Again and again one is given to a second look at the membership of this Forum. Really dampens one's enthusiasm for a stimulating discourse to see that the first line of comment on this thread are so light and not even constructively so. Well, what the rulings clearly indicate is that if there was any modicum of elections fair and free during the period in question it was so minute it vanished in milliseconds! Sad! Really sad!! For once it is hoped a free and fair elections will hold so folks can elect freely!

Thank you for pointing out level of discourse here. One will expect an engaging exchanging but what do you get an exchange of banters lower than what is expected if primary school student. I have found nairaland forum a very fertile land for topics and issues that could recreate a gretaer Nigeria but what do u get, crass stupidity in response to issues. Its not mandatory to comment but 1 can enrich ones mind by reading fruitful exchange. I hope d moderator can do something about this

Let me start by asserting my yorubaness, if there is any word like that, my username says a lot about who i am and if you prefer you can check my profile. Firstly i will like to point out that what dialogue has not achieved war can never never get it done. What Mr Kwankwaso suggested in his presentation is the best solution to the situation we have found ourselves today. I belong to a society (THE INNER CIRCLE) in my university days in ibadan and our creed is "by chance u are made brothers but by choice u make friends" we are here in this geographic entity Nigeria and it is our choice to make it work. Within a family there are several variations of the same genetic composition and hence no two individuals behave the same way. Can we then go ahead to do a forensic analysis of the peace or otherwise that exist within the family. The most apropriate answer is compromise. How this is then achieved can best be attributed to education. Let me take the issue of peace. The man has thru education both formal or otherwise realize that the other man is his other half and the best thing to do is to accept him with both flaws and otherwise. In the case of the other side of peace, thru education both formal or informal he has taken a stand that maybe detrimental to the society and that is his belief except something very concrete is done to correct this. Now going back to Mr Fani Kayodes fanning of war to correct the excess of the fulani cattle rearers, does 2 wrongs make a right, has war ever ever settle any dispute, please observe the recent uprising about Biafra. With war u only conquer people but you dont change thier passion and passion is like a festering wound it will be there for ever. Its quite easy to fan the embers of war on the pages of newspaper but the consequencies is more devastating than what one can ever thought of. Serving as a youth corper in old Imo state in 1990 the impact of 1966-1970 civil war was still very evident. Yoruba has a saying "eni ija oba lonperae lokurin" translated literarily means its you thst have not seen war that clamours for it. If i may ask where was Mr Fani Kayode during the civil war, i bet he was well tucked away safe inthe UK. What he is insinuating now, if paraventure happens, he has visas for family and most especially his beautiful girlfriend with wish he elopes to a safe haven. Who bears d brunt? We the defenseless citizen. Secondly, he made reference to chief Olu Falaes kidnap. I am so glad that the perpetrators have been arrested and they all attested to the greed that fanned thier criminal intentions. I want to ask are there no criminals worse than this from other part of the country? From tnier confession they never knew who thier abductee was. It was thier greed that propelled them to carry pitthier nefarious activity. Now let us critically asses the root cause of all this kidnapping, cultisim, armed robbrey etc. Is it not because of the unnessary flouting of wealth by people who are suppose to set good example. How can one explain the unsatiable splash of Range Rover sport by an elderly man who is above 50 on a girl that is less than 30. How do you expect her peers who has just graduated from schools to think. You can not ever ever sow maize qnd expect to reap cassave. What you have sown shall ye reap. Billions of naira pillfered away by our leaders Mr Kayode inclusive could so well have bought Nigerian youths education that can make us distinguish between right and wrong. Now coming to the fulani herdsmen problem, i will lay a substantial blame to thier leaders in the north who instead of giving them education has preferred to retain the almajiri culture, but can we the yorubas blame God for situating us in this entity called Nigeria. No, its not by our choice but what can we do? With education and understanding we can peacefully coexist. I watched a documentary about cattle rearing in kenya where the cattle are reared on barley planted on virtual soil. This may sound so difficult but is achieveable. I am so sure what mrkwankwso istalking about is education that will foster a peaceful coexistence of Nigerian

for the first time on this website, i can say i have seen an engagement of greta minds. I bet u,if most of us on this website can keep our engage as civil and issue oriented as done by posters of the first and second page of this post, very we going to have a Nigeria that will be good to us all. Let me tell the tribal warlords and other senseless posters, it is not by our choice that we found ourselves in this geographical contraption called Nigeria. Having found ourselves here, i think the most sensible thing to do is to contribute our quota in making the place better. I am for one united Nigeria.

kazmanbanjoko:
Wen i saw d op of dis post, i noticed he/she is anti-APC. So, no need of reading d post bcoz i knw its irrelevant.

you should

taharqa:


Just keep your mouth SHUT and quit spunrning this 'once the head is good' nonsense that you clowns have all of a sudden remembered now.

GEJ has personally Never been accused of been directly corrupt or link to a direct corruption case, whether as a Dep Gov, Gov, Vice President and President. In spite of the outrageous propaganda against his person and Govt by APC and others who opposed his administration including some spies in his own Govt, no one has directly linked him to a corruption case. What you guys have always said us that people around him were corrupt and that he sometimes appointed corrupt people into his Govt. This is exactly what Buhari has just started doing with his very 1st appointments. And you say people should not ask questions.

Make una wait. This one na small tin sef. We would observe the same rules that you guys wrote during GEJ admin. And we intend to leave no doubt in your minds that we too can play the game, in fact Extremely well

Not at all. I will agree that Gej has been lucky that he has not beenaccussed directly buti can assume his being luckly due to his being shielded by the rot of pdp. Now to the head issue , i want to let u know that if in an organisation the CEO gets to work at six am in the morning do you know that the staffs too will fall in line and never come late. The buck falls at GEJ stable. Can i ask u who is the person being accussed of corruption in Gejs cabinet nd who lost the election

AndreRose:
Probably the journalist was jailed because he lawfully used his journalism position to dissipate information to the people which Buhari saw as a threat to him and jailed the journalist. Yes, Buhari has apologised but this is the same thing that can be presumed to have happened recently; the AIT has been warned from televising some things about him. What's the way forward for our journalist? Are they still gona have their freedom of information as enshrined in the constitution after may 29?
And again,look who is talking about the dirty tactics of PDP like he didn't use Bokoharam to put GEJ off. And minors equally voted in the north. Is that what you call a "decent campaign"?
Jonathan was decent enough, despite being the president he conceded, would Buhari had done that? We all know the answer.

How can u stand reason on its head when its quite evident that GEJ delibrately allow d BH issue to fester for pecuinary gains. Can u tell us why it was easy forhim tofight them in the past few weeks after being at the elm of affiars in the six years.

I wonder how some people reason. With all these rots, depravation and degradtion in the system, some people still wants us to believe that nothing has happened in the past 16 years that warrant us askingfor change. I was just watching channelstv and series of protest from 1 state to another. I am very certain that some people will be surprisw by the achievement of GMB inthe next 4 yrs that it will be difficult to eat thier words

Classicalman:
Illiterate commentators. Have any of you anti Jonathians gone through the report? Of course you are too lazy to read but have the strength to abuse.

Sorry, let me educate you. In the first place when the missing dollar crises blew open, the minister for finance promised us "forensic audit" of NNPC books. What most Nigeria expected is a thorugh look into of the books and its very baffling that a company of PWC status will allow themselves to be used to cover a grevious sleaze. Its God working for Nigeria that made GEJ lost the election, else they have fooled themselves that a forensic audit has been done. I need to ask you, to what accounting purpose would that review which PWC themselves has placed a disclaimer be put? Let us avoid commenting on issue with blind sentiment

Bevista:
d. Provide a brief over-view of CBN, NNPC, NCC, Customs and FIRS.

Did you read the words "brief overview". Maybe i should educate you it means summarize what the hand over notes says about the parastatal listed.

cold:

Go check out what is happening in Burundi at the moment then you'll understand the enormity of GEJ's action in conceeding defeat.

While agreeing that Gej did so well by not conscripting us to the Burundi situation but i want to point out that it very very late now to cry over split milk. Gej did so well to have conceeded defeat but could still have gone to the tribunal to at least test the victory of Gmb, if for nothing for posterity. The electoral act gave him 21 days after the declaration of result, he did not and now having seen how much he has lost to which Apc/Gmb is taking advantage of his total surrender he is now getting angry. Oga it is too late

I have some pertinent questions for the writer and @OP. Have you read through the PWC report? Have you seen the Nuhu Ribadus report on fuel subsidy? Did your madam submit her self to the constitutional backed probing of the house, she has no skeleton her cupboard? Have you converted the said amount $20billion into naira and thier extrapolate what impact such amount could have on common Nigerian in terms of infrastructure and wellbeing? You will agree with me that in every rumour there is a certain percentage of truth. If your sponsor knows that she is clean of this accusation then she does not need spending money on PR jobs like this. It will preposterous of anybody to suggest that a new govt about to be sworn into office to hear of these grevious sleaze in NNPC and sweep it under the carpet, most especially if you have the love of the downtrodden Nigerians like this new govt has in mind.

socialmediaman:
This is not right! Riot act should be read to the Nigeria police to respect human rights, this man should be arrested and given a citation at the police station, not treated this way

I beg to disagree. Did you know that that morning that this incident happened a man was knocked down and killed by a car. Did you know that why the corpse was lying there at the middle of the road some people still jumped across the road. Truth must be told human rights and all that is not meant for some of us, as the brain some of us carry is that of agoat and the best treatment for them is what you have seen in the pix

Now i can now see the reason why they did not want to release the report before the elections. If they had won, we will never have heard of this report. This is what people like Femi Aribisala want us to continue with.

lalasticlala:




http://ynaija.com/femi-aribisala-dear-buhari-cannot-fight-corruption-corruption/

I av to sincerely confess that after reading the first two paragraph i was prompted to stop and the urge to respond was so high. Yes Apc is an amalgam of several bodies. Ofcourse, one can not really say all of the member of Apc are of high integrity, but a journey of a thousand miles starts with a step. With the expose on the pwc audit report and several other cases of blatant stealing of our commonwealth, i doubt if any sensible human will want us to continue with the present government. A very common saying is that when the head rotten the tail will definately not be ok. Mr Aribisala can never doubt the integrity of GMB as an anti corruption crusader and as the head of Apc govt all other s will behave so your ranting Mr Aribisala your ranting is that of a sore loser who is venting his anger by his vituperations. I willl advice you to spare us this ranting and wait till when GMB comes into power and corruption is not curbed

vacanci:


At the time you made this comment, I looked at all comments above you but could not find anywhere someone complained about Tinubu. Why this heated comment to spur people

His comment is in reference to the mention of Tinubu in the story posted by op

barcanista:
Bros, it is not business as usual o

some people are sore losers and will go on and on ranting because they lost. This ranting will cloud thier sense of reasoning such that they can distingish between right and wrong. It is over acting to expect GMB to bring angels from heaven to come and do d cleansing of the rot that has been forced on us by pdp. What you need to know is that the head of thje fish is very important. Once the head is good as we have in GMB then the tail will be tantalizing on the tongue. Give GMB a chance, he has not even been sworn in.

Linzo:
Please my people of SS/SE let's rise up and fight the baboons and the monkeys in the Zoological Republic call Nigeria. We need our freedom, our independence. we dont want to live with monkeys and boboons agains i mean the yoruba/housa/fulani

What baffles with most of who are blowing trumpets of want aways are kids who was not here during the civil war. Have u ever looked at the economic implication ur wish. Do you know what our people most especially those of ss who has investment scattered over Nigeria. Ask people who were around during the civil war whathappened to properties owned by people of that part. One thing u guyshave to know is that God has bundled us together, thou the constitution maynot be perfect but is it not better to finda means of making the union work rather than fanning ember of war

[quote author=kastonkastrol post=32737144] [b] this kinda chest beating is the sole reason why you guys are politically naïve. You just have to say "we igbos" when you could simply say "nigerians".

@topic. This write up is lace with bigotry and hate, I will advice the writer of this disjointed rubbish to accept the defeat of jonathan in goodfaith and move on. He is praising the pdp guys that conceded defeat and congratulated APC guys, but he himself is yet to accept the fact that his jonathan has been wiped so hard. Is kinda funny when these cry babies shout about underaged voters in the north and say nothing about the election fraud that happened in:

• enugu(where one single void vote was not recorded)
• rivers( where election didn't even take place and jonathan miraculously got 1.4million votes.
• akwa ibom
• delta state( where the number of accredited voters is the same with that of lagos state and about 75% of registered voters all voted in the just concluded presidential election. SMH


Anyway is non of my business when some certain people choose to cry and wail about buhari's victory. [/b]
[/quote Thank you my broda the ranting is that of a bad loser who has refused to accept that he has been badly wiped. I pray for a day where we will all see ourselves as Nigerians and not ibo,hausa oryoruba

honourhim:



Your analysis is not balanced. Have you forgotten that here is a case of two yoruba men unlike in the presidency where you have an ijaw/hausa against hausa/yoruba? Lets say the igbos gave Jonathan a block vote in Lagos while the Yorubas gave Buhari same because of Osibanjo. Now Jimi and Agbaje will have to share the votes that yorubas gave to Buhari. Add the Yoruba votes to igbo block votes for Jimi and see what the result will look like, bearing in mind that the votes gap between Jonathan and Buhari was slim.

This is just as a matter of man's calculations anyway. It may or may not go this way in reality though. God knows the best. Let the best candidate win.

What you have failed to put into consideration is the fact that yorubas are not prostitutes voters. Go back into history when yorubas decide they are toeing a particular line they do so enmass except those who in minority that does otherwise. As u jhave assumed that yorubas vote enblock for Buhari so shall they vote for apc tmrw. Jks vote will be that minoty yorubas, and other tribes that i am very sure will be splited down d middle

Reading thru this, i can feel the pains of a badbelle belyaching because pdp lost. I just can not rationalize your reasoning that a particular tribe was delibrately disenfranchise. Most of us were greatful that with the help of technology we are getting to clean the augean stable of election rigging and somebody is complaining here that some people are disenfranchise. We may not be there but we shall get there, where Nigerian voters shall be the determinant of who shall govern them.

tripod:
Op you have the right not to agree with her. What u think about her does not change the fact that most of the pple calling gej a hero do so based squarely on sentiments.
For your to get the gist of her discuss you have to disabuse your mind. Lets wait for the report on gej's administration after may29 to see how much of a hero he realy is.
For me gej does not fit in the mould of a hero. His policies and actioons leading to the general elections were very unpopular. Even in the face of defeat he was still desperate and hungry. He neve wanted to leave. Forget about what you see on the surface.
All na wash!

Bro u hit the nail on the head. You are damn right. For a sitting president to sit and watch young graduates get fleeced and killed like that and thousands killed by bh without batting an eyelid............... Sure he can never be my hero. Listening to the call, can still 1 feel the disposition of a man who is desperate and making the call not by his inner will but the prompting of somebody.

I beg to disagree. He does not deserve that award. All those praising him for conceeding defeat and his call to GMB are doing so to console and grease the bruised ego of Mr president. As a leader the buck stops at your table. The blood of those killed in River state because of his desperation are crying for justice, not to talk of thousand killed bh because of his cluelessness or delibrate inaction exposed by his activity in the past six week. History will surely remember him and i am sure the organisers of Mo award will take cognizance of this.

Nasri100:
Political enhancement will be studied for
generations to come''

B itch please this some African mentality nonsense. Mitt Romney called Barack Obama to congratulate him even before the results were announced. Jonathan failed in his mandatory duties as President. Rather fancy he calls the mother of the Chibok girls, and aggrieved families that lost loved ones due to his incompetency.

God bless u my broda. I have watched with astonishment Tanoids and haters pour encomioum on Mr president for his call to Gen Buhari, thereby deflecting attention for his evident failures. History will never forgive him for the thousands of Nigeria killed by bh as a result of his inaction and cluelessness.
