What makes the Institution?

Answer - The Man.


#Case Closed!

Like the EFCC, when the strong man left, what do we see again?
Nothing.

Banks Failed. Are they not institutions?

Nigerian Courts: do they not get bought over?

Bottomline: STRONG MEN drives institutions.

[quote author=Ozedy post=29592092][/quote]President coming to Lagos.......to kill us with his soldiers again or to beg us for votes when have no right to protest under his government if we are unhappy with any of his policies?

What do we have as Lagosians after we gave him about 1.4m votes?

Is that statement coming from the Presidency or from another Tout?

nduchucks:
OK, lets cut through the chase. I happen to be vacationing in Floirida at the moment but will make a special trip to Carlisle within a week. What exactly do you people need from this institution regarding Buhari?

I will go there personally and ask those questions and report back.

I think a few things are clear:

(1) Buhari was not a Master's degree candidate at the said school and he never claimed to be one.
(2) Buhari successfully completed a training program at the war college.
(3) It is impossible to uccessfully complete such a program if you do not have at least a secondary school level education.

If you people have reasonable questions for me to take to the school, I promise to do so. I will be watching this thread until Next Tuesday.

To me, this sounds logical enough.

Onmason:
Pls, i want to ask a question that has been
baffling me as ave been ignoring this APC n PDP
threads.
Is certificate presentation a criteria for being an
eligible candidate for presidency?
If it is since Buhari's certificate cant be
presented, why cant he just be droped?
And if certificate submission is not a big deal, as
i can obviously see that amidst this certificate
ish, the buhari guy is still holding rallys
unperturbed.
Why are you NLers giving urself Blood pressure
with the certificate ish? Is there no due
process? Very good one here. Joblessness has realy caused Nigerians a lot. Why not discuss better issues, could ds be a sign of desperation? Certificates are just pieces of PAPER. Leadership is a SKILL that is either innate or acquired through experience or training.

Balanced view!!!

Deceits at its peak.
Stories we have continued to hear since 1979.
Anyway, i no blame politicians o. It's what we 9jas want to hear they tell us always.
Yet the situation remains the same.

Do it right or do it wrong, we are in it together albeit in different categories.

Good people of Nigeria!!!!

*When next they tell you Buhari
will Islamise Nigeria if he becomes the president, tell them they
are senseless; that no democratically elected president can
IslamiseNigeria.

*When next they tell you Buhari is too old, tell
them you prefer an old man with a purpose than a youth without
a focus.
Nelson mandela was how many years when he ruled south
africa??
Robert mugabe is how many years & still ruling zimbabwe
Cameroon president is how many years?? and many other
president...
Is Nigeria better than all these countries in the past 5yrs
Jonathan is young & so what?
He has a phd & so wat?
Name other things he has?
He's a professor in corruption...
MSC in looting & cluelessness...
A phd holder in stealing...
A lecteurer in bad goernance...
You may even ask them that what benefit did the
youthfulness of Dimeji Bankole who became the number 3 man
(Speaker of House of Representatives) at the age of 37; James
Ibori who became agovernor at the age of 41 and Lucky
Igbinedion who also became a governor at the age of 42 bring
into the system.

*When next they tell you Buhari is the sponsor of
Boko-Haram, tell them they have gone nuts. That they used the
same propaganda to campaign against the man in 2011, so why
is he still walking in the streets while the menace Boko- Haram is
burgeoning and the president has not ordered his arrest?

*When next they tell you APC is more corrupt than PDP, tell
them“no
matter how good they are in mathematics, they'd never be able
to add up the sins of APC and arrive at the report card of PDP
since 1999. Logic and common sense will always be
their undoing in such a mathematical venture”.

*When next they tell you about Buhari’s human
right recordsduring his 18 months sojourn as a military head of
state, tell them he is not coming back as a military head of state
but a democratically elected president and that does not erase
his sterling anti-corruption credentials which is what Nigeria
badly needs at the moment.

*When next they tell you that it is
wrong for Buhari to be hobnobbing with the likes of Tinubu, Atiku
and co, given his toga anti-corruption; ask them if they voted for
him when he decided to go alone?
Nigeria needs #change!!! you & i knows it even when some people
have been blindfolded with sentiment .........

say no to #Mediocrity

say YES to...........

Some intel.....

When we say some people are so ''mumucious'' they can't read between the lines because they worship 'men of gold', they say we belong to the devil.
Now how is this one different from the fraud called 'Immigration' where scores lost their lives?

I say religion is a racket.
The pastor is as rich and as smart as he is.
Simple!!!!

WE WILL REMOVE JONATHAN AND BRING IN A CREDIBLE APC PRESIDENT IN 2015 -FEMI FANI-KAYODE

All politicians are the same in Africa.
No principle. Hardly with ideology. Eyes permanently on where money and power is.
Always going after spoils.

If the year is trully new to anyone, and there are new year resolutions, shouldn't NLs resolve to stop abusing house mates irrespective of the topic being discussed?

Would it not be a better house if we chose to respect our different views which we have the right to express rather than to start the abuse?

Your View....

Kagarko:
May Allah expose this people and their sponsors whoever they are.

This is becoming something else.

This clueless govt is to be held responsible for not sacking the service chiefs for failure to tackle the insurgency hence the suspicion of govt been an accomplice in the crisis.

[b]Three trilion naira in three years has been spent and no result.

[/b]Oya okupe or abati tell gej to sack the service chiefs.

Yet, that's what some people wants to continue with.

Nothing new.
Only dates changes.

Will the familes of the abducted girls also appreciate you SIR?

Are you sure this is not 9ja?
Because that is where every 'impossican'ts' are possible.

Talk about propaganda!!
Where are the Okada people of Lagos today?
Most of them were chased out of Lagos. Those who gets caught had their Okadas seized and destroyed.
How about that.
All lies!!!!!

Show some repect somebody.
Stop the abuse!!!

Akbee:
Another online activist, Emeka Martins,
said, “Indeed most Nigerians are gullible.
Why should they believe in prophesies of
end-time fake pastors. TB Joshua should
explain to the court what led to the death
of those people in his synagogue. Why did
he not prophesy his own calamity?”
While other online commentators taunted
the clergyman strings of prophecies, some
Nigerians challenged him to foretell the
day in which the abducted Chibok girls
would be freed by the fundamentalist
Islamist sect, Boko Haram.
“We don’t want to know which disaster is
next, we want a prayer that will bring the
Chibok girls back home,” a respondent,
Samuel David, wrote on SCOAN’s YouTube
page.
However, TB Joshua’s followers rallied
round him, fending off criticisms of what
they described as his divine calling.
A Malawian, Elsie PembeKumwenda,
insisted on Facebook that the cleric is God
sent, saying, “Prophet TB Joshua is doing
what no one can do today. Whatever he
prophesises comes to pass, yet we don’t
believe him. We usually regret our actions
when it (tragedy) happens. May God give
our prophet more of his grace.”

Nigerians, Gullible?
Could be right!!
Our gullibility is highly religious and dangerously political.

LouisVanGaal:
do u know what tackling corruption and ending bh would means for naija?
Yar'Adua promised 7 things, how far? Did he achieve any?
D problem with politicians is that they over promise and under-fulfil! Someone is promising u 2 things he is sure to do, and u r saying its not enough...

without corruption bin tackled or reduced to d barest minimum...all 'achievements' ud be overshadowed!
Its just like trying to build a mansion on a piece of land without clearing of weeds and stump; after building it and comiSsioning, its only a matter of time before d whole house is covered by d bush nd nobody ud b able to c d house let alone admire it. Don't underestimate the power of corruption

Seriously, corruption is kind of the only thing keeping us low.
How do you explain a Federal Government Agency saddled with the responsibility to create jobs now start asking jobless youths to bring money, albeit
insignificant, the job did not see the light of the day yet the money not refunded.

Inspite of all this, nobody got no punishment.
Or money meant for road being diverted by only a few, and the road remained unfixed. Can that be justify by any sweet-mouth president?

If there is severe punishment for corruption, people will think twice before they dabble into it.

Whoever can tame corruption should be given the benefit.
Let the decent arguement continues.

boygeorge:
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in Turkey, February 2011:

“Without security, there is no government. So it is not debatable, it is something we have to addressed and we are working towards that with vigour. But if I’m voted into power within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and [s]if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything even if I am there for the next four years.”

Are you sure the man said he would be useless after 4yrs if light did not improve?

Are you sure he had pronounced himself unfit to continue already?

Sentiments or insults apart, give us more proof.

[color=#000099][/color]

Get it right my fellow. This statement is not about christians but Nigerians. You need to go to the North and see whether you can freely move in this joyous Season, even in Abuja! In other words, he is telling us the insecurity challenges like bh, kidnapping etc that have not allowed Nigerians EVERYWHERE to move and celebrate freely will be well-tackled. Even our president is in bondage! If you disagree then you need to tell me when have you seen him publicly during independence, Labour or Children day. The problem we have with most commentators is that they never really experienced the good old days, hence it's believed that's how life is.

Modified quoting a nairalander just 2/3 below to buttress my statement above :

"You are in bondage, if you are currently running on generator to power your house .
PDP has several strands of bondage. For many in the North east and North west, their type of bondage is high level insecurity"

Talk about bondage, we produced the crude oil, yet we buy at international market price? Yet international market price had dropped but our president refused to drop fuel price here.
The same government that had failed to provide electricity for over 15years also made it difficult for all Nigerians to power the generator they are compelled to use?
Oil-Producing-Nation?
What an irony!!!!

IbokUtoroh:
nigerians live in bondage because our forefathers sold us out n sign that slavery pact with our colonialist. or do u expect jonathan to be the president n also the labour union chairman fightng the just course of every nigerian employee? go to the diffrnt ministries we hv sabotages feedng fat on nigerian employees entitlement n frustrating every plans that can liberate the sufferng nigerian labourer. bro gej or ur acclaimed gmb cant do it alone, nigerian leaders needs to change thier ways n think outside the box not like our slave masters of the 18th century. a typical nigerian will always want to have subordinates whr they will be appraising him for the foods n little monies he doll out to them. sofar we hv these people n they cntrol 80percent of the resources, we will still be living in bondage even if apc, sdp or whatever is in power.

You are very correct there are sabouteurs everywhere. But what is the government whose job it is, to apportion punishment doing about it?
The reason we still have all of those rubbish in all the ministries is that there is just NO ONE to be scared of!
That is to say= The Fear Of "Somebody Is In Nobody".
This government says it budgets about N250b for fuel subsidy for a whole year, while we are yet to enter the fourth quarter of the year, the subsidy payment shots up to N1.2trillion or thereabout, yet nobody got even the so-called soft-landing-six-months-in-jail-term.

Did you say you see nothing wrong in the leadership still? Inspite of all these Trillions and all that, most school leavers and graduates are still jobless, you pay power agencies who are sponsored by government for services not rendered, the head of that agency is not querried? not to talk of reversing the trend. Now, where is leadership if everything is kind of Al-lar-carte?
Nobody calls no-one to account. So, it's Freebies Always.
Yet the President who will bear all the blames does not care?
Whatever happens to leadership by example according to Cizar's Wife (if im still correct)?

If it is true that the rotteness of the fish starts from the head, then let a fairly good head leads the pack. Could be Buhari or anyone.
I believe very little in politicians though.
I am not a die-hard of anyone of them.
They will always disappoint at the end. Experience......best teacher.....just as we are having it now.

PStacks:
I didn't know somebody would bring up this issue of contract staff.

In those days, our forefathers were carted away across the atlantic to work as slaves on sugar-cane plantations, these days, you don't need to be carted away by the whites to be slaves on plantations in brazil or Bolivia or America. Right in Nigeria. Right in our father land, we are "Modern Day Wage Slaves"..

How can you explain a staff with a university degree and an NYSC certificate gets paid say 180k and then u employ a graduate with same NYSC certificate and pay such person 60k and say he's a contract staff!

What differentiates a contract staff from a full staff? I really want to know.

This is not just bondage but Slavery.

As an unemployed graduate u are entitled to Some sort of social security, before u get on any payroll, but today in nigeria, that's not the case.

GEJ must Go.

Sai Buhari 2015

Modern day Slavery in the name of employment!!!!!
Yet there are senators who will just wake up one day to tell us their constituence allowance is not enough under the same government, whose pimary responsibility is to ensure Nigerians gets fair treatment by reason of making laws. What do we get? NOTHING!!!!!
So why must we continue to maintain those senators if they can't legislate to defend and protect we Nigerians?

That is where the change must come in.
You and i went to different schools with a great difficulty (expense-wise) only to come back to become slave workers.
Why won't we clamour for change?

toyoutoyou:
Only reasonable people will understand u so well.Never try to waste ur time explaining to fools how this administration has failed many Nigerians.They are just with eyes but without vision.Fools will never mind being ruled by a mediocre because they lack great knowledge to understand what a citizen of a country should benefit from his country.A typical example is Asari Dokubo.

You are welcome brother......

nigerianvenom:
was nigerians not leaving in bondage during buhari's terror reign?
why are u guys not always straight forward?
why make buhari looks like a saint he is not?
come feb 2014,we shall see

Don't make the mistake of lumping me up with other campaign agents. I am not an agent.
One common factor that is militating against all mortals is the tendency to make costly mistakes.
Buhari could have been a good leader back then, but because he refused to listen to the people he was leading, me made the mistake.

Today he wants to come back to redeem himself.
Have you ever wondered why Babangida plotted to come back?
He said he made the mistake of not recognizing June 12 1993.

It was because he realized that mistake when he was no longer in power.
We still remember very well how Obasanjo was trying to 'Doctor' the constitution in other to have more time. He felt he needed it.
That 'thing' is in all of us human----- Greed/Coveteousness

So those of us who critisize GEJ today are likely in the know that he is already towing the path of past leaders that gets to see their mistake after they left office or power.
We believe those who feed him back on issues are not telling him the truth now which will become glarring when he is no longer in power.

Recalled he promised not to stayed in office beyond 2015? Why do we now have GEJ till eternity campaign?
Those of you who really love him now must criticise him constructively for him to see the mistake before leaving office, not the number of years he spent that matters but what he does while there.

Sajio:
well, if you are in bondage.. oh..k but for me? am very free and have never been in bondage!! when and whose hand made the country what it is now? was your same Bh not part of those that destroyed it?? let see how Apc will win 2015 election!! merry Xmass

If you say you are free, that's good.
But then, how many Nigerians are that free?
If you are not sufferring, are the percentage of Nigerians sufferring not also high?

If you must refer to my mentions, please try to be objective.

I did not say say a particular person is the messiah so long we all are human beings, the tendency to get corrupted is always very high but higher in others depending on individuals.

Claiming we are free because somebody must write to sooth the ego of his paymaster is an understatement at least not when you and i know that we deserved more than we are getting.

Wishing you the same merriments.

Akon419:
Alhaji Lai Mohammed just compare the life of your fellow Muslims are living and Christians and tell us who is living in bondage. We never told you that we celebrate our Christmas in bondage as you stated. This is unacceptable and insult to Nigerian Christian community

Dear Akon419, believe it or not, Nigerians are living in BONDAGE, at least economically.
While politicians have a way of deceiving the people, as that can be testified to, when Obasanjo was canvasing for votes back then in 1999.
If you still don't believe we live in bondage, how do you explain the reason Nigerians are employed as CONTRACT WORKERS without benefits right in their fatherland?
Yet they can be 'flushed-out' at the slightest excuse.
To be candid, Nigerians ought to have been on social security by now going by huge amounts being wasted on practically everything.

Let them know that what works in their favour today might be their greatest undoing tomorrow.
They should remember that what goes round definitely must come round.
It's a matter of time.


Fountain of Knowledge indeed!

Watching from sideways.................

stinggy:
Where are the roads?
And you don't expect me to cycle for an hour and yet give my best at work.

Advise government to get the rails fixed first!

Trust Nigerian Governments and its Agencies. Always putting the cart before the horse. Always with a misplaced priority.

Yet they said they are ROAD Safety Agents.

Where are the roads for cyclers let alone being safe?
Or, is it the road where Motorcycles can't be tolerated they are talking about?
