Smartestelvis: i disagree with u bro,never u underestimate our indigeneous engrs,even most big engineering firms here have some good foreign whites hired in them.majority of our engineeers bagged their degrees from foreign reputable universities so its a bit of a stretch to belittle and underestimate our brains here.....i expect you to direct ur protests toward s the corupt hags we have s leaders.....on a 2nd tot,do u know that the funds they even stipulate and anounce on media is rarely made available to contractors,dnt ask me where the funds disappears to.......
calebo101: Just privatize the refineries and let government only regulate it. I'm not for government owning anything. They have never managed anything from NITEL, NEPA, NPA, AIRWAYS, etc.
The Bureaucratic operational methods in Government circles wouldn't make them achieve anything unlike private firms who takes their investment serious. Just as we have MTN, ETISALAT, AIRTEL, and GLO all competing fairly in the market pushing down prices so will it be in years time if we can successfully privatize NNPC to the right hands.
Anything that is a closed system ie not open to competition "MUST" be managed by the Government, It is either the government wakes up or allow the institution to die, no go between. Refineries will not attract competition easily, if you sell it to individuals, the three owners will form a union and sell a liter of PMS for 700naira and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. be very careful what you wish for. Telecommunication is very different from oil and gas, you guys should snap out of Jonathan's 2012 lies and face the reality, by the time Nigeria gets constant electricity, the privatized power sector will be the first bomb to shake this country to its foundation.
Why do you think MTN raked a fortune before the arrival of competition? what if GLO never came? you will be buying a SIM pack for 50k till date.
GetUmad: I agree with some of your points but kai, clean your mouth small. I know of many schools in anambra with dilapidated structures and as well roads. Wouldn't want to derail the thread else I would have posted images . How good is Ukpor road now? Some of the schools in the rural area aren't in the best form. CHS ifite and Awor among many others come to mind. But overall, I doff my cap for the Governor.
How much tax are the rural inhabitants paying to deserve the best schools? If you want a good Govt school, relocate to the urban areas, pay your tax and get some services, CHS ifite?? be serious!!
You dont need any more encouragement again, your pretty wife is enough encouragement already, have you heard "Mgbajiaka" before? Congrats on your Solitary confinement
JayJustus: couldn't agree with you more...people on here just comment without proper knowledge of what they saying...that's how someone in one thread claimed oxygen tanks work with electricity...phewwww..
Not today we started entertaining Oshogbo dullards here!! Imagine
folabayo1: for the fact that I kept quiet and u still insulted me! U and ur generations will never know peace tears and failure shall always be ur portion ! From this day onward success shall turn ur enemy and u will live ur entire life in abject poverty until the day u learn to respect ladies...so shall it be(Amen) am expecting ur reply! Patiently waiting
What is your point exactly? After several years of research, you gave us a proof with mansonic symbols but you were unable to make the connection between free masonry and Illuminaty and the new world order. I have just one advise for you, be careful of what you wish for.
GBTYO: I must say that Buhari is living up to my expectations!
This is a man who I feared will allow tinubu and amaechi unhindered access to FG affairs but as things stand he is putting his foot solidly on ground!
Sooner than expected the zombie plebs in the Southwest will be reprogrammed by tinubu to reject Buhari.
Osinbanjo has already been pocketed. He is nowhere near any of the crucial decsion makings in the APC zonings and ministerial slots.
Come may 29, Buhari and the north will show the SW who really is in control
By which time, the sw will return to their aluta role of complaining The likes of Soyinka and Falana go talk and shout till they get tired.
Osinbanjo is an academic, he will definitely be pulling his weight in the background, watch out for policy formulations that will most likely interest him.
I don't know why most of you cannot reason beyond petty bigotry.
Ijaya123: Funny enough, talking about fuel subsidy removal, I think we are living in the era of no fuel subsidy already, that is considering how much fuel is being sold now. Assuming the govt officially remove subsidy today, will the pump price be any different from what obtains now?
It is not about government churning out policies and your ability or inability to adapt to it, it is about we as electorates to fix culpability where it rightly belongs.
lezz: Still hurting . when i told you your problems is beyond intellectual destitution, it was no troll.
you are emotionally and psychologically maladjusted.
your quackery you have displayed like fried turkey in a show-glass for all to see.
i told you your education never went beyond Google search.
you are only an example of the time- an era where mediocrity is embolden by simple ignorance.
where internet access has passed for formal education.
jpphilips, the time spent on the earth is not an indication you have grown and developed in mind.
you are a sore loser at best, an intellectual hazard at worse
and an ignorant fraud eager to be seen teaching what he hasn't finished learning.
now tell me how do you qualify someone you met in the internet whose only claim of being Ibo is an Ibo name and an Ibo phrase for her signature as an "authourity" in ibo history and culture ?
How so intelligent you are yet you are ignorant of the difference between a lie and an error ?
At the very height of your educational maladjustment, you claimed to know better than wikipedia and all the world's best dictionaries. i would have taken this for an honest mistake but alas, it isn't the first time you have proven to be nairaland's prince buffoon.
During our tete-a-tete in the military thread where i dealt you a nasty e-cut and exposed you for the intellectual fraud you are (you have followed me here in the hopes of healing your hurts and regaining your lost reputation), you had the scruples to challenge the written works and opinion of a serving Nigerian academic professor just in order to prove me wrong. hmn.
today you are also faulting wiki and current , traditional dictionaries just to get back at me.
Only cheap internet and an availability of mobile phones will make a jungle crab like you cross paths with me.
officially, i usually reach for a stick and allow you climb onto it like the termite you are ,and then fling you far into a virgin forestation where your only usefulness will be to eat and produce dirt in a circle of worthless evolution.
It is a pity after several engagements in different threads none of my greatness has robbed off a little on you.
if you are content with the tittle of being the roach on nairaland who is to say you were not given an alternative.
jpphilips you belong to the dogs and dregs of society.
defeat never parts company with you like stink never part with shiit!!!
Whynotthetruth: Since you said you visited the site; Provide a contradictory evidence to my video if you feel it is skewed notwithstanding it shows only a side of of the work not even everything...
Yes, from the time of contract award to now, work progress is commendable...
So long as you are satisfied with the level of job done, no problem, in life mediocres will always settle for less afterall, some of us after first degree didn't bother about education anymore, some got MSc, PhD etc. it is up to you to raise your standard of acceptance or continue accommodating mediocrity.
chmod777: Bro pls learn to acknowlede the good irrespectoive of where it is coming. Do not let mindset becloud your reasoning.tell me from history of western world, tell us which leader has accepted result. Before official announcement. All of USA and europe
To concede defeat even before election results were announced is buffoonery. Jonathan just told the world that he was not even ready to win, the postponement and drop in popular opinion is a great pointer to that. Jonathan knew defeat was eminent Jega's announcement was mere formality.
zicoraads: Mogidi, I love the part of what is happening in Burundi. It funny how some people were thinking that if GEJ had rigged or forced an amendment of the constitution to emerge victor, by hook or by crook, then America would have intervened.
Why are they not doing anything about Burundi? And, what has the protests led to? If Jonathan had wanted to win by force, he would have. People would have lost their lives(just like Burundi)but, the man would have still remained in Aso Villa.
He deserves every commendation that is, and would come his way.
The fate of Nations is not decided by how smart the citizens are or how dumb their leadership is however, it is decided by powers of interest on a global scale.
Let it be known to you that Nigeria can not be placed in tandem of consideration with Burundi.
Nigeria by population alone is housing the largest number of black people in the world. A single political instability like the one suggested to Jonathan will trigger a humanitarian disaster that will overwhelm the whole of Africa, the powers of interest will never allow it to happen and Jonathan knows that.
By virtue of being the president, he has operated at the biggest political stage to know what will befall him if he made any mistakes.
Jonathan did not save Nigerians, he actually saved his own life.
Obasanjo conducted 2 fraudulent elections and even wanted to go for an unconstitutional 3rd term.
Buhari's supporters sent over 1000 people to their early deaths in 2011 because Buhari lost.
Buhari's team made it clear that "should election be rigged, they won't go to court but will form parallel government".
Buhari accepted the 2015 results despite the fact that there was cleaaaaaaaaaaaar case of Almajiri kids voting for him. All because he was declared winner.
Despite the electoral skimish in the North, incumbent Jonathan had to accept the result because "his ambition is not worth the blood of anybody".
Truly, Jonathan is the only Democratic President Nigeria has ever produced. He's a complete gentleman and a Man of Peace.
He deserves the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize.
Shouldn't you wait for the probe report of his administration before basking in the Euphoria of a Nobel peace prize?
Well, Nobel prize is not really a yardstick for integrity afterall, Obama whose drone strikes have killed more civillians than any president in the world is a Nobel peace prize winner.
So long as Jonathan is getting whatever in Otuoke, I don't give a fvck.
Whynotthetruth: Bia, kpachapu anya gi... akparikwala onwe gi here tupu m nye gi enough insult ebea...gini ka ina asiri m am I OK?...
BTW work is ongoing both from Anambra and delta end of the bridge...Either way, it is a deviation from the past...I am yet to see any of you accuse APC chief consultant of scamming Igbo having used it as campaign material for 8years...Jonathan started the bridge unlike past leaders...let see if buhari will continue or cancel it...Fashola light rail which have delivery date of July 2013 with loan of $1billion is yet to be seen yet he's not a scammer to you APC minions...
when you say "work is ongoing" it is too vague to be employed in a meaningful discussion. Is the level of work commensurate with the 4yrs that just elapsed, yes or No? Remember there is a video evidence already.
It beats me how many educated Nigerians think that because Buhari has been unable tomultiply his wealth via application of new ideas despite the fact that Nigeria subsidses his existence through "immoral" pensions as military man who cvame to power through a coup
Mark my words buhari will try all power to fight corruption but he will fail because the thieves around him will outsmart him big tine
Buhari is not a creative manager of resources what he does wekk is managing what others have created
Every administrator or politician is a manager so, what is your point?
nzeobi: Being poor does not and can never make somebody a good president. Ideas brings wealth and development to a nation. Its quite unfortunate that we have a perception that every rich politician\person is corrupt or into occultism
What do you think? look at that silverbird guy who has a defined misson statement Bruce, that is how to know a technocrat. Know it today, most rich Nigerians are serendipitous. One way or another the system has been skewed to favor a privileged few.
Our idea of competition is competing amongst the privileged.
You want to counter a claim regarding status of a project, you opted to dig the messenger other than taking a trip to the project site, are you ok!!
I was there early this year and I saw nestoil dredger with some pilling work on going, that is a failure for an administration that made that promise in 2011.
Also Jonathan did a rail project and forgot to connect one of Africa's biggest sea port with the biggest market in west Africa, ironically it was the truck ladden with container on that route that destroyed the first bridge.
Jonathan scammed the Igbos, no doubt about that, I don't need Ohaneze to tell me what I can clearly see.
Whynotthetruth: let me help you winniz : to give him video link...

I didn't see the river niger end from your video, I didn't see the dredger
gab264: there ar things we are yet to understand in misery behind this natural disasters.......see men have forgoten their God who sacrifise his only son just to set man free...and this disasters only befall nation with less or no strong christians there,which includes (japan,china,india,nepal etc these countries have experienced much natural disasters in decades.............they still turn there bak to the almigthy God shmm.
Haiti has recorded one of the highest magnitude on richter's scale, they are mostly Catholics, what do you think about that?
anonimi: She should direct her "particularly instructive third tweet" to the Daura President and Borno elders who UNDERMINED our gallant soldiers fight against Boko Haram =>
President blaming Borno elders for Boko haram and you think it is cool? Have you been to anyother country even the earthquake ravaged Haiti?
I don't know who you guys are but ur opinion is nauseating. Borno elders should be begging Jonathan to condemn boko Haram after some strategic steps have been taken not the other way round. supporting a clueless man makes you clueless in return.
Donrissy: Well, to move to the next level, sacrifices must be made. Pres. Jonathan has made the sacrifice of press freedom of which he became a victim. Now every Tom,.Dick and Harry can say any gibberish. Can this woman come out during obj's tenure to attack the government at any slightest opportunity? oh I forgot she's his mistress!!
May God give us life to see how this woman and others criticize the incoming government where they get it wrong.
May 29 should be fast at hand so that Pres. Jonathan can take his leave since he caused the epileptic power supply, bad roads, etcetera that has bedevilled Nigeria since independence. Happy Sunday

lezz: you call someone an "authority " whose only qualification is an Ibo name.
you claim to know better than Wikipedia and all the modern dictionaries including Webster et al.
phew !!! in your attempt at getting back at me, you threw logic and common sense out of the window.
you stalked me for months and when you did find me, you were too desperate to pull your tact together.
your own logic has failed you, exposing you for what you are.
Igbo phrase not Igbo name, I don't expect a buffoon to know that. One thing is certain, you desperately want to learn, only a f00l will oblige you. when I read the nonsense you type here, I always wonder how old you are. Guess the national adulthood limit needs to be extended to accommodate people like you.
