Because the construction ended now.

"A rail line connecting Makurdi in Nigeria’s central region to Port Harcourt in the south has become operational, adding to the number of rail lines that the Nigerian government has resuscitated in the last few years

Commissioning the Makurdi- Port Harcourt rail line in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State on Monday, Vice President Namadi Sambo said the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration had vowed to continue with the transformation agenda in the area of rail transport system until all Nigerians have access to train services.

Mr Sambo said that the Federal Government would ensure the completion of another line, the Port Harcourt through Enugu-Makurdi to Kaduna line, before the end of President Jonathan’s administration.

The Vice President also declared that all rail network from the eastern rail line, through Makurdi to Kaduna and linking Kano to Lagos western line would all be connected."

Almajiris Peoples Congress (APC) members should look away now if they want to have heart attack.

The influential CNN Money has just tipped Nigeria to be one of the fastest growing economies in 2015. The full analysis of their report show that GEJ's economic policies has largely diversified the Nigerian economy and the country will experience high growth in 2015 despite the slump in world oil prices.

More pictures of Ibadan rally.

So Buhari LIED that he has a MASTERS Degree in Strategic Studies from the US Army War College when all he has is a DIPLOMA? No wonder he is hiding the certificates.

Meanwhile, what we want is his Senior School Certificate or its equivalent. He should produce it or keep quiet!

Who is he?

LIKE CHED EVANS, UNLIKE BUHARI:

In the UK, Ched Evans, a footballer, was convicted for rape in 2012. He was tried, found guilty, convicted and served his term in prison. He was released from prison in October 2014 after serving half of a five-year sentence. Since then, he has been struggling to get a job as a footballer or even to get a football team to train with as prospective clubs have had to back-off following protests from their fans, sponsors and the general public.

Here in Nigeria, a certain General Buhari raped and truncated democracy in 1983 and presided over one of the most dictatorial governments ever seen. Till date, he has shown no remorse neither has he tendered an apology for his actions. However, while Ched Evans struggles to get a job in the UK, General Buhari, who built a career out of human rights abuses, is now being presented by the main opposition party to contest for the number one job in the country.

When you try to interrogate Buhari’s past or question the rationality or morality behind his attempt to benefit from the same democracy that he raped unto death, his supporters try to intimidate you into silence by telling you to focus on the ‘issues’ and forget the past. In the words of Shaka Momodu of THISDAY “Buhari’s supporters would rather re-write history and shout critics down for daring to air contrary views from the make-belief narrative being used to dupe a new generation of Nigerians.”

Meanwhile, when you point to the infrastructure development that has taken place under the present government, the same supporters of Buhari would attempt to undermine it by comparing it with the standard of similar infrastructure in the UK and elsewhere. Yet they conveniently forget that countries like the UK got to where they are now because people like Buhari can never get a second chance to drag the country backwards, how much more benefit from their past crimes. Such countries understand that A COUNTRY THAT CHOOSES TO IGNORE HER PAST BECAUSE OF THE PRESENT HAS NO FUTURE.

Some of us want a future for our kids here in Nigeria. For that reason, we refuse to be intimidated into silence by those who want to rewrite history for us.

We refuse to accept that a man who abolished the Universal Basic Education Scheme and introduced tuition fees in tertiary institutions in 1984 will now give students scholarships and free school meals because he now wears a dinner suit.

We refuse to believe that a man, who in 1984 sacked millions of workers and implemented policies that dramatically increased unemployment in the country is now competent to create 720000 jobs in one year because he now wears a dinner suit.

We refuse to accept that the same man who presided over an 70% decline in the operational locomotives of the Nigeria Railway Corporation between 1983 – 1985 is now knowledgeable enough to improve on our rail system simply because he now wears a dinner suit.

We refuse to accept that a man who didn't mind throwing away $500 million of the country’s funds just to stop the Lagos Metro line Rail Project and stall development in the South West region is now nationalistic simply because he now wears attires from the different tribes in Nigeria in the course of his campaigns.

We refuse to accept that a man whose favourite pastime since he left office is to grant incendiary interviews on BBC Hausa reflective of a mind filled with supporter of APC ideology is now religiously tolerant because he selects pastors as his running mates, attends churches to solicit for votes and pretends to sing hymns.

We refuse to accept that a man who has been unable to engage in any significant productive and profitable venture since he left office has suddenly acquired the capacity to make Nigerian prosperous merely because he now chants ‘Change’ in campaign rallies.

We refuse to accept that a man who boasts of his poverty and always has to borrow money to buy his presidential nomination forms (at a time when other past leaders all over the world, including OBJ are making millions of bucks in book authorship fees and speaking engagements), has suddenly developed a capacity to create wealth for Nigeria and Nigerians.

We refuse to accept that the same man whose failure as Head of State formed the core of newspaper commentaries, TV talk shows, market stalls and palm wine bar discussions throughout the second half of 1985 and beyond is now suddenly capable of succeeding where he failed before simply because he has changed into a dinner suit.

Like every other Nigerian, Buhari has a right to contest for whatever elective offices he deems fit to. However, as Nigerians who are well aware of our history and why we are where we are today, we also have a right to interrogate Pa Buhari draconian and failed past, and that we shall continue so to do!

TRAIN SYSTEM COMATOSE UNDER PA BUHARI

This was what happened to our rail system under Pa Buhari as Head of State. Check the date of the newspaper and share it widely.

He is incapable of advancing change and positive development. Today, thanks to God who gave us ‪#‎GEJ‬ the ‪#‎GentleGiant‬ and ‪#‎GreatAchiever‬ ‪#‎TheTrainsAreBack‬ and many Nigerians are enjoying the service from Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Enugu, Port Harcourt and many more places.

Rev Fr Mbaka has just explained that he switched his support from the president to Buhari because the first lady, Patience Jonathan refused to honour his calls.

In his words : “When she came here, I told her to give me her number so that I could give her messages, but thrice she refused,” he said. “It was later she told one of the pastors with her to give me his number. Before that message (On December 31), I had called the number for two weeks but it was always the personal assistant to the pastor that picked the calls.”

"Truth is that Buhari cannot pretend to be unaware of the fanaticism, belligerence and overzealousness that characterize the activities and modus operandi of his many faithful followers. In the eyes of Buhari’s teeming followers, we must UNCRITICALLY accept everything Buhari says as messianic epistle that should never be interrogated nor questioned. “His feet must not be put to fire. To ask him hard questions is to commit mortal sin”. Any questioning of Buhari’s candidacy, no matter how legitimate, attracts far-flung missiles, unlimited curses and volcanic eruption of threats and insults. It doesn’t get more intolerant than this. The worst part is intellectuals and the seemingly enlightened electorate have joined the bandwagon, unashamedly exhibiting such regretful, undemocratic behaviour.

What Buhari’s silence – in the face of this growing intolerance to opposing views – shows is that he learned no useful lessons from the 2011 post-election violence that claimed no less than 800 lives, including young citizens cut down in their prime while serving their fatherland under the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme. In fact, it’s either he learnt no lessons from that tragic incident or that he doesn’t regret that it happened. It was his discomforting silence that emboldened his opponents to attribute the 2011 post-election violence to him, and twist his pre-election statements out of context. Consequently, a smear campaign against him flourished and falsehood embellished as truth was engraved in the minds of many till this day. It took several years of protracted litigation and counter-claims before an apology could be extracted from Reuben Abati, the author of the April 22, 2011 Guardian newspaper article entitled “For the attention of General Buhari,” which claimed that Buhari‘s unguarded statement stirred the 2011 post-election violence."

They are the extremist views of Buhari

Folarinwazzy:
What's this

I agree with you. I have been thinking of this for the past few days and came to the conclusion that the problem with Nigeria is that of followership and not leadership.

djon78:
What realy got to me in this article, is how out of 160 million people we have the choice of either Buhari or GEJ as President, then honestly something is terribly and fundamentally wrong with the 160million people.

Why is Buhari always backing illegality and violence?

1. Buhari backed Boko Haram
2. Buhari backed Sani Abacha
3. Buhari backs post election violence
4. Buhari backs sharia across all states in Nigeria
5. Buhari backs terrorism
6. Buhari opposes killing of Boko Haram
7 Buhari opposes listing of Boko Haram as a terrorist group.

NOW..
8. BUHARI BACKS MUTINY

In what could be deemed a significant deviation from the Nigerian Armed Forces’ doctrine, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Organisation on Tuesday endorsed the incidents of mutiny by soldiers and officers of the all-volunteer Nigerian Army, who had sworn to defend Nigeria’s territorial integrity, but refused to fight when they were sent to combat terrorism in the North-east.

Enunciating the position of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, whose candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, is a retired army major-general, former military head of state and must be conversant with the Nigerian Armed Forces Act, its Director-General (DG) and Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, said the soldiers sentenced to death by the Nigerian military authorities were within their rights to protest.

http://www.punchng.com/news/im-not-funding-apc-amaechi/
THE Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has dismissed claims by the Peoples Democratic Party that he was funding the All Progressives Congress with the state’s resources.

The PDP in Rivers State had maintained that finances of the state had become inadequate for executing development projects because the governor was using a large chunk of the resources to fund APC campaigns.

Amaechi had defected from the PDP to the APC after a lingering political crisis that threatened the governor’s control of the PDP structures in the state.

But Amaechi, who spoke at the launch of the campaign of the State APC governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, at the Liberation Stadium in Port Harcourt, insisted that he was not funding the APC.

He challenged those accusing him of using state resources to fund the APC to show any proof or bank account through which he was sending money belonging to the state to the party.

Describing the APC as a political party capable of funding its activities, the governor explained that the state had no money to fund any political party.

According to him, “Rivers State Government has no money to fund the APC. They have been accusing me of using Rivers money to fund the APC. The APC is a big party. So, it can fund its activities.

“I do not fund the APC with Rivers money. I challenge all those who have been accusing me of funding the APC to show just one account through which I fund the APC with monies belonging to Rivers State.”

Amaechi, however, urged members of the party from Port Harcourt Local Government Area to collect their permanent voters’ cards and vote for the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, on February 14, 2015.

“Buhari can win the presidential election if you vote for him. Your vote can make the needed change in Nigeria. Buhari will make sure that the thieves amongst Nigerians do not steal your money again.

“He will then use the money he has saved from the thieves amongst Nigerians to build roads, infrastructure and fight poverty and create jobs for millions of Nigerians,” the governor said.

Describing Peterside as his successor, Amaechi, who introduced the APC governorship candidate to the crowd, expressed dissatisfaction over the turnout of the party supporters for the rally, adding that the exercise will be repeated on January 2, 2015.

He said, “This stadium has a capacity for 16,000 people. You promised us you were going to mobilise 20,000 supporters to the rally, but you could only mobilise 10,000, which is not good enough. Port Harcourt Local Government has over 106,000 registered APC members. So, you must repeat this rally.”

In his remark, Peterside urged the people of the state to vote for their destiny and that of their children, adding that the 2015 governorship election was not about ethnicity.

“The 2015 governorship election is not about ethnicity; it is not about our individual tribe; it is not about where you come from; it is about your destiny and the destiny of your children. It is about our collective future,” the governorship candidate added.

Peterside added that his administration would focus on four key areas, describing them as security, respect for the rule of law, infrastructural projects, the development of human capital and wealth creation.

Also, the State APC Chairman, Dr. Davis Ibiamu Ikanya, explained that the party would organize rallies for its governorship candidate in the 23 local government areas in the state.

Highlight of the occasion was the decamping of some members of the Rivers Mainstream Coalition to the APC. The coalition is formerly a platform on which the aggrieved 16 governors expressed their views against the PDP’s refusal to embrace the rotation of the governorship position.

Some of the defectors are Lolo Ibieneye now the chief campaign strategist for Peterside’s campaign organization. Also, the coalition’s spokesman, Mr. Sotoye Ijiye-Dagogo and some other PDP bigwigs in the state like Curtis Dike and Chief Davis Sab

With all the money spent, an incumbent goverment could only mobilise 10000 out of over 500,000 voters in PHALGA. Even a blind man will know that this is a sign of total rejection!

mistabiola:
Very Wrong gimme the source and I will believe you

I don't encourage laziness as your Buhari does, so I'm not going to give you any source. Google for yourself and you'll find them for yourself. One of the things you'll find is that Buhari is "Perpetually Unelectable" said by El-Rufai in 2010 just before the 2011 elections which Buhari contested and lost.

Edwardhead:
Buhari has been contesting for the post since 2003

We didn't hear all this craps

Why now?

Because it's his time.

Wrong! We have been hearing all about Buhari since 2003. It is for this reasons that he has been losing since 2003. In particular, his supporter of APC credentials have been on display since 2003. That is the reason he has has failed to get eve 10 percent of votes in the South since then.

"Things get a bit more complicated for General Buhari and his loyalists the moment you move beyond the General’s impeccable personal capital to other things you need to be acceptable to all Nigerians irrespective of tribe and creed. General Buhari’s loyalists are quick to insist that he is a pan-Nigerian statesman. His statements and actions suggest otherwise and when concerned Nigerians insist on raising that significant issue, the General’s loyalists, like Tinubu’s supporters, recourse to ‘eebu tins’ to sell their product. They curse and curse and curse. They rain insult upon insult on Nigerians for being simpletons who just can’t understand the General.

But the Nigerians who are being insulted by Buhari’s loyalists are not the people responsible for the persistent question mark on the General’s pan-Nigerian credentials. The General is and the blame must be placed firmly and unequivocally at his doorstep. General Buhari has done more in the last two decades or so to forge an image of himself as a closet geopolitical irredentist and very little to encourage perceptions of himself as a pan-Nigerian statesman. This is not limited to his healthy syllabus of northern and Islamic irredentist statements – his supporters are ever ready to insult us that we are just not intelligent enough to understand those statements – but also to his inaction. My stomach churns whenever I encounter pro-Buhari statements starting with such illogicalities as “Buhari is the only living Nigerian capable of this and that”. Really? Please! There are 160 million of us. There must be limits to hyperbole. And there is no greater insult than saying that 160 million of us are either too mischievous or too unintelligent to understand the repeated careless statements of your hero. Personally, I’m loath to have a President of Nigeria who constantly needs the service of the extra-talented geniuses in his core support base to explain his constant stream of misstatements and misspeaks to 160 million unintelligent simpletons. We must ask the question again: why is it that only fundamentalist loyalists have found the key to understanding General Buhari’s statements?

Now to Buhari’s inaction. We must ask his supporters: exactly where is Buhari’s national presence, say, since 2011? His statements, careless or reasonable, mostly get to the south of the river Niger whenever local journalists are lucky enough to monitor an interview he granted the Hausa service of BBC or VOA from his Kaduna base. I know that he was at my friend, Nasir El Rufai’s book launch in Lagos and was, also, recently at the funeral of Asiwaju’s mother in Lagos. If , rather than cultivate this broad national praxis in the service of my presidential ambition, I cocoon myself mostly in Kaduna, releasing northern and Islamic irredentist statements to the rest of the country in interviews granted the Hausa service of BBC and VOA, going as far as to carelessly equate a legitimate clamp down on Boko Haram with a war against the North, I should be prepared to accept responsibility for a certain perception of myself and work very hard to address the issue.
[b]
Personally, I’m not on the Buhari train because I am not convinced that we cannot find a Nigerian in the age bracket of 40-55 among 160 million people who fits the bill for 2015. As a friend of mine, Kemi Sisi Eko, once observed, there is something fundamentally wrong with you if you are a Nigerian in your 20s, 30s, or 40s and you insist that a septuagenarian is the singular and the only answer to your problem in the age of Obama, Cameron, Merkel, Harper, and Hollande. [/b]If I raise this issue, it is your responsibility as a Buhari loyalist to engage or confront me with superior logic and try to persuade me. Don’t come hurling insults at me, avoiding serious issues by claiming that I harbor some undefined animus against the General. That is the lazy strategy that General Buhari’s loyalists often deploy to kill genuine debate."

Following the announcement of Yemi Osinbajo as Vice President candidate of the APC, Governor Amaechi has said he will form a parallel Vice Presidency.

PaulThor:
FEC meeting is yet to be held... FEC meeting is where the federal govt distributes money allocation to states.. PDP cancled it because of their convention and is yet to fix a date for the meeting.. Diamond bank paying thier workers may be a bank decision, not really govt.

As you can see, major works have stopped in rivers.. This is because of short in cash.. Many of the foreign companies handling projects are paid in dollars..

So since naira has been devalued.. You now have to pay more dan what it used to be..

Internally generated revenue can pay half of our salaries.. But the nlc rivers state rejected that approach..

So what we can do now is to wait for fec to release allocation money as soon as they can.....

Thanks.....

First of all, money is not distributed in FEC meeting. It is distributed in the FAAC meeting.

Having said that, We got into this situation because Amaechi took one month's allocation to play politics. Before now, the allocation distributed during the FAAC meeting is used to pay the salaries for that month. For example, the allocation to be distributed in December was used to pay December salary. This is why salaries were always paid on time. However, the governor has not used one month allocation to play politics. So what happens now IN RIVERS STATE is that the allocation distributed in a month is now used to pay the previous month's salaries. So for example, the allocation to be paid in December will be used for November salaries hence the delay.

It is also not true that internally generated revenue can pay only half of the salaries. Rivers state IGR is an average of 7billion per month while salaries is about 8billion per month( a shortfall of 1billion which could be easily gotten from all the loans the governor has been collecting for politics).

OrlandoOwoh:
You've not said what your problem with Buhari is, whether he "banned" NASS or he is in his 70's?

Is there a law that I must have only one problem with Buhari. Of course I don't want him to be president because he is empty, and, as shown in the original post, he failed woefully in his previous stint as Head of State. At the same time, I also cannot vote for him because he is now in his old age and can therefore not offer anything new apart from the disaster he offered previously. Are you satisfied now?

OrlandoOwoh:
Mumu, Buhari never banned NANS (then known as NUNS); Obasanjo did in 1978.

I am not surprised that you don't know that BUHARI BANNED NANS. This is because part from APC members who support Buhari for obvious partisan reasons, only the uninformed, ignorants and illiterates will support a seventy something year old former dictator and illiterate to be President.

So far so good. The Buharists have not been able to contradict any of these facts.

1. He banned the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS)
2. He sacked over 1 million workers
3. He enacted Decree Number 4 to protect dubious government officials from public criticism and to muzzle public opinion.
4. He and other military officers refused to declare their assets publicly as they had earlier promised to do.
5. He banned the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD)
6. He dismissed doctors that went on strike and the detention of their leaders for being a 'threat' to 'state security'.
7. He organised an anti-intellectual campaign which included a ban on all politically related symposia and seminars
8. He refused to put ex-President Shagari on trial in order to appease the Muslim north.
9. He paid salaries irregularly and caused shortage of basic commodities
10. He made wives of military officers dealers of the imported rice which he rationed to Nigerians
11. His economic policies caused a over 500% increase (in one year) in the prices of staple foods and essential commodities
12. His economic policies led to a scarcity of cooking oil, soap, milk, rice, sugar, salt and meat
13. He introduced tuition fees in higher institutions which were earlier abolished in 1972.
14. He abandoned the immensely popular Universal Primary Education scheme which the country embarked upon a decade ago which forced thousands of poor urban and rural families to withdraw their children from schools. (NB. The North is still suffering this act!)
15. He detained a number of academics, journalists and students critical of the regime. For example, literary critic 'Biodun Jeyifor of the University of Ife, the novelist Festus Iyayi, the linguist Tunde Fatugba (both of Benin University), the political economist Ola Oni (University of Ibadan), Tai Solarin were variously detained for critical views against the government and for their work in university trade unions
16. He sentenced Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, a long-time critic of arbitrary rule in the country to 5 years in prison.

P.S. I challenge Buharists to challenge or contradict any of these facts!

Dear teachers, every month we keep on lamenting how bad the RSG is treating workers by not paying but the other way round they can not be totally said to be a bad govt. though they may not be the best but if we can be patient we are already civil servants by the grace of the same govt. what you cant have today, tomorrow for sure you will have. lets leave sentiments and politics for those who need it. mind us, pols come and go but we are always there. let us appreciate RSG, or try ABSG. to whom it may concern.

People have a right to complain if their salaries are not paid as at when due. Stop talking as if government is doing a favour by employing people and paying salaries.

Headline Findings

In order to win the Presidency in 2015, the successful party will have to control the majority of Nigeria’s 36 state Governorships.
In the 2015 elections half of the State Governors will have completed their maximum two terms, so state-level elections are likely to be extremely competitive across the country.

Of the 28 governorship elections taking place, 18 states (or two-thirds) will have vacant seats. 10 of these 18 states have 40.9% of all registered voters.

This numerical analysis indicates both the PDP and APC could each secure 17 states in Governorship elections.

To win, a Presidential candidate needs an overall majority and at least 25% of the votes in two-thirds of the states (24 states). On current indications, if President Goodluck Jonathan runs as PDP candidate he is likely to get an overall majority. However, he may not automatically get the necessary one-quarter of the vote in two-thirds of states and the FCT.

Therefore if voting patterns are similar to 2011 a run-off election situation would be likely. This would be a historic first under Nigeria’s present electoral system.

However, this run-off outcome is likely to be determined by the choice of candidates put up by the main APC opposition party and the issue of North-South ‘zoning’.

It is difficult to predict the outcome of this run-off. If it does not favour an outright win for the PDP, it may further weaken its chances at the subsequent gubernatorial elections given that half of the seats are vacant.

2011’s results are only a useful guide to 2015 if conditions stay the same, including INEC’s conduct in voter registration and election management.

Therefore, with high incentives for many actors to rig, it will be important for stakeholders in democratic consolidation to focus on issues such as registration and collation, which are likely to be hot in all states.

[quote author[b]=tokunboh post=27723877]

You should start reading news content and not misleading headlines you see on[/b] NL. Tambuwal is not challenging his removal as speaker rather he wants the court to stop the house from reconvening and also want his police escorts restored. That funny Alhaji is busy playing to the gallery.

It's even more funny that you have said the police should go to court before they could enforce the law. I bow to you o. The fact still remains Tambuwal is not even a member of the house of reps.[/quote]Don't mind him. Reading headlines and arguing emotionally on a legal issue.

thegreatman4ww:
On the issue of Police enforcing the law, maybe you can give candid answers to this and relate it with your stand
1. Why will NPF arraigned arm robbers/kidnappers/murders (even when caught red-handed with many witnesses) before the court when the laws are very clear on the setence to be melt on them?
2. If NPF will seek Court judgement on those cases why not seek/wait for court judgement before enforcing.
3. And if by your logic EFCC and co shouldnt be going to court before sending indicted ppl to prison.
4. Oh you want to respond that those cases are different from Tambuwal case?

Because the constitution states as follows:

Section "35. (1) Every person shall be entitled to his personal liberty and no person shall be deprived of such liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure permitted by law -

(a) in execution of the sentence or order of a court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty."

In other word the police are ENFORCING section 35(1) of the constitution when they take people to court. Now can you the part of our laws that says the police must take a defecting member to court? I'm waiting.
