Boko Haram has always claimed that they have 100% support of the locals and here comes the elders' committee shouting foul against the JTF, Something is fishy. And BTW why has no serious voice from the entire North come out to condemn these terrorists? Why? Military occupation is something that nobody should have, but the Borno people asked for it. They shielded terrorist for too long!

This is really good. I have heard so much about developments in Enugu, am tempted to take a short holiday there soon.

@Akainzo: good one. This article is as daft as the reply produced by Reno Omokri in Sahara Reporters today. It is quite an immature write-up.

Tell me one good thing  he did in the House to help the over 35m jobless nigerian youths. If he is innocent he has nothing to fear.

Shame on both of the Wigwe's for further soiling the battered image of nigeria.

BTW Desmond and his nollywood folks should do a movie titled The High Com.

Welcome to Aso Rock Recycling and Transmutation Plant

UBE has already made provision for fee and compulsory education up to JSS 3 Infact according to UBE website one of its objectives is "Ensuring an uninterrupted access to 9-year formal education by providing FREE, and COMPULSORY basic education for every child of school-going age under". Rochas may wish to extend it to SS3.

Apart from this can the man tell us how he intends to bring Imo back to reckoning, having been bastardized by Udenwa and Ohakim?? What exactly is he going to do to achieve that mid class he talks about. Enough of this free education talk.

Is this authentic? Source please.

The reveletions from Guyman02 and Enyejo are scary. So no end to darkness in sight yet? When i changed my Gen set this January, i was hoping that it would be my last Gen. Seems i have to adjust my assumptions. I want to believe that all you guys are alarmists. Surely GEJ knows that a failure in his power policies is a failure of his administration.

@Poster: I actually agree with you that Rochas is also suspect. So is Ararume. And certainly so is Ohakim. (I dare not think of visiting my village during rainy season, thanks to all the road Ohakim is busy building in DSTV using photoshop) What i dont understand is why we Imolites have found ourselves between the devil and the deep blue sea! It seems whatever happens we are condemned to bad governance for the next 4 years! God help us.

I rejoice wit my people that the disgrace called Ohakim is out. That guy almost made me to denounce my motherland!  Now about Rochas, time will tell if he is same of the same. I pray that i can talk about him like i talk about Fashola.

Sun of god:
Amen,

GEJ - 2011 - 2019

This is so funny and scary!

please give me a few minutes to scan it. i dont think i can print it. i will ask the friend who gave them to me.

Wao, i never knew this thread has been here. My personal experience in Lagos is that it is easy to win votes for BB in Lagos. It has even become easier for me since a friend supplied hundreds of handbills and logo cards to me. Since i work in contruction sites, i just cast my net wide and you can imagine the catch! Kudos guy. BB is a good product. The emphasis on corruption sells alot. Nigeria's case is one of a leaking bucket, we need to patch up that leakage (corruption) so that it can sustain water (development). I know many guys around who are really doing a lot.

londoner:
You should have presented the evidence of transformation you are telling everyone exists. If you cant even be bothered to do so, it would have been better not to create this thread in the first place.

My dear, there is none. That is why in one particularly annoying campaign advert he tells Imo citizens that he will turn Imo into a UTOPIAN state within 4 yrs. While Fashola, Amechi, Akpabio and co and advertising what they did in the last four years, Ohakim is asking us to dream dreams! The most annoying part is that these adverts are in cable networks! Thank goodness the citizens of Imo have risen against this guy.

The day i confirm that the BB team has anything to do with either OBJ or IBB, my vote, my families' votes and my friends' votes will be lost by Buhari. If what is narrated is true, it consolidates my resolve to vote for and campaign more for the BB ticket. The root cause of the corruption in government today is Godfatherism!

master j:
I am typically disappointed with the opposition. Without a doubt, BRF has done very well but what reference point can we use? prior to his ascendancy, Lagos state was in a mess, so we were really hungry for some change. my hope was that some of this new guys (mere actors i dare say) would offer better options by proposing a wholistic approach to some of the very salient problems but all i heard was mundane bits about coconut and fish!!!!! (ninu gbogbo nkan to wa ni ile yi!!!) MY ONLY HOPE IS THAT BRF WOULD TAKE SOMETHING AWAY FROM ALL THE CRITICISMS IN HIS SECOND COMING AS GOV e.g OVER TAXATION, INSECURITY, LACK OF CREATIVE INGENUITY IN REVENUE GENERATION ETC.

My thinking exactly! In 2007 fashola outlined his key performance indicators and everyone that followed that campaign knows that he has achieved them. But am not happy that he is not setting himself clear measurable goals in this second term. His campaign has been centered on the good works he has achieved in the 1st term. My hope was that the opposition would box him in a corner and bring out the best in him. But they didnt. When you go against a sitting government, you spend time and resources in research and strategy. Campaign is not all about posters and jingles! We all want the best for Lagos and for now Fashola is the only option.

yinka85:
Is that my Beaffy over there?

If the above quoted statement sincerely came from you,then you should join the campaign to chase PDP cohorts out of the corridors of power.

We could persuade few progressives among them like Govs Amaechi and Akpabio to govern thier various states as independents, if they choose not to join other progressive party platforms.

I would have even given your beloved GEJ some benefits of doubt if he wasn´t dinning and winning with perpectual treasury looters.

My sentiments exactly. It is a PDP thing. BTW JEG was not in Ibori/Yaradua's camp. That was why Ibori made all the effort ensure GEJ did not take over from the dying man. When his game plan hit the rock, Ibori ran for his life. So give Beaf a break on this one.

Go Fashola! Abeg how can we key in? We need details of the existing ones and the new ones to come.

There is something very refreshing about the campaigns! For once in Nigeria’s election history, the incumbent feels threatened. For once we know that VACANCY exists in Aso Rock. We are mindful of what is happening around the world. I am not talking about Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia or even Libya; I am referring to Ghana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Niger and possibly Benin where the power of incumbency has been demystified. BB campaign train is taking a very important message to the people, the same that Obama took some years ago.

That message is CHANGE. Considering what we’ve been through, that is a message we want. Unfortunately for GEJ, he cannot and will not be able to take this message to the electorate, because he and his party squandered the 12 years of goodwill of the Nigerian people. He could still have done it if he had distanced himself from the people that had heaped misery after misery upon the Nigerian populace in the last 12 years; the OBJ’s, the ANENI’s, the CIROMA’S, the ATIKU’S, the IBB’s, the GEORGES, etc. But he didn’t because he is entangled with that nightmarish 12 years. So I want to break away from that past and start anew, I want to wake up from that nightmare, I want CHANGE, I want BUHARI for NIGERIA and FASHOLA for LAGOS. And my VOTE will make it HAPPEN!

Ok here is my take. Till I read the manifesto (line by line) I was only sure that I will cast only one vote - for Mr Fashola. Why? Because GEJ was busy telling us how God-sent he was, Buhari was busy telling us how incorruptible his past has been and Ribadu was trying to tell anyone that cared to listen how his tenure @ efcc ended all forms of corruption in Nigeria!
Now the BB group has come up with something that is exemplary, a manifesto that is not only workable, but could address the core sociopolitical and economic rot in Nigeria. Faithfull implementation of these commitments will surely set Nigeria on a sound footing towards tremendous growth, I think.
Since GEJ is no longer an option, having squandered the goodwill of the people by his abysmal performance for almost 1 year, unless Ribadu comes up with something convincing, my vote and that of 20 of my friends and family will go to Mr. Buhari…

Who is advising GEJ politically? This is one misfire too many! Well he has woken up a sleeping lion and the PDP guber candidate should be man enuough to face the challenge. But i am sure OBJ will advise them against any public debate. And Beaf pls leave tribal insinuations out of this. Every tribe in naija has benefited from Fashola's development in Lagos.

Bunch of no-goods! For every coach they hire they have their own share of the loot. Since the appointment of Siasia has prevented from the usual, Coach Uche has to be sacrificed like Amodu. The desease in NFF prevents them from seeing beyond their noses. Selfish bunch!

peaceland:
i took my time to read the entire text of Soludo's writing on the economy; I am a baby economist; i can say that i understand what he is saying and if the figures were true - we should be calling for the resignation of the govt (or the economic team) and not castigating him for bringing the issues to light.

we can look for another forum to deal with the actions of Soludo but for now - lets protect our sweats which they are asking us to wish away.
thank you all

My point also. God bless you. Instead of spending time protecting personalities, we should dwell more on issues raised. Now is the time to debate because when we reach the point Tunisia and Egypt reached, no amount of debate can undo the harm already done!

RoadStar:
We all know that Aganga is a First Class accountancy graduate of UI. We also know he is a managing director specialised in hedge funds and equities @ Goldman Sachs.
But all references to his oxford studies just say that he earned postgraduate degree there.

Can someone please help me with his qualifications @ oxford ?
In what field did he do a post graduate @ Oxford. (Accountancy/Economics/Thelogy) ?
What award did he earn @ oxford . (Masters/Phd/Post graduate diploma ?)

When did UI start offering accountancy? Or is there another UI different from the University of Ibadan?

just curious

MTN! Why cant they keep it simple

[quote author=Ikwikwikwi link=topic=567975 .msg7332399#msg7332399 date=1292326697]Akunyili has a lot to offer, and she is at liberty to contest on any platform of her choice. In fact, it is better she opts for APGA is is being touted.[/quote]Granted! But what's the story of a serving PDP minister contesting under another party? Is it not the same old story of grab power at all means, even if it means putting ones rep on the line? This ones amazon of a lady has finally joined them! My heart bleeds!

hbrednic:
Ogbeh + Ribadu + Ibb, should form an alliance of confused politicians political party CPPP
