get at the polls they hope to get by force.
Bukohari has spent a lifetime trying to win at the polls but has now realized its impossible.

Anyway the prediction GEJ is the last Nigeria president is real.

Is impeachment unconstitutional? Yes? No?

Registering rival APC....sorry, didn't work.

Cunningly flooding the streets with Buhari posters....sorry didn't work.

Unleashed 40 laptop monkeys on the world...sorry didn't work.


Gej, this ain't 1826,its 2013. If u know what's good for you, recruit educated young Nigerians established in their fields that were born (and raised) in western countries into vital sectors of your govt and watch them go to work while bringing their experience and expertise with them. Either that or keep hanging with dinosaurs who will give u advise from 1960, that'll only destroy you in 2015.

Anyway, good luck in prison. Youre going to end up there if you lose the election.


P.S: IF you're smart Mr.Gej, you will make some very high profile arrests and call it a war against corruption. Make sure to include big wigs close to you so the scheme won't be so obvious. For every IBB you arrest, throw in a Tony Anenih, Stella Oduah and probably Diezani. Either u eventually let your people off easy or you just look at it as collateral damage; someone like Anenih is gonna be dead soon, anyway, so...

Just my crafty advice for you, sir. Try not to mess it up this time. Remember, your freedom is at stake.

[quote author=Love_Decay]Who gives a flying mess what Seun thinks. But we are glad, he has stated his position , all members take note Suen is a pdp member and nairaland is a pdp forum.......

[quote author=Itoroetti ]Seun ,the owner of nairaland,the biggest online forum in west africa has promised to vote for Goodluck jonathan if no other candidate replaces Buhari in the APC.
He said this while replying to a post by a forum member for been biased with the news been displayed on nairalands front page.

Na so all APC e-warriors go soon follow[/quote]Seun should first stop being a slave driver, stop making people work for him for free even though he makes a killing. He should start by paying his Mods then I'll start taking him serious.

Anyone you see that'll rather a GEJ over Buhari loves living in a lawless society where bribes take care of every illegality you commit, even murder.

owobokiri: The only reasonable voice from the sw these days. The recent mergers and decampings and antagonisms directed at the president are nothing but a cocktail of intimidating tactics prepared by some boko politicians , in collaboration with their owambe lapdogs.. Thse jeers and taunts and tantrums being thrown around by a tribal zealot like Buhari, a fulani errand boy like Obasanjo or even a come and chop politician like Tinubu are well ochestrated attacks marshalled to wranckle Jonathana chain. These are not coincidences.. Those
who saw a big country of well over 150,000000 as nothing but a civil war bootty post 1970 are putting up their last fight. It is the duty of all goood , irrespective of their political affliations to rally arround a president under a ferocious seige to make sure that this attempt to remake. Nigeria in a way that favours her teaming millions and not her theiving minnions is not scuttled by a restive bunch of highly unproductive elite.. This is the fight ahead of us. For all Nigerian citizens frustrated at the alarming rate of Nigerias perrenial underacheivement, this is a generational call for action.! Put succintly, it is time to fight back. We are too big a people, too sopphisticated a culture to be held donw perpetually to serve as serfs to some empty bullies like obasanjo. Our future should be too important too be dictated by dead men like Babangida and Danjuma. Confrences were held to reach agreements that led to Nigerias independence. With all troubles and tribulations this woefully underperforming country has gone through since independence, talks are needed to set things right again. . Keep the president in your prayrs. The shaks are circling. When you see Obasanjo, Buhari, Babangida and their footsoldiers threatening fire and brimestone, you should know we are on the right path.. . t e f ne

First off, I'm still wondering why you threw in Buhari's name in the above nonsensical rant. Second, do you really expect us to believe that GEJ--- A man thats refused to declare his assets, has proven to be utterly corrupt, divisive and tribalistic, forgives international fugitives and calls them his mentors, was willing to give N4Billion of the country's to his wife to play around with constructing a meaningless building ---- really has the good interest of Nigeria at heart?

Lmao

First tell him to ask Dame to resign her post as Permanent Sec. in Bayelsa State, afterall shes never showed up for work before., not even once.

InvertedHammer: /
In a country where a whole CBN governor nor the Minister of Finance knows the actual amount accruable to the FGN
from crude oil sales remittance alone...

SLS said $40.8bn....NNPC said $67.12bn...DPR said $67bn....
SLS later said that $12bn accounted for... whereas NOI said it is only $10.8 unaccounted....


Who in their right sense would believe any data being thrown around by these folks?

\

Country that doesnt even know how many citizens it has because some fear that the truth will cause chaos in the country because of political reasons.

giles14: mumu and with out d igbo's and so other tribes lagos will b as poor as sokoto.and be informwd dat more than 65 precent of cargo for lagos port are moved to d eastern part of nigeria

And if Lagos was to shut its waterways what will happen to that 65% cargo the East needs so badly for economic reasons?

boss1310: a poor nigerian parent spend triple of that only on indomie and pap to feed a child for a month excluding school fees paid every 3 months.an average nigerian man is wealthy compared to a south african black.thats a fact

Does South Africa have First World type cities? Constant Electricity? Good Roads? Medical Care? Yes? No?

My man, face the fact, Nigeria is a dirt poor, disorganized and unorganized country and at the helm of the affairs is the greediest, corrupt, and most unenlightened man one can imagine.

jp philips: pls don't mind them tinubu and his cohorts are clowns, Pdp destroyed Nigeria for 14yrs, Nigerians yearned for change,
Tinubu invites all Pdp refugees, rebrands them APC and calls them "progressive" et "change".

does he think we are stup!! d?

if Tinubu wants to be taken seriously, first, all pdp refugees in APC should be denied all tickets, except they want to form working comittes.

A hooligan pdp/Obasanjo's elrufai branded a "progressive" because he jumped ship insults my intelligence.

Tinubu should do himself a favor by looking up the word "change" in the dictionary.

Nigerians don't want a change of political parties, they want a change of persons and polity, in case tinubu doesn't have a dictionary.

Oshiomole, A radical labor leader turned Governor is change, An Amaechi pdp governor turned APC senator is no change but continuation of the wrath PDP has established.

You want APC to deny them membership, why didnt you ask the same when they were busy looting with GEJ in the same party?

You sound like youre scared. Reality is hitting you gradually I see.

Undilutedfact: Why do Muslims block roads for prayers?
Just travelling from Kano to Jos and on getting to Saminaka, the road was blocked for Juma'at prayers....a federal road for that matter...
These happens in many places in the country...
Is this fair?
Will such prayers be received by God I.e if at all prayers are?
What if there's an emergency and some one needs to be rushed to the hospital?
Isn't this selfishness or even nuisance?

Probably because every other road side shack has been turned to a [s]scam center to take the gullible for their hard earned cash[/s] Church, Church blaring speakers disturbing neighborhoods, illegal Churches building on highways violating original City Plans.... etc

The causes are more, but these are the excuses I could think of for the Northern Muslims you complain about.

This table of the trend in global ranking of Nigeria should tell you how your puppet Jonathan has dragged the nation backwards! Since 2010, we only made 1% point gain Compare that to the era 2005 to 2008, nearly 20% point gained![/quote]Anybody that attributes the successes in this report to GEJ is not only being insincere but is very much an unrepentable bigot!

Notice in the OP that they said even during the Military Era, Nigeria's true financial worth was seriously underreported: theres been no proper collation of figures since 1990!!!!

Nigeria has always been rich, the leaders have just always been mentally poor. If wealth was based on IQ, GEJ would be a street urchin.

taharqa: Smone just asked an EXTREMELY Remarkable question/observation,and only 2 persons have acknowledged it:

By the way, has anyone noticed the sudden drop in complains about bad roads across the country especially in this travelling season?

Try to answer the question, if not openly then within. The Answer to these kinds of questions would led you to many other truths.....

You're really bad at this propaganda thing you were hired for, aren't u? Shouldn't you be praising GEJ and giving all praises to him for this news about the Nigerian economy surpassing South Africa's? But no, with your own hands you decided to destroy it and turn the topic towards roads. When u get shown pics of deplorable roads to counter you claim, I bet you're going to start screaming "opposition".

Theben: And you believe that a country with over 80 percent of it's population owning atleast a mobile phone has an average of it's population living below a dollar per day? Even a mo.ron won't think like this.

Cellphones are now your criteria to judging poverty? For your info, most Nigerians live in rural areas, and majority of the people that live in those areas live in very deplorable conditions and are poor as dirt.

Go figure.

manny4life: All PDP members who decamped to APC lack loyalty but anyway, PDP would ALWAYS wax stronger than APC. One this for sure, PDP will NEVER say GO and DIE, looking at APC ruling pattern, these guys are no different from PDP in terms of thievery but on top of that, they are reckless and wicked. Time will tell, he who laughs last laughs best.

Wait let's backtrack a bit. PDP deserters lack loyalty now that they've joined APC? PDP won't say "Go and Die"?! What do you think they've been telling Nigerians by stealing every penny mean for development, granting fugitives pardons, telling Nigerians economy will collapse if subsidy is not removed while nobody has seen the effect on the economy as predicted by the President? What do you think they told Nigerians when the First Lady accepted a Permanent Sec. Post for a job she has never showed up for? PDP is same as APC --- you agreed they are all thieves--- yet u chose to call the latter reckless and wicked even though they've never ruled the country and are a newly formed party?

Try to think beyond tribe and drop the hatred. PDP is as evil as they come.

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]It's neither here nor there bro. Would you rather we font give them that and end up not having money to fund necessary services?[/quote]I'd rather the Government does what it has to do to ensure that a group of criminals dont hold the rest of the country to ransom.

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]The relative peace in the Niger delta is the reason Nigeria is able to fund this budget at all.[/quote]And thats enough reason to give a group of thugs and gangsters money meant for the rest of of the Nation?

Kairoseki77: You are correct that GEJ tolerates the opposition. He seems like a good person.

Tolerates?! Wow

Good person that steals every penny in sight. Tell me, what would he be like if he was a bad person?

obyrich: Many Nigerians are shallow thinkers, who like the character Boxer in the novel 'Animal Farm', think that Napoleon is always right. They are echoing what their father, OBJ, said. What they do not know is that a politician is a businessman whose profit margin is proportional to the level of indocility and idiocy of the citizenry.

u need to go read Animal Farm again...like 10 billion more times.
