be reasonable for once,1.you don't have to be a father Christmas to help a needy friend,2.i don't really know how you plan explaining to the court that it was a campaign fund based on the available evidence as no election or campaign of any sort was mentioned, 3.From the statements, it was Goodluck helping Obj as a friend and not Goodluck helping the Ghana guy.....youve got nothing on him sis...we have to be realistic and factual ..
just for the records,theres no law existing barring candidates from receiving foreign donations for their campaign..such laws may exist only in individual party constitutions under their ethics n code of conduct

It is also of great interest that Mr. Mahama took office as President of Ghana in July 2012, suggesting that unless Obasanjo took advantage of his quarrels with Jonathan in 2013 and 2014 for financial gain, it could only have been in the second half of 2012 that he was on sufficiently-happy terms with Jonathan to have asked him for money for the Ghanaian leader.

BADNEAT:
all those saying GEJ was implicated are either fools or simpletons....did the woman ever say GEJ helped in his capacity as the president?? so if obj needs financial assistance, Goodluck cannot be said to have helped from his private coffers? really don't get how some people reason at all..in a competent court of jurisdiction, there is no case against GEJ as he only helped a friend In need..he was not mentioned in the money laundering scheme...when it comes to helping the Ghana guy,there is not incriminating, not even on obj or they lady...it was just a pure case of financial assistance, not gratification or bribery.!!!!so you guys should use your heads small

He also attributed the poor power provision being witnessed across the country to those he named demon-possessed Nigerians who he said deduce pleasure in vandalising gas pipelines without any reasons.

Nigeria’s power consumption per capita is one of the lowest in the world and that is part of the efforts of government to reverse that. So I ‎don’t think it is in the best interest of the country to reverse privatisation

Ralphlauren:
You dey mind that nursing assistant?

She's nairaland number one female bigot. A "mother" with kids the oldest over 1yrs yet she's got no iota of shame.

Now she's asking for evidence of her hate posts. Imagine!! So she thinks there are people as jobless as she is that will waste their time going through her over 16,000 posts on this forum to dig out her hate comments/posts towards the yorubas and especially the hausas.




I don't understand how a "wife and mother" that's fast approaching 40, will rack up so many posts on nigeria village square and rack up so many posts on nairaland.

What's happening to the nursing agencies in US? Them no dey "shear" shifts give this woman? Abi care homes don finish for houston?

babyosisi:
It's amazing how silly you folks sound and don't even realize it
Do you sincerely believe Ariyo's statement should have attracted no comments whatsoever or reactions from Igbos?
Do you folks really expect us to be that stupid?
This is very insulting
Why is a protest against a man named ariyo for his foolish utterances a protest on the Yoruba tribe
Is he speaking for your tribe?
Then go ahead and admit so openly
I just hate your herd mentality,honestly

The former militant leader
said, ''Well, to me I am not
afraid of anything. I am fully
confident and if they
terminate it the better for us
because we will know that the
government doesn’t want
peace. So, that’s my own
belief.

Was he supposed to stay there forever? Power is momentary! Any selective probe will be resisted!

dearpreye:
You're the bigger fool here. Soon all of you will be asked to provide EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE on these your bogus accusations on GEJ, and like Oby, you'll all stutter.

President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, received governors of the All Progressives Congress, APC yesterday at the Defence House where he declared that Nigerians’ expectations from him are too high.
He therefore pleaded for patience with his incoming administration, stressing that Rome was not built in a day.

The governor, who also challenged the NWC to provide evidence of money released to him to prosecute the last elections, added that “only N30 million was received for the last two elections and to the glory of the Almighty God and support of Ekiti people, we won all elections outrightly. I therefore demand for the mode with which money was released to me by the NWC.”

Nigeria to me is greater than sectional or ethnic interests. I
can never regret supporting our leader President Jonathan
“I have always preached against ethnicity and tribalism and
the voting pattern in the election was a concern to me
personally, In the face of abuse, insult and open ridicule by
our friends and brothers we supported our leader President
Jonathan faithfully.

Mogidi:
Considering you're not from the SW, your rhetoric rings more hollow. Anyway am happy for the SW (if it makes them happy) for producing the official houseboy to the president.

. Partial Fuel Subsidy Removal
The decision of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency to withdraw the subsidy paid on crude oil and natural gas products was a brilliant one, but its timing was extremely ill-advised, hence the massive protests that greeted its announcement in 2012. Fuel subsidy is a price manipulation technique employed by the government to fix the pump price of petroleum products at certain amounts, irrespective of their actual market prices, in order to make them affordable for the average Nigerian. To compensate the retailers for their losses, the government pays them the difference between the fixed prices of the products and their actual prices as determined by market forces. Needless to say, this subsidy regime is not sustainable and it goes against the principles of capitalism which Nigeria practices. If fully implemented, the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria will free up as much as $6 billion per annum, a sum that can be channelled into other sectors of the economy. But, the downsides of a rushed total fuel subsidy removal are numerous: an immediate spike in the pump price of petroleum products, transport fares and foodstuff; an increased spate of layoffs and business closures due to a rising cost of production; rising unemployment; an attendant deterioration in the standard of living of the average Nigerian; and civil unrest.
