PoliticsRe: Pictures Of Ambode Playing Football And Table Tennis by Matthewbriggs(m):
adebisicutie:
Why do these 2 comments sound like they are from the same person huh How much did Jimi pay you winkHe needs a refund because you are too obvious grin
Smh.

First I am not surprised another person shared the same sentiment as me. So you thinking that we sound alike is actually a good thing meaning that many other people are beginning to see through the charade that is Ambode.

The real question is not how much agbaje payed me but how much did ambode pay you to still follow him blindly, even when you can see clearly from that debate that Ambode has no new ideas, and is less intelligent when compared to Agbaje who is even more intouch with the realities the lagos people face.

The real question is, why would you target the messenger instead of the message. Is because the message is nothing short of the truth, so therefore the next best thing is to try to discredit the messenger so as to in turn discredit the message. For you to use this tactics I think you deserve a raise from ambode , because you are really doing a good job as a paid "PR professional"

DREAMERS.

Their hired oyinbo people simply earning their wage.
I follow AKPD media group. Even before the news that APC hired them. I had this feeling they did, because of the direction their campaign took in regards to their messaging and communication.

The question is not whether they hired Oyinbo people which is a smart move. The real question is the fact that the buhari they are trying to sell to Nigerians is very far from the who the real buhari is.

Some times I imagine my self to be god living among men. Only to wake to the reality that I am just one out of 7billion people.

Sometimes I try to imagine what my spirit being looks like. Is he in solid form or just formless.

Sometimes I imagine what it would be like be blessed with God like intelligence. And how I would use this I intelligence to do great things

Sometimes I imagine what it would be like if Nigeria was a world power.

Sometimes I wish I had supernatural powers that enables me to absorb the pain in others by just touching them.

Sometimes I imagine what it would be like yo be able to bend time zoom into the past and future.

I think we are not alone in this universe, that the reason we think life is not mars is because of our definition of what life is. In mars maybe the life form their are rocks and stones who have a soul and sprit.

Sometimes I wish I could become a very powerful supernatural being who can enter into the privates spaces of all world presidents from Obama to GEJ to Putin with out been detected. I would sit them down posses them and make them do what I think is right.

Sometimes I imagine been able to move smoothly between dimensions, space and galaxys.

your response is fo0lish, from a fo0l, and for the fo0ls.

All previous leaders in Nigeria, including Obasanjo and Yaradua kept these deadly group(s) in check.

But your master, the clueless one, for undisclosed reasons, pampered them, funded them, armed them, shielded them, sheltered them, ceded Nigerian territories to them, and kept on diverting attention from any meaningful discourse on them; while blaming everyone from his imagination, that comes to his mouth, for being responsible for inability to stem the problem.

A president that can not take presidential responsibilities. what is he?
First my responses are factual based on hard raw facts not pulled from thing air. You calling me a fool is not based on sound reasoning but based on bias and emotion. I get it people can be very emotional when it comes to politics ... Not me.

@ bolded GEJ is not my master his is the president of the federal republic of Nigeria, and you statements that he pampered, funded and armed, shielded and sheltered them are baseless accusations ...

You are wrong GEJ is carrying out his presidential responsibilities admist the presence of an opposition doing every thing they can to oppose him even when his actions are in the best interest of Nigeria.

Case in point is a loan of 1 billion dollars he needed to use get more military hardware. loan that is not a cash loan but comes on the form of military hard ware. this loan is to be paid in seven years with no interest guess what this same APC that shouts that the military is not equipped kicked against this loan... and you want me to support such a party. God forbid.

The fact is If GEJ did all those things I listed in the last post you quoted. Then would APC have had the right to demand to see his waec result. At this juncture unlike your buhari GEJ did not lie under oath and release to the public a forged certificate. He can show you his waec scores at his own discretion.

so you mean a man that calls a terrorist is brother is diff from buhari? Smh
Yes because he understand that some of these terrorist are Nigerians who have gone astray. Your brother who becomes a thief even tho though a thief is still your brother.

What that suggests is that he would be using a two pronged approach. A hard one and soft one. The hard means he would attack them and kill them while the soft one means for thos who change and drop down their weapon they could be pardoned and rehabilitalized.

I would prefer him to a man who instead of standing with the army tries to pit the army against the entire north, and therefore in turn sow more seed of discord in the minds of the people against the army. which in a way goes on to feed the ideaology that powers terrorisim.

bros out of all my questions u only selected 2 that u could put a less assertive answer to.....

only a competent politician can rule a country of over 150million....till date Yar Adua short regime is what I still count has the best governance in the country history

The reason I stated u are biased is thru some of ur points .. u are holding the northerners solely responsible for book haram while some PDP E-warrior are finger-pointing Buhari as the man backer of boko haram even though there's no evidence to back the claim that buhari is responsible for book haram

I remember clearly in 2010/2011 when Jonathan made mention that Okah was his brother ....does that mean Jonathan is responsible or in cohort with okah for the Bombing? No

As a concern citizen i can clearly say Jonathan has failed his citizens and the nation as a whole...

I dont know or can't guaranty if Buhari is the change Nigeria needs but one thing that's clear is Jonathan is a clear way backward...his corruption index is either closer or higher then babagidas regime....

Deducting 10naira from the fuel price is not the solution to the current problem...terrorism and corruption is killing the nation...Nigerians are tired of all the junks abt how good our economy is on papers which is not reflecting in its citizens and always hearing abt daily loss of lives and properties

Winning a war against terrorism may take years but you need to take the right steps to be acertain of victory

A
You modified your post. I did not see those other follow up question.

I do not see boko haram as a northern problem. I never stated that any where in my post.

I simply stated that that your man of Change buhari stated that "A fight against boko haram is a fight against the north" I would not support a man who instead of cheering the army to victory was against them. I would not find it cool to see this same man leading the army.

I simply stated that in America the world trade center fell, In paris artist were killed, in australia terrorist took over a cafe in all these scenario the opposition stood together with the government. But in Nigeria we have an opposition who is against the government plan to access a 1billion dollar loan that is to be use to acquire more military hardware even when it is clear that this loan is interest free and not in cash.
I would not trust such an opposition with this same military.


Buhari is not competent if he can not manage the fallout and drama surrounding his common certificate. He can not manage anything. He has not become president yet here we have scandal. Nigerian would be in for a lot of scandal when he becomes president.


Did jonathan say that deducting 10N is the solution to nigerias problem.


Dude I am Voting for GEJ because the opposition is even much worse.
The change you all tout is a CHAM a charade it is fake.

Change is when you chose a fashola who is more competent as your candidate instead to basing that decision on tribe and religion.

Buhari went to the United States Army War College and attended Officer's Cadet School in Aldershot (United Kingdom) in October 1963 and the Defence Services' Staff College, Wellington (India) in 1973. This is the man we need to handle this menace. #saiBuhari

is this not the same military OBJ used against the militants? Did the military use bows and arrow in Odi?
I laugh at this statement.

Did the military battle in ODI stop mend.
Was ODI saga effective in defeating or stopping the activities of MEND.

Leme surprise you. Do you know that our military have replicated ODI type of battle too many times to mention. They have cleared boko haram killed them and recovered territories only for them to lose it again. Under Ihejirika no territory was lost. He was brutal in attacking them.

Only for your Buhari to say "An attack against the north is an attack against boko haram". After much bruhaha Ihejirika was removed since then things have never been the same.

Recently I had the privilege of having a drink with a key member of the Borno state ruling class and he said boko haram would stop when we northerners want it to stop. He said that their is a huge conspiracy going on against the military where some elements in and outside the military support boko haram and hence provide them with intel... This is one of the key reasons for the several setbacks the military is facing. He says he can't fathom how people would chose to support a group that is bent on killing their own people.

This statement backs my assertion that Killing terrorist alone can't stop terror, killing the ideology that breed terror is how to defeat terrorism.

In closing he told me and I quote "Jonathan is good man the problem with him is that he is not a good politician ". I was surprised to hear this words from him. especially coming from someone from that region.

am really surprise an intellect could be so biased.....


What Has Jonathan some to curb book Haram? The main reason this book haram became an issue was due to Jonathan negligence.. I was serving in the north in 2010 and I can tell u that the fed govt made book haram stronger due to their negligence
Far from it I am not biasied

Most Nigerians want results ... They want to see magic happen. They want to hear that our 200 girls are back, that all the captured state in bornu are now under the Military control, the want to shekua head on a tray and Boko haram disbanded . I want the same results too.
The challenge is that they fail to realize that you can't get results out of thin air from an army who for the past 30 years have been left to rot, both in equipment, and in training by successive governments. The quality of our soldiers are no longer what it used to. We have people joining the military not out of patriotism but mainly due to the desire to make ends meet.

Also According to Vanguardngr.com I quote
From the deep divisions in the fighting ranks of the Nigerian military, it does appear these selfish politicians have reached out to their contacts in the military and convinced many of them not to fight and to sabotage the operations of the Nigerian military. This has led to too many desertions and cowardly actions, which have paved the way for the Boko Haram to make frightful progress to the point of establishing caliphates here and there - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/11/boko-haram-curious-calls-presidents-resignation/#sthash.BkUsaPgy.dpuf

So aside Goodluck working hard to correct an over 30 years rot in the military, and leading an army /citizenry filled with saboteurs and Boko haram sympathizers he has to navigating his way around the stiff opposition from the west that is bent on limiting his ability to purchase weapons due to their spurious human rights.

Moreover in terms of Ammunition purchase he has recently been able to secure a I billion dollar loan. This loan is not a cash loan but supply of military hardware to be paid over seven years. This loan does not attract interest.

It is very strategic move given that Close to 90% of the armies budget goes into recurrent expenditure. With only 10% left for milex any attempt by GEJ to encroach into the 90% would spell doom to the salaries of men of service who put their life on line for Nigeria. Taking a 1billion loan that did not attract interest and would be paid over 7 years is a very strategic decision. We are on a part to have a much more equipped army to battle terror.

The irony is that the same APC saying Nigerian army lack ammunition were against this move. Whewww What an opposition.

CHM11:
Dude it is a pressing issue if he wants to become my president (since he didn't allow the like of fashola to vie for the presidential sit because its the birthright of the North) then he should meet the basic requirement.

You talked about having a diploma...this is flawed.
If the minimum requirement to enter Chevron is a graduate trainee is a second class upper in engineering or sciences and you come with a 2'2 + MSc and PhD, you will not be employed because you simply do not have a 2'1 at BSc level.

Additionally, you can only be offered the chance to get a diploma if you have your o'level. Its this O'level that people are requesting, GMB should do the needful and request for copies of his O'level from WAEC and/or Cambridge and shut critics up.

As for me I am not in any camp, but as a son of a millitary officer, I know how so many northern officers were favoured in place of other more qualified southern officers back then. A northerner who knows nothing, does not have any qualification or intelligence would be promoted to the rank of Brig gen while southern officers will still remain colonels.

Its still happening today, NNPC is crowded with Northerners who have NCE, OND and HND in some weird courses while southerners with BSc, BEng, MSc and other outstanding qualifications in applicable engineering and science disciplines are jobless. This country doesn't belong to a set of persons. It is OUR country. I am still waiting for a time when we will not have a northerner in power either as president or vice..... We in the south here are not fools. (Some will say we've passed the stage of tribe and religion but performance, tell that to Buhari and APC, they are the ones who zoned the ticket to the muslim North. If they wanted true change they would have given us Fashola)

PoliticsRe: Nigerians Demand To See The President's Assets Declaration Form! by Matthewbriggs(m):
Is that a constitutional requirement stipulated by INEC. If yes Did Jonathan submit an affidavit in place of it.


You know what, APC's goons don't get it. The whole bruhaha about this certificate is not about whether he went to School or not. Personally I give no F about certificates.

It is the fact that your buhari, who you all pride as a man of integrity and of his word ... decides to play with our intelligence and take us on a merry go round.

First via an affidavit he tells us that his certificate is with the military ... after much pressure, did he now open up to tell us that he lost it when IBB boys vandalized his property. Military goes on to say that they are not with his original certificates only records. It is after much pressure did he go to get it from his school.

I am 100% sure if he told Nigerians that he lost his certificate during the coup and that he would be getting another copy from his school. This whole drama surrounding this certificate would not have gotten to this level. Case in point is Sambo who told Nigerian's from the get go that he lost his certificate in a fire.

Buhari and APC showed incompetence and cluelessness in the way and manner they handle this certificate saga. This is FACT.

The irony is if it was the other way round APC would do the same thing. PDP just gave you guys a nice dose of your own medicine via this certificate saga.

As for plans to get GEJ to show or release to the public his ASSETS DECLARATION FORMS is commendable.

I think all political office holders should be made to do so. Moreover I hope this movement starts with Buhari, Tinubu, Fashola, Ameachi and Kwankwaso. infact all leaders of the pseudo change movement. It would be commendable to have them set the pace by declaring their assets. As they say charity begins at home.
