PoliticsRe: Amanpour Interviews Nigerians In Lagos About Power Outage by MahatmaGhandi: 9:45am On Feb 05, 2013
Ngwakwe: Nobody on this board is an I'd.iot or monkey.

Let's argue for or against Amanpour's assertions while being civil and respecting each others opinion without insults and name calling or abuse.

We have the transcript of her interview with GEJ, let's analyze/ decrypt the dialogue with the information on the ground.

Let there be no blind support for GEJ or criticism spur by hatred against GEJ.
thank you jor, Some comments are just irritating

was it a christian that tweeted it ?, a US ambassador was killed because of a video he knew nothing about, what do you have to say about that ? what you forbid dont share with your teeth. the joke is not the offense this is not to encourage such jokes though,the offense is the fact that same cannot be said of el rufai's prophet without heads rolling.

what will be the outcome of this debate if it eventually holds ?, what benefits does it have for the common man ?, who are they to be giving ultimatums ?, was our beloved oby not in govt at a time ? what change did she make in the life of the common man ?, are there no members of the opposition in the current government ? What changes have they been able to effect at least in their own little way ? a public figure that stands for justice, fairness and probity is usually not hard to spot, especially in Nigeria, where such people are almost extinct, even CNPP themselves are up to no good, They seem to forget that “Equity delights to do justice and not by halves”

MT: The post match interview by Keshi was disgraceful. His team has been robbed off valuable points, and he was busy fiddling with apple on screen. He was even asked by the zambian journalist if he was satisfied with the result and he said YES!!. He missed an opportunity to lambast the referee so as to send a signal to other referees in the forthcoming matches. He was laughing sheepishly , behaving like drunk in the full glare of the world. Shame!!

this is not about mikel missing a penalty, it is about a conspiracy that our NFF seems to be oblivious about, drawing two games because of refrees decision is not something that happens naturally in football, I expect to see fireworks from NFF with papers flying and phones ringing, with even threats of pulling out of the tournament if the issues are not addressed immediately, it is better not to participate than to participate in a tournament that you have been eliminated,from even before it begins, the boys played well, what went wrong is the fact that they know they can rob nigeria and get away with it.

PoliticsRe: Ms. Ann Kio Briggs: ‘jonathan Has Disappointed Nigerians’ by MahatmaGhandi: 10:08am On Jan 25, 2013
Boss13: I think Nigerians just want the government to be more transparent and accountable. People should also include their state governors and local government chairmen because they get allocations monthly. Honestly, Jonathan is still one of the best president so far. However, the rate of progress is slow and corruption is still on the high side. If only monthly publications of government spending ca be published and this can be confirmed by all and sundry, then we know we have an all inclusive government.
nice way to go
PoliticsRe: Ms. Ann Kio Briggs: ‘jonathan Has Disappointed Nigerians’ by MahatmaGhandi: 10:00am On Jan 25, 2013
ba7man: To be honest....Let's be a little fair on GEJ. At least he's revived the NRC, workin on NEPA, Agriculture and as per corruption, Ibori that used to be one of the most powerful men in Nigeria during Yaradua's tenure got prosecuted under his watch. He's probably punching above his weight by being president but he's making efforts.....He's not as firm as Nigerians require him to be on corruption and terrorism, that's why I'm not keen on him returning 2015.

states the merger will never win with buhari as the candidate : imo,anambra,enugu,delta,edo,bayelsa,akwa-ibom,cross river,benue,rivers,abia,ebonyi,platue the implication of this is that 2/3 of the total states that make up the federation will not be won, without which a winner cannot be decleared, the merger should do thier home work, theses states are sure-bankers for an anti buhari ticket(my thoughts).
PoliticsRe: How Will You Rate Jonathan's Interview With Amanpour? by MahatmaGhandi: 10:20am On Jan 24, 2013
we all are looking at the now without looking at what the future holds, i am not a GEJ fan but the myopic nature of the criticisms of this man will for ever leave a scar in our leadership, it is wrong to criticise anyone the way this man has been criticised, if he drinks water with a rubber cup people scream he drinks water like a pauper stupid fisher man from a otueke, if he does same with a glass cup they scream he has used all our cash to buy fancy cups, go back nigeria history and play the interviews of past presidents even obj not to mention YARADUA and tell me how much of an orator these guys were, what you guys don’t see is the fact that when a northerner becomes president again the barrage of criticism that will come from the south will be more than he can bear, they will pick on everything he or she does whether good or bad, this is not how to go about criticising someone it is not good for our democracy, the bitterness and bad-fate in the criticisms are too much, lets be objective and reasonable with our criticism. the best way to criticise anyone you want to improve is to first tell him at least one positive about what he has done and tell him three that needs improvement, that is how civilised people criticise, there is a criticism that seeks to pull down and another that seeks to make good or repair.
PoliticsRe: What Obasanjo And Yar’adua Told Me-soludo by MahatmaGhandi: 12:42pm On Jan 21, 2013
Sincere 9gerian: The summary of the whole story is that if Yar Adua had not fallen ill and GEJ became the acting president within the period of the election, Soludo would have become the governor of Anambra state by hook or crook.

Well, I have nothing against Soludo being governor of Anambra state (I sincerly wish he could succeed Peter Obi) but I am TOTALLY against manipulation of the electoral process to achieve predetermined goals.

A 'discredited' person who ascends to power with full support and mandate of his people, humbled by the circumstance of his ascension to power, may turn out to be good leader. On the other hand, those who 'have something to offer' (in the thinking of some god father) but are installed to leadership position without input from the people, may most likely put the interest of the god fathers and 'babas' first before that of the people. Such preventable distraction may hinder the performance of such persons.

No matter how good or whatever goodies some persons have to offer, they MUST pass thru a free and fair election. Leaders at all levels MUST ascend to position of authority thru the vote of the people. There's NO substitute for free and fair elections.
this sounds so much like Niccolò Machiavelli
PoliticsRe: Realistic Options For Opposition Presidency In 2015? by MahatmaGhandi: 12:31pm On Jan 21, 2013
what i see playing out here for the most part is tribal sentiments and religious bigotry, the question is not the desired candidate of the regions but a realistic and permit me to add viable opposition candidate, one that can be called a Nigerian opposition, not a northern, southern eastern or western opposition, this opposition should be able to match the strength of the 'establishment' blow for blow and virtue for vice, must he be hausa, yoruba, ibo or ijaw, NO !!!!, there are other ethnic groups in Nigeria for God sake, the strength of the pdp is its knowledge of its customer and its ability to be innovative in its effort to satisfy them, first they came with obj and they won, whether flawed election or not, then yaradua and still they won, they brought GOODLUCK and they won again, my guess is they will bring some in 2015 that will appeal to the sentiments of nigerains, this is what the opposition have not been able to do or cannot do because they run a one man show, in the pdp that i know knows that party interest comes first and need i say that they are about the only national party, every other party is regional, if the opposition will stand a chance they have to become national also, let me ask do you think the sultans, the emirs, the obas, the olus , the ovies , the peres and the obis are in the opposition party ?,i laugh in gangnam style if that is your thought, if the opposition will unsit the 'establishment' in 2015 then buhari must take off is turban and swim in the coastal waters of the south , west and the east, gaining their trust in the process, if he cannot, then i am sorry he won’t be president in the nearest foreseeable future,(assuming buhari is the messiah) he must take a good look at mahatma Ghandi;s life and start from there, at least martin Luther king jr and mandela looked at it, lets be real none of the candidate that has been mentioned can unsit the establishment, not in this life, not in the one to come. so you think IBB will allow buhari be president ?, you feel obj will allow buhari be president ?( ya ya I know obj is just one man and same goes for ibb, well these are one men (lol) that can do a lot), come on guys, the opposition must look for their own 'shoeless' candidate. coming to my choice of an opposition candidate, hmmm that is a hard one because even me 'no know', everyone seems to be interconnected, the present opposition consists of ex members of the pdp that will return at any time (ATIKU), this really looks like a long walk to a better nigeria, bottom line is there is no messiah in view, he may be somewhere but definitely not in view but then a Muslim that is not a northerner and a Christian that is a northerner won’t be a bad mix at all.(I may have over looked or over emphasised some points but then this is my honest opinion and stand to be corrected)

PoliticsRe: Jonathan’s 2015 Campaign Posters Flood Abuja by MahatmaGhandi: 12:34pm On Jan 03, 2013
if we take a good look at 2015 with a clear head one will find that however it goes there will be trouble, if jonathan or any other nigerian contests and wins there will be problems in the north,if a northerner wins there will be problems in the south, if an easterner does not become president, they will be disgruntled and will bring about more cry for biafra, who ever wins though i dont see the west being pertubed, my conclusion therefore is even if the whole of nigeria burns in 2015,the west will be in tact.i stand to be corrected

i do not think jonathan has anything to do with those posters (my thoughts),the topic says jonathan posters flood abuja, all i see is a few posters attached to dust bins,pls can someone in abuja confirm that actually GEJ's posters have been circulated in abj, when i say circulated i dont mean a couple of 50 posters in yanyan, because mischief makers could do this in other to get GEJ to say something about his ambition for 2015.

musiwa11: Boutrus Boutrus Ghali never claim he was going to do that.. the issue is Goodluck should not continue as president of Nigeria. from what he as done so far. he does not merit to remain president of Nigeria.. it is also hard to handover to a northerner, you will see more violent to. So before the election. We have to break up nigeria to 3.. and not 2..

if they dont break up nigeria.. there will be so much violent. and may end up in a civil war. Yoruba hate Goodluck with passion.. adeboye is a person who is not intouch with the people of nigeria.. he does not relate so much with them because of security issue.. I am tell you.. the Yorubas like many southerner hate Goodluck with so much passion. He does not merit to return from the view point of Yorubas.. and the northerners also believe he does not merit to return.

But you have to look at the political dynamic of Nigeria.. And you know you have to break up Nigeria into 3.. It is something we cant avoid at this point.. It is the only solution to save the lifes of millions of people.. they have reach the wall.. and violent is the only option the people of Nigeria are left with. So to avoid them going violent.. You just break it.. It is even best for this people.. i am telling you.. as long as you take care of everybody in that nation. they will agree..

the last time nigerian came out this much was in 1993. even while there have been several fuel increase... in 1993 till Goodluck time, they increase fuel from about 7 or N10 to 60 some.. nearly N50 increase the people do not react this bad.. it tell you the level of hate they have for him.. watch the videos, they dont like him. His policy too have not be fair.. that i will say.. look at his budget.. he has not been fair..

the yorubas so much hate Goodluck, not only the northerners they will piss over him. that how bad.. .

Goodluck is the first president in the history of Nigeria, that people are ready to commit suicide to get rid out.. more than 100 people have commited suicide in bomb attack.. that should tell you how bad.. they want him out.

despite the fact i dont like GEJ, i feel it wont be fair to point fingers at GEJ and PDP excluding the
governors and other political parties,some other political parties has at least one state under their control, can we call any one of these opposition controlled states the dubai of nigeria ? if the answer is NO then the opposition should shutup and put their house in order, if they cant transform the states under their control, how do they expect to transform the nation. other political parties have reps in the national assembly what difference have these reps made are they not part of the people stealing nigeria into oblivion, as far as i am concerned both the opposition and the ruling party are birds of a feather,difference being one has unlocked the code of perpetuating itself in office to the disatisfaction of the other thieves. tinubu's hand is not clean neither is buhari's, a wise man once said when you have to kill one of two things for the survival of one, becareful the one you kill and the one you spare, bottom line is if you want to insult GEJ or the PDP make sure to add the opposition too least you make the opposition look like saints.

PoliticsRe: Northern Muslim Elders To Asari Dokubo: Go And Read Your History by MahatmaGhandi: 9:23am On Aug 14, 2012
kettykin: From the above it seems Awolowo intended to be Neutral in the Civil war until he was forced to join the north, Really it was not the attempted invasion of Ore like some people are peddling all over the internet that caused Yorubas to join the war but the military might of the Caliphate.


I thought Adaka Boro, Edwin Clark and Ken Saro Wiwa all fought to unite the country, it was because of this kind of arrogant talk from Ahmadu Bello that provoked Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna to strike in 1966


If the above quote is true then will really really really have a very big problem at hand infact i will urge all and sundry to verify the aunthenticity of the quote before this is taken further , Offa happens to be somewhere in Kwara and building a 1 mile corridor from Offa to the wharf would have been the largest and longest express road in the world and he went further to say that nobody could stop the people of the north who number 120 million from acessing the sea.
which means that the OPC,Afenifere,MKO,OBJ,Black scorpio and all the generals that yoruba have ever produced are nothing but useless noise makers.

Now we are getting to where the rain started beating us , i have been pondering why Gowon and Danjuma have all been quiet during the Boko Haram uprising but only come out when Biafrans make noise, could Nigeria actually be a conquered territory of the hausa fulani ? if not how come major players in the civil war have not come to refute this statement .The clowns who have been parading them selves as he heroes of the civil war have all gone to sleep and will wake up when little Uwazurike opens his mouth
Gowon's conscience from all I have observed pricks him ,I have this deep feeling that he regrets that civil war, but acknowledging that he was wrong before nigerians will be a big dent on his pride and image so he would rather just half heartedly say one nigeria in words but in heart I just have this weird feeling he weeps.my thoughts though
