Hrm, now trying to find out how much gas is there. . .

EDIT: Seems like a lot, from your above links. Hopefully this means that powering the SW won't require any gas from the Niger Delta.[/quote]Check this and be glad you are Odu'a Tokan Tokan http://www.kpmg.com/Global/en/WhoWeAre/Documents/Ondo-State-Nigeria.pdf

Natural gas is the energy resource of the immediate future. I think Chevron needs some competition in Ondo State.

Gas reserve seems massive, but still looking for non-commercial source verification.

^^ you may be wrong and Mazi EzeUche right, The coast of Ondo and Ogun has plenty of it.

Simple question: Where did you get your passion/dream about GEJ from?

a) From seeing how he blah blah blah, and his superior problem-solving in blah blah blah, and his inspiring blah blah blah.

b) Because he is from SS. I don't care if he is good. I want someone from my region to rule no matter what.

It helps that he is dry and I am funny.

He is daft and I am supremely intelligent.

He is slow and I am witty.

There is no point hatin' on Joe Trippi. The man is doing his professional job and he wisely placed a cautionary disclosure for all to see that he is often a paid consultant on these sort of things.

FULL DISCLOSURE: As someone who has been active in both advising on and overseeing elections in Africa and Nigeria, I have worked for several pro-democracy candidates in Nigeria, including President Goodluck Jonathan. -Joe Trippi


2007 article about his work in Nigeria;

Washington lobbyists develop strategy for Nigerian politicians
By Kevin Bogardus - 05/30/07 03:19 PM ET
 
The Democratic consultant who brought Silicon Valley strategy to Howard Dean’s 2004 White House bid exported his brand of high-tech campaign tactics to Nigeria during the run-up to the country’s April presidential election.

Joe Trippi, currently advising former Sen. John Edwards’s (D-N.C.) 2008 campaign, designed a text-messaging campaign for opposition Action Congress Party candidate and then Vice President Atiku Abubakar.


“What drove me on this one was the need for an opposition party. Democracy has only been there for eight years,” Trippi said.

He was just one of many Washington consultants and lobbyists hired by Nigerian politicians to meet with policymakers here or campaign across the Atlantic. Abubakar and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, through the West African country’s government, each spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the months preceding the vote on such services.

Obasanjo fought successfully to secure victory for his successor in the governing People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Umaru Yar’Adua. Yesterday in Nigeria, power was handed over to the new president.

The director of African Studies at Johns Hopkins’s School of Advanced International Studies, Peter Lewis, said the feud between onetime allies Abubakar and Obasanjo had been “brewing ,  for several years and exploded into the open during the last 12 months.”

“The malpractices were carried out in an absolutely brazen fashion,” Lewis, an international observer for Nigeria’s April polling, said of the election. “While there certainly was misconduct by all parties, the main source of the misconduct was the ruling party.”

Trippi stressed Abubakar’s underdog status — the longtime PDP politician ultimately placed third in official results contested by the international community — in his efforts to win popular support for the candidate.
“Essentially, the text-messaging campaign said, ‘Democracy is at risk right now with Obasanjo, do not let them take the election,’ that sort of thing,” Trippi said.

“Frankly, with all the problems of being on the ballot, off the ballot, it was difficult to say the least,” he said. “There was a point where the campaign was decapitated because of the arrests or the top of the campaign was in hiding.”

His firm took in about $20,000 for its work in Nigeria, according to the most recent records filed with the Justice Department’s Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) unit.

Through his lawyer, Edward Weidenfeld, Abubakar also hired PR giant Hill & Knowlton as well as an investigative-services firm.

According to Department of Justice records, the James Mintz Group, staffed by former investigative reporters and federal prosecutors, took in close to $16,000 for “research/consulting services.”

“As a matter of long-standing policy, the Mintz Group doesn’t talk about its client work,” a spokesman for the firm said.

Weidenfeld also met with State Department officials in October 2006 to “discuss the political environment in Nigeria and urge U.S. support for free and fair elections in Nigeria.” Overall, the lawyer has earned more than $120,000 since October 2006. Weidenfeld did not respond to calls for comment.

“Clearly, there were challenges to the election in Nigeria. But for the first time in 40 years, there was a successful transition from civilian to civilian government,” the vice president for government affairs and communications at Goodworks International, Austin Cooper, said. “We hope the international community will unite behind the new administration.”

Goodworks was Obasanjo’s main U.S. lobbying group during the last year. The firm has taken in $500,000 since April 2006 from the government of Nigeria, according to the most recent records filed with the Justice Department.

Cooper said his firm avoided the politics back in Nigeria: “Frankly, we could not afford to get caught up in the internal strife.” Instead, Goodworks highlighted the former president’s economic reforms and his fight against corruption, and “promote[d] the democratic election in Nigeria.”

The firm helped to organize meetings and calls with American policymakers for the heads of two Nigerian government agencies that were thorns in Abubakar’s side.

In May 2006, Goodworks organized an itinerary for Nigeria’s chairman of the Independent National Election Commission (INEC) to discuss his country’s “efforts in voter education and registration” with the Carter Center, the National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute and State Department officials.

All have been heavily critical of last month’s elections, run by the INEC. The agency banned Abubakar from running, citing corruption charges, before the courts reinstated him.

Goodworks also helped to draft congressional testimony last May for the executive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Cooper called the EFCC’s work an example of Obasanjo’s battle against corruption.

“Here is the head of the EFCC who can outline in clear and concise ways how his administration is fighting corruption, include jailing his own friends,” Cooper said.

The EFCC was the agency that charged Abubakar with corruption, crippling his presidential campaign. Though Goodworks said “there were no FARA-reportable contacts” in the months immediately preceding the election, Goodworks staff members met with Nigerian Embassy staff in early spring of 2007 and attended a March press conference for the EFCC’s chairman, in which he spoke of Obasanjo’s battles to halt corruption.

Cooper said Goodworks’s cooperation with the Nigerian government slowed as its contract drew to a close in early April. No proposal from the firm is before the new president.

With chosen heir Yar’Adua in office, Obasanjo has left public life after completing two terms. Abubakar is protesting the election results.

The past vice president may be out of luck. Lewis said that although election problems are being heard in Nigeria’s courts, it is unlikely Yar’Adua will be removed from office “due to the margin of victory and the concerns for stability.”

Where did you get your passion/dream about GEJ from?  

^^^^^^^
This thing don finally become Jamb question? 

I always suspected Sagamite was an underpaid Lecturer,

I did not know he also doubles as an invigilator.   

Donlittle:
Thanks man, and please if you have any suggestion, that you think a little boy like me might know, to get my head straight and understand more about this stuff, hit me up n i will listen to people like you

If you can continue to stick around, I'm sure people way smarter than I am will come on the thread to offer you better prespectives.

BUT, I will direct you to some previous conversations I had with Beaf around this same issue. You can read click the link below, just scroll down for more posts.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=628165.msg7957609#msg7957609

The other one below is from January; scroll down and up for context.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-585949.128.html#msg7541290

You can also use the Nairaland search tool to get more information about why GEJ is not the change we need and why his party PDP cannot reform themselves, talkless Nigeria.

My opinion;

Beaf seems to really believe what he says about GEJ. I think he see's GEJ as a decent, strong, humble and strategic leader that can reform the Nigerian structure and tactically reduce the old power broker's(cabal) influence. He believes GEJ is some kind of fresh air candidate that is different from the old-school Northern, Kaduna-Katsina-Military-Whatever Mafia.

I disagree with him because I see no evidence of that in GEJ

GEJ's performance as a Governor and his rise to the VP and President posts has nothing to do with strategy or merit IMO, -except he deliberately killed Yar'adua or blew the whistle on his former boss Alams- I don't see any evidence of that.

IMO, GEJ is just a lucky man riding on "luck" and "chance" and I don't believe "gambling" is a good political strategy for a reformer-president.  


Anyway, continue to enjoy your conversation with Uncle Beaf. . .

Beaf:
My guy, I didn't know the dude was such a kid, now I'm very entertained.

But Bros, the young boy is asking some important questions o!  

I know you attempted some answers ealier, thank you. I think it will be nice if you can continue to clear his doubts about PDP and Oga GEJ. I trust you can help him out.

@Donlittle, you are doing very well, Uncle Beaf is a very decent and honest man, so continue your conversation with him.

The Young Shall Grow  

Donlittle:
am 16 and i guess u are like 25 and i will give you the respect u want and not curse u, but if anymore word of abuse comes out of your mouth there, i will dash u a curse!

Am I the only one enjoying this interesting conversation between Donlittle (16 year old? ) and Beaf ?  

@Sky Blue I agree with you.

No matter how clueless and dumb GEJ is, ignoring this NTA debate is not the wise thing for the opposition to do. If i'm handling GEJ's campaign, I will spin this opposition boycott and milk every ounce of public sympathy for my client.

NTA refused to air the freely given NN24 debate simply because GEJ did not attend. NTA has stations in all 36 states, plus radio and strong affiliation with other public state TV stations. NTA is easily the biggest TV network in Nigeria by far. It is dumb to ignore that platform IMO. The opposition over reacted on this one, I hope cooler heads will prevail and they will reverse their decision.

I totally dislike PDP, but most Nigerians don't have the time and resources to follow politics closely, online, on cable or satellite TV. I bet most of the voters outside our very few large cities don't know if NN24 is a station or a new pain reliever. They will simply hear that Buhari and co refused to appear for a debate. PDP will spin this to their advantage.

They should go on this debate and use that opportunity to tell ignorant Nigerians about GEJ's cowardice. How he's avoiding other debates including the "what about us" debate organized by young Nigerians.

Rather than coming together to boycott this one, they should use every chance they get to speak in unison about how GEJ uses the NTA. They should condemn NTA's bias right there on the podium. and use the platform to explain why it is wrong to use a publicly funded Station as a private propaganda tool in a democracy. It is an opportunity to chip at the pseudo-humility image GEJ is trying so hard to sell.

Apart from our high illiteracy rate, Nigerians are largely ignorant and dismissive about politics. You need to meet people where they are. Nairaland and twitter is not Nigeria.

Katsumoto:
Honestly, we don't need such divisive topics; it serves no purpose.

monkeyleg:
@blink182,

My point is very clear, and I dont think I am spoiling it, because this is what is wrong with politics and our country in general. Simple question, has the President declared that he will be using government asset at his disposal during this elections. It is only fair that other candidates know what they are up against. If things are declared from the get go, then the picture becomes clearer for everyone. If security is an issue for Oga, what about the other candidates? I see this as undue advantage and must be addressed. We must start leaerning to do things the proper way

Blink replied

Whether you like it or not he's the president and standard security protocol have to be followed whenever he moves, it is the right thing to do. Jeeeeeez you are making me sound like a pro-jonathan whatever.

[size=30pt]Nigeria sai Buhari [/size]

Let us get some more perspective;

IMO, It is unfair and should be unacceptable for an incumbent politician to use public property for political campaign or profit from such a use without paying for it. BUT the security and safety of the President should also be a priority.

Reps okay use of official vehicles during campaigns

By Festus Owete
Members of the House of Representatives voted yesterday to allow sitting presidents, state governors, local government chairmen and their deputies, to use their official vehicles to campaign during elections.

Others who may use their vehicles for electioneering campaign are the presiding officers of the federal and state assemblies, ministers, chairmen of parastals, and other political office holders.

At the resumed consideration of the amendment to the Electoral Act 2006 at the Committee of Whole, a member, Stanley Ohajuruka (PPA, Abia) had called for the insertion of a clause banning all political office holders from using their vehicles once they are candidates in any election.

Mr. Ohajuruka, a former Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, argued that if the political office holders are allowed to use their vehicles, it would be to the disadvantage of their opponents in the election. He added that it would be wrong for the political office holders to use their official vehicles procured with tax payers money for campaigns.

Mr. Ohajuruka noted that in advanced democracies such officials are not allowed to use their vehicles during campaigns, stressing that Nigeria should not be an exception.

However, the Speaker, Dimeji Bankole who jointly presided over the consideration with his deputy, Usman Nafada, disputed Mr. Ohajuruka’s claim and noted that former U.S president, George Bush, used the American presidential aircraft, Air Force 1, to campaign during his bid for re-election.

When Mr. Bankole put the matter to vote, members voted overwhelmingly to allow all of them to use their vehicles.

The representatives also voted in support of amendment to sanitise party primaries and ensure that there is no imposition of candidates.

The perks of presidential travel  
March 22, 2004|

From Mark Rodeffer and Claire Brinberg CNN Political Unit

President Bush and first lady Laura Bush wave from the steps of Air Force One during a recent trip.For the price of a first-class airplane ticket, a U.S. president can practically turn Air Force One into his own private re-election express.

It's not really that simple, but there's no denying that incumbency has its advantages in a re-election campaign, as this week's "How it Works" explains.

"If there are political events, they are paid for out of campaign funds," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said, referring to the distinction between public and campaign funds.

When a president uses Air Force One to travel to a campaign event, his campaign must reimburse the government the approximate cost of a first-class ticket for the president and all the political aides traveling with him.

http://articles.cnn.com/2004-03-22/politics/perks_1_campaign-funds-travel-costs-bob-biersack?_s=PM:ALLPOLITICS

Now, Unless the 234next report above is false, It appears that the battle to ensure that other candidates do not get outrightly cheated was lost on the floor of the senate when PDP passed that electoral act.

Bankole and his PDP friends voted to allow politicians use official transportation for Political campaigns, he cited the American president's use of The Air Force One. BUT as you can see from the CNN report above,  Bankole failed to mention that the Political campaign has to pay for that use from their own pocket! Essentially they hired Airforce one for campaign like they will hire any other private transport.

Beaf and other PDP supporters are backed by the law it appears, I cannot blame them for that.

Is this fair or right? IMO, hell nah, but what are you going to do about it? How do we repeal that law?

Answer; by getting stronger opposition into the Senate and other political offices. simple.

PDP currently enjoys an absolute majority, We can't blame them for using it to their advantage. It's too late to cry now, just make sure you vote for another party if you don't want more of the same kind of laws.

Politics is a game of interests, we need to make sure that we reduce politician's ability to unite together in corruption.

So, Folks shouldn't just focus on the Presidency. The Senate, Local govt and other elections matter.

Larufa:
Thanks everybody for the comments so far.

Corruption to me is not neccessarily messing around with public money, it is more of upholding the rule of law. If u agree with my definition. Then Obasanjo is very much corrupt.
Without Justice there cannever be Peace and where there is no peace there can never be Development.

Instances:

1. The rigging of 2003 national and state elections -- Anambra state and painfully my home state of Ogun state where the total number of votes for the president is more than that of the Governor. Even River State where the percentage of voters that voted is 100%,( it can never happen) so between voters registration and election day , no voter died, somebody travelled out of the state or no sick bed on elction day. Nigeria is a funny place to be.

2. What has he done to the self confessed election riggers -- Chris Uba  and Alhaji Tinubu.
Go and sin no more against my party - People Destructive Party.

3. What happened to all the money voted for the construction of road networks given to His Mr Fix it- Tony Annenih (1999 - 2003). What happened to NPA during Chief Bode George Tenure -- Reward with the Chairmanship of Bank of Industries.

4. Why is he holding on tightly to the Petroleum Ministry since 1999. The ministry is not accountable to the NASS.

5. why support illegality in Oyo state--impeachment of Ladoja, well this is not the first time, it happed during the last election when Deputy governor of Ogun and Osun were arrested for protesting electoral rigging.

With all these he should remember that what goes around comes around surely. He that live by sword shall by the sword. Ride on Mr know it all.

Well as for me and some other few friends we are back to dark days of Abacha.
He want to stay but do not know how-- Jobs for the basket mouth Fani-kayodes, Mantu and Bode George of this world.

Nigeria will continue to be even after our generation.

^^ Try to separate your write-up into smaller paragraphs.

Another thing that got me wondering about this man we are all going ‘apeshit’ (pardon my French) over was the speed with which his campaign team set up a “network center” to drive his e-campaign for the presidency. Haba! So sharp! I watched him and his vice, (N)namadi Sambo, on national television one day as they went round the state-of-the-art facility, inspecting and interacting with the networks’  ‘volunteers’. ‘Volunteers!?’  This was the word that got my teeth set on edge like I’d eaten the biblical sour grapes.

How now? For Nigeria? I saw fresh-faced, contented-looking young Nigerian men and women sitting before rows of desk-top PCs, clattering away on the keyboards; youths who were looking too, Um… for lack of a better word, ‘contented’ to be working for free.

[b]I saw carefully selected young Nigerians who’d been recruited for a specific job and some spin doctor was there telling me they were ‘volunteers’. Na jand we dey? No be country wey all the citizens dey fully and gainfully employed fit afford the luxury of the use of volunteers? [/b]For God’s sake, I think GEJ should fire his publicist!

Did he and his team think the exotic sounding title of ‘Neighbour-2-neighbour volunteers’ will blind us to the fact that somebody is paying for the services of these so-called ‘volunteers’? Who is it? Where is the money coming from?

Was it on NTA?

LOL@ GEJ's Twitter, Facebook, NL, Online Volunteers? 

There's nothing wrong with Recruiting volunteers though, It's a political campaign.

Maybe Dangote gave him money, you know PDP does not touch Public funds

I didn't know that it had any sort of hidden meaning.  "Mutual Admiration Society" is a phrase I use to hear a lot when people wanted to say two or more people have  esteem for each other.  Come to think of it, I haven't heard it in a long time.
