The APC will be the majority in the house in the next dispensation. So passing the budget shouldn't be that much of a bottleneck after finetuning certain grey areas. Abeg October seems like eternity to begin to see any changes. Buhari this is not what we agreed na,you promised to hit the ground running. Lately i've noticed how you've been lowering expectations with anecdotes like 'i am not a miracle worker', 'i can't promise to find the girls', 'i can't promise to end boko haram in two months' etc,etc.
This is a complete turn around for someone who vowed to send down fire from heaven to cleanse the entire country and turn it into a paradise. Anyways, we'll be watching and listening with rapt attention. In any event,i still want you to do well because at the end of the day,a prosperous Nigeria will still be to the greater good of all Nigerians and by extension,Africa.

Removing subsidy is necessary but it has to be done within a reasonable time due to sensitivity and undue hardship it may bring to the common man.

They probably have to get the refineries working first then systematically remove it as promised

I like the realistic power generation target as it can be easily measured year on year

This is a no-brainer:
"7. A very LEAN government is the focus; this will involve resolving overlapping and redundant MDAs; largely in line with the Steve Oronsaye presidential committee report; this report was available to GEJ’s government but the will to implement it was absent"

mumbasa:
ELECTIONS IN THE NORTH WERE FREE AND FAIR AND THEY MET ALL STANDARDS RIGHT?

He said you were just a tool but i say you are a FOOL

Raymondenyi:
I'm a staunch apc supporter, I campaigned massively for Dakuku, but please let's allow sleeping dogs lie, the PDP have won, they re quite popular in rivers state, let us allow sleeping dogs lie , better still put hands together and build our state, or channel our grievances to the appropriate quarters... but as for me, i have bowed out, congratulations to wike, I draw the curtains close...... I'll play my part to make rivers a better place.

ShowYourCertificate:
They achieved their aim in removing Jonathan, the minority president, and foisted a northerner on us. Very soon the girls will be found by Buhari when he assumes office. Who do they think they are deceiving?

100dollarbills:
Chief, ur write up is a bit contradictory. First of all N5.9m cannot set up an LPG plant. No! Not in this Nigeria. Have u considered the cost of land for the plant? That alone will gulp close to N20-30m depending on ur location. Of course LPG plants are usually located in cities, not villages. And going by DPR's pre-approval inspection,the plant site must be 4plots of land (400m away from main roads and no obstruction of power lines ROW). Except u r talking of roadside LPG cylinder-retailers and that does not require N5.9m to start-up. A DPR standard plant that turns out an average of 1000 cylinders (12.5kg) goes for N15m except u r talking of the latest China-made make-shift plants which costs N9m. I'm in the process of building a plant in Port Hrcourt so I know what I'm talking about

XBLadez:
Don't mind the fools saying it was rigged. It's almost as impossible as PDP winning in Kano, the heartland of terrorists, cows and shoemakers

Billyonaire:
Committee ? I thought Committee was a bad word.... This BullHari should do fast and stabilize the price of crude oil.

if u think u got bolls try insult me

PPAngel:
Buhari's candidacy, campaign and eventual palace coup on our democracy where ochestrated from Washington.

Buhari's only vision for contesting the election is to become president. The man has nothing to offer when he is sworn in. The white house was desperate for regime change in Nigeria because Nigeria was already diversifying it's external reserves which was based on the dollar to other currencies.

Buhari was only considered because he is a northern muslim who enjoys wide fanatical support from his illiterate almajiri constituency and also because effective propaganda on the ever xenophobi and anti igbo SW electorate was achieved.

A Buhari candidacy is a win for JP Morgan and the US Federal reserves.

This is the latest neo colonial conquest in the 21st century and it took ignorance in the north and shallow intelligence and "I too sabi" mentality in the SW to achieve.

We knew what Rivers was before Amaechi became Governor. We knew how the state was militarised and citizens had to raise up their hands when walking in Public. We knew how land owners exhorted us indiscriminately. Amaechi came in and dismantled all these and a new order was put in place.
The turmoil currently being experienced in Rivers isnt because of Amaechis incompetence (he has done it before and he has what it takes to do it again) but the undermining of his authority from the center. Amaechi is known to chase and hunt down thugs. The thugs u see out there are wikes. The same set of people he unleashed during his cursed era in Obiakpor.

Gejpresident:
New Beginning!
I was left in tears when i read President Goodluck congratulatory message to Gen. Buhari

I was not crying because i felt like crying, i was not crying cause i supported him and he lost, but i cried cause his words arrested my emotions.

He wished his opponent a good administration ahead, he congratulated him and accepted defeat.

I could remember by this time in 2011, Buhari never accepted that he lost, he promised Jonathan that he will make his administration ungovernable for him and he later fulfilled his promise.

His supporters took to the streets and slaughtered innocent Nigerians but he never stopped the killings.

But today, he has won that same man that defeated him in 2011 but got a congratulatory message instead of threats.

He has wished him success and not promising him an ungovernable tenure.Few weeks to the election, the people we call our leaders were busy sending threats to themselves and leaving the poor masses gripped with fear.

Some people left the country with fear of the aftermath of the election. But today you'v restored peace by accepting defeat peacefuly.

Oh! Jonathan, you've shown us that you'r a Goodman. You'v shown African leaders the true definition of democracy. You wished not to influence the elections with your powers, you wished not to cancel the election when you can do it and nothing will happen.


Posterity will never forget you where ever you go. I am still your fan for life. You'r a good and gentleman but surrounded by ingrates and fools that care for their pockets alone.
Oh Jona! You lost the election but won our heart....

You are a walking-dead fighting a lost course . Funny how you raise questions I never asked and responding to what you assumed was my meaning.

You are asking questions based on what YOU TAUGHT I MEANT. What a waste of humanity you are!!


You want the word "blacklist" to be found in the source that has quoted ecowas excutives asking gbagbo to hand over power or face military action. A source which has revealed the West African Central Bank blocked gbagbo from accessing state funds.

You have so much in common with your South African friends: shameless denial, enemy of truth. You're a little minded, petty troll who has been exposed as a carrier-troll. You know so little.


keep rephrasing your questions as I flush you into the sewer pipes where you belong.


A WHO certfied schizophrenic toad like you have the imbecility to question Prof Yemi because we have cheap internet these days.

Son, you have been knocked out of the ring. you don't have the muscular facts and literary skills anymore to put up a fight.

If you want to be a negative Nigerian critic, then arm yourself with a little knowledge, not blind rage.


You never knew Libya invaded and tried to occupy northern Chad.


You never knew Ghadafi was the brainchild of the AU


You never knew the French was uncomfortable with Nigeria's West Africa leadership.


You're just a pretentious gay South African lover.

You're not qualified to be here. you are a gate-crashing local champion.

I have witnessed you being whooped on other threads as well


so you and mediocrity never seem to part company.
Next.

No. 1----- the BBC reports that president Jonathan who happened to be the ECOWAS president, after an emergency meeting in Abuja, officially recognised the prime minister as the president-ellect and demanded the gbagbo government to step down. Jonathan also offered him refuge in Nigeria and gave him an option of military action or peacefully handing over. What's more , The West African central Bank blocked gbagbo from accessing funds of Ivory Coast. www.bbc.com/news/world -africa-12077298

Where does it say that Ivory coast was "BLACKLISTED" from ECOWAS Dont you know what Blacklist means?
Show me where blacklist was written in that article.

This was your initial comment,

"During the ivory coast presidential issues, ecowas had already asked gbabo to step down and blacklisted his government from ecowas. Military intervention was being discussed on the table."

You can neither curse nor lie your way out of this one, so try harder.

No 2----- You demon of the internet, I never said ghadafi PREDICTED the disintegration of Nigeria because of the united Africa nonsense .

Ghadafi CALLED for the outright breakup of Nigeria onto smaller states which he later changed to two states along religious lines which is quite different from what the US did.
The US merely predicted the likely breakup of Nigeria which she even denied.

Ghadafi seeked a weakened Nigeria which will make the entire west Africa vulnerable to exploitation and puppet governments. Nigeria has been oppossing ghadafi ever before the united Africa crap. Charles Taylor which Nigerian led ECOWAS eased off was a close ally of ghadafi. www.pambazuka.net/en/category.phb/panafrica/

"Ghadafi as one of the oldest and wealthiest African leaders has asked for the au to morph into a single country with him as president.
His expantionist agenda is what Nigeria had always kicked against."

"At the heat of ghadafi's ouster in the Libyan civil war, Nigeria wanted ghadafi out because of his expansionist agenda in west Africa. Viewing Nigeria as a threat to this plan, he has called for the disintegration of Nigeria. Consequently Nigeria was the first country in Africa to officially recognise the rebel fighters

NO.3---- many Nigerian doctors are practicisng in Saudi Arabia which isn't a proof of any indication in that country. Quite unlike south Africa who clearly lacks the required quantity of qualified medical doctors to fill in there general hospitals.

No.4----- You keep embarrassing people unfortunate enough to bear your cursed name.

You claim south Africa was the brain child of the AU. I supplied you proof it was ghadafi. You are still a lame ignorant imposter and a fraud. The link on no.2 suffice here.

No. 5----- France was bluffing and never threatened. You are a foolish kid. I followed that event very well and the Nigerian army dealt with the Cameroonian gamdems. And our defence minister said this famous quote " Nigeria will walk into Cameroon, France or no France" that was when Cameroon RAN to the ICJ. Why did Cameroon initiate the court proceedings if she really trust France to attack? You are a certified, bona fide dummy.

"Bakassi was settled legally by the international court. Nigeria led by example and didn't use her might to swallow Cameroon"

with Total oil and other billion dollar investment in Nigeria, FRANCE CANNOT ATTACK .

No.6-----i said West Africa and not Africa

NO7----- where did i make that very assertion? you walking failure in human form.

"AU has proved with Libya, Ivory coast and Mali that they are an unserious organisation, do you expect serious countries to be active in an unserious organization? AU is meant for unserious countries like Nigeria not Egypt".

you asked why Egypt has remained passive in AU, well not only Egypt but all of north Africa are essentially middle eastern!!!

Egypt isn't African any more than Turkey is European. Occupying the geographical space of Africa or Europe so rare a times don't cut it.Egypt situated in Africa only makes her African geographically. She is the leader of the Arab world.

My question is this; Since Egypt is an active AU member but remained passive in her affairs, yet a formidable force in the Arab league, don't you think it is because AU is an unserious Organization for serious countries like Egypt??

"You said we are not suppose to get Ebola, blah blah blah. That no screening whatsoever at the airports. Should I remind you late sawyer was a diplomat who came into Nigeria officially? How did Ebola got into mighty USA or even Spain?"

From your posture and litrary language, you are a struggling student who should be busy with homework and cautious to know if you can obtain a degree.

I have made the sacrifice of educating you and allowing you access into my hallowed secrets of learning and research.

I shall be deeply saddened by anything other than an enlightened, sober-minded jpphilips, who has been dressed with the garb of sophisticated intellect and political debate by Leslie.

And do not forget to pay due respected to me before and after each and every post you make. You know my requests are a little conservative given what you have just learnt today.

omonnakoda:
It is useful for people to be able to say what they think without hindrance.So calling me evil does not further discussion.It is only a distraction as that would only lead to an unproductive exchange of abuse e.g where would it lead if I retaliated by wishing death on your mother and father. We need to learn how to debate without getting personal.That is how I see it and that should remind us there are always different perspectives.For that reason it is better to avoid violence of war or of chatrooms. Let us do things in a civil way.No one has a monopoly of lunacy

1. You said "Ígbos have not been favoured in federal projects" and you said again down in your argument "I don't see any maginalisation anywhere"

This is the definition of maginalisation "The process whereby something or someone is pushed to the edge of a group and accorded lesser importance. This is predominantly a social phenomenon by which a minority or sub-group is excluded, and their needs or desires ignored".

Could this be in line with principle of giving only GBP 20 to all Igbos not minding how much they had as bank balance?

2. You want the SEasterners to shift with power? That is not politics. Politics is about ideology and principles. It is not harlotry.
I supported GEJ and I will still support him against Buhari any day because I know what he has done not because he is Igbo or from the SS. He stands for the economic liberation all Nigerians need.

i. GEJ failed because the US and the UK wanted him out,

ii. the north wanted power back such that even PDP governors in the North compromised. They either did nothing or rigged for Buhari in the North

iii. Jega was mandated to deliver Buhari by the North and the US. So he did what he had to do to disenfranchise GEJ's favoured area. He refused to authorise the use of mannual voting till late while my friend in the North told me they had no problem. They used manual accreditation from the start.

I really do not want to go into this bro.

iamrealdeji:
The fault is on Ojukwu that refused to concede defeat,don't blame anyone but Ojukwu

omonnakoda:
That i your opinion. The fact is that the food that was being sent to those so called innocent women and children was being appropriated by Biafran Troops That had to STOP. So let us stop the emotionality and deal with reality.It was a war not inter-house sports. War is not meant to be fun so once you go to war you expect a lot of bad things to happen.

omonnakoda:
First of all Let us agree that we shall not start abusing each others families.Respect is reciprocal.Let us shun silly personal remarks.
It helped to end the war though the number you state is debatable have you any evidence? Even today economic sanctions are a standard tool against intransigent evil regimes so no biggie.Only a callous leader would see the writing on the wall and persist in folly while his people perish like cockroaches.That highlights how fiendish Ojuiku was

omonnakoda:
Sorry but the strategy helped VERY MUCH.It was da bomb

agabaI23:
Find out what US did so many years after Hiroshima.
But you talk about forgiveness if an act has stopped. £20 of all they had in the bank and there is unwritten law to make sure they do not progress. These guys fly in and out of the country but it took an Igbo aviation minister under SS president to have one international airport in the SE. She was attacked in the social media for that and idea was ridiculed. How do you talk about forgiveness when the rest of the country still see you as a rebel and sore thumb? The people inflicted this wound are around and brag with it. Check OBJ statement in Bayelsa recently. Even your president elect. Etc

I don't think about this because to me it means nothing but people should not talk as if the oppressors have stopped

Symphony007:
Tomorrow, nigerians will be shell shocked and the political class thrown into disarray as former president olusegun obasanjo just this morning returned 200 million dollars to the federal government and promised to release names if those who do not follow his lead and return "what belongs to the Nigerian people" as he put it, an official announcement of this development will be made tomorrow, Thursday, 9th April 2015.

EVarn:
A dog will always bark,even if you shove a gagg down its throat.jpphilips is not only a dog but also a cockroach.
He deludes himself by thinking of himself as a genuine outspoken Nigerian who is advocating for transformation,he thinks that spouting treason makes him a true citizen who isnt blinded by patriotism.
But in the end,he is just another psycologically constrained barbarian.

lezz:
your quote itself is a long distraction and takes up an entire page. Events have overtaken you. Stop fighting a drowning man's battle. You got whooped, ridiculed and reduced to a standing pack of debris.

Now stop recyclind questions which have been dealt with last month here. Move along with the issue at hand and I promise you more e-blows to your thick skull.

Does it change the fact that you are mentally incapacitated to address the questions there in?

Bros, address the questions you bloody coward, name calling will not save you this time, I AM BACK FOR YOU!! (thank God for elections),In case your brain could not sieve out the questions, I will help your dumb soul

The questions are;

1)can you prove to this honorable house that ECOWAS blacklisted Ivory coast in 2011? Let me remind you that you claim to know too much as such, to get the evidence won't be a problem, please do not tactically maneuver out of this for any reason whatsoever, it is either you are proving or you are shutting up completely.
I will neither read nor respond to any other gibberish that doesn't have the proof i asked for.

2) Prove that Ghaddafi predicted Nigeria's disintegration because Nigeria and other countries rejected the United States of Africa, any strenuous analogies and unverifiable claims will NOT be read.,

3) can you in clear conscience assume that Nigeria is a lord over Saudi Arabia because our doctors took refuge there??

4) Who was the first chairperson of the AU? one single answer of a name and probably date, any other strenuous crap will not be read.

5) Do you agree that Nigeria was threatened by France before we agreed to hand over Bakassi?

6) Prove that France is uncomfortable with Nigeria hegemony in Africa, and what are those Hegemonies?

7) Prove that the African Union is more organised than the Arab league.

Compare the Nigerian first Ebola case with the United states first Ebola case.

Remember that name calling is just an attitude, answers to questions shows your intelligence, all the questions up there were all your claims hence we implore you to do justice to them, dont let your brain down this time.

MikeCZAR:
Nope, it was the French who saved Mali cause there was no Leadership in ECOWAS.

davestead:
Please bro, presidency has never gone to the Igbos and I didn't see the Igbos' progress regressing since then. Whom presidency don help self?? The fact that Jonathan or Buhari isn't Igbo doesn't make them less Nigerian, nor the fact that the Igbos haven't had any President doesn't deny them their citizen rights. So drop that Presidency brag...it's for drunks @ a beer parlour.
