They should watch out because you won't sacrificed your life to ruin them given the opportunity right ?

I'm not surprised that most irredeemably dishonest PDP Zombies like you wish us to continue to be at the mercy of 'judges' who give judgements like the examples below as your hate and bitterness about the daura mallam trumps everything in your existence

I leave you with these quotes by Lee Kuan Yew (whom you guys desperately wished GEJ could resemble), a first class law graduate of Fitzwilliam college who won the Fitzwilliam's Whitlock Prize and went on to be returned as prime minister of Singapore a record 6 times.



Posterity will judge criminals like you who refuse to fight for the thousands languishing in police cells and prisons while your 'hero' held sway like those in the link below but instead prefer to speak up for crooks who have ensured you are no better than a wailer with a keyboard and free browsing data

How has that contributed to your purse if he reveals their atrocities? It is better for you to realize that the more divided these set of thieves are, the better for Nigeria.

LastProphet:
you are a shame to humanity. someone leaked information on thieves and you are here openly siding with thieves (sorry heroes ). what went wrong with ibo people? did your brains go on vacation? what makes you imagine any sensible human being can endure listening to the poo you just typed? why are ibos assuming everybody is ok with stealing and thieves? ibos are a shame to humanity

obongtunji:
It beats my imagination when people like you call Amaechi Judas. Amaechi never betrayed anybody because he was suspended from pdp and he decided to join APC and was even DG of campaign organisation for PMB, with this everybody knows where he belong. The last time I checked Judas pretended to love Jesus but sold him out without anybody knowing but reverse is the case when we talk about Amaechi and Jonathan. Please if you don't know the meaning of betrayal you better check your dictionary and if you have forgotten the story of Judas just go and dust your Bible. Take it or leave it Amaechi is a lion, he confronted his fears even when people like you never gave APC a chance and he came out victorious, I just like him for that

my dear friend, have you not taken time to read my signature?

If i ever imagined he could be a 'madam' like GEJ, i wouldn't have campaigned for him o. I hope he remains a tyrant.

Chinua Achebe mouthed the proverb below in that evergreen classic ''Things Fall Apart''

Eleke nti oba the bird said since the sons of men have learnt to shoot without missing, he too has learnt to fly without perching

The average Nigerian politician is an ANIMAL and if he's treated like one, i have no sympathy today neither will i develop any for him tomorrow.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

when i see the comments of my fellow Deltans celebrating criminals, thuggery and impunity, i feel so ashamed, the truth remains that the average Deltan needs reorientation, they do not know the meaning of good governance, as a matter of fact they have not felt good governance, just come to Delta state and see how criminality is being celebrated, i will use my community as an example for glorifying criminality and the repercussions. my community, Ekpan in Uvwie L.G.A. have a known criminal is their leader, enthroned by the king of the kingdom, he was once a thug worked for the past pdp govt in the state, now he calls the shot in the community, he empowers the uneducated thugs by giving them sensitive positions i the community. Ekpan community is not just a small community, its the real oil city, it host the WRPC, PPMC, CHEVRON, NGC, NESTOIL and many other multinationals to name but a few. but the community is still in the dirt in terms of development, the main public secondary school there is a write off, the hospital there is like where pigs are kept.
you see we have a big problem in Delta state, only God can deliver us, look at the so called enlighten ones on nairaland celebrating criminality, its the general mentality here in delta state, warri especially, because Ibori tarred some roads, build some structures, and they see him as someone that has done so much, and majority of these guys have never crossed out of the state. when i compare the revenues of delta and cross river state and the level of development there, i just weep every day. Warri is like a huge dump site, thugs harassing citizens collecting money from them and nobody is saying anything.
all these things i have seen and resolved in my heart to attain power by going into politics, there is a saying that evil thrives because the good ones refuse to do anything about it. i just pray God see me through.

No bros, YOU do some good research before posting LOBBISH!!!

@aieromon: Thanks for your post, FLAWDadam can now be corrected

@Op WHO said they have removed fixed charge?
WHEN did they say they've removed it?
Is it a supposed to be a done deal or a proposed action?
Boko, don't misinform us, I believe I read something like February and I wasn't surprised when I got charged today, waiting for February.

Do you even have a brain at all sef?... What kind of human being is this? ... or is this that time of the day when you smoke your brains away?.. If with all what I just pointed out last to you, this is the only response you can come up with, then I probably have been wasting my time talking to a drunk. Good day.

obailala:
I am tired of hearing this continuous empty talk about how GEJ's wonderful economic policies turned Nigeria to heaven and then Buhari came in and reversed everything. Even an infant knows that when there is high inflow of forex (oil money), the economy flourishes, but as soon as the inflow of forex stops, the economy shrinks (except there was savings).

Meanwhile with all the wonderful and economic policies of GEJ and his adept team, can you kindly tell me what happened to Nigeria's economy between November 2014 and May 2015?... Even with the so called wonderful economic team and policies, Nigeria's economy turned around on its head as soon as the oil price crash kicked in; the Naira value fell from around N170 to N220, the GDP growth rate crashed from the highs of 6-7% to about 2.3% (its lowest in over a decade), even the FG had to borrow money to pay common salaries to FG workers even though at this period oil prices were still over $60/barrel as compared to $32/barrel which it is today.

But now, GEJ supporters like yourself have conveniently overlooked all this and hung the entire blame on Buhari's head for the nosedive in our economy?... How treacherous! You claim Buhari does not have an economic policy and that is why things are bad. Obviously in your fantasy world, you expect Buhari to conjure magicians and prophets from heaven to come and manage an economy which currently has no money; probably you want these angel economists to pluck forex reserves from trees to balance the economy. You obviously did not see anything wrong in a nation not saving for the rainy day, but now the rainy day has come, you expect voodoo economists to come and manufacture money to cushion the effect or a recession?

Now let met put it straight in a nutshell, contrary to what any voodoo economist tells you, there is absolutely nothing that can be done on the short term to bring Nigeria out of its current recession except we resort to massive borrowing or recovery of looted funds. There is no amount of economic policy that can make an economy which has no money to be instantly buoyant. Whatever it is that can be done by even the best economists, the positive effects will take a reasonable time to manifest. If this oil prices doesn't rise soon, things will only get worse.

And finally, it is meaningless to compare the performance of Jonathan who ruled in time of plenty, to a Buhari who has only held sway for less than a year in a time of deep recession. If you must compare both leaders, then compare with Jonathan's performance in handling the economy between October/November 2014 and May 2015 and you will be shocked at what a failure he was. I rest my case!

obailala:
Both statements are unfortunate. But if you want to be honest about which is more callous, it is common sense. GEJ boasted to punish his own followers because the governor of their state, just one (1) man was against him. He boasted that they should not expect a single federal project. Now compare that to PMB who stated that areas which didn't give him much support shouldn't expect 'equal' treatment with areas which gave him overwhelming support. Both statements are unfortunate and I would have loved to leave it at that, but since you chose to quantify which is more unfortunate, even an infant can tell how lowly and diabolic the statement of GEJ was. Besides, unlike PMB who only spoke, GEJ actually made good his threat.

What on earth are you yapping about?... even an infant knows the difference between statutory federal allocations and federal government projects. Every state receives its statutory allocations and that has always been the case since 1960 till date irrespective of president. We are referring here to federal government projects and not federal allocations. The statement of GEJ in that regard was totally indefensible!

In your bid to introduce insults, you are unknowingly exposing your own unintelligence. I do not believe I am arguing with a 5 year old pupil so I did not think I needed to spell out everything for you in the kindergarten style for you to understand. I'm sure you are a smart adult but you are now obviously trying to play dumb because you lack what to say.

[A] For a nation of over 170 million people which imports most of its essential needs, a foreign reserve of $29billion is a dangerously low figure. That's the reason why CBN is desperately guarding the meagre reserves. When you were a teenager, a savings of N20,000 may have passed you as a rich boy, but your dad having N50,000 as total savings with a family of 6 to cater for, that is a dangerously low figure.

[B] The income of a nation reduces by over 60% and you dare to act like you do not know the implications of that?... I do not know whether you have a job, but assuming you do and your employer suddenly cuts over 60% of your income, would it be sensible for any human to expect your standard of living to remain the same?... So much for Mr. Intelligence.

You absolutely need not say more because you will only expose your gross ignorance more and more.

In July 2008, global oil prices peaked at $147 (the highest ever) and do you know what reasonable leaders do when that happens?... THEY SAVE!
In just over a year of Yaradua's administration, Nigeria had grown its foreign exchange reserve from about $42bn to $62bn. However, an oil price crash similar to the one we suffer now happened and global crude prices plunged from $147 to about $40/barrel. The only reason why Nigeria survived that crises in 2008 was because we had savings; it cost Nigeria about $20billion within a year to cushion the effect of the 2008 oil price crash. We did not survive because of any "adept FG economic team or astute policies" like you ignorantly allude, Nigeria survived because we had leaders then who knew the importance of saving for the rainy day. Today, Nigeria is grappling with the devastating effect of a volatile oil price all because we had a leader who didn't think it was necessary to save a dime and here we have someone who brags about his intelligent trying to justify and glorify such reckless and retrogressive style of leadership. God forbid!

Ioannes:
spin it all you want Mr. spin master, it doesn't change the fact that during gej's tenure crude sold for $120/barrel, the highest so far in the nation's history.

where is the money today? in the hands of yam eaters.

it doesn't change the fact that when gej got there dollars sold for #155 and when he left dollar was already selling for #230.

it doesn't change the fact that in 2009/2010 when Jonathan took power external debt was $3.947billion

when Jonathan was leaving in 2015, our external debt was $9.4billion. despite a boom in the international oil sector.

obailala:
Buhari made only a 'statement' and you have crucified and buried him. Yet you want to completely exonerate GEJ who not only made a statement but also made good his threat by not bringing FG development to Rivers state?... you claim GEJ did it for only one year and for one state so therefore it no biggie?... Chaii!.. This must be dried paw-paw leaves at work.

Oh... You claim Amaechi received federal allocation so therefore the Rivers people had nothing to complain about?... is it federal allocation we are talking about here?.... Please tell me one single 5% state that has not received federal allocation since Buhari took over?... In fact kindly tell me one single SE or SS state that has not received federal allocation since the beginning of Nigeria in 1960?... What exactly is even the marginalisation that the SE and SS are complaining about since you have chosen to equate federal presence with 'routine federal allocation'?.... You really need to stop smoking those dried leaves for your own good

Gbam!... You have said it all, there is basically nothing left for me to say; you have just made life easy for me with these your statements I didn't know you were even this smart all these while so why on earth have you been stressing me?

If you actually know that an economy blossoms when money flows, and shrinks when money stops flowing, so why have you been directly comparing Buhari's handling of the economy (in recession) to GEJ's handling of the economy when there was obviously plenty?... Do you honestly think that's a fair comparison?... You even acknowledge that the economy also shrunk rapidly under GEJ when oil prices started falling, so why on earth are you crucifying PMB when you actually know the reason behind the current shrink?

You are obviously a very amusing and confused fellow; kindly compare this your statement with the statements you just made above. You previously acknowledged the global oil prices crash and its attendant effect on Nigeria's income and economy; a problem which affected the later end of GEJ's administration and which is still affecting PMB's administration. Now after acknowledging this obvious problem which even a pre-schooler understands, you have turned around to now claim that we have income and we have savings and that the problem is PMB's inaction? Could this irrational flip be the effect of those paw-paw leaves?

mapet:
Army under GEJ? .... I think you should ask Alex Badeh that question....

mapet:
Ok. I remember this.

Well take your pick. Where's the $1b today?

mapet:
Please refresh our memory the more. Specifically when did APC complain under previous government that their was too much loan?
