FRSC officers probably acting on their own authority, doing what the interview coordinators never instructed them to do.

i like this part, cos i know many people 'll start blaming Jonathan and PDP for this.
The truth is that, we on our part are not actually better that our leaders, the little power we have @our disposal what do we use it for?

I remember last year when my H.O.D a man who is very critical of this present administration ask all final year student to pay #3000 for project defence, when asked what the money was for, he said it was for refreshment for external Examiners, Just imagine!

yeah yeah yeah, do you mosquitoes know how easy it is to grow flowers in Sahara desert? that is how easy it is for APC to win this election. I was not born when the terrorist was in power but I know and in fact care so much about the events of the past. Anybody that forgets the past is not ready for the future. In fact that is why many African countries are just useless, because they out of their own volition, chose to forget thier own history. BTW the PDPb is STILL the party to beat, When we win let them go and form a parallel government, then we will know which among the two turtles is male.

I was surprised when i heard that a guy whose father was supposedly killed by this same general was pledging his support for the General.....I wonder wetin e give them chop. btw : If Buhari is truly the key, then Nigeria is certainly not the Door!

Next month’s presidential election is between two people. While everyone agrees that one of them is clueless, not everyone wants to agree that the other is a day-dreamer. One does not know what to do to arrest the insecurity in the country, the other says he will arrest it in two months. Hmmm!

Without naming names or saying who is which, I believe both positions are correct. But irrespective of what I feel, there is absolutely no chance of getting a president outside of these two. So, it’s head we lose, tails we don’t win. And vote, we must.

Well, I live in an All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled state – Lagos. I hail from another APC state – Imo. My adopted home state of Kwara is also APC. But I wouldn’t say I have sympathy for APC although I’m happy that another party is giving the PDP a run for its money (or is it votes?), and may, in fact, give the ruling party a bloody nose next month, if time is not taken.

Since I’m surrounded by so much APC, I get to hear the chant of ‘change’…’change’ quite regularly. In fact, it is so regular that I’m beginning to think that the ‘change’ is a clarion call to dump the APC in my neighborhood. And if you come from my neck of the wood, you’d almost think this is the case. In Imo State, for instance, the PDP managed to surmount all its characteristic post-primaries bickering to put forward what could probably be its best possible candidate in the person of Hon. Emeka Ihedioha. Now, we, the elite, can afford to dream that ‘change’ is really possible in Imo. But that would be a tough call because incumbent governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has continued to strengthen his grip on the state. He remains a hit with the masses, and if we must say the truth, that is where the votes are.

In Lagos, where Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, declared, at President Goodluck Jonathan’s flag-off campaign, that ‘change from APC’ had finally come to the South-west, that change is, however, looking less and less likely – not when the PDP is yet to begin any serious campaign for the governorship. The different tendencies in the party have only just agreed to work together. And even after agreeing, I hear there’s still no money. A similar story is also playing out in the Oyo State PDP. But it is not only in the states the PDP wants to make inroad that it has crisis. All is also not well in many of the states it hopes to retain. In these states, the party has been torn apart by the fallouts of the primaries.

It appears that it is in the resolve to re-elect President Goodluck Jonathan that the party seems to largely be in agreement.

However, after agreeing on Jonathan, selling him to the rest of us the voters has proved Herculean to them. At best, they have simply fumbled. Viewed less charitably, they have largely succeeded in de-marketing their own product.

How do I mean?

Apart from my unusually busy work schedule towards the end of last year, one other reason I did not travel to the village last Christmas was my presumption that the Lagos-Ore-Benin Road was still as bad as it was when Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, then as Works Minister, went there to cry to the gods some years ago.

Mrs. Madueke would finish her tour of duty in that ministry and even get ‘elevated’ to the petroleum ministry, without fixing that road.

Yes, that bad road, which Olusegun Obasanjo spent eight years without fixing, would also see out Umaru Yar’Adua’s fate-truncated presidency, without still getting fixed. And since neither Jonathan nor his spin doctors had told us anything about having fixed the road, I naturally concluded that nothing had changed.

But I was wrong. Everyone I asked, who travelled on that road during the Yuletide, confirmed that the road had since been fixed and is now in good shape. Unbelievable!

When I mentioned this to a colleague, who is usually critical of government, I was in for more surprises. According to her, that was not the only road. She recalled her journey to Ibadan from Lagos two weeks earlier and how she did not realise when she drove past her turning-off point, at a place that used to be a trailer-killing field. That area, notorious for ghastly truck accidents due to the bad road, had been fixed, and it was such a smooth drive that she missed the point she was supposed to make a detour that would take her out of town. There was supposed to be one big final crater just before the junction, to remind you you’re about to veer off the road. But it was no longer there. That road too, is a federal government project.

In the course of our discussion, she also raised the issue of her sister in Lagos, who parked her car at home and opted to use the train instead. Yes, the trains too are actually working – even if only in just a few places and just a handful of routes. But that was not the story. The story was that the sister was complaining that she did not take her jacket along – because of the cold air-conditioning system of the train.

Painfully, as the campaigns for next month’s presidential and general elections go into full throttle, it is not really the trains or the roads or many other undeniable achievements of the administration that Jonathan and his PDP are communicating to the electorate. No. Instead, they are busy demonising Buhari, digging up corpses that were buried as far back as 1984.

Now, the truth is that these stories of 1984 sound like tales by moonlight to the youths of today, who are set to play a huge role in determining who emerges president in February.

Now, anybody born in 1984 would be about 31 years today. And if such a person was too young to know whatever was happening when Buhari was head of state, what then would we make of the army of youths in their twenties and late teens – prospective voters all of them? For them, Jonathan is reality and that reality is what they seem to want a break from. Buhari is what the the opposition has succeeded in telling us he is; a saint. A personification of the change the youths desire.

Knowing his defect in oratory and that Jonathan might floor him on that count, Buhari’s party has also succeeded in diminishing any importance we might want to attach to the prospect of a presidential debate. Smart people!

For many of the youths, therefore, all they are seeing is what APC told them Jonathan did, or did not do: Boko Haram, corruption, power supply and all the other sour spots like collapsing economy, crashed Naira, etc. and to all these, they say, the answer is Buhari.

Of course, it’s not the duty, nor is it in the interest, of APC to tell us that trains are back in Lagos (that would only be celebrated when the state government-powered light rail comes on stream), nor that the roads in Ibadan or Benin have been made motorable. Or that the trains Osun people living in Lagos regularly board to go home during festive periods are actually federal government (PDP) trains.

For the APC, it makes more political sense to focus on the East-West Road, Second Niger Bridge and other such phoney projects of the federal government. And it has been doing this very well. This explains why the youths now genuinely think that Buhari is indeed the messiah they have been waiting for. If you doubt me, go to the social media. If you’re able to sieve the hatchet men and paid hirelings from genuine commentators, you’d clearly see that Buhari (who might not know a great deal about Internet, etc.) is actually a clear favourite ahead of Jonathan, who has been known to operate a Facebook account for some years now.

Rather than market their candidate, the PDP goons are busy grabbing, left right and centre, living up their old slogan of ‘share the money’. Everyone is busy stuffing his own private pocket while the projects that need funding in this season of campaigns are left as orphans.

Only last week, word crept in that fund was frustrating the party’s efforts in Oyo and Lagos, while the little that was released in one of the states was hijacked by one of the party chieftains.

So, who do I think will win the presidential election? I would say, Jonathan will still win. But I expect that this would be Buhari’s best shot ever at the presidency. I suspect this is going to be a close race. But it would not have been this close if the PDP was a little less complacent – or better still, pushed greed and selfishness to the back burner.

[size=18pt]The APC, has been consistent in saying that the PDP has ruled Nigeria for 16 years in which corruption, impunity, insurgency has become the order of the day. But taking a look at the composition of those APC members that are more vocal with regards to the ills in the society, we have the likes of…
1. Rotimi Amaechi - 8 years as Speaker, 7 year as Governor under PDP.
2. Atiku Abubakar - 8 years as Vice president under PDP.
3. George Akume – 8 years Governor under PDP
4. Bukola Saraki - 8. years as Governor, 2 years as Senator under PDP
5. Timipre Sylver - 4 years Governor under PDP
6. Audu Ogbe - 2 years Chairman of the PDP
7. Aminu Masari - 4 years as the Speaker, House of Representatives under PDP
8. Chris Ngige - 3 years Governor under PDP, 4yrs as Senator.
9. Rabiu Kwankwaso- 7 years as Governor, 3 years as Defense minister under PDP.
10. El Rufai - 4 years FCT Minister; 2 years BPE chairman under PDP.
11. Aminu Tambuwal- 4 Speaker, House of Representatives
12. Baraje- 3yrs PDP national chairman
13. Gemade- 4yrs national chairman
14. Audu Ogbe- 4yrs national chairman
15. Amosun/Ajimobi - 8yrs senators under PDP
16. Ahmed- 4yrs as governor 4yrs under PDP.
17. To mention, but a few…
It is an endless list of those that have handled one position or the other with the present government to pilot the affairs of this nation. They cross-carpeted to APC and become a tong in the flesh of the same party they assisted to bastardize this nation’s economy. The question to them all is, what did you do with the allocation that was disbursed to your ministry as a minister, to your state as a state governor from the federal allocation of this nation for the pasted 16 years of PDP? If your ministry is a failed ministry today, it wasn’t the making of Jonathan but you. If your state is a failed state today, it wasn’t the making of Jonathan but you and your local government chairmen. All of you have used the allocations meant to better the lots of the masses under the capacity of your positions held, to your personal aggrandisement and political ambitions, to the detriment of the masses and the degeneration of this nation. As far as I’m concerned, Jonathan has done his bit for not denying any allocation meant for developing this nation, but each and every one of you (cross carpeters) who have served this nation are the problems we have. Now, the nation have been milked dried through PDP and no more loopholes to continue your milking, especially those that have finished their second terms, it is now turn to look for such opportunities under the umbrella of APC to continue your milking, which is the reasons for cross carpeting, which is also the reasons why truth have vanished from your lips, deceiving the masses against a man, Jonathan, that have done enough, irrespective of the situation in Nigeria, grossly caused by most of you for your selfish reasons. As far as truth has vanished from your lips and speaking negative of a man that has given his effort to the better of this nation, sincerely speaking, the same coin with which Jonathan was paid, is the same coin, if not worse than that, each and every one of you will receive whether you like it or not as along as truth have eluded from your lips either as a loser or a gainer of your selfish aims. Thank God the remains of PDP now, are those still believing in PDP ability to refine this country if all hands must be on deck and stand for the truth for this nation to move forward.
It is totally clear that APC has become a party created for those who want to continuously milk us more for inhibition. The so-called Amaechi governed River State for 2 tenures; knowing fully well that it was the end of the road as a state governor, he defected to APC looking for opportunities to continue his corrupted practices to milk us more. Can Gov. Amaechi give account of his achievement in River State with the federal allocation given to his state for the pasted 8yrs? No! he can't. But only seeing Jonathan as a corrupt leader. This is liken to a Pot calling Kettle black. If you like SUPPORT WRONGLY AND ALSO VOTES WRONGLY.
