This is good for our country, coming from a wise and patriotic Nigerian

Just the pure truth.

Totally agree with you, monies stolen must be returned, I don't care if it's my uncle that stole it. It should be recovered and use for the right purpose.
GOD Bless Nigeria.

tiger28:
loyalty??his story will change soon as efcc come calling

That's not my problem but his. Still, showing Loyality to ur boss is good. The level to which u will go depends on u. For me, I will never commit a crime, purge myself or illegality for him or with him. If u get the gist.
Peace.

Verge. But nice one. Loyality is good. Wish them both the best life has to offer, as they rest from the stress of managing nigeria.
God Bless Nigeria and everyplace else.

Remember the Brazilian striker. ALEJO. Then I had it at home, but prefer to play road side cos dats were u get real challenge.

If true, bless his kindness and calmness. Best of luck all ur endeavour.

barcanista:
Errrm I can be partisan when necessary but that doesn't mean I throw away my sense of objectivity.

Well said my friend.
Aw far now, long time.
Aw is being in opposition now.

This is a serious mess nigeria finds itself, we need to. Drop the blame game and start forging a way out of this mess.
GOD Bless Nigeria

All the best on the task at hand PMB

Let's hope something positive wld come out of that.

Truly deserves photo of day.

What with the no sense making comments but to book space. Its pathetic actually.

barcanista:
It is shocking that agents of the administration have started with their propaganda to deceive Nigerians. Only yesterday, Alhaji Lai Muhammed came out to praise the government and even stated that it has done a lot more than his predecessor. I believe that we should all look into the administration to determine the scector that Buhari performed. Please forgive me for the "lenghty write-up"

Corruption
It is on record that since President Buhari took over power from Dr Goodluck Jonathan, he is yet to initiate any high profile corruption case nor vigorously pursued those he inherited. Buhari inherited the case against exGov Timpre Sylva, disgraced Adamawa state exGov Muritala Nyako, his son Abdulaziz Nyako. He also inherited the case against exMinister Femi Fani Kayode, exGov Ali Modu Sheriff and immediate past Governor of Jigawa state Sule Lamido(and his sons). The case of Sylva is well publicised. Murtala Nyako was impeached for corruption and fled the country in 2014. He was declared wanted by EFCC in Feb 4, 2015 along with his son Abdulaziz Nyako. The exGov "magestically" returned to Nigeria 24hrs after Buhari took over. He reported himself to EFCC, drank coffee with the commission staffs and came out smiling. He has been granted "administrative bail" by the same commission that declared him wanted 5months ago. His son Abdulaziz was also declared wanted in Feb for N15billion fraud and was arrested in his hiding in Gombe state two weeks later. Funny enough the APC gifted him Adamawa South Senatorial ticket which they won. Nothing is heard of his case since Buhari took over. Modu Sheriff was first invited in April 23 by EFCC. He declined the invitation. The EFCC under Jonathan on May 24 announced that they will declare him wanted. Jonathan left power and Sheriff appeared from nowhere to visit EFCC. He himself went there to drink coffee and walked out. Nothing is heard of his case again. Buhari also inherited the case against FFK which EFCC under Jonathan had been pursuing with vigour. However, Buhari's EFCC failed to show up in court on the day of judgement. In fact, it was FFK's lawyer that was "begging" the judge to pass judgement on Thursday June 18. For the case of Sule Lamido, the EFCC had arrested his two sons for laundering N10billion in Nov 2013 which was linked to their father. Buhari inherited the case but the exGov "surrendered" himself to EFCC under Buhari, drank his own coffee and walked out gallantly. Not a single high profile corruption case that Buhari inherited is being pursued vigorously. The EFCC swooped on Ikedi Ohakim the ex-Imo state Governor few days ago and released him almost immediately. No case was heard about the former governor afterward.

In addition to the above, President Buhari is yet to initiate arrest and prosecution of any low profile case. The interrogation of NNPC officials was as a result of the May 18 directive that the exPetroleum Minister Diezani Madueke sent to EFCC after getting approval of then President Goodluck Jonathan. The 14 foreigners that are being tried for oil theft were arrested on March 8 under Jonathan by the Navy. They were later handed over to EFCC. The case of CBN fraudsters that are being tried for N8billion fraud was actually started in September 2014. The EFCC started their investigation in November 2014 and their arraignment followed after rigorous investigation. All these are under Jonathan. How many corruption cases has Buhari started? How can Buhari spokesperson claim Buhari has achieved more?

Security
Between Feb 13 and May 29, Nigeria recorded huge success against BH terrorists. Since Buhari took over, BH have struck more than 12 times, killing over 600 Nigerians as a result. The case of the Chibok girls is not even being talked of. So in what way has Buhari achieved more than Jonathan in Security?

Economy:
Since May 29, Nigeria's economy has been on the decline. According to The Punch, As of Thursday June 18, three weeks after the inauguration of the President on May 29, the value of equities listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange had declined by N238bn or 2.04 per cent, while the NSE All-Share Index fell by 2.47 per cent or 849.87 basis points.(Punch 19, June 2015). There is no policy framework on the economy as at today. Nigeria is floating on Auto-piloting system. So what has Buhari achieved?

Infrastructure, Education and Political Stability
Since taking over government, Buhari is yet to mix "cement and sand together" not to talk of kick starting infrastructural project. Nothing has even been heard of electrixity so far. Similarly, new policy direction has been heard on Education. The government and the party almost held the country and the National Assembly to ransom all because their preferred candidates lost principal office positions. This almost created a political chaos.
What has Buhari really achieved in these sectors?

Propaganda:
The government and their agents seem to be determined to "rule" the country according to the tenet of propaganda. Earlier this month, APC senior chief Nasir elrufai told the world that officers of past administration have started returning stolen money. Because it is was a lie, he couldn't name any official. He didn't even mention the amount returned, time the money was returned, and the receiving party.

The government is also trying to deceive Nigerians that they are winning the war on terrorism because foreign governments pledged support. However, they failed to tell Nigerians that the rhetoric support of foreign government is not new. In fact on May 14 2014, world powers pledged to Nigeria under Dr Jonathan that they will support the anti-terrorism war http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/missing-nigeria-schoolgirls/nigeria-will-conquer-boko-haram-goodluck-jonathan-says-n100116. It is also hypocritical and "propagandious" for President Buhari to count his "tour" as achievement just to deceive Nigerians.

The NNPC recently announced that the refineries "WILL" start working by next month (in their bid to give Nigerians the false hope that the government is working). However, they failed to tell Nigerians that President Buhari did not have a SINGLE input in the refineries turn around maintenance. In fact, he had no clue about what the contract papers look like. Anyway, the refinery is not working yet, we shall discuss more when it start to work.

In the first week of the administration, to appear transparent, the government tried to play on our intelligence by trying to use the secret Asset Declaration with CCB to equate the Public Asset Declaration. In fact, the spokesman of Buhari even boasted that by "declaring with the CCB, the President and his Vice had fulfilled their pledge". Nigerians resisted and insisted on seeing Buhari and Osinbajo Assets. They(APC) came up with another story that they are waiting for the 30days verification of CCB. Though we know their lies, we are counting on days and we shall remind them at the appropriate time.

I want to use this medium to appeal to the APC administration to forget the propaganda idea because we will not allow them such luxury. Nigerians should be rest assured that we will not stop to put the government to their toes despite the intimidation and verbal assault from some of their supporters.



Ramadan Kareem To All Muslims
God Bless Us All

Thank you barcanista for the wishes to all Muslims. GOD almighty bless us all. Ameen.
Firstly, I wld say I didn't go to all the articles be cos the few paragraphs I read, I beg to differ.
The gov't I'd trying to save cost of governance & want thesame gov't to go on spending on persecution. Is that wise enough.
Secondly, the president did not at anytime interfere in court proceedings, u hav a problem with the list corrupt property named above with evidence to back it up. Pls do the gov't the honour and persecute them. Thereby saving them cost of paying the lawyers.
And yes with what has been happening with this current gov't. I I'd say, they surpassed the previous, in terms of leadership style, been prudent, and taking actions. GOD Bless Nigeria and everyplace else.

Empredboy:
tell me any politician dat u know who have a biz running even in office? U see dats y they steal ur money because its a full time biz to them. I beg i can easily probe him after his term if his biz grows beyond expection. This man is prudent

The exact words prudent.
A teacher if I may add.

Sleekydee:
I don't get it, is cattle rearing a passion or what, baba cnt still tell me he has time for dis cattle's right now, abi na demo he they do ni? Oga oh, baba other investments dey na....

You still don't get it. Fulani is what we are, and fulani is what we will always be. Cattle rearing is in our blood. Is just like saying an igbo man to stop doing business or a yoruba man to stop acquiring certificate. Its that simple.
Proudly Fulani.
GOD Bless Nigeria and everyplace else.

What do u propose.

Thoughtful

barcanista:
What nonsense report is this? President Buhari should keep quiet if he has nothing to say. Who told him that NNPC don't know their all their bank account? Perhaps it is Buhari that can't remember NNPC bank accounts.

If they do, why are Acct no not revealed in their respective reports.

barcanista:
Why is it that state Governors will not concentrate on the business on Governance in their states but will be following the President about like they are Aides of the President. I doubt if it is what is obtainable elsewhere.


N/B: This applies to PDP and APC Governments

Owk the NB their least calmed me down.

Ferdinandu:
Mr Man if you have to be in our shoes you have to be anxious to Know how the Person you appointed to turn around your ailing company will go about turning it around. Start work joor. You said you know the problems and how to fix it before we elected you. Our patience is limited.

Oga, go joor. U no vote for Baba. No form progressive and impatient. All progressive are patients for the right thing to be done.

Seriously, better source plc.

Ur line isn't goin. Let's talk pls interested in the machine. Let's if we can agree bro.

nortcentrallord:
Every word that makes my sentence is well researched. I am a Nigerian and I know what I am saying. I also believe you know the truth too. All I care for is the well being of every Nigerian no matter who's balls is being broken.

Sincerely hope so. Rest my case.

nortcentrallord:
It will never happen with fairness just like apc would have never unsat pdp without propaganda and the media. Life is not fair. So far the outcome favors Nigerians, it is fair.

APC never use propaganda to unsit PDP out of power but rather they used thesame medium to tarnish the image of the APC Leaders. Do your research before commenting pls.

nortcentrallord:
What happened is CHANGE. And that is what you and many Nigerians stood for. Let our lives be an example of what we preach.
SAI CHANGE DOLE.

At least let it be with fairness, not what we have been seeing in PDP since the last 16years.

nortcentrallord:
Why the tears. Cry me an ocean. Isn't it best to have a mixture of the two parties as checks and balance for the benefit of the nation. If it's an all apc affairs just like the pdp did all the while then, where is the CHANGE?

So after been demoted too opposition, it's best to have both the ruling and opposition in leadership. What happened before then? When the PDP was ruling, why didn't they recognise the opposition before now. That they are opposition.

omenka:
Good evening all.

This thread isn't created to spite any one or any people. It is just a wake up call to majority Nigerians, who happen to be very poor at remembering events of history and how they are meant to shape our thought processes and indeed orientation.

Now, very interesting events happened in the last 24 hours in our National Legislative Chambers. Both chambers were inaugurated and their leadership elected. APC being the dominant party clinched the top spots in both chambers, but as we all know, PDP and her supporters seem to be the most jubilant party over the outcome of the elections, why, one might be tempted to ask.

In the run up to the general elections, Saraki whom PDP supported doggedly in the just concluded NASS election, was hounded by the same party, threatened with all manner of sanctions that eventually culminated in his exit from the party. His rift with the party (PDP) and the presidency back then, began with his blowing the lid on what has come to be known as the biggest heist in the nation's history- the Subsidy Scam- which ran into tens of billions of dollars. He was buffeted from all sides with all manner of allegations and barely survived having himself locked up in jail. He eventually found a sanctuary in the opposition, now the ruling party.

Now, inexplicably, the same party that threw everything but the kitchen sink at this recalcitrant and rebellious congressman sees him as a valiant, their knight in shining armour. Wonders huh? Well they voted for him in the absence of half of the members of the Senate as the Senate president, case closed., and for what?- just to spite the opposition, maybe, and to have their man as the Deputy.

In the Green Chamber, Dagora emerged the Speaker. I know quite little about him, but nevertheless, that is immaterial to the crux of this piece.

Here's what my problem is: during the electioneering campaigns, Nigerians/electorates were subjected to all manner of divisive and potentially catastrophic propaganda from the PDP. To mention a few, we saw things like-

1. Buhari is too old to be a leader.

2. Buhari is a terrorist sponsor.

3. Buhari has fossilised ideas and cannot lead a 21st century country effectively.

4. Buhari has prostate cancer and might die soon.

5. Buhari's candidacy is a product Northern conspiracy for National domination.

6. Buhari is "tribalistic".

7. The Northerners suffer from a "Born to Rule Syndrome".

8. APC is a party akin to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. It is dominated by Muslims and Northerners.

And others too numerous to mention.

Numbers 5-8 are my major concern.

Most of the points listed above were propagated and hammered on by same people who are jubilant over the emergence of Dagora and Saraki as Speaker HoR and Senate President respectively. Dagora is a Northerner, Saraki is from North Central (includes christian dominated states such as Taraba, plateau, Benue, but when the time comes, PDP will call him a "Northerner", and when you say "North", everyone thinks "Islam/Muslim). It is necessary putting this in writing because a time will come, perhaps in 2019, when PDP would want to replay that ethnic, religious, and regional cards which appears to be the only ammo in their arsenal- polarise Nigerians along these lines, have them vote based on these sentiments, and see to your retention in office!

Now, the situation we have at present shows Three of the Top Four Positions are occupied by "Northerners" but PDP is happy about it and apparently has no qualms whatsoever with the arrangement.

I have always been against all that North, South, East, West, Muslim, Christian, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo politicking. It has never and will never be the panacea to Nigeria's innumerable problems. Have always been pro Nigeria and would always support whoever it is that gets into an office as far as their competence isn't in doubt.

Without the support of PDP, what happened today wouldn't have happened, so we would hold them to account when the time comes, and remind them of their lofty stance at this time.

The events of today should effectively put to rest all that ethnoreligious politicking that PDP is known for.

We look forward to a very productive National Assembly.

Congrats to Saraki.

Congrats to Dagora.


God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Omenka, I second your motion. I officially want to be recognise as a progressive.
I wish members would would recognise that fact.
What transpired today can best be described as the funniest and illegal inauguration. Members in the Nairaland progressive forum. I wish you accept my membership, so we can move this nation forward without religous, ethnic and personal interest. Thank you.

Still stalemate bro, can't get tru to u

barcanista:
Trust me that won't happen. El rufai can never be President. The next President is Kwankwaso (under PDP) or a formidable NW candidate and a South Eastern VP come 2019.

Seriously thinking kwankwanso would decamp to PDP. Barcanista ur better than dis in political calculation
