Hmmm!!!! kudos to everyone dat comment on dis post even u dat supported GEJ good of you. I wonder why some people could be so dumb to the extent of believing they would benefit from a scheme like YouWin when their father is not Okupe nor their mother a Diezani. I just bring idea if u vote for jonathan for coming election, the average Nigerian is going to live in Sorrow nd tears while we keep listening to how billions of dollars keep disappearing from the nation's treasury with no probe. Jonathan brings so many tears to mothers in nigeria, what youths generally benefit frm dis GEJ government? chibok girl all over 234missing bomb here bomb there nd mind u trust no one except God but GMB is d best for us now. I wish everyone Best luck for coming election "Vote Wisely".

Na u wise past.

Don't mind them My brother. Only TANists want the sustenance of those fraudulent programs because it means an end to their selfish gain.

Naso barcanista. Their evil end game is over..clock is ticking!

Sai Buhari!

Voting Jonathan made 170m nigerians fools, re-electing him make dem dumbest

theoophilic:
No matter what is said about President Jonathan, PRESSID and YouWiN are two programmes associated to his tenure and have helped many. YouWiN was said to be the most transparent programme ever in Nigeria and PRESSID was said to be purely based on performance and free of tribalism. Personally, I was praying to win the next PRESSID... But the doubt then looms: WHAT IF JONATHAN isn't reelected?

Its a caricature! Til today a frnd of mine ws picked n til tomorrow frm 9million ws bit to 7m n up til date nothin. Its wash. It ended @ d 1st batch, d following batches ar hoodwink...dis com3 dnt need mediocrity govt.

Sai Buhari!

It true bt dey will even fail coz God no longer support Jonathan hence dis. They're planning digital rigging.

It's unfortunate that many Yorubas share this idealogy. This evil idealogy has been planted on the minds of Yorubas by APC. GEJ has done far more, 10 times what a Yoruba president Obasanjo did for southwest. SW has received more in federal projects than other regions except its hidden from the people or hijacked, misrepresented as APC state projects. Sad but fact!

Yoruba people, stop this vindictive politics you people are playing. SS and SE voted decisively for Abiola and Obasanjo. You people are sowing a seed of divisive politics that a lot of SS are now waking up to. Following this pattern, will ultimately alienate votes from SS for any future yoruba presidential candidate...mark my words.

Who are u to speak for SW? Mention one single project Jonathan did in SW? Even Jonathan himsef knw hw he marginalized us n he cnt expect our votes even if he turn mike tyson, dis is a lost course.

Dey want us to believe u're evil coz dey want to continue to loot us dry n increase our povertyline for their manipulation bt God hv a way to change. On Febuhari we stand!!!

Sai Buhari!

Do you support their actions?

Well u cldn't. Expect less..d president didn't help either!

Buhari warn your illiterate supporters to allow PDP to campaign freely in the north as PDP allows APC to campaign freely in their strongholds. Be warned

N wat hapn to dem in Rivers? Do u knw hw many were shot? Dumb!

The Nuhu Ribadu-led Petroleum Revenue Special Task Force has detailed how the Nigerian government and national oil company, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, treat huge oil revenues accruing to the federation as a reserve of money that could be used for illicit purposes without accountability.
In its 178-page report, obtained by PREMIUM TIMES last night, the committee revealed how oil money in the custody of the NNPC were spent on extra-budgetary purposes such as the acquisition of a N2.23billion chopper for the president and a purported sponsorship of the World Cup.
In what appears a brazen misuse of public funds, the NNPC also gave out N700.5million in loan to Sao Tome & Principe based on instruction from the presidency. It also made a curious payment of N2.421billion to a foreign company, Royal Swaziland Sugar Company. The reason for the payment is unclear.
The Corporation also claimed to have underwritten a N521million expenses incurred by the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources. This is in addition to the N250million the agency told the committee it spent on court cases involving the ministry.
The ministry has its own budgetary allocation and it is unclear why the NNPC is paying for its expenses. The nature of some of the expenses are also unclear.
The committee also found that the NNPC was being used as illegal lender to presidential committees, ministries and parastatals. For instance the corporation claimed it incurred about N20billion on the Presidential Implementation Committee on Maritime Safety and Security, based on instruction from the presidency.
The Ribadu committee also determined that about $1billion in signature bonuses, discrepancies in payment by the NNPC, and debts from oil companies were unaccounted for by the NNPC and the Department of Petroleum Resources.

Excerpts of the report
“…Theft of crude oil and refined petroleum products may be reaching emergency levels in Nigeria. The Task Force has received reports suggesting that volumes stolen have risen dramatically in the past 12-18 months. The Royal Dutch Shell Company, Shell in its presentation to the Task Force stated that an estimated 150,000 barrels of crude oil are stolen per day (about 6% of Nigeria’s total annual production) causing a revenue loss of $13.5 million per day (at $100 per barrel) which amounts to $5billion per year of lost revenue.
On the other hand, high ranking Officials and Executives in the Federal Government tasked with the management of the nation’s strategic Oil and Gas assets have several times stated the existence of large-scale on-going theft of Nigeria’s crude oil. This represents government acknowledgment of the magnitude of the loss. Mr. Leke Oyewole, a Senior Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Maritime Affairs, disclosed to the media in March, 2012 that Nigeria loses about 40 million metric tonnes of petroleum products amounting to about $20 billion (N3 trillion) to crude oil theft and illegal bunkering; while NNPC has publicly stated that it spent $1.2billion in the last ten years on pipeline repairs.
Further to the above, the Honourable Minister of Petroleum Resources had also stated at a media briefing in May, 2012 that the country was losing about $7billion annually to crude oil theft in Nigeria, at the rate of 180,000 barrels per day. Indeed, President Goodluck Jonathan has acknowledged the scale and seriousness of crude oil theft in Nigeria as being incomparable to anywhere else in the world, describing the occurrence as being cancerous to the nation’s economy.
The Ministry of Finance has taken a middle ground, stating theft claimed 17 percent of daily production nationwide in April. Overall, estimates of crude oil stolen or spilled reviewed by the Task Force ranged from 6 to 30 percent of production, with 35 percent claimed for one especially troubled area. Based on these estimates, the Task Force believes Nigeria could be losing over N1tn per year to crude oil theft.
The Task Force does not endorse any of the numbers it received as solely authoritative. The bases for many were unclear, and the decentralized, secretive nature of oil theft makes it difficult for any one party to know the full extent of losses. There is a lack of consensus on the actual loss, naturally public records are not satisfactory in this regard but it could actually be as high as 250,000 barrels per day closer to 10% of daily productions.
However, submissions to the Task Force on oil theft suggest that the problem needs immediate attention.
NNPC and oil company data shows dramatic recent rises in theft and sabotage. For example, Shell claims it found at least 50 tap points on its 90km Nembe trunk line in January 2011 alone. Shell submissions to the Task Force showed average total losses in its operational areas climbing from 10,000bpd in late 2009 to over 50,000bpd in March 2012. Chevron reports 29 tap points for the year so far, and claims volumes lost from its operations in Q1 2012 exceeded losses for all of 2011. The NNPC put its total losses from 2009 to Q1 2012 at over 20mn barrels.
It appears small-scale theft and illegal refining are also becoming more decentralized and wide spread, though losses from such practices remain relatively small compared with the more sophisticated large-scale theft rings. In one striking example of rising costs, NNPC data shows the value of stolen crude along the 60km Forcados-Warri refinery supply pipeline was 600 percent higher in 2011 than in 2010. Total losses were N60 billion from this pipeline alone’ or N1bn of oil stolen per km of pipeline.
These incidences of crude theft also delay realization of revenues by deferring production. Shell has declared force majeure on onshore liftings five times since early 2011, all reportedly linked to illegal bunkering. One December 2011 stoppage, allegedly caused by two failed pipeline taps, took a month to fix and deferred over 4 million barrels. Damage to infrastructure also causes long-term production deferments. Government data shows dozens of fields sabotaged before the amnesty still sit idle. Shell’s onshore output’ currently around 600,000bpd’ is barely half of 2005 levels. In Delta State, Chevron still produces one third less oil than it did in 2008…”

Alleinad:
Buhari bought those weapons for boko haram. was he not mentioned as their spokesman? has he not openly stood up for Islamizing this country? has he not publicly said sharia law is the only law? Vote GEJ. GEJ has given us our first christian minister of finance, minister of petroleum, etc. Vote GEJ.

U are more clueless n dumbed. U shld b on 2go.com nt here!

Buhari/osinbajo to a new dawn.

I'm vindicated!

Jonathan is worse than EBOLA virus. We cnt afford anoda 4yrs of ds cluelessness. I get fear of going to jail is already gripping him n his army of thieves....change is here!

psucc:
My friend don't be deceived, BH is coming to take his own pound of the flesh.

He has nothing, absolutely nothing to offer except "corruption" but our prisons are already congested.

Dnt worry, prison will b enuf to contain even ur Mr clueless as I'm certain, he wld emerged d worst corrupt nigerian in history. Money laundered in foreign banks wil make abacha loot a child's play, trust me.

Why do u tink Jonathan has chosen to attack buhari's image in effort to poison d minds of nigerians using lies as against reeling out wat his govt has don or wil do to compliment d jobs on ground. Its a clear case of blatant failure.

Vote gmb/osibanjo for a new Nigeria..away frm badluck

Keep spreading unverified ear-say. He alrdy explained d reason for dat cancellation n his reason was satisfactory enuff so stop poisoning d mind of d pple who mean well n need a change to break d shackle of bondage frm ur slave master n cohorts. U cnt stop ds wind !

Sai buhari/osibanjo

Nobleval:
no,I THINK YOU ARE VERY WRONG,NIGERIANS ARE NOT STUPID AS YOU THINK.

U mean yorubas are stupid to elect a man who called their leaders rascas n marginalized for 6yrs? U dnt seems to knw us or perhaps u bn veiled by d paid crowd u saw yestdy? Hahahaha dnt make me laff.

My guy, Is either u allowed ursef to b hoodwink by pdp lies or u dnt live in Nigeria to see for ursef since d past six yrs hw tins had went frm bad to worst. I'll ask dis simple qstn;

If Jonathan has bn president for six yrs, extol d faultlines of his govt along corruption, insecurity, unemployment, bad economy, electricity n hw he has protected d constitution which is d sanctity of a nation. Today Jonathan has encouraged anarchy coz 16 is nw greater dan 19 in d govs forum electn. In rivers 5 lawmakers proposed to impeach d governor in a house of 30+, in Ekiti 7 is greater dan 19 for which 7lawmakers legitimate to pass a whole state budget.

Plus anythin u listen frm Jonathan's mouth ystday ar nothin bt all lies, only in an effort to cajole d electorate. Take for instance; it was Jonathan who absorbed MEND of any link to Oct 1 bombing in bid to hang it on d northern elites as alleged by Henry okah frm SA during his bail hearing. I watched it! hwever, watever went wrong btw MEND n Jonathan bt obviously they fell out n d former had endorsed buhari instead siting leadership deficient n corruption of Jonathan's govt. Secondly, Jonathan said buhari didn't buy equipment for d military durin his regime, but how did buhari fought meteisine to a stand stil? chadian rebels invaded borno n killed nigerian soldiers, it took buhari to puch dem back without even waitn on d president order. So u make ur decision but do so diligently n bear in mind dat, to deliver good governance is abt takin responsibilities which's lacking frm dis govt...dnt fget chibokgirls are stil in d hands of their captives wit some of their parents ar dead.

Over to u!

funkiebully:
Welcome on board alj harem.

GEJ was so on point today.

My sw friend in d office after watching d declaration, switched to GEJ camp and swore to vote for him come feb.

God bless Mr president, He meant well for Nigeria, forget about distractions

Wait till APC organize its own, u'll knw those who paid for crowd n those who d pple @his side.

mrnuur:
As we are happy seeing Buhari campaign peacefully in the South, I urge my northern brothers to b peaceful when GEJ visits the North.

Thank you.

But people was attacked n shot at @Rivers rally, I'm sure u're aware of dat n I havn't seeing any1 frm d camp of buhari mudslinging or insinuating sponsorship of such intolerance action to Jonathan or pdp bt wait let similar hapnd in d north n hear wat saTANists will b saying.

Any person in is right thinking will knw that buhari's deadbody is better off Jonathan's live presidency...u can see frm his rant yesterday where an incumbent president ws blaming everybdy for his govt failure n resorting to face glaring lies instead for his work to do d talking if he'd done well, instead he kept blamin everybdy forgetin he has bn in dat ofiz for good six yrs. With d way Jonathan was talking is either he became drunk with power n forgot d responsibilities reposed in dat ofiz or a clear case of ignorance n complete inept on his part. Excuses or reasons for failure is deficient of leadership quality. He didn't even realized d corruption his admin veiled else his reactionary statements yesterday.

Failure is written all over his forehead. Mr clueless idiat.

U're all welcome to this train of change. Ur life shall never b d same again. Let som1 shout alleluyah pdp sinking by d day.

maestroferddi:
Jonathan has made his point.

The agents of divisiveness and disaffection masquerading as statesmen should beware.

It is no longer going to be business as usual after Jonathan gets sworn-in for the second term.

No-one is above the laws of the land.

Made his point my foot! All those long sermon in effort to exonerate the corrupt govt he lead for six yrs. Even an unborn baby knws Jonathan is a corruptible president worse than even a motor park. He has lost It. Those reaction its a clear evidence of what he himself has seen on ground.

Everything has rejected him n as they say; the voice of man is the vooice of God.

Truckpusher:
After then you'll have different sets of thieves replacing them and they become smarter.
Listen to the man - He said the only way to fight corruption is by building INSTITUTIONS AND NOT BY MAKING STRONG MEN ,WHAT IF THE MAN CHAMPIONING THE ANTI-CORRUPTION MOVEMENT IS COMPROMISED?

A nation should build more of an institutions and not strong men as men are likely to fail but institutions are run by people with different ideology with a system that checkmates excesses.

A man fighting corruption can be assassinated - institutions with the right system can never be totally hijacked by some few corrupt men.

And what signs of that have we witnessed in the last six yrs under this current admi.? What effort has Jonathan made towards the direction he pointed to fight corruption? Except he means spreading corruption instead coz that's what his admini had done successfully in the last 6yrs of his govt. I actually was expecting him to show nigerians evidences on how effectively he has fought the cankerworm that has eating every foodstuffs out of the table of an ordinary man on the street. I expected he wld tell us how he dealt with Stella odua's $250m BMW or diezani many corruption profiles among which are 10billion for personal used private jet or what did he do against pension fraud scamer (maina)? What of oil subsidy fraud? What has Jonathan done to strengthen EFCC since he alrdy knw that its institutions that should fight corruption in govt? Jonathan also didn't tell us how 500billion got missing from SURE-P which was directly the reason its chairman (Chris olukolade) resigned from office? Jonath shld show us in his period of six yrs, what he has done to better the lot of nigerians if nt increasing poverty per excellent.

Let him stop embarrassing himsef for his failure and stil countin he has brought upon this con3. We need Jonathan out asap...his clueless is second to non; how do u explain assassination of a president by a group bn defended by the same president after a period of 7yrs down nigerians didn't knw this until the same group pitch their support base to opposition for the simple reason that u have failed. Let's assume the opposition is lying abt ur govt, is illary Clinton also when she said ur govt squandered oil funds? Is Chris olukolade when he recently attacked ur govt of bad leadership and corruption? Is the Rev Fr. Mbaka also lying over all. He told those mammoth crowd the opposition cast spell on him to say all long sermon in discrediting ur govt?

Nig is too big to be rule by a nonentity! Change is here. VoteGmb/PYO for the need change in our con3

About 1000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Former President Olusegun Obasanjo led by the former national treasurer and Obasanjo’s strong ally, Bode Mustapha yesterday defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, as the relationship between him and the national leadership of the PDP continued to deteriorate.



Mustapha, a former member of House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003 who had earlier submitted his form of intent for the Ogun Central Senatorial seat under the APC, led other members of the PDP out of the party, Vanguard reports.

He also warned the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Suleiman Abba against plunging the country into chaos, following his removal of the security details of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, an action he said could expose the number four citizen to risks.

“In Nigeria, we love sentiments a lot. Do we know what can happen to Nigeria if anything should happen to Speaker Tambuwal? Nobody knows! The IGP should not put this country on fire. He should immediately restore Tambuwal’s security aides until a court of competent jurisdiction declares his seat vacant.

“He was elected as the primus inter-pares in the House of Representatives. He was elected as leader by his members and it is only his members that can remove him as Speaker or a court of competent jurisdiction. Then and only then can his security aides be withdrawn.

“When people were defecting to PDP, it was hosanna in Aso Rock to the extent that Governor Mimiko of Ondo State defected to the PDP.

“But whatever is good for the goose is equally good for the gander. When Tambuwal defected, you withdrew his security aides. Why didn’t you do same when Governor Mimiko defected to the PDP because he was elected on the platform of the Labour Party, LP?.

The APC state Deputy Chairman, Alhaji Tajudeen Lemboye, who received Mustapha’s form however, promised that the party would provide a level playing field for all aspirants in the state.

Mr apologist! Did u dialogue with us on fuel subsidy where u treated us more worse than a dictative army Gen u wld want us to believed abt buhari by forceful the withdrawal of PMS (fuel) subsidy on the 1st Jan of a new year upon which nigerians reacted coz they cldnt afford transportatn back to their places of residence and troop to all nigerian streets to enforce their constitutional right embedded in the tenets of democratic norms. Mr Jonathan, do u still remembered hw ur action and response gave a predated description of what u've becom over the yrs coz u chosed to deployed war armed soldiers on unarmed nigerian civilians whose voting power made u their president. There're no better way to describe a dictator than u displayed. U failed in all front; u nurtured and institutionalized corruption and Nigeria is now known for her corrupt imagery like never b4 in our national life. U created committee upon committees but non of its reports was the light of the day less to think of execution. U shielded corrupt officials in all deliberate effort to shortchange nigerians and as a result ur govt cldnt punish nt a single person for having found guilty like faroq and otedola, stela odua, maina of pension scam, coupled with misappropriations of funds running into billions frm $20b, $45b and what happnd to $10b diezani jet scam nt even a single anction u cld tk against interior minister for causing the death of nigerians in the job scam saga where they scam nigerian of 1' running into billions but a job they never get instead they got death. There're too many to remember Mr president. U failed us and we think u're done, so many of us knw u only want to continue for those who have only work to impoverished millions of nigerians, we also knw u dnt have mind of visionary leaders; a leader whose out to look after the people. Mr Jonathan, leadership is all abt taking responsibilities bt even at that u also failed. U failed to protect the lives of the same nigerians u nw want their votes. The chibokschoogirls are still in captive owed to ur inpet and cowardice coz instead of taken responsibility u rather applied I don't care attitude and mumulicious attitude of us caused them their freedom and made worse by the death of their parents.

Pls vote wise, vote buhari let's see hw we can go.

Robertnnaemeka:
The op should mind his use of the word Igbo. There are more than 30 million of them and using the view of some to tag a whole people shows lack of understanding of diversity of view. One of the bane of Nigeria as a nation is the tagging of a tribe based on the action of some people from that tribe. This is highly unfortunate. So, let's learn to address each individual based on his view rather than rumping everyone together.

No need to deny nw Mr oga. Its a comon knowledge, igbos ar d1 sponsoring n spreadn smear campaign n Character-assassin on buhari, coz I knw many of igbo folks who finds it easy to link bokoharam amongst others to buhari..a maan who fought insurgency to a stand still during his regime...today pdp ar nw eatin up its words since nigerians nw knw beta n their calumnous campaign is rather working against itself hence its retraction.

I only pitied d gullible etrolls. Change is inevitable. Its alrdy here! Sai buhari

We told dem all saTANists early enuff that dey aint see nothin n we're only gettin close.

Imagine converting ds efforts in dealin insurgency, corruption n poverty, I'm certain I hv no doubt buhari won't even dare...but pdp jst want to continue bn power to keep pple growing in line of poverty.

GONGRATULATIONS Nigerians! For ur temerity doggedness for refusing to remain-line as pdp had predicted...they had proposed 60yrs bt they won't even hv a quarter.
