anonimi:If E commerce is Jonathan's achievement, then we will kill Elephant for OBJ who provided the platform it runs. I am yet to see the "IROKO " in the forest of Jonathan’s achievements. it won't be long before you guys will mention Nairaland as Jonathan's achievement. In my opinion, he has done more harm to e commerce, Jonathan has introduced collection fee in all post offices for Ali express users even goods that the Chinese Government paid its freight, how does that encourage e-commerce? How is Jonathan supporting Konga and Jumia? are they tax free? Dont you know that the Chinese government pay freight for some goods you see on Alibaba. com? Backward Nigerians, even Jonathan's shaved armpit is an achievement. Has Jonathan provided a guarantee platform like Escrow for Konga and Jumia users. Trust me, Jonathan has not even heard of e commerce in his life. |
BraniacX:It is 3,000 not 300,000 even a dumb Jonathan would have easily spotted an auto correct error. Guess Jonathan is even smarter than most people calling for change. The Democrats campaigned for immediate troops withdrawal from Iraq, on getting there, they ended up increasing the number of troops. I won't really go into details why it happened that way to maintain the sanity of the thread. |
pacifique:Which equipment are the Chadians using that we dont have? |
BraniacX:The Republicans ensured that never again should America loose 300, 000 American lives to terrorists. Terry G won't understand that. |
Bridgetown:No single Boko Haram attack on Cadian soil since last year October, can such be said of their Nigerian counterpart? |
F22RAPTOR:Not really, he deserves 4yrs to do the needful. |
anonimi:Funny enough, they have just 4yrs to bring the desired change, my PVC is sharpened to do the needful if they fail, fair enough? |
yazz09:I don't live below poverty line truth be told, it is no reason for me to ignore the sufferings of my country men. Let me give you two examples where I drew my inspiration from perhaps it will form a model that will change your mind set. In 2012 during the Subsidy removal crisis, a man aged over 70yrs protested on the streets of Lagos in the person of Wole Soyinka, I am damn sure that Soyinka wont have a problem buying PMS at 200 naira per liter, also in 2014 Oby Ezekwesili led a protest for "bring back our girls" I am certain that none of her kids was kidnapped. Learning point; Irrespective of your comfort zone, you should lend your voice to the voiceless. |
jamace:When Manchester United won the Champions league in 1999, Sir Alex Fergusson Claimed the victory as much as Ryan Giggs. If Buhari had mismanaged that refinery project under his stewardship, there will be no glory left for Obj to claim, I am certain that pundits like you will not forgive him either. |
pekeyim:Under OBJ'S NIPP, Over 15 power plants are either completed or in the works, such efforts does not qualify as failure in my books. It is inappropriate to Juxtapose the second Niger bridge with Fashola's, however, the point of that assertion is that the second Niger bridge was a promise made to Anambrarians in 2011, I was at the head bridge on Tuesday, if the level of work I saw there is what Anambrarians feel they deserve after 4yrs, by all means, they should vote baba Joe. |
yazz09:I don't totally agree with you, If Jonathan really revamped the agricultural sector like you claimed, I expect the Govt Vertinary doctors to be on red alert, proactive enough to be dispatched to these farms for prompt response. Make no mistakes, the bird flu outbreak is a national emergency hence should be approached as such, If we are still at the level where the farm owners are expected to combat it on their own (just like I vaccinate trophy my favourite dog), then there is nothing new happening in that sector. I don't blame Jonathan for Bird flu, I bemoan the idea that a sector he claimed to have revamped does not have a proactive containment strategy for a national outbreak. This is common sense, it has nothing to do with being a grand pa. |
yazz09:Your submission lacks depth and content, when next you wish to counter a point, identify it then make verifiable counter submissions not blank statements. If you are educated, you should know the name of the president, Identify the projects and how much that was spent. After reading my submission and you write this, I feel cheated because I am not learning from you, perhaps in a bid to research out your facts, you will realize how obnoxious you sound. |
cooljude:What is dis one saying? |
cooljude:There is a 10yr window for the appeal, Jonathan was the president when the window closed, for a leader who has witnessed first hand the sufferings of Nigerians in Bakassi, it is only wise for him to appeal the ICJ judgement. |
yazz09:If your Agricultural sector is so high tech and improved, why did bird flu spread through 9 states in one week? . How did the above question give rise to your response? Some of you find English so difficult. Your response should not bother on how many countries that were affected but the rate of spread. In UK it didn't go past three farms, In Nigeria it plagued 9 states I ask why? for a sector Housing Jonathan's flagship of Achievements. |
pekeyim:If the things you wrote is what you deserve, by all means vote Jonathan next week. Before then, Do you know that Warri refinery as big as it is, was a 30months project? How long did it take Fashola to complete a semi hanging bridge in lagos? If you are impressed that Jonathan's leadership is about 2 uncompleted bridges in 6yrs, by all means, give him your vote. No point to lecture you on local content policy. |
cooljude:Should I reply you? |
There has been a tremendous turnaround in the agricultural sector of this nation since Jonathan regime. Before now farming was seen as a poor man business but today it's a different story.I don't really know the brand of mediocrity you are smoking but permit me to ask, what exactly did Jonathan do in the agricultural sector? How can a president be campaigning with SMS fertilizer distribution in 2015? are we that poor in spirit? If that sector is top notch like you claimed, why did bird flu spread through 9 states in one week? The problem I see here is that most of you are just not ambitious, Fertilizer distribution started since the days of Abacha's PTF but no government has ever talked about it, how did we descend so low? If you want to talk about Agricultural revolution, you should tell me how many Agricultural cooling houses that are attached to our cargo area in all international airports? You should tell me how many new farms have sprung up under this administration? You should tell me how many veterinary doctors were employed recently? How many irrigation projects were undertaken in the last four years? What is the percentage reduction in hunger in recent times? What is the percentage reduction in price of agricultural products in Nigeria today? How many Cargo airports were built strictly for Agricultural export? How many foreign investments did Agriculture attract in the last 4yrs? If any of the above happened, Nigeria will feel this paper agricultural revolution, it is not enough to employ an eloquent minister to be confusing Nigerians with rhetoric when a tiny fish is still selling for 5k in Ph. When I was in school, from primary to university there have been epileptic power supply in different parts of the country but today though we can't boast of 24hours power but we all know that it's "7 up".you really went to school? that is good to hear, this is what I was taught in school, I was taught that Obasanjo's NIPP has installed capacity of 15,000mw of electricity, so far, the project is almost 70% completed, the reason we are not feeling the impact of this progress is because the transmission infrastructure is very weak, and gas shortages, that is where I expected Jonathan to act on, for the past 6yrs, I am actually typing with a generator by the way, that is the only progress that needs to be made, the rest na wash!! His PIB is even proposing a DSO MODEL to curb gas shortages, imagine the insult. What of educational system in Nigeria that was almost dead, hence the trooping in of private schools all over the country. Not only is his regime building new schools but making government school teachers feel proud of the profession.In ASUU's voice ![]() The revamping of the Nigeria railway service is a very poor decision, that money if it was used to revamp our transmission lines, will give us a minimum of 18hrs power supply, Power will have more positive impact on our lives than the so called railways. As a matter of fact, if the rails were revamped for cargo purposes, it will be more beneficial to us than the present pleasure rides. Imagine a rail line that runs from Apapa to Onitsha? that rail project will take off 40% of heavy duty trucks from our roads, saving maintenance cost on the roads, Imagine a rail line running from Lagos to Kano then Kaduna? If Jonathan managed to get power right within this 6yrs, I will personally campaign for him. You still want more?No, but thanks for asking You say he is weak, that he can't fight boko haram? Let me ask you one thing, the alright USA, that I know you are praying to be a citizen of, searched for bin laden for 10 years before they take him out, but yet his boys still dey. ISIS has been terrorising for years now, USA plus other nations has not been able to take them out and they are claiming territories. But our president has fought boko haram not to a halt now but has paralysed them seriously.I really don't know what your social circle is but the information you have is pretty wrong, it took 10yrs for the yanks to kill Osama, no doubt about that, but I doubt if they never spotted him in several places before then, those are two different things. Osama was always spotted at different locations before the final Abottabad hit, it was the ingenuity of Condoleeza rice that delayed his death, she argued that killing Osama will be counter productive, that if you do that, someone more ruthless will wear his shoes (exactly what Shekau is doing to us), she rolled out a plan that will neutralize all the Alqaeda active cells in the middle east (Arabian peninsular) and the Islamic Mahreb, that operation covered over 50 countries according to Collin Powell. The essence is that if you don't neutralize those cells, there will be serious reprisals on American interest both home and abroad. You may not understand why Mustafa Mohamed Fadhil, Fahid Mohammed Ally Msalam, Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan, Ahmed Ghailani, Ahmed Mohammed Hamed Ali and Mushin Musa Matwalli Atwah. had to die before Osama bin laden. Please don't compare America with the kalo kalo we are doing at Sambisa forest, I saw the funny narrative on AIT, I couldn't believe that a gullible Nigerian will believe that gingle, guess I was wrong. ISIS in not America's war, they are just conducting air strikes with coalition forces, as I type, ISIS have lost serious territories since the air strike began. How did you paralyze Boko when they have made two attempts to take Maiduguri? when you had to cry in Paris for ordinary Chad to come to your rescue? |
cooljude:So what exactly is your point? call yourself giant of Africa at home, run to New york to seek assistance, then Paris to finalize the MNJTF deal right? with ordinary Chad, Niger and Cameroon abi? How about sending your boys to contain the threat and entertain them with medals? In 1997 when the president of Sierra Leone Alhaji Ahmad Tejan Kabbah was ousted, neither by rag tag militia nor rag tag terrorists, but dissidents factions in his professional military, armed to the teeth and led by Major Johnny-Paul Koromah, Nigeria under ECOMOG stepped in, after nine days offensive, our boys came home with victory, it might interest you to note that the inauguration of president Kabbah was Abacha's last foreign trip. On the streets of Freetown, Nigeria was once again revered as the true giant of Africa, now, that was the military Jonathan inherited, what is he leaving behind? a Military that runs to Chad for help, Chad whose @rse we kicked real bad in 1978? or Cameroon that we stationed our military on the Bakassi peninsular for over 14yrs and they couldn't cough? please don't provoke me, if you don't love this country, I do. Jonathan is an irredeemable failure, no amount of PR can package charcoal to become macleans. |
However, the Warri Refinery was awarded by Yakubu Gowon to Snamprogetti Spa Milan, Italy in 1975 (in this period, Buhari was the governor of North-eastern state) at the cost of $478 million and commenced operation in 1978 (now he was a Petroleum. Minister). It had the design capacity of 100,000 b/d.The procurement started in 1975 while construction works commenced in 1976, it was a two year contract and commissioned in 1978. It took the Astute Management of Buhari to have over seen that project. OBJ's NIPP met a lot of bottle necks because there was nobody like Buhari to manage it, it is not just about awarding the contract, its about keeping an eye on it, what if he embezzled money meant for the project within the 2years? will you have a refinery today? Stop talking nonsense!! |
jamace:why don't you help your dead education on their website http://www.wrpcnnpcng.com/about2.htm ""in 1975. The contract was for the design, procurement and construction of a new grassroots petroleum refinery in Warri. The design capacity of the refinery was 100,000 bpd and the project duration was 30 months. This project was completed and the Warri Refinery was commissioned in 1978" Buhari was GMD NNPC, 1976 to 1978, can you now stop scratching your scrotum. |
stagger:Educate yourself here on their official website. http://www.wrpcnnpcng.com/about2.htm |
Dreambeat:The youths are not ready, we tried Bankole, he stole us blind, we tried Jonathan he finished us, we have decided to revive either buhari or Obasanjo for sanity to return to the Nigeria's political space. Nigeria is a country that should be ruled by men not boys. When I read comments here coming from the supposed youth, I rather bring back Gowon or Shagari to power, this Indomie generation is a cancer, we need an astute leadership that will give them a sense of direction. |
rozayx5:Because you missed history lessons, he built the refinery as head of NNPC. |
pekeyim:Show me one country in the world where the opposition give in details its solution to the incumbent, just mention one? At the time Obama campaigned for change, he promised to withdraw American troops from Iraq, did he say how?did he tell you that he has located Osama and for a year 8months the Seal team 6 are making preparations for the hit? did you know that? Did he tell you that Osama's Abottabad residence has been under surveillance for over a year? He promised to neutralize the sleeping cells of terror as a global challenge did he tell you how? After the death of Osama no single retaliation on American soil or interests abroad, did he tell you how he did it? He promised health care to 80% of the American population, did he say how? Did he tell you during the elections about the chip they want to use to access health care? Second term; Obama promised to expand America's Energy interest, did he tell Mc cain of shale oil boom? did he tell him his Russian, Iran, Saudi Arabian plans of rendering OPEC useless? The Brazilian opposition took over from the incumbent and in their first term the Brazilian economy was so robust to join the BRICS, why did the opposition not divulge it to the incumbent? What about the strides of the Indian opposition? How about the present govt of Rouhani of Iran, did he tell Ahmadinejad his strategy of lifting western sanctions to better their economy did he? guess you know Obama is fighting with the republican congress because of Rouhani's diplomatic successes. What you guys ask from the opposition is totally unrealistic. What we as electorates have is the right to hire and fire every four years by dissecting the pedigree of the actors whether incumbent or aspiring, you don't have the right to ask anyone to give you his ideas free. It doesn't happen in any part of the world and Buhari is not stvpid to oblige you that. I equally watched President Jonathan's interview with Isha Seesay of CNN, Jonathan was asked thrice "Mr President what do you stand for?" Mr president had no answer to that question, that question was repeated thrice yet our PhD wielding president had no answer to that simple question, not until it was degenerating to an embarrassing turf, Seesay skipped that part. Fast forward to Dec last year when Jonathan granted NTA an interview, he automatically became a genius, could you believe that he actually quoted in figures the tonnage of fertilizers distributed to farmers so far, can you beat that? I needed no Juju to tell me that this man have studied this question before hand, is it the charade you want to see in the name of debating? If Jonathan knew he would love me to watch him debate in 2015, why has he not overhauled the transmission network of PHCN in 6yrs? If OBJ could launch the NIPP of $16b, to build plants that are set to generate 15,000mw of electricity, why is Jonathan dragging his feet to over haul transmission which is the only challenge we have and probably, the gas pipping networks? This second phase if far cheaper than the first phase yet over $20b was stolen under his watch. Haven't we suffered enough? Just like Soludo said, there is no Iroko in Jonathan's forest of achievements, now this is what it means. When you mention OBJ, NIPP, New NAFDAC, EFCC, Consolidation, Privatization, PSC, UBE, GSM all come to mind, this is a government that messed up big time but still left an Iroko in its forest of achievements, when you mention Jonathan, all you hear is Sub standard trains, nothing more, is that all you deserve in 6yrs? where are Jonathan's "Iroko"? resurfacing airports that Skytrax does not agree with? or surfacing roads? or fighting with Amaechi? where is the "Iroko" of this administration? You win, and sure P? ![]() You mentioned holding people in detention without trial, it is very wrong, the 1999 constitution was what stipulated 48hrs maximum, if there should be an extension it should be granted by the court to enable the police conclude their investigations. During Buhari's regime, human rights records were generally low, world over including the united states, the United states historians till date have not unanimously agreed that Oswald killed John F Kennedy, which crime is higher than killing a serving president of the United states? that will give you an insight to the inefficiencies at the time, 1964 was exactly 20yrs before Buhari in an underdeveloped African country, why are you expecting Buhari's 1984 to be perfect and efficient? It is appalling when people use the phrase "unlawful detention" to cast aspersion on Buhari, "decree 4" was the law and it said the secret police can detain till investigations are concluded, so what is unlawful about that? whether it is morally right, my answer is a big NO, but when I pick my history books I see that it was the life that was obtainable at the time. Political prisoners don't have much luxury of Justice world over at the time, let us start with the actor, Buhari, after he was ousted by IBB, he faced 3yrs incarceration without trial. Lets go to south Africa, Under the Apartheid government, Nelson Mandela was detained for 5yrs out of the total 27yrs he spent in prison. In Singapore, Chia thye Poh has this outstanding history "Detained under the Internal Security Act of Singapore for allegedly conducting pro-communist activities against the government, he was imprisoned for 23 years without charge or trial [/b]and subsequently placed under conditions of house arrest for another nine years – in which he was first confined to the island of Sentosa and then subject to [b]restrictions on his place of abode, employment, travel, and exercise of political rights.....wikki In Europe the Father of human rights, recorded this event in history, Muhammetguly Aymuradov, the longest-serving political prisoner in Turkmenistan, has been released after serving more than 14 years in jail, Even United states under the watch of Amnesty international is still unlawfully detaining suspected terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, some of the suspects have been detained for over a year without trial, and it is happening in this our generation let alone the 80's. Do not misconstrue my intentions of digging out these historical events, I am in no way in support of human right abuse, however, demonizing Buhari on that grounds without pointing to the fact that such was the world they lived in is misleading. About Ekwueme and Shagari, Buhari admitted that even though his Government has usurped Shagari's government, as a sitting president of Nigeria, he deserved some respect. you are looking at the small picture, do you know what it means to place a president on any type of arrest? a serving president with all his luxury and state apparatchik? At the time President Morsi of Egypt was ousted by the military, he was never thrown to prison till an interim successor came on board, all the while he was in detention, he was placed under house arrest. Let me quickly remind you that the office of a president is an "INSTITUTION" not a "PERSON" in fighting corruption, you don't treat a serving president with disdain, else you will be making a mockery of the office you are occupying, it is the practice world over and Buhari knew that, it is no selective justice, Shagari was lucky to have been the president at the time. Why do you think that the 1999 constitution has an "immunity clause" for serving heads of state? It is called "presidential privilege" because it is not easy to be one. |
Uchelucky:I wish to remind you that the God I serve if he is the same you serve said in Psalms 109:8 "Let his days be few; and let another take his office". Jonathan has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is unworthy of the office of the Presidency, come Feb 14th, I will do exactly as God has instructed. The God I serve have no room for incompetence. |
ocelot2006:According to the Chadian commander yesterday, Fotokol was under the control of the Cameroonian BIU at the time, the Chadians are yet to be deployed there. Fotokol was a resupply base for BH so they (Chadians) least expected it to be attacked so soon reason for the late deployment, I hope you remembered that 4days before the attack, the Cameroonian authorities started a massive evacuation of residents, same cannot be said of Nigerians who have suffered a similar fate, at least for the areas captured so far, it could have been worse, thanks to the pro active thinking of the Cameroonian authorities. If I were you, I will wait for the Chadians to launch their counter offensive before we draw appraisals, like you confessed, the Chadians are damn good at what they do. Haven said that, the competent Nigerian Army has ceedeed territories so much that BH is so emboldened to try their luck on Maiduguri twice, which could have been the beginning of the end for all of us, considering the fact that Maiduguri is home to most displaced persons from other restive areas and seat of Government. We also know that not until the Arrival of the Chadians and their French surveillance aircraft and intelligence support, those ceedeed territories are already off the Nigerian map, so we know who is really doing a good job. We also know that Baga the MNJTF head Quarters of Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon fell the moment Chad and Cameroon withdrew their troops, just out of curiosity, why did we loose that base? could it be because the warriors just left or we are not upto the task of holding the front at the exit of the warriors? #just thinking aloud# You can continue deceiving people whom Jonathan deprived electricity to watch the news definitely not me. That reminds me, were you not the officer who does not know the difference between an insurrection and a civil war? let me hope that you have improved over time, else you are not worth the stress. |
ocelot2006:The South Africans are standing by for more of your rebuttal on the other thread, that will be a good start if you ask me. |
ollyruffy:Please do, you have my unfettered permission so that Nigerians will know exactly what they are getting themselves into |
slimmy05:Jonathan's illiterate wifea is a permanent secretary in Bayelsa state. Fair enough? |
omojustice:lolzzzzzzz |
biafranqueen:Programmes like running Generator to watch his clueless debate? |

Rather than posting us to several places, just ask Cambridge to release the results..
